Love? Please allow me to simulate it first!

"Vegeta, hehehe, so cool..." Goto Ichiri giggled when she heard the name given to the guitar by Nakamura Mine. She thought that if it were her, she would definitely give the same name.

"As expected of Nijiya, such sharp criticism." Yamada Ryoko clapped on the side.

"Um... please don't make loud noises in the store..." The noise made by Nakamura Mine and the others finally attracted the clerk with an unhappy look on his face.

"terribly sorry……"

Finally, after Nakamura Mine bought Vegeta, the clerk's face became friendly again.

"So, do you have any recommendations for a store that sells keyboards?" After coming out of the musical instrument store, Nakamura Mine asked Yamada Ryo and Ijichi Kouka again. As for why she didn't ask Pochi, it was because she had never been to a musical instrument store before, and secondly, because she had been made like a deflated balloon by the low pressure of the clerk just now, and she was just dragged away by Ijichi Kouka.

"Follow me!" Yamada Ryo said confidently.

"Oh, it's Ryo as expected."

ten minutes later……

"Well, Ms. Ryo, there's no way they can sell keyboards here, right?" Nakamura Mine looked at the Live House in front of him with the "Shinjuku FOLT" sign on the door, and looked at Yamada Ryo with a very "kind" smile.

"Well, there will always be a band with a keyboard player." Yamada Ryo glanced to the side.

"Haha, do you want me to ask his partner if he wants to sell it?"

"As long as the money is enough, there should be no problem, right?" Yamada Ryo said as if it was a matter of course.

"Hongxia, can I beat her up?" Nakamura Mine knew that he would definitely not get along with the blue guy in front of him.

"Please go ahead, but avoid your face and fingers..." Ijichi Hongxia covered her face. She didn't want to care anymore. It was okay before when only Liang was there, but now she was really too tired.

Playing in a band is really hard, sis...

In the end, Nakamura Mine and the others followed Yamada Ryo into the Live House. In the words of Ijichi Kouka, they regarded it as a place to learn on the spot.

Well, now that I'm here...

The first person I saw after entering the room was a long-haired uncle with many earrings. He looked very fierce. Even Ijichi Hongxia, who was usually full of energy, froze in place after seeing this man.

"Please give us four tickets. We are here to watch the performance of the band 'SICK HACK'." Yamada Ryo walked up to the uncle with ease and said.

"Ah, what a group of lovely guests, especially the young man over there." The uncle, who originally had a bad look on his face, spoke in a coquettish tone, which seemed very incongruous. In particular, he threw a wink at Nakamura Mine, which scared him so much that he took several steps back. It was the first time he had seen this type of person and he didn't know how to respond.

"Thank you, thank you for the compliment?" Nakamura Mine said after swallowing.

"Oh my, what a polite boy. My name is Yoshida Ginjiro, 36 years old, and I'm the manager of this Live House. What about you, little brother?"

"Naka, Nakamura Mine, fifteen years old, sexual orientation is female." Nakamura Mine specially emphasized the last sentence.

"Hehe, don't be so nervous. Although you are cute, I won't do anything to you." Yoshida Ginjiro naturally heard the implication of Nakamura Mine's words, but he didn't seem to care, which made Nakamura Mine feel embarrassed. Now thinking about it, what he said just now was actually quite rude.

"Feel sorry."

"It's okay. This is your first time at FOLT, right? I can give you a 10% discount." Yoshida Ginjiro looked at Nakamura Mine and the others with a smile.

"Thank you very much." Ijichi Hongxia finally escaped from the frightened state just now and hurriedly expressed her gratitude.

"By the way, there's a guitar on the back of Xiaofengfeng, right?" Yoshida Ginjiro tilted his head and looked behind Nakamura Feng.

"Well, I just bought it. It's my first guitar." Nakamura Mine has fully recovered and said with a proud look on his face.

"Wow, that's great! The guitarist of the band 'SICK HACK' that you guys are going to watch has pretty good skills. I think there's a lot we can learn from them. So are you planning to form a band?"

