Lonely Rock for the Blind.

"Is the recording finished?"

"Recording...recording is finished!"

Goto Ichiri said nervously.

Nekoyashiki Haru sat down on the sofa.

"Play it for me."

"Okay...okay!"

Goto Ichiri clicked the play button, and the lyrics from the recording came out intermittently.

"It sounds like they're chanting scriptures."

"Ugh..."

Goto Ichiri lowered his head in shame.

"...Did Ichiri create the current version because she felt that the lyrics she initially wrote were too gloomy?"

"Ah...no...that's right..."

"The lyrics are indeed very positive... the kind that's formulaic."

"sorry!"

"Don't apologize."

Haru Nekoyashiki shook her head and returned the phone to Ichiri Goto.

What kind of song does Ichiri want to compose?

"Uh... are... everyone satisfied?"

"So, do you think this will satisfy everyone? No... will it satisfy you?"

"... "

Goto Ichiri looked down, holding his notebook.

"I...I really am not good at this! I'll talk to Hongxia about it this afternoon! I'll take my leave now!"

Goto Ichiri ran towards the door, and then felt her hand being grabbed.

"I'm not trying to criticize you, but stop running away. You've taken time off to write lyrics, so you should at least do something."

"what…"

“We’re friends, right? Yili, come sit back down.”

Nekoyashiki Haru spoke as softly as possible, as if afraid of scaring away small animals.

"Yes Yes."

Goto Ichiri came back and sat down next to Nekoyashiki Haru.

"To be honest, I'm not that good at lyrics."

Nekoyashiki Haru shook her head, then continued.

"However, in my personal opinion, lyrics should reflect the creator's inner world."

"But...but those lyrics I came up with..."

"It's okay to be gloomy, right? Those lyrics really highlight your personality, don't they?"

"... "

“The band’s personality is very important, I’m sure.”

Nekoyashiki Haru took out a ballpoint pen and a piece of drawing paper from under the coffee table.

"Let's rewrite it, Yili. I'll stay here with you."

"I…"

Goto Ichiri gently took the drawing paper and ballpoint pen.

"I...I'll try my best..."

Goto Ichiri nodded.

Chapter 55 Missed Opportunity

"So... these are the lyrics you wrote, Boqi..."

Ichi Nijika looked at the contents of the notebook in front of her, then looked up at Goto Ichiri and said.

"Yes...yes!"

Goto Ichiri nervously gripped the hem of her skirt, her pink hair covering her forehead.

"Um... how about it?"

The pink-haired girl asked nervously.

"Hmm~"

Nijika Ichi stroked her chin, feigning distress, and then gave her evaluation.

"I feel really unmotivated, a bit gloomy..."

"Goo!"

Goto Ichiri lowered his head, injured.

Kita Ikuyo took the notebook from Ijichi Nijika and looked at it.

"That's true to some extent..."

"Ugh... So... so it really doesn't work after all..."

Goto Ichiri's face slowly sank towards the ground.

"No, absolutely!"

Suddenly, Ichi Nijika said with a bright smile.

"Ugh?"

Goto Ichiri was taken aback.

"Although the lyrics are a bit melancholic, they feel very, very characteristic of Boqi!"

Ichi Nijika crossed her arms and nodded.

"Yeah! I also think these lyrics are very interesting!"

Kita Ikuyo said with a smile.

"Let me see…"

Yamada Ryo took the notebook.

"Hmm... I think it's very unique."

Yamada Ryo looked up and handed the notebook back to Goto Ichiri.

"I like these lyrics."

"…ah…"

Goto Ichiri slowly opened her blue eyes.

"Is...is it really okay? You're not just trying to comfort me, are you? Right...right?"

"Of course I'm not just trying to comfort you, we genuinely think it's great."

Kita Ikuyo nodded.

"Next, all that's left is the music."

"This Liang is in charge..."

Ichi Nijika looked at Yamada Ryo.

"No problem, I'm sure I can make a great melody with these lyrics."

"Is it possible to have it tomorrow?"

"I'm sorry, I can't."

Seeing the four of them start arguing again, Ijichi Hoshika glanced at Nekoyashiki Haru, who was drinking an energy drink with a smug expression.

"...What are you so smug about..."

"Yili's current lyrics were written with my encouragement and support, so it would be strange if she wasn't proud of it."

Nekoyashiki Haru shrugged.

"But the tsundere Hoshigoe-nee would never act like me, right? Even if something like this happened, she'd probably pretend it's no big deal, and then secretly laugh to herself when she got home at night..."

"Hey!"

Ijichi Hoshika gave a disgruntled "Hey."

"Just kidding."

Nekoyashiki Haru waved her hand, indicating that it was nothing to worry about.

despair…

Footsteps suddenly sounded in front of her, and Nekoyashiki Haru was slightly taken aback.

"Um... Mr. Nekoyashiki, thank you... thank you!"

Goto Ichiri bowed to Nekoyashiki Haru and said.

"... "

Nekoyashiki Haru paused for a moment, then smiled and shook her head.

"Really, no need to thank me, we're friends, aren't we?"

"Ah! Mr. Nekoyashiki is right!"
