Sose Confronts Rikki

"It's not about that live performance at all!" Chihaya Anon shouted at Riki, "It's you... why didn't you show up when everyone needed you the most after the live performance failed? If you had shown up then, even if you had made a silly excuse like 'I overslept,' I would have smiled and said 'Well, there's nothing we can do about it,' and then comforted everyone with you."

But where are you?

That's a whole month!

Chihaya Anon pursed her lips, took Takamatsu Akari's hand, and walked forward.

She also... really wanted to believe Riki.

"I never expected that Aine, who is always optimistic, would be the one who was the angrier," Riki said.

"Everyone gets angry sometimes," Shiina Riki said.

"That's true, Rikki has experience with anger."

"Don't make it sound like I only know how to get angry!" Shiina Riki looked at Riki and said, "What are you planning to do next?"

"Of course I'm not giving up. Aine is just angry, she doesn't hate me. Did she just say anything like 'we'll never see each other again'?" Riki said matter-of-factly.

"Lena should be able to easily persuade the five band members to come back, Rikki is on my side too."

Shiina Riki pouted, but did not refute Riki's words.

"Then there's Suze, Aine, and Touka, but Aine has the biggest problem."

"Tokyo is just being swayed by Aine. She definitely still wants to form a band with me and you," Shiina Riki quickly said.

She hesitated for a moment, then said, "There's something else I haven't told you yet."

"What?"

"Actually Aine and Suze... had a fight."

Chapter 123 Su Shi Questions Rikki

Riki and Shiina Riki were walking down the street.

"Did Aine and Su Shi have a fight?" Riki asked.

"Just a few days after the live performance failed, Suze didn't even want to come to band practice because he didn't see you. Aine thought they could continue practicing even without you, but Suze reacted very strongly, and the two of them started arguing and bickering," Shiina Riki said.

Mix mine.

Riki said, "Is that all?"

Shiina Riki stopped and turned to look at Riki, saying, "You are the most trusted person in the band. If you're not here, no one knows what to do. Naturally, everyone is panicking. Su Shi's agitated reaction in this situation will also make the others panic."

"So it's Su Shi's fault?"

"Of course, the biggest problem is still you."

"Were they arguing very loudly?" Riki asked.

"Of course, I've never seen Su Shi get that excited, and then Aine get angry too."

"This is troublesome. The problem lies in the conflict between the two of them, isn't it?"

Riki stood at the crosswalk, waiting for the traffic light to change, arms crossed, looking somewhat troubled.

If it were a band of male college students, everyone could naturally take a more amicable approach and go straight to the ring to fight and decide who's the father and who's the son; but this is the world of Bang Bang, where beautiful girls communicate more through sound channels, but neither Aine Sose are in the mood for that in this situation.

After all, Aine was still angry with him.

Riki felt something warm on his face. He turned his head and saw Shiina Riki pressing a hot coffee from a vending machine against his face.

"Here you go, consider it a token of my appreciation," Shiina Riki said.

"Rikki, you're so gentle," Riki said with a smile.

"Huh? Isn't this normal?" Shiina Riki, then whispered, "After all, you're working hard for the band. What I'm doing is nothing special. Only you could do this... I definitely couldn't."

She had high hopes for it.

Riki has such strong initiative and admirable abilities.

"Rikki has some great things to offer too," Riki said with a smile.

Huh? Where?

"Like right now, isn't Rikki helping me bring everyone back into the band? I'm very Rikki," Riki said.

"Isn't this just common sense?"

"This is no simple matter. For example, Su Shi is the detonator; she certainly wouldn't do something like this. Le Nai also disappears without a trace, and so does Tatsumi..."

"Don't speak ill of the lamp!"

A literary inquisition, is it?!

Is the Empress Akari really your father?

"I really need Rikki right now, thank you," Riki said with a smile.

Shiina Riki blushed slightly and turned her head away, saying, "Well, it's for the band's sake after all, so... you can't leave my side until we find them."

"Certainly!"

My shoulders have been feeling increasingly heavy lately.

What happened?

Tomorrow is a rest day in Tsukinomori, I'll go find Suze then.

Riki thought to herself, and after parting ways with Shiina Riki, she went to the rented room. As soon as she opened the door, she saw Toyokawa Sakiko.

"Welcome back," Toyokawa Sakiko said with a light laugh.

Wow, that's an incredibly strong spiritual pressure from the White Moonlight.

This is exactly what I wanted.

"I made you dinner, sit down and eat. By the way, let me tell you about my recent situation. I'm sure Riki is curious too," Toyokawa Sakiko said with a smile, her blue hair swaying slightly.

I want to kiss again.

Tonight's dinner was quite lavish; I guess Sakiko took out her secret stash of money again. She usually doesn't eat much meat, and this was salmon, no less.

"The piece of fish I gave Riki has more fat, it tastes very good." Toyokawa Sakiko sat next to Riki, her faint yet distinct body fragrance was refreshing.

When will I eat you?

