After Boqi moved into my closet, the quiet life is gone forever

Only Chaoyang and the newly awakened Pochi understood what it meant.

"Pochi, would you like something to eat?"

Chaoyang asked softly first.

Then he immediately whispered in her ear affectionately.

"...You've behaved well today, have fun! Don't worry about staying at my house when the last bus arrives."

"Ah...I didn't show it..."

He wanted to say something modest, but the expression on Pochi's face was already clear and he couldn't hold it in any longer.

"Your strength today has already conquered everyone. Let me tell you a secret, Pochi-chan, your badge is the most sold!"

[After all, Hongxia's sister took five of your tickets alone...]

Chaoyang was complaining in his heart,

"Your strength has been recognized by everyone, and I know this is just the tip of the iceberg. You will reveal more in the future. You are now a Level 99 hero in the game."

"Hey hey hey ~ I, I'm not that great."

And Yuyuko Otsuki, who was sitting at the corner of the table and was invited by Chaoyang to attend the celebration party, felt like an outsider at the moment. She didn't have a good relationship with the band, and the sister she liked was pestering someone else's sister.

He glanced at Chaoyang, who was patting Pochi's head and praising him non-stop, and his cheeks suddenly puffed up, looking unhappy.

"What? It's pretty good, but it's nowhere near as good as my SIDEROS. I'll show you my performance later. ...Will I be treated like Goto?"

"Come to think of it, Hongxia said that Pochi and you lived together? What tricks did you use?..."

After comforting Hiroi Kikuri, Ijichi Hoshige looked at Chaoyang with an unhappy face, as if her vegetable garden was being fed by pigs.

"Well...it's nothing, actually. Pochi was a bit of a jerk for a while, ran away from home, and I took him in."

Chaoyang looked absent-minded.

He spoke in a calm and relaxed manner.

"Is that so, Pochi-chan?"

Ichichi Xingge turned around and asked.

"Ah... th-th-th-th-that... uh... yes, yes."

The moment Pochi was asked the question, he became flustered and stammered as if he was afraid that others would not know that Chaoyang was lying.

"You little brat, you didn't resort to some despicable means, did you?"

Seeing Pochi's reaction, under the influence of alcohol, Ijichi Xingge immediately reached over the table and grabbed Chaoyang's collar.

"Whoa, sister! Stop making trouble here!"

"Ahahahaha, come on, senior, give Chaoyang something nice to look at!"

Hiroi Kikuri was enjoying the excitement, treating the scene before her as a snack. She gulped down her draft beer and called for another one.

157. I’m feeling a bit irritated!!!

The excitement died down and everyone started chatting and eating quietly.

Before I knew it, Yukino and Pochi were already sitting together.

Yukino is just like her mother. If Pochi is a little messy after eating, she will pick up a wet wipe to help her clean it up.

“What a harmony~~”

On the other side, Liang started teasing Kita's name as usual.

"Yudai~~~"

"Senior, please don't be like this, o(╥﹏╥)o I want to change my name to Kita Kita."

Chaoyang felt the urge to urinate and walked over, reminding him casually.

"Ryo, don't make fun of Kita's name. Kita is pretty pitiful."

After saying that, he got off the tatami, put on his shoes and went to the bathroom.

……

"Huh, so comfortable and satisfied,"

After coming out of the bathroom and just about to return to my seat, I saw that Hongxia was gone.

【Well, let’s chat with the Archangel. 】

After thinking about it, he turned and walked out of the store.

As expected, Hong Xia was looking up at the night sky alone. Under the soft moonlight, an angel-like girl was bathing in the moonlight.

If you listen carefully, you can hear her humming a song quite happily.

Chaoyang felt reluctant to break this scene. He felt that if he took another step, the picturesque world would be broken by him. He thought it would be better to leave it to Pochi to trigger the plot.

【Let’s go back】

Chaoyang slowly turned around, intending to leave.

"Chaoyang...I noticed you when I came out~"

Since Hongxia took the initiative to talk to Chaoyang, he put down his hand that was stuck in the door groove and walked to Hongxia.

"I'm sorry to bother you."

Hongxia continued to look up at the night sky, and Chaoyang followed her gaze to look at the stars.

As the night deepens, the city lights fade away, making the stars more visible.

"Well~~ Not completely. It's better to say that I only feel gratitude towards you, Chaoyang."

"?"

"Even though I'm the captain of this band, I feel like you might actually be the real captain. You paid for all those towels and other merchandise yourself, didn't you? I know better than you how dire the financial situation would be if the band ended. And Kita... and Yukinoshita-san were both recruited by you, and Pochi is also closely related to you."

