Guitar Hero also wants to play Kasuga Shadow!

AveMujica's first performance is about to begin, and Pochi, who has always been by his side, should also know more about him.

"My father and I were kicked out by the Toyokawa family."

Toyokawa Shoko looked at the apartment she had lived in for a year and spoke slowly, "That was the day of Crychic's first performance. It should have been a happy day... but I..."

At this point, Toyokawa Shoko choked up a bit, not daring to look at Pochi, because she wanted to treat it as if she was talking to herself, wondering if it would make her feel better, but...

"That day... that bastard father... he was clearly drunk, but... he still... insisted on driving..."

At this point, his nails had dug into his palms, just like what he had seen in the hospital that day, "Mother... Mother..."

"Okay, okay, Xiangzi, there's no need to say anything..."

Pochi held Xiangzi in her arms from behind. Her body was so thin but so strong. "Xiangzi... you've done very well, so... it's okay to cry..."

"Is it really possible?"

"Well, you've worked hard..."

Chapter 222: It doesn’t matter, the two of me are the same…

Xiang...Xiangzi, are you okay?"

Pochi looked at Xiangzi who had just changed into casual clothes and asked with concern, "How about... Xiangzi take a rest today..."

"It's okay, I feel better after talking about it..."

She had been trying hard to hold back her tears and asked Pochi to wait outside, but as she approached the door, she couldn't help but fall to the ground, tears dripping down her cheeks.

In the inner room, her father's drunken snoring as usual forced her to hold back her tears, "Damn dad..."

I stood up and wiped my eyes. I didn't have to work part-time today, and since I also had work at Chuhua, I couldn't rehearse for a long time. I had some rare free time, and I just wanted to... spend more time with Pochi...

I was afraid that Pochi would be anxiously waiting outside, and since this wasn't a busy street, Pochi might be the only one outside, so I quickly changed into my most common casual clothes and went out.

"Then...where are we going?"

Pochi also realized that Xiangzi wanted to stay with him, so he took the initiative to ask, "Xiang... Xiangzi, is there any place in particular you want to go?"

"To be honest, I'm not quite sure where to go."

I've been so busy these days, and now I have some free time. I don't even know where to take Pochi. "I'm sorry, but... Pochi, is there any place you'd like to go?"

"The place I want to go..."

Pochi looked up at the sky. It was past six o'clock and still bright. It was indeed the right time to go out and play, but, "I...I'm not sure. Usually, I don't go out that often."

"Well, let's just take a walk, just like a stroll..."

"Ah."

-

"What's wrong? Why haven't you spoken for a long time?"

Chihaya Aine held the mango juice in her arms, biting the straw gently while looking at Su Shi across from her. She herself had the habit of biting straws since she was a child. "I haven't had Ring's black tea in a long time. Are you so touched that you want to cry?"

"I must be crazy to expect you to say anything nice."

Thinking about Pochi, I was stunned for a while, then picked up the black tea again and took a sip slowly. "But it's definitely not as good as the one I brewed myself."

"No matter how good it is, Pochi still prefers mango juice."

Chihaya Aine smiled and took a sip of mango juice, making a deliberate noise.

"you……"

Holding the black tea, he was almost laughing at her, but he couldn't find any angle to refute her, so he could only change the subject abruptly, "Pochi, what have you been doing recently?"

Hearing Pochi's name, Aine spit out the straw in her mouth and supported her head with one hand, "I don't know either."

"You don't know either? Aren't you in the class next to Pochi? Why don't you know?"

"The class next door...it's also possible that they don't know."

Chihaya Aine lost her previous momentum and said, "How about you ask your classmate Toyokawa Shoko?"

"!"

Hearing Xiangzi's name, Nagasaki Suyo's eyes widened and she put the tea she was holding heavily on the table, "You did it on purpose, didn't you?"

"Huh? What? Isn't Toyokawa Shoko your former Crychic teammate? Why don't you ask her what's wrong? It's okay that Tomorin is avoiding her, but what's wrong with you?"

"Tsk, you really... don't know anything."

Seeing the clear stupidity in Aine’s eyes.

"Huh? You know what?"

I knew nothing about the disbandment of Crychic in the past, and I had never heard Pochi talk about what happened in the park that night. I was really not aware of the entanglement between Su Shi and Xiangzi.

"That's enough. I'm going back."

Nagasaki Suyo picked up the coffee and drank it all in one gulp.

"Don't go, tell me what happened?"

Chihaya Aine wanted to keep her, but Nagasaki Motoyo had already walked out with the bass on her back.

"Hey!"

Watching Su Shi walk out of the coffee shop like this, Chihaya Aine lowered her head and vented her inner frustration on the straw in her mouth, "One by one, you don't tell me anything..."

-

"Lixi, why do you always have to send me home?"

Lixi and Deng walked down the street one after the other, as they had done before, not saying much. When they were waiting for the red light, they were side by side. Deng hesitated and asked, "Actually, I can go home alone."

"Why……"

Li Xi turned his head in surprise, not quite understanding why Deng asked this, "That is, I want to send Deng home, what's the reason?"

"But my house and Lixi's house are not close to each other."

While the red light was still on, Deng continued, "Wouldn't Li Xi think it was a waste of time?"

"Of course not!"

After hearing Deng say that it would be a waste of time, Li Xi quickly denied it, but this time, his voice was a little louder, attracting the attention of others.

