Gravity Girl Shining

Although Miao Meng answered very smoothly, she was still a little moved in her heart, just a little bit.

After all, a boyfriend like Uehara Hibiki is really good, except for his only flaw of being fickle.

"Then let's start with the first step."

Uehara Hibiki waved his hand to block the subsequent retreat route.

"How about just calling me by my name? Meow Dream?"

The mall's lights were soft and warm, the sound of rain was muted outside. At the intersection of fashion and strategy, the band's future was filled with endless possibilities. And for Miao Meng, a new layer of longing was engraved here. Although somewhat reluctant, in order to maintain her relationship with Uehara Hibiki, Miao Meng had no choice but to refuse such a small matter.

So……

"Alright, Hibiki-kun."

"You don't need to add Jun."

"You're so long-winded!"

In the end, under the smiling gaze of Uehara Hibiki, Meow Mengqin was defeated.

"Okay, Xiang, let's get back to the point. Regarding the ARG part, I'll give you a copy once I finish the project plan so MyGo can help with the promotion."

"Decryption is only part of the story. Have you found the costumes?"

"Well, after all, it's Xiangzi. At least when she put forward her requirements, she was able to come up with a set of standards to determine the general direction. Black and red tones, Gothic style, the rest is up to me for now."

After shopping for so long, Miao Meng also had new inspiration for Ave Mujica's performance costumes.

In response, Uehara Hibiki nodded, with a hint of anticipation in his tone.

"Then I'll believe you, Meow Meng. Let me see your design later."

"Then look forward to it, Hibiki."

Chapter 149: The Covenant of Hanasaki River.

The continuous rainy season brought a dampness to the air, with water droplets clinging to the classroom windows, distorting the scenery outside in the refraction of light, rendering it devoid of its usual beauty. For students prone to distraction, this undoubtedly deprived them of another way to escape studying.

But today, Triangle Chuhua didn't need to gaze out the window to distract herself. She gripped her pen tightly, her eyes fixed intently on the notebook before her, her pencil scratching indented lines across the surface. Unfortunately, the words she'd written down bore no relation to the material her teacher was intently teaching. Tucked inside the notebook, camouflaged with mathematical formulas, lay another sheet of paper, scribbled and crisscrossed with corrections. These were the lyrics to the band's first song, "Ave Mujica."

Looking at the lyrics, the words that Uehara Hibiki and Takamatsu Touma said to her kept echoing in Sankaku Hatsuka's mind.

Release the inner cry (obsession) through the identity of Doloris.

With this inspiration, Sanjiao Chuhua quickly completed the entire lyrics on the night she returned home on Monday, but after completing it, she did not have the courage to publish it.

After all, that was her inner expression. If Xiangzi denied it...

Sanjiao Chuhua was afraid of this, so he had not been able to make a final decision. He had to keep revising the completed lyrics before the specified date.

At home, in the office, in the classroom.

Fortunately, Sanjiao Chuhua's seat was in the last row of the classroom, in the corner near the back door. This position gave Chuhua a sense of privacy and security. She didn't have to worry about being spied on, and could simply immerse herself in her own world. Meanwhile, Hachiman Kailing was sitting in the seat in front of her, occasionally glancing back, a subtle smile playing at the corner of her mouth, shielding her and ensuring the teacher wouldn't notice her distraction.

Fortunately, due to different national conditions, although Hanasakigawa had various school mysteries, there was no such horror story as "the dean appeared at the back door." Therefore, Sankaku Hatsuka had some free time to continuously revise the lyrics.

The bell rang, and the classroom suddenly became lively. Students took out their lunch boxes and found their own social circles in twos and threes. Sankaku Hatsuka closed her notebook, took out her lunch box, and left the classroom. Before leaving, she looked at Yawata Kailing.

“It’s the same old place.”

Hachiman Kailing nodded slightly, then stood up. The two of them quietly walked out of the classroom, avoiding the crowd, and came to the corner of the stairs near the rooftop. This place led to the rooftop, and it was usually deserted, so quiet that it seemed isolated from the bustling campus. For Sankaku Hatsuka and Hachiman Kailing, this was the perfect place to discuss band matters.

Laying down the handkerchief, the two sat on the stairs. Yawata Kairin took the notebook from Sankaku Hatsuka and began to read it carefully. Sankaku Hatsuka watched her expression nervously, feeling uneasy. This was the only way she could test her results before handing it to Xiangzi.

After a while, Hachiman Kailing raised her head with a hint of praise in her tone.

"It's good. It's sexy and dark enough. That's how powerful metal band lyrics should be."

