Guitar Hero also wants to play Kasuga Shadow!

"Eh?……"

"Humans are really cruel. How about I hug you?"

……

"Clam?"

Even though I'm a fan of both Chuhua and Miaomeng, I still can't help but question it when I see this development. It's okay to take a look, but... why is Pochi on it too?

Turning to look at Su Shi, she seemed to be more excited than himself. She bit her lower lip and stared at the stage. I don’t know what she was thinking, but... it’s better not to provoke her.

……

"This is where abandoned dolls gather."

Miao Meng teased Chuhua's delicate face in a very ambiguous way.

"A discarded... doll?"

"Oh, are you the unconscious type?"

"That's true! Because humans talk to themselves, they feel like they are human too."

"You... say I'm a puppet? But, I'm clearly alive and well now! Aren't you the same?!"

……

Dolls? Humans? What are they talking about?

He didn't realize that he had bitten his lip and continued to stare at the stage.

Although… there’s no rule that you can only play in one band, but, since I’ve never revealed it to anyone else, it’s hard not to guess that I want to end the band.

Mingming... Mingming just pulled me back from home, and now he's abandoning me like Xiaoxiang did?!

……

"Do you know what death means to a puppet?"

"You mean... abandoned?"

"Burned by fire."

"That's a witch."

“Not being loved by others.”

Pochi rarely spoke.

"Yes, that's one of them."

Xiangzi said, ruffling Pochi's untied hair, "But the most painful way to die is to be forgotten."

"Am I... already dead? Is this our grave?"

"No, I just said it. Our bodies host a short life, which is resurrection! Now is the time to regain power!"

"Then, offer blessings to your new friends."

Pochi stood up as he spoke, as if it was time for the show to officially begin.

"Okay, before the masquerade begins, I'll give you a temporary name."

As he spoke, everyone on the stage stood in front of their instruments.

"Doloris."

As Xiangzi waved his hand and gave Chuhua a new name, Chuhua also put on the guitar.

"I am not afraid of sadness."

"Oblivionis."

As Xiangzi spoke, he bowed to the audience.

“I am not afraid of being forgotten.”

"Amoris."

"I am not afraid of love."

"Tmoris."

"I, fear no fear."

"Solitudinis."

As Xiangzi, or Oblivionis's voice fell, Pochi raised his head and looked at the audience calmly.

"I am not afraid of being alone."

Chapter 230 This time, I won’t lose.

"That's not good~ We're trending so quickly."

After the performance, everyone returned to the preparation room. Miao Meng couldn't wait to take out her phone to check the news about AveMujica.

"It's also number one in click ranking."

Hailing also agreed, and only Chuhua, who already had some experience in these things, handed Boqi a bottle of mineral water.

"Thank you for your hard work. People at the office also said that Pochi's guitar playing is amazing."

"oh oh."

Bochi, still immersed in the atmosphere of the stage, was stunned for a moment before he reacted and took the mineral water from Chuhua's hand, "Well... no, it's still far behind Chuhua."

"It's better to be more confident at times like this."

Chuhua gave him a gentle smile, which made Pochi feel warm.

Chuhua’s smile… is so contagious, completely different from his own. While Pochi was still thinking this, the door of the locker room next to him was opened.

"Ah, Xiaoxiang too..."

Before he could hand over the other hand holding the bottle of mineral water, he saw that Xiangzi had already changed into his previous clothes.

"I've prepared a car for everyone, let's split into groups of two."

Xiangzi said as he walked towards the door. Seeing the mineral water in Pochi's hand next to him, he smiled softer.

"What? Xiangzi changed his clothes so quickly?"

Miao Meng said somewhat dissatisfiedly, "I want to take a picture as a souvenir."

"Ms. Yutenji, please don't forget that we are the Masked Band."

"Eh?~"

Miao Meng's voice was drawn out, showing his dissatisfaction, but it was of no use.

"Where's Toyokawa-san?"

"I wanted to calm down for a bit, so I took the tram back."

Although he said this, he actually didn't want others to know about the situation at home, so he made an excuse to go back alone.

"That……"

"calm?……"

Pochi and Chuhua spoke at the same time, then looked at each other awkwardly and shut up. Although they were both reacting to Xiangzi's words, their emphasis was completely different.

Chuhua's tone was filled with joy and anticipation, while Pochi looked at Xiangzi with some worry.

Xiangzi's eyes also swept across the two people's faces, and finally fixed on Pochi's face, "Well, calm down for a while."

"Then...can I come along?"

Chuhua's eyes widened at Pochi's words, but he immediately returned to his normal expression, waiting for Xiangzi's response.

"Um……"

After a brief moment of contemplation, Xiangzi said, "Well, I'll wait for you outside."

Facing Xiangzi who was about to turn around and leave, Chuhua still spoke somewhat unwillingly.

"what about me?"

"Chuhua, I'm troubled by your lack of awareness of being a celebrity."

After saying that, he turned and walked out of the preparation room.

"Eh~?! What about the celebration party?"

"We'll talk about it next time..."

Chu Hua turned his head and looked at Miao Meng with a businesslike smile.

Next time...when is it?

-

"Why do I feel... a little bit inferior..."

Walking out of the theater, Chihaya Aine lowered her head, her mind still pounding with the shock of the performance just now.

"Isn't that obvious?"

Nagasaki Motoyo frowned as she walked beside Aine. She hadn't really wanted to come in the first place, and now her mood was even worse. "The bands are all different, what are you comparing them with?"

"But...why did Pochi..."

Although I already knew that Boqi knew everyone else on the stage, the fact that he suddenly formed a band without even discussing it with me or anyone from Mygo was a bit too frustrating.

"Is it that... Pochi is not happy playing guitar here with us?"

Nagasaki Suyo also slowly said some discouraging words, the gap in the stage was too big, the gap between commercial bands and amateur bands was right in front of them.

"unhappy?"

"Just like last time, it was Pochi's Solo who saved the day, didn't you realize that even in this Ave... or something, Pochi's skills are top-notch?"

"Seems to be……"

In fact, my attention is basically all on Pochi. Pochi, who changed his clothes, gave me a completely different feeling than before. I couldn't take my eyes off him at all...

"Well, what if this continues and Pochi really never comes back?"

Su Shi stopped and had the idea of ​​contacting Pochi immediately.

"Eh? ...No...No way, after all, it's a lifelong promise."

"Even if he doesn't quit, what should he do if Pochi's training focuses on that?"

"This……"

Only then did Aine realize the seriousness of the situation. If...if Pochi didn't come to training like this week and went to AveMujica to train, then Mygo...

"No, I have to contact Rikki."

As he was about to take out his phone from his pocket, Su Shi stopped him, "What...what are you doing? In this situation, we need to let everyone know."

"Lixi is still a little too impulsive. If she knew, I don't know what she would do."

"so what should I do now?"

"Aren't you in the same school as Pochi? Go ask him on Monday, and don't let Xiao Deng know."

"Is...is that okay? Wouldn't it be too late to wait until Monday?"

Aine's mind was now filled with the desire to ask Pochi in person and to take a closer look at her clothes.

After all, it’s been a long time since I replenished my Pochi energy…

"Well, believe me, I feel the same way as you."

"Eh?"

Are you... feeling the same as me? Do you also want to hug Pochi and have sex? No, now is not the time to think about that. "I... I understand."

"Um……"

After discussing what to do, Su Shi looked up at the starry sky obscured by the city lights, and recalled that rainy day when Xiangzi was soaked and said cruel words, taking Crychic's warmth away from him. No matter how hard he tried to hold on, all that was left was a mess.
