Gravity Girl Shining

No, can you get used to it?

You are only in the first year of high school this year. When you were in junior high school, you went out for a walk late at night every day. Your parents were quite relaxed about it, but I felt unsafe.

Facing Uehara Hibiki's silent complaints, Takamatsu Deng only cautiously defended himself. "Then I'll also tell Hibiki when I go out at night."

"Yeah, safety first, Deng, you're a cute girl, you must pay attention to safety."

"I will pay attention."

The first stop tonight is the planetarium, where Uehara Hibiki will customize a band exchange session for Takamatsu Touma.

The sound of the lamp's singing is a cry from the heart. No matter whether Uehara Hibiki composes the music in accordance with the lyrics of the lamp, the inner resonance is fundamental when the lamp sings Uehara Hibiki's music.

So no dating.

No dating.

Really not.

In order to prevent someone from getting angry tomorrow, Uehara Hibiki specifically reminded him three times, I hope it will be effective.

Quickly, the lights go out and the artificial starry sky falls from the dome.

Uehara Hibiki and Takamatsu Touma held hands and lay side by side, sharing the beautiful starry sky.

Behind the two of them, there was a girl wearing a baseball cap and sunglasses, who was covered up tightly and was staring at them intently.

"The boy in the Haneda school uniform, the one with the black violin case, is definitely the same person. He was at the school gate this afternoon, the one who was going on a date with Shiina-san."

Only now, he's dating someone else.

He's just a scumbag who plays with girls' feelings. Although he's annoying, he should have nothing to do with her.

However, the people he was involved with, Tatsuki Shiina and Teru Takamatsu, were all members of CRYCHIC, and were all related to that person.

"Xiangzi."

Mobile phones are prohibited in the planetarium, so the girl did not look at the precious text message again. She just held the turned-off phone in her palm and stroked it gently over and over again.

That person left me a treasure.

The starry sky that I once loved has lost its color.

The familiar introduction turned into noise.

The girl only stared at the two people in the front row, like a spider targeting its prey.

Can you bring me more news about Xiangzi?

As for another heavyweight, Ave Mujica, who was wrapped in a fake drug and a gravity black hole, gave me a sense of terror.

Chapter 23: Night of the Wolf

"Deng, will you be there?"

In the food section of the supermarket, Shoko Toyokawa looked at Takamatsu Deng standing in a daze among the shelves, feeling a kind of fear that everything was exposed.

"Nothing else, just the band discussion for the second match tonight."

Uehara Hibiki interjected, correcting Toyokawa Shoko's blunder. "Damn Blue Hair, how disrespectful to address him by his name on such a sacred battlefield. We are fighters driven by hunger, without names or surnames, save for that joking nickname, a fleeting reminder of our existence."

"Don't insist on your worldview now!"

Toyokawa Shoko couldn't help but feel anxious, unable to lift or hide the shopping basket in her hand. After all, in Takamatsu Deng's opinion, Toyokawa Shoko should be the high and mighty lady, not someone who would condescend to buy cheap goods in a supermarket.

"Don't be anxious, Lanfa. You, like the little penguin, only came to the audience at my invitation." Uehara Hibiki calmly tried to smooth things over. After all, Takamatsu Deng was an honest child, and she wouldn't pry into the matter if she was told not to ask.

Uehara Hibiki took the shopping basket, weighed it, and then set it aside. "These gifts are enough to serve as a ticket. Blue Hair, I allow you to witness my song."

Aren't your symptoms getting worse?

Although Toyokawa Shoko also constructs her worldview in her little notebook every night, that's all for a stage in her imagination. Like Uehara Hibiki, performing it seriously in daily life, in public, is a bit...

A bit handsome.

hateful!

Shoko Toyokawa gritted her teeth, determined not to show any envy at this time, and to maintain her image in front of the lamp.

"Little Penguin, have you finished reading my lyrics?"

"I remember everything, but I don't quite understand it."

On the contrary, Uehara Hibiki actually showed the lyrics to Takamatsu Deng, even though Deng was the lyricist. Toyokawa Shoko immediately became interested, coughed lightly, and borrowed the notebook from Deng.

After opening the first page, the title is "Star Calling", and looking at the lyrics, it is Deng's usual style.

Turning to the second page, the handwriting and writing style suddenly changed, and it was clearly written by Uehara Hibiki.

As for the content.

"I feel, not as good as Kasuga Shadow."

Shoko Toyokawa gave a sharp comment.

Uehara Hibiki was noncommittal about this, stating that his lyric writing skills were indeed inferior to his composing skills, and as a veteran of the anime world, his "chuuni" flavor was a bit overwhelming. But he believed in his inner voice and the power of the system.

"You once cried out in the song, blue hair, do you feel my passion? This song is not only for my own enjoyment, but also for you."

Uehara Hibiki threw the phone to Toyokawa Shoko, which played the demo_V7 version of "LIVEforLIFE Wolf Night".

When the clock struck nine, Uehara Hibiki turned his back to the two girls and set off on his journey.

"Hold my phone for now, and enjoy my battle song!"

Toyokawa Shoko picked up her phone, and the rousing melody blasted out, forcing its way into her head. Combined with the distant war cries, the lyrics of the song once again leaped into her mind.

…………

(lyrics)

There are some things that cannot be compromised for anyone.

No matter how many times you are knocked down, you must stand up again.

In this world, the strong prey on the weak, rather than just sitting back and enjoying the fruits of their labor...

