"I said, you only came yesterday, Yu Saku."

Seeing me coming in through the gate of the stars with a hot breath, Xingge's predecessor was a little speechless and hung with dead fish eyes:

"Why, didn't you come with that sexual harassment pervert today?"

"Senior, I'm not familiar with him, and he's also the guy recommended to me by Shima's seniors."

I rubbed my frozen hands together and sat down next to her:

"Can you make me a cup of milk tea, senior?"

"Do it yourself!"

"No, no...... The ones I make myself don't taste as good as those made by my predecessors."

「…… When did you start to learn to pat on the back?"

Senior Xingge stood up and looked at me condescendingly, and then sighed softly:

"Forget it, for the sake of what you've done for them, I'll make you a share."

"Hey...... I know that my predecessors are the best."

I held my cheeks and looked at Xingge's seniors behind the bar making milk tea, and asked with some curiosity:

"Do you have any plans for the New Year?"

"What can you do, it's nothing more than being at home with Hongxia. What, you want to ask me out?"

"Ah...... Although I really want to do it. But my parents are coming back for the New Year, and I'm going to go to Suwa Shrine with them."

I took the warm milk tea and asked Xingge seniors:

"If the senior and Hongxia are not busy, they can also join us. After all, it's not just our family, the Yili family will also go with us. It's a little more crowded."

"Suwa Shrine?"

Xingge senior walked out of the bar and sat back next to me, also holding a cup of milk tea exuding heat in his hand:

"Isn't that in Kanagawa, I don't know where you live."

"You didn't ask me, did you...... Ichiri and I both live in Kanagawa."

I rolled my eyes, a year has passed, and I haven't seen how many Xingge seniors have been out, could it be that the seniors are also a hidden ultimate dead house?

"Then I'll ask Hongxia then, I've been almost busy with work these days, and I should take Hongxia out to play for a few days."

Senior Xingge nodded, and replied thoughtfully.

"Speaking of which, where has Hongxia gone, Fanxing hasn't seen her in the past two days."

"She's ......"

Xingge's predecessor drooped his hair, lying on the table and stirring the straw inserted in the milk tea:

"Originally, I was going to have a holiday so that she could stay at home for a while longer, or hang out with me or something...... As a result, they were called by Kita and Pochi for the past two days."

…… I said why I didn't see a mile at home, but it was already booked in advance! Hey...... But did they take a vacation because they wanted to spend time with Hongxia......

"If the seniors weren't so arrogant in front of Hongxia, maybe they wouldn't have to waste such a big chapter...... How's their new song going?"

"Not much progress."

Senior Xingge took out two lollipops from his pocket, held them in his hand and hesitated for a few seconds before handing me the green apple-flavored one and stuffing the strawberry-flavored one into his mouth:

"After all, Xiao Liang is here to compose the lyrics and music this time, and it is for their band's first music festival performance, so I guess the pressure is still a little too much...... But it's normal, after all, I was almost bald in the first place for a new song."

Xingge's predecessor covered the wall of the cup and recalled, as long as she talked about the things of her predecessors, she would always show such a gentle smile.

"Yu Zuo, why did you start practicing in the first place?"

"Me? Although a little embarrassed...... But since the seniors want to hear it, it's not impossible."

"Actually, I didn't have any interest in music before. Although my mother used to be a drummer in a band, it seems that after marrying my father, I never touched her drum kit again. At the time, I thought it was just an ornament...... I don't know if I don't check, and I'm shocked when I check it. After touching the instrument, I went to the instrument store and asked her what brand the drum kit was, but I didn't expect it to be a Yamaha Phoenix......

"Ya...... Yamaha Phoenix?!"

Xingge's seniors who heard this name widened their eyes and swallowed their saliva tremblingly:

"Difficult、Is it the Yamaha Phoenix worth 130w days?!"

"It seems to be a limited edition signed by Dave Weckl."

"Really...... If Lisa were still here, I'd be excited to ask you to let her take a look......

"Even if you want to see it, you can't help it."

I shrugged my shoulders and said wordlessly:

"In order to live a two-person world with my father, I decisively cashed in 2 million yen last year, and when I was taken away, I was the most troublesome."

Sighing slightly, I continued to talk to my seniors about the memories that were sealed in my mind:

"Actually, I can't be said to be a social star at the time, but I can also say that I am alone. I couldn't find any topics to communicate with them at all, and I felt that I was a little more relaxed and happy by myself.

So I didn't make any friends at all in the years of elementary school, and I went home after school, and I basically didn't talk to my classmates...... So much so that the girls in my class started to give me the nickname "Ice Cube".

But luckily, when I went to junior high school, I met a girl my age online. At first, I saw her on the little blue bird, and watching her unskillfully hold the guitar and play the songs, I somehow had a little idea in my heart that I wanted to stand with her and play.

I've heard someone say that a good keyboardist can even be a "guy is a band", and with this naïve idea, I followed her on the path of learning keyboards......

Speaking of which, I recalled with some embarrassment:

"Because she told me that she wanted to be a musician who shines on stage in the future, maybe my wish at that time was to stay behind her and walk with her...... Hawkers,Although she has found a trusted companion not long ago.,She hasn't sent me a message this year.,It seems that she doesn't need me much anymore hahaha~"

"Yu Saku...... Are you alright?"

"It's okay senior, this time our roles have been reversed, right, you should just listen to an after-dinner joke. Besides......

I felt the warmth coming from the milk tea cup:

"I know she's doing well now, and she's content...... But there's always a feeling of being forgotten...... It hurts! Why are you beating me again?"

"To sober you up?"

Senior Xingge gave me a pop, tore the lollipop I put on the table and stuffed it into my mouth, and smiled at me gently:

"You can tell me anything on your mind, I'm your predecessor after all, aren't I?"

Doesn't it seem like I'm alone now......

I raised the corners of my mouth slightly, feeling the sweetness of the lollipop.

Not anymore.
