(Does CHU2 give every temporary guitarist an English name?)
This question didn't last long, and CHU2 answered it.
"I saw you in someone else's video before. I think you're a semi-public figure, right?" She leaned back in her chair, adjusting the sound console as she spoke. "You have your own band now. Calling yourself 'Vega' will prevent you from being recognized, thus avoiding any possible bad effects."
Hearing this, Sanjiao Chuxia was slightly startled, then revealed a gentle smile. The light fell on his long eyelashes, casting fine shadows on his cheeks.
"Thank you, CHU2," he said softly, "for being so considerate of me."
"I'm not doing this specifically for you. Go practice! If you mess up tomorrow, it won't be as easy as last time!"
Seeing this scene, Pareo covered his mouth and laughed secretly. After being glared at by CHU2, he immediately pretended to debug the keyboard seriously.
Sanjiao Hatsuxia smiled and shook her head, picked up her guitar and walked towards the practice area.
"Pareo, please help me."
"Leave it to me~"
When CHU2 controlled the accompaniment of several other instruments, Pareo's nimble fingers danced on the keyboard, playing crisp chords.
As the metronome ticked, the performance area was soon filled with passionate melodies.
At two in the morning, the seventh full rehearsal ended. Sanjiao Chuxia's fingertips were already red from being worn, but she was finally able to play the entire piece perfectly.
However, this long and intensive rehearsal was a little too much for him to bear, even with his physical fitness which had improved inexplicably recently.
"Hey, Vega." The petite producer suddenly spoke up, handing over a thermos cup. "Drink it."
Triangle Chuxia unscrewed the lid doubtfully, and a sweet aroma hit her face.
"Hot cocoa?"
"Replenish your energy so you don't hit the wrong notes during the final rehearsal."
After saying that, CHU2 couldn't help but yawn and looked like he couldn't hold on any longer.
"CHU2-sama~" Pareo suddenly hugged the pink-haired girl from behind, "Where's my hot cocoa?"
Her voice was as energetic as before, as if she didn't feel tired at all.
"Go pour it yourself!"
CHU2 struggled to push Pareo away, but heard Sanjiao Chuxia chuckle and immediately got furious: "What are you laughing at! If this last rehearsal goes wrong, you won't be able to sleep!"
………………
The last rehearsal was over, and Sanjiao Chuxia's performance was perfect. Apart from the fact that his guitar sounded less sharp than usual due to fatigue, there were no mistakes.
He put down his guitar and found that CHU2, who was sitting in front of the sound console, had curled up in a chair and fallen asleep. His small body rose and fell gently with his breathing, and his headphones were hung diagonally around his neck.
After hearing the perfect performance of the first half by the two, she subconsciously relaxed and accidentally fell asleep.
"CHU2-sama is asleep~" Pareo took off her cat-ear headphones carefully, his movements so skillful as if he had done it countless times.
She placed the headphones on the table, then turned to Mikado Hatsuka and put her index finger to her lips: "Let's keep our voices down, Vega-san."
Sanjiao Hatsuxia nodded, not caring why Pareo suddenly called him "Vega".
Then the next moment, Pareo suddenly started to untie her twintails.
Before Sanjiao Chuxia could ask, she took off her pink and blue wig, revealing her smooth black hair underneath.
Then, she took out a pair of black glasses from her bag and put them on, and her whole temperament instantly changed from "lively idol" to "quiet and excellent student".
"Pareo, you..."
"What's wrong, are you surprised, Vega-san?" Nihara ordered Wang Na to tie her hair into two ponytails again.
"Ah, indeed."
(The contrast between before and after is too great, just like switching forms...)
Although it was roughly guessed that Niohara Reiou changed her hair color at any time according to the occasion by wearing a wig, Sanjiao Hatsuxia did not expect that she would be so different from her "Pareo" form when she was not wearing a wig.
Seeing King Niuyuan Lingwang in such a state, Sanjiao Chuxia estimated that she would not be able to recognize him even if she passed him face to face on the street.
"Because I have to go home now, I can't maintain the 'Pareo' look anymore."
………………
[1] “Vega” is translated as “Vega”, one of the brightest stars in the Summer Triangle, and has a similar pronunciation to “UIKA”.
(When I first came up with it, I just followed the pronunciation, but I didn’t expect it to fit so well, with both stars and triangles ())
ps: I almost forgot to let the kitten fart, my English is too poor (
ps2: Pareo's black hair and red eyes are just called by their original name (
Chapter 233 Pareo: Do you have a girlfriend?
"Because I have to go home now, I can't maintain the 'Pareo' look anymore."
He didn't know if it was Sanjiao Chuxia's illusion, but he felt that after switching forms, Niyuan Lingwang's voice became much more restrained.
"Are you also a double personality?"
Originally, Sanjiao Chuxia would not have thought about it in this way, but now with the precedent of Ruoye Mu, he had to consider this possibility.
After hearing his words, King Niuyuan was stunned at first, and then he burst out laughing.
"Why would you think that, Vega-san?" She adjusted her slightly crooked glasses. "It's just that it's better not to dress like this when you go home."
Sanjiao Hatsuka nodded thoughtfully and watched her walk out of the practice room. When she came back, she had changed into an ordinary student uniform.
Niyuan Ling Wangna carefully packed up his equipment, glanced at the sleeping CHU2, and picked up his bag of clothes.
"Then I'll go home first. See you tomorrow morning, Vega-san."
"...Let me take you home at this time." He said suddenly.
"No, I often..."
