Anime Crossover Band, Rock Girl Won't Let Me Go

Oh dear...

It seems like they've gone too far.

Bai Qiu stated that he absolutely did not harbor any resentment or desire for revenge towards "Guitar Hero" after watching more than a thousand of "Guitar Hero's" videos.

Guitar Hero is Guitar Hero, and Goto Ichiri is Goto Ichiri.

Fortunately, the dizziness subsided quickly, and the recovery was also quick.

A moment later, Goto Ichiri woke up.

Ah...am I...still alive?

It's so good to be alive.

Why has the surrounding area become brighter?

As the view gradually cleared, the unfamiliar face of Shiraaki came into Goto Ichiri's view.

"Ah! Ah..."

Goto Ichiri remembered what had just happened.

In an instant, Goto Ichiri collapsed to the ground.

"I'm...I'm sorry, please forgive my offense...I'll get out of your sight right away."

At the same time, Goto Ichiri kept praying in his heart, "Don't kill me, don't kill me..."

Let me go, let me go!

Although he stumbled, Goto Ichiri finally managed to utter a complete sentence.

Bai Qiu was startled and stepped aside. "Don't perform such a grand gesture!"

"Goto-san, please get up. I won't hurt you."

Fearing that Goto Ichiri might run away, Bai Qiu added, "And, don't get out of here either."

"Oh...really?"

Goto Ichiri's body was still trembling uncontrollably.

"Yes, I'm not a bad person."

Bai Qiu nodded solemnly, though Goto Ichiri couldn't see it.

"Get up quickly."

"Ah good."

Goto Ichiri stood up shakily.

She kept her head slightly lowered, but she secretly observed Bai Qiu through the gap in her bangs.

This was a skill she had honed over many years, and she was confident she wouldn't be discovered.

His clean and tidy school uniform, his handsome appearance, and the faint dark circles under his eyes gave him a charming aura.

Ah, this blinding light.

It is about to be purified.

The other person must be a popular figure at school, undoubtedly a top-tier social butterfly.

Or... just kill her!

Seeing that Goto Ichiri was acting a bit better, it seemed that communication was possible, and Bai Qiu breathed a sigh of relief.

If Ms. Hiratsuka Shizuka saw what just happened...

They'd all think he was bullying his classmates.

Then, wield the iron fist of justice and impose sanctions.

Ah, just thinking about it makes me shudder. Bai Qiu shook her head, banishing the thought.

"Hello, Goto-kun, I'm Shirai Aki from Class 3."

Strange name... Is he an international student?

"Ah, hello, Bai."

Goto Ichiri struggled to answer, "No, you know my name?"

So surprised was Ichiri Goto that he uttered those words fluently.

At the same time, she was filled with surprise and doubt, as well as a little bit of joy.

Surprisingly, someone actually recognized her?

Oh no, was my tone too harsh just now? And I didn't use honorifics.

Oh no, he must be angry.

They'll probably get killed.

Bai Qiu, however, seemed to have seen through all of Goto Ichiri's thoughts.

Bai Qiu revealed an unprecedentedly gentle expression, trying his best to appear harmless, something he had never shown even in front of the lamp.

"Alright, Goto, you don't need to be so reserved."

Bai Qiu continued, "Yes, I know your name, I know you."

"why?"

She is an existence even rarer than the Shimokitazawa Tail Serpent, an inconspicuous figure.

Surprisingly, someone at this school knew her.

It's still at that level.

Has she become that famous already?

No, no, no, Goto Ichiri felt immense fear.

Bai Qiu was slightly taken aback, but quickly understood what Goto Ichiri meant.

"I simply memorized the names of all the students in my grade."

Bai Qiuyun said lightly and gently.

"what……"

So that's how it is! So she wasn't special after all.

Damn it, what's with this feeling of loss?! Waaah...

Although I don't know why the other person would do such a strange thing.

But Goto Ichiri didn't dare to ask any questions; instead...

"Okay, that's great."

Bai Qiu smiled lightly, realizing that showing off to Goto Ichi didn't seem to have brought him any real satisfaction.

Forget it, let’s get down to business.

"Was that Goto playing the guitar just now?"

Bai Qiu looked at Goto Ichiri's guitar.

The Gibson Les Paul Custom was a gift from her father.

It is said to be worth 50 yen.

"Ah, yes..."

Goto Ichiri dared not deny it at all.

Was it because the guitar playing was disturbing him that he was drawn over?

I'm sorry, she'll never dare to play the guitar here again.

Goto Ichiri wanted to apologize and make amends.

"sorry……"

"Goto's guitar skills are really good."

Bai Qiu sincerely praised him, saying that he had played such a difficult piece of music in just a simple improvisation.

"Eh……?"

He wasn't angry? And he was praised!

Goto Hajime grinned foolishly: "Hehe... thank you..."

Indeed, harsh words can be as cold as a summer's heat, while a kind word can warm you for three winters.

Praise is the best medicine!

Bai Qiu couldn't help but think that praise was the best way to deal with Goto Ichiri.

However, Bai Qiu's next words made Goto Ichiri's smile vanish.

