"That's all for today, thank you all for coming!"

Chihaya Aine still had some strength left, but Pochi and Mutsu beside her looked a little tired. The free-spirited Rakuna was even more satisfied and went to rest aside after being satisfied.

“Yeah~”

After making a heart shape to the audience, he announced the end of today's live performance.

"Would you like some water?"

Hachiman Kailing considerately handed Pochi some mineral water.

"oh oh……"

Still immersed in the atmosphere of the stage just now, Pochi took the mineral water a little late, "Thank... Thank you Hailing."

On the other side, Su Shi, who also had two bottles of mineral water, saw that Pochi had already taken one bottle, frowned, and handed the other bottle to Mu, who was still holding the guitar, "Here, drink some water."

"This is……"

He looked up at Sushi, then looked in Pochi's direction, "Prepare it for Pochi."

"Even if you know, you can keep it to yourself..."

"Oh."

"Hey, how did I perform today?"

Aine put down the microphone and ran over to Pochi to take credit.

“Very…very good.”

Pochi nodded. He knew Aine liked to be praised, but that was just the level of his own speech. He couldn't think of anything more flowery to say.

"hey-hey……"

But for Aine, the word "great" was enough. She turned around and waved to Rikki who was not far away, and shouted, "Rikki~ Pochi said I was great~"

"Tsk...how proud you are..."

Li Xi frowned and complained quietly, but to be honest, he also wanted to be praised by Pochi...

"It's getting late, it's time to go home."

The bass had already been put into the bass case and Hailing suggested to everyone.

Then everyone's attention was focused on Pochi, waiting for her decision.

"Eh... well... then, let's go home."

It’s really late, and I have to go to school tomorrow...

"I'll take Pochi back..."

?2As soon as Pochi finished speaking, the voices on both sides spoke in unison.

Aiyin and Lixi, who were talking, looked at each other. It was really awkward to be watched by other people like this.

"Why...why does Rikki always like to send others home?"

Chihaya Aine spoke first. She felt good about herself after being praised by Pochi. Moreover, she had made an appointment with Pochi to stay over together...

"Huh? Because it's more dangerous at night, isn't it normal to send Pochi home?"

Facing the strange look from his classmate Hailing Chuhua, Li Xi still went on talking.

"Then why did Lixi never say he would take me home?"

Hailing suddenly spoke.

"Clam?!"

Turning to look at Hailing, this was totally not something she would say.

"Obviously, it's all to stay with Pochi..."

Mutsuya whispered that he hadn't been alone with Pochi for a long time, and he wanted to send Pochi home...

"You... you..."

Lian Mu said this, which made Li Xi feel even more shy. He bit his lip and lowered his head.

"Okay... okay, if Li Xi wants to give it to me, of course I can..."

Pochi carried his guitar and walked over to Lixi, "But, Lixi's house and my house...isn't it a bit far?"

"Eh?"

I thought that Pochi would definitely not agree to my request in this situation, but when Pochi tugged at my sleeve, I came to my senses and said, "Of course... it doesn't feel far!"

"That's good……"

-

Toyokawa Shoko finished her part-time job for the day and was on her way home. Although she was still a little tired, it was actually much better than when she first started working part-time.

Looking back on the early days, part-time jobs like helping in the kitchen, working as a waiter, and working as a cashier in a convenience store were all very good jobs for me.

In the future... once AveMujica gets back on track, can I stop being so busy? I can spend more time with Pochi. For example... this summer vacation...

My thoughts were still wandering when my phone vibrated in my pocket, interrupting my thoughts. Who could it be at this time of night? Could it be Pochi?

I took out my phone with some anticipation, but found that it was not the Pochi I was expecting.

[Hey~Oblivious, when will we, AveMujica, hold our second Live? ]

Looking at Miao Meng's selfie avatar, Xiangzi frowned. She was obviously the most reluctant one during training, so why is she looking forward to the second Live now?

"That's not something you would say, Ms. Yutenji."

"Oh, how can you say that? I've been working hard for the development of AveMujica. And, in order not to destroy the worldview of AveMujica, shouldn't you call me Amoris?"

"Tsk..."

What on earth does this guy want to do? But thinking about how she always stayed next to Pochi during training, she sometimes couldn't stand it and asked tentatively.

"You, aren't you coming to me to ask for a live performance because you can't see Pochi?"

[Eh? I was actually seen through?!]

Miao Meng turned over in bed. She didn't expect that Toyokawa Shoko was not as slow as she thought. Or, did something happen between her and Pochi in the past two days?

[However, Miao Mengqin, I am indeed not like Xiangzi, who can see Pochi every day. I haven't seen Pochi for three days. I feel like ants are crawling on my heart. (*?????)]

[It's only been a weekend, how could it be as exaggerated as you say.