"Hachiman-kun, are you serious? I think you're being a little too extreme."

Sankaku Hatsuka knew what she had written. Inspired by Uehara Hibiki, she almost vented her inner madness, and the result was a set of lyrics that were completely different from those of idol songs.

What "make you poisonous", "dedicate your heart to darkness", "become a captive of joy in the charm of darkness", "fall into depravity forever".

Honestly, after completing the lyrics, Sanjiao Chuhua's first reaction was to tear them up. He couldn't let Xiangzi see them. All of the above are just modified versions; the original version is much more explosive and harder to watch.

"Sankaku-san has been working as an idol, so he doesn't know. But the lyrics of metal bands are just like that."

As a legendary mercenary, Hachiman Hailing's part-time bands naturally included several metal players. Therefore, she could responsibly tell Sanjiao Chuhua.

"If I hadn't looked up the relevant information, you, Sankaku-kun, are a true genius with metal."

The stereotype of a rock band is that they smoke, drink, and play with women. As for metal bands, they have a more rebellious stereotype than regular rock.

But if you look carefully for information and see what happened to famous bands around the world... it doesn't seem to be a stereotype.

After all, you can seriously look up the death rate of metal bands on the Internet and then go and read about the various outrageous ways that the band's big names died.

Of course, metal still can't compare to rap, whose death rate is even more outrageous.

"So, this version of the lyrics?"

"I think that's great. I can send it directly to Toyokawa-san."

"No, no, no, let me change it again."

Sankaku Hatsuka put away her notebook for the moment. But Hachiman Kailing's words still made her feel a little happy. If Xiangzi also approved of this version of the lyrics...

Looking at Sankaku Hatsuka's reaction, Yawata Kailing silently took out her lunch box, and then out of kindness, gave a reminder.

"But Triangle, you can change the lyrics, but you're not paying attention in class now. The teacher will find out sooner or later."

In response to this, Sanjiao Chuhua curled his lips and spoke in a firm tone.

"Band matters are more important. I have to write the lyrics well. Xiangzi has high expectations of us."

Hachiman Kailing sighed. That was all she had to say. She would not interfere with Sankaku Hatsuka's choice.

Just then, with deliberately heavier footsteps, a familiar figure appeared at the bottom of the stairs. Shiina Riki also carried a lunch box and walked straight over.

"Why are you two always sneaking around lately?"

There was a hint of teasing in her voice, but more of it was concern. Lately, Shiina Ritsuki had been seeing Sankaku Hatsuka and Yawata Kairin whispering to each other during class. They were originally just friends, but lately, their relationship seemed to have become closer. Although it had nothing to do with her, as a friend, Shiina Ritsuki's curiosity got the better of her.

Hachiman Kailing glanced at her, a playful smile on her lips, as if she was deliberately trying to tease Li Xi.

"What, are you jealous?"

Shiina Riki's cheeks suddenly turned red, as if he had been treated unfairly.

"No! Forget it."

"Okay, Shiina-san, don't leave yet. There's still room here."

Upon seeing this, Sanjijiao Chuhua quickly tried to smooth things over and said with a smile.

"We just have some things to discuss recently."

Hachiman Kailing looked at Sankaku Chuhua with a questioning look in her eyes, and Sankaku Chuhua nodded slightly, as if she had made up her mind.

"Actually, Shiina-san, like Hachiman-san, I've also joined Shoko's band, AveMujica, and I'm currently playing lead guitar."

Sankaku Hatsuka's tone was calm, a hint of pride but also a touch of nervousness. She had originally planned to follow Xiangzi's instructions and hide this fact from everyone else, but since Shiina Riki had come to her, she simply created a fait accompli and completely tied herself to this new band.

Hearing Chuhua's words, Shiina Riki's eyes suddenly widened and his tone was full of surprise.

"What? You joined Xiangzi's band? But you still have idol work to do!"

Everyone in the class knew how busy Sankaku Hatsuka was as an idol. She'd leave school early almost every day, and taking consecutive days off was commonplace. But for someone so busy like Sankaku Hatsuka to actually join a band? Such a choice seemed unbelievable to Shiina Riki.

"Since Xiangzi and I are childhood friends, I volunteered to help her. Besides, music is something I enjoy."

There was a hint of determination in Sankaku Hatsuka's voice, as if he was proving his choice to Shiina Riki.

Upon hearing this, Shiina Riki frowned, a hint of conflict flashing in her eyes. She had her own pursuit of music. In her opinion, a band should exist for the sake of music itself, not simply for a particular person. Although Shiina Riki was Deng's sole supporter, it was also based on Deng's exceptional singing talent.

