Anime Crossover Band, Rock Girl Won't Let Me Go

Chapter 273 Aine wanted to be in the rain...

Another day after school, the sky was slightly overcast compared to yesterday, with a layer of dark clouds covering the horizon, and it started to rain.

The weather in Tokyo during this season is so unpredictable, changing in an instant and making it hard to keep track of.

"Aki, Aine-chan, thank you for... for troubling me again. Thank you for bringing me back."

Takamatsu tilted her head slightly, looking somewhat embarrassed at the two people beside her.

Since she didn't bring an umbrella today, Bai Qiu took her home, and Chihaya Aine went along with her.

Although they have been lifelong friends, Gao Songdeng's personality made her feel somewhat apologetic for troubling everyone like this.

"The light is nothing, don't worry about it." Bai Qiu waved her hand and said in a relaxed tone, "I forgot to bring an umbrella last time too."

“Oh right! Tomorin.” Chihaya Aine shook her head with a smile, “I can’t let you go back in the rain.”

"Well, I see."

Takamatsu Akari let out a soft breath, a warm smile appearing on her face.

However, at the same time, she felt a little regretful.

It seems like she was just a hair's breadth away from having a chance to be alone with Qiu today...

Yesterday, with so many people sitting together in a meeting, she couldn't find a chance to be alone with Bai Qiu and ask her that question.

During their conversation, the three of them had already crossed the overpass.

This is Bai Qiu's third time visiting this bridge.

He first met Xiangzi at this place, and the second time was when he and Chuhua delivered lanterns home together last time.

Both times it was at night, but this time it wasn't dark yet, and he discovered that the overpass actually had a nice name.

Chitoge Trail Bridge.

After crossing the overpass, walk another ten meters or so, and you'll find Gao Songdeng's home in a residential building facing the street.

"See you tomorrow, lamp."

"Tomorin, go inside quickly."

"Okay, Aki, Aine-chan, bye-bye, I'll remember to bring an umbrella tomorrow."

After waving goodbye to Shiraaki and Chihaya Aine, Takamatsu Akari glanced at Shiraaki one last time with a slightly flushed face before turning and entering the residential building.

Logically, now that they're here, Gao Songdeng should have invited the two of them to come up and sit down.

However, she had something on her mind that she had inadvertently forgotten.

Next time, for sure!

The next time she finds an opportunity to be alone with Bai Qiu, she will ask Qiu and Li Xi if they are dating.

Gao Songdeng cheered himself up and silently made up his mind.

For example, if not...would Qiu be willing to date her...?

……

"Qiuqiu, let's go back too!"

Watching Gao Songdeng's figure disappear, Ai Yin folded her umbrella, her pink hair fluttering. She quickly slipped under Bai Qiu's umbrella and opened her mouth with a sweet smile.

Hey!

Things we must do together after getting a boyfriend! +1, Sharing an umbrella on rainy days.

Chihaya Aine was in a wonderful mood and couldn't help but hum softly.

"it is good."

As Bai Qiu responded with a smile, she felt a touch on her shoulder.

Through a thin layer of clothing, their shoulders gently rested together. Bai Qiu silently moved the umbrella closer to Ai Yin to prevent her shoulders from getting wet.

Upon noticing Bai Qiu's concern for her, Ai Yin smiled and leaned closer to Bai Qiu, as if she wanted to bury herself in his arms.

"That way... you won't get wet."

"Mm." Bai Qiu nodded, a smile appearing on her face.

Who wouldn't be smitten by a girlfriend like that?

Despite the rain, the two strolled back the way they came at a leisurely pace, creating a scene of lovers taking a walk in the rain and enjoying this warm moment.

Suddenly, Chihaya Aine felt Shiraaki grasp the hand that was resting on their shoulder.

Huh? Ai Yin blinked slightly in surprise, then felt a surge of joy. Qiu Qiu was being so proactive today?!

She had only just begun to prepare something when Qiuqiu took action first!

Is he about to launch an offensive against her?!

She knew it; there was no way her body wouldn't be attractive to Bai Qiu at all.

"Aine, thank you."

