Gravity Girl Shining

Followed by a step back.

Avoided a dangerous attack from the darkness.

"Lixi, can I open my eyes now?"

"Open your eyes, you bastard!"

After retreating to a safe distance, Uehara Hibiki finally saw the light again.

Shiina Riki also put away his fist.

It was as if nothing had happened just now.

Except for the real touch in your own hands.

"Don't think about it!"

The girl's roar interrupted Uehara Hibiki's unforgettable fist-clenching.

"Lixi, really, don't be shy."

"You are the one without shame, aren't you?"

"Huh? It was clearly Li Xi who took the initiative and held my hand."

"Okay, shut up!"

Shiina Riki really couldn't stand it anymore. Why did he get so possessed as to do that?

It doesn't feel bad though.

It really feels different when you touch it yourself than when someone else touches you.

"Lixi? Come back to your senses!"

After calming down, Uehara Hibiki's tone became a little more restrained. After all, Shiina Riki had just gone berserk once, so it would be better not to provoke her again in the short term.

"Come to think of it, wasn't I originally asking you about your part-time job? Although someone got off topic by mistake."

Being blamed for something he had never imagined, Shiina Riki was so angry that he had no place to vent. If he had known earlier, he would have just said it directly to avoid all this trouble.

"I'm working longer hours just to save money."

"Is Lixi short of money?"

"Well, I'm planning to buy a better electronic drum set soon so I can practice at home."

Uh... the ruthless liver emperor.

Drums are typically large and take up a lot of space, unlike guitars, basses, and keyboards, which are portable and therefore not typically purchased by families. From elementary school to middle school, Shiina Tatsuki practiced the trumpet the most, something he could easily hold in one hand.

When she reached middle school, she became obsessed with drumming and could only find time to practice at school or in live houses. This is also the origin of her habit of wanting to practice at any time.

But this also means that she cannot practice when she is at home.

Now, for the goal of forming a professional band, for her bandmates, the lights, and a certain jerk, she finally made up her mind to devote her last rest time of the day to practice.

Uehara Hibiki subconsciously shook her head and stared at the corner of Li Xi's eyes for a long time, realizing that her mind could not be changed.

"Practice is important, but don't overdo it. You already have dark circles under your eyes. This makes the beautiful Lixi look less beautiful."

"really?"

Shiina Riki panicked for a second and started looking for a mirror.

"You're lying. But I noticed you yawned twice during practice."

Now that he is a hard-working person who stays up all night composing music, Uehara Hibiki can't imagine whether after buying the electronic drums, Shiina Ritz-Carlton will get excited and compose and play drums at home all night long.

When I’m tired of composing music, I just play the drums and take a break.

When I get tired of playing the drums, I write some music and take a break.

When I get tired of composing, I continue playing the drums.

What the hell is this drawing?

"You need to balance work and rest, and don't overdo it. After all, this is a lifelong band."

Is this considered caring about me?

Shiina Riki looked at Uehara Hibiki, and the anger in his heart dissipated a little, really just a little.

"I see."

I knew you would answer like this. Uehara Hibiki was also very troubled. He couldn't stop Shiina Riki's hard work, so he could only start from other places.

"But I will supervise you every day. If I notice you have dark circles under your eyes or yawn, I will make you rest in the name of the captain."

"No, that's unreasonable, isn't it?"

"Then how much sleep have you been getting every day recently, Lixi? Don't lie."

"Six hours... probably less than six hours, maybe five hours."

Shiina Riki knew that this answer would not be acceptable, so he had to explain it anyway.

"But I wasn't like this before. I always slept well. I've just been busy lately."

"If I were to talk about the latest, I'd probably be writing Bi Tian Ban Zou. After all, I promised a week, and now there are only two days left."

"Don't worry, I'll get it done."

More panicked than before, or perhaps even more frightened, Shiina Riki's voice echoed through the café. She thought back to her time at Crychic, when she'd been endlessly troubled by the music score, only to have it resolved with just a few strokes of Toyokawa Shoko's pen.

The reputation of a genius is a mountain that will forever cast a shadow over her, a mortal.

"I can do it, I can definitely do it, please..."

"Well, I believe you, Lixi, come on."

She thought she would be stopped, forced to take a good rest, or told cruel words like "I'm here to help you", but Uehara Hibiki trusted her so much.

The word "thank you" got stuck in my throat.

[Shiina Riki's strategy progress +5, now 50/100. ]

I was at a loss, and all the anger, shame, uneasiness, and worry in my heart disappeared in an instant.

Only a hint of sweetness remains.

An addictive sense of security.

Is this what happiness feels like?

