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

(…Something’s wrong.)

She suddenly realized that what Toyokawa Shoko said was not "keep it secret for the time being", but "cannot be disclosed" - as if the identity of the drummer of [Ave Mujica] would never be made public.

(Could it be that... he won't show his face during the performance?)

She subconsciously looked at Sanjiao Chuxia, trying to find the answer from his expression, but he just drank his latte in silence, as if he was not involved in the negotiation.

"How about it, Miss Yutenji?" Toyokawa Shoko asked softly, "Do you accept?"

This is the advantage of being in a strong position and holding the bargaining chips. She doesn't have to worry about Yutenji Wakami disagreeing. She only needs to consider how much compensation to give her.

Yutenji Wakamu tapped his fingertips lightly on the table, thinking about the pros and cons.

(If I don't show my face, it will indeed affect my personal exposure... but collaborating with Sankaku-san twice a month is enough to make up for it.)

(and……)

Her eyes fell on Toyokawa Shoko again.

(This band, I’m afraid, is not that simple.)

Finally, she raised the corners of her mouth and revealed her signature sly smile.

"Okay, deal~" She held out her hand, "But I still have a small question——"

Toyokawa Shoko didn't shake her hand, but tilted her head slightly: "Hmm?"

"What if the audience recognizes me without me revealing anything?"

The blue-haired girl's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a mysterious smile.

"Don't worry." She said softly, and her hand touched Yutenji Ruomai's and then separated. "As long as Miss Yutenji doesn't reveal it herself, I won't blame you."

She withdrew her hand, put on her sunglasses, and smiled brightly.

"Well, happy cooperation, my future teammates."

At this point, Yutenji Wakami officially joined Ave Mujica as a drummer.

………………

After coming out of the cafe, Yutenji Wakami suddenly wanted to go to the bathroom, so he turned around and wanted to go to the public toilet through the alley.

However, at the corner of the alley, she saw an unexpected scene——

Sanka Hatsuka pressed Toyokawa Shoko against the wall, gently pinched her chin with her fingers, and forced her to look up at her.

His mouth moved a few times, as if he said something, and then Toyokawa Shoko just blushed slightly, closed her eyes obediently, and let his lips cover her.

Yutenji Wakamugi suddenly shrank back, his heart beating faster.

(…What’s going on?)

She originally thought that although the two were lovers, Toyokawa Shoko, who had the background of the Toyokawa family, was the stronger one. However, the scene just now showed that it was obvious that Hatsuka was in the dominant position in the triangle.

(So... Toyokawa Shoko isn't necessarily a member of the Toyokawa Group? Or maybe her background isn't as exaggerated as I thought?)

She shook her lips, realizing she might have been tricked—

Toyokawa Shoko was not using the background of the "Toyokawa Group" to threaten Sanjiao Hatsuka, but he took the initiative to cooperate with his girlfriend to help form a band, which was the same as the guess she had ruled out before.

(Tsk, I got tricked...)

However, Yutenji Wakamugi had no intention of exposing the truth here and returning, because she would indeed benefit more from the stable cooperation with Sanka Hatsuka.

You don’t have to be timid when asking him to collaborate on a video in the future, just bring up this condition.

(but……)

The corners of Yutenji Wakamu's mouth suddenly curled up in a playful arc, and then he raised his mobile phone and turned on the recording function.

(…This is precious “insurance”.)

Although she didn't really intend to send this out, it could still be useful as a small bargaining chip to prevent herself from being suddenly backstabbed.

After stopping the recording, Yutenji Wakamushi tiptoed out of the alley while the two were still talking, adjusted his expression in a nearby public restroom, and then returned to the entrance of the cafe.

She deliberately slowed down her pace and pretended to have just come out of the store.

Not long after, Sankaku Hatsuka and Toyokawa Shoko also came out from the other side of the alley. Both of them had calm expressions, and there was no sign of what had just happened.

"Ah, Miao Meng, you haven't left yet?" Sanjiao Chuxia was slightly stunned when she saw her.

