「…… Yuzuo, it's already one o'clock in the afternoon?"

"Huh? Is it already so late?"

Seeing my uncle push the door in, I took off my headphones and staggered up from the small space, my eyes trying to focus on the computer screen, and finally saw a confused 1:21 p.m. in the afternoon.

"Got it...... I'm going to cook right away."

"Why don't you take a break? I see you came back last night and rushed straight into your room, and you probably haven't been out of the house, have you?"

"Well, Miss Hiroi's new song has too much personality, and forcibly adding the sound of the keyboard to it doesn't have that psychedelic flavor."

I scratched my slightly greasy hair and sighed:

"Now that I've decided to join the SICK HACK, I'm thinking about making this a nomination...... I didn't expect Miss Hiroi to really give me a problem, and it deserves to be a band with 500 people on each tour."

"Didn't you want to be in a band before? I remember you said that many bands have invited you, didn't you turn them down?"

"Bastard...... Who do you think I'm doing this for...... It's not that you're spending money like water, and if we don't look for a job, we'll both starve to death sooner or later."

"I'm sorry, I'll be working later, well, I guess......

"Crawl, don't disturb my work."

After giving my uncle the middle finger and kicking him out of the room, I slumped in my chair and pinched my aching brow.

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

I suddenly remembered that Goto-san, who had an appointment with Ijichi today, went down to Kitazawa to make an appointment.

Let's send a line to ask her......

I made up my mind to pay attention, and pulled my few contact columns to the bottom to find the line account of Goto-san, who I added last night. Is it really necessary to do this, even add a z at the beginning of the name, I'm really afraid that others will contact her.

forcibly broke up the idea of "maybe Goto-san doesn't know and can add notes", and I casually sent her a message:

[Is everything going well?] Don't push yourself. 】

Seeing that there was no reply to me for a long time, I had to continue to devote myself to work.

[My level is still not good enough, and I was pointed out by everyone today...... As a mango box. 】

It took two or three hours for Goto's text message to arrive...... What does it mean to be a mango box, and has there been a new stalk on the Internet recently?

"Isn't it good? It shouldn't be."

I turned off the compositing software with some confusion, opened the little blue bird and flipped through the video of the guitar hero. After listening carefully a few times, I still can't find anything too wrong. Could it be that Ijichi and Miss Yamada are the kind of hidden masters who are not well known?

[Goto-san has tried guitar solo in front of them? ] 】

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

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

[Hmm...... There is always a break-in period when a band joins new members. Because the band is very cooperative, some newcomers have a good foundation, but due to the lack of experience in playing with others, it is very likely that there will be a good chance that I will play well when I am alone, but when I enter the band, it will look very messy.

This is normal. This is the run-in period I mentioned earlier. If you don't understand what I said above, you can simply understand it: pay attention to the rhythm of the drummer, the drummer is equivalent to the general conductor of the whole band, and you have to judge whether your rhythm is keeping up according to the rhythm of the drummer...... That's about it. 】

I threw my own understanding to Goto-san, and if the people on the other side couldn't figure out what I meant, they would have to figure it out on their own.

Glancing at the "read" symbol beneath the long string of words, I shrugged my shoulders, briefly cleaned up the room covered in wires, and went downstairs to buy ingredients for dinner. Since I ordered a takeout three hours ago, I am not hungry at all, so I may buy some snacks to replenish the refrigerator when I go to the supermarket.

[Thank you, Kawakami-kun! I already know what the problem is! 】

Although it looks a little silly, it's still a normal child's IQ after all.

[It's good to be able to 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 Bond (End) Band.] 】

So cold pun......

I shuddered, it didn't look like the weather was getting completely hot......

【…… Once you've decided that you want to join the band, you have to stick with it. 】

[I'll do my best!] 】

Very nice and very energetic.

Witnessing the establishment of a new band, the mood was inexplicably happy, and even the fatigue of the liver all night was gone.

"Let's have hamburger tonight—"

"What?! Do you eat hamburger meat at night?"

My uncle's ears were always very bright at this time, and he immediately paused the game in the room and rushed out excitedly.

"I'm in a good mood today, so I'm allowed to eat it again this week!"

The uncle, who had been tortured by the nutrition package for a long time, shouted "yes" and was about to hug him.

"Stop, first I'm not the same, then I'm not the same, and finally I'm not the same. Put away your filthy ways, or the hamburger will be gone!"

「…… Did any of the girls at school say you're straight?"

The uncle, who stopped moving, puffed out his cheeks and pretended to be angry.

"Big brother, no matter how straight I am, I can't go straight to you, no matter how much you look like a beautiful girl, aren't you also a man? If I tolerate you rubbing on me......

I'm afraid I'm going to bend......

Of course, this sentence must not be spoken.

"Cut...... How do you know...... Forget it, it's better to know than not to know."

"Huh? What do you say?"

Looking at my uncle who was quietly talking to himself, I always felt that he had something to hide from me.

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

"Don't, don't push me, you just ate takeout, right? Why are you hungry so soon?!"

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

"Okay, I'll go now, what's wrong with you today, it always feels weird......

Touch!

Pushed out of the door in a daze, I was about to say that I hadn't changed my shoes yet, but I almost hit my nose by the door.

This......?

It is said that it is difficult to guess a woman's mind, why is it so difficult for me to guess Goto's mind, but it is so difficult to guess my uncle's mind?

"It's weird......

I walked alone on the street in slippers, and my back was indescribably lonely.

I'm going to wash an extra pair of slippers again......
