Chapter 1857 - Are You Ready?

On the next day, everyone had breakfast together, and as for their mood, somehow they felt complicated.

Suzune didn't really know music so she didn't think too much and the reason why she came to the concert was that she wanted to follow Haru. She didn't know about the concert, but she was glad to come since she could enjoy an enjoyable night~~

As for the rest, in truth, they didn't really care much about the Fuji Rock Festival, or rather, Haru didn't really know much about the music industry, even though he had a music publishing under his name, but he really couldn't care at all, since all they were thinking was about Iwasawa's performance.

"I wonder whether Iwasawa is alright..." Yuri said with a sigh. It could be said that her relationship with Iwasawa was very close since both of them had been living together for a long time.

"I want to say to believe in her, but somehow, I'm a bit worried too." Haru rubbed his chin and said, "Well, for now, let's believe in her since if something happens, I'm sure that we can help them in a time."

They nodded and decided to believe in Haru since they knew about his ability very well.

"Say, is there another band at the festival that you want to watch?" Haru asked since he was wondering whether they had a band that they wanted to watch besides Iwasawa's band.

"Oh, I want to watch this." Megumi took her smartphone and showed the band that she wanted to watch.

"What band?"

Everyone was curious what kind of band Megumi wanted to see, but somehow, when they saw it, they felt quite dumbfounded.

"Gate of hell?"

"Um." Megumi nodded and said, "Interesting name, right? It is a metal rock band with full girls members."

"..." Everyone.

"We should have time when we go there. We can watch it later." Haru nodded and didn't overthink.

"Oh, I want yakisoba!" Shiina suddenly said.

"That's not a band, right?" Yuri was speechless.

"It's okay. We can eat a lot of things there since that place is a festival," Haru said with a smile.

"Right, Haru, I want to ask you something," Yuri said, and suddenly her face became serious.

"What?"

"You don't own this Fuji Rock Festival, right?" Yuri asked.

"..."

Somehow Haru wasn't sure what to say for a moment.

---

At 9 in the morning, they went out to go to the Fuji Rock Festival, but before they went out, there was something that Haru needed to remind everyone. He stood in front of everyone and asked, "Did you get all you need?"

As if responding to his strict expression, everyone lined up next to each other.

"Yes!"

"Did you put a sunblock?" Haru asked.

"Y - Yes!" Yuri was speechless, so she answered unsurely, but she asked, "Why do we need to put a sunblock?"

"We're in summer. If you don't put on sunblock when you go back to the hotel later, you will become a gyaru girl. Do you want that?" Haru asked.

'Gyaru girl...'

"Yes, what's wrong, Suzune?" Haru looked at Suzune, wondering why this girl raised her hand.

"What's a gyaru girl?" Suzune asked. She was coming from the future where the people's morale toward both fashion and relationships was very conservative, so it was quite normal for her to not understand what gyaru was.

"...."

"I'll explain later, anyway. A sunblock is necessary, so you won't have a sunburn later, alright?" Haru said.

"Yes!"

"Did you get your drinks?" Haru asked.

"It's all set," Ritsu said and showed the mineral water in her hand. "I'm immune to heatstroke."

"...." Haru, Yuri, Megumi, and Suzune.

"Um, well, that's not going to help. You need a sports drink or something," Haru said.

"Then should I throw this?" Ritsu asked while showing the bottle of her mineral water.

"No, bring it." Haru shook his head and said, "You can use it to wash your hands with it or pour it over yourself when it's hot. Water will always come in handy."

"You sure know everything, Haru," Megumi said.

Haru shook his head and said, "I don't know everything. I only happen to know."

"....." Looking at Haru, somehow, they felt that this could become his trademark sentence.

"Lastly, you should wear either sandals or sneakers, and you don't need to wear a high heel on this kind of concert, Ritsu," Haru said speechlessly while looking at Ritsu's lower body.

"Te-he!" Ritsu smiled cutely then changed her high-heel to sneakers.

'What is this cute creature?' Haru thought.

"Is that all, Haru?" Yuri asked, and she didn't need to ask why they should wear either sandals or sneakers since the reason was too obvious, right?

Wearing a high-heel or other girly shoes in this kind of event, they were sure that their feet would be full of blisters when they went back later.

"Oh, right, lastly, an insect repellent, have you put them on?" Haru asked.

"Here!" Shiina showed the insect repellent on her hand.

They were on the mountain, after all.

Unlike in the town, there were many insects in the mountain, and if some of them latched into them...

"Put some on me!" Yuri quickly said.

Suzune, Ritsu, and Megumi also quickly asked the same thing.

Haru didn't feel surprised by their reaction since he knew how women could feel disgusted toward an insect, and at the same time, he couldn't help but to think of the Aburame clan in the world of Naruto, and thought that this clan might be unpopular among women unless they had a special hobby.

"Alright, since everyone is ready, let's go!"

"OOOH!!!"

---

It didn't take a long time before they arrived at the Fuji Rock Festival, and everyone somehow underestimated the popularity of this festival.

"There are many people here," Megumi said in surprise, but her expression was as calm as ever.

"It's like human garbage," Yuri said with a frown. The temperature was very hot, but with this many people, it had become hotter.

"Really? I think that this is quite normal," Suzune said since compared to Haru's concert, the number of people who participated in this festival was too small.

"...."

"Anyway, let's get in first so we won't be late for Iwasawa's concert," Haru said.

"Yes!"

With all of that, they started their first step onto the Fuji Rock Festival.

Looking at this many people, Haru could tell that Sora and Utaha wouldn't come here, but anyway, he was wondering about Iwasawa's condition, wondering whether she was alright since he wasn't sure why that something might happen to her later.

---

On the toilet behind the stage, Iwasawa stayed there, holding her hands together with a lot of sweat dripping from her forehead. She wasn't sure why she felt this way. She should feel happy when she could reach the dream that she sought after, but when it came to real things, she had always depended on him, and she wanted to change since she didn't want to trouble him, considering their relationship was only a friend, but somehow, she felt scared right now when she thought that he wasn't here...

*Knock!* *Knock!

"Masami, are you alright?"

Iwasawa heard the voice of her friend and said, "I'm alright. Let me stay here for a bit."

"If you need help, just tell me, alright?"

"Thanks.." Iwasawa had a smile on her face, but somehow it put a lot of pressure now.
