I just want a single ending

"Since I've said I'll be responsible, you definitely don't need to pay." Kamikawa Suku is not short of this money.

"How can this be possible? Asking you to pay for guitar lessons is weird just thinking about it."

Chihaya Aine couldn't accept it.

The relationship between the two of them now can only be considered as good friends. Even if they want to take responsibility, there is no need to go to this extent.

Unless the relationship goes further.

So now he can help introduce me to a good guitar teacher.

"...How about this, I find a free guitar teacher to teach you?"

Seeing her firm attitude, Shangchuan Su suddenly had another idea.

"Is there a free guitar teacher?" Chihaya Aine was stunned.

"Goto Ichiri, the guitarist of the band, is currently teaching Kita how to play guitar." Kamikawa Su explained with a smile, "She and I are friends. If I just ask her a favor, Pochi-chan will definitely agree."

This is a lie.

That being said, his relationship with Goto Ichiri was far from that good.

What's more, he couldn't do something that would cause trouble to others.

She would agree to the so-called request, which meant he planned to secretly pay her to teach Chihaya Aine.

As long as I ask her to keep the fact that she took my money a secret and not be discovered, on the surface it will be just mutual help between friends.

"Is it really possible? Will it be too much trouble for her?"

Although Chihaya Aine was very moved, she still had many concerns.

"Of course you can. It's the same whether you teach alone or with two people," Kamikawa Sukui said, seemingly trying to comfort him. "Besides, you have some guitar skills. It's not like you're starting from scratch. How much trouble can that cause you?"

"I'll have to thank classmate Xiali properly when the time comes."

After careful consideration, Chihaya Aine accepted the proposal.

"Ah."

After agreeing on this, Kamikawa Su took her to the station.

Chihaya Aine strongly refused to send her home, saying that she didn't want to cause her too much trouble.

He couldn't argue.

······

After returning home, Kamikawa Saku sent a message to Goto Ichiri.

[Pochi-chan, are you free tomorrow at noon? ]

【I have something important to tell you in person. 】

Things like this have to be discussed face to face.

···

"A message from Kamikawa..."

Goto Ichiri, who was practicing guitar in the closet, paused when she saw the message pop-up on the phone next to her.

Come to think of it, ever since they added each other as Line friends, they have never chatted.

This is normal. How could a handsome guy like Kamikawa Supo want to chat with a gloomy girl like me?

As for taking the initiative to chat with him?

Absolutely impossible!

If she could do that, she wouldn't be like this now.

Putting the guitar aside, Goto Ichiri picked up his phone and started reading the messages in the notification window.

This way it won't show as read, and you'll have plenty of time to think about how to answer.

"You want to meet me... and it's something very important..."

In just a moment, the possibility that Kamikawa Supo was going to confess to her automatically emerged in her mind.

However, she took the initiative to dispel it in the next moment.

The probability of the world ending tomorrow is greater than the probability of him wanting to confess his feelings.

I wouldn't even dare to dream of this.

If it's just a matter of meeting, I can still do it.

And there was no way to refuse.

Cautiously clicking into the chat interface, and seeing his message become read, Goto Ichiri hurriedly started typing.

【it is good. 】

I have tried my best to reply today, so I will leave the meeting to tomorrow's self.

Kamikawa Suku: [Should I go directly to your class to find you? Or do you choose a place?]

Don't come to my class!

Almost instantly, Goto Ichiri made his choice.

Kamikawa Supo was voted the most handsome guy in the grade by the girls in his class. If they knew that he came to the class to find them.

Then I will definitely become the target of public criticism.

Kamikawa Suku: [Then choose a place. I'll come find you at noon.]

"I'll choose the place..."

Looking at this message, Goto Ichiri was in a dilemma.

······

The next day, noon.

"The place you chose is very unique, Pochi-chan."

Arriving at the stairwell on the first floor, Kamikawa Supo exclaimed at Goto Ichiri, who had arrived early and seemed quite familiar with the place.

It was just as I guessed, a dark corner where no one came.

Goto Ichiri turned his head away and scratched his cheek sheepishly: "Not really, it's just that I come here often."

At first, she wanted to choose a more decent place like a rooftop or a library to meet.

Just thinking about the possibility of being seen by others if we meet in places like rooftops and libraries.

Then, the news of her meeting with the most handsome guy in the grade spread...

For the sake of his own life, Goto Ichiri finally chose the stairwell he was familiar with.

Shangchuan Su said straight to the point: "I won't waste any more time on nonsense. The reason I want to meet you is because I have a favor to ask of you."

"Can you ask me for anything?"

Goto Ichiri couldn't believe it.

How can a gloomy girl like me help him?

"I'd like you to teach Ai-on guitar, is that okay?" Kamikawa nodded. "I know this request might be a little awkward, so I'll pay you well."

"How about 10,000 yen an hour?"

"Eh?"

Goto Ichiri felt that his brain was not enough.

Chapter 32 I hope you can keep it a secret

"If the price isn't enough, I can add more."

Seeing that she was standing there in a daze and was reluctant to agree, Shangchuan Su added an extra sentence.

Goto Ichiri came to his senses and waved his hands hastily: "No, no, no, it's not about the price!"

For her, 10,000 yen an hour is simply unthinkable.

As long as I agree and teach long enough, I will definitely be able to make a lot of money.

Then, you can buy a lot of things you want.

"What's the problem?"

"I want to ask, why did Chihaya suddenly want to learn guitar from me?"

Goto Ichiri really couldn't understand this.

Could it be that she is like Kita, joining a band but actually can't play the guitar?

"Because Aiyin was in junior high school when she played in a band before, she hasn't played guitar in a while, so her hands are a bit rusty." Kamikawa Supo tried his best to speak up for her. "This caused some issues with our band rehearsals, so in order to better cooperate with the band, she wanted to improve her guitar skills."

"I see."

Goto Ichiri easily accepted this explanation which sounded very reasonable.

Kamikawa Su asked expectantly, "So, can I ask you for a favor?"

"……Can."

Faced with his request, Goto Ichiri had no way of refusing.

For her, who suffers from social anxiety, even refusing others is a very difficult thing.

Especially since the other party was the most handsome guy in the grade who exuded a super fashionable aura. The oppressive aura alone was enough to make her breathless, let alone the courage to refuse.

In addition, there is a generous salary of 10,000 yen per hour.

If you agree to it, you won’t lose out no matter how you think about it.

wrong!

Goto Ichiri suddenly realized something and stammered, "Well, forget about the compensation. Ten thousand yen an hour is too much."

"why?"

Kamikawa Suku didn't quite understand.

"We're friends, aren't we? I'm just helping Chihaya-san learn guitar. You don't need to pay me."

Although she had never made many friends before, she had some understanding of the concept of friends through comics and the Internet.

So-called friends should be people who will come to help you without any hesitation when you ask them about your problems, right?

Therefore, she also wants to be that kind of person!

"I want to pay because we are friends." Shangchuan Su shook his head.

"Eh?"

Goto Ichiri, who had just made a bold statement in his heart, instantly returned to reality.

"What do you mean?"

This kind of thing was a bit beyond her scope for someone she had just made friends with.

"It's not wrong to say you don't need to pay because we're friends. After all, friends are supposed to help each other," Kamikawa replied with a smile, "but I think you need money right now."

"I need money?"

Goto Ichiri was stunned.

I need money, how come I don't know?

"Maybe you're still teaching Xiduo guitar, so Hongxia hasn't told you yet that playing in a band is actually very expensive."

Having been to Kamikawasuku many times, I know the situation there very well.

"what happened?"

This kind of thing once again touched Goto Ichiri's blind spot.
