It started with being hated by the girl in the band

Hiroi Kikuri looked drunk again and sat down next to Nakagawa Nobuyuki.

The coat he was wearing looked very familiar to Nakagawa Shin; it was the one that was spit on before.

"Hiroi-senpai, the clothes you are wearing now... are they mine?"

Nakagawa Nobuyuki slowly began to remind Hiroi Kikuri in a roundabout way.

"Eh...I guess...it's okay~"

Hiroi Kikuri squinted her eyes and looked at the clothes on her body, then suddenly waved her hand, looking completely unconcerned.

Although it seems to be different from the original one...

But who cares? Just wear something comfortable.

But Nakagawa Nobuyuki obviously cared because the clothes were his.

"Hiroi-senpai, didn't you say yesterday that you would wash my coat and return it to me?"

"(Hiccups) Because the air conditioning in Fanxing is too cold... you need to wear a coat to stay warm."

As a result, it was obvious that the confused Hiroi Kikuri was still unable to understand what Nakagawa Nobuyuki said.

Nakagawa Nobuyuki had no choice but to ask Hongxia to take care of the drunk Hiroi Kikuri, and prepare to go out to buy some hangover medicine and hot porridge.

At least Nakagawa Nobuyuki doesn't want to see clothes covered in vomit again in the short term.

Chapter 39 Explain the joke = Dissecting a frog

"...I heard that these hangover remedies are not very useful."

Nakagawa Nobuyuki returned to Fanxing with hot porridge in one hand and hangover medicine he bought from the pharmacy in the other.

"I'm back...Where's Hiroi-senpai?"

Looking around, there was no sign of the purple-haired drunkard with pigtails. Only the faint smell of alcohol in the air reminded everyone that a drunkard who played bass was still in Starry.

"Oh, Nakagawa-san is back?"

"As for Hiroi-senpai, my sister called him away. I guess she wanted to teach him a lesson..."

Hongxia was wearing an apron and temporarily taking over his job at the counter, but fortunately, there were not many people coming to Fanxing at this time.

A guy in a wheelchair just passed by. He must be working so hard to play in a band.

"Let's wait for Hiroi-senpai to come back and give her the hangover medicine..."

Nakagawa Nobuyuki stood back behind the counter and continued his boring work.

"Come to think of it, is it always like this every time Hiroi-senpai comes?"

"This drunken look."

While playing with the Newton's cradle on the counter, Nakagawa Nobuyuki chatted with everyone.

"Not every time... As Hiroi-senpai said, sometimes I will be sober for a while when I need to perform."

"Usually it's because I'm driving with my musical instrument or something...but I'll get drunk before the show."

Hongxia shook her head, feeling helpless.

"Hiroi, there is a reason why you have to drink."

But PA-san was smiling and looked mysterious, there must be some hidden secret.

"Unless Senior Hiroi is drinking to learn the Drunken Eight Immortals, I will hate her for the rest of my life."

However, it seems that Nakagawa Nobuyuki is not very interested in the reasons behind it.

Unless Hiroi Kikuri is really imitating the Drunken Eight Immortals.

While they were talking about this topic, Ijichi Hoshika came back dragging Hiroi Kikuri, who looked peaceful and sleepy.

Xingge threw Hiroi Kikuri on the sofa beside her as if she was throwing away a corpse. Fortunately, Hiroi Kikuri was sleeping soundly, otherwise she would have been woken up by the fall.

"...Manager Xingge, even if you build the body into the wall, the smell of the body will still come out."

"By the way, let me confirm that there are no black cats among the stars."

Without waiting for Ijichi Hoshika to speak, Nakagawa Nobuyuki looked at Hiroi Kikuri, who looked like a corpse, and his brows twitched slightly.

"I'm not a murderer..."

Xingge complained casually and looked at Hongxia on the side.

"Hongxia, how's your pretend band going?"

Hong Xia looked at her sister with dissatisfaction: "This is not a pretend band! We already have all the people!"

But even so, Xingge didn't look like he had listened to her. He just continued with a calm expression: "Is it just playing house or something? What you say doesn't count."

"If you want to prove yourself, then prepare well."

After saying that, Ichichi Xingge just glanced at everyone present and walked away without saying anything else.

The atmosphere suddenly became stagnant.

"Don't be angry, Hongxia-senpai... The store manager is also thinking about us."

"Shall we start practicing today?"

Kita whispered to comfort the angry Hongxia and took off the guitar bag on his back.

