Heavy girl? I feel worse than Black Hole Trigger!

But, Yun? Whether then or today, he's always dressed in black! How can he look like a Yun?

"My name is Baodeng Zheli. What about you?" he introduced himself.

"Lena." The girl blinked, and a soft voice came out from her slightly opened mouth: "I want Lenai."

So he could answer properly. Zhe Li was a little surprised.

After all, he is also an expert in animation. He has seen many girls of this type in various works. Their main characteristics are their jumping thoughts and shocking words, which make it impossible for others to keep up with the topic.

Often in the end, people develop the habit of being silent or living in isolation.

When he watched anime in the past, he never understood why the protagonists and even the audience often found children with this kind of personality difficult to deal with. Wouldn't it be enough to just follow their logic, chat with them normally, and play normally?

When he grew up, he realized that it wasn't that people didn't understand, but that people just didn't want to compromise themselves for someone unimportant.

Life is already tiring, why should I accommodate you?

As for Baodeng Zheli… He didn't care. It wasn't that he was like a saint, selflessly giving everything, but the environment he grew up in taught him that you have to give first before you can get: if you want to be favored by others, you must first learn to love others.

What's more, he has nothing to lose now.

"Can I call you Xiao Lenai? You can just call me Zheli."

I always feel that saying "要" is a bit weird.

"Yeah." Le Nai nodded simply, "Zhe Li."

This child always seems a little dull. Zhe Li smiled.

He noticed that the other person was pulling a trailer loaded with guitar cases.

"If you want to use the venue, Lenai-chan, I'll give it to you first."

Lenai tilted her head, "Together?"

"Together?"

Zhe Li thought for two seconds.

"...It's not impossible."

It's actually not complicated to explain why he borrowed the open microphone at RiNG's cafe.

Live House "RiNG", although named as Live House, actually occupies the entire building and can be called a large commercial center with music business as its main business.

In addition to the spacious cafe on the second floor, there's also a recording studio and performance hall on the first floor, along with a corresponding reservation and consultation counter. Plus, there's a specialty store selling musical instruments and accessories. If you're a music lover, you can spend an entire day at "RiNG" without even setting foot outside.

For example, today's Zheli is like this.

I was just asking if there were any recommended brands of musical instruments, but the enthusiastic clerk pulled me around to look at everything, from guitars to basses to electronic keyboards, and I even tried playing the drums. In the end, I walked out of the store with the most expensive guitar, accompanied by the clerk's warm thank you for coming.

Baodeng Zheli was actually a little confused when he stood at the door of the store with his guitar case on his back.

There is a kind of beauty that comes from being cheated.

Let me reiterate that Baodeng Zheli has never played a musical instrument.

But he was cheating.

The shop assistant simply brushed the strings a few times while tuning, and he memorized the fingerings at a glance. Then, when it was his turn to try out the guitar, he imitated her. It seems that because of this, he was mistaken for an expert, and was recommended this guitar that was said to be very unique...

At this point, all I can do is—body, let me see your limits! Albert, add some more!

So he temporarily borrowed RiNG's recording studio, and watched the introductory tutorials on the Internet alone on his mobile phone, studying hard and diligently. When the reserved time slot was gone, he ran to the second floor to borrow an open microphone, determined to perform "Rebirth in Tokyo: I am the King of Rock".

Otherwise, it would be a shame to spend such a large sum of money on a guitar and not play with it properly!

Haha, this is what happens when you’re used to being poor.

Now, after a whole day of hard work and with a little help from the blood alien body, he can barely be considered an independent guitarist, but he still cannot accurately recognize the extent of his level.

Now that Lenai has invited me to play together, it might be a good idea to accept the invitation.

He has always been indifferent.

After thinking about it, Zheli unplugged the wire and handed it to Lenai, and then he took another wire to connect to another effects pedal.

Even if it is the same guitar, it can be divided into "lead guitar" and "rhythm guitar" because of the different roles it plays in performance.

As the name suggests, the lead guitar is often the focal point of the band, on par with the lead singer, while the rhythm guitar is responsible for controlling the beat and chord progression. Although it is also an important job, it is relatively unnoticed, just like the bass.

This time, Zheli plans to play the rhythm guitar and let Xiao Lenai play the lead role.

——Ever since he knew that this was the world of BanG Dream, he was looking forward to seeing the live performance of the “protagonist”.

It’s a pity that he was in such a hurry that he didn’t have the chance to see it once.

His experience as an anime expert told him that this girl named Le Nai was definitely an important character in the story. Even if she wasn't a member of the protagonists, she was definitely a formidable opponent. Since she was willing to demonstrate her strength, Zhe Li had no reason to refuse.

Especially when you can enjoy it up close on the same stage!

So the girl connected the wire to her electric guitar and looked at him with her head tilted.

Zheli guessed that this was Lena's way of expressing confusion. So he simply asked, "What's wrong?"

"A song." Lenai said concisely.

"You want to ask me for sheet music?"

Lenai nodded vigorously, "Yeah."

Zhe Li was surprised again. He thought Lenai was going to improvise on the spot.

Although this child looks like someone who would skip classes and run around, he unexpectedly has a thoughtful side.

Whether it was inviting Zhe Li back after he gave up the stage, or now paying attention to first come first served and choosing to play the song he originally wanted to play first.

I have to say that human beings are very strange. If a person who is usually quite reliable keeps nagging, you may just think that the other person is noisy and a bitch, but if a guy who is usually quite off-line or very free suddenly cares about you, you will suddenly think, wow, she is so annoying.

