Guitar Hero also wants to play Kasuga Shadow!

"Eh? Okay."

I took Mu's phone and flipped through the photos in the album. It looked like I had been documenting the plant since the very beginning, from the buds sprouting, the vines growing, the plants slowly wrapping around the frame, and finally the flowers blooming. It was clear he had put a lot of care into it.

"Mu takes good care of them."

"Ah."

This is one of the few things I can do on my own accord...

Continuing to look at the photos, the cucumber flowers slowly withered and the prototype of a small cucumber grew out, growing a little bit bigger as time went by. But then a photo caught Pochi's attention.

The album, which had always been full of cucumbers and no portraits of people, now had someone else in it. Although the photo was taken through a gap in the cucumber branches, it felt clear that it was meant to capture that person—Nagasaki Suyo, who seemed to be walking with other students.

He turned his head to look at Mu, who was sitting on another sofa next to him. She was still staring blankly with her head down, unaware of his gaze and unaware that she had seen the photo.

Come to think of it, Mu and Su Shi are both students of Yue Zhi Sen, and they have been in the same band - Crychic. Moreover, Mu was with Su Shi that night in the park last time, so they should have a pretty good relationship.

But... why was this photo taken from this angle? It's like... a candid shot. Also, I haven't heard anything about the other person from them, so it feels weird.

"So...um, Mu and Su Shi...are they on good terms?"

"Ok?"

Mu, still in a daze, was stunned when he heard the name Nagasaki Suyo. Although he didn't know why, he looked up in panic. Then he saw his phone in Pochi's hand and understood why Pochi asked this question.

Feeling a little uncomfortable, not daring to look at Pochi's doubtful gaze, he turned his head away and whispered, "I don't know either..."

Don’t you know…

If we can bring Sushi back, the band's practice can probably go on normally...

"Um, has Su Shi said anything these days?"

"No, she won't talk to me anymore."

"Eh?"

Even Mu?! "Just... just because Mu took my place on stage and played Kasuga Shadow?"

Is that so? Maybe… but it seems that it’s not just because of this, I don’t understand it either. So Mu shook his head, “I don’t know…”

"Miss, and this guest, it's time to eat."

The maid's voice came, interrupting the strange atmosphere between the two.

"Eh? Is it... time for dinner already?"

Pochi looked at the time on his phone and found that it was still some time before his family's usual dinner time.

"Ah."

Mu nodded. "My parents set a very strict schedule for me. I eat and go to bed early."

"This...is like this..."

But I hadn’t told my family that I would be having dinner at someone else’s house, so I could only send a message to my mother at the last minute.

【I won’t be home for dinner tonight.】

After a while, my mother's reply came.

[Eh? You're not eating at home. Is the band having a party?]

[No, I went to visit a friend.]

[Yes! Okay, I'll tell my dad and sister.]

Goto's mother put down her phone and patted Goto's father who was watching TV with her. "Look, Pochi is visiting a friend's house and is having dinner there."

"Oh, that's good. Isn't that what high school students should be like?"

Goto's father smiled and shouted towards Erli on the other side of the living room, "Erli, your sister won't be home for dinner tonight~"

"Eh?!"

Erli, who was drawing on the small table, put down his brush and ran over. "Sister, why aren't you coming home for dinner?! How is that possible?!"

"My sister is visiting a friend's house."

Mom smiled and handed the phone to Erli, asking her to check the chat history.

"Impossible! My sister dares to visit a friend's house and stay for dinner. It's impossible!"

Although he had seen the chat records with Pochi, Erli still found it hard to believe.

It's only been a short time since I went from being afraid to leave the house and going home first thing after school to now being able to eat at other people's houses? I can't even imagine what it will be like in a few days! Will I still have to sleep at other people's houses?

"Impossible! My sister might have been kidnapped! I need to call and confirm!"

As he said that, he started a voice call to Pochi using his mother's phone.

"No matter what, I won't be kidnapped..."

Mom complained a bit, and then Pochi's voice came from the phone.

"What...what happened?"

"Has my sister been kidnapped?!"

Mu, who was standing by, was stunned when he heard a childish voice coming from the phone, and looked at Pochi with some curiosity.

"Eh?! Kidnapping?"

"Because there's no way my sister would go to someone else's house for dinner!"

"Sister... at least you've made progress, okay?"

