But on the road ahead, there will always be all kinds of people who disturb his progress and cause his life to change drastically.

His eccentric cousin Ryo Yamada, the gentle beauty Ichichi Nijika from the same school, the socially anxious Goto Ichiri, and the unreliable junior Kita Ikuyo, all pull him out of his ordinary life and into the excitement of rock and roll again.

"Rin-chan, accept reality."

"Ito-san, please help me."

"Senior, don't be tempted by me, I will snatch you away from me."

Volume One

Chapter 1: Guitarist to the rescue

Tokyo, Starry Night Hall.

The business hours have not yet arrived as the sign at the door is hung, but the interior has already become lively. The black-haired lady hiding behind the equipment begins to debug the equipment, and the stage is shining with colorful colors. The yellow-haired manager behind the counter is apparently taking care of the cleanliness of the counter, but his eyes can't help looking at the table in the corner of the exhibition hall.

“What is the meaning of life?”

"Like a fish swimming in the sea, searching for a way home with no end in sight?"

"Or are you wandering aimlessly like a traveler in the desert?"

"Ijichi-san, searching for the meaning of life is why I'm here. This flower is for you."

Ito Rin took out a rose made of white paper from his pocket with ease and stuffed it into the hands of Ichichi Kouka, who was wearing a couple outfit (school uniform) with him, and smiled perfectly.

"Thank you, Ito-san, but when you give flowers, aren't red roses usually the best?" The girl took the paper flowers and said with a smile.

"White roses are more suitable for Ijichi-san."

The flower language of white roses is pure and respectful love, but obviously, Ito Rin did not have such intention towards Ijichi, a classmate he was not very familiar with. He simply folded a flower out of boredom in the last class, and it would always be a pity if he didn't give it away.

In this dimly lit exhibition hall, the aggressive yellow-haired store manager picked up a broom from behind the counter, ready to drive away the boy who dared to tease her sister in front of her.

"Boy, this is not the place for you to talk about love!"

"Sis, calm down. Ito-san is the new guitarist that Ryo found."

The furious older sister manager was stopped and was not very accepting of this explanation. Ito Rin also found a seat and sat down, and greeted Yamada Ryo who was walking over slowly.

"Good evening, weirdo."

"Why can't I be happy when you call me like that?" Listlessly, Yamada Ryo put down his bass, and slumped his upper body on the table, motionless.

"This shows that you have matured, Yamada-san. I am so relieved."

Ito Rin pretended to be mature, touching her blue hair with great satisfaction, and the expression on her face looked just like an old father.

Hongxia, who had explained the situation to her elder sister, sat back with them. She was used to Liang's lifeless appearance and was not surprised.

"Ito-san, are you interested in joining our band too?"

"Not interested in."

"Great, our band is currently in need of... eh?"

Hongxia was halfway through her speech when she suddenly realized that Ito Rin's meaning was completely opposite to what she thought, and a look of confusion appeared in her eyes.

If you are not interested, why come to STARRY at this time?

I heard that he doesn't have enough time to hang around.

"Save the scene." Yamada Ryo, who was pretending to be dead, raised a hand and said, "Let him take over tomorrow's performance. After the performance, Hongxia, you can find a guitarist."

Even the youthful Shimokitazawa High School uniform reveals a gloomy aura when worn by Yamada Ryo. The classic combination of pleated skirt and white cotton socks cannot hide her coldness.

What's more, this woman likes to cover one eye with her blue hair, which often makes people feel that her gaze is condescending and disdainful.

"Sheng Hui, five thousand yuan. May I ask if you would like to pay by bank transfer or in cash, Yamada? If possible, I would like to pay before the game." Ito Rin patted her head and said in the gentlest voice.

He likes this kind of financial sponsor the most.

This price suddenly woke up Yamada Ryo, and he glared at Ito Rin: "You are robbing!"

"Come on, the minimum hourly wage in Tokyo is already 1,000 yen. If the money I can make from playing in a band is less than working at a convenience store, I won't make music," Ito Rin said disdainfully.

You have to know that he, Ito Rin, after being reborn in an island country, needed to have talent in the system, a good family background and good looks, but in addition to good looks and talent, he didn't even have any of the necessary plug-ins for a time traveler, and even fell to the point of relying on part-time jobs to earn tuition.

If you don't raise your pursuit of money, do you still want to chase your dreams like this young lady?

He doesn't have a hospital waiting to be inherited. Damn it. I'm so jealous that I'm almost drooling.

But in Ito Rin's opinion, the new band joined by Miss Liang was just playing house. A band that couldn't even recruit enough people was actually able to perform on stage. This was definitely the result of the store manager's behind-the-scenes manipulation.

"Manager, what is the hourly wage for working here?"

"Five hundred yuan, no men." Xingge leaned on the counter with one hand and said unhappily.

"Gender discrimination is wrong." Ito Rin muttered, then looked at Yamada Ryo who had returned to normal, waiting for the young lady to pay.

Five thousand yuan is just a drop in the bucket for her.

Hong Xia, who put her hands on the table and looked like she was listening to a class, raised her hands and asked, "Ito, before that, do you want to show off your skills as well?"

Although there is not much time to practice the ensemble, the higher the guitarist's skills are, the better, and it would be even better if the level can be high enough to cover up the incoordination of the ensemble.

"Hey, that's no problem at all. Is there an unused guitar here? I don't have that thing." Ito Rin nodded in approval.

