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

"Hmm? What's wrong Kasumi?"

If you want to ask her about the band, she doesn't really know.

"The band Qian Yu used to be in, I remember he showed off to us, it was called crychic, right?"

Kasumi Toyama's face almost occupied the entire screen, and the background changed from the street to the clear sky. It seemed that she was looking down and searching for something.

"Yes, that's the name."

Yamabuki Saya nodded.

crychic, I remember that except Qianyu, there seemed to be a group of girls. She had watched the videos uploaded on the website before.

Their skills and level are much better than when they first started, especially the keyboard and guitar.

"crychic's account." Just as Yamabuki Saya was sighing, Toyama Kasumi's expression on the other side of the screen became increasingly serious. "It seems like a year ago... Eh! Has there been no update in a year?"

At the end, she even screamed in the street. After causing dissatisfaction among passers-by, she could only smile foolishly, apologize, and quickly ran away.

"A year?!"

She wasn't the only one who had this reaction, because Yamabuki Saya was also shocked when she heard the news.

If a band hasn't updated their news for two or three months, she might assume that the live performance wasn't ideal, so they didn't want to upload it, or that they were taking a break due to academic issues.

This is what she thought when she saw that crychic had not been active for a long time. In addition, she could not contact Ichinose Asaba during that period, so she thought that the entire crychic band was preparing for the entrance examination, so she did not pay much attention to it.

As for why she couldn't contact Asaba Ichinose later, she still didn't think much about it, but always thought that he was busy with the commercialization of the band. After all, crychic had taken on many activities and commercial performances before, and he had heard Asaba Ichinose complain more than once about how troublesome and tiring such things were.

Yingqi Yisan Er II Jiu (Part 2) But now it seems that... a band that has not updated its status for more than a year, unless it has completely given up on online activities, otherwise... it is very likely that it has disbanded.

As a friend, she actually hopes that crychic's current status is the former.

But... hardly any band would start an online presence, right? Especially a band like crychic who wants to go the commercial route... is it really possible for them to do something so self-destructive?

I believe that anyone who is not stupid can see the problem here.

"Do you want to ask Qianyu?"

At this moment, Toyama Kasumi's head suddenly twitched, or maybe she was too concerned, and she said this sentence without thinking.

"Idiot!" Upon hearing this, Yamabuki Saya couldn't help but tap the phone screen with her jam-stained hands. She was a little helpless but also very serious. "It's obviously best not to ask about this kind of thing! Or at least wait for Asaba to bring it up first."

After all, if crychic really disbanded, wouldn’t it be like rubbing salt into the wound if they continued to say these things?

They were such a strong band...why did they disband?

It shouldn't be possible with Qianyu here. Could it be that they are against commercialization?

She really couldn't figure this out anyway.

"Hey hey... hey..."

After being hit by Yamabuki Saya through the screen, Toyama Kasumi reacted and realized how outrageous her idea was, and she showed a very forced smile, which was completely fake.

The thought of the band disbanding was enough to make her feel suffocated.

After all, the topic itself is very heavy.

"Then don't ask."

She said with a complicated look.

Yamabuki Saya nodded, with an expression that said, "That's right." Then she checked the time and said, "I'm going to hang up the video now. Otherwise, I'm afraid Asaba will run away if we keep going on for too long."

Another thing is that jam doesn’t taste good once it gets cold.

"Then Saaya, don't forget the photos! Photos!"

Kasumi Toyama quickly adjusted her mood and at the same time did not forget to emphasize the matter of the photo twice.

I haven't seen her for over a year, so it would be a lie to say I don't care how Asaba Ichinose is doing now.

After all, Ichinose Asaba can be said to have made an indelible contribution to the successful establishment of PoppinParty.

"That depends on Qian Yu giving me a chance. Anyway, that's it for now. I'll go back after I finish my work at the branch tonight."

Yamabuki Saya nodded and said that she would definitely find a way to take a photo.

In fact, she would do this even if Toyama Kasumi didn't tell her.

