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

"Then... put on the mask of music!"

“Get your smile ready!”

"Same as usual."

“Facing the greatest stage.”

"With all my heart and soul."

"Go ahead—"

Everyone's voices rang out: "Popipa, pipopa, Popipapapipopa!"[1]

Thirty hands were raised simultaneously, and the ceiling was shaking with cheers. Mikado Hatsuka saw Wakaba Mutsugi's rare smile, and saw Asahi Rikka's eyes welling up with excitement.

After the circle formation ended, Poppin'Party went straight to the stage as the first band to perform.

"Are you nervous?" He suddenly leaned close to Ruoye Mu. No emotion could be seen on her expressionless face.

"No." Ruoye Mu shook his head, "Xia, why did you... bring my guitar?"

When Sanka Hatsuka was pulled in by Toyama Kasumi, she noticed the guitar bag on his back - his guitar had been placed backstage in advance, and that guitar bag was the one that Wakaba Mutsu had been using.

Sanjiao Chuxia, who was asked, had already thought of a reason.

"I thought you'd be nervous, so I thought I'd bring you over and play some music together to relax before going on stage... but now it seems that's not necessary."

Ruoye Mu suddenly felt a little regretful when he said that he was no longer nervous.

[1] Poppin' Party's slogan.

P.S.: It's hard to write scenes with so many people, especially because they haven't appeared before. Those who haven't seen the previous work may feel a little unfamiliar, and the plot line does not allow us to write about getting to know them one by one.

Chapter 184: Cucumber, it's time to use your real instrument

“Welcome to the Popipapapipo Party.”

"We are Poppin' Party!"*5

The audience in the audience waved glow sticks and cheered excitedly.

"Thank you all for coming to our first solo performance! Please enjoy it!" Toyama Kasumi glanced at her teammates. "Let's kick things off with a song. Please listen to our new song, 'Returns'!"

"Eh!"

Standing in front of the sound console, Rika Asahi showed a surprised expression - "Returns" was clearly not the scheduled opening song!

The prelude had already begun, and Hanazono Tae's guitar flowed like a spring. Asahi Rikka hurriedly flipped through the setlist, checking to see if any sound parameters needed adjusting. The audience seemed oblivious, their light sticks waving in unison to the rhythm.

"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)

......"

In the lounge, Triangle Hatsuka, who was watching "Poppin' Party" start playing on the screen, was also shocked by this sudden change.

He turned to look at Michelle and said, "Bro Xiong, is it okay for Popipa to be so casual in her performance?"

"Um... my name is Michelle..." Ozawa Misaki scratched her headgear with her hand wrapped in the doll costume. "As for [Popipa], no, I should say Toyama-san is just like that. I guess everyone is used to it..."

"It's not the first day you've known Kasumi-senpai." Hachiman Kailing said.

"That's true..."

Sanjiao Chuxia glanced around at everyone's reactions and found that they were either satisfied or excited about the song.

(Is it actually me who is abnormal!?)

"Don't doubt yourself." Michelle seemed to see what he was thinking at once and patted him on the shoulder.

Miraculously, Sanjiao Chuxia saw a look of "I understand you" in the bear's eyes. [1]

………………

On the stage, Mikado Hatsuka was tuning his guitar when he caught a glimpse of a familiar dark brown. He squinted subconsciously—Shiina Riki was leaning against the wall, his arms folded, looking at his phone.

"Shiina-san?" he almost blurted out, his fingers scratching a discordant note on the strings.

Hachiman Kailing turned her head sharply and followed his gaze: "An acquaintance?"

"Um... Crychic's drummer." Sanjiao Chuxia answered in a low voice and quickly adjusted his state.

Below the stage, Nagasaki Suyo was tiptoeing for a closer seat when she bumped into Shiina Riki's shoulder. The moment their eyes met, the air seemed to freeze.

"Su Shi? Why are you here?"

In her opinion, Nagasaki Suyo would not go out of her way to watch other bands' performances, and would probably stay at home most of the time.

"I'm here to see Xia's band perform, too."

"Huh?" Shiina Riki was stunned when he heard the name. "Sankaku-san has a new band?"

Seeing that she was also surprised, Nagasaki Suyo breathed a sigh of relief.

(So ​​I wasn't the only one being kept in the dark.)

"Well, Xiao Mu and Xia have formed a new band. The other two are strangers." He pointed at the four figures on the stage. "Xia should be on stage by now. He's the lead singer."

Before he finished speaking, the spotlight on the stage suddenly lit up, shrouding the four members of [Personaction] in a silvery-white halo. Sanjiao Chuxia stood in front of the microphone, her hair slightly damp with sweat.

"We are [Personaction]."

He paused for a moment. The atmosphere in the audience was not aroused and they were still immersed in the emotion of "Returns".

But this is exactly the effect that Sanjiao Chuxia wants.

(I was originally worried that "Moonlight Cocoon" would be too awkward after the cheerful style of "Popipa", but now it seems to be just right.)

"Next, please listen to "Moonlight Cocoon." His voice echoed in the venue through the speakers.

The stage lights dimmed, leaving only a single silver spotlight on Sanjiao Chuxia. He took a deep breath and gently plucked the strings with his fingertips.

Yawata Kairin's bass played first, a deep prelude spreading like the night. As Kaname Rakuna's guitar joined in, Wakaba Mutsu's fingertips danced across the keyboard, bringing out a beautiful melody.

"between the locked windows"

The leaked shadow is whispering (zero shadow が嗫く)

......"

