Chapter 137 Invitation
"Did that guy send you here to laugh at us!?"
According to Nakamura Mine, this domineering lady's name should be Yasaka Haruha, and she is the guitarist and captain of their band. The other short-haired girl who is a cell phone addict and behaves indifferently is the drummer named Hoshiguma Utabuki.
"Do you think Liang is the kind of person who would do such a boring thing? And if it's a taunt, it would be more comfortable to do it yourself, right?" Nakamura Mine helped the other side to analyze the situation reasonably, but unfortunately they didn't seem to appreciate it.
"Hehe, you're worthy of being that guy's friend. What he says is just as nice." Yasaka Haruha said with disdain, curling her lips.
Hearing this, Nakamura Mine was stunned at first, then scratched his head and said embarrassedly:
"It's not as good as you say~"
"Can't you hear that I'm speaking sarcastically?!" Yasaka Haruha said angrily, but then a sense of déjà vu made her silent again.
"Ryo used to say this a lot..." Hoshiguma Utabuki said for the first time.
"Stop talking, Utabuki. There's nothing much to say about that traitor." Yasaka Haruha seemed reluctant to mention anything about Ryo. She frowned and stopped Hoshiguma Utabuki from continuing.
"How is Liang now?" Ignoring Yasaka Haruha who was obstructing her, Hoshiguma Utabuki continued to ask Nakamura Mine.
"Utabuki!"
(I see. I almost understand the relationship between them...) Looking at the reactions of the two people in front of him, Nakamura Mine already had a general understanding of their personalities and their relationship with each other.
"Ryo is performing on the street with me and two other people now." There was no intention to hide this, as this was the main purpose of his trip. Nakamura Mine explained the situation to the other party openly.
"On the street? Haha~ It really suits that guy's performance style." Yasaka Haruha seemed to want to make a mockery, but unfortunately, the two people present had no intention of paying attention.
"Have you formed a new band?"
"No, we just got together temporarily to have fun." Nakamura Mine answered honestly. Although it is true that they will be a band in the future, for now they are just a temporary group.
"Is that so..." Hoshiguma Utabuki's words were very brief and her facial expressions changed very little, so it was difficult for Nakamura Mine to judge her thoughts through these. However, he could detect from her tone that she did not seem to have as much hostility towards Yamada Ryo as the other one.
"Hey! Did you hear what I said?" Seeing that no one paid attention to her, Yasaka Haruha suddenly became unhappy. She glared at the two of them, looking like a punched bag. To be honest, Nakamura Mine found this guy annoying, so he still ignored his plan. Hoshiguma Utabuki seemed to have the same plan.
"Would you like to come and see? Ryo and I made a new song together." Nakamura Mine stated his ultimate goal.
"We're not in the mood for that!"
"When?" asked Hoshiguma Utabuki.
"Tomorrow night, um... around eight o'clock, near the stars." Nakamura Mine told the other party in detail. He could see that the other party probably agreed.
Hoshiguma Utabuki nodded as Nakamura Mine expected, then he took out headphones from his pocket, put them on, and continued to browse his phone before leaving.
"Hey!? Utabuki!" Seeing that Hoshikuma Utabuki not only ignored her just now, but also planned to leave her alone immediately, Yasaka Haruha was so angry that she stomped her feet on the spot. In the end, she had no choice but to continue glaring at Nakamura Mine fiercely.
"No photo together~" Seeing that the other party seemed to be planning to keep staring at him before he spoke, Nakamura Mine had to make a joke.
"Who cares!" Yasaka Haruha immediately jumped up.
(This girl has really big mood swings. She is the complete opposite of Liang. The relationship between the two must be bad...)
Of course, this is just a little complaint in Nakamura Mine's heart. In fact, the quality of the relationship between people has nothing to do with whether their personalities are similar. For example, the personalities of Tainaka Ritsu and Akiyama Mio are quite different, but they have a friendship that anyone can see.
"Let me make it clear in advance. Even though that ungrateful guy Utabuki has agreed, no matter what you say, I will absolutely! Absolutely! Absolutely not go!" Yasaka Haruha expressed her position with a somewhat exaggerated expression.
