[Eh? What's going on? Teacher Daxiang actually came to visit my house. Am I dreaming?]

Toyokawa Shoko turned around and smiled, "Mr. Tenna, is it okay if I just take off my shoes and go in?"

"Ah... Of course, please take a seat, Ms. Toyokawa."

Tian Nalin invited the girl to sit down and poured her a drink as a treat for the guests.

Toyokawa Shoko took the cup and held it in her palm. She looked around the simple and clean room and asked, "Mr. Tenna, do you live alone?"

"Yeah, something happened at home a while ago, so I moved here."

"Mr. Na must have worked really hard that day."

"It's okay..."

The two exchanged a few pleasantries. Toyokawa Shoko looked down at the introductory music theory book on the table with a surprised expression and said, "Mr. Tenna, are you teaching yourself music theory?"

"Yes, I plan to be a music producer."

"Oh? Mr. Tianna, why do you have such thoughts? Could you please tell me?"

Tian Nalin immediately realized this was a good opportunity and dragged out the words he had prepared, "It's like this, I was moved by a band's performance before, but I don't have any performing talent myself, so I wanted to accompany the band as a producer."

At the same time, he thought to himself: "It's a pity that Teacher Daxiang will never be able to return to Dengbao and the others. Otherwise, I really want to listen to the keyboard version of "Spring Shadow" again."

When she heard Deng's name, Toyokawa Shoko's eyes darkened. She finally understood why the other party knew her. It turned out that he was a fan of Crychic.

But didn’t Crychic disband? Why would this person still have the idea of ​​becoming a producer? Did Deng and the others reunite as a band recently?

So she smiled and continued, "Thank you, Mr. Tianna, for telling me. I wonder which band impressed you. I'm very curious about it."

Faced with the girl's continuous questioning, no matter how slow Tian Nalin was, he felt that something was wrong.

[Strange, when did Teacher Daxiang become so nosy? He comes to my house asking questions and caring about a grown man's affairs. This is unreasonable...]

He looked at the blue-haired girl in front of him and replied with a suspicious look: "Nothing, just an ordinary underground band, it doesn't even have a name."

Hearing the former's doubtful voice, Toyokawa Shoko realized that she had acted too hastily and that she should have investigated the matter slowly.

"I see. My apologies." She placed the cup on the table, slowly stood up, and said, "Excuse me, Mr. Tianna. I have to go to school. Thank you for your hospitality."

"Miss Fengchuan, please take care. You are welcome to come and visit us again next time when you are free." Tian Nalin also stood up to see her off.

Toyokawa Shoko turned around and smiled, "If Mr. Tenna doesn't mind, I'll come again."

After saying this, she bowed gracefully and left the rental house.

Tian Nalin stared blankly at the girl's back, then looked at the rice balls she had made on the table, and an idea popped into his mind.

Teacher Daxiang...

Could it be that you have fallen in love with me?

------

Time passed slowly and soon the weekend came.

Tian Nalin got a precious day off and finally had time to do something for himself.

He stayed at home in the morning, using his "photographic memory" benefit to memorize the basic music theory book he had almost learned from beginning to end, and copied a song he had seen before into sheet music. He also transferred the prepared accompaniment to his mobile phone, which would be of great use later.

In the afternoon, Tian Nalin went out to visit several other live houses in the Bang Bang project. Unfortunately, he was unlucky and did not meet the characters of the seven girl bands. He only met Ms. Marina, the manager of CIRCLE.

It was not until he walked along the cherry blossom-covered street and arrived at the Edogawa Musical Instruments Store that he met Hanazono Tae, nicknamed "Part-time Worker".

This is a tall and beautiful girl with long flowing dark black hair. She has a cheerful and optimistic personality, and her style of doing things is very electric. She is a rabbit lover and serves as the guitarist of Poppin'Party.

We are no strangers to this character, Tennarin. It is said that Hanazono Tae once tried to play the guitar with her teeth, and ended up sending herself to the dental clinic she feared the most.

Just kidding~

At this time, Huayuan Duohui also noticed him coming in, walked out of the counter and greeted him, "Welcome, would you like an introduction?"

Tian Nalin waved his hand and said, "Don't bother this lady. I just want to check the price so that I can deposit money."

"Oh~! What musical instrument is the customer going to buy?" Huayuan Duohui blinked, and her light green pupils revealed a natural aura.

"Emm..." Tian Nalin looked at the electric guitar first. After all, no boy can refuse a cool and handsome guitar.

