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

Chapter 88: A Drummer is Here Too

Sunday afternoon.

It's almost 3 o'clock.

RiNG live house.

Bai Qiu arrived first.

He glanced at the front desk.

The black-haired girl named Shiina Tatsuki, who was very protective of Takamatsu Akari, seemed to be absent.

Bai Qiu felt a little regretful; he wanted to see if she saw him and Deng here again.

What kind of reaction will they have, and what kind of expression will they show?

soon.

Chihaya Aine and Takamatsu Akari also arrived one after the other.

Aine chose to meet here because she had been here before to post recruitment posters.

Through a shop assistant's introduction, I also learned about a drummer who currently doesn't have a band, but I was coldly rejected at the time.

Chihaya Aine was very lively, showing her little tiger teeth as she greeted Shiraaki and Takamatsu Akari.

Bai Qiu nodded calmly.

This made Ai Yin unable to help but complain to the lamp next to her: "Tomorin, look at him, he's so cold."

Bai Qiu ignored the second half of her sentence and asked in confusion, "Tomorin, when?"

Deng gave a cute little laugh, knowing that Ai Yin was just joking with Bai Qiu.

"Don't you think this nickname is cute?" Ai Yin chuckled twice. "How about I give you one too?"

Bai Qiu waved her hand in refusal.

Next, Yao Le Nai arrived, and Bai Qiu used a matcha parfait as bait to get her to arrive on time.

"Lanna, you're here... Yes..."

Before the shop assistant, Rinko Maji, could finish speaking, Ryuna once again walked straight towards Shiraaki.

Rinko Maji was taken aback, sensing that something was amiss.

This is the second time.

In the past, when Lena came to the store, she would first play the guitar and then eat the matcha parfait.

And now...

Rinko Maji looked at Shiraaki with suspicion.

He seems to be a friend of Lixi.

But could it be that Lena was kidnapped by him?

Thinking about it this way, Lena has been coming to Ring less often lately.

As Lena is the granddaughter of her former boss, she can't just ignore her.

Rinko Maji instinctively started paying attention to what was happening here.

Chihaya Aine greeted Kaname Rakuna with a beaming smile.

Is this the guitar virtuoso Bai Qiu was talking about? She looks like just a little girl.

The lead guitarist is steady.

“Matcha parfait.”

Le Nai should come up and demand payment from Bai Qiu.

"Don't worry, I'll go buy it for you right away."

Bai Qiu asked her to sit down first, then got up to order food.

After sitting down, Kaname stared intently at Akari Takamatsu, who seemed to emanate a kind of attraction that drew her in.

Lena opened her mouth slightly: "Band?"

Takamatsu felt strange being stared at, but upon hearing the band's name, she clenched her fist and instinctively replied:

"Yeah, the band...forever."

Lena's eyes lit up, and the corners of her lips curled up: "An interesting woman."

Bai Qiu, who had just returned from buying a matcha parfait, twitched her lips slightly after hearing the conversation between the two.

However, it seems that Yoro has decided to join.

The problem of lighting is a long and arduous one.

So Bai Qiu said to Le Nai, "Don't use the word 'woman' so casually, it's impolite."

"What did you say?"

Le Nai looked at Bai Qiu with an innocent expression, as if she really didn't understand.

"girl."

"Oh."

Bai Qiu nodded in satisfaction.

3 points.

Yawata Kairin arrived precisely at this moment.

Bai Qiu waved to Yahata Kairin, indicating, "Kairin, over here."

Hachiman Kairin nodded and came to the group.

After looking around, she finally looked at Takamatsu Akari with some surprise.

"Sorry, I'm late."

Bai Qiu shook her head: "Just right."

Hailin nodded: "Let me introduce myself. My name is Hachiman Hailin. I play bass and am currently active in about 30 bands."

Chihaya Aine and Takamatsu Akari were surprised to hear this, while Kaname Rakuna enjoyed eating the matcha parfait.

The group sat down, and Chihaya Aine and the others began to introduce themselves and chat...

……

At the RiNG entrance, Shiina Tatsuki arrived to relieve the shift.

Upon entering the store, she saw Takamatsu lamps.

Shiina Riki was pleasantly surprised and quickly walked over, taking two steps at a time.

I never expected to run into Deng before my shift ended.

Was the lamp there to find her?

Shiina Tatsuki quickly approached the group, her eyes fixed on the light, and called out:

"lamp!"

"You...you've come."

