Really? I thought it wasn’t enough yet

Takeshiba-senpai speaks in a low tone.

What did you say? Bitch! For rockers, their hairstyle is their expression of resistance! The school festival is coming, and we were going to show the best performance you know, despite that, shaving their heads like that means that we can’t show up anymore!

Hirasawa screams in anger.

Are you stupid? Lockers are just a place to put your luggage in, that’s all it needs to do! Why does it need to resist?

Don’t make it a fucking joke!

Yeah, nice gag.

What I’m talking about is the spirit of rock! Rock Musician. It’s a problem with our hearts!

Oh, what part of you is rock music?

Takeshiba-senpai laughs.

The sports club members who have been watching the situation all laughed.

Hey, bitch, don’t look down on me

Hirasawa said.

Just so you know, I’m so devoted to rock that last Summer Comiket, I cosplayed as Michel Pornaleff!

Comiket? Cosplay?

hirasawa-san, you never mentioned that

Shut up, don’t say anything else! Mugi!

Hirasawa shouts at the other guy whose hair is badly shaved.

Furthermore, I cosplayed as Pornaleff, and yet, the people who approached me asks me Is that Donra? Stupid people! Don Frye is a wrestler! Despite that, they were so noisy about Donfra, donfra that when I told them that it’s Pornaleff, they replied, That’s not Pornaleff! They make me angry!

Err.

So, I intend to cosplay as Eminem for the winter Comiket!

Hirasawa-san, don’t do that either

Another shaved guy from the light music club said with a sad tone.

I’m sorry but I have no idea what you’re talking about

Captain Takeshiba shows a disgusted expression.

Also, I’ve got one question. Is Michel Pornaleff in the rock genre?

Wait, that’s your question?

Even I know Tout tout pour ma chérie. Brass bands use it to cheer for soccer teams and such!

it’s rock for me! It’s the rock soul!

Hirasawa shouts.

Now, I remembered! you destroyed their instruments! To Musicians, their instruments are their life! The face for tools! How can they continue living now that you destroyed them!

Then let them die

Takeshiba-san.

If you can’t live anymore because your musical instrument got destroyed then you should just die

She laughed.

you bastard!

Hirasawa shouts like a chicken.

you bastard! Sports clubs! You always take a huge chunk of the club budgets every year! Looking down on the cultural clubs!

Can’t help it. Sports clubs do a lot of activities and they all cost money

Light music club also costs money! O-O-Our club only gets 5000 yen from the school’s club budget!

I mean, we carry the name of our school during tournaments. As for you guys, you just do some pretend bands It’s just a hobby, a pastime

Captain Takeshiba drives Hirasawa to the wall.

It’s not a hobby! It’s our expression of our life!

Wow, it’s my first time seeing someone stamp their feet in frustration

I’ve had enough. You’re too noisy, so, in the end, what do you want with us?

Takeshiba-san got fed up and said.

Here are my demands. First; you have to repay the musical instruments you destroyed! You have to buy the same thing! Second! You have to supply them with their wigs for their performance! We have no time until school fest!

I refuse!

Takeshiba-san replies.

That’s the end of our talk. What a waste of time. Now, hurry up and go back to your training!

Takeshiba-san told the girls, but.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait! Fucking wait!

Hirasawa rushes towards Takeshiba-san’s front.

Huh? You still have something to say?

Don’t just end the conversation like that, you bastard!

So, you won’t get it unless I beat you up and shave your head?

Takeshiba-san said, but.

i’m a man of no consequence! My show of defiance is without resistance! Kazumasa Kanshin!

Sorry but I don’t have much time so I’m gonna shove you away

Don’t ignore me! You make me look like an idiot!

No, you already are.

Then.

So, in the end, are you strong?

Edie asks from the side.

strong?

I mean, as a musician? You said a lot of things, but if you’re not even skilled, that’s just not cool

She smiled.

That’s right, you talk about the rock soul, and yet, if you can’t even play it right, then that would be boring

Apart from Comiket, have you guys ever done a live concert?

You didn’t even leave an impression during last year’s school festival

The boys from the sports clubs said.

You don’t have a guitar anymore, right?

Err.

Hirasawa’s confused.

Hirasawa-san has a guitar in the clubroom. Should I bring it over?

One of the bald members asked Hirasawa.

Shut up you stupid Mugi!

He tried to cover his mouth in a hurry.

Err, this guy’s a second year, he’s Kotomugi Mugi. His parents are fans of Yellow Ranger, and Dirty Pair, and so they named him like that

You won’t fool me with that

Takeshiba-senpai smiled.

That’s interesting. This girl’s right, why don’t you play some tune for us? You keep talking about the rock soul, that the instrument is your soul and all the other big stuff, but unless you’re skilled with it, things won’t end nicely you know Hirasawa-san, should I bring over the guitar?

You idiot! Don’t bring it over, Mugi!

Then.

I have a guitar here

One of the girls in the sports club said.

It’s just an acoustic one from the hiking club though

I have the keys to that clubroom

Bring it, bring it!

The girls run to the second floor.

Then, they came down with a guitar case.

Here, Takeshiba-senpai

Thanks, girls

Captain Takeshiba opens the guitar case and then brings out the musical instrument from the inside.

Yeah, this has strings

Then, to Hirasawa;

Try playing something

She pushed it on him.

Ueeh!

Hirasawa’s sweating all over his face when he received the guitar.

Hey, settle down everyone!

The students in the clubroom focus on Hirasawa.

hirasawa-san!

Now that it has come to this, show them Hirasawa-san’s secret technique

Do the legendary three fingerpicking, the one you always tell us

I’ve never seen it before though

The light music club members said. Hirasawa:

yeah.Watch this, dammit!

He accepted his fate and took the guitar.

Ah, one, two.one two three four!

Then.

Huh?

Everyone’s speechless.

Hirasawa’s music is, has an awkward tone

Hey, did you step on a cat?

The guitar?

It’s amazing in a sense

Yeah, you’re right.

Stupid! That’s not all!

The next thing he played is.

Donadona

It’s sad

I feel cold now

Hirasawa stopped playing.

Can’t help it! I’ll also do vocals! Usually, I just play my guitar!

He says in a panic.

Just so you know, I joined in a band that said Let’s make a band, then, let’s recruit everyone other than the vocals, but every other member other than me have a different musical sense, and so I left them

So he’s bad at vocals too.

That’s enough. We’ve had enough, don’t want to see your face anymore. Don’t ever show yourself before me again

Captain Takeshiba said with a harsh look.

No, I.

Don’t talk. I’ll kill you

Shit, it’s gonna be bloody if this goes on.

However.

Give me the guitar

Edie stretches her hand to Hirasawa with a smile.

you can play it?

Edie’s raised from an assassination cult in New Orleans.

People of various ages are there.

It won’t be weird if she knows how to play the guitar.

Besides, Edie’s a genius who can do anything.

I had a guitar back in America

She took the guitar from Hirasawa.

Huh? This is badly tuned
