Why do they take Tokyo's boyfriend rental seriously?

Chapter 36 Electric Guitar Test (Revised)
Because of his professional electric guitar playing skills, Ryuichi Sugawara has a lot of music knowledge and songs in his mind, but he doesn't know much about the related culture.

Before taking the subway, he took out his mobile phone to check where to buy electric guitars in Tokyo.

Regarding this question, the first place recommended by Google search is Ochanomizu Musical Instrument Street in Chiyoda Ward.

The biggest advantage of traveling alone is freedom, you can choose where to go based on your own will.

School is over at 4 p.m., but it is not yet the rush hour for office workers, so there are still plenty of seats.

Sitting down on the subway, Ryuichi Sugawara took the opportunity to look up information online and make a plan to avoid being in a rush when he arrived at his destination.

Not long after, he arrived at Ochanomizu subway station and got off.

Because he had made a travel guide in advance, even though it was his first time here, he did not act rashly and just followed the online guide.

His destination was clear: a music store that offered trial playing opportunities, as he wanted to try out his talent for professional-level electric guitar playing.

He doesn't mind spending money on an electric guitar if the experience is good.

Things are different now because he has found a job with great financial prospects and has a system to back him up, so he doesn't need to worry about money.

Of course, he would save as much as possible, and he would not become extravagant after becoming rich overnight.

As he walked out of the station, walked along the road and blended into the crowd, four hot girls appeared at the station entrance.

"Ochanomizu Station...what is he doing in a place like this?"

"I do not know."

“This is a place that specializes in selling musical instruments.”

Compared to their ignorance, Yuki Takanashi, who likes music, has some impression of this street.

"Aren't we going to a hotel or something?"

When she found out that the destination was this kind of place, Ishiguro Aine was very disappointed. She had originally thought she could see a good show.

"Aine, didn't you say you wanted to ask him about it? Go now."

Yoshino Sakai was also very disappointed and didn't want to follow any further.

“I haven’t found the right opportunity.”

"We were on the subway for so long and had so many opportunities. Are you afraid to ask him questions?"

Finding that she was still being stubborn, Yuki Takanashi seemed to see through everything and asked with amusement.

She had just mustered up the courage to approach Ryuichi Sugawara, so she knew how difficult it was.

"Uh……"

Having her thoughts seen through, Ishiguro Aine felt guilty.

"Don't worry, don't worry. The fare is already paid. Let's see what Sugawara-san wants to do first."

Utada Yoko didn't want to return empty-handed, and she had to find the answer to be satisfied.

At the same time, on the other side, Ryuichi Sugawara walked along the street and went straight into a used musical instrument store.

A used musical instrument store is actually a store that specializes in selling second-hand musical instruments, and it is also the store that most encourages customers to try playing the instruments.

"Welcome, how many guests are there?"

As the customer arrived, a male clerk came to greet him immediately with excellent service attitude.

Unlike ordinary stores, music store clerks need to have a certain degree of professional knowledge about musical instruments, so there are relatively few female clerks.

"One."

In response to his enthusiasm, Ryuichi Sugawara also responded.

"Okay, what do you need from our store?"

"I'd like to see an electric guitar, and ideally be able to play it."

"Okay, I understand. The electric guitars are all on the second floor. Please follow me."

During the conversation and speech, Sugawara Ryuichi also followed the clerk.

Along the way, he also saw a wide variety of things related to musical instruments.

For example, there are sheet music, music theory books, picks, cables, CDs, and even some weekly anime films. The things sold are many and varied but very complete.

"welcome!"

As they walked up to the second floor, the other idle shop assistants noticed that a customer had walked into the store and immediately greeted him with a smile on their faces.

"Shh~Keep your voice down."

This greeting almost scared Ishiguro Aine to death, and she quickly signaled him to keep his voice down.

She knew that she was doing something bad, which was secretly following others. If she was discovered by Sugawara Ryuichi, she would be in trouble.

“…” The remaining three people looked at each other, their hearts pounding, and they all felt guilty.

"Ok."

When the male clerk saw four beautiful JKs coming into the store, he felt overjoyed.

Originally, the customer base of a store like theirs did not include the JK group... But today, four JKs came at once, and they were so beautiful. Just receiving them made people feel happy.

"Do you know the boy who just came into the store?"

Yoshino Sakai observed secretly for a while, and after confirming that no one suddenly came down the stairs, she asked softly.

"I don't know him. This is his first time in our store."

The male clerk shook his head and explained.

"What is he doing upstairs?"

At this point, although Yuki Takanashi felt guilty for secretly following others, she was more curious.

She really wanted to know why Sugawara Ryuichi refused to go to karaoke with them, but ran to a place like this alone.

This guy, didn’t he say he still needed to study?
“We usually go up to the second floor to look at musical instruments.”

Although the male clerk didn't quite understand what their relationship was with the male customer, he didn't hide it after thinking about it.

"Can we go up and take a look?"

What you hear is not as good as what you see. Utada Yoko, who has the best impression of Ryuichi Sugawara, is not so easily satisfied.

----

Led by the shop assistant, Ryuichi Sugawara went up to the second floor.

"Oh..."

Seeing the scene and layout of the second floor, Sugawara Ryuichi couldn't help but marvel.

Unlike the first floor which is filled with musical instrument-related peripherals, the scene on the second floor is so gorgeous. As far as the eye can see, it is full of electric guitars of all kinds.

It was his first time in a musical instrument store, and it was truly an eye-opener.

"What brand of electric guitar do you like?"

The male clerk was also very happy when he saw his surprised expression.

"Let's take a look at Fanta first."

Faced with this problem, Ryuichi Sugawara thought about it and gave a choice.

In fact, he doesn't even know what brand he likes.

But his knowledge of professional electric guitar playing techniques told him that the Fender felt comfortable and suitable for playing pop and rock music.

"This section is full of Fender guitars. Take a look and see which one you like."

The male clerk nodded and continued walking with him.

"This one, please."

Faced with the wall full of musical instruments, Ryuichi Sugawara took a quick look and quickly made his choice.

After he made his choice, the male clerk took it down immediately, plugged in the cables, and then handed him the electric guitar and pick.

If an electric guitar is not plugged in, it is not an electric guitar.

"feel good."

Although it was his first time to play the electric guitar, Sugawara Ryuichi's holding posture was very standard. He carefully plucked the strings a few times, and his heart was lifted by the pleasant sound.

“All the instruments in the store are pre-tuned, so you can try playing them.”

The male clerk could tell from the way he held the guitar that he was not a complete novice, but had at least received some introductory training, and he also gave enthusiastic advice.

"Test firing..."

Perhaps he had prepared a strategy in advance, but when it came time to actually try playing, Ryuichi Sugawara didn't know what piece he should play.

His mind is full of various electric guitar songs, but he is not a rock fan and has no impression of many songs, most of which are from Europe and the United States.

If possible, he wanted to play music he already knew.

Just as he was searching through the electric guitar music library, an extremely familiar name caught his eye.

Electric guitar version of "Lemon"

This is the most popular, most famous and best-known song of Mr. Ba, and it is also a Japanese song that he loved very much in his previous life.
