Love? Please allow me to simulate it first!

[Once, you carried a guitar in school, which attracted the attention of Ritsu Tainaka and Mio Akiyama, who you had met once. They asked if you were willing to join the light music club, but you rejected them on the grounds that you needed to participate in the band's practice. They didn't seem to be too disappointed, but instead became interested in your band. You promised them that you would let them know if there was a performance, and they seemed very excited and even wanted to bring the other two members of the light music club to support you.]

“Why are we back to the same path again! No, no, no, this time even though the light music club may all go to watch the performance of the closing band, my position has changed from a light music club member to a closing band member. Um, no problem.”

[You soon had your first official performance. As expected, there was a typhoon that day. As expected, all the members of the light music department were present. Since they were not familiar with you, you just said hello briefly, but you could still see that they seemed to be curious about the environment here.]

[You and the other members were very nervous about your first appearance on stage. The expressions of the lead singer Kita Ikuyo and her opponent Ijichi Nijika, who had to speak, made the atmosphere awkward for a while. However, Goto Ichiri's wonderful solo and the support of the light music club made it pass.]

[The effect of your first performance on stage was not too bad. Although it did not liven up the atmosphere, no one cared. As a first performance, it was still successful. After saying goodbye to the light music club, you went to a celebration party. At the celebration party, you also met a junior who seemed to be the store manager, a drunkard sister who played bass.]

[Although this guy is an alcoholic, he seems to be a bassist and lead singer in a little-known band.]

[At the celebration party, Ijichi Kouka called you and Goto Ichiri out. She seemed to have discovered that "Guitar Hero" was Goto Ichiri, and asked you if you had already discovered it. After getting a positive answer, she said that her dream was to end the band's name and make the "Stars" band her sister opened for her famous.]

[You and Goto Ichiri both agreed to help her realize her dream, and the three of you became close because of this.]

"The elder sister opened a live house for the younger sister, and the younger sister formed a band to promote the reputation of the elder sister's live house? Is this a plot from some comic book?"

Chapter 10: Stealing the House

The lunch break passed quickly, and Nakamura Mine had no plans to continue simulating in class. He only had a few simulations now, so he was not in a hurry. He did not plan to use up all the simulations at once before he understood how to get new simulations. Although he was indeed envious of the many skills in the mall, there was especially a skill called "Mastery of All Instruments" that made him particularly excited. No matter how he thought about it, as long as he got this skill, it would be much more convenient for his next simulations and in reality.

Unfortunately, the 29 points were too high for him with only points left, but maybe he could look forward to the lottery?

On his way home from school, when he passed by a residential building, Nakamura Mine was stunned by the sound of a guitar coming faintly from a closed room on the second floor. He had followed the "Guitar Hero" account created by Goto Ichiri on his mobile phone today, and was indeed impressed by the other party's guitar skills and bragging skills.

The sharp sound of the sweeping piano on the second floor just now made him feel somewhat familiar, and he looked at the house number.

Hmm, it says "Goto"...

Could this be... No, it's too much of a coincidence anyway, but maybe...

"Hehe, don't blame me, Goto-san, this must be fate, hehehe~"

A strange smile gradually appeared on Nakamura Mine's face, which scared a passing woman who was looking at the young handsome man so much that she shuddered suddenly and then trotted away.

Nakamura Mine randomly found a Japanese confectionery shop nearby and bought some snacks as gifts of comfort. Then he rang the doorbell of Goto's house with a smile on his face.

"Yes, wait a moment." A gentle female voice came from behind the door. If nothing unexpected happened, the owner of this voice should be Goto Ichiri's mother.

"you are?"

When he saw that the person who opened the door was a woman with pink hair who looked 60% similar to Goto Ichiri, Nakamura Mine was sure that it was a sure thing. He didn't expect that he would end up at Goto's house in this way even though he didn't go to the office to ask for the address.

"Excuse me, is this Goto Ichiri's home? I'm her classmate and friend. I heard that she was sick at home, so I came to visit her. Ah, these are gifts. I remember Goto Ichiri said that this Japanese confectionery shop near her home tastes very good. I wonder if I got the wrong one." Nakamura Mine smiled and handed the gifts to Goto's mother.