"Oh, goodbye then." After hearing what Yasaka Haruha said, Nakamura Mine said it without hesitation and was about to leave.
"Wait a moment!" When Yasaka Haruha saw that Nakamura Minato was really planning to leave, she quickly grabbed his clothes. Because she grabbed it very hard, Nakamura Minato, who was left with only this top, almost ran back to Fanxing naked. Of course, she still had a slightly larger change of clothes, which was thrown to her by Ijichi Hoshige. It seemed to be an old piece of clothes of her and Ijichi Kouka's father.
"Be gentle!" Nakamura Mine looked back speechlessly at the girl whose face was reddening because she was not sure whether she was angry or not. How did he say that? If you don't agree with me, there's no need to talk to her anymore. He really didn't want to talk to her anymore. There was only one person like Ichichi Hoshika who was so awkward in speaking.
"You! Shouldn't you say something to persuade me?" When saying this, Yasaka Haruha obviously looked a little lacking in confidence, and seemed to feel a little ashamed of herself.
"No... didn't you say it yourself? You said you absolutely! Absolutely! Absolutely won't come! Since you are so absolute, why should I waste my breath on you..." Nakamura Mine gave his explanation very objectively. Listening to advice has always been one of his good qualities. Of course, one of his shortcomings is that he only listens to advice when he wants to.
"But you should at least say something, right? Men who give up without doing anything are the most useless!" Yasaka Haruha seemed to have finally found the truth, and suddenly spoke with much more confidence.
"Hey, hey, aren't you being unreasonable?" Nakamura Mine was speechless. This girl clearly said that she would never agree to come to the show, but now she stopped him and asked him to persuade her, and then said that she would not use it. What kind of logic is this?
"Then...you are coming..."
"impossible!"
Seeing that the other party was determined not to give up unless he said something, Nakamura Mine had no choice but to invite him again weakly, but he was rejected as soon as he opened his mouth.
Chapter 138: About to Leave
"You..." The veins on Nakamura Mine's forehead couldn't stop throbbing. Did this guy in front of him say so much just to reject him again in the end?
(Are you crazy?!)
Out of politeness and consideration for the fact that the other person was a girl, Nakamura Mine did not curse at her, but his lifeless eyes should have been able to reflect his unhappy mood at the moment.
Nakamura Mine suddenly asked the system for a small superpower that could allow others to eat instant noodles without the seasoning packet and have them get all over their faces.
Seeing Nakamura Mine looking frustrated, Yasaka Haruha showed an expression as if she was finally relieved.
"I have no interest in your pretentious singing. Only the idle guy Utabuki would agree to you. I'm very busy!" Yasaka Haruha's smug look made Nakamura Mine very unhappy, but seeing that the guy was so happy, he was too lazy to disturb him. He turned around and left, and no longer cared about the other party's obstruction, and fled the scene at the speed of a 50-meter run.
"What? What an impolite guy..." Yasaka Haruha stomped the ground innocently twice and said unhappily. When she was alone, she looked back at the "live house" where she had not performed many times. Her eyes slowly fell and she could no longer hide the disappointment in her eyes. After a long time, she whispered, "I did nothing wrong..." and then walked in the direction where Hoshikuma Utabuki had left.
What no one noticed was that Yamada Ryo, wearing a baseball cap and lowering his head to cover nearly half of his face, walked out of the "live house" at a leisurely pace.
"..."
"What a nosy fellow..."
The next day, evening.
"Okay, let's go!" Nakamura Mine threw away the broom in his hand with great momentum, but after being glared at by Ijichi Hoshika, he straightened it up obediently.
"Feng is very motivated today." Ijichi Hongxia looked at Nakamura Feng in surprise. Normally, Nakamura Feng would not be in such high spirits as he is now.
"Did something good happen?" Kita Ikuyo expressed her guess.
"Well, because today may be my last performance here." Nakamura Mine's indifferent words made everyone present stunned for a moment, and then the first person to break the silence was unexpectedly Yamada Ryo.
"Are you leaving?"
