Yuki Suho scolded her brother while secretly laughing. She followed Lin You's gaze and observed this rare rivalry that seemed like a realistic animation.

"... Seriously, where on earth is that obedient and good girl Niina just now?"

Taoxiang held her forehead with her hand, walked to the open kitchen, and started brewing instant coffee.

Niina pursed her lips and retorted sullenly, "I'm not a good kid. I dropped out of school... just as I was about to enter my third year of high school."

"Hey hey~~...Do you want sugar in your coffee?"

"want."

Hear the words.

Yuki Suho narrowed her eyes, smiled and raised her hand, saying she wanted more sugar, more sugar, and more sugar.

She pulled out a small stool and sat between Momoka and Niina, looking left and right while holding her cheek. She felt that she saw a sense of destiny and combination between them.

A hot-blooded idiot group from a boys' comic?

There are always all kinds of interesting things happening around my brother, so I'll never be bored, Yuki thought to herself.

She shook her head.

Because she had taken off her shoes, her slender white feet in thin boat socks swayed back and forth like a swing. The girl said:

"...No matter how I look at it, if things continue like this, Taoxiang will definitely not return home, right?"

"why?"

Taoxiang asked back as she took a sip of her coffee.

I'm clearly on the verge of collapse, but every day I'm working part-time, trying to make money. I've worked in more places than I do street live, directing traffic, handing out tissues, and so on...

Scratching her head, Taoxiang said this in a self-deprecating and distressed tone.

The experience is almost full.

He doesn't look like a serious musician at all, does he?

Thanks to this, I've probably also been drinking more and more without realizing it. Wait... is this a good thing? Even with all the part-time jobs, my wallet is getting thinner and thinner, and drinking is a huge expense. At this rate, I'm going to have to eat grass to survive next month—no, I think I still have a million yen in my account?

"Well, Lin You, as expected, I am still——"

"—That guitar, is it a jazamaster?"

Lin You suddenly said, pointing to the electric guitar that looked a little lonely in the corner.

Momoka was interrupted and nodded.

"Oh... yes, it's this model. Although it's called the Jazz Master, it's not for playing jazz."

Specifically, they are the Psychederhythm Psychomaster and jazamaster piano models.

This guitar can be described in one word: "cool"; in two words: "unique".

This is also the most important feature of jazamaster.

It is a niche product with a unique shape. It is a perfect match for a vintage tube box and a single block. The strings are not passed through the body, the string inclination is not enough, the tension is not strong, and the body is large. There are many empty areas in the middle circuit area, so the combination creates an extremely special tone.

The sound is crisp, clear and cool, even colder than the tele guitar type, hard and empty.

However, this guitar has many characteristics, or rather shortcomings. The most direct one is that it requires a high level of understanding of tone and tuning ability. It is extremely unfriendly to novices and is not even suitable for forming a band, because it is extremely difficult to tune a JM guitar to a compatible tone.

There are also many minor flaws, such as the unique tremolo system with an awkwardly positioned tremolo handle, which is similar to the structure of the Fender Japan Mustang MG69/MH CAR electric guitar played by Azusa Nakano in "K-ON!". It is easy to accidentally touch it when playing, causing noise...

Final Thoughts

Being handsome is a lifelong thing.

Little insignificant things can be ignored!

Lin You carefully took the guitar that Tao Xiang handed over, put it on his back, and placed it horizontally on his legs. He tried to feel the strings with his fingertips...

It's heavier than expected, and the strings are a little thicker, but still slightly elastic.

"Onii-chan, you know how to play the guitar? Yuki didn't know that..."

"Lin You?"

“Eh…what is this?”

Jing Serina blinked slightly, her expression like she'd seen a game character she'd admired get a new skin. In comparison, Kawahara Ki Momoka seemed a bit more...expert.

Lin You's movements were both clumsy and skillful.

At first, I just touched the strings like a cat plucking them, and I almost forgot to plug it in. But then, it seemed like I was just getting familiar with the guitar and getting the feel back... This is not surprising, after all, JazaMaster is very special...

Taoxiang was just a little curious, what was he going to do?

Lin You showed Yuki himself equipped with his weapon, the guitar, allowing her to see a clear 360-degree panorama. However, there was no room for Yuki to say anything extra.

"Guitar. I just learned it."

Zheng~~!

Like the opening move of a percussion instrument, Lin You swung his fingers and hit the strings, producing a clear starting note.

Pure fingerstyle?

Taoxiang's eyes moved slightly, a little surprised.

The smooth and transparent guitar string sound came after that like a clear spring!

