UIKA: Just the two of us.
This time the reply was quick:
Tomori: Yeah.
Sanjiao Chuxia put down her phone and let out a sigh.
………………
The streets after the rain were shining with a damp sheen. Sanjiao Hatsuka stood outside the Yuze Cafe and pushed the door open, causing the crisp sound of wind chimes.
He looked around the cafe and saw Takamatsu Deng sitting in a corner with a green notebook on the table in front of him.
After Sanka Hatsuka placed her order with Wakamiya Eve, she walked towards Takamatsu Touma's seat and gently sat down in front of her.
"Little lamp."
"!!!"
Gao Songdeng's head shot up like a fertilized animal. When she realized it was Mikami Hatsuka, she relaxed a little, but still looked a little uneasy.
"Sorry, have you waited for a long time?"
"No..." She shook her head slightly, "I just got out of school..."
Gao Songdeng's fingers unconsciously stroked the edge of the notebook, a few drops of rain staining the pale green cover. She quietly raised her eyes to look at Sanjiao Chuxia, then quickly lowered her head.
"Chu Xia...what would you like to drink..."
"It's already been ordered." He smiled and pointed at the counter. "Ms. Wakamiya will bring it over in a while."
"Um……"
Gao Songdeng seemed to want to say something, but hesitated and did not open his mouth, which made Sanjiao Hatsuka temporarily give up the idea of asking directly and waited quietly.
Silence stretched between the two of them. Water droplets dripped from the eaves outside the window, leaving winding traces on the glass.
"Um..." The girl suddenly spoke, her voice as light as a feather, "notebook..."
She pushed the notebook to the center of the table and opened it to a page. There was almost no correction on the page, and instead of a title, the date was written at the top.
That's not the lyrics.
"I...actually, I can't write lyrics." Gao Songdeng's fingers gently slid across the paper, his voice as soft as a mosquito's. "These are...my diary..."
"journal?"
Sanjiao Chuxia couldn't help but hold her breath and read the contents written on the page:
“I just told myself there’s no place for me here, no place where I belong.
Convinced that I wanted to leave and go somewhere else, I consoled myself with this
............"
"Xiaoxiang, she used my diary as lyrics..."
What she meant was probably that she actually didn't know how to write lyrics and might not be able to help Sanjiao Chuxia in this regard.
But that's not necessarily the case. The simple-minded Takamatsu Deng might just want to tell him about this.
Sanjiao Chuxia's eyes fell on the childish handwriting in the diary. Through those broken sentences, she seemed to see a lonely figure who was out of tune with others.
"So those lyrics in 'Spring Shadow'..."
"Hmm." Gao Songdeng's fingers gently traced the edge of the paper. "These are all... my inner feelings..."
(I see……)
Now he finally understood why the emotions contained in Takamatsu Tomo's lyrics were so strong, and why Takamatsu Tomo's lyrics were called "the cry of the heart" by Toyokawa Shoko.
(No, not only that.)
Mikado Hatsuka noticed that Takamatsu Touma was "different from ordinary people" when he was in [Crychic], and he later asked Shiina Tatsuki, Nagasaki Motoyo and Toyokawa Shoko.
Now that he had read this diary, he could probably understand what kind of person the other person was.
Her thinking and hobbies are somewhat different from those of ordinary people, which makes it difficult for her to understand others. From Takamatsu Deng's perspective, she is out of tune with everyone and therefore very lonely.
However, Takamatsu Deng, who became introverted and dared not express himself, placed his overflowing emotions in his diary, and then met Toyokawa Shoko by coincidence.
Shoko Toyokawa thought that the lyrics were written by her, so she composed the music for it without permission.
"Xiao Deng is a lyricist genius!" This is her evaluation.
Sanjiao Chuxia's gaze lingered on the diary for a long time. Those words were like a key, suddenly unlocking the lock of his creative bottleneck.
"Thank you, Xiao Deng." He said softly, "I think I know how to write it."
………………
ps: Xiaoxiang is a jerk for publicly executing someone else by singing their diary.
Chapter 192: Chuxia’s new song…who is it written for?
UIKA: Xiaodeng, are you free these days?
The phone screen lit up in the slightly dim room.
Gao Songdeng sat at her desk, her textbook spread out, probably studying for the upcoming final exam. She stared at the new message for a long time, her fingers hovering above the keyboard, not letting go.
"Early summer..."
She whispered the name, and the image of him always smiling and playing guitar appeared before her eyes. Since Crychic disbanded, they had hardly contacted each other alone.
The phone screen went dark, then she turned it back on.
Tomori: ...yes
Tomori: Hatsuka, what's going on?
New information quickly popped up. When Gao Songdeng saw the words "lyrics writer," his fingers trembled slightly.
(I formed a new band in early summer...)
Shiina Riki had mentioned this to her and even showed her a video of the performance. On the screen, Mikado Hatsuka sang and played guitar, even more dazzling than in Crychic, yet she felt strangely distant.
The pages of the textbook were slightly wrinkled.
Gao Songdeng turned his head and looked at the two notebooks on the shelf——
One was a notebook with a green background and red flowers on which she had written the lyrics of "Haruhi Shadow", and the other... was a starry sky notebook given to her by Mikado Hatsuka and Nagasaki Suyo.
"I... can't write lyrics at all."
