Guitar Hero also wants to play Kasuga Shadow!

I rarely hear the phone beep, but my curiosity has not yet passed, and I am guessing who the message is from.

When I opened my phone, it was Su Shi?

"Come to think of it, Pochi-chan has never been in a band before, right?"

...

Nagasaki Motoyo lay alone on her large bed, staring blankly at her phone. She looked at crychic's homepage over and over again, and the last update was the day after the first live show.

Now when I look back at the beauty of the band back then, I think of the two extra people in the band now.

Then he opened the chat box with Pochi, and the chat history stopped at the day when she last asked him what happened in the past.

Aine stayed because of Pochi, so if Pochi just quit on his own...

"Come to think of it, Pochi-chan has never been in a band before, right?"

"Yeah. I've always wanted to form a group, but I don't have many friends..."

"Is that so... But if he's really good at guitar, someone would probably approach Pochi to form a band.

Xiaoxiang was the one who approached me in the first place."

Sushi...was Xiangzi's initiative? Then her bass skills must be quite impressive. Pochi was still thinking this when the news arrived.

"By the way, even though Pochi always seems to be carrying a guitar, I've never heard him play it."

"Uh..." Even though I was playing guitar just a few minutes ago, I remembered my last time in the music classroom and started to worry about the band rehearsal...

"I...I can't play it well..."

"Really? Then you need to practice more."

Nagasaki Suyo continued to stare at the phone screen expressionlessly, organizing her next words.

"You and Aine both play guitar, right? We'll need to confirm your roles later. Does Pochi want to be the lead guitar or the rhythm guitar?"

Lead vocals? Or rhythm? Pochi, who played guitar alone from beginning to end, never thought about this question.

“When the time comes, discuss it with Aine. I…I haven’t considered this.”

"Oh, one more thing, Li Xi is very strict, whether it's to himself or others.

Especially in music.

Little Pochi needs to work harder."

"Is... is that so..."

The image of Li Xi glaring at me and saying, "Huh?!" flashed through my mind, and I felt a sweat pouring down my spine. Besides, I didn't understand her at all...

“Okay, let’s stop here for now.

I'm ready for bed."

"Sleep...sleep?" Pochi looked up at the time. It was just past ten o'clock, which was still early for Pochi.

"Isn't it a bit early now?"

"I'm not a fan of staying up late~

And if I go to bed early today, I’ll have more energy to face the weekend tomorrow.”

I don't stay up late... That's amazing. My own schedule is so messed up...

"Good night, Nasushi..."

"Yeah, Pochi should go to bed early too."

Nagasaki Suyo turned off her phone and looked at the lights outside the window.

What should I do tomorrow? ...

...

Shiina Riki lay in bed, unable to sleep, or rather, she basically never went to bed at this time.

But... today I finally spoke to Deng, and we formed a new band together. My mind is in a state of flux, and I just want to lie down in bed and calm down.

Staring at the familiar ceiling, that live performance was in my mind.

The stage lights were so bright, and I was finally behind her again, playing drums for her. This time, it wouldn't end like this...

Then I thought of the two new members of the band, two pink-haired girls.

That Chihaya Aine is so annoying. It makes me angry just thinking about her. In comparison, the other one’s name is...what’s it called?

Pochi?

No, no, no, this must be a nickname. What's her real name? I have no idea...

Or... go find the lamp and ask?

Thinking of this, Shiina Riki turned over and picked up his phone. The chat history with Deng was still stuck in last year.

"Tomoe, aren't you coming to practice?"

What I care about...is, of course, whether you are coming or not.

But, how should I start a conversation?

Hello? No no no, that's too distant...

Asking Pochi his name directly seems a bit rude...

I changed and deleted the words in the input box, but in the end I sent out the questions I had always wanted to ask.

"Deng, how have you been this year?"

After sending the message, I kept staring at the 'unread' icon, hoping for a reply. I stared at it for a long time until the phone screen went dark, then I shook my head and put the phone aside.

What stupid thing are you doing...

Staring at it yourself won't make the light come back on faster.

After a while, there was still no movement. I tilted my head and looked at my phone, which was off. The light... should be able to reply...

While he was still thinking this, the screen suddenly lit up, and Li Xi immediately reached out and held the phone in front of him.

"Um."

Although it was just a simple reply, Li Xi still laughed.

Great, Deng...she's doing fine. But what should I say next?

