It started with being hated by the girl in the band

Without even bothering to ask for Nakagawa Nobuyuki's opinion, Shiina Riki forced the thick book into Nakagawa Nobuyuki's hands.

"…If I find out that you don't know anything by then, don't blame me for being rude!"

As if he was afraid that Nakagawa Nobuyuki would stuff the book back, Shiina Rikki immediately took a step back, his face slightly red, and looked seriously at Nakagawa Nobuyuki who was a little dazed.

Indeed, what Hachiman Kailin said was not wrong. In some ways, Shiina Riki is really a complete tsundere.

At least, a guy who can keep his promise like this can't be a bad guy, right?

"So we'll still see you tomorrow?"

"It's better not to see you!"

After saying goodbye to Shiina Ritsuki and Yawata Kairin with a smile, Nakagawa Nobuyuki picked up his bag and walked towards the door of RiNG.

"Xinxin, are you still not well?"

At this moment, Chihaya Aine, who was standing at the door, happened to peek in like a curious little animal. When she saw Nakagawa Nobuyuki coming, she immediately smiled with joy and curved her eyebrows.

Hehe, I haven’t been home with Xinxin for several days~

This time I have prepared a lot of things to say slowly... How about, I should pester Xinxin to walk a little further with her?

Anyway, Xinxin will definitely laugh and shake her head at that time: "Alas, there is really nothing I can do about you."

Is this how you obey yourself?

"Okay, okay... Why are you in such a hurry? I can't just disappear suddenly."

Nakagawa Shin made a casual complaint, blocked RiNG's door, let it slowly close, and walked forward without stopping.

"Because every second with Xinxin is precious~"

Chihaya Aine raised the corners of her mouth, put her hands behind her back, and her hair dyed the color of the sunset also danced with her laughter.

"Xinxin, look, I can walk backwards."

"...Be careful, if you fall it will be a big bump."

"Hey - don't say such a spoiler~"

In the golden pink sunset, responding to the setting sun in summer, Nakagawa Nobuyuki looked helplessly at Chihaya Aine, who was smiling happily in front of him.

Soon, the two arrived at the tram station again.

Chihaya Aine couldn't remember what she talked about, but she only remembered that she was very happy. She was amused by the joke that Nakagawa Nobuyuki told out of the blue, and she even laughed until tears came down.

The long journey home in the past has now become so short, so short that it makes people feel unwilling.

“Is this the stop? Aine, why don’t you get off the bus?”

Nakagawa Nobuyuki looked at Chihaya Aine who was still motionless in front of him, and felt a little strange.

"Wait a minute..."

Chihaya Aine reluctantly and slowly walked to the car door, not knowing what she was hesitating about.

It was not until the train doors were about to close that Chihaya Aine reacted. She hurriedly stepped out of the door, and said goodbye to Nakagawa Nobuo with some reluctance.

As she watched the train restart and quickly disappear before her eyes, Chihaya Aine bit her thin lips lightly with a feeling of loss.

【I want to go see where Xinxin works part-time. 】

If I suddenly bring up this kind of thing, it would sound pretty heavy, right?

Pursing her lips, Chihaya Aine threw this somewhat strange thought aside, took out her cell phone, and started bombarding herself with emoticons for today.

…Who told Xinxin to walk so fast? It usually takes her so long to get home! It’s all Xinxin’s fault!

Nakagawa Shin, who was on his way to Starry, of course had no idea what the little pink-haired girl was thinking at the moment. He just opened the chat interface with Chihaya Aine as usual so that the emoticon bombardment would not keep reminding him.

Speaking of which, Starry finally had electricity today... In such a hot summer, who can stand a power outage?

Maybe it was because it hadn't been open for several days, or maybe it was because Nakagawa Xin took a detour with the little pink-haired boy, that today Nakagawa Xin arrived only after Fanxing opened the door.

Click.