Shiina Riki waved his hands around. What should he say at this moment?

"It must be boring sitting here chatting all the time. If you don't like coffee, how about a glass of juice? I'll treat you."

"No need. Li Xi is also saving money. Besides, chatting with Li Xi is not boring at all. If I really want something, I hope Li Xi can agree to it."

Uehara Hibiki stretched out his big hand again, and touched Shiina Tachibana's head while she was feeling uneasy.

"Promise me that after you finish Bitian Banzo, you'll take a leave and have a good rest. And be careful about your future life and don't work too hard. After all, a lifelong band requires a lifelong good health."

"I see."

No longer as irritable as before, Shiina Riki lowered his head obediently, enjoying Uehara Hibiki's touch.

The girl's long hair is as soft as silk, with a sweet fragrance.

Like happy chocolate.

……

Chapter 57 If Ye Mu is not afraid of death.

Shoko Toyokawa got off work early today.

It had been a long time since she had seen the sunset at Yoyogi Station.

And this time the tram no longer goes all the way north to look for the supermarket where he is.

Instead, she headed southwest to meet another person who occupied an important position in her life.

Kitami, Shinmei Bridge, and Sei Inari above.

The beautiful girl who looked like a doll was waiting for her there.

Shoko Toyokawa walked through the quiet street. Behind the luxurious buildings on both sides were bright names. It was a beautiful street, but unfortunately, it was too deserted and lacked human touch.

Arriving at the door of "Ruoye", Toyokawa Shoko rang the doorbell, just in time for the appointment. As the door opened, a graceful figure passed the maid and arrived first.

"Xiang, you're here."

Wakaba Mutsu looked at his half-body, whom he hadn't seen for many days, with joy, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Since leaving Crychic, Toyokawa Shoko has cut off all contact with everyone except Wakaba Mutsu.

But even as the inseparable half, Ruo Yemu could only communicate with Xiangzi through the mobile phone most of the time, and their meetings in real life were very rare.

"Mu."

After entering the mansion, Toyokawa Shoko looked at Wakaba Mutsu who was leaning against her side, and couldn't help but sigh helplessly and took her hand.

Although she is older than her, Xiangzi has always guided her as an older sister since she was a child.

However, instead of going to the living room or Mu's room, Toyokawa Shoko followed her past memories and came to the basement of Wakaba Mu's house.

The familiar piano and round stool were exactly what she needed.

"Mu, do you want to play together again?"

"Yeah, I want to be with Xiang."

As usual, Shoko Toyokawa began to play the piano, and Mutsuki Wakaba sat on a round stool in front of the piano and accompanied her with the guitar.

The song is titled "Moonlight".

Since they were children, at Toyokawa Shoko's house, at Wakaba Mutsu's house, and in different houses, they had the same seats. This ensemble had always existed.

From kindergarten to elementary school, and from elementary school to junior high school, it lasted for more than ten years.

They had thought the ensemble would go on forever.

Until that rain, until Crychic disbanded.

Shoko Toyokawa chose to escape.

until now.

The piano and guitar ensemble sounded again.

The two people who are each other's half never need to apologize or thank each other.

After the song ended, Toyokawa Shoko closed her eyes, as if reminiscing about the past. Then, she opened them and extended an invitation to the future to her other half.

"Mu, I want to form a band."

"Is it Crychic?"

Wakaba Mu remembered the promises Nagasaki Suyo had made to herself day after day, that she would persuade Toyokawa Shoko to return and reorganize Crychic. And according to the "good news" Suyo had revealed to her a few days ago, her reorganization plan was going very smoothly.

If it was Crychic, Ruoye Mu would be very happy. She really missed those wonderful times. She also wanted to see Nagasaki Suyo get what she wanted and regain her happiness.

“No, it’s Ave Mujica.”

However, for Ruo Ye Mu, the highest priority in all his actions is Toyokawa Shoko.

In order to get the company of Toyokawa Shoko, Wakaba Mu is willing to do anything.

Apart from this, everything must give way, including Crychic, Nagasaki Suyo, and even Wakaba Mutsu's own life.

In a sense, Ruo Yemu is also a person whose mind is full of himself.

"I'll join."

There was no hesitation at all, and Toyokawa Shoko was not surprised at all, because Xiang and Mu were mutually dependent halves, and their tacit understanding and feelings needed no further explanation.

only……

"Mu, this is a lifelong thing. And according to my plan, this band will not only perform in live houses, but after achieving certain results, we will choose to debut commercially and step onto a bigger stage. By that time, Mu, you will definitely face..."

"It's okay, because this is Xiangzi's request. This is our AveMujica."

AveMujica.
