Gravity Girl Shining

Uehara Hibiki's imagination is unleashed. After a tiring day, Toyokawa Shoko, dressed in a suit and tie, returns home and greets Takamatsu Deng while feeding him. "Honey, you eat first, take a shower first, and Deng-chan eats me first?"

Bliss!

Luckily, Toyokawa Shoko couldn't read other people's minds, otherwise she'd probably have slapped them. She just stared blankly at the piano case behind Uehara Hibiki, as if lost in some kind of reminiscence. "Before, Ting Deng, you would occasionally practice in the activity room. Your keyboard is different from mine; it has an impulsive power."

"After all, Deng, even though she doesn't understand music theory, she can feel emotions. Different people naturally express different emotions through music." Uehara Hibiki saw the desire in Toyokawa Shoko's eyes and pushed the guitar case towards her. "Would you like to try it? With headphones, it won't disturb others."

Toyokawa Shoko was silent for a long time, then withdrew her outstretched hand. "Okay, I'll teach you how to compose music. To the extreme."

"So, do you want to listen to my music? To gauge my abilities as part of your teaching."

"That's a good reason," Toyokawa Shoko acquiesced with a smile. "Then please play one of your best songs."

Best at?

When it comes to Hara Hibiki's best songs, it's naturally the legendary one. Four lucky draws, four hits, everything from the creator's heartfelt LIVE experience to various remixes of the original score.

As for Shoko Toyokawa?

But you choose.

Then, when the familiar melody sounded, Toyokawa Shoko immediately lost her composure, her face fell and she held down Uehara Hibiki's hand.

"To play Kasuga Shadow!"

Regarding the translation of Nagasaki Sushi, we previously used the official translation "Shuangshi", but considering that the translated name "Sushi" is indeed more well-known and more widely accepted, we have corrected it today.

Chapter 14: A Lifetime

Toyokawa Shoko never left CRYCHIC, and Kasuga Shadow was classified as a forbidden song by her.

Desensitization is always a long process, so Uehara Hibiki was prepared for a protracted battle. The subsequent teaching process went very smoothly. With the help of Focus + Learning Skills, and the help of Toyokawa Shoko, a good teacher, Uehara Hibiki was able to awaken the system and become the first to independently comprehend a skill, reaching Level 1 Composition in just a few nights.

Uehara Hibiki had a feeling that the three pieces of music knowledge had not been fully digested. With time, these skills could be upgraded through self-study without the need to invest in props.

Not now, there is always the ability to compose, and it is time to invite the lights.

In the after-school activity room, Takamatsu Deng was still playing with her beloved stone, and the astronomy club still had no name for her daily routine today.

"Deng, I have something to tell you."

The routine is broken.

Gao Songdeng looked up and saw Uehara Hibiki, who looked a little serious, and couldn't help but stand up.

"Sound, I'm listening."

Without beating around the bush, knowing Takamatsu Deng wouldn't understand those polite remarks, Uehara Hibiki got straight to the point. "Deng, I'd like to invite you to form a band. Would you be willing?"

"band!"

Gao Songdeng's eyes lit up. After receiving the affirmation from Toyokawa Shoko, she also ignited her desire to sing again.

The disbandment of CRYCHIC is an extremely painful, horrible and sad memory.

Gao Songdeng didn't want to go through that kind of pain again, and she was afraid of the possibility of the band disbanding.

and so……

"If I join, Hibiki, would you be willing to form a lifelong band with me?"

?

Hands for a lifetime?

Uehara Hibiki didn't expect Deng to ask such a question, and was slightly stunned. After seeing Uehara Hibiki's hesitation, Takamatsu Deng suspected that he was right and immediately turned around and tried to escape.

But you have run away twice before, so how can you succeed a third time?

Uehara Hibiki directly grabbed Takamatsu Deng's arm, and the difference in strength trapped her in place, unable to move.

"Sorry, Hibiki, I..."

"I do. I am willing to be with the lamp for the rest of my life."

Uehara Hibiki interrupted her directly. She didn't react at first, but now she came to her senses and thought, wouldn't Takamatsu Deng walk into the trap?

lifetime?

I have already decided on you. I want you to stay by my side forever. You can't leave even if you want to.

