Guitar Hero also wants to play Kasuga Shadow!

"Also, stop playing with your guitar. I'll put it away for you."

Guitar……

The scene of the street live with Bochi Suyo two days ago came to my mind. I didn’t realize it at that time, but now I realize how luxurious it is to be able to play the guitar so freely.

No, if the guitar is put away...

"I do not want……"

"What did you say?"

Wakaba's father stopped what he was doing and looked up at his daughter. The last time she had said such a rejection to him was when she asked her not to have any contact with Toyokawa family's daughter, Toyokawa Shoko.

Ruoye's father thought so and stood up, walked to his daughter, and said, "I may have heard it wrong just now. Can you repeat it again?"

Wakaba Mu raised his head and looked up at his father and repeated it.

"I do not want."

"I don't mean..."

“I’m going to keep playing guitar.”

This was the first time that Ruoye Mu interrupted his father.

"Really."

Ruoye's father saw something in his daughter's eyes that he had not noticed before. "In that case, I will arrange a few more lessons for you."

After saying that, he returned to his seat in the study and continued working.

"Ah."

Mu responded and then walked out, closing the door.

Just a guitar...

【Xiangzi...please stay tonight.】

While taking a bath in the bathroom of Pochi's house, Toyokawa Shoko kept repeating Pochi's words in her mind. She agreed the moment she heard it without even thinking for a second.

Really...why does my brain stop working when I'm facing Pochi?

I'm sleeping at Pochi's house today, and I have to take a long detour to work tomorrow, which will cause trouble for Pochi, but... why do I just want to laugh?

No! Calm down! Toyokawa Shoko, calm down! It's just a staycation, nothing more. Didn't that white-haired guitarist stay at Pochi's house a few days ago?

Eh? Wait a minute...

Oh, right? I'm not actually the first person to stay at Pochi's house. Realizing this, Toyokawa Shoko suddenly felt a little lost, then quickly comforted herself. That guitarist—Rakuna, right? He looks like a child, so he must know nothing.

As a matter of fact, I was the first person to stay overnight at Pochi's house.

"Hey hey hey~"

Shoko Toyokawa, who hadn't enjoyed a bathtub for a long time, lay there with a smile on her face.

……

"Xiangzi...don't you need to tell your family?"

After taking a shower and finishing everything, they lay down facing each other and could feel each other's breath.

Of course, Xiangzi was also wearing Pochi's old pajamas that Lenai had worn last time.

"It's fine."

"Yes...yes."

She didn't even have to tell her family that she wasn't going home. Maybe there really was something wrong with Xiangzi's family. If she didn't tell me, it would be hard for me to ask...

Wait a minute! Before, Xiangzi wanted to say something but was interrupted by the alarm clock. Could it be about Xiangzi's family?

"Xiangzi...what were you trying to say just now? It was...when the alarm clock sounded."

Hearing Pochi mention that incident again, Xiangzi smiled. As expected, in the end, he still couldn't escape Pochi's tenderness...

"Pochi...can you make me...forget everything?"

Chapter 71: Surfing the Internet at home alone.

"What does it mean to forget everything?"

……

The next day, when Pochi woke up, Xiangzi was no longer by his side, and there was a note left on the table beside him.

[Pochi still has a cold, so I didn't wake you up. I have other things to do today, so don't worry about me.]

In the end, Xiangzi still didn't say what she was going to do... But Xiangzi is so independent, it's not my turn to worry.

I looked at the time, 10:17.

It's so late today. I really didn't sleep well last night. My mind is full of Xiangzi. When she held me in her arms yesterday, it seemed like... I really am a little addicted to Xiangzi's smell. Thinking of this, I glanced at the pajamas that Xiangzi had folded yesterday.

Xiangzi's...pajamas...

The bench by the street from last night appeared before my eyes again...

Lying in Xiangzi's arms, my mind was filled with her scent...

I feel like I've become a little weird since then.

When I came to my senses, I was already carefully holding the pajamas in my hands. These were my pajamas, so smelling them seemed reasonable...

Thinking of this, he slowly lifted the pajamas up to his eyes.

Xiang... Xiangzi's taste...

"What are you doing, sister?"

"Hmm?"

Turning around, Erli was standing at the door staring at him with innocent eyes, which made him feel even more guilty. He quickly put his pajamas behind him and said, "No... no, I'm going to wash them. Look, they were worn by Xiangzi yesterday..."

"Eh~"

Erli felt that her sister didn't seem to be going to wash the pajamas when she was holding them. "Mom is just about to do the laundry, so just give the pajamas to Mom."