Walking around several small flower pots placed along the steps, under the illumination of the neon light signs, Nakagawa Nobuyuki gently pushed open the door of the stars.

As soon as the door opened, the unique dark feeling unique to Fanxing made Nakagawa Xin, who had been in RiNG for an afternoon, feel a little uncomfortable for a moment... although it was still quite cool to be honest.

"Nakagawa, long time no see."

Miss Yamada, who was drinking a drink at the moment, slowly raised her eyes and looked over, then greeted Nakagawa Nobuyuki who breathed a sigh of relief.

"...Didn't we just see each other at RiNG's place?"

Nakagawa Nobuyuki casually complained about Yamada Ryo and put his bag next to the Newton behind the counter.

Newton's cradle is still clanging and jingling. I wonder who was playing with it just now.

"Oh? Nakagawa-san is here?"

Ijichi Kouka, who was still wiping the table, heard the voice, blinked, and looked up at Nakagawa Nobuyuki who was standing behind the counter.

"Well...it took a little longer on the road."

Nakagawa Nobuyuki easily pulled the pitiful Goto Ichiri out of the cardboard box behind the counter and replied casually while leaning against the counter in front of him.

The counter has been wiped clean today, with some water stains still on it. It seems that I don't need to do this job myself.

Looking at Hongxia who was working hard with her sleeves rolled up, Zhonghe who was wiping the cup had some guesses in his mind and shook his head with some emotion.

Hongxia is indeed a good child.

Chapter 103: A thank-you letter from Kikuri Hiroi?

It must be said that Fanxing is a well-known livehouse nearby, and people are still willing to come and watch it even if it is closed for a few days.

Nobuyuki Nakagawa was not familiar with the bands performing today, but since he was also forming a band recently, Nobuyuki Nakagawa put his head back and thought of killing time, and looked at the bands performing on the stage with some seriousness.

To be honest, no one told Nakagawa Nobuyuki that he actually had a talent in this area.

Relying on a good memory, he was able to memorize so many common guitar chords just by watching from a distance. It would be a bit exaggerated to tell others about it.

“…I always feel like a lot of bands wear very distinctive clothes.”

If we form a band, will we also need to design a set of distinctive clothes?

By the way, I saw a poster of [Roselia] in the Astronomy Department room before. That style is pretty good, right?

...But as for Xiaomu, if his family doesn't allow him to play in a band, wouldn't it be better for him to cover his face?

Nakagawa Nobuyuki slowly shifted his gaze away from the stage, holding his chin thoughtfully and rubbing it gently.

But after a while, Ijichi Hongxia came over happily with a bright smile and interrupted Nakagawa Nobuyuki's thoughts.

Basically, Xingge had agreed to complete the band's acceptance process before Friday afternoon.

As soon as this matter was mentioned, Goto Ichiri at the side began to tremble like a sieve, staring at him with wide eyes, and for a moment, he almost turned into powder, but fortunately, he was quickly grabbed by Nakagawa Nobuyuki at the last second before he disintegrated.

"Alright, alright... Li, don't be so nervous, we're all family members watching the live show."

Nakagawa Nobuyuki patted Goto Ichiri's trembling shoulders and comforted him softly.

Our own people?!

Goto Ichiri suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked at Nakagawa Nobuyuki who was smiling lightly in front of him.

I...I and Xin are...are one family!?

Hey, hey hey…

"Okay, this way it shouldn't fall apart."

Nakagawa Nobu nodded in satisfaction and released his hand from Goto Ichiri's petite shoulder.

"Wow... the smile suddenly becomes sticky, and it's too easy to deal with."

Ijichi Kouka put her hands on her hips and looked at Goto Ichiri who was smiling foolishly in front of her, with a somewhat speechless expression.

"…So, what did Nakagawa-san say?"

Shaking her head, Hongxia turned her gaze again, leaned lightly on the counter, and looked at Nakagawa Nobuyuki who was also leaning on the counter.

