Calm down, calm down, Yuigahama Kazuya, please be careful, you must be calm. Although I have been suffering from the syndrome of "I will be depressed without Ogiso-senpai's comfort and then become helpless" in recent times, but if I put this state of my life in the presence of my senior

If I were to show it in front of me, I think it would be very likely that I would be judged as an idiot by my seniors and kicked away.

So, I just said with the most normal expression:

"Ogiso-senpai? It's been a long time since I came here to sing! Can I still use the box No. 21?"

However, when I tried my best to pretend that nothing was wrong, the senior's eyes were fixed on me. Nothing happened, right? I still have a little confidence in my ability to disguise myself, and I will never let it go.

She saw what was wrong.

"I always feel a little weird Kazuya! Even though I haven't come to sing for so long, you don't feel weird or anything?"

"It's not surprising, right? Senior must have been busy with part-time work recently! After all, he took so many days off a few days ago to teach me how to make chocolate chip cookies."

"Ah, Kazuya, you still understand this! You know, I was scolded by my boss. I was obviously a model employee before, so this result should be caused by you, right?"

Today, Ogiso-senpai seems to have more time. While leaning on the service counter casually, he really talks to me as usual. Of course, I am very satisfied with this situation.

It would be good for seniors to say a few more words, and even talk about Yukinoshita or Isshiki, or even the heavy hurt my sister has done to me.

But Obasan next door refused to let me go. In just three minutes, I had already received two hints from her eyes to me. She obviously knew Ogiso-senpai! It was obvious that there were no other guests to receive now.

Well, are you worried that Ogiso-senpai will chat for too long and affect your sales? Are you kidding me? There was no time when Ogiso Yukina didn't leave after singing for two hours alone. Do you need to be in such a hurry?

But I can't resist Obasan, because she is a regular employee and the person who supervises me. If she reports that I am wasting time chatting with customers, I feel that I will not be able to clear my name. I can't.

If you lose this part-time job, you must know that this part-time job is the most fragile and the most stable opportunity to contact me and Ogiso-senpai!

So, although it's a pity, I can only force out a business-like smile.

"I'm sorry, senior, it would be better if I take you to the private room! Sound-of-destiny seems to have released a live version of Rina Ogata's song recently. You can try the difference between the live version and the regular version!"

White-album and sound-of-destiny are like twin sisters. Mentioning one of the songs will easily remind people of the other song. Obviously the styles of the two songs are completely different, and the singers are also

They are different. The only connection is probably that they are the first and second winning songs in the same competition.

However, it seems that if you want to like these two songs, you have to like them both. This is the case for Ogiso-senpai, and it is the same for me after being introduced by him. Moreover, according to my accidental discovery, Kitahara-senpai seems to have also read the guitar scores of these two songs.

Coming.

Of course, when it comes to Ogata Rina's live version of sound-of-destiny, this is just an excuse for me to divert the attention of my seniors. If I don't use this method to attract Maiba's Ogiso Yukina, but just want to do it more simply If I let her into the box, she would definitely notice something was wrong with me - it's obviously Obasan's problem, not mine.

That Obasan probably didn't want to offend his senior, so he left this matter to me - of course, in a sense, this problem was caused by myself.

But to be honest, the effect of this sentence is still very significant, because after listening to my words, the senior's eyes clearly lit up.

"Really? Which concert of Ogata Rina is the live version? The one in Heisei 4, or the one in Heisei 9? Or is it earlier?"

Well, don't be so anxious. I don't know which live version it is, but you are too scary. It must be difficult to find video tapes for such an early concert. You mean... Have you seen it? Although the concert was held in the same age, the songs are still undoubtedly from the Showa era! Don’t always do things like this that seem to reveal your mental age!

I think if this is really the case, Hiratsuka Shizuka might have a chat with Ogiso-senpai, although that teacher would definitely not admit that he is that old.

"It was probably the time when the new song was just released, like an awards show or something?" I swear, I was just making up, because the release time of sound-of-destiny was early enough, you can find it in the Heisei era Resources, have you ever seen video resources from the Showa era?

But it turns out that I underestimated Ogiso-senpai. When she heard me say these words, her whole person who was originally sparkling became even more radiant - I mean her spirit became more uplifted.

"Really? Ms. Ogata was still very young at that time! Of course she was already a top artist. But how did you find the resources at that time? I only saw very blurry videos and the like, and The award ceremony at that time should also include Morikawa Yuki, right? So the white-album live was also there? If I am not mistaken, it should be the first time that Ms. Morikawa sang the white-album in public, right? It’s amazing! You can find such a remote resource for such an old song!”

No, no, no, you are better! God knows, senior, how you found this kind of resource that you thought was in the corner. I swear to God, I was just telling nonsense.

"Okay! It looks like I can have a good time singing today!" The senior stood up happily and walked straight to her exclusive box - Box 21. Well, I don't know about sound-of-destiny. When exactly is this live, but at least I have completed Obasan's mission, right? As for if something really goes wrong and seniors question it, that will be a matter of the future!

------------------------------Dividing line------------------ －－－－－－－－－－－

I finally tricked my senior into the box, and I suddenly felt empty. Why on earth did I do so much before? I obviously wanted to talk to senior for a while, right? Why did it end up being...

It feels like I have pushed my seniors away! I think I must be schizophrenic, definitely!

Under normal circumstances, I should quietly light a cigarette, blow out a cloud of smoke, and make a hesitant expression—Sorry, minors are not allowed to smoke.