"Don't make excuses." Sanjiao Chuxia interrupted her, "It's so late, I don't feel comfortable letting you, a girl, go home alone."
"Vega-san is as gentle as he looks." Niohara Lingwang said in a low voice without refusing.
After confirming that CHU2 was sleeping peacefully in the chair and there would be no problems, the two took the elevator downstairs.
At three in the morning, the streets were shrouded in a thin layer of mist, the streetlights casting a hazy glow through the mist, like yellow paint smudged by watercolor. Occasionally, the night breeze blew, picking up a few fallen leaves and making a soft rustling sound.
The unique heat of summer disappeared at this moment, and the whole city seemed to be paused. Even the lights of the 24-hour convenience store not far away seemed particularly lonely.
"Pareo, what are you taking... Oh, yes, both the subway and the tram are out of service at this time."
As she spoke, Sanjiao Chuxia took out her phone and asked, "Where is your home? Can I take a taxi to take you back?"
"...Chiba Kamogawa."
"???"
Hearing this, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"You live in Chiba!?"
"Yeah." Niuyuan Ling Wang nodded, "What's wrong?"
Seeing her matter-of-fact expression, Sanjiao Chuxia couldn't help but ask, "Pareo, do you have to come here every day?"
"Yeah, I have to practice with everyone from [RAS], so I'm coming here straight after school."
"You mean every afternoon after school, you have to take the train or subway from Chiba to Tokyo for training, and then go back in the evening?"
After saying this, he rubbed his temples.
You know, the one-way trip between the two places takes at least two hours, and the round trip is four hours, and the Prince of Niuyuan is only a junior high school student...
"It's okay, I'm used to it." She briefly regained her lively 'Pareo' form and winked at Sanjiao Hatsuka. "As long as I can see Master CHU2, sitting for just two hours is nothing!"
"You are really...loyal to CHU2..."
He thought back to Pareo's usual appearance, and after much thought, he felt that this adjective best suited her.
(But the fare must be very expensive for such a long distance.)
Thinking this way, Sanka Hatsuka entered the starting point and destination into the taxi app, which showed "estimated fare: 25500 yen." Her finger hovered over the confirmation button, trembling slightly. [1]
As if noticing that someone had suddenly stopped talking, Niuyuan Ling Wang came over to take a look at the screen and was also shocked by the numbers on it.
After a moment, she waved her hands hurriedly: "Too, too expensive! I'll just wait for the first train!"
"No." He took a deep breath and pressed OK. "It's unreasonable to ask you to wait at the station until dawn. Besides, you have a performance in the afternoon. It will be too late to rest if you go back then."
"……Thanks."
Sanjiao Chuxia actually didn't need the money, but he had always been frugal, so he was a little uncomfortable with spending so much money on a bus ride.
The taxi slowly approached in the night. He opened the door and motioned for Niohara and Wang Na to get in first. The girl hesitated for a moment, but finally got into the back seat.
There was a moment of silence in the car.
The driver glanced at the strange pair through the rearview mirror - the tired teenager and the junior high school girl in uniform. He tactfully did not ask any more questions and just silently adjusted the air-conditioning temperature.
"Vega-san..." Nihara Ling Wang suddenly asked, "Do you have a girlfriend?"
"Ahem!" Sanjiao Chuxia almost choked on her own saliva. "Why are you asking this suddenly?"
(How did this topic suddenly appear here!?)
"Well... because Vega-san is as good-looking as an idol and has a gentle personality, he should have no shortage of female friends."
Although he still didn't quite understand the intention of King Niuyuan Lingwang in asking this question, he still nodded honestly.
"Well, I already have a girlfriend."
"Is it Wakaba-san?"
"...Yes, Cucumber is my girlfriend."
"That's good..." She patted her chest as if relieved, "This way we don't have to worry about CHU2-sama being snatched away by Vega-san."
"..."
Sanjiao Chuxia didn't know how to answer for a moment.
He looked out the window at the rapidly receding street scene and changed the subject, "By the way, Pareo, how long have you known CHU2?"
When CHU2 was mentioned, Niohara Rei Wangna's eyes lit up instantly.
"It started last summer! That's when CHU2-sama found me, invited me to join the RAS, and gave me the codename 'Pareo'..."
Her voice gradually became lively like "Pareo" and she gestured with her hands.
In fact, from Sanjiao Hatsuka's perspective, he felt that CHU2 was simply attracted to Pareo's electronic piano skills.
However, after several interactions, he could see that Pareo and CHU2 both valued each other, somewhat like the relationship between himself and Sanjiao Chuhua, which had not yet deteriorated.
As the taxi passed the Tokyo Bay Bridge, the sea level in the distance was slightly white.
It's summer now, and the sun rises much earlier.
………………
[1] 25500 yen ≈ 1750 RMB. I checked the price of Japanese taxis and it’s roughly like this (
P.S.: It's not yuri, it's not yuri, it's not yuri! I'll say it three times because it's important. Pareo here is very grateful and values CHU2 for digging her out and freeing her, so she's a little worried that her important person will be taken away in half.
Chapter 234: Pareo’s “True Face”
As the taxi passed the Tokyo Bay Bridge, the sea level in the distance was slightly white.
It's summer now, and the sun rises much earlier.
"...So I became the keyboardist of [RAS]!" Nihara Reiwa realized he was too excited after saying this. He pushed his glasses up and regained his composure. "Sorry, I was the one doing all the talking..."
"No, it's boring in the car anyway."
(Is Pareo your true nature?)
Thinking back to how she had just talked about her encounter with CHU2, Sanjiao Hatsuka probably understood her "true face".
