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

"..."

Pochi pretended to write quickly on the blank test paper, but he was unable to put pen to paper.

[This is over, this is over. I don't understand anything at all... To whom did Retired Emperor Shirakawa abdicate and begin the regency? I don't even know who Retired Emperor Shirakawa was... In 1177, a plot to overthrow the Taira clan was hatched in a mountain villa, and it was discovered. What was the name of this conspiracy? I don't know!? Why isn't this even a multiple choice question?]

Looking at the blank test paper, if it were the original Pochi, he would still be able to use his original strength with peace of mind.

But because he didn't want to damage Aine's reputation, he began to stress himself out and beat himself on the head.

Goto Ichiri, you can do it! Believe in yourself. The answer lies deep within your mind. Just listen carefully in class!!!

After a period of extreme self-inflicted mental exhaustion, Pochi finally...

"Pfft!"

He fell sideways to the ground and passed out.

"Ano-chan!" "Chihaya-kun!?"

Gao Songdeng, who was sitting in the front seat, and the teacher quickly ran over.

……

"You're amazing, Ano-chan. You're the top student in the whole school. You're worthy of being called Ano-chan. Can Ano-chan teach me how to do this problem?"

"Haha, of course you can. First do this, then do this, and you can easily solve this formula."

"Amazing! Ano-chan... no, Goto-sama, please teach me too." "Goto, teach me too!!"

Pochi shook his head with regret and said to the believers who were rushing over.

"Oh my, I didn't expect my true identity to be exposed? Then I will leave this world too."

"Don't go, Goto-sama! We can't have fun without you!"

At this moment, white light obscured Pochi's vision.

Consciousness begins to blur.

"...Nothing's wrong. Heartbeat and temperature are normal, and there are no external injuries. But he's sweating a lot. Maybe he's having some mental problems... Ah, he's awake."

Slowly opening his eyes, Pochi looked at the unfamiliar ceiling.

"here it is……"

"This is the school health room, Chihaya-san... You suddenly fainted during class, and Takamatsu-san brought you here. Ah, Takamatsu-san, go back to class. Leave this to me."

"...Um, please let me look after Ano-chan here."

Takamatsu Deng was reluctant to leave and still held Pochi's hands tightly with both hands.

"I can't help you. Just stay here until lunch break."

"Well, thank you, teacher. ...How's Ano-chan? Is there anything you'd like to eat or drink?"

Takamatsu Deng looked at Pochi with great concern.

"Yes, I'm sorry for causing you trouble."

[Great! I managed to avoid the exam with this, but do I have to do this every time from now on?]

Although he apologized verbally, Pochi was now beginning to feel lucky that he had escaped danger.

At this time Gao Songdeng lowered his head.

"Ano-chan, there's no need to put too much pressure on yourself... It must be because you've neglected your studies due to guitar practice... That's why..."

Takamatsu Deng actually has no idea how good Pochi's guitar skills are, but seeing the attitudes of Riki and Su Shi, he probably understands that Pochi's guitar skills are at a very high level now.

Takamatsu Deng naturally thought that Pochi spent all his time practicing guitar.

"Ah... um."

[…Actually, I've always studied hard and taken good notes…but there are always those kids in the world who don't get good grades even if they study hard.]

Pochi burst into tears.

Lonely Rock World Recording Studio

"Wow... This guy named Goto Ichiri is actually a video blogger! He has tens of thousands of followers and even makes money!"

Chihaya Aine was reminded by the comments on the email videos on her phone from time to time. She clicked on them and found out that Pochi's true identity was the guitar hero.

[Ah... How could someone who simply plays guitar have so many fans? ...His clothes are so tacky, and the name Guitar Hero is a bit too... And the decor in the video room is so plain.]

Hong Xia coughed a few times and asked Ai Yin who was looking at her phone.

"Hey Ano-chan, how good can you play the guitar?"

"Ah...this..."

Originally, Aine wanted to say that she was quite good at playing the piano, but after seeing her level in the video uploaded by Pochi-chan, she suddenly lost the confidence to answer.

"Can you play this? It's a new song from our band."

Hongxia handed over the music score.

"Ah... I don't understand the chord sheet. If you can, can you give me the tab sheet?"

Hong Xia gasped on the spot.

【Not as good as Kita-chan!? 】

Liang said directly and mercilessly.

"The band won't be performing for the next two months. Ano needs to intensively practice guitar."

284. Pochi shows off his skills!

Lunch break

By this time, Pochi had returned to the classroom from the infirmary.

Takamatsu Deng is no longer in the class.

Pochi took out the lunch box prepared by Aine's mother from his schoolbag and originally planned to find a dark and deserted place to eat by himself, but he was stopped by three girls.

"Ano-chan? Are you okay? You really scared us just now."

"Ah... no, it's okay."

Only then did Pochi realize that he was no longer the same person as before and had to learn to eat with others.

"By the way, Ano-chan, it seems like you guys are going to be performing on the same stage with Afterglow, right? That's great~, I think we should have this opportunity too, but we don't have our own songs, so even if we could perform, I guess we wouldn't be able to do it. After all, we can't perform with them and cover their songs at the same time."

"Ah...um..."

Pochi could only agree with the conversation.

And then another girl started asking about the Pochi band.

