Ch 48 - We Forget The Remains, We Start Over Pt. 2

"Damn…this can be nice for some dark emotional storytelling." Calli said.

"Yeah...wanna hop on this beat for a feature for my future album? I'll pay you too when that time comes."

"Really? I'd love to, Shi! Though, you already have a theme for this song, or...?"

"Yeah…" I said as I faced to my screen.

"The theme of the song is 'Love for your Best Friend'."

"Ooh, that's nice...oh, wait-" She said as she widened her eyes.

"...Yeah…'Lucky' sort of sparked that idea in my brain." I giggled nervously.

"...You know...I'm very sorry to hear that your friend passed away, judging from your song, 'A Soldier's Life'..." She said, scratching her head and looking away.

"It's okay. It's been a long time since it happened, so it's not as bad as before...just uh...I don't like thinking back too much. I tend to break down easily when I think back to that time I-" I said as I suddenly felt my body tighten, and my body starting to feel cold.

"...W-What's wrong?" Calli asked.

"...N-N-Nothing." I said as I held my mouse and took a few deep breathes.

I closed FL Studio and sighed.

"I'm sorry...I think we'll work on this beat soon enough. I guess my mind isn't prepared yet." I giggled nervously.

"Got your phone? I'll pass the project to you if you want." I asked.

"A-Ah, yeah. Thanks. Here." She said, giving me her phone.

I got my USB adapter, transferred the file, and gave it back to Calli.

"Well, wanna continue making beats? I think I can make some more." I said.

"Oh, you're still up for it?"

"Yeah. Though, it'll mostly just be messing around and such."

"Well...I guess so. You got an idea?"

"Nope, so that's why I'm just gonna mess around with some noises in some VST plugins."

"Well, it takes some time to get in that thinking process. Let's just chill and have fun while making it!"

"Mhmm."

And so, up until lunchtime, me and Calli were just vibing, and were freestyling. Obviously, because she doesn't freestyle as much and isn't like me, she would sometimes stutter, but good laughs were exchanged, and it was a very good time. Really got my "bad memories" away for the whole duration it happened.

"Man...mind if I show Holomyth these pieces?"

"Sure. Just make sure it doesn't leak out. After all, it's not like we all have to tell each other that our new costumes are coming in about 3 months or so. Besides, hype is always appreciated, especially if it's short-lived." I said.

"Mhmm. Thanks! Want me to make lunch?"

"Well, I was thinking of doing something quick. I uh...got a stream this 5 PM, and I need to warm up a bit."

"Oh? What is it?"

"I'm gonna be playing some solo Phasmophobia."

"Solo Phasmophobia?! Are you nuts? You ain't scared of that shit?!" She did a little laugh.

"Mhmm. I'm fine. Besides, it's just a game. Not like a wraith could come out of the screen and choke me like it hates me but it loves me." I chuckled.

"I see...well, I guess I'll check your fridge and cook something quick." She said.

"Ah nah, lemme do it. No, really."

"It's okay, it's at least what I can do after your hard work with the beats-woah, woah, WOAH!" She said as she accidentally caught her left ankle with her right foot from standing up and walking backwards.

"WOAH! CALLI!" I said as I instantly grabbed her before she fell face first to the floor.

"Jesus, that was close." I said, lifting her up.

"A-Ah...t-t-thanks…" She said.

"...Um, you're welcome." I said, blushing from the awkward position.

'Jesus, been a long time since my dick has ever felt the in-between of a woman's buttcheeks.' I thought.

"S-Say, you're not thinking of anything weird, are you?" She said, blushing a bit and groaning.

"N-N-No." I said, putting my hands in my pocket and furiously "arranging the jigsaw puzzle" with it.

"Hmm...say, aren't you a full Japanese too?" She asked.

'...IS SHE IMPLYING SHE FELT MY FULLY ERECT THINGY?! DAMMIT!'

"W-Well, a test I did before when I was younger showed that I had some caucasian blood, but my features are quite Japanesey, so I just thought that it's either very little or I'm actually just Japanese."

"Huh...that's interesting. I actually thought that your face looks asian, but I can see some semblance to a caucasian."

"Hmm? I do? Well, I get that sometimes from my facial expressions, but I feel Japanese. My mind though thinks American. What a racial mess I am." I chuckled.

"Anyway, just leave the cooking to me. Maybe play some of the beats again on the computer if you're feeling bored. Do try not to peek at my personal files." I patted her shoulder.

"O-Okay...well, I guess I'll return the favor soon." She smiled.

