Shimokitazawa.
This is Tokyo's "City of Music," where the number of live houses significantly surpasses those in other districts, and many famous music groups have emerged from here.
It has even served as the main stage for that phenomenal band anime, "Solitary Rock."
Kagura Hikaru and Ai Cheng Karen were very familiar with this area.
As band members and hired guitar players, they had performed here quite often.
Karen's bandmates also frequented this area to buy guitar strings and picks, and sometimes she would join them, so she was not unfamiliar with this place either.
On the way, they started chatting about what had happened during their spring outing.
"So, you really got lost with President Hina in the mountains for four hours?"
"Yes."
"Wow, that must have been tough."
"It was okay," Kagura asked, "How did you find out about this? Did someone tell you?"