"It's unlikely that he won't come."

Nakagawa Nobuyuki looked at Hongxia, whose crimson eyes were filled with anticipation, and said casually.

Of course you have to watch a band's live performance, especially one of your friends', right? Only a genius can resist watching it.

"Then Nakagawa, please promise us that you will clap your hands loudly down there, okay?"

Hong Xia smiled prettily and tapped her fingers lightly on the counter, making a very rhythmic sound.

By the way, can you ask Nakagawa to take a few more photos for everyone? If we use them as promotional photos, I think each one will attract a lot of viewers.

Hong Xia thought so in her heart, and her hands moved a little faster.

On the other side, a tender little white hand suddenly rested on Nakagawa Nobuyuki's shoulder.

Like an evil spirit, Miss Yamada appeared behind Nakagawa Nobuyuki and said in a faint voice: "If I don't come, I will kill you..."

"What kind of urban legend is this..."

Nakagawa Nobuyuki speechlessly stretched out his finger and flicked the head of Miss Yamada, who was acting mysterious.

"Haha, you know, urban legends are extremely popular wherever they spread."

Perhaps because he was very dissatisfied with the physical attack from Nakagawa Nobuyuki, Yamada Ryo sneered, covered his red forehead, and explained seriously.

I have to say, this may not be wrong.

After all, there are indeed many unknown places that have become famous tourist attractions or something because of an inexplicable urban legend.

By then, we could probably make a lot of money by fencing off such places and charging admission.

However, before Nakagawa Nobuyuki could say anything to complain, the store manager Xingge, who came out from the backstage with a frown on his face, seemed to have even greater objections.

"...Before you turn Fanxing into some kind of haunted place, ask for my opinion as the store manager."

She must have just finished checking the lighting equipment in the Stars with the PA. At this moment, Ijichi Xingge was crossing her arms and wearing a high ponytail. She looked almost like an enlarged version of Hong Xia.

However, it was obvious that Ijichi Hoshika did not come out from the backstage just to complain about Ms. Yamada.

Ijichi Xingge shook the square envelope in her hand, and under Nakagawa Nobu's puzzled gaze, she stuffed the envelope directly into Nakagawa Nobu's hand.

"this is……"

Nakagawa Nobuyuki looked at the envelope in his hand, which had pointed corners and emitted a faint floral scent, and raised his head with some confusion to look at Ichichi Hoshika in front of him.

"How should I know what this is... Hiroi asked me to give it to you, and he specifically told me not to open it."

Yijizhi Xingge also spread his hands, indicating that he didn't know either.

Hiroi Kikuri?

Why write a letter to myself...why not just send a Line message? - Oh, I don’t think I have added her on Line yet?

Nakagawa Nobuyuki blinked in confusion, and with the help of the ceiling light above the counter, he slowly tore open the carefully sealed hinges.

In the envelope, there was only a neatly folded piece of letter paper. The beautiful small handwriting was like a small flower, quietly blooming on the snow-white paper.

"What what? Can I see it?"

At this moment, Kita Ikuyo, who was like a little sun, suddenly came out from behind the counter with shining eyes and looked at Nakagawa Nobuyuki with big eyes.

"…It shouldn't be a big deal."

Although Nakagawa Nobu was a little hesitant, not knowing whether he should show this thing to others, he looked into Kirakira's big eyes and slowly said:

"Well, if there's nothing private, I'll show it to everyone."

Of course, it is impossible to show it to others directly. After all, Hiroi also told the store manager not to open it. Maybe it is something very important.

Although Kita looked a little regretful, he also said that he could understand it. Then he sat aside expectantly, waiting for Nakagawa Nobuyuki to finish reading this neatly written letter.

Nakagawa Nobuyuki looked at the people around him who were curious but tactfully did not come over to him. Then he turned his eyes and looked at the letter paper.

"To the young man in Zhonghe..."

……

"To the young man in Zhonghe..."
