Guitar Hero also wants to play Kasuga Shadow!

The waiter brought black tea at the right time, interrupting the increasingly tense atmosphere.

"Well, it looks pretty good."

Mori Minami took a sip of the black tea. Compared to the real high-end tea, the cup in her hand was naturally less flavorful, but for a coffee shop's products, it was pretty good. "By the way, does this shop have the mango juice that Mu likes?"

The topic was changed, and the atmosphere did indeed ease a bit, along with the black tea in front of them. Toyokawa Shoko also took a sip of the black tea. "Of course I do, but you probably won't like it. It's too sweet."

"Really,"

He picked up the spoon and stirred the teacup slowly. Just like Xiangzi said, he didn't really like such sweet things.

but……

Just like what I said just now, not knowing my daughter as well as the girl in front of me will also bring me a lot of frustration.

"So, where did Mu go?"

His tone softened slightly, which was considered a concession.

"To go where she wants to go and be with who she wants to be with."

"You mean, I should stay out of this?"

Toyokawa Shoko nodded, as a sign of agreement.

"But she is my daughter, and now she is running away from home. I..."

"Then what did you do before? You left Mu here alone with that person, and ignored her, and now you remember that she is your daughter?!"

Xiangzi raised his voice, and at the same time, the fact that the younger generation spoke so loudly to the elders, or scolded them in person, attracted the attention of the surrounding customers and store staff.

Being interrupted did make me a little angry. It had been a long time since someone spoke to me like this, but...

Facing Xiangzi's accusations, she really couldn't say anything to quibble. She was fed up with being around that man, and he also said that he would raise Mu to be successful in his eyes.

If it succeeds, then there's no problem. If it fails, then I can prove to the man that he's useless. It seems both are good for me.

But... I didn't consider Mu's thoughts at all.

Yes, Mu never spoke. When facing quarrels between herself and men, she would just remain silent and could not say anything else. It was also because of this that she was always ignored, as if she was a puppet without emotions, a tool used by adults to involve each other.

until……

Mu's current runaway...

"I just want to know where Mu is now. I just want to meet her."

I sighed. I actually gave in to Xiangzi. How could I have believed this before?

"No, Mu has no intention of seeing you, and I will not tell you where she is."

If he really had Mu in his heart, why would he leave Mu alone and live out there? He waited until now to come back, obviously wanting to hold Mu as leverage...

"You know, even if I didn't ask you, I could still find out where Mu is through other means. It's just that asking you is the fastest."

"I advise you not to do this,"

He sighed slightly, thinking it was unrealistic for her to not find Mu at all. "At least, don't disturb her."

After saying that, he drank the black tea in the cup in one gulp. It didn't have enough time to cool down and it was still a little hot, but he really didn't want to bother with it anymore.

He picked up the receipt, turned to the front desk to pay, and then walked towards the door of the coffee shop. "That's it, goodbye."

"Don't you think you're a little too selfish? Toyokawa Shoko..."

He smiled miserably and questioned the girl passing by him, "Mu...is not your pet."

"So high and mighty..."

With one last glance back, he said, "Mu is not a toy you can just throw away and pick up."

After saying that, he walked out of the coffee shop, but Shoko Toyokawa knew that the matter was not over yet.

Mu...and Pochi, what are you doing now?

344

Chapter 344: Together.

"Wait...wait a minute..."

He grabbed Mu's hand on his leg and slowly lifted it up, "I...I'm ready to get up."

"Oh."

Sitting in Pochi's arms in the bathtub, Mu nodded. Although he wanted to soak with Pochi for a while longer, he couldn't be too willful.

"Eh? Pochi's already out? I was..."

On the other side, Aine was still washing her hair. It was her first time taking a bath with others and she was obviously a little shy. She was not as casual as Mu and Pochi.

Lenai was the first to enter the bathtub. According to her, she didn't seem to like taking baths, especially showers. In order to coax Lenai into the bathtub, Pochi sat in the bathtub first and beckoned Lenai to come in.

After soaking for a while, Lenai couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to run out, so Mu took the initiative to sit in Pochi's arms. Aine, who was left in the shower, felt a little embarrassed. She wanted to try being in the same bathtub with Pochi but didn't know how to start.

"Uh... that..."

Aine raised her hand and then put it down, pretending to be fine. "No...it's okay."

"Aine, do you want to take a bath too?"

Pochi stepped out of the bathtub and saw Aine's movements. He turned around and looked at Mu who was still in a daze in the bathtub. "If you want to take a bath, Mu can come with you..."

"I'm done."

"Eh?"

His words were interrupted. When he turned around again, Mu had already stood up from the bathtub and walked towards the bathroom door.

"Eh? Mu, you washed really fast today..."

Normally, Mu would take a longer shower than me...

