Chapter 2 - Hometown (Part 3)

When we came out of Narushima-san's house, it was quite late.

"Hey, hey. Let's eat somewhere today before we go home."

"C-currently, I don't really want to..."

On the way home, I was still riding my bike, with Narushima-san riding behind me.

Compared to when I left, it seemed to be out of balance because it felt heavier.

Well, that's natural. You see, Narushima-san said she brought not only her acoustic guitar, but also her electric guitar.

They were both in a nylon bag, but she carried the acoustic guitar on his back, and she carried the acoustic guitar with both hands.

That's why it hit my back and the back of my head several times.

And as a bonus, there was a bag with a mini amp in the bike basket. With so much baggage, I didn't think I'd be able to stop anywhere.

"If you're also bringing your electric guitar, we'd better take the train from the beginning," 

"Originally, I was only going to bring an acoustic guitar. Thank you, Koga-kun."

"After this, you have to massage my feet, okay?"

"Ufufu. No problem. I'll rub them as long as it takes. Now go to Neo Junya Extra!!!"

Narushima-san seemed to be having fun, and I continued to pedal my bike with difficulty.

And the next day in class, I saw this scene.

"Hey, Seiran-kun... about that band you were talking about yesterday..."

Narushima-san said to Seiran in a shy tone.

"Ah, sorry for forcing you. I'll find another member, so don't worry about it, okay?"

"A-ah, about that, Seiran-kun wants to play a song that I like. Is that really okay?"

"Ah, we haven't decided what song to play yet, and our band is also on the edge. Uh, maybe Narushima..."

"Y-yeah...you-if you think my guitar skills are enough, I think I'd like to come along."

───Ha?

"Really? Are you serious, Narushima?"

"Yes. Actually, there's one song I really want to play in the band... But is it really okay? If it's a nuisance, I..."

"No way are you interrupting! If Narushima-san wants to play guitar, I'll play any difficult song! By the way, what song do you want to play so badly?"

"Thank you. The song I want to play is..."

Narushima-san looked at me shyly for a moment, then said.

"Gunjo Aoiro by Tsuki to Herodias."
