It started with being hated by the girl in the band

Chapter 125: I said that the [progress bar] has other uses.

So, when Toyokawa Shoko, who was a little nervous, was panicking about whether to agree or not, she saw Nakagawa Nobuyuki calmly taking out two composition books from his bag.

"So it's just composing music?"

Suddenly realizing that she had misunderstood something, Toyokawa Shoko's face turned red with embarrassment. She had to grab the hem of her skirt tightly and couldn't help but complain.

...I've been with Xin for so long that I've started to complain like Xin.

"What else could it be... At this hour, they can't be preparing for some mysterious ritual."

Nakagawa Nobuyuki looked at her strangely, not understanding why Toyokawa Shoko suddenly asked such a question, and complained in a subtle tone.

"…Think about it yourself."

Toyokawa Shoko sighed softly, feeling inexplicably tired. She blinked and looked at Nakagawa Nobuyuki, who had a simple yet strange expression in front of her. She suddenly felt that she had been thinking too much and was like a fool.

Not long after, his shoulders sank slightly. Nakagawa Nobuyuki, who was flipping through a book, blinked and subconsciously looked over his shoulder.

"… Shin, lean back and take a nap for a while."

Slightly adjusting her sitting position to make herself more comfortable, Toyokawa Shoko, with a slightly sleepy tone, just put on Nakagawa Nobu's coat and squeezed closer to Nakagawa Nobu.

"If there's any problem, just wake me up."

"…Xin, go to bed early too."

Although Nakagawa Nobuyuki made a few complaints like "So why don't you go to bed?", seeing that Toyokawa Shoko didn't seem to have any intention of moving, he reluctantly obeyed.

"... Next, it's——"

It has to be said that the threshold for music is not low. Although for ordinary people, Nakagawa Nobuyuki's memory is quite good, but in this regard, memory may not be that important.

Fortunately, many professional terms have annotations written by Tachikawa Shiina, which makes it easier to understand and at least not to be completely clueless.

Turning the mechanical pencil in his hand casually, Nakagawa Nobuyuki licked his dry lips gently, still flipping through the book seriously.

Time passed quickly, and Nakagawa Nobuyuki looked solemn and unaware.

It was not until the sound of a car's wheels suddenly passing by on the street that Nakagawa Nobuyuki, who was somewhat absent-minded, was brought back to the real world.

...I feel dizzy. What time is it now?

After a long yawn, Nakagawa Nobuyuki gently closed the book with a mechanical pencil, rubbed his eyes which were already sore in protest, and looked at the mobile phone beside him.

...can't be lit.

Nakagawa Nobuyuki pressed the power button again, which had become a little loose, but the result was the same.

Either the power was out, or this guy decided to go on strike and die in protest after being yelled at by Shiina today.

However, even if the mobile phone is not turned on, you can still see the time on the alarm clock on the bedside.

...It's almost three o'clock?

He frowned in disbelief and was slightly surprised, but Nakagawa Nobuya just thought that he might have been distracted halfway and didn't take it too seriously.

"... Xiangzi? Xiangzi?"

Shoko Toyokawa was gently shaken, still leaning on my shoulder, with a few drops of saliva slowly flowing from the corners of her mouth, sleeping peacefully.

"...?"

Also rubbing her eyes, Toyokawa Shoko tried hard to open her still sleepy eyes wide, and looked blankly at Nakagawa Nobuyuki who was sitting in front of her and was obviously not in good condition.

"It's late, Xiangzi, you should go to bed first."

Raising his hand, he wiped away the crystal from the corner of Toyokawa Shoko's mouth with toilet paper. Nakagawa Nobuyuki bit his tongue hard, trying to make himself look more alert and to clear his groggy and full brain.

I remember all these things very clearly, but I still can't put them together with my mind... It's too painful, this feeling.

...Why are you working so hard? You can just go to sleep. Besides, don't you have to go to class tomorrow? Isn't it not good for you to do this?

Although he asked himself this, Nakagawa Nobuyuki's butt seemed to have taken root and didn't move at all.

Perhaps she noticed the fatigue between Nakagawa Nobu's brows. Although she herself was not quite awake, Toyokawa Shoko still forced herself to cheer up and looked worriedly at Nakagawa Nobu, who seemed to be in a strange state.

"Letter, is that okay?"

"It's okay, just go to bed."

However, Nakagawa Nobuyuki had no intention of complying with such concern and just shook his head slightly.

"..."

Out of trust in Nakagawa Nobuyuki, although Toyokawa Shoko had such worries, she finally said nothing. She bit her lip slightly and walked towards the bed, looking back every few steps.

