Heavy girl? I feel worse than Black Hole Trigger!

He had indeed watched a fair amount of anime, but he wasn't a complete otaku. Even though his incredibly powerful brain could memorize everything he'd seen, he couldn't fabricate information he hadn't studied before.

However, if I could find an opportunity...

Baodeng Zheli's gaze rested on a poster.

It's called a poster, but if you look closely it's more like an advertising billboard.

In front of a huge and magnificent Live House, a group of band promotional posters are placed in a fixed advertising space.

It's like someone brings you a pillow just when you're sleepy. Isn't this the opportunity?

Bao Dengzeli didn't recognize anyone on the poster and couldn't even remember their names, but he knew that the girl standing in the center with red highlights had the voice of voice actor Ayane Sakura, and that the name of the band was "Afterglow".

"So this is the world of BanG Dream."

Now I understand why there are girl bands everywhere. The answer is that Bushido is trying to make money from otakus.

With a sudden realization, Bao Deng Zeli realized that there was nothing he could do: he had never met Bon Bon, and the only reason he knew Afterglow was because he was a noble Sasaki. Even if he knew he was on the stage of a production, his lack of knowledge meant he couldn't suddenly act condescendingly and point fingers at the "characters."

Besides, he has already learned his lesson.

As an ordinary person, even if you were to go to another world, if God didn't give you a cheat, how could you have the ability to compete with the world's darling (the protagonist)?

Zhe Li shook his head, too lazy to think any further, and instead looked up at the huge "LIVEHOUSE RiNG" sign in front of him.

"The band—"

The man rubbed his smooth chin.

Baodeng Zheli's family runs a bakery, so there is no such thing as him being good at playing musical instruments. It would be better to say that he has never practiced any instrument at all.

But he does have some experience in music.

In the "previous world" Japan, which was divided by one-third by the "Wall of the Sky" and was about to end, he once learned arrangement from a talented DJ and was still able to appreciate the band's performance.

"Go and have a look."

He did it as soon as he thought of it, and walked into "RiNG" with his head held high.

A girl walked in holding a handcart.

"Ah, Lenai." The waiter who was preparing drinks greeted the girl.

The girl just raised her eyes slightly, her expression normal, and made a slight murmur from her mouth, which was difficult to tell whether it was a reply or not.

The clerk didn't care much, as if he was used to it. He just waited for the girl to sit at the counter with a smile on his face.

"What do you want to eat?"

The girl called Lena opened her eyes wide, looked straight at the clerk, and said, "Matcha parfait."

"Haha, same as always."

The clerk nodded and turned to instruct the kitchen to prepare the food. When he returned to the counter, he was suddenly stunned.

"Come to think of it, a customer ordered parfait today. That's not surprising, Lenai-chan... but it's only just the beginning of spring, right? Has it been this hot lately?"

At this time, a voice came: "Maybe that person just likes desserts."

"Huh? Ah..."

The clerk suddenly felt a little embarrassed and turned around to smile in the direction of the voice.

"I'm sorry for talking about you without your permission."

Lenai slowly turned her head to look.

He was a tall man in a black windbreaker. When Lenai's gaze met his, he glanced over, smiled, and waved gently at the girl before turning back to the clerk.

"Don't be nervous, it's not a big deal."

This person is naturally Baodeng Zheli.

"I was thinking of ordering another strawberry parfait. Could you please?"

He spread his hands and tilted his head slightly, trying to appear kind.

"Of course. Strawberry Parfait..."

The clerk didn't argue too much and ended the topic as he wished.

The man turned around and returned to his seat, sitting back down. Lenai's gaze followed his back, all the way to his seat, and finally stopped at the empty glass.

Judging from the few remaining black marks, it seemed to be a chocolate-flavored parfait.

Zhe Li, who had just sat down, noticed the silver-haired girl with heterochromic eyes at the counter staring at him. He thought for a moment, then stood up again and walked over to the counter. He sat down in an empty seat two seats away from the girl, turning his chair to face her.

"What's wrong, little girl? Anything you want to say?"

The girl blinked, first looking at his clothes, then his neck, and finally his eyes.

That extremely focused face seemed to be pondering the ultimate questions of life, the universe, and everything.

Then Baodeng Zheli's eyes became sharp.

"42." "Matcha parfait is better."

““…….”