"No, there's no such thing as a true captain. The only captain in the past and present is that girl named Ijichi Hongka. Even without me, the band will continue to develop like this, participating in competitions, getting signed, and releasing records. Every performance is sold out."

Hongxia looked at Chaoyang's profile with a look of relief.

"...Thank you. I'm so happy to be recognized by you. I feel like I've become quite remarkable. ...Speaking of which, I noticed something during the performance. Pochi-chan...she...is actually that Guitar Hero, right? That playing style, now that I think about it, is exactly the same guitar and that tracksuit as Guitar Hero. I'm really stupid for noticing it until now."

"Yeah... yes, but I hope you don't tell anyone. Pochi doesn't want the attention to be focused on herself after the band ends, as that would be tantamount to ignoring the efforts of others. She wants to wait until the band becomes more famous and her personality improves before she tells everyone."

"Is that so? ...I'm so grateful to Pochi-chan...Even with that personality, you're so gentle and reliable. ...Hey, Chaoyang, do you know my dream?"

"...I know... I know everything about you and the manager. From what Kikuri-san learned about the manager, and what Ryo revealed, to why the manager opened a livehouse and named it STARRY."

At this time, Hongxia lowered her head, looked up at Chaoyang with a cute devilish smile.

"Really? Bragging will lower my favorability, you know?"

"Manager, you gave up your dream of being in a band in order to take care of young Hong Xia, right?"

"...Haha... You're quite perceptive... Girls will be disgusted by you if you act like this."

"I'm sorry, that might not be accurate. The manager's dream has changed. If your dream, Hongxia, is to become a super band that can fulfill the manager's previous dream, then the manager dreams of making this live house a place where bands perform, and the light they radiate can reach where your mother is."

"..."

Hongxia listened to Chaoyang's words and began to cry unconsciously.

"How could he know... Is there true telepathy in this world? My sister couldn't possibly tell him this. Even Ryo doesn't know the true meaning of STARRY."

Chaoyang took out a handkerchief and handed it over.

“There’s no need to cry on happy days.”

"No... I just didn't expect someone to be able to see into my heart. I'm thinking about calling the police to have you arrested."

After wiping away her tears, Hongxia sighed with a hint of melancholy.

Chaoyang scratched his head and spoke

"Please show mercy."

"What crime would be better?"

"Then sentence her to death by being embraced by Hong Xia."

"bump!"

Hongxia suddenly rushed over and wrapped her arms around Chaoyang tightly.

With her head buried in Chaoyang's chest, her body trembled slightly.

Chaoyang was a little at a loss for a moment, but soon he gently placed his hand on Hongxia's back and patted her lightly.

"I'll misunderstand you if you do that."

Hong Xia in his arms was blushing at this moment.

"Then please don't misunderstand me... Thank you, I'm just returning your gratitude. I don't like scumbags."

……

The celebration party ended successfully. Originally, Pochi was going to stay at Chaoyang's house, but was stopped by the drunk Ijichi Xingge after finding out.

In the end, helplessly, Ijichi Hoshika carried Hiroi Kikuri, while Nijixia took Pochi back to her home.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt you, but it's hard to disobey my sister now that she's like this."

"Pochi~~ I'll make it for you when we get back~"

"Sister! We just ate!"

The four disappeared into the street amid the noise of the two drunks.

"Well, I'll be going back too. Be careful on your journey, Senior~~, Ms. Yukinoshita, and Chaoyang too~"

Kita remained energetic, waving his hands and saying goodbye to everyone.

Liang simply nodded in greeting and left.

"There are only two left~ It's a pity that Pochi is not here, otherwise we would have planned to spend the night together as a group of three."

"Humph……"

Yukino smoothed her hair, and whenever the breeze blew, her long hair fluttered. If Hongxia was an angel under the moonlight before, then Yukinoshita was a fairy at this moment.

This time, Chaoyang took the initiative to hold Xueno's waist without hesitation.

"You...drank?"

"No... I just got a little excited unexpectedly, so I might be a little bolder than I thought."

Even as he said this, Chaoyang's heart beat faster and faster, almost jumping out of his chest.

The next moment, Yukino was blocked by lips that smelled strongly of alcohol.

Yukino's consciousness went almost blank for a moment.

The white and tender hands pushed weakly against Chaoyang's chest.

After separation

"Isn't this drinking?"

"Have you drunk it? Maybe you made a mistake and ended up drinking a lemon cocktail. Let's go back..."

After that, the two of them hailed a taxi and drove to their apartment...
