Young people with light music will not encounter lonely rock music

Kita bought a new guitar and never stopped practicing the guitar every day.

Although she is still a little clumsy now, and she does not show as strong a talent for guitar as the anime heroine, but her efforts to practice guitar even if her fingers are calloused and her beautiful nails must be cut clean, have made her It is a rarer existence.

"Oh...no way."

After playing all the practice songs on the phone screen, Kita let out a slightly disappointed sigh.

"No...it doesn't matter. At least you've finished playing."

"But, it's been a week. I practice guitar every day at school with Goto-kun and Kotobuki-san, and I also come here to practice after school, but I can only do this..."

Kita seemed even more disappointed.

"Compared with Gotou-san, I am far behind. It seems that I can't catch up with Gotou-san no matter what."

The gap between people is caused by comparison.

How can he compare with those who are also beginners? In less than a week of practice, from scratch to where he is now, Kita is already very good.

But what Kita Sen should never do is use Kazuri Gotou as the benchmark for comparison.

"No, it's only been a few days, Kita-san has been able to achieve this level is already very good..."

Goto Ichiri was a little panicked.

At first, when she taught Kita to practice guitar, she was still a little at a loss.

However, gradually, this feeling of being needed and praised by others made her feel novel.

Therefore, seeing Kita looking so lost, Goto Kazuri suddenly became afraid, worried that Kita would give up learning guitar because of the difficulties.

However, when Goto Ichiri was worried, Kita raised his head again, the gloom on his face instantly dissipated, and a smile with holy light reappeared.

"Sure enough, I should work harder!"

? !

The sudden rise of holy light almost killed the hammer snake living in a dark and humid environment.

it is good...

So dazzling!

"my eyes...!"

Staying with such a sunny and youthful female high school student, Goto Kazuri just feels...

I want to die...

Squeak-!

The door to the practice room was opened without a knock.

A young man pushed open the door and entered.

My body was a little wet and my hair was a little sticky.

But after getting wet like this, he looked strangely handsome.

"The weather is so weird. It was fine when I went out, but it suddenly started raining on the way back."

Kotobuki Mitsuru put the tea box containing the favored snacks on the side table and complained.

"Light...you're wet, is that okay?"

Seeing Kotobuki Mitsuru's appearance, Goto Kazuri mustered up the courage to speak out words of concern.

"Ah...it's okay, it's just that the coat is a little wet."

The boy took off his black sportswear jacket. Fortunately, the Xiuhua Academy uniform inside was still dry and did not affect him.

The uniform is somewhat slim-fitting, and you can vaguely see the traces outlined below, slightly attracting the girl's attention.

"How is your practice, Kita-san? Your progress has been very obvious recently."

"Well..." The pink-haired girl suddenly made a strange sound.

"The gap between Goto-san and me is still too far, but I will redouble my efforts to catch up with Goto-san!" Kita immediately expressed his determination.

"Otherwise, I would be sorry for the guitar that Ryo-senpai and Kotobuki-san helped me choose."

The girl gently stroked the tomato-scrambled-egg guitar in her arms, which matched his hair color very well.

It has only been a week of practice, but there are already traces of friction with the strings on the guitar's frets. This is proof of the girl's hard work.

"However, there is a question I would like to ask Kotobuki-san. I heard that Kotobuki-san knows you very well about playing." Kita suddenly changed the subject.

"what is the problem?"

"Think about it carefully, don't I still want to be the lead singer? But now my focus is on the guitar and I don't care about singing at all. I originally wanted to concentrate on being the lead singer, which would be good for the band, but in that case it would be in the middle. Sometimes I have nothing to do, don’t know what to do, and feel very embarrassed..."

Just imagine.

During the band's interlude.

The guitar was performing a difficult solo, the drummer was also playing gorgeous drum beats, the keyboard player turned into a six-finger piano demon on the spot, and even the bass started a hip-hop performance.

But as the lead singer, I can only stand in the center of the stage, sway slightly to the rhythm, and then make a cute scissor hand gesture?

So embarrassing!

"Actually, it's quite easy to play and sing on the rhythm guitar. It just requires more practice."

Kotobuki Hikaru suddenly realized that Kita asked a question that he had never thought of.

It's a bit Versailles...but...

"It's just that I really can't figure it out. Why can't I sing while playing the guitar?"

"?"

Kita's face changed slightly, showing a polite but not rude expression.

