Devil's Music

After dinner with Arthur, the return to Red Kessle greets Miroslav in the garden.

Miroslav, who had already told Gregory about the affair with Kiska, was more courteous than ever.

From his point of view, the case could have been the next boss. I talked to him, took a shower and called Kiska.

“Kiska, it's me. ”

“Yes, is that America? ”

“Yes, I came to America to meet Arthur first. I'm sorry I'm late. ”

“It's okay, it's not that late. ”

“Wow, we've grown our understanding of Kiska. ”

“Hehe, really? ”

“Yes, I'm an adult! ”

“Hehe, thank you. Are you going to rest now? ”

“No, after seeing Arthur, I feel like I need to get started quickly, so I'm going to start right away. ”

“Don't overdo it. There's still time. ”

“Yes, thank you for your concern. ”

“You said the first song was called Water Song, right? ”

“Yes, it is. ”

“If it feels like a healing song... I'm sure it'll work." ”

He smiles quietly as he notices what Kiska has to say.

“Yes, I'm going in. ”

“…… hmm. ”

“Don't worry, I have no feelings for Shizuka. ”

“…… really? She's beautiful.”

Gun said with a deep smile.

“You're prettier. ”

I heard no sound, but I smiled and said the obvious thought of Kiska was holding my mouth against it.

“Then I'll work on it. I'll talk to you before I go to bed. ”

“... Yes! ”

Somehow, when I heard Kiska's reply, I hung up the phone and looked through the empty wasteland. Sitting on the bed with both legs, the gun with the forearms shakes its head vigorously and slaps its cheeks with both hands.

“Load more emotions later! Let's start with three things! ”

When I wrote down the words for the design in the misdirection, I started writing like a doodle on the top of a sheet of music.

‘First, let's start with green, meaning forest, safety, rest, peace, and rest. It's blue at the end of the music, which means decreased pulse rate, relieved fatigue, decreased anxiety and insomnia, and orange at the end of the music means restored vitality and treatment of the disease, so you can start comfortably and finish with music that means mental healing, right? ’

As soon as I got my attention, I wrote a musical note. I chew and ponder with my pen in my mouth, and sometimes I don't stop to write a musical note. When I was concentrating on my mind, the members of the guarded group, as usual, were guarding the outhouse with machine guns.

Today, exactly three years old, Stanislav Chertsov, who came to America as Red Keslo, was a strong man, 29 years old this year.

At the meetings every morning, members of the organization who were instructed to move up the security rating on the case were more concerned about the boundaries of the detachment than usual, and Stanislav Chertsov also put them behind the boundary to implement the instructions.

I saw a few bats landing on the roof in his eyes with a large star-spangled wheel.

Even though I used to think Stanislav Cherchesov was a little unorthodox because I could see bats flying from nearby forests occasionally, the number of bats sitting on the roof felt strange from above the heat and looked up at the roof.

Stanislav Chertsov picks up a small stone from the floor and throws it onto the roof, noticing the bats looking at him as though they were sitting on the rooftop, not one or two.

“Heave!! Get the fuck out of here! ”

I didn't get hit directly by a bat, but I threw a stone at a distance that could be intimidating enough, but the bats didn't waver and were staring at Stanislav Chertsov.

Stanislav Chertsov looks up at the sky, trembling as if he saw the black eyes of an invisible white man.

Stanislav Chertsov tilts his head as he sees some bats flying over the roof that have not yet landed on the annex.

“Did bats build houses in nearby caves? What brings you to the group after you've seen only one or two of them? ”

Miroslav instructed me to report anything trivial.

However, Stanislav Chertsov, who thought it would be lucky if the bullets didn't fly if he reported that ten bats were sitting on the rooftop of the annex, turned his gaze away.

As he turns his head, the eyes of one of the bats on the roof glow blue.

The next day.

When I met Shizuka at school, I found the school cafeteria with her. As the two of them entered the restaurant, the noise of the students increased.

“Caeda……. ”

“Shizuka Miyawaki... Wow, she's really pretty. ”

Shizuka, who was recently active and used to people's gaze, took over for spaghetti and cutlets at the school cafeteria.

“Ta-da!!! ”

Shizuka, who put the dishes out of her shopping bag in addition to the school's class, looked at the reaction with an excited eye. As if he had lived up to his wishes, the gunshot grew resilient.

“Wow! What's all this? ”

“Hoho, I've made kimchi. ”

The gun picked up a cabbage kimchi and opened its eyes wide.

