Today was Friday afternoon. The students on Friday were the most polarized. Divided by morning and afternoon, the students on Friday morning were often like zombies from a zombie apocalypse, their faces sullen, their bodies as stiff as mummies buried underground for hundreds of years. But once it was time to leave school in the afternoon, these zombies and mummies would all turn into national-level athletes, their bodies filled with the scent of youthful hormones.
Even the shops that usually closed early would rarely choose to prepare more materials and continue to welcome customers today. Girls in wooden clogs clattered across the asphalt road. Around them, some rather playboy-like males would often gather, discussing today's activities. But no matter what the activity was, it probably couldn't escape hot springs and hotels.
After getting back his Persona Evoker, Qian Yi had planned to go home and open up a small field in his courtyard to grow some cherry tomatoes and vegetables. But Toyokawa Shoko, on the grounds that he had returned to Tokyo after a year and needed a welcome party, planned to take him out to have some fun.
In fact, it was just that Shoko felt Qian Yi was too much of a gravitational force. Hearing that this guy was going home alone to figure out how to grow vegetables, which was completely anti-social, her heart almost jumped out of her chest.
Will I be cultivated into a seed and planted in the ground by him after I die?
Just thinking about that possibility made Shoko's cold sweat pour down. She wouldn't dare let Qian Yi go, no matter what. She had to take him to a crowded place to feel the sunny atmosphere of youth.
And speaking of a sunny atmosphere, nothing beat a band.
Along the way, Shoko racked her brains for a topic. "By the way, when I went to your house earlier, I didn't see your parents at all. Are they working out of town?"
"Mmm, they're working overseas," Qian Yi said.
"Working overseas?" Shoko was amazed. "That's amazing. But since your parents are both overseas, why did you stay in Tokyo instead of going overseas with them?"
"Because I don't like to fly, and the high-speed rail can't go abroad," Qian Yi answered truthfully.
"That's true. Japan is an island country, after all. Unless there's an undersea tunnel for high-speed rail in the future, you can only rely on planes to go abroad. It's really a problem if you don't like to fly." Shoko remembered that Qian Yi had been in a plane crash before and quickly changed the subject. "Where do Qian Yi's parents work?"
After some thought, Qian Yi said, "I remember it's called Bethel. I haven't really looked into the specifics."
Shoko first said "Oh," then tried to remember if her parents or grandfather had ever mentioned this company. But after some careful thought, her eyes suddenly widened.
Wait, where did you say your parents work? Bethel?
The Bethel where God (Yahweh) led Abraham, not only to Shechem, but also to Bethel?
The Bethel in reality was an ancient city in Palestine, about sixteen kilometers north of Jerusalem and about a hundred kilometers north of Palestine. The word "Bethel," in Hebrew, Phoenician, and Aramaic, means "house of God [the body of Christ]."
If it were anyone else, Shoko would never have made these connections. But when Qian Yi fought, he would shout "Izanagi-no-Okami," which was the name of the creator god in Japanese mythology. Now his parents were working in a place with such a strong religious meaning as Bethel. And Qian Yi's house was a classical garden-style mansion in a place like Ginza where land was worth its weight in gold...
WOC! Are you actually a god?!
Is it too late for me to kneel down and pray for wealth now?
While the two were chatting, they had already reached their destination. The place she wanted to take Qian Yi to was called STARRY, a very classic "live house" in Shimokitazawa. As they walked down the stairs and were about to ring the doorbell, the door in front of them opened by itself. Looking up, it was the manager's sister. She remembered her name was Ijichi... oh right, Nijika!
"Oh! It's Shoko! Good evening. Are you here to work today too?" Nijika called out.
"Am I late? Is it okay?" Because of Qian Yi, Shoko was a little late today.
"What does it matter? There are not many customers during the day. It's no big deal to be a little late." The sunny girl with the blonde side ponytail, after greeting Shoko, noticed Qian Yi beside her. "Oh! Isn't this Qian Yi?"
"You two... know each other?" Shoko tilted her head.
"Of course! Qian Yi and I are deskmates! Right?" Nijika introduced their relationship.
"A gift." Qian Yi gave Nijika one of the five cans of sugar-free Fanta he had been forced to buy because the vending machine had gotten stuck.
"Thanks." Nijika reached out with both hands to take it.
"Thanks." A blue-haired girl who had appeared beside Nijika at some point smiled and reached out with both hands, waiting for the drink to fall into her hands.
Her hair was cut unevenly, with a few strands sticking out here and there. The hair in front also hung unevenly on her forehead. But this hairstyle suited her perfectly. She wore a black jacket over a white short-sleeved round-neck shirt, and under her blue skirt, her slender calves were wrapped in black long socks, with a pair of leather shoes on her feet. She was thin and looked frail.
"Here." Since he had five cans, Qian Yi was not stingy.
Greatness needs no further words.
"Thanks. I like you," Yamada Ryo said strange things with a straight face. She could feel that this man in front of her was a congenital rock and roll sacred body!
"Ryo, don't say such strange things!" Nijika, acting as a bridge of communication, introduced the extra blue-haired girl to Qian Yi. "She's Yamada Ryo. She's in our class. By the way, she's a bassist~."
After the introduction, Nijika grabbed Qian Yi with one hand and Shoko with the other, pulling them into STARRY. After finding an empty seat, she said very seriously, "By the way, Shoko and Qian Yi, can you two play the guitar?"
"I remember your band already has a guitarist, Nijika. What's wrong? Is the practice not going smoothly?" Shoko asked curiously.
"I wish that were the case." Ijichi Nijika sighed, her whole body slumping onto the table lifelessly. She complained, "Our band's guitarist suddenly ran away. The show we were scheduled to perform is probably going to be canceled now. It was a chance I worked so hard to get from my sister."
"Is that so? Bands are like that. They form and they break up. Even if you find a new guitarist now, you probably won't make it in time for the show. My condolences," Shoko said, indicating she was powerless to help.
"No!" Qian Yi suddenly became excited. "This is when you should go and drag that guitarist back! I know a box-domain master who can help you find her right now! I will not forgive anyone who quits a band without permission and causes the band to disband! If I become prime minister in the future, the first thing I'll do is charge that person a ten-million-yen band disbandment tax!"
Shoko: WOC! How could I forget about this!
She immediately grabbed Qian Yi, using all her strength to protect the unknown guitarist, to prevent her from being scared to death by a sudden ten-million-yen debt in the future and having her soul return to the High Plain of Heaven.
Wait, if her soul returns to the High Plain of Heaven, isn't that also under Qian Yi's jurisdiction?
Does that mean she'll be taxed twice?
Yamada Ryo, sipping her sugar-free Fanta, showed a knowing smile. "As expected, Qian Yi. You're very rock and roll."
"What does 'very rock and roll' mean?" Nijika asked, not understanding.
"Drinking, smoking, getting tattoos, fighting, playing with high school girls, f***ing fans, and asking friends for money," Yamada Ryo rattled off.
"No blowing up the Tokyo Tower?" Qian Yi added.
Yamada Ryo's expression immediately became serious. She took out a wet wipe from the table, wiped her hands, and said two words, "Bass?"
Qian Yi nodded, responding, "Bass."
The next moment, their hands were tightly clasped together.
Watching the two god-tier people who had inexplicably reached a consensus and become like brother and sister, Shoko's and Nijika's expressions suddenly became gloomy. "Shoko, change of plans. Let's separate them for today. They're too dangerous."
"Agreed."