"However, if you really have nothing to do during the interlude, I can teach you a way to be popular on stage and get feedback from the audience."

"Really?!" Kita was overjoyed. "Please teach me! Kotobuki-san!"

"Well, it's actually quite simple. I learned it from a lead singer in a band journal..."

Halfway through his words, the boy raised his hands.

then.

Both hands raised their middle fingers together.

"?"

"?"

The two girls who were practicing guitar were stunned.

The air was instantly filled with unspeakable silence.

"It can't be done! You can't do it no matter what you think!"

Kita yelled with a red face.

This kind of behavior is completely inconsistent with my ladylike character, and I would never do such a thing no matter what!

"But it's very effective. Especially when Kita is like this, with a youthful and cute smile on her face, she will definitely attract a lot of fans when she makes this kind of gesture."

"No way!"

"Give it a try, isn't it natural to give the middle finger when playing rock music?"

"..."

Squeak-!

When Kita was debating whether or not to adopt Kotobuki Hikari's opinion, the door was opened again.

Yamada Ryo appeared at the door, looking at the strange scene inside, his expression remained unchanged.

The boy was pointing his middle finger at the two girls in the practice room...

"Pochi, did Hikaru touch the guitar again?"

As he said this, Yamada Ryo took a bite of the grass in his hand.

"No!" Kotobuki Hikaru promptly interrupted the risk of the dark history being exposed.

"Ryo, why are you... eating grass?" Kotobuki Hikari asked in confusion.

"The wild senior is so handsome!" Kita picked up the phone and prepared to take a photo of Yamada Ryo.

"I did the math. If I eat grass for a few more days, I can probably save enough money to buy a bass."

Yamada Ryo's eyes looked at Kotobuki Hikari with prayer.

"So, can you go to the musical instrument store with me then?"

"Do you think of me as a membership card?"

"..."

Yamada Ryo just looked away, and then made a smile that didn't look like a smile.

Sometimes silence can be used not only as rejection, but also as acquiescence.

"Well...if you eat grass for a few days, your body will get damaged."

Kotobuki Mitsuru picked up the snack box on the table.

"Would you like a cup of tea first?"

Chapter 39 Post-practice tea party

"Today's cake is chocolate cake." Yamada Ryo whispered expectantly.

In the practice room, two folding tables are connected in parallel and used as an afternoon tea table.

Use a metallic table knife to cut the entire chocolate cake, evenly cutting the twelve-inch cake into five equal parts.

Then, the young man who was cutting the cake elegantly divided the cake on five plates.

The tea set with a white background and gold rim, full of aristocratic atmosphere, is in sharp contrast with the plastic tableware provided in the pastry shop. When people face this cake, they can't let go, and they can't help but want to behave more elegantly.

"On a rainy day, drinking a cup of hot black tea will make you feel better."

After dividing the cake, the boy poured the brewed black tea into five teacups.

The black tea in the shop in Shimokitazawa tastes great.

"Well, let's have another in-band meeting!"

Seeing that the band meeting was about to turn into an afternoon tea party, Ichichi Hongxia took the lead and slapped the agenda sheet on the table.

"That's it, you should drink hot tea on rainy days." Yamada Ryo responded to the boy's words and took the tea cup.

"This kind of tableware is so beautiful and perfect for taking pictures." Kita picked up the phone, put it on the table, and took a selfie facing his own direction. "It would be more suitable if I put on a maid outfit."

"Thank you... Hikari." The silent Goto Ichiri just expressed his thanks with his eyes and words.

So lazy...

"Hey! Everyone, this is a band meeting, not a tea party."

Itichi Hongka, who emphasized the essence of the meeting, was like a weak schoolgirl reminding the lazy schoolmates.

"So Hongxia, do you still want to eat your cake? If you don't want to eat it, you can give it to me."

Yamada Ryo is ready to take over Hongxia's share at any time.

"Yadayo!"

Although she said it was not a tea party, Hong Xia still honestly picked up the metal spoon that matched the tea set and ate the black chocolate cake.

The mellowness and smoothness of the chocolate made people forget to leave, and the girl immediately showed a happy look.

"I'm very grateful that I can often eat Kotobuki-san's cakes, but I feel like I want to gain weight recently."

Kita touched her belly and sighed.

This tangled feeling is so painful. It is really a cruel thing to choose between delicious afternoon tea and weight.

"Yes...me too." Goto Kazuri also weakly agreed.
