I just want a single ending

Page 37

Shiina Riki looked at Goto Ichiri, who was carrying a guitar bag, and asked, "Is she the guitarist you were talking about?"

Chapter 45: A hero cannot flee from the battlefield

"Eh?"

Goto Ichiri, who was suddenly called out, subconsciously hid behind Kamikawa Susumu to avoid the sight of others.

"Yes, she's the guitarist of the band The End, Ichiri Goto."

Shangchuan Su took two steps to the side, making way for her to appear in front of everyone.

"Ah, hello there."

After realizing that he couldn't escape, Goto Ichiri reluctantly raised his right hand and waved, trying hard to greet them.

Then, Kamikawa Suzu continued to introduce: "This is Ichichi Hongka, the drummer of the end band."

"This is the first time we meet, so please take good care of me."

Compared to Goto Ichiri's pitiful appearance, Ijichi Nichina can be said to be quite enthusiastic, and her smile is also very kind.

After introducing the two of them, Kamikawa Suzu introduced Takamatsu Teru, Shiina Tatsuki, Nagasaki Motoyo, and Kaname Rakuna, who came over and started eating the matcha parfait after playing the guitar.

"Hello."

They also responded.

"Pochi-chan, go over there and play the guitar, and we'll watch over here."

Pointing to the stage where Kaname Rakuna had just played the guitar, Kamikawa Suzu introduced it to Goto Ichiri.

Looking in the direction he pointed, Goto Ichiri swallowed.

You know, before this, she had never been to a fashionable place like a cafe.

Moreover, it was my first time here, and playing guitar in this place was really beyond my ability.

As expected, Kamikawa Su was right. It’s better to take it slow.

"Are you scared?"

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Shangchuan Su probably understood what she was thinking.

"……Um."

Goto Ichiri, who was hit by what he said, admitted it in a low voice.

I shouldn’t have said such big words yesterday!

This was the umpteenth time she had hated her past self.

Shangchuan Su gently patted her shoulder and comforted her: "In that case, let's change places."

"Is it really possible?"

Goto Ichiri suddenly raised his head, as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw, his eyes full of brilliance.

"It really can."

There was no need for Kamikawa Suku to lie about such things.

Just as Goto Ichiri was about to agree, he suddenly thought of something and turned to look at the other members of his band.

Then, I found that Ijichi Hongxia had already integrated into the group and was happily chatting with them.

After hesitating for a while, she finally asked, "What are they going to do?"

Kamikawa explained, "Don't worry about that. We've reserved the practice room here and are going to rehearse soon. We're just checking in on your guitar skills."

"...You made an appointment with this cafe to let me play guitar here, right?"

Goto Ichiri glanced around the cafe and asked.

"What will happen if I give up?"

"I'll take care of it. It's not a big deal anyway. Just let the cafe know." Kamikawa Sukui said soothingly with a smile, not wanting her to feel any burden about it. "That stage isn't usually used. It's only used once in a while, so even if it's canceled, it won't be a problem."

"..."

Goto Ichiri lowered his head again.

Although he said it easily, each one of them was not simple.

First, he had to apologize to his friends in the band, then apologize to the cafe, explain the situation, and finally find a place suitable for his performance.

All this was just because of what she said yesterday in a fit of rage.

Choosing to escape now is your own awakening?

Would doing so really be worthy of the efforts Kamikawa Suku has made for himself?

I, Goto Ichiri, am a guitar hero!

A hero cannot escape from the battlefield!

So, Goto Ichiri plucked up the courage to look up and look at Kamikawa Suke.

She saw his smile again, exactly the same as yesterday, a smile that made her feel at ease.

This time the feeling is not wrong.

“I want to play!”

"There's no need to force yourself. Even changing places won't take much time."

Kamikawa Su found that her condition had become very strange, as if it was almost the same as yesterday.

"No, right here."

Goto Ichiri didn't want him to apologize to others because of himself.

"Okay, I'll go tell the people at the cafe. You go get ready over at the stage."

Seeing her firm attitude, Shangchuan Su did not force her anymore.

"it is good."

Ichiri Goto walked to the front of the stage, took out his guitar from his guitar bag, and started connecting it to the speakers.

Kamikawa Su went to greet the cafe staff.

At the same time, Chihaya Aine, who was chatting with Ijichi Nijinka and the others, was paying attention to Kamikawa Suzu and Goto Ichiri who were whispering something.

Seeing that the two of them finally separated, she breathed a sigh of relief.

I don’t know why, but Chihaya Aine always feels uncomfortable every time she sees him chatting with other girls.

Even though we know that it is just normal communication, we still can't help but pay attention to it.

Especially Goto Ichiri.

She always felt that she had too many similarities with Goto Ichiri.

For example, they both have long pink hair, both play guitar in the band, but neither is the lead singer.

In terms of body shape...it should be about the same.

Thinking of Goto Ichiri's ordinary appearance in sportswear, Chihaya Aine made a confident judgment.

It's like another self in the world.

While she was daydreaming, Kamikawa Saku greeted the staff, gave Goto Ichiri a few more instructions, and then walked over here.

"Is she ready?"

Shiina Riki looked at Goto Ichiri who was already ready to play the guitar, and asked Kamikawa Susumu who had just sat down.

"Ah."

"Is her guitar playing really at a professional level?" Shiina Riki was trying to confirm.

When inviting them to come as an audience, Kamikawa Supo used the excuse that Goto Ichiri's guitar skills were professional level, but he couldn't perform well and needed help.

"Yes, provided she can give full play to her abilities."

On the way back on the train with Ijichi Kouka, Kamikawa Su specifically asked her about her evaluation.

Basically, Goto Ichiri in his full state is a professional guitarist.

It was just like yesterday afternoon.

Goto Ichiri, who is afraid of performing in front of an audience, performs only at an amateur level.

Whether she can perform well or not depends entirely on herself.

"It's good to have it."

Shiina Riki didn't say anything else and waited patiently.

As long as her level is high enough, all the waiting will be worth it.

At this time, Goto Ichiri, who was standing in the center of the stage, made up her mind and began her performance.

It was just the beginning. Rana Kaname, who was originally concentrating on eating the matcha parfait, looked up at the stage.

Chapter 46 I must have misunderstood

Soon, the song ended.

"How about it?"

Kamikawa Su asked about other people's comments.

Kaname tilted her head: "Interesting."

"It sounds good."

Takamatsu Deng gave a very simple evaluation.

Nagasaki Suyo thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "It does sound good, but it doesn't sound like the work of a professional guitarist."

"It's pretty good among amateur guitarists, but it feels a little short of professional level."

At this point, Shiina Riki admitted that Kamikawa Su was right.

Goto Ichiri's guitar skills do have the potential to be professional level.

"That's what I thought."

Simply translated, it means the great perfection of amateur realm, half a step to professional realm.

"When Ichiri was playing the guitar just now, he didn't raise his head at all. Is it because he's not used to it?" Chihaya Aine told her what she discovered.

Ijichi Hongxia added, "It seems he didn't open his eyes either."

"I see. I'll go over and ask."

Kamikawa Suku also noticed this.

After saying that, he stood up and walked towards the stage.

"call……"

Goto Ichiri, who had just finished playing the guitar, was just about to secretly open his eyes to see other people's reactions.

Then he saw that Kamikawa Suku had walked in front of him.

"Eh?"

"It's very good, everyone says so."

After seeing her surprised reaction, Kamikawa Su took the initiative to say words that could reassure her.

"That's great."

Goto Ichiri was just worried that he didn't play the piano well and would be kicked out by the customers in the cafe.
