Kessoku Kokoro | A Bocchi the Rock Fanfic

Chapter 5: Bad Roll

"THIS ISN'T FUNNY-" Tokumei screamed at the top of his lungs as he bounced up and down the stage.

"I'm saving this in my phone's gallery forever. Thank you magic dice," Ryo took photos while wiping tears from her eyes. 

"Sh-should we stop. We kind of need to practice," Hitori mentioned while keeping Tokumei suspended by holding the cable wire. 

"5 more minutes," Nijika giggled as she recorded a video.

-Flashback-

Starry. It felt familiar to him. He didn't know why, but that was about to be explained to him since he bumped into his-

"Sister?" He asked.

"Oh. So you're the singer Ryo was sending. Well, hurry up in there. You've got to practice before the night comes," PA-san pointed her thumb inside the live house. 

"Yeah, but what are you doing here-" He entered the door. Then, he immediately realized the death trap that awaited him. Then, he immediately dashed to leave the place. His sister grabbed him by the hood, preventing him to leave. "NO PLEASE. SIS DON'T DO THIS TO ME."

"Ohhh Seikaaaaaaaaaa," PA-san giggled.

"SIS. YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU, BUT PLEASE-" He stopped running. Frantically getting her hand to stop holding his hood. 

"What?" the older blonde woman asked.

"You remember (Redacted). My darling little brother?" She asked.

"Yeah. Little twerp wouldn't stop talking about how cool you were," Seika mentioned.

"Well, here he is. All grown up now," PA-san carried her little brother like a cat and forced him to face Seika. "From the looks of his face, he still hasn't outgrown his crush on you eh?"

"I have-" Tokumei's face said otherwise. 

"Huh. It's been a while. You better start practicing your vocals. You're going to be the one person that everyone will lay their eyes on tonight. That is if you're good," Seika then left the room and headed upstairs to await her younger sister. 

"I'll have to go do my job now. Stay and let Ryo walk you through everything okay?" PA-san dropped her little brother on the couch besides his blue haired friend.

"PA-san's brother... Who would've guessed?" Ryo smirked as she sat on the couch, cross legged with one arm relaxing on the armrest. "Also, now I know what kind of girl you're into. Blonde tsunderes... I guess that makes sense."

"Don't use that to blackmail me for food. I'm already giving you some for free," Tokumei pouted.

"Dinner isn't enough. Lunch and Breakfast too," Ryo scrolled down her Insta feed. Based from the drool on her face, she's definitely looking at food. 

"What's next you want me to live in your house?" He sarcastically asked.

"You can be my personal chef... If that happens, I'll pay-" She looked at him with a smug face.

"Time to learn how to cook then," He immediately opened his phone to learn how to cook ramen.

"You're so easy to mooch off of. Anyway," She stood up and walked to the drink dispenser. Got a cup and pushed the button. Then took a sip. 

He followed suit. "So does this place give drinks for free-"

He and Ryo got two smacks on the head each from Seika.

"OF COURSE NOT-" The angry blonde screamed. She extended her hand and then asked, "Money?"

Ryo looked at him.

'...'

'...'

'I hate her.'

'Sometimes you do.'

Tokumei gave Seika 1000 yen. Wow. He's never drinking here again. The drinks in the mall are somehow cheaper than this. 

"Good," Seika huffed. She then looked at the two girls going inside the live house. "CALL ME MANAGER NEXT TIME ALRIGHT NIJIKA?!"

"Sure sis- Manager," Nijika looked away from her sister's rage fueled glare. "Oh, you're that singer guy!"

"I'm Tokumei," He introduced himself, slightly seriously this time.

"...Uh... I'm... Sorry I don't have a chuuni name," Nijika clasped her hands together and bowed. "I'm Nijika though. Pleasure to meet you."

'You know... Maybe people should just use your real name instead.'

'NO.'

'Fine.'

"You remember Nijika right? Back when you were kids?" PA-san asked.

"Uh, no...," He whispered. Was he supposed to? As far as he knows, he's only met this girl today-

"Wait, (Redacted)? OH. It is you! It's been so long. I'm sorry I didn't recognize you- Oh wait, you don't recognize me now. We can start over. No worries."

"No. Not (Redacted). I'm Tokumei. Were we like childhood friends or something?" He made a random guess. Surely a scenario from an anime wouldn't happen to him in real life-

"Yeah!" She smiled.

'HOW COULD YOU FORGET YOUR FIRST FRIEND-'

'I DON'T KNOW I WAS A KID-'

'KIDS DON'T FORGET FRIENDS. WHAT WOULD YOUR CHILDHOOD HERO SAY TO YOU?'

'THAT I'M A DISAPPOINMENT...'

"Anyway, uh, ...huh. Shall we start practicing or something? Hey, Hitori come on! We've got to fulfill your dream!" Tokumei called out to his friend. 

"Give me like an hour. Or two," Hitori announced from outside the door. 

Seika cracked her knuckles and went up the stairs. "...Someone help me lift her."

-Timeskip-

The four of them sat around a round table. Each of them having their own individual chairs. The atmosphere got a lot lighter once Seika and PA-san left to take care of other matters. None of which Tokumei paid attention to. Because you know, it's his sister. In front of his two friends and... Nijika he guesses. 

"So, Kessoku Band, what do we do?" Tokumei asked. 

"I hate that name so much," Nijika muttered. 

"I find it punny," Ryo smiled. 

"I hate that I'm laughing at that," Tokumei giggled. 

"I quite like the name," Hitori meekly raised her hand only to put it down.

"Can we change it?" Nijika asked. "I don't want people to look at cable wires and then be reminded of our band."

"All for changing Kessoku Band to something else?" Tokumei asked.

Nijika was the only one who raised her hand. Grumpily, she crossed her arms and said, "Come on!"

"Kessoku Band it is," Tokumei announced the end of the vote. "And now I've run out of topics to talk about."

"I honestly want to know about the past you have with this place," Ryo said before sipping on some drinks again.

"My sister's PA-san. That's all I remember. Unfortunately," Tokumei blurted out. 

"Well then, we can use the magic dice," Nijika suggested.

"Magic what now?" Tokumei asked before Ryo tossed him the dice. He grabbed it before it could smack him in the face. Unfortunately for him, the side that landed was:

Bungee Jump

"Excuse me what? Surely, you gals aren't going to-" 

"MANAGER WE GOT A BUNGEE JUMP," Nijika called out to her sister.
