"...By the way, the person next to me is our band's bassist, Nagasaki... Anyway, he's a very gentle person."
With a slight smile, Nakagawa Nobuyuki immediately introduced Nagasaki Motoyo, who was still staring at him blankly, and who was beside him.
It’s no wonder that Nagasaki Motoyo didn’t react... After all, she didn’t know anything about what Nakagawa Nobuyuki had just said.
“He’s actually an alumnus…”
Lisa Imai, who was leaning on the counter, smiled with some regret. The polite distance just now was suddenly shortened a lot.
"...Yukina and I went to the same high school as Hanega. I also play bass at Roselia. Hello, Nagasaki-san?"

Chapter 268 Intimate Photos.
After shaking hands with Lisa Imai for some unclear reason, Nagasaki Motoyo hadn't reacted yet. It seemed like just a moment had passed, and Nakagawa Nobuyuki had already called the two people in front of him "seniors".
And Imai Lisa and Minato Yukina suddenly discovered that Nakagawa Nobuyuki was the guitarist of the road show band that Sayo shared with them that day...
"...Speaking of which, I remember that the bassist in Xiao Xin's band...wasn't she a girl with blue hair?"
Lisa Imai held her chin with one hand and touched the head of Xiaoju who was lying on the counter with the other hand, and spoke with some curiosity.
Obviously, Lisa Imai was talking about the end of the band's road show that day, and the blue-haired bassist was naturally referring to Ryo Yamada.
"Oh... that one is [The Ending Band], and Nagasaki-san and I are in [It'SMyGO] - I'm in both of these bands."
Of course, Nakagawa Nobuyuki understood what Lisa Imai was saying. He immediately smiled and explained with a little pride.
"Always getting lost (Itsumo Miko) and "Band of Coils (End Band)" and the like... those are really unique names."
After hearing the band name that sounded like a cold joke from Nakagawa Nobuyuki, even though Lisa Imai knew it was not nice to laugh in such a place, she still looked away awkwardly, inevitably revealing a cute expression of trying hard to hold back laughter with curved eyebrows.
All I can say is that it's a good thing that Nakagawa Shin didn't mention Ave Mujica (homonymous to あべぶじか, meaning Abe Mujica), otherwise, with all three of them at the same time, Lisa Imai might not be able to hold back her smile.
However, on the other side, Minato Yukina, who had a confused look on her face, just blinked blankly, as if she didn't get the joke at all.
However, although he doesn't have much sense of humor, Minato Yukina still understands the difficulty of running two bands at the same time.
"…Being active in both places at the same time will affect the band's work."
Looking at Nakagawa Nobuyuki who had a somewhat proud look on his face, Minato Yukina frowned slightly and expressed his own doubts.
Music and the like... I have never felt such a tacit understanding and resonance with anyone other than Roselia. Even so, in my heart, Roselia is still a long way from what I want...
Is it really possible to take care of both by being active in two bands at the same time... If not, wouldn't it be delaying the music and other people in the band? Even if it can be done, it certainly won't be as pure as devoting oneself to one band, right?
"Yeah, no problem."
Unexpectedly, before Nakagawa Nobuyuki could speak, Nagasaki Suyo, who had been silent on the side, answered this question by twisting her hair and smiling.
Recently, when Miss Su Shi has nothing to do every night, she would quietly check the tweets of "The Myth of Sisyphus". Naturally, she also saw the roadshow video recorded on it, and even quietly gave it a like or something.
"Here, Nakagawa is working with another teammate to compose a song... Over there, Nakagawa is practicing guitar, which is pretty good."
Having said this, Nagasaki Suyo suddenly paused and spoke in a sweet voice.
"… Um, Minato-senpai and Imai-senpai~ During our summer vacation… we will have a live show at RiNG. It would be great if you could come and watch it then…"
Hehe, Xinxin was just playing the guitar over there... On our side, Xinxin... Nakagawa was the one composing music with us... We even stayed together every day, [Ending the Band] and stuff... How come the bond between us and Nakagawa was so close?
While smiling slightly, the memory of trying to perform Live in the practice room that day was still deeply rooted in Nagasaki Motoyo's mind.
With a live performance of that level, I don’t think this side will lose to [Ending Band]…
"Ahahaha... Xiao Xin is really amazing, don't you think so, Yuukina?"
Looking at the smiling Nagasaki Suyo, Imai Lisa, who had obviously realized something in her heart, immediately secretly tugged at the corner of Minato Yukina's clothes, and interrupted Minato Yukina who was about to say something with a smile.