But the main thing is that Mu's parents are not at home...

"When will my sister come home?"

"Uh... this... this is it."

Turning to look at Mu, she didn't seem to have figured out what to do after dinner. Besides, wouldn't it be a bit rude to talk on the phone with her family in front of her? "Anyway...it's time to eat. I'm hanging up first."

"Sister, you've changed!"

He hung up the phone amid Erli's shouts and looked at Mu awkwardly, "Sorry... sorry for the joke."

"Who was that just now?"

Mu asked curiously.

"It's... it's my sister, Goto Jiri. She's only five years old."

"Oh."

It turns out that Pochi has a younger sister. I just found out.

The phone call had already delayed him for some time. Pochi pointed to the stairs and said, "Well... let's go eat first."

"Ah."

I picked up my phone from the table, unlocked it, and found the same photo of Su Shi that I had secretly taken. This must have been before Pochi transferred in...

"what happened?"

Noticing Mu standing there looking at his phone, Pochi turned around and asked.

"No...it's nothing."

Following Pochi's footsteps, he tapped the screen and clicked [Delete] under the photo.

This...is not necessary...

Chapter 135: Exquisite Cage.

"Uh... Mu usually eats... really healthy."

The maid did not eat with Pochi and the others. After preparing the meal, she went to do other things.

So Pochi looked at the many vegetarian dishes and a piece of cut steak in front of him, then looked at Mu sitting opposite him, "No wonder... Mu is so thin."

"Well, my parents gave me a specific nutritional diet."

Mu took a small bite of the rice and looked at Pochi. "If Pochi doesn't like it, I'll ask Auntie to make some other ones."

"No... no need."

Pochi waved his hand, "I'm just not used to it."

I followed Mu's example and ate a bite of rice with a vegetable salad. Sure enough, I still prefer meat and fish. But... maybe I eat more and drink Coke more often at home, which is why I'm so much fatter than Mu.

I reached out and pinched my waist, and I could feel some flesh. If it were Mu... it wouldn't be like this.

He looked up at Mu opposite him again. She also noticed his gaze and blinked at him.

Well……

Why did I feel that Mu's dazed look was a little cute? He quickly lowered his head and took two mouthfuls of rice to hide his embarrassment.

……

The food wasn't very large, so they both finished it in no time. They were still sitting at the table, unsure what to do next. But since they were done, it seemed like they should go home.

It was seven o'clock, and because it was summer, it was not completely dark yet, so it was almost eight o'clock when I got home.

"Thank you very much for the hospitality."

Pochi stood up and said, "Then I'll go first..."

"Want to come to my bedroom?"

Before he could even utter the word "go home", Mu suddenly interrupted Pochi.

"bedroom?"

"Yes, on the second floor."

"Second... second floor?"

Pochi looked up at the stairs leading to the second floor. If he just went to play in the bedroom...it shouldn't take too long, so he would go home later.

"All right……"

-

Shiina Riki lay on the bed, without turning on the lights, just in a daze.

It has been a week and I haven't had a single rehearsal, nor have I met with Boqi and Deng. I feel indescribably irritated.

Why did it become like this?

After thinking about it, I can only think of one reason - Nagasaki Suyo.

But if she hadn't found me back then, I might not have joined this strange band that doesn't even have a name yet.

Besides, they said they wanted to form a band for life, but now it has turned out like this...

I turned over and had no idea how to solve the problem.

"Lixi~It's time to eat~Lixi..."

The voice of her sister calling her to eat came from outside the door, but for some reason the second call suddenly stopped. She responded impatiently, "I'm not hungry, you guys eat."

As soon as I finished speaking, my door was opened and the light above my head was turned on. The light was so bright that I couldn't help but close my eyes. "What are you doing? Turn on the light all of a sudden!"

"I was wondering why you turned off the lights at this hour."

Shiina Maki stood at the door with her hands on her hips, "Did you stay up late again? Sleeping here at this time."

"I don't!"

Li Xi adjusted to the light a little and sat up in bed, "Also, don't come into my room without permission!"

"Humph……"

When Maki heard Riki say this, she pouted, "Sister, I finally came home and cooked for you myself, and you have this attitude!"

"Uh... I'll just eat it."

Li Xi scratched his head, knowing that he was in the wrong.

"but……"
