"Alright, let's practice here today."

As the rousing drums slowly faded away, I pressed the keys and followed the drums to a steady end. Miss Hiroi dropped the bass and picked up the cheap sake on the table next to her, and shouted "It's so cool" as the alcohol ran down her stomach.

Originally, today was just the day to submit the assignment, but I was forcibly left behind by Miss Hiroi, who had already drunk too much, and was asked to practice together. Although I was shocked by my uncle's secret a few days ago, I still managed to finish my work and come to Shinjuku FOLT......

"Very good, Kawakami-kun."

Ms. Shima Iwashita, who was the drummer of the SICK HACK, stood on tiptoe and patted me on the shoulder very seriously.

"It's really astonished, Yu Zuojun, it's obviously the first time to practice with us, except for the beginning of the part, which was a little messy, and I didn't feel disobedient at all after that!"

Miss Eliza, who was holding the guitar, gave me a thumbs up and praised me boldly. I wiped the cold sweat off my head and smiled and said "thank you", to be honest, in the face of this kind of well-known band, it must be fake if I don't say nervous, but fortunately I adjusted it back after that, and I really thank Miss Hiroi for picking a new song that I have listened to more than 100 times recently......

"Look! I'll just say that Xiao Yuzuo is very strong! Ever since I saw the video he uploaded on YTB, it's already certain that this is the keyboard player I'm looking for!"

Miss Hiroi patted me on the back and burped intermittently.

That's right, as a flip keyboardist with 12W fans on YTB (note: the keyboardist has more varied instrumental playing, making it easier to attract fans than the rest of the band. It's not obvious in formal performances, but it's not the same when you pull it out), and I'm still a bit well-known in the indie music community...... Of course, it's just as a popularity for taking orders for unknown small bands.

Ever since I received the order from Miss Hiroi's band, I feel like I've lost more hair than before...... SICK HACK's style of performance is destined to be out of touch with the general public, but with a stable fan base, I can only do my best to show respect for such a band with such a strong personality......

"Although Kikuri likes to get into trouble...... But you did a great job this time."

Miss Iwashita always feels like the boss of a gang, so I joined a gang?

「…… By the way, Yu Zuo, we have a performance recently, do you want to show off on stage? Don't worry, the songs I picked are all songs you've heard many times before, just practice with us more!"

Miss Hiroi was holding a box of sake, slumped into a chair and spoke in a delirious manner.

"This ...... Not quite right? What if I make a mistake and get scolded by a large group of people throwing garbage and returning the money?"

"Don't be nervous, Kawakami-kun is just a routine performance, just so that you can quickly adapt to our band, and it's not once or twice."

Miss Iwashita squinted at Miss Hiroi, who was so drunk, that the killing intent in her eyes was about to overflow......

"I...... I see......

I swallowed, it didn't seem to be suitable for a miscellaneous fish like me anymore, I put my instruments in order, said goodbye to the three seniors, and set out on my way home......

……？ Why are there so many shoes at the door?

I opened the door and was dumbfounded to see four pairs of shoes neatly arranged in the doorway.

Has the guest already arrived?

I scratched my head and put my shoes away, and my uncle seemed to hear the doorway, and after saying something inside, he trotted to the entrance.

"Yuzuo, welcome home."

Faced with my uncle, who was wearing daily loungewear and simply tied up his long silver hair that had always been in a shawl, and my uncle, who was used to the smell of a dead house, I accidentally looked stupid.

「…… Yu Saku?"

"Uh...... It's okay, are there guests at home?" I slapped myself quietly and came to my senses, put on my slippers, covered my face and asked my uncle.

"Well, it's the Goto family not far from our house, it seems that your mother is Mr. Goto's high school classmate, and it seems that she formed a band or something with him before......

I paused, and cold sweat flowed down my back like a waterfall.

No, it can't be that coincidental, right......?

After calling Goto-san for so many days, I suddenly want to delete the word "Goto" engraved in my DNA overnight.

"Yusaku? You okay...... Why don't I make dinner?"

Seeing that something was obviously wrong with me, my uncle worriedly touched my forehead with the back of his hand and slowly breathed a sigh of relief:

"Fortunately, I don't have a fever......

…… Well? When will my uncle cook?!

Before I could ask, a young-looking man with broken pink hair walked up from the living room:

"Miss Hanain, is something wrong? Yes...... Are you Kawakami-kun, the child of the rain?"

「…… Yes, I'm Ikusaku Kawakami, hello Mr. Goto......

"Hahaha...... Kawakami-kun doesn't have to be so restrained...... I didn't expect it to be so long?,Obviously, in my impression,,The Hanain rain who is not afraid of the sky and the earth is very disdainful of finding a boyfriend.,Mr. Kawakami is really amazing...... Sorry, just thinking of some fun things from my high school days."

Mr. Goto touched his hair and said with a wistful expression.

"No...... It's okay, let's go to the living room first, Mr. Goto, and I'll prepare dinner right away. Uncle...... On a sunny day, you can go chat with Mr. Goto first."

I stepped away to escape, but an exclamation immediately broke my luck:

"Ah! It's big brother!"

Is it really a family member of Ichiri?!

"Huh?! This...... This is Yu ...... Yu Zuojun's home?!"

I didn't know anything with you, so I followed my family, didn't Ichiri-san?!

"It's over......"

I hid my face with my head back, trying not to let tears fall from my eyes.

"Huh? Kawakami-kun and my daughter are very close?"

Mr. Goto was a little surprised, he knew that his daughter was a little withdrawn and had few friends at school, so he called me by name, and his suspicious eyes immediately turned to me.

I couldn't help but recall the nightmare I had when I slept in class, it turned out to be real, and I would really be killed in reality

Judgment!

"Only...... It's just ......."

I explained my relationship with Ichiri incoherently, but Mr. Goto grabbed me by the shoulder, his eyes firm and touched:

"Needless to say, Kawakami-kun, I'm optimistic about you, come on!"

Alas?

No...... What's going on?

I was dumbfounded at the same time as Ichiri, who was shivering with black lines on his face.

This...... This plot goes ...... Not quite right?