The words spoken almost simultaneously made the man lean back exaggeratedly, then he reached out and pinched his chin as if thinking.

After a while, the man finally spoke: "Oolong tea?"

"Matcha is better." The girl replied quickly.

The man kept his hand on his chin, his eyes still sharp.

"Matcha Udon?" the man said.

"Buckwheat is better." The girl replied.

The man frowned, as if he had to admit defeat because his theory had been overturned by new evidence.

"Huh. I see."

“…….” This is the clerk.

No, what do you understand?

The shop assistant was sweating profusely. Baodeng Zheli knocked on the counter again to draw her attention. A look of sadness appeared on his face. "I lost. Excuse me, please give me another matcha parfait."

"……OK."

Shinji Rinrinko gave up thinking.

Seeing the waitress turn her head stiffly to communicate with the kitchen staff, Baodeng Zheli couldn't help but smile.

"interesting?"

The girl next to him suddenly said.

Zhe Li paused and looked into the girl's eyes.

He didn't answer immediately, but looked carefully into the girl's eyes.

The cat-like heterochromatic pupils were so clear that they couldn't hide even a shadow.

Then Zhe Li nodded and said with a smile:

"It's very interesting."

So is the world, and so am I.

The girl looked at him intently, then tilted her head slightly.

"Interesting man."

"...I think it's better not to call others that."

"interesting."

"Are you a domineering CEO from somewhere?"

"don't know."

"It's better not to understand."

"Well, it's really interesting."

"..."

Feeling that the conversation would go on endlessly, Zheli took the initiative to end the topic.

The girl glanced at him, said nothing, and then fell silent.

It was time to go home from school, and in this cafe on the second floor of "RiNG", the sounds of people coming and going downstairs could gradually be heard.

But the silence between Zheli and Le Nai left no room for any noise to interfere.

Zhe Li supported his cheek with one hand, squinted his eyes, and hummed a rhythmic melody through his nose. Anyone could see that he was in a good mood.

The silver-haired girl, Lenai, was lying on the table, shaking her little head from left to right.

There were two empty seats between them, and they didn't even make eye contact, but for some reason I felt like they were in the same group.

Until the shop assistant broke the warm silence.

"Here, Lena-chan's matcha parfait."

"!"

If the girl had a pair of cat ears on her head, they would definitely be standing up high and full of energy at this moment.

Lenai's face remained expressionless, but she was brimming with excitement. She quickly took the spoon handed to her by the waiter and eagerly scooped a large mouthful of ice cream into her mouth, soon revealing a sweet and innocent smile.

"And this gentleman's matcha parfait. Please wait a moment for the strawberry parfait."

"Thank you."

Baodeng Zheli glanced at the silver-haired girl out of the corner of his eye, and simply followed her example and took a big bite.

"……tasty."

Parfait, after all, is just ice cream with lots of toppings. Bao Deng Zheli had just ordered a chocolate parfait, but it tasted just so-so. However, considering this was just a small restaurant attached to a live house, expecting them to compete with a dedicated dessert shop was a bit too much, so he didn't have high expectations.

I tried the matcha flavor at this moment, and it was surprisingly delicious.

Is it because the natural bitterness of matcha strikes a perfect balance with the milk and sugar? Or does he simply like matcha?

"tasty?"

Just as I was thinking about whether to add this dessert to my own cafe, the girl's calm voice came from beside me again.

Zhe Li turned to look at her and nodded seriously, "Delicious."

"Yeah." The girl nodded.

Although her expression didn't change much, I always felt that she was very happy.

"Thank you."

Zhe Li thought about it and said again.

Although he initially just wanted to tease the clerk who eavesdropped on their conversation, it was because he saw the girl called Lena showing enthusiasm for the matcha parfait that he felt the desire to try it.

The girl blinked. "Yeah."

Then they stopped talking until Zhe Li finished the strawberry parfait that was served next and was about to get a tissue to wipe his mouth, then he heard the girl's voice again.

“It looks like a cloud.”

The girl stared at him and said.

The whipped cream on my lips?

Zhe Li smiled and said, "Yeah." He wiped the cream clean.

The girl's eyes didn't move.

After waiting for Zheli to wipe his mouth and crumple the used tissue into a ball, she spoke again: "Interesting man."

Zhe Li paused for a moment and smiled even more brightly.

"Yes!"
