He pushed the door open and Goto Ichiri ran out.

The room was dark and gloomy. Photos of the four band members and Nekoyashiki Haru were plastered all over the walls and ceiling. Goto Ichiri grinned when he saw this.

Heh...hehe...

She laughed, then suddenly realized what she had just realized.

"No, no! Now is not the time to admire the scenery, I need to get dressed quickly..."

Goto Ichiri took out a large pink winter coat from the corner of the room; it was one that her mother used to wear, and put it on.

"it is good…"

Then he took out a second blue winter coat, which his father used to wear, and Goto Ichiri put it on again.

"We need to go up two floors today..."

I took out a mask and put it on, then orange goggles, a pink knitted hat, and then put on the two hoods that came with my winter coat.

"Oh...oh!!! Let's go!!!"

With his body having grown significantly larger, Goto Ichiri walked towards the door, his small hand struggling to grasp the doorknob, and then he pulled it open.

blah-

"Jimmy Heng!"

The pink-haired little girl, Goto Ichiri's younger sister, Goto Jiri, was chasing a dog in the corridor when she heard the door next to her suddenly open. She looked in the direction of the door.

"elder sister…"

It slipped out unconsciously, however…

A massive, bloated body, a mask and goggles completely covering its face, arms hanging limply at its sides, accompanied by heavy breathing (actually hot breathing), the "monster" trembled slightly as it looked down at Goto Jiri.

"what…"

Just as Goto Ichiri was about to speak, he noticed that Goto Jiri suddenly took a step back.

"?!"

As if pierced by a sharp arrow, Goto Ichiri suddenly noticed that Goto Jiri's small mouth was wrinkled.

Wait a minute? This omen?!

"Waaaaaaahh ...

"Wait?! Wait a minute! It's me! I'm not a monster!"

Goto Ichiri tried to reach out to explain, but Goto Jiri was already completely absorbed in the moment.

The piercing cries echoed throughout the house.

...

……

.........

"Ah...it's been so long since I've been back..."

Shinjuku Folt.

Touching the familiar counter, Nekoyashiki Haru, carrying a keyboard bag, sighed.

"It feels like a very long time has passed even though I've only been gone for a few weeks."

"Feeling apprehensive as you get closer to home?"

Hiroi Kikusato

He asked with a smile.

Nekoyashiki Haru shook her head.

"This isn't my home, so why should I feel apprehensive about returning home?"

"Ah~ Xiao Qing, you're back."

From afar, they could see Nekoyashiki Haru and Hiroi Kikuri's man walking over first.

His black hair was tied in a ponytail, and he had dark circles under his green eyes, giving him an unusually fierce look. However, he was approaching with a gentle smile on his face.

Ginjiro Yoshida is the manager of this livehouse.

"I thought you'd abandoned us and never come back."

With a gentle voice, Yoshida Ginjiro placed his hand on Nekoyashiki Haru's shoulder and patted her softly.

"Oh, you're still so thin. You haven't been eating properly. Honestly, you'd be much more attractive if you ate properly."

"...Uh...Manager Yin, it's been a long time."

Nekoyashiki Haru greeted him softly.

"Long time no see! Everyone misses you... especially..."

Yoshida Ginjiro looked at the brown-haired twin-tailed girl staring intently at the table in the distance.

Her pinkish-red eyes were full of desire to come over, but for some reason she didn't come over from her chair, caught in a state of flux between sitting and not sitting.

Yuyuko Otsuki is the guitarist and vocalist of SIDEROS, and also the band leader.

Yoshida Ginjiro sighed as he watched the girl who seemed to want to come over but didn't, then waved his hand.

"Come on, come on, it's been so long since we've seen each other, let's have a good chat."

Yoshida Ginjiro walked to the side, while Otsuki Yuyuko was slightly taken aback.

"... "

Without saying a word, under the watchful eyes of the surrounding band members, Otsuki Yuuko walked towards Nekoyashiki Haru.

"Is that Yuyuko? It's been a long time."

"...Long time no see..."

Yuuko Otsuki awkwardly twirled her hair.

"Why do you still speak so softly? You used to be able to talk to me normally..."

Haru Nekoyashiki is a little depressed.

When I first met Yuyuko Otsuki, she was quite green, but we could at least have a normal conversation, such as pointing out guitars and having a chat.

After spending some time together...

Her voice grew softer and softer until you had to listen carefully to hear it.

"...No...that...I'm...sorry!"

Otsuki Yuyuko suddenly apologized loudly, then turned and ran away.

"...?"

Nekoyashiki Haru tilted her head.

"...Am I being disliked...?"

Nekoyashiki Haru faces Hiroi Kikuri next to her.

"I don't care what you do... give me chocolate... please... hurry up and give it to me."

Hiroi Kikuri shook her head, then tremblingly reached out her hand to Nekoyashiki Haru.

"Give."

Seeing that Hiroi Kikuri is now willing to give up alcohol and eat chocolate instead, Nekoyashiki Haru is quite pleased.

Even her voice softened.

Upon receiving the chocolate, Hiroi Kikuri immediately tore open the wrapper with her teeth and then put it in her mouth, chewing it frantically.

His expression was one of madness.

"Huh...huh..."

Hiroi Kikuri wiped the cold sweat from her forehead.

"Kikuri! You're late! Rehearsals are over!"

A Japanese voice with an accent came out, and Hiroi Kikuri looked tremblingly at the blonde, blue-eyed woman behind her.

"Ah... Eliza, I'm so sorry, I overslept..."

"Hmm... I was originally planning to take Xiao Qing out for some fun, but now I don't have any time at all."

Her full name is Eliza Shimizu. The "Shimizu" part is most likely something she added herself. She lived in the UK until she was 18. Now she is the guitarist for SICKHACK.

"I've told you so many times not to be late..."

The woman with short black hair and red eyes chimed in from the side, then suddenly paused when she looked at Hiroi Kikuri.

"Why do you look like you're half asleep?!"

"NO!!! You can't touch those things!"

Eliza said in a panic.

"Just a chocolate liqueur... Long time no see, Shima."

Nekoyashiki Haru said from the side.

"Long time no see, Qing."

【SICKHACK】 drummer Shima Iwashita nodded to Haru Nekoyashiki.

"Has this guy been staying with you for the past few days?"

"Well, for that reason, I forbade her from drinking alcohol and replaced her with liqueur-filled chocolates."

Haru Nekoyashiki took out another chocolate, and Kikuri Hiroi's eyes widened instantly.
