MyGO single pusher, but joined Mujica

"Why?" Kaname tilted her head in confusion. The person clearly said that everyone would accept her.

"Because our band is full of guitarists."

Kaname stared at them for a while, blinked his heterochromatic eyes and said, "I understand."

“Well…” Aine raised her hand and suggested, “How about I just withdraw and leave my place to this classmate.”

"Hmm..." Hearing her say this, Takamatsu Deng's expression was very sad, like an abandoned animal.

Seeing this, Li Xi immediately understood what the former was thinking and yelled at Ai Yin: "Since you invited Deng, don't just say you want to quit."

"Eh?"

Only then did Aine notice Takamatsu Touma's appearance, and recalling her original promise, she reluctantly said, "Well, okay, I'll try joining first. Don't blame me if it doesn't work out~"

Li Xi habitually pressed, "I will urge you to practice until you reach a qualified level."

Listening to their discussion, a trace of loneliness flashed in Kaname's eyes, and she turned and walked towards the outside of the cafe.

Su Shi, who was watching the whole situation, felt a little reluctant when she saw the lonely back of the former, but for the sake of more important people, she held back and did not say anything to keep him.

Aine also noticed Kaname's departure and asked with a puzzled look, "Wait...it seems that classmate hasn't paid yet."

"Don't worry about her. Someone has already paid for it." Li Xi said quickly, "First, tell me what your current guitar level is."

“Well… I can play C chord, G chord and so on…” Aine turned her face away, feeling so insecure for the first time.

"Huh? Are you kidding me? You want to be the lead guitarist with this level of skill?"

"How would I know you guys are going to officially debut? Isn't this too difficult for high school students?" Aine complained.

Li Xi said dismissively, "What's so difficult about this? Pastel*Palettes were also high school students when they debuted, and they also have to participate in agency activities on a regular basis, so they're busier than us."

"But they are the elites selected by the firm, how can they be the same?"

"It's no different. If they can do it, we can definitely do it too."

Seeing that the two were arguing endlessly, Su Shi quickly tried to smooth things over, "Li Xi-chan, why don't we book a recording studio first so that we can all practice together."

"Okay, I'll make an appointment with the store manager. The time will be tomorrow at 5 pm. You should be free, right?" Li Xi looked at the person he liked.

"Yeah." Gao Songdeng nodded.

"That's good." Li Xi stood up and walked out.

Aine pouted and said dissatisfiedly, "Hey~ Why are you ignoring me? Riki-chan is really biased."

"Tsk, shut up!"

...

At the same time, RiNG gate.

The sweaty Tian Nalin and the calm Toyokawa Shoko arrived here and met Yao Lenai who came out.

The moment he saw the white-haired girl, Tian Nalin breathed a sigh of relief and raised his hand to greet her.

"What a coincidence, Kaname-san, why are you here?"

Yao Lenai looked up at Tian Nalin with a somewhat aggrieved expression.

"That band doesn't want me."

"Eh? What's going on!"

Tian Nalin suddenly became anxious. He still wanted to hear the cat sing "Wu Lu Shi" and enjoy the pleasure brought by the top cat's meow.

"They said the guitarist was full."

"Impossible." Tian Nalin was extremely puzzled. Logically speaking, there should be no guitarist joining the team except Aine and Maomao.

"What's the guitarist's name?" he asked again.

"Muto and Aine."

"Huh..." Tian Nalin understood everything in an instant and felt relieved. Feelings were just Su Shi's wishful thinking.

This time it was Xiangzi who got upset and said, "Tian Na-kun, who is this?"

Tian Nalin then remembered that Teacher Daxiang was still nearby, and he extended his hand and said, "This is Tsuzuki Shifune's granddaughter, Kaname Rakuna. She's a very good guitar player, and I've only just met her."

"So she's the granddaughter of that legendary figure."

Just as Toyokawa Shoko was about to introduce herself, she suddenly saw Shiina Riki walking out of the RiNG gate and looking at them curiously.

"What are you doing?"

Xiangzi calmly began to greet him, "Long time no see, Shiina-san."

"Ms. Shiina, good afternoon." Tian Nalin also greeted with a smile.

However, Li Xi ignored him and continued to preach to Xiangzi:

"Sushi is planning to invite you to reunite with Crychic and strive for a mainstream debut in a short time. Are you aware of this?"

"Yes, but we have no interest in such presumptuous ideas."

"Why? Deng is so eager for you to come back."

"Will Shiina-san join the band your sister is forming?" Xiangzi asked back.

When Li Xi heard the word "sister", her face became obviously unhappy, but she finally understood the other party's thoughts.

"I understand."

Then she turned to Kaname and renewed her invitation.

"Wildcat, come and do this."

"want."

"Then come with me."

After saying that, Shiina Riki walked into the room and asked Lenai to follow him.

Toyokawa Shoko glanced at Tiannalin, who was in a downtime state, and turned to leave RiNG.

"Let's go, Tenna-kun."

"Oh, okay." Tian Nalin came back to his senses as if waking up from a dream and followed the former away.

