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

"Although these observation instruments look different, they are basically all astronomical telescopes."

She walked over to a telescope, pointing to the corresponding parts as she explained.

"This is the eyepiece, its main function is to magnify the image. The specific magnification is related to the focal length, and we mainly use it for observation."

"This is the equatorial fine-tuning lever, and this is the latitude adjustment lever..."

"Look over here, this one is more professional, it even has an automatic satellite search function..."

Gao Songdeng spoke eloquently about what she knew about astronomical telescopes.

She spoke very quickly, even with a hint of urgency.

For some reason, she really wanted to tell everyone she knew.

Perhaps they wanted to prove something, or perhaps they wanted to grasp something.

She doesn't know either.

She just felt a restless emotion driving her to do this.

As she spoke, she looked at Shirakawa Ze, and saw that he was also looking at her with a focused and peaceful gaze.

Gradually, Gao Songdeng felt the restless emotions in his heart being soothed by that gaze, and his speech slowed down until he stopped completely.

"Thank you, Ze...kun."

Gao Songdeng lowered her eyelids, looking at her feet, her pretty face slightly flushed.

Shirakawa Sawa didn't hear clearly and looked at the other person with a hint of curiosity.

"Excuse me, Gao Song, I didn't quite hear you."

Takamatsu Akari continued staring at her feet, her face turning even redder. She twisted her hands behind her back, and after a moment, she slowly spoke, her voice a few decibels louder.

"Thank you, Ze-jun."

This time, Shirakawa heard clearly, but the other person looked too cute, so he tried his best to suppress the upturn of his lips and maintained his previous expression.

"Excuse me, Takamatsu, could you speak a little louder?"

Takamatsu Akari could tell that the other person was deliberately teasing her, but her mindset had changed, and she was willing to respond. So she shouted into Shirakawa Sawa's ear.

"Thank you, Ze-kun!"

After shouting, Takamatsu felt inexplicably relieved and laughed as she looked at Shirakawa Sawa, who was covering his ears and pretending to be injured.

The moonlight was bright, and the stars were dazzling.

But none of them can compare to the light emanating from the Takasō lamp at this moment.

Shirakawa looked at the girl before him, her bright smile reflected in his pupils, and was momentarily lost in thought before slowly speaking.

"Lamp-chan, you're so cute it's almost unfair."

This was the first time Gao Songdeng had ever heard someone praise her so directly. She felt incredibly shy, and even her earlobes turned red, but she didn't say anything.

Shirakawa cleared his throat, breaking the atmosphere.

If the two remain silent any longer, the other person will definitely leave because they are too shy.

He walked to a telescope and looked at Gao Songdeng.

"Deng-chan, can you teach me how to use this telescope?"

Takamatsu immediately nodded, then moved the telescope to the window, and then moved a chair behind the telescope.

"Zejun, please sit down in the chair first."

Shirakawa Sawa sat down on the stool as instructed.

Takamatsu looked Shirakawa Sawa over and then began adjusting the tripod and the angle of the telescope tube.

The two were so close that they could clearly see the fine hairs on each other's faces, and sometimes they could even feel each other's breath.

As a male who is both physically and mentally normal, Shirakawa Sawa frankly admitted that he was affected.

Whether it was because of the composition of the scene, the hormones emitted by the opposite sex at close range, or the simple evil thoughts in his heart, he admitted that he was affected. His heart, which originally beat 70 times per minute, now beat 110.

After adjusting it, Takamatsu Akari pointed to the eyepiece, turned to look at Shirakawa Sawa, and her eyes held a hint of anticipation.

"Zejun, it should be fine now. Check the effect here."

Shirakawa nodded, then lowered his head slightly.

Through the eyepiece, he saw a more expansive and profound night sky, and even smaller stars.

"It seems like it's gotten a bit darker."

Shirakawa Sawa stated the truth.

Takamatsu nodded, helping to hold the tripod while tapping the focus adjustment button with his finger.

"Ze-jun, you can try turning this; the view should be different."

"And the latitude adjustment lever here..."

As Takamatsu Akari whispered softly, a system notification sounded in Shirakawa Sawa's mind.

"Congratulations, host, on completing the mission! You have earned 5 points and 5 yen!"

After seeing Shirakawa Sawa gradually become familiar with the telescope, Takamatsu Akari brought over another telescope, sat next to him, and looked at it with him.

Around 9:30, a security guard arrived at the entrance of the astronomy department and knocked on the door.

"Hello student, this building will be locked in half an hour, please make the time."

Shirakawa Sawa looked away from his glasses and turned to look at the security guard.

"Okay, thank you for letting me know. You've worked hard."

The security guard never made things difficult for polite students; he smiled, replied, and left.

As he left, he muttered something under his breath.

"It's really rare that the Astronomy Department has two new members this year."

After locking the door to the Astronomy Club's activity room, Shirakawa Sawa and Takamatsu Akari left.

Walking home, Gao Songdeng looked up at the starry sky, feeling somewhat sentimental.

“Ze-jun, sometimes I feel like these stars are just like me.”

"Look at them, scattered in the vast universe, amidst the glittering Milky Way, all alone and helpless. Whether they are extinguished or lit, they are insignificant to this universe with its myriad stars."

"Just like any other ordinary person like me, born and dying without attracting any attention..."

At this point, Gao Songdeng stopped, took out a notebook with a rhinoceros beetle cover from his bag, and wrote a few words in it.

"The stars twinkle in the night sky, lost and adrift, scattered in hesitation..."

"Ah, that wandering star, that is me..."

Book 1: Chapter 10 Pochi decides to carry his guitar

After returning home, Shirakawa took out his phone and opened a video website.

"Guitar Hero uploaded a new video 1 hour ago."

A push notification popped up.

Shirakawa Sawa clicked on the video, which showed a person whose body was only shown from the neck down, playing a guitar.

The piece is quite difficult, and the performance was excellent, receiving unanimous praise in the comments section.

After thinking for a moment, Shirakawa edited a comment.

"Wow, this blogger is amazing! I wish our school had someone who plays guitar this well!"

Click "Send".

"click"

A notification tone sounded in a small, dark room in the city, and at the same time, the screen of a mobile phone placed next to the futon lit up.

A small, fair hand emerged from under the covers and picked up the phone.

When his azure pupils saw this latest comment, a spark ignited deep within his eyes.

"I definitely want to form a band when I get to high school!"

Goto Ichiri recalled the goal she had set for herself when she graduated from junior high school.

"It turns out that even a reclusive person like me can shine on stage after joining a band..."

Her thoughts drifted further away, recalling a statement made by a guitarist in a band during an interview.

She sat up in bed and looked at the guitar standing in the corner. Scenes flashed before her eyes.

The next morning, birds sang on the branches and petals fell in the wind. She, Goto Ichiri, walked into the school with her guitar on her back, immediately attracting the attention of many students.

"Wow, is that Goto-kun? He looks so cool carrying that guitar!"

"It really is Goto-kun! He seems like a completely different person after he puts on his guitar!"

"Goto-kun, could you please demonstrate for a moment?"

Faced with the anticipation and requests of many classmates, she opened her guitar bag, slowly took out the guitar, slung it over her shoulder, adjusted her posture, and plucked the strings, giving a breathtaking performance.

The whole place was in an uproar!

The entire school was shaken!

The spot where she stood was completely surrounded!

"Goto Ichiri! Goto Ichiri! Goto Ichiri!"

"Guitar hero! Guitar hero! Guitar hero!"

The entire school was chanting her name, a roar like a tsunami.

"Hehe...hehehe..."
