"Yu Saku...... Did you give her a guitar at your sister's birthday party yesterday? She carried a guitar from nowhere on her back last night, and when she got home, she locked herself in her room, and she looked silly and smiling at everyone today......

I was sitting at the bar drinking orange juice, and Hongxia, who was supposed to be rehearsing, sat next to me at some point, and said with a worried face.

「…… Well? Rainbow Summer? Are you done rehearsing?"

"I'm a little worried about my sister...... After asking a circle, people said that they didn't know why, so they simply paused first."

"Let's talk about it first, don't get me wrong, okay?"

"Huh? Well, I can't get me wrong."

"Actually, ......"

"Yu Saku! Come with me for a while."

I was about to tell Hongxia that I gave Xingge seniors guitars last night just to repay the care of seniors for most of the year...... Before he could speak, he was rudely interrupted by Xingge seniors not far away. Anyway, why am I always interrupted when I speak, is there a mysterious power from the East?

「…… As you can see, I'll tell you later, Hongxia, Xingge's predecessor seems to have something to do with me."

"Okay......

Unable to resist Hong Xia's increasingly dangerous eyes staring at me, I hurriedly left the bar and came to Xingge's predecessor in a bit of embarrassment.

「…… Is there anything going on with me?"

"It's not convenient to say here, you go out with me."

Senior Xingge stood up abruptly, grabbed my wrist and pulled it out, carrying the guitar bag that was set aside on his back.

「？！！ Seniors, slow down...... I can walk myself!"

……

"I'm a little embarrassed, but can I take a look at these three sheet music?"

"I...... I'll try to ......."

I sat in my chair behind the keyboard with three different instruments in my hand, tweaking the track on the synthesizer. Xingge seniors just sat quietly, silently sitting next to me and watching me busy.

Wrong...... Today's Xingge seniors are very wrong!

I kept trying on the keyboard in a cold sweat, and tried it intermittently for more than an hour, but Xingge's seniors didn't seem to care at all, and they didn't do anything the whole time, just looked at me quietly.

「…… Senior, it's already okay."

"Thank you for your hard work, let's start like this, okay?"

She picked up the Yamaha Pacifica 612VII. FM, which she had already debugged, plugged in the stereo, and slowly stood up.

The sound of the guitar resounded in the empty Livehouse, and I followed the rhythm of my predecessors while playing the sound of the repet, bass, and drum kit.

The music that stayed in the playlist only belonged to the Star Song Seniors Band sounded in my ears, and I sat behind the keyboard and played it intently. Speaking of which, this is the first time I've played music with three instruments and people at the same time...... It's a tiring feeling, but it's not bad.

And worthy of the predecessors, the rhythm of the guitar is calm and powerful, passionate and not harsh...... Not at all like a musician who has been retired for a few years. But why did you suddenly remember to take me to another livehouse today?

……

「…… Phew, it's been a long time since I've been so cool!"

After the song ended, the sweaty Xingge seniors drank mineral water, and I was already tired of lying on the keyboard like a dead dog......

Gan Oh...... Next time, I won't just play threesome so directly......

"Then I made a fussy."

I laboriously stretched out my hand to receive the mineral water thrown by Xingge's seniors, unscrewed the bottle cap and drank it in small sips:

"Ah...... It's alive......

"Thank you for today, Yu Saku."

Xingge senior sat on the bar chair, supporting the back of the chair with both hands:

"I'm a talented keyboardist who brought Kikuri into the SICK HACK, and I can play all three instruments at the same time, and there are basically no mistakes...... To be honest, I'm a little jealous of her, and it would be nice if I just shoved you into the end band."

"Genius keyboardist or something...... What a shame on this title! I'm really a rookie......

"Okay, you say it's a rookie or a vegetable."

"Ah...... Speaking of seniors, why did you suddenly pull me to play today, and you even chartered this big livehouse."

"Actually, this is where our band used to stay."

Senior Xingge stroked the black guitar on the bar, and recalled in a gentle tone that he had never heard before:

"Actually, Hongxia didn't have a very good relationship with me when I was a child. When I was twenty-one years old, I was constantly alienated from Hongxia because of the band's activities, and even found it very annoying for Hongxia and my mother who forced me to stay at home at that time.

Because of the band, Hongxia cried more than once, and also said "I hate the band the most, and I won't go to Live if I die in this life". From time to time, I went to live with my former companion Lisa for a month or two to avoid them......

