I have pure love with them

"Good night."

"Well, good night."

After reaching the door, before closing it, Aine poked her head towards Izumi who was inside the room.

"By the way, why did you come back so late?"

"I went to visit Mio."

"..."

Chihaya Aine suddenly thought of the conversation she had with Izumi in the morning, and her expression became subtle. She stopped closing the door and stared at Izumi in front of her, as if she wanted to see through him, but Izumi just smiled at her.

"..."

After staring at each other for a while, Aine couldn’t figure out anything and silently closed the door.

"I have to go see Mio when I have time. I have to remind her not to be fooled by Quan!"

Standing in front of the door, Aine muttered to herself, took Izumi's dessert and went back to her room. Izumi, who was in her room, stood up from her chair after seeing Aine leave the room, stretched her body a little, then quietly walked to her schoolbag and took out the sketch paper from it.

Spreading it flat on the desk, he found a suitable angle, took out his mobile phone, and took the picture.

click-

I opened Line and entered the chat page with Nagasaki Soyo. I entered the content first and then sent Toyokawa Shoko's signature.

"Finish!"

After sending all of them, Quan exited the conversation interface with Nagasaki Souyo, threw the lock screen on his bed, left his room and went to the bathroom.

hum-

Tonight, Nagasaki Soyo, whose only family member was working overtime, cooked dinner alone and ate alone.

She returned to the room from the bathroom and lay down on the bed early, with nothing to do. In the quiet night, she lay alone on the bed, flipping through every moment that had been recorded on the 'CRYCHIC' account, recalling everyone's reactions at that time from time to time. Her eyes were dull and she scrolled through the pages mechanically.

'If the band hadn't disbanded and everyone was still together, Xiangzi would probably reply to my message at this time... I could send some cute kitten pictures, what would Xiangzi say?'

Maybe we can also see other people’s comments on the band, and we can discuss and improve together, instead of like now…

The temperature has already warmed up, but Nagasaki Shoshi, lying in bed, can only feel the coldness in body and mind.

'How can we return to the past?'

Biting her lip, her consciousness returned to reality. In this silent night, she could only feel loneliness.

Just when she was about to close her eyes and forget everything in reality, the message alert sounded, causing Nagasaki Shoyo to raise her eyelids and look towards the top of the screen.

[I went to ask for help today…]

Before I could read the specific content, another message popped up.

[picture]

All the information came from Chihaya Izumi, the boy who was in contact with Xiangzi.

When he was lonely, Nagasaki Shoyo sometimes couldn't help wondering why he was the one who knew the news about Xiangzi, and why the other party was unwilling to tell him Xiangzi's whereabouts.

Even in the torment of loneliness, she sometimes wondered if he would be willing to tell her Xiangzi's whereabouts if she knelt down and begged him.

Reason told her that she must not do such an inappropriate thing, but she didn't know how long her rationality could last.

"If it's somewhere less crowded, I..."

133. Nagasaki Soyo is a good girl

"How far can I go to revive the band?"

With complicated emotions that she herself was not aware of, Nagasaki Souyo opened Line and looked at the message sent to her by Chihaya Izumi. The moment her eyes looked at the screen, her attention was completely attracted by the picture on the screen.

A lifelike sketch of Xiangzi.

She could feel the artist's hard work and emotion poured into the exquisite sketch, and in a trance, she seemed to see a real Xiangzi smiling at her through the screen.

The longing that had been suppressed surged in her heart again. She stared at the portrait for a long time, her fingertips gently stroking Xiangzi on the screen, suppressing the surging emotions in her heart. When she was about to zoom out the picture to read the text sent by Quan, she noticed that there seemed to be another line on the side of the portrait...

"Toyokawa...Xiang...zi?"

When Nagasaki Shoyo saw the words at first, she didn't feel any psychological fluctuations, but after staring at the words for a long time, she noticed that the handwriting style of this signature was delicate, not like the style of a boy.

'Could it be...'

She exited the picture and looked at the text on it.

[Today I went to ask Ms. Toyokawa for help. I waited for a long time, but I got her autograph. Now I have all the autographs, which is great.]

"..."

Nagasaki Soyo, who was lying on the bed, suddenly sat up and looked at the content on the screen with surprise, his eyes full of surprise and confusion.

'Did Xiangzi sign for him? Why?'

I couldn't help but wonder about their relationship. At the same time, I thought that he had already had contact with Xiangzi, so why didn't he tell me about Xiangzi? Was it related to Xiangzi? Just like Ruoye Mu, he kept it secret from me because of Xiangzi's request...

The fingertips holding the phone turned slightly white, and Nagasaki Souyo stared at the content on the screen, falling into a daze for a long time.

