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

"Hmm? Ano, why are you asking this all of a sudden? You've been acting strangely since this morning...huh? Were you being bullied at school? Or even blackmailed for your pocket money? After all, you enrolled suddenly, so you might be quite conspicuous. Do you need mom to go to school and check with the teacher tomorrow?"

Aine's mother had been behaving strangely since the morning, and now seeing her daughter looking frightened at home, she could only assume that she was being bullied or something.

This is the only way to explain why my daughter, who used to be lively and cheerful, suddenly became gloomy and insecure.

"No, no, it's not a big deal. Everyone is very nice to me!!!"

"Is it really okay? If the problem can't be solved, you can transfer to another school, like Tsukinomori Girls' Academy? With your grades, Ano, you'll definitely have no problem passing the entrance exam, and your family can afford the several million yen sponsorship fee. Compared to studying in the UK, the cost is relatively low, so you don't have to worry about your family's situation."

"S-several million!?"

When Pochi heard the large amount of money, he fainted on the spot.

"Ano!?"

The mother who was cooking quickly turned off the fire and ran to her daughter.

I saw Pochi's eyes rolling around, she just fainted and nothing happened. I took the opportunity to check her body and found no signs of physical abuse, then I carried my daughter back to the room.

"Inferior society, against... society..."

Pochi on the bed started to utter incomprehensible words.

[I think I should take Ano to see a psychiatrist.]

Aine's speechless mother planned to wait for Aine's father to come back to discuss finding a doctor.

282. What percentage of the plan has been advanced?

“…So there’s a livehouse like this…”

Chaoyang was brought by Nagasaki Suyo to Higashi-Ikebukuro and walked into the RING. As soon as he entered the door, he felt the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers, and the lush greenery.

Nagasaki Suyo glanced at the performance notice board at this time,

"Ah... what a coincidence, it seems today's performance has already ended."

Her tone was full of regret, even though she had just finished practicing here and already knew the schedule for today's performance.

"Is that so? Bad luck, but I was just looking around to get familiar with the route."

Chaoyang looked indifferent as he finished speaking and looked around. He was more interested in this live house.

[Oh, if STARRY expands in the future, can it be changed to this style? It feels like a small shopping mall.]

"It's not good to stand here, why don't you go upstairs and have a cup of tea?"

"Uh…"

It was not normal for a high school girl to take the initiative to invite someone older than herself to have tea. Normally, Nagasaki Suyo would definitely not do something that was unbecoming of a Miss Tsukinomori, but she was afraid that the clues related to Toyokawa Shoko would be cut off, so she took a risk.

"Then let me treat you here, as a thank you for bringing me here."

Chaoyang doesn't like to owe favors to others, so he plans to treat the girl in front of him to a cup of tea as a way to repay the favor.

"Then I will be disrespectful~"

Once again, under the guidance of Nagasaki Suyo, Chaoyang came to the coffee shop on the second floor of RING.

Since the show was over, there were no guests inside.

"Welcome~~Please take any seat you like~~~Oh, Soyo-chan! I'll be right over~~"

A cheerful voice came from behind the counter. When they saw Nagasaki Suyo, they were immediately overjoyed, waving their hands in greeting. Chaoyang glanced at the waitress behind the counter. She had brown hair and an interesting hairstyle that resembled cat ears.

"...Looks familiar. I've seen it somewhere..."

"Is it Toyama-senpai today? You've been working hard."

【I remember, isn't this guy Toyama Kasumi? 】

Chaoyang finally understood what kind of anime this was: Bang Dream! He'd seen it a few times a few years ago, but hadn't really enjoyed it, so he hadn't finished it. The only people he remembered, besides Toyama Kasumi, were the black-stockinged Arisaki Ichigaya, whom he'd used as a side dish in a fight.

This is Chaoyang’s entire impression of Bang Bang.

[Hmm? This guy is inside?]

Chaoyang looked at Nagasaki Suye again at this time, thinking that he seemed to have never seen this person in Bang Bang?

"I didn't expect to see SOYO-chan with a man. Could they be on a date? Pfft, Taki-chan will definitely be surprised if I tell her."

Toyama Kasumi came running over, holding a pen and menu paper.

"Don't tease me, Toyama-senpai. I just happened to meet a relative of a friend on the street. I brought her here because I wanted to see her. Please give me some hot Earl Grey tea."

Chaoyang also placed an order soon after.

"Iced oolong tea."

"Please wait~~~"

After finishing the recording, Kasumi Toyama quickly ran to the kitchen to complete the order.

"call……"

With Kasumi's departure, the store fell silent. Nagasaki Suyo rubbed her slender fingers nervously, not knowing what she was thinking about.

Chaoyang knew that Nagasaki Suyo was definitely not coming for him, and he was still very confident about his appearance.

"Come to think of it, although you may know my name, I'd still like to formally introduce myself. My name is Toyokawa Chaoyang... well, you can just call me Chaoyang. If there's anything I can help you with, please tell me, Miss Nagasaki. I'm guessing it's related to Toyokawa Shoko, my cousin, right?"

"Hey, Mr. Chaoyang is really perceptive..."

Nagasaki Suyo smiled, intertwined her hands to support her chin, looked at the man in front of her, and began to form words.

"Actually, Saki-chan, I, and three other girls formed a band together in junior high school. It was called CRYCHIC."

