"So this is it......

Looking at the sign underneath that said "Star", the memories of the dead suddenly began to attack me, I was here eight or nine years ago, and I remember that it seemed to be an arcade hall at that time?

"Has Kawakami-san ever been here?"

Idichi, who was going down the stairs with a "bang", turned around and asked me curiously.

"Hmm...... Eight or nine years ago, it had nothing to do with music or anything."

I pointed to Goto-san, who was standing on the side of the stairs hesitating, and motioned to Ichichi to pull a hand, is this kid's social fear so serious? I didn't even dare to enter the door......

Thanks to the efforts of Ijichi, Goto-san struggled at the door for a few minutes, and finally entered the door with half a push.

"I'm finally back."

It was a girl with short ear-length blue hair and bangs covering her right eye. Her gaze swept over the ordinary me and fixed firmly on Goto-san.

"Cool ~~~~~~"

Idichi rushed over and grabbed her left arm:

"This is Ryo Yamada, and he is also the bassist of our band~"

"Hello."

The girl named Ryo Yamada greeted expressionlessly, her eyes still staring at Goto-san.

"Ryo's expression rarely changes, and if someone says she's a weirdo, she'll be very happy~"

"I won't be happy."

As she said this, Miss Yamada squinted her cheeks and blushed slightly.

I'm sure it's the type I can't handle.

I sighed and said the names of myself and Goto-san. The blue-haired girl nodded lightly to indicate that she knew, and turned her head to Yi Dizhi to remind:

"There's still some time, let's go to the studio and practice. Besides, you ran out without permission, and the store manager is already angry."

"Really, you have to say it sooner - stupid stupid stupid...... Idiot—"

"Poor with a small vocabulary."

I was relieved to see the girls frolicking among themselves, at least not in any weird band. It's more like a club than a band. Looking at Goto-san's spring-like appearance, she should be very satisfied with such a band, right?

Glancing at my phone, the time came to 18:35, and if I didn't go back, I wouldn't have time to cook.

"Goto-san, it's half past six, do you want to go back after a while or come with me?"

"Ah...... Is it already so late?"

I guess it was the same as me when I thought of the painful drive, and my originally excited face instantly darkened.

"Well, let's go back first."

"Are you going to leave so soon, Xiao Yili?"

"Hmm...... My home is far away from Shimokitazawa, and my parents will be worried if I don't go back."

"That's right...... Then when will Xiao Yili be free after that?"

"Saturday ......"

"Uh-huh! Let's just say that~"

After making the appointment to meet at [Star] on Saturday, we didn't stay in Shimokitazawa and took the subway home. Even after a while, Goto-san, who was sitting next to me, was still giggling from time to time. Occasionally, she can hear words like "friend" and "band" in her self-talk.

"Goto-san, I'm very happy today."

"Ahh......h

Goto-san was taken aback by my sudden words, and the fingers of his two hands interlaced restlessly, and he tried to open his mouth several times and then blocked the words in his throat.

"Actually, Goto-san, don't be so nervous, you can try to use me as a talking guitar, maybe it will be much better?"

I thought about the books I had read about communication barriers before, and many people imagined that some of the people they were afraid of were things they liked, which worked wonders for people with unusually rich imaginations. So I said to Goto-san half-jokingly.

"Think of Kawakami-kun as a guitar?"

She was really thinking about the feasibility of this, staring at the guitar bag she was holding, her blue eyes flashing with "I already understand everything".

Hey, hey! Are you really a manga girl who came out of some part called xx?! It's so natural, and one day someone cheats me out, and I will help others count the money, right?

"Hmm! It's a lot better! Guitar-kun!"

「…… Actually, how about you name my guitar Kawakami?"

Goto-san was quick to accept the fact that I was a guitar, and I suggested it so in order not to come up with some strange titles.

"Kawakami Guitar-kun? It always feels like an antique......

Ignoring the broken thoughts of the pink hair, it turns out that Goto-san also has the soul of complaining? Oh, people who like to talk to themselves are like that, and so am I—that's fine.

"Speaking of which, why did Goto-san go to school in Xiuhua, obviously we have a high school near there, right?"

"Ah...... Actually, because I didn't find a friend in the six years of elementary school and junior high school, I played a heavy metal rock song that I liked very much during the lunch break in order to find friends with the same interests in junior high school...... Later, when I knew that I had done something stupid, I wanted to escape to school in a place that no one knew about, and when I saw that the high school far away from home was only Xiuhua, who could be admitted."

It seems that he has completely regarded me as a talking guitar, and he doesn't stutter at all when he talks to me...... However, Goto's experience made me feel like I had found the same kind of people, and everyone came here alone for six years, so why do I want to cry so much?

"Yoshiyoshi Kawakami...... Jun, where was you before you moved here?"

The girl stiffly reversed her pronunciation, maybe in her mind, the guitar was already a communicative object, and she could even ask questions.

"Tokyo...... To be honest, I'm still very confused, obviously a month ago I was playing games and scratching discs at home in Tokyo, and the next day my parents were lost, and they threw me a sum of money and left me alone, leaving me to go to my uncle's house to support myself......

The most infuriating point is why they were reluctant to tell them to move to Shimokitazawa 10,000 years ago, why did they suddenly change their mind and let me move out of Tokyo after a few months, and I don't know when they signed Xiuhua's admission certificate on my behalf and let me go there to study......

Maybe I'm really angry, and I can't even tell my uncle what I want to say to Goto-san, who I've only known for less than two days.

"I'm sorry for reminding you of these ......."

Looking at the pink-haired girl who lowered her head and didn't dare to look directly at herself, the little unhappiness caused by her off-line parents dissipated in an instant, and I responded easily:

"Now I have to thank them, if I hadn't moved here, I wouldn't have been able to meet Goto-san, and then I wouldn't be friends with Goto-san, would I?"

"Ten—it's an honor!"

Goto-san always says something that catches people off guard......
