You are the first one to get into Triangle, then who am I?

(Oh, don’t you see how distressed Xiao Xia is now? If I go over and teach her step by step now, I guarantee her favorability will increase significantly!)

As she spoke, she jumped off Wakaba Mu's shoulder, climbed onto Sanka Hatsuka's shoulder, and tapped the other's left hand, which was playing the chords, with her small round hand that had no fingers at all.

(Come here quickly, then hold Xiaoxia's hand gently and teach her carefully.)

Wakaba Mutsu bit his lower lip unconsciously, tightening and loosening his fingers on the neck of the guitar.

"Xia." She suddenly spoke, her voice clearer than usual, "This fingering..."

Sanjiao Chuxia raised her head and met her pale golden eyes. Ruoye Mu felt his heart pounding in his chest, but he still moved closer, holding the guitar.

"That's it."

She reached out and placed her hand directly on the back of his. The moment their skin touched, she felt his fingers stiffen slightly, but he didn't move away.

(Oh ↑↓, well done, Xiao Mu!)

Ruoye Mu's fingertips gently applied force, guiding his fingers to slide across the strings: "The thumb is here..."

Sanjiao Chuxia could smell the faint scent of shampoo in her hair, mixed with the unique scent of cucumber. He subconsciously held his breath and let her cold fingers guide him.

"Do you understand?" She let go of his hand and looked straight at him with her light golden eyes.

Sanjiao Chuxia's Adam's apple moved slightly: "Well... I'll try again."

His fingers moved according to the touch he remembered, and this time he completed the entire variation smoothly. A barely perceptible smile appeared at the corner of Wakaba Mu's mouth, but he quickly regained his composure.

………………

P.S.: I feel that questioning Lao Deng about Chu Hua is a rather boring plot, so I’ll just mention it briefly at the beginning of the next volume. The main plot of the band fanfiction should still be about music! Band!

Ps2: Can anyone help me think of a name for Metis? QWQ What reason can I use to come up with this name? If you can’t think of one, I can only let Xiaoxiang come up with it. (

Chapter 175 [Popipa], This is where your problem lies

The evening streets were dyed orange by the setting sun. As Sanjiao Chuxia turned the corner, carrying a plastic bag from the convenience store, she suddenly saw a familiar figure.

Hua Yuan Duohui sat alone on a park bench, her black hair swaying slightly in the evening breeze, her fingers unconsciously fiddling with the strap of her guitar bag.

"Senior Duohui?" He took two steps closer and greeted her tentatively.

Hanazono Duohui raised her head, her light golden eyes were a little out of focus, as if she had just been pulled away from her thoughts.

"Ah...it's Xiao Xia."

"What is Dahui-senpai doing here?"

"Hmm..." She tilted her head, her tone still light, "I'm thinking."

Sanjiao Chuxia sat down next to her and took out a can of coffee from a plastic bag and handed it to her.

"Want to drink?"

Hanazono Tahui took the coffee and gently stroked the can with her fingertips. After a moment of silence, she said, "Chu2 wants me to quit Poppin'Party and officially join RAISE A SUILEN."

"what?"

Hearing this, Sanjiao Chuxia was stunned for a moment, then realized: "Poaching?"

"Yeah." She nodded. "Chu2 said my guitar is very suitable for [RAS], and it will be a good match with Ruiyi's partner..."

"Rui Yi?" Sanjiao Chuxia was a little unfamiliar with this name.

"That's Layer's real name. Ruiyi is my good friend from childhood. We once agreed to form a band together."

"I see..." He nodded thoughtfully, then turned to look at Hanazono Duohui's expression, "So what does Duohui-senpai think?"

She looked at the setting sun in the distance and said softly, "RAS is very strong, and it's fun to play... But I really don't want to leave Poppin' Party."

"Isn't this great? Then why does Dahui-senpai look so lost?"

"But..." Hanazono Tae's tone was rarely troubled, "Kasumi and the others all said, 'No need to decide so quickly' and 'I think you should think about it again' and so on..."

