Living in the bubble economy of Tokyo, I became a literary giant through lotteries.

Naoki Matsumoto's back stiffened abruptly, and he almost dropped his guitar when he turned around.

"Mr. Sekiya! Oh no, Professor Sekiya!" Naoki Matsumoto exclaimed excitedly. "You've come! After your performance here last time, some passersby saw you on TV and told us that Professor Sekiya was on TV!"

"Your fans are coming to our store more and more often, and business has really improved a lot! Everyone's asking if you'll come again..."

He spoke very quickly, as if he had been holding it in for a long time. After he finished speaking, he took a deep breath and his expression switched back to a professional smile.

"What would you like to order today?" Naoki Matsumoto suppressed his urge to get an autograph and introduced Sekiya Kaze first.

"I need one of the pianos I played the other day." Guan Gufeng looked around. "I'll look around myself and call you if I need anything later."

"Okay! Just call me anytime if you need anything."

Naoki Matsumoto went to the counter to write up an order for a piano.

Guan Gufeng wandered around, a thought suddenly occurring to him.

[Using five draw attempts for an environment draw, scanning in progress...]

Two items have been detected that can be equipped. Please follow the instructions to proceed.

"Two items... three fewer than a single pull." Guan Gufeng thought to himself, "It's alright, I was prepared to get nothing anyway."

Following the directions, Guan Gufeng found two items.

[Equipable item detected: Standard bass]

"Matsumoto." Sekiya Kaze raised his voice slightly.

Naoki Matsumoto popped his head out from behind the counter in an instant and jogged over: "Sekiya-sensei, please speak!"

"Could you please register this bass and that drum set over there for me as well?" Guan Gufeng held the bass horizontally so Matsumoto Naoki could write down the model number. "And then, could you please get a Yamaha L-5 guitar?"

"L-5 all single-ply? That's not cheap..." Naoki Matsumoto paused, then smiled, "Yes, you don't need to skimp on it."

A moment later, Naoki Matsumoto returned quickly, holding the completed order.

1.4 million yen, with free delivery to the door.

Guan Gufeng took out his checkbook, and when Matsumoto Naoki took the check, he finally couldn't help but show a hesitant expression.

Finally, he took out a copy of Sword Art Online Volume 2 from behind the counter.

"Mr. Guan Gu... could you please sign this for me? I managed to snag it first thing this morning."

Guan Gufeng took the book and signed "Guan Gu's Miracle" on the title page.

When he returned the book, Naoki Matsumoto took it with both hands, looked down at it for a few seconds, seemed to want to say something, but in the end he only said, "Thank you for your patronage."

Guan Gufeng opened the door, and the wind chimes rang overhead again.

He remembered something, turned around and said, "Matsumoto."

"exist!"

"I'll come back again. I need to buy some musical instruments."

Once the music is arranged, the system will "destroy the evidence" of the items, and he will definitely come back to buy more instruments.

"Really!"

"Um."

Guan Gufeng arrived at the apartment with the truck carrying musical instruments. Several instrument movers arranged the various instruments in a room according to Guan Gufeng's request.

Piano, electric guitar, guitar, bass, drum kit.

The room was a rehearsal room that had already been renovated and had all the basic equipment.

That evening, Guan Gufeng called Puchi Sachiko.

"Sachiko, are you free?"

"I'm free," Sachiko Kamachi's voice came through the phone. "But let me make this clear first, don't try to fool me with excuses like 'Shiro can do backflips too.' I've already seen through it."

"That cat really can do backflips," Guan Gufeng said seriously.

"You tricked Xiaohua with meat. I've only ever seen Xiaobai sleeping in its cat bed."

"That's because it conserves its energy during the day."

"Guan Gu-kun, when you said that last time, we watched it for two hours and it didn't move an inch."

"Alright, let's get down to business this time." Guan Gufeng cleared his throat. "Do you remember what I talked to you about last time you came?"

"What important matter?" Sachiko Kamachi asked with a hint of suspicion.

"Do you remember when I said that my manga was getting an anime adaptation and I wanted you to sing the ending theme song for me?"

"Yes, could it be... your manga has been adapted into an anime!"

"No, not at all." Guan Gufeng said somewhat awkwardly, "I told you before that I wanted to get a rehearsal room, and it's already done."

"Although it's not going to be animated yet, I already have an idea for the music arrangement. Could you come and help me out?"

"Pfft." Sachiko Kamachi chuckled and said, "Alright, then I want your Chinese food and dessert, double the amount."

"Okay~"

7:00 AM, Roppongi.

When the doorbell rang, Guan Gufeng was frying eggs in the kitchen.

"The door isn't locked, just come in."

The door opened, and Sachiko Kamachi stood in the entryway, carrying a guitar case on her back.

She wore a light gray sweatshirt and her hair was tied in a higher ponytail than usual.

He was wearing a pair of plush slippers with cat ears, which were said to have been given to him as a free gift when Guan Gu Feng bought cat food at a pet store.

"It smells so good." She sniffed, leaning the violin case against the sofa. "Buttered eggs?"

"Yes, the bread is baking. Please have a seat."

Hana jumped down from the cat tree, walked to Sachiko's feet, and wrapped her tail around her ankle.

Meow~

"Little Flower has gotten fatter again." Sachiko Kamachi squatted down and scratched its chin. "Sekiya-kun, did you secretly give it extra food again?"

"No," Guan Gufeng said, placing the fried eggs on the table. "It went to the kitchen and stole them itself."

After finishing their meal, the two went into the rehearsal room.

The two cats were trying to squeeze through the crack in the door. Xiao Hua's front paws had already reached into the crack, but Guan Gu Feng gently pushed them back with the edge of his slipper.

"Meow!"

"Sweetie, it's too noisy inside, your ears can't stand it."

"Meow!"

Then came the sound of cat paws scratching at the door.

Guan Gufeng sighed, opened the door a crack, and squatted down.

"Add canned food tonight."

"Meow."

"Double."

Meow~

Sachiko Kamachi found a place to sit down, took out her guitar, and rested it on her knees to tune it.

"Guan Gu-kun." She placed her guitar on the shelf beside her, looked up, and asked, "What song should we write?"

Guan Gufeng walked to the piano, picked up a few sheets of paper from the music stand, and handed them to her.

The paper contained the lyrics he printed out yesterday using his newly bought dot matrix printer. The printer's ribbon wasn't working very well yet, so he manually made some corrections.

"I wrote out the lyrics and sheet music last night, take a look."

Sachiko Kamachi took the paper, lowered her head, and focused her gaze on the title.

Don't say "lazy".
