Tokyo Heart Thief's Daily Life

It was still very scary when three people joined forces, and Luo Zhen was almost speechless.

Just for the sake of a man's dignity, he still tried to hold it in:

"That girl isn't that kind of person... I think she just wants to ask more about Xiao Deng."

"Don't worry, I know my limits... That girl doesn't look like she has any mental problems, so she shouldn't need me... Slow down, please! Don't get my clothes dirty!"

Living with multiple female brothers is really tiring.

Especially when they want to use you as a toy...Please be aware.

-------------------------------------

So, Luo Zhen returned to [RiNG].

Nighttime is when LiveHouse becomes truly lively, including super luxurious and large-scale commercial facilities like RiNG.

From the entrance to the second-floor cafe, Luo Zhen saw several girl bands.

The ages of these people ranged from those in their twenties to middle school students in their teens, and they all looked like veterans.

Including the guests watching the performance, there are probably hundreds of people in this venue right now... It's really scary.

Li Xi: "...Good evening."

As soon as Luo Zhen went up to the second floor, he saw Shiina Riki who had changed into private clothes.

This girl not only has a stern and mature appearance, but also has an adult style of dressing.

She is obviously just a freshman in high school, but it is completely reasonable for her to say that she is a college student. She is truly a beauty who was gifted by God.

In comparison.

My lead singer is almost 18, but he still has two pigtails like a child.

Moreover, she had strengthened his body several times, which made Luo Zhen even happier when he thought about it.

Luo Zhen hid his complaints in his heart and raised his hand to say hello:

"Good evening, Shiina-san. As you said, I didn't tell Xiao Deng and Aine, and I came here alone."

Hmm... Shiina Riki nodded slightly and expressed his gratitude.

By the way, Li Xi is not alone.

Next to her was a girl dressed in a more punk style, wearing a leather jacket and carrying a super cool ammunition box-shaped instrument case.

In fact, Luo Zhen noticed her as soon as he came up.

This girl is a gift from God with a look that's as good as Li Xi's, and she dresses more like a professional musician.

She also put on stage makeup, which made her delicate and cool face even more eye-catching.

Li Xi also noticed Luo Zhen's gaze, so he introduced:

"This is Hachiman Kairin. My classmate and a freshman in Hanasakigawa's high school."

"Hello, I'm Hachiman."

Ms. Hailing, who is even cooler than Lixi, nodded and greeted Luo Zhen:

"I heard that the scumbag Sea King from Shujin Academy is doing really well in school. You're the one who brings a new schoolgirl home every day since the start of the school year. It's already spread throughout the band community. You're amazing."

Luo Zhen: "...This is really the way I least want to become famous. Who is spreading this?"

Luo Zhen had never expected that his reputation was not only spread within Shujin Academy, but had expanded to the entire circle of young people.

And now it's embarrassing.

Luo Zhen doesn't want to cause any misunderstanding from Shiina Riki because of his reputation.

But fortunately, this was not the development he had imagined.

Ms. Lixi's expression was calm, and she did not despise Luo Zhen because of his reputation:

"Don't get me wrong, Hai Ling just happened to have a performance tonight, and we chatted for a while. She's in over 30 bands at the same time, and she's a very experienced bass mercenary."

Hai Ling: "Don't praise me so much. There are only about 10 bands still active right now. ...My time is up, so I'm leaving now."

The super cool Bess mercenary waved goodbye to the two men and left with the ammunition box.

This is so cool... Luo Zhen even wanted to call her "Sister Hai Ling".

Now, let alone the small fry like Renai, Luo Zhen even felt that she and Momoka would get along very well, as they looked like they were of the same age.

But let’s put the gossip aside and talk about it later when we get to know each other better.

Li Xi gestured to Luo Zhen to go into the coffee shop and sit down first, this time as a complete guest.

Under Luo Zhen's inquiring gaze, Li Xi first sighed.

Then, she looked at Luo Zhen with complicated eyes:

“Thank you for letting Xiao Deng get back in touch with music forever.”

"Chihaya Aine told me that it was you who persuaded Deng to accept her invitation and made her willing to actively contact outsiders, right? I heard that you are an old acquaintance of Deng, but I never heard her mention you before when we were at Crychic... Although we never talked about personal matters."

The speed at which girls exchange information with each other is really fast, which is a bit funny for Luo Zhen.

He shook his head frankly:

"It's nothing special. I only met Deng once over half a year ago. We knew each other even later than your band disbanded, so we're not really old acquaintances."

"But Shiina-san, you probably don't just want to ask about my relationship with Xiao Deng, right?"

Li Xi: "To be precise, this is indeed the question I want to ask the most. What is your relationship with Xiao Deng? How far has it developed? Has it ever made Xiao Deng cry? Does Xiao Deng know about your chaotic private life?"

Wow, the old lady is here!

But fortunately, there is no need to wait for Luo Zhen to answer.

Li Xi breathed a sigh of relief and switched his attack:

"We'll talk about Xiao Deng later. At least she's happy now, and I don't want to ruin her mood... Crychic's failure won't happen again."

"That's why I want to find out. ...What's your relationship with Toyokawa Shoko? Are you on her side, or Xiao Deng's side?"

Wow...that's what happened.

Luo Zhen nodded happily, realizing that this girl really wanted the "Lifetime Love Music Band" to continue to exist.

