Service Club? Just like you guys, you want to step into the whirlpool of the band?

"Although I'd like to be lazy, Asaba, you don't know much about the structure of some of RiNG's facilities, right?"

Hearing this, Shinji Rinrinko felt both relieved and sad. She felt relieved because Asaba Ichinose wanted to help her, but she felt sad because... Asaba Ichinose didn't understand RiNG's facilities at all.

Otherwise, she could really be lazy and go back to the second floor to rest.

"How about you tell me about it, Rinrinzi?"

Asaba Ichinose feels that his learning ability is still very strong.

Even if you give him a blueprint now, he can guarantee to memorize it within 10 minutes.

"Forget it..." Talking would be a waste of time, and this wasn't the only job she needed help with, so after comprehensive consideration, Shinji Rinrinko shook her head and decided to hand over the work on the second floor. "How about Qianyu, you go up there and keep an eye on it for me? I'm worried that Li Xi can't handle it all by herself."

That way, she wouldn't have to rush back upstairs.

"If Qian Yu goes up, then I don't have to worry at all."

As she said this, she patted Ichinose Asaba's shoulder.

"Lixi?"

Riki? Which Riki? Riki Shiina?

When Ichinose Asaba heard the name, he frowned unconsciously, and a drummer appeared in his mind.

Tsk... Whether it's an accident or not, did he go out today without checking the almanac? Why is it Haruki Ying in the morning and Li Xi in the afternoon?

Why is it that every day it's all about crychic things and emotions?

"Well, she's working part-time just like you, Asaba. Um... she's a very capable girl! Very motivated."

Shinji Rinrinko didn't take Asaba Ichinose's reaction seriously. She simply thought that Asaba Ichinose didn't know Tatsuki Shiina, so she was a little confused.

That's why she made a unilateral introduction.

"What about personality?"

He didn't know whether Shiina Riki could do it, but he was definitely motivated, especially during practice, he acted like he worked harder than anyone else.

So in order to further confirm whether the Riki mentioned by Shinji Rinrinko was the one he knew, he had to confirm it again.

If he had a stern face every day like he does now, then that would be 100%.

Ah... maybe he should have just asked for the last name, that would have been faster.

But now that he had said it, he might as well forget it. Maybe he was just overthinking it.

"Pfft, hahaha." Hearing this, Shinji Rinrinko laughed, "Asaba, are you worried that you won't get along with Riki?"

"No"

Asaba Ichinose subconsciously wanted to refute, but Rinrinko Shinji didn't give him a chance to explain.

"It's okay, Li Xi is a high school student like you, you will definitely have a lot of common topics, and..."

Just when Shinji Rinrinko was about to talk about Shiina Riki's personality, a voice in the practice room suddenly attracted her attention.

"Miss, there's a small problem here, I think you might need to come over and take a look."

"Okay, I'll be there right now!" Shinji Rinrinko turned around and called out, then smiled at Ichinose Asaba and deliberately teased, "Anyway, I'll go up after I finish here. Until then, I'll leave it to you, the deputy manager!"

After saying that, she walked towards the practice room without looking back.

"Rinrin...ko"

Only Ichinose Asaba was left standing there in a daze.

Ming Yi Lin together 4 things to investigate Si Ba Ming he had not yet finished asking the question.

Helplessly, Ichinose Asaba could only put down his hand that was suspended in the air, and looked at the position on the second floor with complicated eyes.

It should be... just a name, right? After all, Shiina Riki isn't the only one in Neon called Riki.

There is no such coincidence in this world. Anyway... just go up and take a look and you will know.

With a hint of hesitation, Ichinose Asaba slowly walked towards the elevator next to him.

While the elevator was heading to the second floor, Ichinose Asaba could clearly feel his heartbeat accelerating.

Is this excitement? No...at least not the kind of excitement he felt when he saw Junda Mana and Sankaku Hatsuka.

It wasn't the kind of excitement I felt when I accidentally ran into Kaname Rakuna at Sobu High School, and then met Shinji Rinrinko at RiNG.