If she really could write lyrics, why didn't she write down even a single lyric before Crychic disbanded, and why didn't she write it down in the notebook the two gave her?
Tomori: I'm not very good at teaching...
UIKA: It’s okay, I just want to listen to Xiao Deng’s ideas.
UIKA: Is that okay?
The news about the early summer of Sanjiao was like a tide, which made Gao Songdeng a little breathless.
She took the green notebook down from the shelf, flipped to the first few pages, and lightly traced the lyrics of "The Song of Wanting to Be Human" with her fingertips. These words, which Xiangzi called "lyrics", were actually just her mumblings to herself with no one to confide in.
(Should I agree?) Gao Songdeng hesitated.
She naturally wouldn't mind telling Sanjiao Chuxia her thoughts, but Gao Songdeng was worried that if she couldn't help him, he would be too disappointed.
Tomori: ...Okay.
After hesitating for a long time, she finally agreed.
"Explain everything clearly," this was what Sanjiao Chuxia taught her on the day when [Crychic] officially disbanded.
The next day after school, Gao Songdeng arrived at Yuze Café half an hour early. She chose a seat in the corner and repeatedly opened and closed her notebook.
“Little light.”
The familiar voice made her heart skip a beat.
Looking up and seeing that familiar face he hadn't seen in a long time, Takamatsu Deng felt much more at ease, just like when [Crychic] was still there...
"I...actually can't write lyrics. These are...my diary entries..." she confessed to Sanka Hatsuka.
"Thank you, Xiao Deng. I think I know how to write it now."
Although he didn't know why he suddenly knew it, Takamatsu Deng was very happy that he could help.
………………
"Thank you, Xiao Deng. I think I know how to write it now."
The joy of early summer in Triangle was clearly shown on their faces.
This was certainly not a lie he told to please Takamatsu Deng, but he really saw his own problems in her.
In order to write about the "bond" in his heart for everyone, Sanjiao Chuxia was too obsessed with expressing this extremely beautiful emotion in his heart, and instead could not write words or lyrics that would satisfy himself.
(Just like a diary, what you think and want to say are laid out in the lyrics.)
So, Sanjiao Chuxia pulled his lyric book from his bag, his pen lingering for a few seconds over the blank page. Raindrops snaked down the glass outside the window, reflected in his focused purple eyes.
Gao Songdeng quietly held the coffee cup, observing his slightly furrowed brow in the steamy air. She saw his pen tip suddenly drop, drawing a smooth arc on the page:
"Morning light swaying gently by the window"
君が梦るhengyanそっと见つめてた (I quietly stare at your sleeping profile)"
Maybe because the weather is quite humid, the ink seems to spread over a larger area on the paper.
His wrists moved faster and faster, sometimes he bit his lower lip to think briefly, sometimes he hummed a few syllables softly, completely immersed in his own world.
"The world is so cold sometimes"
でもA real man servant がいる (But it doesn’t matter as long as I am by your side)”
(This is what I want to write about…the “bond” I want to express.)
The tip of the pen rustled on the paper, and his triangular eyelashes cast a tiny shadow under the light. His left hand tapped the table unconsciously, as if even the general rhythm was emerging in his mind.
Tsugumi Hazawa came over with a tray, placing the coffee beside him without making any unnecessary noise. She smiled at Takamatsu Deng, who was sitting across from her, and returned to the bar.
"もしも君が米子になっても (Even if you lose your way one day)
I will find you no matter how far away I am.
......"
It wasn't clear how much time had passed, or perhaps it wasn't long at all, when Sanjiao Chuxia suddenly stopped writing and held the lyrics book up to his eyes, examining it carefully. His brows relaxed, and a smile of relief appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Sorry, I accidentally forgot you were still waiting." He closed the lyrics book, his voice filled with apology and excitement, "But thanks to Xiao Deng, it was a great help."
Sanjiao Chuxia picked up the already cold coffee and drank it without hesitation. The slightly bitter liquid slid down his throat, but it made him feel exceptionally clear-headed.
"I... didn't do anything..." Gao Songdeng said in a low voice, his eyes falling on his rolling Adam's apple.
“No, I wouldn’t be able to finish this song without the little lights.”
Sanjiao Chuxia put down the empty cup and carefully put the lyrics book into her bag.
Gao Songdeng's fingers gently stroked the notebook. She lowered her head and spoke in a voice so soft that it was almost inaudible:
"Who is Chuxia's new song for?"
"It's for Xiaochu and everyone at Personaction." His voice was gentle but firm. "Of course, this includes Xiaodeng and you too."
………………
P.S. I had no inspiration for some articles, and I was very sleepy at night, so I held it in for a long time before I came out QWQ
ps2: The lyrics are based on the theme song of Kamen Rider Beyond Generations "Promise" (sung by the protagonist before), and then generated by AI. I will make some minor changes and post them in full later (
Chapter 193: Rebuilding [Crychic]?
In fact, after Toyokawa Kiyoshi returned to work, if Toyokawa Shoko wanted to, she wouldn't even need to continue her part-time job.
Although he was kicked out of the Toyokawa family, Toyokawa Kiyoshi still had his abilities, and it didn't take him long to climb to the middle of the company. As long as he didn't spend money lavishly or went back to Tsukinomori to go to school, he hardly had to worry about money anymore.
