Guitar Hero also wants to play Kasuga Shadow!

"Really,"

Even if they were classmates, they wouldn't be brought here like this. "Besides being classmates, what is your relationship with Xiangzi?"

"Eh?"

Still... still what's the relationship?

Pochi wanted to turn around and ask Xiangzi for help but was interrupted by her holding his hand, "I'm asking you."

At the same time, his fingertips were touched by the other person, "You are a guitarist, just like Hemu and Chuhua..."

With his fingers pinched by the other party, Pochi was so nervous that he couldn't speak. "I... I, I, we are friends..."

"Friends?"

To be honest, he was a little disappointed with the answer, but he still took her hand and pulled her closer to him, and asked in a voice that Xiangzi couldn't hear, "How is Xiangzi doing?"

"Eh?"

The change of topic and the closer distance made Pochi even more nervous. "It's... it's okay... No, no... not so good."

He didn't respond for a moment, waiting until the child calmed down a bit before asking, "Good or bad?"

"Although... although Xiangzi doesn't want to say it, she usually looks very tired and doesn't eat well..."

Pochi couldn't understand why Xiangzi had such a hard life even though his grandmother lived in such a place. He had no idea what was going on. So, while Xiangzi was still thinking, he continued, "Why... why didn't you take good care of Xiangzi?"

"Ok?"

I never expected that this nervous-looking kid, who looked completely unaccustomed to such an occasion, would proactively question me, "Do you want to take good care of Xiangzi?"

"Ah."

Pochi mustered up the courage to look into the other person's eyes and nodded.

"Really."

Now I seem to understand why Xiangzi brought her here. "Something happened and I can't take care of her."

"This...is like this..."

Yeah, I should have thought of it earlier.

"Then, can you help me take care of Xiangzi?"

"Eh...Eh?"

Chapter 90: Do you want to take care of me so much?

"I...I take care of Xiangzi? Is that true?"

Although there have been similar expressions before, what's the point of this 'I'm entrusting the child to you' look?!

"What's wrong? Don't want to?"

Grandma looked at Bochi's hesitant expression. Didn't she understand I was giving Xiangzi a way out? If she agreed now, I could give Xiangzi's band the resources she wanted. Why was he still looking down? I wondered what he was thinking.

"That... that..."

Pochi lowered his head and thought for a long time, then raised his head and finally organized his words, "If I...if I take care of Xiangzi...should I let her come to my house?"

"Clam?"

What is this child saying?

"Ah...I don't mean to be unwilling."

Pochi misunderstood her meaning, "It's just... I have a younger sister at home. If Xiangzi comes to my house, he may not have his own room, but... he may not be used to it."

This kid... is really considering taking care of Xiangzi?

"Although... although Xiangzi did come to stay once before, but if I were to stay there for a long time... and if I were to go to Xiangzi's house to take care of her, my family might not agree..."

Grandma looked at Xiangzi's expression behind Pochi and saw that she was clenching her fists and blushing, as if Pochi's words made her feel ashamed. But because of the band's affairs, she could only endure it and glared at the grandmother who was bullying Pochi.

Pochi continued, "Besides... I can't cook or anything... If you leave it to me, I might just buy bento... Ah... I don't mean that bento is not nutritious..."

"Ah,"

At this point, grandma finally couldn't hold back her laughter and said, "Hahahaha...you are such an interesting child."

"Eh?"

Did I say something wrong? I turned around and looked at Xiangzi. She also had a complicated expression on her face...

Could it be that I messed up?! I don't want to do that!

"Okay, Xiangzi was right to bring you here."

If it was Mu, he'd probably just keep his head down and say nothing. If it was Chu Hua, even though we hadn't met since we grew up, he'd probably have seen what I was thinking from the start and nodded in agreement. No one could be as interesting as this kid.

"Xiangzi, do whatever you want to do. We will support you."

"You...you mean..."

Xiangzi went up first to pull Pochi back and stood in front of her, "Let me make it clear first, I won't let you do anything to her."

"What do you think your grandmother is? An old woman who eats children?"

I'm in a very good mood now and even started joking.

It still felt a bit surreal. She had agreed so easily. Much easier than she'd expected... After all, she wasn't like this when she was kicked out.

"Why, you just don't believe grandma's words? I didn't lie to you."

"……Yes."

She had indeed never told a lie, whether when she was a child or on the day she left here, "Then we'll say goodbye first."

Pulling Pochi's hand, he slowly walked backwards.

"What? You're not staying for dinner?"

Grandma smiled and said to Pochi, "Or would the lunch box you bought be more to your liking?"

"Don't worry about it."

"Don't you want to say goodbye? Kids nowadays are so rude."

