Substitute Toyokawa Shoko, you can become stronger by breathing

She might even have some more outrageous and immersive fantasies.

Once this idea comes into being, it can no longer be suppressed.

This irrepressible desire had nowhere to vent, and eventually became the culprit that made her distracted all day long.

She was almost driven crazy by the lewd crap in her head.

After another disastrous rehearsal, Chihaya Aine almost fled from RiNG.

Instead of going to the fast food restaurant with Deng and the others as usual, she walked home alone, feeling lost.

She felt like she was about to explode.

The images in my brain became clearer and more specific, and even began to have sounds and touch.

She felt like a balloon that was being blown bigger and bigger, filled with a mixture of shame, excitement, guilt and curiosity, and it could explode into pieces with a "bang" at any time.

When she got home, she threw herself heavily on the bed, covered her head with a pillow, and let out a meaningless, bestial howl.

"Ah ah ah ah ah--!"

This can't go on, she thought. If she continued like this, she wouldn't even be able to be a normal member of the band, let alone a leader.

MyGO had finally gotten back on track, and she couldn't let the band's atmosphere become weird again because of her own reasons.

She had to find an outlet, an outlet that could get rid of the toxic waste in her mind.

She grabbed her phone in frustration and scrolled aimlessly through social media, trying to clear her mind with the massive amount of information garbage.

She clicked on the homepage of an artist she followed and browsed through the exquisite fan art. Suddenly, her finger paused, stopping at a link below a fan art.

It was a link to a famous fan creation website, and clicking on it would lead to a fan fiction.

She clicked in for some unknown reason.

It was a very well-written article. The author used delicate words to depict the complex and tense emotional entanglement between the two characters.

Chihaya Aine read with great gusto, temporarily forgetting her own troubles. When she saw the comments section where readers were enthusiastically discussing the plot and praising the author's writing style, a thought suddenly struck her like a thunderbolt.

Write it down...

What if... I write down what's in my mind?

At first, she was shocked by her own idea.

"No, no! That's too perverted! How can I write something like...that about Soyorin!"

However, that idea was full of fatal temptation.

"I'm just writing it down, no one will know... Just think of it as writing a diary... Yes, just venting my emotions..." She convinced herself.

Inner desires and moral bottom lines clashed fiercely. In the end, on the verge of madness, desires won an overwhelming victory.

She seemed to have made up her mind, sat up suddenly from the bed and rushed to the computer.

Write it down.

Write down all the weird thoughts in your mind that make her excited and embarrassed!

She turned on the computer, and the only light left in the room was the dim glow of the screen.

She took a deep breath and put on her headphones, blocking out all the sounds from the outside world.

She then creates a new document.

In the dim light, the girl's face showed a smile that was completely different from her usual energetic look, with a twisted and joyful look.

Her nimble fingers, which she usually used to press the guitar strings, were now dancing swiftly on the mechanical keyboard, making a series of crisp and rapid "click" sounds, as if she was playing a passionate and crazy waltz.

She gave herself a pseudonym - [AN].

Then she began her own, secret creation.

[In the dim room, the smell of alcohol and aromatherapy mixed together to form a decadent sweet fragrance.

Su Youli collapsed powerlessly on the velvet sofa. Her eyes, which usually showed a hint of alienation and stubbornness, were now covered with a layer of mist due to the effect of the drug, and she looked at the ceiling in a daze.

A blue figure, like a hunting demon, slowly approached.

"Su Youli, you are so cute now."]

“Hehehe…Hehehehe…”

Chihaya Aine let out a meaningless, suppressed laugh as she wrote.

After typing the last punctuation mark heavily, she breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling that all the negative emotions and desires that had been pent up in her body had been perfectly sublimated at this moment, and all converged into this piece of text in front of her.

She wiped the non-existent sweat from her forehead and felt refreshed.

So... this is the right way to relieve stress?!

No, no!

What am I doing?

Ah ah ah ah ah ah!

........

Although the girl's actions were a bit...abstract.

But there is no doubt that the method of venting the emotions that have been entangled in you is still very effective.

At least for Miss Nagasaki Suyo.

A miracle happened.

Or rather, for Nagasaki Suyo, who had been worried for several days, this was simply a miracle.

Chihaya Aine, the pink-haired guitarist who was like a frightened bird a few days ago, subconsciously avoiding her and evading her gaze when he saw her, with the words "Don't come over, I have something on my mind" written all over his body, suddenly returned to normal.

