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

Yawata Kairin was silent, as if surprised by Sanka Hatsuka's answer. She lowered her head and tapped the bottle with her fingers, making a soft "dong dong" sound.

"Just like our performance just now, although it was just a temporary collaboration, the lead singer was able to convey her expectations for the future to everyone very well, and that was enough."

"I quite like the way you put it."

She looked into Sanjiao Hatsuka's eyes and smiled softly.

"But speaking of the band..." He suddenly spoke, with a hint of tentativeness in his tone, "Hai Ling, are you willing to form a band with me?"

"Eh?"

Hachiman Kailing was slightly stunned, obviously not expecting Sanka Hatsuka to bring up this matter at this time.

“I mentioned it before on Line. Once my band is done, I’ll come find Hailing to form a brother band.”[1]

"Are you sure? I have ten bands that employ me, so I might miss practice occasionally."

"I know. But with Hai Ling's ability, it won't affect the performance if she doesn't come to practice with us a few times. Oh, you still have to come on the day of the performance."

Hachiman Kailing turned her head and looked straight at him, with a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.

"Do you trust me so much?" she asked softly.

"Of course." Sanjiao Chuxia nodded without hesitation. "Your bass is the best I've ever seen, and I like your style of playing."

She was silent for a moment, then sighed softly.

"You really are... irresistible."

Hachiman Kailing's tone was somewhat helpless, but the corners of her mouth rose slightly.

"So, Hailing, you agreed?"

"Yes. As long as you can tolerate my personality."

A bright smile instantly broke out on Sanjiao Hatsuxia's face.

"Yada thief! Then we're teammates from now on!"

"But don't be too happy too soon," she said calmly. "Starting a band isn't just about enthusiasm. We need to find the right members and make a detailed plan."

Although he didn't seem like the type of person who would be reckless or out of line, Hachiman Kailing still deliberately poured a bucket of cold water on him just in case.

At this time, Sanjiao Chuxia seemed to have thought of something.

"As for members, there should be one more person reserved. He's a very good guitarist and is definitely worthy of your bass, Hailing."

He was naturally talking about [RiNG]'s wild cat - Kaname Lenai.

Kaname Rakuna had been pestering him to form a band for a long time, but he had not agreed before because of consideration for the feelings of Crychic and Nagasaki Suyo.

Now that everything is over, it is natural to bring the other person along to form a band together.

"Is there another guitarist? So, Chuxia, have you decided to play the lead guitar?"

"sodayo."

"Would you like me to contact two skilled people for the remaining positions?"

"No need. For now, the three of us are enough for the band." Sanjiao Chuxia shook her head. "I came to you because I didn't want to form a band with people I don't know. I don't want to compromise on the members."

Hearing his words, Hachiman Kailing sighed slightly.

"Okay then, I respect your choice. But I want to meet that guitarist you mentioned and see if he's really as good as you say."

"Of course. If I'm lucky, I'll be able to see little Lenai tomorrow."

“Why does it depend on luck?”

"You'll find out when you come to [RiNG] after school tomorrow."

She didn't ask any more questions, just said "hmm" softly, then stood up and walked to the window.

The sky outside the window has gradually darkened, and the city lights are twinkling in the distance, like countless stars falling to the ground.

"Chuxia, have you ever thought about the name of the band?" Hachiman Kailing suddenly spoke.

"Name? I haven't thought about that yet. After all, I even decided to form a band today on a whim. But since it's three of us forming a band together, of course the name should be decided by us all together."

"That's true. But I probably can't help with things like naming."

"Don't say that. Maybe Hailing, you'll have a flash of inspiration when you go home today and suddenly come up with a great name."

Hachiman Kailing didn't respond, but simply shook her head gently, her gaze returning to the night view outside the window. A gentle night breeze blew, bringing a hint of coolness.

"It's getting late, Hailing. I'll go back first."

"Well, be careful on the road."

Sanjiao Chuxia stood up, put his guitar on his back, and walked towards the door.

Watching his back gradually disappear at the end of the corridor, the lounge returned to silence, leaving only the sound of the wind outside the window and the hustle and bustle of the city.

"Band?... We can't do that again this time..."

Hachiman Kailing turned and walked to the sofa, picked up her bass and walked out the door.

Chapter 98 is formed!

The next day.

Sankaku Hatsuka and Yawata Kairin walked into [RiNG] and were greeted by the familiar musical atmosphere and the faint aroma of coffee and black tea.

The waitress on duty wasn't Rinrinko, but a girl with brown hair tied in a ponytail. Although it was supposed to be their first meeting, Sankaku Hatsuka felt she looked familiar.

"Welcome, are you two?"

"Ah."

"Then sit here."

