There is only one class on Monday afternoon and school ends at 2pm.

Even though the sun was blocked by thick white clouds, the slightly humid ground was still a bit muggy.

The advantage of solar rain is probably that it is easy to see rainbows.

One end of the rainbow was obscured by tall buildings in the distance, while the other end fell in the middle of the city.

Perhaps he was infected by the environment around him over the past year, and he suddenly remembered that he had a dream when he was a child, which was to see the scene on the other side of the rainbow.

How did you forget it later? Maybe it’s because as you get older, there are more and more miscellaneous things.

There were hurried figures downstairs, and no one looked at him because of his brief stop.

Until he was knocked unconscious.

"hiss?"

Shiina Kiri covered her waist and turned around. When she saw the person behind her, she was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily.

"Why are you hitting me so hard, squad leader?"

The elbow just now was not light. He thought it was that boy Hiroshi Fujita, who was neither light nor heavy in the play, but now it seemed that it was a personal grudge.

Kobayakawa Kazuki stood up straight with a calm face. "Let's go."

"Where to go?"

"Didn't you say you wanted to take the guitar for care?"

Kobayakawa Kazuki turned around and glanced at him while carrying his schoolbag.

"I invited you yesterday, and you told me that you had something to do in the afternoon."

"Today's work is handed over to others."

"It turns out that monitor monitor really has something going on. I thought you were just making excuses."

"Oh, not everyone is as idle as you and doesn't participate in club activities."

"Isn't this the exhaustion of running around for a living?"

He followed Kazuki Kobayakawa towards the school gate.

The Yueki High School campus covers a large area, and the teaching building is a long way from the school gate.

It's just that not many people left school during this time, and the school stipulated that participation in clubs was required unless there were special circumstances, so the "Homecoming Club" was abolished and became a ban.

"Yue Xia has joined the broadcast club, and you have the nerve to say this. I think it is necessary to have a good talk with Mr. Koizumi about your campus life. Now you are the only one in Class C, doing nothing all day long."

The school radio rang out at the right time, with the pleasant voice of Yusei Yuexa, talking about tomorrow's sports festival.

Join a club?

Shiina Kiri frowned and thought for a while, he was indeed a little idle recently.

…

Kobayakawa Kazuki accompanied Shiina Kiri back to the rental house to get the guitar, and on the way, he put his schoolbag back to the "Flower Garden" in the old street.

The maid aunt affectionately called her "Miss", but Shiina Kiri, who was carrying a gig bag beside her, ignored her.

He had already forced her to kiss her when she was pretending to be a man, so there was no need to say anything more.

However, he still respects her intention in formal situations, after all, this has already happened.

If classmates at school find out... I can't tell who is unlucky.

I'm afraid that the matter will become public knowledge, after all, Kobayakawa Kazuki's identity in the school is the president of the student council.

The two took the train to a musical instrument store near Mitsukoshi Mall, named JEUGIA.

The store not only displays various guitars, but also musical instruments such as saxophones, drums, and drum organs.

The store manager is a middle-aged man with a beard and long hair. He looks thin and has a long face.

There were no customers in the store on Monday afternoon. After hearing Shiina Kiri's surprise, he took out the care tools and started busy.

Shiina Kiri looked around at the musical instruments in the store.

Since the guitar is listed as a separate skill, other instruments should also be able to generate skills.

When the guitar reaches level 4, can I dabble in other instruments?

Regarding skills, there are only two paths before us, one is to specialize, and the other is to just try it.

He currently prefers the latter, just brush up other skills except learning to lv4.

The middle-aged man loosened the strings on his guitar, took off the string pegs one by one, rolled up the strings and placed them on the headstock, and asked without raising his head.

"Do you need to change the strings?"

It sounds a bit like selling melons. By the way, the apples on the stall are also very sweet. Do you want to buy some and go back to try them?

But it's not exactly the same. It's really convenient to change the strings when caring for your guitar.

"Okay, please."

He didn't know when the strings were last changed, but it had been two months since he had the guitar.

"May I ask what kind of strings the guest needs?"

"It's fine as long as it's easy. There's no big requirement for the timbre."

In terms of guitar, he is just getting started, which is a bit like singing someone else's song by looking at the lyrics.

If you don’t learn music theory, you will never think about it in depth.

I just don’t know what will happen after his guitar skill reaches lv5, lv6, lv...

Or in other words, if the guitar level is not that high, there will be a "bottleneck" at a certain stage?

It is currently unknown.

Music theory?

Shiina Kiri suddenly had an idea.

Learning music theory is not only good for the guitar, but also very helpful for other instruments. It is similar to a guiding stone. In the future, you can get twice the result with half the effort by improving your skills on other instruments.

"In terms of string prices?"

"It should be between one thousand and two thousand yen. You can arrange it."

The man responded without asking any more questions. Upon seeing this, Shiina Kiri and Kobayakawa Kazuki continued to walk around the store.

Soon he stopped under a wall of musical instruments.

"What are you looking at?"

Kobayakawa Kazuki followed his gaze and looked up.

"Is this a guzheng?"

Eight guzheng-like musical instruments hang vertically on the wall.

Shiina Kiri was still a little surprised that the island country had a musical instrument like the guzheng, but it was normal to think about it. After all, many things here came from the east.

"Guzheng? This is koto, right?"

Just like the Chinese Valentine's Day in a few days, it will have some local characteristics.

"I see."

It looks like the strings are really missing a lot.

After the two briefly visited the musical instrument store, they returned to the middle-aged man. Shiina Kiri had not thought about what skill to use next.

They stood aside and watched the middle-aged man simply polish the frets with a polishing block.

In the summer, sweat stains the metal, but fortunately the wear and tear is not serious.

Polishing, oiling, string changing...

The middle-aged man playing with the guitar suddenly paused and looked inside the sound hole with some surprise.

"Is there something wrong with the guitar?" Shiina Kiri was stunned for a moment.

The middle-aged man put down his guitar and glanced at him, with a slightly strange expression on his face. He considered it after a moment.

"I don't know what you call me."

It's rare to ask someone's name when caring for a guitar, but Shiina Kiri doesn't show off.

"Shiina Kiri."

"Oh, this guitar was given to you by someone else!" The middle-aged man suddenly realized and smiled.

Shiina Kiri."?"

Kobayakawa Kazuki on the side sighed silently.

As expected, whatever you are afraid of will come to you.
