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

His guitar solo followed CHU2's sheet music closely, but with a stronger emotional expression. His body moved to the rhythm, showcasing the aura of a former idol.

The strings rang loudly under his pick, blending perfectly with Pareo's brilliant keyboard sounds.

At this moment, they were completely immersed in the pure joy brought by music.

………………

The lingering sound of the last note was still echoing in the venue, and the audience had already erupted into deafening applause and cheers.

Pareo jumped up excitedly, her twin ponytails flying in the air; CHU2 rarely showed a bright smile; and Mikado Hatsuka bowed deeply, sweat dripping onto the stage.

"Encore! Encore!" the audience shouted one after another.

CHU2 took the microphone from the stand and put it to his lips. The cat-ear headphones gleamed in the light. "Thank you everyone."

Her voice carried throughout the venue through the microphone. Then, she walked down from the side of the stage with four people.

The audience continued to shout "Encore", but today's [RAS] did not take a break as usual and then go back on stage. Instead, they turned on the lights and announced the end of the performance.

There will be no encore in this performance.

………………

ps: Why did I keep using Pareo as the title in the first few chapters?

ps2: Hehe, Pareo is so cute, lively and cheerful, dressed cutely, but also has a quiet top student side, he's practically dancing on my XP...

ps3: Daily begging for tickets and blades~~~

Chapter 236 Celebration Banquet

“What a sweet, excellent, unstoppable performance!”

CHU2, who returned to the backstage lounge, seemed more excited than any other performance, and the joy on their faces could not be hidden at all.

"Vega." She turned to the tired-looking Sanjiao Chuxia, "This is the best one so far. You can rest for a while. You'll be invited to the celebration party later."

Sanjiao Hatsuxia took off her mask, leaned back on the sofa in the lounge, and nodded slightly to CHU2: "Thank you. But... why not an encore this time? The audience is so enthusiastic..."

The pink-haired girl froze while adjusting her headphones, then coughed lightly, pretending to be calm.

"Of course, they're worried that you, a temporary guitarist, can't keep up with the intensity of [RAS]. If you hit a wrong note during the encore, [RAS]'s reputation will be ruined by you!"

After saying that, she turned around angrily, not looking at Sanjiao Chuxia's expression.

He has also gradually understood how to understand CHU2's words. It is true that he is afraid that he will make mistakes, and it is also true that he cares about him.

(It's pretty cute.)

I was just about to go along with what he said, but Pareo suddenly popped his head out from the side.

"Master CHU2 is clearly worried that Vega-san is too tired! He even asked me to buy a few bottles of electrolyte drinks just now~"

"Pareo!" CHU2's ears instantly turned red. He snatched the drink and stuffed it into Sanjiao Hatsuxia's arms. "This is just basic care for the temporary members! If, if the rumor gets out that 'RAS is very harsh on temporary members', we'll find a temporary guitarist next time..."

"Yes, yes, thank you for your 'basic concern', CHU2-sama."

"Don't talk to me in that tone!"

"Hahahaha." Masking laughed in a very unkind way.

………………

Sanjiao Chuxia took a nap on the sofa in the lounge for about half an hour, and in a daze he felt someone gently patting his shoulder.

"Vega, it's time to go." Layer's gentle voice came from above, "The box for the celebration banquet has been booked."

He rubbed his eyes and sat up, only to find they were the only two left in the lounge. Layer was standing nearby, carrying his bass bag, a faint smile on his face.

"Where are Pareo and the others?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Sanjiao Chuxia suddenly noticed that the other party's gaze was a little strange.

Just as he was wondering, Layer said, "CHU2 took Pareo and Masking to the restaurant first. She told you to sleep a little longer and she'll call you when the food is almost served."

When Layer brought Sanjiao Chuxia to the restaurant, he couldn't help but be stunned.

In front of them was Tokyo's most famous high-end Wagyu restaurant, and a female attendant in a kimono was bowing respectfully to them at the door.

"here it is……?"

"CHU2 said that since it was the celebration party for [RAISE A SUILEN], of course we had to choose the best place."

Follow the female general through the quiet courtyard and come to the innermost box.

As the door opened, the aroma of barbecue hit me. CHU2 was sitting at the main table, and Pareo was carefully turning over the perfectly marbling A5 Wagyu beef with tweezers.

"It's too slow!" she complained without even looking up. "If it's any slower we'll start eating!"

Pareo waved cheerfully at the two of them, "Vega-san! Layer-san! Come over here! Master CHU2 specially ordered the super expensive limited-edition portions!"

As she spoke, she placed the freshly grilled wagyu beef on a plate and pushed it towards Triangle Hatsuka and Layer.

"Wait Pareo, isn't that mine!?"

"Isn't there already some on CHU2-sama's plate? Give these slices to Vega-san and Layer-san~"

Masking was proudly finishing off a glass of iced cola, condensation dripping onto the table. "Don't be polite. It's the producer's treat, so eat as much as you can."

Sanjiao Chuxia sat down on a seat covered with a high-quality tablecloth, with the dishes and chopsticks already prepared in front of her.

At this time, CHU2 pushed over a steaming stone pot.

"Have some oxtail soup," she added awkwardly, "...the store owner said this is a good way to replenish your nutrition if you stay up late..."

Looking at the steaming oxtail soup in front of him, Sanjiao Chuxia's mouth corners unconsciously rose.

Green chopped green onions floated on the surface of the soup, and the aroma penetrated his nose. He scooped a few spoonfuls into his bowl and took a sip. The rich umami flavor instantly blossomed on the tip of his tongue, and a warm feeling spread from his stomach to his whole body.