As soon as the reason was explained, Sanjiao Chuxia felt relieved instantly.

(The people at Poppin' Party probably thought Dahui would have a better career at RAS, so they asked her to think it over carefully.)

"Kasumi-senpai and the others are all gentle people..." He smiled knowingly, then changed the subject, "That's why they made such a mistake."

【Poppin'Party】, this is where your problem lies!

"What does it mean?"

"Because Dahui-sunday is very important to everyone in Poppin' Party, they will hope for a better future for you."

As he spoke, he opened his coffee and took a sip. "RAS is indeed a great band, with superb skills and a great musical atmosphere. With Dahui's skills, it's perfect for her to be the guitarist for RAS."

Sanjiao Chuxia's fingers tapped lightly on the coffee can, making a metallic "tapping" sound. He stared at the profile of Hanazono Dahui, the afterglow of the setting sun dancing on his eyelashes.

"But..." He deliberately dragged out the tone, "For Tae-senpai, playing with everyone in Poppin' Party is the most important thing. Kasumi-senpai didn't consider this at all."

"..."

"But speaking of this, Duohui-senpai, you are also wrong."

"Eh, me?"

Hanazono Tae opened her eyes slightly wide and pointed at herself in surprise.

"Did I...do something wrong?"

Sanka Hatsuka shook the coffee can gently. "When Dahui-senpai was told 'Don't make a decision so quickly,' she certainly didn't say 'I still prefer playing with everyone,' right there and then. That's why people misunderstood that Dahui-senpai was also hesitating about whether to join [RAS]."

"...Ah, then shouldn't I just run out like this?"

"Of course. If I were Da Hui, I would have rejected that kid from chu2 decisively and firmly the moment he tried to recruit me, leaving no room for negotiation."

He suddenly stood up, and the coffee can in his hand was crushed with a "click". Then he imitated the way Hanazono Tae usually played the guitar and made a strumming motion in the air.

"I'd say something like, 'Sorry, chu2, although I'm happy to be reunited with Ray, my guitar is already tied to Poppin' Party. Like the stars and the night sky, it's incomplete without either.'"

The park's fountain suddenly started to work, splashing water at their feet.

Looking at the water splashes dyed golden by the setting sun, the corners of Hanazono's mouth curled up slightly: "Xiao Xia, you are very good at talking."

"I was just expressing Dahui-senpai's feelings."

"Yeah..." She nodded slightly and stood up from the bench, her black hair swaying gently in the wind, "I'll go find Kasumi now."

"Now?"

"Yes." Hanazono Tae's eyes became firm. "You should express your feelings clearly about how you love playing with everyone and don't want to leave Poppin' Party."

"Isn't it too late?"

The sun was almost setting, leaving only a last ray of dark red afterglow on the horizon.

She looked up at the sky, but did not hesitate at all.

"I think I should tell everyone these words as soon as possible."

Hanazono Tahui had just taken a step when she suddenly remembered something and turned to Sanjiao Hatsuka: "Xiaoxia, do you want to come with us?"

"I'm not a member of Poppin' Party. Wouldn't it be awkward if I were there?"

"No." She tilted her head and tapped her chin with her finger. "Liuliu has been to Yusaki's warehouse with Poppin' Party before."

"Then I bet Rikka-senpai must be so excited that he's about to cry."

"Well, Shang Liuliu couldn't stop crying after listening to the performance of Poppin' Party."

"After all, Rikka-senpai is the sole promoter of Poppin'Party..."

(My favorite band played for Rikka-senpai alone, which was the pinnacle of my life.)

Before Sanjiao Chuxia could finish her words, Hanazono Duohui grabbed her wrist and dragged her forward. The night breeze blew her long hair, and the ends of her hair brushed his cheek, carrying a faint scent of shampoo.

"Hurry up!" she urged, turning back, the light from the street lamp dancing in her eyes, "If it's any later, everyone will have to go to bed!"

"Didn't I tell you it's too late?"

………………

PS: Is Otae's hair originally black? (Moegirlpedia says it's black hair)

PS2: Today's results allowed Otae to return to the group a day early (it seemed to be resolved the next day in the animation, so fast...)