"It sounds just like Guitar Hero, not completely unrelated, but exactly the same. Oh right, I think Guitar Hero also covered this song last night!"

A guitar hero?!

"Ah...yes, is that so..."

Goto Ichiri was speechless for a moment. Looking at Bai Qiu's smile, she felt that Bai Qiu was hinting at something.

Say something to explain yourself!

"I am actually a fan of Guitar Hero."

Phew, what a perfect excuse.

Goto Ichiri breathed a sigh of relief, admiring himself while patting his chest hidden under his sports jacket.

"That's such a coincidence, I'm actually a fan of Guitar Heroes too."

Bai Qiu said excitedly.

"Guitar Hero Teacher, I've watched all 1021 videos over the past three years, totaling more than 4560 minutes."

As Bai Qiu spoke, her eyes gradually became vacant.

I didn't realize I'd already uploaded so many videos.

But isn't this number too accurate?

It sounds rather strange.

But there's no way to control it now; Goto Ichiri is very excited.

She has such loyal fans!

I really want to play a song to my heart's content and sing it out loud!

"Yeah, Guitar Hero is amazing..."

With a hint of self-praise, Goto Ichiri could no longer suppress the smile on her face.

But she was still trying to pretend.

Bai Qiu took a deep breath. Something seemed off about her just now.

Goto Ichiri mustered her courage and asked, "Does Shiraaki-san also... play musical instruments?"

The school has a pretty good musical atmosphere.

So, Goto Ichiri carried his instruments on his back and hung band merchandise on his backpack.

She hopes someone will take the initiative to talk to her, or even invite her to join the band.

However, nobody paid any attention to her.

She clearly saw that the other classmates who carried musical instruments were very popular.

Why is it different for her?

Now, finally someone is willing to talk to her.

Honestly, Goto Ichiri was so moved by her own fans that she almost cried.

Since Bai Qiu likes Guitar Hero so much, he must play the guitar too.

Bai Qiu nodded. "Although I really like Guitar Hero, I actually play the electronic keyboard."

"what……"

Goto Ichiri 6д9……

She knew nothing about anything except the guitar.

The hope that had just been ignited has already been extinguished.

Bai Qiu must have felt that they had nothing in common and parted ways.

Reality, shatter!

Shatter your spirit!

……

"Hey! Goto-kun? Are you there?"

Bai Qiu waved his hand in front of Goto Ichiri, who seemed to be in some kind of special state.

"Ya hello!"

"Moxi Moxi~"

"Does Goto-kun have a band?"

She didn't come to her senses until Bai Qiu patted Goto Ichiri on the shoulder.

"Ah, no..."

Goto Ichiri twitched as he answered.

How could anyone possibly form a band with a creature as slug-like as her?

"That's right, no," Bai Qiu smiled gently.

"Want to form a band with me?"

Bai Qiu extended the invitation sincerely and earnestly.

If it weren't for the fact that I'm not very familiar with Goto Ichiri yet, and that she's a girl.

Afraid of startling her, Bai Qiu originally planned to extend a hand as an invitation.

It shows more sincerity, and it's also very handsome, isn't it?

band?!!!

Goto Ichiri heard the words he had been longing for.

But my body was completely frozen; I couldn't move, I couldn't move at all...

Should we agree? Yes, we absolutely must agree!

Besides, do you even have the courage to refuse?

The other person is a boy!? That kind of thing doesn't matter at all!

Goto Ichiri's brain had already begun to brainstorm.

However, the body clearly cannot keep up.

Answer me quickly, Avadasish! Answer me quickly, Avadasish!

Seeing that Goto Ichiri remained silent, Bai Qiu wondered if something might have gone wrong.

Bai Qiu's gaze passed through Goto Ichiri's bangs and landed on her trembling, deep blue eyes, as captivating as sapphires.

"This may be the only request I ever make of you in my life, Goto-kun."

Although she knew that socially anxious Ichiri Goto couldn't refuse.

However, Bai Qiu still decided to give her some stronger medicine.

"Hey! I want to form a band."

Out!

She said it.

Goto Ichiri felt her heart pounding.

My body started trembling again, but this time it was from excitement, not fear.

"Jingle Bell……"

The bell rang to signal the start of class.

Although Japan starts school late and finishes school early.

However, the lunch break is still relatively short.

It usually takes about an hour to an hour and a half.

……

Ah, wonderful times always seem so short.

Bai Qiu felt a little regretful. Before leaving, she quickly took out her phone to add contact information for future communication.

"By the way, Goto-kun, let's add each other on Line,"

Bai Qiu,.

"Eh...? Huh!"

"What's wrong? Isn't it normal for friends to add each other's contact information?"

"Friend, friend?"

Goto Ichiri was both puzzled and nervous, and tentatively repeated the sentence.

"Yeah, Goto-kun, you're going to form a band together, aren't you friends yet?"

Bai Qiu said doubtfully.

"Ah... yes!"

"Please let me sweep you!"

Goto Ichiri respectfully raised her phone. As far as she knew, scanning the QR code was a sign of humility and politeness.

How could we let Lord Bai Qiu do such a thing?

Bai Qiu paused for a moment, then switched her phone's Line app to a QR code interface.
