"Are you freaking kidding me!" (Ryuuji)
At that moment, Doumoto's angry voice echoes through the studio.
An awkward atmosphere flows through the studio.
Kakihara, the target of Doumoto's anger, turns to face him with a lost expression, unlike his usual cheerfulness.
"Rintaro practiced so hard even though it's his first time playing an instrument, and he's been desperately trying to keep up with us...! And yet, why are you, the lead player, playing so carelessly?!" (Ryuuji)
"......" (Yuusuke)
――――Indeed.
Although I think that the beginner should not speak up, Kakihara's mistakes began to be noticeable as the number of rehearsals increased.
Because I was able to keep up with the tempo, it became more noticeable.
Even though over an hour had passed since we entered the studio, it could be said that most of it was not good practice.
"We're spending time to make your confession a success! If you don't have the motivation, what are we supposed to do then?" (Ryuuji)
"――――Yeah." (Yuusuke)
"HUUH?" (Ryuuji)
"Even if we practice this much, it'll just become all meaningless if the confession doesn't succeed!" (Yuusuke)
I've never seen Kakihara raise his voice like this before.
Doumoto also seems surprised by Kakihara's outburst and is visibly shaken.
"......I can't let you waste your time for a confession that won't succeed anyway. If it's becoming a hassle, you can stop if you want." (Yuusuke)
"You..." (Ryuuji)
"Sorry. I'm heading home for today." (Yuusuke)
While we're dumbfounded, Kakihara puts away his guitar and leaves the studio.
And Doumoto, seeing him off, clenched his fist in frustration.
"......Damn it, he got chickened after we came this far." (Ryuuji)
No, rather than dispirited――――he looks like he's in pain.
"He looked somewhat pale, so he probably wasn't feeling well." (Rintaro)
"...Probably was, or was not I don't know." (Ryuuji)
Anyway, it doesn't seem like we can continue the practice in this atmosphere.
I hate to say it, but... honestly, I don't have a good impression of Kakihara today.
Doumoto isn't really angry about the mistakes themselves.
The problem is his lack of motivation.
Different people may have different opinions on this, but I can't help but feel that it's strange for us to be more enthusiastic than Kakihara, who came to us seeking advice on how to get together with Nikaido.
If he's already given up, then we don't have an obligation to cooperate with him anymore.
"I don't know what he meant by saying that, but let's ask him when we meet at school next time. Maybe he'll return to normal if he takes a break." (Rintaro)
"......You're probably right." (Ryuuji)
In the end, we call it a day and go home.
I have to say, today is definitely unsatisfying.
In the evening, as the sun begins to set, I walk alone and let out a deep sigh.
I'm no saint or anything, but I just found this situation to be a real pain.
It's different from doing things for Rei and the girls or for Yukio.
In the end, it's difficult to break down the wall once it was built.
"Phew~..." (Rintaro)
I return to the apartment and unlock the door to my room.
Then I noticed that there were three pairs of girls' shoes lined up next to my own shoes.
As I walk down the hallway with a distant look, I see the familiar figures of those girls in the living room.
"My, welcome back." (Kanon)
"Just to make sure, this is still my house, right?" (Rintaro)
"What such weird things are you saying? Obviously, this is your house." (Kanon)
Those three, Kanon, Rei, and Mia, look at me with a gaze questioning if I'm nuts.
They're all dressed casually and enjoying snacks and carbonated drinks that they must have bought from somewhere.
"Welcome back, Rintaro-kun. We've been waiting for you." (Mia)
"Me?" (Rintaro)
"Well, for now, we want you to sit down." (Mia)
"Sure, whatever. But first, let me wash my hands and gargle." (Rintaro)
I don't really mind if they are in my house.
I finish washing my hands and gargling in the bathroom and return to the living room.
"Sorry to keep you waiting. So, what's it?" (Rintaro)
"Rintaro, do you remember the talk we talked about when we were with Kanon before?" (Rei)
"Oh, that talk about the band, right?" (Rintaro)
I believe it was about practicing together with Kanon playing the guitar, Mia playing the drums, and Rei doing the vocals.
At that time, Mia hadn't been informed yet――――
"After that, I contacted Mia and she easily agreed." (Kanon)
"Well, it sounds interesting. I occasionally rent a studio to relieve stress by playing the drums alone, but I've never played with anyone else before." (Mia)
"......That's it. I just wanted to inform you." (Kanon)
I understand most of it.
Doumoto seemed to be having a lot of fun, too, and playing in a band is definitely a different kind of fun from playing alone.
Of course, it's just a hobby, but both they and I should have taken care of what we usually need to do, so there's no reason for anyone to complain.
"I get all of it, but couldn't you have just told me with a message on LINE? You didn't have to come all the way to have a girls' meeting in my room." (Rintaro)
"You are really...... Look, it's that thing." (Kanon)
"What do you mean by that thing?" (Rintaro)
"I mean that thing so it is that thing!" (Kanon)
I see, there doesn't seem to be any particular reason.
I know Rei's schedule, and I know that she has today and tomorrow off.
In other words, they are also off.
Seeing them being lazy like this, it's hard to believe that they are immensely popular idols.
Their appearance is very good, but it's a matter of attitude.
――――Whatever the talk, I, who tend to be a somewhat fastidious person, have allowed them to invade my home, and I feel like I'm trusting them too much.
It's not that it's bad, though.
"Rintaro, do you have a song you're practicing now? Come on, tell me. I'll learn it for you." (Kanon)
"Wow, that's so cool..."――――I was about to say that, but since it's Kanon, I'll refrain.
I can't let her get carried away.
After I swallow my words, I let them know the name of the song, and Kanon and Mia nod in agreement.
"As expected, that's the go-to song for practicing. The structure is straightforward, and there aren't any particularly difficult parts." (Kanon)
"I may not be perfect, but I understand most of it. We'll be ready by tomorrow." (Mia)
Wait, tomorrow?
"Ah...... Rintaro, do you have time tomorrow?" (Rei)
"That should be the thing you ask first, Rei." (Rintaro)
"I forgot." (Rei)
Rei's nonchalant response makes me sigh involuntarily.
What would she have done if I had already made plans?
Or did she think I was too laid-back to have plans?
――――Well, she's not wrong though.
Yuzuki-sensei said it's okay if I don't come over often this month because I'll probably be busy at school, and I'm not hanging out with Yukio every day either.
"But don't we need to reserve a studio for band practice? Is it okay?" (Rintaro)
"Who are you talking to? I just contacted the manager and had the drums and amp moved to the private studio." (Kanon)
"Ah, you're on a different level." (Rintaro)
According to what I heard, the studio I delivered lunches to the other day turned out to be a private studio.
I thought Rei was renting it and waiting in line every time, but it seems that it meant the tenant was the agency.
In other words, that place is the studio rented by "Mille-Feuille Stars" and no one else uses it――――.
"I heard that other artists build their own personal studios. But it's enough for us to just rent it, otherwise, we'd just use it as a hangout spot or let it go to waste." (Kanon)
I guess so.
