Mygo, the band legend of Tokyo handsome guy

Iwashita Shima paused for a moment, then took an envelope from her bag and placed it on the table.

"This is my resignation letter. Kikuri, I'm sorry for what follows—"

Seeing that Hiroi Kikuri remained silent, Shimizu Eliza grew anxious: "No, Shima-nee, did we do something wrong...?"

Mingze Feng also spoke up.

Looking at her excited teammates with tears in their eyes, Iwashita Shima then looked at Hiroi Kikuri, who was hanging her head.

she...

How could I not have memories of that time?

Before the name SickHack appeared, it was when Shima Iwashita and Kikuri Hiroi had just started university. At that time, Kikuri Hiroi was a shy girl with a school uniform, braided hair, and glasses.

In its early days, SickHack was by no means a debut that was an instant success. In fact, if it weren't for the support of FOLT, which was located nearby, SickHack wouldn't have even had the chance to perform on stage.

After yet another disastrous performance, Kikuri Hiroi got drunk for the first time, and then...

SickHack ignited the entire venue for the first time.

Hiroi's maniacal laughter back then truly possessed a unique charm.

But before that, Iwashita Shima had always felt that Hiroi Kikuri possessed a different kind of aura, one that she herself lacked.

Perhaps that's why she always stayed by Hiroi Kikuri's side.

“Kikuri…” After Iwashita Shima spoke, Eliza and Narusawa Kaede also looked at Hiroi Kikuri.

"...Yesterday's news...Never mind, Kiku, it's not your fault. It's my own problem."

"...Um."

"If they come to my house later, they won't come... well, it's not necessary, right?"

Iwashita Shima looked at Narusawa Kaede, and she shook her head.

It wouldn't be accurate to call it being kept, but with him around, Hiroi wouldn't be so destitute as to have to borrow her bathroom and freeload off her meals anymore.

"Well, I'm leaving now?"

"......"

Hiroi Kikuri pressed her finger to her forehead, gave a slow hum, and said, "Well... I'll ask you out for drinks next time..."

“Of course, no problem…” Iwashita Shima nodded.

she left.

She left so gracefully...

The team has fallen apart?

Seeing that Hiroi Kikuri was still propping her head up and not saying a word, Narusawa Kaede and Shimizu Eliza exchanged a glance and they clearly defined their roles.

Eliza: [You go and try to persuade Kikuri, I'm going to go after Shima.]

Narusawa Kaede: [You take care of Shima, I'll talk to Kikuri.]

Judging from Hiroi Kikuri's state of mind... no one would think that she was truly indifferent to Iwashita Shima's departure.

Mingze Feng slowly reached out and put his arm around her shoulder.

Kikuri Hiroi's shoulders were trembling slightly. The back of her hand, which was resting on her forehead, was also moving.

And on the face...

"Cried?"

"Ugh..."

"Perhaps Shima just hasn't figured it out yet. You know, everyone goes through that phase."

"Um..."

"Speaking of yesterday's news, it was actually my fault. What I told you this morning...maybe after what I said to you and Eliza, Shima felt..."

"I know..."

"Where is Captain Kikuri?"

A glimpse into Hiroi Kiku's love life: she pouted, her cheeks streaked with tears.

"...Even I have things I can't do... If Shima's taking this so seriously... That's just how things are when dealing with internal relations... It's also my fault that Shima wants to leave..."

"I..."

"..."

Naruzawa Kaede wiped away Hiroi Kikuri's tears, pinched her increasingly healthy and tender cheeks, and looked into her tearful eyes.

"Kikuri, do you remember how you persuaded Shima to come back last time...?"

"I..."

"Shall we go do it?"

"I...I don't dare...What if Shima really tells me she's not coming back?"

Hiroi Kikuri shrank her neck slightly. She gently leaned her head back and pressed it against Narusawa Kaede's chest.

She was already being pulled into Ming Zefeng's arms by the shoulder, and now she was completely nestled in his embrace.

Naruzawa Kaede looked down at Hiroi Kikuri's appearance and felt it was becoming increasingly familiar.

It was as if he had seen Kikuri Hiroi grieving for her departed friend long ago.

I remember now, it was because of Hoshika's departure that he got drunk on the roadside, and then he drank with Hiroi Kikuri...

Mingze Feng called over a waiter and ordered a case of beer.

Then she lowered her head and smiled at Hiroi Kikuri, "...Guess what this reminds me of?"

Lying in Narusawa Kaede's arms, her face was still being kneaded. Hiroi Kikuri didn't feel any discomfort; instead, the pain in her heart caused by Shima's departure was quickly being filled by another feeling.

She probably doesn't need her best friend anymore now that she has a boyfriend.

Hiroi Kikuri knew that this was the case.

The reason why Shima Iwashita is leaving now is actually... because of this.

Why, why did it turn out like this?

