章 82: Chapter 82: The Malice of the World

Ai Cheng Karen finally managed to shoo away her gossip-loving mother.

Kagura Hikaru fell silent for a moment, "....Your mom takes really good care of herself."

He had honestly thought she was Ai Cheng Karen's older sister or something of the sort.

Ai Cheng Karen forced a couple of awkward laughs, "Yeah, I guess so."

"....Let's get the guitar out," said Kagura Hikaru. "Let's practice a bit before your friend comes over. Did you practice with the textbook last night?"

"Yes, I did! I just got to climbing grids."

"? Climbing what grids?"

"Ah? Don't I have to practice that?"

"It's a skill that's completely useless, better to start practicing chords."

And so, they started practicing chord shapes.

Chords, simply put, are combinations of multiple strings being pressed at the same time, a technique that is often used during play; it's an inescapable part of practice for beginners.
