You are the first one to get into Triangle, then who am I?

Looking at the scene in front of him, Sanjiao Chuxia smiled slightly, quietly took a step back and was about to leave, but the creaking sound of the wooden floor caught his attention.

"Xiao Xia."

Hanazono Tahui's voice pierced through the chorus of sobs. She looked at Sanjiao Hatsuka, who was standing on the steps with only half of her legs exposed. Tears still stained her face, but her smile was brighter than ever.

"Thank you."

The three words were as light as a feather, but they stopped him in his tracks.

Sanjiao Hatsuka slowly walked down the stairs and visited the secret base of [Poppin'Party] for the first time.

"I'm ready to leave. Can't you just pretend I'm not here when the atmosphere is so good?"

"No, it's all thanks to Xiao Xia that I can reconcile with everyone. I must thank you very much."

"Even without me, Poppin' Party will be able to reconcile soon." He said calmly, "I just said some obvious things..."

Judging from what they just said, [Poppin'Party] just needs a small opportunity. Sanjiao Hatsuxia doesn't think she has done anything worthy of gratitude.

Next time you meet, just say thank you casually.

“I don’t take it for granted!”

Toyama Kasumi suddenly emerged from the crowd, her star-shaped hairpin slightly askew. She rushed to Sanjiao Hatsuka in two steps, her face covered in tears and snot.

"If it weren't for Xiao Xia, Otae might have... might have..."

She cried so hard that she couldn't speak anymore, and she pounced and hugged Sanjiao Chuxia's waist.

This time, without Ichigaya Arisaki's obstruction, Sanka was caught off guard and was knocked back two steps, and the guitar behind her almost hit the wall.

"Kasumi!" Ichigaya Yusaki hurried forward and pulled her away, "You rubbed your snot on someone else's clothes!"

Ushigome Satomi frantically handed over a tissue, while Yamabuki Sayaka stood by and couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh. Hanazono Tae looked at the chaotic scene, her eyes narrowed into crescents.

"Xiao Xia." She walked around Toyama Kasumi, who was locked by Ichigaya Yusaki, and handed over the plastic bag containing the canned coffee. "Here's your return."

Sanjiao Chuxia took the bag and took out a can of coffee from it.

"Actually..." He pulled the ring, the metallic sound particularly crisp in the quiet warehouse, "I'm quite envious of you."

………………

ps: I originally thought that I would let Otae explain it to everyone after persuading him, but I selfishly wanted Chuxia to participate QWQ

ps2: Including this persuasion, Chuxia has helped Otae twice!

Chapter 177: To put it bluntly, Popipa is really a dynasty

"Actually..." He pulled the ring, the metallic sound particularly crisp in the quiet warehouse, "I'm quite envious of you."

Everyone fell silent. Toyama Kasumi's sobs faded into small hiccups, Ichigaya Arisaki's fingers twirled unconsciously through her braid, and Ushigome Satomi and Yamabuki Sayaka exchanged a puzzled look.

"What are you envious of?" Hua Yuan Duohui asked with her head tilted, a strand of black hair slipping behind her ear.

Sanjiao Chuxia took a sip of coffee, and the cold liquid ran down his throat.

"I envy you all for being so forthright about your feelings." He glanced over everyone's face. "My previous bands...were never like this."

The previous band refers to [CRYCHIC].

It’s not that Sanka Hatsuka hates these people in [CRYCHIC], but the atmosphere of the whole band is always too depressing (because Toyokawa Shoko is not there).

Among the five people, two of them are not very good at speaking, and one of them always speaks in a harsh tone. It is all up to him and Nagasaki Motoyo to maintain the situation. They also have to keep an eye on who has a mood problem. To be honest, it is a bit tiring.

The five members of "Poppin' Party", even the somewhat timid Satomi Ushigome, are able to express their feelings to everyone.

(That’s great, [Popipa].)

"Then...what about Sankaku-san's current band?" Ushigome Satomi suddenly asked in a low voice.

"[Personal action]?" Sanjiao Hatsuka's mouth curled up slightly, "I'm still working on it."

The band is basically formed with him as the center, so the atmosphere is naturally not too bad when he is around. It’s just that Sanjiao Chuxia hopes that the other members can be more relaxed and harmonious when they are alone together.

At this moment, Kasumi Toyama suddenly raised her hand.

"Then let's help Xiao Xia with special training!" Her voice was a little hoarse from crying, but it couldn't hide her liveliness. "Popipa is best at making people kirakiradokidoki!"

"Wait a minute, Kasumi—" Ichigaya Yusaki was about to stop her, but it was too late.

"First, let's practice hugging!" Kasumi Toyama opened her arms and rushed forward again.

"Don't scare them away, idiot!"

Ichigaya Yusaki grabbed the back of her collar and lifted her up. Toyama Kasumi fluttered in the air like a captured kitten.

"Eh—why?! Hugging is obviously the most direct way to express yourself!"

She treats everyone and Rikka the same way!

Looking at this scene, Sanjiao Chuxia couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Kasumi-senpai, even though I'm not in high school yet, I'm still the opposite sex after all, so it's better not to hug me like this. Also, Duohui-senpai... Duohui-senpai?"

He turned to look at Hua Yuan Duohui, only to find that she suddenly squatted down and took out a pen and notebook from her guitar bag.

"otae?" Ichigaya Yusaki released the hand that was grabbing Toyama Kasumi's collar and looked at her in confusion.

I saw Yuan Hua Duohui holding a pen, writing something quickly in a notebook, making a rapid "rustling" sound on the paper. Her bangs fell down and covered half of her eyes, and only her tightly pursed lips could be seen.

Everyone fell silent at the same time, leaving only the sounds of breathing and pens scraping against paper in the warehouse, until...