Mingming Band is about to hold its first concert. Mingming is a close friend who can be in a band for life. Mingming has finally met a man who shares the same values.

Several such good things have come together.

In the end, it turned out like this.

Kikuri Hiroi felt that it was all her fault.

But if you had to choose between your boyfriend and your best friend...

Nestled in Naruzawa Kaede's arms, Hiroi Kikuri shrank back a little, wanting to tell Naruzawa Kaede to hold her tighter.

But the words that came out were...

"They'll just laugh at me... Feng is a bad guy."

Naruzawa Kaede is a bad guy. He's the bad guy who broke up someone else's band...

The beer was served quickly, but Hiroi Kikuri didn't look up. She heard the sound of a bottle being opened, followed by Narusawa Kaede starting to drink.

Hiroi Kikuri grumbled angrily, "Didn't you come to comfort her? Why are you secretly drinking it yourself?"

Mingze Feng did not swallow the wine.

Before Hiroi Kikuri in his arms could make a move.

Naruzawa Kaede reached out and grasped her chin. Then, turning his head, he wrapped his arms around Hiroi Kikuri's waist and kissed her.

Or rather, is it about feeding Juli a drink?

"Hmm...Hmm? Hmm~ Mmm..."

Kikuri Hiroi couldn't help but hum softly. The drink, carrying bubbles and a familiar scent, slid across her mouth and rushed into her brain and lungs.

That slightly intoxicating scent tickled her, sending a jolt through her body like an electric current. Her delicate frame trembled uncontrollably, her toes in her wooden clogs tensed, and even her eyes became hazy.

If it were just drinking, Hiroi wouldn't have gotten drunk so quickly. But she had been drunk for a long time because of Narusawa Kaede.

Now, Mingze Feng is feeding her wine...

The kind where you kiss mouth to mouth.

"Hmm..."

A few glistening drops clung to the corners of her mouth; the unswallowed drop had coated her pinkish-white lips with a translucent film of water.

Hiroi Kikuri's lips parted slightly, and she couldn't help but raise her arm and place it behind Narusawa Kaede.

"...Let's go find her together after we're all drunk?"

"...Give me a little more first."

"it is good."

The first glass was quickly emptied. Then came the first bottle.

Hiroi Kikuri felt both familiar and unfamiliar with this intoxication.

When Mingze Feng stopped halfway, she couldn't help but think about it again.

If Iwashita Shima could see this absurd state of affairs now, she would probably be even more determined to leave without looking back.

Again.

When the drink was poured into Hiroi Kikuri's mouth, she didn't let go; instead, she tightly hugged Narusawa Kaede's neck.

The body temperature that had risen from drinking was transmitted without reservation. Hiroi Kikuri's arm, which was resting on her side, was also sticky, as was the fabric behind her.

Her delicate body was covered in sweat, yet her eyes grew even brighter. Hiroi Kikuri's increasingly heavy, hot breath made Narusawa Kaede realize something.

She seemed to be drunk.

Hiroi Kikuri slowly sat up in Narusawa Kaede's arms. Until her chest was as high as Narusawa Kaede's face.

Then she lowered her head.

The overwhelming sensation was the intoxication brought on by alcohol.

Looking at Hiroi Kikuri's flushed cheeks, Narusawa Kaede asked softly, "Is everything alright?"

“There’s a problem,” Hiroi Kikuri said, but her hand behind Narusawa Kaede’s head tightened.

Mingze Feng didn't resist and was pulled into her soft embrace. Although it wasn't enough to block his nose and make him breathe, his eyes and the tip of his nose were indeed buried in her embrace.

Hiroi Kikuri's grip tightened.

She was practically gritting her teeth.

"That's really unfair of you... If you do that again, I'll probably agree to anything you want..."

"Maple, I'm addicted. Addicted to yours..."

Narusawa Kaede inhaled deeply the scent emanating from Kiku, which wasn't just the smell of alcohol, or rather, there was hardly any alcohol at all. Instead, the sweat that appeared as Hiroi Kiku metabolized carried a slightly sour smell.

The warm touch pressed tightly against her face, and no matter how she adjusted it, it would cause Hiroi Kikuri's waist to tremble slightly.

This woman never liked wearing underwear; she didn't even need to change out of her yukata.

There's more important business to attend to...

"I'll be with you..."

"No."

Hiroi Kikuri gently shook her head.

"If Kaede comes with me, Shima will be even less likely to come back. Unless... hehe, that won't work either. Shima is different from Eliza; she wouldn't like a boy with a girlfriend, you know?"

"That--"

As soon as Naruzawa Kaede opened his mouth, Hiroi Kikuri tightened her grip, almost silencing him.

Although it wasn't completely blocked, Mingze Feng's voice did become very muffled.

When Narusawa Kaede spoke, the hot breath he exhaled made Hiroi Kikuri's legs tremble.
