It started with being hated by the girl in the band

"It's okay if you want to have two cups, Senior! Just let me take more pictures."

Kita Ikuyo opened her starry eyes, her clear amber pupils were full of joy, and her expectant expression was like a shining little sun as she looked at Yamada Ryo who was holding a cup of parfait in each hand.

"Oh, if Kita wants to take a photo, the charge is one cup of parfait."

Yamada Ryo extended a finger expressionlessly.

"Senior is the best——"

Nakagawa Nobuyuki turned his head slightly, feeling a little reluctant to see Kita-san, the completely confident girl, who was being tricked by Keiliang, so he could only look at Goto Ichiri who had just recovered.

"Yili, is the [Pink ○ Claw plus pearl milk tea plus instant social extract crystals and chocolate cake mixed energy drink] that I specially prepared delicious?"

Nakagawa Nobuyuki wiped the cup with a normal look on his face, and his mouth made crackling sounds like beans being poured out of a bamboo tube. He easily managed to pronounce the entire latte with a strange name in one breath.

"Don't remember something like this so quickly... and it's just a latte..."

Ijichi Kouka was too lazy to complain about Nakagawa Nobuyuki, who would become very erratic whenever he met Yamada Ryo. At this moment, she was supporting her chin and sipping her lemonade.

"By the way, are you all here at RiNG today to prepare for the Live?"

Nakagawa Nobuyuki pulled out a stool and sat down very relaxedly with Goto Ichiri, who was curled up with his head in his hands.

Because today is still a weekday, there are not many guests, so even if Nakagawa Xin is just taking a break and chatting with friends, there is no problem of not being able to entertain guests.

"Yeah, that's right... I just came here today to try out a new song, thanks to Pochi-chan for writing the lyrics..."

Although her tone was quite gentle, unfortunately, Ijichi Hongxia's subtle eyes betrayed her.

The reason is simple: Ijichi Kouka is now becoming more and more curious about the environment in which Goto Ichiri usually practices guitar.

What do you mean by [The dark and humid Starry is very similar to where I usually play guitar!]? That's too much - although it's true...

Goto Ichiri shuddered violently, as if he realized that covering his head would not prevent him from being hit.

"Original songs?"

Nakagawa Nobuyuki was stunned and automatically ignored the voice of "I am air, I am air..." that came into his ears. He subconsciously looked at Goto Ichiri who was curled up on the side, and suddenly a feeling of relief surged in his heart.

"Yili, can you show it to me?"

Suddenly, upon hearing these words, Goto Ichiri, who had just shrank, his pupils suddenly shrank and he raised his head abruptly.

I originally wanted to boldly reject Xin's request, but when I saw Xin's curious and gratified look, I couldn't say no anymore...

In the end, Goto Ichiri could only speak incomprehensible words with a panicked look on his face and slurred speech, and tremblingly took out the lyrics from the guitar bag behind him.

Just when Nakagawa Nobuyuki was about to take it, he found that Goto Ichiri was holding the notebook very tightly.

"...Xin-san, no, you can't turn from the front, the lyrics are at the back..."

Goto Ichiri's little hands tightly grasped the notebook in his hands, his head slightly lowered, and the tips of his ears were full of rosy color. If it weren't for the thick bangs blocking Nakagawa Nobuyuki's sight, Nakagawa Nobuyuki would have been able to see Goto Ichiri's little face, which was already full of blush and nervousness.

The reason is simple, because this so-called "lyrics book"... is actually the diary that Goto Ichiri uses to write his diary.

Because I suddenly got inspiration when I was writing my diary, I wrote the lyrics on the last page.

...If, if Xin starts from the front...

Goto Ichiri felt suffocated just by thinking about the extremely embarrassing love words and mumblings he wrote in his diary if they were read by the real person.

And there are those short stories with myself and Nobuyuki as the male and female protagonists... If, if someone saw them, I would definitely be regarded as a super scary nympho and stay away from her, right?

Although... although the lyrics were written while thinking of Nobu-kun in my heart... but compared to these, it's already much better!