"Everyone, Xiaoxia." Hanazono Dahui stood up and turned to face everyone. "I put all my feelings into it. Please listen to the song I wrote."

After saying that, she pinched the guitar pick and gently plucked the strings. The crisp notes lit up one after another like stars, forming a soothing and gentle prelude.

"生まれたplaceから小し里れて(leaving the place where I was born)"

This is my dream (I realized what kind of dream I was having)

......"

Hua Yuan Duo Hui's voice flowed slowly like a stream under the moonlight. Her emotions gradually increased, finally reaching a climax in a long note.

"どんなに空がDYしくても (Even if the night sky is so bright)

The star I want is only one.

......"

Even if there are no other instruments, only Hanazono Tae's guitar and singing, the emotions in the song will still overflow.

"もう久歌わせて声かせて(I want to sing it again with a loud singing voice)

Hondōの気志ちだけだった (The song that condenses my sincerity)

Forever and the future are mixed together (there is a bit more expectation for eternity and the future)."

This is the song that Hanazu Tahui wrote for Poppin'Party, a song for everyone.

Sanjiao Chuxia's fingertips were slightly numb. The can of coffee in his hand had been empty without him knowing. The aluminum shell was dented by his unconscious pinching.

When the melodious sound of the last chord gradually faded away, she pressed the still vibrating strings and looked up at everyone.

"This song... is called 'Returns'."

(Is it true that a song of this quality was written in such a short time!?)

When she thought about how she had to work half-heartedly for a whole night to write a lyric, while the other party could compose the lyrics and music in less than half an hour, Sanjiao Chuxia suddenly realized the gap between herself and the genius.

"Don't write a song about something like this..." Ichigaya Yusaki sighed softly, but walked honestly behind the keyboard, "Do it again."

"Eh?"

“Sing ‘Returns’ again.”

Although she didn't quite understand her intention, Hanazono Duohui still played and sang again as she asked.

After the first two lines of lyrics, the sound of Arisaki Ichigaya's keyboard suddenly rang out, embellishing her singing and making the gradual progression of emotions more obvious.

(Wait, you can play it after just one listen?)

Compared to [RAS] and [Roselia], Sanjiao Chuxia's not-so-strong playing skills made her realize now that there were actually two geniuses in [Poppin'Party].

It only took one take for Yusaki Ichigaya to complete the arrangement of the keyboard part and follow along with the performance. She even completed the arrangement of the parts for the remaining few people during the second take.

"Everyone, let's play together."

"Ok!"

Yamabuki Saya was the first to react and sat behind the drum set.

Ushigome Satomi trotted over and hung up her bass: "I, I'll give it a try."

Kasumi Toyama's eyes lit up. She grabbed the star guitar and ran to Tae Hanazono. Their shoulders bumped lightly.

"Otae! Let's do it together!"

"Yeah." Hanazono Tae nodded, then turned her gaze to Sanka Hatsuka standing aside, "Xiaoxia, come and be the first audience member of "Returns"."

"This is a thank you gift to Xiao Xia for helping [Popipa] twice!"

Looking at the five people from [Poppin'Party] standing together in front of him, Sanjiao Hatsuka unconsciously revealed a sincere smile.

He now understood why Rikka Asahi liked Poppin'Party so much.

"Oh, it's an honor."

………………

ps: It’s so fun to write about ppp. I really like the song “Returns”, it’s second only to “Teardrops”.

Chapter 178: Cucumber... Too Tight...!

(rag wash...)[1]

As the last note faded, Sankaku Hatsuka's eyes felt warm for some reason. Toyama Kasumi came bounding over, but this time she didn't hug him, only giving him a bright smile.

"How's it going, is kirakiradokidoki up?"

"Hmm, beyond imagination... kirakiradokidoki." He suddenly laughed out loud, "I'm already a big fan of [Popipa]."

The applause of the early summer in the triangle echoed crisply in the warehouse.

"Hehe...Oh right!"

Kasumi Toyama suddenly took off the pick from her guitar, blew on it in front of her, and then handed it to him solemnly.

"This is for Xiaoxia." Her voice was clearer than usual, and her eyes were a little red from crying. "It has the power of [Popipa]!"

The pick's color scheme was the same as Toyama Kasumi's guitar: a red base with a yellow star in the center. Mikado Hatsuka took the pick and felt the warmth of its owner still lingering on it.

"Kasumi-senpai, this..."

"Take it." Ichigaya Yusaki stood aside with his arms folded, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "It's rare for Kasumi to be so serious."

Yamabuki Saaya put the drumsticks together and carefully put them away. "This is the pick Kasumi used the first time she played. She has always treasured it."

"I accidentally dropped it once before, and Kasumi-chan was so anxious that she looked for it for a long time..." Ushigome Satomi added in a low voice.

After hearing these words, Sanjiao Chuxia suddenly felt that the guitar pick in his hand had become much heavier.

Toyama Kasumi put her hands behind her back and looked at him with a smile: "This is the second time that Xiaoxia has brought otae back to [Popipa]. This is a thank you gift."

He looked down at the pick in his palm. The star pattern shone warmly under the light of the warehouse. The edge of the pick was slightly worn, showing the traces of long-term use by its owner.

At this time, Sanjiao Chuxia would no longer say hypocritically, "This is too expensive, I can't accept it." Instead, she would gently close her palm and hold the pick in her palm.

"Thank you, Kasumi-senpai. I will cherish it."

(Next time I see Rikka-senpai, I'll show off in front of her.)

After a quick goodbye, Mikado Hatsuka left Ichigaya Yusaki's house and walked into the night. The sky was filled with stars, like the Milky Way, that lit up the streets.

………………

The door to the practice room was flung open.

Sanjiao Chuxia came in with one hand raised high, a rare look of excitement on her face: "Everyone! Come and hug me!"
