Takenouchi Akihito was a young man he met after he was reborn and a student of Aoyama College.

A few days after he was reborn, on a night when his business was deserted due to strong winds, a group of men and women flocked into the store.

Odyssey does not receive female guests alone, but it is enough to be led by a man.

That night, as if to fight against the desertedness caused by the bad weather, the guests and the hospitality were interested in showing enthusiasm, lively and frivolous female students, and invited male waiters to dance.

Takenouna Akihito dances the worst, but he pays great attention to Shinichi Iwahashi, who has outstanding dances and takes the initiative to chat with him. This man is naturally familiar with him. Every time he comes to the store, if Shinichi Iwahashi is on duty and meets him, he must say hello to him.

Although it is a bit strange that the waiter at the nightclub said "friendship with guests", it is absolutely true that he is a familiar guest.

Tonight, Akihito Takenochu was with three or four other male students. Several of them ordered whiskey and happily commented on the female singer singing on the stage.

After a few greetings, Shinichi Iwahashi was about to retreat, but Akihito Takenosuke called him, "By the way, Iwahashi. Are you free next Tuesday?"

"I have time tonight. However, I have to work until half past five in the daytime."

He works in the Odyssey for three nights a week and works in a pizza chain called "Losack" in Yoyogi. On Thursdays every week, the two working hours overlap, and they will definitely be busy at that time.

"If you have time, can you ask for help with a dance next Tuesday night?"

"What?"

"The friend who came to the store last time together participated in a band. He was originally scheduled to have a performance next Tuesday, but unfortunately a dancer broke into a foot and injured his foot. Now he is looking for someone to take it on for a while."

"The band has a dance?"

The band Iwahashi Shinichi's impression is the lead singer guitar bass drum. There are these four types, even if they are all four corners. Or add a synthetic keyboard. Anyway, I have never seen anyone dancing.

Takenounuchi Akihito said it for granted, "The composition of the band is strange."

Well, he is ignorant...

"There are many kinds of dances. I may not be able to do it suddenly." Shinichi Iwahashi declined. He didn't want to waste his time on performing bands that he had never heard of before.

"I can't think it's a problem," Takenonachi Akihito was still insisting, "Actually, she followed me to the store once before and danced with you. Now she thought of you first and said you were competent, so I volunteered to ask."

she?

Shinichi Iwahashi tried to recall whether there was such a person among the female students who had met who came to the store, but he didn't even have an impression in his mind.

"Of course, it's not for nothing, it's rewarding." At this time, Akihito Takenonaga said again.

When I heard that I had money, Shinichi Iwahashi finally took it a little more seriously. No one could not get along with the money.

"The performance fee is calculated separately, and the time taken for the middle rehearsal is also calculated as the hourly wage, 600 yen."

Seeing that he was interested, Akihito Takenouchi quickly reported the conditions, "The leader of the band is a graduate of the Art Department of the School of Culture and is quite generous. Just think of it as a part-time job, please think about it carefully."

Going to dance with you can earn some extra money, which seems pretty good. Anyway, you are idle when you don’t work. If you can, go and have a look.

If you have money to take, it would be okay to perform with a band that has never been heard before. As for the one who paid him a generous young master or a frugal young man who pursued his dreams, the background of the band has nothing to do with him.

That's the case.

"Okay then." Shinichi Iwahashi agreed.

It is not convenient to continue talking about private matters during working hours. Takenonaga Akihito asked him about contact information and how to arrange the follow-up arrangements, and then call him.

After returning to the preparation room halfway, Shinichi Iwahashi brought paper and pen, wrote down the phone number of his apartment, and handed it to Akihito Takenochi while delivering the items, and did not forget to explain in advance, "I have a job at 9:00 in the morning and can answer the phone before 8:30."

Takenounuchi Akihito made an "ok" gesture, "I understand, I will contact you before that."

To make a phone call, you have to explain the time in advance. Shinichi Iwahashi couldn't help but miss the era of intelligence in his heart.

Separated from Takenounuchi Akihito, Shinichi Iwahashi continued to welcome and see him off in the store. When it was almost closed, he retreated to the lounge, changed out of his uniform, greeted his colleagues, and walked out of the store.

The rain in the evening turned into mist and the air was humid, but it seemed that there was no need to hold an umbrella anymore.

