Chapter 320

Although his skills might not be the most outstanding, he just wanted to hear it.

"I understand, I'll begin."

After saying that, she walked to the speaker, plugged in the guitar, took a deep breath, and started playing the pick.

After a few seconds of slow, quiet guitar music, she began to sing:

"まれたplaceからしれて(leaving the place where I was born)"

"This is my dream (I realized what kind of dream I was having)"

"Looking up at the distant sky"

"It's because I miss my warm nest"

"..."

The lyrics are straightforward and without repetition, constantly conveying the creator's original intentions.

After the first few quiet lyrics were sung, at a certain moment, Ogura Asahi suddenly interrupted, her voice changing key and disrupting the original rhythm.

Hana-dono Tae looked over in surprise at first, but quickly realized what was happening. She smiled happily and pressed her finger on the button, and the button was instantly applied.

The version he sang was a duet with Toyama Kasumi and the others. Compared to her original Solo, this version had more key changes and a more melancholic feel to her voice.

"That's amazing..."

Chihaya Aine glanced at Hana-dono Tae, whose posture had instantly changed after the surprise attack, her eyes slightly narrowed.

Could she, Lu Yi, become such a skilled guitarist?

"..."

"The instrument H phosphorus instrument A flag is (~just jiu dad..."

After the performance, Ogura Asahi said goodbye to her, "We'll be going now. Thank you for today, Otae-senpai—next time I'll bring you some sweets you haven't tried before as a token of my gratitude!"

"I'm really looking forward to it!"

Hana-dono Tae stood with her arms out in front of her, her eyes shining.

That was the most empowering sentence she had heard all day!

Bye-bye~

Chihaya Aine smiled and waved at her.

"Oh! Keep it up! I look forward to you becoming a full-fledged guitarist!"

"I will try my best!"

She suddenly felt immense pressure.

"Ah~ I have so much stuff, I think I'll take a taxi home later~"

After leaving the Musical Instrument Store, Chihaya Aine, carrying large bags of items and a guitar on her back, said with a slightly bitter expression.

"Let's do it this way. I'll put you in the car and then go back."

Ogura Asahi, who was helping her carry another bag, agreed.

"Thank you so much for today, Senior Asahi!"

"You're welcome. Go back and start studying from the book. I'll check your homework regularly via online video!"

"Eh, eh... I feel like I'm going to have a really tough time soon..."

"Then you're right, musical instruments do require diligent practice."

He couldn't help but laugh and tease her.

However, he wasn't too worried about her Mirai development and didn't have the pessimistic feeling of teaching a mentally challenged student.

After all, there aren't many normal, ordinary people in the three school bands.

Even though she has a sweet smile and is often ridiculed as a London deserter, this pink-haired girl, who is easily overlooked, was once a top student Student Council President in junior high school who often got full marks on her exams!

Furthermore, it only took her a few days to go from awkwardly pressing chords one note at a time according to the sheet music to being able to play popular songs fluently, which barely earned the approval of Nagasaki Sōse!

You can say she's bad now, but you can never say she has no talent.

With the right encouragement, she is the kind of student who can make rapid progress.

He was confident that, with proper training and development, she would be able to replace Kanau and become a qualified lead guitarist!

From now on, please call her Genius Milk Dragon!

After seeing Chihaya Aine into a taxi, he returned to where he had parked his car.

He took a change of clothes from the trunk, and when no one was around, he quickly changed in the car before heading to his next destination.

"..."

"..."

"Why aren't you saying anything? Get in the car!"

Sakurakoji Talent reached his hand inside, urging the two people staring blankly out the car window to hurry up.

"Talent-kun, you really keep surprising us!"

Kogisora Yukina's gaze shifted between the expensive, gleaming black luxury car in front of her and him, her eyes filled with complex and resentful emotions.

"Suddenly a luxury car stopped in front of us. We thought it was some stranger trying to chat us up, it scared us to death!"

Just as surprised as she was, Touma Kazusa also curiously scanned him and the car with great interest.

"I was planning to get my driver's license and buy a car after the summer vacation, but you beat me to it."

Then, she looked at him with amusement. "You're probably not old enough to get a driver's license yet, are you? Driving illegally?"

Or are you actually older than me?

Her birthday is May 28th, which is also a disadvantage because her birthday is in a later month, resulting in her starting school a little later.

