*Tabs... Kegs... Teng...*

"Stand up" said Nanoka, the chairman of the class. All the students stood in a ready position without anyone else frowning or busy with their activities. Seeing the situation that was appropriate, Nanoka bowed as she said. "Give greetings".

"Thank you Sensei..." Call all students at the same time.

Sensei smiled and left the class. In this kind of situation, I quickly brought my bus running from the classroom as soon as school ended.

I took the bus to the roof of the school, as soon as I arrived, my eyes caught a girl in the same uniform as me standing clutching tightly against the fence while looking at the beautiful sky in the afternoon. The black hair tied up was blown by the breeze, as well as her skirt. It seemed that the girl was in a good mood and was full of spirit. Who else if not Keiko-senpai.

"You're late, kid, I'll tell you before the school bell stops ringing, you should be here. But, you even came when the bell stopped 5 seconds ago" he protested while folding his hands in front of his chest.

"It wasn't my fault, Senpai himself came too soon. How does Senpai come before the bell stops? Was there still a lesson?" my reply won't lose.

Keiko-senpai laughing. "You know around this school there's a musical theater?" He asks.

"Know, why?" I asked back.

"The melody of the marker of the end of our school with the marker of the end of musical training in the building, reads at a time that can be said to be mutually simple. The resulting sound so interesting loh. I hope you also hear" he replied.

"Huh? How's it? I don't understand and I don't care anymore. The thing is, our senpai is already breaking school rules, so don't stand on that fence! You want us to be punished severely?"

Senpai then jumped off the fence and landed right in front of me. "Have you decided to join my music club?"

"What is the meaning of a useless band whose origins are unclear? Yeah..." Suddenly my words were cut off because I was still worried about my decision. For a moment, I leaned the bus against the fence and said.

"I really need help from Keiko-senpai to teach me how to play the bus. But losing out on getting into that club..." Again my speech was cut off and this time it was cut off by the cry of senpai.

"WHY? Don't you want to join at all??"

"Not to join. It's just that, my intention from the beginning was to buy this guitar right, in order to reclaim Kanzaki-san's private room. I can't play this bus for anyone but myself"

"Why not? You've come here according to what I've been told... Time just because of that?"

"It's true that I came here according to your orders. But I did it just because I needed help from senpai so that I could win from Kanzaki-san's challenge!"

"So you used my guitar playing skills to defeat Kanzaki-san? The point is you're doing the same thing, like I'm using you?"

Keiko-senpai spoke bluntly and frankly to me. If it was someone else, they would definitely not do such an honest thing. Being a little impressed at senpai's attitude, I honestly nodded at all the questions she asked.

Shortly after, the smile on senpai's face expanded extremely wide.

"So yes... Actually I'm disappointed, but seeing you who can act alone, I feel proud and moved.

"Anu... I'm already big.." as I am.

"Yes too. But isn't this a good thing? Even if you're using me blatantly, I've predicted that you'll be joining my band soon!"

Senpai sits with legs crossed and pulls out fixtures such as mini amplifiers and more. Not to forget, he tuned the strings on his guitar and told me to sit down too.

"Senpai, why are we practicing on the roof? Isn't this a restricted area in the school?" My toot.

My question was not answered immediately. Because, daritadi senpai busy winding and stretching something near the fence.

"Hem. Save the question for later, because now you have to walk to the building sebrang using the rope that I have prepared since!" Answer her.

"Eh?! What!!" I was shocked and almost dropped my bus.

"Did you have a hearing problem? I told you, you have to walk on this rope to the building. Now too!" He repeated his words with a strange accent.

"But what is this for? Isn't it better to practice finger-pointing on the strings?" My speech.

"The exercise is old-fashioned. Look yeah, you wouldn't be able to play the bus if you didn't believe it and hang your fate on your own bus strings. Now, don't ask much more. I will pray for your safety from here" Senpai said.

"Where is there such an exercise!? Senpai!" My yelling.

"There's. This is the training suggested by my legendary guitarist. And let me warn you one thing. If you want to start, you have to prepare mentally first. Most likely if it falls, you'll die." He said while holding his two thumbs up.

I shook my head strongly. "Not no no... What is this senpai talking about? How could a 1st High School student do such a reckless thing, just to be able to play the bus?! If I really die, just for the sake of being able to play the bus, that would be ridiculous!"

"Geez" Keiko-senpai shrugged her shoulders while patting her jidat. "To become a pro bus expert, you need to go through special exercises that endanger your life. Like my favorite guitarist of a lifetime! You know, she practices every day by hitting her head against a wall or not letting herself get consumed by flames and more.."

"Wait, who is the legendary guitarist that senpai puja?" I cut out an explanation that sounded like the pace of a train.

