[Comprehensive] Bend, those men!

Because Kurosaki Ranmaru left in a hurry, Okumura Takuya followed behind Kurosaki and the other party didn't notice him.Furthermore, it was the weekend, and there were many pedestrians on the street. Even some young girls didn't stop when they saw a handsome man. They put most of their minds on shopping and shopping.

Okumura followed Kurosaki Road through many streets, until a noisier street appeared in front of him, and the man finally stopped.It was a specially vacated venue, and a simple stage was set up on the venue, with stand microphones and other music equipment set up on it.At this moment, many spectators stood one after another under the stage, and there was a circle of staff checking tickets on the outside.

Similar to a small music festival, Takuya Okumura has a general understanding of the situation by looking at the posters placed beside the stage.Audiences who buy tickets can sit in the inner circle, and there are special seats. It’s not that audiences who don’t buy tickets can’t listen to music, but they have to stand on the outside. Still listening to music, this place is about to become lively.

In order to gain popularity, some well-known singers were specifically mentioned on the poster.Generally speaking, big-name singers would not choose such occasions to sing. The singers who came here were either for others to appreciate his talent, or to earn some appearance fees.The organizer has enough funds to invite heavyweight singers to play a show, and Takumi Okumura also understands through the stage and facilities that the organizer does not have the ability to invite singers with high appearance fees.He was a little curious about Kurosaki Ranmaru's choice to come here. After all, Kurosaki and Camus are a well-known combination. Why did they come alone to participate in such public activities?

This stage is much more free than other professional places. Many street performers who have not signed a contract with the firm can apply to perform on stage, but those who are not invited by the organizer will not be paid. If the audience responds strongly, they may get a good one. opportunity to perform on stage again.

Kurosaki Ranmaru is obviously not a person who came to sing for free. Okumura saw that Kurosaki was led backstage by a group of people beside the stage. Although the songs could be heard outside the stage, he definitely couldn't see the performance of the above people clearly.He has a lot of money in this world, and now he can only buy the middle seat when buying tickets. The lady got the ticket in hand.

Sitting closest to the stage, Okumura also waited for the performance to start.Noticing that the seats under the stage were almost full, the host finally picked up the microphone and introduced the upcoming performers with a high-pitched voice.Most of the performers on stage were bands, and they were very good at stirring up the atmosphere. It didn't take long for the audience around Okumura to wave their hands to the beat of the band, and the relaxed mood spread quickly.

Takuya Okumura has never seen performances like this. He usually goes to studios and other places to watch performances. Now it seems that the open-air stage also has a unique charm.The singers on the stage and the audience in the audience can interact so closely, no wonder the audience's response is so enthusiastic.

Waiting for Kurosaki Ranmaru's performance, Okumura Takuya sat on a chair, looked at the man in a punk outfit, badly dressed and full of wildness, and couldn't help laughing in a low voice, "This kind of dress is unexpectedly handsome." This kind of The outfit of a typical rock singer is very suitable for Kurosaki's own aura, and even men say cool when they see it.

Kurosaki Ranmaru is obviously more popular than some of the previous singers. He acts as the bass player and lead singer of the band. He said that it is a band. Seeing how Kurosaki greets the band members, he should not be familiar with it.This is a temporarily formed band, they play the popular rock songs nowadays, Kurosaki Ranmaru standing in the center of the stage is very dazzling and shining, as soon as he came on the stage, he shouted loudly: "Get me excited, follow me Follow my rhythm!"

Immediately, there was screaming under the stage, and the sound was deafening.With the sound of Kurosaki's magnetic and explosive voice, the audience around Okumura waved their arms. He sat firmly in his seat as if he was out of the way. When all the audience below stood up, he became the most conspicuous one. viewer.

Kurosaki Ranmaru on the stage undoubtedly noticed the special audience in the audience. When the audience raised his head, he almost broke a note.His rich performance experience allowed him to complete the performance perfectly, but when he thought of the person in the audience watching his performance and smiling at him, Kurosaki Ranmaru had a serious face, and doubts emerged in his heart: how could that guy will be in this place?No one was told of his itinerary.

As soon as Kurosaki Ranmaru's performance was over, after receiving the appearance fee, he continued to rush to the stage, but he didn't expect to change his clothes and come out again, and Okumura Taku was already standing outside waiting for him.