However, this time, Zhe Li really didn't care, after all, he didn't bring any sheet music with him from the beginning...

But seeing Lenai staring at him intently, he didn't want to dampen her enthusiasm just like that.

"Well--"

Zhe Li's gaze quickly swept across the entire cafe.

Good, no one's watching now.

He suddenly put on a serious expression, opened his left palm and hid it behind his back.

At this moment, the little finger of the left hand suddenly melted and turned into a ball of blood-red mud. It quickly formed into the shape of a paper roll and began to wriggle. In the blink of an eye, it changed from blood-red to pure white and then separated from the little finger, and the little finger also returned to its original shape at the same time.

It all happens in an instant.

Zheli took out his left hand from behind his back and spread out a roll of paper in front of Le Na.

"Here, the sheet music."

Lenai's eyes lit up, "Magic?"

"Yes. I'm a magician."

"Amazing."

"Praise me more."

“Super awesome.”

As Lenai spoke, he took the music sheet and spread it on the music stand.

It was clearly a roll of paper just a moment ago, but the moment it was laid out it seemed to be "stuck" to the rack, without any sign of unrolling.

Like a piece of living meat...

But apparently Lenai didn't notice this. He just looked at the music score with great interest - although still expressionless - and then nodded with "hmm." Then he raised his hand and started to play the strings!

"——————"

Powerful chord notes were emitted by the vibrating speakers, spreading throughout the entire cafe...

Lost Star Chapter 6 Summer Time Record: Chapter Looking Up at the Sky

The sudden sound of powerful chords lifted Bao Deng Zheli's spirits.

Listening to the familiar chords, he couldn't help but smile, and picked up his pick, waiting.

Soon, a relatively low tone fills the background, bringing the still somewhat wild guitar solo into a more familiar rhythm.

Then, a voice that sounded lazy at first but full of energy turned into a song.

"The leaden sky slid down heavily"

"The sun, stagnant in pure white, is shattered into pieces"

"The ringing in my ears is getting sharper..."

The guitar played dense and powerful chords, but the somewhat hoarse male voice seemed to lack energy.

It was a cloudy day outside the window.

It was just before dusk and the cafe had not yet turned on its night lights; just like the lyrics said, the sun was torn into pieces by dark clouds, and the cafe also looked a little dark.

At that moment, the magnetic song first transformed into thick smoke, then mist, then dark clouds, and finally a sky full of rain. In just three short sentences, the dense chords together outlined a dark, oppressive rain. Just imagining it makes me breathless...

This song is "曇天" (Cloudy Day) by the Japanese rock band "DOES".

It is widely known as the fifth opening theme song of the TV anime "Gintama".

... Fortunately, although this was a world themed around a "girls' band," some classic songs still existed normally, rather than disappearing inexplicably. This gave Bao Deng Zheli some comfort.

Although Zheli had never learned guitar before, he had heard this song described as "a song that beginners can definitely play," for example, because the intro consists of a single, repetitive power chord. This is why he picked this song out to practice when he first got a guitar.

But everyone also agrees that only DOES can bring out that Japanese-style samurai flavor.

Until Bao Deng Zheli heard Ya Le Nai's performance today.

——Because Lenai plays the piano so well!

I'm sorry, everyone at DOES, I declare that the Le Nai version is the orthodox version of "Sunset"!

...Just kidding.

Common sense in anime told Bao Deng Zeli that a girl who was beautiful and behaved strangely must be special. Then, when he saw Lenai coming alone with her guitar case to borrow the open microphone, he guessed that she might be that kind of talented guitarist, and that was why he was full of expectations.

But now it seems that genius alone is not enough to describe her.

I can only say that Le Na is too strong, and it seems that Le Na has not yet used his full strength. Even if he did not give up the main instrument position, he would still win.

Even if Baodeng Zheli hadn't been able to master the guitar, relying on his alien-like stats, and after a day of hurried guitar lessons, his skills would have been at best on par with hers, which gave you an idea of just how much Le Nai's supreme talent had been added. Not to mention, she'd only glanced at the sheet music, with no proficiency bonus, and her technique was all plain and simple.

This is BanG Dream... This is the violence of talent...

While Zhe Li was sighing in his heart, he listened to the smooth guitar sound and sang more and more freely.

It’s bad, I feel like I’m going to fall!

When I was practicing alone, I just felt that I was learning too fast and it was a bit boring. Now, even though there is just one more person playing together, the satisfaction I get from playing together is far greater than before.

Hey, is making music so fun?

"...!"

On the side, Lenai's fingers did not stop brushing the strings, but her eyes seemed to be shining.

Seeing her joyful expression out of the corner of his eye, Zhe Li was also infected by that emotion and smiled slightly.

“…Look up at the sky…Oh yeah…”

Soon, the song was played.

Baodeng Zheli breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time he heard Lenai beside him also let out a loud sigh.

Just as he was about to say something, a burst of sparse applause interrupted his thoughts.

When I looked up, I saw that all the customers in the cafe, including the waitress, were applauding.

Lenai, my superman!

"Thank you, thank you..." Zheli greeted everyone calmly before turning around and looking at Lenai.

The girl seemed to be still immersed in the lingering rhythm. The strings had stopped, but the pick in her hand was still hanging on the strings.

Zhe Li did not bother her, but waited quietly for her to come out of the afterglow. When she looked at him with her big, round eyes, he smiled and said:

"Little Lenai is really amazing! Look, everyone is applauding you."
