Devil's Music

Unlike Anna's prediction, Shizuka sits somewhat opposite the case. Anna sits next to the case with an excited look on her face and Anthony sits next to Shizuka. When an employee orders a beer and a simple drink to take off his hat and sunglasses,

Tsuka's eyes turned dazed. Perhaps she chose a place where she could get a good look at the case. As Anna also watched the handsome side of the case, Anthony opened his mouth first to ventilate the silent room.

“Hey, Kay. You're with us, right? Haha, I can't feel it. ”

The gun nods with a slight smile.

“It's the same for all of us, but we can't choose our own partners. I didn't even hear your name. I only got the time and studio number. ”

“Oh, right. We're lucky, though. Haha”

Anthony once again said, seeing Anna and Shizuka still in the face of the case.

“What are you going to do? ”

Gun turns around and tilts its head.

“Should we all decide on that? ”

Anthony scratches his cheek with a smile.

“Oh, by the way, I don't think I can say anything in front of Kay.”

“Haha, don't do that. He's just a student like us, Anthony. ”

Anna, who was dumbfounded, suddenly said in a frenzied state.

“Well, yes! Students in the same school! So can we please just talk about this? ”

I nodded my head as if it were natural.

“Yes! Anna, Shizuka, Anthony. Take care of everyone. ”

Anna raises her arms in excitement.

“Ouch! Cay and I ate! Yay!!! ”

Anthony seemed to try not to, but he couldn't help but smile on his face, and Shizuka was still busy looking at the case. When Anna, who was shaking her hands for a long time, saw the door open and turned her head, the waiter brought beer and drinks to the tray.

I looked at the previous case and saw that I almost missed the tray in my hand.

“Huff, huff!! Kei? Kei? ”

The gun glances at the employee, smiling and waving.

“Hello? I'm in the middle of a group meeting with the students, so please don't make a fuss. ”

The employee who was standing idle said, closing the door in a hurry.

“Yes, of course! Thank you for visiting our shop! ”

After the staff placed the food and beer on the table, they approached the case and said briefly.

“Look, I'm sorry, just one photo...”

“Oh, yes, I will. ”

One of the staff members opened the door and thanked me with a smile for taking a picture in a friendly pose next to the staff. Anna, who was looking at the case with jealous eyes, shouted with a beer.

“Come on! Let's drink! For the Joint Challenge! Cheers!"

Each of you raises your glass high, passes the beer cool, and places it on the table with a thumping sound. Anthony drops his glass halfway down and is surprised to see the case empty at once.

“Huh? You drank it all at once? You must be good at drinking. ”

You look at the empty glass and smile awkwardly.

“Aha · · If I don't drink the first glass at once, I've spent a long time with the person who pours the bottle into my mouth · · Haha, my back gets cold sweat just thinking about it. ”

Anthony opens the VIP room door and shouts as he feels the cold sweat flowing down his back, thinking of someone who was wearing sunglasses for a short time and looking down at himself.

“Here's another one! ”

Soon after the same staff member brought another beer, the group were able to tell the full story. First, Anthony looked at the case and said,

“Well, once this mission is basically a competition, it's not an absolute score, it's a relative score, so if someone plays better than Joe, we don't get an A +. You all know that, right?”

Everyone nodded and Anthony glanced at Shizuka.

“This is just an opinion, so listen. When I heard that Shizuka is a classics department, I thought straight away, maybe I should choose a song that is a little more difficult to play. You have Kay. You're sure about the guitar and the piano? ”

Anna nods and looks at Shizuka.

“I think so, too. Shizuka, you do most of the classical, right? ”

Shizuka considers for a moment, then nods with a slightly dark expression.

“Yes, anything is possible. ”

“Okay, so why don't we switch the classics to band scores? ”

“I agree. Let's increase your performance difficulty and apply it all with technique! ”

“Hooray!! ”

Unlike Anna and Anthony, who were playing against each other, the case was silently looking at Shizuka with a dark look on her face. Anna, who was quick to notice, first noticed Shizuka's gaze. We closed our mouths to Anthony and we looked at Shizuka, who felt everyone's gaze.

The group moves around in a panic. Gun said to Shizuka, who opened her eyes wide and looked embarrassed.

“Shizuka, we're a team. If you don't like something, I want you to tell me. ”

Shizuka hurriedly said.

“Oh, no. It's not like that. I'll just do whatever the team members decide to do. ”

The gun opened its arms and leaned back against the backrest. Anna, who was looking at Shizuka for a moment, got up from her seat and took out a cigarette from the guitar bag.

“Oh, I'll get a cigarette. ”

As if Anthony had done well, he quickly got up and packed a cigarette in his pocket.

