"Let your breathing become deep."

Although he stayed up all night until 5 a.m. and only slept for three hours afterward, Iura Hide was in excellent condition. Even if he couldn't reach 100 points, he could still reach 95 points.

That clean and gentle voice came through the monitor and instantly touched Hoshino Ai's ears.

A strange emotion welled up inside her, and her star-like purple eyes couldn't help but gleam with an unusual light.

Although in the original story she wanted to be an idol to gain everyone's love, it is undeniable that she also really enjoys singing.

She herself was unaware of this.

until

"How about it, want to give it a try?"

Back in the control room, Iura Hide didn't check the recording status. Instead, he immediately went to her and asked with a smile.

Chapter 84 Because of Love

"What? Try it? Me?"

"That's right, I once wrote a song for a female voice, and I think your voice is perfect for it."

Hoshino Ai's eyes widened in surprise, and it took her several seconds to come to her senses.

"No, I can't do it, I can't sing."

"How do you know you can't sing if you haven't even tried?"

“Eeheedo”

A look of confusion and helplessness flashed across Hoshino Ai's eyes; she didn't know how to refuse.

Seeing this, Iura Hide pressed on, saying, "Just think of it as singing in a karaoke bar; it's okay if you don't sing well~"

""

"Can I say I've never been to a karaoke bar?" Hoshino Ai couldn't help but mutter to herself.

Meanwhile, the shop manager, who had long, black, her hair styled in a princess style, but wore smoky makeup and large earrings, couldn't help but roll her eyes.

Do you turn a recording studio into a karaoke room?

If it weren't for Fukuzawa Yukichi's sake, she would have definitely kicked Iura Shu out.

"But this kid's songs are really good, they make me want to fall in love."

The smoky makeup shop manager shook her head vigorously, quickly sealing away those not-so-pleasant memories from her mind.

"Hey, it's all set up. Come over and listen to it!"

"Ok."

Hideaki Iura grabbed a pair of headphones and put them on Ai Hoshino's head without saying a word.

Of course, he didn't forget Boqi-chan either, and handed her a pair of headphones as well.

This instantly cheered up Boqi-chan, who had been looking dejected and muttering to herself that she felt superfluous. She was like a puppy whose tuft of hair on her head started shaking happily again at mealtime.

Five minutes later, satisfied with the result, Iura Hide saved it to a USB drive and his phone, and also sent a copy to Kitagawa Kaimu.

Inside the apartment, Kitagawa Kaimu, who had just finished reading "April" and was still somewhat unsatisfied, first curiously opened the file, then her eyes lit up quickly, and she happily saved it, before lying back on the bed and putting it on repeat.

Meanwhile, Iura Hide asked the shop manager for paper and pen, and under the curious gazes of the three, he quickly began to write on the paper.

First came a musical score, which Iura Hide wrote down and then handed to Pochi-chan.

Boqi-chan didn't think much of it at first, but when Iura Hide said that they were going to record soon, Boqi-chan panicked.

"I...I...I...I—"

"Hey, the melody of this song is very simple. I'm sure with Boqi-chan's skills, it'll be perfect~"

Before Bochi could even finish saying "I can't," Iura Hide smiled and gave her a gentle pat on the head.

As it turns out, this trick really works on Boqi-chan.

Boqi-chan instantly blushed as if she had been electrocuted, her face turning bright red, and a silly, meme-like grin spread across her face. Her previous tension and panic vanished without a trace.

"No problem! Senior, leave it to me!"

Boqi clenched her fists involuntarily, and for a moment she even overcame her original social anxiety.

After all, at this moment, she couldn't possibly see anyone else.

However, Hideaki Iura wasn't just fooling her; the melody of the song is indeed very simple.

Let alone a professional guitarist like Boqi, even an amateur like him could play it completely after familiarizing himself with it two or three times.

After all, it was Hoshino Ai's first time recording a song. Even though she is very talented, Iura Hide needed to build her confidence first. It was impossible to challenge her with a very difficult song right away.

So after thinking about it all the way on the subway, he finally chose Yuika's hit song "Because I Like It" from his previous life.

