Chapter 92 Shiina Riki's Troubles / Ijichi Nijika's Darkening

It's been almost a year since C-group disbanded.

To be honest, Shiina Tatsuki sometimes felt that she had spoken a little too harshly back then. But what's done is done, and she could only hope that she hadn't hurt the innocent child in her memory too much.

But getting back to the point, Shiina Tatsuki is no longer bothered by the disbandment of C-group.

However, she has been having some troubles lately.

Shiina Tatsuki's troubles are none of Narusawa Kaede's business.

...perhaps.

After being severely reprimanded by her older sister last time, she sincerely apologized and finally received her sister's forgiveness. But at the same time, she also felt that her older sister was becoming more and more powerful and distant.

Ring's part-time job also brought her back into the trouble of her former teammates. When they met again, Nagasaki from the Moon Forest looked much more haggard.

Most importantly, the lights came on.

Takamatsu lights.

Shiina Tatsuki had always cared about that child. Seeing a pink-haired friend appear beside Akari, she also noticed the pink-haired girl. The pink-haired girl who claimed to be... someone's ex-girlfriend.

This statement sounds familiar.

The last time I heard about it was from Lixi's older sister.

Shiina Tatsuki and Narusawa Kaede's first meeting took place when Narusawa Kaede was on a date with Wakaba Mutsu.

Sure enough, that person was a scumbag.

During a conversation with a senior colleague at Ring, Shiina Tatsuki confirmed this statement.

However, Mingze Feng's reputation among the veteran groups is surprisingly good.

Shiina Ritsuki didn't understand. If it were her, upon discovering that the other person was a jerk, she would immediately delete their contact information.

Although Shiina Tatsuki doesn't understand Narusawa Kaede.

But she understands Chihaya Aine.

This kind of person is too easy to understand, and also too petty. Shiina Tatsuki was very worried, afraid that Chihaya Aine would corrupt the innocent Akari.

But after spending time with her recently, Chihaya Aine doesn't seem bad, except for being a bit slacker.

It's just plain stupid.

This is already good.

Unlike some people, who are both bad and stupid.

Of course, Shiina Tatsuki was referring to Nagasaki Motoyo. However, seeing that Akari was having a good time, Shiina Tatsuki didn't expose her trick.

Shiina Tatsuki didn't expose Chihaya Aine's little trick.

Because she has indeed been practicing diligently, her skills have visibly improved. She only occasionally shows off the photos when she's really excited.

On yet another occasion, when Chihaya Aine took out a photo of a certain man, they attracted the attention of Kaname Rakuna, who was there to freeload.

Shiina Tatsuki also learned about the background of this legendary figure's granddaughter from her senior colleagues.

The word "simple" is "genius".

Shiina Tatsuki hates geniuses the most.

This was the beginning of her troubles.

It's often said that drummers are in a stress-bearing position.

But

"I can't be the composer, drummer, and practice supervisor all at the same time. My song is right there, don't just change it! And what's with the fact that the revised version completely blows me out of the water?"

Ever since Kaname arrived, Chihaya Aine has started to disobey orders, constantly trying to get close to Kaname in a way that borders on servility.

Without the ability to read minds, Shiina Tatsuki had no idea how terrified Chihaya Aine was.

When Chihaya Aine saw Kaname, she was reminded of the time when Kaname and Ryuna sat in the same row at Narusawa Kaede's concert. She had long regretted ever mentioning Narusawa Kaede as her boyfriend.

But in Shiina Riki's eyes, isn't this just thinking that she's a noob, that the other side is awesome, that she doesn't want to listen to the music she composed?

Chihaya Aine talks about how amazing Kaname Rakuna is every day.

What Shiina Riki found most unacceptable was that Chihaya Aine showed Takamatsu Akari's notebook to the cat first.

That idiot, tell her to get lost!

These bastards, if you don't want to play, then don't play!

After their big argument, Shiina Tatsuki hasn't received any news from Tohru for three days.

-

Yawata Kairin has exceptional initiative.

After school in Hanasaki River that afternoon, Yahata Kairin was the first to walk to the front row seat, where Shiina Tatsuki was still slumped over her desk. Without any hesitation, Yahata Kairin placed the mandarin orange-flavored soda she was holding on the back of Shiina Tatsuki's head.

Actually, Shiina Tatsuki likes chocolate flavor. But just like how Shiina Tatsuki, knowing that Yahata Kairin likes mandarin orange flavored drinks, still only sends her chocolate flavored drinks, Yahata Kairin also got used to sending Shiina Tatsuki mandarin orange flavored drinks.

When the two of them exchanged drinks, they would choose their own favorites rather than the other's.

After that, Hachiman Kairin did not leave as usual.

Contrary to what Narusawa Kaede thought, Hachiman Kairin really did have a friend, namely Shiina Tatsuki.

Whether it's the so-called reunion of the band or his general frustration, it's entirely Shiina Tatsuki's business.

Moreover, it has been going on for some time now.

Shiina Tatsuki asked in a muffled voice, "What is it?"

