"Goodbye seniors."

I packed up the equipment and waved goodbye to Sister Kikuri.

"Walk slowly, Xiao Yuzuo~"

Sister Kikuri gently put the bass on the table next to her and gave me a thumbs up with a smile:

"You can go to "Stars" today, Senior Sister Xingge seems to have something to find you."

It's rare that Sister Kikuri hasn't drunk today......

Looking at Sister Kikuri, who was supposed to be drunk all year round, I had some strange premonitions in my heart. Normally, Xingge seniors call and send messages to me, and they never tell me anything through Sister Kikuri, right?

"Yu Saku, let's go to Kitazawa and have a look, what if something really happens?"

Shima's predecessors also persuaded me to go to Beizawa in a strange way, is there something to hide from me?

"Ah...... Okay, thank you, senior."

Anyway, let's go to the "stars" to have a look, in case there is something urgent.

"Wow——!

I opened the studio door, and a double ponytail let out an exclamation, and immediately pounced uncontrollably on my chest. I hurriedly held her shoulders and said helplessly:

"Yoyoko-senpai, is there anything you can come in directly...... No need to lie on the door and eavesdrop."

"Who—who's eavesdropping! Woo......"

The red-faced Yoyoko senior shouted at me, and soon found that his voice was a little loud, which made some staff members look at it curiously and immediately covered their mouths.

"Summa, anyway! Yu Zuo, don't you still have something to do, hurry up——!

Didn't you say you didn't eavesdropping......

Yuyuko-senpai bypassed me and entered the recording studio and slammed the door shut.

Am I being disgusted......? I don't think I've messed with her lately......

Shaking my head in confusion and waving goodbye to the store manager, I opened the door of Shinjuku FOLT, and a cool breeze was blowing on my cheeks, and I realized that the weather had begun to get cooler.

"Alas, it seems that the day of wearing a padded jacket is coming......

Greeted a taxi on the side of the road and drove to the subway station, but fortunately it was Saturday and there were not many people on the subway. I found a random spot on the subway and plugged in my headphones for a while, and soon arrived at Shimokitazawa Station. I walked to the starry gate and was surprised to see a [resting] sign hanging in front of the door.

What's going on? Even if it's okay at this time, it's open, right?

I scratched my head and turned on my phone to call Xingge's senior.

Don't pick it up!

…… What about Sister Kikuri's?

Shutdown!

Gan! Are they teaming up to lie to me?!

Realizing that I might have been pranked, I turned around and went back to the subway station to go home, and along the way, I bought the ingredients for tonight's dinner.

"Looks like I'm going home late today...... Won't they be hungry and waiting for me?"

I sent a line message to Yili with some worry, saying that I might come back later, and I could have some snacks to pad my stomach first, but after a while, the message was still unread.

……？ What's going on today? Could it be that there is something big today that I don't know?

I opened the calendar and looked at it, and it was 10.26...... Super, isn't this my birthday!

The corners of my mouth twitched a little, and my head recalled some of their unreasonable behaviors before, could it be that I was asked to come to Kitazawa just to delay time, and then let me turn on the light in the dark room to surprise me?

This kind of routine is already rotten on the street, okay! If you want to pretend to be at least a little bit like a routine...... So easy to be discovered!

Even though I said that, my heart still warmed a little, so I'll pretend to be surprised when I get home.

Ah, yes! Since there are so many people, this order is definitely not enough......

I returned to the supermarket with some excitement to continue to select ingredients, it is rare to have a birthday is not with my parents two people, so I see that my mother has done some good things, today I will reluctantly forgive her for a day...... Speaking of which, will the two of them come back? Hawkers, it doesn't matter if they are or not~

"Ah, Furukawa-san?"

I returned to the supermarket and unexpectedly saw Furukawa-san carrying a large bag of snacks and a girl with long black hair chatting at the door.

「…… Yes? Kawakami-san, I didn't expect to meet you here."

Hearing someone calling her name, Furukawa-san looked around suspiciously, and then noticed me carrying vegetables.

"Is Furukawa-san's home nearby?"

"It's not...... My family is in Kanagawa, so I came to Kitazawa to play with my friends."

"Hello~ I'm Yoshida Hayashi, and my second home is in Shinjuku FOLT~ Welcome to my brother's house to listen to the band sing~ Oh, I don't know the name of the store directly...... It's actually a livehouse that provides live music for bands!"

Looking at the beautiful black girl who kept talking in front of me, I interrupted her with a dumbfounded voice:

"Are you the sister of the store manager?"

"Huh? Do you know my brother?! Then it seems that you must be playing in a band or a fan of a resident band~ Speaking of which, I haven't been to my brother's store for a long time since I went to live in Kanagawa with my father...... Why don't you just wait and give your brother a surprise in Shinjuku? Good idea! What does Lu think......

Stop, stop! Why can't this kid stop as soon as he speaks?

"How come I've never heard of the little silver store manager and a younger sister, only heard him mention that he has a younger brother?"

"Sister?"

Yoshida Lin Lin was stunned for two seconds, lifted the white dress printed with wisteria and swung a few times:

"It's true that my brother doesn't have a sister?"

Well?

I'm a little confused, since I don't have a sister, ...... is standing in front of me?

"Kawakami-san...... Lin Lin, he's actually a boy."

Furukawa-san, clasped his cheeks and said slowly.

"Poof—ahem, ahem—"

Choked on saliva for a moment...... Anyway, he doesn't look like a man! Painting a woman and saying that a man is right!!

"Ah! It's getting late!"

Before I could recover from the shock, Yoshida Linlin clapped his hands violently, touched the back of his head and smiled innocently:

"This little brother, let's see you in the future~ If you go back to Shinjuku FOLT today, you can join us?"

"Thank you, thank you...... But I still have something to do, so I'd better forget it......

I ran away and made my way back to the subway station, and I had to go back and digest the shocking news.

……

"Well, I'm finally home......

I dragged my tired body to slowly open the door, and looked at the darkness inside, which was not what I expected...... Anyway, I pretend to be surprised when I turn on the lights.

"I'm back......

Burst!

Before I could see what was going on in the living room, a lump of slimy stuff came to my face.

"Poofhahahaha-I knew that Xiao Yu would be fooled~~"

Kikusato-san's laughter...... Speaking of which, I'm having a birthday cake on my face, right......? It's definitely a birthday cake!

"Poof...... Gotta record him......

Sure enough, it's a joint crime, a few of you!!

I wiped the indescribable things from my face, only to see them smiling as they looked at my face. I couldn't even resist turning around and shaking!

"Hahahahaha...... Puff - Birthday, Happy Birthday Xiao Yuzuo~"

Damn, bring back my touch!!
