"Oh, bye-bye."

"……Um."

After a long silence, Wakaba Mutsu finally spoke his first words since Ichiji Nijika appeared.

"Oh, I just wanted to tell you something."

伊地知虹7夏走到4一半又停下脚步,回身用9着异常严肃0的语气对二人i说着。】□0∠

"You guys came specifically for CK Hack, right? This band will be the first to start, so as a friendly reminder from newly acquainted friends, please don't watch the show from the very front of the band!"

"That's it, bye-bye!"

After saying that, Ichiji Nijika carried the box to the beverage counter. While unloading the goods, she talked to a blue-haired girl who was lazily guarding the counter. Halfway through the conversation, she seemed to be provoked and took out a drumstick from her pocket and hit the girl on the head.

"Can't she sit in the front row...? Mu, why do you think she said that?"

Kusano Akira looked in the direction of Ijichi Nijika with a puzzled expression, and asked Wakaba Mutsumi without turning his head.

"do not know."

Ruoye Mu shook her head, indicating that she was unaware of the matter.

"Um……"

Kusano Akira decided not to listen to Ijichi Nijika's advice.

Since you've made the rare trip to a live house, how can you not experience the magic of the band up close? After all, this is a rock band, and the closer you are to them, the better the experience!

Furthermore, "My Bass Will Never Be Dull" strongly recommended that he sit in the front row, saying that only in this way can he experience the full charm of the band.

"..."

Seeing that Kusano Akira had no intention of taking the advice seriously, Wakaba Mutsu felt that he was probably in big trouble.

........................

Soon it was time for the performance to begin.

Just as he had expected, Kusano Akira took the initiative to grab a seat in the very front row—though it wasn't exactly a grab, since no one else was in the front except for him and the pink-haired girl; everyone was squeezed in the back.

Originally, there was another person, Wakaba Mutsu, who was ahead of them, but she said she wanted to listen to Ijichi Nijika's advice and resolutely refused Kusano Akira's invitation.

Seriously, there's no rock and roll spirit.

They're both from well-to-do families, but in this respect, they're completely inferior to the pink-haired girl next to them.

So what if they're at the front? Even in America, the worst that happens is a musician fighting with an audience member. This is relatively safe Japan, how could anything more serious happen here?

Kusano Akira felt he was no longer afraid.

And what about Goto Ichiri, who was right next to him? Goto Ichiri was practically melting.

She originally thought that since it was a rare opportunity to see a live house show, it might be one of the only two such experiences she would ever have, so she made a special effort to grab a front-row seat to get the best experience.

But to my surprise, the group of people who came here all seemed to have made a pact, and no one rushed to take the front seats. Instead, they all willingly stayed in the back.

Even those ragtag scum at the end of the two centuries were like that.

This resulted in only her and the 'school bully' standing conspicuously at the front.

She was terrified. She was still young, she had never been in a relationship, and she didn't want to go into the mine like this.

At this point, trying to force our way back would only result in something like: 2.

"You little brat, you look down on standing with me? Get in the mine!" - Leek

【Nooo ...

This kind of thing happens, doesn't it? (Lin)

Today is truly a day of doom for her.

"...Ahem, can you hear me?"

As the performance officially began, the pitch-black stage gradually glowed with light, and at the edge of the audience's sight, the three members of CK Hack were already standing on the stage. (Five)

The stage spotlight cast a soft purple glow on the bassist's hair, which was styled in a thick braid that wrapped around her neck, with loose strands falling lazily to her delicate collarbone, swaying gently as she casually strummed the bass strings. Lu

She tilted her head slightly, her jawline outlined in a soft yet sharp curve in the dim light. Although her facial features were obscured by the light, the subtle blush on them was more striking than any other color.

"Huh? Why can't I hear you? Is the microphone broken?"

Some indistinct words came from the microphone. The bassist—Kikuri Hiroi—squinted her eyes and looked at the microphone with a puzzled expression.

"It's not broken, so why?"

"Oh right, it's been a long time since everyone's been enthusiastic about my performances. Sorry, I forgot, hahaha..."

