"Here it comes!" Lixi tapped her drumsticks and counted the beats. After that, everyone started practicing again.
Across from them, the Dong Brothers group was also taking a break from practice.
During this short break, everyone decided to just go to RiNG's front field for some tea. After all, spending time together is more enjoyable.
Come on, everyone! (Part 4)! After the Dong Brothers group arrived at the front of the stage and all the tea and snacks were served, Aine couldn't wait to ask Taro, "Taro, is there anything planned after practice?"
Of course, she was asking a question she already knew the answer to. She had checked the schedule and knew that Taro didn't have any plans for the time being. After Taro answered, she would naturally invite him to go on a date.
Upon hearing Aine's question, Taro picked up the black tea on the table, took a sip, then put it back on the table, slightly raising his head as he said:
"Unfortunately, I have an appointment with a lady at 3 p.m., so I'm not free this afternoon."
"Hey hey hey hey hey—" Ai Yin slammed her hand on the table in disbelief, drawing the attention of everyone in RiNG.
She then realized her lapse in composure, smiled apologetically at everyone in the restaurant, and then sat back down, feeling embarrassed.
After doing all this, she lay down on the table and asked in a low but aggressive voice, "What exactly happened? I haven't heard of this."
Ruomai, standing to the side, excitedly placed her hands on the table: "That's right! We've never heard of anything like this before!"
She leaned down excitedly to look at Taro, her chest heaving slightly in the air, but Taro didn't even look at her. He picked up his tea, took a sip, and said, "I don't remember having any obligation to tell you!"
Upon hearing Taro's reply, the two of them sat back down in their chairs and sighed helplessly.
The two men retreated in perfect sync, sat down in the chairs in perfect sync, and then thought to themselves in perfect unison, "Taro/General. He really doesn't understand people."
Lena lay on the table, her head resting on her arm, her other hand poking at the matcha parfait with a spoon, idly digging in, her eyes curiously watching the three people.
Hai Ling took a sip of the ginger cola she had ordered. She sighed softly. Why did they have to put on this romantic comedy in front of her? Would she have been better off just walking away?
"Then, may I ask? Who is that lady?" Ai Yin helplessly shrugged, secretly praying that it wasn't a case of her rival getting another love interest.
Taro crossed his arms and legs, leaning back in his chair as usual, and said calmly, "You might know her. Her name is Anwa Tendo."
Aine pricked up her ears as soon as she heard "her," but when the names An and Tendo came out, she didn't react. However, Ruomai exclaimed in surprise:
"Anwa Tendo!? Is that Anwa Tendo? The one from 'The Detective Granny's Case Files'?"
"Yes, it's her." Having received Taro's confirmation, Ruomai said with great anticipation:
"I know this person; she's known as a national-level actress. She even came to our school to give a lecture before. She's an incredibly talented person."
"Really that Anhe Tiantong?" Even Hailing was a little moved.
Taro nodded again, confirming his suspicions. Aine gasped, puzzled. "Making outstanding contributions to global warming," she said.
"Her topic on Twitter is incredibly popular. How does Taro know such a famous person?"
"It's a long story," Taro said slowly. "Do you know what it is? The 'Detective Granny's Case Files - The Float Murder Case'."
"That OVA that won the Best Cinematography award?" Ruomai recalled with some confusion, "I remember that time, the director himself went on stage to accept the award...?"
"If you know the answer, that makes things much easier. Just look at the staff list for that show, and you'll know for sure!"
"Um—" Aine said a little shyly, "Taro~ if it's okay, could you take me with you? If it's okay, it would be great if I could take a picture with her."
"Me too! Me too!" Ruomai excitedly raised her hand and said, "I've liked her for a long time, is that okay?"
"Ahem..." Hai Ling cleared her throat, trying her best to remain calm, and said, "If possible, please let me join as well."
"Looks so happy, I want some too. 弍〕玖起刘鸠摇散〦扒刘"
Lena stuffed a bite of parfait into her mouth, revealing a satisfied smile. Looking at the bustling crowd, she smiled even more happily.
"Um... let me ask." Taro simply took out his phone and sent a message.
A moment later, Taro's phone rang. Looking at everyone, Taro said, "I asked Anwa Tendo if I could bring the band members, and she replied. But she refused!"
"Ugh... There's nothing I can do about it." Aine felt all her strength drain away and slumped onto the table.
"Then, could you bring me an autograph?" Ruomai asked.
“Me too! Bring me one too.” Ai Yin immediately chimed in.
"Um, if you can, could you please give me one too?" Hai Ling asked somewhat shyly.
"Me too," Lena said, finding it amusing and joining in the fun.
Taro glanced at his watch and calmly said, "It's almost time, servants! Let's continue the practice!"
"Isn't that Taro?" At that moment, a cheerful voice came from the direction of the voice, and everyone in the Dong Brothers subconsciously looked towards the source of the voice.
A blue-haired girl appeared before the four of them with a smile and waved to them.
Hikawa Hina—Aine recalled yesterday's conversation and couldn't help but feel a little wary of her.
