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

Sanjiao Chuxia caught the mask and after thinking for a moment decided to put it on.

Firstly, it distinguishes him from the members of [RAS], so that when problems arise during the encore, the blame can be perfectly shifted to him without implicating other members; secondly, after taking the blame, the audience will not be able to recognize him as the "Triangle Hatsuka".

"Let's go, the audience must be getting impatient."

"Ah."

He followed CHU2 onto the stage, and the audience's enthusiastic cheers came like a tide, making him a little nervous.

Due to time constraints, Triangle Early Summer did not even play a complete piece of music. She just went through it roughly and became familiar with some of the more complicated parts.

(Is it too late for them to play the accompaniment and then I can pretend to play it?)

There was no extra time for his thoughts to wander. The prelude of "RIOT" sounded, and he looked at the music in front of him while trying to keep up with the rhythm.

Sanjiao Chuxia's fingers moved stiffly on the strings, barely keeping up with Layer's stormy bass.

Although there were no technical errors, compared with the smooth performance of Hanazono Tae, his performance can only be described as "barely passing".

The audience in the audience also noticed that the performance in this encore was obviously worse than before, and several of the more professional ones had gradually started whispering to each other.

Fortunately, this situation did not last too long. After all, she is an idol who has been through many battles. After she became familiar with the song halfway through the performance, Triangle Chuxia gradually regained her form.

His playing became smoother, his body began to sway with the music, and he gradually integrated into the RAS group.

Sweat trickled down his cheeks, but his eyes grew more focused.

"Hmph, not bad." CHU2 glanced at him in front of the DJ booth and muttered softly.

When the last note fell, the audience erupted in applause. Sanjiao Chuxia breathed a sigh of relief, only then realizing that her back was completely soaked.

“Nice performance.”

Masking, who also had dazzling blonde hair, gave a brief compliment and then left the stage.

Layer walked up to Sanjiao Chuxia and gave her a gentle smile: "Thank you for allowing Xiaohua to return to [Poppin' Party] in time."

Her voice was very soft, and she was breathing slightly, but it made Sanjiao Chuxia slightly startled.

"Is Layer familiar with Dahui-senpai?"

"I guess so. Xiaohua and I have known each other since we were little. We even agreed to form a band together..."

The two chatted as they returned to the backstage, and Sanjiao Chuxia also learned about their relationship from Layer.

Since he is not an "enemy", then his previous behavior was indeed a bit impolite.

"I'm so sorry, Layer, I just barged in and caused trouble..."

"Nothing," she shook her head. "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have known Xiaohua had a performance at Poppin' Party today."

"Daihui-senpai probably thought he could catch up and didn't want to worry you, so he didn't tell you."

"Well, but with Xiaohua's personality, if you hadn't come just now, she would probably have hesitated and continued to play the encore."

"If that happens, I probably won't be able to make it to the Poppin'Party performance at the cultural festival..."

(If I remember correctly, everyone at Poppin'Party was looking forward to this performance.)

Last year's cultural festival was the time when they had their first performance, and now it is exactly the first anniversary of "Poppin'Party".

………………

Looking at Aya Maruyama who was chatting awkwardly and wasting time on the stage, Kasumi Toyama's expression became more and more solemn.

"Even if there are only four of us, we still have to go on stage..."

Ushigome Satomi, holding her bass, was about to walk out of the backstage when she was stopped by Ichigaya Yusaki.

"That's reckless."

"but!"

Asahi Rikka's fingers were tightly clenched on the hem of her skirt, and her eyes behind the lenses kept moving back and forth between the embarrassed Maruyama Aya on the stage and the anxious Toyama Kasumi backstage.

The whispers in the audience grew louder and louder, like countless tiny needles piercing her heart.

(Dahui-senpai hasn't arrived yet...Aya-senpai can't handle it alone...)

At this moment, she suddenly remembered the back of Sanjiao Chuxia who resolutely left, the boy who was one year younger than her but was able to stand up bravely.

(Chu Xia-kun is still working hard, I can’t just sit there and wait for death!)

Thinking of this, Asahi Rikka took a deep breath and put her guitar on her back.

"I'm going!"

Without waiting for anyone else to respond, she rushed onto the stage where Maruyama Aya was alone, in front of everyone's surprised eyes.

Maruyama Aya on the stage was racking her brains to think of the next topic when she suddenly noticed a blue-haired girl wearing glasses walking up to her with a guitar on her back.

She immediately understood Asahi Rikka's plan, so she stopped the awkward conversation and put the topic in front of the other party.

"Thank you." Asahi Rikka bowed to her.

Then, she mustered up her courage, stood in front of the microphone and spoke to the audience.

"I'm Rika Asahi from Hanaoka High School. I'll play an impromptu guitar song for everyone!"

Asahi Rikka took a deep breath, took off her glasses, and turned the guitar in front of her.

When she raised her head again, her whole demeanor changed instantly——

The originally timid eyes became sharp and focused, and the slender fingers gently plucked the strings. The crisp notes immediately quieted the noisy audience.

Her fingertips danced across the strings, and a virtuosic solo instantly ignited the audience. Asahi Rikka's body swayed to the rhythm, her blue hair gleaming brightly under the stage lights.

Every note was precise and powerful, and it didn't look like a last-minute performance at all.