"If Yili doesn't want to, I definitely won't start turning from the front."

Nakagawa Nobuyuki smiled softly, reached out and stroked Goto Ichiri's lowered little head, his eyes filled with caring eyes like the ocean, as if he was looking at his own sister.

"Wow, Nakagawa's expression is so disgusting, I'm almost jealous."

Ryo Yamada, who was eating a parfait with a large piece of cream on his face, complained expressionlessly.

"Don't talk while you're eating your parfait!"

Hongxia raised her eyes and glared at Yamada Ryo in front of her.

Chapter 95: Such a heavy river...

"…I'm sorry, Nobu-san…"

Goto Ichiri closed his eyes lightly, feeling the slight warmth from Nakagawa Nobuyuki's palm passing through his hair. He could only lower his head helplessly and apologize in a stammering voice.

At this moment, Goto Ichiri's little heart was being severely tortured by the self in his heart holding the whip called "conscience".

Nobuyuki...he has such a great character, but I actually looked at him from such a despicable perspective...it's an unforgivable sin!

Thinking of this, Goto Ichiri seemed to have made up his mind. He bit his teeth lightly and pushed the lyrics book in his hand into Nakagawa Nobuyuki's hands.

"Although my writing is very ordinary, it is a great honor for His Highness Xin to have the honor of reading it. If there are any mistakes you want to point out, please point them out to such an arrogant person like me without mercy!"

"Uh... that's a bit exaggerated... but thank you anyway, Ichiri."

Nakagawa Shin shook his head with a smile on his face, but he was used to Ichiri like this, so he just gently took the lyrics book from Goto Ichiri.

"No, no way! I am obviously the one..."

As he spoke, he felt the warm palm suddenly leave his head, and Goto Ichiri hurriedly raised his panicked eyes to look at Nakagawa Nobuyuki who was flipping through the notebook in front of him.

“[Guitar, Loneliness and Blue Planet], is that the song title?”

Nakagawa Nobuyuki's fingers stroked the tightly-sealed cover of the notebook, and an unconscious tenderness appeared in his eyes.

"...Yes! Because...I thought of it when I was playing guitar...and..."

"What else?"

"Ah, no... nothing..."

Goto Ichiri nodded vigorously like a frightened little animal, his blushing face lowered even more, and he swallowed back the second half of the words he was about to say.

Xin, Xin, as soon as my classmate asked a question... my mouth seemed to be disobedient and wanted to say it... Fortunately, I didn’t say it, otherwise there would be a big problem!

"How's it going? Little Pochi's lyrics are pretty good, right?"

On the side, Ijichi Hongxia supported her pretty face with her two white and tender legs stretched out, looking very relaxed. She looked at Nakagawa Shin who was looking down at the lyrics carefully with a smiling expression.

“…It’s amazing, like a poem.”

Nakagawa Nobuyuki gently stroked the first paragraph of the lyrics, just like he had gently stroked Goto Ichiri's little head just now.

"Yili, is this what you want to say in your heart?"

Suddenly, Goto Ichiri, who was lowering his head and fiddling with his fingers nervously, heard Nakagawa Nobuyuki's voice and looked up in a daze.

“…It’s so well written.”

Nakagawa Shin didn't look up, but seemed to be immersed in the world of lyrics, and admired in a low voice.

"…Huh? Actually, it's just average, right?"

When Goto Ichiri heard such a compliment, she shrank her shoulders a little embarrassedly, but the smile on her face completely betrayed her happiness.

However, when the girl looked up, she discovered Nakagawa Nobuyuki who looked in a trance, and immediately covered her mouth with her hand as she was laughing just now.

Xin, when classmate Xin was watching so intently, I actually made a sound to disturb him... This is simply, simply an unforgivable sin!

But...but Xin praised my writing skills...

Thinking of this, Goto Ichiri's face showed a somewhat happy expression again.

half an hour.

tick.

"…Huh? Wait, Nakagawa-san, what's wrong?"

Suddenly, Hong Xia's somewhat flustered voice came into Zhonghe Xin's ears.