"Oh yeah, you okay with eating anything? You have allergies? Food you don't like?"

"Not really. I'd eat anything edible."

"Welp, then I guess we going steak and some vegetable salad. Something I can cook quickly." I said.

"STEAK?! OH HECK YEAH, I'M IN!"

And so, we ate lunch, talked about some stuff, especially our favorite artists and what we didn't like and did like about some of them, and when it almost reached 5 PM, she had to go back to her room. It was streaming time.

"Shiro on the mic, Shiro on the beat, Shiro with the heat, everybody, thanks for coming to my stream! Yeah, and you know I got the heat, bro. What's my name? Ishijin Shiro!" I clapped.

"Today, we're going ghost hunting! Alone! And uh...I think some of you have noticed already. I got some levels in. Yeah, I was warming up a bit by playing some Phasmophobia to see if it recorded properly, as well as just getting the mechanics and all, 'cause I only watched gameplays of it, but don't know how to play it myself. However, we're gonna go...to the Tanglewood Street House, and we're gonna see what we're up against. Yes, maybe solo isn't the best option, but hey, I'm willing to get raped in the ass, so this'll be fun." I chuckled.

"Alright...so, for my overseas Privates who don't understand Japanese that much, 'cause...I bought this game, and obviously, I live in Japan, the name of the ghost I'm dealing with is called 'April Thompson'. She can respond to anybody, but because I'm going solo, it's only me, and uh...yeah. I need to refer to my journal for everything I get from the paranormal activity. So...I'm bringing a notebook and an EMF reader, and I'm just gonna go straight in and just die." I laughed and slammed the desk.

"Bruh, I don't give a shit. Just kill me already." I said as I finally made my way to the house.

"...April Thompson? Are you there?"

…No response.

"...April Thompson? April Thompson? APRIL THOMPSON? CAN I GET A LOAD OF THAT PUSSY?"

"...Bruh, she ain't responding. Tsk. And I thought I would at least have sex like those animated porn videos you'd see on Xvideos and shit. You know, maybe something like Derpixon. You guys know Derpixon?" I said as I started exploring the house.

"Jesus Christ, it's hella dark." I giggled while holding an EMF reader.

I kept browsing the rooms, and when I went into the garage.

"...Oh? I'm cold...I see. Oh man, and even the EMF reader is going nuts...hehe, ballsacks." I said as I laughed hard and leaned back on my chair.

"This is supposed to be scary! I'm laughing like hell right now! But hey, it's my job, as a Vtuber and entertainer, to make you all feel good, not to scare you all. I'm not a ghost. I'm Ishijin Shiro, the V-rapper of Holostars."

I turned the lights on in the garage, and I had to take a risk.

"April Thompson. Give me a sign! Give me a sign.~ Hit me baby one more ti-WOAH, FUCK MY ass." I said in a weird accent and laughed.

"Jesus Christ, she just turned the lights off suddenly. I shook the mouse like a crazy mofucker."

"Alright...so, with just the EMF and cold temperature, we got the Oni and the Shade. I'm gonna go outside and get a notebook…'cause like...if we use that as the 3rd evidence, Shade is the ghost, so if there's no writing, then it's an Oni. It's an Ayame! You know, I don't mind dying right now if the ghost happened to be Ayame. Who wouldn't wanna be killed by Ayame? You're worse than scum if you ain't willing to die by her hands."

And so, I went to get it, and just when I went there.

"Alright...so, I guess I'll drop the notebook right here...and I'll just go out-Woah! What the fuck? The notebook just got thrown away from me! ...Yep, it's Ayame." I said and laughed.

"Damn, April is Ayame all along? Maybe April is a cute girl...maybe April is cuter than Ayame. Actually, screw Ayame. I'm throwing her away for a cuter girl called April!"

And the chat fucking flipped at me:

"HOW DARE YOU THROW AWAY THE NAKIRIUM! >:O"

"Canceled RTA Speedrun Any%"

"LMAOOOO"

"Bruh"

"Bruh"

"Welp, o7. It's been fun knowing you, Shiro."

"Unsubscribed"

"...Hah-'You just turned the whole Vtuber community against you.' KWAHAHAHA!" I laughed hard, released my keyboard and slapped my chair's arms.

"Ahahahah...oh my God, I can't stop laughing." I laughed more, while wiping my eyes and moving with my keyboard out to the house.

"Bruh, I'm so sorry, y'all. It was a joke! Ever heard of a joke? No, 'cause you Gen Z fucks are too sensitive to even know what a joke is! OOOHHHHHHH!!!!!!! SHOTS FIREDDDDD!!!!" I said as I got out of the house and walked around my room.