Also, we have final exams coming up soon, so our next live performance will probably have to wait until summer vacation at the very least.

「Eh~ That will take a long, long time~」

[Since you have this time, why not try practicing the drums more? ]

Drum set... Miao Meng subconsciously looked up at the room where the drum set was placed. Recently, many fans asked her if she was Amoris. In order to avoid this topic, she hadn't touched the drum set for a long time.

but……

[You're still talking about work at this hour, Xiangzi, no one will like you~]

【You don’t even need to tell me this.】

Xiangzi stood downstairs of his rental house, looking up at the long-standing apartment building in front of him, thinking back to the comfortable experience he had when he stayed at Pochi's house a few days ago. He really wanted to...stay with Pochi all the time...

No, no, if I think about this now, wouldn’t I be in the same situation as Miao Meng on the opposite side?

[Okay, I have other things to do, so I won’t talk about this for now.]

After clicking send, Xiangzi put away his phone, opened the door, and walked into the room filled with the smell of alcohol and mold.

……

[One more thing, I've already said that workaholics won't be liked by others~]

Miao Meng saw that the message he sent was always in the unread status, so he stopped making trouble for himself.

However, if the next Live is going to take that long, I'll probably just have to take the initiative to find Pochi to play with...

Chapter 251 Nothing can be done.

……

……

So... so awkward, should I say something? Li Xi walked beside me without saying a word. Was he a little regretful for sending me home?

No… No, I need to find something to talk about. Topics, topics… But after thinking about it, I could only come up with two words, "Today… Today…"

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Without hearing Pochi's whisper, Li Xi turned around and asked.

"Eh?"

Before I could think of what to say, I was frightened by Li Xi's words and instantly became even more incoherent, "I... I mean, today... the weather is nice..."

"weather?"

Li Xi, who was walking beside Pochi, was stunned when he heard Pochi say this. Then he looked up at the moonlight tonight and immediately understood what Pochi was talking about. "Yes, the moon is quite round today."

"Eh?"

I had been keeping my head down and hadn't noticed the moon at all. Only then did I look up. The moon was hanging in the middle of the street, and I could see it just by looking up, without being blocked by the buildings on either side.

And, just as Li Xi said, the moon tonight was big and round, "Really...really beautiful."

"Eh?"

Li Xi, who was not looking at Pochi, subconsciously thought that Pochi was saying that he was beautiful. He turned his head in panic and found that Pochi was still looking up at the moon. Only then did he realize that Pochi was saying that the moon was very beautiful today and it had nothing to do with him.

"Yes...it is very beautiful."

She agreed somewhat awkwardly, saying that she didn't care whether the moon was beautiful or not. As long as she was with Pochi, she was already satisfied.

Then the two fell into silence again. With the previous conversation, the silence was even more awkward.

"That... that..."

When they reached the traffic light, there were only him and Pochi on the empty street. As the countdown of the red light decreased little by little, Lixi finally couldn't help but say, "Thank you, Pochi."

"Thanks?"

When Pochi heard this sudden and somewhat inexplicable thanks, he didn't know how to respond for a moment.

"Um……"

He nodded and the countdown of the red light ended. Li Xi walked out first so as not to let Pochi see his expression.

"Why...why, thank you?"

Pochi asked cautiously as he slowly followed Riki.

"Thank you, Pochi and Aine, for holding the lights at the beginning, and I'll form a band..."

Although we were in the middle of the street, there were no other passers-by, making it seem even quieter. "And later, thank you Pochi for bringing Su Shi back. Otherwise... this band might have ended inexplicably..."

"oh oh……"

He nodded thoughtfully, but something was still wrong.

After crossing the zebra crossing, Pochi slowly said, "No... no need to say thank you..."

"No... needless to say..."

Pochi's words made Lixi a little nervous. There was no need to say thank you. Did an empty thank you have no weight?

"I'm already very happy to be able to form a band and be with everyone, so... no need to say thank you."

"That's it..."

That's right, Pochi and the others originally formed a band with the lights, but I had a bad attitude and got into a fight with Aine. Later, it was Suyo who asked me if I wanted to form a band. Maybe, for Pochi, he was in the band just because the band needed a drummer...

Come to think of it, this seems to be the first time I've been alone with Pochi, and I don't know what she thinks of me. Pochi must have heard what I said to the street light last time, but she didn't think anything of it, as if what I said was a joke...

The more I thought about it, the more I felt lost. Compared to others, I seemed so ordinary. I wasn't as sentimental as Deng, not as sunny as Aine, not as talented as Xiangzi...

Even compared to Chuhua and Hailing, who were in the same class at Hanasakigawa, I still felt that there was a huge gap between them. So...it's no wonder that Pochi and I have always been so distant...
