It started with being hated by the girl in the band

Xiaoxiang, finally replied to my message!

It will be easy as long as they are willing to reply to my messages... Next, I can think of a way to rebuild Crychic!

Then I'll follow the plan I had thought of before and kick this guy Nakagawa Nobu first -

In an instant, my heart felt as if something sharp had pierced it, and my originally joyful mood instantly deflated like a deflated ball.

In particular, feeling the slight warmth from the kitten in my arms, my heart twitched painfully for some reason, as if expressing my dissatisfaction.

Take a deep breath.

...Nakagawa, you really helped me a lot.

Anyway, Xiaoxiang hasn't agreed to rebuild the band yet... let's wait until Xiaoxiang agrees?

Xiaoxiang... After Xiaoxiang agreed, there was Xiaomu! And Lixi and Xiaodeng!

Anyway, when everyone agrees, it will be too late to find a way to kick Zhonghe out, right? Anyway, I will definitely be the one who kicked out Zhonghe Xin's most determined vote.

We'll talk about it when the time comes.

As she thought this, Nagasaki Suyo pursed her lips, and the tingling sensation in her heart faded a little, and the feeling of happiness that had been lost and regained returned to her heart.

On the other side, Nakagawa Nobuyuki certainly didn't know what had happened, but it seemed that Nagasaki Motoyo on the opposite side seemed to have calmed down and did not send him any other messages.

It was Xiaoxiang who really helped, Zhonghe Xinxin couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

However, it seemed as if God was deliberately making things difficult for Nakagawa Nobuyuki and not letting him have a peaceful night. At this time, Shiina Tatsuki suddenly shared a link without any reason.

Before Nakagawa Nobuyuki could ask a question, Shiina Riki's message quickly popped into their chat box.

Shiina Tatsuki: I know you haven't read any composition books or anything...it will definitely be troublesome to teach you when the time comes.

Shiina Riki: This is the teaching video I watched at that time. Watch it carefully tonight! If Miss Rinrinko wants to test you tomorrow, I don’t care whether you can pass or not!

Finally, as if to prove the seriousness of his tone, Shiina Tatsuki also sent an emoticon of a serious-faced panda, although it only looks cute.

Toyokawa Shoko blinked and cast a rather puzzled look at Nakagawa Nobu, who was laughing dumbly. She pulled Nakagawa Nobu's arm and asked softly, "Nobu, are you learning to compose music?"

Hearing this, Nakagawa Nobuyuki did not intend to hide anything and nodded frankly: "One is to help Shiina cover... and the other is that I also want to form a band or something... because how should I put it..."

Nakagawa Nobuyuki pondered for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "...A band or something, it's like a community of shared destiny playing music together, right?"

Hearing such familiar words from Nakagawa Nobuyuki, Toyokawa Shoko's heart trembled as if struck by lightning.

An idea, like the vines produced by magic beans, quickly rushed into the sky.

"…If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask me."

Toyokawa Shoko leaned on Nakagawa Nobuyuki's shoulder with a slightly blushing face and reminded him softly.

At this moment, the [progress bar] that had not been seen for a long time, like a living thing eating something, gradually twisted and pulsated slowly in an unknown place.

Chapter 87 Because I will never forget the letter.

"You even brought clothes..."

Nakagawa Nobuyuki looked at Toyokawa Shoko, who was busy putting clothes on hangers in front of him, with a subtle expression.

"…You are not allowed to look at the rest."

Toyokawa Shoko blushed slightly and tried hard to cover up with her body the plain-colored underwear that she had not yet folded.

Since there is obviously no way to go back now, Toyokawa Shoko may need to stay with Nakagawa Nobuyuki tonight and even for quite some time in the future.

However, Toyokawa Shoko still stubbornly stated that she would share the rent and utilities with Nakagawa Nobuyuki while living here. If Nakagawa Nobuyuki did not agree to this plan, she would rather move out and find another place to live.

