Reincarnation Band Magician

Qing bowed.

Visiting my father-in-law...

Probably so.

Anyway, this action started.

Qing put on her coat, held an umbrella, and carried the trash. Before leaving, Xingge took out a cell phone she used in college and gave it to Qing.

"Because some guys only remember this number and have never changed it, you can use it first. My current phone number is on it. We can talk if you need anything."

Qing opened it and took a look, the battery was full.

Who will always remember to charge their replaced mobile phone?

"Thank you very much. I will definitely come back before the opening, no matter if my stomach is pierced or my limbs are broken..."

"That's not necessary!"

So he left Ichichi's house and began to wander.

The two sisters looked at his back through the glass, and Hiroi Kikuri memorized his image.

"She seems like a 'rock' type of person, but she's very caring, sis."

"Hmm...it's just okay."

At this time, Ijichi Xingge was wondering if there was room in the house for another person to live in, but in the end she received a regretful negative answer.

Inconvenient to varying degrees.

However, there is a storage room in the basement that is not used.

Is it risky to live here?

"See you in two days, sister, don't look at it anymore."

"Noob, who's reading this?"

Hong Xia left with a smile on her face. At this moment, she found a message on her phone, "Huh? Liang is really here? It's raining."

A break on the journey: 236, unexpected friends

Qing walked to the nearby station with an umbrella and saw a strange man walking in the rain without an umbrella.

The blue medium-length hair is loose, giving it a somewhat neutral and cold beauty, and may be liked by young female students in school.

The nosy hero candidate approached, "Hello, can I help you?"

"Yes, I left my umbrella at the store as collateral. Can you lend me 1,000 yen? My umbrella is an important birthday gift, so..."

You’re welcome!

If it were in a game, such concise communication would be very popular with efficiency-oriented people.

"for you."

Hiroi Kikuri signed and sealed a loan of 48500 yen from Xingge, and gave the remaining amount to Qing as the money for buying wine.

Xingge said, "It's paid for by breakfast," and didn't ask him for money for overnight stay, nor was it possible for him to ask.

The blue-haired girl was stunned for a moment, then quickly took it over. "Are you in a band?"

"Not yet, but I have practiced an instrument."

"No wonder, you look like you're in this line of work. There's a store called STARRY opening soon nearby. When the time comes, you can ask someone named Ichichi Hongxia for it. I'm her best friend, and she owes me some money."

"Hold on--"

Qing raised the umbrella to cover her head and recalled the conversation from yesterday.

He was still an elf at that time, so he remembered it very clearly.

"Is your name Ryo?"

"Was it premeditated? Coveting my beauty?" The girl named Liang raised her eyes, her golden eyes slightly alert. "It can't be helped. I have a pretty face, after all."

"No, Hongxia just mentioned it last night."

"Oh~ that's it, Shigaraki?"

"Well, Nagasaki Kiyoshi, pronounced Ryo but written as Qing in kanji, please advise."

"Please advise me, Ryo."

The other party deliberately used the same pronunciation.

After shaking hands, she pointed at Qing's pocket and said, "Since we're acquaintances, I won't pretend. I don't actually have an umbrella. I borrowed the money for food. I'm a bit tight this month. I'm a bit short of money before school starts."

"Does 'this month' mean now? Today is the beginning of the month, right?"

"Well, the money is used to explore the possibilities of musical development."

"I don't think there's any need to eliminate your chances of survival. Do you want to go to Hong Xia's house? I made some food this morning, and I have some extra. As for the money, I need it now, so this is all I can give you."

Qing gave her another 10,000 yen.

The father-in-law, Xiangzi's father, seemed to have resigned from his job and stayed at home due to a work mistake. Xiangzi frankly said that she had even used the time she had used to form a band to take care of her father.

It's hard to imagine an adult needing a daughter's care.

So, it must have been a serious blow.

That’s what Qing thought.

So now you may need money to help the other person.

Liang took it and thanked him sincerely, "Thank you, I don't think you are suitable for playing in a band now."

"why?"