Afraid of startling the light, Lixi carefully controlled the volume.

Gao Songdeng looked up in surprise, saw Li Xi looking somewhat surprised, gave a gentle smile, and said softly:

“Hmm… Lixi.”

Just as Shiina Riki was about to say something, she caught a glimpse of Shiraaki standing next to the lamp out of the corner of her eye.

"Are you there too?"

Then she saw Hailing next to Bai Qiu.

"Hailin...is here too?"

Shiina Riki's expression was different, and she quickly looked at the other two.

I don't know the stray cat and the pink-haired one well, but I've seen them before.

A huge question suddenly arose in Shiina Riki's mind.

What are these guys doing here with the lamp?

Chihaya Aine's mouth opened slightly, and she paused, pointing her index finger at herself.

what about me?

Aine thought that Shiina Ritsuki would greet her next.

As a result, they were completely ignored.

"What are you doing here?"

Shiina Riki asked directly, focusing on Akari, Shiraaki, and Hailin.

“We were talking about the band,” Hailing replied.

"A band?" Li Xi was a little confused.

"It's about forming a band together!" This time it was Chihaya Aine's voice.

"What? Forming a band!" Shiina Tatsuki was surprised and approached Akari in disbelief. "Akiari... is she forming a band too?"

“Hmm…” Gao Songdeng nodded slightly, then looked warmly at Ai Yin and Bai Qiu, “Ai Yin, Qiu, and I formed a band.”

Chihaya Aine chuckled sheepishly and nodded smugly.

Being looked at like that is really nice; forming a band with the class mascot was definitely the right choice.

Bai Qiu felt that, strictly speaking, she wasn't a team member.

Shiina Riki stared wide-eyed at Shiraaki and Aine, her feelings complicated.

It's already assembled?!

This pink-haired girl even invited her once.

So, she missed an opportunity to work with the Lights Band?

You really deserve to die!

"Light! I... want to form a band with you too."

Shiina Riki blushed slightly, looking a little embarrassed and nervous, her eyes filled with anticipation as she gazed at the lamp.

Are there any vacancies?

"Eh?"

Chihaya Aine asked in confusion, "Didn't you reject me?"

"We still need a drummer." Takamatsu nodded happily, then looked at Aine and Shiraaki.

Bai Qiu was slightly surprised, but after glancing at Ai Yin, she understood what she was thinking.

So now we have a drummer?

That went quite smoothly.

"If Shiina-kun is interested, why don't we sit down and chat first?"

Shiina Riki glanced at Bai Qiu in surprise, then nodded: "Okay."

Shiina Tatsuki also took his seat.

Bai Qiu looked at Le Nai, who had almost finished eating the matcha parfait.

"Lena, what do you think? Want to join this band?"

With a spoon in her mouth, Kaoru asked, "Will there be a live performance?"

Bai Qiu chuckled: "Of course there is."

"We need to form a band."

Bai Qiu nodded, then looked at Hachiman Kairin: "Hairin, what's your decision?"

"Well, I'd like to join as a support musician first. It would be best if you could let me know a little in advance if there are any practice sessions, is that alright?"

Hachiman Kailing asked.

The group thought it was fine.

"You know each other well?"

Shiina Riki glanced at Hailin, then at Bai Qiu.

She didn't understand.

How come this guy seems to know everyone around her, and they even seem quite familiar with each other?

"I'm fine, what's wrong?"

Hailing looked at Lixi.

"nothing."

Li Xi turned his head away.

Are you jealous?

Yawata Kairin stroked her chin and spoke softly.

"Huh?" x2

Bai Qiu and Shiina Riki both exclaimed in surprise.

The two exchanged a glance, then looked at Hailing in surprise.

Bai Qiu's pupils contracted slightly. "Sister Hailing, what are you talking about? Is this still the cool mercenary I know?"

How did he come up with such a startling statement?

Shiina Tatsuki was much more direct, raising an eyebrow, "What are you talking about?"

"You two have great chemistry."

Hachiman Kairin did not answer, but lingered her gaze on the two of them for a moment before speaking.

Bai Qiu shrugged helplessly, while Shiina Riki crossed his arms.

"How is this possible?!" x2

Bai Qiu and Shiina Riki looked at each other, then turned their heads away, deciding to remain silent for the time being.

Chihaya Aine blinked: "You really have great chemistry."

Gao Songdeng gave a soft "hmm".

"Um... what are you all doing here?"

At that moment, a very abrupt voice broke the silence.