And of course, that got the chat going wild like "OOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH".

"OOOHHHHHHHHH!!!! I'M DEFINITELY GETTING CANCELED TOMORROW." I laughed and put on the headphones.

"Ah...but hey, we got the ghost. It's time to go home and finish the level."

And so, I got it correct, and went to the next levels. I thought this round was strange enough with my commentary, but uh…

"BABY! BABY! BABY OHHHH!! LIKE BABY! BABY! BABY NOOOO!!! I SAID, JOHNNY HOPSIN, ARE YOU THEREE?~~ I THOUGHT YOU'D ALWAYS BE MINE! MINE!-Oh shit, the door locked. RUN TO THE NEAREST CLOSETTTTT!!!" I shouted and laughed as I ran with a flashlight.

"Yup. Singing a Justin Bieber song would definitely upset the oldheads. I knew Johnny would react to it...I wonder if Johnny likes emo songs. You guys know 'Cat and Mouse'? Let's try that next...well, once I finally get out. I think Johnny will kill me for being a Belieber." I snickered.

"Actually, maybe some One Direction...or how about…" I said as I got out of the house, and I went to my truck.

"TODAY IS GONNA BE THE DAY THAT THEY'RE GONNA THROW IT BACK TO YOU.~ BY NOW, YOU SHOULD'VE SOMEHOW REALIZED WHAT YOU OUGHTA DO.~ I DON'T BELIEVE THAT ANYBODY FEELS THE WAY I DO ABOUT YOU NOW.~" I sung.

And uh...yeah, the stream continued on with me being a damn carefree crackhead throughout the stream, despite it being a horror stream. And in case you're curious, I ended up dying at the level where I was singing. I guess I should've kept quiet about Backstreet Boys and Drake. Yeesh, Johnny is a feisty one.

And so, when I went out to eat dinner outside, I got greeted by Holomyth.

"Hey, Shiro! (Hey, Shi!)"

"Oh, hey. Lookin' fancy, queens."

"I didn't know Calli got so close to you, "Shi"!" Gura said.

"Hey, like I said, he just thought a nickname was nice. I don't know if he thinks of me as a best friend." Calli giggled.

"Yeah, nicknames are nice." I said.

"Ever thought of giving some of us nicknames too, Shiro?" Kiara asked as we all walked together since we just intersected..

"Hmm...dunno. Calli's was pretty easy. Kiara...Kiars isn't too catchy, nor Gurs, nor Ins, nor Ams. Ame is fine, honestly. Gura...Ame-chan? Maybe I'll start calling Gura as Amelia and Amelia as Ame." I said, earning a laugh from the others.

"What about Ina?" Gura asked.

"Hmm...AO-chan, Ina, Nino, Nini...dunno really, her name is very flexible, but I guess I'm not clever enough to come up with a name. Ina is the only thing I can come up with."

"Aww, too bad! Ina, are you fine with it?"

"Well, Ina serves well enough, I guess…" Ina said.

"Ina is a pretty good nickname. I don't know what y'all talkin' 'bout." I chuckled.

"I would like to ask if you can eat with us, but considering you don't like showing your real face too much, you might say no, won't you?" Gura asked.

"Mhmm. Anyway, I guess I'll be seeing you 5 later. Gotta get food fast."

"Ah, see ya!" Gura said.

And so, I went, got dinner, went back, and I went inside my room.

"Itadakimasu...Nom." I bit my dinner and looked at my plate.

"...Now that I think about it, Calli is the first person I've given a nickname to here...and she's not even my best friend or anything…"

I know we've been getting sort of close, but...that incident with mom is still keeping me from a distance...I don't even know if I could even be that good of a friend to Calli, let alone be like a bro.

"Huh...interesting…" I said as I continued eating.

"Well, one thing is for sure. Calli's chill and quite vibeable with."

Wonder how my future days'll go...?

~March 28, 2021 8:00 AM~

"Damn...Calli's new EP, huh? Can't wait for the full release." I chuckled as I leaned back against my chair.

"Hmm...I mean, I could just...watch from Youtube...maybe once it releases, a 'kind' enough fellow could give out 'Empress'...but I'm not a cheap slut. Lemme go order the CD too." I chuckled.

And so, when I got out, me and the Holostars talked about our hype for Calli's EP. Even the Hololivers and Holomyth themselves were like interviewing Calli herself.