"Because the one who is too serious and polite might be played with. If you have a female teammate who doesn't smoke or drink, then the chances of playing with the men might be three times higher."

What kind of weird stereotype is this?

Because continuing this topic would be considered harassment, Qing waved goodbye.

After leaving, out of caution, Qing told Xingge the whole story on the phone.

After a moment, the other side replied:

[Except for the lack of money, everything else is a lie! This guy! ]

The tone should be Hongxia.

Then a bunch of stuff came over.

[This is my social media account. We all use it to communicate. It has many convenient functions.]

【Understood. 】

Log in with the previous account.

"Eh?"

Actually there is, but it reminds you to verify the device.

Maybe it's some kind of coincidence?

Qing thought about it and chose to re-register. After a while, the "Bass Hero" account added Miss Hongxia.

And she teased him in a good-natured way at the first moment.

[Hahahaha… What is this? It's so outdated that it feels retro and trendy. Qing, you're definitely a genius!]

Is it outdated?

"Who calls it that nowadays... Ah, there is indeed a game called Guitar Hero. Was Qing influenced by that?"

On the tram, Qing's hand paused.

The answer to the question is: yes.

He still remembered that the person registered an account, filled in the nickname [Guitar Hero], and encouraged him to use this name.

But it is likely that there is no such guitar hero in this world, and even if there is, he is not one he knows.

It's so sad.

He entered the station and the train started heading towards Kita Ward, Tokyo. He was going to Akabane West Exit.

Although it is hard to imagine, Miss Xiangzi lives there, and her father is there too.

It takes a relatively long time.

During this period, Qing couldn't help but opened the video website and searched for Guitar Hero.

The avatar is exactly the same. He is a blogger with a lot of followers and widely praised for his technical skills. In his earlier videos, there was the aesthetically horrible pink sportswear, the narrow space, and the Gibson Black Card.

It’s me, it’s me.

With the thought of "witnessing the possibility of the only person I can call a friend", I went in to take inventory.

Then I saw the black and white photo for the first time.

?

In this world, Goto Ichiri is an abstract player?

Looking more closely, this black and white photo...

In the dim moment as he was leaving the tram station, he held up his phone, enlarged the photo, and held it up to his face against the glass.

Is this you?

This is me.

Exactly the same except for the shorter hair.

Before Qing fell into self-doubt, he remembered the goddess' words.

Lady Aqua searched all the universes under her jurisdiction, and he was the only one. In the observable universe, he was the only one who had the ability to save the world.

Otherwise, I would have sent people to deal with the demon king long ago.

So this Yili is the Yili he is familiar with, and the person in this portrait is him.

That's right, in another world, his death should have been on the news. When I was having dinner with Lady Aqua, I saw many people taking pictures, some even holding cameras.

But how did Yili get here?

At this time, he remembered the "some small influences" mentioned by the goddess Eris before, which led to the phenomenon of interdimensional exchange.

Rather than suspecting the goddess Aqua, it would be better to suspect the goddess Eris.

[It's understandable. After all, Eris is a junior, so it's normal for her to be less reliable than Aqua-sama. We can't blame her.]

After Haohai Qing defended the goddess, he opened the private message with the anticipation and joy of meeting an old friend in a foreign land.

Bess Hero: [Goto-san, is that you? I'm Nagasaki, do you remember me?]

Because he was excited, he skimmed over the title and didn't notice it, thinking that Goto Ichiri was just paying tribute to him in a normal way.

I originally thought we were just ordinary acquaintances.

Yes, after all, before he transferred to another school, they were the only two people who could communicate during the two years of junior high school. I didn't want to make friends before, so no friendship was born. Now it seems that the other party has long regarded him as a close friend, and even dressed so formally to mourn after learning of his death.

【I was wrong. 】

Thank you, Goto, no, Ichiri.

He politely refrained from further harassment before the other party responded.

Now, let’s think about Xiangzi’s father.

What attitude should we adopt?

A short break on the road: 237, old apartment

With anticipation, I put down my phone.
