You only care about the strategy

Chapter 236 Give it back to me!

There is only one class on Monday afternoon, and school ends at 2 p.m.

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 I get older, there are more and more miscellaneous things.

There were people in the classroom downstairs in a hurry, and no one looked at him because of his brief stop.

Until he was knocked sideways.

"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, monitor?"

The elbow just now was not light. He thought it was that kid Hiroshi Fujita. He 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 expression. "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 left to others."

"It turns out that squad leader 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. The school stipulated that members must participate in clubs unless there are 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 who is doing nothing all day long."

The school radio rang out at the right time, the pleasant voice of Yusuke Yusuka, 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 "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 even forced a kiss on her when she was pretending to be a man, so there was no need to say anything more.

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

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

He was afraid that the matter would become public knowledge. After all, Kazuki Kobayakawa's identity in school was the president of the student union.

The two took the train to a musical instrument store near Mitsukoshi shopping mall called 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 guitar is listed as a separate skill, other instruments should also be able to gain skills.

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

As for skills, there are only two paths in front of you, one is to specialize, and the other is to just have a taste.

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

The middle-aged man loosened the strings on the guitar, removed the string pegs one by one, rolled 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 he last had the strings changed, but it had been two months since he had the guitar.

"May I ask what kind of strings the guest wants."

"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 based on the lyrics.

If you don’t learn music theory, you will never want to delve into it. I just don’t know what will happen after his guitar skills reach lv5, lv6, lv...

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

It is unknown at the moment.

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 brushing up on other musical instrument skills.

"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. 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 seems that the strings are indeed 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 and watched as the middle-aged man simply polished the frets with a polishing block.

Summer sweat stains the metal, but fortunately the wear is not serious.

Polishing, oiling, stringing...

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 it."

It's unusual to ask someone's name when caring for a guitar, but Kiri Shiina is not pretentious.

"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.

……

"Is it funny?"

When the two came out of the musical instrument store, the sky became dim again, heavy black clouds covered their heads, and the sun at noon seemed like yesterday.

Maybe it will rain in a quarter of an hour.

"Cough cough."

Shiina Kiri coughed slightly and did not answer.

"Is it funny that I ask you?"

Kobayakawa Kazuki felt angry and gritted his teeth and pressed again.

"How could it be... There are many kinds of emotions like laughter, I would say it's happiness, monitor, believe it or not."

Shiina Kiri turned to look at the girl with a red face.

Tsundere can be quite cute sometimes.

"go away."

The girl looked panicked at him and pushed him in desperation.

"It's a bit fierce." Shiina Kiri was not annoyed.

"Give me the guitar back!"

"I obviously didn't say anything."

"Give it back!"

"There is no reason to give someone a gift and then take it back."

The word "一木" was engraved on the inside of the guitar. In fact, when the long-haired middle-aged man asked his name, the young man must have guessed something.
