Chapter 1076

Akaso Kaze was pulled back to his thoughts, returned the phone to the bubbly woman, and asked, "Does your leader always sleep like this?"

"Ah," the bubbly woman was completely confused by Akaso Kaze, "Ogie has always been like this when she sleeps. She says this position is the most comfortable."

"It seems I was right."

Akaso Kaze crossed his arms and muttered aloud.

No matter how he looked at it, it seemed like an incident; the possibility of it being a misunderstanding was quite small.

"Miss Yuiko," Akaso Kaze finally asked the confused bubbly woman, "Can you tell me in detail about the band member who passed away earlier? Was it a traffic accident or suicide?"

"It was an accident," although the bubbly woman didn't know the reason for Akaso Kaze's questions, she explained, "A little boy ran a red light and ran onto the road to pick up a soccer ball. Akane was hit by a car while trying to save that child."

"Then what does your leader have to do with this?" Akaso Kaze frowned.

"Ogie? Although she feels Akane's death is her fault, it can't be blamed on her. Akane's throat was damaged at that time, so she followed Ogie's advice and couldn't make a sound until her throat recovered.

As a result, witnesses at the scene of the accident said that Akane didn't call out to stop the child, but instead rushed over to save the person."

"So that's how it is."

Hearing the bubbly woman's explanation, Akaso Kaze didn't continue asking questions, but only said, "Can you call the other two over as well?"

"Ah?" The bubbly woman was stunned.

Not long after, amidst the crying of the women, Akaso Kaze walked out of the recording studio alone, his expression calm when he returned to the underground lounge.

He had already understood most of the situation and had also talked to the ponytail woman and the others in person.

The ponytail woman, who was closest to Akane, had been hit hard by the accident and had been bedridden with illness for a while, so she had always thought Akane committed suicide.

The reason Akane's throat was ruined was that the leader had been drunk and said something foolish once, and afterward, she didn't let Akane continue as the lead vocalist, and then the accident happened.

The ponytail woman felt that her friend had run the red light and committed suicide because of this, which was why she wanted to kill the leader for revenge, but in reality, the leader had also privately regretted her drunken words and had been working hard to help Akane recover her voice.

Although it was very unfortunate, if the ponytail woman had actually gone through with it this time, that would have been the real tragedy, right?

"What's wrong?" Seeing Akaso Kaze return, a hint of doubt flashed in Ran's eyes, as she felt something had happened.

"Nothing," Akaso Kaze smiled, "The time is almost up. Have you decided who will be the lead vocalist? The song I wrote might be a bit difficult."

0.. 0

"Lead vocalist?"

Sonoko stiffened, and Ran was also dumbfounded.

They had completely forgotten the most important thing.

"S—should we find the guitarist first…"

"Whoosh!"

A week later, it was raining heavily in Tokyo. The streets were full of puddles, pedestrians were in a hurry, and there were far fewer vehicles on the road.

Akaso Kaze went out with an umbrella and was almost drenched by rainwater splashed up by car tires.

"Seriously…"

Watching the car drive away, Akaso Kaze sighed softly.

It was annoying enough to go out for work in this weather, and today he had to solve his own meal problem as well.

Come to think of it, it was all because of Sonoko's band dream. After meeting that girl band at the recording studio, Sonoko seemed determined to form her own girl band.

After failing to find suitable candidates at Teitan High School, she actually dragged Ai along.

Heaven knows how Ai happened to know how to play the guitar and also became interested in the band.

Akaso Kaze took out his newly bought phone to check the time.