"Eh?!"

I… I was planning to smell it more… but my mom was doing the laundry so I couldn’t help it. “I know…”

"By the way, Sister Xiangzi said not to think too much about what she said last night."

"Don't think too much?"

Xiangzi is referring to the things he 'forgot' last night?

"Well, Sister Xiangzi said she would tell me when the time is right."

"Yes...yes."

As expected, Xiangzi has his own things to do and his own plans. Wait a minute, "When did Xiangzi tell you that?"

"In the morning, when my sister is still sleeping in."

"Oh……"

As a sister, I feel really sorry for sleeping in until now...

No, wait a minute.

"Xiangzi, when did you leave?"

"I left around seven in the morning."

"So early?!"

"Yes, she also told me not to disturb my sister and let you sleep a little longer because my sister hasn't recovered from her cold yet."

"Okay... okay."

Xiangzi cares about me too much... Yesterday too, it was clearly her who was crying.

So, what should we do today?

Before this, the impending Live performance had always motivated me, but now that the Live is over, I don’t know what to do.

Right...By the way, Live, how's it going?

I took out my phone and clicked into the group chat, but the message history stopped before yesterday's Live.

Why... is everyone silent? Even if we didn't have a celebration party, we should still celebrate something...

Could it be that... after I left yesterday, everyone's performance suddenly collapsed, so there hasn't been a celebration party or anything? No... that's impossible. Everyone's skills are so good (Aine might need to work harder), and the other audience members in the audience were listening very attentively, and the atmosphere was really good, so why didn't anyone say anything after the live ended?

Pochi fell into deep thought...

-

It was another room where she was alone. Nagasaki Suyo had been lying on the bed without changing her clothes since she returned home from Ring last night, staring at Xiangzi's profile picture on her phone, hoping to get a reply from her.

But the night outside the window turned into day, and the battery of the mobile phone was running out, but I still didn't get a reply from Xiangzi.

[Battery low, will shut down in 10 seconds]

I stared at the notification on my phone expressionlessly. The ten-second countdown passed in a flash, and then the screen dimmed, revealing my haggard face from not sleeping that night.

Like a female ghost...

I put down my phone, lay flat on my bed, and thought about why it had turned out like this. We were so close back then, so united, working so hard together for the live, so why did it end up like this?

"Haruhi no Kage" clearly belongs to the past, to Crychic, yet Shoko is excluded?! This kind of thing doesn't make sense no matter how you think about it... And it came from Mutsu, who should be his best friend and childhood friend.

It really makes me feel sick...Wakaba Mu...

When I thought about seeing her again at school tomorrow and having to pretend that we were just ordinary classmates, I didn't want to go to school at all.

I turned over, my dead phone ignored. I curled up in a corner of the big bed, enduring the loneliness. The huge bedroom and the equally huge bed were no place for a lonely person like me...

"Oh... let's get some sleep..."

-

"Oh... let's get some sleep..."

Sanjiao Chuhua was lying in his rented house, staring blankly at the chat history between himself and Xiangzi a year ago.

I feel like I'm going to die if I don't get some sleep...

But if I don’t look at Xiangzi’s words of encouragement, I will die too…

goo...

Xiangzi went to Pochi's house yesterday...

What time did they stay? They didn't spend the night together...

No! Xiangzi staying overnight at another girl's house or something like that! No such thing!

But... Xiangzi probably wouldn't stay overnight. I remember when he was a child, his mother invited Xiangzi to sleep at her house for a night, but he refused. There were only a few families on the island at that time, and no one locked their doors at night.

Then there was no way she was going to agree to stay at someone else's house now. Yeah, that was definitely the case. They were just ordinary classmates. She had a cold, a fever, and fell down. Xiangzi was just sending her home because they were classmates. It was normal, nothing to worry about...

No, it’s time to go to bed. I have a photo shoot tonight. If I don’t get some sleep, no matter how thick my makeup is, it won’t be able to cover my dark circles.

Just as I put down my phone and closed my eyes to get ready for sleep, the ringing of my phone woke me up again.

"Who is it? In the middle of the day, no..."

The name on the call notification made him shut up.

I quickly sat up and took out a mirror to check if there was anything wrong with my hairstyle. It was fine, except for some dark circles under my eyes.

"Cough cough..."

I tested my voice to see if there were any strange sounds from not sleeping all night.

It's a bit dry, I need to drink some water.

He immediately picked up the water from the bedside table and took a sip.
