I just want a single ending

The sooner you know, the more time you will have to find a solution.

Although it is not his responsibility to help them solve the problem.

But they are all conquerable characters, he can't just leave them alone.

No, it should be said that even if he removed the identity of a conquerable character, he still couldn't ignore it.

Kamikawa Suku is not the kind of person who would not lend a helping hand even though he knows his friend is in trouble.

Anyway, he has various reasons to help them.

Of course, he still has a certain bottom line.

The bottom line is whether Kita Ikuyo thinks this matter is excessive.

If she thinks it's too much and doesn't want to tell me, then I naturally won't ask any further questions.

Instead, they will choose other methods to understand.

At least, I won’t keep asking questions.

"……it is good."

Kita Ikuyo gave her answer.

That was the agreement they made, and he had to abide by it.

"Before you explain, how about we talk somewhere else?" Before she could continue, Shangchuan Su suggested, "We can't keep standing in front of someone else's store and talking. It'll affect their business."

"makes sense."

Kita Ikuyo glanced at the karaoke sign and did not refuse.

"Then come with me, I know a good cafe nearby." Kamikawa Su said with a smile.

"Ah."

···

Sit down at a window table in the cafe.

"You can say it now."

After the food they both ordered came up, Kamikawa Susumu reminded Kita Ikuyo.

"The reason I go to karaoke to practice is actually very simple. I just want to make up for my shortcomings."

Kita Ikuyo stirred the coffee with a spoon and spoke a little embarrassedly.

"insufficient?"

Kamikawa Suku repeated the word.

"Yes."

Kita Ikuyo took a sip of coffee and slowly began to speak.

"Kamikawa-senpai, you know I'm still learning guitar from Goto-san."

“Even though I’ve been studying for quite some time, my current level is still far from being able to perform live on stage.”

"And the rest of the band has already prepared to go on stage live."

"In other words, I'm the only one holding the band back."

"Under these circumstances, I naturally have to practice hard."

"Because the environment at home is not suitable for practicing singing and playing guitar, I came to karaoke to practice."

"Is that all?"

After listening to it, Kamikawa Suzu subconsciously expressed his feelings.

Isn’t this reason a bit too common?

"What do you mean just like that?" Kita Ikuyo was very confused.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to say the wrong thing." Kamikawa hastily apologized for his rudeness. "I thought you had a more serious reason for wanting to practice so badly."

"Senior Kamikawa, what kind of person am I in your eyes?" Kita Ikuyo complained.

"It's mainly because you've been hiding it from me, which made me think that way."

Kamikawa Su looked extremely embarrassed.

It’s all Takamatsu Touma and Shiina Tatsuki’s fault.

The reasons why both of them couldn't write lyrics and wanted to give up composing were heavier than the other.

This made him habitually think of it as heavy when he saw Kita Ikuyo doing extra practice.

So much so that the simplest reason is ignored.

Because of lack of ability, we need to practice.

This should be the first reason that comes to mind, not any other unnecessary reasons.

It's all because of these two guys. They made me become like this.

It's so nasty!

"That's because I'm shy!"

Kita Ikuyo complained to him about her dissatisfaction.

"I went to karaoke to practice alone, but I didn't tell anyone, including the band members Ijichi and the others."

"When my friends invited me to hang out, I always found excuses to decline. I even rarely updated my Instagram and Twitter."

"And, in this situation, you suddenly asked me why I came to karaoke to practice alone, Kamikawa-senpai. How could I just say that casually?"

"I'm sorry. I'm really sorry."

Thinking about how he had just asked her to tell him about the matter, Shangchuan Su quickly apologized to her.

It’s all Takamatsu Touma and Shiina Tatsuki’s fault!

It's all their fault. They made me forget this most basic common sense.

She didn't even realize she was shy!

"It's okay, it's not a big deal anyway."

Kita Ikuyo waved her hand and forgave him easily.

"By the way, since you feel shy, why do you tell me all this?" Kamikawa Su was still a little concerned.

"Yes, I felt shy, but it wasn't excessive. I could only answer."

Kita Ikuyo abided by the conditions very well.

"That's it."

Shangchuan Su looked out the window guiltily.

Because when she made that request just now, she thought that if she chose to refuse, she would want to find other ways to investigate.

By the way, when did I become like this?

Aren’t you a galgame expert?

Why do people make mistakes when faced with such a simple matter?

As expected, it’s all Takamatsu Touma and Shiina Tatsuki’s fault!

Anyway, no matter how many mistakes there are, they are all their fault.

It has nothing to do with him being a galgame master.

"But thank you, Kamikawa-senpai."

At this time, Kita Ikuyo's voice suddenly rang out.

"Thank me? Why? I didn't do anything?"

Kamikawa Su came back to his senses and asked in confusion.

"After all, Kamikawa-senpai wanted to know why I went to karaoke to practice alone. He must be worried about me." Kita Ikuyo smiled gently, "I can still see that."

"..."

Shangchuan Su continued to look out the window with an evasive look and did not respond to her.

Chapter 232: Kita Ikuyo with a Weak Will

"I'm sorry, I can't help you with practice. I can't sing or play guitar."

After a while, Kamikawa Suku felt that the atmosphere could not continue to be so awkward, so he withdrew his gaze from the window and took the initiative to change the subject.

If the problems faced by Kita Ikuyo are similar to those faced by Takamatsu Touma and Shiina Riki, and they are both psychological problems, then he can still find a way to help solve them.

But he had no idea how to solve this kind of problem which required more practice.

There was no way, singing and guitar were not his forte, which meant he couldn't teach Kita Ikuyo.

Even if he starts learning now, it is almost impossible to achieve quick success without learning cards.

Therefore, trying to gain favor through teaching will not work.

It's really a pity.

However, given the relationship between the two of them, there will be plenty of opportunities to improve their favorability in the future.

"It's okay. I never asked Kamikawa-senpai to teach me."

Kita Ikuyo looked at Kamikawa Susumu who was sitting opposite her and said nonchalantly.

To be honest, when she told him why she went to karaoke alone, she was a little looking forward to the development that Kamikawa Supo proposed to teach her.

Of course, there was no special reason for her to have such expectations.

It's definitely not that I hope to have more contact with him or anything like that.

I simply feel that if someone teaches me, I will progress faster.

Before deciding to practice alone, she thought about finding someone else to teach her.

But no matter who I find, I am not suitable.

After all, the purpose of her practice was to not hold the band back. If she asked other members of the band to help her, wouldn't that be putting the cart before the horse?

Among my friends, not many can play guitar and sing.

It would not be appropriate to ask Chihaya Aine for help, after all, she has her own things to do and also has to participate in band practice.

So she chose someone to practice on.

So now, she just expected Kamikawa Supo to teach her, but she didn't really want him to teach her.

"Ah."

Kamikawa Suku didn't want to dwell on this matter anymore and didn't know what to say.

Just when he was thinking about what to talk about next, Kita Ikuyo continued, "Speaking of which, Kamikawa-senpai, you probably haven't forgotten that we agreed to go to a couple's restaurant together."

"I haven't forgotten."

Kamikawa Su was silent for a moment, but finally admitted it.

He would not easily forget such an important matter.

"That's good. Our appointment is next Saturday," Kita Ikuyo reminded.

"You remember it so clearly."

Kamikawa Suku took a sip of coffee and tried his best to appear casual.

He naturally remembered the couple's restaurant appointment he had made a month ago, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

After all, they are not a couple. What is the difference between eating in a couple's restaurant and eating in an ordinary restaurant?

It's just a change of dining venue.

But why did Kita Ikuyo talk about this a week in advance?