"Well, after all, there is a time limit for running away from home. I have to go back at least before they call the police." Nakamura Mine gave his own explanation.
"No...Normally, we should have called the police within 20 days..." Ijichi Hongxia finally spoke out the complaints in her heart. To be honest, she had been holding it in for a long time.
"Well, they are the type with big hearts, right?"
"That's too much, anyway..."
"Alright, alright, let's not worry about that for now, let's just say goodbye to me. Everyone should cheer up for this last performance! Oh~!" Nakamura Mine raised his fist to boost morale, and Ijichi Kouka and Kita Ikuyo looked at each other and raised their arms in cooperation, but from their expressions it could be seen that they didn't seem to have fully digested the news that Nakamura Mine was about to leave, and the expressions on their faces were more or less reluctant.
"You're not coming back?" After being silent for a long time, Yamada Ryo spoke again expressionlessly, but his words made the atmosphere on the scene become much more awkward.
"Of course I will come back." Putting down his raised fist, Nakamura Mine's expression became much more serious. He looked at Yamada Ryo, trying to read something from her expression, but unfortunately this was not an easy thing to do.
"When?"
"It won't take long." As he said this, Nakamura Mine put the keyboard bag on his shoulder and walked towards the door.
"What's the exact time?" Yamada Ryo asked persistently. This behavior made her feel that she had only known him for less than a month. In the past, she probably wouldn't care whether he left or stayed, came back or not. But when Nakamura Mine said he was leaving, she could clearly feel her reluctance. Was it because he was one of the few people she could talk to? Was it because he recognized her unique music? Or was it because he was more nosy than Nijiya?
Nakamura Mine looked back at the three girls who were still standing there, and finally set his sights on Yamada Ryo.
"Then do you want to look for it? I'm Shimokitazawa. I've tried very hard to find you before. How about it's your turn this time?" After saying that, Nakamura Mine said no more. He left Fanxing with the keyboard on his back. It seemed that Nakamura Mine's words did not respond to Yamada Ryo's question at all, but only he knew that when he and Goto Ichiri came to Shimokitazawa, he was the first to find him by Yamada Ryo.
"So, what exactly do you want to talk to me about..." Yamada Ryo murmured in a voice that only he could hear, then he carried his bass on his back with an unhappy look on his face and walked towards the gate.
"Senior Ijichi, I always have a feeling that we have become supporting roles. Is it an illusion?" Kita Ikuyo asked her question to Ijichi Nichina beside her.
"Well, I feel the same way, but don't worry about it. Okay, let's go over there and help me move the drum set."
"Ok."
When we arrived at the venue where they usually perform, there were already a few familiar faces scattered around. These were the people who had listened to their music in recent days and deliberately passed by at this time.
After preparing for a while, around eight o'clock, Nakamura Mine saw Hoshiguma Utabuki, who had come as scheduled, among the gathered people, as well as the one hiding behind a big tree in the distance who was suspected to be, well... there was more than 90% chance that the guy who was hiding his head and showing his tail was Yasaka Haruha, who had repeatedly emphasized that she would not come.
(Really... I told you that a store manager would be enough for this kind of role...)
Although he was secretly complaining about this, Nakamura Mine couldn't hide the smile on his face.
"Liang, look..."
"I know."
Nakamura Mine wanted to remind Yamada Ryo about the existence of Kuma Utabuki and Yasaka Haruha, but was unexpectedly interrupted by Yamada Ryo.
"You knew?" Nakamura Mine's tone was a little strange. He didn't remember telling anyone about inviting those two people. Even if he saw Hoshiguma, Utabuki and Yamada Ryo in the crowd, shouldn't he have some doubts?
"Well, let's get started."
Chapter 139: Velonica
Without any further explanation, Yamada Ryo began to pluck the strings first. Seeing this, Nakamura Mine and Ijichi Nijika looked at each other and immediately found the right time to join in.
[My whole body is covered with setbacks, I ride the waves in the tide, pretending to be happy and singing]
Kita Ikuyo's singing voice also came out at the right time. This was the song she had previously completed with Yamada Ryo.
The song is titled "Velonica".
