Guitar Hero also wants to play Kasuga Shadow!

But… after joining AveMujica, I don't have to work part-time anymore. I hope this band can be like Xiangzi said, a community of shared destiny.

"Um...um, I'm Chihaya Aine, and she's Xiao Deng."

Aine was introducing herself and Deng. Pochi had made eye contact with her earlier, so it was obvious that they knew each other, although she wasn't sure when they met...

Following Aine's words, everyone else's eyes turned to Deng, but she just held the microphone with her head down and said nothing.

"Please give me more advice."

Although Deng did not respond, Hachiman Kailing still nodded.

Is this the lamp? This was the girl Li Xi was very interested in. Although he had known her for a long time and had watched her live performances from the audience, this was the first time he had ever met her face to face.

At the same time, I looked at Pochi, who had been silent, and I felt that she had a lot to say but couldn't say it. And...isn't the atmosphere a little too depressing now?

I've been around so many bands and seen worse situations before, but I didn't realize Li Xiboqi and his band had reached this point. Last week, Li Xi had even contacted me about the absent bassist...

Thinking back to the live performance, it was the student from Tsukinomori named Nagasaki Suyo, but I don’t know her very well.

"Then let's get started."

Li Xi's words interrupted Hai Ling's thoughts and broke the dull atmosphere in the rehearsal room.

"Eh? This... is so fast?"

Aine exclaimed, "No one seems to be getting into the mood yet, is it really okay to start like this?"

Without giving himself time to think, Lixi's drumsticks had already fallen, and he hurriedly grabbed the guitar to keep up with the rhythm of Lixi and Hailing. But when he turned around, he found that Boqi was standing there motionless, and Deng was holding the microphone beside him without saying a word.

……

Is this really good?

Leaving the world behind, moving forward...

Is it really good?

……

Without the lead singer and lead guitar, no matter how hard Aiyin tried to follow the rhythm of Li Xi and the others, this was not a rehearsal at all.

After a misplaced beat, Aine looked at Deng and Pochi who were motionless, and stopped playing with some worry. Seeing this, Riki also waved the drumstick, signaling Hailing to pause.

Shiina Riki glanced at Deng and Pochi and simply rapped his drumsticks, "Keep going."

"Eh?"

Still...are you going to continue? Aiyin looked at Lixi in surprise. There was something wrong with Lixi today. Xiaodeng hadn't said anything, so why did they continue like this? Wasn't Lixi the one who cared about Xiaodeng the most?

"Tsk..."

Li Xi forced himself to tap the drumsticks, ready to start the second practice. As the drumsticks fell, Li Xi's mood became more and more irritable.

As long as the rehearsal can continue, it will prove that the band doesn't need that guy Su Shi anymore...

We can still form the band without her...

Can……

Hachiman Hailing looked at Lixi, stopped what she was doing, took off her bass, and walked to her bass case.

"Hailing."

Not quite understanding what she wanted to do, Li Xi asked.

"It seems that the previous one was a little unforgettable."

"Wait!"

Li Xi became even angrier when he saw Hai Ling packing up Beth and preparing to leave. "Are you just going to leave like this?"

After hearing Li Xi's words, Hai Ling, who was already in a bad mood today, stopped what she was doing, stood up and looked at Li Xi.

"What's wrong."

Li Xi crossed his arms and looked at Hai Ling with some dissatisfaction. He had asked Hai Ling to come so that everyone could continue the rehearsal without Su Shi, but now she was packing up and preparing to go back before it even started?

Ignoring Li Xi's words, Hai Ling walked to Bo Qi with an expressionless face, "Let's go out and talk."

Then he walked out the door.

"Eh? Oh..."

Pochi took down his guitar and followed Shanghai Ling's footsteps.

"Clam?"

As Pochi went out and the door closed, Li Xi finally reacted, "What is this guy doing?"

"Hai... Are Hailing-san and Pochi familiar with each other?"

After Hailing left, the sense of pressure from the stranger was gone, and Aine asked.

"That guy must have performed a street live with Pochi. I don't know how we met."

"Just...that's it?"

Hearing Riki's words, Aine also remembered what Pochi had said about a bassist who came on stage during their first live performance. It turned out to be Hailing. But...it's been so long, why does it feel like their relationship is better than I thought?

"Tsk... I don't know the details. Yesterday, too, they went to the Ring as if they had made an appointment. Who knew they were so close?"

"Ring? Pochi?"