"Yes, although we still lack a lead singer." Ijichi Hongxia replied with a smile.

"In that case, after the live, do you want to learn from the band 'SICK HACK'? Guitarists and bassists aside, drummer Shima is a more reliable person."

"Is it okay?" Ryo Yamada and Nichina Ijichi asked excitedly in unison. Ijichi Nichina probably really wanted to ask questions about the band. Although she could ask her sister directly, her sister was not very frank in everything. Ryo Yamada probably really liked the band and his glasses had turned into the starry eyes of a fan.

"Of course. I think they will be happy to be consulted by such lovely juniors like you."

"Then it's up to you."

Goto Ichiriko, who had been hiding behind a few people, finally suppressed her nervousness after getting the ticket, bowed deeply to the stage that had not yet started, and said:

"Thank you all for the wonderful performance today." After saying that, Goto Ichiri wanted to run towards the entrance, but was stopped by Nakamura Mine who was prepared.

Chapter 41 SICK HACK

"By the way, Ryo, what kind of band is this 'SICK HACK'?" Ijichi Hongxia asked curiously, but as soon as she said this, someone was no longer sleepy.

"It's psychedelic style!" Yamada Ryo said suddenly excitedly.

"Psychedelic?" With Nakamura Mine's understanding of rock, he really didn't know what style psychedelic was, but from the name, he knew that it was probably music that most people would find difficult to appreciate, right?

"Psychedelic rock, which was popular in the mid-to-late 20s, is one of the products of the hippie movement. Its musical features are deafeningly strong rhythms and sharp and loud electric guitars. Unlike heavy metal rock, psychedelic rock has no fixed form and has a lot of improvisation elements. Its melody-less tones are varied and often full of brilliant and wonderful performances..." Yamada Ryo seemed to have turned on a magical switch, and the words in his mouth kept popping out like a machine gun.

This is probably unique to people who don't like to talk normally, but once they talk about the areas they are interested in, they will evolve into super chatty people?

"That's enough, that's enough. I already know that this is a very powerful rock genre. It will be faster to understand it if I listen to the live performance next." Nakamura Mine directly covered Yamada Ryo's mouth, which was talking very fast. He wanted her to continue talking, but he fell asleep before watching the performance.

After Yamada Ryo nodded, Nakamura Mine finally released the hand that was covering her mouth.

"Well done, Afeng. If we didn't do this, our ears wouldn't be quiet before the performance starts." Yijichi Hongxia gave a thumbs up.

"No, but, Senior Liang also has times when he talks so much." Goto Ichiri said admiringly. She couldn't speak so clearly and at such a speed. She must have bitten her tongue after saying just two words, right?

"Pochi-chan, Ryou only becomes like this when talking about things related to music and money. Although she usually has an expressionless face and looks a little scary, she is actually just a weird person who loves music and has a weird personality." Ijichi Hongka said this mainly for Goto Ichiri to hear, because she could see that Goto Ichiri was actually a little afraid of the expressionless Yamada Ryo.

"Hehehe~" Yamada Ryo was very proud.

"No, I'm not complimenting you."

"It's about to begin." Nakamura Mine said as he saw the curtain on the stage gradually rolling up.

The other three also focused their eyes on the stage again. A band consisting of only three people appeared with colorful lampshades.

Drummer, guitarist, and bassist?

Wait, is there nothing wrong with this bass player?

Nakamura Mine and his group were at the very front of the stage, so they could see everything very clearly. The bassist, who was standing in the center of the stage and seemed to be also serving as the lead singer, had a flushed face and a dazed look in his eyes. He was also staggering as if he would fall to the ground at any moment. Nakamura Mine could also smell a strong odor of alcohol.

The bassist must have been drunk, right? How could he go on stage in this state? And the drummer's expression was scary. Why was the foreign guitarist so unaffected between these two people?

Is there really nothing wrong with this band?

"I'm very sorry. I drank a little too much today. Hehe, please forgive me if I forget the lyrics later. Well, isn't that what a rock live is like?" The drunk bassist held the microphone, grinning foolishly and talking nonsense.

