Guitar Hero also wants to play Kasuga Shadow!

After zipping up Pochi's pants, he felt awkward about where to put his hands. He adjusted his hair out of habit, then turned his head to the side and spoke in a low voice.

"oh oh."

Pochi nodded, not quite understanding.

"So, next time I'll stay over at Pochi's too, okay?"

As soon as Pochi responded, Aine couldn't wait to say, "You can go to my house. Pochi has never been to my house before."

"Eh? Can...can..."

He already had a lot of experience, and there was no reason for him to refuse Aine, but then he thought about AveMujica. "AveMujica... Shoko invited me to go."

“I still know this~”

Pochi agreed to stay the night, and Aine was a little happy. "That's why she invited Pochi even though she knew he had a band."

"Xiangzi, she..."

Yeah, whether it's Aine or Mygo, no one knows what happened to Xiangzi, or is it just me who knows this? Then...

"Xiangzi... needs me, so I can't refuse."

Pochi clasped his hands in front of his chest and spoke with a firm look in his eyes, showing his determination.

"Really……"

Aine scratched her head when she saw Pochi like this. "Although, I had expected this, but seeing how close Pochi and Shoko are, I'm still a little envious."

Hearing Aine's somewhat unwilling tone, Pochi opened his mouth, unsure of what to say.

"Hey~ Pochi, what if...we were in the same class from the beginning?"

Aine recalled the afternoon when they first met. Two transfer students with the same hair color ran into each other. Why... couldn't it be more of a coincidence?

"No...don't know..."

Pochi, not knowing how to respond, spoke his true thoughts, "But no matter which class, Ai... Aine is my first friend..."

"My first friend..."

Aine repeated it softly, then revealed a look of relief, “Really… As expected of Pochi…”

"Eh? Did I...did I say something wrong?"

"No no,"

Aine waved her hand and changed the subject, "I don't know why you AveMujica are hiding this from everyone. You're still so secretive even after the first performance, but... since Pochi wants to keep it a secret, then I won't tell anyone else."

"Eh? Thank you...thank you."

"But don't forget your promise to stay at Pochi's house when the time comes~"

Aine smiled, "Also, Soyorin went to see it too."

"Su...Su Shi? Isn't that Li Xi?"

"Rikki didn't come because she was busy with her part-time job, so I had to talk to Soyorin. But I'll also tell her about it and keep it a secret from the others."

"oh oh……"

Did Su Shi know this too? What would she think of Xiangzi? ...

-

"Xiao Mu."

During lunch break in Tsuki no Mori, Nagasaki Suyo looked through the window at Wakaba Mutsu who was watering cucumbers downstairs. After hesitating for a long time, she went downstairs and found her in the cucumber garden.

Hearing Su Shi's voice, Mu stopped what he was doing and turned around. He looked at Su Shi, who was some distance away from him, without saying a word. In the past, she would walk to him and call him.

"How much do you know about Ave Mujica?"

I couldn't tell what Mu was thinking, he just asked what he wanted to know. Aine was with him the night before, so there were some things he couldn't ask.

"I don't know much."

Mu shook his head and answered quietly. He had expected Su Shi to come to him and knew what she wanted to ask. "I only know that Xiang is planning to form a new band."

"why did not you tell me?"

When she heard Xiangzi's name, Su Shi recalled that when she asked Mu Xiangzi where he was going, she was unwilling to say anything.

But then he thought about how Pochi had formed a band without telling anyone else, and how Aine had gotten the tickets by accident, and he felt relieved. "Forget it, it's probably another excuse of not telling you anyway."

Mu nodded weakly as a confirmation.

"Then I'm curious, since Xiaoxiang wants to form a band, why didn't he bring you in?"

"Because Xiang has Pochi."

She could bring more to Xiangzi than he did, so he didn't need her anymore. Although he had actively rejected Xiangzi's invitation, the truth was just like the ripe cucumber behind him, no matter what, no one else would need her.

"Is there Pochi?"

Hearing this, Nagasaki Suyo lowered her head in thought. Although Pochi had been standing next to Shoko in the park that night, her understanding of their relationship was that of a classmate and good friend.

But now Mu said this...Has Pochi surpassed Mu? Mu and Xiangzi were childhood sweethearts, and didn't Mu say she kissed Pochi?

