"Generally speaking, if there are conflicts in the band, I don't need to step in to resolve them. After all, I'm just there to provide support."

Seeing Li Xi's lack of response, Hai Ling continued, "But if Li Xi wants to ask me what to do, my advice is to talk to her in person. That's the most effective way to communicate."

After hearing Hailing's suggestion, Lixi was silent for a while.

Shiina Riki is not good at socializing, and he is well aware of this, but if he really has to confront Nagasaki Motoyo face to face, he should go first and not let Pochi and Deng get hurt again.

"I understand."

Li Xi raised his head, knowing what he should do, "If she still doesn't want to speak..."

Then, with some resolution, he said, "Thank you, Hailing."

"...To be honest, I didn't say anything. Li Xi, you should have had your own ideas a long time ago, right?"

Li Xi did not respond to Hai Ling's words and remained silent. She sometimes couldn't figure out what she was thinking, just like she often couldn't figure out what other people were thinking.

"It seems I don't need to say anything more,"

Hailing stood up and prepared to return to her seat. "I still say the same thing. Sometimes I envy you for being able to worry about the band's affairs."

"Really……"

Shiina Riki looked at Hailing's back, not quite understanding what she was thinking...

"Okay, upload successful~"

Miao Meng looked at the video he had just uploaded and stretched out in his chair.

"Today's work is over, it's time to relax~"

He spun his chair around shouting this and almost knocked over the instant noodles on the table next to him.

Then he jumped onto the bed and said, "Hmm~ Why can't I get paid in bed? I've been shooting and editing videos in front of the computer all day, and my back hurts."

Maybe because she often speaks to the camera at work, Miao Meng has developed the habit of talking to herself in private.

I lay on the bed and hammered my waist, and suddenly felt a pain.

"Oh, it would be nice if someone could give me a massage."

Thinking of this, I opened my phone and saw that my favorite app, 'Guitar Hero', had new updates.

"Great! I just finished work and there's Guitar Ying... No, I should call her Pochi now..."

Anyway, I didn’t dwell too much on Pochi’s name and clicked on the video of her playing the guitar.

Before the video even started playing, I saw the familiar, dark environment. Where on earth was this? "The attic? The corner of a dark room? He couldn't be playing guitar in the closet, could he?"

Moreover, today's 'guitar hero' changed out of the pink sweatshirt he had been wearing and put on... pajamas?

"No...why would someone record a video in pajamas? Hahahaha..."

Meow Meng, lying on the bed, swung her long legs back and forth. Luckily, no one else could see. "But... suddenly changing out of that sweatshirt is a bit too obvious. She changed her look just because she met Pochi, like Guitar Hero. It's kind of cute..."

Miao Meng turned over and lay on the bed with her phone on the pillow next to her ear, quietly listening to Boqi playing the guitar. Her restless heart slowly calmed down.

Pochi didn't play for long, just a simple improvisation, but it reminded Miaomeng of the first time she heard Guitar Hero.

……

"Guitar Hero? What's that?"

Yutenji Wakamu, who had just reached adulthood and entered the workforce, heard his senior colleague mention the strange name "Guitar Hero" and reacted like this: "A new children's anime also has band elements?"

"Huh? No way."

The senior took a big gulp of the ice-cold beer, and Ruomai followed suit, picking up the huge, terrifying beer mug and pouring the cold liquid into her stomach. To be honest, it didn't taste good at all...

The senior was in a much better mood when he saw Ruomai, who was so well-versed in the new drink, and said, "He's a guitar-playing video blogger, and he plays pretty well."

At this point, the senior suddenly revealed a somewhat proud expression, "Come to think of it, I was in a band when I was in school too, and I was the lead guitarist back then."

The senior picked up the beer and took another big gulp.

"Eh~ Really? Senior is so amazing..."

Ruomai, who had never been in a band before, was a little surprised. "Then... why did it end?"

I held the cold beer in my arms and took another sip. Sure enough, I still couldn't get used to it. Who on earth would like this stuff?

"Why did it end?"

When the senior heard Ruomai's question, he was slightly stunned. "Yeah... why?"

The senior looked at the empty beer in his glass and seemed to be lost in memories.

"It was just a simple graduation, then a part-time job, and then it ended up being like this now..."

In a daze, he took out his phone and checked the date as if to confirm. "It's been... five years... since I last played guitar..."

"oh oh……"

Ruomai, who was following his senior to the izakaya for the first time, didn't know what expression to show. He only heard his senior mumbling in a daze.