Just like when applying for a chef job, the other party will ask for a few dishes that meet the requirements. Of course, when he works as a guitarist, he must also meet the customers' requirements.

"Ok?"

A big question mark popped up in Hongxia’s mind: What does it mean if that thing is not there?

"He is a keyboard player. If he didn't have so much money, there would be no need for him to buy a guitar." Liang pinched his chin and pretended to be surprised.

Keyboard player...

Keyboard player!

This is totally irrelevant!

Hong Xia lay on the table in confusion. Although a rock band needs a keyboard player, this is not the focus now!

"I became a keyboard player because the band was short of a keyboard player. In fact, I know a little bit about all kinds of instruments."

In order to allay the patrons' suspicion, Ito Rin patted his chest and made a promise. After the black-haired older sister found a guitar in the preparation room, he thanked her and walked onto the stage.

The audience in the audience was sparsely populated. No matter how hard Ito Rin counted, she found that there were only four people, and two of them were still sitting in their seats.

"Hello everyone, this is the closing band, and next we're going to play "taste my skin."

Hongxia clapped in cooperation, and Ito Rin plucked the guitar strings in response.

Yamada Ryo looked up with interest, holding a drink in his hand, looking forward to this guy's next performance.

When the first music sounded, the lights in the performance hall went out instantly, and the store manager at the counter showed a malicious expression and turned on the stage lights above his head.

Ito Rin turned a blind eye and stared at the microphone. Her new fingers felt indescribable pain when they touched the guitar strings directly, but for this kind of song, a pick should not be used.

The cheerful and enthusiastic guitar music surrounded the exhibition hall. Xingge, who had originally intended to watch the fun, became puzzled. As the music progressed, this puzzlement turned into surprise.

It was clearly a one-man show, but it gave people the feeling of a band, and the rhythm and melody fit together perfectly...

Is this really something a high school student can achieve?

Hong Xia in the audience stared at him blankly. His handsome face took on an enchanting charm under the flickering lights. She understood why the other party said they were just playing house.

“Oh baby in my opinion love is life”

"How about it? My cousin's level is pretty good, right?" Yamada Ryo suddenly appeared beside her and poked her face.

Chapter 2: Monsters in Two Miles

“Cousin…?” Hongxia looked at Liang in surprise.

Ryo, who always has the worst grades, and Ito, who is at the top of the school, are actually relatives?

Then why is there such a big gap in scores?

"It feels like you're thinking about something rude, Hongxia."

Yamada Ryo took out a handkerchief and covered his eyes, making a crying expression.

"No way, you think too much!" Hong Xia raised her hands, looking very innocent.

She was already used to the bassist's theatrical talent, and would no longer lose her composure because of such a little trick.

"To taste my skin yeah!"

The lights on the stage went out and Xingge turned on the lights in the performance hall. Ito Rin glanced at the price tag on the guitar and gave up the idea of ​​showing off.

"How is it? Do you meet the requirements?" Ito Rin sat on the steps holding a guitar. The fingers that were responsible for playing the guitar had slight traces of wear and blood. This situation was difficult to avoid when calluses had not been formed.

"Ito-san, please wait a moment. I'm going to get something."

"Uh?"

After a while, Hongxia came trotting out from the backstage and handed him a Band-Aid.

Ito Rin was immediately filled with emotion.

What a good woman! She is so much better than that scumbag Yamada Ryo.

"Thank you, Ichichi-san."

"Why don't you thank me?" Liang asked suddenly.

"You... are so beautiful!" Just as Ito Rin was about to mock this troublesome cousin, she changed her words when she saw the portrait of Higuchi Ichiyo in her hand.

Ito Rin swore that it was not because of this little money, but that what he said was the truth. Even though Yamada Ryo was a little bit of a scumbag, had small breasts, a weird temper, and wasn't good at studying.

But her face is still pretty.

"Strange, you might as well call me a weirdo." Yamada Ryo took back the money naturally, with a puzzled expression.

I still feel uncomfortable when others praise me.

Angry, very angry.

Ito Rin clenched her fists. It seemed that making money was not easy. She had to endure it and wait until she handed over the money before making fun of her grades.

"Ito-san, our performance time is at 4pm, so we have to rush here after school."

Hong Xia reminded him softly after seeing that the wound on his hand had been bandaged.

"Don't worry, my credibility is guaranteed." Ito Rin said, patting his chest. On the other side, Liang, who had had enough fun, handed the money to him with a little heartache.

Alas, I have no money to buy musical instruments again this month.

After getting the money, Ito Rin, who wanted to say something arrogant, changed her words when she saw her dragging her arm with one hand.

"When you formed the band, you should have had a guitarist, right? Otherwise, the store manager would not have allowed you to perform on stage."

When he looked at the counter, the unhappy store manager waved his fist at him. The PA lady who was watching the show nearby smiled but said nothing. She still remembered that the guitarist had never performed a ensemble at all.

"Yeah, there was one, but she sent me a strange text message yesterday and then disappeared. Maybe she ran away because she was nervous about going on stage." Hong Xia poked her cheek subconsciously.

By the way, she sent a few more messages to Kita, but still didn't get a response. The other party's last message was still an apology.

"Maybe she has passed away. I have been praying for her for a long time in front of the Buddhist shrine at home." Yamada Ryo said seriously, clasping his hands together and closing his eyes to pray for the runaway guitarist.

"Shut up." "Liang, you better say something nice!"

Now that the money was in hand and the work that needed to be done was clear, Ito Rin planned to say goodbye and go home.