Apart from his family, the only person he usually chats with is Hailing. When chatting with that person, he always says whatever he wants without any politeness.

After thinking for a long time, I still had no clue, so I finally asked the question I wanted to ask at the beginning.

"By the way, what's Pochi's real name? I never knew."

This time it didn't take long to get a reply.

"Her name is Goto Ichiri. She's from the class next door and the only member of my astronomy club."

From the next class... No, wait, the only member?

Does that mean they're alone in the Astronomy Club every day?!

so envious...

wrong!

I mean, can a club with only two people continue to operate? If it were in Hanasakigawa, it would have been disbanded long ago.

Shiina Riki was still daydreaming when another message came from his cell phone.

"By the way, I'm going to the planetarium with Pochi tomorrow as a club activity."

Shiina Riki stared at her phone, reading each word for a long time, and it took her a long time to realize that they were going out to play together tomorrow...

"Clam?!"

Then...what about me?

Chapter 22 Planetarium

"Want something to drink?"

In the coffee shop of ring, Shiina Riki walked to Pochi's table and asked, he had learned last night that the place where Pochi had agreed to meet for drinking lights was here.

"Eh?! Li...Lixi." Although they had made an appointment, Pochi, who was going out on the weekend for the first time, still came here early to wait. He didn't look up until Lixi walked to his side.

"Do you still have to work on weekends?"

"That's right." Li Xi answered expressionlessly, staring at the menu in his hand without even looking up. But...

This is a lie!

Li Xi did not have any shifts today, or rather, he was planning to sleep at home.

But after hearing that Pochi and others had an appointment, he couldn't sit still and hurriedly asked about their meeting time and place. After learning that it was Ring, Shiina Riki came up with his current plan - to pretend to work there and observe them first.

So much so that when Senior Rinrinko saw Li Xi appear in the store, she thought she had misremembered her shift schedule, and Li Xi's explanation was

"It's too boring at home, so I go to work and relax."

Faced with such remarks, the knowledgeable Rinrinko said that she had never seen such things before and let her change into her work clothes.

...

"So, what are you drinking? And you actually came to the coffee shop alone?" Li Xi looked up at Pochi and asked in a silly way, "That doesn't seem like something you would do."

"And...there's Xiaodeng, she should be here soon." Is it okay to mention Xiaodeng's name... Bochi looked up at Lixi and found that he didn't have any strange expression or look of surprise.

Huh? ...What's going on? Li Xi's reaction is so dull.

Isn't she the one who loves the little lamp the most?

I scratched my head, not being able to figure it out as I had no social experience. Then I looked up and asked, "What does Xiao Deng like to drink?"

"Hmm..." Although Deng never revealed her preferences, I had the impression that she often drank "mocha coffee."

"Then...then two cups of mocha coffee."

"Okay, two mochas."

...

"No...sorry for being late."

Because Pochi came too early, although Takamatsu Deng also arrived early, when he saw the two cups of coffee on the table, he felt that Pochi might have waited a little too long.

"No...it's okay."

Li Xi, standing at the front desk, stared down at the screen in front of him, his attention completely focused on it.

"Pochi probably hasn't been to a planetarium."

"Um..."

I've never been to a planetarium either! Li Xi, who had been eavesdropping, thought to himself, should he try to invite Deng to go out with him next time.

Let's go to the zoo to see the giant pandas. No, Deng likes penguins and marine life, so the aquarium should be not too far from the zoo...

Li Xi was still daydreaming when he saw the two people over there stand up. He subconsciously wanted to follow them, but then he realized he was still in his work clothes and hurried backstage, "Go back to sleep!"

"Hey~" Rinrinko also saw the lights and Pochi outside and responded with a smile, "Then you should have a good rest~"

...

Sanjiao Chuhua has been constantly checking various social media platforms for information about Yuqiu recently, but has not found any news about Xiangzi.

He reached out to rub his eyes, but his sunglasses blocked his view.

"Sigh..." Sanjiao Chuhua couldn't help but sigh, and opened the chat history from a year ago again, using Xiangzi's words to cheer himself up.

But...the effect is getting smaller and smaller.

After learning about Xiangzi's news, Sanjiao Chuhua gradually became dissatisfied with just looking at the chat records.

"I really want to see Xiaoxiang..."

Do you want to go find her?

Go to Haneigaoka...
