Girl Band, Gravity Capture

Page 15

Except for one day when her mother unexpectedly came home for dinner and the girl spent the day with her mother, Nagasaki Motoyo spent the rest of her days at Minamoto Koto's house, and even felt that it was becoming more like home than her own house.

"Is this... a Roselia concert?"

She walked behind Yuan Xudou, gently placed her soft hands on the boy's shoulders, and leaned forward from his right side to look at the video playing on his phone.

Their faces were so close that the ends of her long brown hair brushed against the boy's cheek, and the girl's gentle voice rang almost directly in his ear.

"Xu Doujun, so you're interested in bands after all?"

"I wouldn't say I'm interested."

Yuan Xudou was already used to Nagasaki Motoyo's actions, which were a bit too intimate for a friendship. He just felt his face being tickled by her hair, so he tilted his head slightly to make room for her, and then answered casually.

"I recently promised someone I would form a band, and I'm just learning about it."

“Su Shi, if you’re interested, I can introduce you to Xiangzi. She’s the one who invited me, and she’s also in charge of the band members.”

really.

It wasn't that Genjiro was deliberately hiding his band activities from her; he simply hadn't mentioned it... Nagasaki Motoyo's last worry was relieved.

"Actually, I met a girl named Toyokawa Shoko at school today."

She frankly told Yuan Xudou this fact.

"She knew we were close, so she invited me to join the band, and I accepted."

"Oh?"

Genjiro raised an eyebrow slightly, once again feeling the wonder of the "arrangement of fate" that Toyokawa Shoko had mentioned.

“From now on, we’ll be members of the same band… I feel more at ease working with you, Su Shi.”

It seems that Toyokawa Shoko's judgment in choosing people is quite reliable. Gen Xudou has seen the video of Nagasaki Motoyo practicing in the brass band, and her skills are already well above average in the field of girls' bands.

However, for Takamatsu Akira, who has absolutely no musical background, starting the band at such a high level is not a good thing... Hopefully, Toyokawa Shoko will consider this.

"By the way, Xu Doujun, what role do you play? Guitarist or keyboardist?"

Toyokawa Shoko said she had already found these members, and Gen Xudou didn't seem like he would be willing to be the lead singer, so that would be one of the remaining two?

Nagasaki Motoyo asked with great interest, her slender, smooth, and flawlessly white fingers gently tapping on the boy's shoulder.

"neither."

"Ugh?"

She paused for a moment.

"That……"

According to Xiangzi, I was a "behind-the-scenes worker".

Nagasaki Motoyo's face showed almost the same confusion as Minamoto no Koto and Takamatsu Akari when they first heard the word.

"'Behind-the-scenes personnel'...? That's...?"

"Probably responsible for some of the band's offstage activities. Lyric writing, composing, scheduling, publicity management, and the like."

"Is that right?"

Nagasaki Motoyo felt that this was not bad, but at the same time she felt a little regretful.

The good thing is that this way, Won Heo-doo has more free time than the other members who have to perform on stage. She doesn't have to worry about interfering with his practice and can spend more time with him.

It's a pity that this way she won't be able to see Yuan Xudou's handsome appearance while playing the instrument...

Although she didn't have high expectations, Nagasaki Motoyo still asked casually.

"So, Xu Doujun, do you know music?"

"meeting."

Then, I received an unexpected answer.

Yuan Xudou's expression remained unchanged as he calmly uttered some rather shocking words.

"I know a little bit about most common musical instruments; I've learned them before."

"Huh? But... I haven't seen any musical instruments at Xu Doujun's house?"

Not to mention guitars and basses, which are relatively lightweight and can be placed in the bedroom... large instruments like pianos and drum kits could not possibly be hidden away completely, and even she, who frequently came and went from Yuan Xudou's house, did not find a single trace of them.

Nagasaki Motoyo believed that Minamoto no Kōdō wouldn't lie, which made her even more suspicious.

Could it be that, just like when we first met, she's hiding it using some unknown method...?

"I just sold them all when I moved, so I didn't bring them with me."

Nagasaki Motoyo, who was standing next to him, was practically radiating a sense of rambling thoughts. Genji Kōdō, who could probably guess what strange things she was thinking, promptly spoke up to explain.

"Sold?"

"Yeah. There was too much stuff, and it was too much trouble to move, so I just sold it all."

He described the instruments, which were actually in very good condition, as slightly damaged and sold them all at prices lower than the normal secondhand market price, as a way to help novice musicians who were not well-off.

"But... is it really necessary to sell them all? It wouldn't be much trouble to just take some of the instruments along..."

Nagasaki Motoyo subconsciously raised a question.

"Mainly because I thought I wouldn't need it anymore... I never expected to join a band now."

Yuan Xudou sighed, raised his free hand (the one not holding the phone), and gently touched Nagasaki Sue's slender hand that had unknowingly slid towards his chest.

The girl wasn't embarrassed when her little action was discovered. She maintained a gentle smile, and her fingertips naturally stopped on Yuan Xudou's slightly protruding collarbone, which was covered by his shirt. Her sweet voice showed no sign of anything amiss.

"Should we buy some more? Perfect timing, I also need to buy a bass for the band."