The moment the song started, the chatter in the audience stopped abruptly.

The beautiful melody, coupled with the somewhat sad and desolate lyrics, stirred the audience's emotions. The tears that had just been wiped away after listening to "Returns" showed signs of flowing again.

But unlike the previous "touching" parts, the first half of "Moonlight Cocoon" makes people feel deeply helpless and sad.

After finishing the first half, the three of them stopped playing at the same time, leaving only Wakaba Mutsuki playing the melody of "Moonlight" on the keyboard.

After the keyboard solo ended, Kaname Rakuna's guitar burst into a sharp distorted sound, and Yawata Kairin's bass steadily supported the entire melody.

From then on, the main theme of "Moonlight Cocoon" shifts from sadness to hope.

Shiina Riki's fingers unconsciously clenched the phone case.

On the stage, Wakaba Mu's keyboard music gradually transformed into bright variations, and her light green hair swayed slightly with the music. The girl who was always quiet at Crychic now looked so dazzling under the spotlight.

It's like... being saved.

"Mu Ta, when did you learn to play the keyboard?"

Nagasaki Suyo didn't answer. Her eyes were fixed on Sankaku Hatsuka's hand as it reached out to Wakaba Mu, her nails digging into her palm without her noticing.

Amidst the changing lights and shadows on the stage, she vaguely saw the figure of another blue-haired girl—

Toyokawa Shoko did the same, reaching out to them under the spotlight.

(No, I can’t think about that anymore, [Crychic] is over!)

Sankaku Hatsuka's voice suddenly rose, and Kaname Rakuna's guitar erupted with brilliant overtones. Hachiman Kairin hadn't noticed when she arrived at the front of the stage, her bass pounding like a heartbeat.

Suddenly, a scream broke out from somewhere in the audience: "Lady Hailing! It's Lady Hailing!" - it seemed to be fans of the band she had supported before.

Nagasaki Suyo lowered her head, tears dripping onto her clenched hands. Shiina Riki opened her mouth, but ultimately just silently handed her a tissue.

"Moonlight Cocoon" finally ends with a calm but hopeful ending.

Sanka Hatsuka breathed slightly and looked at his teammates behind him - Kaname Rakuna and Hachiman Kairin had excited and happy smiles on their faces, and Wakaba Mutsu was looking at him, his light golden eyes shining under the stage lights.

It's time.

Thinking of this, he walked to the edge of the stage in front of the three people and the audience, and took the pink guitar from a purple-haired female passerby.

"Thanks to Meow Meng for his help~" Yutenji Wakamu, who was asked to be his assistant in advance, winked at him.

Sanjiao Hatsuka nodded at her, then turned and walked towards Wakaba Mu and handed the guitar to her: "Little Cucumber, the next song is "Black Cage", it's time to use your real instrument."

Seeing such a "rock and roll" scene, the audience in the audience suddenly cheered excitedly.

"Eh?"

Ruoye Mu looked at the familiar guitar in front of her, and her outstretched hand trembled slightly. She realized why the other party had come all the way to get her guitar.

"Seeing that I've played it so many times, you should be able to play it by now, so let me concentrate on singing this time."

Asahi Rikka: It’s great to be able to perform [Personaction] in the order of the set list QWQ

ps: Because ag is participating in the performance, I assumed that Lixi will come to watch the performance (

ps2: The second volume will be finished tomorrow!

To be honest, I lost a lot of subscriptions. I don’t know if it’s because of poor writing or because I’m writing the old group’s animation plot... The next volume will write about the plot of RAS and mygo members, and it seems that it still can’t reach the first grade.

ps2: I will write a chapter about Chuhua’s victory later (as the winning heroine of this volume)

Chapter 185 Because... It's Xia's Performance

"Seeing that I've played it so many times, you should be able to play it by now, so let me concentrate on singing this time."

Wakaba Mutsu took the guitar and gently touched the strings with his fingertips, feeling a familiar touch. The cheers of the audience below seemed to be separated by a layer of frosted glass, becoming blurry and distant.

She looked up at Sanjiao Chuxia, and there was a hint of smile in the other's violet eyes.

"I……"

"Next song, aren't we going to start yet?" Yao Le Nai urged.

Hachiman Kailing suddenly plucked the strings of the zither, emitting a deep chorus: "Wakaba-san, hurry up and get ready."

"It doesn't matter if we don't have a keyboard." Sanjiao Chuxia returned to the microphone and smiled confidently, "We will cover up all the problems."

Wakaba Mu's fingers suddenly tightened, and the strings hummed softly. She took a deep breath, quickly plugged in the guitar, and deftly slid the strap over her shoulder.

"Preparation is complete."

"3, 2, 1..."

The countdown to Triangle Hatsuka came through the monitor headphones. Kaname Rakuna's pick slid across the strings, and Hachiman Kairin's bass was as steady as a heartbeat. Wakaba Mutsu closed his eyes, his fingertips automatically finding their place.

The moment the prelude sounded, her fingertips danced quickly——

Unwilling to be just a rhythm guitarist, Ruo Yemu wanted to fill in the gaps left by the keyboard. This was a song she composed, and no one knew how to play it better than she did.

"The twisted moon laughs at me"

Fallen wings, you are so beautiful (fallen wings, you are so beautiful)

......"

As the song sounded, Asahi Rikka controlled the lights to slowly dim, leaving only a not-so-bright spotlight illuminating the figure of Sanjiao Hatsuka.
