Devil's Music
[361] Chapter 63 The Song of Water (10)
Four days after emailing Arthur the guitar part recordings, Arthur, who flew in from the UK for the first time today, held the door hook to open the school studio door and solidified his face to the shouts from inside.
“What? What's the first person to join today? ”
When you hear Kevin shout, you are about to open the door, and you rest again in Shizuka's sharp, calm voice.
“No, hello, what are you doing hanging out with Kay's music? Are you qualified? ”
I don't know anything else, but I found that Shizuka who only takes music seriously raised her voice and opened the door.
Kevin's face turned red in the practice room, and Shizuka sits in front of the gun, anxious to see if she might have noticed him raising his voice.
Arthur looks apologetic, looking at the matter, wondering if he didn't think the opponent would be this angry.
I looked around at the three people for a moment and opened my mouth.
“What's going on, Kevin? ”
Kevin stammers, surprised by his usual appearance, when he is asked in a cold voice that is angry enough to fight with his own person.
“Oh, no…… that……. ”
Shizuka was also angry for the first time, so Arthur stood up and said, as he was very embarrassed.
“I'm sorry, it's my fault. ”
The gun makes eye contact with Arthur and asks.
“Tell me what's going on, Arthur. ”
“That's ……. ”
Arthur remembers what happened a moment ago.
Arthur, who entered the United States in a heartbeat just because he met the band, was busy launching a new product and didn't even listen to the guitar part notes sent by Gunn.
Arthur frowned slightly as he was wearing earphones and listening to music in a taxi from the airport to Julius.
“The beats... they don't fit finely, but the drums have to be recorded first, so there's nothing you can do. But that's amazing. I don't even think he's wearing a mattress. That's the kind of rhythm you have, Cady. ”
When Arthur arrived in Julius, he knocked in the practice room where he had known about the school of musical geniuses as if it were a village.
Knock, knock.
When he heard the answer to come in, Arthur opened the door and said, looking at the blonde man sitting on the floor.
“Oh, you must be Kevin. Arthur Hodgson. ”
Kevin looks at Arthur, noticing that he's a drummer. He gets up and laughs.
“Hello, good to see you. Kevin Winston.”
“Haha, take good care of him. ”
My first encounter with Kevin was pleasant. Kevin is a creature of comfort, so he quickly became acquainted with Arthur, and Shizuka who arrived soon became acquainted with Kevin's jokes.
The problem was after the story about music came out. Shizuka looks over the sheet and says with a slightly more serious face.
“Kevin, have you finished practicing? It's my first time in a band today. ”
Kevin scratches his head and shakes his head.
“No, it's a little weird. That's an easy one, right? Frankly, Fury is a lot more difficult. It's a slow song. But it doesn't seem to catch anything weird. I can't feel it. ”
Shizuka sighed deeply.
“Me too, I don't think it's that hard to play classical songs made by musicians. I can't even rehearse for a few days to set the mood right. ”
Kevin follows Shizuka's sigh and looks at Arthur.
“Did Arthur practice? Oh, there wasn't much time, was there? ”
Arthur says, pulling out a drumstick that gives me gas.
“I think we need to record the drums first. ”
Kevin clears his tongue as if it were some sort of natural sound.
“Of course, it's natural to record a drum on a music recording, because it's kay. It's a guitar recording, and Carlos can't do that. ”
Arthur shakes his stick and says nothing.
“There was a slight deviation in the rhythm. ”
Kevin and Shizuka raise their heads at the same time.
“Yes?”
“The recording Kay gave me to practice. There is a misrhythm, we need to record the drum first and then the guitar part again. ”
Kevin and Shizuka's eyes widen. Kevin, who could not stand to say that Kay was wrong, who was both their leader and their most revered musician, began shouting.
“What? No, you know who Kay is. Are you making that noise? ”
Suddenly, Kevin makes a statement, and Arthur drops his stick in shock. When Arthur looks at Shizuka, she looks at him and says in a sharp voice.
“I'd like to see if you're worthy of judging Kay. ”
Arthur raises his hands, looking at the two of them alternately.
“No, that's not it. I'm just talking about beats.... ”
Kevin shouts again.
“Isn't the beat music?! How dare you point that finger at Kay? Are you that good? ”
As the beating begins, Arthur is proud of it.
“Is Kay versatile? And I think, of course, that I'm a respectful musician, and I think that's a great musician, but if you play it, the beat might be off. Is it that big of a mistake to point that out? ”
“What!!? What's the first person to join us today? ”
“No, hello, what are you doing hanging out with Kay's music? Are you qualified? ”
At that time, I opened the door and looked at the three people with cold eyes.
