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

Chapter 138 Gift

A friendly reminder:

High EQ: As requested by everyone, I've written a more detailed version of Aine's storyline at the end of the previous chapter!

……

……

Bai Qiu and Chihaya Aine strolled casually down the street.

Come to think of it, he seems to often hang out in this area with Aine.

After thinking for a moment, Bai Qiu asked, "So, have you decided where to buy the guitar pick?"

Buying just a pick is a relatively easy task.

You can buy it at any musical instrument store nearby.

However, that depends on Aine's plans.

"..."

A few seconds passed.

However, Bai Qiu did not receive a reply from Chihaya Aine.

"Hmm...Aine?"

Bai Qiu tilted her head and looked at the pink-haired girl beside her in confusion.

Because Aine was standing quite close, Bai Qiu simply nudged her twice with his elbow.

"What are you thinking about?"

"Huh? No, it's nothing...!"

Chihaya Aine then spoke up somewhat nervously.

Bai Qiu gave her a strange look.

Ai Yin quickly returned to normal, patted her chest, and said confidently:

"Leave this to me, just come with me!"

Seeing Aine's appearance, Bai Qiu couldn't help but smile.

"But if I change the pick now, won't it feel unfamiliar during the performance?"

Bai Qiu asked with a hint of doubt.

I've heard that some band members, after using the same pick for a long time, are all about the feel of it.

"It will not!"

Chihaya Aine waved her hand.

Then he suddenly looked at Bai Qiu with suspicion.

"Why are you suddenly bringing this up? Qiuqiu, you're not thinking of backing out, are you?"

"Huh?" Bai Qiu was stunned. "How is that possible!"

"That's fine, that's fine..."

Ai Yin smiled with relief.

then.

Following Chihaya Aine's confident declaration.

She turned around and took Bai Qiu to a chain milk tea shop, where they bought two extra-large cups of milk tea.

"..."

She reached out and took the milk tea that Chihaya Aine handed her, with less sugar and less ice.

Bai Qiu took a deep breath.

"Aren't we going to buy a guitar pick?"

Chihaya Aine blinked, a sweet smile spreading across her face. "It's normal to be thirsty after practicing for so long, right?"

This guy is so cute today.

Bai Qiu couldn't help but think of it.

At this moment, Ai Yin's voice is even more refreshing than milk tea.

After that, Chihaya Aine's route seemed to have been planned in advance.

She then took Bai Qiu to some nearby places that she found interesting.

For example, snack shops, toy stores, clothing stores...

In short, it doesn't seem like a place that sells guitar picks.

Bai Qiu couldn't help but have doubts again.

Have I really entered the Chihaya Ayane line?!

at last.

This time.

Bai Qiu and Chihaya Aine arrived at a musical instrument store in the mall.

The two found the shelf where the picks were placed.

The shelves are filled with all sorts of picks, in various shapes and colors.

In fact, different materials, shapes, and thicknesses of picks can also have a slight impact on how the guitar is played.

But Chihaya Aine should know more about this than I do, right?

Bai Qiu thought.

Chihaya Aine then began carefully selecting a pick.

Although today's plan was slightly premeditated.

But it's true that you need to buy a new pick.

Therefore, she is not despicable.

Chihaya Aine thought to herself with a touch of smugness.

Bai Qiu discovered that Chihaya Aine didn't understand as much as he did, so he offered his opinions.

"First, you need to look at the material. Different materials have different feel, like plastic...metal...carbon fiber..."

"Secondly, the thickness and shape of the paddle are also factors we need to consider..."

"Triangular picks are suitable for playing fast tones; round picks are suitable for both soft tones and heavy metal music; rectangular picks are more suitable for playing heavy metal music..."

Chihaya Aine listened, feeling somewhat dizzy.

It turns out there's so much to learn about such a small pick.

If Riki were to give her such a long lecture, she definitely wouldn't listen.

Just then, Bai Qiu said:

"Pick one you like, and I'll give it to you."

"Eh??"

Chihaya Aine, on high alert, repeated in surprise:

"Give it to me...?"

"Don't you want it?" Bai Qiu said with a light laugh, "Consider it a thank you for taking me to so many fun places today!"

"Yes, of course I want it!"

Chihaya Aine blushed slightly and answered with delight.

Bai Qiu actually gave her a gift!

correct!

Bai Qiu suddenly thought of

Since I gave Aine a return gift.

So, shouldn't we also prepare a return gift for the other members of the band?

The lamp gave him a lot of Band-Aids, so it wouldn't be right for him not to reciprocate.

Su Shi prepared dinner for him; although it was a transaction, it couldn't be ignored.

He has now asked Li Xi to teach him composition. Although Bai Qiu wanted to pay tuition, Li Xi disagreed, so he could only give Li Xi a gift as well.

As Bai Qiu analyzed the situation, he said to Ai Yin, "Ai Yin, you can pick the ones you like first, one, two, or as many as you like, I'll give them to you as gifts."

"I'll go look for something else."

"Huh...? Okay, okay..."

Chihaya Aine paused for a moment, then replied somewhat blankly.

Although she was puzzled as to what Bai Qiu was looking for.

But Chihaya Aine was currently immersed in the surprise of Shiraaki saying he would give her a gift.

Stupid, you idiot!

What do you mean by "any number is fine"?

That will break her fingers.

And, and…

A gift is more precious if there is only one of its kind.

Chihaya Aine stood in front of the shelf, her pretty face slightly troubled, her face turning red and white in turns, and occasionally letting out a silly "hehe..." laugh.

The shop assistant looked at it again and again, then decided it was best not to disturb them.

……

Meanwhile, Bai Qiu was also searching inside the mall.

Choosing the right gift for everyone doesn't seem to be an easy task.

When it comes to gifts, you need to consider both their practicality and whether people will like them.

So for a moment, Bai Qiu was also in a bit of a dilemma.

Oh, and he also has a hand cream made by the system.

It is said to be effective in removing calluses from the hands.

But there's only one available. I'll try to get a few more when I get the chance.

Girls would like something like this.