"Man, it's so cool to pump out albums like that, huh?" Roberu crossed his arms.

"Well, even the greatest rappers take time to release albums. Don't fuzz about it too much." I giggled.

"Say, what's your favorite song there? I like 'Red'." Rikka said.

"Hmm...I'd say 'Red' too. However...I'm also stuck between that and 'guh'."

"Oh? Why so?"

"Well, it caught my ears. Everything else sounded somewhat the same, but 'guh' just took the fucking cake."

"Eh? So you're saying you don't like anything pop-like?"

"Nah. Just basically saying that 'guh' had some interesting sounds. If I did, then I'd hate Red. Red had that nice 'storytelling' vibe to it, don't ya think?"

"Good point."

"I liked the 1st song though." Izuru said.

"Oh, 'The Grim Reaper is a Live-Streamer', you mean? That was catchy too. I think I'll put that in the background while I play Tetris once the album releases." I chuckled.

"You know, knowing how you criticized some of Hololive's songs, what's your rating for her new EP, ey, Shiro-kun?" Roberu asked.

"You damn idiot, that's like asking Luna to play La Campanella on piano. How the hell am I even gonna give out my 2 cents if I haven't even listened to the whole thing yet? I think you mean my expectations?"

I mean...I did actually listen to the songs when me and Calli were hanging out a few days ago, but obviously I can't say that. It was quite a good album, in my opinion. A 7/10. Could be done better, but it is very nice for what it's worth. Like, really really nice.

"Ah, then that." Roberu held in his laughter.

"Well...I have very high hopes." I chuckled.

"I expected Calli to be the lyrical type of rapper, but it seems she's like one of my favorite rappers, Cordae. She's trying out a lot of stuff, which I really like. In case you all couldn't tell, her 2nd EP sounds rather experimental." I said.

"Experimental?" They asked.

"...You guys never listened to any experimental music?" I blinked twice.

"N-No. We heard of the genre, but we never listened anything like it." They sweat dropped.

"You guys don't know Lilium Kobayashi? Ultrademon? Sugai Ken? P.O.V.? Michiko Akao?"

"Ah, we get it now!" They all said as I kept listing some names.

"See? You guys did listen to it. I think the problem lies with exposure. But there you go! You guys get what I mean when I say her album is 'experimental'."

"Yeah, yeah. More like she's trying out what works and what doesn't?" Roberu asked.

"Mhmm."

"What about your next album? Are you gonna release something like that?" Rikka asked.

"Nah...I got a whole theme for the next album. It's gonna be a full-length."

"Ooh...interesting." They said.

"Say, you're on the album too, right?" Kira asked.

"Mhmm. Featured on Red. My verse is short though, but eh. As long as it ends up working, I'm fine with it. I'm happy enough to get on the song."

"Man...I can't wrap my brain on how casual you can just approach the members. We need some lessons from you." Roberu put his head on the table.

"Bruh. Just approach them."

"That's like telling a peasant to casually approach a king." Rikka said.

"Huh...I guess I strayed too far and lost my Japanese side of thinking then. I usually think of it as a friend type of relationship instead of a senpai-kouhai relationship" I snickered.

Later on that day, I went out to buy some future gifts for Flare and Calli. One idea was a couple shirt so she could wear it with Noel, so I decided to order online. I also thought of buying some Billie Eillish and a Tyler, The Creator shirt that Calli would like. I don't know which of the two she likes, but I know she has some sort of influence from them.

Another idea was that I could buy some flowers for Calli. Since the red spider lily, or as we call it here, Higanbana, is the infamous "Flower of Death", I wanna give it to her, but I don't know if she can even take care of it well. Not to mention, the Holohouse is mostly comprised of Japanese, and knowing Japan is quite the religious type, it might freak them out if I gave a real one. Hence, I would try searching for a fake instead.

And so, I was walking around the mall, looking at some shops, and sort of window shopping while walking at a slow pace.

'Hmm...where could I find a shop that sells a fake Higanbana...?' I thought.

"...Oh? There's a flower there...I wonder if that can work?" I mumbled as I went inside the store.

I got inside, looked around, and…

"Oh? Ina? Gura?" I said as I looked down.

"Oh? Ah, didn't expect to see you here, Shiro!" Gura said in English.

"H-Hey! I didn't expect it either!" Ina said.

"What're you two doing here?"

"We're just looking at some stuff to buy. Me and Ina came here on a date, but thought leaving immediately would be boring, so we decided to just go around and just browse stuff. As you can see, we bought a few items. Ina also wanted to buy some sketchbooks for drawing with a pencil."

