Chapter 24: Serenade of Unity

Author: Tokumei's birthday is literally tomorrow. So that means you're gonna write a chapter about that right?

Author: I'M SAVING THAT FOR LATER-

Tokumei was strong. Nijika knew that. But being able to carry 2 speakers on top of each other over his shoulders is just ridiculous at this point. Not to mention being able to carry her entire drum set without breaking a sweat in one go. 

So she wasn't hallucinating. He's actually ripped.

'Senpai's training paid off at least,' Tokumei had flashbacks to having to carry 100 boxes of chocolate cakes in one go. He finished assembling the drums and turned to Nijika, who was busy setting up the mics. "Anything else?"

"No, I can handle the rest from here," Nijika felt self-conscious. Yeah he's a boy and all of course he's got more muscles, but having to rely on him for all the heavy stuff isn't good. She looks at her own arms and ponders, 'Should I get buff too?'

"If I use the shower here, it would be free right?" He looked at Seika. 

"No," She said bluntly. 

"Figures," Tokumei got depressed. He then took out his wallet and handed Nijika 500 yen. 

"Make sure that Hiroi isn't in there first," Nijika stuffed the money in her own wallet. She attached the wire into the mic and placed it on the stand. One for Tokumei, the other for Kita. She moved carefully across the stage to prevent herself from stepping on some wires. Or tripping on some speakers. 

Tokumei opened the door to the shower room. And true to her predictions, Hiroi was there. Drooling on the floor no less. Ew.

"Hey Tokumeiiiiiiiiiii," She said, waking up. Slightly sober, but it doesn't stop Tokumei from picking her up bridal style.

"Wow, what a gentleman. PA-san you've raised a very good boy-"

And then tossing her in the trash can.

Not the clean one reserved for Hitori. The old one for... you know what it's for. 

"Hey! That's not how you treat a lady!" She complained. 

"A real lady wouldn't be passed out drunk in my shower room," Seika cracked her knuckles.

"Wait, I can explain why-" Hiroi said before she got a beating.

'I feel like our Ijichi violence is infecting Tokumei,' Nijika wondered if she should be less violent with Ryo. 

Tokumei was tired of her always ending up in the shower room somehow. It's almost weird how she's always there. And when she's there, there's either barf, drool, booze, leftover food or sometimes blood on the floor. He has to clean that up mind you. At first, he didn't mind. Hiroi was a drunk struggling in life. He should be understanding. BUT IT'S BEEN A WHOLE MONTH OF THIS.

Maybe he should suggest to Seika to have security cameras installed. 

He got the mop and began to thoroughly clean the bathroom. It should've been clean. He just cleaned it literally yesterday. Now the toilet's filled with booze and barf again. Could be worse. It could be in the sink.

"Bassists... I swear...," He muttered with his nose held by his hand. This place stunk. He flushed the toilet and then picked up the brush and the bleach. "Can't do anything right except play a damn guitar."

"Yeah, we should really tone down the violence," Nijika said aloud. 

"WHAT SHE SAID- OW-" Hiroi said before getting sucker punched in the face.