"Um, Auntie?" Nakamura Mine looked at Goto's mother who was standing there with her mouth open with some surprise, wondering what was wrong with her.

Could it be that Goto Ichiri's family members are also severely socially anxious like her? If that's the case, what kind of family would it be...

"Friends?" Goto's mother asked dully.

"Well (this is a lie)"

"One mile?"

"Ah."

"Really?"

"Uh-huh."

How surprised are you? Your eyes are full of disbelief. Can you be so surprised just because your daughter has friends at school?

"Hubby! Naoki! Ichiri has a friend from school coming to visit her! And it's a boy!"

A moment later, a man with long bangs rushed from the living room to the entrance in a panic, and then looked at Nakamura Mine with the same surprised expression as his wife. Two little tails followed him and looked at him with curious eyes.

"Ichi, are you a friend of Ichiri?"

"Yes."

"Are you a real friend?"

"Yes."

"You weren't paid to do this, were you?"

"..."

What kind of image do you have in your parents' minds, Goto Ichiri...

"At least I didn't receive any money..."

Although that may not be the case next Monday.

"Um, can I come in?"

"Ah, yes, of course. Please come in, I'll go get some tea. Barley tea, please?"

"Well, that's troublesome."

There was a lot of noise downstairs, and the sound insulation quality of the residential house was naturally not very good. The noise here naturally attracted the attention of Goto Ichiri, who was practicing guitar. She was now lying on the corner of the stairs, trembling all over, and trembling secretly. Nakamura Mine noticed this and gave her a "kind smile".

Demon invasion!!!

Why, why, why is Nakamura-san at my house? How did he know the address? Is he following me? Is this a premeditated plan to completely eliminate me who is an eyesore?! Don’t do that!!!

Unlike Goto Ichiri who was lost in a brainstorm, the scene in the living room was harmonious.

"Is your sudden visit a bit of a bother?"

"No, no, no, we are very happy to know that Ichiri actually has friends in school, right Michiyo?" Goto's father, Goto Naoki, seemed to be very happy about this, or even a little touched? Nakamura Mine felt a little guilty knowing that he was lying, but when he thought that he came here mainly to prevent Goto Ichiri from really torturing himself for a week, this guilt soon dissipated.

There is a great cause behind me.

"Yeah, Ichiri always says that he has a lot of friends at school, but we know at first glance that he is lying. But even if he only has one friend, we are relieved." Ichiri Goto's mother, Michiyo Goto, looked relieved.

"Ha, ha, is that so?"

I always feel that this topic is a bit heavy. Is that why?

"By the way, how did Nakamura-kun and Ichiri become friends?" Goto Naoki asked expectantly. However, this question did not stump Nakamura Mine, who had already prepared an answer in his mind. He spoke without any hesitation.

"Well, I recently started learning guitar, and Goto-san is pretty good at playing the guitar, right? So I asked her for advice, and we became friends."

"Is that so? I told you, music can bring people together."

"Yes, but Goto-san plays the guitar so well, could it be that uncle is also an expert in this field?"

"Ahaha, can you tell? It's true that I played in a band when I was young, but Yili basically taught herself to play guitar. In the past two years, she has practiced until very late every day. Today was no exception. She insisted on practicing for six hours even though she was sick."

"Two years?! Can you teach yourself to this level in two years?! I guess you inherited the talent of a musician."

"No, no, no, it's not that exaggerated, haha."

It was such a joyful occasion! Goto Ichiri shouted in his heart.

Dad, Mom, don't be deceived, that person is, that person is——

Devil!

Chapter 11: Erli is such a good sister

"Hey, big brother, big brother, what is my sister like in school? Do you always like to talk to yourself and stand there in a daze?"

The little girl with two silly hairs standing on both sides of her pink doll head is Goto Ichiri's sister, Goto Jiri. Unlike the gloomy and socially anxious Goto Ichiri, her sister is a very lively child.

"Well, haha, to be honest, Goto-san at school gives people a feeling that he is difficult to approach, and he also does a lot of strange things, but now I think a lot of them are just to attract the attention of people with the same hobbies."

"Eh? What's the matter? Tell me quickly." Goto Jiri kept shaking Nakamura Mine's thighs, urging him to continue.

