Band members, girls with fermented bean curd, step forward!

"Wow, surprisingly, Ichiri can make the drinks the customers ordered very quickly!"

Hongxia looked at Boqi, who had burned out and was lying on the floor, and sighed inexplicably.

"Yes, and no customers have expressed any dissatisfaction with the quality of the drinks. Ichiri is really amazing! To achieve this on the first try, she's truly a genius!"

Chen's praise also reached Boqi's ears in a timely manner.

Most of the guests have already entered, and their work can be considered successfully completed.

"So, for today's finale, how about we try taking the initiative to meet with the guests?"

A guest who walked in alone from outside was a perfect candidate for training.

"Yili was already amazing today, but could he be even more amazing?"

No, that's right! She's already an invincible guitar hero; dealing with customers is a piece of cake.

Besides, she has already made drinks for so many customers, she is just a nobody!

Yili revealed a resolute look in his eyes as he slowly straightened up, nervously watching the last guest.

At this moment, the ticket seller, Yamada Ryo, also came over from behind the counter and whispered to Chen...

"Is it like coaxing a child or training a pet? Chen really has his own unique way of dealing with Yili~"

"It's very useful, isn't it? At least it encourages her to actively engage with these things."

"Oh, it seems I'll have to learn from this in the future, so that Ichiri can be more relaxed in the band." Ms. Ryo's cheerful voice echoed in Chen's ears.

"Go ahead and learn~ I'll still need your help taking care of Yili here. Once you understand her personality, I'll feel more at ease."

Although she wore a forced and strange expression, and her tone was rather inexplicable, Ichiri still managed to provide complete service.

"Your Beverage"

She handed the drink she was holding to the saleswoman at the counter.

With the guest responding with a light laugh and the word "thank you,"

Iri lost all her strength

She really did it!

"Yili was really great today! He exceeded his goal!"

Chen vigorously rubbed her soft pink hair.

Pochi, with his eyes narrowed, just chuckled, as if he had already attained enlightenment and ascended to immortality.

Hongxia also offered her praise at the opportune moment.

"That's right! Ichiri is already able to show her face and greet guests, that's really great!"

Hongxia, who was well aware of the closeness between Chen and Yili, didn't react in any particular way.

"It really is like training a dog."

Only Liang could say that.

"Liang! Don't say such strange things! It took Yili a lot of effort to muster up the courage."

Hongxia angrily slapped Liang on the head with a chop, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Yili, who was enjoying herself, hadn't noticed Liang's words.

"Liang, don't you need to continue your work over there?"

No matter what, you can't be this blatant about slacking off! If my sister finds out, I'm doomed.

Hongxia looked around nervously, but didn't see her sister.

"Ah, the manager covered my shift over there. He said that all the bands performing today are very famous, so we should have a good look."

Miss Liang was given an order to slack off, and she wasn't afraid at all.

"Hey, look, my sister is really gentle~ She's just a big tsundere, don't be afraid of her~"

Hongxia tried to change the negative image of her older sister in Ichiri's mind, but it didn't seem to be working.

Modification complete

Chapter 17 Superficial Prosperity

Nagasaki Motoyo happened to pass by Ring today.

It was just an ordinary day, with no special activities after school.

It's just going back to that home, devoid of any warmth or human connection.

But at the Ring's door, an unexpected person appeared in her line of sight.

What's with the light here?! And who's that pink-haired girl next to her?

Did the lamp make new friends somewhere she didn't know?

Su Shi didn't want to alert them, and followed in their footsteps.

Su Shi could no longer tolerate it after they stopped in front of Ring's bulletin board.

"A lamp? What a coincidence, you're here too?"

"Su, Su Shi?"

Deng clearly hadn't expected to meet Su Shi on this occasion.

She was very happy to see Su Shi again.

But Crychic has disbanded, and they can no longer get together.

Faced with this reality, Deng simply couldn't muster the energy to properly greet Su Shi.

"Excuse me, do you know what a lamp is?"

The girl in front of me... seems somewhat familiar.

After searching her mind for a moment, Miss Aine realized...

Isn't that Motoyo Nagasaki, the bassist from Crychic?

"Excuse me, are you Ms. Nagasaki Motoyo?"

Looking at the charming and popular-looking girl, Miss Aine introduced herself.

"My name is Chihaya Aine, and I'm a friend of Akari. I recognized you because I saw your picture on Crychic's official account."

