Band heavy girl? Please stay away from me

"What's happened to Xiangzi now?"

Shimizu Rin looked at the sudden message on her phone in confusion. She even thought that the other party's Line account had been stolen.

This is totally inconsistent with Xiangzi's style after he left CRYCHIC. Instead, it sounds like something a soft and sticky Xiaoxiang would say...

The white-haired girl frowned subconsciously.

In addition, thinking about the series of bad things that happened in the Moon Forest a few days ago, Qing Shuilin suddenly realized that something seemed to be wrong.

Soon, Shimizu Rin discovered what was wrong.

"What's wrong with these people lately? Why do they all want to get me out?"

Wakaba Mutsu... Nagasaki Suyo... Toyokawa Shoko...

Three former CRYCHIC bandmates invited me out in a row... This doesn't feel right no matter how you think about it, right?

But given the current strained relationship between the three of them, there shouldn't be a very deep connection between them, right?

With doubts in his mind, Qing Shuilin replied tentatively:

[Is there something urgent you need from me? I've been very busy lately. I remember I should have told you before, right?]

Within half a minute, Xiangzi replied. The speed at which she replied to his message was even comparable to Xiao Gudu, and they were almost the same.

This is completely different from Xiangzi's attitude towards Nagasaki Suyo...

"It won't take up too much of Rin's time, just a few minutes. I want to talk to Rin about something, it's very important to me."

"Very...important?"

Shimizu Rin looked at the message again in confusion, making sure she hadn't read anything wrong.

Shouldn't Xiangzi's priority now be working to earn money to support his family? Why did he get involved again?

But before Rin could figure it out, Toyokawa Shoko's next wave of attack suddenly came.

【please. 】

"Ugh......"

The girl sighed softly.

Upon hearing these humble words, Qing Shuilin inexplicably recalled Xiangzi's crying face on the rainy night a few days ago, and the thought of refusing was instantly extinguished...If he didn't agree, would Xiangzi ever be able to fly again?!

[You decide the location, and I'll decide the time. Is that okay?]

[Okay! I'll contact Rin again when the time comes. Thank you very much!]

After confirming Xiangzi's affirmative reply, Qingshui Lin turned off the phone helplessly and then walked towards the lounge.

There, two girls were waiting for her to return.

The update time should be advanced in the future. I will try it in the next few days.

70. Unable to refuse useless things

In the Starry Performance Hall, on the stage outside, while a veteran band was playing with all their might, a white-haired man was standing alone in a corner backstage, puzzled.

Just now, Shimizu Rin contacted Xiangzi in confusion and they agreed to meet on the weekend.

There was no fixed location or time, and he had no idea what Xiangzi wanted to see him for.

The girl vaguely sensed something was wrong.

Toyokawa Shoko's message did not mention the reason for the meeting at all, nor did it include any specific arrangements. It seemed that her purpose was to ask him out.

After carefully reading it several times, it seems that Xiangzi is deliberately hiding something? Or is it because Xiangzi is nervous that he forgot to mention the content of the meeting?

It couldn't be that Xiangzi just wanted to see herself, right?

In Shimizu Rin's impression, Toyokawa Shoko was quite normal when she was with her.

Lin had previously told Xiangzi how busy she had been recently. If Xiangzi had had a little emotional intelligence, he would not have come to chat with her during this period.

After ruling out most of the unlikely answers she could think of, Qing Shui Lin unexpectedly found that she couldn't figure out the other person's thoughts.

But it won't be something bad after all.

After all, I helped the other person not long ago.

Not only did he help her pay for the special bento at the convenience store.

There was also 11000 yen that was said to be a salary but was actually funded by friends during street performances.

And not long ago, when a rainstorm was raging, the crying Xiangzi hugged me tightly...

So, just considering the friendship caused by these few things, Xiangzi would not turn around and "harm" himself now, right?

But her intuition told her that anything was possible with these eccentric girls in the band, and it would always happen in unexpected ways.

Although Shimizu Rin had doubts about Xiangzi's purpose in her heart, the current situation did not allow her to think too much.

There are still many unfinished business waiting for Rin to resolve.

This weekend, Rin is going out with Xiao Gu Du to discuss the future of their group and find a suitable training room to practice their first original song together.

At this time, the three people's performance had just ended not long ago - the two girls were still waiting for him in the lounge, and he should not leave for too long to avoid worrying them.

Moreover, according to Shimizu Rin's past experience, after the Starry performance, they should hold a celebration banquet, and Ichichi Hoshika will treat everyone to a big meal.

Because every time after Rin finished her performance, Ijichi Hoshige would always take her out to dinner with Hongxia and Liang in the name of a celebration party.

After all the bands’ performances are over today and the Starry Performance Hall closes, Yidizhi Xingge will most likely treat the three little ones to a hearty and nutritious meal outside.

It must be mentioned that Lin performed quite frequently at Starry, so much so that Sister Xingge had already treated the three of them to dinner many times, which was no small sum.

why?

Why does Ijichi Hoshika always hold a celebration party after Rin's performance? And then force the three little ones to come and treat them to a meal?

Is there any hidden reason behind this?

These are actually very simple and easy to understand.

Rather than saying that Ijichi Hoshika treated Rin to a meal because of a wonderful performance, she actually wanted to take care of the girl's difficult financial situation.

In the name of a celebration banquet, Qing Shui Lin didn't have to pay for dinner and could occasionally replenish her weak body with nutrition.

Shimizu Rin has experienced two lives and has relatively rich life experience. She certainly understands the good intentions of Ijichi Hoshige.

But while she was moved, Qing Shui Lin subconsciously wanted to refuse, because the girl's personality destined her to dislike this kind of unusual rescue, especially when she saw through that it was Sister Xingge who was helping her.