"It's just a coincidence. It's rare for me to relax and book a ticket, and I saw Kurosaki-kun's performance." Okumura Takuya walked up to Kurosaki Ranmaru, and praised softly, "Sure enough, Kurosaki-kun's rock music is very good. Everyone loves it." I was easily driven by you."

Kurosaki Ranmaru glanced at Takuya, his tone rose slightly, "Are you mocking me?"

"Huh? When did I mock you?" Okumura Takuya frowned pretending to be puzzled, "I really think so."

"If it's true, then why aren't you motivated by me?" Kurosaki Ranmaru said, feeling bored, turned his head and snorted softly.Why should he care about this person's opinion in his performance, anyway, looking at Takuya's appearance is completely perfunctory to him.Since the other party is in the first row of the auditorium, it means that he has indeed booked a ticket a long time ago, and this encounter is probably a coincidence.

Okumura Taku also squinted his eyes and chuckled, "Kurosaki-kun sings other people's songs so well, I want to hear your own songs more. Speaking of which, the office will arrange formal performance work for you, usually busy enough , don't you rest on weekends?"

His own song... Kurosaki Ranmaru thought of the song that was written, and it was incredible for him to fill in the words in one go.It usually takes a week or two to write a lyrics by myself, but when he encounters a song adapted by Takuya, he will be inspired to fill in the lyrics that are not written by him at all, so he will not sing them out .

"You bought the ticket to listen to the music. The performance there is not over yet. Why are you following me?" Kurosaki Ranmaru asked in a cold tone, seeing the distance between the man next to him and him was only a punch away, he strode forward some.

"I've seen Kurosaki's performance, and I'm not interested in the rest." Okumura Takuya spread his hands and shrugged helplessly, "Anyway, I enjoyed the most important performance, and the rest doesn't matter."

Kurosaki Ranmaru paused, and Takuya's straightforward praise seemed to dispel the sullenness in his heart.He glanced at Takuya, and slowed down his pace a little, "Whispering."

Takuya Okumura smiled, and continued to follow closely and asked, "What else do you have next?"

"I'm very busy. If you're bored, find another place by yourself. Don't follow me." Kurosaki Ranmaru thought that if he said this, the guy next to him would leave with a sense of humor, but the other party didn't take what he said seriously at all, and justified his words. Said that he wanted to see his performance again.

"I think watching more performances will increase my inspiration for composing, Kurosaki, don't worry about me, just show me, I won't disturb you." Okumura also ignored Kurosaki Ranmaru's stern expression, Kurosaki No matter how indifferent, it didn't really stop him.He was obviously very happy to hear his praise, but he acted so indifferently, it's really a bit inconsistent.

Okumura Takuya did not speak, and the atmosphere between the two became a little more subtle. He rolled his eyes and said to Kurosaki Ranmaru who didn't even look at him: "Last time I modified other composers without authorization. Your score, this is too rude. If you, Kurosaki, don’t like the tune I changed, then please pretend that I didn’t do anything, and take me to apologize to the original composer by the way.”

"I showed him." After Kurosaki Ranmaru was shocked by the piece, he showed the revised score to the composer who composed the music for their group, and the other party kept praising the revised version. , I also want to know Takuya.For this reason, that guy has bothered him for many days, Kurosaki Ranmaru was so annoying that he told that person Okumura Takuya's name, but that guy got more energetic and wanted to find out more about Takuya.Muttering something, 'Is that the person?That person will appear here? 'This kind of inexplicable words.He held it back for a long time before he asked any more questions.

"Well, what do you think...?" Okumura Takuya stared closely at Kurosaki Ranmaru, waiting for the man to give him an evaluation.

Kurosaki Ranmaru murmured, "Not bad..."

"What?" Okumura Taku asked again as if he didn't hear what Kurosaki Ranmaru was saying.

"I said yes, don't make me repeat it a second time!" Kurosaki Ranmaru blushed slightly, and said it again impatiently, this time turning his head and not talking to Li Takuya again.

Okumura Taku also found it funny, and then walked several times with Kurosaki Ranmaru.Coincidentally, at the last scene, the keyboard player of the band who partnered with Kurosaki Ranmaru had a temporary abdominal pain and was rushed to the hospital.With no one to replace the keyboard player, Okumura received a request from Kurosaki Ranmaru.Of course, it may be more appropriate to describe it as a requirement.

