The performance time of a music bar is basically fixed, which is about 20 minutes. Except for those particularly famous bands who have a slightly longer time, no band can exceed the time limit. Some bands may even have to shorten the time because their performance is too bad.
Although the Inferno Band was a new group, they were still a famous independent band in Asia. The quality of their music was very good, so even if they didn't get the overtime discount, they still played for a full 20 minutes before leaving the stage to the others.
"Boss, where is the backstage?" At this time, Sei Itō turned his head and asked the bar owner.
"Sorry, the backstage is a special area. Without a special reason, outsiders are not allowed to enter." The bar owner simply shook his head and refused.
This is also the meaning of the question. If strangers are allowed to enter the backstage so easily, who will be responsible if something happens? What's more, it is easy to cause conflict and chaos, which is not conducive to the bar's environment. It will affect his reputation in the underground band circle, which is not in his interest.
"Boss." Sei Itō called again.
The bar owner looked up at him with a puzzled look.
In an instant, a pair of dark eyes like a black hole reflected in the bar owner's eyes, making him involuntarily focus his attention.
In this situation, in the eyes of outsiders, Sei Itō and the bar owner are looking at each other.
After about four or five seconds, Sei Itō suddenly slapped a thousand yuan bill on the table, got up, walked around the bar, and entered a small door next to it.
"Bang."
Only then did the bar owner come back to his senses and rubbed his neck with a puzzled look.
"What the hell."
On the other side, Sei Itō entered the backstage passage and turned his hands over. A large bundle of wrapped flowers and a box of clear soup appeared in his hands.
Sei Itō walked along the corridor with the two things and finally stopped in front of a door.
Sei Itō bent his fingers and gently knocked on the door.
"Dong dong dong …"
"Haha."
After about three or four seconds, the door was opened with a soft sound. Then, the burly figure of Shiga She appeared in Sei Itō's line of sight.
"It's you?" Seven Plus Society said in surprise before opening the door. She leaned to the side to let the door open.
"It's me. I saw your performance just now. It was very good. Congratulations, "Sei Itō said with a smile as he walked into the room.
"Here, this is for you, my dear Sharmie." Ito Sei walked into the room and went to Sharmie, who was resting on the sofa. He bent down and handed over the flowers in his hand.
"Hmph, hmph." Sharmie snorted with a faint smile. She reached out and took the flowers, then put them aside.
Sei Itō laughed dryly, turned around, and called out to Seven Cap Society and Chris, "Come, come, come, try the clear soup I brought for you."
Then … He put the plastic bag in his hand on the coffee table in the middle, took out the clear soup, and took the initiative to pick up one of the bowls and handed it to Sharmie.
"Thank you," Sharmie said softly.
"Wow, it smells so good," praised Chris, who took a bowl and drank it.
"Sorry to trouble you," Seven Cap Society said politely.
"It's nothing. It's convenient anyway," Sei Itō said modestly as he sat down beside Sharmie.
Sharmie, who was drinking the soup gently, glanced at Sei Itō who was sitting next to her. She didn't move and continued to drink the soup silently.
"Do you have any other plans after this?" Sei Itō looked at Seven Cap Society and asked.
"We have to rush to a show later. What's wrong? Do you need something? "Seven Cap Society looked at Sharmie. Then, he turned to Sei Itō and said.
"I see … Then, when will you finish?" Sei Itō nodded and asked.
"Well … We have to rush to a nightclub tonight. If everything goes well, we should finish around 10: 30," Seven Cap Society lowered his head and thought about today's schedule, then answered.
"10: 30 …" Sei Itō frowned slightly, then smiled and asked, "Do you mind having an extra follower?"
"Hmm?" Seven Cap Society looked at Sei Itō in surprise, shook his head, and said, "If you want to follow us, of course, no problem. As long as you don't want to suffer. "
"No problem," Sei Itō smiled and said.
Then, he casually chatted with Seven Cap Society and Chris, and took the initiative to talk to Sharmie. However, the effect wasn't very good. He didn't know if she was really tired. Or was it intentional? She didn't pay much attention to him.