Or, raise your head and look up at the bright starry sky at a 45-degree angle - ah, no, it's the shiny ceiling of the karaoke room. Although there are more lights on the ceiling, it looks no different from the starry sky - but the key point is

The thing is, this kind of self-depression will only be regarded as an idiot who is not sick.

Therefore, I think it is better to go to the bathroom to wash my face, and then cheer up and go to work - and then when I finish my part-time job, go home with my seniors, go home with my seniors, even if it is a detour, I must go home with my seniors.

go home!

But when I came out of the bathroom after washing my face, I saw the familiar red hair and the swaying dumplings - I swear I just thought this feature of my sister was more conspicuous, and it was definitely not because I had already compared my sister with her.

The dumplings are equal.

Having said that, it seems that I should feel a little guilty towards onee-sama. Because of Ogiso-senpai's coming, I seem to have forgotten about their group, even though I was still talking to the person named Yumiko just now.

.

"Ah, Xiaohe?"

My sister still looked surprised. Is it such a strange thing to meet me here?

But I think my appearance may be more embarrassing. Although my sister is not aware of it, I think it should be very embarrassing for my brother to be found working part-time, right? My brother has become the target of serving others, which should

Damage to my sister's image in the group.

Although this is something I just realized, I think this point is very important, so important that I regret admitting that I am Yuigahama Yui's younger brother. A younger brother who doesn't take care of his sister's face is not a good younger brother.

!

However, the more sensitive Sister Yui did not seem to notice this. Should I say that she is too kind and does not think that others will be biased against her because her brother is working, or that she has always been sensitive in this matter?

Did you suddenly become confused?

I tend to think it's the former point, because Yuigahama Yui is such a kind person, and I believe that even if she has the same idea as me, she will recognize me resolutely.

"Um, Xiaohe, I'm sorry for letting you see me like this."

My sister said to me timidly, with a somewhat flattering expression on her face.

No, there's something wrong. I should have said this to you, right? It's obviously me who has embarrassed you. What do you mean by "letting you see me like this"?

"Well, Xiaohe, don't be angry with Yumiko and the others! Yumiko is such a person. She is actually a very good person. She was just joking to you like that just now! It's just that her tone was a little strange when she spoke.

!" My sister said to me while rubbing her hands.

Well, I really didn’t expect that my sister would apologize to me because of the girl named Yumeko’s attitude towards me. To be honest, I don’t care about her anymore. I have to deal with even more unpleasant customers every day.

There are too many people like Yumeko, who can at best be called a Queen's disease patient with excessive self-awareness. The specific level is so different from that of Yukinoshita Yukino, who speaks viciously to me every day.

By the way, Yuigahama Yui can obviously handle Yukinoshita Yukino, but she can't handle Yumiko, which is really surprising! But this is the so-called one thing that brings down another thing!

Of course, I can be sure that in the box, my sister would definitely apologize to me for my somewhat face-to-face refutation of Yumiko just now, although I tend to think that the queen would not care about a small role like me, no.

Is he the somewhat tough brother of a maid? This should be what that Yumiko said about me.

"It's okay, Sister Yui, you're thinking too much! I won't have any objections to them because of such a trivial matter! If I were that kind of person, I would have been beaten by that Obasan next door.

Fired! You know, my industry is more or less a service industry. Being polite to customers is a basic need!"

"I see, hehe, I'm still a little worried that Xiaohe will complain casually like he does at school or at home when he's working!" My sister showed an embarrassed smile.

How is it possible to do this! I said that flexibility is necessary, and jobs are also necessary!

"It feels like Xiaohe has suddenly matured a lot after working part-time, and he doesn't need me to care anymore!"

No, no, no, although I have reservations about the first sentence, the latter sentence is complete nonsense. What do you mean I don’t need your care anymore? It’s obvious that I have always cared about you. Well, you always like to be in some strange places.

Show your sister style!

However, unfortunately, Yuigahama Yui's sudden "sister-like" feeling became overwhelming.

"By the way, Xiaohe, doesn't it matter if you go home from here alone? Don't you know how to take the tram? Can you find the way home?"

Please, if I can't do this, how did I go home for so many months before? My sister is an idiot, the biggest idiot!

"Sister Yui, if you are worried that you can't find your way back, I can help. Of course, I can understand if you want your friends to help."

"That's too much! Xiaohe, although it's my first time here, I still can't take the wrong train!"

You are setting a flag for yourself, a very dangerous flag!

"Besides, I will go back with Yuko and the others! Himina's home is very close to ours, so we will get off at the same stop, so there will be no problem!"

Well, I understand. When I was unsure, I immediately added others and strengthened my confidence. It was really good!

However, it’s great that my sister can go back with her friends. If my sister goes back with me, I won’t be able to go back with Ogiso-senpai, because let’s not talk about whether my sister knows Ogiso-senpai – she probably does. After all, it’s continuous

The two-time miss's total martial arts high score is not an exaggeration. The key is that the way I go home is not the same as the way my seniors took. This will definitely be exposed by my naturally stupid sister.

Of course, I am definitely not dissing Sister Yui, but as I said when I was forced to stay by Isshiki, this situation is rare, and the time with sister is very long, so we just

We should start with the rarer things, right?

"No problem, I will go back by myself."

I tentatively replied like this, don't worry while I do the work. You must know that the wonderful mother-in-law can entrust you to me. I can take care of you and me, not to mention that I only have to take care of myself.

It’s time, so don’t worry!

"Well, in short, I know that Xiaohe is working here, so from now on when we come to karaoke, we will all come here? Will it increase your turnover?"

I remember that Ogiso-senpai proposed this idea not long ago, so why are your ideas so simple?

"This shouldn't be possible. My job is hourly."
