Guitar Hero also wants to play Kasuga Shadow!

"I'm sorry to have worried Pochi, but after today, things should be better, no matter what the outcome is..."

Xiangzi was unsure about what he was going to do next, so he could only hold Pochi's warm and soft hand tightly, "Thank you... Pochi for being with me today."

"No… not today."

Pochi shook his head.

"Ok?"

Xiangzi didn't understand what Pochi meant.

"After today... tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow... I should be with Xiangzi, always..."

Xiangzi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then he smiled with relief, "Pochi always pays attention to details like this. Thank you, I feel much better now."

"No...it's okay."

He let go of his hand, rubbed Pochi's head, and then clicked on the message to reply.

[Wait for me in the park later, I have something else to do]

-

"This... this is..."

Pochi followed Xiangzi to the gate of a retro and elegant mansion or manor?

"my home……"

Toyokawa Shoko looked up at her old room. After hearing what Pochi said, she took out the key and opened the retro iron door. "My...old home..."

"My previous? ...home?"

Although he was kicked out of the family along with his father, they still gave him a little face, or charity.

After all, for them, it was their father who made the mistake, and if they wanted to, they could still come back here with the key and wag their tail at them like a dog.

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and buried all the warm memories of his life here. Then he turned around and said to Pochi, who was still in a daze, "Pochi, it's enough for you to accompany me here. I can handle the rest by myself."

"Eh?"

Pochi didn't quite understand what Xiangzi wanted to say.

"I'm sorry, but I wasn't strong enough at school to come here alone."

Xiangzi lowered his head and stood in front of the retro iron gate. "That's why I found Pochi. I want you to give me courage."

Courage...courage? Pochi faced Xiangzi and felt that the Xiangzi of today was so unfamiliar. He had no idea how to respond. His social experience over the past decade or so told him that he could just obey her wishes. That's how he had gotten by in the past...

As long as you listen to others and do what they want you to do, there will be no problem.

"oh oh."

After hearing Pochi's affirmative answer, Toyokawa Shoko also laughed. Yes, she had asked Pochi to do too much, and she shouldn't let her face these things that she should have faced alone.

"That……"

Toyokawa Shoko pushed open the iron door. The sound of the door hinges being pushed open was very harsh at this moment. "Pochi...goodbye."

Having said this, Toyokawa Shoko turned and walked into the old house she longed to return to, yet completely disliked. The sound of the iron gate slowly closing behind her was like a mockery of her fate. In the past, she had walked in and out of this place every day without finding it jarring, but now it was unbearable.

But the shrill sound suddenly ended, and the sound of the iron gate closing did not come as expected. I turned around suddenly and found that it was Pochi who was holding the iron gate, and half of his body had already walked in.

"Po...Pochi?"

Toyokawa Shoko was a little confused.

"I... I don't know why, but I just feel like if Xiangzi goes in alone, something bad will happen..."

Just now, I was outside, watching Xiangzi through the iron gate. It felt like she was trapped in a prison, unable to escape. And... past experience... I didn't have any friends back then. If this so-called experience is just this kind of thing, doesn't it mean that I need to make changes?

When I came to my senses, before I could figure out what was going on, my body had already started moving, holding onto the iron door that was about to close with both hands.

"What could possibly happen to me..."

Xiangzi gave a wry smile and said, "No matter how far apart we are, they are still my relatives."

"No... No, I feel like if Xiangzi goes alone... something bad might happen..."

Something bad? Toyokawa Shoko didn't expect Pochi to care about her so much, and the weakness buried in her heart was about to emerge again. No... She raised her head and looked at the sunset in the sky. If this goes on, she will become weak again...

-

"Isn't this the daughter of the stray dog ​​who was driven out? She's back with her tail between her legs again?"

As Toyokawa Shoko walked into the living room, she heard this rather aggressive statement. "Excuse me for being blunt, but if my father is defined as a lost dog, then you should be in a coffin, too."

"you!"

The middle-aged man, who was retorted, was immediately defeated and stood up from his seat. "You are still as sharp-tongued as before..."

Then he noticed Pochi following behind Xiangzi. He was wearing a tacky tracksuit and had a guitar on his back. He looked so timid that he looked easy to bully. "Who is this? How can an outsider be present at the Toyokawa family meeting..."

"cough!"

A slightly older female voice rang out, coming from the elderly woman sitting in the middle of the table. The middle-aged man who had stood up tactfully shut up and sat down again.

"It's Xiangzi's freedom to take whoever she wants with her."

The old woman addressed the others present, "And what we are going to discuss today has nothing to do with her father."

Then the old woman turned to look at Xiangzi and said, "Xiangzi, come here, let me see you."

Although he was a little reluctant, he still walked towards the old woman after hesitating for a while, "Yes, grandma..."

As I took a step forward, I remembered Pochi behind me. I turned around and saw her standing there in a daze, looking around nervously, obviously not used to this kind of environment.

So Xiangzi grabbed Pochi's hand and pulled them to the old woman - Grandma.

"Who is this……"

"my friend."

Xiangzi deliberately emphasized his friend's tone, blocking his grandmother's sight from looking at Pochi, "She is a little shy."

"That's it."

