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

He took out two of the letters from the city hall and handed them to them.

"Here are your two health insurance cards and individual ID cards. Are you already proud citizens of Saitama Prefecture?"

"Hey?"

Sandwich Sauce was so surprised that he dropped his spoon. Pochi, having been warned, simply took it, opened the envelope and began to read.

"What use does this have for me, the devil?"

"It's for identification. You might be here for a long time, so I used my personal connections to get this done for you."

"Huh? If you're capable of this, why don't you let me live in this shabby place?"

Chaoyang found a random excuse to deal with it

"I like the cozy atmosphere of this shabby apartment, isn't it? Sandwich sauce, how should I season the snake meat?"

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything more!"

Under Chaoyang's threat, Sandwich finally stopped worrying about this issue.

"There's one more thing I want to ask for your opinions. Considering going to high school... Let's assume your IDs all indicate you're 15 years old. I've considered letting you go to high school in this world, Pochi-chan, but it wasn't possible back then because you were an illegal immigrant. As for Sandwich-chan, I'm just asking about it. It seems like you're just sitting around at home doing nothing and not working."

"I'd rather go than go."

Sandwich Sauce immediately responded rudely, which of course did not surprise Chaoyang.

"Pochi, what about you? I'm not forcing you, I'm just asking."

After hearing that, Pochi put down the spoon and twirled his fingers with his hands.

"What should I do? I don't want to go to school... Seeing the plot in the anime, even after I went to high school, I still couldn't make friends for several months, until I met Nijiga-chan in the park. In this world, it's not necessarily the same. I'd better not go."

"..."

Pochi wanted to refuse, but he couldn't bring himself to say it.

Even in the later stages of the comics, Pochi always wanted to drop out of high school and give up her part-time job at STARRY, but it was just a thought and it was too difficult for her to say such words to people in person.

"Pochi-chan, you're already so far ahead of where you were in the story. Back then, you didn't have any friends, but now you have me and Sandwich-chan as your friends. Why don't you consider making some friends in this world? There are so many lonely people in the world who are afraid to take the first step, but you've already taken the first step, haven't you?"

Bochi lowered his head and recalled his experience of finding a band online and successfully joining it.

[Yes, this time I found the band on my own, instead of relying on Nijigasaki to approach me like in the story. I, I have changed!]

"I...I want to go to school!"

"...pink-haired..."

Sandwich looked at Pochi who was shouting with all his might, wondering what he was thinking.

"Hey, if you don't like high school, can you not go?"

"Hmm? I'm not your parent, nor your guardian. I'm just your cohabitant and friend. I'm there to help you, and that's all. So I won't stop you from making any choices. I might just express my opinions sometimes."

"Hmph, then I'll just go to the high school and have a look~~ Maybe I can develop some followers for myself, hahahaha. Let me go to the high school with the pink-haired guy. The pink-haired guy should be my servant. I will remember to run errands for me to buy fried noodles, bread and milk every day at noon~~"

Hearing this, Pochi was still scared and raised his hand weakly again and said

"Ah...um...I, I'd better not go..."

17. Track Pochi-chan!

Time naturally came to Saturday, the day for Bochi and the group he had just joined to practice.

"Is everything ready?"

Chaoyang said to Pochi, who was standing at the door with a guitar on his back and various equipment in his hands, wearing casual clothes and a baseball cap.

"Everything is ready!"

"Well, be careful on the road."

"Yes! I, I'm going out!"

Pochi turned around and bowed before going out again after a long absence. Chaoyang was afraid that she would be recognized as Goto Ichiri, so she dressed casually. Although she still looked very similar, ordinary people rarely had the opportunity to stare at her face.

Is the sun really this bright? I haven't been outside in ages, I'm not used to it. If only Chaoyang could go with me... Ah, no, no, how can I become dependent on others so quickly?

Pochi patted his cheeks twice and walked towards the station with high spirits.

"call……"

Chaoyang waited in the house for about 2 minutes and then went out.

Although Pochi had asked him to go with them, it would be awkward for him to go alone during the band's internal practice. So he decisively declined. However, he was still a little worried, so he decided to follow behind secretly to make sure everything was safe.

Watching Pochi walking up the uphill road slowly, Chaoyang secretly checked from behind a telephone pole not far away.

"Moshi Moshi, police officer, there's a stalker here. He has black hair, is 1 meters tall, and is Chinese."

A familiar, mean voice came from behind Chaoyang.

"……pinch"

Chaoyang walked over, grabbed Sandwich Sauce's chin, and lifted it above his head.

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, let go, idiot."

Chaoyang was rarely obedient and let go immediately.

"Why are you following me when you're not here with me?"

"I should be the one saying this! What's the purpose of following that pink-haired girl? You pervert! A stalker! A freak!"

Chaoyang was too lazy to talk to her outside, he just held her hand to avoid being discovered by Pochi.

"I'm just worried about her, so I'm following her just in case. Since you're here, come along. Just be quiet so she doesn't find out."

"Hey, hey, give me money and I'll go play pellet games."

"...I know there's a game shop in Tokyo that sells snake meat. How about we go there and sell some snake meat to earn money for your steel ball shooting?"

