"...Ikusaku, it's already one o'clock in the afternoon?"

"Ah? Is it already so late?"

When I saw my uncle push the door open and come in, I took off my headphones and stood up unsteadily from the small space. I tried hard to focus my eyes on the computer screen, and finally saw a blurry 1:21 pm on Sunday.

"I know... Let's go cook now."

"Why don't you take a rest first? I saw that you rushed straight to the room when you came back last night. You probably never went out, right?"

"Well, Ms. Hiroi's new song has such a distinct personality. Forcibly adding the sound of the keyboard will make it lose the psychedelic flavor."

I scratched my slightly greasy hair and sighed:

"Now that I've decided to join the SICK HACK band, I thought this would be my pledge... I didn't expect Hiroi-san to really pose a problem for me. It's worthy of being a band with a minimum guarantee of 500 people per tour."

"Didn't you not want to join the band before? I remember you said before that many bands had invited you, didn't you refuse them all?"

"Asshole... Who do you think I am doing this for... If you don't spend money like water, we will both starve to death sooner or later if we don't find a job."

"Sorry, I will go out to work later, um, probably..."

"Climb crawl, don't disturb my work."

After giving my uncle the middle finger and driving him out of the room, I slumped down on the chair and pinched my painful eyebrows.

Speaking of which... How is Goto-san doing today?

I suddenly remembered that Goto-san had an appointment with Ichichi today and ran down to Kitazawa to attend the appointment.

I'd better send a line and ask her...

I decided to pay attention, and scrolled down my few contacts to the bottom to find Goto-san's line account that I added last night. Is it really necessary to do this, even adding a z to the beginning of the name? Really?

She is so afraid of others contacting her.

I forcibly dismissed the idea that "Maybe Goto-kun doesn't know how to add notes", and I casually sent her a message:

【Is everything going well? Don't force yourself.】

Seeing that he didn’t reply to me for a long time, I had no choice but to continue to work.

[My level is still not good enough, and everyone pointed it out today...as a mango box.]

It took two or three hours before Goto-san’s text message was sent... What does it mean to be a mango box? Is it a new meme on the Internet recently?

"Is your level not good? It shouldn't be."

I turned off the synthesis software with some confusion, opened Little Bluebird and watched Guitar Hero cover videos. After listening carefully several times, I still couldn't find anything wrong with it. Could it be that Ichichi and Ms. Yamada are the kind of unknown people?

A hidden master?

[Have Goto-san ever tried playing guitar solo in front of them?]

This time, "read" was displayed almost instantly, and Goto-san's text message was sent quickly.

【No... Do you need to solo in front of them? 】

[Well... there is always a running-in period when new members are added to the band. Because the band's playing is very cooperative, some newcomers may have a good foundation, but lack the experience of playing with others, so it is likely to happen: When I am alone

He plays well, but once he joins the band to play, it becomes very messy.

This is a normal phenomenon. It is the running-in period I mentioned earlier. If you don’t understand what I said above, you can simply understand it as: pay attention to the rhythm of the drummer. The drummer is equivalent to the commander-in-chief of the entire band. You have to follow the drummer’s rhythm.

Use the rhythm to judge whether your own rhythm has kept up... That's probably it.】

I threw all my own understanding to Goto-san. If the people across from me couldn't understand what I meant, they would have to figure it out on their own.

Glancing at the "read" symbol under the long string of words, I shrugged, briefly tidied up the room filled with dense wires, and went straight downstairs to buy dinner ingredients. Since I ordered one three hours ago,

As a result of taking out food, I am not hungry at all. When I go to the supermarket, I might just buy some snacks to replenish the refrigerator.

【Thank you Kawakami-kun! I already know where the problem lies!】

Although he looks a little silly, he still has the IQ of a normal child.

[I hope I can help you. I’m looking forward to your band’s official performance. Have you decided on the name of the band? 】

【Well, it’s called the Tie(End) band.】

What a cold pun...

I shivered, it seems that the weather has not completely heated up yet...

【...Now that you have decided to join a band, you must stick to it.】

【I will work hard!】

Very good, very energetic.

Witnessing the establishment of a new band, I felt inexplicably happy, and even the exhaustion from the whole night was gone.

"Let's just eat hamburger tonight—"

"What?! Do you want to eat hamburger tonight?"

My uncle's ears are always particularly sharp at this time. He immediately paused the game in the room and rushed out excitedly.

"I'm in a good mood today, so I'll give you special permission to eat it again this week!"

My uncle, who had been tortured by the nutrition package for a long time, shouted "Okay" and tried to hug him.

"Stop it, first of all I'm not gay, secondly I'm not gay, and lastly I'm not gay either. Stop your dirty ways, or the hamburger meat will be gone!"

"...Is there any girl at school who says you are straight, Yusaku?"

The uncle who stopped moving puffed up his cheeks and said pretending to be angry.

"Brother, no matter how straight I am, I can't penetrate you. No matter how much you look like a beautiful girl, aren't you still a man? If I allow you to rub against me..."

I'm afraid I'll become crooked...

Of course, this sentence cannot be said.

"Tch...how do you know...forget it, it's better if you know that you don't know."

"Ah? What did you say?"

Looking at my uncle talking quietly to himself, I always feel that he is hiding something from me.

"It's okay... Go buy hamburger meat! I'm hungry!"

"No, don't push me. You just had takeout, right? Why are you hungry so quickly?!"

"Don't worry, just go and buy it!"

"Okay, I'll go right away. What's wrong with you today? You always feel weird..."

bump!

I was pushed out of the door in confusion. I was about to say that I hadn't even changed my shoes yet, but I almost hit my nose with the door.

this……?

It is said that it is difficult to guess a woman's thoughts. Why is it that it is so easy for me to guess Goto-san's thoughts, but it is so difficult to guess my uncle's thoughts?

"really weird……"

I was walking alone on the street in my slippers, and the silhouette behind me was indescribably lonely.
