In the music series, the male protagonist writes a self-help manual for the inner world

"Go play, I'll cut some watermelon for you later."

"Great." Goto Jiri said excitedly.

The decoration style of Goto Ichiri's room is extremely simple, with no other decorative items except some simple furniture.

....as long as we exclude the closet where Goto Ichiri is currently.

The decoration style of the closet covered with various photos of his childhood sweetheart cannot be said to be simple. It can only be said that once people see it, they will wonder whether the owner of the closet is a gravity woman.

"The psychological burden is increasing day by day. Actresses and all that, just go to hell." Goto Ichiri played an unusual guitar tune while humming a song full of negative energy.

(As expected of another me, even this improvisation has such a unique “Ichiri” feel to it.)

"Goto Ichiri" from another parallel time and space exclaimed in Goto Ichiri's heart.

(Songwriting is about writing songs that are full of genuine emotion. Finding a friend to fill the void is fine, so be it.)

Goto Ichiri can easily feel the resentment of his other self.

Didn’t you become a popular guitarist after becoming a popular guitarist?

You have to know that the reason why Ichiri Goto started learning guitar was that he wanted to become the most famous local celebrity by becoming a popular guitarist.

(Ah, this... Making friends is more important than drinking. Drinking can help you get over your worries. I haven't had a drink in a long time, Pochi-chan, buy me some wine.)

My future is getting sadder and sadder.

The tune played by Goto Ichiri became increasingly sad.

Why did my other self in a parallel universe become this bad woman who is addicted to alcohol and behaves arrogantly when she grew up?

Will I become a sad adult like her?

"My future is gone." Goto Ichiri's eyes were filled with tears.

There was a knock on the door from outside, followed by a voice that was particularly familiar to Goto Ichiri.

"Yili, I'm coming in."

After hearing this, Goto Ichiri's arm holding the guitar trembled so violently that she almost couldn't hold the guitar.

....Because if Chen Xinghua saw what was inside the closet, it would be the end of me.

Goto Ichiri already imagined that Chen Xinghua was stepping on his head, and pointed angrily at his closet which was covered with his photos.

The defendant is Ichiri Goto.

The crime was to cover the closet with photos of his childhood sweetheart.

The court immediately sentenced him to death.

"Oh oh oh." Goto Ichiri clenched the guitar in her hand. Her brain had never been working as fast as it was at this moment.

I thought of it!!!

"Xinghua, I'm changing clothes, don't come in."

"Oh, okay, I'll come in later." Chen Xinghua's words made Goto Ichiri feel relieved.

That’s great, I won’t be sentenced to death.

(What are you afraid of? Just push him against the wall and do it.)

"Goto Ichiri" watches the fun without thinking it's a big deal.

(If he dares to disobey, just forcefully kiss him, and make him never dare to say no again.)

(Then he ripped off his clothes, that's it...)

Your suggestion is as ridiculous as ever. Goto Ichiri felt a wave of sadness in his heart.

Will I become a useless adult like Goto Ichiri?

(I'm not a loser. I'm a "guitar hero" with ten Tokyo Dome fans online. I'm the most famous guitarist in Shimokitazawa and the dream guitarist for every band.)

Goto Ichiri ignored his other self's mumbling, tidied up the closet and his clothes, then crawled out of the closet holding his guitar.

"Xinghua, you can come in." Goto Ichiri shouted to the figure hiding behind the door.

Chen Xinghua opened the door and leaned in.

"Then I'm coming in."

He turned his head and looked around.

"Yili, have you finished your weekend homework?"

"Don't fail the exam and have to repeat the grade."

Goto Ichiri suddenly straightened up.

"Of course it was done to the last word."

Um, "Goto Ichiri", did you repeat a grade?

When faced with a critical problem, Goto Ichiri would ask his parallel self for the answer.

The issue of repeating a grade is absolutely crucial.

(I dropped out of school.)

After the band disbanded.

33. The band has only one lead singer from beginning to end

Goto Ichiri opened his mouth in surprise.

Myself in another parallel universe...actually dropped out of school?

Although she had originally thought about dropping out of school after becoming a rock star with her guitar, she still found it a little unacceptable when she heard that her other self had actually dropped out of school.

(Other people don’t understand me, but doesn’t Pochi-chan understand me either? Aren’t our academic performances equally bad?)

(I dropped out of school because I failed the exam and had to repeat a grade.)

(I didn’t expect to find a job with my degree anyway.)

She dropped out of school, likes to drink, and speaks like a female gangster.

Isn't this a useless adult?!

Goto Ichiri's body began to vibrate at a high frequency.

