Band heavy girl? Please stay away from me

"But I still have to play Tungsten with Little Lonely... I'll just pick a random song."

Secretly plan your evening.

Shimizu Rin arrived at the door of her house immediately. After a few minutes, she placed the Santa behind her in the bedroom and took out some cash from the small safe.

Just now.

Before going out, Shimizu Rin checked Santa's condition for the last time and she unexpectedly found that the edge of the pick she often used was a little worn.

Although this old pick can still be used, it is estimated that it still needs to be replaced with a new one, otherwise it will inevitably affect the feel of subsequent guitar playing.

For this reason, Shimizu Rin had to bring some extra money with her and go to Ochanomizu along the way to look for a musical instrument store nearby to see if there were any high-quality guitar picks that were suitable for her and very durable.

If there is one, it would be easy, but if it is according to Lin's requirements, it would be difficult to find a satisfactory guitar pick.

If not, Rin will have to wait until the next time she goes to the Starry Showroom and ask Ichichi Hoshige to help her choose a good guitar pick, and the cost of the pick will be directly deducted from the proceeds of future performances.

"Let's go. It should be almost time by the time we get to Asukayama Park. I hope Xiangzi can speak faster. I'm starving." Qingshui Lin walked out of the house helplessly.

Without the heavy guitar case behind her, Shimizu Rin always felt empty inside.

Suddenly, Qing Shui Lin suddenly thought of something. She subconsciously raised her head and looked at the dim sky at sunset.

The sky was cloudless, with no sign of rain at all.

"so far so good......"

Qing Shui Lin breathed a sigh of relief quietly, and confirmed again and again that it would not rain suddenly at night. The girl's anxious heart suddenly relaxed.

Every time it rains, it’s the beginning of something ominous.

Not only is it easy for her clothes and long hair to get wet by the nutrient-rich rain, but she is also likely to run into some sad band girls caught in the rain, which can lead to a series of troubles and disrupt her good mood for the whole day.

After several twists and turns.

Qing Shui Lin seemed not to want to go out in rainy weather, for she was afraid that she would be entangled by unclean things.

As long as it doesn't rain, there is always room for maneuver.

Ten minutes later.

Shimizu Rin arrived at Asukayama Park on time. Seeing that there was no one around, she sat on a bench and waited for a customer service representative to arrive.

Dusk seemed to be coming to an end, and the sky was replaced by a deep darkness.

A lonely half moon hangs high in the sky, casting down its cold moonlight.

"Tap Tap..."

Soon, a burst of hurried running sounds came directly from the entrance of Feiniaoshan Park, scaring away the birds in the woods.

Qing Shui Lin looked towards the source of the sound.

Then a blue-haired girl running towards her appeared in her sight - Toyokawa Shoko.

Xiangzi was still wearing his familiar outfit, but this time the clothes were obviously much cleaner. As time went by, Xiangzi's technique became more and more skillful.

"Fufufu... Sorry, Rin, I'm late."

Soon, Shoko Toyokawa ran to Rin, panting, and apologized to her anxiously.

Today, Xiangzi's new odd job delayed her for a lot of time. Even though she ran all the way here, she still arrived a little later than the agreed time.

Qing Shui Lin shook his head nonchalantly: "It's okay, I just got here not long ago. On the contrary, Xiangzi, what's going on that has you so anxious?"

Lin had never seen Xiang running, but she had recorded a lot of Xiang crying and even had corresponding photos on her phone.

"Because I want to see Rin soon."

Toyokawa Shoko replied confidently.

He looked firmly into Lin's puzzled purple eyes, and combed the slightly messy ends of his blue hair in an orderly manner.

Qing Shui Lin was slightly stunned. After she reacted, she nodded calmly, said nothing, and stared at the eldest lady of the Toyokawa family.

She wanted to hear what Xiangzi had to say.

The connection between the two girls should have been completely severed on the day CRYCHIC disbanded, but they were reconnected due to several unexpected encounters.

Under Rin's gaze, Toyokawa Shoko quickly took out all the banknotes and coins from her pocket, which roughly amounted to about 5,000 yen.

Then, Xiangzi looked at the white-haired girl in front of him nervously:

"Rin, this is the salary I earned in the past few days. This is all I have now... I give it all to you."

"what?"

Qing Shui Lin subconsciously looked at the crumpled banknotes in Xiangzi's hand, and confusion was overflowing on his face.

The girl's movement to retreat immediately stopped and she stood stiffly in place, confusion filling her mind.

After a while, Lin finally reacted.

"Xiangzi, what's wrong with you? Why are you giving me this money?"

Shoko Toyokawa's current financial situation is much tighter than Rin's, otherwise she wouldn't have been unable to afford even a bento before.

At least Lin makes money from performances and the internet, so she can afford the price of picks and strings and doesn't have to worry about the water and electricity bills at home.

But what about Xiangzi?

At this age, Xiangzi could only do odd jobs. The salary he earned from work was not enough to even provide for his own food and clothing after paying the water and electricity bills at home, not to mention that he had an alcoholic father who drank countless bottles of wine every day.

In this situation, Xiangzi actually planned to give her salary to himself?

Shimizu Rin couldn't understand it at all.

And because of Xiangzi's inexplicable remarks, Shimizu Rin once again observed the nervous-looking middle school keyboard player before he stood up.

Toyokawa Shoko's face was obviously much more haggard than a few days ago. It was obvious at a glance that it was because she had been working too hard recently. There was a faint dark circle under her eyes, and a thin layer of calluses appeared on her originally fair and tender hands.