As she spoke, Nagasaki Suyo took out her phone, unlocked it, and handed it over. It contained a video of the five girls communicating in the recording studio.

However, compared to this video, Chaoyang noticed something that was a bit scary when he thought about it carefully.

This guy hadn't touched his phone since we met, but when he unlocked it, this is the screen...

Chaoyang has fully felt how much this girl named Nagasaki Suyo values ​​this band.

[But I don’t recognize any of the people here…Are they all strangers from Bang Dream?]

Chaoyang wanted to look for any characters he knew, but unfortunately there was none. The only two people he knew were Toyokawa Shoko and Nagasaki Motoyo in front of him.

The video ended after they played a song called Kasuga Shadow, and Chaoyang handed the phone back to Nagasaki Suyo.

"...It was a pretty good band, but from what you just said it seems like it's disbanded."

"right…"

Hearing Nagasaki Suyo's affirmative answer, Chaoyang thought of how she always watched videos on her mobile phone to reminisce about the past, and he understood her purpose.

【I think I want to reunite the band.】

"Please, can you help me contact Saki-chan? Or give me her address?"

Chaoyang sighed.

"Ms. Nagasaki, since you can't contact Xiangzi, it proves that she doesn't want to contact you. Besides, I actually have no contact with her. I don't know her as well as you do, Miss Nagasaki, so I'm sorry I can't help you. I'm just immature and would like to give you some advice. It's best not to pursue a broken relationship again, as it will only cause you more trouble. The closer you get to the other person, the more likely it is to distance you from each other."

At this time, Chaoyang took out his wallet and put a five thousand yen note on the table, and prepared to leave.

"Wait... If this bothers you, please allow me to apologize first, but..."

Nagasaki Suyo chased over and held Chaoyang's hands with both hands.

"I just want to know the reason. If it's our problem, even if we break up, I want to apologize to Saki-chan and won't dwell on it."

“…I really don’t know about that… Haha, but I’ll ask someone.”

Chaoyang has always been soft-hearted and did not like to be tough. He looked at Nagasaki Suye looking up at him pitifully.

I can't bear to do it anymore.

"Thank you... You ordered tea, so let's drink it before we leave~~"

Nagasaki Suyo knew that she had succeeded.

It seemed as if the restoration of the dynasty was just around the corner.

---------------------

"bump!"

"Young Master!? Even if we want to do it, please go to the bedroom..."

As soon as he returned to the mansion, Chaoyang grabbed the maid who had been questioning him during the day and pushed her against the wall in the corner.

"Hmm? What are you talking about? Is there anyone here who knows that Toyokawa Shoko still lives here? I want to know..."

"Ah... there's a housekeeper who just retired who should know..."

"Do you have his phone number?"

"The memo in the housekeeper's office should contain..."

"Oh, thank you, I love you."

Chaoyang immediately let go of the maid. The maid blushed and looked at Chaoyang's back with a beating heart, not knowing what was going on.

283. Actually, I really tried hard!

"Is it really okay?"

Around 8 o'clock in the morning, Aine's mother originally planned to take her daughter to see a psychiatrist, but was strongly rejected by Pochi.

"Really, it's okay! I'm going to school!"

Pochi was a little confused when he woke up in the morning, but he finally figured out what was going on and tried to avoid damaging the reputation of the original owner of this identity.

He took his schoolbag and guitar and ran out.

[Yesterday, I failed miserably in my role as Aine. Today, I must truly become a real person. I can do it. After all, I've imagined myself becoming a real person countless times in my mind. It's not that difficult.]

In this way, Pochi headed towards the school with full confidence.

"Good morning~"

"Good morning~"

When he walked into the classroom from the front, the student in front of him immediately greeted Pochi when he saw him. After Pochi nervously replied, almost all the students in the classroom greeted Pochi again. This can be said to be Pochi's happiest moment.

It's true that she is socially anxious, but at the same time she also needs attention from others.

[Hey, hey, I can still easily say hello.]

When passing by Takamatsu Touma, Pochi also greeted him.

"Morning, good morning."

"..."

But Takamatsu Deng was still immersed in his own world, and the single thread was switched over.

Pochi didn't care and he understood it very well. After all, he often did this. When he was with Hongxia and the others, he often ignored them in the middle of a conversation and even did some inexplicable things.

[That's great! I'm not the only one who's lost in my own world.]

"Ano-chan, how's your preparation for today's test? You're going to get a perfect score and first place this time, right?"

The short-haired girl who was sitting in front of the back door of the classroom came over, called Pochi's name and asked about his studies with a smile.

"Ah? Test?"

"Did Ano-chan forget? But it doesn't matter. With Ano-chan's previous performance, there won't be any problems."

"..."

[It's over, it's over. Now this girl actually had perfect scores before. If it were me... wuwuwu, yes, I'm sorry, Chihaya Aine-san. I'll apologize to you if I get the chance. ...No, I can't give up yet. Trust my body's memory. Since I replaced her, I must have inherited the knowledge in her brain!]

Pochi clenched his fists with fighting spirit and began to encourage himself.

He just stared at the female classmate in front of him, who was stunned.

“Aine-chan, you’re really serious, but it’s just a quiz, no need to be so dramatic.”

He laughed and joked.

After the class meeting, it was soon time for Pochi to show off his academic ability.