Chapter 176 I envy you guys

As she ran, Hua Yuan Duohui pulled out her phone and swiped her fingers across the screen. The night breeze blew her long hair, and the ends of her hair brushed against Sanjiao Chuxia's cheek, carrying a faint scent of shampoo.

【Popipa!】Group chat:

Tae: Everyone, can you come to the warehouse?

Tae: I have something to say to everyone!

Sanjiao Chuxia stumbled two steps as she dragged her: "Wait! At least let me put the convenience store bag——"

The plastic bag made a rustling sound as she ran, and the can of coffee inside almost slipped out. Hanazono Tae suddenly braked, and the triangle Hatsuka behind her almost hit her back.

"Let me help Xiao Xia get it!"

Without waiting for a response, she took the plastic bag containing several cans of coffee from Sankaku Hatsuka's hand, and then dragged him towards Ichigaya Arisaki's house.

"Dahui-senpai! Coffee is pretty strong!"

"It's okay, I exercise regularly!" Her voice drifted in the night wind. "Besides, we'll be arriving at Arisaki's house soon—"

The streetlights lit up one after another, and the shadows of the two people on the stone slabs became longer and shorter.

Hanazono Dahui's guitar bag slapped against her back as she ran, making a dull sound.

(Can you run so fast with a guitar on your back?!)

I remember that when Sankaku Hatsuka was traveling, he had to ask Hachiman Kailing to help him look after his guitar to prevent him from running out of energy. But Hanazono Tae in front of him seemed to have no such concerns at all.

When they turned the corner, they saw a classical-style courtyard in the distance - that was Arisaki Ichigaya's home.

A figure with blonde twintails was standing at the door, looking out. When she saw the two of them, she waved vigorously.

"otae!"

Ichigaya Arisaki's voice could be heard from a distance. Hanazono Tae suddenly accelerated, and even with her guitar bag and several cans of coffee on her back, she still left the panting Mitsuka behind.

When he finally arrived at the warehouse and stood on the stairs, leaning against the wall to catch his breath, Hanazono Duohui was already standing in front of everyone.

"I like Popipa, and I like being with Kasumi, Satomi, Arisaki, and Saaya." Her voice was quiet, but very clear. "I've never thought of leaving Popipa!"

The warehouse suddenly became quiet, and warm light shone on everyone's face.

Ushigome Satomi covered her mouth, her eyes reddened. Yamabuki Sayaka pursed her lips, her eyelashes fluttering slightly. And Ichigaya Yusaki turned her face away, her braids swaying gently.

“Actually, I don’t hate Popipa, and I’m quite happy playing in a band.

Although we don’t know what the future holds, the five of us share the same goal, and it would be great to be able to perform at a Budokan one day…”

At this point, Ichigaya Yusaki's face flushed a little, and she didn't dare look at Hanazono Tae and everyone else: "But I don't know what Otae thinks. I'm afraid Otae doesn't think that [Popipa] is necessary."

"Aisaki..."

(Sure enough, is it because I didn’t say it in time?)

Looking at her expression, Hanazono Tae thought so.

"I couldn't even say 'I don't want you to leave'. I thought I knew how to express myself..." Yamabuki Sayaka raised her head and looked at her with tearful eyes, "Otae, please don't go."

Hanazono Tae slowly approached her and slowly extended her hand: "I'm not leaving. I'm not going anywhere, Saaya."

"As expected, I knew that Otae liked Popipa the most."

The always timid Ushigome Satomi mustered up her courage and expressed her feelings while shedding tears:

"Thank you for always thinking so much about [Popipa]. I also want to work hard and help Otae-chan and others... Thank you for choosing to stay."

"Otae! (;'??Д??`)" The lead singer, who was crying so hard that her style was completely different, suddenly jumped up and hugged Hanazono Tae and Ichigaya Yusaki together, "That's great!"

"Let go, Kasumi!"

The whole warehouse was filled with loud cries. The five girls huddled together, and the scene was very chaotic for a while.