But for the sake of the future of the band, Tian Nalin forced himself to shift his gaze towards the electronic organ. He did not expect to replace the position left for Xiangzi by MyGO, but at least he wanted to be able to provide occasional backstage support.

Hua Yuan Duo Hui tilted her head in confusion and asked, "Guest, you obviously like guitar, why did you buy an electronic keyboard?"

"Ahaha, as expected of Otea, you actually asked directly."

Tian Nalin complained in his heart and explained the reason briefly.

"Is that so...you are so gentle, sir. You are willing to sacrifice your hobbies for your friends." Huayuan Duohui said frankly.

Upon hearing this, Tian Nalin felt a little ashamed. It was obviously just his wishful thinking and he hadn't even joined the band yet.

"It's not as good as you said, Miss. I'm just taking a look and haven't really made a decision yet."

"Well, if you need anything, please feel free to tell me."

"Okay, thank you, Miss."

Chapter 9 Chance Encounter

After a quick stroll through the music store, Tian Nalin bought some souvenirs and small gifts, and asked for an autograph from Hanazono Duohui before heading to the place where the Bon Bon characters often gathered:

"Yamabuki-cho Jizo-dori Shopping Street"

There are many shops here that are familiar to people in the Korean circle, such as Yuze Coffee Shop, Yamabuki Bakery, Kitazawa Meat House, Lucky Burger Shop, etc., and there are many related stories with the other 7 bands.

Soon after arriving, Tian Nalin met Kitazawa Ikumi, the bassist of Hello Happy World, one of the seven bands. She was selling croquettes in her own Kitazawa Fine Meat Restaurant, and the aroma could be smelled across most of the street.

He went up and bought one. The croquette, which was half the size of his palm, only cost 86 yen (tax included). It was filled with onions, potatoes and meat. It tasted crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The more you chewed, the more delicious it became. No wonder someone has been eating it since he was a child and never gets tired of it.

Then Tennalin bought two matcha spiral breads at Yamabuki Bakery. When he was checking out, he met Yamabuki Saya, who also remembered him and gave him a small bag of cookies as a gift.

"Thank you, Miss Yamabuki." Tian Nalin was flattered.

"You're welcome, Mr. Tenna. Actually, Riki-chan has been wanting to apologize to you ever since that day. If you have time, could you please come over?"

"No problem, I'm going to watch a live show later."

"That's great." Yamabuki Saya smiled warmly.

After bidding farewell to the former, Tian Nalin happily walked out of the bakery holding the bag, his face full of joy.

"It's truly blissful to travel through a normal, two-dimensional world."

After sighing, Tian Nalin walked into the most popular Yuze Coffee Shop to taste the drinks there.

This is a small shop with wooden decoration. Since it was afternoon tea time, the shop was crowded and there were few empty seats left.

Tsugumi Hanezawa, the owner's daughter and keyboardist for Afterglow, noticed this and came over to say, "Welcome, sir! I'm so sorry, we don't have any private tables anymore."

"It's okay. If space is tight, I can pack it up." Tian Nalin politely listed the drinks he had already considered.

But the next moment, he noticed a blue-haired girl in casual clothes.

At this time, the other person was sitting upright next to the double seat by the window, with an empty seat opposite.

【Teacher Daxiang, why are you here again? 】

Tian Nalin was quite surprised. He felt that he had been seeing the other party more frequently recently. It seemed that they always met in some unexpected places.

Shoko Toyokawa, who was tasting black tea, heard a familiar voice and looked towards the door. Their eyes met in the air, and there was surprise in each other's eyes.

Seeing this, Tian Nalin took the initiative to step forward and greeted: "Good afternoon, Miss Fengchuan. I didn't expect to meet you here."

"Hello Mr. Tenna, what a coincidence." If Toyokawa Shoko couldn't hear Tenna Lin's thoughts, she would almost think that the latter was following her again.

Seeing this, Tsugumi Yuzawa knew that the two were quite familiar with each other, so she smiled and suggested, "Since you two know each other, why don't you share a table?"

"That's fine with me. Does Ms. Toyokawa mind?"

Toyokawa Shoko stood up and held out her hand. "Mr. Tianna, please take a seat. I have something I want to discuss with you."

【Huh? Why did Teacher Daxiang want to see me?】

With such doubts, Tian Nalin responded: "In that case, please help me change these dishes to dine-in, Ms. Yuze."

"Okay, please wait a moment." Tsugumi Yuzawa bowed slightly and left.