Then I thought about how Pochi had dragged Xiangzi onto the train home the day before yesterday. It was safe to say he'd have to stay overnight. So...was Xiangzi still...even after knowing Mu's situation...

It shouldn't be possible, Xiangzi shouldn't do such a thing. I can't imagine Xiangzi snatching things peacefully...

"Xiao Mu, does Xiangzi know about you and Pochi?"

Taking a step forward, Su Shi lowered his head and asked.

Still without saying anything, Mu just shook his head.

"I don't know, that is to say..."

Nagasaki Suyo was a little surprised to get such an answer. According to her understanding, Mu should not hide it from Xiangzi. "Xiao Mu, you have selfish motives too, right..."

This time Mu just lowered his head and didn't respond.

"You used to listen to Xiangzi so much and didn't want to tell me anything..."

Knowing Mu's attitude, Nagasaki Sushi knew there was no need to say anything more. She turned around and prepared to leave, but Mu stopped her and said, "Wait... wait a minute."

"What's wrong? Do you have anything else to say?"

"No...this,"

Mu shook his head, then picked a cucumber from the cucumber rack behind him and handed it to Su Shi, "Here, please bring it to Pochi..."

"cucumber?"

Su Shi looked at the plump cucumber in Mu's hand and frowned, "Even if it's a gift, a single cucumber wouldn't be appropriate."

"Oh……"

Mu lowered his head again with a sense of disappointment, and his raised hand also dropped.

"Ugh……"

Seeing Mu's expression, Su Shi lost her temper. "I mean, you can give me a few more and find some packaging for them. Give them to me after school and I'll bring them to her for you."

After saying that, Su Shi turned around and walked out of the cucumber garden. Really, why would I do such a thing...

Chapter 239: What a Trouble...

"Good afternoon, Mana."

I left home early and rushed to the office, wanting to say hello to Mana in the lounge, but I immediately noticed that the atmosphere was a little off.

"Chuhua, you're here..."

Mana muttered to herself with her back to Chuhua, and even when Chuhua walked closer, she didn't turn around, which made Chuhua feel a little guilty.

"Today's work arrangements..."

"As for work arrangements, anything is fine..."

Before Chuhua could finish, Mana interrupted her, "I won't be able to do this job for long anyway!"

Knowing that they were from the same agency, she couldn't hide the AveMujica matter from Mana. However, she had been focusing on that matter these days, so she should have confessed to Mana earlier. But now...

"How...how could that be? What is Mana talking about? Sumimi's work must be carried out properly."

Since she hadn't had time to confess before, now...she could only pretend to be stupid until the end. But it wouldn't be long before Chu Hua realized that this was the worst decision she had ever made.

"Okay... well, it's getting late, let's go put on some makeup and get ready~"

Chu Hua used his usual tone to try to brush the matter off.

"I don't need it. Anyway, I don't need a child..."

Mana still had her head down, completely unmotivated to work.

"I don't need anything, how could that be?..."

Chuhua sat opposite Mana and observed her, but her hair still blocked his view and he couldn't see anything.

"No...are you okay, Mana? What's wrong?"

As he said this, he wanted to reach out and lift Mana's hair to get a good look at her expression.

But as soon as his outstretched hand touched her hair, it was stopped and held tightly in his hand.

"You still ask what happened...why?"

"Eh?"

"Why? What is AveMujica? Why did you hold a new Live? Why didn't you tell me? I don't know any of them. I had to research it myself..."

"Really...Mana?"

Her hands were clenched so tightly that they felt a little painful, but she still lowered her head and refused to look at herself.

"I want to understand Chuhua, I want to stay by Chuhua's side, I hope I am the person closest to Chuhua, and I don't want to be the one who is not closest to Chuhua. Obviously, I just want to have a better relationship with Chuhua, why are you doing this?"

"Wait...wait a minute, Mana..."

The strength in Mana's hand became stronger and stronger, causing Chuhua to feel some pain. She forcibly pulled her hand back from Mana's hand, but ended up knocking her to the ground.

"Mana...Mana?! Are you okay?"

Just as I was about to bend down to check if there were any injuries, I was startled by Mana's voice.