Completely oblivious to the lack of response to her words, Hiroi Kikuri laughed heartily twice, and the earrings with the words 'Demon' and 'Kill' written on them swayed gently.

"..."

Is he drunk?

Kusano Akira listened to Hiroi Kikuri's somewhat delusional tone and thought uncertainly.

You really can't blame him for thinking that way. After all, Hiroi Kikuri's mumbled voice and her self-amusing Q&A on stage really made Kusano Akira see the image of a drunkard.

The biggest difference between her and those drunkards is that drunkards are usually middle-aged, disillusioned office workers, but Hiroi Kikuri is a beautiful girl in her twenties who maintains bad lifestyle habits yet still looks youthful and beautiful like a high school girl.

No wonder Ichiji Nijika specifically reminded him not to stand in front; now he could completely understand why.

That's really rock and roll! He definitely made the right choice coming to Starry this time.

Jiao, Volume 1:

Chapter 164 (Chapter 161) You are my mentor!!! (2k)

Q: "Sing for me! I came all the way from Hokkaido just to see your performance, you idiot!!!"

The woman on stage U, who seemed to have a fiery temper, was the first to launch an attack on Hiroi Kikuri.

"Ugh—you're so annoying, you jerk! You can sing it, what's the rush?!"

Kikuri Hiroi seemed to have gotten used to this stage environment. She took a slow sip from the beer can with the straw in her hand, gave the audience the middle finger, and then casually tossed it aside.

8. "Okay, so next we're going to sing... what was it again? Ahaha, sorry, I think I forgot."

5 “Baka!”

"Ya ge!"

"Tie Baa!"

"Korakora!!!"

At that moment, the crowd below the stage was filled with indignation.

"..."

"..."

"This...this is rock and roll?! It's amazing!"

Looking at Hiroi Kikuri, Kusano Akira and Goto Ichiri, their eyes filled with shock, said in unison. After they finished speaking, they realized that what they said seemed to be repeating what others had said, and they both turned to look at each other.

"...So you think it's great too, right!"

Seeing that Goto Ichiri had finally managed to shake off some of her fear with the strange rock music opening, but was now trembling again because of the coincidence, Kusano Akira looked at her with shining eyes and said.

What's going on? Is it because it's the first time he's been so close to the rock music he's always longed for? He just can't stop feeling excited.

Looking at the girl beside him now, he had a strong feeling of 'where in the world can one find a soulmate'.

Thoughts like, "Even though it's our first meeting, this person might really understand me," kept popping into my head. Could this be what it feels like to find a kindred spirit?

To be able to utter the same exclamation as him at this moment, this must not be a mere coincidence! He had a feeling that this person in front of him would definitely have a deep connection with him in the future.

Perhaps it will be the kind of 'friendship' he truly seeks, the kind that allows him to fully immerse himself in it!

"...Ah, ah..."

Goto Ichiri's legs trembled slightly, wishing she could transform into a wild serpent and disappear into the crowd, vanishing from the sight of the boy who had suddenly spoken to her.

What a disastrous start! Not only did I fail to find that chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) sufferer, but I also got targeted by this seemingly intimidating villain! Although this villain's smile is surprisingly sunny, and his cheeks even have a faint blush from excitement, making him look somewhat cute, he's still quite frightening!

Moreover, she had already noticed that the green-haired girl was staring at her with murderous eyes! If it weren't for the crowd blocking her way, Goto Ichiri had no doubt that the girl would have attacked her directly.

"Um... ah... you're right..."

Goto Ichiri shrank back, her collarbone brushing lightly against the soft fabric. She nervously clasped her hands together in front of her chest, avoiding Kusano Akira's burning gaze. Her eyelashes and body trembled like startled butterflies, but she desperately stretched out a smile that seemed somewhat ingratiating.

"you?"

Kusano Akira blinked in confusion. The other person's behavior seemed a bit strange to him, but he was in a state of high excitement and didn't pay attention to such a small detail. Instead, he took another step towards Goto Ichiri and grasped her soft little hands that were clasped together.

Dad: "You really think it's amazing, don't you! I knew my feeling was right, you must have a rock and roll soul!"

Goto Ichiri froze as he looked at their clasped hands.

