"Guitar Hero, this is my junior, please sign an autograph for her!"

The "Guitar Hero" didn't answer out loud, but he wrote quickly and happily signed his name in the notebook.

After signing, she continued walking towards the exit surrounded by the crowd.

Ijichi Xingge didn't chase after him, but went straight to Pochi and said directly: "Pochi, let me see your guitar bag."

Pochi was a little flustered, but still handed the bag to Ijichi Seige.

Xingge took a deep breath and unzipped her guitar bag—she saw the same guitar inside that Guitar Hero used.

Two guitars appeared in front of her at the same time, which completely destroyed her last bit of hope.

She originally thought that the most powerful evidence was that the two people used the same guitar, but this evidence also did not hold true.

Even if she didn't believe it, she had to confirm one thing under such circumstances: Guitar Hero really wasn't Pochi...

Ichichi Xingge sighed deeply with a complicated feeling in his heart.

She looked at Pochi, who was holding the autograph notebook as if it were a treasure, and after gathering her thoughts, she asked, "Pochi, why did you come here just now? Weren't you taking care of Xingchuan?"

"Mr. Hoshikawa said he had something to do, so he let me rest in the car. I fell asleep without realizing it. By the time I learned that Guitar Hero had arrived, it was already too late..."

Pochi stammered, somewhat annoyed.

Ijichi Xingge looked at Pochi from head to toe. She was sweating all over and panting, as if she had really run all the way here.

She stared at Pochi and suddenly asked bluntly: "Pochi, do you know who the guitar hero is? Have you ever seen her before?"

"I, I don't know..."

Pochi's face showed obvious panic.

Anyone could tell she was lying.

Just when Ichichi Seika was about to press the issue, Yamada Ryo suddenly said:

"Pochi, do you know who she is, but for some reason, you can't tell her?"

"Uh-huh!"

Pochi nodded repeatedly, tears welling up in the corners of his eyes.

"That's it..."

Yamada Ryo looked up at Xingge and said calmly, "Sister Xingge, Pochi has her own difficulties. Maybe she promised Mr. Xingchuan something. It's better not to force her. If you want to know, I suggest you ask Mr. Xingchuan himself."

"...Well, I was abrupt."

Ijichi Xingge was a little impatient for a moment because his speculation was wrong.

Now that I have calmed down, I have realized my mistake.

Besides Pochi, Hiroi and the others also know the truth, so it would not be a good idea to force Pochi to tell the truth.

Ijichi Xingge patted Pochi's head and said in a softer tone, "Pochi, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked you about this. Since you promised to keep it a secret, then keep it a secret."

Pochi nodded repeatedly and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Lying in front of so many people made Pochi break out in a cold sweat on his back and he was very nervous.

Fortunately, she was sweating all over and out of breath from running, so she barely avoided being questioned.

Pochi calmed herself down and looked up. She saw Yamada Ryo quietly giving her a thumbs up.

I finally passed this level.

-

After a lot of effort, "Guitar Hero" finally got rid of the crowd and got on the bus.

As soon as she got in the car, she couldn't wait to take off her hood.

Under the hood is a girl with pink hair. However, this girl is not Pochi, but Chihaya Aine.

"Mr. Hoshikawa, how was my performance!?"

As soon as she took off the hood, Aine couldn't wait to take credit, "Is there anything wrong?"

Hoshikawa Taku, who had already taken his place in the passenger seat, turned around and praised with a smile, "You performed very well, and the timing of your exchange with Pochi was also very good. I'm sure no one will notice that you two have swapped identities."

That’s right, there were two “guitar heroes” on stage in this performance.

Since Taku Hoshikawa can prepare two guitars, he can naturally prepare two sets of Guitar Hero equipment for replacement.

During the performance, it was Pochi himself who stood on the stage and played the guitar.

After the performance, Pochi briefly left the backstage for a few seconds.

And in that brief interval, Chihaya Aine, who had been prepared for a long time, walked out and performed a "stealing trick" in front of everyone.

It was like "magic", and no one noticed that the guitar hero had changed.

While Hiroi was giving his speech and Aine was posing on the stage, Pochi hurriedly took off his equipment, changed into his pink sportswear, and ran around in a circle from the backstage to the main entrance.

Hiroi was on the stage just to buy her time, so that Pochi could bump into the "Guitar Hero" and create the illusion that the two were there at the same time.

The principle is simple, it's just the "twins" trick in detective novels, but no one would think that way without evidence.

Everyone will feel like there is only one guitar hero present.

Aiyin patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief: "I can finally breathe a sigh of relief... I didn't expect so many people to be surrounding me..."

"So do you like being surrounded by people?"

Hoshikawa Taku asked with a smile.

Aiyin smiled widely and nodded vigorously: "I like it! But I hope that next time I can show my true self and be welcomed and recognized by the audience!"

Aiyin is vain and what she wants most is to be the focus of the audience and get other people's attention.

This time I got a "temporary experience card" and truly experienced the feeling of being a "big star". I didn't expect that I would be surrounded by so many people.

Thinking of this, Aine couldn’t help but chuckle.

Today was really worth it!

Xiaozhi, who was sitting in the back row, looked at the dress Aine was wearing with some envy and couldn't help asking: "Aine, how does this dress feel to you?"

