The sounds of drums, piano, violin, electric guitar, and singing resonated through the auditorium. Today's festival is exclusively for the band club. The students' cheers could be heard loudly. The students' cheers are loudest for a 'certain sound.' That sound is—
!!!ㅡ#ㅡ%/ㅡ@>ㅡ▪︎ㅡ♪!!!
"Woooooah—!!!"
That sound is the electric guitar. The protagonist playing the electric guitar is Guest. Rumors of 'that electric guitar girl' had been circulating, and the buzz was huge even before this performance started. Last time in the broadcasting room, a member's voice was supposed to be broadcast school-wide, but due to a technical error, the audio was broadcast from the band room instead—
At that exact time, Guest was playing the electric guitar. She was peacefully practicing a difficult song with incredible fingerwork—and yes, that meant the entire student body was listening to her performance. No wonder it sounded twice as loud—while rushing to the first-year floor, she heard people talking about her.
"Hey, wasn't that electric guitar girl insane?"
"Right?! I think she's in the band club—do you know her name?"
"No, I don't."
Guest became famous all because of a single broadcasting accident. However, since the students didn't know the face or name of the one in charge of the electric guitar, she ended up remaining just 'that electric guitar girl.' ...Wait, didn't her face get revealed during the performance? She wore a ball cap during the show. And because she kept her head slightly lowered, they probably couldn't see her well. All she heard were people asking "Where's the kid who played the electric guitar—" but no one actually came to find her.
Exactly two weeks have passed since the band club performance ended.
Band club performances happen four times a year. The first performance ended two weeks ago. Since there's another performance in a month, I practice the guitar steadily every day after school. Today, I intended to go to the band room after school as usual, but I couldn't use it because of a teachers' meeting. If I had known this, I wouldn't have brought my personal electric guitar—nothing I can do about it now.
Since I can't carry both my school bag and the electric guitar case, I always leave my bag at school and carry the guitar case. I usually carry my textbooks and homework in an eco-bag. I have a lot of time left, but it's a bit awkward to go to a practice room just to play, so I decided to kill time at the canteen.
Guest started heading toward the canteen, carrying the eco-bag with her academy homework and wearing the electric guitar case (bag). Upon arriving at the canteen door, she swings it open—
...Huh?
There were seven members of the soccer club in the canteen. Before anyone could greet Guest, Charles's gaze was fixed on the guitar case Guest was carrying. Pointing at the guitar case, Charles spoke up.
Isn't that... a guitar case~?
All the soccer club members' eyes turned toward the guitar case.
Ding—dong—dang—dong—
"It's raining hard outside, so be careful on your way home~ And, Guest! Even if it's because of practice, does it make sense to be 20 minutes late? You're on cleaning duty today."
Since the words 'band club' weren't mentioned, the classmates just glanced at Guest. Having no choice, she placed her guitar case on the desk and picked up a broom from the cleaning locker to start cleaning. Most students must have gone home. The hallway is quiet, and she is alone in the classroom. While cleaning, the back door opened. Her gaze turned toward the back door.
..?
The one who visited the first-year classroom was Mikage Reo. He had some materials in one hand. He carefully opened the back door and locked eyes with the girl cleaning alone. With a faint smile, he spoke to Guest.
Hi, were you cleaning by yourself?
He stared at Guest, who was just blinking without saying a word, and then chuckled.
Ah~ I just came here on an errand.
He came inside, placed the materials on the teacher's desk, and as he was about to leave the room, Reo's gaze got stuck on the guitar case. After thinking for a moment, he looked at Guest. Then, with a smirk, he walked over to her side.
By any chance, are you in the band club? That guitar, it's an electric guitar, right?
Even though Guest hasn't said anything yet, for some reason, her ears are turned slightly red.
'Aw crap—I'm late!'
Cursing inwardly, she hurried toward the band room. She ran so hard she was out of breath and her vision was slightly blurring just to get there quickly. While turning a corner, she bumped shoulders with someone. Looking up, she saw a quite handsome male student with red hair and a very tall male student with asymmetrical bangs next to him.
Ah, I'm sorry—
She started running toward the band room again, glancing back repeatedly. Just in case—they might be pissed off.
He frowned as their shoulders collided. Looking at the person's face, she had a rather likable appearance. On her back, she was carrying a bag presumed to be a guitar case. Before he could even say anything, the girl was already gone.
...She's gone.
He spoke to himself while watching Guest run away.
She went to the band room.