"Y-Yeah. What're you doing, Shiro?" Ina asked.

"Wanted to give Calli the red spider lily. I think you're more familiar with its Japanese name, the 'Higanbana'?"

"Ooh, yeah. The Flower of Death, right?" Gura asked.

"Mhmm. But if I gave a real one, the others will freak out because of folklore and stuff, so if I gave a fake one, it can give ease of mind. Not like I'd give the real one anyway." I shook my hand.

"I know a place for that. Want us to guide you later?" Gura asked.

"I fear that I'll be a hindrance and waste your time."

"It's okay. If that's the case, we're just gonna tell you the location, and the name. It's a win-win, don't ya think?"

"In that case, I might know it. What's the name?"

"The Little Shop of Flowers, in Shibuya!"

"Oh, that shop. Well, I was hoping I could make the hassle less by finding one here, but I guess you reminded me of a good shop. Thanks, Gura." I said as I went to the counter.

I asked if they had a fake Higanbana, and...apparently, none. What a disappointment.

"Hah, guess I'm really going to Shibuya for that, I guess." I said.

"Well, me and Ina are still gonna stick around the mall though. Are you gonna go home yet?"

"Nah. I got some gifts in mind. Flare's birthday is coming up soon, and so far, I have a couple shirt in mind, so that she could wear it with Noel. Of course, leave out any shirt that implies a male-female relationship, 'cause they're both a couple. Can't give her a ring, since she has one with Noel. Not to mention, the last time I gave a ring as a gift, it caused misunderstandings..." I mumbled the last part.

"So instead, I thought of giving her something else. An otamatone." I said.

"Eh? That?" Gura giggled.

"Why that? I don't think Flare-senpai said she likes something like that." Ina asked.

"I like surprising people. She can always throw away the gift if she doesn't like it. Besides, she's a cheery person, so I think she'll play around with it." I chuckled.

"Well...whatever works." Gura snickered a bit.

"You two are just gonna roam around more?" I asked.

"Mhmm."

"Well, before I do go around and actually buy it, maybe there's one lying around. So I'll just roam the mall and check it."

Gura glanced at Ina and smiled as she looked back at me.

"Hey, mind if we go with you? I think it'll be fun if we actually manage to find one."

"E-Eh?" Ina said as she looked at Gura.

"Well, I don't mind. I'll be starting from the first floor going all the way up." I said.

"Sure!" Gura said.

"Well...I guess I don't mind going along too." Ina said.

And so, while we were walking towards the first floor, there was a moment where Ina bumped into me.

"Oh-"

"S-Sorry! Gura just nudged me for some reason!" Ina said as she looked at her while Gura whistled.

"Heh. No worries. We're fine." I said.

I looked at Ina, and she looked down while peeking slightly at my right pocket. She was near my hand, so this caught my attention.

"What's wrong, Ina?" I asked.

"Oh, uh...nothing." She giggled nervously.

"Okay...?" I sweat dropped.

And so, once we were roaming around the mall, looking at all the musical instruments, Gura asked me something.

"Hey, hey. Shiro!" Gura whispered.

"What?" I asked as I crouched a bit and lent her my ear.

"Don't you think something's been off recently?"

"What is?"

"Calli and Kiara...ever since you hung out with Calli, Kiara's been um...acting a bit strange. Not like strange-strange, but...she seems a bit…aggressive? Is that the right word?"

"Hmm...give me an example." I said as I looked at Ina just looking at all the guitars and pianos.

"She's uh...I don't know. Ever saw somebody drink 4 cups of coffee in one go? Something like that."

"Oh...I get ya. She's a bit hyper or something, right? I know that feeling."

"Yeah...why do you think so?"

"Jealousy. I know it." I chuckled.

"So you think the same thing too, huh...?"

"Well...when a person feels jealous, they try to hide it and be in denial. That can translate to their movements. Usually, it results to slightly to severely destructive behavior…"

"Your words are a bit too much…" Gura held in her laughter.

"Sowwy, shak. My engrish is bewy scientipic uwu." I deadpanned and blinked.

"H-Hey." I heard behind us.

"Oh? Hey, Ina. You done looking at stuff?" I asked.

"Yeah...what were you two discussing?"

"You know...Takamori?" Gura said.

"Oh...that one." She said, frowning a bit and looking at Shiro.

"Don't worry. It's fine. I'm sure Kiara and Calli will be fine."

Hard part lies with showing Kiara it's not like that. Not telling, but showing...