“Kimchi? Do you have kimchi in Japan? ”

“Of course, just like Japanese food is easy to eat in Korea, Korean food is easy to eat in Japan. It's spicy, but it's a must-try when you go to a Korean restaurant. Hoho, try it. ”

“Hold on, Kevin. Let's eat together when he gets here. ”

As soon as the horse runs out, it's near the entrance. When Kevin became famous for his Montana activities and Fury's success, he was more enthusiastic about what he saw every day at school and how he saw Shizuka.

“Gaaaaahhh!! It's Kevin!”

“Wooooo!! Montana!!"

When the students who purchased the CD took the record out of their bags and waved for autograph, Kevin smiled and signed it, looking at himself in the corner and Shizuka, waved his hands.

“Hey! Wait a minute. ”

Kevin, who had responded to the students' request, came to the table smiling awkwardly, realizing he wasn't a student of Julius.

“Haha, what's all this? Is Shizuka good?”

“Yes! I'm good at it. ”

Seeing two people who looked kind, Shizuka asked.

“Huh? That's comforting for both of you. ”

Kevin smiles and looks at Shizuka.

“Yeah, I got along a lot without you. ”

When I saw Shizuka's notice, I felt the two of them became very close, smiling and lifting my thumb.

“Yes, stay close. But Shizuka, are you going to talk comfortably to Kevin and keep talking to me like that? I don't deserve this. ”

Shizuka stammers noticeably.

“Th-that's not it……. ”

“Haha, I'm kidding. I hope someday you'll feel comfortable with me. Let's eat! It looks delicious. But what is this fish? ”

The three people who were enjoying the meal laughed and talked. After a long meal, Kevin wipes the fried crumbs off his mouth.

“Dad, let's eat for a long time. ”

He smiled and nodded as he imagined that every American president would come to eat with a speech like his neighbor's, and Kevin looked at Shizuka.

“Take me with you. ”

“Huh? Me too? ”

“Yes, he wants to see you. ”

“Why?”

“Oh… that………. ”

Suddenly, Kevin blushes.

“Well, you just want to see my friends. He hasn't talked about his friends since middle school, but he's been wondering since he talks about you guys a lot. ”

Knowing Kevin's mind, Shizuka secretly winks at him. Shizuka looks worried as Kevin looks at the signal and blushes.

“He's a friend of the father, but he's a bit of a burden to the President of the United States. What should I wear? ”

“Well, you can just go back to the way things were. I think I'm just going to see my dad. ”

“Where are you going to eat? It's the White House.”

“Well, that's true. ”

“I'm just going to wear a dress to the White House... Should I wear a dress? ”

“I'd appreciate it if you'd put it on... No, no, no, no, no. Put something on. ”

Listening to the conversation of the two people burst into laughter.

“Puhahahaha!! Kevin, what are you doing? ”

It was Kevin who made a scary face with his eyes that he thought it was strange to burst a smile suddenly.

After a long smile, Kevin looks at Shizuka's mouth as if to ask why.

“Are you recording today? ”

Whether he was still sick from smiling or holding his belly underneath, he put tears in his eyes.

“Hehehe, let's just grab the foundation skeleton. ”

As soon as the music story came out, the topic quickly switched. Since all three of them were now professional enough, a serious debate immediately unfolded.

When Shizuka heard about the concept of music, she heard about the woman she met in Chicago and nodded, stealing her tears.

“Many people suffer from physical illnesses, but more people suffer from mental illnesses, and I definitely want to play that music. ”

Kevin nodded and agreed, and then the case stood up and cleared the bowl.

“Then let's get started. ”

As the three people left the restaurant, the number of students blindly followed them as they passed the hallway.

Kevin, who couldn't eat well in the restaurant for the first time, puts his hands in his trouser pockets with a relaxed smile, and Shizuka steps up to the side of the case and kisses his feet.

When the three people entered the second floor practice studio and closed the door, students who were taking hard photos pushing their cell phone cameras left Ur School chattering.

One of the students who posted a photo to SNS chatted about them at the front of the school and shouted a sharp, annoying scream.

“Ouch!! What the hell!! ”

There was white liquid on the phone he was holding. The impressed student looked up at the sky and said with puzzled eyes.

“What, in broad daylight, when bats……. ”

Other students approached him and burst into laughter.

“Hahaha, is that bat poop? That's disgusting!! Khahaha.”

The impressed student swung his phone like he was going to put bat poop on his friends' clothes, and the smiling students ran away.

The guard, smiling at the appearance of bright students, raised his hand to the waist dance as he saw a few bats flying in the air in bright daylight.

“This is all because of the pollution on Earth, the nocturnal bats roaming from day to day, but the world is falling apart. ”

The guard kicked his tongue, clearing out the bat poop that had been thrown in front of the school's front door with a cleaning kit.
