Transmigrated Become Sukuna, but the host is Yukinoshita Yukino?-Chapter 187 - , Part 13: Let’s Play Guitar

You said you were here to help me find a hobby, but you just wanted to come out and have fun, didn't you?

In a stylishly decorated café, Yukinoshita Haruno sat by the window, gently stirring her coffee with a spoon. The foam, shaped like a cat, slowly swirled and melted into the drink.

"Why would you think that?" Hayashizaki frowned, feeling wrongly accused.

"You look even more excited than I do. Anyone would think the same."

"It's just your imagination," Hayashizaki said casually. "Besides, you look like you're enjoying yourself."

"I am."

Yukinoshita Haruno didn't deny it.

It was strange. She had done most of these things before with her friends at school, yet doing them with Hayashizaki felt different.

Why?

Resting her chin on her hand, Yukinoshita Haruno fell into thought.

Was it because she didn't have to put on a facade in front of him, making her feel more at ease?

"Here's your mille-feuille. Please enjoy."

The waiter placed the dessert on the table, set down the utensils, and then left.

Yukinoshita Haruno picked up the knife and fork with graceful movements, cutting a small piece and bringing it to her mouth.

The sweetness of the strawberry jam seeped into the delicate layers, the crispy outer shell blending perfectly with the soft interior. The rich flavors of cream and wheat filled her mouth, making her eyes narrow slightly in enjoyment.

"As long as you're happy, that's all that matters. At least it wasn't a waste on time," Hayashizaki said helplessly.

Yukinoshita Haruno didn't reply. She simply focused on savoring her dessert.

After finishing the mille-feuille, she took a sip of coffee to cleanse her palate while gazing out the window.

"Hmm?"

Something outside seemed to catch her interest. She blinked.

"Is that... a street performance?"

Through the glass, she saw a group of four at the street corner, dressed in hip-hop-style outfits and holding guitars and a bass. They had even brought a drum set and an amplifier, seemingly preparing for a street performance.

Their setup had already attracted a small crowd of passersby who had nothing else to do.

Once they finished tuning their instruments, a girl holding a guitar—who seemed to be the lead singer—stepped up to the microphone and introduced the band.

Then, the four of them began to play.

They performed four songs—two popular ones and two originals.

The upbeat music flowed through the street, slipping through the glass and into Yukinoshita Haruno's ears.

Judging by her own level of musical knowledge, the band seemed newly formed. The members were young, and their skill levels were uneven.

The gathered audience quickly thinned out. By the time they reached their final song, only about five people remained.

For a new band, this should have been quite disheartening.

Yet, there was no trace of disappointment on their faces. Even when they made mistakes, they didn't show nervousness or stage fright. They were completely immersed in their original song, as if the audience didn't matter at all.

Only the music and their passion remained.

And that passion reflected clearly in Yukinoshita Haruno's eyes.

She stared at them for a moment, then murmured, almost to herself, "This, then?"

"You mean starting a band?" Hayashizaki asked curiously.

"Not necessarily a band... Just the guitar."

After a brief hesitation, Yukinoshita Haruno settled on the guitar.

Her gaze still carried a hint of uncertainty, but she had made up her mind. Compared to all the other things Hayashizaki had suggested earlier, music appealed to her the most.

Besides, giving it a try wouldn't hurt.

"You can play the guitar, right?"

Based on the impression she had given Hayashizaki before, he instinctively assumed that guitar playing was among her many skills.

To his surprise, Yukinoshita Haruno shook her head.

"No. I've only learned piano."

"But music theory is the same. If I practice for a few days, I should get the hang of it."

Her voice was full of confidence. She had always been a fast learner and had studied piano before—there was no reason she couldn't learn guitar.

"Alright, alright. Then I guess today's mission was a success," Hayashizaki said, satisfied.

It feels a bit late to buy a guitar now.

Yukinoshita Haruno glanced at the time—it was already past three in the afternoon. If she wanted to buy a guitar, Shimokitazawa would be a good choice. But if she took the train there now, she wouldn't make it back in time for dinner.

Plus, it was beyond the range of the technique. If something happened at home and her mother found out she had sneaked out, that would be bad.

But her worries were completely unnecessary.

"Just let a clone walk around in front of your mom. I'll take you there."

Yukinoshita Haruno's eyes lit up. How had she forgotten about this guy? But after a brief moment of excitement, reason took over again.

"It's broad daylight. Won't your shikigami stand out too much?"

"It's fine. Normal people can't see most techniques. Your clone is actually one of the more special cases."

"They can't see the technique, but what about people? Wouldn't it be even more obvious if someone saw a person flying through the sky?"

"As long as the speed is fast enough, it won't be a problem," Hayashizaki replied casually.

With the problem solved, Yukinoshita Haruno had no reason to refuse and immediately switched places with Hayashizaki.

The short-haired girl's elegant demeanor changed in an instant. Just by changing her gaze—

Hayashizaki picked up the coffee, downed it in one go, and smacked her lips.

"Yeah... I still prefer alcohol. Coffee just doesn't do it for me."

"Hey! Don't go drinking with my body again!" Yukinoshita Haruno suddenly remembered some unpleasant experiences and warned her in a serious tone.

"Relax, I know my limits."

"Like hell you do! If you really did, I wouldn't have been scolded by my mom!"

After stepping out of the café, Hayashizaki looked around and turned into a small alley.

A blonde guy who had been wandering aimlessly on the street noticed a young woman walking into a deserted alley all by herself. A grin appeared on his face as he shoved his hands into his pockets and followed her in.

He hadn't seen the girl's face, but just from her graceful figure, he could tell—she was a real beauty.

However, when he eagerly stepped into the alley, she was nowhere to be seen.

It was a dead end, filled with trash bins and random junk.

A sudden chill crawled up his spine, and he shuddered. His instincts screamed at him to get out immediately.

He didn't notice the small, adorable white rabbit crouching at his feet.

The rabbit's blood-red eyes stared at him for a moment before it suddenly leaped up—

And rammed its head straight into his crotch.

"Ugh! AAAHHHHH!!!"

A sharp, agonized scream pierced through the alley.

Up in the sky, no one noticed a giant owl soaring past, vanishing in an instant.
