The shamisen or samisen, also sangen, is a traditional three-stringed Japanese musical instrument derived from the Sanxian Chinese musical instrument. It is played with a plectrum (a small flat instrument used for strumming or strumming musical instruments) called bachi.
When Ayaka hears that Shishio is coming from Kyoto, she thinks that she might be able to play the shamisen, which is why she takes him in person, hoping that she can hear him to play in front of her again.
"Shishio, are you sure? I know you're from Kyoto and you can play guitar, but this is shamisen, you know?" Nana asks because she knows that guitars and shamisen are very different.
"Not much different, Nana. The guitar has six strings, and the shamisen has three strings, in other words, the shamisen is easier to play, right?" Shishio says nonsense to Nana.
"....." Nana.
"Shishio-nii, can you play guitar?" Yuzu asked curiously.
Shishio nodded and said, "I can play it."
"...." - ".Nana knows that Shishio is trying to be humble, but she knows that her guitar skills are definitely not on the "play some" level", but he didn't say much because he had a hunch if he said more three girls before him might be more amazed at him, and mistakenly, he might add more rivals to himself.
"Ah.. I want to hear you play guitar..." Yuri seems to be very eager to hear it, after all, compared to traditional musical instruments like the shamisen, she is more interested in the guitar, which she thinks is pretty cool .
"Maybe in the future, but more importantly, Ayaka-nee, why do you want me to play shamisen?" Shishio asks, wondering why Ayaka suddenly asks him to play the shamisen and he has such an old musical instrument.
"Well, this is from our grandfather, he used to play it for us and grandma, but since he's gone, well..." Ayaka looked very sad as she recalled her family.
"Onee-chan's..." Nana hugs Ayaka because she also misses her grandfather, but she cannot remember him well, after all, she has died when she was a child, but she remembers that she often played shamisen for him. every man.
Shishio looked at the two sisters and nodded. "Let me check the shamisen for a second, Ayaka-nee, is that okay?"
"Ms." Ayaka nodded with a smile as she patted Nana on the head and said, "Yes, please check."
Shishio took the shamisen and checked his voice for a bit. After all, he had gained "Mastery of Music", so he could play almost any musical instrument in this world, including the shamisen in front of him. He nodded and said, "It's quite old, but it's very well maintained. You've been taking care of her very carefully Ayaka-nee." In fact, there were some problems with the shamisen especially the strings, but it didn't matter to him, after all, similar to "Mastery of Cooking", "Mastery of Music" also have passive skills that can improve the quality of musical instruments he holds.
"Thank you." Ayaka nodded with a smile and was pleased with her praise.
"Shishio, can you play it?" Nana asked curiously because she also wanted to hear the shamisen play again because as a child she loved to hear her grandfather play it during family gatherings.
Yuzu, Sumire, Yuri, even including Aki did not say anything and looked at Shishio curiously, after all, they knew that the shamisen brought many memories to Nana and Ayaka, after all, and if Shishio could really play it, then it was truly Awesome again, they could see the longing expressions on the two brothers.
Aki also did not feel jealous anymore, but she felt helpless because she could not do anything for Ayaka, after all, unlike Sorata, Aki was still a child, she said, and he has no problem with the inferiority complex, but he just wants to be treated like a man, because he's always treated like a woman because of his face, because of his, but he has to admit that he is quite jealous of Shishio, after all, Shishio's body is tall and very athletic, and Shishio can also help in Ayaka. He looked at Shishio and wondered if he could become like Shishio in the future.
"Let me tune it up for a while, it's been a long time since it was last played," Shishio said and began eliminating the shamisen.
Looking at Shishio who sets the shamisen with a serious expression, they have to admit that men are the most handsome when they work. They do not say anything, observing the hand of Shisho who is trying to find the best sound for each string on the shamisen, even though they do not know anything, they know that his actions are very professional and subtle.
Then after a while, Shishio finished his work, and said, "I'll start playing, do you have a song you want to hear, Ayaka-nee, Nana?"
"Onee-chan, what do you think?" Nana looked at Ayaka.
"Hmm, I'm not so sure because I don't really understand music..." Ayaka was a little frustrated, after all, she didn't really know the song her grandfather was playing.
"If you don't have a request, then I'll play a song that I know, is that okay?" Shishio asked.
"Ms." Ayaka nodded and said, "Yes, please, Shishio-kun."
Shishio nodded and did not say much nonsense. He took a deep breath then started taking the bachi, and he started playing the shamisen in front of everyone.
