Do you like humans that much, Chihaya Aine?

　"Okay, I'm going home."

　Just like a worker who gets off work on time, Toyokawa Shoko didn't want to waste even a second. She turned around with a stern face and left the office, which made Li Xi very unhappy.

　"What's wrong with this woman? Her personality has changed so much compared to before."

　"Eh? Wasn't Toyokawa Shoko like this before?"

　"Although I don't want to admit it, that girl used to have a silly, sweet, and innocent personality. She was quite polite, even though she was already a young lady."

　"Is Toyokawa Shoko the eldest daughter?"

　"Don't you know? She's the daughter of the Toyokawa Group."

　"I see. Now I know."

　"never mind..."

　Shiina Riki didn't want to waste too much time and emotions on a woman like Toyokawa Shoko. He always felt that his good mood had become extremely bad.

　"Tomorrow happens to be the weekend, I'll call the lights over."

　"Well done, Chihaya Aine!"

　When Li Xi heard Takamatsu Deng's name, his bad mood improved again. It turned out that Deng was really needed at a time like this.

　Hachiman Kailing watched all this without saying a word. She always felt that Li Xi and the girl named Deng had a very good relationship.

　The band practice was over and everyone was supposed to go home, but Chihaya Aine stayed behind. Aine was still very curious.

　"Mefilas, how did you convince Shoko Toyokawa to join my band?"

　"To be precise, it's joining my agency, not your band."

　"Does it make a difference?"

　"Of course there is a difference. She, like you, signed a formal contract with me."

　Regarding Aine's band, although M78 is nominally a band under Tsuburaya Office, it is essentially a non-full-time band formed by Aine for fun.

　Of course, the firm still signed labor contracts with everyone and also provided salary compensation.

　However, the contracts signed by Lixi and others all contain "temporary worker" terms. If either party is dissatisfied, they can leave at any time without incurring any liquidated damages.

　The contract signed by Chihaya Aine was at the level of a selling contract. Of course, the resources and share she received were also at the level of a regular debut idol artist.

　"That's strange. Why would the eldest daughter of the Toyokawa Group be interested in becoming an idol artist?"

　"Forget it, this doesn't seem to be anything particularly strange."

　Next door to the flower girl, there is also the daughter of the Genjumaki Group who wants to bring smiles to everyone. Maybe all the daughters of wealthy families have some strange personalities and hobbies.

　"But Mefilas, you're really dedicated to your work at the firm. I almost forgot you were an alien."

　"Aliens are also human beings. Earthlings enjoy all kinds of entertainment, and this is the same for us."

　"Before Ultraman wakes up, this is my hobby."

　Even before Chihaya Aine and her friends' M78 band debut album was officially released, Mefilas had already prepared its second song.

　"This is the second song your band will practice, 'Take me higher.'"

　"Take me higher?"

　Chihaya Aine took the music sheet from Mefilas and felt that the song was very passionate and exciting.

　Many people may be unfamiliar with the name of this song, but if it is changed to "Miracle Reappears", I'm afraid everyone will understand it immediately.

　"Take me higher" is the Japanese theme song of Ultraman Tiga. Both the Japanese and Chinese versions of "Miracle Again" are divine songs.

　"Did you write this song, Mefilas? I didn't expect you to be such a great composer!"

　"I didn't write it. In countless parallel universes, there are many unique songs on Earth. I just need to borrow some from them."

　"Wow... wouldn't that be mean."

　"It doesn't matter. The copyright holder can't sue us."

　We are not the most powerful legal department of some Disney, so we can just ignore the matter of suing for infringement across time and space.

　Volume 1: 24. Shocking Wisdom

　It's a new day. Today is the weekend and I don't need to go to school in Yugaoka.

　So, Chihaya Aine came to the RING store early and sat down. Shiina Tatsuki, who worked at the RING store, disliked her no matter what.

　"You came here so early to stare blankly, don't you have anything to do?"

　"Today is the weekend, so of course I have nothing to do. I'm not as hardworking as you, Li Xi, who still has to work at RING on weekends."