The audience in the audience gradually changed from whispering to exclaiming, and some even took out their mobile phones to record the scene.

Toyama Kasumi in the backstage widened her eyes: "Liuliu... is he so powerful?!"

Ushigome Satomi excitedly gripped her bass: "So cool..."

"He's completely different from usual." Yamabuki Saya couldn't help but sigh.

Just then, there was a commotion backstage.

I saw Hanazono Tae-hye rushing in breathlessly, still wearing her RAS performance costume.

"Sorry! I'm coming!"

Toyama Kasumi immediately rushed over and hugged her: "Meihui! That's great!"

"If you're happy, we can talk about it after this is over," said Ichigaya Yusaki, who played the villain. "Meihui, go change into your costume right now. Don't waste the time Liuliu bought us."

"Okay." She nodded.

Chapter 147 Thank you, Rikka...senpai

Asahi Rikka closed her eyes, completely immersed in the music. Sweat slid down her cheeks, but it did not affect her concentrated performance at all.

Before the last note fell, Asahi Rikka suddenly jumped up from her original position, and ended with a big sweep as she landed, and the audience burst into thunderous applause.

The lingering sound of the last note was still vibrating in the air. Asahi Rikka opened her eyes as if waking from a dream, breathing slightly.

The waves of "encore" from the audience made her face flush instantly. The sharp eyes she had when she was performing just now disappeared without a trace, replaced by the familiar panic and shyness.

Asahi Rikka stood there at a loss, almost fainting because of the intense reaction of the students below the stage, when suddenly a short and rapid drumbeat came from behind her, attracting her attention.

Looking back, Poppin'Party's drummer Yamabuki Sayaka was already sitting in front of the drums, and the other four members were also there, wearing uniform performance costumes.

"Rikka, that's enough time. Thank you very much for your help."

"No, no, no, no." Asahi Rikka shook her head flattered. "I'm happy to be able to help Poppin' Party."

After saying that, she quickly walked off the stage with her guitar in her arms and a red face.

She stumbled a little and nearly tripped over the wires, but was caught in time by a staff member in the audience. Good-natured laughter and encouraging applause rang out from the audience.

"Thank you, thank you..." Asahi Rikka whispered thanks to the staff, lowered her head and ran quickly to the backstage.

Just as she was about to disappear behind the curtain, the stage lights suddenly came on. Toyama Kasumi's energetic voice echoed through the microphone, filling the entire audience:

"Sorry to have kept you waiting! We are——"

"【Poppin'Party】!" The five people spoke in unison.

Standing in front of the microphone, Toyama Kasumi said honestly: "Actually, there was a little incident before we went on stage. I think everyone can see it."

"Is this the kind of thing you talk about here?"

It’s still Ichigaya Yusaki who plays the role of complaining.

"Kasumi, there's something more important to talk about than this..." Ushigome Satomi's timid voice came from the side.

"Ah, that's true."

Toyama Kasumi nodded, then gave a shining smile to the students in the audience.

"Poppin' Party was first performed at Hanasakigawa Academy's cultural festival last year. So, today is the first anniversary of Poppin' Party!"

"So today—" she held up her guitar high, "we're going to give you our best performance yet!"

The prelude of the music suddenly sounded, and the cheerful melody instantly ignited the whole audience.

Asahi Rikka stood in the shadows backstage, looking at the five people shining on the stage, and unconsciously swayed to the rhythm.

………………

By the time Sanka Hatsuka hurried back to Hanegaoka College, the campus had already grown quiet. The cultural festival performances had long since ended, leaving only a few scattered students cleaning up the venue.

He stood at the door of the empty auditorium, looked at the stage lights that had been turned off, and sighed softly.

At this moment, Sanjiao Chuxia's cell phone vibrated.

Umiri: Chuxia, is your place finished?

UIKA: Well, I just returned to the auditorium in Hanaoka.

UIKA: What about you and Lenai?

Umiri: We waited for a long time after watching the performance of [Poppin'Party], but you didn't show up yet, so I sent little Lenai home first.

Umiri: [Picture]*20

Umiri: These are photos from the scene.

Most of the photos were of various bands performing, and a few were close-ups of a blue-haired girl on the stage.

(Is this... Rikka-san?)

He could hardly believe his eyes. The weak-looking girl who had played with him in the afternoon was so dazzling when she took off her glasses and played on the stage.

Umiri: There should be a small bonfire party in Yugaoka. If you are interested, you can go and check it out.

UIKA: No thanks. I'm almost going back.

After sending the message, Sanjiao Chuxia was about to leave when he suddenly heard hurried footsteps behind him.

"Hatsuka-san!"

Asahi Rikka came running over, breathless, holding something in her hand. She had put her glasses back on, but her cheeks were still a little dizzy.

"Here...here you are." She handed over a USB drive. "I asked the staff to record the entire performance...I thought you might want to see it..."

Sanjiao Chuxia was stunned for a moment, then took the USB drive and a gentle smile appeared on her face.

"Thank you, Rikka...senpai."

Hearing the title "senior", Asahi Rikka's face turned red instantly and her fingers unconsciously twisted together.

"No, you don't have to call me senior..."

Her voice was so soft that it almost disappeared in the night wind.