Suddenly, Bai Qiu's expression turned serious, and he turned his head to speak softly to Ai Yin.

"Huh?" Ai Yin was clearly taken aback, her gray eyes suddenly turning to Bai Qiu, blinking several times in confusion.

"Qiuqiu, what are you thanking me for?"

"It's about letting Xiao Mo stay at my house," Bai Qiu explained.

Previously, he was able to live with Xiangzi without too many concerns because he was still single at the time.

As long as he and Xiangzi themselves don't care, the innocent will clear themselves.

But now the situation is a little different; he now has a girlfriend named Aiyin.

Although the circumstances were special, he did indeed live with Metty.

As far as Ai Yin was concerned, it was just a little tantrum or disagreement, which Bai Qiu found perfectly reasonable.

But Aine is very understanding.

"Oh." Chihaya Aine drawled out her words slightly, her expression relaxed. "Qiuqiu, you mean this?"

"I'm not that petty! I wouldn't allow something like this."

"Hmm... I am a little jealous that Qiuqiu and Ruoye...Metis are living together."

Chihaya Aine puffed out her cheeks, then quickly calmed down, staring into Shiraaki's eyes, her tone becoming more serious.

"However, Metis's situation is special, and there's nothing that can be done in this situation."

As she spoke, Chihaya Aine tightened her grip on Shiraaki's fingers, as if trying to make Shiraaki believe her.

"So, Qiuqiu, you don't need to take it to heart!"

To be honest, when Chihaya Aine first met Wakaba Mutsu yesterday, she did feel a little hostility towards him and kept it in her mind.

However, after hearing the shocking news that Wakaba Mutsu had developed multiple personality disorder, her hostility towards Wakaba Mutsu somewhat dissipated.

Are you sick? Okay, then I won't blame you for now.

She should just turn a blind eye.

Qiuqiu, I'll let you hug me for a bit.

Being sick is something that can't be helped, right? It's multiple personality disorder... This is a mental illness that Chihaya Aine thought she would never encounter in her life.

She also began to worry about him.

"I hope Wakaba gets better soon," Chihaya Aine prayed.

"Mm." Bai Qiu nodded, her expression relaxing as she smiled at Ai Yin.

In addition, starting today, he will lock his bedroom door before going to bed, so that Mortis will not have the opportunity to sneak into his room while he is asleep.

"Aiyin, don't step in the puddles. We're going to get on the overpass now. Don't fall."

Watching Ai Yin's childlike behavior, Bai Qiu offered a word of advice.

The two walked and talked, and had already approached the overpass. It was time to go to the bus stop on the other side.

"Hehe, even if I accidentally fall, you'll catch me before I hit the ground, right?"

Hearing Bai Qiu's words, Chihaya Aine didn't take them seriously. Instead, she turned her head and gave Bai Qiu a mischievous smile.

However, she stopped wading through the puddles and instead raised her two fair arms to hook them tightly around Bai Qiu's arm.

"Of course," Bai Qiu said firmly.

Not only to protect the Futa King's achievements, but more importantly, because Aine trusts him so much, he certainly can't let Aine fall into the puddle.

"But Qiuqiu, why is Metacritic so clingy to you?" Aiyin looked at Bai Qiu and asked with some doubt.

Bai Qiu thought for a moment, "Maybe it's because I have good relationships with people?"

"That Mu, could it be that he likes you too?"

"I think... no." Bai Qiu shook her head.

Xiao Mutou likes him too? Bai Qiu doesn't think so.

"Qiuqiu, did you hesitate just now?!"

Chihaya Aine suddenly raised her voice and gripped Shiraaki's arm tightly with both hands.

"Aiyin, the car is almost here, let's hurry."

"Don't change the subject."

Seeing that her scheme had been exposed, Bai Qiu sighed softly and opened her mouth as if to say something.

Chihaya Aine's whimpering followed, "Hmph! No way, Aki, you have to make it up to me!"

Chihaya Aine's illustrations have disappeared.

Bai Qiu paused, looking curiously at Ai Yin, and the two stopped in their tracks in tacit agreement.

"What kind of compensation do you want, Aine?"

You'll have to figure that out yourself!