[If you run harder and listen carefully, you can quietly ride on the wind even if you are reckless]
[One game glanced at the road that was coming, the abundance was an apology, surrounded by enemies, and then participated in a game]
After glancing at Yamada Ryo who was playing the piano with his head down, and then looking at Hoshiguma Utabuki in the crowd and someone who looked like Yasaka Haruha in the distance, Nakamura Mine's hands moved at nearly double the speed in a trance.
Improvisation.
If all goes well, this will probably be his last performance in this simulation, so...
"It's okay to let me be a little willful." Amid the sound waves, Nakamura Mine's words did not penetrate anyone's ears, but the unprecedentedly rich sound effects produced by the keyboard overwhelmed everyone present like a wave.
The first ones to feel the change were naturally the other three people on the stage. They all glanced in the direction of Nakamura Mine in astonishment. They had never heard Nakamura Mine play like this before. Originally, in the absence of a guitarist, the keyboardist Nakamura Mine had taken on the responsibility of the main melody, and now he had added a lot of sound effects. It can be said that the hand speed displayed by Nakamura Mine now is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary keyboard players.
(This guy...)
Looking at the smiling and carefree Nakamura Mine, Yamada Ryo's mood unconsciously became much better. She glanced at Hoshiguma Utabuki who had her head half lowered and Yasaka Haruha behind the tree, and her hands unconsciously moved faster.
(It’s ridiculous, but that’s how music should be.)
(Hey, hey, no way, even Ryo is coming?) Ijichi Kouka was speechless to find that after Nakamura Mine, even Yamada Ryo had started to perform on the spot. Although she felt helpless, she quickly made a decision.
Join if you can't.
[Stop at the edge of the city on that endless journey]
This was the first time that Kita Ikuyo experienced such a thing, and she couldn't help but feel shaken, but she had to force herself not to be affected by the three guys behind her and to keep her singing steady. Fortunately, although Nakamura Mine made some noise, he unexpectedly did not destroy the main melody. People who know the subject might be able to tell at once that this was an impromptu performance, but most of the audience just thought that Nakamura Mine's sudden outburst was very intimidating, and some people even clapped their hands unconsciously.
[The surprise of the first-magnitude star in the night sky in four seasons tells me to keep searching for the real us]
【Traveling anywhere is the beginning of life】
……
At the end of the song, Nakamura Mine felt extremely refreshed. Although the street performances during this period indeed made him no longer afraid of playing in front of people, it was the first time for him to play so freely. However, what he was greeted with was a punch from the three girls around him. Although each punch was lighter than the last, it was still a bit embarrassing to do it in front of people.
"Nakamura-kun, I think this kind of thing needs to be announced in advance." Kita Ikuyo said with a sense of relief.
"That's what I mean, what if we mess up?" Ijichi Hongxia also gave timely criticism.
"Well, the result is quite interesting." Yamada Ryo seemed to be unconcerned about it.
"Wait, Ryo, if you also find it interesting, then why did you follow suit and punch me!?" Nakamura Mine looked at Yamada Ryo in disbelief.
"......" Yamada Ryo was silent for a moment before expressing his thoughts:
"It's a waste if you don't fight."
"6." Nakamura Mine gave Yamada Ryo a thumbs up with a forced smile.
Yamada Ryo showed a smug expression when he heard that. Seeing her expression, Nakamura Mine wanted to return the punch, but seeing so many people looking at them and laughing, he felt embarrassed to really do it.
Then they played several more songs, all of which were some of Yamada Ryo's favorite music. It can be said that they were all unpopular music that suited her personality, but for Nakamura Mine, these were all very much to his liking. However, Ijichi Kouka seemed to prefer some classic Japanese rock.
Kita Ikuyo is at the forefront of fashion, and it seems that she keeps an eye on hot topics so that she can join in on the conversation among friends at any time. Nakamura Mine can only admire her attitude of being serious about being present.
There is also Goto Ichiri. When Nakamura Mine once asked her what type of songs she liked, she replied that as long as the songs were not filled with excessive youthful elements, it would be fine. However, this has already excluded most pop songs, right?
