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

Chapter 275 Tokyo Bay

When Bai Qiu arrived at her doorstep, she heard faint guitar music coming from inside the house.

Sure enough, when the door opened, Metty was sitting alone on the sofa, playing a pink guitar.

"Bai Qiu, you're back!"

Noticing Bai Qiu, Motis stopped and greeted her with excited shouts.

Then came a series of heavy footsteps.

After not seeing Bai Qiu for a day, Motis was starting to miss him.

Therefore, the moment she noticed Bai Qiu enter the room, she dropped her guitar, her eyes shining, and ran over, intending to give Bai Qiu a loving hug.

"Xiao Mo, stop fooling around."

Before Metis could hug him, Bai Qiu stretched out five fingers and easily pressed them onto Metis's forehead.

"Why won't you let me hug you?!"

Motis widened her eyes and looked at Bai Qiu with a questioning expression, her outstretched arms still hanging in mid-air.

Of course, he couldn't let down Aine's trust in him.

"Xiao Mo..." Bai Qiu earnestly instructed, "Girls shouldn't hug boys casually; this is called 'men and women should not touch each other.'"

“I know all this,” Motis protested, struggling with her arms. “Let me hold you! Let me hold you!”

Bai Qiu's expression was slightly strange.

Oh no, could Xiao Mu really like him?

No, Mottis is Mottis, and Ruoye Mu is Ruoye Mu; they cannot be generalized.

"It's raining, and I'm a little wet."

Bai Qiu spoke slowly, then gestured to the wet umbrella in her hand, and placed it aside to dry.

Mortis blinked, looked closely, and then laughed.

"OK then!"

Bai Qiu easily dealt with Motisi, and instead led her into the house by Bai Qiu's hand.

Noticing that Su Shi seemed to be absent, Bai Qiu asked, "Where is Su Shi?"

Su Shi is still in school.

Motis told Bai Qiu the truth, "Su Shi said she's going to participate in the wind band's ensemble today and will be back later."

Hehe! If Su Shi doesn't go home, it'll be just her and Bai Qiu in their own little world.

"okay, I get it."

Bai Qiuming nodded in understanding, then casually asked, "Xiao Mo, how's your guitar practice going?"

As she spoke, Bai Qiu's gaze shifted down to the floor.

He noticed that Metty was barefoot again, her small, round toes gently touching the smooth floor.

Motis has a bad habit.

At home, I don't like to wear shoes; I prefer to run around barefoot.

At first, Bai Qiu felt a little helpless, but after thinking about it, she realized it wasn't a big deal and let it go.

Anyway, the floors at home are pretty clean, as long as Motish doesn't catch a cold.

"Hmm...it's alright," Mortis replied, counting on her fingers.

"Then you can rest for a while, or continue practicing. I'll go cook," Bai Qiu said.

Since Su Shi has club activities today, he must be quite tired when he gets back, so Bai Qiu decided that he would cook for him today.

"Then I want to cook with you."

"Okay, Xiao Mo, what would you like to eat?"

"Momordica charantia."

"Isn't it a cucumber?"

……

After some time, Bai Qiu had almost finished cooking the dishes and the rice.

But Su Shi still hasn't returned.

Bai Qiu felt something was off.

In the past, even if Su Shi went to participate in the brass band practice, she could usually come back before dinner.

Given Su Shi's personality, even if there were special circumstances today, he should have found an opportunity to send him a message in the middle of the day to avoid making him worry, but this time he didn't say anything.

Without waiting any longer, Bai Qiu took out her phone and called Su Shi, but no one answered.

Is your phone out of battery?

Bai Qiu thought to herself with some confusion and sent a few more messages to Su Shi.

Although I don't have any particularly bad premonition.

But Su Shi hadn't returned so late, nor had she replied to any messages. Bai Qiu glanced at the rain outside the French windows and was still worried. He decided to go to the Moon Forest after all.

"Xiao Mo, if you're hungry, eat first. I'll go to Moon Forest to find Su Shi."