Deng also spoke with some doubt. In her opinion, Pochi would rarely go out on weekends.

"Yeah, there are a few others too. I always feel like they are hiding something from me."

"Anyone else?"

Aine was also a little surprised. Pochi probably didn't like being in a crowded environment unless he knew the people. "Who are they?"

"Uh……"

Speaking of this, Li Xi looked at Aine and thought of Sumimi. This girl is their fan. If I tell her that Chuhua is my classmate... I always feel it will be very troublesome.

And Deng, let’s not tell him about Xiangzi. “Well, there are only a few people involved anyway…”

"Is it... Xiangzi?"

"Eh?!"

Li Xi looked at Deng in surprise. He didn't expect that he would be seen through immediately. "Deng...how did you know that?"

"It's just... a feeling."

Deng was really perceptive. When it came to matters related to Toyokawa Shoko, Li Xi turned his head away with some disappointment.

Deng watched Li Xi turn his head and lowered his head as well, "Then... why?"

"Why is it..."

Aine asked.

"Why, you're looking for Hailing."

"Without the bass, the band can't go on."

"Where's Sushi?"

"That guy isn't coming back."

Li Xi felt a little uncomfortable and said something he didn't want to tell them.

"But... we clearly agreed..."

Deng lowered his head even lower, remembering the previous agreement of a community of shared destiny.

"That agreement... was all a lie to you."

Li Xi closed her eyes, not daring to look at Deng's expression, knowing that this would cause great harm to her.

"What's the lie?"

Aine was also stunned, not quite believing that Suyo-san would be such a person, "Did Suyo say that? Does Pochi know?"

"yes……"

"Did she say...she wanted to quit the band?"

"I didn't say that."

"What's that? Did Li Xi bring anyone here without permission? That's a little inappropriate, isn't it?"

"That girl never thought about forming a new band. She did all this just to revive Crychic."

"Eh?"

Li Xi felt a little reluctant, but still gritted his teeth and told them the truth, "She said in front of Pochi that you and Pochi are both unnecessary..."

"Pochi?!"

Hearing this result, Aiyin couldn't believe it at first, then recalled everything Su Shi had done, "So... that's how it is..."

Then he immediately turned to look at the door of the rehearsal room, "Pochi... you know everything?..."

"Yeah...she said that in front of Pochi."

"Su Shi..."

Hearing this result, Aine clenched her fists, "Unforgivable..."

Chapter 125 Because, Hailing is Hailing.

"any drinks?"

Hailing, who was the first to come out of the rehearsal room, stood in front of the vending machine and asked Pochi without turning around.

"But... Coke, please."

Pochi stopped two body lengths away from Hailing, not knowing what to say.

"Give."

He bought two cans of Coke, handed one to Pochi, and gestured for her to sit on the sofa nearby.

"Thank you...thank you."

I followed Hailing and sat opposite her. Although I had seen her several times, this was the first time I was so close to her.

He raised his head and glanced at Hailing secretly, then immediately looked away. Hailing in this outfit was still quite oppressive to him.

“How sweet.”

Hailing opened her Coke and took a sip, then looked out the window at the street and said something nonchalantly, "It's too sweet, so I prefer chocolate custard."

Eh?

what?

What milk jelly? Not quite understanding what Hailing was talking about, Pochi didn't know how to react.

But after looking at the Coke in his hand, he thought it would be impolite to just hold it in his hand without drinking it, so he opened the pull ring and took a small sip.

"So, Pochi-san really likes such sweet flavors?"

Hachiman Hailing shifted her gaze back and looked into Pochi's eyes, "Whether it's mango juice or cola."

"Eh? I..."

Hailing's expressionless and dull eyes frightened Pochi so much that he subconsciously lowered his head, not looking into her eyes, and didn't know how to answer.

"Actually, I envy Pochi-san."

Seeing that Pochi was a little scared of her, Hailing looked out the window again at the streets dyed red by the sunset, and said to herself, "It was so easy to get what I always wanted."

Eh? Did I...did I take anything from Hailing? How come I didn't know?

"So I chose to join AveMujica to see what's so different about Pochi-san, but from what I can see right now, Pochi-san isn't anything special."

Hailing took another sip of her Coke and continued, "I've seen people worrying about band matters and feeling sad when band members leave. I've seen all of this before, and it makes me envious."

Still confused about what Hailing was trying to say, Pochi spoke weakly, "Ha…Hailing?"

"So, if I quit AveMujica in the future, what will happen to Pochi-san?"