　"By the way! Lixi, are you short of money?"

　Chihaya Aine was a little curious. When she first met Shiina Riki, she was working part-time at the RING store. Could it be that Riki was short of money?

　"It would be strange if you didn't need money to play in a band, right?"

　Shiina Ritsuki looked at Chihaya Aine strangely. She was not a naive and sweet rich girl like Toyokawa Shoko, so of course she needed money to play in a band.

　The original CRYCHIC band, Toyokawa Shoko, Wakaba Mutsu, and Nagasaki Suyo were all the eldest daughters of Tsuki no Mori, so they definitely would not be short of money.

　As the lead singer, Teru Takamatsu is not a guitarist and does not have any extra expenses for musical instruments.

　But Shiina Riki is a drummer, and renting a RING practice room to practice drums is not cheap, so she has spent a lot of money to play in the band.

　That's why Shiina Tatsuki was so angry about Toyokawa Shoko quitting CRYCHIC without any reason. That woman is really arrogant.

　"is it?"

　Chihaya Aine tilted her head with a cute puzzled expression. Indeed... For a girl like her who was able to study in the UK, her family conditions must be quite good. Her family was willing to buy her a guitar when she was in junior high school, which is evident.

　As expected, people's joys and sorrows are not the same. Shiina Riki only felt that the words of rich people were really harsh.

　"But don't worry, you can get a salary if you join my band. Once the debut album is released, you can get a share of the profits."

　"I really envy your optimistic personality. It's not easy to be in a professional band. There are so many bands debuting every year, but most of them end up failing."

　Shiina Riki is not such an optimistic person. She is too self-conscious about her own abilities and has never dreamed of becoming famous overnight.

　"Let's change the subject."

　Aiyin felt that if she continued to talk, she would lose confidence because of what Riki said, so it would be better to talk about something else.

　"Now that Shoko Toyokawa has joined our band, can you live in peace with her?"

　"Get along peacefully? Not likely. Seeing her face makes me angry."

　"But what if it's the lights that want you to get along?"

　"Tsk~ Chihaya Aine, you, stop using the light as a shield all the time."

　"Lixi...can't you get along with Xiaoxiang in a friendly way?"

　"Light? When did you come?!"

　Shiina Ritsu was horrified. She didn't notice that Takamatsu Deng had come into the RING store. When she thought of Chihaya Aine running here early to stare blankly, Ritsu gave her a fierce look.

　"Chihaya Aine, you made an appointment with Deng and didn't tell me earlier."

　"Hehe~ I wanted to give you a surprise, Lixi."

　"Lixi, your friends are here. Take a day off today and play with them."

　"Wait, Ms. Rinrinko."

　Shiina Riki had no choice but to refuse, and RING's manager Rinrinko pushed her away from the counter. Young people should enjoy their youth.

　"Okay! Lixi, come and play with us."

　"Wait—wait a minute!"

　Chihaya Aine didn't give Shiina Riki any chance to resist and forcibly dragged her out with her. She wanted to run away after getting in the car?

　"Deng and I have an appointment to go to the aquarium to see penguins today. You can come too."

　"Tsk... the relationship between classmates is so good."

　Riki was filled with envy and jealousy, and her words were filled with jealousy. Is the relationship between Deng and Chihaya Aine already so good?

　The three people walked out of the RING team, and all this happened to be seen by Nagasaki Motoyo. Ms. Nagasaki Motoyo did not appear here by coincidence, she came here specifically to find Shiina Riki.

　After watching PPP’s live performance last time, she asked Xiaomu to help contact Xiaoxiang at Tsukinomori Academy, but as usual, there was no result.

　Nagasaki Motoyo, who was unwilling to give up on her former band and wanted to revive CRYCHIC, used her amazing wisdom.

　Didn't Chihaya Aine, the pink-haired classmate of Deng, say she wanted to form a band? Why not just take this opportunity to bring Deng and Riki into the group and join in too?

