Chapter 119: We Went To A Live Show

**We Went To A Live Show** is the one-hundred-and-nineteenth Chapter of *Boku no Kokoro no Yabai Yatsu*.

## Summary

Yamada excitedly declares that this is her first time at a live show, and Ichikawa says it is the same for him. She asks about his sister's association with the band, and he says that they're called "The Blue Cold" something or other, but that there will be several groups playing. She pries, wondering if there could be some kind of romantic association with her and one of the band-mates, which he quickly shoots down. Noticing that he won't be able to see, she invites him in front of her, and puts her arms around him and onto the pole separating the crowd and the stage. Suddenly the music starts, and the two of them are startled by the sudden screams of the crowd. He considers the type of people singing up on stage, and wonders if it's okay for his sister to be associating with such loose individuals. She begins rubbing up against him, making him uneasy, and he begins wondering what is with this form of "attack," wondering if she's trying to get into the rhythm. He realizes that it might be because of the sway of the crowd, and looks behind them, noticing another guy encroaching behind her. Incredulous at the thought of another guy pushing up against her, he ducks down and flips to her backside, but, on the way up, bumps into her butt, which he quickly apologizes for. He finds himself with a totally new problem, however, when he ends up being pressed up behind her in a compromising position, trying to keep his cool while also holding onto her forearms.

In time, The Blue Cold Men take the stage, and they are surprised to see that they are all older guys. When they begin playing, however, Kyoutarou finds them quite good, and he compares their Western musical style to something like The Red Hot Chili Peppers, which he recognizes the band's name as a play on words for. Suddenly, someone wraps their arm around his waist, and he wonders if it might be a groper, but when he turns, it's Kana, yelling out for "Tacchan," one of the band members on stage. She acts surprised that he came to the show, and he berates her, but realizes that he's still clutching to and pressed up against Yamada, and releases her with an apology. She asks why he's apologized, and he says that just because they're dating, he shouldn't be able to touch her without permission. Thinking on how she's also touched him, she reacts with shock and also apologizes, but he insists that she's done nothing wrong. While they talk, Kana begins walking off, and Kyoutarou realizes that the show is over. Kana berates him, saying the show was a waste for him since he wasn't listening, and she realizes that it's Yamada beside him as she waves to her. She blurts out that she didn't recognize her, and thought her brother was pressing up against a girl he didn't know, to which he angrily tells her to put a stop to it, then. Kana gushes over how cute Yamada looks, as The Blue Cold Men come off the stage and begin walking past them. A girl in pigtails who is with Kana brings up how random her friends are, saying there are gals and old men as well. Kana introduces Yamada to her, saying she's his little brother's friend. At the mention of "friend," Kyoutarou remembers that he still needs to tell Kana about him and Yamada, and resolves to make it happen today. Kana begins walking off with the band members, saying they should get some food, and he asks if they can come along as well. Kana says it's fine, but says that she's a serious drinker as they head to a nearby bar.