"Bai Qiu, I'll go with you."

Metis stood up, wanting to go with her.

Bai Qiu shook her head and smiled at her, "It's raining, I can go by myself."

"Don't worry, we'll be back soon."

As she spoke, Bai Qiu quickly put on her shoes, picked up her umbrella, and opened the door...

……

Tokyo Bay.

The wind and rain at the dock are much stronger than in the city.

The torrential rain pounded on the sea, only to be swallowed up and become part of it.

The sea breeze howled, whipping up waves that crashed violently against the boats moored on the shore, sending sprays of water flying high.

The workers at the dock ahead, all wearing dark raincoats, were moving in and out of the warehouse, deftly carrying goods despite the wind and rain.

The work needs to be completed before the storm arrives.

About a few dozen meters away, Nagasaki Motoyo sat under a small newsstand, looking somewhat out of place.

Su Shi wasn't foolish enough to stand in the rain and get soaked.

But the cessation of tabloid coverage only provided temporary shelter; the rain would still be blown in by the wind.

But Nagasaki Motoyo felt that this actually made her more energetic.

With her tears stopped, Su Shi looked beyond the railing at the boundless sea, lost in thought.

At that moment, a dockworker suddenly stopped and stood still, looking in the direction of Nagasaki Motoyo.

This worker was Kiyoshi Toyokawa.

As Bai Qiu said, as long as he steps out of his home to find a job, he can easily find one that can support him. So, Toyokawa Kiyoko is currently working as a dockworker as a temporary job.

This kind of strenuous physical work was really not good for his back, which was already a middle-aged man who had been sitting in an office for long periods of time, had been drinking heavily for more than half a year, and was getting on in years.

Now, Toyokawa Kiyoko has some doubts.

That child over there looks like Xiangzi's friend?

Before he was kicked out of the Toyokawa family, and when Shoko was still attending school in Tsukimori, Shoko had shown him pictures of Crychic.

Therefore, Kiyotaka Toyokawa had some impression of what the five members of Crychic looked like, but not much.

So he wasn't very sure.

In this awful weather, it's a bit strange to sit there all alone.

Toyokawa Kiyoshi thought to himself.

"Hey, Toyokawa! What are you doing? Don't slack off, or the supervisor will dock your pay if he sees you."

"Come help me lift this box, it's so heavy."

Toyokawa Kiyoshi jumped up and quickly replied, "Okay, I'll be right there."

However, taking advantage of this brief moment, he quickly took out his phone from his pocket and snapped a picture of Nagasaki Motoyo not far away.

It was sent to Bai Qiu, along with a message and location.

[Bai Qiujun, this girl looks like a friend of Xiangzi's from his old band? Do you know her? I've seen her sitting there alone for a while, and her expression doesn't seem right; it's a little worrying.]

If you are Xiangzi's friend, could you please pass on this message to Xiangzi and inform her parents? If it's me who made the mistake, then I apologize for bothering you!

Xiangzi blocked me, so you're the only one I can contact.

Toyokawa Kiyoko added a helpless emoji and sighed helplessly.

"Toyokawa, why aren't you here yet?"

"I'm coming!"

……

Outside Tsukimori Academy.

Bai Qiu's complexion was not good.

The gate to Moon Forest was locked, even though he was able to climb in, despite the fact that the top of the more than 3-meter-high iron gate was covered with spikes.

But he just asked the security guard at the Moon Forest gatehouse, and the guard said that the club activities had ended and the students had all left.

Bai Qiu asked a few more students who left late, but didn't get any useful information.

Where did Su Shi go?

Bai Qiu thought with worry.

Just then, the phone rang several times in a row. Bai Qiu hurriedly looked at the phone, thinking that Su Shi had finally replied.

However, a quick glance at the news of Toyokawa Kiyoshi's accusation revealed...

Bai Qiu's expression changed, and he hurriedly stopped the taxi that had brought him there, which was about to drive away.

"Tokyo Bay, XX Pier! Quickly!"
