A knock stopped us, so Hiro immediately stood up to go to the door, then opened it and a man who was familiar to my eyes appeared before us.

Wait!

He's the guy who should be entering the wrong room I entered earlier! What is he doing here?

"Xio?" Sein frowned when he saw that man. "Dude, what about us?" He approached her and they even shook hands.

Oh? They know Sein and based on what I can see of their conversation, it cannot be denied that he is close to my friends.

I turned to Aldean. "Who is that?"

"Aunt Klea's nephew." it answered me. "He also studies at Miracle University so we hang out sometimes. He also likes drums so he often hangs out in the band room."

"Really?" I said. "Is it good?"

Drek nodded. "He also had a band when he was in high school but it was disbanded because the universities they attended were different. But if we compare him to the drummer of Mnemosyne, our drummer is better and even cooler."

I smirked at what Drek said. When it comes to bowling, no one misses this one.

I looked back at Sein, Hiro and the man they called Xio. They are talking about something else.

He turned his gaze to me so I gave him a nod before returning my gaze to the wine I was drinking.

Well, I'm not a fool, especially with Sein's friends. Of course, so that Sein won't be stuck when my friends meet him.

"Hey! Someone requested the last song." We looked at the door again and except for the three, the owner of the bar was also there. "What? Can you still do it?"

"All right." Kenneth, Drek and Aldrean immediately stood up.

"I'll call our drummer again," Sein said and simply looked at me. "We thought our performance was over so he said goodbye early."

"All right." answered the owner. "Tell me when you're all ready, okay?"

I was about to get my jacket but I couldn't reach where I put it so I immediately stood up and started looking for it in another part of the room.

But I was also immediately stunned when I remembered that I put it down in the first room I went to earlier and I can't remember if I took it with me when I left there.

Shit!

I turned back to Sein and the man he was talking to and saw that he was returning the jacket and gloves I had left earlier.

Son of a! How stupid I am.

I immediately approached Kenneth. "Neth, there's a problem."

He frowned. "Why? What's the problem?" I whispered to him what happened. "That's shit," he whispered. "But okay, I'll take care of it. You won't be the one performing here because it will definitely be noticed if you're not seen outside and the drummer suddenly appears."

I nodded. "Alright, it's up to you," I said to her while ruffling her hair. "Thank you. I'll get back to you next time."

He smiled and also messed my hair. "You said that, huh." he said. "Alright, I'll talk to your replacement first and we'll go out. You can go out later. Maybe someone will notice."

And they finally went out while I was left here alone.

Why I was accused of stupidity tonight. Fortunately, Kenneth came up with a plan quickly.

I just finished the contents of the bottle of beer I was holding and after a few minutes I left the room. This is the first time I will be able to watch Mnemosyne perform without me being there.

I took my place at the bar counter overlooking the entire stage where Mnemosyne was now standing and arranging their instruments to be used.

I looked at the drum position and saw that Xio was sitting in front, so I got a little excited because they said he was good at playing drums too.

"Good evening, everyone," Hiro happily greeted everyone. "We are here again to play a very special song."

"You all know that we rarely release our original song and we always do cover songs but this time, it will be different," added Sein. "We dedicate this song to the person who keeps our band together. Even though we don't get to be with him often, he still maintains his membership in this band."

They turned their eyes in my direction and because it was so simple and momentary, the onlookers didn't notice what they did.

And when they did that I knew they were referring to me so I just raised an eyebrow at them.

Well, I didn't expect that Drek has yet another original composition song.

It's been two months since our band last played Drek's original composition, so I thought he hadn't done anything new yet.

By the way, it looks like they're just waiting for this opportunity where I won't be able to play with them and just be in the audience for them to release this one.

"Before I forget, we won't be able to join Mnemosyne's original drummer for this last song because he had to go home," Drek interjected.

Many people were disappointed by what they heard, so I felt happy. I never thought they would react like this without me.

But many are still waiting for their start because our band also got their interest in the new song they will be releasing.

"But he has a substitute and I assure you that he is also great at playing drums so give him a chance," said Sein as he signaled his companions on stage to begin.

And the first sound that appeared was the beat of the drums that made my eyes widen. I know this melody!

"I hope you are hearing this one," Hiro shouted after the others started playing their instruments.

"Oh damn."
