Taki's Inferiority Complex Lingers Like a Venomous Snake

"Why are you even more anxious than I am?" Riki asked, puzzled.

Boiling Sheep was just as angry when he stood up for Pretty Sheep.

But the problem is, I'm not Pleasant Goat.

My buddy pulled out something big... well, never mind, Rikki's here, so I won't, lest she think she's seen a dragon.

"Who's in a hurry!" Shiina Riki exclaimed.

"No rush, no rush. Let me check the directions on Gaode Map first. I don't go to the zoo often; I usually only see zoo videos on Bilibili."

Riki was holding her phone when Shiina Riki pouted in dissatisfaction. Suddenly, she saw a girl carrying a euphonium walk out of the concert hall. The girl snorted when she saw Riki.

Shiina Riki frowned; this girl's arrogant attitude was really annoying.

She frowned slightly, her gaze fixed on the euphonium in the other person's hand. Was it she who had just played it?

"Oh, it's you. I'm so sorry I accidentally interrupted your performance." The girl walked over, looked Riki up and down, and said without any remorse.

Riki ignored her, and the girl snorted, "Last time, it was because of some shady dealings at Haicheng University that you got that special award. Don't think you'll be so lucky next time, especially you, Riki."

"To be honest, it's true."

She's already like this, why not just give in to her?

Seeing that the visitor was hostile, Shiina Riki Riki, "Who is she?"

"A music student who got in through connections lost a competition and felt that my connections were better than hers, so she's been very unhappy ever since," Riki said.

"So she came in second place?" Shiina Riki asked.

"No, she's in the top sixteen."

"Ah?"

Riki defeated the first-place winner, but still couldn't defeat the top sixteen.

Shiina Riki frowned. Was her euphonium performance just now also intentional?

Shiina Riki was a little annoyed.

The girl with the euphonium turned around and saw her companion calling her. She gave Riki a haughty look and turned back. Her companion was stunned when she saw Riki, and shrank back a little timidly.

But Riki didn't do anything.

Shiina Riki glared at Riki with displeasure. "Why didn't you attack her?!"

So you're going to attack me if I don't attack her?

"After all, it's version T0, so we have to give it some face. Besides, don't you really like pandas? If we start arguing and the police come, we won't be able to go to the zoo to see the pandas," Riki shrugged.

Shiina Riki paused for a moment.

That's why I didn't retaliate?

"You idiot," Shiina Riki muttered under her breath.

Rikki is indeed a bit aggressive.

She glared at the euphonium girl's retreating figure and said fiercely to Riki, "I want coffee."

Can coffee quell the anger in your heart?

Riki bought a bottle of Magpie's Nest coffee from the vending machine next to her.

Shiina Riki opened the bottle with one hand with a "snap," tilted his head back, and gulped it down in one go.

Rikki has such a deep throat.

Of course, the wise see wisdom, and the lewd see lewdness. Riki's thoughts and actions are as clear as a mirror, without a trace of filth.

Riki watched as Shiina Riki gripped an empty can tightly, took two steps forward, leaned back, and threw the can with force. It flew in a perfect arc, hitting the euphonium girl directly on the head across the road. The girl clutched her head and turned back to look at Riki and Shiina Riki in disbelief.

Shiina Riki clapped her hands, her face flushed, and said to Riki, "You might not care, but I'm really upset, so I lost this for myself, not for you!"

Riki was shocked.

Version T0 versus version T0, this is the real battle between humans and demons! Kuchimi Shigeto, come and learn how to draw Jujutsu Kaisen!

Looking at Shiina Riki's Tsundere face, Riki couldn't help but laugh.

"What are you laughing at!" Shiina Riki blushed and glared at Riki. "I just don't know how to be gentle!"

"It's nothing, I just wanted to say that Rikki is still Rikki, so cute," Riki said with a smile.

"... It's so noisy."

Shiina Riki turned her head, her cheeks flushed, and saw the euphonium girl waiting at the traffic light, about to cross. Riki grabbed her hand and laughed, "None of her business, let's run!"

"Hey, wait a minute..."

Shiina Riki looked at the hand being held by Riki, and a faint smile appeared on her face.

Welcome to Haicheng Zoo!

Riki introduced Shiina Riki: "Our zoo focuses on the harmonious coexistence of humans and animals, introducing visitors to various creatures from around the world..."

"I can understand this simple Chinese text, so there's no need to read the description at the entrance," Shiina Riki said casually, interrupting Riki as she read the text description at the zoo entrance.

"I was just about to ask you, why are you learning Chinese?" Riki asked curiously.

