Service Club? Just like you guys, you want to step into the whirlpool of the band?

"Next time, there won't be a fixed time."

So she tapped the floor with the cane in her hand and gave him a meaningful look.

"Don't worry, grandma."

A hint of determination flashed in Ichinose Asaba's eyes.

He naturally understood what the old man meant. Wasn't it just a random check at a random time period? He believed that he would overcome this quickly.

So...the matter of finding Shoko Toyokawa must be put on the agenda.

"Ah."

Immediately afterwards, Tsuzuki Shifune nodded and turned to walk into the house, leaving only Kaname Rakuna and Ichinose Asaba still sitting at the entrance of the courtyard.

"feather"

At this time, Kaname Rakuna tugged at Ichinose Asaba's sleeve again, and looked at him with a wronged face, obviously a little worried.

"What's wrong, Lenai?"

In order not to worry the girl, Ichinose Asaba forced a smile on his face, then gently placed his hand on her head and rubbed it carefully.

"Band, Yu, don't you think it's fun to form a band? Yue/Yi-栮引VII九刘桑尔"

Kaname Lenai did not resist his behavior, but raised her head and asked a question that made his heart tremble.

For a moment, Ichinose Asaba felt that his heartbeat slowed down by half a beat.

This can't go on. If his experience affects Lenai and causes Lenai to resist the band, then he will be blamed for it no matter how hard he tries. This kind of thing will definitely make him regret his whole life and spend every day in self-blame.

So we must prevent this kind of thing from happening, not only for Lenai, but also for ourselves, because of the promise they made to each other at SPACE to form a band happily.

"I'm happy... but I guess there are some difficulties sometimes." So, after calming down, he rubbed Kaname Lenna's head again, then sat down on the steps with the guitar flat on his legs. He reached out and gently stroked the strings, smiling at Kaname Lenna beside him, "I, we are just an exception. In fact, most bands are like Kasumi and the others, so Lenna doesn't need to worry too much."

"really?"

While asking Lena to speak, she had already reached out and took the guitar that Ichinose Asaba had placed flat on her legs, and rested her head on it instead.

"Of course, Lenai wants to form a band?"

A matcha hard candy fell out of her pocket. When Ichinose Asaba saw it, she reached out to pick it up, then peeled off the candy wrapper and put it into Rakuna's mouth.

"I can't find any. There are a lot of them, but they're boring." Kaname Rakuna smiled happily, and at the same time, she took out one for Ichinose Asaba as well. While peeling the candy wrapper, she said, "But if Asaba comes, I'll be happy!"

"Forcing myself to form a band in my current state will only cause trouble to others. Even if you don't care, Lenai, I won't agree to do such a thing myself." However, Ichinose Asaba shook his head after eating the candy, raised his head to look at the glaring sun in the sky, lowered his head and said, "You have to discover the band yourself. If there is really no band you want to join, why not wait and see?"

"With Le Nai's skills, if he continues to improvise at RiNG for a while, he should be invited by many bands, right? Then, Le Nai, you can interview them one by one until you find the one you want."

"Ugh...that's troublesome."

Yao Lenai shook his head dishonestly, obviously not wanting to go through so much trouble.

Seeing this, Ichinose Asaba thought for a moment and said, "If Lenai succeeds in forming a band, how about I make you a matcha feast?"

"I listen to Yu!"

In the end, Yao Lenai couldn't resist the temptation and nodded in agreement.

Chapter 145 Triangle Chuhua: Xiaoxiang, do you have time recently? (4500)

After working from morning until the shift change in the afternoon, Shoko Toyokawa changed her clothes and prepared to go home to rest and taste the discarded bento she brought back from the convenience store today.

With rice and meat, this was undoubtedly a delicious meal for her.

She took the tram all the way to Akabane, which was her new home after moving out of the old Furukawa mansion. It was a small red house, very simple. The whole house was about the size of one and a half bedrooms in her old Furukawa mansion.

She might have been a little disgusted when she first moved here, but now she has really gotten used to it.

When she arrived at the door and was about to open it to face life, suddenly, the cell phone in her pocket rang.

Not understanding who could have sent her a message at this time, out of curiosity, she finally stopped at the door and took out her cell phone.

[Chu Hua]: "Xiao Xiang, how are you doing lately? Are you okay?"

When I unlocked the screen, I saw a message from Sanjiao Chuhua.

“So it’s Chuhua?”

Her originally heavy mood was somewhat relieved at this moment. She couldn't help but smile on her face, and the scenes of the two of them playing on that island when they were children kept emerging in her mind.

And when the recollection ended, she immediately responded in the same caring tone.

【Xiang】: "It's still the same as before. How about Chuhua? Is work going well?"

[Chu Hua]: "It's just ordinary."

Sanjiao Chuhua replied almost immediately, and she just picked a random topic to start the conversation.

【Xiang】: “The two new songs released recently are very nice.”

[Chu Hua]: "Huh? Is Xiao Xiang also interested in this aspect?"

It is not difficult to see how shocked Sanjiao Chuhua was when he heard the news.

[Xiang]: "Of course. Besides, even when you're out and about, you can often hear Chuyue's new songs."

Shoko Toyokawa spoke the truth. After all, where she worked in customer service, Sumimi's songs were often played on the big screen of the shopping mall next door. Naturally, she had heard the two new songs.

But speaking of sumimi, there is a piece of news that she has been curious about for a long time, that is

【Xiang】: "By the way, there is something I am curious about."

[Chu Hua]: "What?"

What is Xiaoxiang curious about?

Sanjiao Chuhua on the other side of the screen thought so and then quickly replied.

