A world only known by the God of Lost Love

........................

"As you can see, Suzuki-kun...I...can actually play the guitar a little bit."

During the lunch break, Ichiri Goto held his guitar and said to Ren Suzuki:

"In terms of level, I can't say it's very high... but... for the time being... it should be considered fair..."

"……really."

When he saw the guitar case, Suzuki Ren basically guessed what she wanted to say.

"So, why didn't you say it when I introduced you? You obviously wanted to show this to everyone at the time, right?"

"Because I'm worried that everyone will not believe what I say...or that everyone is simply not interested in this kind of thing..."

"Even so, it would be better than saying nothing, right?"

Ren Suzuki couldn't help but said helplessly:

"Rather than being ignored because you have no bright spots, wouldn't it be better to leave the impression that you can play the guitar?"

"This... I actually thought about it afterward. If I don't do anything, although the situation I imagined will not happen, the situation will not change at all."

Goto Ichiri shrank his neck.

"But I was so nervous at the time that I couldn't make a sound anyway... When I calmed down a little and found that no one was paying attention to me anymore, I had no choice but to sit down."

"Ugh……"

Ren Suzuki rarely maintained her usual smile, but showed an expression of hatred for steel.

This child is filled with a feeling called "regret" from head to toe.

He obviously has an appearance that is almost equal to that of an idol, but it is completely concealed by his excessively long bangs and the meaningless sportswear.

She obviously has guitar skills that can earn her a lot of recognition, but she never dares to show them because of some unfounded worries.

After learning about Ichiri Goto's secret, Ren Suzuki's image of her became more complete.

At this time, he has seen through all the contradictions in Goto Isato, and also knows her biggest appeal and wish.

If you want to implement the strategy, then Suzuki Ren only needs to listen to Goto Ichiri's performance symbolically, and give her recognition and praise without thinking.It doesn't take long to imagine that this girl who has always longed for the recognition and attention of others will become completely dependent on her own encouragement, and will easily become a "doll" at his mercy.

But...this is not the result Suzuki Ren is pursuing.

In addition to the "Strategy", he also wants to help Goto Ichiri get out of her inferiority complex and loneliness, and help her gain the strength and courage to face the future even after falling out of love.

Thinking of this, Ren Suzuki put away all the gentleness and peace on her face, and turned to look at Gotou Ichiri seriously.

"Goto-san."

"Yes!"

"Can you let me listen to your performance for a while? Of course, I'm not doubting the authenticity of what you just said, I just want to confirm your level."

"No, no problem!"

Gotou Issato nodded vigorously.

"Actually, the reason why I brought my guitar here today...is because I want Suzuki-san to listen to my performance."

"Is that so..."

"Also... although I dare not show myself in real life, I actually have my own video account on YouTube... I often put my practice works on it. If Suzuki-san is interested... also You can go there and listen.”

"Hey? There are actually works published on online platforms."

Ren Suzuki raised an eyebrow with interest.

"What's the name? I'll subscribe to it later."

"Oh, the name is [Guitar Hero], and the current number of subscribers is 3. You should be able to find it soon..."

"[Guitar Hero] Ah...I know, I'll turn around......eh?"

After hearing this familiar name, Suzuki Ren subconsciously made a sound of surprise, and then in his mind, several originally unrelated words began to move closer to each other.

[Guitar Hero], Ijichi Hongxia, band, guitarist...

……

"I...may have found the right answer."

Chapter 12: "A classmate and a producer"

The track chosen by Ichiri Goto is the song "Perfume" which was very famous on the short video platform in the past few years.

Because the accompaniment of the entire song is composed entirely of fingerstyle guitar, it is basically one of the standard songs that every guitar lover will take as an etude.

"It sounds good."

Ren Suzuki, who doesn't know much about guitar, may not be able to tell the level from this short two-three-minute performance, but at least he can still make a simple evaluation on whether it sounds good or not.

However, considering that Ichiri Goto has 3 fans on YouTube, this level should not be too bad no matter how you think about it.

If this is the case, let alone being recognized by classmates, becoming the most popular girl in the class is not a problem.

As a result, not only did this person fail to express this point properly, he even imagined a lot of situations that were simply impossible...

……

I always feel like I'm getting a little hotter.

What does this kid think of his appearance and talents?

Since she longs for recognition from others, she must recognize her own strength and charm. In order to help her overcome her inferiority complex, this is indeed necessary——

"I said, Goto-san...hey, what are you doing?"

