I have pure love with them

"..."

When he heard Izumi talking about 'CRYCHIC', Shiina Riki, who was originally just a little unhappy, suddenly entered a low-pressure state, and his expression and eyes became unpleasant.

'That's really interesting.'

Seeing Shiina Riki's face suddenly blushing, Izumi didn't want to stay in front of her and attract her hatred. She followed the shop assistant Shinji Rinrinko and went to the recording studio again with Goto Ichiri.

Shiina Riki looked at the other person's back as he left and couldn't help biting her lips. She didn't know if the other person was deliberately mentioning "CRYCHIC" in front of her again and again.

She still hasn't gotten over the past.

But it's not just her. Deng and Shuangshi, they probably haven't gotten out of the shadow of that day either.

"..."

She silently gathered her thoughts and began to prepare the juice.

"Are you busy?"

A gentle and soft voice came from behind. Shiina Riki, who was preparing juice, paused for a moment and slowly turned around to look at the chestnut-haired girl standing in front of the bar, exuding the temperament of an elegant young lady.

"Is there a problem?"

Looking at the members who used to be in the same band and now appeared in front of him, Shiina Riki's expression did not ease at all, and still looked gloomy and cold.

"It would be very rude to entertain guests with such an expression, Li Xi, what happened?"

"It has nothing to do with you. What are you doing here?"

Nagasaki Soyo's eyes looked at Shiina Tatsuki gently, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, silently putting pressure on Shiina Tatsuki. But for Shiina Tatsuki, Nagasaki Soyo in front of her was not an important person to her, so she did not feel any pressure.

"...a Darjeeling, if you please."

After hearing Nagasaki Sose's request, Shiina Tachibana turned around and continued to prepare the juice. As for Nagasaki Sose's Darjeeling, according to the first-come-first-served principle, he had to wait until the juice was ready.

Following the round curves, she gently pressed down the hem of her skirt and sat down, with her hands folded in front of her and placed under her chin. Nagasaki Shoyo had a cold smile on her lips, and her ice-blue eyes stared at Shiina Riki's busy back without emotion.

19. How do you make up for a mistake comparable to rear-ending a black car?

"I'm Shinji Rinrinko, a store clerk at 'RiNg'. I'm sorry for being so rude to her just now."

The clerk who led Izumi and Goto Ichiri to the recording studio, after leading them into the recording studio, apologized to Izumi and Goto Ichiri for Shiina Tatsuki.

"Eh?"

Goto Ichiri was a little surprised and flustered when Shinji Rinrinko suddenly apologized. She subconsciously shrank towards Izumi, and her eyes looked at Izumi who was beside her and was better at communication than her.

"Is it about Miss Shiina?"

"Yes, Li Xi is usually a very sensible child, but maybe there was some misunderstanding between him and the two of you just now? That's why he acted so... rude. If you don't mind, this is our discount card. Please accept it as an apology."

Just now in the lobby, when she heard Shiina Riki say "It's you again", the smile on Shinji Rinrinko's face became stiff. She felt troubled by Shiina Riki's service attitude, and was afraid that it would cause dissatisfaction among the two guests in front of her.

As someone who knew her, Shinji Rinrinko could understand what Shiina Riki said. She might just be a little surprised and confused, but in the eyes of outsiders, her reaction was indeed not friendly.

The reason why she was not allowed to do the job of receptionist was precisely because of this. However, she was not expected that such a mistake would still occur even if she was only asked to handle beverage service.

This country has always been adhering to the concept of "the customer is God" in the service industry. Shiina Riki's behavior just now was completely giving the "God" the cold shoulder. Once complained by the customer, Shinji Rinrinko, as a clerk, would have no way to let Shiina Riki, who was not suitable for entertaining customers, continue to work here.

Therefore, in order to make up for the mistakes made by her juniors at work and retain these two guests who were coming for the second time, Shinji Rinrinko took out the discount card from her pocket and handed it to Izumi.

As a person in the service industry, Rinrinko Shinji can naturally tell who is the one who can take the lead and make decisions among the boys and girls in front of her.

"Although I don't quite understand why Miss Shiina reacted like that, but... I don't really care about Miss Shiina's reaction just now."

Facing the discount card handed over, Izumi, who was standing in front of Shinji Rinrinko, lowered her eyes to glance at the discount amount on the card, and expressed her understanding of Shiina Riki with a smile.

"But no matter what, as a shop assistant, Li Xi's attitude just now was not what a qualified shop assistant should show. Please accept this apology."

Shinji Rinrinko did not accept the discount card that was handed to her, but handed it to Izumi with both hands.

"Then... I understand. I have accepted it."

After politely declining, Izumi did not continue to argue with Shinji Rinrinko. He accepted the so-called "apology" with a smile. Looking at Shinji Rinrinko as if a burden had been lifted off a burden, he left the recording studio and handed one of the discount cards to Goto Ichiri who was standing beside him.

"Here, take it."

"…But, this is for Chihaya-kun, right?"

"There are two in total, one for me and one for Goto-san. Isn't that just right?"

"B-but... I don't have anything I can be of use to... I wouldn't come to a place like this alone, so... Chihaya-san should just take it."

Goto Ichiri looked at the discount card in Izumi's hand and hesitated for a moment. She thought that accepting the discount card would not be of any use to her. She might as well give it to Chihaya as a thank you gift for her willingness to play guitar with her.

"I actually wouldn't come to a place like this by myself. I would only come here with Goto-san, so one for me and one for Goto-san, it's the same."