"I fixed my makeup a little bit~" Yutenji Wakamu replied with a smile, but her eyes lingered on Toyokawa Shoko's lips for a moment.

………………

ps: If it was said that Miao Meng couldn’t gain popularity because she couldn’t show her face, then she wouldn’t have thought of taking off her mask because of the stable cooperation with Chu Xia.

ps2: If Miao Meng always thinks Xiao Xiang’s background is terrifying, she won’t dare to fight back, and there will be less to write (

ps3: Here Xiaoxiang doesn't need Mujica to debut as quickly as possible and can directly enter the martial arts hall. With the help of "bangdream", he can enter the martial arts hall based on his own strength.

Chapter 231 [RAS] Guitarist UIKA is connecting

At seven o'clock in the evening, dusk gradually deepened.

After saying goodbye to Toyokawa Shoko, Sanjiao Hatsuka walked alone on the street back home. The street lights had just come on, stretching his shadow very long.

He was looking down at the revised version of the "Ave Mujica" project sent to him by Toyokawa Shoko on his phone, in which the code name of the newly joined Yutenji Wakami was set to "Amoris", which means "love".

According to her, what utilitarian people like Yutenji Wakami lack most is true "love", so she used this as her code name.

At this moment, Sanjiao Chuxia suddenly heard hurried footsteps behind him——

"UIKA-san! Please wait a moment!"

A familiar voice made him pause. He turned around and saw a girl in cute clothes trotting towards him, her long, dyed ponytails bouncing lightly with her movements.

"Pareo?" He was a little surprised. "What's wrong?"

The person who called out to Sanjiao Hatsuka was Pareo, the keyboardist of RAISE A SUILEN. He was one of the few band members he knew who was younger than him.

The other is CHU2.

"Great! I finally found you!" Pareo ran up to him, then looked up with an anxious look in his eyes. "UIKA-san, can you come to [RAISE A SUILEN] and be a temporary guitarist?"

"……what?"

Looking at the girl in front of him who was wearing extremely high heels and running all the way here without any disorder in her breathing, Sanjiao Chuxia showed a puzzled expression.

"Looking for me to be a temporary guitarist?"

"Yes." Pareo nodded, "Tomorrow [RAISE A SUILEN] is going to perform, but the temporary guitarist we found... suddenly can't be contacted!

I had confirmed my itinerary the day before yesterday, but since this afternoon I've been completely lost, not answering my calls or messages..."

"..."

Sanjiao Chuxia still clearly remembers that the last time he performed on stage as a temporary guitarist, he almost messed up.

Generally speaking, you wouldn't invite him knowing that something like this has happened.

As if sensing his concerns, Pareo quickly spoke up, "I know UIKA-san didn't perform well last time simply because time was tight, and CHU2-sama recognized UIKA-san's abilities after watching your previous live performance..."

"So CHU2 asked you to come to me?"

"No." She shook her head honestly. "CHU2 is still trying to find a new temporary guitarist, but the qualified people they can find are not available..."

Yes, considering the difficulty of the song "RAISE A SUILEN", it is not easy to find a guitarist who can master it and perform on stage in half a day and who happens to be available tomorrow.

Even if he asked the current Triangle Chuxia to start from scratch, he would not be very confident.

"Then I thought of UIKA-san, but I didn't know where your home was, so I asked everyone at Popipa, but they didn't know either. Luckily, I ran into UIKA-san on my way back."

"But I don't have the confidence to master the music for the entire performance in half a day..."

"No!" Pareo suddenly grabbed Sanka Hatsuka's wrist and looked at him with pleading eyes, "The repertoire is similar to last time, there are only two new songs. If it's UIKA-san, he will definitely be able to do it!"

Feeling the force on her wrist and Pareo's slightly trembling fingertips, Sanjiao Hatsuxia realized that this matter was indeed imminent.

"...Does [RAS] have its own practice space? Livehouses are closed at this time."

Hearing his words, Pareo's eyes lit up instantly and he nodded excitedly: "Yes! Yes!"

"Then take me there." Sanjiao Chuxia took out her phone and checked the time. "If we start practicing now, we should be in time, but it might be very late."

