People are in Mygo, and I can write their personalities.

Unfortunately, the person in question wasn't in Japan, so even though she really wanted to meet "Annnnn," she couldn't.

"Speaking of which, Lixi, aren't you planning to ask your old bandmates anymore?"

"...You can't go to them."

"Is that so? It seems there are many reasons that are inconvenient to talk about." Hachiman Kairin nodded, not wanting to comment further. "Speaking of which, Ritsuki, you might want to ask Hatsuka, who is in our class. I seem to vaguely remember that you two knew each other before."

"I saw you guys greeting each other when school started. Even though she's the lead vocalist for Sumimi now, maybe she can introduce you to someone suitable?"

"Chuhua, is that right... I'll ask her."

The band deal is definitely not going to be finalized for at least the next few days, but things have actually progressed with Hailing regarding the loan for an electronic keyboard.

Li hope never expected that just because she mentioned it casually, Hai Ling, who usually kept a low profile, would transfer a large sum of money to her so quickly. Li hope was speechless.

She thought that working part-time after school was already a sign of hard work, but she never expected that Hailing, who worked part-time for dozens of bands, was actually the richest person in her class.

As for Nanami Natsuki, whom she mistook for a rich young lady when they first met?

Haha... She's just a nobody on the street, poor, cheap, and heartless... Who does she think she is? How dare she talk to me like that in the coffee shop that day.

Just wait, Nanami Natsuki. I, Shiina Tatsuki, will eventually break free from your last remaining constraints. Once I have fully utilized all the value of Shoko's talent, I will never again belittle myself in front of you.

For the rest of the day, Lixi happened to be off duty, so she went straight to the music store she always frequented after her last class in the afternoon.

She had prepared for choosing an electronic keyboard long ago. Although she felt a little pain when it came time to pay, she didn't feel so burdened when she thought about her future plans.

The electronic keyboard will take some time to arrive. The delivery staff scheduled the delivery time for tomorrow evening, but Lixi can still use this free time to go to the bookstore and buy some piano and electronic keyboard tutorial books in advance.

Although self-study by reading books and watching free videos online is not as good as one-on-one instruction from a teacher, Lixi is still quite confident in herself. She had even passively memorized all the piano-related knowledge in her mind in the past two weeks.

"It's time to start composing music again..."

After wandering around and finally returning to her own home, Lixi said "I'm back" as usual as she entered the door, then grabbed an apple from the kitchen and headed straight for her bedroom.

Very good... The situation where she would think of Nanami Natsuki's body whenever she entered a state of music creation has not happened to her again.

She never intends to recall this bizarre and peculiar phenomenon again in her entire life. In fact, even mentioning it to others would make her want to bang her head against the wall.

Shiina Tatsuki closed her eyes, a method she often used when brainstorming for musical inspiration. Whenever she did this, materials of different genres and styles would appear in her mind one by one, and all she had to do was to extract what she wanted from these fragments of inspiration and record it on paper or on her computer.

But today's situation seems a little different.

Cold sweat slowly seeped from Lixi's forehead, and she began to feel a little anxious.

During the time she closed her eyes, everything seemed drastically different from before. She felt that a lot of things were popping into her head, but they were all messy and useless. As a result, she sat there for five minutes without opening her eyes, pulling over the keyboard, and starting to work.

What exactly is wrong?

Is there something wrong with Xiangzi's goods? Impossible... Xiangzi's goods are the best, she has already experienced that, there's no way there could be a problem.

Could it be that Nanami Natsuki was behind this?

That's impossible... Although that girl has always been quite unserious, she has always been quite strict about transactions.

Moreover, Nanami Natsuki has indeed repaired her distorted cognitive logic, and now she no longer experiences the situation where lewd ideas pop into her head whenever she is creating music.

This proves that Nanami Natsuki really had no reason to trick her. After all, if she wanted to trick her, there would be no need for her to help her at the end.

"Could it be because... I've been pushing myself too hard lately?"