"...Eh? No, I didn't do anything."

At this time, Goto Ichiri was worshiping a bag of chicken nuggets wrapped in kitchen paper.

"Just because I saw something sacred, I subconsciously..."

"You should eat it quickly...the longer fried food is left out, the worse it tastes."

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.

"Since you all know that I made it specially for you, I think it would be the most rude to me that you don't eat it."

Ren Suzuki said helplessly:

"Do you not believe in my craftsmanship? Or are you not interested in it at all?"

"When, of course not!"

"If not, just eat it quickly and tell me what you think."

"…………All right."

Ichiri Goto could only pick up the chopsticks with a nervous look on his face, and tremblingly put the fried chicken pieces made by Ren Suzuki into his mouth slowly...

"Okay, delicious!"

Goto Kazuri said in an almost absent-minded voice:

"Not only is the skin crispy, but the inside is also very juicy... Not only that, but the taste is just right..."

"As long as you like it."

After hearing this high praise, Ren Suzuki nodded with some relief. .

"Because I season it according to my own taste, so I'm a little worried that you might not like it."

"How could it be! This kind of thing wouldn't happen!"

Goto Ichisato shook his head quickly and said eagerly:

"The fried chicken nuggets made by Suzuki-san are the best I have ever tasted! Bar none!"

"……you flatter me."

Being praised so excitedly, even Suzuki Ren couldn't help but blush.

But being shy, Ren Suzuki still remembers what she just didn’t finish talking about——

"Goto-san."

"kindness?"

"Since you want more people to understand you and identify with you. So...are you interested in joining a band?"

"……Eh?!"

After hearing these words, Goto Ichiri straightened his back instantly, and his eyes hidden under his bangs burst out with extraordinary brilliance.

"Of course I'm interested! Or rather, I've always wanted to join a band! It's just because I don't have any friends, and our school doesn't have a light music department, so... so I never had this opportunity..."

"...It seems that he does have this intention."

Looking at Goto Kazuri who was once again in a state of excitement, Ren Suzuki nodded.

"I understand. Then, I will discuss it with the other side."

"Hey! Suzuki-san actually knows the people in the band?!"

The admiration for Ren Suzuki in Goto Kazuri's eyes suddenly grew to a higher level.

"As expected of Suzuki-kun, you can easily do things that I can't do!"

"Don't rush to be happy too early. After all, it is someone else's band. The choice lies entirely with the other party. In addition, there will be interests involved, so I will help you make subsequent decisions after detailed inspection."

Ren Suzuki said:

"The most I can do is to help you establish contact. As for other matters involving professional knowledge, I'm afraid I can't help even if I wanted to."

"That alone is worthy of gratitude..."

As Goto Isato said, he made a gesture of clasping his hands towards Ren Suzuki.

"Ah...what a great person. Not only did he make the most delicious fried chicken nuggets for me, he was even willing to help me fulfill my dream...Renmon."

"…………"

After revealing his secrets and feelings, the child's attitude completely changed.

Rather than being frank, it is better to say that I have become a little bit more free.

Although he always looks submissive on the surface, in fact his inner activities are unexpectedly rich and intense——

"Ah, no, I got a little too carried away... I'm sorry... Suzuki-kun... I accidentally let you see something disgusting..."

"…………"

As a result, he returned to his original shape.

It’s such a polarizing mental state.

"So, why did you secretly pack the fried chicken nuggets I made again?"

"Ugh... I just thought... I'd better keep a piece of it for worship..."

"Don't be silly. If you want to eat from now on, I will cook it for you. In order not to affect your appetite, I didn't pack much, so give me something to eat as soon as possible."

"I plan to keep a piece of it as a sacred object every time I do it..."

"Eat it for me."

"Yes……"

With a look of regret on her face, Goto Ichisato took out the chicken nuggets she had secretly stuffed into her lunch bag.

"Is it my imagination? I always feel that Suzuki-san suddenly became rude after listening to my guitar..."

"Probably because of... a change in mentality."

Ren Suzuki said expressionlessly:

"Before, I might have had some sympathy for your lonely and helpless situation, but after realizing the truth of the matter, my sympathy quickly turned into a kind of anger that hates iron."

"???"

"It's nothing. Anyway, leave the band affairs to me for the time being. I will inform you as soon as possible after the results are available... Ah, by the way."

Suddenly, Suzuki Ren thought of another very important thing.