Today she went to see Toyokawa Shoko for no other reason than to ask her if she had any time recently. If she did, they could go out for a quick meal together, and she could also explain Ichinose Asaba to her.

After all, she had been planning this for a long time, but had never had time to implement it. Recently, she finally had two concerts in a week, so she had to seize this opportunity.

[Xiang]: "Does Sumi really have a third person? Of course, I'm just curious. If this question bothers you, Chuhua, you don't have to answer it."

However, the next question raised by Toyokawa Shoko was exactly related to her plan.

This made Sanjiao Chuhua both surprised and happy.

[Chuhua]: "Yes! Although on the surface Sumimi is just Mana and I, we were actually three people when we first started, and of course we still are now."

[Chu Hua]: "Including the two songs we recently released, they were also written by him for us."

Since Ichinose Asaba had previously said that he wanted to keep it a secret, she did not reveal his identity directly here, but planned to wait until the two of them met before telling her.

After all, as long as two people become friends, it doesn’t matter!

[Xiang]: "He? The third person of s翼琳齐8（四）齐咝污六umimi...is he a boy?"

After seeing the message sent by Sankaku Hatsuka, Toyokawa Shoko was stunned for a moment.

Well, now she finally understood why Sumimi had been unwilling to disclose the information of the third party.

After all, Sumimi is a girl idol on the surface, so it would be a bit inappropriate to suddenly add a boy in.

But...is this actually true?

It was really surprising... After all, Chu Hua had never mentioned it to her before.

No... You can't think like that.

After all, even if we are friends, you can't tell us everything, right?

Toyokawa Shoko shook her head, and after realizing this, she continued to look at her cell phone, because Sanjiao Chuhua had sent her many messages, and it had been ringing non-stop since the beginning.

[Chu Hua]: "Yes, they are very important friends, just like you, Xiao Xiang."

[Chu Hua]: "Speaking of which, I wanted to introduce you two to each other before, so if you have time, Xiaoxiang, would you be willing to meet me? This is also the reason why I came to see you today."

[Chu Hua]: "After all, it's been a while since we last met, right?"

""

Looking at the message from Sanjiao Chuhua, the sudden enthusiasm made it difficult for her to respond for a moment.

Do you want to agree?

But considering her current condition, it is indeed not suitable for a meeting, right?

After much hesitation, she finally chose to refuse, or rather postponed it for a while, and replied

【Xiang】: "Sorry, I'm not very convenient recently."

She had her reasons for refusing. After paying the penalty for breach of contract last time, she didn't have much cash on hand, so she could only rely on high-intensity work to make a living recently.

So even if we want to meet, we have to wait until next week, which is the end of the month when the convenience store pays salaries.

As for meeting the third person, Sumimi...to be honest, she wasn't very interested.

If this had happened before, when the band hadn't disbanded, she might have been interested in the other party's composing talent, but now... forget it.

""

She looked down at the two scars of different sizes on her hands, and her dress that had faded and turned white from being washed so many times, and her eyes revealed a hint of unwillingness and confusion.

Yes, now that she is overwhelmed by life...she is temporarily not qualified to talk about the band...or even music.

[Chu Hua]: "It doesn't matter. It's not too late to come out when Xiao Xiang has time. I will always be waiting for Xiao Xiang."

Fortunately, Sanjiao Chuhua's reply finally made her feel relieved.

This way she has time to adjust.

At least, you can't let the other person see your embarrassment when you go to a date.

【Xiang】: "Thank you, Chuhua."

【Xiang】: "Then see you later. I'll get in touch again."

So she decisively ended the conversation and prepared to think carefully about how to deal with this matter.

[Chu Hua]: "Well, take care of yourself!"

Similarly, Sanjiao Chuhua did not persist.

"Take care...of yourself."

Looking at the last message sent by Sankaku Hatsuka, Toyokawa Shoko showed a bitter smile at the corner of her mouth.

The sentence that seemed the most insignificant in the past now seems to be the most difficult to accomplish.

But even so, she would never return to the Toyokawa family, nor would she return to that cage to seek help from the people inside.

She wants to achieve and prove her own value step by step without relying on anyone else.

This was something she had already decided upon since she moved to Akabane with her father a year ago and quit the band.

Click...

After confirming her inner thoughts again, Shoko Toyokawa resolutely pushed open the door of her residence.

"I'm back"

When she arrived at the entrance, she skillfully took off her shoes and changed into the slippers beside her.

But apart from the sound of cans falling and rolling in the room, no one could respond to her words "I'm back."

The pungent smell of alcohol in the air made her frown subconsciously, and her eyes were fixed on the innermost bedroom.

Because just now, she suddenly heard a sound of vomiting coming from inside.

“It’s like this again.”

Even though she had become accustomed to this kind of thing a year ago, she still couldn't help but feel some psychological resistance every time she encountered it.

After all, she had to clean up the vomit afterwards. In the summer, especially without air conditioning, the fermentation-like smell was so bad that it could kill her even with a mask on. However, this was something she had to deal with because the man lying inside was her father. As a daughter, she had to take on this responsibility no matter what.

""

Just like that, before she had time to rest when she got home, she put on her "equipment" and rushed to a new battlefield.

Soon, it was the next day, which was the weekend.

On Sunday, Ichinose Asaba returned to Chiba and did not go out to do other things. Instead, he chose to have a good rest at home for the day. It was not until the afternoon that he hurried to Fanxing in Shimokitazawa and began his working life that lasted until night.

Today, Ijichi Hongxia did not ask for leave to go out, but came to Fanxing early to report with the other people who had finished the band.

Everything was the same as before. When things were busy, the four of them would help each other out, running around. When they were not busy, they would just find a place to sit down and discuss how to rehearse next and the subsequent band activities.
