Tokyo Heart Thief's Daily Life

"So even though the competition is fierce, forming a band does have a future! In other words, we really do have the potential to be a lifelong band and become idols for the entire nation! Xiao Deng, are you ready?"

“…Huh? Ah…uh…huh???”

Well, it's good, Takamatsu Light is completely overloaded.

Luo Zhen admired the child's confused look.

Like a little squirrel who just buried an acorn and then forgot about it.

After happily watching Xiao Deng's panic for a while, Luo Zhen finally explained:

"Aine means that she's willing to form a band with you for life. Of course, the prerequisite is that the band can be run and everyone has to work hard."

"So, Xiao Deng, now it's your turn to answer. Are you willing to form a band with Aine for life? As a mere high school student, can you afford to support yourself and others?"

"...!!!"

Gao Songdeng's whole body was shocked, as if he had been enlightened.

This girl must not have thought much about it before.

She just wanted a lifelong friend so that she wouldn't have to go through the pain of having and losing someone.

But such a greedy wish cannot be realized without any effort.

She must do her best to maintain this relationship.

"Because if you want to form a band for life, you have to consider commercialization no matter what."

Aine looked at Xiao Deng very seriously.

She was also candid:

"There's also the option of just playing around and treating the band as a hobby. But we'll all grow up and have our own lives soon, right? By then, will everyone really be able to carve out the time to maintain this hobby together? I think it'll be difficult."

"So rather than just a hobby, I'd definitely consider banding my main job, and more likely my whole life. Honestly, I never really thought about forming a band seriously before. I just saw everyone liked girl bands, so I decided to form one for fun, and it became popular and well-received."

But——Aine slammed the table!

"Yesterday, Senior Luo Zhen took me to the LiveHouse to see a live performance. Honestly, I was truly blown away! It was like lightning struck my head!"

This is the infectious power of music.

Although Aine herself couldn't explain it clearly.

But she clearly sensed how serious Nina, Momoka, and the others on the stage were.

Let’s not talk about Subaru who just joined in for now.

Rencai and Momoka have already overcome the most difficult hurdle.

They have truly taken off their personality masks and faced each other in the most real and bloody way.

So no matter what setbacks and failures they encounter in the future, they will definitely continue to get up and work hard.

Aine felt the impact of this unwillingness to admit defeat from Nina's voice that was full of information.

Renai is only one year older than her, but she is able to devote herself so firmly to her dream.

This made Aine extremely respectful, and because of this, she began to seriously consider things other than just being popular.

"Even though we're only in high school now, most of the popular girl bands debuted in high school. So it's not too early to start now."

"Besides, right now, there are only Xiao Deng and I. We still need to find all the members, write songs, and train hard! There's so much to do, and we're definitely going to have to put in tons of effort!"

Aiyin took a deep breath and closed the PPT folder she had made.

"I don't think this is an easy road. To be honest, I'm also worried about whether I can stick with it... That's why I need your answer, Xiao Deng."

She turned to Gao Songdeng seriously:

"Xiao Deng, are you ready to form a lifelong band with me? No matter what difficulties you encounter, you must persevere and work hard to maintain the band. It will be difficult, really difficult."

"......I......"

To be honest, Gao Songdeng is still confused.

In fact, her thoughts were far less profound than Aine's.

She proposed "for a lifetime" only out of the simplest desire to make friends.

To be honest, for her, the band is just a vehicle.

Even if Aine didn't want to form a band with her, but just wanted to play with her in some other way and be friends for life, Takamatsu Deng would be satisfied.

…But, they have already chosen music.

Aiyin, a good girl who is a little vain but also very serious, hardworking and honest, responded to her wish and is seriously considering the possibility.

This may very well be Takamatsu Touma's only chance in this life, and there will never be another Chihaya Aine.

When the girl was lost in her own thoughts, it was difficult for her to respond.

"Little lamp."

Luo Zhen called her.

He, the witness of the girl's ideal, supported her with his gentle smile:

"Don't be afraid of failing for the hundred and first time. As long as you remain sincere and put in the effort, you will definitely be rewarded. I promise you."

"—!"

Gao Songdeng could hardly control his trembling.

Electricity flashed down her spine and exploded in her brain.

The sound and the figure merge into one, and the long-lasting dream condenses into reality.

…This is her butterfly.

The pure white butterfly, emitting a warm glow like the sun, gently landed in front of her, a humble worm.

He used his wings to keep himself warm and protected himself from being frozen to death by loneliness.

“…I do, I do!”

The tears you collect must exist for the present.

