Gravity Girl Shining

Close your eyes and press play.

Shiina Tatsuki's production is flawless, and it's not just a temporary effort. Uehara Hibiki has worked with Shiina Tatsuki for so long that he knows her meticulous nature and her obsession with revising the same piece over and over again.

Even if it was just a few short bars at the end, she must have put in unimaginable effort.

"Lixi."

"I'm here."

Feeling uneasy and longing for affirmation, even someone as strong-willed as Shiina Riki couldn't help but feel nervous at such moments.

"Okay, I'm satisfied, Lixi, no."

A smile bloomed on Shiina Riki's face. All the hard work of the past few days turned into joy at this moment.

Shiina Riki doesn't need others to praise her hard work, that's what she deserves. She just wants to be sure of the results.

"Hmph, use you."

Oh, I just praised you and you are pretending.

Uehara Hibiki deliberately leaned forward, quietly admiring the girl's charming face. "Does Li Xi need my reward?"

Shiina Riki's hands trembled, and he nearly dropped the cup he was wiping. "No, no, you're being ridiculous in public!"

"Huh? It's obviously an ordinary reward, where are you thinking of going?" Uehara Hibiki reached out to hold the cup in Shiina Riki's hand, his fingers clasped on the smooth glass outer wall, and he gently leaned forward, and their fingertips kissed each other.

With a chill, Shiina Riki subconsciously withdrew his hand, and the cup tilted into Hara Hibiki's hand, and the water in it spilled all over the table.

"What did Lishidi imagine? He couldn't even come out in public."

Shiina Riki was about to explode. Her fist pierced the air, sending a gust of wind caressing Hara Hibiki's nose. "I don't know, I don't know, I don't know! Don't ask anymore, you bastard!"

That’s right, no more questions.

Uehara Hibiki, a hateful guy, a nasty guy, a frivolous guy, but, he...

Shiina Riki thought of Deng's happy smile.

No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't make the lamp smile like that.

Only Uehara Hibiki can do something.

So you should take the initiative to retreat...

"Ritsuki, do you want to go out and play with Touichi?" Uehara Hibiki interrupted Shiina Ritsuki's self-examination and offered her an offer she couldn't refuse.

"The new song is done, so after Golden Week, let's find a day to hang out together after rehearsals. It's like team building."

If you want to celebrate, you and Deng are good, why bring me along...

"Lixi is also a composer and the core of the team. He has worked hard and made great contributions, so he should be rewarded. Besides, team building is something that can only be called a team if everyone has fun."

A sweet trap caught Shiina Riki. She should have kept a distance from Uehara Hibiki, but her hope of getting lucky prevailed again.

If you are doing team activities, don't cross the line.

"You're just a nobody and you want to play around. Have you been infected by that Chihaya?"

Although Shiina Riki was being stubborn, Uehara Hibiki knew that she agreed.

Then, the trouble is coming. I thought I could wait until tomorrow, but Li Xi finished the Star Calling in advance, and there is no time to waste.

Uehara Hibiki cautiously handed the light note to Li Xi who was wiping the water.

"Lixi, I have something to tell you, take a look."

"Light notebook??"

Wiping the moisture off the table and her hands, Shiina Riki solemnly accepted the notebook. On the day Hibiki Uehara was officially recognized as the band's core member, she had voluntarily given up asking for it, only borrowing it temporarily when composing. Unexpectedly, today, Hibiki Uehara handed it to her again.

"Don't miss the first page, turn to the back."

"Behind? Behind..."

Is it a new song?

Naturally, Shiina Riki made a guess. But the more she held onto this assumption, the more surprised she became when she turned to the unfamiliar page.

Sure enough, the lyrics were correct, but the intense emotion didn't belong to the lamp. Seeing the unfamiliar handwriting, uneasiness crept into her heart.

Continue turning the pages, there are not only lyrics, but also music scores, complete music scores, and each instrument's part is copied on it line by line.

A complete song.

A strange song.

"Night of the Wolf? Do you write music?"

Even though he knew the answer, Shiina Riki wanted to ask clearly.

"From writing the lyrics to composing the music, I was the only one doing it."

“How long will it take to complete?”

"I started writing the day Aine joined and polished it for several nights."

Well, another genius.

Shiina Riki smiled. She was originally complacent and thought that it was a great thing to be able to collaborate with Uehara Hibiki to create a song for Deng.

