"I thought there was something in there at first... but it turned out to be just Kikuri's simple alcohol addiction."

Nekoyashiki Haru shook his head.

"Hey hey! Hug me, Xiaoqing!"

After confirming that Hiroi Kikuri didn't fall, Eliza walked towards Nekoyashiki Haru and hugged her tightly.

"wait…"

"Don't wait! I miss you so much... Come stay at my house tonight."

"No... forget it..."

"Why is that? We are from the same hometown. We knew each other in England."

Eliza looked at Nekoyashiki Haru and said.

"Is this the uniquely Japanese reservedness? Actually, you've already agreed to stay at my house tonight, right? I get it, I get it~"

"Don't try to use anime stuff on me..."

Nekoyashiki Haru sighed and cast a look for help towards where Iwashita Shima was probably.

"Oh...alright, alright, stop wasting time. The show is about to start. Qing, you still need to change clothes, right?"

Eliza let go of her hand, and Nekoyashiki Haru nodded.

"Yes."

Eliza next to him gently pulled Nekayashiki Haru's arm, then pulled him into the lounge and handed the hood and windbreaker to Nekayashiki Haru.

"Put it on! I've kept it well! [Poison Cat] GO!"

Eliza cheered, raising her hands.

"Ugh…"

Nekayashiki Haru increasingly felt that there was something wrong with her previous aesthetic taste.

Putting on a black windbreaker, the metal chains knocked against each other, making a crisp sound.

Then came the black cat-shaped hood. After it was put on the head and knocked, the screen on the face immediately lit up and turned into a dead cat face with sharp teeth.

"Cough cough..."

Nekayashiki Haru, whose voice was a little muffled through the mask, turned around and faced the other two people waiting at the door.

"I'm ready."

Chapter 48 Smashing the Keyboard

"I'm so excited! Poison Cat is performing again. I haven't been around lately and I'm a little worried that there won't be any performances in the future."

"It feels like it's been a while since I last met you with SICKHACK."

Two stylishly dressed women were walking and chatting while holding drinks.

Then he stopped at a table.

“…”×2

Looking at the slightly arched table, cold sweat broke out on both of their foreheads.

Kaka!

As if noticing being watched, the table shook violently, then began to move slowly to the side.

Snail?!

The two of them opened their mouths at the same time, looking at the creature under the table, wearing winter clothes and a woolen hat, with its face covered tightly, pushing the table to the other side.

“…I always feel…”

"It's really rock 'n' roll, haha..."

The two of them forced a smile and then quickly moved to the other side.

"…leaving…leaving?"

The strange creature under the table... Goto Ichiri raised his head.

Suddenly, someone stood next to me and scared me to death...

But I should have been very careful in my actions just now. Maybe I didn't get noticed?

Um… so many people came today… is it because of the long-awaited performance of [Toxic Cat]?

It feels like the venue is full.

Goto Ichiri closed his eyes behind the goggles in fear.

I can’t look at that… The backs of the crowd are like the abyss. If I keep looking, my soul will be sucked in…

It's right under the table, no one will notice... Then I'll quietly move to the front, watch the performance of [Poisonous Cat], and then go back today...

Ah, want to buy some surrounding items as well?

Goto Ichiri was thinking this, and at this moment, the curtain on the stage began to slowly draw down.

"Ah... is it about to begin?"

Goto Ichiri was slightly stunned, then began to move forward.

"?!"

"!"

"what?!"

The people around looked at the moving table in shock and made way for it.

boom!

The table moved to the front of the stage, and then with a bang, it stopped in front of the stage.

“…It seems…someone noticed?”

Goto Ichiri was lying under the table when he suddenly noticed other people's gazes and felt a sense of unease.

"No...it's okay, I'm wearing thick clothes, no one can see it..."

Goto Ichiri comforted himself. Although it was really hot, his clothes were completely soaked with sweat... Especially his chest and buttocks... And his underwear seemed to be soaked as well...

Go take a shower as soon as you get home!

After silently deciding what to do when he returned, Goto Ichiri raised his head.

At this moment, the curtain slowly rose.

On the stage, a purple-haired woman was chewing something, her body shaking strangely as she chewed, causing the bass to also begin to shake on her body.

"Just one...just one...I still have one left after the show...hehe..."

The soft mumbling to himself was transmitted throughout the hall through the microphone in front of him.

“…did you knock it?”

Passerby A hesitated.

"Yes."

Passerby B agreed.

"Of course I did!"

Passerby C affirmed.

Dong↑Dong↓Dong↑Dong↓Dong→

The intense bass sound came out from the speakers, shaking Goto Ichiri's internal organs.

"Hahahaha!!! Everyone!!! Let's have fun today!!!"

After recovering from the alcohol content in the chocolate, Hiroi Kikuri announced loudly.

"...Hiroi...introduction..."

Drummer's seat, Iwagami Shima took a deep breath and covered his face as a reminder.

"Hmm? Ah? It's not the first time anyway, so what's the need for introductions?"

"Yes! I want it!"

Eliza hugged her guitar and leaned over to the weirdo in the electronic helmet next to her.

He put his arm around her shoulders and smiled at the audience.

"Everyone! [Poison Cat] is performing with us today after a long time! Did you miss him?!"

[Poison Cat] knocked on the hood.

On the facial screen, the original [XX] turned into [^ ^].

"Yes! Very much!"

"[Poison Cat]! Where have you been?!"

"We've all been waiting for you!!!"

The sudden cheers from the audience frightened Goto Ichiri, who had just come out a little, and he shrank back again.

[Poison Cat] tilted his head, and the next moment, he started playing the red battle axe keyboard with both hands.

The intense sound stream instantly swept the entire venue, and this was also the signal to start. The other three followed in sync without any gaps.

In terms of tacit understanding, at this stage, the tacit understanding between the three members of [SICKHACK] and [Poison Cat] is definitely the best.

The psychedelic music style seemed to distort the space in the venue, and the meaningless lyrics carried an inexplicable connection, lifting the hearts of everyone in the dark venue.

The notes collided with each other and played into everyone's heart, their bones trembled in the music and their internal organs resonated with it.

Goto Ichiri climbed out from the table, took out a cheering stick from his coat, and started waving it violently.

Faint and conspicuous fluorescent lights flickered in the venue, and everyone seemed to be pulled into a psychedelic world.

"Swing as hard as you can!!!"

Hiroi Kikuri roared loudly, suddenly ran towards the speaker next to her, and kicked it down. With a bang, the sound of the speaker falling shook everyone.

"Oh oh oh oh!!!!"

Hiroi Kikuri screamed and waved her fists on the stage. The expression on the screen of [Poison Cat] suddenly showed a [＃], and the keyboard had no choice but to replace the sound of the bass.

"Ahahahaha! Get excited, everyone! Haven't you eaten yet?!"

Hiroi Kikuri laughed loudly at the audience, and what followed was the audience's enthusiastic cheers.

Most of the people here are fans of [SICKHACK] and [Poisonous Cat].

“Smash one!!!”

Suddenly, someone roared loudly.

"Smash one! Smash one!"

Other voices followed suit.

“Yeah…Yeah!!! Smash…smash one!”

Goto Ichiri also quietly raised his hand and joined in the booing.

"... "

The expression on the screen of [Poison Cat] changed to [~ ~].

"Hahaha! I'm telling you to smash it! Go ahead and smash it! You even have this keyboard!"