Toyokawa Shoko, who sat back with them, sighed silently. Recently, she found that she had gradually become accustomed to the strange name "Teacher Daxiang".

Tian Nalin on the opposite side didn't think too much about it. He just picked a topic to start chatting.

"Ms. Toyokawa, are you having afternoon tea?"

"Well, the drinks here are very good. I come here occasionally to try them. What about you, Mr. Tianna?"

"My purpose isn't very simple. I heard that several members of a girl band are working here, so I came to ask for an autograph or something." Tian Nalin told the truth.

"I was surprised that Mr. Tianna likes girl bands so much."

"Yes, what about you, Ms. Toyokawa? Do you have any favorite bands?"

"Morfonica, the girl band from Tsuki no Mori, do you know about that, Mr. Tenna?"

"I know a little bit. It's said that Morfonica is a rock band with a violin, a girl group that combines dreamy colors with the elegance of butterflies. Their leader, Futaba Chikushi, works part-time here, but it doesn't seem like she's on duty today."

[Of course I know what bands Daxiang-sensei likes. Wasn't it because you saw the Butterfly Band's performance at the Music Festival that you decided to form Crychic?]

"Mr. Tenna seems to know everyone very well." A strange light flashed in Toyokawa Shoko's amber pupils.

"I just happen to know the information about this band. I don't follow many bands at the moment." Tian Nalin said truthfully. If you really asked him to mention some other bands, he really couldn't name one.

"Really? Is Mr. Tianna doing well on his path to becoming a music producer?" Shoko Toyokawa began to lead the conversation.

In fact, after a period of investigation, she asked the landlady about Tian Nalin's background. The latter's parents died in an accident a few months ago, and there were no other relatives to help the family. He lived alone and his situation was even worse than hers.

To be honest, Xiangzi admired Tian Nalin's tenacity, which enabled him to overcome such a huge setback in life, establish his dreams again, and work hard for them optimistically and positively.

So she has temporarily accepted the "mutually beneficial" plan in her heart, but she has not yet figured out how to start it.

Tian Nalin, who was sitting opposite him, was also worried about how to bring up the topic. When he heard the other party bring it up, he raised a few of the doubts he had encountered when recreating the song.

After hearing his explanation of the difficulties, Toyokawa Shoko nodded in understanding. "Mr. Tenna, you're struggling with your lack of knowledge of music theory, and can't express what's on your mind, right? It's like having a gorgeous painting in your head but being unable to paint it."

"Yes! Miss Toyokawa, your description is so accurate."

Teacher Daxiang is amazing. He saw my problem right away.

Toyokawa Shoko drank the black tea with both hands in a standard manner to cover up the curve of her mouth.

"In that case, Mr. Tianna, have you ever considered enrolling in relevant training courses?"

"I've certainly considered it, but my needs are quite specific, so I'd rather hire a music theory tutor." Tian Nalin looked expectant. "Ms. Fengchuan, do you know anyone who's a professional in this field?"

"I'd like to ask Mr. Tianna a question first. Do you mind if someone younger than you can be your teacher?"

"I don't mind, because I believe that there is no order in learning, and the one who has achieved success is the teacher."

"Mr. Tenna is really open-minded." Toyokawa Shoko finally figured out why the other party called her Teacher Daxiang. It turned out that it was a recognition of her professional ability.

So she continued, "I happen to know a friend who has very solid professional knowledge in this area. If Mr. Tianna is interested, I can put you in touch with her."

Tian Nalin was stunned when he heard this, and immediately understood that this was a signal that the other party was willing to agree, and he was overjoyed.

[Great! Teacher Daxiang loves me~]

On the surface, Tian Nalin still maintained a polite appearance, "Really? Then Miss Fengchuan, thank you for your help. How about I pay for this meal as a return gift for the rice balls that day?"

"Thank you, Mr. Tianna." A beautiful blush appeared on Toyokawa Shoko's cheeks. In her opinion, this was already a gift for becoming a disciple.

After reaching a consensus, the two smiled at each other, and the atmosphere between them became more harmonious and relaxed.

But at this moment, outside on the shopping street.

A well-developed woman with long brown hair who looked like a college student was slowly approaching Yuze Coffee Shop.

Fate gradually becomes unpredictable.

Chapter 10 Cutting

At 5 pm, the sun gradually sets.

Nagasaki Suyo was walking aimlessly on the street as usual.

Since Crychic disbanded, she often visits the places where the band used to hang out, hoping to run into Toyokawa Shoko and have a deep chat with her.