Shinichi Iwahashi walked down the iron stairs, came out of the slit, and walked alone on the street in the middle of the night. He avoided the drunkards who were tilted around and turned a deafening ear to the loud noise coming.

The well-dressed and polite men and women I saw during the day, when they came to this street at night, after they had eaten the yellow soup, they became completely different.

If there is enough time and happens to be a bit boring and a little bit boring, there is also a little stupid and bold, who is not afraid of danger. After walking in Kabukicho late at night, you can always see no less than a hundred ugly things after getting drunk.

This time I get off work, I just can catch the last tram.

After walking four stops, he got off at Gaoyuan Temple. Shinichi Iwahashi got into the narrow alley of the old street and turned around until he stopped in front of an old two-story apartment.

Chaofengzhuang.

When I first came here, every time I came back from the door, Shinichi Iwahashi stared at the small sign at the door, and always thought to himself that in reality, someone would give the apartment such a stupid name.

The two-story building is divided into eight rooms. The landlord lives on the first floor that is not sunny, and the remaining seven, including him, now four of them are rented out.

Shinichi Iwahashi took off the key from his waist and climbed up slowly along the dusty cement steps. He returned home late at night and tried to take his pace as lightly as possible when he went up the stairs.

When renting such a house, the landlord will not pick on the career and life of the renter. Of course, if such a house is too concerned about these things, it may not attract tenants.

But the more this happens, the less he wants to cause trouble.

Room 203 on the second floor is the one he lives in.

Leave the umbrella outdoor, open the door, hold the light rope hanging from the ceiling, and gently pull it. A small light bulb is enough to shine brightly in the six stacks.

As soon as you enter the door, there is a kitchen next to you, a short and simple flow table, which looks like a toy for playing house.

Not long before Shinichi Iwahashi moved in, the landlord repaired the house and changed the paper for the closet sliding door. The white and cheap goods looked particularly terrible in this shabby house.

As a bachelor's apartment, the narrow activity space is quite organized.

Of course, it also has nothing to do with the fact that there is nothing in the house.

Shinichi Iwahashi took off his coat, hung it on the wall with a clothes rack, added water to the kettle, and started a gas stove. Waiting for the time when the water boiled, he opened the drawer of the kitchen cabinet, turned out a bag of instant noodles, tore open the bag, and poured it into the bowl.

As soon as the kettle is heated, the bottom will sound.

He has been repeating this life for nearly three months.

Doing this can be said to be observing and adapting to this strange country, or to be self-protection in a daze after suddenly changing his identity.

When he was just reborn, he even felt a little afraid in the face of the huge city running at high speed and the unfamiliar humanistic environment.

It’s not that he has never thought of going back to Shizuoka’s “hometown”, but Shizuoka or Tokyo are unfamiliar to him and he needs to know him from scratch.

People will not regard a place without a sense of belonging as their hometown. Therefore, in Shizuoka and Tokyo, there is no difference.

Although Tokyo is big, it has infinite possibilities. Although Shizuoka is small, it is just a cave where the loser hides.

He had nowhere to hide, so he could only face the wind and rain.

The water boiled, Shin Iwahashi took the bowl to the low table in front of the TV, and then took the kettle. He poured the boiling water into the bowl, and took a copy of "Flash" and covered it with the mouth of the bowl.

The girl idol, Yoko Minami on the cover, opened her charming eyes wide and stared at the low ceiling.

The magazine was three months ago, but even Yoko Mino, who had expired for three months, was still very beautiful. Even before seeing this magazine, he didn't know who Yoko Mino Mino was, but a beauty is a beauty.

During the three minutes of waiting, Shinichi Iwahashi looked up along her gaze with some boredom.

There was a brown stain on the ceiling that I didn't know what it was.

After dinner and washing up, Shinichi Iwahashi took out the bedding from the closet. He had never used the flooring. Now, he repeatedly put the quilt in a set of quilts every day. If he set a small goal for himself, he wanted to live in a house with beds.

A rain passed, and the sleeping bed was invaded by the moisture in the air, which was very uncomfortable.

Shinichi Iwahashi wrapped his legs with a blanket, hoping that tomorrow would be a sunny day so that he could dry the damp bedding.