The immense happiness knocked open the door of Gao Song Deng Xin. Her body trembled and she repeated the question again.

"Xiang, are you really willing to form a band with me for life?"

"I am willing."

Uehara Hibiki spun Takamatsu Deng around, grasping her shoulders with both hands. Their eyes met. "We'll be in this band for life, and we'll never be apart. I promise Deng."

【高松灯攻略进度+20，现为60/100，触发二阶段情感阈值（60/100），获取额外奖励：纯爱之心×20。】

Wait a minute, the progress is a bit fast.

Just when Uehara Hibiki was in doubt, Takamatsu Deng stood on tiptoe, got close to his face, and repeated something in his mouth like a spell.

"Then make a promise, for a lifetime! We will never, ever, ever separate."

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the golden item, Oath Series: A Lifetime.]

[Special note: Violating the oath will have unpredictable and serious consequences, please proceed with caution.]

Under the system's blood-red warning font, the offense and defense suddenly switched, and the person who fell into the trap seemed to be Uehara Hibiki.

Sweating profusely.

Looking at the cute face in front of him, Uehara Hibiki forced himself to calm down. Even if the consequences were serious, he would still be able to keep his promise.

Nothing.

Takamatsu Deng is such a cute girl, I can make a lot of money with her for the rest of my life.

Don't be scared.

His hands slipped from Takamatsu Touma's shoulders and held hers. The soft touch reaffirmed Uehara Hibiki's resolve. "That's right, it's a deal, Touma. We're going to be a band for life."

As Takamatsu Deng's emotions gradually calmed down, Uehara Hibiki also breathed a sigh of relief, walked to the table with Deng's hand, and slowly described the band he had conceived.

Commercialization and operational issues were off the table for now. Uehara Hibiki planned to learn from HotChilliRaisin and start as a semi-professional team, honing his skills, building popularity and performance experience, and then transitioning to full-time once he'd achieved a certain level of success. Regardless, the system certified talent, so there were no issues with competence, which saved him time.

But it takes time to integrate a team, and Uehara Hibiki doesn't want to forcibly form a galactic battleship without a team spirit, debut quickly, and then explode quickly.

"Li Xi and Su Shi?"

After listening to Uehara Hibiki's selection of band member candidates, Takamatsu Deng lowered his head and began to think again.

In fact, there are other members. After all, Uehara Hibiki has been a mercenary for so many days, and he has also listed some potential candidates. It's a pity that Xiaodeng only has eyes for her former teammates.

As for Wakaba Mu, her statement that she never liked bands caused CRYCHIC to explode. Uehara Hibiki relied on the band for her livelihood, and before they could determine her true feelings, they excluded her for the sake of team stability.

Regarding CRYCHIC, Uehara Hibiki collected perspectives from three parties, but only Deng and Xiangzi, the two people who were most familiar with him, did not reveal relevant information to him.

"Lixi, a terrible, strict person, was also angry with me and blamed me for not singing well."

No, you are completely wrong. Ms. Lixi, you are my number one supporter. This misunderstanding is too outrageous.

"You Sushi, she's been contacting me since CRYCHIC disbanded, but I don't dare talk to her... What should I do?"

"Deng, do you hate them?"

"it's OK."

"Then go meet them, clear up any misunderstandings, and then try inviting them."

Encouraged by Uehara Hibiki, Takamatsu Deng opened his mobile phone and sent meeting invitations to the two friends whom he had neglected for a long time.

The result is self-evident. Both of them responded at lightning speed, their words carefully chosen, for fear of missing the opportunity.

"See, isn't it easy? Deng, you have to be more confident. Don't worry, I will accompany you this afternoon."

"Ah."

Takamatsu Deng held Uehara Hibiki's hand tightly, and the two of them interlocked their fingers, feeling the warmth of each other's palms.

…………

So, after school, RING saw Takamatsu Deng hiding behind Uehara Hibiki like a little bird, and Shiina Riki was angry.

But she was only angry.

After all, in front of Uehara Hibiki's current boyfriend, the dumped former teammates have no right to speak on stage.

However, the sullen look on her face triggered some memories in Takamatsu Deng, and he was startled instinctively, and his whole body almost stuck to Uehara Hibiki's arm.