But from Sei Itō's point of view, it seemed intentional. After all, even though Sharmie was a woman, she was still a powerful Pugilist who had grasped absolute power. Due to her occasional awakening, her understanding of absolute power was quite profound. How could she not have the strength to speak just because of a mere twenty minutes of bass playing? Chris, who was the lead singer and looked like a child, didn't feel tired at all.
But Sei Itō also knew that he was in the wrong, so he had no choice but to shamelessly stick to Sharmie and wait for her to finish today's work before teaching her a lesson.
Just like that, Ito Sei accompanied the three of them to their pre-booked performance venues, where they played a lot of music until 11: 00 pm. Chris teased Ito Sei, who didn't think too much about it, and Shiga Shiga pretended not to notice it. Ito Sei accompanied the three of them to their pre-booked performance venues, where they played a lot of music until 11: 00 pm …
"It's finally over." Chris, who left the bar from the back door, raised his arms high, stretched, and said with a look of relief.
"Let's go, I'll send you back." Sei Itō said.
"No need, you should send Sharmie back. Chris and I can take the subway back." Seven Cap Society, who was carrying a guitar bag, shook his head and said.
Who would have thought that he was a guy with good eyesight. He knew to create an opportunity for Sei Itō and Sharmie, who might have had a conflict, to be alone.
While Sharmie wasn't paying attention, Sei Itō secretly gave Seven Cap Society a thumbs up, meaning: You're a good friend.
Shiga gave Ito Seiji a look that said, "Do as you see fit." Then, he reached out and held Chris's head, half forcibly taking him to the distance.
"Goodbye, Sharmie sister. Goodbye, Ito-san." Chris turned his head. He waved his arms and said goodbye.
Sei Itō and Sharmie waved together, responding to Chris' words.
"Let's go home." Sei Itō, who was carrying Sharmie's bass in his hand, reached out and pulled Sharmie's hand and said.
"What do you mean go home? That's my house, not yours." Sharmie snorted. Then she shook off Sei Itō's hand and strode toward Sei Itō's car.
Since she didn't call a taxi. It meant that she wasn't angry and could be fooled.
Seeing this, Sei Itō quickly carried his bag to the front of the car, opened the back door, put the bass bag in the back seat, and then closed the door. Opening the front door, he and Sharmie sat in the driver's seat.
"Bang." The two closed the door together.
Sei Itō started the car, slowly drove away from the back street of the bar, and moved toward Sharmie's apartment.
"Dear, did you misunderstand me?" When the car was on the road, Sei Itō took the initiative to break the silence in the car and said.
"Misunderstood? I don't think so. Who would believe that you disappeared with a young and beautiful girl for nearly half a month? "Sharmie glanced at Sei Itō and said lightly.
"Hey, hey, what do you mean by disappeared for half a month? Didn't I call back and say that I was helping Athena with her training? "Sei Itō said helplessly.
"Training? Doesn't she have a master? What does it have to do with you? "Sharmie sneered. She asked back.
"That's because her master doesn't have superpowers, but I do." Sei Itō explained.
"Superpowers? Heh … Even I, your girlfriend in name, don't know about it. How did she know? "Sharmie snorted.
"Did you forget? She and I both participated in this year's King of Fighters Tournament. At that tournament, I used my superpowers. That's why she knew. "Sei Itō explained.
"King of Fighters Tournament …" Sharmie dragged her voice.
Then the car was silent again. No one spoke.
"What's that? When you're done with this collection, let's go on a trip. Tell me where you want to go, and I'll accompany you. " Sei Itō spoke again.
"Is this compensation?" Sharmie looked at him with a faint smile.
"How can this be compensation? I'm sincere, okay?" Sei Itō said angrily.
"Let's hope so," Sharmie said softly as she turned her head and looked out the window at the colorful lights that slid back one after another.
After a while, the car finally arrived at Sharmie's rented apartment. Sei Itō parked the car, turned off the engine, took out the key, and got out of the car with Sharmie. They walked up the stairs to Sharmie's apartment.