"Is this rock and roll?" This was the first time for Nakamura Mine to watch a rock band live at such a close distance, except for the one he saw from afar among the stars yesterday. Of course, the same was true for Goto Ichiri.

They were shocked.

"No, this is an exception. The only one who's weird is the bassist!" Ijichi Hongxia tried to correct the two team members' impressions of rock, but her voice was soon drowned out by the voices of other audiences.

"What the hell! He's drinking before the live!"

"What do you know? This is Guangjing!"

"That's right, that's right!"

"It's really easy to distinguish fans of the 'SICK HACK' band from passers-by..." Nakamura Mine complained, and Ijichi Kouka and Goto Ichiri nodded in agreement. But no matter what, the atmosphere before the concert did become quite lively because of the performance of the bassist, so it was quite a success if we only say this.

Finally, the performance of "SICK HACK" officially began.

To be honest, after listening to Yamada Ryo's introduction, he could feel that "SICK HACK" should be a very powerful band, but he didn't feel anything. In the previous simulation, he did become a very powerful band member, but in reality he was still a complete newbie. He even disdained rock bands because he thought that rock was just a toy for gangsters and rich people, and those who indulged in it and spent money on it were idiots.

Meeting Goto Ichiri and the others did change his stereotype of rock music, and the content in the simulation made him somewhat interested in it, but that was all. He could never understand what real rock music was and why so many people were crazy about it. He didn't understand, but he wanted to try to understand.

Now, standing here, he seemed to understand the reason enough. It was heavy, chaotic, but possessed an incomparable momentum. He could feel it more clearly because he was standing in the front row. The thick wall of sound seemed to be erected in front of him. He could not see it, but could clearly feel its power. He seemed to understand why this style was called "psychedelic".

This kind of disordered music that could induce endless reverie was undoubtedly the first time he had come into contact with it. Although he was unable to make a qualified and objective evaluation of it, he was very sure at the moment that he seemed to have fallen into the chaotic world created by the three people on the stage.

Especially the drunk bassist who stood in the middle of the stage with a presence that could not be ignored. Her stage presence had the power to attract everyone's attention. Because she was special, she attracted everyone's attention.

Is this what Pochi has always longed for?

Nakamura Mine briefly shifted her gaze to Goto Ichiri. At this moment, she was no longer as cautious as usual when she went out. Like everyone else, she focused all her attention on the stage. No, what she could see must be more than what everyone else could see. Not only her, but also Ijichi Kouka and Yamada Ryo. They all worked hard for this, so they must be able to appreciate how dazzling the person on the stage is.

He also wanted to become like them.

Chapter 42 Is this rock and roll?

"Hiccup~"

When the first song ended, the bassist on the stage suddenly pulled out a cheap-looking bottle of wine from the pocket of his baseball jacket, and then drank it directly into his mouth as if nothing had happened.

"Haha~ It feels so good, guys! Drink, drink!"

The bassist of "SICK HACK" seemed to have completely forgotten that he was in the middle of a live performance, and was completely focused on the drink in front of him.

"Damn Hiroi! Hurry up and move on to the next song!" It was obvious that even the fans of "SICK HACK" couldn't sit still. They didn't pay to come here to watch this guy drink, so why don't you get on with the performance!

"This is rock 'n' roll..." All the band members except Ijichi Koka sighed solemnly.

"It's really eye-opening." Nakamura Mine was very impressed. This performance really made him learn a lot. It is really admirable that rock music would go to such lengths to gain popularity.

"So that's why it's not the case! This is just an exception among exceptions, for sure!" Ijichi Hongxia felt that the members she had recruited with great difficulty might end up in a bad direction because of this performance.

"What nonsense are you bastards talking about? How are we supposed to perform a live show without drinking enough alcohol!!!" the bassist named Hiroi yelled into the microphone, as if what she said really made sense.

"I'm Hiroi Kikuri, the talented bassist who loves wine and bass the most. You guys stop talking nonsense." Although she said that she loved bass the most, she had already started waving her bass as a weapon at the audience. It can be seen that the drummer sitting in the back seemed to be so angry that his body began to be surrounded by visible black mist, and his expression was also like that. Some people would believe that she had killed at least a dozen humans.