Softness, bliss!

Uehara Hibiki rubbed the little animal's head and gave her courage again.

Watching the interaction between the two people, Shiina Riki's anger increased, doubled, and exploded, but in the end everything turned into helplessness and anger, and tears of blood flowed in his heart.

As for Nagasaki Suyo, she only looked calm, but in fact she was no less shaken than Riki.

She keenly noticed that the relationship between Takamatsu and Uehara Hibiki had reached a level that was difficult to interfere with. In addition, she had learned that Uehara Hibiki was a professional keyboard player... The plan to reorganize CRYCHIC might have encountered the biggest obstacle.

In the atmosphere where everyone had their own ulterior motives, Uehara Hibiki spoke first.

"I've gathered everyone here today to sit down and have a good chat. First, I want to apologize to the three of you. I was rude to you when I contacted Shiina-san and Nagasaki-san, and I also concealed relevant information from Deng. But all of this was to facilitate today's conversation. I hope the three of you can communicate well and resolve any misunderstandings."

"No, it's okay. Uehara-san was thinking about Deng, I know." Unlike the other two who remained silent, Nagasaki Suyo took up the topic. "CRYCHIC disbanded because we didn't communicate well back then. Now, thank you Uehara-san for giving us a chance. Deng, do you keep blaming me?"

"Because I didn't sing well and made everyone angry, I initially didn't want to. But..." Takamatsu Deng's tone gradually became firmer. "With Xiang's help, I talked to Xiangzi, and she didn't blame me. So, I was able to muster up the courage to apologize to Li Xi..."

"No need to apologize!" Shiina Riki couldn't help but retort. "I might be mad at you? What upsets me more than an argument is that Deng didn't come to the practice room."

"As expected, I'm angry..."

"No, actually Li Xi has always liked lights."

"what!"

Shiina Riki slammed the table, but seeing Deng's confused look, he was at a loss for what to do for a moment.

Okay, another patient with communication disorder, different from Deng Xiangmu, a new type.

Uehara Hibiki couldn't stand it any longer and asked a yes or no question. "Shiina-san, do you think Deng can't sing well?"

“Maybe, the lantern song is the best!”

"Lixi! Thank you."

Such a simple question and answer, and the knot in my heart was naturally untied. As expected, just like Nagasaki Suyo, communication is the most important thing.

After Kandō reconciled with Riki, Nagasaki Suyo immediately began her attack.

"Deng, Lixi, now that we have resolved our misunderstandings, it would be a shame to continue drifting apart. I hope we can start over and try to form a band again."

That’s right, now is the best time. The three of them have regrouped, Mu is also waiting, Deng just talked to Xiangzi, and CRYCHIC is reborn before their eyes.

Nagasaki Suyo's beautiful wish unfolded at this moment, and then in an instant, it was torn apart by the words of the boy opposite.

"Indeed, I came here today to invite you to join me and the Lantern Band."

Chapter 15 Guitar Hero

"Your band?"

Nagasaki Suyo's voice was trembling and she could hardly hold it in.

Gao Songdeng nodded, a look of determination on his face. "Xiang and I made a pact to be in a band for life."

"lifetime?"

Shiina Riki also trembled and asked in a low voice.

Uehara Hibiki followed up the conversation, laying out his plans. "In my vision, we're a band focused on commercial success. While we won't be making a debut anytime soon, our ultimate goal is to make music our future career. Therefore, it's important to consider these unusual hobbies and social activities, as they involve your life plans. I hope you'll consider this carefully."

"No need to think about it, I want to join! If I can talk to Deng, I'm willing to do it for the rest of my life. I can swear."

Shiina Riki didn't hesitate at all, swearing to speak these words without hesitation, and pushing the person's gold content alone. As for Nagasaki Suyo, she closed her eyes in pain.

The battle was defeated before it even started, and the teammates surrendered directly. Should we fight?

But Nagasaki Suyo will never give up.

It will be commercialized in the future, but not now. As long as we infiltrate it, and endure hardships, we will surely break through from within and persuade Deng and Lixi to change their minds. As for Xiaomu, she'll have to wait a little longer.