"I don't need it myself, and I probably won't have the chance to use it."

The boy gently shook his head in refusal.

"If all else fails, we can just borrow the instruments from the practice room."

"...Same."

As a sense of disappointment swept through Nagasaki Motoyo's heart, Genji Koto seemed to have not yet finished speaking.

"However, I'm thinking of buying some furniture recently. If you want to come with me, there are also musical instrument stores nearby."

A thoughtful expression appeared on Yuan Xudou's face.

“Beth… I haven’t studied it in depth.”

"Then you'll have to choose for yourself..."

"Xu Doujun~"

Nagasaki Motoyo suddenly wrapped her arms tightly around the boy's neck, interrupting him in a cheerful tone.

Let's put the topic of bass aside for now... Going out to pick out furniture together is something only close family members do!

"...Why are you suddenly so agitated?"

"Hmph~ Anyway, Xu Doujun is willing to go out with me, right?"

Before answering, Gen Xudou twisted his neck slightly, looking a little uncomfortable. But Nagasaki Motoyo only relaxed a little, showing no intention of completely letting go.

He was so close that he could even smell the faint, elegant fragrance emanating from Nagasaki Motoyo.

...So soft, and so fragrant.

The slightly bewildered boy gave up struggling, silently nodding as he sensed the undisguised expectation emanating from Nagasaki Motoyo.

"of course."

Having gotten the answer she wanted, the girl released her hand with satisfaction, her rosy cheeks beaming with joy.

In her excitement, she made such a bold move. Nagasaki Motoyo felt her heart beating a little fast, and her earlobes were starting to feel slightly hot.

"Well, I'll go home and change my clothes first."

This was their first official date... though Xu Doujun probably wouldn't think so.

However, the girl still had high hopes for it.

Chapter Sixteen: Tying the Ribbon Connecting Us with Our Own Hands

The warm spring sunshine gently falls, selflessly spreading light.

The towering buildings in the city cast shadows onto the bustling crowds on the streets. Between that line of light and shadow, busy office workers and carefree students brush past each other. Past and future, similar yet different people attend each other's lives.

Wearing a carefully chosen snow-white dress, Nagasaki Motoyo, who looked more conservative and dignified than usual, and Gen Xudou, who wore a shirt and black windbreaker on his upper body and jeans on his lower body, looking refreshing and clean, were mingling in the middle of the crowd.

At this moment, the girl was holding his arm. The two, who were both outstanding in figure and appearance, seemed like a match made in heaven, constantly attracting curious or envious glances from others.

Nagasaki Motoyo thoroughly enjoyed the feeling, while Genjiro Tou didn't care about other people's gazes. So even though they were being watched, the two remained calm and slowly walked into a high-end furniture store in a large shopping mall.

"By the way, Xu Doujun, what kind of furniture do you want to buy?"

"It's probably about adding things to make life more convenient, like dishwashers and robot vacuums."

Yuan Xudou turned his head to look at the girl beside him who had been smiling ever since she stepped out of the room.

"Su Shi, if there's anything you feel you need, you can buy it too."

"For example, there's only one sofa, which might be a bit inconvenient..."

Nagasaki Motoyo immediately objected, her eyes resolute.

"Not at all! I think one sofa is more than enough."

"...Okay, then let's not buy it."

The two discussed and ordered the furniture they needed from the store. Yuan Xudou paid by card and waited for the installation to be completed soon.

—More and more couples are carefully managing their shared home, creating a sense of familiarity.

Realizing this from the gazes of those around her, the girl's smile grew even brighter.

The furniture purchase was completed smoothly and in not much time. Nagasaki Motoyo wasn't in a hurry to choose the bass she needed, so she suggested that since they were both free today and the weather was quite nice, they should continue their previous agreement and go out shopping together, and then have dinner when it was almost time.

Having already prepared to spend the day with the girl, Gen Xudou naturally wouldn't refuse.

The two strolled from the mall to the street, and then back to the mall. Nagasaki Motoyo's shopping skills as a young girl were on full display, accompanied by Minamoto no Koto.

The only difference from normal circumstances was that the girl focused all her attention on the other person.

She led Genjiro through the shops, carefully selecting items she thought would suit the boy. From belts to suits, from handbags to ties, Nagasaki Motoyo, a woman, meticulously judged the quality of men's clothing, doing things she had never done before, and enjoying it immensely.

Even though Genjiro didn't accept all her suggestions in the end, and only symbolically accepted a belt, the girl was still very happy.

Because, from beginning to end, he never showed any sign of annoyance, and always cooperated earnestly, accompanying her as she did these things.

“Hey, look at that jacket over there. It looks really good on you…”

Once again, using the same excuse, Nagasaki Motoyo brought Genji into the shop. She picked up the jacket hanging on the rack with great interest, listened to the shop assistant's introduction for a while, and then turned around to find that the boy had disappeared from the shop at some point.

She chased after him in a panic, thinking that her actions had finally angered him.

Just as regret and unease filled the girl's heart, Gen Xudou quietly appeared beside her, holding a light blue ribbon in his hand.

The boy spoke softly to the somewhat bewildered Nagasaki Motoyo.