"We don't have much time to invite people. Okumura, can you play the electronic piano?" Kurosaki Ranmaru was a little annoyed by the situation in the last performance today. It's a waste of time.

Okumura Takuya made an OK gesture, took the score handed over by Kurosaki Ranmaru, and memorized the score after reading it twice.For this reason, the other band members let out a sigh of relief.

"Okumura will replace the keyboard player, and that's all settled." Kurosaki Ranmaru had never heard Takuya play a tune, and even so, he somehow believed that the other party could do this well.This kind of unfounded trust has never existed before.Trust... how could he trust others?

Facts have proved that Kurosaki Ranmaru's choice is not wrong.When several members of the band performed on the stage, even though Okumura Takumi hadn't practiced with them, the sound of the piano blended harmoniously into the playing of the other members.If they didn't know that this was someone who had just read the score twice, they would have thought it was their old partner.And in a sense, the other party's piano sound even covered up the flaws in other people's performances, which made the band members pleasantly surprised for a while, and offered olive branches to Takuya one after another.

"Fortunately, Kurosaki-kun brought someone here today, it really saved the day."

"Has Mr. Okumura joined other bands? If you don't mind, can you work with us if you have the opportunity?"

"Our band is short of people like Okumura-kun, it will be even better if you join us!"

The band's drummer and guitarist surrounded Takuya enthusiastically, even Kurosaki Ranmaru, who had worked with them several times, had never seen that kind of appearance.

"Sorry, I came here only to watch Ranmaru's performance." Okumura Taku also automatically replaced Kurosaki's unfamiliar name with Ranmaru, and thanked them with a smile, "If Ranmaru will take me with you next time Come, then I can help anytime."

Kurosaki Ranmaru's heart thumped, and he clenched his fingers tightly. Seeing the pleading eyes of other members, he curled his lips awkwardly, "If there is a chance..."

"That's great, Kurosaki-kun!"

"Next time we have cooperation, don't forget us!"

Several people said a few words briefly, and separated after receiving the news that the keyboard player was fine.The sun is also gradually setting in the west, and the dim light shines on the road, bringing a little warmth.

Okumura Takuya also wandered around for a day, and his stomach protested against him. He touched his abdomen, turned his head and joked to Kurosaki Ranmaru: "Ranmaru, I have been hungry all day just to be with you, is there any place where I can have a meal?" pause?"

"..." He was quite happy to hear this familiar tone, and Kurosaki Ranmaru said that he had the illusion again.

"Ranmaru?"

"I know a store." Kurosaki Ranmaru thought for a moment, then led Takuya to another street.He glanced at Takuya's face with a gentle smile. Today, he did get help from the other party. In order not to owe favors, he simply...

Okumura Takuya also followed Kurosaki Ranmaru to a restaurant named 'Paselli'.There was an old couple in the restaurant, they looked amiable, and when they saw Kurosaki Ranmaru, they greeted him familiarly: "Xiaolan, this is your friend?"

Okumura Taku also looked at Kurosaki Ranmaru, the name Xiaolan was as interesting as the name Ranlan of Kotobuki Natori, and it seemed that calling it this way would make him more familiar.

"Hey, grandpa, don't call me that in front of others!" Kurosaki Ranmaru roared with embarrassment, glanced at Takuya, and ordered: "Find a seat and sit down."

"Okay, Xiaolan." Okumura also nodded, found a seat by the window obediently and sat down, and asked the blushing man, "Aren't you going to sit with me?"

Kurosaki Ranmaru glared at Takuya in embarrassment, then turned and walked towards the kitchen of the restaurant, "You sit and wait for me!"

"Tsk, I really have a bad temper." Okumura Taku also sighed, and took the drink from the old couple. At this time, the restaurant was not very busy, and he chatted with the two old people casually.

"Don't look at that Xiaolan kid so fierce on the outside, but he's actually very lonely, nice and capable." The silver-haired grandma sat opposite Takuya, who was also the first friend Kurosaki Ranmaru took the initiative to bring, The old lady was very happy that Herosaki had such a good-looking friend, and said in a casual way, "He helped us a lot when he was working here."