Since [MyGO] can get a Live performance at RiNG... it means that the level is definitely not low. In addition, I have also seen the video of the roadshow, and Saya has shared this with me. Even at [End Band]'s side, the level of the roadshow is quite high.
At least for now, it seems that Nakagawa hasn't affected the band's work... and since Nagasaki from [MyGO] is protecting Nakagawa so much, it seems that he has a good relationship with everyone in the band.
"……Feel sorry."
At the same time, Minato Yukina realized that she seemed to have said something wrong. She was silent for a moment and apologized softly.
It should be said that Nakagawa Nobuyuki and Imai Lisa are quite similar. At least both of them don't want the conversation to suddenly become awkward. Even though they fully understand what happened, Nakagawa Nobuyuki pretends to be stupid and quickly tries to smooth things over.
"Why are you apologizing all of a sudden... Oh, by the way, Minato-senpai, if this place accepts donations, we also brought some things to donate."
Naturally changing the topic, Nakagawa Nobuyuki immediately bent down, picked up the cat litter and cat food that had just been placed on the ground, and placed them on the counter.
"Of course I'll accept it. If you can donate, it will be a great help."
Similarly, before Minato Yukina could say anything, Lisa Imai clapped her hands in tacit understanding, smiled and took the cat litter and cat food.
"Oh, by the way, Xiaoxin, and Nagasaki-san, you can take a picture with the cat before you leave~"
……
"Xiao Xin, see you next time~"
After saying goodbye to Lisa Imai who was hanging photo frames on the wall, and receiving a vigorous goodbye from Lisa Imai, Nakagawa Nobuka slowly walked out of the cat cafe with the blushing Nagasaki Motoyo.
On the descending elevator, Nakagawa Nobuyuki finally spoke with a twitching brow.
"Is it really okay to use that photo? It looks a bit weird."
Just now, when she learned that the donor could take a photo with the cat and hang it on the photo wall as a souvenir, Nagasaki Suyo, who was twisting her hair, suddenly spoke with a smile on her face.
"Um... can I use the photos I took?"
As she spoke, Nagasaki Suyo gently curled her hair with her fingers and turned to look at Nakagawa Nobuyuki.
“…Nakagawa, let’s just use the one we took together.”
The "one that we took together" that Miss Su Shi mentioned was naturally referring to the one that was taken at Miss Su Shi's house, where the two of them were almost touching each other...
The answer is of course yes, after all, there are indeed kittens and two people in this photo...
However, when the photos were actually printed and about to be framed, the guy with the red face was actually Miss Su Shi who made the request.
Especially when she saw the photo frame containing the intimate photo of the two of them was about to be hung up, Nagasaki Suyo almost immediately pulled Nakagawa Nobuyuki, obviously wanting to run away.
So as soon as he went out, Nakagawa Nobuyuki quickly complained about Nagasaki Suyo.
"...I, I didn't expect it to be like that..."
Nagasaki Suyo's pretty face blushed slightly as she argued for herself in a low voice.
After all, the photo was taken with Nakagawa Nobu's phone, so Nagasaki Suyo had never seen what the photo of herself and Nakagawa Nobu looked like... But when she went to print the photo, Miss Suyo saw herself in the photo... the smiling face with a slightly red face...
Especially, my head was slightly tilted, and it looked like I was about to lean on Nakagawa's shoulder... It was so embarrassing.
"But it's not that noticeable. After all, it looks like there are photos of couples and married couples on that wall, right?"
With a light sigh, Nakagawa Nobuyuki spoke softly.
What Nakagawa Nobuyuki meant was that the two of them did look quite intimate, and it might be a bit awkward to put them on the wall, so he just said it felt subtle.
However, when these words fell into Miss Su Shi's ears, they immediately took on a different meaning.
"...You, don't talk nonsense!"

Chapter 269: Miss Su Shi with a big forehead.
As soon as the two walked out of the mall's main entrance, they could immediately feel the scorching afternoon sun, which caused Nagasaki Suyo on the side to subconsciously raise her hand and cover her head like a hat brim, casting a small shadow on Bai Jie's forehead.
"It's still cooler inside..."
Nakagawa Nobuyuki sighed softly as he looked at the streets where the overall exposure was increased by one degree because the sunlight was too scorching.
Obviously, in various anime, movies and TV series, summer is a season full of romance and youth, as if it is naturally related to topics such as fireworks, love, and beaches, while winter must be as serious and empty as in "Snow Country"...