It is better to risk everything and fight bravely.

……

Ten minutes later, in the supermarket staff lounge, Takamatsu Deng, with tears in her eyes, put one Band-Aid after another on Uehara Hibiki.

Seeing that the boy's injuries were more serious than before, Shoko Toyokawa couldn't help but sigh.

"Are you going to show us a heroic gesture?"

"There's nothing I can do. Those guys were motivated. After all, today is different from the past. There are two beautiful girls cheering me on."

“There was no cheering.”

"Yes, you guys standing there watching, I have a reason not to lose." Uehara Hibiki held up the trophy. Even though the lunch box itself was stuffed into the microwave, the laurel wreath on the packaging was still there, and he showed off all the way.

The Laurel Crown, a special bento box meticulously prepared by the supermarket owner each month as the highest reward of the month, was the first time Uehara Hibiki had won one. "Those who are dominated by jealousy lose the protection of their hungry stomachs. It's only natural that they lose to me, hahahaha!"

"Xiang, what are you going to do?"

Unlike Toyokawa Shoko who was used to seeing this, Gao Songdeng was heartbroken when he saw this scene for the first time, and he wanted to ask for a solution pitifully.

"Because the mountain is there," Uehara Hibiki answered, borrowing a famous quote. But then he realized he didn't understand the metaphor, so he simply reworded it.

"To win. Like running in sports competitions, like every exam ranking, like the success of the class performance at the cultural festival. It doesn't matter what the specific form is. As long as there is competition, I'm interested, and I want to win."

Shimotakamatsu Deng understands, after all, she also has hobbies that are difficult for normal people to understand. Just as she enjoys not only specific things but also the process of "collecting", Uehara Hibiki also enjoys the result of "winning", and the "winning" is not important.

Only……

I would worry too.

Gao Songdeng somewhat understood other people's thoughts, but what about Xiang?

"Won't Mom and Dad be worried?"

Shoko Toyokawa, who was standing by, realized that something was wrong, but it was too late to stop it.

Uehara Hibiki smiled sheepishly. "I never told you before, but I'm an orphan. I don't have any parents or even distant relatives."

Despite the smile, Uehara Hibiki's words contained a shocking truth. Takamatsu Deng only held Uehara Hibiki's hand, which was trembling constantly, and thought about something, but he couldn't say it out loud.

Toyokawa Shoko couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. She had imagined Uehara Hibiki's situation, such as coming from a poor country family, going to Tokyo alone to study, or having a conflict with her parents and running away from home. But the truth was more cruel than she had imagined.

Having had similar experiences, she knew very well how difficult it was to get over the sadness when losing a loved one.

But Uehara Hibiki experienced more losses.

Toyokawa Shoko didn't dare to imagine Uehara Hibiki's feelings at that time, so she just turned away without saying a word.

"Don't make that expression."

Uehara Hibiki rubbed Takamatsu Deng's little head to calm her down, then turned to look at the silent Toyokawa Shoko. "Don't you understand how I perform every day? Those are all things, nothing matters. I won't be defeated by them."

Uehara Hibiki looked at the laurel wreath again, savoring the joy of his recent victory.

"I will fight, I will fight like hell. And, I will win!"

Grab half-price bento and win!

Becoming a celebrity in school is also a kind of victory!

He must win by cheating on the system, forming a band, and making a lot of money in the future!

His past life was ended by a truck, and Hibiki Uehara refused to accept his fate. Now that he's reborn, he's determined to give fate the finger and grab everything he wants. He wants to keep winning!

…………

(lyrics)

Gamble your self-esteem and you will be a wolf until death.

Never be beaten and become a stray dog.

Seasoned with sweat, scars shine.

Savor the victory and move on to the next stage.

…………

Not only that.

Uehara Hibiki put down the laurel wreath as if it were a piece of useless trash, picked up his notebook again, and turned to the page where he had written the lyrics. The young man who was just full of ambition and madness, now became extremely gentle, simply because he met people with true heart.

"Deng, Xiangzi, you all came to me after school and made friends. I not only want to win, I hope you can also continue to win. Don't give in to temporary setbacks, and fight to the end. This song is also a gift from me to you."

…………

(lyrics)

No one can survive alone.

Support each other and work together to improve and grow.

When it comes to debts of favor and blood, you must repay them with honor.

Adhere to principles and be consistent.

…………

Shoko Toyokawa felt as if her heart was hit hard.

She abandoned the comfortable life of the Toyokawa family and fell from the high and mighty position of a young lady to the mortal world. What she sought was the same as Uehara Hibiki, that unyielding self-respect.

But Uehara Hibiki is more dazzling because he not only doesn't want to lose, he wants to go one step further and win.

He wants to regain control of fate and take back everything he wants.

Unwilling to admit it.

But I can only admit it.

Toyokawa Shoko understood, and in that instant, she fell in love with him.

To Uehara Hibiki's left, Takamatsu's hands stopped shaking. She seemed to have figured things out, her eyes more resolute than ever. "I'll win, too, because we agreed. As long as Hibiki is by my side, no matter what happens, I won't give up. So, there's no one who's worried about Hibiki."

[Toyokawa Shoko's strategy progress +20, now 40/100, surpassing the first stage threshold, and obtaining an additional reward: Pure Love Heart x 10]

[Takamatsu Deng's strategy progress increased by +10, now 70/100.]