"I (Wow Darcy)! I hate it when Chuhua smiles at me when I don't know about it! And, holding hands with other people too! Just with me is fine! I especially hope that she is with me! Chuhua looks very happy, smiling, with me next to you! That would be great! My head hurts so much, it's so uncomfortable! I have been thinking about Chuhua all the time, thinking so much, I am almost going crazy..."

Chuhua was shocked by Mana's initial volume, and then the endless chattering made it impossible for him to get a word in. He felt a little lost and could only stand there in a daze.

"I've been waiting for Chuhua to call me! Talk to me occasionally, talk to me. I hate it when I'm the only one doing that all the time, and I often can't get through. Chuhua, do you... do you care about me a little bit? A little bit? Not at all? Don't you think about anything? Just friends? Ordinary friends? Or not even ordinary friends? Just colleagues?"

"Hey~ Chuhua, when I called you and you didn't answer, did you really not hear me? Or did you see it and choose to ignore it? I gave you my favorite donuts, but you weren't interested. You just declined when we went out to play. I knew about every time we went to the planetarium! Why didn't you let me go with you? I don't understand, can you explain it to me? How can I understand if you don't want to tell me anything?"

"The last time Chuhua went to the planetarium, I was there too. Chuhua and that pink-haired girl were so close. Her name was Goto Ichiri, right? Why did Chuhua call her Pochi? She's a freshman at Haneda High School and just transferred here not long ago, but why did she become so close to Chuhua so soon? And her classmate, Toyokawa Shoko, is your childhood sweetheart, Chuhua. I'm enough for you. I've never heard of childhood sweethearts! And that bassist is in your class, right? We were sitting in front of each other and in front of each other, but I didn't know anything about this! Why, Chuhua, did you never tell me? Why did you help that woman named Meow Meng out of the izakaya late on Saturday night? Now that you're an adult, you shouldn't go to izakayas with high school students! Chuhua, you never told me these things!"

"No...it's not..."

The continuous bombardment of messages, the sight of Mana kneeling on the ground unwilling to get up, and the information that she knew clearly without being told to her, made Chuhua feel as if she was being weighed down and couldn't breathe. She didn't know how to respond, but in this situation, she could only apologize first, "I'm... I'm sorry..."

"Why are you sorry? Because Chuhua also feels that he treated me too badly? Is he better than the one who is with me? Am I not good enough? What's wrong with me? I will change, tell me, I will definitely change, so please tell me, I want to hear it."

"Speaking of you, Chuhua, I, because it's Chuhua... because of Chuhua, I have the motivation to keep moving forward. Even if there are people who look very similar to Chuhua, it has nothing to do with me. But there shouldn't be such a person. This is not what I want to say. This is... it won't work if it's not Chuhua, so I want to have a better relationship with you. How should I put it... I didn't want to say these things, I wanted to say something different, but I have been paying attention to it... Because Chuhua was smiling at that time? Do you still remember the first time we met, Chuhua, your smile when you encouraged me? I hated your smile except for me. Don't you hate it? It's not like that? Chuhua, haven't you had that? Chuhua, who do you like? Do you have someone you like? Can you like someone? Do you know what love is?"

Like... I really don't understand. My feelings for Xiangzi, whether it's love or admiration, have been washed away by memories and are a bit fuzzy. Coupled with Xiangzi's current attitude of not caring much about me, I am even more confused.

But... I took another look at Mana kneeling on the ground. At least, I don't like Mana...

Thinking of this, Chu Hua looked away.

"No...that's not the case."

As if sensing what Chuhua was thinking, Mana became a little anxious.

"I value Chuhua very much, and I really want to value you. I don't want to not value you, so look at me. Chuhua, I don't want you not to look at me... look at other people, I don't want that... I hate that."

"Hey~ Chuhua, when we finish work, let's go out and play together, okay? We can go anywhere, to an amusement park, a planetarium, shopping, eating, anything."

Mana said as she stepped forward and hugged Chuhua's legs, "No, let's go to the planetarium, let's go to the planetarium and sit in the same seat that Chuhua sat in last time. I still remember that time I was behind Chuhua!"

"Be in the same place as others, and then be with me! Just cover it with new memories! I can do everything I did with others! Let's go, go home with Chuhua, and do the things we did as childhood sweethearts; Hanasakigawa, right? I can also go to Chuhua's classmates; I can also go to the izakaya with Chuhua, anything is fine, as long as Chuhua is willing to do it, I can do it!"