200. Accomplice Shiina Riki (4k)

"Aine told me everything. Toyokawa Shoko is in your school, and she even joined your light music club, right? You even came with her after school today, and she kept clinging to you... She said something like 'like a lover'."

Ms. Shiina Riki narrowed her eyes, making no effort to hide her disgust.

Aine said she was a big mouth and she was indeed a big mouth...but Luo Zhen didn't stop her from speaking, so she wasn't wrong.

But where do I begin to explain this?

Luo Zhen thought for a moment and looked at Shiina Riki coolly while drinking his coffee.

After her cold and venomous little mouth drank it, Luo Zhen spoke:

"Shiina-san, you've already started calling me [Aine]. It seems like you two are getting along well, and that makes me feel relieved."

“Puff—(? ? ?)!”

The beautiful girl with long black hair almost couldn't hold it in and squirted out a few drops of liquid.

Fortunately, she reacted quickly and covered her mouth, then quickly took a few tissues to wipe her face and the table.

Seeing Luo Zhen looking at him with a smile, Shiina Riki glared at him even more fiercely:

"You are such a person... you deliberately say such things, what on earth do you want to do?!"

Luo Zhen answered very frankly: "It's nothing. I'm really happy that you two can have a good relationship."

"Just like you and Aine, I just happened to meet Xiangzi due to some opportunities, and then we became friends."

Luo Zhen counted on his fingers like a treasure:

"Even though she has a strong sense of self-esteem, is a bit stubborn, and has a lot of bad habits. Sometimes she gets inexplicably depressed, and she keeps things to herself and refuses to talk about them. Sometimes she's a bit childish...but she's still a great girl. So I also want to help her get along well with her friends, that's all."

Shiina Riki: "...You say that as if you were chasing her."

The working girl with long black hair wiped her mouth and complained indifferently.

Luo Zhen didn't deny it deliberately.

After all, even if he said now that he didn't have that kind of feeling towards Xiangzi, no one would believe him.

Among all the members of [Crychic], Tatsuki Shiina is probably the one who is the most "indifferent" to Shoko Toyokawa.

After confirming that her clothes were not soiled, Ms. Lixi got straight to the point:

"Honestly, I don't care what Xiangzi thinks, or what you think of her. But since you're so close to her, you must know the whole story of [Crychic], right?"

Luo Zhen: "Probably. I think it should be similar to what you know. Xiao Deng also told me."

That's enough, Li Xi nodded again:

"Xiangzi suddenly stopped coming to training and rarely contacted me. Finally, she abruptly withdrew and used the inexplicable excuse of 'lack of training' to blame Deng. I don't care if that girl has some hidden secrets or problems, but at least she didn't say anything."

"So, I won't worry about her. Xiaodeng goes to the same school as her. If she can forgive Xiangzi, then I don't mind... But if you want Xiangzi to join the band again, then I'm absolutely against it."

This is also easy to understand.

Shiina Riki's speech was much more logical and reasonable than Luo Zhen had expected.

It is true that Xiangzi's forced withdrawal from the group directly triggered the explosion of Group C, and no explanation was given.

Luo Zhen could guess that this was related to Xiangzi's family, and it was also the reason why she, a young lady, had to work hard outside.

But other people shouldn't be able to forgive her for such things without her permission. The two cannot be equated.

Shiina Riki must have guessed many reasons, but of course it is impossible for him to unilaterally forgive Xiangzi, the real "culprit".

Luo Zhen nodded at this: "Indeed, with the experience of Group C, I also understand that you can't accept being in a band with Xiangzi again."

"But believe me, Deng and Aine have no such plans. Xiangzi really doesn't want to start a band again... She and Deng are keeping their distance for now. They are both safe and sound and don't interfere with each other."

Luo Zhen thought about it and decided not to say something like "Xiangzi has repented" which was like an excuse.

In fact, although Xiangzi admitted his mistake, he regretted that he had made the situation so awkward when he left Group C.

But she still refused to tell the reason and insisted on not explaining.

For a good kid like Xiaodeng, perhaps this is enough and there is no need for Xiangzi to do anything more.

But this is not the case for "normal people" like Shiina Riki who use logic.

A mirror that has been smashed once cannot be put back together and treated as intact.

Li Xi nodded: "That's good. As long as you can ensure that Xiangzi doesn't get involved in the new band, I can turn a blind eye to her existence."

"But since you and Xiangzi are close, I'd better make it clear in advance. If she bullies Xiaodeng again at school, or makes Xiaodeng unwilling to sing again, then I will really rush to your school. All of this is based on the premise that Xiaodeng is willing to participate in band activities well. Is that okay?"

Luo Zhen: "Very good. We are on the same side. The most important thing is that the band formed by these beautiful girls can develop smoothly."

Humph... Ms. Shiina Riki turned her head away coolly and did not comment on Luo Zhen's teasing.

Luo Zhen specifically mentioned "Beautiful Girl Band", of course, just to frame the beautiful girl Tatsuki Shiina.

If Aine heard this, she would definitely show off with a sly smile and even tease him in return.

It’s a pity that Ms. Lixi lacks this talent for jokes and is not suitable to be a comedian.

"Then let's just say our deal is sealed."

Luo Zhen continued:

"Lixi, please tolerate Xiangzi's existence. I will also mediate and ensure Xiaodeng's mood so that your band can develop smoothly in the future."

"In exchange, you must also try your best to cooperate with me as your manager in anything that helps your band. We are comrades working together to fulfill Xiao Deng's wish of [a lifetime]. Is that okay?"