Feeling strange, he was about to look up and ask Hong Xia what was wrong, but his vision seemed to be blocked by frosted glass and he could only see a blur.

What’s going on? I remember I’m not nearsighted.

"Why are you crying all of a sudden, Nakagawa?"

"If Hongxia bullies you, I will use the Pong of my bass to break Hongxia's drumsticks."

Miss Yamada, who was standing nearby, had already leaned over and stood next to Nakagawa Nobuyuki, with her arms lightly resting on the table in front of her. She handed over the toilet paper she had won in the lottery, but she still looked indifferent.

"No, how could it be possible that I was bullying Nakagawa-san?"

After taking the toilet paper from Miss Yamada's hand and wiping the tears from his eyes, Nakagawa Shinnosuke let out a long sigh of emotion.

"Yili wrote this word so well, so touching."

As he spoke, Nakagawa Nobumasa looked at Goto Ichiri with a satisfied look on his face.

"Really? The voice in my heart is so sincere that it's almost too sincere."

While expressing his feelings, Nakagawa Nobuyuki patted Goto Ichiri's petite shoulder.

"Eh……?"

Why, why are you praising me all of a sudden again... Isn't it because what I wrote was so ugly that even my classmate who was speaking in a gentle and sarcastic way couldn't bear to read it and shed tears?

Looking at the somewhat timid look in Goto Ichiri's eyes, Nakagawa Nobuyuki, who was very familiar with Goto Ichiri, just smiled.

"No, it's well written... ."

He gently closed the lyrics book and handed it to Goto Ichiri who was still a little dazed. After confirming that Goto Ichiri had held it firmly, Nakagawa Nobuyuki stood up as if nothing had happened and looked at Hongxia and Liang who were looking at him with concern.

"If you want to form a band for [lifetime], then let me be your fan for [lifetime]. To be honest, it would be a shame if I didn't support you for life."

After saying this, he didn't care about the crowd's reactions. He just stated a basic fact. After saying this, Nakagawa Nobuyuki walked back to the counter with a refreshed look on his face.

"…I feel like the lyrics have touched Nakagawa-san a lot?"

Ijichi Hongxia stood there, still a little unresponsive, and muttered to herself in a daze.

"…Now someone should come and complain about what Nakagawa said which was very heavy."

Ms. Yamada looked expressionlessly at Ijichi Nikka, who used to be the one making the comments.

"That's not the case! Liang, now that you've finished your parfait, get ready to start practicing!"

After being called out, Ijichi Hongxia came to her senses and looked at Yamada Ryo angrily.

"Okay - if you want to practice, our practice room is here!"

At this time, everyone saw Kita, who had just run to various places in RiNG to take pictures and had disappeared for a long time, and was waving happily at everyone.

On the way to the practice room, Goto Ichiri, with a slightly red face, listened to the noisy people around him without any reaction. Even RiNG's liveliness seemed to have disappeared.

She just held the lyrics book tightly in her hands, and gently stroked her chipped nails with her fingertips with thin calluses. The corners of her mouth drew a beautiful and happy arc, and even her steps couldn't help but become a little lighter.

Mr. Xin, you probably didn’t understand what the lyrics were about.

Hehehe...how lucky!

Those brilliant, shining words.

Those words that cannot be expressed in words or come out of your mouth.

Those words that I have thought of a thousand times and ten thousand times and want you to listen to.

I can only tell you this way.

I am such a cunning and heavy person, with a lonely shadow that can only be more than ten meters long under the street light. I wonder if I have conveyed these words to you?

Chapter 96…Want to join the band, Mu?

After watching the band members enter the recording studio, Nakagawa Nobuyuki was still immersed in the lyrics of the song.

"What will Ms. Yamada's song be like... Tsk, I should have asked you earlier. I'm actually looking forward to it now."

Muttering to himself, leaning over the counter, casually twirling the ballpoint pen in his hand, Nakagawa Nobuyuki sighed softly, looking a little regretful.

"What to expect."

Suddenly, a somewhat plain and crisp sound rang in Zhonghe Xin's ears.