Chihaya Aine suddenly became shy, speaking softly in a slightly coquettish voice, and then pursed her lips.

A date, a gift? Or some other request?

Bai Qiu thought about it seriously. He would do his best to fulfill Ai Yin's wishes, as long as it was within his power.

"..."

Chihaya Aine didn't speak, but simply tilted her head slightly towards Shiraaki and closed her eyes.

Seemingly due to nervousness, her long, delicate eyelashes fluttered like butterfly wings.

Chihaya Aine felt her cheeks burning uncontrollably, and steam was about to rise from the top of her head.

She's done all that, Qiuqiu should understand, right?

Although everyone was talking about serious matters yesterday, not about love and romance.

However, faced with the appearance of one after another philanderer, Chihaya Aine also felt a real sense of crisis.

Therefore, she also needs to cultivate a deeper relationship with Bai Qiu in order to realize her plan as soon as possible, to take advantage of Bai Qiu completely, and to make Xiangzi and the others leave the scene on their own!

However, on the other hand, isn't it inappropriate to be intimate in such a place?

The lamp, the lamp just left...

The two were still on the overpass, and it wouldn't be good if they were seen kissing in such a public place by passersby.

Isn't she being a little too bold?!

But kissing in the rain can be romantic too!

The umbrella tilted slightly, and Bai Qiu looked at Ai Yin's increasingly rosy cheeks with surprise. Then, Bai Qiu's expression became somewhat amused and exasperated.

So you made these vinegar-filled dumplings just for Ai Yin?

And is this really compensation? It would be more accurate to call it a reward.

If Aine's hints are this obvious and he still doesn't understand, then he really should be given the title of "blockhead" by Wakaba Mutsu.

Without the slightest hesitation, a smile appeared on Bai Qiu's face, and she took action.

He and Aine are a normal couple, and they have the intimate contact that couples should have.

Bai Qiu reached out his free hand and slipped it through Ai Yin's waist, embracing the girl's slender and soft waist from behind.

Ai Yin nervously opened her eyes briefly, her gray eyes brimming with tears, then quickly closed them again with all her might.

She threw herself into Bai Qiu's arms.

Almost simultaneously, their lips met.

The light rain was still pattering on the umbrellas above their heads.

……

"Su Shi, I'm sorry to have taken up your time. It's great that you could play the double bass today. There aren't many double bass players in the department."

"It's okay, everyone has worked hard too."

"It's so nice to have such kind people! It's getting late, everyone should head home now. Goodbye!"

"See you tomorrow."

At the entrance of Tsukimori Forest, Nagasaki Motoyo politely said goodbye to her classmates, then clutched her bag and walked towards the station with her umbrella.

I left school a little late today.

The music festival at Tsukimori Academy is coming soon.

Su Shi's wind instrument section will also be performing on stage. As one of the few double bass players in the section, Su Shi was asked to join the performance, just like in previous years.

Therefore, Su Shi had to stay behind to participate in training during the club activities after school today.

It's almost been a year...

Nagasaki Motoyo suddenly thought of something, and a look of wistfulness appeared on her face.

About a year ago, at the Tsukimori Music Festival, Toyokawa Shoko appeared in front of her and invited her to join the band, which together formed Crychic.

Crychic brought her wonderful memories.

But the sudden disbandment left her immersed in the experience for a long time, unable to move on.

Until she met Bai Qiu.

But... if she hadn't been in a band, she probably wouldn't know Bai Qiu now!

With Bai Qiu in her heart, Nagasaki Suze's lips curled slightly, and a genuine, warm smile appeared on her fair face under the umbrella.

Although her wish to date Bai Qiu has not yet been fulfilled.

But we can maintain this warm and cozy daily life.

She can also feel satisfied.

Su Shi could also sense that the distance between her and Bai Qiu was slowly closing. The future was still long, and if things continued like this, she might not be without a chance.

By now, Bai Qiu and Motis should be home by now, right?

She needs to hurry back and prepare dinner.

Putting aside her wandering thoughts, Nagasaki Motoyo silently quickened her pace.

However, just as she straightened her umbrella and looked up at the sky, two familiar figures came into her view on the overpass.
