Chapter 11 The Escaped Guitar

"Shimokitazawa... Is this the performance hall Goto-san is going to?"

[Kita☆chan]…Ahem, the girl named Kita Ikuyo was walking forward with her hands stretched out, and behind her, there was a pink thing.

“Yes…yes…”

"Pink thing," Goto Ichiri said in a trembling voice.

"So why are you behind me, Goto-kun?"

"Sorry... I'm still not familiar with this street. It's embarrassing to walk in front."

"I'm the one who's embarrassed now!"

Goto Ichiri grabbed Kita Ikuyo's clothes and said with his eyes narrowed like a vampire who was afraid of the light.

"There are many stars ahead... Hongxia and Liang should have arrived by now. By then... Puka!"

Goto Ichiri suddenly bumped into the lower back of Kita Ikuyo who suddenly stopped in front of him.

"?"

Goto Ichiri looked up in confusion, and then saw Kita Ikuyo's expression as if she was trembling.

"I, I, I'm not going!"

"Ugh?"

Snapped!

"Guga!"

Goto Ichiri's cheeks were suddenly covered, and Kita Ikuyo's eyes trembled.

"I can't tell you the reason right now! Anyway, I can't go! Absolutely not! If I go, I'll die! That's right! I'll die! Goto-kun doesn't want to be a murderer, right?"

"Why, why, why? It's so weird to be dying all the time!"

Goto Ichiri, who had no self-awareness, said this subconsciously, and then suddenly shrank back.

"I'm sorry I spoke so loudly again. A rubbish maggot like me can only..."

"Goto-san, wake up!!"

Kita Ikuyo patted Goto Ichiri's face again.

"Anyway! I'm running away! Let's talk about teaching me guitar tomorrow. I'm going to sue..."

"Pochi~"

Before Kita Ikuyo could finish her words, she was interrupted by a voice coming from the other side.

"I don't know what you want energy drinks for, but I bought a lot. Red Bull and Monster. I even called the kitten over to help... Wait! The guitar ran away!!"

Ijichi Hongka said while waving an energy drink with a smile, then froze when she noticed the red-haired girl next to Goto Ichiri.

"Ahhhhh..."

Kita Ikuyo made a sound that wanted to speak but couldn't, and looked behind her at Ijichi Nikka who was trembling constantly.

Snapped…

In the alley on the other side, Yamada Ryoya, who was holding an energy drink, looked over.

"Ok?"

She looked at Kita Ikuyo with a hint of surprise in her eyes.

Senior...

Kita Ikuyo fell into a daze.

Run...can't run away...

I…I…I…

boom!

Kita Ikuyo knelt on the ground and then slammed his head down.

Bang bang bang!

Continuous kowtow!!!

"I'm willing to do anything so please forgive me! Please let me become a mess!!!"

"Don't say something that could be easily misunderstood!"

Ijichi Hongxia looked at the passers-by around her and said in a broken voice.

Nekayashiki Haru pursed his lips and walked in front of Kita Ikuyo.

"Pochi, I don't know why your voice has changed, but please don't kneel down and kowtow in the street."

“…I…I’m here…Mr. Nekayashiki…I’m not the one who’s bowing this time…”

Goto Ichiri next to him said with a bitter expression.

"...So another kid who knows how to kowtow has appeared?"

Nekoyashiki Haru suddenly realized, and then was pulled back by Ijichi Nikka behind him.

"Alright alright kitty stop talking."

She covered her forehead as she looked at everything in front of her.

"Anyway, let's go back first..."

...

……

.........

"Huh? Kita-chan actually can't play the guitar?"

Ijichi Hongxia looked at Kita Ikuyo in surprise.

"Yes...I'm sorry..."

"No wonder he refused to participate in joint training..."

Yidizhi Hongxia suddenly realized.

puff.

The energy drink next to him was opened, and Nekayashiki Haru inserted a straw into his mouth, then drank while talking.

"So this new kid was originally a member of your band, but he ran away before the show because he couldn't play guitar."

"You always act like a child. We are obviously the same age."

Ijichi Nijina looked at Nekayashiki Haru speechlessly and said.

"How could that be? I'm already a member of society."

"Don't be so complacent, you dropout."

On the other side, Kita Ikuyo, who noticed Nekoyashiki Haru, raised her head and looked at the boy.

He has black hair, a slender figure, and nice facial features. Even with sunglasses on, you can still tell that he is a very handsome guy... So why is he wearing sunglasses?

"Well...um, who is this person?"

"Huh? Ah! I forgot to introduce myself."

Ijichi Nikka smiled and put a hand on Nekayashiki Haru's shoulder.

"This is my kitten!"

"Ugh!!!"

Kita Ikuyo opened her eyes wide.

"Cat demon!!!!"

“…How on earth did you come to understand it like that?”

Ijichi Hongxia sighed.

"No, her full name is Nekoyashiki Haru. She's my childhood sweetheart and she just came back recently. I'm just used to calling her 'kitten'."

"This...is like this..."

"Why do you still feel a little lost?"

Ijichi Hongxia asked with a frown.

"Because it's not a real cat demon."

"So why is it a cat demon..."

puff.

Nekoyashiki Haru quietly picked up the second can of energy drink, and Yamada Ryo next to him handed over his energy drink.

The two clinked their glasses quietly.

"But the sudden loss of contact makes me worried about you, Xiao Xiduo."

Ijichi Hongxia looked at Kita Ikuyo and said, Kita Ikuyo lowered her head.

"Yes...I'm so sorry..."

"Yeah, I'm worried about you too."

Yamada Ryo suddenly interrupted, and Kita Ikuyo immediately looked touched.

"I thought you were dead, so I set up a memorial tablet for you at home and worship you every day."

"No, no, don't kill anyone without permission, you guy."

Ichichi Hongxia next to him complained.

Kita Ikuyo looked at the two people joking, raised her head slightly and asked.

"Um, aren't the two seniors angry?"

"Hmm? Don't be angry. We both have problems that we haven't noticed."

Ijichi Hongxia said with a smile.

"And there will be no problem with the performance that day."

Goto Ichiri raised his head slightly.

Are we getting to my topic yet?

Snapped!

"Alas!"

The sudden sound of slamming the table scared Goto Ichiri, who had just raised his head, back down.

"But! But I feel so bad about this! Is there anything I can do to make amends?"

Kita Ikuyo said a little hurriedly.

With a chuckle, Nekayashiki Haru opened the sixth can of energy drink, and Yamada Ryo next to him showed a shocked expression and started clapping.

"Even if you say that, I don't know what to do right now."

Yidizhi Hongxia asked in difficulty.

"Then you can stay and work tonight, and the rest of you can come too."

Ichichi Hoshige suddenly said at the counter on the other side.

"Hmm, they're starting to arrest people now? And they're eavesdropping on the conversations of young girls. What a dank and cold store manager..."

Nekoyashiki Haru said with a frightened expression.

"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll tell you that you didn't finish your Hongxia cuisine at noon."