In today's rehearsal, she turned back into the familiar Chihaya Aine who would giggle "Hehehe" because of a small mistake, would shout with full energy "Deng, let's sing this next song!", and would come to her side during breaks and chatter about the cute hairpins she had recently discovered.

Sunny, cheerful, and even a little annoying.

But this is exactly what Nagasaki Suyo wants to see most.

But the more this happened, the more she dared not relax the tight string in her heart.

Could this be the calm before the storm?

Is Aine using this method to numb herself, and then preparing to give herself a fatal blow at some point?

No, we can't go on like this.

Nagasaki Suyo made up her mind.

She wants to take the initiative and uncover the mystery herself, even if the result is the one she least wants to see.

After the rehearsal, everyone packed up their instruments and prepared to leave RiNG.

Nagasaki Suyo took a deep breath, like a prisoner about to be executed, and mustered up the courage to call out to Aine who was about to leave with Deng.

"Aine, wait a moment, I have something to tell you."

Chihaya Aine turned around, with her usual bright, almost silly smile on her face:

"Hmm? What's up, Soyorin?"

Looking at this smiling face, Nagasaki Suyo's prepared speeches suddenly got stuck.

She had already prepared for the worst. If Aine really discovered the secret between her and Kujo Renji, she would immediately, immediately, and without hesitation bow her head, apologize to her with the most sincere attitude, beg for her forgiveness, and tell her that everything was not what she thought.

She cleared her throat and began her questioning in a tentative, cautious tone.

“Um…Aine, were you worried about something these past few days?”

She stared closely into Aine's eyes, trying to catch any trace of emotion:

"You seem a bit listless... I'm a bit worried."

coming!

Chihaya Aine's heart skipped a beat.

Soyorin was testing me! She had noticed my unusual behavior the past few days!

However, what instantly appeared in Chihaya Aine's mind at this moment was no longer the label of "Kujo Renji's plaything".

Rather, it was a few articles she published on the ■ website using the nickname "AN", which were based on Nagasaki Suyo.

Beads of sweat from guilt almost slid down his forehead.

Her brain worked at the speed of light and she immediately came up with the best response strategy - play dumb.

"Eh? Is there any?"

Chihaya Aine tilted her head and blinked innocently. Her blank expression made it seem as if she had no idea of ​​her condition over the past few days.

"Is it because the exam is coming up and I'm feeling a bit anxious about studying? Ah! That must be it! After all, I'm determined to become a top person!"

As she spoke, she playfully stuck out her tongue and made a "come on" gesture.

This acting is perfect.

Nagasaki Suyo looked at her flawless appearance and was a little confused for a moment.

Could it be... that I'm really overthinking it?

But she was still worried and decided to explore further.

"Is it really just because of studying?"

She leaned closer and lowered her voice:

"I thought...I said something harsh or did something to upset you...If that's the case, I..."

There was earnestness in her voice, and the words of apology were on the tip of her tongue. If Aine showed even the slightest sign of hesitation, she would immediately confess everything.

Chihaya Aine's heart almost jumped into her throat.

She understood.

She completely understood the subtext of Soyorin's words.

Soyorin thought that he was angry and was showing weakness to her, and was even ready to apologize.

And what about yourself?

I was secretly using the girl as material to write various...novels.

No! I absolutely cannot let Soyorin know! If she finds out, I'll be doomed!

“Eh—?! How could this happen?!”

Chihaya Aine screamed exaggeratedly as if she had heard something out of the blue, and then took the initiative to grab Nagasaki Motoyo's hand.

"How could Soyorin make me unhappy? Soyorin is the best to me! Are you imagining things again? You're the one. Haven't you been getting enough rest lately? You even have dark circles under your eyes!"

Hearing the words "Soyorin is the best to me", Nagasaki Suyo was stunned.

It turns out...was it really just me who was overthinking it?

Was her unusual behavior over the past few days really just due to academic pressure? Was her avoidance of herself just a coincidence?

A huge, indescribable sense of security instantly filled her limbs.

The nerve that had been tense for several days softened and stretched instantly like a marshmallow soaked in warm water.

“Is… is that so?”

Nagasaki Suyo pulled her hand back somewhat unnaturally, her cheeks slightly flushed.

"No, it's nothing. I was just worried. I'm glad you're okay."

"Okay, okay, don't think too much!"

Seeing that the crisis was over, Chihaya Aine secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She shook Su Shi's hand and smiled even brighter:

"Let's go! The lights are waiting impatiently!"

"Um..."

Nagasaki Suyo responded in a low voice and let her pull her forward.

The street lights stretched the shadows of the two people very long.

One of them rejoiced in his heart: "That's great, she doesn't know anything."