Ichinose Asaba thought for a long time where this excitement came from, and finally, he figured it out.

Perhaps the reason why he felt excited was because he had a question in his mind for the past year.

That was the night the band broke up. Why couldn't he contact anyone? Why couldn't he see anyone after returning to the practice room?

Even if you think that the band no longer exists after Toyokawa Shoko did those things and said those words, you wouldn't just walk away without saying a word and play "Resurrection, Let's Run Away?"

This problem has been bothering him since the day the band disbanded, but because he has been avoiding it and there is no one around him who knows the truth and can tell it to, he has kept it buried in his heart.

But now it's different, because he might soon meet his former band's drummer, Shiina Tatsuki, and ask her in person what happened that night a year ago.

Therefore, Ichinose Asaba felt that the excitement in his heart came from this incident. After all, apart from this, he really couldn't think of any other reason that could make him feel excited after meeting other people from crychic.

Of course, except for Shoko Toyokawa.

Before we knew it, the elevator had arrived at the second floor.

Ichinose Asaba took a step forward and looked inside the cafe without hesitation.

But...through the transparent glass door, he did not see any familiar figure at the bar.

Could he be fiddling with the shelves under the bar? If so, it's possible, considering the bar in the cafe is quite high.

""

Anyway, no matter what, Ichinose Asaba decided to go in and take a look, so he decisively pushed open the door and walked inside.

Jingle Bell

There was the crisp sound of wind chimes overhead, but no welcome words came from the counter.

Could it be that he guessed wrong?

With this question in mind, Ichinose Asaba walked to the seat opposite the bar with ease and sat down.

The bar... No, it's the stocking area behind the bar. The door was half-open and there were noises coming from inside.

Like grinding something.

Asaba Ichinose, who was sitting here, heard it clearly and confirmed that the person he was looking for was inside.

However, he was still unsure whether the other person was Shiina Riki, so he simply picked up the menu next to him and said in a neither loud nor soft voice, "A cup of hot Earl Grey tea."

For the time being, this is the drink he has always liked.

Next, he just had to wait for the other party to reply, or to come out of the preparation room. All he had to do was wait, even if he had his back to the bar at the moment.

Meanwhile, prepare the goods indoors.

The coffee powder at the bar was gone, so Shiina Riki took advantage of the time when there were no new customers in the cafe to quickly put the coffee beans into the grinder for grinding. She was responsible for both the inside and outside areas at the same time, and she was still not used to this rhythm.

PS: I want to ask, why can some girls resist approaching me? For example, today at school, I was wearing the Yuqiu student uniform, short socks with black leather shoes, and I even put some shower gel on my wrists and neck. With my smooth pink hair, I can't help but get a second look wherever I go, right? After all, I exude the aura of a pure campus heroine. But there's a girl in my class with short hair who likes to pick up rocks. She didn't look at me the whole time, nor did she actively talk to me. She wasn't playing with her phone or sleeping, just staring at the pile of rocks in front of her. I was confused. Are those rocks as pretty as me? Is she pretending to look ahead, then secretly glancing at me when I'm not paying attention? I think she must be resisting it. She's not sleeping or playing with her phone, so she must be thinking about me. How can she possibly catch my attention?

Chapter 94: Encounter/Two people who broke out one after another. (4600)

A cup of hot Earl Grey tea.

Shiina Tateki, who was grinding coffee powder in the preparation room, vaguely heard the voice of Ichinose Asaba ordering.

However, because the noise made by the grinder was too loud, she did not hear clearly that it was Asaba Ichinose's voice, and instead mistook him for an ordinary customer.

"A cup of hot Earl Grey tea."

In order to let the other party know that there were other people in the store, Tatsuki Shiina habitually repeated the items the customer wanted to order.

Then she adjusted the grinder to automatic mode, set the corresponding time and began to prepare the brewing of black tea.

Because she is already quite proficient in making hot Earl Grey tea, she can still make it in the stock room without worrying about problems arising from being distracted.

