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

Chapter 41 saw me in such a sorry state again.

Amusement park, central square, in front of the fountain.

Bai Qiu and several girls from the Light Music Club run a business here.

At the beginning, everyone was full of fighting spirit.

But soon, the group gradually realized that something seemed amiss.

"that……"

"I... feel... getting hotter?"

"Xiao Qiu, where are you?"

Hirasawa Yui, who is most sensitive to temperature, said intermittently that she already wanted to take off the hood.

"Me too."

My face was covered in sweat.

Mio Akiyama and Ritsu Tainaka also sighed in agreement.

This part-time job is much harder than the one I did in Shimokitazawa a while ago!

"That's only natural. The hoods are so thick, we're stuffed in there and can't breathe at all."

Bai Qiu explained, panting.

"Moreover, the sun seems to be getting bigger and bigger."

Although it was expected, it's much hotter than I imagined.

At this moment, Bai Qiu suddenly felt...

Fanxing's part-time job is so enjoyable.

A cool basement, free air conditioning, a free drink, and free live streaming.

According to Hongxia, the drinks were originally unlimited, since they only cost a few dollars.

However, given that Yamada Ryo drinks heavily and even occasionally takes extra-large bottles home,

Ichiji Hoshika had no choice but to issue this treaty.

However, Hongxia also said that it's actually okay to drink more.

This treaty was primarily aimed at Yamada Ryo.

However, it's advisable not to drink too many carbonated beverages!

Hongxia, I miss you!

"No!"

Ritsu Tainaka was the first to remove his hood.

Hirasawa could only follow suit.

"Idiot, you'll be found out."

Akiyama Mio reminded.

"You'll get fined."

Bai Qiu added.

Upon hearing that their pay would be deducted, the lawyers and Daiwei quickly put their hoods back on.

Wei's hood was on backwards.

"By the way, from now until now, it seems like Kotsumi hasn't said a single word."

Bai Qiu said suddenly.

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately looked in the direction where Kotobuki Tsumugi was.

"Could he have fainted from the heat inside?"

The legal team analyzed.

"Waaaaah, Tsumugi, don't die!"

Hirasawa Yui cried out.

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Bai Qiu tapped Wei through the mascot costume.

Akiyama Mio asked worriedly, "Tsumugi, are you alright?"

"..."

The koto player remained motionless.

"Um... Tsumugi, don't scare me..."

Akiyama Mio was a little scared.

Bai Qiu stepped forward and removed Kotobuki Tsumugi's headgear.

Kotobuki Tsumugi blinked her big, innocent eyes.

"Wow!"

"Wow?"

Everyone looked at her with puzzled expressions.

"Tsumugi, are you alright?"

"Why don't you speak?"

Kotobuki Tsumugi explained,

"I was trying to scare you."

"But it seems to have failed."

"..."

Yui Hirasawa spoke up, "Tsumugi, aren't you hot?"

Kotobuki Tsumugi pondered for a moment, "It's alright, it's dark inside, which seems quite interesting."

When everyone looked at her face, they realized that there wasn't a single drop of sweat on it, and they couldn't help but feel envious.

Bai Qiu couldn't help but wonder if the system could grant him a constitution that makes him feel warm in winter and cool in summer.

……

Finally, it was time for a break.

Everyone quickly took off their headgear.

The heat that had gathered on my head dissipated quickly, and I could barely feel a slight coolness.

Except for Tsumugi, all the girls were drenched in sweat.

Everyone took out tissues and wiped the fine sweat from their foreheads.

"It's starting to smoke overhead..."

"yes……"

Clearly, no one had the energy to speak.

Bai Qiu saw a vending machine and said,

"What would you like to drink? It's on me."

Team Leader Lu's eyes lit up. "Qiu-kun! I knew I hadn't misjudged you."

Ahem, this really embarrassed Bai Qiu.

On the one hand, it is indeed necessary to drink iced drinks to cool down.

On the other hand, he felt that there should be a system reward for treating everyone to drinks.

Wei: "Cola!"

Law: "I want a Coke too."

Kotsumaki hesitated for a moment, then said, "Me too."

Eight eyes were fixed on Mio.

Akiyama Mio's face was slightly flushed, whether from the heat or something else, it was hard to tell.

"I... mineral water will do, thank you..."

"OK!"

Bai Qiu walked up to the vending machine.

Kotobuki Tsumugi watched from afar, very curious; she also wanted to go and see that big machine.

Bai Qiu selected the drinks everyone wanted and then bought a few extra bottles of mineral water in case they needed them in the afternoon.

In addition, Bai Qiu was pleasantly surprised to find that the drinks in this amusement park were priced the same as those in convenience stores, at normal prices.

.........

Shoko Toyokawa has noticed that it's becoming increasingly difficult to find suitable part-time jobs in Shimokitazawa lately.

I heard from the owner of a part-time job shop that...

Several female students have recently been going to Shimokitazawa in groups to work part-time, taking on a lot of work.

Fortunately, this weekend.

She found a satisfactory part-time job.

They wear mascot costumes in this amusement park to help attract customers.

This job is quite tough, but the hourly wage is much higher than that of a typical part-time job.

Under the shade of a tree, Toyokawa Shoko sat alone.

Everyone nearby seemed to be with someone.

Xiangzi put his fingers together and kept fanning his cheeks.

However, it seems that the more you fan it, the hotter it gets.

The fanned air was hot, and my arms were getting increasingly sore from the swinging motion.

But she didn't stop.

