Chapter 19 (1/2)

I oken by the blinding rays shi+ning in my eyes

Despite wanting to wake up, my whole body was sore From my neck toI forcibly sed the moan that was about to slip out of my mouth

I openedsun shone in the car froht As I endured the pain all over ed and looked at the co-driver's seat—Mafuyu was still sleeping soundly as she facedmaroon hair had spread out messily on the tilted seat She looked much better compared to yesterday

I twisted my body around in the cramped driver's seat, stretchedso exercises, I could finally ently opened the door and headed outside

The rain froht had already stopped, and a thick layer of ht was quite intense when I first woke up, but in reality, the sky was barely turning white—it was still rather dark I took my cell phone out of

Still, I didn't have any desire to go back to the car to sleep more

I had slept last night without thinking tooback, Mafuyu was sleeping right next to me, and the car was an enclosed space as well—how could I possibly go back to sleep!

I then realized I had to check whether ently opened the backdoor, trying my best not to make a sound

As I reached forany of my tools with me I'm a real moron I didn't notice for a while because I used to carry theet the application foret wet?

As I was considering looking for a screwdriver in the rubbish heap, I suddenly noticed Mafuyu's guitar lying next to uitar, and had alanted to touch it If possible, I hoped to play it at least once

Since Mafuyu was still sleeping soundly and breathing steadily, I succumbed to my desires pretty quickly I tossed uitar case out of the car I tried to close the door as quietly as possible The car was buried in such a way that it was slightly tilted towards the co-driver's seat, so it was rather difficult to close the door withoutany sounds

I cliair felt really comfortable

I opened the guitar case What lay before rains and coat of transparent lacquer This is an old guitar froht? It probably cost so with anticipation, I tried struers The rich tone that cauitar

I satthethe teertips at the same time At a place where I could hear the real cries of the birds, I began to softly sing the lyrics, as I beca absorbedvoice When I reached the second verse, I decided to raise the volu to

” What song is that?”

The voice of a person suddenly rang, causinght beneathher droopy eyes

”Urm, well”

Mafuyu ht next tomachine, so I could clearly feel the warmth of Mafuyu

”Sorry for playing it without your permission”

”It's fine What's the na?”

I felt e the neck of the guitar

”It's a song called <blackbird>”

”It's a good song”

I was shocked, and liftedher head and looking atwith you?” I quickly shi+fted uitar

”What sort of song is it?”

I had no intention of spouting nonsense this time round

” How much do you know about The Beatles?”

”Not too much,” Mafuyu shook her head

”I see alright” I thought for a while How should I go about telling her this story? ”The members of The Beatles were on extre this song, and were al up And thus, it seeether only after thetheir voices individually”

And yet, that albuardless of how the critics go about with their baseless accusations, musicians can still come up with their finest works under the worst circumstances

”It's said that Paul McCartney had recorded al the sound collage for <revolution 9=””>”
