Tokyo Heart Thief's Daily Life

Shiina Riki: "...Why do I feel like you added a lot of terms without my permission?"

"And you said it's for a lifetime. Does that mean you and I are also going to be for a lifetime... Forget it."

Li Xi sighed lightly, stood up seriously, and extended his hand to Luo Zhen.

As expected of a girl who has been working part-time, she is very serious in this attitude.

Luo Zhen then stood up and held her hand.

As expected of a drummer.

Her hands were like those of Ms. An and Ms. Subaru of Luo Zhen's family. They had a bit of muscle in the softness of a girl, and were very elastic and felt very good.

Luo Zhen smiled even more happily: "Then Shiina-san, we are accomplices from now on."

Riki: "Huh? What kind of nonsense is that? Who's going to get into trouble? ...And don't call me [Shiina-san]. I don't like people calling me by my last name, just like Aine."

So they successfully exchanged names, that's great.

It seems that Miss Lixi has some PTSD about her last name. I wonder if there are any celebrities in her family.

In this way, Luo Zhen was able to open up to this cool and serious girl and get to know her a little better.

Since they were talking about Xiangzi and the C Group, Luo Zhen asked:

"Lixi. Are you familiar with Wakaba Mutsu, the guitarist of Band C?"

"If she wants to form a band with you again, would you agree?"

Li Xi: "Mu? That's impossible."

She answered as straightforwardly as ever:

"Mu and Xiangzi are childhood sweethearts, and their relationship is the most familiar among the Crychic members. I don't believe she has no idea why Xiangzi left the group. But she hasn't said anything, which means she doesn't want to say it or can't say it."

"Besides, she was the one who said on the last day, 'I've never felt happy at Crychic.' Maybe she was covering for Xiangzi, but the result is the same. Having said that, is there any point in expecting them to change their minds?"

This is absolutely right, Luo Zhen nodded repeatedly.

Because he often comes into contact with extremely stubborn "lifelong" players like Deng and Aine, as well as Nina and Momoka, Luo Zhen almost forgets what normal people's values ​​are like.

Although Li Xi's words were very straightforward, they felt a little harsh.

But there is nothing wrong with her idea. She makes decisions decisively and decisively, without being emotional.

No matter what Xiangzi and Xiaomu think, or whether they are willing to play in a band together again.

First of all, if they want to mend the relationship, they must at least explain what they said, otherwise there is no point in talking about it.

"What about the last member, your bassist?"

Luo Zhen then asked the person he cared about the most:

"That girl's name is Nagasaki Suyo, right? She goes to school at Tsuki-no-Mori with Komu. What do you think of her, Ms. Riki?"

Li Xi: "Well...she really loves the band, that's true."

Ms. Shiina Tatsuki seemed a little guilty and her momentum suddenly weakened a lot.

She stirred the coffee with the spoon in front of her, watching the surface of the milk coffee swirl and shake.

After some mental preparation, she continued:

"At the beginning, Xiangzi disbanded the troupe without my permission. From then on, Xiao Deng stopped coming."

"I sent Xiao Deng many text messages, but she didn't reply. This made me very sad. I felt that it was impossible for her to go on stage again... Then, I didn't go."

"But even after that, Sushi kept texting me. Every week when it was time for training, she'd say she'd already rented a room and was waiting for us. She kept texting me... right up until the day I graduated from junior high school."

This is really... Luo Zhen wanted to stand up and applaud after hearing it.

It’s scary that Xiangzi and the others didn’t tell us such details.

Although Li Xi couldn't say that he felt guilty, he did feel Nagasaki Suyo's patience and nostalgia:

"After Xiangzi, Xiaodeng, and I stopped going, she and Mu were the only ones left in the training room. But Mu was like that, and she said those things. I don't think she will continue to cooperate with Su Shi for much longer."

"So how should I put it...if there's still someone who wants to revive [Crychic] at the end, it's definitely Suyo."

Therefore, Li Xi concluded:

"I have no problem with Su Shi, and I recognize her instrumental skills. If she's willing to join a new band, I welcome her."

"But the premise is that she doesn't try to bring Xiangzi and Mu into this. Then we're back to square one. Before there's a clear explanation of what happened in the past, I don't intend to pretend to be friends with her as if nothing happened."

Luo Zhen: "...Li Xi, you are such a good woman."

"ha?(???)"

Our great Ms. Tatsuki Shiina raised her eyebrows unceremoniously and gave us a subtly cold look.

Luo Zhen's words were truly sincere, and he had expected Li Xi to have such a satisfying reaction.

This girl is really...

It's so rare to find a female warrior who is straightforward, neat, handsome, and well-reasoned.

Luo Zhen had already thought that if she had a personality mask, she would definitely be a handsome female thief or something like that.

Although she asked Luo Zhen out tonight, she just wanted to warn him about Xiangzi.

But as they chatted, Luo Zhen's favorability towards her was increasing, and he was extremely touched.

Luo Zhen can make a judgment: everyone needs a friend like Shiina Riki.

As long as her sensitive spot is not touched, this girl's perspective on people and things can be described as ideal, and she can be used as a mirror to learn from others.

As a response to her judgment, Luo Zhen happily replied:

"Then I'll go ask her later. To be honest, I've already met Miss Nagasaki Motoyo."

"She lives upstairs from my brother. I ran into her last time when I stayed over at his house. I'll see if I can run into her again next time. If I do, I'll ask for her contact information."

Li Xi: "Wow, so ambitious... I'm fine with you, but it's also good to have one less bassist."

