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

After Chaoyang's father finished speaking, it seemed as if he had given up discussing with Chaoyang. He no longer looked at him but lowered his head to read the documents, as if his time was not worth wasting on his disappointing son.

"Well... I still suggest you create a new account."

Chaoyang did not forget to say something before leaving. He did not take the words of this so-called father too seriously.

After walking out of the room, Chaoyang decided to inform Toyokawa Shoko in advance. Although he didn't know whether her father would really sell his daughter, it was hard to say what kind of things he would do after all, as he was a gambler and a drunkard.

After quickly returning to his room, Chaoyang took out his cell phone and called Xiangzi.

"Hello, it's me, Xiangzi."

And from the other end of the line came only two cold words.

"Bye."

The beeping sound reminded Chaoyang that he had indeed hung up.

The veins on Chaoyang's forehead immediately popped out.

[This guy, kindly reminds her to be careful with this attitude.]

Chaoyang took a deep breath to calm his restless heart.

After waiting for three seconds, I called again. If the other party continued like this this time, it would be difficult to persuade her to die, so I could only respect her fate.

After a sound, Chaoyang was prompted to connect again.

"Hey……"

"toot"

This time, Chaoyang died as soon as he said a word.

The last time I called, the phone said it was turned off.

"grass!"

Chaoyang, who was giving a kind reminder, was so angry that he threw his phone against the wall and it instantly turned into pieces. The wall was cracked by Chaoyang's huge force.

other side

Inside a dilapidated apartment

Shoko Toyokawa was squatting on the tatami in the corner of the dirty and messy living room, hugging her knees. There were traces of tears under her eyes and her cheeks were slightly swollen.

"Asshole dad..."

At this time, Shoko Toyokawa's father was no longer in the house. The only evidence of his existence left in the living room was an empty beer can that smelled of alcohol.

Xiangzi buried his head deeply between his thighs. The only source of light in the room was the TV, which Xiangzi's father forgot to turn off when he went out.

Xiangzi's mind was still echoing with what his bastard father had just said.

"Xiangzi, go marry your cousin! The Toyokawa family promised me that as long as you marry that guy, they will help me pay off my debts. You can be your rich lady again!"

"!? I can't believe you actually sold your own daughter for money! I told you I would work hard to take back what belongs to us, why are you doing anything unnecessary!?"

"You bastard, you're such a loser! You're just a brat and you know nothing!? I provided you with fine clothes and food, and gave you the best education, and now you don't even think about repaying your father? I'm in this situation because of you, and you still dare to talk to me like that."

"Snapped!"

Thinking of this, Xiangzi touched the cheek where his father had hit him.

I originally thought that my father was just temporarily decadent, but I didn't expect that he would put all the blame on me.

No one comforted or apologized to him. After beating himself, he went out to get drunk.

Chaoyang didn't know that his reminder was already too late.

"Who can help me……"

Tears appeared in Xiangzi's eyes again. He had thought he was strong enough to cut off the past and start over.

But she didn't expect that fate would push her into an even more difficult situation.

At this moment, she could only grit her teeth, but she didn't know who to hate.

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

Time passed quickly and it was the day when Pochi and the others were performing at RING.

"Let's start the sound check now~ Let's start with the drummer~~"

Sitting in front of the mixing console is RING's store manager, Rinrinko.

Now, except for the stray cat Yao Lenai and Nagasaki Suyo, most of the Pochi people are stiff.

"Ritsuki-chan, you're hitting it too fast, slow down a bit. ... Um, next is the snare drum... Next is the hi-hat."

At this moment, Kaname Lenai suddenly smiled.

At the same time, the hands pluck the strings flexibly.

After hearing the intense melody played by Lena, Pochi and the others all looked at her, wondering what was going on.

The store manager Rinrinko, who had been taking care of Lenna, knew that she just suddenly wanted to play the piano, so she laughed and said,

"Lena-chan, please wait a moment. It's Riki-chan's turn now. Your turn will be later."

"Ok?"

Lenai tilted her head and looked around in confusion, wondering if she was not allowed to play now?

So she immediately took down her guitar and ran off the stage. At first everyone thought she was going to get some water or something.

But after Lixi finished the audition, her voice was still missing.

"Next is the bassist's turn. Please play briefly."

Nagasaki Suyo immediately replied with a sweet smile

"Yes~~"

She began to play, but as soon as her fingers began to slide across the bass strings, the problem became immediately apparent.

The bass sounded extremely disorganized. Each note seemed to be at odds with the next, creating a dissonant effect. The low end was overly muddy and lacked the depth and reverberation it should have.

Pochi and Riki immediately heard something was wrong.

"Ah... Su, Suye-chan..."

When Pochi was about to give a subtle reminder.