Even if you stay up late for a few nights to compose music, even if you feel restless for a few days, even if you rely on coffee to squeeze out your energy, even if you rely on energy jelly to fill your stomach, no matter how much hard work you put in, it will be worth it in the end.

She felt that she could fill the empty place in Deng's heart after Xiangzi left.

Tatsuki Shiina can do as well as Shoko Toyokawa.

However, outside of his collaboration with , Hibiki Uehara can easily come up with a highly complete song.

Every part is perfect and there is nothing wrong with it.

Joint composition?

Does it really work?

The so-called joint composition may not only be the work of a genius, but also a pity that he missed the opportunity.

Just mediocre.

A sense of inferiority surged up, like a deep pool, swallowing up Shiina Riki. The only remaining bit of self-esteem floated on the surface of the water, and it was not long before it dissolved in the water.

Then, Uehara Hibiki's voice was heard.

"Turn back again."

Is there one behind?

Second song?

Is genius so out of reach?

Shiina Riki lost all his strength, and all the energy he had in the past disappeared. He just stood there, trying his best.

The last bit of dignity supported Shiina Riki's legs, preventing him from kneeling in front of Uehara Hibiki.

She didn't want to admit defeat.

But she didn't have the strength to continue reading.

Then, Uehara Hibiki took the initiative to reach out and help her open the notes.

I dare not go to see it.

But her dignity told her not to admit defeat.

However, to her surprise, the next page of the notebook changed back to the familiar text.

New lyrics for the tall pine lantern.

"Walking with the Blue Sky".

"I asked Deng to write this song for people who work hard."

A hard-working person.

Familiarity with the words allows strength to flow back into the body.

After taking the notebook, Shiina Riki read the gift word by word.

She hated being praised for her efforts.

But isn’t hard work also a virtue worthy of praise?

"I just..."

Just want proof.

Shiina Riki didn't say the second half of the sentence because Deng said to her, "You work very hard."

"I plant..."

…………

(lyrics)

Stop saying things like "I am a different species".

Because you don't want to say anything discouraging.

So look up, (I'll tell you).

…………

The lyrics of this song are truly the true voice of Shiina Riki.

The parts of her heart that she had hidden and dared not to speak in the past were directly revealed by the lyrics of "Deng".

While I was trying hard to hold back my tears, something hot began to burn.

Uehara Hibiki held Shiina Tatsuki's hand, his palms equally warm, conveying the musician's emotions.

"Lixi, let's go with Shoubitian. I hope you can compose the music by yourself."

"I know."

Shiina Riki's eyes became determined. With enough fuel, she could continue to burn on the road of music.

The fire in her heart has always been so hot that it is enough to burn everything, including...

"Okay, I believe in Lixi. I have always believed in your talent. In the future, we will have more works. I will always appreciate your guidance."

But now, someone's shadow blocks the blazing flames.

The fire turned into light, still dazzling and warm, but Shiina Riki's heart would no longer be easily burned.

Reassuring.

I have a feeling of being trusted, and I want it to last forever.

In Shiina Riki's heart, a line was quietly crossed.

She was lost in happiness, selectively ignored rational warnings, and took the initiative to step into the hunter's trap.

"Well, for a lifetime, please give me your guidance."

…………

[Shiina Riki's strategy progress increased by +10, now at 35/100. Exceeding the first stage threshold, obtaining an additional reward: Pure Love Heart x 10.]

Ignoring the system voice, Uehara Xiang quietly enjoyed Li Xi's little hand, savoring the similarities and differences with the lamp.

The palms are broad and strong, with some calluses on the palms, obviously from long-term exercise.

The fingers are thin and the joints are hard, but the backs of the fingers are still soft, and they are more ticklish than lamps.

As soon as the ticklish spot was touched, Shiina Riki pulled his hand back like lightning, denying Uehara Hibiki the opportunity to further savor it.

"You guys are pushing your luck again."

The charming woman raised her eyebrows and rolled her eyes at Uehara Hibiki. Shiina Riki pretended to be angry and turned around to escape to the coffee making room.

The drum team members are like rubbish. If there is a light, they will definitely hold hands.

Too few times of being teased.

Continue next time.

Leaving the light notebook inside the bar, Uehara Hibiki was about to leave, but saw Kaname Rakuna sitting opposite her, looking at the side proudly.
