Classic soul swap, but a musical

She had already guessed what he would say. This liar always used sweet words to deceive her.

"......." Aragaki Ai smiled helplessly, "Okay, then let's go back?"

"Yeah." Xiangzi and he returned to the station. With him, the night and the stars became quiet, and the shadows were stretched under the light of the street lamps.

After they got on the bus, a few people got off the tram on the opposite side. A girl with long flaxen hair was walking with her friends, and there was always a hint of unremitting sadness between her eyebrows.

Both sides got on and off the car, but neither saw the other. In the car, Xiangzi said nothing and looked out the window.

After returning to the rental house, Aragaki Ai went to buy some things again, and Xiangzi still wanted to refuse.

"You have to let me have dinner, right?"

"Oh."

The two returned home and after eating, Aragaki Ai started reading a book while Xiangzi was looking at his cell phone.

The air is very clean and there is no smell. Lying in this quilt, I feel at ease.

The emotions have gradually calmed down. Those troubles cannot be solved in a short time. Believe in him, do what you are best at, use the opportunity of the band to complete the turnaround.

As the night deepened, she still didn't sleep and asked him, "Is there a book suitable for me?"

"What do you want to read?" When it comes to this, he is not sleepy at all. It is really interesting to recommend your favorite books to others.

"I don't know." She turned off her phone and stared at the ceiling, lost in thought.

"Would you like to start with a simpler work?" Aragaki Ai got out of bed, took out a book from a row of works and handed it to her.

"Just think of it as passing the time."

After hearing what he said, Xiangzi also took the book and found out that it was The Tale of Genji, which she had read a little when she was a child but stopped reading later.

Ai Aragaki lay on the bed again, holding the outsider, just as she said to Xiangzi, just to pass the time.

Slowly, both of them fell asleep.

The next day, he went to school.

After Xiaoxiang, who was alone at home, confirmed that he would not come back, he took the tram to the mall he had been to yesterday and found a staff member.

“Salaries are settled on the same day, right?”

"Well, any other questions?" The staff looked at her Tsuki no Mori school uniform and didn't understand why a young lady like this would care about salary.

"I'm going to work now." Xiangzi paused. "Where can I change clothes?"

"This way."

With the help of the staff, she changed into a heavy doll costume and started distributing flyers.

Ai Aragaki at school was completely unaware of this and was still thinking about when to go find Xiao Gudu.

If you want to go see Mutou at five o'clock, you have to go there before one o'clock to make it in time.

So, before the end of lunch break, Aragaki Ai chose to start the game.

[Game loading]

In a flash, the scene before her eyes turned into another classroom. Aragaki Ai looked at the guitar backpack beside the table and blinked.

He actually brought his guitar to school.

Before he could observe further, Yili's voice trembled in his mind.

"Mr. Ghost...?"

"Ah."

Ai Aragaki picked up the pen, turned it around, glanced at the notebook in front of her, found a blank piece of paper, and after confirming that it was a usable notebook, she wrote on it.

"Can I skip class?"

“…Huh…”

Xiao Gudu has never skipped classes. As a marginal person like her, even if she didn't come to class, she wouldn't be discovered and the teacher would definitely forget about her.

"Mr. Ghost, what are you doing?"

"It's rare that you brought your guitar with you. Don't you want to play it at school?"

His fingers had already touched the zipper of the guitar backpack. Listening to his words, Little Lonely had begun to immerse himself in the scene of playing the piano at school, becoming popular, and being admired by classmates.

Volume 1: Chapter 72 Pop-up

Xiao Gudu's strange laughter kept replaying in her mind. Aragaki Ai thought about it and moved her eyes outside.

Well, forget it. I don’t need to study, but Xiao Gudu still needs to study.

There is not enough time today, so I'd better do something else after school. At least I should buy a metronome.

The girl, lost in fantasy, finally came back to normal, looked at him walking on the corridor, and asked.

"Hey, when did I get here?"

"Oh, let me find a music theory book. I'll study music theory while you listen to the class. How about that?"

"Oh?! Not going?"

You can hear the sense of loss in it. The corners of Aragaki Ai's mouth twitched. It seems that Xiao Gudu really wants to go to school to play guitar.

"Don't go."

"Oh..." The sound was drawn out.

I got through the afternoon classes easily, and after school, I packed the things I needed into my schoolbag as she said.

"Um...what are you going to do?"

"Go buy a metronome first. If you don't practice with a metronome, you'll probably lose track of the beat when you join a band. You must practice with a metronome in the future."

Aragaki Ai checked the nearby music stores and continued, "I'll also help you cut your hair. It's been a while since you've had it done, right?"