"Go take a shower. I'll make you something to eat in the kitchen." Sei Itō, who followed Sharmie into the apartment, put down the bass bag, took off his shoes, and walked to the kitchen. He didn't look back as he said to Sharmie, who was still taking off her sandals at the entrance.
Although Sharmie didn't say anything, she still went into the bathroom as she was told and started washing herself in the sound of splashing water.
Women took a long time to take a shower, not to mention in a country like Japan where soaking was popular. After getting used to the custom of soaking, it took even longer. Therefore, Sharmie didn't come out of the bathroom until Sei Itō finished making supper with two dishes and a soup.
Sei Itō had no choice but to walk to the bathroom door, reach out, and knock on the door.
"Honey, dinner is ready. Come out and eat."
"Got it."
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of water splashing came from behind the closed door. After about five or six minutes, Sharmie, who was wrapped in a white bathrobe, with her hair still wet, came out of the bathroom. She sat down at the dining table in the living room and enjoyed supper with Sei Itō.
During this process, Sharmie still treated Sei Itō in a silent way.
"No, this is too passive. I must change the method, otherwise, I will be even more passive in the future." Sei Itō, who was silently eating the hot meal, thought to himself.
A moment later, the two of them ended the silent dinner and left the table. One of them took the dishes into the kitchen to wash, while the other went straight to the bedroom and locked the door from the inside.
The meaning was obvious, don't come to my bed today.
"Hiss." Sei Itō, who was washing the dishes in the kitchen, took a deep breath.
"Hmph, aren't you forcing me to attack again? Since that's the case, don't blame me for being impolite." Sei Itō snorted in his heart.
After washing the dishes, Sei Itō left the kitchen and went to the bathroom to wash up before bed.
"Hmph, you want to stop me with a small door? Dream on! " After a while, Sei Itō, who was also wearing a bathrobe, walked out of the bathroom and stood in front of Sharmie's bedroom door with a strange smile on his face.
Then, with a thought, he instantly disappeared from where he was standing. In the next second, he appeared in Sharmie's bedroom, blocking Sharmie's path in a parallel line.
Sharmie, who felt something was wrong, immediately opened her eyes. Then, Sei Itō's face with a strange smile appeared in her eyes. Then, without waiting for Sharmie to react, Sei Itō suddenly lowered his body and kissed Sharmie's lips. Using skillful techniques, he opened her white jade gate and entered the Heaven Lake, chasing the fishes inside.
However, at this moment, a violent aura exploded from Sharmie's body, bringing with it traces of destructive dark lightning that shot out in all directions.
"Boom!"
The wooden bed, which couldn't withstand the attack, was immediately destroyed by the lightning, causing Sharmie and Sei Itō to fall to the ground.
Then, Sei Itō's figure flashed and appeared on the ground at the side of the room. He frowned and stared at Sharmie, who stood up from the collapsed bed. Her clothes were torn and destroyed by the lightning, revealing her skin and sexy figure. However, her eyes were filled with strong killing intent.
"Awakened?" Sei Itō thought to himself with uncertainty.
The reason why he wasn't sure was because the aura on Sharmie's body was very unstable at this moment. She had a high comprehension of absolute power, some of it was similar to the dark power of Storm Gaunitz, and a small amount of ultimate power. It made it impossible to determine what she would become.
But soon, the result was revealed.
Sharmie, who had been glaring at him with eyes filled with killing intent, suddenly froze. The aura around her body was the same as when it had first appeared. Then, all of a sudden, it completely disappeared. After that, her eyes turned white and she fell limply to the ground.
Seeing this, Sei Itō didn't hesitate. He reached out and grabbed Sharmie's body in front of him. He reached out and hugged her in his arms.
"Not enough strength? Or is it that her physical fitness can't support the awakening of the 'Lightning Fury' attribute? Or is she still lacking the last bit of opportunity? "Looking at Sharmie's naked body in his arms, Sei Itō thought subconsciously.
But then, he put these thoughts aside for the time being. His feet slightly shook, shooting out small electric light toward the collapsed bed. He used alchemy to restore it to its original state.
