You are the first one to get into Triangle, then who am I?

"Little Lenai, wait a moment, I have something else to say."

She pushed Lenai back into the chair and took out four tickets from her bass bag, placing them neatly on the table. "There's a performance hosted by RAISE A SUILEN this weekend. Let's go and see it together."

"Sui...Len?"

"[RAISE A SUILEN]!?"

Hearing the band's name, Sanjiao Chuxia suddenly stood up from her chair, and the chair legs made a harsh sound on the floor.

Hachiman Kailing nodded: "Yes, it's the band where you temporarily replaced the guitarist last time in early summer."

Originally, when Sanjiao Chuxia told her about it, she hadn't paid much attention to this band, but several band members she met recently were talking about [RAISE A SUILEN], so she searched for the premiere video.

“I’ve seen the video of RAS’s performance. Although they’re a newly formed band, they’re incredibly talented and their control over the stage is very professional. So I wanted to take everyone to see it and experience the performance process of a professional band hosting a live show.”

“[RAS]’s performance was truly amazing.”

He picked up a ticket and the address written on it was still [dub].

"But during the encore, your performance at the beginning was a bit disastrous."

"I only looked at the sheet music for a few minutes before I went on stage. How could I possibly adapt to an unfamiliar piece of music so quickly?" He retorted. "Why, seeing someone else's bassist singing lead, are you trying to usurp the throne?"

Ignoring Sankaku Hatsuka's teasing, Hachiman Kailing handed the remaining two tickets to him and Wakaba Mutsu respectively.

"It's Friday afternoon. Wakaba-san, Ryuna-chan, do you have anything else to do that day?"

"No." Yao Le Nai, who was still pressed on the chair by her, said, and Wakaba Mutsu beside her also shook his head.

"That's good, don't be late..."

"Wait, why did you give me two tickets?"

She pushed Lenai in front of Sanjiao Chuxia and said, "That photo is for little Lenai. Remember to bring her with you that day. I'm afraid she'll run off somewhere else."

"I see--"

He drew out the word and made an "OK" gesture.

………………

On Saturday afternoon, the dub Live House venue was already crowded with people. Mikado Hatsuka, holding hands with Kaname Lenai, struggled through the crowd.

"So many people..." Kaname was obviously running out of energy.

"It must be that after the video of the first performance went viral, it attracted a lot of fans."

He protected Le Nai and avoided the crowded crowd until he reached a more spacious place. Suddenly, he saw several familiar figures in front of him.

"Ah! It's Xiao Xia and Xiao Renai!" Toyama Kasumi waved at him, and her pair of "cat ears" were particularly conspicuous.

Standing next to her were Ichigaya Yusaki, Ushigome Satomi, Yamabuki Sayaka, and two other people in the triangle that Hatsuka felt looked familiar.

(Everyone at Poppin'Party is out...)

"Good afternoon, Kasumi-senpai, Saaya-san, and Ushigome-san."

Yamabuki Saaya smiled gently and said, "Good afternoon, Hatsuka-kun is here to watch the RAS performance too."

"Well, since [personaction] will be participating in your sponsored live later, we're looking for reference from other professional bands."

Although Sanka Hatsuka's original intention was just to familiarize herself with the normal live performance process of a band, Toyama Kasumi seemed to have misunderstood.

"Oh~ Xiaoxia, are you saying that [Popipa] is as professional a band as [RAS]? We're not that great, hehehe..."

"Idiot, Sankaku-san obviously didn't mean that!" Ichigaya Yusaki held his forehead helplessly and interrupted her monologue.

"Well, because [personaction] is participating in a live performance as a guest band for the first time, we want to gain some experience."

He nodded, and then added: "But [Popipa] is also a great band in my heart."

"Xiao Xia, thank you~"

Toyama Kasumi was so touched that she was about to hug him. Just as Sanka Hatsuka was about to dodge, she was grabbed by Ichigaya Yusaki's collar.

"Kasumi, don't cause trouble for others!" She pulled Toyama Kasumi back with a red face.

"Funny girl."

Just when Sanka Hatsuka wanted to ask who the two people wearing the Hanaoka and Hanasakigawa school uniforms were, he noticed two familiar figures squeezed in among the crowd.

Hachiman Kailing and Wakaba Mutsu were walking towards here.

"Hatsuxia, Xiao Lenai, so you are here."

Hachiman Kailing was panting slightly, clearly struggling to navigate the crowd. Wakaba Mutsu stood quietly beside her, nodding slightly.

"Because there were a lot of people, we found a more spacious place." Sanjiao Hatsuxia gestured to them, "and happened to meet everyone from [Popipa]."

Hachiman Kailing's gaze swept across everyone, finally stopping on the other two people beside Toyama Kasumi.

“Who are these two…?”

"Ah, I almost forgot to introduce them!" Toyama Kasumi clapped her hands and said excitedly, "This is [Pastel*Palettes] Wakamiya Eve-senpai and Yamato Maya-senpai, and they're also our good friends!"

The white-haired girl in the Hanasakigawa school uniform smiled and waved: "I am Wakamiya Eve, please give me your guidance."

Yamato Maya, wearing the Haneda school uniform, seemed a little shy: "I'm Yamato Maya... nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you. We are [personaction], and my name is Hachiman Kailing."

"Nice to meet you. I'm Sanka Hatsuka and this is Kaname Lenai." He nodded politely in response.

However, Ruoye Mu, who had been silent, seemed to suddenly become excited. She took two steps towards the two of them and then stretched out her hands.

"Eve-chan, Maya-chan, I'm Wakaba Mutsu."

