I just want a single ending

Yao Lenai didn't say anything, but just played the piano by herself.

"Eh?"

It was just a prelude, but Nagasaki Suyo could tell that she was playing "Spring Shadow".

Seeing this scene, Chihaya Aine bit her lower lip and couldn't say anything.

When she heard them all say that Lenai was very good at playing guitar, she had actually prepared herself mentally.

She knew that there might be some gap in their guitar playing skills.

But I didn't expect the gap to be so big.

Lenai's performance far exceeded his expectations.

So much so that I can't find any excuse at all.

"sharp."

After she finished playing a piece, Kamikawa Supo applauded enthusiastically.

He was very sure that Yao Lenai had achieved this level just by taking a look at the music score.

It is no exaggeration to say that her talent is almost catching up with mine.

"Can we rehearse now?"

Shiina Riki looked at Chihaya Aine and Nagasaki Suyo and asked the question again.

"Before rehearsal, at least let me see the music."

Chihaya Aine was unable to refute and could only make the most basic demands.

Nagasaki Suyo just smiled awkwardly and said nothing more.

···

'Very bad.'

After listening to their first ensemble, Kamikawa Sumu silently gave his evaluation in his heart.

Even though he didn't know how to appreciate music, he could still feel the most obvious flaw.

The gap between the two guitarists is too big.

In other words, Chihaya Aine simply couldn't keep up with the pace.

"Again."

No need for any evaluation, Shiina Riki continued without hesitation.

"..."

The others did not object.

So, they played together again.

···

"satisfy."

After stopping the performance, Kaname showed a satisfied expression.

'The gap has widened.'

Kamikawa Su gave his evaluation again in his mind.

Shiina Riki looked at Chihaya Aine and was about to say something when she suddenly said:

"Sorry, I have something else to do later, so I'll leave first. I'm really sorry."

After saying this, Chihaya Aine put away her guitar and quickly left the practice room.

"this……?"

They were all stunned when they saw her leaving.

【Catch up】

Do nothing

"Sorry, I have something to do too. I'll leave first."

The moment he saw these two choices, Kamikawa Su made his choice and ran out after Chihaya Aine.

[Stamina plus ten]

"The band is over?"

Seeing the two people leaving one after another, Kaname Lenai put away his guitar and planned to leave as well.

"What happened to them?"

Shiina Riki didn't quite understand what was going on.

"do not know."

······

'How shameful.'

Chihaya Aine walked down the street dejectedly, her mind full of the ensemble that had just happened.

As the person involved, you can best understand the embarrassment.

I could clearly feel that I was dragging down the entire band.

"If you don't mind, could you let me take you home?"

At this moment, a familiar voice sounded in her ears.

I subconsciously looked back and met Kamikawa Su's eyes.

"Why are you here? Didn't I say I had something to do?"

Seeing that it was him, Chihaya Aine quickly looked away and continued to look forward with her head down.

"Because I have something to do too."

"..."

Chihaya Aine immediately realized that her excuse had been seen through.

She was about to say something when she heard Kamikawa Suku continue, "I'm sorry, I took the initiative to agree to Lenai's request to join the band and ignored your feelings."

After he agreed to let Lenna join the band and saw her reaction, he vaguely realized that Chihaya Aine didn't want her to join.

With the successive consent of Shiina Riki and Takamatsu Deng, Chihaya Aine's slight reaction made him more convinced of this fact.

At the same time, a new question arose in his mind.

That is, why doesn't Chihaya Aine want Kaname Rakuna to join the band?

However, this question was soon answered.

After listening to their duet, she recalled what she had asked when she learned that Le Nai wanted to join.

Kamikawa Su probably understood why she was so resistant.

"It's none of your business. Everyone agreed that Lenai-chan should join our band. You didn't act on your own initiative."

Regarding this matter, Chihaya Aine still knew right from wrong.

No one is wrong.

Kaname Rina just wants to join the band, but Kamikawa Suzu and Shiina Riki think her joining will be good for the band.

I don't know what Takamatsu Deng and Nagasaki Suyo were thinking, but their reasons were probably similar.

If I really have to say who is wrong, it can only be myself.

His guitar skills were so poor that he was completely beaten by Yao Lenai, and he was afraid that the other person would steal his thunder.

Even ran away.

Seeing her evasive look, Shangchuan Su said seriously: "Since this matter was caused by me, I will take responsibility."

"Responsible? What do you mean?"

Chihaya Aine didn't quite understand what he meant by this.

"That's what you were thinking about."

"How do you know what I'm thinking?"

Kamikawa Su replied as a matter of course: "Because I can read minds."

"Huh? Mind reading?"

Chihaya Aine's eyes widened.

"I'm just kidding, I just guessed it." Kamikawa Su explained with a smile.

"...Do you really know what I'm thinking?"

After a moment of silence, Chihaya Aine repeated her question.

"It's because of the guitar, right?" Kamikawa Suku didn't say it clearly.

"Is it obvious?"

Having said that, Chihaya Aine felt that there was no need for her to hide anything anymore.

"It's not obvious, I just noticed that your reaction was wrong." Shangchuan Su shook his head.

Chihaya Aine suddenly raised her head: "You noticed? When?"

"When I agreed to let her join the band."

"So my acting is so bad? I thought it was perfect."

"Actually, I can only tell that because I have the ability to read minds."

Ignoring his joking remarks, Chihaya Aine continued, "You just said you would take responsibility for this matter. How do you plan to take responsibility? Fire Lenna-chan?"

"The rest of the band agreed to let her join. Now they can't even fire her, right?"

"I know." Chihaya Aine was very curious about this. "Then how will you be responsible?"

Kamikawa Su expressed his thoughts: "I plan to help you improve your guitar skills."

"You want to teach me guitar? But, I remember you don't know how to play any instrument."

"So, I'll find someone else to teach you guitar," Shangchuan Su pleaded. "It'll just take some time for you to learn, is that okay?"

Chapter 31 Meeting with Goto Ichiri

"Is this the way you figured out how to take charge?"

Chihaya Aine neither agreed nor refused, but turned her head to look at him.

Honestly, this might be the best solution right now.

As long as your guitar skills improve, all problems will be solved.

"I'm sorry, but this is the only solution I can think of," Kamikawa admitted frankly. "Of course, if you think there's a better way to take responsibility, just tell me directly. As long as it's not too extreme, I'm open to that."

"What is the limit of being too much?" Chihaya Aine became interested.

“It depends on what your specific requirements are.”

Kamikawa Suku couldn't give a detailed boundary on such matters.

"Um……"

Chihaya Aine looked him up and down, but ultimately didn't make any requests.

"Forget it, let's just do as I told you. Help me find a guitar teacher."

"okay, I get it."

Kamikawa Suku breathed a sigh of relief.

When she looked at him just now, he felt inexplicably uneasy.

"By the way, who are you going to ask to teach me?" Chihaya Aine asked with concern, "I still have quite a bit of pocket money."