"Sakiko, eat more. You've lost weight again, haven't you?" Riki asked with concern. Toyokawa Sakiko had already lost a lot of weight since leaving home, and if he lost any more, it would cause health problems.

"I ate properly!"

Toyokawa Sakiko looked at Riki and said, "It's just because I haven't seen you in a long time, I often can't sleep."

Riki reached out and grasped Sakiko's hand, which was icy cold.

"By the way, let's talk about the band," Riki said, for this was the key to solving Sakiko's predicament.

"The issue with Chu Hua's management company has been resolved. Although the manager is still somewhat reluctant, the company has agreed. Next, I will personally go and discuss the band's situation with Chu Hua," said Toyokawa Sakiko.

Riki recalled seeing Mikumura Shioka that morning; she had a light smile on her face when she mentioned Sakiko.

She was unaware of Sakiko's situation.

Toyokawa Sakiko lowered her eyes and said in a low voice, "I can't tell Hatsuka, I don't want to tell her, so I must be using her by doing this. I'm a bad person, aren't I?"

She is indeed a bad woman.

It's got me all itchy.

"But I won't regret it. This is the only way. Even if Chu Hua is angry with me, I will do it." Toyokawa Sakiko said in a deep voice.

"It's okay. If she gets angry, I'll explain to her with you," Riki said with a smile.

Toyokawa Sakiko was taken aback and asked, "Did Riki meet with Chu Hua again?"

"I met Rikki this morning when we went to Hanasakigawa. She was hiding behind the gym to avoid PE class and we bumped into each other."

Chu Hua.

Toyokawa Sakiko paused for a moment.

Su Shi was an insignificant challenger to her, not worth paying attention to at all. If it weren't for the unexpected time travel, she wouldn't even have made it onto the track. But Chu Hua was different. Sakiko knew Chu Hua well. She was beautiful, confident, and very proactive, so she knew that Chu Hua posed a great threat. If Chu Hua liked Riki, she could really make Sakiko waver.

The levels of Su Shi and Chu Hua are fundamentally different.

One is a small, insignificant enemy, and the other is the final boss.

However, it seems that Chu Hua didn't have such thoughts about Riki, and Riki didn't either, which puts my mind at ease.

Toyokawa Sakiko breathed a slight sigh of relief, then recalled Shiina Riki, whom she had met at Rikki's house that morning.

Rikki...

"How are things going with Rikki and the band?" Toyokawa Sakiko asked with concern, as Riki was a fellow member of Crychic and she was still very interested.

"It's almost broken, Xiaoyi can only mend it," Riki said.

"Looks like we all have our own troubles," Toyokawa Sakiko chuckled.

She looked at Riki and said softly, "Riki, welcome back."

Toyokawa Sakiko leaned over and kissed Riki on the cheek, blushing and chuckling softly.

Riki paused for a moment, then pulled the surprised Toyokawa Sakiko over and kissed her soft lips.

They've already kissed on the lips, how could they kiss on the cheek?

Sakiko, are you turning back the clock of history?

Toyokawa Sakiko was taken aback, not expecting Riki to do this. Her face flushed red with panic, but she looked into Riki's eyes without saying anything. She simply sat back down on the tatami and whispered, "Next time, remember to tell me first."

Can you kiss me just by saying it?

Can we go a step further?

I want to touch my belly.

"Then... one more kiss?" Riki asked.

"Huh?" Toyokawa Sakiko didn't expect Riki to speak so quickly. She was at a loss for words for a moment before glancing sideways at Riki and whispering, "Mm."

Toyokawa Sakiko tucked her smooth blue hair behind her ear, revealing her beautiful face. She turned her slightly flushed face toward Riki make it easier for him to kiss her, her long eyelashes trembling nervously.

Riki lowered her head and kissed Sakiko's lips again.

Sakiko, initially nervous but now at ease, gently hugged Riki and said, "Welcome back."

She had been waiting for a long time.

"Cough cough, all done."

If they don't stop, they'll start getting physical.

Sakiko is still a high school student, so he needs to proceed step by step.

As for Nagasaki Sose, Riki felt that she had a bit of a lecherous side, which was why she kept trying to seduce him, who was innocent.

The next day, Riki and Shiina Riki waited at the entrance of Tsukinomori.

"If we meet later, I can't guarantee what nice things I'll say," Shiina Riki said, arms crossed.

"I think we should try to control our anger a little," Riki said.

I'm a veteran Gnar player, and I've done some research on rage management. Let me feed a few kills first to see how much rage my teammates have.

After a while, Riki saw Nagasaki Sose and Wakaba Mutsuki come out from inside.

See that? That brown-haired beauty with a full bust and noticeably fleshy legs, wearing short socks, is also my tentative girlfriend.

When Nagasaki Sose saw Riki, her eyes lit up and she ran over immediately. Halfway there, she was so excited that she tripped and fell to the ground.

You tripped and fell on flat ground.

Aside from Liuwa, this is the first time I've seen someone so stupid.

Helpless, Riki went over and helped Nagasaki Sose up. She hugged Riki tightly, her soft body almost pressing into Riki.