Because no physical record was released, the song's sales figures cannot be calculated, but it has received a very high number of streams.

Moreover, the accompaniment for this song only requires a guitar, and singing it is not difficult at all; all you need to do is have a sweet voice.

This song can also be sung as a duet between a man and a woman.

The male solo also sounds great, so he can teach Hoshino Ai to sing it in the simplest way—line by line.

"Senior, I'm ready!"

It has to be said that Xiao Gudu is really amazing for letting go of her nervousness and panic. Iura Shu had just finished writing the lyrics when Xiao Gudu was already able to play the entire piece smoothly without looking at the sheet music.

If this memory were used for studying, she would at least be a top student.

"Let's give it a try."

Hideaki Iura led the two into the recording studio.

At this moment, the usually socially awkward and lonely girl looked very confident, whereas Hoshino Ai, who was incredibly confident and radiant in the original story, was so nervous that her hands and feet were stiff.

"Dumb tape, this song is even simpler than 'Rolling Acorns'~"

As he spoke, Iura Hide gave her a gentle pat on the head.

As it turns out, this trick not only works on Pochi-chan, but also on Hoshino Ai, who lacked love since childhood and desperately longed to be loved.

Although Hoshino Ai didn't immediately turn into a meme like Pochi-chan after being patted on the head, she still lowered her head shyly, feeling as if she were soaking in a warm hot spring. The nervousness she felt earlier was replaced by another feeling that she couldn't quite describe.

"It's about to begin!"

Iura Hide turned to Bochi-chan and made a gesture.

The soothing sound of a guitar then began.

"I didn't fall for you because you're handsome; I think you're handsome because I like you. Even if you're seen as an idiot, it doesn't matter, because you're in my heart."

The gentle voice blended perfectly with the soothing guitar sound, touching Hoshino Ai's heart deeply through her ears.

Compared to her previous song "I Want to Tell You," this song "Because I Like You" undoubtedly touched her more. She unconsciously looked up from her efforts to memorize the lyrics, stealing a glance at Iura Hide beside her, her eyes filled with adoration.

On the other hand, Pochi-chan wasn't much better off than her.

In the original story, when she first joined the Bond Band and performed on stage with Nijika Ijichi and the others, she would always be completely immersed in her own world due to her social anxiety, playing her own music and not hearing any other sounds at all.

But this time it's different.

With only Iura Hide in her eyes, her social anxiety naturally wouldn't flare up.

Or rather, at this moment, her world is not just about her alone, but about the two of them, Hideaki Iura.

So the lyrics also deeply touched her.

"Yeah, even if I'm treated like an idiot or a weirdo, it doesn't matter because I still have my senior. My senior is mine."

Boqi murmured to herself, and a strange light involuntarily shone in her azure eyes, as clear as a summer sky.

The female protagonist in Chapter 85

"I want to keep chatting with you on Line, I want to walk home with you after school, I want to see you even on my days off, I want to talk to you on the phone until I fall asleep, but I don't have the courage to do any of that. It's really awful."

I really hope you'll turn around, I really hope you'll notice me.

I really want to be your other half.

After playing one song, Boqi almost cried.

Because, in her eyes, these lyrics were a complete reflection of herself!

Whether it's chatting online or walking home together after school, aren't these things she's always wanted to do but never had the courage to do?

Most importantly, the first half of the lyrics describes a girl's crush on a boy, while the second half describes a boy who also has a crush on a girl.

What does this mean?!

What does it mean! ?

"Could it be that my senior actually likes me too!?"

"I didn't fall for you because you're cute; I find you cute because I like you. Even if you're seen as an idiot, it's okay, because you're my heroine."

"Whoa! Is my senior going to confess his feelings to me?!"

"What to do, what to do, what to do—"

"I...I...I...how should I respond?!"

Boqi-chan's heart fluttered like a deer's, and even the tuft of hair on her head stood up straight!

To be fair, in terms of sheer imagination, Pochi is almost on par with Kasumigaoka Utaha.

However, despite her imaginings, her playing did not suffer any errors or interruptions.
