Guitar Hero also wants to play Kasuga Shadow!

"It's really Chuhua! I really didn't..."

The curtain was fully opened, and Chu Hua was seen sitting in the middle of the stage wearing Gothic clothes and feeling somewhat sorry for herself. She was completely different from the feeling she gave me when she was in Sumimi.

The unfamiliar and somewhat curious feeling made Aine excited and she wanted to stand up, but when the spotlight of another exhibition came on, it was like a bucket of cold water poured on her head, and her excited heart instantly calmed down.

……

"You sing really well."

“This is a song my friend likes.”

……

"Po...Pochi?"

Aine looked at the two people standing side by side with some disbelief, her main attention focused on the pink-haired girl.

The mask was almost completely covered, revealing only the upper left side of her face and her right eye. The cape, tie, and translucent sleeves, along with the crimson shorts and black skirt, made it hard to connect the girl on stage with the girl who usually wore a pink tracksuit, but...

Both Aine and Suyo knew that it was Pochi, and there was another one.

"Xiao Xiang..."

Watching them standing side by side on the stage, holding hands under the spotlight, Nagasaki Suyo felt extremely tormented. She couldn't help but start playing with her fingers again.

……

"Is that so? You're going to the masquerade ball too?"

"sister."

"Oh no, the moon has already..."

"Ah, wait a minute!"

……

After the first act ended, Aiyin and Sushi in the audience were still in shock.

Onee-sama? The moon? What the hell is going on? Confused, Aine simply gave up thinking and turned to look at Suyo, "I think I know what Pochi has been doing these days..."

"You're busy being someone else's sister, aren't you?"

Nagasaki Suyo fiddled with her fingers until the skin was broken, but she couldn't stop.

You clearly… you clearly said you were going to save me… you just brought me back to the band, and now you're starting a new band? What's this? If that's the case, why did you even bother looking for me before?

-

Let’s go back to before the performance.

"Well, then, I'll leave the formal appearance on stage to you."

"OK, all right."

Shoko Toyokawa made her final request to the staff. Normally, the band leader was not responsible for the stage effects, but for the sake of the stage effects and to better achieve her own desired effect, she still made the final request even when she was about to go on stage.

"Xiaoxiang, thank you for your hard work."

"It's better to just leave it to the adults."

Miao Meng complained in a low voice, saying that he was already so busy, there was no need to do this kind of thing himself.

"Yes...yes, I always feel that Xiangzi is a little too busy."

Pochi also felt that compared to other bands, Xiangzi had to do too much as a leader.

“Since I’ve chosen this path, I must do my best.”

Xiangzi selectively ignored Pochi's concern. Before he could relax, he turned to look at the mask placed aside and said, "Everyone, please don't forget this."

Everyone stepped forward and got their own mask. The plastic texture was sturdy and the lines on it could be clearly felt.

[Pink heather, I feel, is very suitable for Pochi. ]

Touching the floral patterns on the mask, I remembered what Xiangzi had said. It was certainly the first time I'd seen flowers like that, but just like Xiangzi had said, it suited me perfectly...

"All our anxieties and regrets are placed here. Once we step onto the stage, the only one we can trust is ourselves."

Wearing a mask in the face of Xiangzi's voice, with this layer of protection, I feel much more at ease than before.

"Everyone, enjoy yourself... I won't say such nice things. After all, we're all just birds of a feather."

"Raccoon..."

"So, he's an accomplice, right?"

“That’s terrible~”

"Then let's go..."

"Accomplice... is the strongest relationship, right?"

Pochi muttered to himself, interrupting Xiangzi's words, and at the same time held out his hand, waiting for everyone to put their hands together.

Xiangzi was stunned. He should have been the first to reach out, but since it was Pochi...

"Um,"

The first one was placed on Pochi's hand, "The rest of our lives are here."

Chapter 229 Solitudinis.

"Matcha Buffy."

A familiar voice came, interrupting Li Xi's actions of wiping the cup and interrupting his own thoughts.

"stray cat?"

Looking up, she wasn't surprised at all. She contributed over half of Matcha Buffet's sales. Or rather... this guy paid based on his mood. "Did you bring any money today?"

"Yes, I brought it."

Lenai pulled out a few crumpled banknotes from his pocket, "Yes."

