Guitar Hero also wants to play Kasuga Shadow!

"Eh?"

Although he was a little confused, he immediately stretched out his left hand and asked, "What...what happened?"

"If you're not paying attention while walking on the road, be careful not to bump into the telephone poles~"

Toyokawa Shoko said with a smile, while reaching out to hold the left hand that Pochi offered, "So, it's okay as long as you hold Pochi's hand."

"oh oh."

Holding hands, suddenly, I felt a little intimate and a little shy.

"What's wrong? Pochi doesn't want to hold hands with me?"

He said this on purpose, knowing that Pochi couldn't say no.

"No...no, it's just...it's a bit sudden. And...it's also the first time I've walked hand in hand with someone else."

"Really? Then...how about this?"

As Xiangzi spoke, he moved closer to Pochi, and not just one hand, but both hands were holding Pochi's left hand, appearing to be even more intimate.

"oh oh."

She let out a small cry of surprise. The feeling of Xiangzi holding her left hand was something she had never experienced before, and... on the street. There were quite a few people walking around Ring, and from time to time, someone would look at her and Xiangzi, which made her blush even more.

I'm... a little shy...

Not only Pochi, but Xiangzi, who took the initiative to hold hands, also felt this way. After all, the person who held hands with him the most in the past was Mu-lao, and that was completely casual holding of hands, which was completely different from what it is now.

Being around Pochi... is so reassuring...

"Pochi? And... Xiangzi?"

Both of their names were called, and Toyokawa Shoko quickly returned to reality from her sweet world of two. Only then did she see Deng standing in front of her, looking at her with a look that was three parts shocked, three parts lost, three parts relieved, and one part angry.

"lamp?"

Pochi, who had been much slower to react, finally came to his senses and looked at the lamp in front of him. However, he couldn't understand the complicated expression on the lamp's face. "What...what a coincidence..."

"Um……"

Deng lowered his gaze and saw their hands holding together. Add to that their smiles just now and their bodies pressed tightly together, and it was self-evident what state they were in now.

"Sorry, I came at the wrong time..."

Deng said this and was about to take a step past the two of them when he heard a voice behind him.

"Deng! Whether it's you or Pochi, even if it's both of you, I still like you the same!"

Li Xi mustered up the courage to say this and stood beside Deng, waiting for Deng's response. After waiting for a long time, she discovered that the two people opposite her were still holding hands tightly.

"Clam?!"

Chapter 224: It would be better this way.

"Why... is Pochi with Xiangzi..."

Shiina Riki seemed to have witnessed the most unbelievable scene. He resisted the urge to rub his eyes and muttered to himself, "Didn't you say... you had something to do? Something... to be with Xiangzi?"

"Uh……"

I hadn't expected to run into Deng and Lixi. Since I wasn't there, I assumed they'd stopped training and wouldn't be coming to Ring. I knew Lixi's shift schedule, and she wasn't working today, but we ran into each other here.

Pochi stood there in a daze, and it was Xiangzi who took the initiative to let go of their hands, which also made Pochi sober up a little.

"Lixi, let's go first."

Deng goes to the same school as Pochi and Xiangzi. He knows that Pochi is hanging out with Xiangzi after school these days. Although he doesn't know what they are doing, he chooses not to ask too much.

But... Li Xi, who was completely unprepared, didn't think so. She turned her head and looked at Li Xi. She had an aura that seemed to want to get things straight now. "We have other things to do, don't we?"

"Huh? No...that's not right..."

He turned to look at Deng in confusion, not understanding why she was so calm. "But I turned down this week's rehearsal to be with Xiangzi just to..."

"Yes, I'm so sorry, I borrowed your Pochi."

Toyokawa Shoko took a step forward and stood in front of Pochi and Riki.

Saying that they both liked each other made Xiangzi's impression of Li Xi much worse. Even if he liked her, saying it in public was a bit too rude. "But sorry, Pochi won't be returned to you until next week."

"Huh? What...what are you going to do to Pochi?"

Seeing Xiangzi like this, Lixi remembered the time when Xiangzi and Deng were so close, but she left without a word in the end, and it was she who hurt Deng the most. Now, with her good relationship with Pochi again, it was hard not to imagine whether she would hurt Pochi again.

"Do you remember what you did?"

Seeing Xiangzi standing in front of Pochi, Lixi also took a step forward and confronted Xiangzi, "You still owe Deng and Crychic an explanation!"

"No...don't quarrel..."

Pochi stepped forward, trying to smooth things over. Xiangzi had already explained everything Riki had mentioned. He wanted to stop the confrontation, but he couldn't get in between them.

"What about you? You said you like both of them equally? Is this how you treat Pochi and Tomo?"

"So what? I just like them, and I want to be with them forever!"

“Okay… okay!”

Gradually more and more people gathered around, and some began to point and talk, as if they were imagining the plot. Bochi had never seen such a scene before.

"Next... next week I will be back, but... Xiangzi needs me for something, and I have received a lot of care from Xiangzi, so... I have to go..."

"What will always be needed..."

Li Xi wanted to say something more, but was stopped by the light, "Mygo is a lifelong band, we're just waiting for Pochi for a week."

Then Deng also looked at Pochi and said the same thing to her, "So, Pochi, please come back soon. Everyone misses you so much..."

"oh oh."

Pochi nodded, not quite understanding. He had been alone since he was a child, and the feeling of being missed by others was a little strange.

