Guitar Hero also wants to play Kasuga Shadow!

"Pochi, I'm worried about her."

Xiangzi turned around and looked at Pochi, and found that she had lowered her head and did not notice his gaze.

"Um……"

"Really."

Toyokawa Shoko looked away, suddenly feeling a sense of discomfort. She slowed down her pace and came to a position alongside Pochi. "What does Pochi think of Sushi?"

"Sushi... is very gentle, like a mother. She always supports everyone in the band."

At this point, Pochi looked up and found that Xiangzi was no longer in front of him but beside him. He then turned to Xiangzi and said, "I feel... our band cannot do without her."

"Really……"

Hearing this, Xiangzi turned his head and looked straight ahead, not looking at Pochi. Suddenly, he wanted to change the subject, "By the way, I haven't told Pochi about AveMujica yet."

"Yes... yes, AveMu... Mu what?"

"It's Mujica."

Xiangzi smiled and said, "I want to start a commercial band, just like I told you before, to support myself through the band."

"That's... great."

I've been thinking for a long time that after I graduate from school, I won't be able to find a job, and I'll just be able to play guitar. If I could really make a living playing guitar, that would be great.

"And... I have more to do than just support myself. I... have other things I must do."

"Something I have to do?"

"Yep."

Toyokawa Shoko hesitated for a moment, then slowly spoke to Pochi, "Pochi saw it just now, my family. For various reasons, my father and I were kicked out, and now he just drinks every day and does nothing. So, I can only work harder to get back what used to be mine with my own hands."

"Xiangzi..."

Xiangzi spoke very slowly, as if every word he said was depriving her of something.

“So, this band is a gamble.”

"gamble?"

"Yes, if this band fails, I will be worthless to the family and may never be able to return."

At this point, Xiangzi looked forward again, not daring to face Pochi's next response to his question, "Pochi, are you willing to go on with me?"

"Yes, I do."

"It's not that easy..."

"Well, even if... Mujaka really fails, I will continue to walk with Xiangzi."

Hearing this answer, Xiangzi stood there in a daze. It was clearly... it was clearly just a question of whether she was willing to join the band, but she...

"Ah... I'm not saying anything bad about the band,"

Pochi didn't notice Xiangzi's condition and continued walking forward, "I don't even know who the other members are..."

Only then did he realize that Xiangzi had fallen behind, and he turned around and asked, "Xiangzi?"

He only reacted after hearing his own name, "I... I'm fine..."

After S finished speaking, he found something sliding down the corner of his eye.

"Eh?……"

I... cried?

I haven't cried since I left the Toyokawa family, the place where I had lived for more than ten years. Why are tears coming out now?

He quickly turned around, not wanting to expose his embarrassment to Pochi, and reached out to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes, "I'm fine, really fine..."

"I...did I say something wrong?!"

Pochi realized what Xiangzi was doing with his back to him, "I...I...I..."

But Xiangzi had his back to her, clearly not wanting her to see him. What should I do at a time like this? Could someone teach me?

"Pochi..."

Xiangzi suddenly spoke, interrupting Pochi's wandering thoughts.

"Yes!"

Wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes, Shoko Toyokawa turned her head and smiled - it was the first time she had smiled so sincerely since she left the Toyokawa family's house.

"Knowing Pochi... is the best gift I've ever received..."

early summer.

evening.

Pochi looked at the blue-haired girl whom he had only known for a short time, and his definition of "friend" became a little vague.

Xiangzi and I...

Is it a friend?

Just friends?

Can we... not just be friends anymore?

The constant chirping of insects in summer, the slightly hot breeze, and my rapid heartbeat.

And... the tears that sparkled in the corners of Xiangzi's eyes when he smiled...

Make yourself forget to breathe for a moment...

-

"Po...why is Pochi with Xiangzi?"

Nagasaki Suyo stared at their hands lying together and tried hard to force an ugly smile.

"Because... because..."

"It has nothing to do with Su Shi."

Xiangzi interrupted Pochi and did not want to tell Sushi what had just happened. Whether it was the matter of the Toyokawa family, the matter of AveMujica, or the matter with Pochi just now, he did not want Sushi to know.

"Yes...yes, I asked too much."

Su Shi showed a lonely expression for a moment, then tried to smile again, "Thank you Xiaoxiang for coming to meet me today."