Nakamura Mine had seen a video online of Jimmy Hen setting his guitar on fire on stage. I guess the self-proclaimed genius bassist, Ms. Hiroi Kikuri, is doing something similar now? By the way, does the name Hiroi Kikuri sound familiar to you?

Hiroi Kikuri, bassist…

"Gah!!!" Just when Nakamura Mine was still thinking about where he had heard this name, his eyes suddenly went dark, and then he felt something hard hit his face, causing him to fall backwards with his forehead on the ground. Fortunately, Goto Ichiri and Ijichi Kouka beside him reacted quickly, each holding an arm to hold Nakamura Mine, who didn't know what was going on. As for Yamada Ryo, she was also trying hard to hold back her laughter.

Nakamura Mine stared at the ceiling blankly. His face, which looked even more handsome after being groomed, was now covered with two obvious red marks, which were caused by the wooden clogs worn by a genius bassist.

Two streams of red blood flowed out from Nakamura Mine's swollen nose.

"Afeng!" Ijichi Hongxia quickly took out the handkerchief she carried with her and covered Nakamura Feng's nose. The originally white handkerchief was soon stained with a deep red color. It can be predicted that it will be difficult for this handkerchief to return to its original clean color.

"Someone's dead, dead, dead!? Ambulance! Huh? What's the ambulance number?" Goto Ichiri's facial features were in a mess.

Yamada Ryo still couldn't hold it back.

Ah, is that so…

This wasn't some impromptu performance by Hiroi Kikuri. She was just completely drunk and mad...

I just felt that the name Hiroi Kikuri was familiar. Isn't this the guy who came to the celebration party to eat and drink for free in the simulation?

Seeing that she had actually drawn a boy's blood, Hiroi Kikuri's brain, which was 80% filled with alcohol, instantly became much clearer, especially after her family's drummer grabbed the back of the neck, cold sweat instantly soaked her back.

"Shi-Shima?"

"Hiroi... Give! Me! Death! Assume! Your! Sin!"

"No!"

In the backstage of "FOLT", Hiroi Kikuri knelt in front of Nakamura Mine with tears in her eyes. Behind her stood her sullen-faced drummer Iwashita Shima and "FOLT" boss Yoshida Ginjiro.

"I'm very sorry, I'm reflecting on my mistakes, so please forgive me~" Hiroi Kikuri begged for mercy. Although she was talking to Nakamura Mine, all her attention was focused on Iwashita Shima behind her.

"Oh, I'm very sorry. As you can see, Hiroi is such an unreliable person. I apologize to you on her behalf for the trouble I have caused you." Iwashita Shima, who had a face as dark as ink, regained a very normal expression when talking to Nakamura Mine and the others. It would be better to say that he was a well-spoken and very serious guy. This also indirectly proved that Hiroi Kikuri really pissed her off.

But since they can still form a band together even after all this, does it mean that their relationship is actually very good?

"Oh, what a disaster." The blond foreign guitarist on the stage also waved to Nakamura Mine.

"No, it's not a big deal. I don't care." Nakamura Mine shrugged. He was not so squeamish as to cry and make a fuss just because he had a nosebleed. Besides, there was no point in competing with a drunkard.

"Really? Woohoo~ You're such a good person, brother! Let me treat you to a beer." Hiroi Kikuri stood up happily immediately after hearing what Nakamura Mine said, and was about to take out the beer hidden in her pocket, but her hand was grabbed by Iwashita Shima, whose forehead veins were throbbing.

"Can't you see he's still underage!?"

"Eh? How old are you, little brother?"

"15."

"How can this be allowed? How can a child like you ask an adult for wine? Are you actually a delinquent?"

boom!

Iwashita Shima didn't say much and directly used his fists to stop Hiroi Kikuri's counterattack.

"Wow~" the blond foreign guitarist exclaimed, but his expression was very normal, as if this scene was not uncommon in daily life.