It seems to be the only possibility that can be thought of.

This kind of thing has happened before. In the two days before the creation of "KiLLKiSS", Li hope was indeed in an awkward state of being unable to think of any useful ideas.

Moreover, it is indeed very reasonable for this to happen. Xiangzi is also a human being, not a god of music... Even the late King of Pop, Michael Jackson, could not create excellent music every day at such a high intensity, right?

"So, in the end, it's still my fault."

Lixi felt a little regretful and was also spurring herself on for her eagerness for quick success. She thought of her conversation with her sister a few days ago. Even her sister, whom she looked up to, said that her creative process was not always smooth sailing. So why should she be able to achieve her wishes just because she has Xiangzi's talent?

With a sigh, Li hope stopped forcing herself into a high-intensity brainstorming session and instead turned on her computer to browse the simple music videos she had uploaded.

"Someone else is saying my music video is grotesque, how disgusting... You guys have no idea what art is! I'm blocking you all!"

Seeing several netizens criticizing the MV's content as "mentally polluting" under her latest video infuriated Li hope, who was already in a bad mood.

Fortunately, there were still some who understood. For example, that loyal British fan was very cute. She not only highly praised her aesthetic sense, but also made many more outlandish suggestions.

"Wait... why am I starting to think this music video is weird too? It's just an art style, yes... it's just that they don't understand."

Unfortunately, it's a little past 6 PM here for Lixi, but according to the time difference, it should be a little past 10 AM for Annnnn, so she probably hasn't finished class yet.

Therefore, it was definitely not convenient to communicate with fans across the ocean and on the other side of the world online. Li Xi had no choice but to shut down YouTube in frustration and then open the unfinished draft he had created earlier to start working on improving it.

"As expected... Xiangzi's talent is truly remarkable. Filling in the inspiration he had previously noted down into a complete piece of music is effortless for him. Even a piece like this, filled with Showa-era style, can be completed..."

Li hope had already anticipated the controversy that would arise if she released a simple music video for "Watery Rain," since she had faced criticism before.

Different musical styles, and all of high quality... In this situation, naturally there will be clowns who will claim that she is not an original musician at all, but rather someone who plagiarized other people's old songs or made some stitches together.

However, no one can provide any substantial evidence. After all, as long as Li hope is shameless enough, no one can prove that the songs she wrote were not done by herself.

"However, I still want to write some new songs."

After going out for dinner and hastily finishing her homework, Li hope spent several hours completing her unfinished work and couldn't help but have the idea of ​​creating something new.

Although this cheat will last for a month... but a month isn't that long, is it?

After gaining the "power" that gradually led her astray, Lixi realized that she was becoming increasingly unworthy to face the lamp.

When Hailing talked to herself today about "why not go back to her former teammates," why did she immediately reject this path?

Actually, she could have asked Deng, since she really liked Deng's lyrics... However, Li hope realized that she might not be worthy of looking at Deng's lyrics anymore.

The confusion and cries in the lyrics of "Lantern" do resonate with her current state of mind to some extent, but are the things they are crying out for and pursuing still the same?

One yearns for beauty, the other for depravity... Lixi knows that every day she experiences now is a day of sin.

She had to realize this, and while ignoring the facts, she couldn't completely discard them either, so... she had to do something, and only after satisfying her terrible desire could she be free from desire itself.

That way, she might be able to truly escape Nanami's control and reappear before Akari, saying to Akari, "Akari, let me compose music for your lyrics."

With these thoughts in mind, Lixi closed the unfinished music score projects that were already open and created a new blank music project.

She closed her eyes again, but this time she chose a different path.

If she had previously rediscovered her inspiration through... that method, then even if Lixi was unwilling, she had no choice but to try again at this moment.

Natsuki's beauty, her soft little hands, the fragrance on her body, and the feeling of holding her... sinful images flashed through Riki's mind. While suppressing the intense shame and disgust in her heart, she tried to find the feeling of inspiration constantly emerging from Natsuki that day, and then being captured by her.