"Speaking of which, do you plan to play only original music when your band performs on stage?"

"Well, it seems so."

Following Pochi's answer, one of the girls spoke with an extremely envious tone.

"Ahh~~ The three of us have absolutely no talent for composing lyrics... How about asking Tomori-chan to write the lyrics for us?"

"Even if Tomori-chan agrees, what about composing music? No, there's still no way. Does anyone want to learn composing music now?"

Faced with this question, the other two girls shook their heads. They were already exhausted from practicing their own instruments as a band, and it was a bit difficult to learn composition on top of that.

Pochi felt a little touched as he listened to their conversation.

"So composing music is so difficult... Ryo-senpai has always been so calm and composed... Come to think of it, the drummer is the one who composed the music for this band. Everyone's so talented... I only know how to play guitar, but I can also write lyrics."

At this time, the three of them were already talking about specific issues.

"I've been playing the lead guitar solo strumming of Sasanqua in Afterglow lately. No matter how much I practice, I can't really get the hang of tapping and all that, and I keep making mistakes. Speaking of which, can Ano-chan play this part well? It would be nice if I could see the fingering technique up close."

The girl who was talking flipped through her phone while talking and handed it to Pochi.

After just a few seconds of looking at it, Pochi felt that there was nothing wrong.

"Ah... Yes, you can play it. This song is good."

"Ah... If I memorize this song, return to my original world, and claim it's my own composition, I'll definitely be admired by everyone... Ah, no, no, how can I do such an immoral thing?"

"really?"

The girl originally planned to go to the recording studio together after school, but unexpectedly, Pochi directly took the guitar and acted as if he was going to play it in the classroom.

"Hey, Ano-chan, do you want to play guitar? Let's go see."

Almost half of the students in the class were in bands, so they were naturally interested in playing techniques, not to mention that Aine herself was a well-known figure in the class.

At this time, Pochi was already in a state of concentration, his attention completely focused on the guitar and the song, and he didn't notice that he was surrounded by people from behind.

She felt the beat in her heart, clapped the time, and her fingers danced lightly on the strings. Although the guitar was not plugged in, the original sound of the guitar could not fully show the charm of the song, but since there was no noise at all, everyone could see that Boqi had a very accurate grasp of the rhythm and her technique was sophisticated. She could also perform the solo part that the girl thought was difficult without any difficulty.

Before I knew it, the song was over.

"Clap clap clap clap..."

There was immediate applause of appreciation from all around.

"Ano-chan is amazing!" "Her guitar skills seem to be as good as Miss Mocha from Afterglow." "Oh, what a pity, Ano-chan already has a band, otherwise I would definitely invite her."

At first, Pochi was very scared and wondered if she had made a fool of herself, but as the onlookers made positive comments one after another, her vanity was greatly satisfied.

"Ahahaha, no, nothing, I was just playing it casually, not seriously."

Pochi was completely inflated by the flattery of the people around him. He touched the back of his pink head, and his facial features almost melted together with excitement.

People who played guitar nearby started to come up and ask for fingering advice.

"Simple, simple, this is the fingerstyle technique, just like this for now, and then like this~~"

Pochi no longer wanted to go back. This situation was like a dream, being the center of attention.

The rumor that Aiyin had excellent guitar skills spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, until the whole grade began to spread the word that there was a transfer student in the first year of high school who had professional guitar skills.

Later, even Toyokawa Shoko, who had no contact with anyone, heard about it. Although she did not show any emotion on the surface, she was slightly happy in her heart that Takamatsu Deng had met a good teammate.

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

"Master, we're here."

The driver opened the car door and Chaoyang got out of the limousine and came to a cafe. This was the place Chaoyang had agreed to meet with the former housekeeper of the mansion yesterday.

As I walked into the cafe, the doorbell rang softly, and then I was greeted by the aroma of coffee and relaxing and pleasant background music.

Yang glanced around the room and soon spotted his former butler waiting for him at a table in the corner. The butler, dressed in a neat suit and sporting a neatly trimmed hairstyle, looked quite distinguished. He was looking down, gently flipping through a book on the table.

Chaoyang walked over. The butler noticed his arrival and immediately stood up, giving him a respectful and friendly smile.

"Good afternoon, Master Chaoyang."

"You're welcome. You're no longer the housekeeper. There's no need to be so respectful."

"Haha, you're joking, Master Chaoyang, you're joking. My retirement salary still needs to be withdrawn from the mansion. Is there anything I can do for you?"

Chaoyang was too lazy to beat around the bush.

"I want to know the specific situation between Xiangzi and his father, and what difficulties they are facing now."

"...I'm sorry, Master Chaoyang, I can't tell you. They were the masters I served before. I won't tell you anything about them until I know Master Chaoyang's attitude towards them."

"What if I said I wanted to help them?"

"It doesn't matter whether it's true or not. Miss Xiangzi has a stronger sense of self-esteem than anyone else. Even if Master Chaoyang has a way to change their predicament, Miss Xiangzi will refuse. And I don't think you will help them either."

"It's really troublesome. I was just entrusted by someone else. Forget it."

"Could you please tell me who commissioned this?"

"...a high school girl named Nagasaki Suyo. She must have been in the same band as Xiangzi before."

"So it's Miss Nagasaki?"