"Well, I'm a little sleepy."

Mu said that and walked out of the bathroom, leaving behind a still bewildered Aine and a confused Pochi.

"Then... then, we are the only ones left."

Pochi scratched his head and walked over to Aine, "Before, Mu will wash for a while longer. Maybe the exam today is too demanding?"

I was looking at the direction Mu left, "Actually, you don't have to give in to me like this..."

While Chihaya Aine was still thinking this, Pochi's voice sounded from behind her.

"Eh?"

He turned around suddenly and saw Pochi's body standing in front of him. He subconsciously took a half step back embarrassedly, covered his private parts, and then slowly let go.

Pochi isn't embarrassed at all, so why should I be so pretentious here? And...

It’s not like there hasn’t been…

“Aine?”

Pochi took a step forward and observed Aine's expression more closely, but the fog in the bathroom made it a little blurry. "I feel like... Aine has been a little absent-minded lately..."

"Uh...this..."

Yeah, I feel a little lost after knowing him for so long and still not knowing anything about the so-called Guitar Hero.

"Maybe... I was busy with the final exams the past few days and neglected Aine."

Pochi scratched his head, recalling the past few days. "I didn't go to the Astronomy Club much during lunch break, and there were no rehearsals in the afternoon. It seems like it's been a long time since I've been this close to Aine."

As he spoke, his eyes shifted uncontrollably downwards, taking in Aine's front armor. Or rather, it wasn't really armor, it could only be considered a front fender? It looked a bit childish, yet also somewhat...

Tempting...

It's different with Mu. Mu is a little thin, but Aine is very healthy and taller than herself. In comparison, although they are of similar size, their appearance is very different.

"It's...it's nothing, actually..."

Feeling a little embarrassed, I subconsciously wanted to tidy up my hair, but since I had just washed it, my hair was sticking to my shoulders and I couldn't touch it like I usually did, so I had to give up.

But now I have no idea where to put my eyes. Staring at Pochi? That seems too rude, so I simply go back under the shower, using the water to ease the awkwardness, and finally be able to say what's been weighing on my heart.

"Pochi... that's the guitar hero, right?"

"Eh?"

Having never expected to hear that name here, Pochi froze in his tracks and scratched his head before realizing, "Yeah...that's right...how did Aine know that?"

"It's just that I happened to see..."

He let the shower water flow through his fingers, and asked with his back to Pochi, "Why don't you tell others? You're so amazing, aren't you? You have many times more fans than Mygo..."

"Uh... that's..."

"What is it?"

Aine turned her head and finally looked Pochi in the face. "Why didn't you tell everyone? Why didn't you tell...me?"

"Because...because..."

The shower water was still running, flowing down Aine's body and then flowing to Pochi's feet, connecting the two of them together. "Because, I don't want everyone to know... I'm pretending to be a real person online..."

"Just because... of this?"

The answer to the question was too simple, and Aine, who had been troubled by her back for several days, found it hard to accept. "It's not because... because..."

"Because of what?"

Now it was Pochi who was stunned, wondering what kind of excuse Aine had come up with.

"Uh……"

So it's not... because my relationship with Pochi isn't that good? Then am I really an idiot...

"So, who knows about this?"

After thinking for a while with her head down, Aine spoke again.

"I guess only Mu and Meowmeng know..."

Pochi scratched his head. Although he never said it on his own initiative, he knew about Meow Dream too.

"Only them? Even Xiangzi and Deng don't know?"

"I... probably don't know."

"What? Then don't I have an advantage?"

"Advantage...advantage?"

"Nothing, nothing."

Aine interrupted Pochi's thoughts, "Come to think of it, Mu is living in Pochi's house, so how did Meowen-chin know Pochi's identity as a guitar hero?"

"Uh...I don't know either."

He scratched his head awkwardly, "Before I really met Miao Meng, she contacted me on the video platform, saying she wanted to collaborate or something..."

"Linkage? Didn't Pochi go?"

"Well...well, of course I refused. But I didn't expect that later on, I would actually meet Miao Meng and even form a band with her."

"Oh, so that's it..."

Before I met Pochi, I knew Guitar Hero. Fate is really magical.

“Okay…Okay, Aine, go take a bath, and we’ll go back to the room…”

Pochi said as he walked forward to the bottom of the shower, taking a few more glances at Aine's body, "It would be bad if... it would make Mu and the others wait too long..."

"Eh~ Really~"

This time, Aine noticed Pochi's gaze. Unlike before, Aine was not so shy and even straightened her chest on purpose. Sure enough, Pochi looked away in embarrassment.

"Well, Pochi, come take a bath with us!"

As he said that, he pulled Pochi towards the bathtub.

"Eh...eh? I just made some."

"Then let's soak some more, together!"
