Reincarnation Band Magician

"Yeah, I feel a little uncomfortable."

The door was opened quickly, otherwise Yili would be startled by the sound of the door opening.

"my room?"

"No, in the closet. Don't mind her."

"Eh? Wasn't that too rude?"

"It's best to keep it like this."

Yamada Ryo, who was standing by, showed a little interest. "He seems like a strange person, very interesting."

……

PS: Here are three chapters first, and there will be two more chapters later. It is recommended to go to bed early.

A short break on the journey: 268. I am alone in this world

I made lunch with Su Shi. Although we still have a tacit understanding to develop, we can always understand each other quickly without any extra words, which is also very comfortable.

Effective communication is always a pleasure.

After the ingredients were prepared, Qing flipped the beef while chatting.

"Yamada didn't do anything strange, did he?"

"No, Miss Liang is very interesting."

Soyo bit the pronunciation of "Ryo", which seemed like teasing to her brother, but Qing was unmoved and said calmly: "If you treat her to food, remember to keep the account. Don't let money affect the relationship between friends."

I won't push for it, but I won't refuse it either. Money can easily unbalance the friendship, so when interacting with friends, you should pay attention to the give-and-take.

In his alternate world, the team's lives were tied together, so anything that wasn't excessive could be purchased with team funds—Frilian's spellbook and various junk collecting obsessions falling into the realm of "excessive."

Yamada was standing nearby, eagerly waiting for dinner to start. He nodded when he heard this.

"Well, actually, lending money is part of building friendships. It's fun to use various methods to achieve your goals. If everyone were as casual as Qing, my fun would be gone."

"Then return the money to me, and I'll lend it to you in a more difficult way."

Liang bowed deeply with a calm expression, "Please forgive me, this month is indeed a bit critical. I have already made preparations to go to Hong Xia's house for a meal once a week and eat grass the rest of the time."

Su Shi still couldn't quite understand it and just thought it was a joke, "Ahaha, Miss Liang is really funny."

Qing's intuition told him that this person was serious.

"At least you should eat well. Your moral character can no longer be saved, but at least you should keep your body healthy."

“I’ll keep it in mind.”

……

This is a boy's room, so full of youthful energy... No way! Who would lie down in the closet on their first visit? It only smells of wood, but the quilt smells just like Qing's, so fragrant...

I'm too nervous to fall asleep.

To her, who suffers from extreme social anxiety, strangers are as scary as ghosts—the ghosts that ordinary people know, but which she herself is not afraid of.

I've never seen anyone in a horror movie hide and take a nap at the same time.

Although some friends felt more at ease, they were not relaxed enough to fall asleep.

"Let's talk to mom about the situation first."

The mother first asked about her health and whether she was hallucinating due to low blood sugar and hunger because she didn't eat breakfast.

Yili's competitive spirit was aroused. She quietly opened a gap. The kitchen in the living room could not see this side. She carefully raised her mobile phone and took a picture of Qing's bed.

【Mom, I'm at my friend's house.】

Did he faint from hypoglycemia and was taken home by a kind person?

So that’s not the case!

And in that case, people are usually sent to the hospital.

Although ideally, that would be the only possibility for her to appear in someone else's home.

But it’s different now, she has friends now, not impractical, imaginary, or from other dimensions, but real human friends!

However, with Goto Ichiri's level of expression, it is difficult to explain it to his mother in a short period of time.

[Anyway, I'm at a friend's house. I have to go to a live house this afternoon. Don't worry, I'll be back before dinner!]

The Goto family at this time.

Mr. Naoki Goto and Ms. Michiyo Goto were holding their chopsticks in a stiff posture, and it was unclear whose chopstick had fallen off.

Goto Jiri and the dog tilted their heads and looked at them.

After a long while, the husband said, "Is this true?"

"Renting friend?"

……

"Yili, the meal is ready."

"Okay, okay!"

The girl in the tracksuit came out of the closet, her posture resembling that of an international superstar in the horror industry.

Here, I could see the table filled with food, and my social nerves were dulled, feeling something was wrong. "Well, I didn't do anything. Is that not good?"

"It doesn't matter to me. That guy didn't do anything, so I won't worry about it. I guess I won't be going to other people's homes in the near future. I'll think about this when the time comes."

"Thanks……"

But this is not the time to relax.

There are still two hurdles.

"How to properly greet not very familiar relatives and friends at a friend's house" is also one of the difficulties of visiting someone's home, and it is already the final question. As a person with social anxiety who scored 0 points in the social test, she would be in awe every time she saw such a question.

More knowledge than necessary.

As for real life, Yili's boldest imagination in the past was to have a friend who could say hello to him at school.

