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

Chapter 11 Mio and Ritsu

It would have been better if Akiyama Mio hadn't said anything.

Upon hearing this, Ritsu Tainaka became somewhat agitated.

"What?! School bullying?! That's outrageous!"

Ritsu Tainaka rolled up his sleeves and charged forward.

Akiyama Mio tried desperately to stop her, but it was all in vain.

"No, Lu, that's a boy! Let's find..."

The words are not finished yet.

Akiyama Mio was brought to Shiraaki by Tainaka Ritsu.

The two stood guard in front of Goto Ichiri.

Facing Bai Qiu, who was much taller than her, Ritsu Tainaka showed no fear whatsoever. Instead, she spoke with a strong sense of justice:

"Let go of that girl!"

Bai Qiu was slightly taken aback and looked at the two girls in front of her in surprise. Weren't these two from the Light Music Club?

She had short, brown hair, with her bangs pulled back by a headband, revealing a fair and shiny forehead.

Ritsu Takai.

The other is a typical girl with long, straight black hair and a Hime cut fringe.

Akiyama Mio.

Moreover, unlike typical girls with long, straight black hair, this one gives off an introverted and timid vibe.

If you look closely, she's trembling, just like Ichiri Goto.

Haha, Bai Qiu suddenly found it kind of funny.

Goto Ichiri also opened his eyes, looking at the two not-so-tall figures in front of him with surprise.

I've been saved?

No, no, things seem to be getting worse!!

She should just pretend to be dead!

Bai Qiu stepped forward, "Wait, this is a misunderstanding..."

Tainaka Ritsu pulled Akiyama Mio back a step.

"Don't come any closer!"

Bai Qiu stretched out her hand: "I said, this is a misunderstanding..."

Tainaka Ritsu and Akiyama Mio took another step back and interrupted.

"If you come any closer, I'll call the police!"

At the same time, Ritsu Tainaka waved his phone.

Bai Qiu reluctantly withdrew her hand and took a step back.

Goto Ichiri, who was lying on the ground, opened his mouth, then closed it again.

Seeing that Bai Qiu was hesitant, Tainaka Ritsu also became more assertive and whispered to Mio beside him.

"So, Mio, you don't think I'm going to start a fight, do you?"

Akiyama Mio breathed a sigh of relief; she had been incredibly nervous just now.

Immediately afterwards, Ritsu Tainaka and Mio Akiyama looked back at Ichiri Goto while keeping a watchful eye on Shiraaki.

In case he suddenly attacks or runs away.

When I saw Goto Ichiri collapse on the ground.

Ritsu Tainaka exclaimed, "What did you do to her?!"

Mio Akiyama was equally worried and stepped forward to gently pick up Ichiri Goto.

what's the situation?

Bai Qiu was also a little confused, so he shrugged and said, "Would you believe me if I said I didn't do anything?"

Ritsu Tainaka retorted, "What do you think?"

"Believe it or not, I'll notify Ms. Hiratsuka at the school. You know Ms. Hiratsuka, right? She's the teacher who can smash a desk with one punch."

Although somewhat careless, Ritsu Tainaka also noticed that the two were wearing the same school uniform.

Bai Qiu's mouth gaped slightly. "Hiratsuka Shizuka-sensei, you've become famous so quickly..."

Bai Qiu's eyes darted around, and a smile appeared on his lips. He had thought of something fun.

"No, just don't tell Hiratsuka-sensei! I'll do anything you ask."

Ritsu Tainaka's eyes lit up. Is the name of Shizuka Hiratsuka really that effective?

Is simply stating one's name really that effective?

Since that's the case, hmph!

"Pay up! Apologize!"

Ritsu Tainaka stands with one hand on her hip, holding her phone high.

Bai Qiu's eyes widened as well.

Are you serious?!

I was just feeling dizzy, so I thought I'd join in your antics!

I won't do everything!

Akiyama Mio was equally incredulous, "Wait... Ritsu, this, this isn't right..."

In that case, it seems like they weren't acting as heroes!

No way... Bai Qiu felt that if she continued playing along, things might get worse and she might actually be seen as the bad guy.

Besides, it would be quite troublesome to notify Hiratsuka Shizuka!

But why isn't Goto Ichiri awake yet?

Even though I know she's prone to fainting from fright, it shouldn't have taken this long.

Shouldn't it?

She's faking fainting!

Bai Qiu felt that she had guessed the truth.

"Goto-kun, you're not awake, are you?"

Bai Qiu asked with a deep gaze.

Awake?

Ritsu Tainaka also had doubts.

Goto Ichiri was being held by Akiyama Mio.

Finally, she couldn't keep up the act any longer.

In fact, Goto Ichiri's body was trembling the whole time.

However, Akiyama Mio was also struggling and trembling, and both of them were trembling, so Mio didn't notice.

"Ah... wait... you've misunderstood..."

Goto Ichiri mustered his courage and said in a weak voice.

"Ok?"

Tainaka Ritsu looked at Goto Ichiri with surprise and suspicion.