………………

P.S.: Lao Bang is really hard to write, there are too many people (and I am a little bit confused about Eve's Bushido level)

ps2: After the live show, you can go to [RAS] to play with chuchu (the little one is so cute~)

Chapter 168 The True Strength of RAS

"Eve-chan, Maya-chan, I'm Wakaba Mutsu."

"Nice to meet you, Wakaba-san." Imiya Wakafu shook her hand, "Bushido!"

"Bushido!" Wakaba Mutsu echoed.

When Sanjiao Hatsuxia heard this Pokémon-like catchphrase, she suddenly remembered why she felt these two people looked familiar.

When they played guitar together before, Ruoye Mu often played videos of [Pastel*Palettes] for him to play along, but he wasn't very interested in idol bands, so he didn't remember the names or members.

But I can play most of the songs.

"Chuxia, why is Ruoye-san suddenly so excited?"

Although she didn't become as cheerful as Toyama Kasumi, it was the first time that Hachiman Kailing saw the always silent Wakaba Mutsushi's eyes shining like this.

To this, Sanjiao Chuxia simply replied: "Little Cucumber is a fan of [Pastel*Palettes]."

Not surprising then.

At this moment, Wakaba Mutsu suddenly turned to Yamato Maya, stretched out his hand expressionlessly, his eyes still shining.

"Maya-chan's drums...are really cool."

"Ah, thanks."

Yamabuki Sayaka looked at the crowd that was still growing and couldn't help but sigh, "There are so many fans..."

"After all, there are those two members." Speaking of this, Maya Yamato suddenly became excited, "Bassist and vocalist Rui Yi-san and drummer Masuki-san. Although they are both a year younger than me..."

"It's the same size as us."

Kasumi Toyama and everyone in Poppin'Party are still in their second year of high school.

"Anyway, they're all really good, even though they've only been support players in the band."

"You're so outstanding?" asked Yamabuki Saya.

"No matter how much others invite her, Rui Yi-san is always immersed in her work, so it is quite surprising that she would join [RAS]."

"Isn't that just like you, Hailing? You're so talented, but you're always just a 'mercenary'. In the end, you still end up joining a band."

"Well... my words are still a little different." Hachiman Kailing answered after thinking seriously.

Yamato Maya, who was in an excited state, did not notice the conversation between Sankaku Hatsuka and Hachiman Kailing, and continued speaking at her own pace.

"Yukimu-san is a rabid dog, and his improvisations are particularly rich."

"impromptu?"

"She would play a lot of drums spontaneously. Whenever she had the chance, she would play a lot of drums with great force. The other members couldn't keep up, and the whole performance turned into a jazz drum solo.

Even if I force myself to wear a collar, I can still lead the whole band around with it. I think that’s very attractive…”

Yamato Maya was halfway through her speech when a deafening cheer suddenly erupted from the backstage, followed by an intense drum beat prelude.

The performance of [RAS] is about to officially begin.

"Go out!" This is Wakamiya Eve.

………………

As we entered the venue, fans in the audience were holding up green cheering sticks, and the screen on the stage was flashing the code names introducing each member.

That’s right, the members of [RAS] did not use their real names, but code names that were similar in pronunciation.

Mikado Hatsuka didn't know the other people's real names, but when it came time to introduce guitarist Hanazono Tae...

(Hanazono…isn’t this just the pronunciation of Dahui-senpai’s “garden” written in romanization…?)

The performance officially begins.

As the lights came on, the drums and guitars started playing.

Drummer Masking's sticks fell like lightning, and a series of intense snare drum hits instantly ignited the audience. Guitarist Hanazono was not to be outdone, following the rhythm closely, even appearing to be at ease.

The bass singer Layer's bass roars out, and the precise and impactful bass lines push the whole song like an invisible wave, and his voice is full of power when he sings.

Keyboardist Pareo's playing is gorgeous and dramatic, interspersed throughout this uplifting piece.

The music surged across everyone's senses like a torrent, and the turquoise fluorescent sea below danced wildly to the rhythm. Sanjiao Chuxia watched the dazzling performance on stage, her heartbeat unconsciously synced with the fierce drumbeats.

Is this the true strength of RAS?

When he was acting as a temporary guitarist, it was very difficult for him to just follow the rhythm and play. He had no intention of paying attention to the true level of others. In addition, he really dragged the whole team down that time, resulting in Triangle Chuxia not feeling much.

And now, as an audience member enjoying the music of [RAS] at its peak, he truly felt and realized the terrifying nature of this band——

Every note is full of explosive power, and every member's performance is breathtakingly precise, yet with a unique madness and vitality.

Kaname Rakuna had stood up straight without her knowing. Her cat-like heterochromatic eyes were fixed on the stage. Her fingers were unconsciously moving in the air, and an excited smile appeared on her face.

Hachiman Kailing's attention was completely drawn to Layer: "This slap technique... is like playing a musical instrument..."

Ruoye Mu remained silent, but her slightly leaning forward body and shining eyes revealed her concentration.

As the last note fell, the whole audience erupted in deafening cheers.

Under the spotlight, Layer panted slightly, sweat dripping down her cheeks. She held her bass guitar with one hand and used the other to push her sweat-soaked bangs away from her forehead.

"Thank you. Also..."

She gestured with her other hand, shifting the spotlight and the audience's attention to Hanazono Tae-hye standing nearby.

Hanazono Tae spoke into the microphone, "I'm Hanazono. As previously informed, I will be ending my guitar support duties today."

As soon as these words were spoken, all kinds of cheers broke out from the audience.

"Thank you!" "Hanazono, thank you!" "Don't leave!"

Despite so many requests to stay, she ultimately belonged to Poppin' Party and it was impossible for her to stay in RAS.

"Although the time was short, I will never forget the opportunity to perform for you all and receive your enthusiastic support. Thank you all!"
