Classic soul swap, but a musical

I stared at the numbers above the elevator, which slowly turned into negative numbers, and knew we were about to separate.

She held her mouth shut.

Seeing that Mu was unwilling to go down, after the elevator door opened, Aragaki Ai accompanied her down.

Standing in front of the elevator door, Aragaki Ai hugged her, resting his hands on her waist and back, close to her ear, so close that the breath exhaled from his lips could hit her earlobe.

A little itchy.

Being so close, a blush crept up her cheeks and spread to her neck and ears.

"Okay, go back and rest."

"Ah."

She felt the warmth of his embrace, hugged him, took a deep breath and closed her eyes.

At this moment, two people coughed lightly from the side. Aragaki Ai looked over and met the eyes of Mori Minami, who was wearing a windbreaker and sunglasses.

He immediately let go of my hand.

"Mu."

"Ok?"

She looked up and saw her mother. She was stunned for a second before slowly letting go of her hand, grabbing Aragaki Ai's back and hiding half of her body.

Mori Minami looked at him with a strange look in her eyes and turned to talk to her daughter.

"Mu, you must be home before ten o'clock from now on."

"Oh." Her hand had not left Aragaki Ai, but had moved behind his back.

"Aragaki, aren't you going up yet? Have you finished your work?" Mori Minami turned her spearhead directly towards him with a stern tone.

"No, I'll go right away."

Aragaki Ai patted her head, Mu let go of her hand, said goodbye to him, and got in the car.

Turning around, he got into the elevator with Mori Minami. He felt a little uncomfortable, so he stood straight, with his hands behind his back and pursed his lips.

She didn't say anything, and they just walked out of the elevator together. The others looked at them with a bit of surprise.

From that day on, Mu's access control became stricter.

Ai Aragaki felt that it had nothing to do with him.

After returning to the office, he first contacted other departments. After finishing all these tasks, he chose to log in to Xiao Gudu's account.

It's not even nine o'clock yet. At this time, she should be practicing the piano at home or watching some band performances.

[Game loading]

It was different from what he had imagined. It was not that dark closet. Before his sight returned, his ears were filled with noisy sounds, which made his head hurt.

The ground was shaking, and with the loud music, I felt like my soul was flying away.

He finally saw clearly through a narrow window and saw the situation outside. At the end of the crowd, in a deserted corner, he looked at the mop and broom beside him. It should be a cleaning cabinet.

There was an underground live outside. The people singing on the stage were a few young people, shaking their heads and singing their own songs. Their singing level was average and the lyrics were also average.

"What's going on?" asked Aragaki Ai.

But it was too noisy, and Little Lonely couldn't hear clearly, he just felt that he was talking.

"Ah? Mr. Ghost? What did you say?"

He dug into his pocket, pulled out his phone, typed on it, and held it before him.

"what happened?"

"Ah? Are you asking me why I'm here?" Little Lonely's voice became low and he began to explain.

"Hongxia asked me to come play, but Liang forced me to buy a ticket. I couldn't refuse, so I stayed."

It fits his impression of Liang very well, he can even imagine Little Lonely turning grayish white, and he is probably not used to this situation now, after all, he is hiding in the closet.

Feeling the arrival of Mr. Ghost, Xiao Gu Du breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, with a sense of complete security.

It's really scary here.

Too many people.

Little Lonely suddenly remembered something and said to him, "By the way, Mr. Ghost, it seems that the ticket can be exchanged for a drink. Do you want to go?"

"Wait a minute."

Aragaki Ai opened the cabinet door, turned around, and found that Xiao Gudu was indeed hiding in the locker.

Behind the crowd, with only the stage lights on, no one would notice him.

There were a few girls in mine-style clothes in front, and a few in gothic outfits, but they were all very ordinary.

He glanced at the beverage counter.

There was an unexpected person standing at the counter, serving drinks to the customers.

Xiangzi? Why is she here?

Ai Aragaki originally wanted to get a drink, but now she has given up the idea.

Volume 1: Chapter 122: Noise

Retreat back into the crowd and you won't be particularly conspicuous.

After observing for a while, Aragaki Ai decided not to contact Xiangzi for the time being and just watch the live show.

The quality of the next few bands varies. The bad ones are not even as good as Mujica, let alone Mygo.

He was yawning, waiting for Yamada Ryo's band. Xiao Gudu noticed that he was playing with his mobile phone and took the opportunity to ask questions.

"Um... Mr. Ghost wanted to go change his drink just now, right? Why didn't he go?"

"Not that thirsty." Aragaki Ai replied.

It wasn't long before Liang's current band finally arrived. A blue-haired girl stood behind the stage, looking unhappy as she played the bass.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

Not far ahead, even the noisy environment could not cover up her screams.