"ah???!"

Getting a haircut?! How could she possibly go to a place that looked so dazzling?

Ignoring the meaningless madness, Aragaki Ai walked towards the music store. When she arrived in front of the store, her mood became solemn.

"How...are you going to get in?"

"Hmm? How do you get in?"

He walked straight into the store, asked the clerk for a metronome, and under the clerk's guidance, paid the money and left.

After watching the whole movie, I felt like I would be trembling all over even if I didn’t have a body.

So strong!

There was no need to prepare mentally at the door of the store, no hesitation, I just spoke and paid.

Mr. Ghost, super strong.

If only I could do that too.

Little Lonely looked at the metronome in his hand, wondering where to go next, and suddenly remembered...

"Ah??!!! No, don't go, I don't want to get a haircut."

"Why?" Aragaki Ai touched her long pink hair, which was almost to her waist. It looked like it had not been carefully taken care of and was a little frizzy. If it was trimmed and cared for well, it might be very beautiful.

If you want to help her build some confidence and be less socially anxious, you have to start from the most superficial place and change her image.

After pausing for half a minute, Little Lonely gave her reason for not wanting to get a haircut.

"I can't even step into that kind of place. I'll die. I'll die in there."

"Do you want to go? If not, I'll go home and practice guitar." Aragaki Ai stopped and felt it was too heavy to carry the guitar on her back.

Xiao Gudu thought about the problem seriously. In fact, he had wanted to cut his hair for a long time, but he had never dared to go.

She had short hair in elementary school and hasn't dared to go to the barber shop to get her hair cut for more than two years. As a result, her hair has grown to her waist.

“…I want to go.”

"So, why don't I go for you?" Aragaki Ai smiled, "Don't worry, I will help you deal with it. If you can't do it, I will help you."

"what......."

Unable to say no, Xiao Gudu also felt that what he said made sense, so she just kept staring at him.

He found a barber shop with good reviews, simply walked in, and told the barber what he wanted.

"Just give me a little trim. No need to cut it short or do any messy hair changes. Just a little touch-up on the bangs will be fine."

Before this, everything was normal, until the hairdresser really took the scissors and pointed them at her bangs, and Little Loneliness couldn't stand it anymore.

“No, no, no, no…”

The next second, Aragaki Ai was popped out.

【game over】

[Game review: Poor]

[Reward: 10 points]

"what?"

The boy raised an eyebrow at the convenience store, put his hands on the counter, and let out a long sigh.

Are you so resistant?

He looked at his colleague next to him, and it turned out to be that JK, who was slacking off and watching videos again.

It's a little after four o'clock now, and there's still some time before the five o'clock meeting I agreed with Xiao Mutou.

Ai Aragaki's eyes fell on her mobile phone. He used it to slack off and avoid the risk of being caught by the store manager.

I scrolled through TikTok a few times and found that all it had were videos about beauty, idols, etc. It was a bit boring.

Until the next video, the girl with long light green hair appeared on the screen, playing Dream of Love.

JK paused for a second and deliberately tilted the phone towards him to show him the girl inside.

"Your favorite idol."

"Yeah." Aragaki Ai glanced at the time. There was still more than half an hour before she had to go meet Mu.

"Come to think of it, why do you like her? Just because she's pretty? Very pretty?" she asked.

"......"

Aragaki Ai paused for a moment. These things were indeed affecting him, but more importantly...

"Personality."

"...bitter, hahaha." She burst into laughter, clenched her fists, and pounded the cash register. "Personality? How is that possible? A young lady like this can't have a good personality. Whether it's a show or a stage, her personality is all acted out. Who gave her this silent, cold personality?"

He didn't object.

The other party felt bored and stopped talking. He continued to watch short videos and occasionally liked some nail art and hairdressing content.

Half an hour later, it was finally time to get off work. When Aragaki Ai was about to change clothes, the automatic door opened and a guest came in. He didn't intend to care because there was another person there, so he went off work.

"Hey?! Um, can you take a picture with me, please? I want to post it online, is that okay?"

The sound coming from behind me is a bit strange. Is there a celebrity coming in?

Ai Aragaki walked towards the locker room, took a look when she entered, and her eyelids twitched.

The girl standing at the door was the one in the video just now, wearing a plaid skirt and white silk leather shoes.

She looked a little helpless, and she looked at him, letting the JK next to her take pictures.

"like......"

"Why are you here?" Aragaki Ai stopped, turned her head and headed towards the door.

"Ugh?"

Listening to the conversation between the two, JK was stunned. He looked at Wakaba Mutsu and then at Aragaki Ai.

No, you are not kidding.