“This is... this is it. Sorry for the disturbance, Kay. ”
When Arthur gets up and approaches Arthur with his head bowed, he taps his shoulder.
“Sit down, I didn't do anything wrong. ”
Kevin steps forward and shouts after Arthur has been defeated.
“No, you're just going to leave a drummer pointing the finger at the leader from day one? ”
Gun saw Kevin and Shizuka. Shizuka's eyes tighten and stares at Arthur like Kevin's.
“You two. Are you doubting me? ”
Shizuka was surprised by the unthinkable.
“Yes? W-what do you mean, we suspect Kay? ”
Kevin yells as if to say something.
“I trust you more than my mother! What's that supposed to mean? ”
The arm-wrestling incident said with a solemn expression.
“You two. He's my friend, isn't he? ”
“Of course!! Of course I'm your friend! ”
“Of course! The only two people who can tell me they're friends are Kay and Kevin. ”
When I saw two people shouting with one mind, I smiled and put my hands on Arthur's shoulder standing next to him.
“Yes, it's a drummer I picked that you believe in. Why did they pick it?”
Shizuka said in a small voice when Kevin hesitated.
“Y-you picked it... because you're good, right? ”
Kevin flinches at Shizuka's words.
“What kind of incompetent person is here? ”
Gun said with a bloody smile.
“Yes, they're all talented people, and even if they were, they wouldn't be together if they weren't. They might be sad, but it's the truth. ”
Shizuka and Kevin gave a cheerful nod because it might have sounded sad in some ways, but they also acknowledged their skills. When I saw those two, I grabbed Arthur by the shoulder and said,
“I'm not good at sizcada piano, nor am I better at groove bass than Kevin. ”
Kevin saw Arthur, who barely swallowed the words, "You can play better than me if you only want to."
“Then…… Arthur? ”
“Yes, I don't think I can play a more accurate beat than Arthur. That's why I brought Arthur. ”
“Aren't you the guy who makes watches? ”
“Yes, it is. He's the most accurate watchmaker in the world. ”
Kevin looks at Arthur with a slightly slumped face, and Arthur, a little older, reaches out first.
“I should have thought a little more and told you, but I had no idea. I'm sorry to offend you. ”
Kevin looks away, holding Arthur's hand.
“Oh... well, I'm sorry, too. ”
Arthur reaches out to Shizuka as well.
“I want to be your friend, Shizuka. ”
Shizuka clasps Arthur's hands and speaks in a crawling voice.
“Yes……. ”
When he saw the apple coming and going, he clapped his hands and said,
“Since this is our first time meeting, let's have a drink today! ”
Kevin, who glanced at the word "booze," woke up throwing away the bass guitar.
“Wooooo!! That's right, men get along with drinking! ”
Shizuka also quickly organized the sheet music and said with a playful eye when she saw it happen.
“I have more guests today. Maybe you can drink without circles. ”
Kevin yells excitedly.
“Wooooo!!! All right, call it what you will, drink it today, and we'll die! ”
“Hehe, let's see if you can laugh in two hours. ”
“What are you talking about! There's no one in the world who can beat me with a drink! ”
“Hehe, yes. ”
After school, four men headed to the Viking Club. The staff welcomed me to the VIP room for a long time, and as soon as the food and drinks that had been ordered started to come out, Kevin raised his beer and asked with an exhilarating tone.
“When is this guest coming? Is it one?”
“No, two. It's time to come in. ”
And that day, Kevin received a visit from . After being contacted, Snap Dog and Eminem come to the Viking Club to drink until Kevin's great-grandfather had passed away, and Kevin falls on his face on the table in less than an hour.
Then Arthur nods side-by-side with his hands on Kevin's shoulders.
“Mmmm... Stop giving me that, Snap... ”
Neminem crouches, crouching with his feet on the chair. Snap continued to drink, surprised by the increase in alcohol, and the only thing he could barely endure was the beer turning into whiskey, and soon he collapsed.
Intoxicated by the satisfaction of winning today, Snape draws a v. He looks at Nemenem with a pathetic look.
Everyone except Shizuka nodded and fell asleep. After Shizuka went to the bathroom for a while, she looked around at the sleeping people and said,
“Looks like Kay's band members are all set now, huh? ”
Neminem nods as he plays the game on his phone.
“Yes, if you've come to Drummer, it's done. ”
When Snape hears what he's muttering about sleeping with his head buried next to him, he asks with his ear closed.
“What? What's he talking about? ”
Neminem also reached out his head to the gun to see if he was interested in it, and he heard the sound of sleeping.
“Mmmm... I just need Kiska... now... Mmmm." ”
Snap, who was impressed, shrugs.
“Looks like you're not done yet. ”
