It started with being hated by the girl in the band

Looking at Goto Ichiri who had entered a state of downtime in front of him, Nakagawa secretly counted down in his heart.

three,

two,

One.

Okay, back to my senses.

This is Goto Ichiri's state of fear of meeting someone. Generally speaking, if they meet face to face, it will last about five seconds, if they are suddenly spoken to from behind, it will last seventeen seconds, and if physical contact occurs, it will usually be longer, about twenty-three seconds.

Just now, because Nakagawa Nobuyuki touched Goto Ichiri's shoulder and there was physical contact, it took him twenty-three seconds to come back to his senses.

It's Goto as expected. He's still the same after all this time. It seems that after such a long separation, he probably hasn't made any new friends.

"...Ah...Good morning, no, it should be said that it's been a long time since we last met, Your Highness Nakagawa. I'm on my way to school now. If..."

Suddenly he turned into a Goto parrot, speaking very fast and stumblingly.

Nakagawa Shin tapped Goto Ichiri's fair forehead with amusement, gently lifting up his thick bangs. It looked like the pause button was pressed, and Goto Ichiri was still blinking frantically, and said softly: "Just call me Shin. What is His Highness Nakagawa?"

"I will...I will follow your instructions...Your Highness..."

"Just write it. It's just that we haven't seen each other for a while. How come even the address has changed?"

"Because... because of that... I always feel like... it's like a precious item in a game..."

"No, these two have nothing to do with each other, right?"

Actually, Ichiri-chan didn't finish her words. What she wanted to say originally should be "I always feel that the name Shin is like a precious prop in a game, which disappears after use." However, since he hasn't spoken to anyone other than his family for a long time, Goto's current language ability probably needs to be re-practiced in manzai with paramecium or water fleas.

"Okay, let's get down to business. Um, I remember you were playing guitar, right? Um... I have a friend who wants to hold a live show, but the band's guitarist can't make it due to some things, so he needs a temporary guitarist. Are you free?"

"..."

"...Yili, it's okay to refuse? After all, we are friends."

No, I want to go!

I want to go! You can go!

There is no problem at all!

Because we are friends, I can’t refuse!

[Accepting a friend's invitation] This is clearly TOP100 in the [TOP39 list of Goto Ichiri's lifelong dreams], and I can't back down or refuse now!

(By the way, [accepting a friend’s invitation and going on the date] is the top 11 on the list.)

Ahhh why can't I speak! The person in front of me is the only friend besides Jimmy Henry who has no blood relationship with me!

If you don't agree! If you don't agree...

【Goto Ichiri’s Inner Court】

Judge: Defendant Goto Ichiri, listen up! You are now sentenced to the following crimes: disappointing your friends' expectations, refusing your friends' invitations, and ignoring your friends' words. You are sentenced to death for multiple crimes!

Nakagawa Nobuyuki: Goto-san, you disappoint me so much. As a friend, you can't even help me with such a small thing. I will cut off your little finger and completely break up with you, turning you into a lonely, socially anxious, and friendless girl who stays at home!

Wow, I don't want anything like this!

Especially breaking up with classmate Xin, at least... at least wait until fifty years after my death, no, eighty years!

Yes, that’s right!

I heard that in today's human society, as long as you don't say anything, it means you agree. There is such a saying!

Wow, this is really great. In this modern society, as long as I don’t speak, Xin will definitely include me in his plans!

But what if Nobu feels that I have offended him by not speaking and breaks up with him... Anyway! I have to say something! What should I say... Think quickly, Goto, what should I say! ?

Got it!

Then, Nakagawa Nobuyuki saw Goto Ichiri who suddenly curled up into a ball.

"...I am Plankton Goto..."

"...Since they are plankton, they cannot speak..."

Chapter 14: Not a Preferred Girl

"Uh...So Ichiri doesn't have time to go?"

Nakagawa Nobuyuki scratched his head.

The students passing by nearby had already started staring at this side with strange eyes. Even though Nakagawa Nobuyuki was thick-skinned, he couldn't stand the crazy stares from so many angles.

A few people with quick hands have already picked up their phones and are making calls with vigilant eyes. Hey, don’t misunderstand others without permission!

"Ah... No! Um, um..."

Goto Ichiri, who had been curled up in a ball, suddenly crawled up in a panic.

It is hard to imagine that modern humans with two hands and two legs, without any known limb disabilities or brain diseases, can stand up in such an extremely difficult posture and movement that is unimaginable to ordinary people.

...It is blasphemy beyond words.

"Does that mean it's okay?"

"Ah... yes! I'm glad I can help..."

Great success!

Hehehe, it seems that the difficulty of communicating with people is not that difficult... Modern society is really wonderful. I believe that super difficult communication can be easily passed...

Am I actually a social genius?

Looking at Goto Ichiri who had a smug expression in front of him, Nakagawa Nobuyuki knew that the matter was probably settled.

Ichiri is a very good guitar player. During the junior high school graduation party, Ichiri Goto brought his guitar to school, but unfortunately he didn't play it in class. Finally, it was because Nakagawa Nobu was curious and begged for a long time. When Goto praised him so much, Ichiri Goto agreed to play it for Nakagawa Nobu alone.