To be honest, Mikado Hatsuka's attitude made Shiina Ritsuki a little unhappy, which reminded her of the former Crychic and the former Nagasaki Suyo. However, Mikado Hatsuka was her friend after all, and Shiina Ritsuki didn't know much to say about her choice.

But in this way, with the popular idol Sankaku Hatsuka as the lead singer, and the equally professional-level Yawata Kaisu and Wakaba Mutsu, as well as Toyokawa Shoko, whose talent is comparable to Uehara Hibiki... except for the drummer whose identity is currently unknown, Shoko's new band can indeed be called a galactic battleship.

"So... who's your drummer?"

Since Mikado Hatsuka chose to be honest, Shiina Riki no longer had to pretend to be broad-minded. Although she had previously denied her own value due to a sense of inferiority, after Uehara Hibiki's constant encouragement, Shiina Riki also developed a certain competitive spirit.

Compared to her, who is stronger, the drummer chosen by Toyokawa Shoko this time?

In response, Sanjiao Chuhua showed a mysterious smile.

"I'm sorry, Shiina-san. Xiangzi reminded us to keep our identities confidential. Therefore, it's not convenient for us to reveal her identity here. We have to wait for her to tell you on her own initiative."

"That's it."

Shiina Riki gave up immediately. After all, she hated interpersonal relationships the most, and she only became familiar with Chuhua Hailing with great difficulty.

"So, you guys have been talking about the band these past few days?"

"That's true, Shiina-san."

Sanjiao Chuhua showed the notebook in his hand.

"We've been discussing the lyrics these past few days."

"Is this note for the lamp?"

Shiina Riki was a little surprised at the familiar design, and Sankaku Hatsuka nodded.

"It's indeed Gao Song's. She gave me one after we last met. She said she has been using this kind of notebook to record inspirations in her life."

After Toyokawa Shoko's black tea meme, Takamatsu Deng's notebook meme also began to flood.

Probably after he reconciled with Toyokawa Shoko by giving away his notebook, Takamatsu Touma became interested in giving his notebook away. Shiina Tatsuki has one at home.

"Shiina-san, do you want to see it?"

"That's not necessary. It's your song after all."

Shiina Riki decisively refused. She wasn't the type to be controlled by curiosity. And...

"When you guys go live, be sure to let me know. I'll go watch it and then I'll know the lyrics."

"Uh...of course."

Sanjiao Chuhua couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. After all, he wrote the lyrics himself...

"How's your band practicing now?"

"There's only one song right now, and the lyrics are in Sankaku-san's notebook. Besides that, Toyokawa-san should have 4-5 unfinished demos. We can only practice the first one right now, and Toyokawa-san and Sankaku-san will finish the rest as soon as possible. We'll continue practicing until we're proficient..."

Following Hachiman Kairin's natural introduction, Shiina Riki discovered a serious problem.

"So you'll be preparing for joint training every day from now on?"

“Not every day anymore.”

Sanjiao Chuhua raised his hand embarrassedly.

"I have idol activities, so we can only practice together two or three times a week. But everyone's skills are very good, so it's not a big problem."

“It’s not a question of proficiency.”

Recalling what Uehara Hibiki had said, Shiina Riki began her imitation seriously.

"I mean, aren't you guys studying for finals?"

Yawata Kailing and Sankaku Hatsuka were frozen as if the pause button was pressed at the same time.

"Hey!"

Shiina Riki's pupils gradually dilated.

"You guys shouldn't?"

As the rain pounded outside on the rooftop, Sanjiao Chuhua lowered his head and turned his phone. The screen lit up, revealing a list of dates neatly arranged in a memo: band practice, recording studio appointments, stage play rehearsals, idol activities... It was packed, but the problem was, there was no mention of "final exam review."

Then, Sankaku Hatsuka and Yawata Kailing looked at each other, a hint of embarrassment flashed in their eyes. Sankaku Hatsuka scratched his head, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.

"Exam... I forgot about it. But I have an idol job, and the teacher will be a little lenient with my grades, so it should be... no problem."

As for Hachiman Kailing, she just shrugged her shoulders, her tone full of indifference.

"As for the exam, I can just cram for it last minute. The band is more important."

Despite being a legendary mercenary and constantly busy with part-time jobs, Hachiman Kailin, a master of time management, still manages to find time to study occasionally. While her grades are undoubtedly good, music is clearly more appealing to her, and forgoing study time for music is perfectly natural.