……

"Why don't you let me ask further?"

Li Xi was pulled away by the lamp, and his voice could still reach his ears. He could feel Li Xi's concern for him. But... could he really respond to Li Xi's concern?

Just like she said, can I really understand what I like? I have no idea what it means to like someone. If I feel at ease when I am with someone else, then the person I like...

Shoko Toyokawa watched Li Xi and Deng leave. Although she was the one who ended Crychic, she had never forgotten it.

I turned around and saw Pochi with his head down, as if he was deep in thought. "What's wrong? What are you thinking about?"

"It's just... I don't quite understand what I like."

"Like? Don't understand?"

Xiangzi showed a puzzled expression, "If I like you, I like you, right? What's there to not understand?"

"Then... Xiangzi, do you like me?"

Without noticing Xiangzi's reaction, Pochi lowered his head and continued to talk to himself, "I've been alone since I was a child. I don't have many people to talk to, let alone like someone. I don't even know what it feels like to be liked..."

"Or rather... am I really worthy of being liked by others since I'm so socially awkward and don't know how to get along with others?"

"..."

Hearing Pochi say "Do you like me?", Toyokawa Shoko's breath was caught in her throat.

I have never thought about my feelings for Pochi, and when Pochi suddenly asked me this, I was so nervous that I couldn't speak at all.

How should I answer? How can I avoid embarrassment? How can I express my feelings? I can't figure it out...

Then Pochi's next words made him calm down. Pochi didn't understand this kind of emotion even more than he did. In other words, Pochi was really slow-witted.

"Of course Pochi deserves to be liked. No matter who you are, you have reasons to be liked by others."

"Really...really?"

"certainly,"

Toyokawa Shoko reached out and stroked Pochi's cheek, helping her lift her head up, and then tried to give a gentle smile, "I... really like Pochi..."

-

"What?! Why can our Pochi just borrow it like that?!"

Although the lights were turned off, Li Xi was still a little indignant, "I clearly... I just decided on the name Mygo, but instead of practicing properly, I want to get involved with that Xiangzi."

Still not satisfied with what he said, he turned to look at Deng who had been silent the whole time, "Deng, you're right, right?"

Deng walked out with his head down for a while before reacting, "What?"

"……never mind,"

Li Xi shook his head. He was just venting his anger, but now that he had said it, he felt much better than before. But Deng asked, "What is Deng thinking about?"

"I... was wondering, Pochi, who will you like next?"

"Pochi?"

Recalling my impression of Pochi, he seemed rather passive towards everyone, yet he also seemed to have a good relationship with everyone. Even Hailing seemed to get along well with Pochi, but I don't know how they managed it, since they were clearly not of the same type.

In the end, he could only give an ambiguous answer, "Pochi, maybe she doesn't have that in mind. I can't tell who she likes more."

"Really……"

Thinking of the tightly held hands of Pochi and Xiangzi just now, I felt a little disappointed, "It would be best... like this..."

Chapter 225: Come with me.

On Friday, the final two days of rehearsals went on as usual.

At the agency, because it was the first performance, according to Xiangzi's request, the identities of several people had to be kept confidential, especially Chuhua and Miaomeng. The popularity of the subsequent performances would definitely be much higher than the first time.

Fortunately, there were not many seats for the first performance, and if you wanted to buy tickets, you had to answer some questions. Only those who were truly interested in Mujica's worldview were eligible to buy tickets.

In short, the audience who came to watch the first performance must be the ones who are really interested in AveMujica...

-

"Speaking of which, I bought two tickets for a live show. And, even though it's a live show, there's also a stage play. Do you want to come with me, Tomorin?"

Chihaya Aine pulled out her phone and opened the AveMujica promotional page, handing it to Deng, who was sitting in front of her. "Even though it's the last day and they haven't revealed any of the members' identities yet, it looks pretty impressive!"

"Live? Is it... in the Ring?"

I'd basically only seen live shows at Ring, and I assumed the live show Aine mentioned would be held at Ring. But when I saw the promotional interface on Aine's phone, I realized it wasn't the case at all. "Art... Theater? What? Not LiveHouse?"

"Well, a large band might need a large venue like this for a solo performance."

Before this, he wasn't very clear about performances, as Li Xi was generally responsible for that aspect. But he was also a little confused. "But, large venues should be the kind of privilege that commercial bands get, right? They haven't announced the members yet, isn't that a bit too hasty?"

"Then why would Aine want to see it?"

Deng asked Aine, saying that he was not very interested in live performances and did not understand music. Although he was the lead singer of a band, when he went to listen to other people's live performances, he would probably be like a passerby, just listening to the songs.

"It just feels really cool..."

Speaking of this, Aine felt a little embarrassed, a little afraid that her vanity would be noticed by Deng, "Look, there are so few tickets available, and it's a masked band, they look so impressive."

"Yeah, but I know all this too well, so..."

"Okay, I'll go ask Pochi at noon..."

-

"Hey~ Pochi, tomorrow, are you free?"

When it was lunch break, as soon as Pochi walked into the Astronomy Club with his lunch box, Aine couldn't wait to ask.

"Eh? Tomorrow?"

Isn’t tomorrow the day of the first performance? “Sorry… I have other things to do tomorrow.”

"Eh? Are you still busy this weekend?!"

Her expectations were dashed, and Aine collapsed on the sofa, feeling powerless. “I clearly…bought two tickets. I don’t think I’ll have to find Rikki, do I?”
