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

Chapter 166 Mana and Hatsuka

After school.

After saying goodbye to Aiyin and Deng, Bai Qiu left the classroom.

I had a feeling that Aine and Akari looked at him strangely all afternoon.

However, both of them were in much better condition than in the morning.

This should be good news.

Afterwards, Bai Qiu arrived at the Light Music Club with bags and bags of snacks.

In the past, Kotobuki Tsumugi always prepared expensive and delicious snacks for everyone, so it was only occasionally his turn to repay everyone.

Regarding the snacks that Bai Qiu brought.

After thanking them, the girls began to share the food without any hesitation.

After the cultural festival, the Light Music Club returned to its usual leisurely days of drinking tea and chatting.

……after.

After leaving the Light Music Club and walking out of the school gate, Bai Qiu did not go straight home.

He plans to buy a violin to play with.

He had previously redeemed a level 1 violin in the system, but had not yet had the chance to try it out.

This week, his violin skill was upgraded to level 3.

A true professional player.

This means I have to buy a zither so I can show off my skills to Xiangzi when I get back.

Using map navigation, Bai Qiu took a taxi to a music store that sells classical musical instruments.

After trying it out, Bai Qiu bought a violin that she was satisfied with.

After leaving the music store, Bai Qiu suddenly stopped in front of a building.

SU Office?

Bai Qiu looked surprised.

He searched his person and quickly found the business card that Hongxia had asked him to keep, which belonged to Saito Kyoko.

I compared it with the address and picture on the business card.

It really is the same firm.

How did I end up here?

Bai Qiu smiled and turned to leave.

"Hey! Wait a minute."

Just as he was passing by a woman, she suddenly reached out and grabbed his arm.

Bai Qiu was forced to stop, glancing sideways at the other person with a hint of doubt.

"Is there a problem?"

After asking the question, Bai Qiu carefully examined the face again, feeling that it looked somewhat familiar.

"Don't you recognize me?" Junta Mana blinked her bright eyes, then pulled her mask up a little.

He was dressed in his familiar baseball cap and face mask.

Bai Qiu asked with some surprise:

"Ms. Donut?"

"Eh, Ms. Donut?" Junda Mana's eyes widened.

"This is the nickname I gave you," Bai Qiu explained.

"How can you address me like that?" Junta Mana glared at Bai Qiu, slightly annoyed.

"You didn't know the name before, did you?" Bai Qiu said casually.

“That seems to be true.” Junta Mana tilted her head, her expression seemingly agreeing.

"I never expected that you would be Junda Mana from Sumimi."

Bai Qiu said with some emotion at this moment.

Now he recognizes the faces of the two members of the Sumimi duo.

"Uh-huh!"

Junda Mana wasn't surprised to be recognized; instead, she raised her chin with a hint of smugness.

"I told you I'm an idol, but you still didn't believe me."

Bai Qiu smiled helplessly.

Sure enough, people cannot be judged by their appearance.

Then, Junda Mana asked curiously, "What are you doing here?"

"It's nothing, I just happened to be passing by," Bai Qiu replied quickly.

"Is that so..." Junda Mana looked at Bai Qiu thoughtfully, recalling his expression as he looked inside earlier. She pinched her chin and analyzed, "Do you want to go in and take a look?"

Bai Qiu hesitated for a moment.

What the donut lady said really piqued his curiosity.

Bai Qiu's hesitation was noticed by Junda Mana, who simply wanted to go inside and take a look.

After all, ordinary people are always curious about things like talent agencies and idols.

Junda Mana decides to help Bai Qiu.

Bai Qiu had also helped her and was someone who patiently listened to her complaints online, so Junda Mana was particularly kind to Bai Qiu.

“Let me show you around, Mana!” Junta Mana smiled.

"Is it alright?" Bai Qiu asked, "Can I bring anyone in?"

"It's alright, it's alright." Junda Mana waved her hand dismissively, reminding her, "Just no photos allowed."

"Then please."

Bai Qiu agreed.

