It started with being hated by the girl in the band

This is... a souvenir of me and Shin watching the Live together.

With a slightly flushed face, Wakaba Mutsu gently stroked the pick of his old comrade who had been in his hand for who knows how long, and held the pick tightly in his palm with joy, as if his cold little hands could feel the warmth of Nakagawa Nobuyuki from the pick.

"This is a ticket for [Starry]... and of course a drink voucher, pretty unique, right?"

Nakagawa Nobuyuki saw Wakaba Mutsu suddenly clenching the pick tightly. Although he felt a little strange, he didn't think much about it. He just curled the corners of his mouth and stated in a good mood.

“…Yeah, it’s very unique.”

After hearing what Nakagawa Nobuyuki said, Ruoye Mu, whose voice was soft, not only did not show any unhappiness, but he silently held the pick in his hand a little tighter.

Because, since it is a ticket to [Starry], it can better represent its specialness...

Looking at Wakaba Mutsu who was holding the pick particularly tightly, although Nakagawa Nobuyuki didn't quite understand why he cared so much about a ticket, he still respected Xiaomu's wishes and was tactful enough not to ask... Anyway, as long as Xiaomu liked it, it was fine.

...Although this thing should be recycled in theory, it's reasonable to throw one away occasionally, right?

Just as Nakagawa Nobuyuki was thinking this, suddenly, Kita Ikuyo, who had just been full of energy, had a stern face full of resentment, pushed the mop in her hand, and passed by Nakagawa Nobuyuki, muttering to herself.

First time.

"Nakagawa-san is slacking off..."

Second time.

"You were absent from work yesterday..."

The third time.

"And he's so shameless..."

pat.

Nakagawa Nobuyuki stretched out his hand expressionlessly and stopped Kita Ikuyo who was about to circle around him again.

"…Give me the mop."

As a result, Kita Ikuyo, who was stopped like this, suddenly pretended to be innocent, her eyes subconsciously drifted to the side, and her little mouth deliberately muttered: "...Um, Nakagawa-san, this doesn't seem good--"

The next second, before Kita Ikuyo, who was pretending to be innocent and simple, could say a word, Nakagawa Shin instantly took off her slightly wet apron and of course took the mop back from her hand.

In the moment when Kita Ikuyo hadn't reacted yet, she was even tapped hard on the forehead by the expressionless Nakagawa Shin... I believe that the audience with the dynamic vision of a ninja must have seen it clearly.

"it hurts!"

The next moment, in Ruoye Mu's sight, Kita Ikuyo appeared, covering her red forehead with her little hands, lying on the table in front of her, wailing miserably.

"It's obvious that Kita-san was just slacking off, right?"

The voice of Nakagawa Nobuyuki, who was leaning on a mop, floated over from the side.

"I, I'm not lazy..."

Kita Ikuyo suddenly jumped up, and even though the red mark on her forehead was particularly obvious, she still said with a guilty conscience: "Obviously... I was preaching to classmate Hemu!"

Although at this moment, Kita Ikuyo's fingers were disobeying and betraying her master, they were secretly stirring each other.

“So, it’s right for Nakagawa-san to do more work—woo!”

Kita Ikuyo once again fell down, holding the other side of her head.

“Maybe he learned bad things from Yamada…”

He appeared next to Kita Ikuyo in an instant without knowing when and after launching an inhumane attack, Nakagawa Nobuyuki reluctantly withdrew his fingers and silently looked at Yamada Ryo who had an innocent face not far away.

After seeing Nakagawa Nobuyuki pushing the mop and going to a far place, Kita Ikuyo, who had just been whimpering, suddenly stopped her voice, as if nothing had happened, and quietly raised her yellow-green eyes.

...Nakagawa-san has gone far away.

I can finally continue to recommend my favorite girls' comics with my classmates!

…Now, we can start—

"Kita-san, where were you just now?"!!!

Classmate Mu... Classmate Mu actually asked me this question on his own initiative!

In an instant, Kita Ikuyo was immersed in the great joy of Amway's success.

Look! I said that everyone loves to read girls' comics! Even a young lady like Mu is asking about the follow-up!

People like Ryo-senpai and Goto-san who are completely indifferent to this kind of thing are definitely in the minority!

Kita Ikuyo, with starry eyes, instantly revived with full health, pulled the bench under her buttocks, quickly approached Wakaba Mutsuki who looked normal, and said happily:

"…Just now we were talking about two people deciding to escape together—"

However, he was suddenly interrupted by Xiao Mu's curiosity.

"...Did the girl inside ever receive a pick as a gift?"

Eh, eh?

Kita Ikuyo's face, which had been happy just now, suddenly froze, and then became a little confused.

Why... suddenly mention pick?

"...No, I don't know...If you didn't say it...it probably means there is no such thing...right?"

Kita Ikuyo nodded her head uncertainly, looking a little embarrassed, and gave the answer softly.

...Instead, why would I suddenly receive a pick or something like that as a gift? It's still weird to think about it, right?

"……Um."

After getting the answer, Xiao Mu was silent for a moment and answered in a low voice.

…I, who got the pick that came with the letter, am better than the girl in the story.

On the other side, Nakagawa Shinya finally understood why... Kita was very happy when he took the mop, but when he came back, he looked full of resentment.

"Good morning~Nakagawa boys~Oh...so many Nakagawa boys...hiccup~"

"You bastard! Stop hanging around in the corridor!"

Holding the mop in his hand, looking at the frosty face of Ichichi Hoshika in front of him, pulling the soft Hiroi Kikuri, Nakagawa Nobuyuki already knew the answer.

...I hope Kita-san has washed the mop just now...otherwise, all my mopping would have been in vain.