Li Xi pointed it out mercilessly.

"Hey! What the hell! Haven't you tuned up your music yet today?"

Nagasaki Suyo didn't mean it, she simply didn't take the performance seriously. Her mind was now full of thoughts about how to get Shoko back after the performance, and then kick out Pochi and Lenai.

After hearing what Li Xi said, Nagasaki Suyo immediately reacted and played a few more times and found that the sound was indeed wrong.

"Huh? Weird? Sorry~~"

I apologized immediately, not wanting to appear too obvious about slacking off.

"Then let's start with the guitar... Lenai-chan ran away... so let's start with the rhythm guitar."

“Ah… yes, yes!”

As everyone's eyes turned to him, Pochi quickly started playing, but it was just the song that would mark the end of his band.

In the audience, Mizukari of Afterglow, a powerful band leader in the BanG Dream! universe, watched the amateur band auditioning, seemingly just to fill in for a short break. Though her expression remained unmoved, she was quite surprised. She had seen the lead guitarist, Kaname Rakuna, with her reputation for frequently performing with various bands. But she hadn't expected the rhythm guitarist to be nearly as skilled as her. She couldn't help but look forward to the performance of this unseen band on stage.

295. The person who tied the bell must untie it

Backstage

In the lounge

"Deng-chan, are you okay? Don't be nervous, go on stage, everything will be fine once you start playing."

After going through so much, Pochi would take the initiative to comfort Takamatsu Deng who looked worried.

Takamatsu Deng's sound check just now was the most unsuccessful, he made almost no sound.

But no one took it too seriously, thinking she was just lost in her own world.

"You're more nervous than the lights! Your heartbeat sounds like a drum. Try to calm yourself down before trying to comfort others! I really can't stand you."

It is indeed as Lixi complained, it would be more convincing if Pochi's heartbeat could be quieter.

Li Xi's original intention was actually just to remind Pochi of his own condition, but unfortunately, his heart was good but his mouth was bad at execution.

"Yes, I'm sorry..."

Pochi, who had degenerated into a slime, apologized softly.

"Hey, I'm not asking you to apologize, I'm asking you to calm down! Aren't you even more nervous now?!"

Lixi has recently gotten used to seeing Pochi become all kinds of weird, knowing that this is because Pochi is scared.

So she tried to make amends in a panic, but unfortunately she had already given all her tenderness to Gao Songdeng.

At this time, Nagasaki Suyo just smiled and said nothing, watching the fire from the other side. She no longer tried to mediate the conflict and speak for Pochi like before. She hoped that Li Xi would quickly pressure "Aine" to leave.

Gao Songdeng was unable to estimate other situations at this time.

Now her mind couldn't help but recall the situation a year ago.

I even recalled that sharp comment.

“The lead singer works so hard!”

What if I sing too hard and the band disbands?

Then, Gao Songdeng immediately thought of that rainy day and the way Xiangzi looked at her, as if he was blaming himself.

"I, I've never had fun playing in a band."

And Wakaba Mutsu, who was silently polishing his guitar, used these words to end the band's performance.

Like a nightmare, it began to surround Takamatsu Deng's head as the performance approached.

"what…"

Pochi finally woke up from her own world, but she immediately noticed Takamatsu Deng when she saw him.

[She, she, like me... is trapped in her own imaginary world.]

The pain that Pochi felt from her was something he had also experienced.

He is rejected by the people who created the world he imagined, and falls into depression and distress.

Pochi walked up to Takamatsu Deng with his head lowered.

Pochi's mind was filled with memories of this period and her experiences.

I really like Kita-chan's singing... I also really like this girl's singing. Although I'm not familiar with her, she seems very similar to me, yet different in some ways. I've spent the most time with her in this world recently. Although I'm just a substitute, her kindness to me isn't genuine... But I have to tell her...

"I really like your singing. I'm not lying... Even though I'm scared and my mind is in a mess, this is the only thing I can say seriously."

“Ah…Aine-chan…”

"I, I know very well that I'm weak... I don't know anything, but I absolutely don't want to go against my original intention. So, Deng-chan, please, please sing it out! Once you sing it out, you'll realize that everything was just my imagination!"

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

Just as Pochi was encouraging Takamatsu Deng.

Chaoyang also came to RING. Since he came simply to see Bochi and her band, he didn't plan to enter yet.

Instead, I went to the coffee shop.

[Ah…that woman!]

As Chaoyang entered the room, he saw Toyokawa Shoko and another girl with light green hair sitting opposite each other at a table.

Toyokawa Shoko also saw Chaoyang but her expression was cold and without any fluctuation.

Originally Chaoyang wanted to ignore...

But he scratched the back of his head.

【Never mind, I'll just remind you...】