She had just come out of Mygo's practice room when she unexpectedly saw Taro.
Lena's little nose twitched slightly. She looked up at Hina's head, tilted her head slightly, and then stretched her legs forward, landing on the ground.
Then he quickly bypassed Hina and headed towards the practice room.
Hina didn't seem to care much about her actions. Rather, she only had eyes for one person now, and she walked towards Taro with a smile.
Then, looking down at the cup, she said with a smile, "Really, Taro always likes to drink this kind of black tea."
She picked up Taro's cup and saw that the black tea, which was only half full, was still full of undissolved sugar cubes.
"Can this stuff even taste good?" Rina looked at the glass, her smile growing even brighter: "Yoshi, let me try it."
Without waiting for anyone else to react, he drank all the remaining black tea in the cup.
"It's so sweet, it tastes awful." She stuck out her tongue, clearly unable to accept the sweetness, her brows furrowed. "What is this? It's not sweet at all."
"Um...? Hina-san?" Aine's eyes widened. Sure enough, something was off. She seemed like a completely different person.
"Ah, everyone's here too." Hina seemed to only just notice everyone now, and with a hint of surprise, she put down her cup, gave Aine a hug, and then said:
"Little Aiyin, long time no see! Want to go play together this afternoon?"
Aine's inner unease was almost overflowing, and she forced a smile as she said, "Long time no see, Hina-san."
"I'm sorry, Aiko and I had plans to go out together." Wakame affectionately put her arm around Aine's shoulder, pushing Hina aside as if asserting her ownership.
Nice, I'm saved, Ruomai!
"Really? That's a shame." Hina smiled, hands on her hips, not particularly bothered by what Wakame said. "Well then, my time is almost up. See you next time, everyone."
(Voiceover: Drifting, drifting, swaying with the waves. What kind of happy ending is the goal?)
The four members of the Dong Brothers watched Hina leave. Wakame immediately let go of her hand, and Hailing shivered, saying softly, "I have a feeling that something is not quite right."
"This is more than just a little strange, isn't it? What do you think, General?" Ruomai complained loudly, then looked at Taro.
Taro nodded slightly and shouted loudly, "Alright! Attendants! It's time for practice!"
"Hey, is this practice time?" Ruomai couldn't help but facepalm.
"It's time to practice, so let's practice!" Taro laughed arrogantly. "Servants! Slacking off is absolutely forbidden! Hahahaha!"
Sigh x3
The three members of the Dong Brothers group couldn't help but sigh in unison.
"So let's get the party started"
Eve: Next time, next time.
Momoi-dono is about to meet that famous actor! He can ignore Hina-san's unusual behavior...
I understand! This is the heart of a samurai! As expected of Lord Momoi! But... there's something strange about this meeting of the three of them.
#22 Anwa Tiantong.
That's the kind of story.
Thank you for watching! Everyone, let's do it together! 1~2! Bushido!
#22 Anwa Tiantong
This happened this morning—
Rencai said goodbye to everyone yesterday and went back to her room alone to think a lot. No matter how she thought about it, she still had some doubts about everyone's attitude.
It wasn't about Momoi Taro helping with the laundry, but rather about An and Subaru leaving the team.
Therefore, after careful consideration, Renna decided to talk to Momoka first thing the next morning.
So, early in the morning, Rencai opened the door to Taoxiang.
boom--
The loud noise woke Momoka, who was still in bed. She looked sleepily at the door and saw Nina standing there with her hands on her hips, looking very aggressive.
"What? It's 'Rinna'." She mumbled sleepily, then closed her eyes again. "Keep your voice down, it's a rare holiday."
With a menacing air, Nina slammed the door shut, strode over to Momoka's bedside, and said righteously, "Please get up!"
Momoka remained asleep without responding. Nina took a deep breath, leaned close to Momoka's ear, and shouted loudly, "Please—wake—up—!!!!"
After a chaotic scene, Momoka was finally woken up by Nina.
"Really..." Tao Xiang sat on the bed, picking her ear with her pinky finger in dissatisfaction: "You don't have to be so loud, do you?"
"If you don't shout so loudly, will you get up, Momoka-san?!" Nina said with great momentum.
"Well..." Momoka hesitated for a moment, then said, "She'll get up, I guess...probably."
"Look at yourself, you're so vague!" Nina said, hands on her hips, her voice rising. "And what did you mean by 'Nina' just now? Are you disappointed because of me?!"
"Well...that's true to some extent." Momoka crossed her legs and casually spread her hands, saying, "If possible, I'd prefer a handsome guy to a loud woman barging into the room..."
“Mo! Mo! Ka! San!” Nina called out each word clearly, pressing her body down to press close to Momoka’s face.
Tao Xiang also stepped back to avoid it, raising both hands in a French military salute: "Just kidding, just kidding—"
"So, what brings you here?" Tao Xiang yawned, then straightened her expression slightly.
"I've thought it over! I definitely need to talk to Subaru about it."
"Explain what?"
"About leaving the band!" Nina said even more firmly, "I really need to make things clear. Not giving a reason makes me really unhappy."