There was even a Band-Aid with a cartoon penguin printed on it wrapped around the index finger of the girl's left hand. Perhaps she had accidentally injured herself while doing odd jobs?

It seems like he suffered a lot...

So why is that?

Why did Xiangzi give himself this important money?

I guess I haven't done anything important, right?

"I want to pay back the 11000 yen I owed you. Although the current amount is far from enough, I will keep working hard!"

Xiangzi held her hard-earned salary in her hands and looked at the surprised Qingshui Lin in front of her with a soft expression. Her throat moved slightly, and Xiangzi wanted to say something else, but no sound came out.

The evening breeze blew across the faces of the two girls, lifting their hair, making them look ethereal and elegant.

The bright street lights illuminated the two of them, illuminating the road they were on. There was no darkness in front of them.

"Didn't I tell you? That's Xiangzi's salary...and Xiangzi can just wait for me to have dinner with you in the future, right?" Qingshui Rin said helplessly.

But...I can't wait any longer.

Toyokawa Shoko took a step forward, but this time, she did not reach out to grab Rin forcibly, but looked directly at Rin's beautiful face with a firm look.

It has a bit of the style of a long-term vegetarian.

The burning gaze made Rin turn his head slightly.

"Different."

Xiangzi shook his head and decisively rejected Lin's statement.

If I had accepted Lin's kindness, why would I have come to see Lin today? Why would I have worked so hard to make money these past few days?

Isn't it just to thank Lin for her help in person and then pay back the money first?

If you want to become true friends with Rin... all of this should be natural, right?

"I don't deserve this money. I understand what Rin means, but I still want to pay it back... Rin, just treat it as a request between friends, right?"

"Thank you for your help, so please accept this money, Rin?"

The humble tone was totally unlike the Toyokawa Shoko that Shimizu Rin knew.

Didn't they say Xiangzi had turned evil? Was he ready to completely kill his soft and gentle self?

But what's going on with his current appearance? Has he not completely turned evil? Or has the soft and sweet Xiangzi been resurrected?

"We can be friends, but I don't want the money."

Shimizu Rin rejected Xiangzi's request again.

Since I had chosen to give the money to Xiangzi, there was no reason for me to take it back! What Xiangzi did with the money was her business and had nothing to do with me.

What's more, Shimizu Rin simply chose to lend a helping hand because she couldn't bear to see the girl's plight. She didn't think there was anything to be thankful for.

But Toyokawa Shoko obviously didn't think so. She looked anxiously at Shimizu Rin who looked indifferent.

"But...how can we just...?"

"Why should I bother? It's true that I gave the money to Xiangzi, and I don't need the 11000 yen. Besides, don't you need it more than Xiangzi?"

This is a lie.

After all, the amount is exactly 11000 yen, which is not a small amount for Rin who lives alone.

Although this money cannot improve Lin's living conditions, it is enough for her to improve her meals and replenish her body's nutrition.

But no matter how bad Lin's diet is, it is still much better than Liang who eats grass every day.

As for the differences in physical fitness...that's not important, as long as I can play the guitar!

"If Xiangzi has nothing else to do, I'll leave first."

Familiar words, which meant that Shimizu Rin had already started planning to evacuate Asukayama Park and escape in time.

Today's Asukayama Park is particularly peaceful and quiet.

Neither Shimizu Rin nor Toyokawa Shoko noticed that they were actually standing in the same place where Shoko and Suyo had confronted each other before.

But the Xiangzi of today is obviously not the Xiangzi of that time.

And Rin is not Su Shi either.

This resulted in a completely different scene unfolding in Asukayama Park today than on the previous rainy night, and it no longer made people feel extremely depressed.

"Wait a minute!"

Xiangzi quickly caught up with her. She quietly clenched the salary in her hand, obviously still unwilling to give up.

There was no way the blue-haired girl would give up so easily!

"what happened?"

Shimizu Rin stopped helplessly. She had no confidence that she could beat Toyokawa Shoko, a complete numerical monster, in the chase race.

Instead of making himself more physically and mentally exhausted, it is better to stay and have a good talk. It just so happens that Xiangzi is in a very normal state today, giving Lin the illusion that they are just like when they first met.

It doesn't look like it will cause her any trouble.

"Did Rin have dinner today?"

"not yet."

"That's great! Didn't Rin say before: 'Just consider it as me depositing some meal money with you'? Since Rin doesn't want to accept the money, can I treat Rin to dinner today?"

Since neither the hard nor the soft method worked, Xiangzi had to try something softer.

Xiangzi gently grasped Rin's wrist, and then acted as if he was about to kneel down at any moment, which made Qingshui Rin think of an old friend.

Now, just staying within the confines of Asukayama Park, even though a certain Ms. Nagasaki is not here, her presence is still very much felt.

Shimizu Rin touched her empty stomach. The afternoon training had already digested all the food from lunch.

Besides, she really couldn't stand Xiangzi's entanglement.

After hesitating for a while, the white-haired girl finally nodded.

"......All right."

If a simple dinner can make Xiangzi stop pestering me, it would naturally be a great deal.

And if I reject Xiangzi, Xiangzi will definitely chase me and ask me to hand over her salary.

Since Rin Shimizu was previously pulled into the black hole band CRYCHIC by Toyokawa Shoko, Rin is well aware of the stubbornness of this blue-haired girl, and Shoko will definitely continue to pursue certain things that she has identified with.

In this way, if the scene that Rin least wants to see occurs later - Toyokawa Shoko comes to pester her from time to time, "accidentally" attracts Su Shihemu's attention to herself, triggering many chain reactions.
