In music anime, band girls won't be alone.

Yoro Nai nodded, a hint of curiosity appearing in her eyes.

She sensed that this person, who gave her the feeling of a mother, was plotting something unknown, but she couldn't quite pinpoint the exact direction.

However, it seems the other party is prepared to speak up for me, so I'll leave it at that for now.

Seeing the cat nod, Nagasaki Motoyo then looked at Takamatsu Akari.

"Dengjiang, what's your opinion?"

Takamatsu Akari didn't seem to have much of an opinion, much like Shirakawa Sawa, so she spoke up.

“Ze-jun said Le Nai is a guitarist, and we happen to be short of one right now, so let’s play together.”

After receiving an affirmative answer, Nagasaki Sosuke turned to look at Shiina Tatsuki.

"Lixi, I think the same way as Dengjiang. Since we haven't finalized our personnel yet, it's not a bad idea to give it a try."

Seeing the 3 to 1 vote, Shiina Tatsuki had nothing more to say, silently nodded, and temporarily agreed...

Volume 1: Chapter 77 The Starry Night Calls, Activate!

After setting up the training room, the group went inside with their instruments.

Since neither Nagasaki Motoyo nor Shiina Tatsuki brought any instruments, they rented RiNG's instruments first.

After closing the door, Nagasaki Motoyo turned to look at everyone with a gentle smile on her face.

"Which piece should we practice?"

Shiina Tatsuki looked at Takamatsu Akari and asked,

"Would you like to sing one of our songs?"

The song we're referring to is "Spring Shadow".

This was their only original song during their time with CRYCHIC.

Before Takamatsu Akari could speak, Nagasaki Motoyo spoke first.

"Shall we practice our song?"

"But Xiao Lena has never played this before..."

Yoro shook her head.

"It's ok."

"Show me the sheet music."

Shiina Tatsuki frowned, somewhat doubting whether the other person could improvise.

However, in order to start practicing as soon as possible, she didn't say anything and directly took out her phone to start flipping through her photo album.

When Lena leaned closer to look at the phone screen, she happened to see a page of sheet music.

She raised her hand and pressed down on Shiina Tatsuki's finger, then swiped back, scanned the page of sheet music, then turned around, opened the case, and began connecting effects pedals to the guitar.

Shiina Tatsuki, unsure of her intentions, spoke with some annoyance.

"This isn't the piece we're going to play!"

The sheet music that Maomao was looking at was something she made when she was learning to compose music on her own. It was like an experiment. Although it took her a lot of time, there were still some things she hadn't figured out, so it wasn't a complete piece of music.

Without saying a word, Yao Lena connected the effects pedal and immediately began playing the sheet music.

As Shiina Tatsuki listened to the sound coming from the guitar in the other person's hand, his eyes gradually widened, and his heart was filled with disbelief.

real or fake?

Not only did she memorize all the chords on the score, but she was also able to improvise and fill in the blank parts.

What kind of monster is this?

After the cat finished playing, Shiina Tatsuki immediately spoke up.

"Stray cat, can you play it one more time?"

She was so engrossed in listening that she didn't write down the key parts she felt, so she wanted the other person to play it again so she could record it.

Yule looked at the girl sitting behind the drum set and nodded.

“Matcha parfait.”

Shiina Tatsuki didn't say anything, but got up and bought a matcha parfait.

After finishing the matcha parfait, Lena picked up her guitar and played it once.

But this time it felt a little different from the last time.

"It seems her improvisational arrangement was a one-off."

"But this time it felt great too."

Shiina Tatsuki felt her creative urge surge, and she couldn't wait to go back and incorporate her inspiration into the music while she was still feeling it.

She looked up at Takamatsu Akari and Nagasaki Motoyo, who were waiting to the side, her face showing a hint of apology.

"Deng, Su Shi, I want to go back and write down my inspiration now, I'm sorry."

After saying that, she quickly packed her things and left.

Seeing Shiina Tatsuki leave, Rakuna muttered to herself, "The band's activities are over," and then packed up and left as well.

After watching the two leave, Nagasaki Motoyo looked at Takamatsu Akari with some confusion.

"Deng-chan, has Lixi learned to compose music now?"

I'm a little unsure about Takamatsu lamps.

"Maybe."

“I’ve seen Li Xi buy books on composition before.”

A hint of joy appeared in Nagasaki Motoyo's eyes, and she spoke softly.

"That's it..."

"It seems that Lixi has been working hard quietly in places we haven't noticed..."

Takamatsu nodded.

"Yes."

"So what should we do now?"

Nagasaki Motoyo looked around the empty room and smiled with a hint of regret.

"I only have one bass left, and I really don't know how to practice anymore..."

"Let me take you home, Tou-chan."

Takamatsu Akari hummed in agreement, and then the two of them went out together.

Although they didn't even manage to learn a single piece during their first training session, the two of them weren't in a bad mood.

For them, being able to get together today and decide to play in a band together in the future is already something to be very happy about.

As for practice, there will be time later.

Walking down the street, Gao Songdeng looked up at the sky and felt that many words and phrases in his mind were slowly becoming clearer.

Many of them were sentences I had written down before.

She wanted to write new lyrics.

This idea came to me after that day when I looked at the stars with Shirakawa Sawa in the Astronomy Club.

However, I didn't feel that strongly at the time.

Furthermore, even if I write the lyrics, there's no one to collaborate with me on creating a song.

So the idea was shelved.

Now that she's back in a band, coupled with the surging emotions she already felt, she really wants to turn those words into lyrics.

However, she did not share this idea with Nagasaki Motoyo, who was standing next to her.

Because the emotions behind this song have nothing to do with her.

The two chatted for a few minutes from time to time, and finally parted ways on the overpass near Gao Songdeng's house.

Then Shirakawa Sawa received two messages.

One is a Takamatsu lamp.

"Zejun, I'm home now."

One is Nagasaki Motoyo's.

"Ze-kun, I have safely delivered Deng-chan home."

Upon seeing the latter's message, Shirakawa Ze sensed that something was off about her.

……

The next morning, Shirakawa saw Takamatsu Akira walk into the classroom with dark circles under her eyes and quickly asked what happened.

The other person didn't answer, their face mysterious, their eyes filled with expectant light.

"Ze-kun, shall we go to the Astronomy Department after lunch?"

I'll tell you later.

Shirakawa nodded, suppressing his curiosity for the time being.

After speaking to him, the girl turned her head with a smile, touched her schoolbag, and then lay down on the table to catch up on her sleep.

At that moment, Chihaya Aine appeared from the back door, carrying a guitar bag.

Although she could get to her seat faster by coming in through the back door, she still chose to enter the classroom through the front door.

After attracting a lot of attention, she slowly walked to Goto Ichiri's seat, turned her body slightly, and showed him her guitar case.

"Good morning, Ichiri-chan!"

As a proper straight man, Goto Ichiri immediately expressed curiosity about the guitar case behind her.