"This is a runaway, senior......

"Huh? Why can you say the same thing as Lisa, hahaha......

Xingge senior gently held the mineral water bottle with both hands, and smiled very reluctantly:

"After staying at her house for a few days, my mother found me...... Originally, I wanted to run away, but Lisa said, "Since Auntie is here, why don't you talk to her." "So my first face-to-face communication with my mother began by accident~

She said, it's a good thing to chase your dreams wholeheartedly, after all, now is the happiest and most enjoyable period for you. It doesn't matter if you think Mom and Dad hate it, because this is the freedom of Xingge.

But you can't let Hongxia be lonely...... It's very important to maintain a good sisterhood! After all, Mom, we will one day leave before you...... And from then on, you're going to have to support each other to survive...... So, Mom, I want you to be the number one sisters in the world. That's my mother's only wish!"

After saying these words, Xingge senior buried his head in his arms and muttered with a little crying:

"Why didn't you give your mother an affirmative answer at that time......

「…… What about Auntie?"

「…… Shortly after saying this, he died in a rear-end accident."

"Ah...... I'm sorry......."

"That day, Hongxia and I stood in front of my mother's grave, Hongxia kept crying, but I looked indifferently at the relatives around me who came to mourn as if I didn't feel anything...... Maybe my time in my seemingly carefree 21-year-old world stopped at that moment......

"Senior Star Song, I'm ......"

"Please, Yu Saku...... Hear me finish the story...... Okay?"

In the face of Xingge's seniors, who are particularly fragile today, I originally wanted to ask why I was talking to me about these things, but I had to hold back and continue to listen to the words of my seniors.

「…… At that time, I didn't think that my mother's death had changed anything, but that she had gone to a far, far away place...... After only a month, I left Hongxia alone at home and resumed band activities. Lisa had also advised me not to be in such a hurry to resume the band, but at the time, I didn't care, and I would be cranky at home......

My time in the band passed quickly, and I seemed to have forgotten about my mother's death...... It wasn't until just before our band's first live performance that my dad called me out of the blue and he said...... Hongxia ran home from school and was clamoring to suspend her studies......

I don't remember exactly how I got home...... I only remember Hongxia screaming and crying at home, and kept saying that I don't want to do anything...... I'm going to stay at home all the time......

Speaking of this, Xingge senior choked up and smiled sadly:

"I tried my best to comfort her, saying that my sister knows your feelings, but you still have to study hard and stuff, and want to tie her hair up as usual...... Yu Zuo, do you know what Hongxia said to me at that time?"

「…… I don't know."

"She cried hoarsely at me: I can't tie it well...... Mom, she's gone!"

Xingge's predecessors couldn't bear it anymore, and cried bitterly, constantly wiping the tears from the corners of their eyes:

"yes...... Mommy She ...... Nowhere is it...... Why was I so stupid...... I haven't realized this for so long...... Hongxia she ...... Staying at home alone all the time...... Facing the death of my mother! …… During this period of time when I escaped from reality and never came home...... I've been ...... alone."

"Senior ......"

"Ah...... Sorry......"

Senior Xingge wiped his tears vigorously and continued to whisper:

「…… And it was at that moment that I finally understood what I was supposed to do. I tied up Hongxia's hair and took her to my first show...... Jean Lisa taught her how to play the drums...... One day she excitedly held my hand and said that she had a dream, when she dreamed of forming a band...... I also understand what my dream is: I hope that in the days to come, I hope that Hongxia's face will always be filled with such a happy expression......

Speaking of Yuzuo, I don't seem to have told you the meaning of "stars", right? How's that, would you like to hear it?"

"I've been listening, Senpai."

"Me...... I want to make this a shining place where the light shines on my mother through the wonderful performances of the star-like bands here......

"Senpai...... Today I have always had a question, why are you talking to me about this?"

「…… Actually, I've always been a surprise, huh? After all, it's the first time someone has bought me such an expensive guitar for my birthday......

"Ah...... Actually, I didn't buy it......... Never mind! It's a birthday gift I bought for my seniors! Thank you very much for taking care of me!"

"Miss store manager will cry when she hears this?"

Senior Xingge stood up, walked behind me and hugged me gently:

"Thank you, Yu Zuo...... Can you find this guitar and give it to me...... I'm really happy ......."

「…… Then ask the manager of Xingge to give the four little ones more wages."

"Do you have to interrupt this atmosphere at this time......