Okumura Taku also took a sip of orange juice, looked at the figure who was busy in the kitchen in the chef's uniform, and was full of emotion, "I can't usually tell that Ranmaru has worked here?"

"Well, before he became a baseball player, Xiaolan was helping in the kitchen, and the sauce he made was excellent." The old man smiled wrinkledly, and he could see that he admired Kurosaki Ranmaru.

"Baseball player?" Okumura Takuya paused, then laughed, and waved to the two kind old people, "Grandpa, grandma, Ranmaru is a singer."

"Singer?" The old man looked surprised, "He told us to 'hold home base'..."

"If I'm not mistaken, he should be talking about playing the bass." Okumura Takuya also pointed to the bass placed by Kurosaki Ranmaru next to the dining table. "Bass" and "home base" have the same Japanese pronunciation, no wonder the grandfather and the others misunderstood .

Okumura Takuya had a good chat with this talkative old couple, and when Kurosaki Ranmaru served the omelet rice he made by himself, he found that Takuya had already used the more intimate title of grandpa and grandma to the two couples.He murmured to himself, why is this guy so popular everywhere, and there are countless people chasing him, just thinking about it is... irritating.

"Hurry up and go back after eating." Kurosaki Ranmaru snorted, turned around and took out the lamb chops he had fried, and poured a glass of red wine by the way.

Takumi Okumura also twitched the corner of his mouth, "Why is yours lamb chops and mine omelet rice?"

"You drink orange juice, which is very suitable for omelet rice." Kurosaki Ranmaru curled his mouth, and the store gradually became busy in the evening, and the old couple went to greet other customers. Only he and Takuya were left in this small space .

Okumura Taku also felt that Kurosaki Ranmaru must be angry because he called that 'Xiao Ran', this guy is really small-minded.But after all, Kurosaki Ranmaru cooked the rice himself, and he was very curious about the taste.Picking up a spoon, he dug a mouthful into his mouth, chewed a few mouthfuls, his eyes widened in surprise.This is the first time he has eaten such a delicious omurice. The rice is crystal clear mixed with rich sauce, and then wrapped with a crispy egg yolk, so that Okumura, who has been hungry all day, tasted what is called food.

A simple omurice has such a taste, no wonder the old couple in this store would praise him so much, it is so rare to see an idol with such craftsmanship.

Kurosaki Ranmaru looked at Takuya quickly eating the omelet rice in the bowl, with a pleasant smile in his eyes, did this idiot think he was targeting him?Omurice is his best food, and it is the best to entertain Takuya.He lowered his head and cut open the lamb chops on the plate, put a piece into Takuya's bowl, coughed twice, "Don't you want to eat it, try it."

"Thank you." Okumura Taku also unceremoniously ate the lamb chops that Kurosaki Ranmaru handed over. As expected, they were equally delicious.After finishing their meal in such a warm atmosphere, the two said goodbye to the old couple in the Passelli restaurant and walked out of the restaurant.

"It's getting dark, you hurry back." Kurosaki Ranmaru rolled his eyes at Takuya, who followed him step by step. He had already entertained him, why is this guy still following...

"Tomorrow is Sunday, and you are still on holiday. I see that you are very busy, Ranmaru. Anyway, I am bored, so I will be with you." Okumura Takuya also learned about Kurosaki Ranmaru this day, and he is very interested. How could he be here? At this time, give up in-depth communication.

"You stay in the villa, many people will accompany you, why come to me!"

"Ranmaru, what you said really seems to be jealous."

"You... enough nonsense!"

"Ranmaru, are you going home? It's settled, I'll stay at your place tonight."

"..." Kurosaki Ranmaru saw that Takuya was following closely beside him, and something in his heart relaxed, and he took Takuya to the place where he lived somehow.

It was a residential area. Kurosaki Ranmaru lived in a two-story residential building. It looked very dilapidated, and even the handrails of the stairs were full of rust.

"It doesn't look like a place where idols live?" Kurosaki Ranmaru laughed at himself, with a bit of bitterness in his eyes.

"It's a little bit." Okumura Takuya also understood the reason why Kurosaki Ranmaru worked so hard by himself... The room was quite different from the outside, very clean and tidy.The shelves are full of CDs, and there are several electric guitars next to the sofa.