But because of this, unlike others who can only get their driver's license after entering university, she can take the test this summer and then drive around and show off (not really).

"Well... guess?"

He glanced away, avoiding answering.

If those two found out that I'm actually younger than them, who knows what kind of treatment I'd receive? I absolutely mustn't tell them!

To be honest, he'll have to wait until he wants to play sibling games sometime in the future... but that probably won't happen. Just Okura Rumin is already giving him a lot of headaches.

"Anyway, I'll definitely be fine on the road, so don't worry!"

"Come on up... Ah, wait a minute."

Suddenly remembering something, he unbuckled his seatbelt, got out of the car, went to the trunk, opened it, pushed the bag containing Ogura Asahi's clothes further inside, took out another clothing bag, and closed the hood.

He walked up to Kogisora Yukina and handed her the bag. "Here, Yukina, this is for you."

"What is this?"

Kogisora Yukina tilted her head cutely and asked.

"I think the CD of the songs you recorded will be quite a meaningful keepsake."

"Huh? The game has already been released?"

"The online release has already taken place, but the physical CD will take two more days."

He explained to the two of them, "I'll send you a few more after that one arrives."

"Just like Yukina's CD, you can keep it or give it away as you like. As your first related work product after entering the industry, it has quite a special meaning, right?"

"Hmph, this might be the last one."

Touma Kazusa muttered softly.

"Hey hey~ As long as the great Kazusa- sama can help me finish this piece, I'll ask for nothing more~"

He was so used to not bother arguing that he said to Kogisora Yukina:

"Well then, Yukina, after you put that at home, let's set off."

"Okay! I got it! Wait for me!"

"Etc,"

Touma Kazusa stopped her, looking at him coldly and asking, "Shut up?"

"... What do you mean?"

"As is customary, there should be something else to say at this point, right?"

She held her head high as if it were perfectly natural.

Kogisora Yukina, standing to the side, seemed to understand something. She gave a slightly shy chuckle and, for no reason, wrapped her long, slender, and rounded white fingers around her own brown, shiny hair.

After a slight pause, seeing her expression, he wasn't stupid and quickly realized what she meant, replying with a smile, "You two look very beautiful today!"

"Yukina was cute to begin with, but she's even cuter today!"

"Kazusa... you're as cool as ever today, I love that look too!"

Already youthful and beautiful, yet still showing signs of naivety, but possessing a maturity beyond their years, they dressed up carefully, perhaps because they were going out today, further highlighting their cuteness and coolness.

Kogisora Yukina wore a light pink dress with a thin shawl over it, and mid-calf socks and brown boots, which accentuated her beauty without making her look too young.

She never cared about dressing up Touma Kazusa simply wore a casual outfit that urban women usually wear.

A white inner lining, a silk-cotton jacket, a casually loose belt, Black Stockings that reach her thighs, a fine mesh skirt, black pantyhose, and mid-heeled shoes—compared to Kogisora Yukina, she clearly exudes a mature and sophisticated style, effortlessly cool and chic.

He guessed that, being averse to trouble, she had probably just picked out a few clothes that looked good and put them on.

But the fact that she can unexpectedly capture people's aesthetic sense with just a casual outfit is, undeniably, a talent.

"..."

After hearing his assessment, she subtly averted her gaze, her expression calm, though the tips of her ears turned slightly red.

"Thank you! Talent-kun very handsome today too!"

Kogisora Yukina responded with a playful laugh, bending forward slightly, before skipping and hopping home.

The place where they were standing was right in front of the Kogisora Family's house, which was also their agreed meeting place.

Touma Kazusa's family lived in the Kita Ward, which was too far away, they chose her house as the meeting point.

Since she didn't know when her date with Chihaya Aine would end, this would also allow Touma Kazusa and wait for him.

"Hey~"

After she went inside, Touma Kazusa spoke softly.

"What?"

Sakurakoji Talent glanced over.

"Give me a few copies of Yukina's CDs too."

"It wasn't you who sang it..."

"But I was the one supervising!"

Touma Kazusa interrupted her, frowning in displeasure, "To give it to me or not?"

"Here you go, take a few back with you later."

He reluctantly succumbed to her tyranny, "But... why don't you want to try it next time?"

"..."

She pursed her pale pink lips, remained silent for a moment, and then said, "We'll see."

Well, if they're softening their stance, there's hope. He smiled with satisfaction.

"Mom! Could you put this away for me?"