"call……"

Seeing that Goto Ichiri had woken up, Bai Qiu let out a soft breath before speaking.

"Goto and I are friends. There was a reason for what happened just now. You can ask her if you don't believe me."

friend!

My only friend!

Goto Ichiri nodded repeatedly in shame.

"Yes, we are friends, you...you've misunderstood."

However, looking at Goto Ichiri's appearance, she was even more timid and fearful than Akiyama Mio.

Ritsu Tainaka looked at Ichiri Goto with suspicion, even suspecting that he had been threatened.

"Is this true? Don't be afraid, young man."

"Mio and I will protect you."

Despite her fear, Akiyama Mio nodded firmly.

Bai Qiu stared wide-eyed in surprise, looking at Goto Ichiri with a sense of helplessness.

"Really not..."

Despite saying that, Goto Ichiri's gaze wavered.

Bai Qiu clutched his chest, feeling a pang of heartache. Had he set his expectations too high for Yi Li?

Ichiri Goto: I just can't look strangers in the eye o(╥﹏╥)o

In the end, it was up to Bai Qiu herself to explain... to be misunderstood... to clarify... to be misunderstood again... to explain again, to clarify again...

Ritsu Tainaka and Mio Akiyama finally believed it.

However, when Bai Qiu revealed the chat history with Goto Ichiri, Tainaka Ritsu almost made a phone call again.

The two of them now stood with their heads down, looking ashamed, like children who had made a mistake, being punished in front of Bai Qiu.

"Ah... I'm so sorry, Shiraaki-kun, you should have said earlier that you were Hiratsuka-sensei's student."

Ritsu Tainaka scratched the back of his head apologetically, then clasped his hands together.

Then she looked at Goto Ichiri, who was huddled to the side. This girl seemed even more shy than Mio-chan.

Akiyama Mio blushed with embarrassment and said sincerely, "I'm so sorry! Shiraaki-kun, I've caused you trouble!"

Please forgive us! x2

The two of them clasped their hands together in unison.

Bai Qiu nodded and gladly accepted the apology. To his surprise, the system even gave him a musical note reward for meeting the two people here, so there was nothing to be angry about.

"Besides, have you ever seen a bad guy as handsome as me?"

Narcissistic!

The three girls had this thought.

Although they don't deny Bai Qiu's good looks.

However, Goto Ichiri also felt that those popular and good-looking leaders in the class were often the ones who bullied others.

But she didn't dare to say it.

"It's all Mio's fault for spouting nonsense about school bullying!"

Ritsu Tainaka tilted his head and muttered to himself.

"What! You idiot, Ritsu, it was you who suddenly rushed up."

Akiyama Mio immediately retorted.

"Oh, I was just doing a heroic act!"

"Then you shouldn't have threatened Bai Qiu just now."

"That was just a joke. Bai Qiu doesn't look like a bad person at all."

Listening to their conversation, Bai Qiu waved his hand with a serious expression.

"Hmm... thankfully the misunderstanding has been cleared up, so don't argue because of me."

Goto Ichiri felt out of place watching everyone else having a good time.

"Yes, yes! In that case, we'll take our leave now. Bai Qiu is such a kind person!"

Feeling embarrassed and ashamed, Ritsu Tainaka prepared to slip away.

"Goodbye, Bai Qiu, and goodbye, Goto."

Akiyama Mio and Tainaka Ritsu gradually drifted away amidst their playful antics.

Actually, after seeing the guitar, Ritsu Tainaka originally wanted to persuade Ichiri Goto to join the light music club and become its guitarist.

However, after such an incident, in this awkward situation, one is either too embarrassed to bring it up again, or one simply forgets about it.

After the two left, Bai Qiu chuckled lightly, while Goto Ichiri felt guilty again.

"Goto-san..."

Bai Qiu slowly looked at Goto Ichiri.

"sorry!"

Goto Ichiri pretended to kneel down again.

"Don't!"

"Goto-kun, stop kneeling."

Bai Qiu quickly stopped him, knowing that if Goto Ichiri knelt down again so easily, who knew what kind of trouble he might cause.

"I didn't mean to blame you, Ichiri."

In her haste, Bai Qiu blurted out the name.

In a daze, Goto Ichiri shuddered, "Ah, yes."

"Alright, tell me why you called me to the park."

Goto Ichiri felt guilty after making such a scene.

Goto Ichiri then began to explain her social anxiety and her inability to unleash her true potential in front of outsiders.

"So that's all!" Bai Qiu understood and offered words of comfort.

"Alright, I know all of this. Don't worry, I won't give up on you because of this."

how do you know?

Although Goto Ichiri was puzzled, upon hearing what Bai Qiu said, he smiled for the first time that day.

"Doesn't your smile look good?"

Bai Qiu praised him, saying, "Let's start encouraging Boqi-chan from now on!"

Goto Ichiri's face turned rosy.

"Wow! A guitar!"

This voice!

That's right this time!

Bai Qiu cried with joy.

There's no need for Bai Qiu to turn back.

The owner of the voice is the archangel of Shimokitazawa.

He had already jogged up to the two of them.