"Is it delicious?" Pareo asked with a blink of his eyes.

"great."

He smiled and nodded, his eyes unconsciously drifting towards CHU2 opposite him.

The celebration continued into the night, filled with laughter and joy. By the time everyone left the restaurant, the Tokyo sky was already dotted with stars. The gentle night breeze washed away the day's fatigue.

"But I was really surprised to see that the new temporary guitarist this morning was you. I didn't expect CHU2 would ask you to come."

"It wasn't CHU2-sama who asked for help~" Pareo suddenly squeezed in between the two of them, causing Sanjiao Hatsuka to subconsciously take two steps away from him. "I found Vega-san outside and asked him for help."

At that time, CHU2 was still anxiously contacting a temporary guitarist and had no intention of looking for Sanjiao Chuxia at all - and they didn't have each other's contact information.

All I can say is that Pareo was incredibly lucky to have met Sanka Hatsuka on the road, who had just finished dinner with Toyokawa Shoko.

CHU2 in front did not refute what she said after hearing it. After all, it was the fact. He was even a little embarrassed at first to let him, who had made mistakes in the previous performance of [RAS], go on stage.

The black luxury car slowly stopped in front of the tram stop. Sanjiao Chuxia opened the door and the night breeze, carrying the warmth of summer, blew towards him.

"Then I'll leave first. I'll go home at this station."

"Goodbye."

"Well, be careful on the road." Layer waved at him gently.

"Vega-san!" Pareo leaned halfway out of the car window, her twin ponytails swaying gently in the night breeze. "Thank you so much for today! See you next time!"

"If there is a chance."

Watching the luxury black car drive away, Sanjiao Chuxia took out his cell phone from his pocket, but found that it had run out of battery long ago.

It seems that the train ride is going to be very boring.

………………

P.S.: The location and food of the celebration party are all made up by me. Just know that CHU2 is a rich lolita (

Chapter 237: Do you... want to officially join [RAS]?

"I'm back--"

Sanjiao Chuxia opened the door, changed into her slippers, and found that the lights in the living room were still on.

"Welcome back~" Sanjiao Chuhua poked his head out from the sofa, holding a cup of steaming tea in his hand, "Did the performance go well?"

"It went very smoothly. It didn't go to waste last night's late-night practice."

"Huh? Is it true that Xia stayed up late to practice? I thought she was with another girl."

"!!!"

Practicing is indeed practicing, but it is also definitely being with girls, after all, the members of [RAISE A SUILEN] are all girls.

But there must be more than one reason why Sanjiao Chuhua said this.

"What's wrong, Xiaochu, why do you say such things?"

Hearing this, she looked at Sanjiao Chuxia with resentful eyes: "Not only did you let me sleep alone last night, but when I called you this morning, I heard another girl's voice.

When I called you this afternoon, I was told your phone was turned off. You haven’t responded to any of my messages yet, and you even asked me why I said that…”

"My phone's out of battery. I just realized it." He pulled his phone out of his pocket with a wry smile and waved the black screen in front of her. "From the time I woke up in the afternoon until the end of the performance, there were so many things going on that I didn't pay attention."

Sanjiao Chuhua stared into his eyes for a few seconds, then suddenly burst out laughing.

"Okay, it was just a joke." She stood up and pressed the warm cup of tea into Sanjiao Chuxia's hand. "Pareo-san already sent me a message to explain."

There were a few slices of lemon floating in the teacup, and the perfect sour and sweet taste relaxed the tense nerves of the triangle in early summer.

However, the next moment, Sanjiao Chuhua took advantage of his inattention, suddenly leaned over and sniffed his neck, then nodded with satisfaction.

"Very good, it seems that I did not lie."

The only smell on Sanjiao Hatsuka's body, apart from the smell left by normal human interactions, was the smell of barbecue, and there was no smell like the previous close contact with Wakaba Mu.

"I told you it's just a performance..." The boy shook his head helplessly, then pecked her on the lips naturally.

"Who knows? After all, there's already the precedent of Xiao Mu."

"At least to Xiaochu, I rarely lie."

He did not promise that he would never lie, after all, there would always be times when he had no choice.

Plug in your phone, which has no power left, and press and hold to turn it on.

The moment the screen lit up, a series of unread notifications popped up. In addition to the missed call from Sankaku Hatsuka, there were two missed calls from Yawata Kailing and a series of unread messages.

After looking at the date on the phone, Sanjiao Chuxia suddenly realized something and swallowed.

(Today is Monday, so it seems to be the day for [Personaction] practice...)

Sure enough, the first missed call was at one in the afternoon, and the second missed call was around three in the afternoon, which happened to be the start and end times of the band practice.

13:16

Umiri:?

Umiri: Why haven't you arrived yet?

Umiri: Please reply after seeing this.

14:51

Umiri: Practice is over, why is your phone always off?

Umiri: If you have something to say, please let me know in advance.

The message ended here, because Hachiman Kailing knew that if Sanka Hatsuka saw it, she would definitely reply. If she didn't reply, it meant she hadn't seen it, and it would be useless no matter how many times she sent it.

His fingertips paused on the redial button for a moment, and when he looked at the time, it was almost midnight. He finally decided to contact again tomorrow.

Just as Sanjiao Chuxia was about to turn off her phone and prepare to take a shower, a friend request suddenly popped up.

【CHU2 requests to add you as a friend】

After hesitating for a moment, he clicked "Accept." Almost instantly, the other party sent a message:

CHU2: I am CHU2.
