Guitar Hero also wants to play Kasuga Shadow!

"How about C chord~" Chihaya Aine played a chord that she was very satisfied with and laughed proudly.

"That's amazing." Deng, who didn't know how to play any musical instruments, echoed.

As for the C chord, something wasn't right... Pochi looked at Aine's hand movements but didn't open his mouth to remind her. After all, the level he performed wasn't much better.

"Can you play anything else?" Su Shi, who was sweating profusely, asked from the side.

"I know them all~ G, A minor, and even F!" The F chord is difficult, show off your skills after watching this! "Let me think..."

After a while of struggling, the guitar emitted a strange, mournful sound.

"No way..." Li Xi finally couldn't help but speak after hearing the sound of the guitar, "This level..."

"This is really difficult. Those are chords." Aine put on an expression that said, "No one knows guitar better than me." She said, "Guitar is all about starting and ending with chords. You, a drummer, probably don't understand anything about it."

"Oh..." If someone else said this, I would probably be very angry, but this guy is the guitarist of my own band, what else can I say?

"Why are you sighing?"

"Anyway, let's find a song that's easy to play, maybe a cover or something." Su Shi started to change the subject.

"Haruhi Kage will do."

“But I’ve only heard it once.”

"But..." Kasuga Kage is...

Ignoring Aine's complaints, Riki turned to look at Sushi, "Why, are you still worried about that guy?"

Li Xi was really perceptive sometimes... He looked at Deng and changed the subject, "What do you think, Xiao Deng?"

"I... only know how to sing this one."

Tsk...Su Shi is really holding on to the past. Seeing through her thoughts, Li Xi took out the prepared music score from his bag.

"I've only heard it once."

"Yeah, let's find a song that everyone is familiar with..."

Su Shi was still guiding them not to play Kasuga Shadow, even though she had withdrawn on her own! Thinking this, Li Xi sat in front of the drum set and said, "If you don't play, I can do it alone, right?"

"Li...Li Xi..."

"Huh?" Li Xi turned his head and saw Pochi standing next to him without him knowing when.

Even though I didn't interact with her much, I still felt a strange irritation when I recalled her and Deng going to the planetarium two days ago. Add to that her odd guitar skills, and I had no good impression of her. Of course, she was still much better than the other one.

"What's wrong?" He looked down at the drum set and replied casually without looking at her.

"Yes...what does Kasuga Kage represent to Riki?"

"Eh?..."

Chapter 32: Is there something wrong with your playing?!

What does Kasuga Shadow represent to me?

Shiina Riki seems to have never considered this question.

He looked down at the sheet music in his hand. It had been there ever since it was written. Even after graduating from junior high and entering high school, and even after the contents of his tablet changed again and again, Shiina Riki never deleted it.

I just carry it with me every day so that I can see the three words "Spring Shadow" every time I open my tablet.

But...why?

When I first saw the lyrics, I didn't feel anything special. But then I realized, just as Xiangzi said, these lyrics must be sung by the lamp...

The lights on the stage were so dazzling, and accompanying her singing behind her seemed to be the meaning of my life.

...

"That...that?" Pochi waved his hand in front of Li Xi's eyes, but there was no response. No...wasn't it just a question? How could he be in a daze for so long?

Turning to look at Ainin Suyo, they were discussing which song to play first.

The lamp next to him seemed to notice his gaze and looked over. He also saw Li Xi standing in a daze behind the drum set and walked over curiously.

"Lixi..what's wrong?"

"She... is thinking about something..."

Thinking about something? Deng Ye walked up to Li Xi and waved his hand in front of her. This time, she finally responded.

"Wow!" Li Xi suddenly came back to his senses, and the dazzling light in his mind just now appeared in front of him. "What...what happened?"

"Lixi, it's so rare to see you in a daze."

"No...I just..." The shameful words that just popped up in his mind again, making Li Xi not know how to start.

"What?" Aiyin, who had just heard Li Xi's reaction, came over and stared at Li Xi, who was embarrassed. "Stare~"

“What…what are you doing!”

"Hey~ Rikki can make cute expressions too."

"Huh?!" Li Xi realized belatedly that his face had already turned red. "Who is Rikki!?"

“Rikki is Rikki~”

"Tsk!"

"Okay, okay, what song should we practice? Have you decided?" What's going on with this band? Su Shi tried to smooth things over again, getting the topic back on track. "A rehearsal room costs money, huh~"

When they heard about money, several female high school students who didn't have much pocket money stopped arguing.

"I want to play Sumimi's..." Aine was interrupted by Riki before she could finish her words.

"Play Haruhi Shadow."

"I've told you everything you've heard."

"Isn't it possible that Deng has never heard of sumimi?"

"Well..."

"Well... Riki and Xiao Deng want to play Kasuga Shadow..." Su Shi, sweating profusely, began to ease the atmosphere for the umpteenth time, "Aine wants to play Sumimi's song, right?"