The red-haired girl looked at Liang on the stage, jumped up excitedly and waved at her.

Ai Aragaki looked at her back and raised her eyebrows. There were so many surprises today.

It turned out to be Kita.

No, the real surprise was Xiangzi. It was natural for him to meet Kita.

He turned his head and looked at the drinks counter.

Although I don't know how she got here to work, she shouldn't be discovered if she goes there to get a drink, so disguising herself as Xiao Gu Du is no big deal.

I haven't gone there because I haven't decided whether to reveal my identity or not.

I’m not afraid that Xiangzi will know, but I’m a little afraid that Xiao Gudu will know.

He was planning to raise his favorability to 50 or 60, and then disappear using the excuse of becoming a Buddha after the band was formed.

After a moment, I focused on Liang's performance and looked at the band on the stage.

Overall it's pretty average, the songs are just too ordinary, and the skills are just average, no wonder Ryo would argue with them.

There are two songs in total, both of which have obvious traces of imitation and tend to be popular.

I guess it’s because they’ve been arguing a lot recently and haven’t played together much, so the band members’ coordination is not good enough.

After the song ended, they bowed to the audience.

At this time, not only did the audience not give any applause, even the red-haired girl acted very indifferent, even a little disappointed.

Too ordinary.

Ai Aragaki's attention was all on Kita. After watching Liang's band, she walked towards the drink counter.

After thinking for a moment, he followed closely and watched Xiduo order a drink and walk towards the quieter corridor on the side.

His breathing became heavy, and he pretended to be lonely and trembling. He squatted under the counter, reached out, and pushed the ticket onto the counter.

"Um...I want a drink."

"Yes." Xiangzi didn't think too much about it. He found it interesting to see that the girl he had just met backstage was hiding under the counter.

She placed the drinks on the counter, "Goto-san, right? We just met."

".....Yes, I'm sorry." Aragaki Ai was stunned and shrank her neck. Fortunately, she pretended to be a little lonely, otherwise she would definitely be caught by Xiangzi.

"No need to say sorry." She pushed her drink aside and lowered her head.

"Thank you."

He picked up the drink and went to find Xiduo, fearing that if he delayed any longer, Xiduo would run away.

As we moved away from the front of the live stage, the sound became much quieter and less noisy.

My heart feels relieved.

He asked softly, "Have you seen her?"

"Well...you mean Xiangzi?" Xiao Gudu always felt that Mr. Ghost was hiding from the girl with long blue hair.

Is it someone you knew before you died?

It seems that Mr. Ghost has not been dead for long, so it is normal for him to have someone he knows.

But he...isn't he the same as me, a marginal figure in society, and he says he doesn't have many friends.

Aragaki Ai continued, "Oh, her name is Xiangzi? She seems like a nice person. Has Xiao Gudu made friends with her?"

"No, no, I can't do that with someone so beautiful and outgoing. I can't do it on my own."

If he could see Xiao Gu Du, he would definitely shake his head and keep denying it.

Or we met too late.

If it were Bai Xiang, he would probably take the initiative to make friends with Xiao Gudu and find ways to bring her into his group of friends.

Whenever he recalled Bai Xiang...

It won't be resurrected.

Ai Aragaki saw Kita in the corridor. She was wearing a neat white shirt and a denim skirt, bare legs and white socks, and carrying a small bag with a pendant.

Youthfulness suits her best.

He is not wearing that pink sportswear yet. Little Lonely should really learn how to match clothes.

Taking advantage of the fact that they were both women, he stood near Kita without attracting her attention.

"Um... did you like the band just now?"

"........Excuse me, are you asking me?" Kita put away his phone and gave a standard social smile.

"Well, I've been following that band for a long time, and their style seems to have changed recently." Aragaki Ai found a common topic and wanted to use it to connect with Kita.

"Yeah." Kita agreed with him and began to talk about the band's recent songs and style.

They chatted for about ten minutes, she was the one talking and Aragaki Ai was listening, but this made Kita feel like he had found a confidant. His eyes brightened and he exuded a sunny temperament.

"Actually, my favorite is the bassist. Ryo-senpai is so handsome. That deadpan expression when he plays the bass... I'm attracted to him."

"Then... have you ever thought about being Liang's guitarist?" Aragaki Ai asked the question intentionally or unintentionally, as if casually.

"Oh..." Kita was stunned.

Occasionally someone would pass by in the corridor, but both of them had their backs to the wall and would not get in the way.

There was only a small light on, and the sounds of other bands could be heard, mixed with the noise of the audience, but the world was quiet at that moment.

Kita thought for a moment and played the guitar in the front while Ryo-senpai played the bass for her in the back.