The discount card was handed to Goto Ichiri. The girl looked at the discount card with a slightly complicated mood. She felt Quan's respect for her, pursed her lips slightly, and accepted the discount card.

While the two were playing, juice was delivered to the recording studio, but the person who delivered the juice was not Shiina Tatsuki, but Shinji Rinko.

"It's not Shiina Riki."

Izumi, who was playing "I Want to Be a Human" on purpose, felt a little disappointed when she saw that the person who came in was not Shiina Tatsuki, but she still smiled and expressed her gratitude to Shinji Rinrinko.

"Do you have any idea of ​​forming a band, Goto-san?"

"Eh?"

Rinrinko Shinji left the recording studio, picked up the fountain of juice, stopped practicing temporarily, looked at Goto Ichiri and asked her a question. Goto Ichiri, who also held the juice, looked up blankly and then quickly shook his head.

“Eyesight, eyesight, eyesight… I, I can’t do it.”

Goto Ichiri, who couldn't even initiate a conversation with anyone, couldn't imagine herself forming a band. Even though she often fantasized about becoming a rock star, she couldn't even chat with anyone in real life, so she didn't think she could really form a band and become the rock star she imagined.

"Goto-san, 'whether you want to' and 'whether you can do it' are two different questions."

Biting the juice straw, Izumi looked at her with a smile, pointing out the difference between his question and Goto Ichiri's answer.

The image of the cheerful boy biting the straw made Goto Ichiri feel as if a refreshing breeze was blowing through his heart, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

"Take a picture of it - I really want to take a picture of it and use it as a standby screen..."

Her hand trembled and she subconsciously reached for her pocket, but just before she took out her cell phone, under Quan's slightly puzzled gaze, she suppressed the impulse and desire in her heart.

"Goto-san?"

"exist!"

"What's wrong?"

"No...nothing."

Facing Izumi's gaze, Goto Ichiri suddenly felt guilty and turned her head to look at the ground at an angle, avoiding Izumi's gaze.

A feeling of tension, different from the previous fear, made Goto Ichiri's breathing slow down. She lowered her head and looked at the smooth floor that reflected the light, holding the juice in her hand without saying a word.

Seeing Goto Ichiri's reaction was obviously wrong, Izumi's expression became a little subtle.

"Her reaction..."

Looking at Goto Ichiri with his back to him, Izumi did not continue asking the previous question.

After resting for a while, the two continued to play rock songs of different styles. When the time was up, they left the recording studio together.

"Lixi."

When Izumi and Goto Ichiri appeared in the lobby, Rinrinko Shinji, who was standing at the front desk, suddenly spoke up to remind Tatsuki Shiina who was working.

"..."

Shiina Ritsuki, who originally wanted to lower his head and pretend not to see it, put down the coffee cup in his hand reluctantly after hearing the reminder from his senior Shinji Rinrinko, slowly turned around and walked out of the front desk, and then caught up with Izumi who was about to leave.

"Wait a moment."

Izumi, who had already walked to the door, stopped when he heard the familiar voice, and Goto Ichiri's body suddenly tensed up and he froze in place when he heard the familiar voice.

'What happened?'

The two of them slowly turned around and saw Shiina Tatsuki walking towards them. After coming in front of them, without waiting for Izumi to ask what was the matter, Shiina Tatsuki bit her lip and bent down.

"Feel sorry."

At this moment, Nagasaki Soyo, who was originally looking at the chat history with Shoko and wondering which school Toyokawa Shoko went to after not continuing her studies at the "Tsuki no Mori Girls' Academy", heard the familiar voice shouting "wait a minute" and raised his head with a slightly surprised expression.

Then she saw a scene that she would find difficult to forget for a long time.

The strong-willed Shiina Riki bowed to a boy... to apologize?

20. Why don’t you want to tell me?

"It's time. Contact me once you've confirmed the next practice time. I have other plans, so I'll be leaving now."

After finishing practicing with the part-time band, Hachiman Kailing put away her bass and walked out of the recording room. Without looking at the expressions and reactions of the part-time band members in the recording studio, she walked to the hall with her slender legs.

"Feel sorry."

A familiar voice floated into her ears, and for a moment Hachiman Kailing thought she had misheard.

Looking in the direction of the voice, I saw a familiar figure bowing and apologizing to another familiar figure.

"Shiina... the guitar boy..."

Hachiman Kailing, who had no idea what was going on, looked at the incredible scene in front of her. Suddenly, she was no longer in a hurry to rush to the next band that needed her. She stood quietly at one side of the hall, pursed her lips slightly, and observed the scene in front of her.

"Feel sorry."

Shiina Tatsuki bent down, feeling deeply unwilling.

She didn't think there was much of a problem with her reaction, but her senior, Shinji Rinrinko, seemed disappointed with her because of her attitude towards the guests.

In order not to disappoint the senior who has always taken care of her at work, Shiina Tatsuki tried to restore her image in the senior's heart under the other party's guidance and preaching. She subconsciously said, "I know, I will apologize to him", and the current situation developed.

Filled with reluctance but having already made a promise, Shiina Tatsuki bowed and apologized to the boy who played the song composed by Deng without permission.

"Isn't this a sincere apology? Why hasn't this guy responded yet?"

She resisted the urge to observe the other person's expression, bit her lip, and waited for the other person's response, but a hint of impatience had already risen in her heart.

Looking at Shiina Tateki bowing to apologize, Izumi, who was ready to leave, did not expect that the other party called him just to apologize. Feeling surprised, Izumi was stunned for a moment.

"Is Shiina Riki such a person?"
