Comet Dragon, breaking into the gravity field

Even if there was water in the manuscript paper, its weight after draining was beyond her imagination.

Recalling the scene in the cafe that day, the image of the boy turning into a tentacle monster and whipping the keyboard is still vivid in my mind.

"Does that guy ever get serious sometimes..."

Muttering softly, Shiina Riki casually took out a folder whose paper material was completely different from the similar ones on the bookshelf.

When you open it, the words on the brown-yellow paper seem to come with a gust of hot air from the desert.

Unconsciously, she was immersed in the world of yellow sand, and faced the terrifying monster named "Ao Mo" with the witness and recorder of all this.

She didn't know how long it had been before she came to her senses when she heard Deng calling her name softly beside her.

Looking around, there was no one else in the study except the two of them.

As if seeing through her thoughts, Gao Songdeng whispered, "Aine and Su Shi went downstairs to find Ritsu."

"……what?"

Completely confused as to what the two men were trying to do, Shiina Riki shook his head, feeling as if he had not yet recovered from that thrilling battle.

"Um... Does Li Xi know where to work part-time?"

"Eh, eh...? Do you want to work part-time?"

She had never expected that Deng would ask her this question. Shiina Riki was stunned and didn't know how to react.

Touching the bracelet on his wrist, Gao Songdeng said slowly, "Because if Mirshan asks Sicufin-no-Tsuyoshi to return the gift... it would be better for me to save the money myself, right?"

He counted on his fingers the pocket money his mother gave him regularly, and compared it with the price of the necklace that Ritsu Narushe loved so much in the jewelry store.

Suddenly, Gao Songdeng felt a heavy pressure.

It’s not that the amount of her pocket money is as cute as that of an elementary school student, but that the pocket money she didn’t spend in the past was all saved in the Doraemon piggy bank in her room.

I was reluctant to destroy the piggy bank that had accompanied me for so many years, but this month's pocket money seemed a little tight after I bought the book "Poems of the Heavenly Dragon" and other miscellaneous items.

Although Ritsu Narose wouldn't push her for a return gift, she could definitely wait until next month when her pockets were full before going to the store.

but……

There was an inexplicable sense of urgency in her heart urging her to take action.

Thinking this way, Takamatsu Deng decided to make a change.

44. The black hole is watching you

Even Gao Songdeng's parents did not expect that their daughter, who had always been withdrawn and taciturn, would have the idea of ​​working.

This is no longer an ordinary evolution, but a super evolution!

It's Mega Evolution!

Change is a good thing, but the Gaosong couple still couldn't help feeling both happy and worried.

What makes me happy is that my daughter is willing to work hard on her own to prepare gifts for her friends and step out of her original uncomfortable comfort zone.

What worries me is that given my daughter's personality, if she goes out to work she will most likely become a traveler drifting in the universe. Only the records played on loop can alleviate her loneliness, which makes me anxious.

Also, the fact that the return gift is given to a boy is also a concern...

However, with the support of Mrs. Takamatsu, Takamatsu Deng still became a temporary employee of the RiNG second-floor cafe (until his wallet is full).

Even her family would be shocked by her idea, not to mention some unconscious guy.

In the new week, when a lazy person who was on leave from school continued to come to the cafe to punch in on time, he saw Takamatsu Deng wearing a pure black work uniform.

The most frequently used modal particle in the populous nation across the ocean came out of her mouth. The reason was simply that Naruse Ritsu simply couldn't accurately describe her current state of mind in Japanese.

Am I still dreaming?

Sitting in the familiar seat, putting his almost dislocated jaw back into place, Ritsu Narose crossed his hands to support his nose, making the same pose as Commander Ikari.

The more he watched, the more horrified he became.

Not only Takamatsu Touma, but even Shiina Riki's attitude towards him became strange.

The girl who used to look annoyed and put pressure on him whenever she got the chance, just now came over to him in a normal tone to ask for his order.

Mutation! This is a mutation!

Fearing that he would travel to a seemingly parallel world overnight, or that alien insects would invade without anyone noticing and replace the people around him, Ritsu Narose decided to give it a try first.

"Snapped--"

He slammed the table, stood up and said in a loud voice:

"There aren't many customers besides me, but is the cafe's staffing already so stretched to this point?"

Gazing at the questioning Shiina Riki from afar, he seemed to be possessed by a spirit, achieving a perfect sync with the legendary blue-suited, spiky-haired lawyer, and unleashed a powerful hand gesture:

"You traitor, you call yourself the 'Guardian of the Lamp' in vain. You actually brought the Lamp into the Shura workplace, where the flames of karma are swamped, and let her experience the cruel life of a corporate slave—"

"You even want to use the power of the lamp. You are no longer a human being!"

Faced with such provocation, Shiina Ritsuki, who had just changed his mind about Ritsu Narose in the past few days, immediately frowned and angrily slammed the counter.

Seeing this scene, Ritsu Narose slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

I was right.

However, before he could say the next word, Shiina Riki rushed out of the counter, pulled his sleeve and walked to another corner.

Is this to trap him in a corner in a state of extreme rage and then kill him with ten cuts?

Remembering that he once witnessed a young hero who was both an archer and a swordsman being cornered and hacked to death by an unknown ninja in the castle tower, Ritsu Naruse looked at the girl who was struggling with him as if he was facing a great enemy.

But on second thought, this little panda... seems like it's not strong enough?

Full of confusion, Ritsu Narose did not resist much and followed her to the corner.

"Deng came to work here to prepare a return gift for you!"

After avoiding Takamatsu Touma's sight, Shiina Riki's first words were shocking.