"Let me tell you in advance that I have no tea or coffee here." Kurosaki Ranmaru pointed to the sofa, "You sit here first, I haven't tidied up the room, so bear with it for now."

Okumura Taku also sat on the sofa and watched Kurosaki Ranmaru tidy up the bedroom. When the man arrived beside him, he opened his mouth and asked, "Ranmaru, are you the heir to the Kurosaki Zaibatsu family?"

Kurosaki Ranmaru was stunned for a while before saying, "How do you know?"

"I didn't expect it at first, but it's actually just my guess. I want to hear your story from your own mouth." Takuya Okumura didn't have any information about Kurosaki Ranmaru in his mind, but apart from Jinguji and the Seikawa Zaibatsu, who once There was a chaebol who was famous for a while and then ruined for a while.

Kurosaki Ranmaru stared into Takuya's bright black eyes, and after so many years, suddenly felt the desire to confide in someone.He leaned back on the sofa and looked up, "At the beginning, my father borrowed money everywhere, and the family collapsed because of it. With the decline of the Kurosaki Zaibatsu, the family house was used to offset the money, and the family lived in my mother's hometown. Dad died of overwork, he wanted to save the Kurosaki Zaibatsu, but it was useless. After his death, he only left a huge amount of debt, I am the son of the Kurosaki family, and I must do something to survive."

"I don't have anything to rely on but music. Join a band, come here with a bass, and try to trade music for everything. I can't fail, or it's over..."

"Using music?" Okumura Takumi also twitched the corners of his mouth. Does this mean that Kurosaki is too naive.

"You think I'm stupid, but I don't think about anything other than music. No matter what, I can't pay off the amount owed, and I just live alone." Kurosaki Ranmaru covered his face with his hands, and narrated in front of Takuya Recalling this past incident, his heart was full of sourness.How do I compare myself with others, whether it is Ren Jinguji or Seikawa Manto, and the prince of Agnapales and Camus who is the earl, he only has music...

"That's why you don't trust anyone?" Okumura Takuya stretched out his hand, grabbed Kurosaki Ranmaru's wrist, and said in a deep voice, "Shou Lingji and the others are very concerned about you, don't put all the burden on yourself In people, the meaning of a partner is to give support..."

Kurosaki Ranmaru shook Kai Takuya's hand, interrupted the other party's words, and said with a gloomy face: "You don't understand anything!"

"It's better to share the burden with everyone than to be brave alone. Did you trust me when you told me these things?"

"I said it's not necessary!" Kurosaki Ranmaru turned around, put his hands on Takuya's neck, and looked down at this handsome man, "Reality is not as simple as what you say, don't put on such a savior look, look Seeing you like this makes me want to vomit in disgust!"

"How much do you know me? Have you seen the dark side of my heart? Do you know how many people suppressed the Kurosaki Zaibatsu when it fell to the bottom, and even the most trusted subordinates betrayed my father! Have you ever been betrayed by someone you trusted! What partner, Not as reliable as a kitten or puppy!"

Okumura also raised his head and sneered, "Betrayal? I've tasted it a long time ago, but it doesn't mean I can't trust others. Speaking of which, these are the things I learned from those cute guys. When you can't If you trust someone, your life will be ruined. Could it be that you don't live well because of the so-called betrayal?"

"Hurry up and disappear from my eyes." Kurosaki Ranmaru stood up, and Takuya's words made him tremble slightly, and his emotions were almost out of control, "I can't do what you do, I am a person who will hurt others without authorization, and feel It doesn’t matter if you hurt yourself.”

Okumura Taku also chuckled. He stepped forward and stroked Kurosaki Ranmaru's cheek with one hand, "Then, it doesn't matter why you show such a sad expression? Aren't you hurting me? Why are you worse than me, the victim?" To be pitiful?"

Kurosaki Ranmaru's strange eyes darkened, he held the wrist next to his cheek, pulled him closer to his arms, and kissed the slightly parted lips hard.Why do you want to provoke him? Why do you still care about him when you have Camus and the others?He is a person with such a dark heart, he gets annoyed when he sees Takuya dangling in front of his eyes, and he gets angry when he sees him helping him.When did I fall in love with such a person, and even told him what I had buried in my heart for many years...
