I just want a single ending

She thought that as long as she lowered her head, no one would notice that she didn't open her eyes.

Although she was able to play the guitar in front of so many people, her body's instinctive reaction to other people's gazes still made her close her eyes.

"Can you tell me the reason?" Kamikawa Suku asked tentatively, "You can't keep your eyes closed during a live performance."

"Because I'm afraid."

Goto Ichiri whispered.

There are not only a few of them in the cafe now, there are other customers and waiters.

The sight of those people frightened her.

【How about opening your eyes and looking at me alone? 】

How about opening your eyes and looking at us?

'One person and several people should be the difference between the love line and the single line.'

Kamikawa Suku easily made the judgment and responded decisively: "In that case, how about just looking at us while you play the guitar?"

【Physical Strength +5】

"Looking at you?"

Goto Ichiri repeated it dully.

"Yes, we will all cheer for you." Kamikawa Su emphasized the word "we".

"let me try."

Goto Ichiri pursed his lips and finally decided to give it a try.

After all, as he said, you can't keep your eyes closed during a live performance.

"come on."

Seeing that she agreed, Shangchuan Su encouraged him and turned to leave.

Goto Ichiri just looked at his back until he sat down in his seat.

Looking at the other girls sitting next to him, Goto Ichiri shook his head vigorously.

No, I still can’t do it.

Apart from Kamikawa Susumu, she only recognized Ijichi Nikka and Chihaya Aine.

I just got to know the names of the other girls and I’m not familiar with them at all, just like strangers.

How could she keep an eye on them?

However, if you only look at Kamikawa Suzu, it can still be done.

Thinking of his tenderness towards her and the efforts he had made, Goto Ichiri tightened his grip on the guitar.

Well then, I’ll just pretend that no one else exists and play it just for you!

···

"What happened to your hand?"

Chihaya Aine, who didn't have any random thoughts, easily noticed the Band-Aids on his ten fingers.

So, after he sat down again, he asked about this matter.

As she said this, others also noticed the abnormality of his fingers.

"Nothing, just..."

Kamikawa Susumu repeated what he had explained to Ijichi Kouka.

"Even if you're in great shape, you can't do that. It's just learning bass, is there any need to work so hard?" Chihaya Aine felt sorry for him. "It's not like we don't have a bassist in our band."

Because she knew that he learned to play the bass for her.

So she was partly responsible for the scarred state he was in now.

"Kamikawa-kun, are you still learning bass?"

Since Chihaya Aine and Kamikawa Suzu had talked about this in front of her that day, Nagasaki Suzu knew that he had planned to learn bass in order to form a band.

She originally thought that after the band was formed, this idea of ​​his had disappeared.

Unexpectedly, not only did he not give up, but he studied very hard.

"Yes, because I'm interested in bass."

In order to learn the bass, he paid for a [learning card] and studied seriously for three hours!

This is enough to prove how much he loves bass.

"That's it."

Nagasaki Suyo rubbed her fingers, not knowing what she was thinking.

Before she could say anything else, the sound of a guitar suddenly came.

It was Goto Ichiri who started playing again.

The only difference from before was that Goto Ichiri opened his eyes and stared at them intently.

"What song is...?"

Ijichi Hongxia frowned, unable to remember the name for a moment.

She only remembered that this song was a love song, the kind used to express love.

Of course, it can also be used to express gratitude, but not many people use it that way.

"It doesn't matter. It sounds good."

Kamikawa Suzu had never heard of this song.

Before he learned to play the bass, he had no appreciation for music at all.

Therefore, things like listening to music are rarely done.

After learning to play the bass, his ability to appreciate music improved.

But a three-hour bass lesson wouldn't have added much to the number of songs he'd listened to.

In other words, the ability is there, but the foundation is not up to par.

"makes sense."

Ijichi Hongxia couldn't remember the name, nor did she care too much.

Anyway, the purpose of today is to let Goto Ichiri overcome the shortcoming of not being able to play in front of an audience, so it doesn't matter what he plays.

As long as it pops out.

"By the way, is Goto Ichiri only looking at me?"

Originally, Kamikawa Suku was still admiring Goto Ichiri's guitar skills, but the look she gave him was so intense that he couldn't ignore it, which led to such suspicion.

But when I think about the options I chose and the words I said.

Shangchuansuo felt much more at ease.

I must have misunderstood.

Chapter 47 Can we practice a different song?

"As expected of a professional guitarist."

After the song ended, Shiina Riki exclaimed like this.

The technique is extremely skillful and full of emotion.

Chihaya Aine moved closer to Kamikawa Supe and asked quietly, "Is it really okay to ask her to teach me guitar?"

Isn't it a bit of a waste of talent to let a professional guitarist teach me?

She was a little worried about this issue.

"It's okay. I've already told you, Pochi-chan and I are friends." Kamikawa Suku lowered his voice as well. "And I'm helping her get used to performing in front of an audience, so we can kind of keep in touch and help each other out."

"……I see."

Chihaya Aine nodded slightly, understanding what he meant.

Although his help to Goto Ichiri may not be entirely for himself, it was partly because he wanted to thank her for being willing to teach him guitar.

Thinking of this, the slight resentment he had when he saw him talking intimately with Goto Ichiri disappeared.

She wasn't angry with him for such a thing.

After a brief chat, Kamikawa Su went to see Goto Ichiri again.

"That's great. I think you're a little used to performing in front of an audience now, right?"

"Maybe?"

Seeing him coming, Goto Ichiri quickly lowered his head.

She had been looking at him while she played, and she really wasn't sure if that counted as getting used to performing in front of an audience.

Kamikawa Suku explained in advance: "By the way, I have to go to the practice room with our band later, so I can't stay here with you all the time. You have to work hard at that time too."

"Eh?"

Goto Ichiri suddenly began to panic.

If he wasn't here, who would she watch while she played guitar?

"Don't worry, Hongxia will be here with you, and I will be back soon."

As the band manager, even if he is not there, the other members of the band can still rehearse.

But since we're already here, it would be a bit irresponsible if we don't even go over.

"I-I know."

Goto Ichiri couldn't say anything about this.

You can't just tell him that I can only play it because I'm watching you, right?

That's simply impossible!

"come on!"

After encouraging her again, Shangchuan Su returned to their side.

Finding that he had not left yet, Goto Ichiri felt relieved and continued to watch him play.

'Why do I still feel like she's looking at me?'

Kamikawa Suku, who had just sat down, realized this problem again.

But I didn't take it too seriously, thinking it was just an illusion.

It is normal for everyone sitting here to think that when she looks at others, she is looking at them.

Isn't that kind of misunderstanding common?

You are self-indulgent and think that others are looking at you, but in fact they are looking at what is behind you.

He would not make that mistake.

···

After listening to Goto Ichiri play a few more songs, Kamikawa Su took out his phone to check the time and reminded the rest of the band, "It's time for our scheduled performance."

"In that case, let's go first."

Nagasaki Suyo stood up and apologized to Ijichi Hongka.

"Your band practice is still the most important."

Ichichi Hongxia naturally wouldn't mind such things.