"Eri, this is very rude!" Goto Michiyo taught her.

“Well, but…”

"No, it's okay, I don't mind."

But I mind it very much!

Goto Ichiri was tapping the floor in a dark corner.

"Hey, what did my sister do?"

"Well, for example, he put the CD on the desk and sat there blankly all day, and he also carried band peripherals around the school. Ah, the most memorable thing was the hardcore death metal song that Goto ordered during lunch break. That was really the quietest and noisiest lunch break we had (the quiet ones were the classmates, the noisy one was the radio)."

"Haha, this is really like my sister." Goto Jiri said the last sentence that sunk her sister with the most innocent laughter.

No! I don't want to think about those memories! Forget it, forget it, forget it, my brain!

Goto Ichiri is trying to use his body to clean the floor of his home. He is really a good child who helps his mother with her worries. Nakamura Mine, who noticed all this, sighed and calmly drank a sip of barley tea.

Unlike the heartless Erri, Goto Ichiri's parents were very ashamed of their daughter's behavior at this time.

That child is obviously very shy, but he can actually do something so eye-catching...

Although it's a bad thing.

"Ahem, let's not talk about this anymore. How is Goto-san's illness? Is it really serious?"

"Ah, well, there's basically no problem now, but I'm really worried that the kid will do something to make herself sick again tonight. She always does this when she doesn't want to go to school. Even if she tells us honestly, we can ask for leave for her." Goto Michiyo said with a worried look on her face, expressing her concern that the chances of it happening were very high.

"It doesn't matter, I will take action."

"Eh?"

"Ahem, I mean I roughly know why Goto doesn't want to go to school. It's okay, I'll help you persuade her."

"Really? What's the reason?"

"Well, that's it. Isn't it time for graduation? Classmates have started passing notes to each other, leaving messages, or writing each other's names on their school uniforms. Anyway, that atmosphere is probably what makes Goto-san feel awkward, right?"

Following Nakamura Mine's words, the Goto family imagined that during the break the whole class was preparing this souvenir for the upcoming farewell, but Goto Ichiri was the only one who was completely ignored. It seemed that Goto Ichiri was the only one who seemed out of place in the entire classroom. They thought about the scene for a while, and then fell into silence.

That kind of situation is very likely to happen to their daughter/sister.

"Then I'll leave it to you, Nakamura-san. I'll leave Ichiri to you."

"No, you are too kind, uncle."

By the way, why does it sound like the tone of an old father who is about to marry off his daughter? Is it an illusion? Yes, it must be an illusion. And can you please stop looking at me with such expectation, madam? Your daughter is only in junior high school.

As for Goto Ichiri who was hiding, she had already died after hearing Nakamura Mine's description, and she skipped the cremation process and turned directly into a pile of dust.

Dear Mom and Dad, no, that's not the reason I'm not going to school. Although it's not like that, it seems like that kind of thing will become a reality 100%, so I don't want to go to school even more now. I will drop out of school. I will definitely drop out of school. At least please let me live in the closet by taking a leave of absence before the high school entrance exam.

The closet is the entire space of my world - Ichiri Goto.

"It's about time. I'll go check on Goto-san. Where is her room?"

"It's on the second floor, shall I take you there?" Goto Jiri volunteered.

"Then I'll leave it to you. Erli is really a capable child."

"Hey hey hey."

"Wang!"

After hearing these words, Goto Ichiri resurrected at the speed of light, quickly crawled back to his room in a strange posture, and then locked himself in the closet.

“Does this Shiba Inu have a name?”

"Well, its name is Jimmy Hen."

"That's a really cool name."

"Woof!"

"Jimmy Hen is great?"

"Well, that's the name of the man who is recognized as the greatest guitarist in the history of rock and roll, and is known as the God of Guitar, even someone like me who was still an outsider not long ago."

"Huh? I don't quite understand, but anyway Jimmy Hen is pretty awesome, right?"

"That's about it."

"Wang Wang!"

"Here we are. This is my sister's room. Sister, your friend is here to play with you." Erli said as he opened the door of his sister's room, but there was no one inside.

No, I'm not here to play, um... maybe a little?

"Sister must have hidden in the closet again."

boom!