*BOOOOOOM!*
As Shishio played the shamisen, they were all dumbfounded, it felt like bombs were dropped right in front of them, and suddenly the sky was filled with rain, and the sound of thunder rumbling in the sky was heard one after another, and for a moment, they felt like they were seeing a samurai who was about to go to war in the middle of a storm. It was their first impression when they heard the song played by him.
In their minds, shamisen is a song similar to a gentle touch or something they can enjoy with everyone in a calm and relaxed situation, but Shishio's song is like a storm.
Aki who did not like Shishio too much because Shishio had distracted Ayaka from him, was also astonished when she heard this song, it felt like this music was created for a man to fight, it felt like it was created for a man to fight, and make him realize what a real man is. .
Watching the figure of Shishio drown in his appearance, they felt that they were not in the living room anymore, but rather saw his figure standing on a cliff, overlooking the sea that was ravaged by the storm, which was a storm, but he was just sitting there playing his shamisen as if he was fighting nature itself.
Shishio who plays the song tries to vent his feelings, after all, he will undergo his first underground match tonight, even though he has prepared himself, this is the first time, this is the first time, and he would lie if he wasn't nervous, whether it was out of excitement or fear, he didn't know, but one thing was certain, his heart was being torn by a storm. He knows that he has to deal with it and that's what he's going to do.
*bang!*
With the last "explosion" his hands stopped, and everything calmed down again.
There was sweat on his forehead, but he had to admit that he really enjoyed the shamisen because it gave off a different feeling than the guitar. He also had to admit that music was a very extraordinary thing because it could make his heart calm at this moment.
Shishio then looked at everyone who seemed to be unable to get up for a while. "Coughs!" He coughed and woke everyone up.
When everyone woke up, they could not help but look at it in astonishment.
"Don't look at me like that, what do you think?" Shishio asked helplessly.
"It'sit's amazing, Shishio-nii." It was the only word that could come out of Yuzu's mouth, and everyone agreed with it, after all, they didn't really understand about music, but one thing was certain, after all, they had to admit that the skill in this shamisen was truly amazing!
"It's good that you like it, after all, I think you like a softer song, rather than this kind of rock song" Shishio said.
"No, it's a very outstanding appearance, Shishio-kun. When I heard that song before, I felt like I saw you drenched in a storm and fighting it," Ayaka said with some excitement in her eyes.
"Yes the title song is stormy, so it's not wrong if you feel this song like a storm" Shishio said.
"Wait, Shishio, is this your original song too?" Nana suddenly asked.
"....." Ayaka, Yuzu, Yuri, Sumire, and Aki were stunned.
"It doesn't really matter, does it?" Shishio raised his eyebrows, but he did not explain whether it was real or not.
"Of course, it's important!" Nana pouted and looked at her face, trying to see if there was any change or not. Unfortunately, he couldn't see anything. He looked at Shishio again and wished he could uncover all of his secrets, and at the same time, it made him unable to break away from him.
"Well, are you satisfied Ayaka-nee?" Shishio asked and decided to change the subject, but everyone thought that he was trying to be humble at the moment, which somehow gave him a better impression.
"Yes, but can you play more?" Ayaka looked at Shishio with a cute expression and asked, "This time, can you play a softer song?"
"Um, I didn't expect the shamisen to be this good," Sumire said in astonishment.
"I want to hear more of her song, Shishio-nii," Yuzu said as she raised her hand.
"After you play the song, can you teach me, Shishio-nii?" ask Yuri.
"One by one, okay? I'm gonna play one more song, and yeah, the shamisen is really interesting." Shishio then looked at Yuri and said, "I don't mind teaching you, but this shamisen belongs to Ayaka-nee, you have to ask her permission."
"Yaku-san!" Yuri quickly looked at Ayaka.
Ayaka nodded and said, "Alright, let's ask him along after we hear the song."
Yuri also nodded and also waited for Shishio to play.
"The title of this song is "Arigatou" (thank you)." Shishio looked at everyone then started playing, but he glanced at Aki and shook his head inwardly, and did not think too much of this little boy.
Then everyone listened to the song again, even Aki who was touched by the whole Shishio also listened because he had to admit that the song was good, Shishio's song had made him excited, anyway, but Aki had no idea that at this moment, she might have missed the opportunity to have many lucky perverted situations in the future, and lost her first love, but it was all good, she said, because that way Aki can grow up, right?