It's probably because fanning yourself like that has a psychological effect.

Suddenly, Toyokawa Shoko noticed several girls from the light music club under the shade of the tree across the street.

The liveliness belongs to them...

Xiangzi had seen several girls from the light music club at school because they always walked together carrying their instruments.

They're from the same band, right?

Suddenly, Toyokawa Shoko seemed to understand something.

Those young women who started working in Shimokitazawa are probably them!

The girl with blond hair caught Toyokawa Shoko's attention a little.

Kotobuki Tsumugi, the only eldest daughter of the Kotobuki family.

Shoko Toyokawa knew her.

Xiangzi had met the other person at a banquet a long time ago.

However, the other party probably didn't recognize her, so Toyokawa Shoko was relatively at ease.

I heard that this girl is well protected by the Kotobuki family.

She does not participate in any family affairs and is deeply loved by her family, like a precious pearl held in their palm.

Therefore, she has a very simple personality.

but,

Why would someone come to work in a place like this?

Toyokawa Shoko was puzzled.

Are you down on your luck like me?

Watching Kotobuki Tsumugi talking with his companions from afar, his face beamed with a genuine and happy smile.

Toyokawa Shoko was even more confused.

Despite the sweltering heat, they are doing such strenuous work.

How could she be so happy?

Why can't I laugh at all?

Suddenly, Toyokawa Shoko's pupils contracted, and her expression tensed.

…………

"I am back!"

Bai Qiu carried the drinks and returned to the girls.

He had already started drinking himself.

"We're saved!!" x2

The action of the law of harmony is the most rapid.

Next is Tsumugi, and last is Mio.

Suddenly, Bai Qiu glanced around and noticed something.

After giving the girls some instructions, Bai Qiu walked off in a certain direction amidst their puzzled looks.

Toyokawa Shoko quickly lowered her head, her eyebrows trembling.

Seeing Bai Qiu here today, she felt more surprised than delighted.

If possible, she doesn't want anyone she knows to see that she's working part-time.

This was a punishment for her, who was so proud.

The only thing that gives Toyokawa Shoko a little peace of mind right now is that the other party is also working part-time.

However, she really didn't want to see anyone in her current state.

She had sweated a lot while wearing the mascot costume, and her back was still a little damp.

Toyokawa Shoko had no idea what kind of smell she was giving off.

But she thought it must smell bad.

please!

Please!

Don't go any further!

Bai Qiujun.

Please pretend you didn't see me, okay?

Toyokawa Shoko kept praying in her heart.

Oh, right, the headgear!

As long as I wear a hood and pretend I'm at work, I won't be recognized.

Toyokawa Shoko's face lit up with joy, and she immediately took action.

"Toyokawa-san."

Hey!

Xiangzi sighed inwardly.

Why do you always appear when I'm in such a sorry state?

Stupid Qiu Jun, couldn't you have chosen a better time?!

Of course, this was just what she thought.

Toyokawa Shoko wasn't really angry.

"Ah, Bai Qiujun, what a coincidence..."

Toyokawa Shoko managed a weak smile.

Would you like a drink?

Bai Qiu handed over some water, "But we only have bottled water left."

"Oh no... no need."

Toyokawa Shoko wanted to refuse, but her hands were already feeling cold.

Bai Qiu had already put the water in her hand.

"You wouldn't want me carrying so many drinks, would you?"

Bai Qiu gestured to the extra drink in her hand, saying, "My hand is sore."

"Okay... thank you."

The familiar words made Toyokawa Shoko subconsciously recall the scene from last night, and she tightened her grip on her drink slightly.

"Oh, right!"

"How about we consider this an apology for last night? You mustn't mention that incident again, Toyokawa-kun."

Bai Qiu suddenly said jokingly.

"No need to pay compensation... No, that won't do!"

Toyokawa Shoko turned her face away, "You're the one who made me fall and get hurt..."

Do you think you can distance yourself from yourself just by using a bottle of water? Of course not.

"But you said last night that there was no need to apologize."

"Last night was last night, now is now."

Toyokawa Shoko defended herself.

"Eh……"

Seeing Bai Qiu get the short end of the stick, Toyokawa Shoko was actually quite pleased.

At this moment, several girls from the Light Music Club waved and called out to Bai Qiu, indicating that their break time was about to end and it was time to get back to work.

So Bai Qiu had no choice but to say...

"Toyokawa-kun, I'll head over now."

"okay."

Toyokawa Shoko nodded.

Looking at the members of the Light Music Club again, Toyokawa Shoko's feelings were somewhat complicated.

On your side, are there a lot too many girls?

Hirasawa Yui, who was a bit dazed, immediately noticed Toyokawa Shoko's gaze.

Her smile widened, and she waved her arms even more vigorously.

If it weren't so hot, she might have rushed over and made friends with Xiangzi.

Shoko Toyokawa nodded slightly awkwardly, unsure if Yui Hirasawa could see it.

.........

I don’t know how long it took.

My morning part-time job is finally over.

At noon, the amusement park provided boxed lunches, which tasted alright.

In the afternoon, I continued my arduous part-time job.

In the evening, I got off work.

The sun has gone offline, and the weather has cooled down.

Finally, the free play session that everyone had been eagerly anticipating arrived.

However, everyone was exhausted.

As a result, after casually trying out a few games, Bai Qiu and several girls took a group photo on the Ferris wheel using the camera that Qiu Shanmiao carried with her.

And so the day came to an end.

It feels like the amusement park tricked me.