“I'm coming with you. Wow! I'm glad you have a friend! ”

When Anna and Anthony, who are on high five, come out of the room with her, Shizuka bows her head to see if the air in the room is awkward, just the two of them left behind. I was looking at Shizuka and said with a warm smile.

“Um, Shizuka? Classics? I didn't know we were having a conversation. ”

Shizuka shakes slightly and nods, still bowing.

“Yes, yes? Oh, right. ”

The gun intersects the hand on the table and asks.

“Having fun?”

Shizuka's body became stiff. Seeing Shizuka's eyes tremble, he leaned down, sighing, and leaning on his back.

“You're not having fun? Classic.”

Shizuka said nothing and the case was serious.

“If you're not having fun, there are only two ways to do it, either stop it, or make it fun. ”

Shizuka smiles as she looks at the incident with surprised eyes.

“I came to study abroad from Japan to the United States, but it would be the last option to stop thinking about your parents. Well, let's start with something fun. ”

“Yes, yes? Uh, how...”

“Hehe, let's think about everything together. ”

Anna and Anthony, who had just smoked and came in, looked at the atmosphere in the room, and the case said, raising a beer glass.

“Come on, let's have a drink. Let's talk. ”

The seated party takes another sip of beer and looks at the case. The gun glances at the left and smiles brightly.

“Why don't we start with something other than classics and see what we can do? ”

Anna nods slightly and shakes her head.

“What music? It's a band, right?”

Anthony twists his chin with one hand and says,

“Consider the keyboard in band music. It reminds me of the Red Zeppelin, the Pink Floyd, the Beatles. Does Anna have any thoughts? ”

Anna thought about it for a moment and said.

“It's all vocals, of course, and with Kay, I wouldn't worry about the vocals, but I think it would be better if I could see them. ”

“Well, that makes sense. What about you, Shizuka? ”

Shizuka, who was listening to the conversation, was slightly surprised when he was nominated.

“Well, I mean, whatever."

“Erik, why don't you have an opinion? ”

“Yes, tell me what you think. You're on the team, Shizuka. ”

“I'm... sorry. I haven't really thought about it, uh, yet. ”

Anna shakes her head and asks.

“What do you think, Kay? ”

Gun looks at Shizuka with a gentle smile and says to Anna.

“Maybe you guys. Do you know a guy named Yukiguramoto? ”

Anna looks at the case curiously, slapping the table and saying,

“Uh, I've heard of it. Aren't you a pianist?”

“Yes, a Japanese pianist from Shizuka. ”

“Was he a classical musician? ”

“Well, I started out as a classic, but I started out as a New Age pianist. ”

“New Age? Cult music? ”

“Yes, there's a song called Lake Louise on the album ‘Lake Misty Blue,' published by Yukikuramoto in 1986. Would you like to hear it? ”

When Anna finds and plays music on her mobile phone music app, beautiful music flows from her imagination playing the grand piano in the middle of nature. Anthony confirmed that he was working with a small orchestra and heard violins and cellos.

He nods slightly.

“That's a beautiful song. Why not bass the cello line and guitar the violin line? ”

I looked down at the phone where the music was coming from, saying Anna was surprised.

“Gosh, why have I never heard a song like this before? You knew that, didn't you, Shizuka? ”

Shizuka nods with a slightly proud expression.

“Of course, he's really famous in Japan. ”

“I see. It's a little bit of a beautiful animation. ”

“It was also used in games and animations. ”

“Oh! I knew my ears were right, haha."

Seeing Shizuka looking a little brighter, I leaned forward and looked at her. Suddenly, when Shizuka was surprised to see the leaning, she opened her eyes and leaned back and said with a smile.

“Do you want to play? ”

Shizuka looks a little embarrassed and nods slightly.

“Yes, he is, yes. It's not that difficult, so it should be quick. ”

The gun snapped its index finger and said.

“Not the piano. ”

“Yes, yes? Except for the piano? ”

“Yes, not the piano. ”

“W-what does that mean · ·”

Anna and Anthony smiled as they looked at the case, shaking the glass halfway through the case.

“Shizuka, drum up. ”

“Yes? ”

“Kay! What do you mean by that? ”

“It's my drum. ”

When he smiled sexily at the three people who were embarrassed by the gun, he was two women who lost interest in the smile while wondering. The only time he saw Anthony awake, he smiled with a slight reveal of his right fang.

“It's practice anyway, right? Let's practice with a different instrument, not a specialized instrument. Instead, don't practice alone. Practice together and help each other. What do you think?”

The three enchanted people sitting in the quiet VIP room blink at each other in surprise. Gun flicks its finger at the group once more.

“It's just a rehearsal. Let's go at ease. Let's discuss and decide what song to play in the contest afterwards. ”