"That's true, but we don't have our own original songs yet..."

Although Hongxia was quite dissatisfied, she was able to face the reality.

Although I really don’t want to admit it, my sister is right - whether it is a playing band or not, just saying it doesn’t count.

"There's still enough time. Pochi can write the lyrics and I'll compose the music."

Yamada Ryo looked serious, and was rarely reliable.

"Ah..." Goto Ichiri, who had just recovered, saw that the atmosphere suddenly became a little stiff.

...What happened? Why is everyone silent? Why does Hongxia look so upset?

"Ah... that..."

What should I say now? Uh... I heard that high school students nowadays like to talk about pets and stuff...

...Jimmy Hen has had some loose stools lately?

No, this topic is definitely not acceptable!

Love...Dating talk show?

But, but I have absolutely nothing to say?

At this time, Goto Ichiri, who was in a frenzy of self-denial, did not notice that this topic had been skipped.

Because now, everyone has discovered more serious problems.

"...Xiao Xiduo, are you sure you bought a guitar?"

Hongxia looked at the multi-string bass lying quietly in Kita's guitar case and fell into deep thought.

"Yes! I have checked this! This is the one with six strings, right?"

Kita didn't know what was going on and was smiling with some complacency.

“This is called a multi-string bass.”

Musical instrument expert Ryo Yamada joined the conversation calmly.

“Huh? Is this another name for guitar?”

Kita Ikuyo blinked, very confused.

After the two men explained to her the concept of "multi-string bass", Kita Ikuyo was instantly petrified.

"Kita, today's animations no longer use such outdated methods to express the psychological activities of characters."

"Kita, don't be like that...um...Ryo has a lot of guitars and basses at home, just borrow one of Ryo's guitars!"

Of course, Nakagawa Nobuyuki was already busy receiving guests at this time.

According to the schedule, the band whose guitarist ran away earlier is scheduled to come back today.

Time KiraKira, that’s it.

"Hey, Hailing, you're here today for that Time KiraKira, right?"

I saw that [Beth Mercenary] again.

Hachiman Kailing was still carrying a large instrument box, dressed like a cool band girl.

"Yes, it seems that their guitarist was beaten into the hospital by someone hired by his ex-girlfriend a few days ago. He came here in a wheelchair today."

Hachiman Kailing nodded and answered casually.

So the guy in the wheelchair is your guitarist! ?

He suppressed the urge to complain and told Yawata Kailing the address of the recording studio. After receiving several high school students who came in groups, Nakagawa Nobuyuki was able to free up his hands again.

Then, Nakagawa Nobuyuki saw three motionless statues.

Goto Ichiri squatted in place, maintaining his human form but with his painting style broken.

Hiroi Kikuri was lying on her side on the sofa, looking comfortable but like a corpse.

Kita Ikuyo, who was petrified at one side, had a smile on her face but had been gone for a while.

"...No, aren't they the three stone giants from the first episode of Ultraman D?"

"But everyone is standing straight, right?"

Nakagawa Nobuyuki complained as he moved closer.

"This is what happened to Kita after he discovered he bought the wrong instrument..."

"Nakagawa, I leave it to you."

Looking at the two people who were looking at him with hope, Nakagawa Nobuyuki pondered for a few seconds and suddenly an idea came to him.

"I have a solution."

Nakagawa Nobuyuki stretched out his finger with a serious look on his face.

"Coffee beans, petrified lizard oil, trauma team."

"Give the coffee beans to Senior Hiroi, give the petrified lizard oil to Kita, and finally let the trauma team take Ikari away."

“I think it’s very thoughtful.”

Hongxia obviously didn't get the point. She looked blankly at Yamada Ryo, whose face looked calm but with a smile between his eyebrows.

"No...what are you talking about? Can you explain it to me?"

Yamada Ryo and Nakagawa Nobuyuki exchanged glances. Yamada Ryo suddenly stopped smiling and started talking to Hongxia in a serious manner.

"Hongxia, do you know what dissecting a frog and explaining a joke have in common?"

"...what do they have in common?"

"Dissecting a frog will reveal its structure, but it will kill the frog."

Chapter 40 I'm jealous

"Hiroi-senpai is not a mushroom at all! He won't wake up with coffee beans!"

After listening to Yamada Ryo's explanation, Hongxia immediately complained.

"It's okay. The stars won't spawn zombies anyway."

Yamada Ryo replied seriously.