Not long after, Nagasaki Suyo rushed out of the door in a hurry. She stood on tiptoe and looked around, trying to find the trace of a blue-haired girl.

But found nothing.

Finally, she squatted down weakly, her pair of crystal mist-blue pupils filled with water.

Tonight, someone is destined to remain sleepless.

Chapter 21 Self-deception

A few minutes ago, at the RiNG second floor cafe.

When Shiina Riki came back with Kaname Rana, everyone looked at them in confusion.

"Lixi-chan, what's going on?" Su Shi had an inexplicable ominous premonition.

Li Xi sat back down and then slowly said, "I just ran into Xiangzi at the door. She said she wasn't interested in joining the band, so I called Wildcat back."

"Eh?" Su Shi's smile froze instantly.

Gao Songdeng's pupils shrank, and then he lowered his head and began to reflect on himself.

Chihaya Aine looked at the reactions of the others and, understanding the situation, she didn't say anything more.

Kaname sat at the bar and ordered another matcha parfait.

The entire cafe was silent for a few seconds, and Su Shi suddenly stood up and ran out the door.

"I'm going to ask Xiaoxiang."

Li Xi did not stop him, but just crossed his arms and watched Su Shi run away.

This familiar scene triggered bad memories, and Gao Songdeng said dejectedly: "It's all because of me... Xiangzi refused."

"How is that possible!" Li Xi was the first to refute, his tone more anxious than anyone else.

Aine asked curiously, "Why would Xiao Deng have such an idea?"

"Because...I didn't sing well at the concert." Gao Songdeng clenched his fists and pressed them against his knees. "That's why Xiaoxiang didn't come."

"Xiao Deng, did you misunderstand? You sang Kasuga Shadow beautifully." Aiyin asked in confusion. Just now, while Li Xi went downstairs, they watched the MV that Crychic was rehearsing.

"That's right, Xiao Deng is the best singer." Li Xi rarely reached a consensus with a certain pink-haired cat.

"But...Xiao Xiang ignored me at school. He must be mad at me."

"That's not the case." Li Xi said anxiously, "That guy is just being upset. It has nothing to do with you, Xiao Deng."

"Really?" Gao Songdeng raised his head timidly.

"Yeah." Aine agreed. "I met Xiangzi once before and wanted to invite her to join the band, but she turned her down coldly. This shows that she treats everyone like this. It's not your fault, Xiao Deng."

Li Xi was surprised and asked, "So you invited Xiangzi?"

"Hehe, of course, I have a pretty good eye for people." Aine raised her chin proudly.

"Aine-chan..." After being comforted by the two, Takamatsu Deng's mood gradually returned to normal and he started to think about the current situation.

"Now that Xiaoxiang isn't coming...what should we do?"

"It's okay, many bands don't have keyboard players either." Li Xi comforted.

After a few people talked for a while, they saw Su Shi with a gloomy face. He came in, picked up his backpack, and walked out again, completely ignoring everyone.

"Su Shi..." Gao Songdeng stood up and stretched out his hand to keep her, but the former ignored him.

"This guy..." Li Xi said dissatisfiedly. Although she had guessed Su Shi's subsequent reaction a long time ago, she still felt unhappy.

Only Aine asked in confusion, "What happened to Suyo-san?"

"Don't worry about her. I have a new bassist. We will have our first practice as usual tomorrow." Lixi stood up and said.

Gao Songdeng insisted: "But we just agreed to be together for the rest of our lives..."

"Yeah, let's try to persuade Suyo-san first," Aine agreed.

Seeing this, Li Xi sighed and said, "Okay, I'll try again tonight, but don't hold your hopes too high."

Aine suggested, "Ritsuki-chan, give me Sushi's contact information too so I can try it."

"up to you."

Afterwards, they exchanged their numbers. Aiyin looked at the new contact on her phone and said, "Hey, so that's how your name is written, Rikki. Isn't this Rikki? It sounds like Ukki."

"what?"

Upon hearing this nickname, Li Xi's forehead immediately showed cross-ribs indicating anger, "Don't be like that man and give people such nicknames casually!"

"Hey~ Does anyone else call it that? That means everyone thinks it's cute."

Li Xi slammed the table and yelled, "You are such an annoying person!"

“You’re so cunning, Rikki~ You just said it’s up to me.” Aine smiled and didn’t take it seriously, changing the contact note to that name.

Li Xi was speechless and could only pick up his schoolbag and leave angrily.

But before she took two steps, Yao Lenai grabbed her sleeve.

"what?"

Kaname looked up at her and pointed to the empty cup in front of her.

"Rikki, check out."

"Huh? Didn't that person pay in advance?"

At this time, the waitress Yamabuki Saya explained, "I'm sorry, Riki-chan, but Mr. Tenna said that for the sake of Rina's health, you can only order one cup a day. Anything above that will be covered."

Li Xi immediately understood that this meant that she was asked to take responsibility. She held her head with both hands and let out a devastated scream.

"Ah—enough of you people!"
