Munechika took the notebook and pen from the bartender and quickly drew the staves of Moment of Love on it. He glanced at the band's instruments, made a few strokes to adjust them, divided them into several versions, and took the notebook to find the band's leader.
Resident bands are usually very accommodating to this kind of request. After discussing and trying it out, they felt that it seemed like a possibility.
"Can I invite you to sing after the store is fully opened? The manager will pay you." The band leader asked with a smile, wearing punk clothes.
Munechika, who originally planned to sing directly instead of waiting to go on stage, turned around to look at Nakahara Chuuya who was sitting at the bar and nodded with a determined look on his face.
Although the cash on hand is enough to pay off the debt, it doesn't hurt to earn a little extra money just in case.
He actually likes money very much.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been seduced by a scout and wanted to enter the entertainment industry when he was still in junior high school.
In order to let Senku-kun do experiments freely, he wanted to make a lot of money.
"That's your elder brother? He has such a nice temperament."
Munechika was startled: "Why do you think he is your brother?"
They look alike and are the same height, so it's no surprise that they are mistaken for brothers or twins, but why is Nakahara Chuuya the older brother? He still uses the term "big brother".
"Isn't it? Sorry, he looked mature, so I just took it for granted."
"It's okay...just call me when you need to go on stage later." Munechika didn't explain. He pushed up the brim of his hat, smiled at him, and turned to look for Nakahara Chuuya.
"Have you agreed?" Seeing Munechika coming over, Chuuya Nakahara pushed a plate of fried squid toward him.
"Yes, they said that you can go on stage in a while." Munechika sat down and took one. He looked along the line and noticed the cup next to Nakahara Chuuya. "Cocktail?"
"Snap." Dazzling colorful spinning lights were spinning in the venue.
There weren't many customers at this time, but some young people dressed too maturely gathered in the store. Some even went up to the band to request songs and sang without any fear while standing on the stage.
Neither of them paid any attention to the environment.
"Would you like to have a taste?" Nakahara Chuuya nonchalantly held up the wine glass in one hand and handed it over. The mouth of the glass was slightly tilted, and the layered wine inside had a different kind of beauty under the colorful light.
Munechika stared at the wine, his eyes eager to drink. He pursed his lips, restrained his impulse, and shook his head: "I'm going to sing later."
"Can I have a glass of water? Room temperature?" he asked the guy at the bar.
Soon a glass of water fell in front of him.
shop
Guests have gradually started to arrive and the atmosphere is warming up.
"How does it feel to sing?"
For a moment, Munechika thought he had misheard, but he quickly thought about the problem, turned his head and looked at Nakahara Chuuya, and smiled casually. At this moment, he no longer restrained his own light, becoming extremely dazzling and eye-catching.
“The singing is great, I like it very much.”
“Really?” Nakahara Chuuya looked away and put the wine glass he had been holding to his lips. His sleeves were rolled up, and his hand holding the goblet was obviously bony. The light reflected by the wine scattered on his wrist.
He lowered his eyes and took a sip of wine.
As expected, Munechika is an idol as well as a singer.
Therefore, even if they know that the Port Mafia is a mafia, they may not know what it is doing here.
The last time Munechika blocked his attack, it was because he didn't use any superpowers with his fists. It was normal for him to be able to block it since Munechika used his superpowers.
It seems that there is no need to use force in the other party's world.
Even the leader has become the president of an entertainment agency, so it must be quite peaceful there.
Unlike here...
During the time that Munechika was in this world, Nakahara Chuuya felt that in addition to taking in this visitor from another world, he also needed to pay attention to the safety of his other self.
From the time he met him until now, the other self is good-tempered and polite. He is calmer than Dazai when facing him, but more like a teenager at other times, more youthful than mature. He is dazzling, especially when talking about performances and singing, he is so positive that it is easy for people to realize that they have different growth trajectories.
Perhaps it was because Munechika was the least guarded when facing Nakahara Chuuya, so Nakahara Chuuya easily touched upon the deeper aspects of Munechika's character.
They are still similar.
Therefore, the existence of those differences is like a black spot on a white paper, becoming particularly abrupt.
The atmosphere was completely heated up.
There were also some main dishes prepared in the bar, but neither of them ordered any.
Someone touched Munechika's arm in the dim light. Munechika looked over and saw that it was a shy member of the band. The other person pointed to the stage, and Munechika nodded in response.
After saying something to Nakahara Chuuya, he walked up to the stage.
Munechika didn't notice that after he left, Nakahara Chuuya raised his head and put down his wine glass, and his eyes looking at the stage changed from indifference to concentration.
In such a small venue, at such a loud volume that hurts the ears, rock music can guide people's heartbeats. Every beat of the drums seems to hit people.
The electronic prelude is more like an electric current crawling through the human spine, until the person on the stage picks up the microphone and accumulates all of this to a peak.
Even though the song didn't fit the atmosphere of the bar, the crowd still cheered enthusiastically because it was so nice and exciting.
This was the first time that Nakahara Chuuya heard the prelude of this song since leaving the leader's room.
The live broadcast initially appeared on the Internet after several screen flashes, so the only video clip of the performance was the second half.
I have to say, as long as he lets go of the anger of being imitated and finds out that this is not the case, Nakahara Chuuya can face his feelings about this song calmly.
In fact, it was just as he had heard it.
...I quite like it.
"The younger you are, the more you forget. The more you think, the more you are."
I want to forget you gradually, until I can't remember anything about you.
The bar environment became stuffy due to the large number of people. Perhaps because of this, the person on the stage threw away his hat and flicked his hair which was a little messy due to the action. The light sweat slightly wet the hair, making it no longer light. This style has a unique new charm.
From then on, the cheers seemed to be missing a few of the loudest voices.
"Happy floods, full of desires."
In a flood of joy, everything is swallowed up.
Something seemed to flash by, so fast that it was less than half a second. Nakahara Chuuya, who noticed the abnormality, stood up with his pupils shrinking.
The person on the stage seemed to be still singing unconsciously, with beads of sweat sliding down his chin, down his neck and into the cleft of his collarbone. Using his hand holding the microphone as a contrast, Nakahara Chuuya clearly saw that Munechika had become translucent for a moment.
He took a deep breath, unsure if he had seen it wrong. Just as he was about to look again, he noticed something moving at the edge of the stage out of the corner of his eye.
"ah--"
The lights exploded, the singing was interrupted, the music was still playing but was accompanied by the sound of something collapsing, and the crowd screamed and panicked.
Something happened.
Before the last light went out, Nakahara Chuuya was sure he saw someone rushing onto the stage.
“Pah.”
The owner quickly turned on the normal lights in the store. Fortunately, the colored lights and incandescent lights were separate.
This allowed Nakahara Chuuya to see the chaotic stage, the panicked band members, and...Munechika's original position was now empty.
Nakahara Chuuya's face darkened.
very good.
very good.