"Well, see you at school tomorrow!"

Toyama Kasumi waved her hand, perhaps knowing that Yamabuki Saya was not in a position to take action, so she hung up the video call directly after she finished speaking.

""

There was no other sound around except her own breathing, which made Yamabuki Saya feel unhappy. After all, crychic's experience was really...

While she felt deeply regretful, she also felt a little distressed about what happened to Asaba Ichinose.

Unable to think of any way to comfort her, she had no choice but to pour the remaining half bottle of jam on it, to make it a little sweeter.

As for the question of whether it is choking or not, in fact, Ichinose Asaba could even finish a whole bottle of jam before, so there is no need to worry about it.

"What is going on?"

As Yamabuki Saya spoke, she picked up the plate and walked out the door. During this time, she kept adjusting her emotions to make the smile on her face look less forced.

Meanwhile, inside the store.

"It's delicious! Hey, Onii-chan, how about we get a membership card at this restaurant?"

Hikigaya Komachi, who had already eaten two servings of chocolate cake in a row, still felt a little unsatisfied after wiping the cream from the corners of her mouth.

"This kind of shop is usually very expensive, but if you really like to eat..."

As expected of a sister-con, even when faced with such a willful request, Hikigaya Hachiman only felt sorry for his wallet for two seconds before making a choice.

But just as he was about to take out the money, Ichinose Asaba suddenly reached out to stop him.

"what happened?"

Hikigaya Hachiman was a little confused.

"Is that so? Then Onii-chan, can you buy Komachi a cake every day after school?"

After hearing this, Hikigaya Komachi on the opposite side immediately looked at Hikigaya Hachiman.

This was the first time she had heard of a bakery without a membership system. However, this indirectly proved that the shop did not need to use such means to retain customers, as the taste of the food itself was the most important.

"Are you trying to eat me up?"

Hikigaya Hachiman glanced at his shrunken wallet; the few scattered coins inside seemed to be mocking his incompetence.

One piece of cake a day is not enough for him even if he has pocket money. He will be bankrupt in two weeks at most.

"Pfft, it was just a joke, Onii-chan, why do you take it so seriously?"

After noticing her brother's embarrassment, Hikigaya Komachi appropriately gave up the idea of ​​continuing to play tricks on him.

However, just as she was about to get down to business, that is, to complete the task entrusted to her by Mana Junda and Hatsuka Sanka, suddenly, a girl who was also wearing the work clothes of this store appeared in her sight.

The other person was holding a plate covered with jam... What was that, a cake covered with jam? Or bread?

It should be a cake.

It was hard to see clearly if you didn't stand up, but anyway, the girl holding the plate was walking straight towards them.

For a moment, she couldn't help but feel a little curious. Who took the time to order two more cakes, since no one had left their seats the whole time?

But her doubts were soon answered because

The familiar aroma of pineapple and the familiar voice made Ichinose Asaba unable to react at all. She instinctively reached out and picked up the knife and fork on the tray, then habitually said thank you, "Thank you, Saaya."

However, when he cut a small piece of bread and was about to taste it as before, he suddenly realized something was wrong.

2 Dark Emu (Yi (Three) 0 Dad eZr Sha Ling?

"Sa Ling?"

Ichinose Asaba suddenly realized something and turned his head to look to the left.

Then, he saw Yamabuki Saya, who was standing next to him with her hands on her hips, looking at him with a smile. "What's wrong with you? Why are you making that face like, 'Why am I here?' I've actually been in the store for a long time. I was even startled when I saw you, Asaba!"

""

Ichinose Asaba didn't say anything, but was wondering if everything he saw was some kind of illusion.

"Why, after not seeing you for over a year, are you going to pretend you don't know me now?"

P.S.: Adjust your work and rest! Ahhhhhh! Can anyone give me some monthly tickets and blades? Thank you so much. I forgot to draw the lottery while typing today. The draw will be held at 9 o'clock every night!