"I thought I could keep playing the guitar...why..."

……

'Jingle Bell'

The ringing of the phone interrupted the silence after the end of the "Guitar Hero" video, pulling Miao Meng back to reality from her memories.

I looked at the name on the call center prompt, hesitated for a moment, and finally answered the call.

"Hello? Mom."

"I know. I'm not a kid anymore. I know how to take care of myself."

"My current job is pretty good, so you and my dad don't have to worry about me."

"There's really nothing improper about it."

"What are you talking about?"

"Okay, enough talking, I have something else to do."

"My brother? Will he tell me?"

"With such a big age gap, of course there's nothing to talk about."

"Oh."

"Happy birthday……?"

Yutenji Wakamu moved the phone from his ear to his face and confirmed today's date, June 1st.

It’s indeed my...birthday...

I actually forgot...

"Thank you...thank you."

Yutenji Wakamai pinched his nose, feeling a little uncomfortable.

Sour...

Chapter 84 What to do.

In the Astronomy Club, Aine was practicing with her guitar. During a break, she looked at her phone and couldn't help but say to Pochi and Deng, "It's been three days, and Suyo-san really hasn't said a word."

Deng was bent over the table writing a report on the astronomy club's activities. Pochi was watching curiously from the side. When they heard Aine's words, they both turned their heads.

"Su Shi..."

Deng recalled Su Shi's appearance that day in his mind again. It was he or... no, it was the first time for everyone to see Su Shi like that.

So... Su Shi was really hurt.

Unlike the previous Crychic, Xiangzi quit and she said it was her own fault, but Su Shi is now unwilling to say anything, so it must be her own fault...

"I...want to apologize..."

Deng said out loud the thought that had been suppressed in her heart for a long time, "I don't know whether I should apologize to Su Shi, but she was indeed hurt."

"lamp……"

Aine opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say, and exchanged glances with Pochi.

"Let's... go find Su Shi, all together."

Pochi couldn't even believe that these words came out of his own mouth. Taking the initiative to find someone else... he never dared to think about it before.

"Now...now?"

Aine was a little surprised. She didn't expect Pochi to be so proactive.

"Yeah. Right now, Su Shi should still be in the club. If it's any later, we might not be able to find him."

"Okay... okay."

Will something go wrong if I don’t even say hello... Chihaya Aine thought.

-

"Is this...is this the Moon Forest? So magnificent."

At the entrance of Moon Forest, three people were looking inside, and Pochi sighed.

"Yes... As expected of a famous school for young ladies, no... that's not right!"

Aine followed Pochi's lead and sighed, then realized that now was not the time to sigh at the school gate. "Now, what should we do? We can't just wait at the school gate..."

Before Aiyin could finish her words, a light green figure walked slowly from the teaching building with its head lowered, completely unaware that three people were staring at her at the school gate.

……

Su Shi...still hadn't come to school. After watering the cucumbers, Mu prepared to go home alone as usual. But without Su Shi, there really was no one left to talk to in the class.

"Xiao Mu~"

As he was about to reach the school gate, he suddenly heard someone calling him. Ruoye Mu was stunned for a moment, because according to common sense, no one would call him so loudly.

She raised her head and looked around, only to find the Haneda trio at the school gate, and Aine was waving at her.

Are you...looking for Su Shi?

That's right, if he hadn't even come to school, it was certainly impossible for him to go to the band. After realizing this, Mu lowered his head again and walked towards the school gate.

"Um...Xiao Mu."

Aiyin spoke to Mu, who walked up to her without saying a word, "Excuse me, do you know Suyo-san..."

"No."

"Eh? You didn't come..."

"Su Shi, I asked for leave, saying I have a cold."

"Uh……"

After hearing this answer, Aine turned around and looked at Pochi and Touma behind her. "Now... what should we do?"

"First... let's go find Lixi first..."

Pochi finally took the initiative and went to the Moon Forest, but he didn't see any trace of Su Shi at all. Pochi didn't know what to do, so he had to ask Li Xi, who was the most opinionated.

"Then... Mu, do you want to come with me?"

Aine turned around and asked Mu, who had kept his head down.

Get a small nod.

"Then... let's go."

-

"Where's Pochi?"

"how could I know?!"

In the Ring Coffee Shop, Li Xi was dealing with Lenai. Or rather, he was accepting Lenai's harassment unilaterally.
