You are Toyokawa Shoko, then who am I?

If the other person is an adult, she will naturally not make things difficult for him. She will just look at his resume and qualifications and then select the best one.

But most of the people who came for the interview were students, and most of the students nowadays are indeed as she said, impatient and lacking in ability.

She has put a lot of effort into this newly opened store and doesn't want some insignificant people to come in and pollute her business.

Furthermore, her granddaughter also comes to this store.

Jade from other mountains can be used to polish stone.

She wanted to find some capable and enthusiastic peers for her grandson, so that they could promote each other in the Live House environment, polish each other's talents and personalities, and burst out with dazzling brilliance.

in short.

The sword (grandson) is sharpened by grinding (working as a cow and a cheap babysitter). I want to find a new-age all-round cow who can help me take care of my granddaughter and work in the store.

But times are tough.

There are so few young people who are both ambitious and capable...

The evil ghost had already prepared himself to gain nothing.

However, the reality does not seem as pessimistic as she expected.

She smelled a familiar scent on this young man she had never met before, and her intuition told her...

This person is the big fish she has been waiting for.

"Well, that's generally correct."

The evil ghost bared his bloody fangs.

That is the joy of seeing the prey.

It's the excited look on the fisherman's face when he sees a fish taking the bait.

I am also curious about the quality of the raw jade.

"Since you've volunteered, let's perform on the spot. As long as you can deliver an impromptu performance that I consider acceptable within ten minutes, I'll assign you a job."

Tsuzuki Poetry Ship waved his hand.

"You can use any instruments or effects pedals from the store. Play with all your might. I don't want to see a performance where you haven't given your all, even if it's just a temporary performance."

Bah, bah, bah.

Shiina Riki blinked.

She doesn't understand.

Why are these two talking about performing live.

Tsuzuki Shisen's words just now were clearly an invitation to see someone off.

Why was the guy next to him able to see the clues and guess the hidden meaning of the store manager?

We're all the same age...

Why is there such a big gap between people?

wrong.

This is not the point.

The point is to perform live in front of that Tsuzuki poetry ship?

Can you only play improvisations?

what?

me?

I just met this person who was just my first date and whom I had only met once?

……real or fake?

P.S. Please vote, recommend, comment, post, and collect. This is very important for the new book.

007. You have a face like this, why don’t you play the keyboard?

"Well, let's start the countdown now."

Tsuzuki Shifune lived up to her name as an evil spirit, and even took the preparation time and running-in time into account in these short ten minutes.

Shiina Riki's heart skipped a beat. What a joke! She felt that even if she spent the entire ten minutes playing, it wouldn't be enough.

That's the Tsuzuki Poetry Ship across the way!

Even if you perform exceptionally well, you may not get any good results, let alone playing with someone you have only met once!

"Please wait a moment, could you at least give us some time to prepare?" Shiina Riki said anxiously, "This is the first time I've met him, and I don't even know what instrument he's good at. If I rush into a performance like this, I'm sure he won't play well!"

I really have no impression...

Toyokawa Sho secretly glanced at Shiina Riki next to him. Since he had already prepared himself mentally, he did not have any major emotional fluctuations. He just sighed helplessly.

And Tsuzuki Shifune noticed the subtle change in Toyokawa Sho's expression.

Just like the waitress before, Toyokawa Sho's intriguing expression and the natural harmonious distance between the two made her misjudge their relationship.

These two children seem to have an unusual relationship...

But it's okay. If the two of them were a couple, it would be safer for Lenai. Although Lenai doesn't seem like someone who can fall in love too early, it never hurts to have a little more insurance.

Thinking of this, Tsuzuki Shifune felt a little more satisfied with the two people in front of her. However, she had no interest in delving into their relationship further. She put on an unmoved expression and said:

"You have nine minutes and forty seconds."

How could this person be so unreasonable?!

Shiina Riki thought that her requests were all reasonable, but they were rejected by Tsuzuki Shifune in an instant.

She didn't understand what was wrong with what she said. If two complete strangers suddenly wanted to play together, wouldn't they need time to get used to each other? At least they should give her time to know what instrument the other person could play, right?

They just went on stage hastily, each playing their own music, each with their own beat. Can people listen to what they played?

"Maybe the store manager thinks you're lying."

Toyokawa Sho, who was standing next to them, naturally leaned close to Shiina Riki's ear, covering his mouth with one hand as if he was whispering.

"I even called you by your name just now, but the manager didn't think we were just acquaintances. He probably thought we were good friends who even stuck together while working."

"Huh?" Shiina Riki turned around, his meticulously crafted face filled with confusion. "I don't even know you... No, this isn't the time to waste time!"

