One hundred ways to resist the Bandoli women

However, Shiina Riki was not forgiving with his words.

"Where's the time?"

"The piece isn't difficult, so I'd like to schedule it for this weekend."

"That's so abrupt. What if I refuse?"

"Then I can only look for other candidates."

Shengren also explained frankly.

"So Taki can you help me with this?"

"Well, if you're really bothered and it's just one song, it's fine..."

Shiina Riki's tone softened slightly.

"Great."

The heavy stone in his heart finally fell to the ground, and Shengren breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you, Taki. I owe you a favor..."

"Do not."

Shiina Riki shook his head slightly.

"You don't have to owe me this favor. Just..."

Although he said it himself, Shiina Riki suddenly seemed to be stuck and stopped talking.

"Just what?"

"...No, it's nothing."

As long as we can get the lights back and start a band again?

Shengren completed the sentence for her in his mind.

If you're going to ask me for this favor, there's no need to use this favor—

Shengren thought so in his heart.

He looked at Nagasaki Suyo who was playing with her fingers... or more accurately, thinking about something, and then looked at Shiina Tachibana who had his head lowered.

If Nagasaki Motoyo wasn't here, he could have talked more with Shiina Riki.

Well, let's find another opportunity next time.

"Taki, I'll send you the drum sheet first. I'll let you know once the live time is confirmed."

(King Crimson!)

Seeing the packed Circle and RiNG, Shengren couldn't help but feel ashamed.

I only have an appointment until Friday, which is RiNG tomorrow night.

Speed is of the essence in war, which is in line with his value of winning over others.

Katsuto told several people he had contacted about what he was going to do tomorrow, and as expected, he was put under pressure by Shiina Riki.

Go practice some more.

Thinking of this, Shengren decided to go to the sky villa after dinner.

at this time.

Here the world

Our heartbeats are in rhythm

A new song will be born

Here the world

The future is so bright...

"Eh?"

Hearing a familiar song, Shengren looked up and saw that the song was being played in a store not far away.

And on the screen, some unknown idol group was flashing.

He wrote this song.

After writing it, Shengren sold the song to an unknown agency and never cared about it again.

What a coincidence.

However, so much time has passed, and this song doesn’t even have a proper MV.

After taking a look at the faces of the two members of the idol group Sumimi, Shengren walked over without interest.

Already said.

Shengren has no feelings towards idols...

He doesn't like the profession of idol.

"Alchemical Principles of Type-Moon World"

And boss py, this is the real boss ()

Chapter 51: When the Interweaving

As we all know, school ends earlier on Friday than on the previous four days.

So, there is quite a bit of free time.

After school, Katsutomo returned to the sky villa, took out a guitar suitable for today's performance from the "Ushiromiya Treasure", took some accessories that might be useful, and went to RiNG.

By the way, this guitar was named "The Doe on Mount Cerynea" by Shengren.

As the organizer of this makeshift band, it was natural for Shengren to be the first to arrive.

After everyone arrived and reported their names, they naturally went on stage to rehearse in advance.

"Drummer, OK."

"Keyboard, OK."

"Beth, OK."

"Rhythm guitar..."

"Hi!"

It seems that Nakano Azusa is somewhat nervous.

When he and Shengren looked at each other, Shengren gave him a reassuring smile.

She plucked the strings gently...

"The main voice..."

"Wait a moment."

Just as Shinji Rinrinko was about to continue, Katsuto interrupted her.

"Nakano-san, your guitar is one and a half eighths of a tone higher."

"Eh?"

Shiina Tachibana was stunned.

One eighth of a semitone... Is this something that the human ear can hear?

...is it absolute pitch?

If Shiina Riki had shown surprise on the spot, it would not have been Katsuto who responded to her.

It was Azusa Nakano.

—Nothing surprising, his eldest sister also has perfect pitch.

Children, Lao Wei also did it ()

"It won't affect your performance that much, but if you still have time, use the tuner to adjust it. I brought it with me."

"Hi……"

"Oh, it's my turn next, right?"

At this moment, Shengren realized it belatedly and slapped his head.

I glanced at the unused DJ equipment in the back.

"Excuse me, Ms. Rinrinko, please continue..."

(King Crimson!)

After finishing the rehearsal, the five people came to the lounge.

Azusa Nakano sat on the sofa and tuned the instrument with the tuner that Katsuto brought.

Hachiman Kailing leaned against the wall and closed her eyes to rest.

"Hey!"

Shiina Riki held it in for a long time, but finally couldn't help it.

She questioned Shengren uncontrollably.

"How did you get to know her?"

Of course, I am talking about Hachiman Kailing who is standing next to me.

Obviously, she was very surprised that her friend appeared here.

Moreover, I even got to play with this acquaintance.

Of course, Katsuto has not forgotten that Hachiman Kailin and Shiina Riki knew each other.

"She's a mercenary, and so am I. We're in the same circle, so shouldn't it be natural for us to get to know each other?"

Katsuto's eyes swept over Shiina Tatsuki and Hachiman Kailing who was standing beside him without saying anything.

"Cherish it, this may be your only chance to act together."

I don't know whether this sentence was directed to Shiina Riki or Yawata Kailing.

After a brief conversation with Nakano Azusa, Katsuto walked towards the masked support keyboard player, Maria.

She was seen huddled in a corner, silently showing off the donuts that Shengren had bought in advance.

“Is this a good way to eat donuts?”

Shengren picked up the iced Americano on the counter and took a sip.

"?"

The other person looked up at him.

It took a lot of effort for Katsuto to stop himself from laughing out loud at the awkward mask.

"If you're working in a profession where you can't even show your face, then you have to control your weight, right? Is it really okay to wear a piece of tape when the sugar and oil mixture is so strong?"

"…I'll do some aerobics to burn it off when I get back."

As she spoke, she ate two more donuts.

(Professional) Life is precious

(Weight) Love is more valuable

If it's for (donut) freedom

Both can be thrown ()

"..."

Katsuto was silent for a moment.

Fine, whatever she wants.

but.