[Now I have shed my otaku skin and become a real person...]

For a moment, I felt a little dizzy.

And so he was brought out.

"This is Ichiri, Goto Ichiri, my junior high school classmate, Suyo, my sister, and Yamada Ryo, the freeloader."

"Hello, my brother's friend, can I call you Ichiri?"

In Ichiri's eyes, Miss Sushi's face, which was similar to her friend's, seemed to be glowing.

“Kira…”

Being called by a name by a girl like this would give you the illusion that you are being treated as a friend, and you would feel like you were elevated.

Her body began to fall back limply.

"Eh? Ichiri? Goto-san?"

The latter title brought her back to her senses.

Yamada Ryo calmly looked away, "I see. So, you're not good at close contact?"

"I'm a little embarrassed."

"But wouldn't it be too distant to call me 'Goto-kun'?"

Miss Su Shi was a little concerned, as she was the type who rarely used honorifics after getting to know someone.

But for Yili, this was simply unbearable.

"Then let's give her a nickname," Yamada Ryo always had ideas. While picking up the rice and taking a bite, he thought of something. "Ichiri, let's call her 'Pochi', Pochi-chan."

Hitori bocchi means "alone".

If you are not familiar with it, you can sing the second line of Spring Shadow.

"Haha!! Thank you so much!"

Suddenly I got excited.

Qing explained, "She doesn't seem to have been given a nickname. She thinks this is a huge social improvement."

"Where's Qing?"

"I don't care about that. Just normal ones are fine."

"Me too," Su Shi nodded, "I find it annoying to be given strange names."

"Okay, let's eat. I've tried my best to be polite."

"Okay, Ichiri... give you food."

Qing pushed the bowl over.

The two ladies next to her looked at Goto-san, but she had no reaction at all. She just took the bowl with a silly smile, feeling happy about being called a nickname for the first time.

"Thank you."

It seems they have a good relationship.

After yesterday's meal, she was looking forward to today's cold weather. She didn't care about these details and had already eaten half a bowl of white rice. Out of politeness, she didn't pick up her chopsticks. Qing said not to mind those things, and then she belatedly said, "I'm starting to eat."

Qing still adhered to the church etiquette of holding hands with fingers crossed.

At this moment, Yili remembered the conversation he had just had with his mother. He looked at the table, pulled Qing's clothes, leaned over, and said at high speed:

"Well, my mom didn't seem to believe I was at my friend's house, so I wanted to take a picture of this as evidence. I also want to hang it up in my house as a souvenir, filled with gratitude! Excuse me, I also wanted to show off my private Marseille!"

"Uh……"

Qing understood.

It is normal for young people to take pictures before eating.

"Do you need me to be in the camera?" Qing asked.

At this time, he still didn't know that his "farewell ceremony" was organized by the Goto couple, and just thought it was a madness.

"No, no need!"

Yili took out his cell phone and tapped the table.

This caused a chain reaction. Liang took a photo and sent it to Hongxia to show off. Qing and Su Shi sent it to their mothers to ask if they had eaten well at noon.

"Okay, let's eat."

A short break on the journey: 269, I want to become a guitar master

"This will last me two more days. I'll probably go to an izakaya to celebrate STARRY's opening. I can have another big meal then and take some food away. It'll last me another three days. I'll also add some wild vegetables, so I'll have enough for a week. After that, I can rely on the money I earned to eat out every two days and occasionally go to Hong Xia's house..."

After the meal, Yamada Ryo rubbed her stomach and calculated the ideal consumption. At least her analysis was calm, much more organized and realistic than the college students who thought about eating dirt before spending money.

Qing rubbed his forehead, "If you really can't even afford a meal, then come here. Hong Xia has to take care of the store. I can't say you're welcome here anytime, but at least it's okay to have a meal."

"She's like a bodhisattva... But no, if this continues and becomes a habit, I'll probably spend all my money on food and drink every month."

"I hope you'll think about this before your next splurge."

"That won't work."

Cleaning the dishes with the blue-haired bassist.

This was very annoying after the meal. Qing, who had gotten used to the crystal dishes, had become lazy, and having Yamada just helped to share the work.

Her hands and feet are quite nimble.

Noticing this, Qing thought of Xingge, "Is she still hiring? Maybe you can go there to work and make a living."

"It's impossible for me to work part-time...at least not now. But if I can find enough people in the future and form a band with Hong Xia, maybe I can entertain guests and learn the experience of being in a performing band at the same time."

Playing in a band costs money, and if you don't have money, you have to work part-time. This kind of thing is very common in Shimokitazawa. Almost in every box, there are bands who have not reached the revenue line and are working part-time.

When it comes to the band, Yamada Ryo seems very proficient.
