Classic soul swap, but a musical

"Pochi-chan, do you have time next? Um...we agreed that you could teach me guitar when you have time."

"Well, I guess you're free before noon." Aragaki Ai calculated the time.

"Then... do you want to go back to Starry with me?" Hong Xia invited.

"Is it really possible?"

Kita jumped to her side like a rabbit, holding Archangel Shimokitazawa's hand with a happy smile on his face.

"Sure." Hong Xia replied.

The four of them boarded the tram, and Aragaki Ai noticed that Xiangzi must have discovered it.

Trouble, he doesn't want Xiao Mutou to know about Xiao Gudu's existence, nor does he want Pochi to know his identity. He treats him as a ghost, helps Xiao Gudu make friends, form a band, and gain favor, and then he can disappear.

If my real identity is revealed and Xiao Gudu finds out, it will be difficult to deal with.

If I had known that I would be exposed so soon, I would have confessed to Xiangzi at that time.

Ai Aragaki looked at Xiangzi. The girl looked at him without saying anything.

However, after a while.

Xiangzi said to the three people, "I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. You guys go ahead."

"Hey? Xiangzi isn't coming with you?" Hongxia was a little surprised, but didn't try to persuade him and just said with a smile.

"See you tonight."

"See you tonight."

Watching the blue-haired girl get off the tram, before getting off, she put on a smile, glanced at "Little Lonely", and said nothing.

Ai Aragaki didn't know why she didn't directly expose his identity, but since she didn't say it directly, she might as well go find Xiangzi and talk to her about it.

For the next period of time, he did some exercises with Kita, watched Hongxia and Kita playing together, and then ended the game.

Returning to her body, Aragaki Ai opened her cell phone. It was almost twelve o'clock and there were several messages, including one from Xiangzi.

"fraud."

"Where are you?" Aragaki Ai asked her directly, wanting to meet Xiangzi and explain the matter clearly.

He calculated the time and found that the agreed time for peace was very broad and it would be resolved within an hour if possible.

After the message became read, the latest reply popped up immediately - "I'm downstairs at the office, coming up to see you now."

It's about to be exposed.

Ai Aragaki was very calm, after all, it was not a big deal, just a little troublesome.

He replied to Xiangzi, "I'll go down."

"it is good."

After saying this, she stopped replying to messages. Aragaki Ai took two bottles of water and took the elevator to the first floor.

The blue-haired girl is quite elegant and easily attracts attention, making her easy to find in the hall.

"This way." Aragaki Ai waved.

The eyes of the people around followed the girl, watching her walk towards the boy with a rather elegant and quick pace, and disappear into the hall with him.

He took Xiangzi to a place where there were usually no people so that no one would disturb their conversation.

There is a window at the end of the corridor. When it is opened, a big tree blocks the view outside.

Neither of them spoke first. Aragaki Ai unscrewed the bottle cap and handed the water to her.

"Thank you."

"It's okay." He unscrewed his own bottle, drank it in one gulp, and then looked at Xiangzi.

The girl first fixed her eyes on him, then looked away, and when her eyes returned to him, she spoke.

"fraud."

"Well, anything you say now is just sophistry." Aragaki Ai spread his hands, "Let's talk, Saki."

"Does Mu know?" she asked.

"Even if I knew, there's no way to hide it." He did talk to Xiao Gudu about her, but he didn't tell her his identity.

Volume 1: Chapter 136 Amusement Park

"Hmph." Xiangzi made a slight sound and reluctantly agreed with what Aragaki Ai said.

She had already received accurate information from Mu, and as time went by, if it was Pochi today, it should be Mu tomorrow.

"You don't want me to tell Mu?"

"...It's natural. Mu doesn't seem to care much, but you know, she likes to keep things to herself."

Rubbing the vertical lines on the bottle cap with her fingers, Aragaki Ai leaned against the windowsill, forced a smile, and asked softly.

"You're not going to use this as a threat to put a collar on me, make me kneel on the ground, and act like your dog, are you?"

"Hmm?" Xiangzi was stunned for a moment. She had never thought about it this way, but it sounded pretty good.

She tilted her head. "I didn't say that..."

Ai Aragaki looked at the girl, her eyes kept moving downwards, as if she felt a little guilty, and then she turned her wandering gaze back to his cheek.

Finally, she made up her mind.

Xiangzi's voice was very nice, and he spoke to him.

"I don't know anything. Pochi is Pochi, and love is love. How about that?"

"...What conditions do you want?"