Nakagawa Nobuyuki was busy cleaning up the garbage in the room and preparing to throw away some unneeded things. On the other side, Toyokawa Shoko, who was also wearing a ponytail, took over the task of tidying up the room.

With the tacit cooperation of the two, the small room was swept clean quickly.

"It's easy to clean up with someone to help..."

Nakagawa Nobuyuki wiped the sweat from his head and sighed slightly.

"..."

Toyokawa Shoko didn't say anything, but just looked around with a satisfied smile at the house that the two of them had cleaned and built together.

At this time, Toyokawa Shoko seemed to remember something, gently tugged at Nakagawa Nobu's sleeve, and looked at Nakagawa Nobu with anticipation.

"...Xin, I want to see the man in black."

Nakagawa Nobuyuki was stunned when he heard this and looked back in surprise.

"Didn't you say you've seen it?"

Toyokawa Shoko pinched the ends of her hair and smiled gently, without any sense of guilt: "Because I watched it alone before, this time we have to watch it together."

Soon, the two turned off the lights and squeezed together on the old sofa to watch a movie.

Nakagawa Shinya hadn't watched any movies for a long time, and had forgotten most of the plot of Men in Black, so he enjoyed watching it quite a bit, and there was always a feeling that he could predict the future to a certain extent.

Toyokawa Shoko leaned comfortably on Nakagawa Nobu's shoulder. It had been a long time since she had watched a movie so relaxingly. At least for the time being, she didn't have to think about her part-time job, water and electricity bills, gas bills, rent... nor did she have to think about that bastard father.

All of this made me, who used to be exhausted and depressed, feel unimaginably at ease, as if all the grievances and unhappiness had been sucked away by something.

...Because, I have faith by my side.

...How can I repay you?

What should I do if I become so weak again because of this?

Suddenly, as if she thought of something, Toyokawa Shoko raised her head and looked with her bright eyes at Nakagawa Nobuyuki who was watching the movie intently.

"Xin, tell me, if you were photographed like this, would you forget me?"

Poking Nakagawa Nobuyuki's arm, Toyokawa Shoko leaned close to Nakagawa Nobuyuki's ear and asked in a low voice. Her warm breath passed over his ear, and Nakagawa Nobuyuki got goose bumps all over his body.

"No... it's impossible no matter how you think about it..."

Nakagawa Nobuyuki shrank his shoulders and complained subconsciously, but before he could finish, Toyokawa Shoko, who obviously misunderstood, tilted her face and replied softly.

"...That's good. I won't forget the letter either."

No, what I want to say is that it is obviously unreasonable to lose memory after being exposed to light. At least this situation can only be caused by being hit by a car.

However, looking at Toyokawa Shoko with pink earlobes, Nakagawa Nobuyuki still realized that now was probably not a good time to complain about this.

When Toyokawa Shoko came back to her senses from the movie, the subtitles had already been rolling on the old TV for a while... half an hour, it was so fast.

"How was the movie?"

Nakagawa Nobuyuki was leaning against the window and sending tweets. Through the reflection of the glass, he saw Toyokawa Shoko, who had just come to her senses.

“…It looks good.”

Toyokawa Shoko sat on the sofa with her knees hugged, her ivory-white legs illuminated by the moonlight, pressed together. With an inexplicable look in her eyes, she looked at Nakagawa Nobuyuki who was also in the moonlight.

I don't know if he is talking about the movie or about Nakagawa Nobuyuki.

“As long as it looks good.”

Nakagawa Nobuyuki responded to Toyokawa Shoko with a slight smile, and habitually stretched his arm out of the window to enjoy the evening breeze.

At this point in the middle of the night, the night breeze outside the window has begun to cool.

There was silence.

"Xin, you said before that you wanted to form a band."

Suddenly, Toyokawa Shoko asked softly, stirring her fingers together anxiously and expectantly.

"...Yes, although it sounds like the motivation is a bit utilitarian - because bands and the like, not only can you make friends, but there are many campus bands that make a lot of money from this."

