Guitar Hero also wants to play Kasuga Shadow!

Whether it’s the double bass in the wind section, or Crychic and the current band, they all need such a role and they will choose it themselves.

Instead of competing with everyone for the most popular trumpet player in the orchestra, I could just sit in the corner and play the double bass, taller than anyone else, in obscurity. It would be better for me to do this kind of thing myself...

With this mentality, I followed my classmates to join the wind band. Then, because I had experience with bass instruments, Xiangzi invited me to join Crychic to learn bass.

Now he understood that Xiangzi was attracted to him not because of Nagasaki Suyo but because of the bass violin.

but……

It seems a little too late for me to understand this kind of thing.

I looked out the window hesitantly, remembering that not long ago I had a home in the band. Although it didn't have a name, it could more or less fill the emptiness in my heart.

I felt a bit regretful about what happened at the cultural center that day. I took out the grievances I suffered from Xiangzi on Pochi, which affected Li Xi, who had a bad temper. My subsequent misconduct was out of control and I was in an irreversible situation.

in case……

If they are still willing to pull me along...

The reason why I was reluctant to leave the band's chat group was...

At this moment, the mobile phone on the table lit up, attracting his attention. It was the band group, but there was only a simple sentence.

【Lixi.

Come to Ring for rehearsal this afternoon. 】

rehearse?!

Su Shi picked up the phone in a panic, blinked, and checked the message again.

rehearse……

After what happened last time, Li Xi should have known that it was impossible for him to go to rehearsal.

Then... without the bass...

"Su Shi?"

A concerned voice came from the classmate next to me, "Don't you want to go to karaoke?"

So... Su Shi also understood at this moment, it was...

He took his phone under the table, looked up and smiled at the classmates around him, "No, let's go to karaoke~"

"Okay~"

In the happy atmosphere around him, he clenched his fists and operated the mobile phone with his right hand.

Finally, he looked down at his phone and saw the [Exit] button on it. After a brief hesitation, he pressed his thumb.

Exit this group chat...

Quit this band that still has no name...

It turns out that I am not needed anymore...

Chapter 123 My name is Hachiman Hailing, and there are thirty bands competing.

"Mr. Sushi has left the group chat."

Aine said anxiously as Pochi entered the Astronomy Club.

"Eh?"

Exiting a group chat does not notify others like a message. Boqi, who only saw Lixi's message in the morning and did not click on the chat interface, only learned about this now.

"Mr. Sushi has left the group chat. Will he still come to training?"

Aine raised her head and asked, but she already knew the answer in her heart. They all chose to leave silently, so they definitely won't come.

"she……"

After experiencing the confrontation between Su Shi and Xiangzi in the park that night, and going to find Su Shi with Li Xi, Pochi knew that he should be the person who knew what happened best.

Su Shi only withdrew after Li Xi informed everyone that the rehearsal would begin in the afternoon. Could it be that she was actually waiting for someone to pull her back?

Pochi could understand this feeling. Watching others chatting, he wanted to join in but didn't know how to start.

「Ah, if only someone could pull me to join them...」

But in the end, they didn't notice me in the corner, and left from my sight with laughter.

Is it the same with the current Su Shi...?

Even though he said such harsh words to Li Xi and me that day, I still felt like Su Shi was calling for help.

"If Su Shi doesn't come, how can we rehearse without the bass?"

Aine continued, turning to look at the lamp sitting in front of the desk, "Tomorin, what do you think?"

"Su Shi, I won't quit..."

Deng spoke hesitantly, responding to Aine but also trying to convince herself, "We've made a promise, so... Sushi, I won't back out..."

But no matter how much he hypnotized himself, the message on his phone that Su Shi had quit the group chat would not disappear, and the number of people on the chat interface that was 4 would not change to 5. In the end, he still lost his confidence.

Will the band...end like this again? Deng turned to look at Pochi. Although he didn't know what happened over the weekend, he felt that Pochi knew something that he didn't. He looked into Pochi's eyes, hoping for an answer.

At this moment, Aiyin's cell phone, which was not muted and placed on the table, made a notification sound, attracting the attention of the three people.

【Lixi.

I have to be on duty today, so I will be a little late this afternoon. 】

Aine was stunned for a moment when she saw the news, then she picked up her phone angrily, "What does Riki mean? Didn't she see that Su Shi-san had left the group? And she still said something like that so nonchalantly?!"

