Guitar Hero also wants to play Kasuga Shadow!

So... what should I do? The messages I sent to Deng have always remained unread. I have never dealt with such a thing before, as I have no friends at all.

Or... ask someone else.

I opened my phone, but there were only a few people in my address book. Besides the lights, there were also some members of crychic...

After thinking about it, I clicked on one of the avatars.

"Well...um, I think I've upset Deng, and I don't know what to do."

...

Are you upset with the lamp?

Nagasaki Suyo looked at the message on her phone coldly. Given their personalities, they probably wouldn't do anything out of the ordinary.

She casually threw her phone aside. Ever since Xiaoxiang pulled her to hide from her last time, she no longer had any good feelings towards this pink-haired girl.

Although he knew that she had done nothing wrong, seeing her would remind him of that afternoon.

"Ugh..."

After thinking for a while, she picked up her phone again. After all, this new band still needed her. For now...

"What happened? Xiao Deng isn't a particularly easily angered child."

"Just... just played the Kasuga Shadow in front of her."

Tsk...

When I saw those three words, I was overwhelmed by the memories of the past. I took back what I said just now. This pink-haired girl is really annoying. She always plays Kasuga Shadow or something like that. No wonder Xiao Deng is unhappy.

"I see. Kasuga Kage is a memory of everyone in crychic, so I think it's best not to play it casually~"

"Yes...Is that so?"

Does Sushi also feel bad?

Kasuga Shadow, is this so important to everyone in the past...

While I was still thinking about this, another message came from my phone.

"But there's no need to worry too much about Xiao Deng. The child will figure it out."

Are you comforting me? Pochi at home scratched his head. Su Shi is so gentle, just like a mother.

"Thank...thank you."

Still thanking me?

It was just basic social etiquette, was there really any need to say thank you? This guy was so naive that he lost his temper.

"It's okay, you're welcome."

I looked up again and stared at the ceiling which remained unchanged.

That’s not right. The setting sun shines into the house through the floor-to-ceiling windows, coating the ceiling with a layer of orange warmth.

It seems... not so lonely anymore...

"Ding Dong" the mobile phone message came again.

I lazily picked up my phone, only to find that the avatar had turned into the familiar cucumber flower.

"Um."

This is a response to the invitation just now.

As usual, I have few words...

"Then let's meet at the usual place. How about 2pm?"

"Um."

Tsk...can't you say more?

I can already foresee that tomorrow afternoon in the coffee shop, I will face Mu Tou, who is as silent as ever, and will not be able to get any useful information.

But last time...you really went to see Xiaoxiang by yourself.

Hiding from me...

You clearly knew that Xiangzi was in Yugaoka. I only found out about this from Pochi.

Wait, Pochi?

He switched to another person's chat box, lowered his head in thought, and couldn't help scratching his fingers.

Since Pochi was there last time, there shouldn't be any problem this time...

"Pochi, are you busy tomorrow?"

"Eh? No...I don't think so."

"Then let's go out tomorrow. We'll go to Yuze Coffee Shop at 1:30 pm tomorrow."

Given Pochi's personality, he probably wouldn't be able to say no.

"Okay...Okay."

That’s really the case. So, Xiaoxiang, what are you doing now?

...

Shoko Toyokawa finished her customer service work for the day, walked down the building where she worked, turned on her cell phone, but there was no message from anyone.

Su Shi didn't contact me today, and I was considering whether to block her.

I put away my phone, tidied my clothes, and got on the train home. I leaned against the window and looked at the gradually darkening night outside the train. The feeling of hunger in my empty stomach came back again.

"Ugh..."

Shoko Toyokawa patted her cheeks to cheer herself up again, but the familiar feeling of hunger reminded her of the bench next to the vending machine.

I couldn't help but take out my phone and looked at the empty chat history with Pochi. We haven't chatted much since we added each other as friends.

So...want to chat with her?

What does Pochi do on the weekend?

Going out for dinner with the family?

Going to a coffee shop with friends?

I feel like none of them suit her preferences... Come to think of it, she and I have only known each other for a short time, so we can't really say we understand each other.

"Pochi, what are you doing?"

I don't know when these words appeared in the input box, and my finger stayed on the send button for a long time.

Do you want to press it...

不 ...

Forget it, I can no longer rely on others, I can no longer become weak...

At this moment, the tram was about to arrive at the station, and the inertia transmitted by the brakes was brought to my fingers, touching the screen.

! ...

By the time I realized it, the message had already been sent.

What are you doing...

I quickly prepared to withdraw the message, but just as I was about to do it, the 'unread' suddenly turned into a glaring 'read'.

Then there is the 'Inputting' under Pochi's avatar.

I clenched my fists and wanted to ask myself, aren't you no longer weak?

Toyokawa Shoko...

Chapter 27: Are all drummers muscular?

"Pochi, what are you doing?"

Pochi huddled in the closet, holding his guitar and looking at the new messages on his phone. I never expected that Xiangzi would send me a message.

"Playing guitar."

I responded quickly, but after sending it, I looked at the few words and wondered if they seemed a bit perfunctory. After a moment's thought, I turned on my phone's recording function, played a recently popular melody, and sent it over.

Audio

...

Are you playing guitar...

That's right, Pochi isn't very comfortable playing in front of others. If she wants to form a band, she really needs more practice. In that case, I won't bother her anymore. I put away my phone. The train is about to arrive.

I got off the tram and saw fewer and fewer people walking towards my home, an old and dilapidated rental house. Soon, I was the only one on the road.

My phone vibrated, and I stopped. Was it Pochi's reply again? I opened my phone, and there was only an audio clip in the chat box.

"This is..."

Holding the phone to my ear, a soothing guitar sound came, washing away today's fatigue.

"Um..."

After taking a deep breath, I couldn't help but lean against the street lamp next to me, slowly waiting for this melody to end, and then the world became quiet, leaving only the chirping of early summer insects and the crackling sound of the incandescent street lamp above my head.

Feeling...less tired.

"That's great."

...

"Hey hey hey..."

Being praised.

"Next time, play it for Xiangzi in person."

“Then I’ll look forward to it.

But isn't Pochi still not used to playing in front of others?"

"Eh?!"

"Yes... yes..."

But the first rehearsal is the day after tomorrow, and with my current level, what should I do?

...

You can't play well in front of others?

Shoko Toyokawa thought of Deng who couldn't sing during rehearsals. They... were really alike in some ways.

"You know, the lights couldn't sing before."

"Tou? That Kasuga Shadow is so awesome."

"Yeah, so Pochi will definitely be very powerful in the future.

Your skills aren't bad, you just lack confidence."

Turning the corner, my cheap rental house came into view.

"Okay, I have something to do now. See you the day after tomorrow, Pochi."

I put away my phone downstairs, composed myself and went upstairs.

Pushing open the door and spilling a few beer cans, Toyokawa Shoko looked at the mess on the floor and the snoring middle-aged man inside. She sighed and walked towards her cubicle, curling up on the tatami to relieve the fatigue of the whole day.

...

Is Xiangzi busy again?

It's clearly evening already, but Xiangzi always seems so busy, he must be so tired...

I put down my phone and stared at the pattern on the top of the wardrobe.

Shouldn't I work harder myself?

Yeah! I did it right away. I sat up, picked up my guitar, and clicked on my video homepage.