Nakagawa Shin sighed and laughed, making no effort to hide his impure and somewhat excessive motives.

Rather than pursuing the so-called "free-spirited music", the heavy gravity of reality forced him, with nothing in his hands, to consider a more basic issue - eating.

I vaguely remember a popular joke that a guitarist made money from music for the first time in his career by renting out his guitar.

Don't laugh, it's hundreds or thousands of yen a day.

I thought that the former Crychic keyboard lady behind me would deny my overly utilitarian thoughts, but unexpectedly, Xiangzi just smiled slightly.

Slowly walking behind Nakagawa Nobuyuki, Toyokawa Shoko leaned gently on his back.

Standing back to back like this, Toyokawa Shoko's clear voice reached Nakagawa Nobuyuki's ears.

"...If you want to make money from the band, you need to [do your best], okay?"

"I thought you would think what I said was a bit too... utilitarian."

Nakagawa Nobuyuki pulled his mouth and shook his head, then casually posted some unimportant daily events of the day on Twitter.

It can't be said that it is insignificant.

[The Myth of Sisyphus: Maybe I've been with bands for too long, and I always thought, maybe it would be nice to form a band myself? Anyway, there are all kinds of bands at the places where I work part-time. ]

After clicking send on the message he had previously edited, Nakagawa Nobuyuki put down his phone.

The two of them were still standing back to back.

"It's not wrong to be realistic."

Toyokawa Shoko folded her fingers in front of her, and a light smile appeared on her face, which was far from what she said. It was as shining and gentle as the moonlight outside the window.

The gravity of reality is too heavy, just like the seemingly untouchable moonlight is just the moon reflecting the light of the sun, and even the moon itself is dragged by the gravity of the earth, and the earth is also dragged by the sun.

...Therefore, ideals will naturally be dragged down by the gravity of reality and fall to the ground and become shattered.

Bands that still exist under such social production relations are no exception.

"...Yeah, that's right."

Nakagawa Nobuyuki was stunned for a moment, then nodded as if he had telepathically understood.

half an hour.

"... Xiangzi, isn't it a bit too much of a light novel to talk about this kind of thing standing under the moon like this?"

"…Xin, please don't ruin this shojo manga-like atmosphere."

Chapter 88: The difficult mask to maintain.

It’s a quarter to one in the morning, 3:45 am.

Suddenly I felt something wrapped around my neck.

Nakagawa Nobuyuki opened his eyes and looked at the moon outside the window. It was indeed Toyokawa Shoko's white arm stretched out to him. Now Toyokawa Shoko was hanging on him tightly like a sleepy koala.

...his saliva was all over his clothes.

Nakagawa Nobuyuki originally wanted to struggle to get out, but the more he struggled, the more Toyokawa Shoko frowned and hugged him tighter.

"Woo... Xin, you're pressing my hair."

A dreamlike whisper escaped from Xiangzi's pink lips.

Forget it, let’s just sleep like this. It’s not the first time anyway.

Nakagawa Nobuyuki closed his eyes again with an expressionless face.

Two hours later, it was 3:45 in the morning.

Perhaps it was because of the chirping of cicadas in the summer night, or the air conditioning was too cold, but the half-asleep Toyokawa Shoko's eyelashes moved slightly and her eyes opened a little.

Suddenly I felt that I was sleeping in a solid and soft place. Although it sounds contradictory...but it is true.

...Wait, this is...Nobuyuki's chest.

Toyokawa Shoko's face instantly turned red, but she had no intention of leaving. Instead, she tilted her ear and gently placed it against the chest of Nakagawa Nobuyuki who was already fast asleep.

Boom, boom, boom, boom...

A powerful and regular rhythmic sound came to my ears...but my heartbeat began to speed up and become irregular.

Subconsciously, she twisted her body and squeezed deeper into Xin's arms.

Fortunately, Xin slept soundly and didn't wake up.