"Why...am I the only one who can't know about you?"

"Aren't we... friends?"

In the dim room, Nagasaki Soushi's soft whisper was heard. Her dazed eyes gradually regained focus. She stared at the content on the screen, pursed her lips, took a deep breath and adjusted her mood.

[Great, congratulations, now you have collected all five people's signatures. That painting depicts Xiangzi very well. Can I take a look at it next time we meet?]

……

[Chihaya-san, what kind of girls do you like?]

Not long after sending a message to Nagasaki Soyo, he received a message from Kita Ikuyo. Although there was no news from her all day, it seemed that she was unable to suppress her feelings at night. Before going to bed, she sent him the following message.

Quan, who was sitting in front of the computer, gently turned the chair left and right. After thinking for a moment, he gave the answer that he had thought of last time.

[Band Girls (female band only)]

Although she hasn't joined a band yet, Goto Ichiri is considered half a band girl. His younger sister Aine is also currently forming her own band. Both of them are related to bands, so he sees nothing wrong with using 'band girl' as an answer.

Furthermore, both of them are in bands consisting only of girls, so there is no problem with the "girl band only" added later.

[Does Chihaya like girls who play in bands?]

[No, it’s just that the girl I like happens to be in a band.]

Refers to Aiyin.

Once his sister Chihaya Aine has formed a band, he can truly stand out and call himself 'i-one'.

'When the time comes, should we build a support website for them?'

Thinking of this, Izumi remembered Chihaya Kisaragi and Haruka Amami whom he had met before. He also had the idea of ​​building a support website for the two of them, but he didn't pay much attention to them afterwards.

[I will do my best!]

The message from Kita Ikuyo popped up, bringing Izumi, who was distracted, back to his senses and looking at the screen in front of him.

"…Come on? Why?"

In theory, the messages he sends out would generally make people think that he has someone he likes, and then they would back off, right?

The reason why Izumi sent it to Kita Ikuyo was to dissuade the other party, but it was obvious that the other party had misunderstood something. Instead, she seemed to be inspired and seemed to be really ready to work hard to achieve the goal of becoming a "band girl".

"If I send her a message like 'You don't need to cheer up' now, will it be considered as comforting her?"

Staring blankly at the screen, Quan found that he still couldn't quite understand teenage girls. He was silent for a moment. He thought that if the other party had this as their goal, there would be nothing wrong in making some effort.

Now that you have entered Xiuhua, you probably don't have much hope for further studies. It would be better to develop in other ways. Who knows, maybe they will have a better future than further studies?

"The famous actress Chiyoko Fujiwara once said, 'Because what I love is myself who is chasing that person.' In the distant future, this may become a beautiful memory of her youth."

[Don't force yourself]

But despite thinking about it, Quan still sent her a message to persuade her.

The moment the content was sent out, Nagasaki Soushi's message was also sent over, which made Quan impatiently click on it, wanting to see what kind of reaction and reply Nagasaki Soushi would have.

"Would you like to see Xiangzi's autograph?"

[Can]

[Tomorrow, is it okay at RiNG?]

Compared to Izumi's impatience, Nagasaki Shoyo seemed even more anxious.

The message had just been sent when he received a reply from Nagasaki Shoyo, which made Quan feel a little too heavy.

"Ah~ Horrible~ Are you in such a hurry?"

Nagasaki Shoyo's obsession with Toyokawa Shoko made Quan feel a little scared.

"She's still very popular in Tsuki no Mori, right? She can still be friends with other people even without Toyokawa Shoko. She can show her true self in front of Toyokawa Shoko, but not in front of other people?"

Quan thought of a Buddhist term that fits her current situation very well - the obstruction of knowledge and views.

“It makes people feel really pitiful.”

Nagasaki Soyo was a good girl, but unfortunately she met Toyokawa Shoko.

[Yes, it is OK]

I had already refused once yesterday, so there was no need to refuse again today. Meeting with Nagasaki Shoyo would be a good opportunity to see in person how she would react after seeing Xiangzi's signature.

“Come to think of it, Aine met Shiina Tatsuki today, so… she should meet Nagasaki tomorrow, right?”

You can wait until Aine meets Nagasaki Soyo, and after they have interacted with each other, you can appear in front of them. I think Nagasaki Soyo will still agree to join Aine's band, and even be more eager to join when he appears, right?

"Aine, too, will probably be more interested in Nagasaki Souyo after learning that Nagasaki was a member of a band I once liked."

134. Don’t think about it, leave it all to me

"Is your knee okay?"

Izumi asked after glancing at Aine's fair and slender legs, his eyes resting on her knees.