Although Goto Ichiri played the piano poorly at the beginning due to nervousness, and his sound and breath were a little disordered, but Nakagawa Nobuyuki's enthusiastic gaze seemed to have magical power. Not only did his nervousness slowly disappear, but he even felt a different kind of ease in his heart - it felt like he could do anything in this state!

In Nakagawa Shin's opinion, he only knew that Goto Ichiri's guitar skills were very good! As for how good he was, he didn't have the ability to appreciate it yet.

"Then let's talk about it on Line around 6 or 7 tonight, how about that?"

“Okay, okay…Okay!”

Nakagawa Nobuyuki said goodbye to his old friend with a smile and waved.

If this point is here, then we are also going to school, right? The school rules of Yuqiu have some requirements for school uniforms, but the rules at Xiuhua are much more relaxed, so we are actually going to school at Xiuhua?

No, if I really go to school in Xiuhua, it’s too far from my junior high school... If I come from Yokohama, it will take a long time to take the train, right?

Could it be that those bad guys at that time came to Tokyo because I came and were trying to make their presence felt in Ichi-ri?

After thinking about it, I feel that this possibility is very high.

Forget it, I'll ask Yili what happened when I see her later.

At this moment, a pink figure suddenly flashed by. The figure walked a little faster than Nakagawa Nobuyuki and also carried a guitar. The difference was that this time she was wearing the Yuqiu school uniform.

This time it’s really Chihaya Aine.

"Good morning, Aine?" Nakagawa Nobuyuki took a few quick steps, greeted Aine, and walked to the seat where they sat shoulder to shoulder.

"I don't want to talk to you now." As a result, Chihaya Aine frowned and walked a few steps faster, leaving Nakagawa Nobuyuki a few steps away.

"What's wrong, Aine?" Sensing something was wrong, Nakagawa Nobuyuki quickened his pace and caught up with Chihaya Aine.

"...I know it's unreasonable, but I don't want to talk to Xinxin right now!" Chihaya Aine bit her lip, said this and trotted forward.

Nakagawa Shin's head was full of question marks, but since Aine was in a bad mood today, it would be better not to disturb her.

Chihaya Aine jogged all the way until she reached the school gate and stopped.

I secretly looked back and found that Nakagawa Nobuyuki had not caught up with me, and I felt even more aggrieved.

Chihaya Aine was so confused that she didn't really understand why she had become like this.

When I saw Xinxin, I was obviously very happy.

When I saw Xinxin talking to other girls, I didn’t have any special thoughts.

But that kind of intimate action is not something that ordinary friends can do, right?

Not only does he put his arm around my shoulders, he also touches my forehead and curls up other girls' hair...

I don't know why, but it feels... weird. Anyway, I just don't want this to happen.

I wanted to pretend nothing happened and talk to Xinxin, but when I heard him talking...

Chihaya Aine gently covered her chest, feeling the surging emotion of "grievance" in her heart...

They're all the same, right? Hair color, musical instruments, etc...

No, no, this idea is wrong!

You can't restrict Xinxin like this. I'm definitely not that kind of serious girl.

Xinxin was just talking to his friends. I'm not the kind of person who would tie my friends to my side!

It’s decided. I’ll apologize to Xinxin when I see her later!

Thinking this way, Chihaya Aine tried hard to calm the inexplicable emotions in her heart.

When Nakagawa Nobuyuki arrived at the classroom and sat down in his seat, the familiar feeling came to him again.

Poke.

Poke poke.

"What's wrong, Aine? It seems like you're not in a good mood today."

Well, since Chihaya Aine spoke up herself, Nakagawa Shin had to ask what happened this morning.

"Um... I'm sorry Xinxin, I was in a bad mood this morning because of some things... But it's okay now!"

"But...what is the relationship between Xinxin and that girl? It seems to me that they are very close."

As she spoke, Chihaya Aine's eyes shifted away unconsciously, and her fingers gently tangled the ends of her hair.

"Oh, you mean one mile?"

"He was my junior high school classmate. He should be studying at Xiuhua now."

"How should I describe her personality? She's a little... peculiar. She often gets lost in her own world and needs a knock on the head like this to come back to her senses."

Speaking of this, Nakagawa Nobuyuki couldn't help but smile.

Goto Ichiri often makes some inexplicable jokes because of this.

"Is that so... just classmates?"

Upon hearing this answer, the lingering discomfort in my chest felt a little better.

Although I'm not sure why, but...I feel a little happier anyway.

Suddenly, I felt a little flustered out of nowhere.

"...Xinxin, hurry back, class is about to start!"

After forcing Nakagawa Nobuyuki back to his seat, Chihaya Aine immediately buried her little face on the table and didn't move.

Ahhh, really, why do I ask such a question? I am so shameless!

Chapter 15 So-called [Features]

The bell rang again, signaling the end of lunch break.

Just as Nakagawa Nobuyuki took out his lunch box, Xiaodeng suddenly stood beside him, holding the corner of his clothes.

I originally thought that Xiao Deng was just passing by, but I found that Deng had been standing there for several seconds and hadn't left, so I couldn't help but look up.

As a result, Xiaodeng’s expression now...how to describe it, not only the somewhat awkward movements, but also the slightly red face and evasive eyes, it doesn’t feel like a normal expression.

With a blushing face, Xiao Deng gently tugged at Nakagawa Nobuyuki's sleeve.