"That's enough,"

Riki took the amount Buffy needed and pushed the rest in front of Lenai, "You don't still owe Matcha Buffy how much?"

"Hmm...how much?"

Lenai narrowed his eyes and thought for a while before asking doubtfully.

"You guy..."

I really shouldn't have expected anything from her. "Just count the remaining money and you'll know!"

"Hmm... originally, how many did I have?"

"Clam?!"

A little excited, his voice was a little high, attracting the attention of other customers in the store, and he lowered his voice, "Ahem... ahem, you guys, is it really okay to pay like this normally?"

"Um...no."

"I'm impressed..."

Li Xi put down the cup he had been wiping for who knows how long and turned to prepare parfait for Lenai, "Let me make it clear first, Rinrinko-senpai is not here, so my parfait may not be as delicious as hers."

"It's matcha, that's fine."

Lenai laid down at the front desk, closing her eyes to rest for a while, but she opened them again soon after, "Hey, why isn't Pochi coming to Ring yet?"

"What did you say?"

Li Xi, who was squatting on the side preparing Buffy, was a little far away, and Lenai was lying on the table, so her voice was not that loud and he could not hear clearly what she was saying.

Ignoring Li Xi, he just lay on the table and tilted his head to look out the window until Li Xi stood up and asked again, "What did you say just now?"

"I miss Pochi."

Lenai sat up from the table and said with a look of disappointment, lowering his head.

"you……"

He stopped preparing Buffy for her and looked at Lenai in front of him. With her head lowered, she looked like a neglected stray cat, which was quite endearing.

"Do you... like Pochi?"

I said this in front of Pochi just two days ago, wanting to know what the stray cat in front of me thinks of Pochi.

"Of course I do."

"What kind of like?"

Li Xi asked as he added matcha powder to his cup.

"I really like it, I really like it."

"I really like it..."

Li Xi repeated it himself, and realized that he had added a bit too much matcha powder, so he quickly stopped, "Then...what about the Matcha Buffet?"

"Hmm...I like it better than Matcha Buffy."

After a brief pause, Lenai came to his conclusion, "But, Pochi has been coming to the Ring less and less. The rest of you have come to train, so why hasn't Pochi come?"

"Eh? Did you see that?"

"Yeah, I saw it. Did you have a fight with Pochi?"

"Fighting? No, no, it's just that Pochi is busy with something. It will be fine after a while."

With that, Riki placed a spoon on the prepared buffy and placed it in front of Lenai, "Here, your buffy."

"Is it really okay?"

Lenai said as she scooped up a small spoonful of Buffy with a spoon and put it into her mouth, "It's so bitter, too bitter..."

"Yes... Really? I'll be more careful next time..."

Li Xi turned his head away embarrassedly, "But, Pochi will definitely come back..."

-

"Hey, hey! What if Pochi goes to another band and never comes back?!"

Chihaya Aine looked at Su Shi beside her anxiously, "Think of a solution!"

"Huh?! Didn't you bring me to this show? Shouldn't you be the one to figure it out?"

Nagasaki Suyo responded irritably, her fingers were a little red and swollen from being pinched.

"But...but..."

Before Aine could say anything else, the curtain on the stage was raised and the second act began.

"Wait...wait a minute, that's Hailing-san, right? And...Nyan Meng-kun?"

Chihaya Aine looked at the stage in disbelief. There were a few more chairs on the stage, which meant they must have moved indoors.

Wearing a mask, Hachiman Hailing paced back and forth, pocket watch in hand, as if waiting for something. Nearby, Miao Meng sat on a chair, constantly looking in the mirror.

On the other side, Pochi sat on the chair without moving, like a doll, and Xiangzi used a comb to comb her hair.

"Tsk..."

What on earth was going on? Snapping his fingers was no longer enough to satisfy Su Shi's strange desire. A gentle bite of his fingers with his canine teeth gave him some relief, and then he stared at the stage without saying a word.

……

"here it is……"

Chu Hua walked from behind the scenes to the front, looking at everyone present with surprise.

"Oh yeah? There's a new guy?"

Miao Meng saw Chuhua's figure through the mirror.

"You still have the scent of a human on you."

Chu Hua received this comment when he passed by Hai Ling.

"Until yesterday I was still hugging you to sleep, but today I am hugging someone else."
