When I woke up, there was a familiar ceiling. Or rather, my room.
I had a terrible headache, like a series of drums beating in my head. Nausea and fatigue are also in the air.
This is a hangover. I remember this discomfort because I have already tasted alcohol even though I am underage, and I sometimes drink heavily.
But I can’t remember why I got so drunk.
What did I do yesterday?
Why did I drink until I was this drunk?
What day is it today?
“Ugh,……my head hurts. Water……”
Various questions are going through my mind, but it doesn’t matter. Anyway, I need water.
“Here you go, water.”
“Thank you.”
A bottle of natural water was handed to me as I woke up. I open the bottle and pour in the contents.
“Phew, I’m back to life! ! Thank you.”
“You’re welcome. Are you awake?”
“Thanks to you. …..Well, who are you?”
I asked in a blurred tone, looking at the girl in my sleepy eyes.
A girl I don’t know is in the room.
A girl with long black hair, wearing a cream-colored knit, was sitting upright on the side of the bed, looking up at me.
Hmmm, who is she? I recognize her, but I don’t know her name.
Despite the oddity of the situation, I remain calm. I’m not feeling very threatened, partly because of the headache and partly because I have a gut feeling that she’s not a bad person.
“Ehh, it’s Ari ! Look, I was in the park yesterday……”
“Ari, Ari, Ari……. Ah, Ari san !”
I remembered. I met this girl at Joshi Park last night, a fan of mine. I remember I played the guitar for her and she was so happy.
“Did you remember?”
“I remembered. I remember, but…..why are you in my room?”
I remember the part where I played for her and people gathered around and it felt good. But how I got back home after that is a mystery.
“Kingo drank a lot of alcohol in the park and collapsed.”
“Seriously?”
“I tried to call an ambulance, but you suddenly got up, drank some water, and you said you were going to walk home alone.”
I’m such a tough guy.
“But you were staggered, and I was worried, so I accompanied you home.”
“I-I’m sorry for the trouble I caused you.”
I’m so embarrassed. I was a total mess, chugging a bottle and collapsing in front of a fan girl.
I got down on my knees on the bed and apologized and thanked her.
“I was not annoyed at all. I was the one who followed you around on my own. In fact, isn’t Kingo bothered by following me?”
“No, that’s not true ! If Ari san hadn’t accompanied me, I wouldn’t have been able to come back. I would have added alcohol to my drink and this time I would have died, or else I would have become a truck boy and reincarnated in another world.”
“A-another world? What do you mean?”
Ari san laughed bitterly.
She can make a face like that.
I’m aware that I’m saying things that don’t make any sense.
“So you took care of me all night?”
“Yeah, I wanted Kingo to get better.”
“Is that so? It’s very kind of you to take the initiative to take care of me, Ari san.”
No matter how much of a fan she is, I must be a total stranger under the stage. The reason why she worries about me and takes care of me is probably because she is kind at heart.
But it’s not safe for a girl to come into a man’s house.
Maybe she’s a little strange?
I thought. But,
“Taking initiative…… If Kingo asks me to do something like that, I can’t refuse…….”
“Like that?”
Ari san’s cheeks suddenly turned bright red, and she timidly answered, averting her gaze.
Did I ask her to take care of me?
“[I don’t want to be alone tonight. I want your warmth to keep me warm] you said……”
“Did I say something so embarrassing !?”
Hey, me from last night ! What are you doing to your fan girl !
“After that, Kingo, you were so sweet. [Your hair is the night sky, your eyes are the Milky Way. You can see the Milky Way even in the city sky.] you said…… It was like you were singing to me and it was so soothing……”
Oh, oh, oh, me from last night ! What are you doing !
You brought in a fan girl and hit on her like it was normal !
I mean, isn’t that lyric so lame !?
“Forget it !”
I can die of embarrassment !
“Ehehe, I can’t do it. I love Kingo so much that I remember all the lyrics he wrote. I can’t forget.”
Ari san moved timidly. Her face had a smile so wide that it seemed like her cheeks would fall, and she was holding her cheeks with both hands.
I was feeling a headache in another way as well, and if there was a hole, I’d want to crawl in it.
I never thought I’d make black history that night I got fired from the band…….
I’m too lame…….