Yawata Kairin: "Come work out with me tonight."

"what?"

Shiina Riki tossed the drink aside, catching it with one hand while giving Hachiman Kairin a surprised look.

Shiina Tatsuki: "You know I have a part-time job, right?"

Yawata Kairin tilted her head and asked, "Can't we cancel it?"

"This isn't about whether I cancel or not. I work at Ring, and the layout is always fixed. Besides, why did you suddenly ask me to go exercise...?"

Shiina Riki kept talking, while Hachiman Kairin pondered, recalling what Narusawa Kaede had done.

Yahata Kairin bent down and, under Shiina Tatsuki's puzzled gaze, took Shiina Tatsuki's hand.

That was bad enough, but she even brought her face closer.

Looking into those eyes so close to hers, Shiina Tatsuki felt goosebumps rise all over her body. Her face contorted, and she resisted the urge to push him away, her eyes filled with disgust.

Damn it, what is she doing?!

She flung away Hachiman Kairin's hand, and Shiina Tatsuki rubbed her hand on the hem of her skirt as if trying to wipe off something dirty.

"Don't suddenly say something disgusting! Just tell me what's wrong!"

"Stay with me. Tonight."

Hachiman Kairin raised her hand, as if to do it again.

[Be bold in expressing your true feelings; that's roughly how I wrote it down back then.]

Shiina Tatsuki shook her head firmly, "No, absolutely not! I fucking don't like women! Go find someone else!"

Yawata Kairin: "Is that so? I don't look for lesbians either."

"...So what the hell do you want to do?!"

"Exercise and relax. You're putting too much pressure on yourself."

"..."

Shiina Tatsuki breathed a sigh of relief. She hesitated for a moment, then looked at the calm-faced Hachiman Kairin, and suddenly realized that she had misunderstood something.

And it seems that her friend is also worried about her.

"...Alright...I'll send a message to Toyama-senpai."

-

Their daily interactions are both superficial and profound. Although they have a good relationship, they rarely intrude on each other's lives.

Of course, compared to Hachiman Kairin, who runs all over Shinjuku and joins groups everywhere, Shiina Tatsuki can be considered a well-behaved student with excellent grades and conduct.

This was her first time visiting the house that Yawata Kairin was renting.

It was unexpectedly large.

Yawata Kairin: "The rent is also very expensive."

Shiina Tatsuki: "Can't we just go to a smaller place?"

"It's not to the point where we can't afford to stay. The young ladies of Tsuki no Mori are all very generous."

Just like how Naruzawa Kaede was able to survive with the support of the band, Hachiman Kairin, who entered the industry early on, has a lot of experience in how to squeeze out a share of the young lady's allowance.

For an introverted young lady, sometimes a word of encouragement is enough to make the other party casually add an extra zero to the payroll.

Money Gate.

In this respect, Naruzawa Kaede is clearly ahead of Hachiman Kairin. While the latter is still relying on her skills and looks to make a living, he has already used his looks and skills to marry a rich woman.

And there are several at a time.

Hachiman Kairin genuinely felt that it was truly amazing that Narusawa Kaede was still able to avoid being hacked to pieces.

"Lixi, wear this for now."

What Hachiman Kairin gave Shiina Tatsuki was an unopened tracksuit and underwear. Immediately afterwards, she pulled Shiina Tatsuki into a room.

The place was full of fitness equipment, a dazzling array of gear, some of which Shiina Tatsuki recognized, and some she didn't.

While instructing her on how to warm up, Hachiman Kairin pulled Shiina Tatsuki onto the treadmill.

Fifteen minutes later.

Shiina Riki, supporting her lower back, was panting heavily, her hair sticking to her cheek with sweat.

She was panting heavily, her throat felt itchy and sore.

I want to drink water.

"It hasn't stopped yet. Your legs are too stiff, stretch them."

After another period of torment.

"Ha... Ah, it's finally over?"

Shiina Tatsuki felt that she never wanted to exercise again in her life.

A bottle of milky white beverage was handed to her by Yawata Kairin.

Shiina Tatsuki took the towel from Yawata Kairin and asked weakly, "...Is that milk?"

Hachiman Kairin looked much more relaxed than her, though there were some beads of sweat on her forehead.

The slim, tight-fitting sportswear accentuated her waist and abs, making even Shiina Riki, a woman, instinctively touch her own belly.

It's so sore! I can't believe I got this much sore from exercising.

Shiina Tatsuki shook the bottle in her hand: "No, it's egg drop soup. Have some."

"..."

Seeing that Shiina Tatsuki had fallen silent, Yahata Kairin kindly explained, "Drinking a little won't have any effect. It's good for your nutrition."

"..."

Despite Shiina Tatsuki's fierce gaze, Hachiman Kairin remained unfazed and put the bottle away.

Yawata Kairin: "Fine, if you don't want to drink it."

Shiina Tatsuki licked her lips, "I'll drink it!"

Yawata Kairin reminded her, "Don't drink too fast. You just finished running, so take small sips."