The donut lady seemed very enthusiastic.

Since it was a kind offer, he decided not to refuse.

Since he had nothing else to do at the moment, there was no harm in going in and taking a look.

Consider it gathering information for the future end of the band and Mygo's debut.

The two had only taken two steps when Junda Mana seemed to suddenly remember something.

She suddenly turned to look at Bai Qiu and asked:

"By the way, you already know my name, but I still don't know yours."

"That's right, Bai Qiu," Bai Qiu replied with a smile.

Mana Junda nodded happily, her face beaming with a bright smile.

Then, Bai Qiu followed Junda Mana and walked through the automatic glass door.

Junta Mana took out a card and swiped it lightly on the sensor area. With a "beep," the gate opened, and the two walked in one after the other.

Take the elevator.

Junta Mana tilted her head and said to Bai Qiu, "Let's go to the lounge to put our things down first."

"Ok."

Bai Qiu nodded in agreement.

"By the way, don't be too surprised to see my partner later!"

Junda Mana reminded him with a smile.

Most people can't take their eyes off Chu Hua's face.

Bai Qiu was slightly taken aback, as a distant memory was stirred within her.

Triangle blossoms...

Friends from a small island where I lived as a child.

However, it is still uncertain whether it is Chu Hua, whom he knows.

Even if she does, I don't know if she still recognizes me.

Just as Bai Qiu was stunned for a moment, Junda Mana earnestly instructed Bai Qiu again: "Also, you can't say any of the complaints I made to you on Line."

"Okay, okay." Bai Qiu agreed to everything, and to reassure Ms. Donut, he added, "I'll keep my mouth shut."

Seeing this, Junda Mana was very satisfied and patted Bai Qiu on the shoulder, saying, "I knew I hadn't misjudged you."

Soon, they arrived at the door of a lounge.

Junda Mana knocked on the door, then pushed it open and cheerfully called out:

"Chuhua, we... um, I'm back."

"welcome……"

Upon hearing the shout, Mitsuba Hatsuka, who was in the room, instinctively turned around and looked at the door.

But in an instant, her smile, which had been as gentle as the warm spring sun, suddenly froze.

Because what appeared before her eyes, besides Mana, was another face she had seen countless times in the video, a face that haunted her dreams.

Sanjiao Chuhua's purple eyes stopped trembling, and her gaze remained fixed on Bai Qiu.

"Hatsuka, I'm sorry, I brought a friend along for a visit." Junda Mana clasped her hands together, smiled slightly, and explained apologetically to Misaka Hatsuka, "Don't worry, it won't bother us."

Is Aki Mana's friend?

Misaka Chuka looked somewhat bewildered.

How could she not know that Mana knew Shiraaki, and that their relationship was so close that she could bring him to visit the agency...?

She clearly fantasized about having such an opportunity.

Sanjiao Chuhua bit her lip.

At this moment, Bai Qiu smiled and waved to Sanjiao Chuhua:

"Hello, I'm Mana's friend, Shiraaki."

Sanjiao Chuhua was immersed in complex thoughts.

Junda Mana glanced at Bai Qiu beside her, then looked at Chu Hua strangely. Why did it seem like Chu Hua was bewitched by Bai Qiu?

Seeing that Chu Hua didn't speak, Junda Mana stepped forward and waved in front of her.

"Chuhua, are you feeling unwell?"

"Y-you...hello!" Sanjiao Chuhua suddenly stood up, her skirt trailing down, she seemed a little reserved, "I am Sanjiao Chuhua, welcome Bai Qiu."

Looking at that magnificent face before me, and remembering the eye contact we just had.

If ten out of ten, Bai Qiu was eight or nine percent certain that the other person was her childhood friend.

Just as Bai Qiu was thinking about finding an opportunity to ask him.

A voice came from behind.

"Hatsuka, Mana, it's time to prepare for filming."

Kyoko Saito walked to the door and looked into the lounge to give a reminder.

Then, upon seeing Bai Qiu, she looked surprised: "Mr. Bai Qiu?"