"Eh? Then... bye... bye."

"Okay, Pochi, let's go."

Xiangzi said as he pushed Pochi out the door. He looked back at the house he hadn't been back to for over a year, and then he walked out as well. Just like over a year ago...

……

"Master, isn't this... a bit hasty?"

After Xiangzi and Pochi left, another person at the table asked, "If we just agree to her request, she will..."

"But what?"

"Uh……"

"Is it enough to do your own thing, or do you want to do something else?"

"No...no..."

"Okay, that's it."

He stood up and left, glancing at the direction where Xiangzi and the others had just left.

At least there is someone taking care of me, so I can feel more at ease.

-

"Pochi, are you okay?"

Coming out of her old home, closing the iron gate, and immediately turning around to care for Pochi, this environment must have been too much for her. And... for some reason, grandma had taken a keen interest in Pochi.

Even though I have her support for the band, I'm not sure if that's a good thing. If she wants Pochi to do something she doesn't want to do, I definitely won't allow it.

"Eh? No...it's okay."

Although I was indeed not used to that kind of environment, fortunately I didn't do anything beyond my ability.

And... Xiangzi's grandmother asked her to take care of Xiangzi... Is this a joke or a condition for agreeing to Xiangzi's request?

"What's wrong? Pochi...are you tired?"

It was indeed his own fault that he dragged her around. He still had to go to the park later, and what his grandmother said just now might cause trouble for Pochi. "How about Pochi, go home first. I have something else to take care of."

"I... I have to take care of Xiangzi, so of course I have to go with you."

"puff……"

Although I was thinking about the troubles of my grandmother and Su Shi just now, I was now amused by Pochi's innocence, "That was a joke."

"Eh? No...can't take care of Xiangzi anymore?"

Xiangzi was startled when he heard this, and then he felt a warm feeling in his heart. Then he became interested and took a step forward, "Pochi, do you want to take care of me so much?"

-

"Xiaoxiang...isn't he here yet?"

Next to the fountain in Asukayama Park, Nagasaki Suyo stared in a daze at the ripples created by the fountain.

Although Xiaoxiang said she was busy, she still came here early, hoping to see her and apologize to her sooner. She also wanted to make her apology seem more sincere by waiting here.

However, looking at the ripples created by the fountain on the water surface, my heart is just as restless as the water surface.

"Xiao Mu, today, I will definitely revive Crychic."

Without looking back, he spoke to Mu and to himself as if to cheer himself up.

But Mu, standing behind Su Shi, only tightened his grip on the shoulder strap of his schoolbag after hearing these words. He was a little unpredictable about what would happen next.

Asukayama Park, the park Xiangzi was talking about must be here, where she and Xiangzi often played together when they were little. But...it's because it's very close to Xiangzi's home, her old home. Now Xiangzi's home is not far from here, so choosing this place...is Xiangzi negotiating with his family?

If Ye Mu didn't understand, she wouldn't be able to do this. She was just a puppet, unable to negotiate with the hands that controlled her. Otherwise, there wouldn't be such a result...

Still as silent as ever? Nagasaki Suyo didn't turn around, still staring at the pond, enjoying the quiet before meeting Xiangzi.

It would be better not to say anything when Xiangzi comes later, Nagasaki Suyo thought so, and then turned her head as if she felt something.

Sure enough, the figure he had been thinking about appeared before him.

"Small……"

Before she could even finish her greeting, her expression changed from surprise to shock, and she glared at the discordant pink behind Xiangzi, "Pochi?!"

Chapter 91: Community of Shared Destiny.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. We have somewhere to go next."

Xiangzi walked in front and spoke to Pochi while leaning sideways.

"Where else are we going?"

Pochi followed behind, still feeling the lingering fear of what happened at Toyokawa's house. How did he manage to say so many words in one breath... It was terrifying.

"Um……"

Pochi probably hasn't contacted Sushi recently, so it's better to give her a heads-up first, "Go see Sushi and Mu."

"Su... Su Shi?"

"Yeah, she's still stuck in the past, even though Crychic ended a long time ago."

Whenever Su Shi is mentioned, I think of the message she sent to me on the phone a long time ago. If she hadn't blocked it now, it would definitely be more excessive than before.

"Ugh……"

Toyokawa Shoko sighed. She really didn't want to see her, but if she didn't respond, she'd probably keep harassing Mu... After all, she'd been the one who approached her about forming a band, so she had to show up.

"After that day...Su Shi stopped talking in the group..."

Pochi lowered his head and said, "I went to look for her but couldn't find her home. I went to school and found out that she had taken a leave of absence... How is she doing?"