7 What the hell is wrong with this person?! Why is he so shameless?! Doesn't he know that men and women shouldn't touch each other?! Or does he have those kinds of thoughts about this gloomy, ugly woman?!

That kind of thing with Lu is unacceptable! No matter how bad her own conditions are, she doesn't want to just hand over her whole life in such a muddled way!

If possible, Lu would like her ending to be becoming famous and successful through music, and then one day suddenly announcing that "world superstar Goto Ichiri has retired and married a certain club member" instead of "a gloomy girl who was taken in, played with, and then cruelly abandoned by the school bully, and in the end could only raise her child alone and live in hell every day"!

“shooooo…”

Goto Ichiri's lips trembled as he tried several times to remind Kusano Akira that it wasn't good for his hands to be entangled with hers, but the first syllable of the sentence always broke off before he could finish speaking.

She didn't have the courage to say it! Who knows if she did, or if the other person would get so angry that they'd throw her into the mine!

Son: [You foolish woman, how dare you refuse me! You're clearly just an ugly woman! Get into the mine!]

"Oh, I'm sorry, I was rude."

Unaware that he had become a mining tycoon in Goto Ichiri's eyes, Kusano Akira noticed his own predicament as he followed the line of Goto Ichiri's gaze. He quickly let go of Goto Ichiri's hand and smiled at her somewhat embarrassedly.

Takamatsu and Wakaba's lack of boundaries has slightly led him astray, causing him to unconsciously engage in such inappropriate behavior.

Honestly, he never used to be like this.

"..."

The moment the sensation disappeared, Goto Ichiri quickly withdrew his hand, hiding it tightly behind his back, and lowered his head to purse his lips.

How terrifying! The outside world is so terrifying! All she wants now is to go back into her little closet and stay there forever, never to come out again.

Waaaaah, Your Majesty! Your best friend is being harassed by a really, really bad guy who looks like a super villain! Please, come and save me! If you're really here!

Goto Ichiri didn't believe that the person in front of her was the 'chuunibyou' she was looking for. In her imagination, 'Kyokugen - the Emperor of War' should look like the most common type of high school student with a watermelon head in all of Japan, and should be as inconspicuous as her - at most a little more dazzling than her, after all, he can form a band.

In any case, it couldn't possibly be the kind of person scattered across the pond like the one in front of me.

"Could you please tell me your name?"

Kusano Akira put on what he thought was the kindest smile and took another step forward.

"...!"

Goto Ichiri didn't want to get too close to him, but she was also afraid that her actions would anger him, so she took a small step back—less than 1 cm away.

"Ah, is it really better to introduce yourself first? I'm so sorry."

Kusano Akira looked at Goto Ichiri's silent demeanor, paused for a moment, and then spoke.

"My name is Kusano Akira, and I am a first-year student at Haneoka."

Volume 1: Chapter 165. You are Goto... Ri?! (2k)

Akira Kusano?

Upon hearing the name, Goto Ichiri was momentarily dazed. The boy in front of her was dazzled by the bright lights, and his face, which looked even more terrifying, gradually crumbled like a tissue being crumpled in water, along with everything around him.

The cool older sister on stage, the audience below who were cursing but had happy expressions, their attention wasn't on the stage, but on the green-haired girl she was wearing, the blonde older sister with a fierce expression when she entered, the people dressed like detectives, the sneaky people, the small fry from the end of the two centuries, the lights in the air, the fine dust floating up, the noisy sounds, the constantly pounding heart—all of it was slowly diffused and undulated like ripples on the surface of water from a drop of ink.

In the end, all the sounds, the images, the discomfort vanished, leaving only darkness and a square screen glowing in the darkness. The familiar scene made her gasp. Nine

She went back to her cupboard.

Goto Ichiri, as if just realizing what was happening, stretched out his arms, frantically groping around in the suddenly cramped space.

It was indeed her closet; the somber smell of mothballs, the comfortingly small and dark atmosphere, and the only light coming from the laptop screen—all conveyed the same message.

Why? How did she suddenly get back here? Wasn't she just in the live house a moment ago?

Could it be that heaven heard her prayers and truly allowed her to return to her cupboard?