"Also, if Pochi was here, would you choose to send Pochi?"

"Eh?!"

The topic that he had been avoiding was suddenly brought up by the light, making Li Xi look a little helpless, "But...but Pochi..."

At this moment, the traffic light finally turned green, and other passers-by around him also began to move forward, making Li Xi, who was standing still, seem a little out of place.

Light and Pochi...how to choose?

This kind of question was too difficult for me, like being distracted in class and not understanding what the teacher was saying when I came back to it. Suddenly, the light came on and I was at a loss.

"Just, pretend I never said anything."

Seeing Li Xi's reaction, Deng knew more or less what Li Xi was thinking. Moreover, he was very aware of how cute Pochi was, so he didn't find it strange that Li Xi had such thoughts. "The light is green, let's go..."

"..."

Why couldn't he say anything? From childhood till now, the loathing he felt for himself seemed to have only deepened.

How could I expect them to be so warm in this state? But...but, the only ones who could make me change were Tomo and Pochi...

On one side was the dazzling singing voice back then, on the other was the gentle guitar now. I couldn't make a choice at all. Besides... since we were all teammates in the same band, why was it necessary to make such a clear distinction? A lifelong band meant that I would never be separated from any of them.

Finally facing his own heart, he ran forward a few steps and caught up with Deng who was slowly walking forward, "Deng! Whether... it's you or Pochi, even if it's two of you together, I still love you the same!"

But as soon as he finished speaking, Li Xi stopped beside Deng, wondering why Deng didn't continue moving forward, and looked forward in the direction Deng was looking.

The Pochi he mentioned was walking towards him from the other side of the road, holding another person's hand. The four of them met in the middle of the zebra crossing...

"Clam?!"

223

Chapter 223 Huh?

"Xiang...Xiangzi,"

Walking on the street with Xiangzi, although just wandering aimlessly, I felt very safe, so I wanted to take this opportunity to ask some questions that I couldn't ask normally.

"what happened?"

Xiangzi tilted his head and looked at Pochi with a smile. Similarly, although he was just wandering aimlessly, Pochi was right beside him, within arm's reach, which was the best way for him to relax.

Of course, it would be even better if...the two of them could hold hands...

"that is……"

Pochi scratched his face, knowing that this was a topic Xiangzi had tried to avoid before, "So, what does Xiangzi usually do after school?"

"..."

A little surprised, she hadn't expected Pochi to ask that. Toyokawa Shoko was stunned for a moment, then slowed down her pace, which put some distance between her and Pochi.

But, since I've already said that to Pochi in front of my house, it shouldn't be a problem to confess to him now...

"Just like Pochi thought, I have to work part-time to support myself and my bastard dad who only knows how to drink..."

After a brief hesitation, Xiangzi confessed to Pochi.

"Ah... ah?"

He only knew how to drink... and he called his father a "bastard". This was far beyond my expectations of Xiangzi's condition.

Although judging from the situation we know so far, the word "bastard" is indeed not wrong...

"That's why Xiangzi is so tired. Xiangzi...it's too hard."

"At the beginning, it was indeed very difficult. I didn't know anything before and thought the world would be kind. Later I realized that it was all just wishful thinking..."

I remember when I first wanted to find a part-time job, I wasn’t even a high school student at that time, and it was completely wishful thinking to find a good part-time job.

"There are...some things I can't imagine..."

Pochi, who had a harmonious family and no part-time job experience, really couldn't imagine the pain that Xiangzi went through in the beginning. "I'm... sorry."

"It's okay. This...wasn't really an experience worth remembering."

Coming out of the memories, looking at the shy and worried look in front of him, he couldn't help but smile, "Now, with Pochi by my side, I don't feel tired anymore."

"Really? You can't be so stubborn about this kind of thing."

I am still a little worried about Xiangzi. I still remember when we first met, we almost fought with a vending machine over a piece of bread.

"Well, I'm just relaxing now, right?"

"All right……"

However, before they knew it, they were near the Ring. Pochi, who rarely went out, was most familiar with this place. "How about... how about we sit in the Ring for a while... drink some tea or something..."

Knowing that Xiangzi also liked to drink black tea, but she didn't seem to have many opportunities to treat herself, Pochi suggested, "You've been walking for so long, you must be a little tired, right?"

"Yeah, that's okay too."

Although Xiangzi herself didn't feel tired yet, as she had done a lot of work like distributing flyers when she worked part-time before, but Pochi still had her guitar on her back, so it was time for her to take a break.

"Speaking of which, Xiangzi..."

Sometimes at school, Xiangzi and Deng would run into each other. Although both sides seemed to want to say something, in the end, only silence lingered around them. "Have you ever thought about telling Deng and the others about this? Obviously... none of us did anything wrong..."

"Well, forget it."

Toyokawa Shoko shook her head. "Crychic is never coming back. They have their own new band. Don't cling to the past."

Is... is that so? Every time I see Deng's expression when he meets Xiangzi, I still feel a little distressed.

Pochi is also very cute when she thinks seriously. I kept glancing to the side and observing Pochi's frown, knowing that she was thinking about something related to herself.

But… since we were walking down the street, wasn't I a little too distracted? Although I had almost bumped into a telephone pole just now, I had no reason to say so.

"Pochi, give me your hand."