(Hey, hey, hey, I’m not a useless adult... Would a useless adult be as good at playing guitar as me?)

(I can play guitar with my teeth or my back.)

(Can other useless adults do this?)

"Goto Ichiri" is becoming more and more like the kind of useless and decadent adult who starts looking for excuses to refute others because someone hits his sore spot.

Chen Xinghua patted Goto Ichiri and brought her back from her delusion.

"Yili, you haven't started writing yet, have you?"

After all, Goto Ichiri's high-frequency vibrations look very much like an elementary school student who was playing games during the summer vacation, and when his parents asked him about the progress of his summer homework, he found out that he had not done any of his summer homework.

Goto Ichiri rolled and crawled up from the ground.

"I did complete my homework seriously."

She didn't want to become a useless and decadent adult like "Goto Ichiri" who drank and played pachinko all day long and stayed at home to rely on his parents.

(Don’t give me any preconceptions. I do like to drink, but I didn’t stay at home and rely on my parents. I moved out a long time ago.)

(And I don't drink all day...at least not before I play.)

Even the most basic rule of not drinking before performing is flaunted.

To what extent have I fallen in this parallel universe?

Goto Ichiri's body was shaking even more violently, causing the workbook in his hand to shake as well.

"I don't expect you to get into college, but at least don't repeat a grade." Chen Xinghua sighed and took the homework book that Goto Ichiri was holding solemnly with both hands.

He opened the workbook and found many mistakes after a few casual glances.

But...this is already pretty good for Goto Ichiri.

At least she filled in all the blanks, which proves that she is trying hard.

"Well done, Ichiri."

"If you keep working hard like this, you won't have to worry about failing the exam and having to repeat the grade."

Goto Ichiri held his forehead and laughed "hehe".

“I just did what a student should do.”

Although Goto Ichiri said this, it sounded like he was saying that what he did was not worth mentioning.

But it was obvious that Goto Ichiri's extremely happy look was saying to Chen Xinghua, "Praise me more, praise me more."

Looking at Goto Ichiri's cute appearance, Chen Xinghua also laughed.

Yili really has a childish temper.

"But Yili, you have to practice hard too. Recently, when you were practicing ensemble with everyone in the band."

Chen Xinghua poked Goto Ichiri's forehead.

"...you're not anywhere near as good as you were when the band first came on stage."

That performance was probably the biggest hit.

After the explosion, Yili returned to his original level...meaning he was unable to fully display his guitar skills in front of strangers.

"I'll try my best." Goto Ichiri hugged his knees with his hands and buried his head in them.

That performance was the result of a completely different self taking over... Can you explain that?

(Hahaha, Pochi-chan)

(A useless person like me is not like you, a socially anxious person who doesn't even dare to play in front of others.)

(Social phobia, social phobia.)

The only thing I don't like is being told that by you, you good-for-nothing, drunk, pachinko-playing, good-for-nothing, decadent sir. Goto Ichiri gritted his teeth.

As a socially anxious person, Goto Ichiri might shrink behind Chen Xinghua and remain motionless when socializing with strangers because of his socially anxious nature.

But in front of "Goto Ichiri", Goto Ichiri can completely expose his true nature.

Because no one would defend themselves.

"Yili, I don't mean to blame you." Chen Xinghua sat in front of Goto Ichiri, staring at Goto Ichiri's knees... because Goto Ichiri's face was buried between her knees.

"Haven't you and Hongxia and the others been coordinating better and better in recent ensembles?"

This may be because Goto Ichiri and Nijigasaki are becoming more and more familiar with each other.

In this way, Goto Ichiri's social phobia will not affect her performance.

"We still have a long, long time to practice." Chen Xinghua raised his hands to Goto Ichiri, "It's still a long, long time before the band's second performance."

"Don't forget, Yili, we haven't found a lead singer yet."

Speaking of the lead singer...Why did Kita leave and end the band at that time?

Is it because my guitar skills are too poor? Or is it because of some other reason?

“There’s no way you can play on stage without a lead singer.”

Goto Ichiri then breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that she still had a lot of time to avoid performing.

Because it is very difficult to find a qualified high school student as lead singer.

But she immediately became worried again, because a band that couldn't find a lead singer would become a band that no one paid attention to, and a band that no one paid attention to would definitely disband.

"I don't want the band to disband." Goto Ichiri pulled his head out from his knees.

After hearing Goto Ichiri's voice, Chen Xinghua straightened up and made a puzzled sound.

"Huh? Is the band finally disbanding? How come I didn't know that?"

Goto Ichiri waved his hands in panic and began to explain his concerns.