The piano sounds merged into one, dyeing the air in the deep night with color.

A strong sense of purity and picture.

Tao Xiang: "!"

I felt a strange sense of déjà vu, strolling under a blue sky, playing the guitar. It was already late at night, but the guitar still produced an exceptionally clean sound, a touch of freshness. Blue sky, white clouds, summer, afternoon, a sleepy old dog on the street in Asahikawa, unknown wildflowers along the roadside in Kawasaki—everything seemed stained with a pale yellow filter, gentle and hazy, yet with a touch of sadness…

baffling.

It also makes the listeners feel touched.

Momoka: Oh my god, this is exactly me playing it!

Lin You continued to play, his music was full of flowers on the strings, with amazing skills, precise and fast, but it was suddenly interrupted by a sharp note.

"Eh?"

Just when Momoka was listening intently and her mind was in chaos, when Nina was confused and seemed to be aware of something, and when Yuki looked proud.

Lin You rubbed his fingertips slightly and nodded, as if he had found the right feel, and waved again.

He spoke.

This time.

It's a guitar melody, its lyrics brimming with narrative, like a novel. The melody is gentle, yet it directly captures a certain inexplicable connection with someone else. Everything hits her like a massive hammer, deafening.

Kawahara Momoka felt goosebumps all over her body.

"It's all meaningless to think about it. I can only wait for you under the blue sky..."

"A gentle breeze blows through the midday, carrying my thoughts towards the afternoon. Now, what should I do from now on?"

“No one told me how to move forward—”

"..."

Volume 1: Chapter 33 This Is Rock!

Late at night.

There is no moon in Kawasaki tonight, and stars are faintly lit in the dim night.

Perhaps there was an evening breeze blowing across the balcony, the air in the room was floating, and even the light was shaking.

Momoka Kawahara pinched the soft flesh of her right arm with her left hand.

She felt the goosebumps subside a little, but—

"I hate those who look so happy."

"How can I erase this thought from the depths of my mind that can never be filled—"

“————He has a monstrous sense of inferiority!!!”

The brisk, freehand, world-weary lyrics transform into a hearty, uplifting feeling, resonating with the bursting guitar strings. And it builds momentum all the way, venting out, sending this soothing and joyful ballad to a shocking climax!

Taoxiang opened her mouth but remained speechless.

It was like an electric current surged through my body, and an inexplicable emotion gradually rose in my heart.

She felt a mixture of joy and satisfaction, yet also unhappiness, as she was still entangled with many inexplicable thoughts and quietly emerging past events.

Gradually, Taoxiang moved her palm to her chest and took a deep breath.

"……call."

See this.

Zhou Fangyouxi didn't know how serious he was.

The girl thought: "As expected of a brother, he even sings to win over female characters!"

"This song is amazing too. Of all the songs he's released under the copyright of 'Hatsune Miku,' there are many hits that are both popular and high-quality, but none of them seem to compare to this one... Because, is this hyung singing himself?"

"It seems that there is no one with particularly good singing skills in Berry Pro."

"Ai's singing ability isn't outstanding; the live stage is her real domain..."

Think of this.

Yuki nodded to himself.

Beside her, Jing Qinrencai was listening intently, simply thinking it was amazing.

The girl sat with her head tilted back, her delicate legs folded together in black pantyhose, framing her petite 152cm frame. Her face was sweet, her eyes wide open, revealing an innocent air. She felt a faint resonance in the song, something resonating with her own...

Zheng!

The song came to an abrupt end here.

...Why did you suddenly stop singing?

Kawahara Momoka suddenly came back to her senses and looked over with wide eyes.

This guy, who hadn't shown off his singing skills at the KTV just now, has now become a huge hit. It turns out he's not just good-looking...

"What's the name of this song?"

Taoxiang swallowed for no apparent reason, feeling a sudden sense of unease. Her cheeks felt a bit warm, probably from the sweat dripping down, making her feel irritated...

Lin You replied: ""だからPUは音楽を词めた(So I gave up music)"."

Tao Xiang: "!"

what?

So I gave up music?

This kind of name...

Did you choose this name on purpose? Yuki said it was your original song, so it seems like it was just improvised on the spot!

And what does that sentence just now, "…あんたのせいだ (It's all your fault)" mean? It's such a refreshing feeling to hear.

Maybe I'm just too self-conscious...

No way?

Uh, that shouldn’t be the case, right?

"Why choose such a name..."

Momoka pursed her lips and asked, trying to look nonchalant, twirling her fingers around a strand of hair by her ear.

Lin You stroked the body of the piano and thought about it.
