There is only one class on Monday afternoon, and school is not until 2 p.m.

Even though the sun is obscured by thick white clouds, the slightly damp ground is still a little stuffy.

The good thing about solar rain is that it's easy to see rainbows.

One end of the rainbow is obscured by tall buildings in the distance, and the other end falls in the middle of the city.

Perhaps it was because he was infected by the environment around him in the past year, and he suddenly remembered that he had a dream when he was a child, which was to see the scene on the other side of the rainbow.

How did you forget it? Maybe as I get older, there are more and more miscellaneous things.

The figures below the teaching building were in a hurry, and no one looked at him for his brief stop.

Until, he was knocked crooked.

"Huh?"

Shiina Kiri covered his waist and turned around, and when he saw the person behind him, he was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily.

"Why are you hitting me so hard, squad leader."

The elbow just now was not light, he thought it was Fujita Hirochi's kid, and it was not light or heavy to play, but now it seems to be a little personal grudge.

Kazuki Kobayakawa straightened up with a calm face. "Let's go."

"Where are you going?"

"Didn't you say you were going to take the guitar for care?"

Kazuki Kobayakawa turned his head and glanced at him with his schoolbag.

"I invited you yesterday, and you told me I had something to do in the afternoon."

"Today's work is in the hands of someone else."

"It turns out that the squad leader is really in trouble, I thought you were making an excuse."

"Heh, it's not like everyone is as idle as you and doesn't participate in club activities."

"Isn't this tiring for life?"

He followed Kazuki Kobayakawa towards the school gate.

The Yuuki High School campus covers a large area, and the school building is a short distance from the school gate.

It's just that there are not many people who leave school during this time period, and the school stipulates that there are no special circumstances that must participate in the club, so the "homecoming department" was tragically abolished and put on the ban position.

"Yuxia has entered the broadcasting department, and you are embarrassed to say this. I think it's necessary to talk to Mr. Koizumi about your school life, and now you are the only one in the entire C class. ”

The school radio sounded at the right time with the beautiful voice of Gensheng Yuxia, talking about tomorrow's sports festival.

Do you want to join a club?

Shiina Kiri frowned and thought about it, he had indeed been a little idle recently.

……

Kazuki Kobayakawa accompanied Shiina Kirishi back to the rental house to get a guitar, and put his schoolbag back to the "Flower Garden" in the old street.

For the maid aunt affectionately called her "Miss", Shiina Mist, who was carrying a piano bag on the side, listened to it.

When a woman disguises herself as a man, he kisses her forcibly, and he doesn't have to say anything.

However, he still respected her intentions on formal occasions, after all, this kind of thing had already happened.

What if your classmates at school found out...... I can't tell who was unlucky.

I'm afraid that everyone will know about it, after all, Kazuki Kobayakawa is the president of the student union in school.

The two took the train to a musical instrument shop named Jeugia near the Mitsukoshi mall.

In addition to guitars, there are also musical instruments such as saxophones, drums, and accordions.

The store manager is a middle-aged man with long beard and long hair, who looks thin and has a long face.

There weren't many customers in the store on Monday afternoon, so he took out his care tools and got busy.

Shiina Kiri looked around at the musical instruments in the store.

Since the guitar is listed as a skill in its own right, other instruments should be able to farm skills as well.

When the guitar is lv4, is it possible to dabble in other instruments?

Regarding skills, there are only two paths in front of you, one is to specialize, and the other is to stop at a shallow taste.

He currently prefers the latter, just farming other skills to lv4 in addition to learning.

After the middle-aged man loosened the strings of the guitar, he took off the fixed strings one by one, rolled the strings and put them on the headstock, and asked without raising his head.

"Do you need to change the strings?"

It sounds like selling melons, and by the way, the apples on the stall are also very sweet, so why don't you buy some and go back and taste them?

It's not all the same, though, and it's really easy to change strings when caring for a guitar.

"Yes, I'm in trouble."

He doesn't know when the last string change was, but it's been two months since the guitar was in his hands.

"What kind of strings do you need?"

"It's good to be handy, and I don't have much demand for timbre."

In terms of guitar, he's just getting started, and it's like looking at the lyrics and singing someone else's song.

If you don't study music theory, don't ever think about it.

I just don't know that the guitar skills were brushed by him to lv5, lv6, lv... Later, what will be the situation.

Or is it that the guitar level is not so high, and there will be a "bottleneck" at a certain stage?

It is not known for the time being.

Music theory?

Shiina fog has a flash of inspiration.

Learning music theory is not only good for the guitar, but also for other musical instruments, similar to a waystone, and you can get twice the result with half the effort by brushing the skills of other instruments in the future.

"In terms of the price of the strings?"

"Between 1,000 and 2,000 yen, you can arrange it."

The man answered and didn't ask anything more, and Shiina Kirishi and Kazuki Kobayakawa continued to walk around the store.

Soon after, he stopped under a wall of musical instruments.

"What are you looking at?"

Kazuki Kobayakawa followed his gaze and looked up.

"Is this a guzheng?"

Eight musical instruments in the shape of a guzheng are hung vertically on the wall.

Shiina Kiri is still a little surprised by the island country's koto, but it's normal to think about it, after all, a lot of things here come from the east.

"Guzheng? This is koto. ”

It's like Tanabata a few days later, with some local characteristics.

"I see."

Looking at the strings, there is indeed a lot less.

After a brief visit to the musical instrument store, the two returned to the middle-aged man, and Shiina Kirishi didn't think about what to do with the next skill.

They stood aside and watched as the middle-aged man simply sanded the fret with a polishing block.

In the summer, sweat stains infect the metal, but fortunately it is not badly worn.

Polishing, oiling, changing strings......

The middle-aged man who was fiddling with the guitar suddenly paused and looked at the inside of the sound hole in some surprise.

"Is there something wrong with the guitar?" Shiina Kiri was stunned for a moment.

The middle-aged man put down his guitar and glanced at him, with a slightly strange expression on his face, and after a moment, he pondered.

"I don't know what you call it."

It's rare to ask for someone's name when nursing guitars, but Shiina fog is not pretentious.

"Shiina Kiri."

"Oh, this guitar was given to you by someone else!" The middle-aged man suddenly smiled.

Shiina fog. “？”

Kobayakawa Kazuki on the side sighed silently.

Sure enough, whatever you are afraid of, you will come.

……

"Isn't it funny?"

When the two of them came out of the musical instrument shop, the sky was dark again, black clouds were overhead, and the noon sun looked like yesterday.

It may rain in a quarter of an hour.

"Ahem."

Shiina Kiri coughed lightly and did not answer.

"Are you funny, I ask?"

Kobayakawa Kazuki felt angry, gritted his teeth and asked again.

"How... There are many emotions of laughter, I would say happy, squad leader, believe it or not. ”

Shiina Kiri turned her head to look at the girl with a red face.

Tsundere is cute sometimes.

"You get out."

The girl's eyes on him were flustered, and she pushed him in a hurry.

"It's a bit fierce." Shiina fog is not annoyed either.

"Guitar for me!"

"I didn't say anything."

"Give me back!"

"There is no reason to give someone a gift and take it back."

The inside of the guitar was engraved with the word "Yiki", in fact, the boy guessed something when the middle-aged man with long hair asked him his name.