Aragaki Ai put the bottle aside and looked into her amber eyes.

She looked away again, feeling as if she was guilty, and her voice became unusually soft.

"I want to be like them, is that okay?"

"......"

He was stunned for a second. He didn't expect that Xiangzi's request would be like this.

Under normal circumstances, it is indeed impossible.

However, he had one designated opportunity.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Xiangzi knew that what he was asking was actually an excessive request.

Her eyes turned slightly downwards, and she turned her head away, her tone tinged with disappointment.

"Isn't it true?"

"..."

Ai Aragaki thought about it and decided to agree to Xiangzi. There are only two aspects in which the space can improve him.

The first is the skills brought by the game. Aragaki Ai is not lacking in any skills for the time being, and she is eager to improve her piano level, but she can't find a better candidate for the time being.

Unless he is willing to join the ranks of veteran pianists in their forties or fifties, he will have a chance of obtaining piano skills above level eight.

The second is to increase the favorability and open up permissions to randomly choose other targets. You also need to cultivate favorability little by little. Xiangzi should have at least 40 points of favorability.

As long as the points are above 40, Aragaki Ai can upgrade her authority to level five, increase the game time to two hours, and have two game opportunities every day.

Then you can go find Mu every day and leave the rest of the game opportunities to others.

He thought a lot, and in reality, only a moment passed, which felt very short. However, in Xiangzi's eyes, this period of time was very difficult to endure.

She had almost given up.

Until, Aragaki Ai spoke again, with a light tone and a smile in her eyes.

"There's only one chance a day, and I've already used it today. Can you wait a moment?

Tomorrow, tomorrow will be enough."

".......Liar, did you do this on purpose?" Xiangzi froze for a second, thinking about his words, and after he reacted, he stared at him.

"No, really not." He smiled.

Tears welled up in the corners of the girl's eyes. She took a deep breath and slowly calmed down.

She sniffled, hiding her emotions.

Aragaki Ai took a step forward and patted her head. "Okay, I have a match tomorrow morning. The sooner I can get there, the better it will be. Around ten o'clock?"

"Then I'll go watch your game." Xiangzi walked out with him.

"That's fine, but the piece is still farewell." Aragaki Ai said to her, "There is another competition next week, and the piece is Chopin's Piano Sonata No. 2 in B-flat minor."

"Hmm? The third movement of No. 35 is a funeral march, right?" Xiangzi asked.

"Yeah." He nodded.

“How did you choose this one?”

"There's no special reason why I want to play this song."

"........"

The figure became smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared in the hall.

When going to Starry to work in the evening, Hong Xia looked at the blue-haired girl in front of her and felt that she seemed different from before.

"Xiangzi, did anything good happen?"

"That's it."

Listening to her answer, Hong Xia felt as if it was the first time that she saw an obvious smile on her face.

She laughed too, thinking it was wonderful.

Back to one o'clock in the afternoon, in the office cafeteria, Aragaki Ai ate something casually to fill her stomach.

On the way back, he felt his cell phone vibrate. He looked down and found it was a message from Xiao Mutou.

"like....."

"I'm at the office. Is everything okay on your end?" he replied to Mu.

"Yes, in the parking lot." Mu replied immediately.

"I'll go down right away."

He took the elevator to the parking lot, and as soon as the elevator door opened, he saw the girl.

The white lights illuminated the parking lot, and there was no other smell in the air. Mu was standing not far from the elevator, with a slight smile on his lips.

Maybe she was really looking forward to going to the amusement park, or maybe she just wanted to see him sooner.

She could have waited for him in the car, but Mu ran down and waited for him at the elevator.

"Love." She ran, and the heels of her small leather boots hit the ground, making a crisp sound that echoed in the empty underground parking lot.

"Don't run."

He opened his arms and picked Mu up. "Don't be so anxious. From now until ten o'clock in the evening, there is time."

"Yeah." She held hands with Aragaki Ai.

The car was parked in a fixed position. Aragaki Ai opened the door for her and waited for Mu to get in before he got in from the other side.

The driver glanced at the boy through the rearview mirror and didn't dare say anything. He just took a breath, exhaled slowly, and told himself to stay calm.

Because the driver was there, Mu just held his hand and did not take any further action.

"I've bought the tickets." Mu took out two tickets from his small bag and handed them to Aragaki Ai, looking at him with anticipation in his eyes.

"well done."

After receiving the compliment, her mood became noticeably better. She moved a little towards Aragaki Ai, sat next to him, and could lean on his shoulder.