"white……"

Just as Pochi was about to speak, Xiangzi shook his hand again, signaling him not to speak.

Su Shi saw all of this and could only bite the bullet and continue, "Please don't blame Xiao Mu. I was the one who forced her to bring me to your house."

"Um……"

Ruoye Mu whispered in agreement from the side.

But Xiangzi still had a blank expression on his face, as if he didn't care at all about what Su Shi said.

"I'm sorry, I really want to apologize to you."

Pochi looked at Xiangzi's eyes cautiously, then looked at Mu behind Su Shi, and always felt... something was not right. Was there any misunderstanding between them?

"Everyone, we didn't plan on playing 'Haruhi no Kage'."

Seeing that Xiangzi had remained silent, Su Shi could only quickly get to the point, "Xiao Mu, it's the same. It was just because the atmosphere at the scene was right that I... didn't stop everyone. It's my fault... I'm really... sorry."

"You really are good at pretending that it's all for me."

"Eh?"

"It's your freedom to play. I don't blame anyone."

Xiangzi glanced at Mu behind Su Shi and said, "After all, not being able to listen to your performance in its entirety is my fault as an audience member."

It’s just my problem…

The same words brought back bad memories for Su Shi.

On that rainy day, I had the same conversation with Xiangzi, but it ended up like that... If I had said something better at that time, would Xiangzi not have left?

Every sleepless night, Nagasaki Suyo always has such a vague dream.

"But, Kasuga Shadow is an important game for Crychic..."

"It's really unbecoming to keep clinging to the past."

"Eh?"

"You should have forgotten about it by now. Like I said, the band can go on without me."

Forget something...that's...

"Why, why do you have to forget about it? We were so harmonious back then. Happy every day, all together. It's so strange that we're all going our separate ways all of a sudden. It's what Xiaoxiang said, a band... is a community of shared destiny."

"destiny……"

Xiangzi muttered to himself, then looked down at his hand still clasped with Pochi's, and reaffirmed his conviction, "Then what about that band? Aren't they a community of shared destiny?"

"That's different! That's just for Cry..."

Having said this, Nagasaki Suyo shut her mouth, knowing that she had lost her mind and said the wrong thing. At the same time, she looked at their still clenched hands with resentment.

"You said that was just for Crychic?!"

Hearing this, Xiangzi became incredibly angry. He loosened his grip on Pochi's hand, took a step forward, and questioned, "Are you planning to abandon Pochi at any moment?!"

92

Chapter 92: Willing to do anything.

"Eh?"

When he was suddenly mentioned, Pochi was stunned for a moment and didn't react to what Xiangzi meant.

"No...it's not like that...I just..."

"Just what? You're using Pochi and Chihaya Aine, who want to form a band, to bring back Deng and Riki. So that's your plan?"

Xiangzi turned to look at Mu beside him and said, "Mu, do you know that she thinks this way?"

"..."

Mu lowered his head in silence. He had indeed noticed this kind of thing a long time ago, but for fear of hurting others, he did not mention it to anyone.

"Really,"

Seeing Mu's reaction, Xiangzi understood and continued to say to Su Shi, "I'm telling you now, Crychic has been destroyed and there is no possibility of resurrection."

"Eh……"

The cold words sentenced Nagasaki Suyo to death, causing her to suddenly feel a pang of pain, "Why...why..."

Pochi stared blankly at Sushi, never expecting her to stoop so low. Mu couldn't bear to watch any longer and turned his head away.

"Please, I really want Crychic to start over."

"Tsk..."

Having said that, why is she still unwilling to give up?

"I want to go back to our happy times. Xiaodeng and Lixi think so too! Call Xiaomu, and ask Xiaoxiang to come back too."

"Is that right?"

Toyokawa Shoko narrowed her eyes and looked at Mu behind Su Shi.

"I……"

Wakaba Mu opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single word. Although everyone was indeed happy during the Crychic period, at this point, Mu no longer yearned for such ethereal things.

"Eh?!"

Nagasaki Suyo turned back in disbelief. She hadn't expected Mu to sabotage her at this moment. You've been watching from the sidelines for over a year now... If this were to happen now, wouldn't everything she'd done before be meaningless?

"Why... am I the only one like this..."

Nagasaki Suyo recalled every little thing that happened in the past year and felt more and more like a clown.