Xiangzi's grandmother smiled, not caring too much about the shyness. Instead, she was more interested in the 'friend' in the previous sentence. She smiled and said, "What about the daughter of the Ruoye family? I thought she would be the most likely one to bring someone with her."

"She's... a little busy."

"Really? They're indeed a family in the entertainment industry."

The old woman smiled and didn't delve into the issue any further. She changed her tone to a more serious one, "So, what is the topic we want to discuss today?"

"Ave…Mujica."

89

Chapter 89 You come to take care of Xiangzi.

"Band, you are so naive."

Another middle-aged man nearby listened to Xiangzi's words, looked at the materials she had provided, and immediately began to pour cold water on her. "Do you think there are so few bands these days? That you can just start a band and make money?"

“Of course not any random band, but this is my band.”

Toyokawa Shoko displayed a completely different aura at this moment, "Because this is my band, we can succeed."

"you?"

The middle-aged man put down the materials in his hand and said, "I'm sorry, I don't understand bands, and I don't know how much you can do for them. I can't give you resources just like that."

You don't understand bands... Even though you're an investor in several agencies, Xiangzi didn't say what he was thinking. He had already prepared himself for a lot of hassles before arriving today.

"Even if you don't know much about bands, you should know Sumimi. Mujica will debut in the shortest possible time. Chuhua alone can bring in traffic, and the other members are all professional-level, so they're competitive enough."

"Debuting in a short time means more investment in early publicity and promotion, right?"

The middle-aged man pointed out the key point. "And you mentioned Sumimi's Chuhua. I don't think she will focus her energy on you. Regarding this agreement, I..."

"cough."

Xiangzi's grandmother coughed and signaled the man to stop. "Chuhua, I still remember what she looked like when she was a child. It hasn't been long since she became such a beautiful idol. Time flies."

As he spoke, he looked at Xiangzi beside him and said, "I still remember when I held you and coaxed you to sleep."

"grandmother……"

Her words made the atmosphere less serious, but also made Xiangzi a little confused. Was it not appropriate to say such things in such an occasion?

"I trust Chuhua. Since she chose to join your band in Sumimi, Xiangzi, she must have her own considerations."

Grandma actually spoke up for him. This was beyond Xiangzi's expectation.

But Xiangzi's grandmother turned her gaze to Pochi, who had been silent and looking around nervously behind Xiangzi. "So... what about this kid? Will he join the band?"

"Eh? Me?..."

Xiangzi's grandmother's words drew everyone's attention to Pochi. She had never even heard of AveMujica before, so why did they suddenly let her join?!

"Tsk..."

Xiangzi narrowed his eyes, blocking his grandmother's view of Pochi as she smiled. How did she know I wanted Pochi to join? But he had to answer at this time. Everyone else was still looking at him and Pochi. "Yes, I intend to let her join, but I haven't invited her yet."

"She'll be a band member too?"

Someone else in the room spoke up, "With all due respect, she doesn't seem to fit your description of all the band members being professionals."

"Please don't make any comments if you haven't seen her performance!"

Xiangzi responded to his words quickly, emphasizing his tone and showing that he was obviously angry.

"Xiangzi..."

Being angry because of herself, Pochi felt even more uneasy, and whispered Xiangzi's name, while also moving closer to her.

"It's fine."

Hearing Pochi's voice, Xiangzi held Pochi's hand and said, "Just leave it to me."

"Xiangzi, bring the child over here. I want to see her."

Grandma spoke at this time, and Pochi's hands clenched unconsciously.

"No need, she..."

"If I don't take a good look at her, how can I be sure that the band can continue to form normally?"

Grandma's words made Xiangzi feel angry. The feeling of being controlled and played with by others was disgusting, but he couldn't refuse.

He looked back at Pochi, and she looked at him and slowly nodded in agreement.

"Wait, Pochi, you don't have to say anything."

After whispering this in her ear, he took her hand and walked to her grandmother.

"What's your name?"

The woman sitting on the chair spoke slowly.

"Goto Ichiri."

Xiangzi was the first to answer for Pochi, which attracted the attention of his grandmother.

"I'm not asking you, Xiangzi."

This was a warning. Toyokawa Shoko had nothing to say, gritted her teeth and stared at her grandmother. If she did anything strange, she could just take Pochi away. AveMujica and the like weren't that important.

"Come, come here,"

The old woman extended her hand to greet Pochi, and when she came a little closer, she spoke again, "What's your name?"

"Goto Ichiri."

"Goto Ichiri..."

She muttered to herself, searching her memory for any information about the name, but found nothing. "I haven't heard of it before. You and Xiangzi haven't known each other for long, have you?"

She wasn't a famous musician, nor was she Xiangzi's closest playmate. So why had Xiangzi chosen to bring her here? Xiangzi's grandmother pondered. Logically, she wouldn't be surprised if either the Wakaba family's daughter or Sumimi's Chuhua were here. It was more likely that Xiangzi had come alone. But she had chosen a girl she had never heard of.

Why? ...

"Um……"

Pochi had no idea what the person opposite him was thinking, so he just lowered his head and answered the question, "I just... transferred here, and I'm in the same class as Xiangzi..."