"Uh...yes, sorry, I'd better follow the pink-haired guy."

……

Inside a cafe near Shimokitazawa Station

"Isn't that girl Ayaka-chan here yet?"

"Don't worry, it's not the agreed time yet. If she's late, we can just go shopping and have sex with her afterwards. After thinking about it, it's better to find a handsome guy."

"Hey~ Didn't you already book a livehouse? Is it okay to do something like this?"

"Ahaha, it's okay, it's okay. No one's going to the livehouse anyway. That bald boss is just trying to make some money. There's no auditing involved. If the team isn't there by the time the deadline comes, he'll just quit. Anyway, we haven't paid him yet."

"You're going too far~"

"Isn't it normal for me not to pay for not using his facilities? Yami-chan, please don't criticize me~~"

While Pochi's bandmates were happily chatting, Pochi had already arrived about 10 minutes earlier and was hesitating outside the cafe.

I was struggling to figure out how to walk in naturally.

Last time, Chaoyang took me to a coffee shop, but the moment we walked in, everyone's eyes were on me. I was so scared. Plus, I don't know how to order in a trendy place like this. What if the menu was full of coffee names I didn't understand? Wouldn't that be embarrassing? I think Chaoyang should have brought me here. It's almost time, and being late would be terrible. Okay... wait for someone to walk in and then I'll sneak in. Yeah, that's what I'll do!

Pochi began to stand at the door, looking around and waiting for someone to rescue him.

Meanwhile, Sandwich Sauce, who was in the distance, tilted his head and asked in confusion.

"What is this pink-haired guy doing standing there?"

"Hmm... I guess he's afraid to walk in."

"Ahahahaha, do people like this still exist?"

"You're laughing too loudly! Keep it down...Ah, Pochi-chan finally went in."

While trying to stop Sandwich Sauce from laughing, Pochi, who was standing at the door, finally saw the right moment and walked in, looking around the store as quickly as possible in an attempt to find his target.

Finally, I saw Futaba Ayaka, whom I had met before, by the floor-to-ceiling window.

“Ah… then, then, then…”

Pochi wanted to say sorry for keeping you waiting, but now he was standing at the table, too nervous to speak.

"Ah~ Pochi-chan, are you here~~"

Futaba Ayaka changed her previous appearance and became as gentle and amiable as when they first met, a good wife and mother.

"This is Takanuma Ami~ Just call her Ami-chan or Pochi-chan."

"Hello, my name is Goto Shion..."

"Please pinch more directly~"

Pochi also began to introduce himself

This is the pseudonym on Pochi's household registration. If she still uses her real name with her appearance, it would be hard not to associate it with her.

"Come to think of it, I didn't even ask Pochi's name last time~ What a big failure, hehe~~"

As Futaba Ayaka said this, she cutely stuck out her tongue.

"Pochi-chan really looks exactly like Goto Ichiri, right? Why not just change your name to Goto Ichiri~~ Our band will definitely be a big hit, haha."

"Ha ha……"

Pochi didn't know how to answer and could only laugh awkwardly.

"Now that we're all here, let's go rent a music practice room."

Finally, after finishing his coffee, he stood up, took Pochi's hand and walked out together.

[It's my first time holding hands with someone of the same sex... their skin is so smooth. I hate that my hands are starting to sweat. I hope she won't feel disgusted.]

Pochi's heart started beating fast as he was being led away.

"Oh, there's a shop called Obsounds over there that's pretty cheap. They have three rooms and the price for an hour is around 1600 yuan. Prices have gone up recently and most of them are over 2000 yuan now."

Takanuma Ami pointed in a direction and recommended it to the other two girls.

"Okay, okay, let's go there. Is that okay with Pochi-chan?"

"Ah... no, no!"

Pochi's nervous and loud reply caused the other two to tease him. After they finished laughing, Takanuma Ami led the two to the practice room they had just mentioned.

Chaoyang, who was following behind, watched the three people go away, and Pochi seemed to be getting along well with them, so he planned to go home.

"Let's go Sandwich."

"Hmm? Is that all right?"

"Well, it looks like she should be used to it. The rest is up to her."

"Tsk, are you her mother? You're wasting my time."

"I'm sorry."

Chaoyang nonchalantly apologized to Sandwich Sauce.

"I'm not used to you suddenly apologizing to me so honestly."

"Because it's usually your fault! If I knew it was my fault, I would of course apologize honestly. You see, I've never been angry with Pochi."

"Yes, yes, yes, you're so nagging! If you're so satisfied with the pink-haired girl, why don't you just sleep with her? You're really pretending to be so serious."

As soon as he finished speaking, Sandwich shuddered and looked back to see Chaoyang emitting murderous intent.

Sandwich closed his eyes and prepared to die.

"Hey... let's go have some barbecue. Just as a thank you for accompanying me on the trail."

"Hmm? Changed, changed your temperament?"

There are pictures here, which can be viewed after the updated version

18. Disdain for Sandwich Sauce

"Who wants to go to eat barbecue with you~~beep~~~perverted man"

Sandwich Sauce pulled his lower eye sockets with his fingers and made a face at Chaoyang.