She asked urgently, having entered the race against time mode.

"What instrument do you play? Keyboard?"

You know I can play keyboard?

What? You still have an impression of me!

Taki sauce, Love——

It seemed as if many special effects of flowers and sunshine appeared behind Toyokawa Sho, and his mood was visibly good, but he soon realized that something was wrong.

When Shiina Riki asked him if he could play the keyboard, it was probably not because she had an impression of him.

It's probably because he looks very similar to Toyokawa Shoko, and she subconsciously thinks he is Toyokawa Shoko, so she said that.

After realizing the truth, Toyokawa Sho paused for a few seconds, the expression on his facial features seemed to be imprinted, the voice, appearance and smile of that dark history flashed before his eyes, and veins seemed to bulge on his forehead.

He retracted his smile. The harmonious and friendly expression he had just had became a thing of the past. Now, only the cold and indifferent expression appeared on his face.

...Why is this person suddenly looking at me as if I were a traitor?

Shiina Riki does not understand Toyokawa Sho's sensitive inner changes.

She just felt that Toyokawa Sho's current expression was as gloomy and cold as the expression on Toyokawa Shoko's face a few days ago when he ran over and said he wanted to quit the band.

He is like a hedgehog covered with thorns. If you stretch out your hand, you will be pricked and bleed. He does not allow anyone to approach him rashly. He erects an insurmountable wall of his heart to block all the concern.

He is indeed that guy's brother...

Shiina Riki became more certain about his judgment about the twins.

No, now is not the time to think about this!

Shiina Riki turned around and looked at Tsuzuki Shifune who was sitting quietly and indifferently beside him. The other party just said lightly, "Nine minutes left."

"Hey, we don't have time for any more small talk! There's an electronic keyboard over there, if you know how to play it, hurry up—"

“I don’t play keyboards.”

“…Huh?” Shiina Riki was confused again.

why?

You have a face like this, why don’t you play the keyboard?

"Aren't you a drummer? If you ask which instrument in the band is most compatible with the drummer, the first thing that comes to mind is the bass." Toyokawa Sho walked to the stage and bent down to select a string instrument.

"Are you going to play the bass with me?" Shiina Riki was a little surprised.

If Toyokawa Sho really plays bass with her, with the absolutely golden combination of drums and bass, maybe Tsuzuki Shifune can really see a wonderful performance!

For a while.

Shiina Riki looked at Toyokawa Sho's back with some anticipation, as if she had already seen the beautiful scene of their successful performance and being highly praised by Tsuzuki Shisen.

Until Toyokawa Sho turned around and picked up a six-stringed string instrument.

"No, I'll take the guitar."

"..."

silence.

silence.

Still silent.

The boy and girl stared at each other in silence.

It's like Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama forged a seal of reconciliation in the Valley of the End, Amuro and Char reunited by chance on Earth, and Griffith and Guts met in the cemetery of the Hawks.

There was no need for any further words to be exchanged.

Thousands of words are all in the eyes.

Tateki Shiina: If you are sick, get treatment.

Toyokawa Sho: I don’t have money, can you give me some?

"...Do you really understand what's going on right now? We don't have time for jokes anymore!"

After all, Shiina Riki is still too young and is easily led by the anxious current situation.

She glanced at her phone. Two minutes had already passed. How could she possibly put on a wonderful performance for Tsuzuki Poetry Ship in the remaining time?

The enormous pressure began to make Shiina Riki feel anxious, so much so that her tone was inevitably filled with anxiety.

"If you want to play guitar, then play well. I'll start the beat, and you follow me as the situation progresses. Can you do that?"

The drummer's mood was unstable.

This is a debuff that can almost be called a fatal curse.

Drum beats are the main rhythm component of a song, the backbone of a band, and can even be said to be the most important link in the entire composition.

If the drum rhythm of a song is unstable and wanders around, then the rhythm of other instruments and even the singer will be carried away by the drummer.

This situation will basically become a defense based on the answers, which makes people feel very uncomfortable.

Toyokawa Sho saw Shiina Riki's anxiety and irritability, and couldn't help but feel that even if she changed the world, she would still be the same.

No matter what the matter is, even if it is just a trivial matter, she will shoulder the greatest responsibility and do things to the utmost perfection.

This nitpicking, only allowing success and not allowing failure, and even a somewhat pathological attitude, destined her to inevitably put pressure on others, and even on herself.

At first, Toyokawa Sho didn't understand why she was always so obsessed with being a stress-monster. He thought she was a problematic girl who didn't know how to read the air and spoke without emotional intelligence.

So when he was still in Group C, he wanted to help Shiina Riki improve her character flaws.
