Guitar Hero also wants to play Kasuga Shadow!

"I...I know, but..."

As Xiangzi spoke, he looked at Pochi, who was lying flat on the bed beside him. He wouldn't have noticed it during normal conversations, but now, lying flat on his back, and the touch he had just felt, he knew...

Pochi and I...are not even on the same level...

"Eh~"

The infirmary teacher stared at Xiangzi's eyes that were moving back and forth. "Okay, I'll leave it to you. If nothing unexpected happens, I'll be back soon."

"As expected, it's..."

Before he could finish his words, the door of the infirmary was closed, leaving Xiangzi alone in the room with Pochi who was sleeping soundly beside him.

"call……"

Shoko Toyokawa took a deep breath, looked at the thermometer on the table, pondered for a long time, then picked up the thermometer and sat down beside Pochi's bed, looking at her body that was constantly rising, and felt the temperature on her face also rising.

No... just taking your temperature, just taking your temperature...

I kept repeating this in my mind, then slowly reached for the zipper of Pochi's sportswear...

Do not……

No! Is Pochi awake or asleep now?

Ask... Ask...

"Pochi?..."

No response.

In that case...it should be fine.

I'm going to start...

Bah! No! I'm about to start...

Slowly touch the zipper and apply force slowly.

As the zipper slowly moved down, a scenery that he had never seen before appeared.

So... So Pochi was wearing a black short-sleeved shirt underneath? I didn't know this before.

Then pull the chain downward until you feel resistance.

What...what's going on?

Looking closer, I found that Pochi's front armor was too large, and because he was lying down, it got stuck in the zipper, and I couldn't open it with one hand...

goo...

Toyokawa Shoko swallowed subconsciously. So… so there was such a worry? …

Put down the thermometer first, use your other hand, and finally get the zipper over the most difficult hurdle.

"Well……"

Pochi frowned as if he was hurt by the zipper, but he still didn't wake up.

Phew... After crossing that hurdle, things became much smoother. After unzipping, Pochi's black short-sleeved shirt was completely exposed in front of Toyokawa Shoko.

So... next thing is...

Move the view to Pochi's armpit. It's still clamped now, so you can't see anything. Later...

He held the thermometer in front of his eyes. He was going to... put this thing... into Pochi's...

goo...

This was the first time Toyokawa Shoko felt this nervous. Even her first live performance wasn't even one tenth as nervous as this...

Chapter 59: Weakness buried with one's own hands.

"Um..."

When Toyokawa Shoko put the thing in her hand, Pochi suddenly twisted.

Was it... was it too cold? Afraid of being discovered by Pochi, I didn't even take my hand out, and it was trapped like that. After a while, Pochi fell into a deep sleep again, and I slowly pulled my hand out.

I...what am I doing...

Shoko Toyokawa couldn't help but raise her hand to touch her face, which was probably one or two degrees hotter than Pochi's.

It's clearly...it's just taking your temperature...

I wiped the drool that had flowed out of the corner of my mouth, sat on the bench next to the bed, looked out the window, and tried to calm myself down. Speaking of which, why hasn't the infirmary teacher returned from the meeting? get out of class is almost over...

Then I thought, if my cold doesn't go away, what's going to happen to the live the day after tomorrow? New band, new songs, first live...

If Pochi can't participate, well...

"Xiang...Xiangzi?"

I heard Pochi's soft murmur behind me. I turned around and saw Pochi squinting his eyes and looking at me with a confused look on his face. "He's in the infirmary now. Pochi, you'll be fine after getting some sleep."

"But...but, there's still the band...the music sheet hasn't been given to Li yet...ahem!"

Before he could finish, he was interrupted by his own cough.

"That's enough, Pochi, forget about this for now. If you get sick, you won't be able to participate in the Live, so the most important thing now is to get well soon."

Seeing that she seemed to still want to get up, Xiangzi pushed her back to the bed with a stern tone.

"But...but, wouldn't that just be a burden to the band?"

Am I...a burden to the band...?

The remorse in Pochi's eyes evoked the emotions that Toyokawa Shoko had suppressed. Wasn't Crychic...disbanded because of me? Having done such a thing, what could I possibly say to comfort her now?

Should I speak it out? The regret that has been pent up in my heart since that rainy day... the pain that no one can tell... the exhaustion that still weighs on me... and the weakness that I buried with my own hands...

Want to tell me? Now? Here? ...