Does this mean -- [B-limited] learning Chinese?

Hmm, that does seem like a good way to make popcorn.

"... This has nothing to do with you," Shiina Riki said after a pause.

It wasn't because of Riki that I learned it.

She just wanted to learn it herself.

"Wait a moment, I'll go buy two tickets." Riki walked to the ticket window and saw a sign next to it that read, "Children under six, seniors over sixty, and veterans are free."

Riki pointed to Shiina Riki next to him and said to the ticket seller, "Actually, she's a veteran, and I'm Qin Shi Huang."

"Okay, sir, two adult tickets, sixty yuan."

"Here's my student ID. Give it to me."

"Yes, sir, students get a 40% discount."

As expected of a ticket seller at Haicheng Zoo, she's a seasoned veteran with no composure whatsoever. What has made her like this?

Thought-provoking.

Riki sighed as she led Shiina Riki into the zoo. As soon as they entered, they saw many parents with children, as well as quite a few couples.

Where are the pandas?

Riki looked at the amusement park map and found it in the center. As expected of a national treasure, it firmly occupied the central position.

Riki was about to take Shiina Riki over when she turned around and found her staring intently at the zoo employee giving gifts to the children. The employee was dressed in a panda mascot costume and was giving the children animal ear headbands, which were worn on their heads like headbands and had two small ears.

"What's wrong? Do you want it?" Riki asked.

"No, that's for kids, adults wouldn't want it," Shiina Riki said calmly, crossing her arms.

"I think it's a bit childish for kids, but just right for students."

Shiina Riki paused for a moment. Riki walked over and asked the other person for two hair accessories. She seemed to be talking to the other person about something, then came back and handed her a panda hair accessory.

"Here's a bear headband for you, Charm +3."

"Well, since you're taking them all, I'll wear them." Shiina Riki put them on her head, and seeing herself wearing bear ears reflected in the window next to her, she couldn't help but laugh.

The little boy eating inside the window was also dumbfounded.

Why are there even pretty women smiling at him?

Could it be that...

Shiina Riki suddenly felt a little embarrassed and quickly walked over to Riki's side.

"Let's go, there are pandas up ahead," Riki said.

"Um."

Shiina Riki followed closely beside Riki with a hint of anticipation, and her face lit up with joy when she saw the black and white pandas on the grass.

"It's a live panda," Shiina Riki couldn't help but exclaim.

"It can't be dead, that would be too scary," Riki said.

"It's so noisy! Japan doesn't have that many pandas. There are 1, 2, 3... so many here!"

I was so excited that I forgot how to count.

Foreigners are indeed quite happy to see pandas. Riki also kept sighing when she saw a white panda next to her, and kept pressing the shutter button on her camera like crazy.

You're a panda pervert, aren't you?

"Want me to take a picture for you?" Riki thought for a moment and asked Shiina Riki.

"Um!"

Shiina Riki nodded, stood by the railing making a peace sign and smiling happily. Riki snapped two photos with her iPhone, capturing Shiina Riki and the pandas behind her.

Shiina Riki looked at the photos and was quite satisfied. Looking at Riki, she thought for a moment and then said, "Hey, let's take one together too, since we're all here."

"This goes against traditional male virtues..."

"Coming over here!"

"Arrive."

Shiina Riki pulled Riki's arm, took out her phone, and snapped a picture of the two of them. In the photo, both of them were smiling, and the panda was happily eating bamboo.

"Pandas are great, carefree," Shiina Riki whispered, looking at the panda. "If only humans were this simple, bands wouldn't be so complicated."

"Is everything alright over there?" Riki asked.

"It's not good at all, not even you are here," Shiina Riki said, then lowered her head and added, "But it has nothing to do with you. After all, this is our band, and it's wrong to rely on you all the time. Everyone is too dependent on you."

Even she herself is one of them.

She's a despicable person.

Even though she kept saying that Riki was just a music instructor, she always thought about it whenever something happened—after all, there was Riki; as long as he was there, there wouldn't be any problems.

So the band broke down.

"Riki, what do you think?" Shiina Riki couldn't help but ask Riki.

Will you blame them?

He's dragging himself into this annoying thing about high school students, even though he's a really capable person.

"Damn it, being completely trusted by a beautiful High School Girl is so awesome!" Riki said.

"... ha?"

Shiina Riki paused for a moment.

Riki patted her head and smiled, "So Rikki can always believe that I'm okay."

Shiina Riki blushed and turned her head, saying, "It's so noisy! I already told you I'm still angry."

However, they did not open Riki's hand.

Just then, Riki noticed her phone ringing; it was Sakiko calling.