The two followed the waiter's instructions and walked to an empty seat in the store and sat down.

The waiter handed them the menus and asked, "What would you like to order?"

Sanjiao Chuxia didn't open the book, but just looked at Yawata Kailing who was sitting opposite her.

"Hai Ling, what would you like to drink?"

She glanced down at the menu, her tone calm.

"An iced Americano, please."

Sanjiao Hatsuxia nodded, then said to the waiter, "Then I'd like a latte and two matcha parfaits."

"OK, just a second."

The waiter took the order and then turned and left.

"You had two cups? Won't you have a stomachache?" Hachiman Kailing looked at him with a strange look.

"How is that possible? There's another cup for little Lenai."

"Little Lenai is the guitarist you were talking about, right?"

"Yeah." Sanjiao Hatsuxia nodded and checked the time. "It should be almost time. Little Lenai comes to [RiNG] to play guitar at this time every day."

Just as he said, not long after, a white-haired girl pulling a cart walked into [RiNG], as if she knew in advance that Sanjiao Chuxia was here, and walked straight towards them.

Kaname Rakuna ignored Hachiman Kailing opposite her, parked the car aside, sat down on the seat next to Sankaku Hatsuka, and gently tugged at his sleeve.

"Xiao Xia, Matcha Buffy."

"The order has been made. The waitress will bring it over in a while. Please sit here and wait, little Lenai."

"Ah."

She nodded obediently.

Sankaku Hatsuka smiled and rubbed Kaname Lenai's little head, then took out a matcha candy from his pocket, opened the package and fed it to her.

Looking at his skillful movements, Hachiman Kailing had the illusion that he was feeding cats in a cat cafe.

It's indeed similar. Both of them spend money to buy things from the cat's home to feed the cat.

"Hai Ling, don't look at little Lenai's age, he's quite skilled at guitar."

"No, I didn't mean to ask that."

Sanka Hatsuka gestured to Kaname Lenai and said to Hachiman Kailing, "Little Lenai, let me introduce you. She's Hachiman Kailing, a bassist."

Kaname Rakuna looked up and down Hachiman Kailing with her mysterious heterochromatic eyes, then turned her head and looked at him expectantly.

"Xiao Xia, are you forming a band?"

As sharp as ever.

But this time, Sankaku Hatsuka didn't give a negative answer. He nodded and met Kaname Rakuna's gaze very seriously.

"Yeah, so I wanted to ask Lenai-chan if she wants to join us in a band?"

"I want to play." She agreed very decisively.

Hearing Kaname Rakuna's answer, Sanka Hatsuka showed a satisfied smile on her face.

"Okay, so from today on, the three of us are members of the same band... By the way, can it be considered a complete band without a drummer?"

He felt that the configuration of only two guitarists and one bassist was a bit too abstract. At least he had never seen such a band perform on stage.

If it really doesn't work, Sankaku Hatsuka thought of just asking Shiina Riki to be the drummer. The other party can be considered a "good buddy" and is just right for the brother band he envisioned.

As for Team Member Kaname, she is a cat.

“Without a drummer, the performance will lack some rhythm, but if you’re not aiming for a career, it won’t have much of an impact.”

Although Hachiman Kairin is not sure about Rakuna's guitar skills for the time being, the vocal ability of Sankaku Hatsuka alone is enough to cover up this small flaw.

"Really? Then there's no problem."

"What about the name of the band? Chuxia, have you thought of it yet?"

He shook his head.

"Not yet. I was planning to discuss this with you today. I just don't feel comfortable deciding this kind of thing on my own. Lenai-chan, do you have any suggestions?"

"Ok?"

Being asked this question suddenly, Kaname Rakuna looked at Sanka Hatsuka with a confused look on her face.

"Little Lenai, just say a few words and I'll see if I can use them."

"Hmm...cats, matcha parfait, soba noodles, guitar. That's all."

"Very much like Lenai-chan's style." He smiled and silently memorized these words. "What about you, Hailing?"

"I want one too?" Hachiman Kailing pointed at herself with a little surprise.

"Of course, we're a band, aren't we?"

"Okay, let me think about it."

She held her chin with one hand and tried to search her mind for a few words that might be used in the band name.

"Panna cotta, ginger ale, and mercenaries."

Otherwise, we shouldn’t have chosen this band name.

Thinking about these seven completely unrelated words, Sanjiao Chuxia decided to take charge of the naming.

He took out the pen and paper he had prepared in advance from his pocket, wrote a string of English words on it, and also marked it with katakana.

“Then let’s call our band PersonAction (ペルソナクション), which means ‘camouflage action’.”[1]

"What does this have to do with our band? And I do know about the P series." Hachiman Kailing complained.