"Return a gift? Work?" Naruse Ritsu was stunned. "But I don't remember doing anything that required a return gift?"

"The bracelet you gave me the day before yesterday."

"hiss--"

This is this...

It really made him feel terrified.

It may sound a bit rude, but when she thought about how that little animal that was so timid towards strangers dared to work in a coffee shop where there were so many people and the sun was shining, Ritsu Narose felt worried about Deng.

Moreover, since I was the one who caused this series of incidents, I felt even more uneasy.

"It seems that we have to take care of business now."

Recalling the many dishes on the menu besides drinks, Ritsu Narushe's eyes showed a determined look.

As a fellow dragon-controller, Tyrannosaurus Rex, who is far away in another world, please lend me your power!

"Don't do anything strange...and don't let Deng know."

Sighing, seeing that Naruse Ritsu probably understood what he said, Shiina Riki turned around and was about to leave.

"Lady, wait a minute—"

"What kind of name is this..."

Looking at the young man in front of him with a serious expression, Shiina Riki pouted with an unhappy look on his face.

"I want to ask," Naruse Ritsu whispered, glancing warily at the counter, "Who wrote the lyrics for 'Haruhi no Kage', the song CRYCHIC originally performed?"

"What do you want to do?" Hearing that not-so-pleasant keyword, Shiina Riki's face became noticeably gloomier.

"[CRYCHIC] has disbanded—"

"I understand, I understand. I understand." Ritsu Narose acted as if he was chatting with a good friend, and habitually patted the girl who, in his eyes, had a serious and stubborn temper.

Afterwards, he recounted his thoughts on the [CRYCHIC] live yesterday.

Eliminating those words of praise, the final summary can be summed up in one sentence:

It suits my taste, I stole it.

Creative inspiration continues to erupt, and the inner curiosity is as itchy as a cat scratching the door.

When she thought that the lyricist who could create a work that was so in line with her XP was lurking in Tokyo, Ritsu Naruse could not bear the urge to go and ask for advice.

"Why don't you go ask Nagasaki Suyo? You have a better relationship with her, right?"

"With guitarists having varying abilities, could there be talented lyricists?"

Unsure whether this was an insult to the guitarist or a joke about the bass, Shiina Riki was silent for a moment before explaining, "Let's not talk about where your prejudice comes from... Nagasaki Suyo is the bassist."

"Oh... Anyway, that's not the point!"

With a clap of his hands, Naruse Ritsu looked at Shiina Ritsuki with burning eyes.

"I wonder if Mr. Shiina could tell me the name of that talented person so I can visit him. Of course, it would be even better if Mr. Shiina is willing to introduce me to someone or two."

I had been happy that Deng could write such touching lyrics, but why did I not want to tell him the truth when I saw this guy in front of me?

Shiina Riki looked at Naruse Ritsu as if he was looking at a parrot in heat standing on a branch outside the window.

"Well, if the lyricist isn't comfortable coming forward, I'd be fine with meeting with the composer."

"You still want to meet the composer of 'Haruhi Kage'?"

"Is that possible? If so, it would be a wonderful thing to discuss the inspiration behind his creation with that genius."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ritsu Narose saw Shiina Riki walking away without looking back.

"?"

What's going on?

45. Minutes of the First Session (Part 1)

Although he had some unpleasantness with Shiina Riki and he didn't know what went wrong, Shiina Riki finally gave in under his relentless pursuit.

"Shocked! The little animal I met turned out to be a lyricist genius!" - After hearing the truth from Shiina Riki, he drafted the subtitle for today's diary.

When it got a little later, Chihaya Aine and Nagasaki Motoyo also arrived here slowly.

Seeing that everyone was present, Ritsu Narose, who was serving as the clerk, set up her cell phone and opened her laptop, ready to record every detail of this important event, the girls' first band meeting.

"Um...is it necessary to be so serious?"

Seeing the camera facing her, Chihaya Aine, who was originally thinking about the band name leisurely, couldn't help but feel nervous.

The sense of oppression brought by Ritsu Narose was far greater than when she was the student council president and had to face hundreds of teachers and classmates when she stood on the stage to give a speech.

What is this? A one-man army?

Seeing that Chihaya Aine was unusually resistant to being on camera, Ritsu Narose had no choice but to put away his phone and prepare to record the content of today's meeting truthfully.

Rather than giving meaningless speeches, Ritsu Narose, who also serves as the guest host, prefers to get straight to the point.

Opening the notebook at hand, he looked at the discussion content that had been collected earlier.

"First item, the band name."

If you want to form a band, a loud and attractive name is naturally indispensable.

For example, Silver-Winged Evil Star, Silver-Winged Evil Star, and...Silver-Winged Evil Star.

If this name is changed to a nickname like "The Silver Bird That Fell from the Sky", "The Enemy of Water Beasts", "The Celebrity in Fishing", etc., it would lose its style and would definitely be laughed at by Mee Mee and other bastards who just want to watch the fun and make trouble.

Therefore, the clerk, Mr. Ritsu Naruse, was very satisfied with the first topic raised by Chihaya Aine.

BLACK SABBATH, Guns N' Roses, The Rolling Stones... those famous bands put their ambition and talent into their names without being superficial.

Although his strength cannot even reach the tail gas of those legends, his willingness to emulate his predecessors is worthy of recognition.

"No... I didn't think that much..."

As Naruse Ritsu expressed his words of praise, the other three all stared at Chihaya Aine with either admiration or surprise, forcing the person in question to blush and lower her head in shame.

"Then let's start the band name competition with Aine!"