"Sure, CHU2's house is pretty big. If you're tired from practicing, you can just sleep. No problem!"

His finger paused on the phone screen for a moment: "Wait, CHU2's home?"

Pareo had already grabbed Sanjiao Chuxia's wrist and started running forward.

"RAS's practice room is right on the rooftop of CHU2's house!" She turned around and smiled brightly. "The whole floor is dedicated to CHU2, and the soundproofing is excellent. We can practice all night without getting any complaints."

"Wait, don't run so fast, let me send a message to my family first!"

………………

Passing through the brightly lit commercial district, they arrived at an upscale residential area.

When Pareo and Sanjiao Chuxia took the elevator to the top floor, the scene before them opened his eyes. Outside the tall glass curtain wall was a dazzling city night view, and there was a huge swimming pool in the open-air courtyard.

Sanjiao Hatsuka followed her across the yard to the practice room of [RAS]. The petite pink-haired girl sat in front of the sound console with her back to the door.

Hearing the door open, CHU2 kicked the chair and it spun around.

"UIKA? Why are you here?"

Before he could respond, Pareo spoke first, "Master CHU2, I asked UIKA-san to help! Doesn't UIKA-san just meet the requirements of [RAS]?"

"Hmm, I'm still contacting other guitarists..."

"But it's almost eight o'clock, Master CHU2," she said, ruthlessly exposing the truth. "It's impossible to find another guitarist if we stay any later!"

Sanjiao Hatsuxia looked at CHU2's tightly pursed lips and suddenly noticed the call logs displayed on the tablet computer at her hand - three full pages.

"Let me try," he offered. "I've already mastered the three songs last time, including 'R.I.O.T.,' so I just need to master the new songs from [RAS] before the show, right?"

CHU2's hands clenched the armrests of the chair. "...You know how difficult RAS music is, right?"

"That's why we have to hurry." Sanjiao Chuxia put down the guitar bag she had been carrying for almost the entire day and took out her white guitar. "And didn't you approve of my guitar before, Master CHU2~"

"Ah, that's my name!" Pareo protested angrily, her twin ponytails swaying slightly with her movements.

………………

P.S. I had a whole day of classes today and there are a lot of final assignments. I just finished the second update now. QWQ

ps2: Daily request for tickets and blades QWQ

Chapter 232: Pareo's Super Transformation!

"Ah, that's my name!" Pareo protested angrily, her twin ponytails swaying slightly with her movements.

The tips of CHU2's ears turned slightly red, and he put on the cat-ear headphones around his neck to hide his hesitation.

"...Now that you've said that." She jumped off the chair and handed the things on the table to Sanjiao Chuxia, "This is the entire repertoire for tomorrow's performance, including two new songs."

Sanjiao Chuxia took the music score and quickly glanced through it.

Although the difficulty is indeed higher, there is much more time than the last time I had to go on stage on the spur of the moment.

"By the way...where are the other people from [RAS]?" He looked around but didn't see any familiar figures.

"I asked Layer and Masking to go back first. We can't let them wait in vain." CHU2 looked at the girl with twin ponytails on the side, "Pareo!"

"Yes, Master CHU2!" Pareo, who was called, immediately stood up and saluted.

"Why haven't you gone home yet? It's quite late now."

Even though Pareo was always by her side, CHU2 still hadn't forgotten that Nihara Reiou had her own family. If a middle school girl didn't come home so late, her family would be worried.

"It's okay, Master CHU2!" She smiled brightly. "If we only play the recording, UIKA-san's practice will be slow. So, to let Master CHU2 rest early, I'm going to stay and play with you!"

"……up to you."

She turned around and sat back in front of the sound console, and said to Sanjiao Chuxia: "UIKA... Vaga, is it okay for you to call me that?"[1]

"Huh?" He pointed at himself in confusion, "Why did you give me an English name?"

Sanka Hatsuka knew that the official members of [RAS] all had their own English names, just like [Ave Mujica] that Toyokawa Shoko was currently forming, but was it necessary for him, a temporary guitarist, to come up with a separate name?