After all, although there are many girls playing in bands, it is still difficult to find a teammate who is both skilled and motivated.

Li Xi then complained, "But it turns out that someone like you would also stay over at a same-sex friend's house. Were you kicked out by your parents or girlfriend? Just like in a TV show."

Luo Zhen: "Ah, that's not it. Although we are brothers, it would be more accurate to say that our relationship is more like that of friends. Last time, she and another close friend dragged me out for a sleepover, changing into over a dozen outfits in one night... Miss Lixi? Miss Lixi, why are you spitting again? Drink your coffee slowly."

This time Li Xi couldn't escape after all, and his face turned red as he choked and collapsed.

Afterwards, Ms. Lixi glared at Luo Zhen with tears in her eyes and left without saying a word.

Luo Zhen found it very strange.

It's not like I'm going to eat her suddenly or pack her up and take her home overnight.

It was obviously because she was very honest, so I was honest with her in return.

Communication between people is indeed very difficult...Mr. Luo Zhen lamented.

"Ah. I forgot to ask her why she was so obsessed with Xiao Deng."

According to what Luo Zhen saw today, the reason why Li Xi agreed to the request of "a lifetime" was entirely for Deng himself.

She didn't care who the rest of the band was, as long as she could be with Xiao Deng.

And what she pursues is the [Lamp that can sing], and her goal is to be on stage with her again.

This clear obsession was quite interesting, and made Luo Zhen want to continue to delve deeper into her heart.

This is probably an occupational disease that comes with being a thief for a long time. Luo Zhen is quite happy about it.

201. Opening a shop and the stars (4k5)

After finishing the accomplice contract conversation with Ms. Lixi, Luo Zhen went directly to [Stars].

This was just in time for preparations before the door was opened, and the voice that welcomed him was particularly lovely.

Kita-chan: "Good evening, scumbag-senpai~?"

Xi Duoduo, still wearing the maid outfit designated by Sister Xingge, smiled so brightly that it cleansed the dark part of Luo Zhen's mind.

Luo Zhen felt that if this girl awakened her personality mask, she would definitely be a T0 level support.

The kind that can buff the entire team with double damage every round will become an iron crutches.

Luo Zhen followed up with a greeting, "Good evening Kita-chan, you're getting used to wearing a maid outfit now."

"I brought some finger puffs that [RiNG] bought. You and Pochi can share them."

"——Wow~(≧▽≦)/~! Scumbag-senpai is so kind, thank you~!"

Kita-chan's emotional expression was very positive, and her bright smile and gratitude were heartwarming. She is such a good girl.

This made Luo Zhen sigh: If Kita often comes to the light music club activities in the future and meets Chihaya Aine, I wonder if the chemical reaction will explode.

"Ah...thank you, thank you, senior..."

Pochi, who was huddled behind the counter, also took the snacks handed to him by Luo Zhen and tried hard to smile.

Now, several people from [End Band] and [New Kawasaki] have been performing regularly here, and it has become a gathering place for the girls from Luo Zhen's band.

[Shin Kawasaki] The trio are performers who perform on stage, and occasionally work as employees on their days off.

[Ending Band] finally had the foundation to start training after Kita-chan joined, and is currently actively preparing.

After presenting tributes to Hongxia and Aliang in the lounge, they happily accepted them.

For a small LiveHouse like [Variety Show], apart from the key talent, the PA sister, there are actually too many workers doing odd jobs.

So as long as there is someone guarding the counter, the others are responsible for small tasks such as cleaning and organizing utensils, and they are usually very idle.

This is also the interest of the boss Xingge. She just likes to let cute JK work in her store.

So while eating snacks and chatting, Luo Zhen said:

"Hongxia, I want to talk to Sister Xingge about that matter. We talked about it last time."

"—Ah, really? Luo Zhenjun, have you decided yet?"

The lively little blonde drummer girl's eyes were shining and the triangular adobo hair on her head was spinning.

Aliang looked back and forth at the two of them, holding a puff in his mouth and shaking his legs:

"What are you talking about? ...an affair?"

Hong Xia: "Who stole it? (? ? ??) Don't say things like that. What if Nina-chan and the others hear it?"

As a rare serious and good girl, Hongxia immediately pounced on Aliang as soon as she heard her despicable remarks and stuffed the puff in her mouth back into her throat!

Luo Zhen looked at Aliang rolling his eyes and suffocating, and couldn't help but nod with relief.

Different from the super rebellious [Shinkawasaki] of the Luo Zhen family and the [Issue Aine (?)] whose relationships among members are still very delicate.

Hong Xia and her friends' [Ending Band] have just found a lead singer and the band hasn't even started yet.

But the harmonious relationship between the members and the sunny and relaxed attitude that is in line with JK girls are probably what best fits the definition of girl rock.

This made Luo Zhen very happy, and he regarded [End Band] as his spiritual oasis.

That was after suppressing Aliang who was talking nonsense and was about to cause a murder among the band members.

Hong Xia still blocked A Liang's mouth and said to Luo Zhen happily:

"Luo Zhenjun, then go find my sister! I'll ask Aliang to keep it a secret, and don't tell Pochi and the others."

"Well, leave it to me."

Luo Zhen gave a thumbs up and walked out of the lounge with the agreement with Hong Xia.

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

After paying tribute to the great Miss PA and the boss Sister Xingge.

Luo Zhen stayed between the two adults and started chatting:

"How's Sister Xingge? Your sister's band is getting on track now. Kita-chan is a good kid. Once they're ready to perform on stage, [Various Stars] will have another pillar, right?"

"Huh? Let's talk about that after they can get on."