Chapter 81: Haneyama's transfer student, keyboardist, and vocalist. (6200 words)

what's the situation!

Yamabuki Saya's sudden appearance undoubtedly interrupted her original plan. Looking at the tacit conversation between Ichinose Asaba and the other party, Hikigaya Komachi suddenly poked Hikigaya Hachiman beside her with her elbow out of some curiosity.

how could I know.

Hikigaya Hachiman shook his head, indicating that he didn't know what was going on.

It has become muscle memory, and you can tell I eat a lot.

The two communicated with each other through eye contact throughout the whole process without making any movement.

Elsewhere, after briefly speaking to Ichinose Asaba, Yamabuki Saya found the perfect moment to look at the two of them and said apologetically, "I'm sorry for interrupting your conversation just now. As compensation, consider these cakes my treat today."

"No, no! How can I do that... Honestly, there's nothing to apologize for."

Hearing this, Hikigaya Komachi quickly waved her hand to refuse. After all, in her eyes, there was really no need to apologize for such a small matter, especially when the other party was a friend of Ichinose Asaba.

"Pfft, it's okay." Somewhat touched by Hikigaya Komachi's frankness, Yamabuki Saya couldn't help but smile. Her light brown high ponytail and the bow hair accessory on top of her head shook together. Then she said seriously, "Let me introduce myself. My name is Yamabuki Saya. I'm sure you two are also friends of Asaba, so if that's the case, there's no need to be so polite."

The warm light above their heads shone, and from the angle at which the three of them were sitting, Yamabuki Saya's smile seemed to be shining.

Has your personality changed at all?

But it's pretty good.

Ichinose Asaba couldn't help but keep his gaze on her for two more seconds, and then he sighed silently in his heart.

"Hey, Yamabuki, could this be the bakery?"

At the same time, after hearing Yamabuki Saya's last name, Hikigaya Komachi quickly associated it with the name of the store.

Yamabuki Saya, Yamabuki Bakery, could it be that the other person is actually the manager of this shop?

It's so young, could it be a family business?

"That's right, it's just what you think, so don't worry, just let me treat you."

Seeing that Hikigaya Komachi seemed to understand something, Yamabuki Saya winked at her.

"Since she has said so, you two should just accept it with peace of mind."

After about a year, I tasted this flavor again, and I really felt... a little nostalgic.

"Yeah, Qianyu is right."

Yamabuki Saya nodded and took out the mineral water that she had prepared in advance from the pocket of her apron. She held the bottle and gently tapped Ichinose Asaba's arm, and looked at her with a small expression, as if to say, take it quickly, you're welcome~.

Asaba Ichinose was a little surprised. She didn't expect that Yamabuki Saya would even consider this.

What else could he do? He couldn't let Yamabuki Saya hold the water like that, so he could only reach out and take the water, then drink two sips without hesitation.

"Then... Komachi and Onii-chan will definitely come here more often!"

Ugh! Yamabuki-san was just handing Ichinose-san a bottle of water, so why did she suddenly have the urge to do it?!

No, no, Komachi, you must stand firm and don't let down Sister Mana and Sister Hatsukawa!

After saying this, Hikigaya Komachi quickly reached for the gift in her pocket, trying to divert her attention to get rid of the strange thoughts in her mind.

As for Hikigaya Hachiman beside her, he had actually turned his gaze away a long time ago.

Tsk, now charge.

He couldn't help but complain in his heart.

"Really? Thank you so much for your support. Yamabuki will release more new products in the future to give back to everyone!"

Like a conditioned reflex, Yamabuki Saya subconsciously changed her tone to a business one, not realizing that her concern for Ichinose Asaba had changed its meaning in the eyes of the two.

In fact, even if she knew, she would not feel embarrassed, because friends should care about each other.

I remember that in order to allow her to concentrate on practicing with Toyama Kasumi and the others, Asaba Ichinose even took out her rest time to help out in her family's bakery. This lasted for a whole month until their PoppinParty was able to perform on stage without any mistakes.