"Yeah. This is what I usually practice..." Aine said and looked at Deng embarrassedly. After all, if she wanted to accommodate herself, Deng would have to work hard.

"Hmm... Then I'll stand on Aine's side too. That way it'll be two against two." After hearing Su Shi's words, everyone turned their attention to Pochi, who had been silent the whole time. "Pochi, what do you think?"

"Eh?!" You want... me to decide? Looking at the people with different expressions, they all seemed to agree with this choice.

"I..." But Pochi, who had never made a decision for others, was in a dilemma. No matter which one he chose, someone would be dissatisfied...

"Which one is it? Can you be faster?" The impatient Li Xi couldn't help but urge.

"Lixi, let Bochi think about it carefully." Gentle mother Su Shi comforted Lixi, while also looking at Bochi, hoping that she would make the right choice.

"Pochi... which song do you want to play more?"

"I..." Which song do I want to play more?

I sometimes listen to sumimi's songs. They are indeed a popular group. They have excellent qualities in all aspects. I also practice privately.

But...Kasuga Shadow is...

"I...I want to play Kasuga Shadow..."

"Eh?~" Aine didn't expect that Pochi would rebel at this time, and made a slightly dissatisfied sound, but she didn't take it too seriously. Who made Pochi want to play?

"That's settled then." Li Xi said, operating his tablet and posting Kasuga Shadow's sheet music to the newly created group. Two guitars, no keyboard, so the sheet music would need to be revised later...

"Hmm..." Nagasaki Suyo smiled silently and fiddled with her fingers.

"Okay, let's start when you're ready." Li Xi tapped the drumsticks, indicating that they were ready.

“Eh~ So fast?” Aine hurriedly put her guitar on her back.

...

After a stumbling ensemble, Shiina Tatsuki put down his drumsticks and began to think about life. Guitar is the most important part of a band, but both guitars in his own band are terrible.

Even after playing together for half a day, we only played a few times to the point where the lights started to sing...

"Xiao Lixi, it's our first time playing together, so it's inevitable that this will happen..." Su Shi tried to ease the atmosphere again, she herself felt a little numb...

"I...um..." Shouldn't I have chosen Kasuga Kage...

"You!..." Li Xi now felt a headache when he saw these two guitars.

"Forget about that Aine girl, she's a wimp anyway!"

"Clam?!"

"What about you? You can play better! Why do you make so many mistakes?" Li Xi ignored Aiyin and wanted to continue.

"Is there something wrong with the way you play this?!"

"Gu..." Sure enough...it was a mistake to form a band with someone like me. I...I'm not a guitar hero. I...I'm just a guitar idiot...

Li Xi didn't notice that Pochi was curled up in the corner, almost losing his color, and was about to say something else: "You just..."

"Lixi. Stop talking!" Gao Songdeng walked over to Pochi and told Lixi to shut up without even turning his head. "Pochi, she's just not used to playing in front of others."

"But the band..."

"Li Xi." Su Shi also felt that what Li Xi said just now was a bit too much.

"..." Li Xi turned his head speechlessly and closed his mouth.

"Okay, Pochi, no one blames you. Li Xi also means well." Gao Songdeng squatted beside Pochi and whispered to comfort him.

"But...but I can't play it in front of others..."

"There will be a solution to this kind of thing. I myself used to be unable to sing."

"So...how was that resolved?"

"Hmm... I can't really explain it." Takamatsu Deng thought again of the overpass downstairs from his house, "But I believe Pochi can definitely do it."

"Hmm..." Su Shi, who had been silent the whole time, thought for a moment, "Could it be that Xiao Deng has ever heard Bochi play seriously? He seems to understand her very well."

"I heard it last time when I went to Pochi's house."

"Clam?"

Last time?

Going to Pochi's house?

Damn it, I should have followed last time.

No...it seems like there's nothing I can do by following.

Li Xi's mood went from surprise to loss, and he stared down at the drumsticks in his hand.

The lights have never been in my house...

I haven't been to the house...

I was obviously here first...

Thinking of this, Li Xi buried his head even lower.

Chapter 33: Ripe Mango

"Pochi seems to be playing seriously?" Chihaya Aine looked at her doubtfully, "Could it be that Pochi is actually very good?"

“Although… although I don’t quite understand it, I think it sounds very nice.”

"Huh?" If Pochi sounds good when he's serious, then... wouldn't that mean I'm the only rookie? I was originally thinking of trying to fish in the band with Pochi, but I didn't expect that I'd become the one?!

"How can little Pochi get into a serious state?" Su Shi also began to be curious about Pochi's true level.

"Last time..." Deng recalled the scene at her house, "Pochi played it in the closet."

"Wardrobe?" Would a normal person play guitar in a closet? Nagasaki Suyo was a little nervous.

"Then...can we move a wardrobe onto the stage during the live performance?" Aine was thinking of another trick.

"No way... probably." Only Deng would seriously consider such an unrealistic idea.

"It's all...it's my fault for being too timid. I can't play it in front of others."