"Hmm... That won't work~ We agreed today... um, we agreed to take everyone to FOLT to watch the live show..."

Hiroi Kikuri let out another groggy burp and tried to defend herself while shaking her body.

"You...sigh."

After glaring at Hiroi Kikuri in front of her, Ijichi Hoshika originally wanted to say something, but when she saw Nakagawa Nobuyuki naturally put down the mop and hold up the wobbly Hiroi Kikuri, she finally sighed.

This guy... I really don't know what to say about him. Not a penny of his salary is wasted...

"…Then, Nakagawa, I'll leave it to you."

Waving his hands with some annoyance, Yijizhi Xingge turned and walked towards his own lounge.

"...This height, oh...it's another Nakagawa boy~"

Hiroi Kikuri, who had just been helped up by Nakagawa Nobuyuki, was still a little stunned. She tried to open her still hazy eyes wider. After seeing the familiar appearance of Nakagawa Nobuyuki, she immediately leaned on him without reservation.

Nakagawa Nobuyuki is much taller than Hiroi Kikuri, so it is impossible for them to be shoulder to shoulder. Therefore, if we only talk about the visual effect, it would be more accurate to say that Hiroi Kikuri, like mud, is stuck to Nakagawa Nobuyuki's body rather than saying that Nakagawa Nobuyuki is supporting Hiroi Kikuri.

"Since it's a live show, why do you have to get so drunk..."

Looking at Hiroi Kikuri who was hugging him tightly, Nakagawa Nobuyuki complained helplessly.

To be honest, he always had a very special illusion... Obviously, Hiroi Kikuri should be much older than him, but now with this comparison, Hiroi Kikuri looked like a child.

"Eh... what are you talking about? How can I sing without drinking~"

The dazed Hiroi Kikuri rubbed her little face on Nakagawa Nobuyuki's body, and seemed to be very satisfied with the temperature and smell, complaining in a lazy and dissatisfied voice.

"Even if you really want to go, you can't go in this state..."

This guy must have smeared something dirty on himself, right? I mean... snot or something like that...

With the support of a shaky hand, Hiroi Kikuri walked into the hall in a hazy state.

The air conditioning in the hall made Hiroi Kikuri's consciousness a little clearer. She immediately narrowed her eyes and looked at the people who were already used to it.

"When did Senior Hiroi come..."

Ichichi Hongxia, who was wiping the counter, felt her nose twitching slightly. Even without turning around, she knew who was coming... Then, her expression suddenly changed in a nervous tone.

"Wait, Zhonghe! We just cleaned this place, we must not--"

Before Hongxia could finish her nervous words, Kita Ikuyo at the side had already spoken to dispel Hongxia's doubts:

"Senior Hiroi has just finished dealing with it in the corridor..."

Following her gaze, I decided not to ask Kita-san, who was smiling at the moment, why she knew this...

"Stereotypes, stereotypes~"

Hiroi Kikuri clenched her fists and waved them in protest with dissatisfaction, as if the drunk person was not her.

"...Anyway, who wants to go to FOLT to watch the live show later? Shima will come and pick us up by car."

Suddenly, the atmosphere cooled down a bit.

"...?"

Trying to open her eyes wider, Hiroi Kikuri looked at Kita Ikuyo who was closer to her.

"Well...I'll follow everyone!"

When Hiroi Kikuri's gaze swept over her, Kita Ikuyo immediately laughed dryly and looked at Goto Ichiri who was hiding in a corner not far away, trying his best to reduce his presence.

"Uh... that's--I..."

Goto Ichiri, who was suddenly thrown into disarray, subconsciously looked at Nakagawa Nobuyuki, who always served as his backbone.

Nakagawa Nobuyuki shrugged slightly, indicating that anything was fine.

Since Xin-san has said so... then this, in this case! I definitely can't accept that kind of place... but if I have to refuse it myself, I definitely can't do it...

That’s right! At times like this, let Liang, a master of the band, come—

Goto Ichiri looked at Yamada Ryo with hope, who had a very calm expression.

"If Hongxia goes, I'll go."

Yamada Ryo raised his head and gave his answer indifferently.

“Eh…I…?”

Ijichi Hongxia, who was still wearing an apron, was stunned for a moment.

How come it suddenly involves me... Besides, wasn't it agreed that we should all go together? Why is it suddenly like passing the buck...

"Uh... this... what do you think, Nakagawa-san!"

Ijichi Hongxia immediately stared at Nakagawa Nobuyuki who had not yet expressed his opinion, and asked quickly.

"...I missed work yesterday, why don't you guys go?"

Nakagawa Nobuyuki hesitated for a few seconds, raised his eyebrows, and spoke tentatively.

Anyway... skipping a day of work and then playing for a day... that's too much.

"This one……"

In an instant, Ijichi Hongxia became a little embarrassed.

Actually, she didn't mind... But why did it seem like Kita-chan and Pochi-chan didn't really want to go? If she dragged them along... wouldn't that be a bit too much?

Well...then you can go with Liang?

But... this doesn't seem like a good idea, does it? If the rest of the people stay in Fanxing and I go to FOLT...

However, when Ijichi Hongxia was in trouble, it was Hiroi Kikuri who waved her hand freely.

"Well, it's normal to have something urgent happen. You can just come back next time, right?"

As she spoke, Hiroi Kikuri took her steps, one heavy and one light, and walked forward crookedly. If it weren't for Nakagawa Nobuyuki's quick eyes and hands, she would have fallen and landed under a table.

"Yeah... Hiroi-senpai! We'll definitely go next time!"

Since Hiroi Kikuri had already said so, although she was still a little hesitant in her heart, Ijichi Kouka still spoke seriously.