　As long as the old members of CRYCHIC start activities again and add Xiaomu into the group, Xiangzi will definitely come back.

　As for Miss Chihaya Aine, when the band no longer needs her, just kick her out.

　Nagasaki Suyo's amazing wisdom began to take effect, and she could not help but

　I gave it a thumbs up.

　Now, she happened to see Chihaya Aine, Takamatsu Touma and Shiina Riki teaming up together. After thinking for a few seconds, Su Shi decided to follow them secretly to see what these three people were going to do.

　On the way to the aquarium, Aine and the other two chatted casually.

　"Oh right! Speaking of which, the hottest topic lately is, of course, Ultraman. It's said to be an alien from outer space."

　Chihaya Aine took the initiative to open the topic, and when she heard the topic related to the universe, the usually introverted Deng also opened up.

　"According to official information, the alien who appeared at Tokyo Skytree last time was called Alien Knuckle. After its enlargement, it was 43 meters tall, three meters taller than Ultraman."

　"The monster controlled by the Nakkers is called the Black King. It is 65 meters tall and weighs 60,000 tons."

　"I really want to see the monster with my own eyes..."

　"Deng, you're so talkative, huh?"

　After hearing Takamatsu Deng's long speech, Shiina Riki was stunned. It was the first time she discovered such a side of Deng, and she felt like she had gotten to know Deng all over again.

　"What are they talking about? Monsters? Ultraman?"

　On the subway, Nagasaki Suyo was eavesdropping on the conversation of the trio through the crowd. Although she couldn't hear it clearly, it seemed that they were talking about topics related to Ultraman?

　Indeed, the recent appearance of the giant alien and the monster has completely shattered the worldview of the earthlings, and it is understandable that everyone is talking about this.

　Can't they just talk more about the band? Nagasaki Motoyo was a little unwilling. Her goal was to revive CRYCHIC. If Deng and Li Xi didn't want to form a band, then her plan would have failed from the start.

　"That person seems to be Nagasaki Suyo?"

　On the subway, Ms. Nagasaki Motoyo, who was not very good at stalking, was easily spotted by Chihaya Aine. As soon as she opened her mouth, Deng and Riki both noticed Motoyo's figure.

　"Sushi..."

　"Wait, the light."

　Shiina Riki stopped Takamatsu Teru from calling out Nagasaki Suyo and she spoke up to remind her.

　"Don't tell Nagasaki Suyo about Toyokawa Shoko, even though I don't like Toyokawa Shoko very much."

　"But if Nagasaki Suyo knew that Toyokawa Shoko wanted to form a band with us, this woman would definitely cause trouble for Toyokawa Shoko."

　"But... Li Xi, Su Shi will know about you and Xiao Xiang forming a band again sooner or later."

　"We'll talk about it later. I don't want to be a shield for Toyokawa Shoko."

　If Nagasaki Suyo knew about Toyokawa Shoko now, all the pressure on Nagasaki Suyo would definitely be transferred to Riki. Riki didn't want to take the blame and bear the pressure for a woman like Toyokawa Shoko.

　Volume 1: 25. Nagasaki Suyo was kidnapped

　"Nagasaki Suyo, why are you here?"

　Since Nagasaki Motoyo has been discovered on the subway, Shiina Riki cannot pretend not to see her.

　Anyway, I have already warned Chihaya Aine and Deng in advance not to tell Nagasaki Motoyo about Toyokawa Shoko.

　"Greetings everyone, what a coincidence."

　"I don't think it's a coincidence. You are following us on purpose."

　"I just happened to see the three of you traveling together. I was curious about what you were going to do, so I followed you."

　"We're going to the aquarium to see the penguins. Do you want to come with us, Sushi?"

　Takamatsu Deng is still kind. When facing her former teammates in the CRYCHIC band, she kindly invited Nagasaki Suyo to play together. However, after Ms. Suyo heard the purpose of the three of them, she lost interest.

　"I'll get off at the next stop and won't disturb you three."