The reason is the hot Earl Grey tea. She makes a few cups of it almost every week for Nagasaki Suyo who comes here. Especially recently, the other party comes very frequently, and no one knows what she wants to do.

If the person who just placed the order had not been obviously a boy, she would have mistakenly thought that Nagasaki Suyo had come again.

If that was the case, she really had to ask Nagasaki Motoyo what he was trying to do. After all, every time that guy came, he would look at her inexplicably, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't, which was very annoying.

In addition to this incident, she also saw a pink-haired girl following behind Takamatsu Deng last night. The two seemed to have a good relationship and walked into a karaoke bar together.

This made her slightly concerned.

It's a pity that she was still at work at that time, otherwise she would definitely catch up and ask about the situation. After all, she hadn't seen him since Takamatsu Deng woke up from the hospital and returned home that night.

However, although she did not follow them directly last night, she still saw clearly that the uniforms worn by Takamatsu Deng and the pink-haired girl were both summer styles of Yuqiu.

Yuqiu is very close to RiNG, so as long as she works more night shifts, she will run into him one day.

Or if she had chosen to go directly to the high school department of Hanaoka instead of going to Hanasakigawa, she wouldn't have had so much trouble.

""

Thinking of this, Shiina Riki couldn't help but sigh.

Beep...beep

Just as she finished making the hot Earl Grey tea in her hand, the timing system on the grinder made a clear warning sound and then gradually stopped working.

As expected, there were no deviations.

However, Shiina Riki did not take out the coffee powder immediately. Instead, he took a small spoonful of sugar from the jar next to him and placed it on the tray, preparing to deliver the orders from the customers outside first.

So she picked up the tray, turned and walked out the door.

Not back yet?

After pushing open the door, Shiina Riki first subconsciously looked to see if there was Rinrinko Shinji in the cafe, and then after realizing that she had not returned yet, he turned his attention to the seat in front of the bar.

All the other tables had ordered food, but this table was still empty and there were new guests, so it was not difficult to tell that this hot Earl Grey tea was ordered by them.

It’s the same hair color as Nagasaki Suyo... Could it be that people with this hair color like to drink hot Earl Grey tea?

Since Ichinose Asaba had his back to Shiina Tatsuki at the moment, as long as he didn't speak or turned around, Shiina Tatsuki would not be able to tell who he was no matter how hard he looked from behind.

But will Asaba Ichinose really remain silent like this?

No, in fact, he had already made the decision in his heart when Shiina Riki spoke.

"Hot Earl Grey tea is ready."

So when Shiina Riki put down the hot Earl Grey tea on the tray and was about to turn around and leave, Ichinose Asaba reached out and stopped her.

"There's no one in the store right now, why don't you sit down and chat?"

He spoke calmly, without any emotion emerging.

"what?"

When Shiina Riki heard this, she was stunned at first. Was she being hit on by someone?

You are dressed so formally, but your personality is so frivolous?

Subconsciously, Shiina Riki put on an ugly face and tried to slap Ichinose Asaba's hand away with the tray.

"I mean... Shiina Riki..." With a snap, Ichinose Asaba blocked the blow with his palm, then raised his head and looked at Shiina Riki. "Don't you want to sit down and talk?"

"!!!" Shiina Riki was about to take action after being unable to bear it any longer, but when Ichinose Asaba looked up, she was completely stunned, "Asaba?!"

"Why are you here?"

Her face was filled with disbelief and a hint of complexity.

Because she never thought that today, at this moment, she would run into O溜俬VII８鍌陾虾Ichinose Asaba who had disappeared for a year!

I couldn't get in touch with you before, why is it so difficult today?

And it seems that Ichinose Asaba actually knew that she was working at RiNG for a long time?

Otherwise, why would you say such a thing?

"It does not matter."

In comparison, Ichinose Asaba, who had already been struggling with her thoughts, seemed much calmer.

"It's not important... You actually said it's not important?!"

But who would have thought that as soon as he finished speaking, Shiina Riki's tone suddenly became excited.
