Anime Crossover Band, Rock Girl Won't Let Me Go

Chapter 96 Xiangzi in the Music Room

Bai Qiu gently pushed open the door and walked into the classroom.

The door is not locked.

Naturally, you won't see a beautiful girl with long, beautiful black hair, a tall, model-like figure, and a proud and rebellious personality.

This music room is much larger than the light music department.

It's no wonder it was donated by a famous pianist.

Just as Bai Qiu suspected, the person playing the piano was Toyokawa Shoko.

Shoko Toyokawa sat gracefully between the piano and the piano stool, exuding a professional air.

This is indeed the case.

She stood upright with her shoulders level, her forearms and upper arms bent at approximately 90 degrees, her wrists slightly raised, and her fingers bent downwards toward the keyboard.

Her calves were gracefully slender, encased in Haneoka's unique turquoise mid-length socks, and her feet, clad in black leather shoes, rested lightly on the floor, close to the piano pedals.

Alright, Bai Qiu felt she couldn't watch any longer.

It would be impolite to look at it again.

Let's just listen to it properly.

Let music cleanse the soul.

Bai Qiu didn't see the sheet music, so it seems that Feng Chuan is playing from memory.

Nimble fingers glide across the black and white keys, and a beautiful melody resounds.

Out of the corner of her eye, Toyokawa Shoko sensed that someone was coming.

However, the person who came did not disturb her.

Shoko Toyokawa breathed a sigh of relief and continued playing skillfully.

only.

The originally gentle piano music became a little more urgent, as she intended to end the piece as soon as possible.

Bai Qiu listened quietly.

Not long after, Toyokawa Shoko pressed the last piano key.

Shoko Toyokawa let out a soft sigh, still feeling a little unsatisfied, and then looked up at the front door of the classroom.

"So the person playing the piano was Toyokawa-kun."

Bai Qiu stepped forward and praised, "You played it so well."

"Classmate Bai Qiu..."

Toyokawa Shoko looked slightly surprised.

She immediately felt a little embarrassed, because she remembered what had happened with Nagasaki Motoyo that day.

Bai Qiu is a witness.

This left Toyokawa Shoko somewhat at a loss as to how to face him.

As someone who had received Bai Qiu's help several times, Xiangzi didn't want to leave a bad impression on him.

Will he think I'm a cold-hearted person? Will he think she's a bad woman?

Noticing that Toyokawa Shoko's expression seemed a bit strange, Bai Qiu asked:

"what happened?"

“I thought it was the brass band members practicing.” Toyokawa Shoko shook her head and explained, “This classroom is currently being used by the brass band members.”

She could only use her lunch break or the short time after school before the band members arrived.

Play the piano for a while to maintain your touch.

After all, she no longer has a piano at home.

Bai Qiu nodded.

It turns out this is the classroom used by the wind band. There are many people in the wind band, no wonder it was designed to be so big.

Then, Bai Qiu hesitated.

Su Shili and Xi Deng, the three of them returned to a band.

And he, to some extent, was the instigator.

He told Wakaba Mutsu, but instead of telling Toyokawa Shoko, he deliberately kept it from her.

That seems a bit unreasonable.

But this news was told to Xiangzi.

It feels very subtle.

It was like rubbing salt into her wound.

Therefore, Bai Qiu decided to give the choice to Toyokawa Shoko.

Actually, there's something I want to tell you.

"Eh?"

Toyokawa Shoko was slightly taken aback, and a vague guess formed in her mind.

"What's going on?"

“It’s about a band called ‘Lights’,” Bai Qiu replied. “I’ll tell you if you want to know, otherwise never mind.”

Toyokawa Shoko paused for a moment, pursed her lips, and looked slightly conflicted.

She both wanted to know and didn't want to know about the lamp.

Xiangzi closed his eyes briefly, then opened them and said:

Tell me...

Gazing into Toyokawa Shoko's amber eyes, Bai Qiu stated directly:

"Akira's new band, with Sosei and Shiina joining as well."

Suddenly, Xiangzi felt a buzzing sound in his head, and the world seemed to freeze for a few seconds.

It took her a while to process the news.

A while ago, Bai Qiu told her that Deng had regrouped and formed a band.

Today, I told her again that Su Shi and Li Xi had joined as well...

What happens next...?

Will Lianmu also join in?

But she no longer has the leisure to play in a band.

No one will accept her anymore.

Toyokawa Shoko's mind was filled with mixed thoughts.

She inevitably overthinks things.

Remembering what Nagasaki Motoyo said, is she still not giving up on haunting me? Or is this everyone's revenge on her?

Xiangzi felt a bitter taste in his mouth, but he pretended to be calm and said, "I...I understand."

But she couldn't hide the pain and resentment on her round face.

At this moment, Xiangzi's gaze towards Bai Qiu was somewhat subtle.

It seems that after meeting Bai Qiu, he always reminds her of the past, bringing her news from the past, making it impossible for her to escape or become weak.

Fortunately, although Bai Qiu maintained various connections with her former teammates, she never delved into her past.

However, Xiangzi still felt a slight soreness in his nose.

Bai Qiu was also a little embarrassed.

It felt like I had taken away the other team's teammates.

"You're not angry, are you?"

Toyokawa Shoko shook her head and sighed softly.

Bai Qiu also sighed:

"Actually, I was quite surprised too."

A struggle flashed in Xiangzi's eyes, but he couldn't help asking, "Can you tell me the specifics of what happened?"

Bai Qiu nodded. "I was planning to tell you too."

Xiangzi's lips twitched slightly, sensing that Bai Qiu was doing it on purpose.

Then, Bai Qiu told Xiangzi how the group had met by chance and joined the group.

Toyokawa Shoko nodded, a thoughtful expression on her face.

From this perspective, it was just a coincidence, not revenge by everyone against her.

This made her feel a little better.

Their band is complete now...

Nagasaki Motoyo will not come looking for him again.

After hesitating for a moment, Toyokawa Shoko looked at Bai Qiu with a strange expression and asked.

"What's the story behind the nickname 'Little Mu Tou'?"

Bai Qiu also mentioned that he told Ruoye Mutsu about this.

But isn't this way of addressing her a bit too intimate? When did Mu become so familiar with Bai Qiu?

"Well... don't you think this nickname is cute?" Bai Qiu explained with a smile, "Besides, Mu sometimes looks like a block of wood."

Toyokawa Shoko took a deep breath, "Shoko..."

"Please call me Xiangzi as well."

After saying that, Xiangzi turned his head away somewhat embarrassed.

"it is good."

Bai Qiu replied.

This proves that Toyokawa Shoko also considers him a good friend.

Since that's the case, Bai Qiu decided to ask again.

What does Xiangzi think of Deng's new band?

Toyokawa Shoko paused, a hint of bitterness in her voice.

"Hopefully... the band Lamp will have a successful run."

"If Xiangzi could tell Deng these words to her in person, she would be very happy."

At this time.

The door to the music room creaked.

Toyokawa Shoko looked towards the front door, her pupils contracting.

The good news is that it wasn't the wind band members who came to practice.

The bad news is that the person who came was Takamatsu Akira.

Takamatsu lamps, resembling startled little penguins, lean against the threshold.