Everything was for the sake of music creation. She was not the kind of superficial person who only looked at appearances and not inner qualities. Besides... the images that appeared in her mind were not some intoxicating sex, but rather brutal bullying and humiliation.

"hiss......"

That's right, isn't that the feeling?

Shiina Riki's face was almost as red as a piece of iron melting under high temperature. She tried hard to grasp the feeling of wanting to devour Nanami Natsuki alive, but she always accidentally turned this feeling into another kind of burning desire.

"No, I have to restrain myself... restrain myself... restrain myself even more..."

In her excitement, Li hope reached for the glass of cold water on the table and tilted it over her head, causing the water to fall directly onto her hair. This seemed to correct Li hope's increasingly strange thought process a little.

"Got it..."

Upon opening her eyes, Lixi quickly typed the lyrics into her memo app. She had no idea what she was writing; she only knew that she was creating something great.

"Then there's the music... um... lyrical style... yes, yes."

A vague outline of the melody appeared in her mind, but Lixi still managed to grasp its tail. She was afraid that these inspirations would disappear in a few minutes, so she did not choose to write the score by hand or slowly type out the melody on the computer.

Instead, he turned on the phone's recording function and started singing the lyrics he had just written.

"Depicting a distorted sky, I can't help but let my imagination run wild?"

"May you, without wings, fall and come to my side?"

"Did I accidentally touch something evil and filthy?"

"I only ask that you become a corpse tonight?"

"See? You have nowhere to run now!"

"To lock you up tightly while you're on the verge of death?"

"you know i want...i want..."

"If only you had been dismembered, why... wait? Wait?!"

Lixi suddenly froze when she got to this part of the song, because she then realized just how brutal and terrifying the lyrics she had written really were.

"What is all this...? Trying to kill Natsuki no Uta? No, no... if I release this kind of song, I'll be wanted by the police..."

Although Li hope knew it wasn't strange that she would write such a "criminal declaration" in that state of madness, reason told her that a song couldn't be too dark or too morally reprehensible.

There's no other way but to change it.

She changed "evil and filthy things" to "sacred and noble things," and replaced the corpses and dismemberments with more loving words... Although Riki gritted her teeth while making the changes, she always felt that Nanami Natsuki was not worthy of such a sycophantic "confession."

Oh well... it's all for art... anyway, that guy will never know that this song was actually written for her, no, it wasn't written for her in the first place!

After revising all the lyrics and quickly humming the melody he had almost forgotten, Li hope stood up and collapsed onto the bed.

"As expected... Only Xiangzi's talent could allow me to write songs like this, right? Without this talent... could I accept the useless version of myself from before?"

Lixi suddenly felt a pang of sadness. Although she had indeed written a new song, she couldn't feel happy at all...

It was all a lie, and this song didn't belong to her. She said she would wait until she had used up Xiangzi's talent enough before returning to the past, getting rid of Nanami, and going back to Akari...

Can she really do it?

Even that song was written under those infuriatingly bizarre circumstances. Someone like her... is no longer qualified to be a companion to the lamp, is she?

Chapter 84 Nagasaki Motoyo's First Victory (4600 words)

"Xiao Mu, I'm really sorry about what happened last time..."

"It's alright, Su Shi."

Metis followed Su Shi, feeling incredibly nervous. Although she was very confident in her acting skills, she always felt that something was missing.

However, speaking of Nagasaki Motoyo, who was standing next to her, Metis felt that if Motoyo hadn't always spoken so highly of Shoko in front of her, she would have really enjoyed being by the side of the gentle and kind Motoyo.

Sigh, why was such a good person like Su Shi deceived by a bad woman like Toyokawa Shoko?

How wonderful it would be to join her in Lord Natsuki's great cause! How stubbornly unrealistic!

"Xiao Mu, aren't you supposed to water the cucumbers?"
