Young people with light music will not encounter lonely rock music

"Senior Liang...this...is really too cunning to say such things..."

Kita's face turned red and she was embarrassed. "How can I refuse this..."

"And if you don't know how to play the guitar, Ichiri will teach you." Kotobuki said matter-of-factly. "Right?" He looked at Goto Ichiri again.

"Yes! I will try my best to let Kita-san learn to play the guitar!"

Faced with the crisis that his companions were about to leave, Goto Kazuri seemed to have used all his courage and strength to make a high-pitched cry.

"Thank you...thank you all."

Kita cried with joy and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his fingers.

"I'll try to be the guitarist who closes the band."

Team members +1.

High school social butterfly Kita Kita joins the team.

There is no possibility of Yudai Yudai at the moment.

"But, Goto-kun, I'm very stupid. No matter how much I practice alone, I can't make a pleasant sound, only a dull thumping sound."

"?"*4.

"Isn't that Bess?" The young man frowned.

Even Yamada Ryo, who has the best expression control, showed a surprised expression.

"I'm not so ignorant. Doesn't the bass only have four strings?"

The girl put down her gig bag and unzipped it.

"Doesn't this have six strings?"

Inside the gig bag.

Lying suddenly was a six-string bass with a black body.

"The bass has six strings." Kotobuki Hikari, who was suppressing a smile, reminded him.

"Eh?" Kita looked over with Aqua's expression on his face.

Then he looked down at the piano bag to confirm.

"Eh?" He repeated his old trick.

He looked at Bess again.

It’s as if I hope that if I turn my head, this bass will turn into a guitar.

"How...how is it possible..."

Social death.

Taishe is dead, this is so embarrassing!

This is tantamount to drawing money from the wrong pool.

"If you don't believe it, just confirm it."

Zuiliang took out the six-string bass from the piano bag, which was very heavy.

Then......

Stuffed into Qinbukiguang's arms.

"Ryo...what are you doing?" Faced with such unreasonable behavior, Kotobuki raised his eyebrows.

"Ah, I haven't taken off my clothes yet." Ryo Yamada looked as I expected.

"If you didn't suddenly transform into the second form, it must not be a guitar." Ichichi Hongxia also dropped her heart.

"This method of proof... is indeed useful." Goto Yisli nodded.

However, only the red-haired Kita looked at everyone's reactions with a confused expression.

"Take off your clothes? Transform? What do you mean... Could it be that Kotobuki-san is really such a pervert?! And what does this method of proof mean?"

"Kita, you will understand in the future."

Yamada Ryo said with a pityful sigh.

Isn't the bass also called a bass guitar? Why can't it activate the inner personality of light?

"What do you think I am!"

The young man could only be helpless and furious.

"But..." Tears began to flow from Kita's face.

thump--!

"In order to buy this, I advanced two years of pocket money and New Year's money from my father..."

Kita Kitabochi seemed to have changed his style of painting, and fell beside the piano bag in despair.

Chapter 35 A group of three people after school

"Speaking of which, taking this opportunity, would you like to get a new guitar by the way?"

The next day.

under the warm sun.

The three of them formed a group after school.

"Ah...why?"

The girl walking next to Kotobuki Hikaru was stunned by this question, and then asked back.

"Well... although your piano is very good, it's a little too old. There are cracks in some places, and the pickups are also a little rusty, and the tuning knob is a bit heavy. Not only that, although it's not obvious. , but the neck has begun to bend, the fingerboard has been polished smooth, and although there are signs of replacement of the frets, they have also been polished to create grooves."

Just like a GTR, if the car ages to a certain extent, there will be times when it will not be able to exert its full performance without maintenance.

The same goes for guitars. If they are worn out too much, they won't be able to play their original tone.

This is not to say that old guitars cannot be used. Many guitar masters use very old guitars. The rust and wear marks are witnesses of the years. However, the prerequisite for being usable is that old guitars have been regularly maintained to maintain the condition of the guitar.

Although I have only touched Ichiri Goto's guitar twice, Kotobuki Hikari can also notice that Ichiri Goto's guitar is in very bad condition now...

If it were a relatively cheap piano, it would have to be thrown away as a fire stick in this state.The expensive piano should have been maintained and repaired long ago, or put into storage.

If you insist on using it, there might be an accident due to the condition of the guitar during a performance one day, and the gain will not be worth the loss.

