Five minutes later.
The Red Pepper Band, which had paused their performance, walked out from backstage and onto the stage again, and the audience was immediately surprised.
Because there was one less member among them, but one more person who shouldn't have been there.
"Ah, ah." Ai Cheng Hana Lian tapped the microphone to test it, then said, "Sorry to have kept everyone waiting, Nanachan is feeling a bit under the weather, so we let her leave early. But we didn't want to give up on the performance, we still have one last song to sing, so we've brought in a substitute guitarist—Mr. Kagura!"
Kagura Hikaru, wearing a black mask (borrowed), nodded towards the audience.
He appeared indifferent on the surface, but was sweating buckets behind the scenes.
He gripped the electric guitar tightly, his heart doing somersaults, fearing a cold reception.
He had never had the experience of performing on stage—at least not since losing his memory!