Aiyin enthusiastically shared her experience:

"When I put on the mask, I felt like I was playing a game. Looking outside through the net, it was as if I had really transformed into a superhero!"

"There's just one thing. This dress feels a bit baggy in the front and doesn't quite fit me..."

Aiyin lowered her head and adjusted her clothes. She found that she could see her belly from her neck through the collar without any obstruction, and she was immediately overwhelmed with sadness.

I already knew that there was a huge gap between me and Pochi, but now that I have personally tried Pochi's clothes, I suddenly feel that there is a "world of difference".

It was a gap that she could not cross no matter how hard she tried.

Even using "technology" to lay down three or four layers is not enough.

Hoshikawa Taku clapped his hands and said, "Alright, everyone did a great job today. The event is over successfully. I'll take you all out for dinner!"

Hoshikawa Taku's words temporarily brought Aine out of her depression.

She turned her grief and anger into strength. Even if her innate conditions were not good, as long as she worked hard, things would definitely improve.

I must eat more protein so that I can "grow"!

Chapter 141: Triangle Chuhua’s “important daughter” speech.

At the same time that Hoshikawa Taku and the others left the cultural festival, Toyokawa Shoko and Sankaku Hatsuka also slowly walked out of the planetarium together.

The dusk outside the planetarium gradually deepened, and the sparse starlight in the night sky was obscured by the city lights, but it still revealed a hint of fantasy.

Xiangzi originally thought that Chuhua wanted to meet her today because he must have something important to discuss.

Unexpectedly, after meeting, Chuhua just said that she wanted to find a partner to relive the old days, and hoped that Xiangzi would accompany her to the planetarium to watch the stars.

"It's great, Xiangzi. It's been a long time since we've looked at the stars together."

Chu Hua looked up at the few sparse stars in the sky and sighed, "Ever since I came to Tokyo from the island, I haven't seen any stars when I looked up at the sky. The light pollution here is too serious. If I want to see the stars, I can only go to places like the planetarium."

Xiangzi also showed a nostalgic expression on his face.

"Yeah, the time we spent on the island was truly unforgettable. We were all so carefree back then..."

When she was a child, her grandfather would take her to the island every summer.

At that time, her mother was in poor health and her father had to take care of her, so only her grandfather would take her to the island to relax.

Grandpa had a close relationship with Chuhua’s mother and would visit her every time he came to the island.

They seemed to have a lot of important things to discuss privately. When the two adults were chatting in the room, Chuhua's mother would let her and Chuhua play outside.

Xiangzi's only friend on the entire island is Chuhua, and all his happy memories are created with her.

She has always cherished this friendship.

When Xiangzi learned a few years ago that Chuhua came to Tokyo from the island and became an idol, he was filled with surprise and excitement.

Although their identities are no longer the same, they finally meet again.

When Xiangzi first met Chuhua, he felt that there was a sense of strangeness about Chuhua, as if she was not the person he had known before.

But Xiangzi didn't think much about it. He just thought that both of them had experienced too much and were no longer as naive as before.

During their interactions, Xiangzi and Chuhua quickly regained their sincere and pure friendship.

Today's day of companionship also made Xiangzi recall the times when they played together in the past.

At this moment, Xiangzi received a text message from Taku Hoshikawa.

"Xiangzi, are you free now? Do you want to have a celebratory meal together? I'll pick you up now."

Xiangzi showed a slight smile on his face, and immediately replied to Hoshikawa Taku and told him his current address.

She raised her head and said to Chuhua: "Chuhua, it's getting late now, so I'll take my leave."

"Wait a moment!"

Chuhua suddenly called Xiangzi.

She hesitated for a moment and then asked, "Xiangzi, are you still living with your father?"

"Ah."

Xiangzi nodded.

"Has your father changed?"

"It's still the same as usual, just drinking every day and not doing anything serious..."

Xiangzi sighed softly, with a hint of helplessness in his voice.

Her father did nothing every day except drinking and playing marbles.

Fortunately, she now has enough income to barely support her father's living expenses, otherwise she would really have a headache.

I won’t have time to go to the planetarium with Chuhua today.

Xiangzi was a little numb towards his father. He no longer had any expectations for him and just wanted him to cheer up.

As long as he doesn't cause me trouble and doesn't go to the police station for me to claim him, I would be willing to spend money to support him.

Xiangzi once wanted to find a sense of security and a support in her father, but her father was completely unreliable.

But Xiangzi no longer complained about his father's incompetence.

Because... she now found the feeling her father once gave her in Taku Hoshikawa.

Xiangzi got a sense of security from Hoshikawa Taku. Her current efforts are not for her father to see, but for Hoshikawa Taku to see.

She hoped to receive praise from Taku Hoshikawa, just like she had received praise from her father when she was a child.

Thinking of Hoshikawa Taku, Xiangzi smiled a little more.

Chuhua didn't know what Xiangzi was thinking, so she seized the opportunity and told him the purpose of her meeting with Xiangzi.

"Xiangzi, it's a bit inconvenient for a girl like you to live with your father. You always have to play the piano. If you want to practice at home, you have to worry about whether it will disturb him."

"Do you want to come live with me? My house is quite big. If we live together, I can help you..."

Xiangzi was stunned for a moment, then chuckled and declined.