At the very least, it would be like in "Golden Kamuy"... involved in all kinds of conspiracies, secrets, and calculations, otherwise the all-encompassing heavy snow would seem to have fallen in vain.
"…Um, Shigaraki, could you please move your hand away for a moment?"
Thinking of this, Nakagawa Nobuyuki seemed to have thought of something, suddenly turned his head and asked softly Nagasaki Suyo in front of him.
"...?"
She tilted her head slightly. Although she didn't know what Nakagawa Nobuyuki was going to do, Nagasaki Suyo cooperated and moved her hand away a little... Then, she instantly knew what Nakagawa Nobuyuki was going to do. She raised her eyebrows, glared at Nakagawa Nobuyuki, and at once covered the hand she had just moved away.
“…Too much!”
Nakagawa Nobuyuki immediately pretended nothing had happened and looked away guiltily.
In fact, he wanted to see if Nagasaki Motoyo's forehead would reflect light... With such a big forehead, it's hard not to pay attention to this part.
Naturally, Nagasaki Motoyo was not a dull person. When she stayed at home, she watched a lot of animation dramas and so on. She immediately sensed Nakagawa Nobuyuki's gaze.
"Just curious."
With his hands in his pockets, Nakagawa Nobuyuki defended himself in a low voice, but... in front of Miss Su Shi's scorching gaze, he seemed a little too pale.
After hearing what Nakagawa Nobuyuki said, Miss Su Shi's cheeks puffed up slightly. Just when she was about to say something, she suddenly stopped and pursed her slightly raised lips as if she remembered something funny.
"…Curious?"
She tugged at the corner of Nakagawa Nobu's clothes, and the sound of her little leather shoes tapping gently in the dim light was quite crisp. Nagasaki Suyo lowered her voice and spoke in a low voice.
"Stand still for now."
Nakagawa Nobuyuki's intuition told him that if he stopped suddenly, he would definitely be tricked by Miss Nagasaki who was planning to play a prank on him.
But...
With a light sigh, Nakagawa Nobuyuki still stood firmly in his place.
There's nothing I can do. Who told me to come here today just to accompany Nagasaki out for fun?
“And bend over a little bit.”
I don't know what he found in his pocket. Nagasaki Suyo, with one hand behind his back, suddenly smiled and whispered. It was obvious that he was plotting something cute.
Of course, Nakagawa Nobuyuki cooperated and bent down slightly.
"…Bend down a little more."
She tiptoed a little and found it was still a little strenuous. Nagasaki Motoyo blinked and continued talking to Nakagawa Nobuyuki in front of her.
"What on earth are you going to do..."
While helplessly lowering his body a little, Nakagawa Nobuyuki complained softly.
“You’ll find out in a moment…”
With a slight smile, Nagasaki Suyo finally took out the mysterious thing from her pocket. Before Nakagawa Nobuyuki could see it clearly, her two little hands had already pressed on Nakagawa Nobuyuki's forehead.
Click, click.
Two crisp popping sounds that are unique to metal springs were heard.
Feeling the slight pulling sensation on his hair, Nakagawa Nobuyuki immediately knew what it was.
"… Just because I said something about my forehead, it's too much to make me have a big forehead… Besides, isn't my forehead exposed outside my hair?"
While complaining, Nakagawa Nobuyuki took out his cell phone and looked in the mirror.
"So ugly..."
The culprit, Miss Nagasaki Motoyo, who was covering her mouth, was looking at Nakagawa Nobuyuki, who had two pink hairpins on his hair, and was smiling secretly with her hands covering her mouth and her eyebrows curved.
It’s really ugly, ugly and cute...hehe.
"It was you who insisted on getting in."
Helplessly looking at the silly hairpin with cute decorations on his head in the camera, he looked at Nagasaki Motoyo who was in a very good mood and laughing. After waiting for a long time, when Nagasaki Motoyo finally laughed enough, Nakagawa Nobuyuki gently took off the hairpin on his head: "...So, wait a little longer."
There's still plenty of time in the afternoon, we can't just end it right away, right?
"Hmm... where should we go..."
Hearing what Nakagawa Nobuyuki said, Nagasaki Suyo, whose smile had not yet completely faded, blinked slightly and began to wonder what to do next.
Let’s go shopping together?
But, it’s a bit hot on the street… and I don’t really like shopping…
Want to go see the latest movie?