"of course.... The late Ikariya Chousuke" he replied loudly.

"Std... Don't rampage. Although they are a group of comedians, but it is a former famous band. And also, the legend of a rising band like The Beatles. Boy, you have to keep your manners towards them.."

"That's what I already know!! Don't switch dong's talk.."

"good good. About you having to walk up to that rope, just a lie. You need to train your eyesight, boy, here where there's a rope... It's just an illusion I made from the reflection of the twilight sun"

Instantly I petrified and approached the location Keiko-senpai pointed to. I immediately patted the eel and apologized to him, because it was true there was no rope but only the habituation of light that hit an item below.

"I actually called you here, not to practice. Except 'that thing' "

Senpai leaned against the fence while pointing down. Without asking any more questions, I already knew the meaning of it. Yes, it is the sound of the guitar being plucked. More precisely the sound produced by Kanzaki-san in my personal room (it used to be) which is right below us.

"She was taking things too lightly... I taught him how to fix his soundproof room with a towel. Why is his voice still audible?" I thought half a pout.

"It all started a week ago..."

Keiko-senpai's slender body began to slip down and sat with her back resting on the fence. Then look up at the sky.

"When I was this diligent, I decided to skip from the first lesson to the school bell rang while listening to the sound of the streets" he continued.

"Why are you going to school then?" My inner.

🎶

The twilight rays that had almost set, made the shadow of my body look more and more concentrated. I am still waiting for the continuation of the story from Senpai, no ceasing to glance down while continuing to listen to the sound of the guitar.

"At that time, the sun began to set with a dark cloud of rain sign will fall. I want to leave the roof stopped, because the sound of the guitar. The sound is regular and perfect. The song is a classic song called Sonata. However, he always goes through the action-packed parts for rocker guitarists and continues to play an uninspired low note. Like a sick person. I was so upset that I didn't realize that the rain was beginning to pour down on the earth" Senpai said.

I sat down next to him and had a chance to look at his face. "—senpai can get the flu.." I said.

"The man continued to repeat the Sonata song that he arranged himself until the last note. Then I heard the door open. Out of curiosity, I also peeked out from behind these perforated wire bars. And..!" He exclaimed in a high voice that surprised me.

"Kok feels like hearing a contestant's poetry reader." I thought.

"And, what's senpai?" My toot.

"And..! I saw a beautiful girl walking out of the room. The long, sparkling dark purple hair looked graceful—like the figure of an angel falling from the clouds. It made me fall in love at first sight of him" He stood with a sparkling aura.

I was shocked to hear Senpai's words. My hair stands all up and my reflexes stay away from Senpai.

"La-anu... Senpai" call me.

"Yes? What's the problem, boy?" Ask.

"Ka... Kanzaki-san is right, woman. Why does Senpai love her? You weren't... Thinking on tilt, right?" I asked back.

"It would be wrong if I loved her? I like things beautiful and beautiful. Gender has nothing to do with it." she replied in a haughty tone.

"Thank God just like it.... I thought it was worse" I stroked the chest in relief.

"I'm still sane. That's also why I allowed Ohsawa Haruka and Satoshi to join my band"

"Because it's pretty? Satoshi is a man.."

"Not just pretty. But cute!!"

"Murkey? Please don't say that horrible word again. Especially for the two of them, did senpai not care about their talent of playing musical instruments? Senpai knows no, Haruka took a year to play the drums and Satoshi was willing to teach private lessons to play the keyboard. Does Senpai not care about that?"

Keiko-senpai remained silent and continued to dodge my eyes. "If Haruka finds out about this, she'll cry" I said.

"No problem, I will definitely quickly tell him about his musical tastes." Keiko-senpai replied casually.

I was so surprised I couldn't say anything. I can't believe Senpai is such a person. I should have learned bus by myself — is still not too late for me to escape.

I stood up and walked towards the door, before I grabbed the doorknob, Senpai said.

"Do you know the reason why I asked for your help to recruit Kanzaki Shiori in my band?"

"What indeed?" I asked who turned around and looked at Senpai doubtfully.

"When our views met that day, I quickly persuaded him to join. But none of my words he heard. Plus, from the results of my investigation over the past few days, I don't know what reason it is that you're the only one at school who can talk to him" he replied.

I'm surprised I'm not playing. I slowly saw a suspicious smile of Keiko-senpai walking towards me.

"Then from that boy..." He put both his hands on my shoulder.

"W-what?"

"I need your help for this great plan!"

I don't know why, but I can't look directly into Senpai's eyes. All I could do was take my eyes off of anywhere. All my life, that's the first time someone's said that to me. That I'm useful... And much needed here.