As he said that, he wanted to enter the group chat to question Li Xi.

“Ai…Aine, wait a minute…”

Knowing that Li Xi was planning to find a new bassist, Pochi walked over and grabbed Aine, "Let's ask Li Xi in person this afternoon."

"But she..."

Seeing Pochi’s worried look, unlike her own, Aine realized that Pochi might know something and calmed down a bit, “Then… let’s talk about it this afternoon…”

Could it be that Lixi and Pochi did something together that I don’t know about?

Aine and Deng had the same thought at this moment.

-

"Eh? Why?!"

Aiyin put her hands on her hips and glared at Li Xi who had just arrived at Ring.

"As I said, we're looking for a new bassist, and we've found the right person."

"Wait a minute, where's Sushi-san?"

Aine was a little angry, or rather very angry. Was it really okay to bring in new band members before having a good talk with Su Shi?

"That guy is beyond saving."

She said that she didn't need Aine and Pochi. She had the heart to say such hurtful words in front of Pochi. She didn't take the band seriously at all.

However, there was no need to let Aine and Touma know about this.

No hope...

Deng, who was sitting on the sofa beside him, was stunned for a moment in disbelief when he heard this. Then he turned sadly to look at Pochi beside him and gave him a questioning look.

"Well……"

Having never experienced such a thing before, Pochi didn't know how to respond and could only look away.

"What do you mean there's no hope..."

Although she already had a premonition, Aine still hoped that Su Shi would keep the agreement they had made with everyone. "I don't understand what you are saying at all. Although she did ignore us...it's possible that we misunderstood."

"Why……"

Unable to get an answer from Pochi, Deng turned to look at Li Xi and asked, "Why do you say it's not possible?"

Facing Deng's question, Li Xi couldn't hide it, "I talked to that guy."

"Wait, call us too!"

"That rascal……"

Li Xi looked at Pochi beside Deng and hesitated whether to say these things, "Pochi and I..."

The sound of the automatic door interrupted their argument.

"Awaited."

Hachiman Hailing changed into the leather jacket she usually wore when she went out for support, and walked in carrying her bass box. She looked at the expressions of the people in front of her and realized that things were indeed not as simple as she had expected.

Hailing turned to look at the surprised Pochi and nodded. Deng and Aine were a little confused, not sure what the relationship was between this cool bassist and Pochi.

"Let's start now."

Hailing withdrew her gaze and looked at Lixi. After all, it was she who invited her to come for support.

"Well, let's go."

Li Xi didn't want to continue the previous topic, so he turned and walked towards the rehearsal room.

"Wait a minute!"

Aine held out her hand, wanting an explanation, but Li Xi didn't even turn around. Now she could only look at Pochi, who might know something. "Pochi... do you know something?"

"I……"

"So you know something, Su Shi's withdrawal from the group, the new bassist, etc..."

Deng listened to Aine's words and looked towards Pochi.

"Well……"

"But what Pochi doesn't want to say might really be something bad. I believe Pochi."

Aine said as she pulled Pochi and Touma up from the couch, "Let's try rehearsing first."

It's just... I feel a little bit unwilling. Is Pochi hiding something from me?

……

Good... so hardcore...

Deng and Bochi stared blankly at Hailing taking out the bass from the box, then skillfully tuning and testing it.

But is it really necessary to tune an instrument that you use so often? Aiyin looked down at her guitar. The tuning was just about right. Did she really need to tune it so precisely? Or was she just some kind of perfectionist with obsessive-compulsive disorder?

I didn't know what Aiyin beside me was thinking. I just tried to be businesslike as usual. After tuning the music, I turned to look at Li Xi, "Where's the sheet music?"

"here."

Looking at the music score and immediately getting into the mood to start playing is Hailing's most basic skill as a mercenary, but it is different in the eyes of Aine and Deng.

"I see."

"Yeah, that feels good."

Good... so awesome...

Aiyin looked at Hailing's fingers. Although the guitar and bass were somewhat different, she could still see that there was a decisive difference in their techniques.

"I haven't introduced myself yet."

Hailing noticed Aine and Deng's gazes and spoke up, "My name is Hachiman Hailing, and I work part-time in about thirty bands."

"Eh?"

Not only Aine, but also Pochi who knew Hailing was stunned. Thirty... thirty bands?!