Hmm? This pink-haired girl named Chihaya Aine even follows Crychic; she does have some taste.

Su Shi's already sweet voice became even more deliberate.

"Eh~ Yes, I'm Nagasaki Motoyo, the bassist."

"Chihaya-kun, why did you come to Ring with Akari today?"

Miss Su Shi discreetly gathered intelligence.

Upon learning that Deng was willing to reform the band, Su Shi's long-dormant heart suddenly stirred.

It seems the band isn't complete yet. If she joins, Lixi will definitely join because she has Deng around.

Crychic's restructuring was completed three-fifths of the way so easily.

If it's a harmonious relationship, I think I'll accept her invitation, right?

Su Shi wasn't worried about the harmony issue; her only problem was finding Xiangzi and getting her to change her mind.

However, with the addition of this band, Crychic's reunion is three-fifths complete.

Su Shi quickly made up her mind and began to think about how to join the band.

This is a wild bassist! And he was a former teammate of the guy with the lamp, so they must be a great match!

Miss Aine was also planning how to get Suze to join them; the two were essentially going in the same direction.

Finally, it was Aine who couldn't hold back any longer and extended an invitation to Su Shi first.

"Hey, Nagasaki-kun, would you like to join our band?"

"No problem~"

When you're sleepy, you'll find a pillow; it seems even the heavens are helping Nagasaki Motoyo rebuild Crychic!

Taking advantage of the situation, Suze suggested to Aine that Shiina Tatsuki, the original drummer for Crychic, was also working there.

They could try inviting her; that way, they'd have almost all the band members.

"Eh~ In that case, we have enough band members~"

Even with Riki included, there are only four people. Akari doesn't play any instruments at all. Why would Chihaya say that the band has enough members?

Noticing Su Shi's puzzled look, Miss Aine, who was in the middle of her excitement, was happy to answer her question.

As expected of Chihaya Aine, she almost successfully formed the band in just one day!

Miss Aine was already thinking about how to curry favor with Chen.

Regarding this "classmate Chen" who suddenly appeared in Ai Yin's words...

Moreover, judging from the way he's addressed, he's male.

Miss Su Shi's eyes narrowed slightly.

Why did Deng agree to form a band with a boy? What exactly happened that she didn't know about?

The information isn't enough; she can't act rashly yet. She needs to gather more intelligence.

Anyway, if Riki hears about this, she'll give Chihaya a good talking-to.

Using her identity as Li Xi's friend, Su Shi asked the cashier at the front desk to call Li Xi out from her work area.

I also ordered a cup of black tea and savored it slowly.

As expected of the young lady of the Moon Forest, her manners are truly impressive.

Miss Aine, impressed by her own wise decision, ordered the same black tea as Su Shi and began to drink it.

"Huh? Who would contact me at this time, claiming to be my friend?"

A slightly cold voice came from in front of the group.

Ms. Lixi, who was working, was forcibly dragged out of the kitchen.

Upon seeing the person she had been longing for day and night, she finally strode forward.

Lights! Su Shi! And another... pink-haired girl I don't recognize?

While excited, Li Xi was also very puzzled by this strange combination.

"Lantern! Su Shi! What's going on here?"

In a tentative tone, Miss Lixi asked a question.

It's better for someone else to answer Li Xi's questions.

Su Shi then turned the conversation to Miss Aine, who was standing to the side.

Let Chihaya, who's sitting next to me, explain it to you. She's the main character today!

"Hello! My name is Chihaya Aine, nice to meet you!"

Although she hadn't experienced the misunderstanding with Li Xi at the Ring's entrance, Aine felt inexplicably suppressed whenever she saw Li Xi.

It was as if she had encountered her natural enemy; her body was sending her a warning.

However, Ms. Ai couldn't resist the temptation of a drummer offered to her, and explained the details of forming a band to Ms. Lixi.

This nonsensical pink-haired girl! Doesn't she know that Lamp was traumatized by the band's breakup?! She actually dared to invite Lamp to join the band!

When Li Xi heard about forming a band, this was his first thought.

But after Deng herself confirmed that she was willing to join the band, Lixi fell silent.

"Because Ai Yin and Chen promised me they'd be in a band with me for life! So, I'm willing."

"what?!"

Aine is this pink-haired girl, so who is this Chen student? He sounds like a boy!

Making such a promise to the lamp—is this a deception of the lamp's feelings?

Why is there a guy in the band?!