It might not feel like anything once in a while, but when it accumulates day after day, the power of persistence is enough to wear away a stone, making Lin suddenly realize that something is wrong.

However, Rin couldn't succeed no matter what, she couldn't refuse Ichichi Hoshige's kindness.

Whenever Shimizu Rin made an excuse to escape, she would be pulled back by everyone in Starry, who would use a tone and eyes that she couldn't refuse to force her to submit.

After all, treating someone to a meal doesn't count as directly giving money to a girl, and this method is very persuasive to the awkward white-haired guitarist Rin Shimizu.

Among them, Yamada Ryo's reaction was the most intense. He tried his best to persuade himself to go to the celebration banquet with them, saying that it would be a waste not to enjoy the feast.

And Qing Shui Lin still didn't understand whether Liang said those embarrassing words because he wanted to eat for free or because he wanted to keep her.

It's most likely the latter, right?

At least Liang is very reliable at certain moments, especially when dealing with Rin's problems, Liang's serious attitude is comparable to her attitude towards playing the bass.

Since Rin knew that this scheduled "friend's meal" was unavoidable, and after she resisted several times without success, she gave up and stopped trying to escape.

Helpless obedience.

but!

While filling his stomach, this behavior made Qing Shui Lin feel distressed.

They treat me with such kindness...how can I refuse them if I face special circumstances in the future?

Or......

The distance between each other's lives is getting closer and closer. Even if you feel that things are not going well and want to withdraw in time, you will probably be reluctant to leave, right?

The emotions accumulated over time will one day burst into brilliant fireworks, but no one knows whether the emotions hidden under these fireworks are good or bad.

And that's what's behind it...

At least at this moment, Qing Shui Lin didn't have so much time to worry about these things.

Hunger took over the girl's mind.

The performance wasn't long, but because of the full concentration, and the fact that Rin was also the guitarist and lead singer, the energy consumed was naturally surprisingly high.

The hungry girl temporarily suppressed her doubts and stopped speculating about the possibilities of the future.

Lin gave up thinking because of her flat stomach. Her eyes gradually became empty and she subconsciously walked towards the lounge.

On the way, Shimizu Rin deliberately glanced at Ijichi Seika and Yutenji Wakami in the audience to observe their conditions.

Both the man and the cat were safe and sound.

Fortunately, Rin doesn't have to go to the trouble of collecting the body of Yutenji Wakamu. After all, this purple-haired big cat who is extremely eager for traffic often makes Rin feel difficult.

It's not only because of the cat's intuition, but also because of its keen observation of some details and Yutenji Wakami's indescribable ability to make things come alive.

But at this moment, Shimizu Rin was very surprised by the harmonious relationship between Yutenji Wakamu and Ijichi Seika.

After all, Xingge doesn't look like someone who would be easy to get along with as a stranger, right?

Although Yidizhi Xingge has a warm heart beneath her cold and arrogant appearance, ordinary strangers dare not approach her in the severe cold, which makes her seem difficult to get along with.

After confirming the condition of the two, Shimizu Rin quickly returned to the lounge. At this time, Hongxia and Liang were still discussing the performance of the three people just now.

Although most of the talking was done by the excited Hongxia, with Liang occasionally responding, one could still vaguely sense her joy from the girl's tone.

At this time, Qing Shui Lin knocked on the door lightly with her index finger, and the crisp sound immediately attracted the attention of the two girls.

"I am back."

"Rin, you're back. You know Ryo and I were just thinking...isn't it rock 'n' roll? Rin, do you think we should give it a try sometime?"

Before Qing Shui Lin returned to her seat to drink a sip of water, Ijichi Hongxia came to her side, and the ahoge on her head vibrated so fast that it left an afterimage.

"Hmm, oh, I see. Very good."

Shimizu Rin responded intermittently, but even her response could not dampen the excitement of the two girls.

A few minutes later.

During the short break while preparing for Hongxia to drink some water, Qingshui Lin suddenly said, "I think we should discuss another matter."

"What's the matter?" Liang asked curiously.

"I think it would be better to distribute the proceeds from this performance according to the equal distribution I mentioned earlier."

After all, money is related to real life and its importance is self-evident.

No matter how great your ideals are, you must have enough money to support them.

Otherwise, this great rock guitarist might have starved to death in her own little nest, dying a meaningless death and living an extremely dark life.

Money has never been Rin's most important goal, but it is the threshold for Rin to move towards her most important goal. She doesn't need too much, but she cannot have none.

"Huh?! Why? I thought the previous distribution was fine - Rin, you take half, and then Liang and I can divide the rest equally." Ijichi Hongxia asked doubtfully, her tone full of confusion.

Earlier, Qing Shui Lin had proposed an equal distribution when the three of them were training, because she believed that such a reasonable distribution would not hurt anyone and would also be fair enough to Hong Xia and the others.

At that time, Ijichi Hongxia did not agree, and Hongxia proposed her distribution method during training, and Liang had no objection to it.

But Qing Shui Lin naturally would not buy it. It was not until Hong Xia invited her sister Xing Ge that Lin had to agree to this distribution method.

Now that the performance has just ended, Lin, who is still unwilling to give up, wants to try again.

"Ryo, what do you think?" Rin turned to look at the silent Yamada Ryo.

Considering that Yamada Ryo is extremely short of money recently and has to live on grass all day, I guess she would support her own way of distribution, right?

Seeing that Lin had shifted his target, Ijichi Hongxia turned her gaze to the silent Liang, her red eyes filled with a girl's expectation.

Facing the gazes of the two people, Yamada Ryo's face remained calm.

She said calmly, "I think Hongxia is right."