"Anyway, otamatone ain't here. Next shop, guys." I said.

"Yup!" Gura said.

"M-Mhmm…" Ina said.

And so, when we actually went around the mall, looking for other shops, we managed to find one. I bought it, and me and the two went out.

"Hoowee! That was fun enough." Gura stretched.

"Yeah, standing around like that and looking at everything was nice." Ina said.

"I get that. The imagination of your mind runs wild when you think of some cool shit." I said.

"Well, it is true." Gura giggled.

"...H-Hey, Shiro." Ina said.

"Hmm?"

"Maybe...soon enough, you would like to go out with us one day? You know...like just casual hanging out. Going out to the park, picnic, talking, or anything. Are you up for that soon?"

"Hmm...doesn't sound bad at all. I'll hold you all to that when the time comes." I chuckled.

"Well, I better not waste time. Time is precious. Gotta go get that gift and do my evening stream of Resident Evil 7. See you two later." I said as I raised my right hand and walked away.

"See ya! Good luck finding it!" Gura said.

And so, when I finally went back, I went into my room and tried to wrap everything up in advance.

"Alright...that's done...time to check my song list and maybe refine the lyrics."

So far, this is the list of my songs.

1: Remember When I Loved You

2: My Dear Girlfriend

3: My One and Oni Girl

4: Since The Day You're Gone

"Man...can't wait to hear Calli's verse on this soon." I said.

I heard two knocks on the door, and then heard, "Shiro? Are you there?".

"Oh? Calls? Hold up." I said as I went to grab my mask and open the door.

"Yo." I said.

"Hey. Mind if I come in?" She asked.

"Mhmm. Make yourself at home. By the way, what's up?" I asked as I sat down on my chair.

"Oh, I was writing some lyrics for that song. You know, 'Since The Day You're Gone'? I just finished a rough draft, and decided to hit you up for some help."

"Ooh, I see. Well, let's get to it!" I said.

And so, me and her were writing, having fun and really getting into the music.

"Hmm...these lyrics look quite good, honestly. Don't ya think?" I asked.

"Yeah...looks good too. Thanks for helping me!" Calli said.

"Mhmm. You did a good job with that rough draft though. I bet it took quite a lot of thought."

"Nah, nah. My ideas were a bit messy. You helped me refine it better."

"Well...I mean, you can record your vocals on this mic right now. It's fine, honestly. Not a lot of noise, and the mic is a studio mic. Wanna do it right now?"

"Sure!" She said.

And so, when we finally recorded it, and mixed it, the second verse sounded very good. It was a great idea to get Calli featured on here.

"Damn...can't wait to finish my verse. I already finished it, but I'm still thinking if there's more I could tweak." I said.

"Really? Good luck with that! Need help too?"

"Nah, I can do it. I just need to really think about it for a while."

"Well...if you say so…"

"Hmm...say, Calls, you know how to play instruments?" I asked.

"Well...I guess I can do some piano...?"

"Guitar? Bass?"

"No…sadly." She giggled nervously.

"Well, how about I serenade you?"

"Oh, swoon me, dear Prince Shiro." She said to which I did a little snicker.

"Here." I said as I started playing a familiar tune that most guitarists know from a band called 'Polyphia'.

"...What the fuck...?!" She said, instantly dropping her jaw and widening her eyes.

I bit my lip and smiled as I kept playing the riff of 'G.O.A.T.' for one more time.

"...Yeah. I only know the riff. I don't know the whole song." I giggled.

As soon as I said that, more knocks on my door ensued.

"Oh shit, mind holding my guitar for me?" I asked as I opened the door, and…

"WOAH, HOLY SHIT!-" I said as Rikka and a few others came barging in.

"WHO PLAYED THAT?!" They asked.

They then looked at Calli, and instantly rushed towards her.

"CALLI, YOU CAN PLAY THE GUITAR?! THAT'S AMAZING!" Iofi said with sparkling eyes.

"PLAY IT FOR US ONE MORE TIME! ONE MORE TIME!" Rikka said.

"YOU CAN PLAY THE GUITAR?!" Matsuri said.

"WHAT WAS THAT?! DO IT AGAIN!" Suisei said.

"YOU'RE AMAZING! DO YOU OWN A GUITAR, CALLI-CHAN?!" Luna said.

"U-Um…" Calli sweat dropped as she looked at me.

"...Oh?" They said as they looked at me.

"Oh man…" I giggled nervously.

'They're gonna let me play it for them, aren't they?' I sweat dropped.