"This guitar was used by my father when he was young. Although it is very old, it is very comfortable to use... and I have become somewhat accustomed to it."

Ichiri Goto, who was carrying his guitar, touched the gig bag behind him.

Just by touching it, you can feel a sense of peace of mind.

It's as if the human and the piano have become one.

"Speaking of which, have you ever taken your guitar to a musical instrument store for maintenance in the past few years when you have been practicing guitar?"

"..."

The response Kotobuki received was silence.

Goto Ichiri turned his head in surprise and looked at Kotobuki Hikaru.

As if to say, 'Does the guitar still need maintenance? '

"Then... that... buying new strings online and replacing them yourself counts as maintenance?"

"..."

The boy's response was the same heavy silence.

"Because...because I really don't have the courage to go to a musical instrument store and talk to the store clerk. Moreover, what if the store clerk asks me to perform live to prove that I am a guitarist, and then because I messed up, I am criticized as not worthy of being the owner of this guitar?" Master, what should I do if I am confiscated?" Goto Ichiri fell into her unique special thinking again.

"No musical instrument store would do this!"

The strings on Goto Ichisato's guitar are from Elix, and they were purchased online. I followed tutorials online to change them.

The special thing about this kind of strings is that there is a thin coating on the surface of the strings, which can protect the strings from rust and increase their durability, perhaps to reduce the number of string changes.

The timbre of Elix is ​​very special, but it cannot be evaluated as good or bad. It can only be said to depend on personal preference.

Because it is slippery, it is not easy to grind teeth. I used it for a while, but then I replaced it because I simply didn’t like the slippery feel.

"Eh... well, what do you mean by what Kobuki-san said? Pickups, neck, fingerboard, frets, etc..."

Kita, who is good at communication, was silent all the way and finally said something.

Kita and Kotobuki Hikaru were separated by a mile of Goto, so they stuck their heads forward when asking questions.

Silence is too painful for such a social lover.

She wanted to interrupt, but found that she couldn't.

Because I couldn’t understand what was being said at all!

"Kita, you don't even understand these things, no wonder you bought a guitar and a bass..."

"Kotobuki-kun... don't talk about this sad thing anymore. Every time I mention it, I feel almost ashamed to death."

Kita's face turned slightly red when he mentioned such an unspeakable thing.

"But, Kotobuki-san, is the method you said really possible?"

"Of course...Do you still want to insist on playing this bass as a guitar?"

Buying a new musical instrument is still very difficult for the average high school student.

If forced to buy a new guitar, Kita, who has overdrawn his pocket money for two years, obviously cannot afford it.

Yamada Ryo initially planned to buy the bass, but with the small balance left in this guy's pocket, Kotobuki Mitsuru refused on the spot instead of Kita.

"Slightly larger musical instrument stores will have a recycling business. If you find it earlier, you can even return it directly. But since you have bought it for so long, and there are already signs of use, you should only be able to return it. Recycled.”

But I bought it not long ago, and it is still very new. Even if I sell it, I shouldn't lose too much.

"So, Yili, do you want to buy a new guitar?"

With the current state of her guitar, it would be difficult to restore it to its former peak condition just by maintaining it. If it really needs to be repaired, the price of replacing parts will be higher than buying a good guitar.

and...

I wonder where there is such a skilled guitarist who only has one piano.

"I...I have no money..." Ichiri Goto cried and told the cruel fact.

Three cents can stump a hero, let alone 30.

"I can lend it to you."

"A social loser like me who doesn't have the courage to work and can't find a job will never be able to pay it back in his lifetime."

"Besides, I'm still a little reluctant to replace it," Goto added.

It’s really nostalgic.

In this case, Kotobuki Hikaru no longer insists.

A musical instrument store in Shimokitazawa.

It's just a store, but it already looks like a department store.

Downstairs of the musical instrument store, two girls have been waiting for a long time.

"Yo! Here, here!"

The three people walking on the road saw Itichi Hongxia from a distance who was greeting them.

After noticing the three of them, Yamada Ryo next to Hongxia also put down his cell phone, walked away from the wall he was leaning against, and waved.

"Senior Ryo! You're here too."

Seeing Yamada Ryo's figure, Kita waved his hand, shook off Kotobuki Hikaru and Goto Ichiri, and gathered around Ryo.

"Senior Liang, be sure to recommend a suitable guitar to me later."

"I would recommend the newly released headless bass." Yamada Ryo said expressionlessly.

"Oh! Then buy this!"