Pochi isn't a member of Crychic, but he knows everyone very well, so... Pochi is the best person to talk to...

"Pochi...I..."

Xiangzi spoke slowly and unknowingly sat down on the bed from the chair.

Pochi also felt that Xiangzi seemed to be about to say something very important, so he tried to raise his upper body and sit up to listen.

"I...Crychic ended...because..."

"Pochi!"

Xiangzi's words were suddenly interrupted by the sound of the door opening and shouting from the door.

……

When Gao Songdeng opened the door, he saw Pochi lying on the bed with his sweatshirt undone and his upper body raised with a blushing face, as if he was trying hard to please Xiangzi.

Xiangzi also looked at himself with a blushing face and shock, as if he had discovered something important.

"me……"

Are they preparing for a Ki...Kiss or something...?

"cough!"

Toyokawa Shoko, who was the calmest and clearest-headed, coughed deliberately to break the awkward atmosphere. "Deng, Pochi has a cold and a fever, so I took her to the infirmary."

"Fever?!"

"Yes, the infirmary teacher asked me to take Pochi's temperature first, so he opened her shirt."

"So...so this is a thermometer..."

Pochi suddenly spoke weakly, "It does feel a little weird..."

The thermometer...wasn't it Pochi who put it there himself? Takamatsu Deng discovered the blind spot again, but didn't say it out loud, "Pochi...is he really having a fever? Then Live..."

"Okay, Lantern, come in first."

Shoko Toyokawa sighed. She had been thinking about it for so long but still hadn't said what was in her heart.

"Oh……"

Deng walked into the infirmary upon hearing this. Instead of sitting on the bed like Xiangzi, he sat on the teacher's office chair, "Pochi...are you okay?"

"It's... it's okay, I can definitely participate... ahem!"

Anyone could tell he wasn't in good shape now. "...Sorry...I'm holding everyone back..."

"No! Pochi...it must be because of the band. Pochi is already upset, so there's no need to apologize."

"But……"

"Okay, I'm back."

A slightly more mature voice came from the doorway. The infirmary teacher had finally finished the meeting. "Well... there's one more student..."

Then he looked at Xiangzi with an intriguing expression and said, "So, where's the thermometer?"

"Thermometer..."

Pochi took out the thermometer from under his arm and handed it to the teacher.

"Um……"

The teacher didn't look at it for too long before concluding, "It looks like it's just a common cold. It should be fine after a few days of taking some medicine."

"Then... the day after tomorrow..."

Pochi was about to ask if he could get better before the day after tomorrow, but was interrupted by the teacher.

"It won't be okay. I don't know what activities you're going to be attending that day, but it's definitely going to have a big impact."

The teacher said as she took medicine for Pochi from the cabinet, "So, high school students nowadays really need to take better care of their health~"

"Well……"

"Okay, that's all, it should be fine."

Then he tore off a piece of sticky paper, wrote something on it, and handed it to Toyokawa Shoko who was sitting on the bed. "Just eat according to what is written on it."

"Why leave it to me..."

Toyokawa Shoko looked at the teacher in confusion.

"Of course, I'll hand her over to the guardian. Since you brought her here, you must take good care of her."

The infirmary teacher put her hands on her hips and said something that seemed to make sense, "Okay, the patient needs to rest. One of you can stay and take care of her. I have other things to do. If you need anything, just call the number on the duty roster~"

After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the infirmary.

Toyokawa Shoko almost believed it, if she hadn't winked at her at the end and gave her an expression that said 'I'm keeping my eye on you~'...

Toyokawa Shoko looked at the medicine in her hand, then looked at Deng who was sitting there, hesitant to speak. She stood up and walked to Deng, handed her the medicine and instructions, and said, "Deng, you take care of Pochi."

"Eh? Me?"

Deng was a little surprised, "But the teacher said..."

"She was just joking. Besides, your band has a lot of things to discuss."

"Um……"

"Okay, take care of Pochi. I'm going to go back first. If you need anything, just... ask Aine. She should be able to handle it."

Then Xiangzi turned and walked out of the infirmary and closed the door.

Yes, in the end they are my bandmates, they are the so-called "community of shared destiny", and I am still an outsider after all.

Those words that could not be said, let them rot in my heart...

Chapter 60 Guitar...Support?

Where is the light? It's already class time, but it hasn't come back yet. Chihaya Aine sat in her seat, but the seat in front of her was empty. The teacher asked around in class, but no one knew.

Nothing will happen...