Takamatsu Deng couldn't control his tears, which made Aine beside him panic.

But these were not the tears she had expected, tears to be shed for human sorrow.

These are tears shed in order to feel joy and emotion like humans.

143. The stars are turning into a room (4k5)

In Aine's opinion.

This conversation with Takamatsu Deng was unprecedentedly smooth!

She originally thought that her super cute mascot, Xiao Deng, was so delicate and sensitive.

That's why I have to be tough and let her know that I am serious.

She also considered that it might scare her.

But since we want to form a band for life.

Then in the future, you will definitely experience many such conversations and the truths they say.

You have to be honest!

That's why Aine made sufficient preparations and tried to be as sincere as possible, wanting to convey her feelings to Xiao Deng.

I didn't expect it to go so smoothly...

"Oh~, I was actually ready to play Japanese drama and run away with Xiao Deng! I thought if Xiao Deng suddenly ran away, I could immediately catch up. I even wore running shoes! Look~?"

Aine giggled and stretched out her legs to show her shoes to Luo Zhen and Takamatsu Deng.

It was the latest model from a sports brand this year. The pink and white surface was spotless. It was probably the first time he wore it.

It's obvious that this girl comes from a well-off family.

She is a confident girl who grew up in an environment full of love and successful experiences.

Children who are spoiled like this are usually a little willful.

However, in Aiyin's case, the affluent environment has cultivated her equally tolerant body and mind, and she is truly a good girl who is loved by everyone.

Luo Zhen, who was used to analyzing others, smiled without saying anything, calmly drank his coffee and praised Aine.

Xiao Deng hunched her shoulders timidly, and her eyes were red and swollen from crying just now.

But the curve of her mouth was also very soft, and she was penetrated by Aine's attempt to relax the environment.

"...Luo Zhen, are you coming too?"

Suddenly, the girl asked cautiously.

She glanced at Luo Zhen with a slanting look, just like a timid little animal.

Luo Zhen resisted the urge to reach across the table and touch her head, and shook his head:

"Rather than being in a band myself, I prefer to support them behind the scenes. I can be your manager and introduce you to reliable LiveHouses."

Be happy, Sister Xingge, I’m bringing you business again.

Luo Zhen was thinking about his arrogant 29-year-old beautiful store manager, and he wanted to tease her on purpose to get a reward.

When Xiao Deng heard that Luo Zhen would not form a band with him, his eyebrows drooped noticeably.

This girl really can't control her emotions. Her pitiful and sad look is so heartbreaking.

When Aine saw Xiao Deng was sad again, she became anxious all of a sudden!

This girl is also very protective of her child and has completely treated the cute Takamatsu Deng as her own pet.

She immediately stretched out her healthy legs, which she carefully maintained and applied skin cream on every day, and pressed her running shoes against his knees.

Girls shouldn’t do this kind of thing. What if I bend down to look at your skirt... Luo Zhen’s father complained in his heart.

He remained expressionless.

He just quietly reached out and grabbed Aine's ankle under the table!

“~~~~?!”

This made Aine's whole body tremble, and a small cry of sorrow escaped from the corner of her mouth, and her expression was very interesting.

Immersed in his own world, Takamatsu Deng was completely unaware of the friendly interactions among the people around him.

Luo Zhen held Aine’s ankle tightly with his vise-like grip, his face still full of smiles.

"Deng, I will watch over you for the rest of my life."

"...?"

Deng blinked her big, bright eyes like a succubus and stared at Luo Zhen in a daze.

"Although I won't join the band directly, I will always support you and watch your performances. The joy of life isn't just about being in a band. In your free time, we can always go out and play together."

"No matter if you're bored or interested, that's a friend, right? I'll be your friend forever, I promise."

"...!"

Xiao Deng shuddered again, and the tears that had just stopped were about to burst out again.

Her throat was choked with sobs and she couldn't speak. She just nodded desperately with a (>x<) look on her face, fearing that Luo Zhen would go back on his word.

This made Luo Zhen very pleased.

She probably hasn't recovered her memory yet and doesn't remember anything about their past interactions in the other world.

But for someone as sensitive as Xiao Deng, it will definitely leave a mark in their heart.

She was not wary of this senior whom she "met for the first time" and was willing to listen to him. This was evidence.

In Luo Zhen's presence, although she didn't remember that she and she had made such a promise a long time ago, he still felt a little lonely.

But that's enough.

Luo Zhen, with full fatherly love, felt relieved to see Xiao Deng had a good friend, Ain, who could pull her along.