The cloudy moonlit night was not very bright, and it became even darker after the lights were turned off. It was so dark that Toyokawa Shoko could not see Nakagawa Nobuyuki's figure.

Nakagawa Nobuyuki didn't say anything like good night, but walked out the door with a desk lamp.

If there was a light on inside, Xiangzi would probably not be able to sleep... Nakagawa Nobuyuki excused himself for his heavy thoughts in his heart.

When the slightly cool wind outside the door blew on Nakagawa Nobuyuki, Nakagawa Nobuyuki finally understood his own obscure psychology.

...Nakagawa Nobuyuki, you are too troublesome.

Feeling uncomfortable inside, Nakagawa Nobuyuki slightly complained about himself in his heart.

The reason is very simple, the same reason why Nakagawa Nobuyuki couldn't sleep and couldn't put down the composition book at the moment.

After learning that Aine and her friends were going to hold a live performance during the summer vacation, I was actually a little restless. And this time, I knew that everyone who had ended the band would have a live performance this Friday...

…I am now terrified, afraid of the live performances of everyone in each band.

No, that's not quite right.

To be precise, I was a little afraid of being left behind.

Nakagawa Nobuyuki has never told anyone why he suddenly told Shiina that he wanted to learn composition.

The answer is actually quite simple.

Because this is the first time that Nakagawa Nobuyuki has met so many friends worth making, so many friendships worth maintaining, the first time in his life in the true sense of the word.

And, it’s all because of [the band].

But, at the same time, he also discovered that in everyone's [band], his identity seemed to be a... [BUG].

What role do I play in the band of Aiyin and Deng? Just a fan, right?

What about ending the band? I was just an outsider who introduced Ichiri to join, right?

What about Xiangzi? Although I want to form a band with Xiangzi, how can I help him?

That’s why he said he wanted to learn composing…he wanted to keep up with everyone else.

...Nakagawa, ah, Nakagawa.

What a heavy and troublesome thing.

Nakagawa Nobuyuki clicked his tongue twice and said with a self-deprecating tone.

Well, let’s change my mood first. Thinking about these things all the time...it’s too depressing.

Using his fingers to separate the gaps between the papers of the book, Nakagawa Nobuyuki sighed slightly, and with a thought, he summoned the [Progress Bar] that he had not seen for a long time.

Sure enough, today's progress bar is still full, and I don't know who contributed so much emotional energy this time.

Without bothering about his groggy head, Nakagawa Nobuyuki forced himself to concentrate, silently feeling the heat flowing into his palms.

But the difficulty this time seemed to be particularly great. Suddenly, Nakagawa Nobuyuki felt dizzy and his head began to hurt.

Fortunately, his other hand was quick enough to hold onto the railing, so he avoided falling to the ground.

However, after a while, the palm of his hand still did not have the touch of a formed entity, but the black parts of his fingers were glowing with a faint golden-pink glow, which was unexpectedly exceptionally gorgeous for a moment.

However, Nakagawa Nobuyuki had no mood to appreciate this thing at the moment, because his buzzing brain was about to explode.

...No, my head is buzzing. I have to stop.

Nakagawa Shin's forehead was bulging with veins, he was breathing heavily, big beads of sweat rolled down his head, and under the action of gravity, he hit the ground hard and shattered into a pool of water.

Zhonghe Xin took a deep breath, which slightly alleviated the feeling of headache, diverted his attention, and slowly opened his palms. Only a piece of gold powder scattered in the wind.

...Surprisingly, nothing was condensed.

It looked quite nice when illuminated by the golden-pink light that had not yet faded from her fingers, a bit like fireworks.

…The question is, where’s my money! ?

After wiping the sweat off his head, Nakagawa Nobuyuki felt cheated and couldn't help but want to call the consumer hotline to report the counterfeit and shoddy products in front of him.

Just like that, all my progress is wasted?! Just setting off a firework in my hand is the end of it?

I won't even mention the discomfort of the composing card. Today, even the money is gone.

...Wait, composing?

Nakagawa Nobuyuki blinked, feeling the items in his mind suddenly being categorized like those in a used bookstore, and the commonly used chords growing naturally.

Although the intense pain was still like a stone smashing into his brain, Nakagawa Nobuyuki still thought like this -

...If I remember correctly, all of this stuff was just a mess in my mind just now, right?

126

Chapter 126 You must be Harry Potter.

...Can't sleep.

It was dark in the room and dark outside the window.

...So lonely.

As soon as I closed my eyes, the scene of Xin looking at me, apparently a little tired but forcing himself to be alert, was replayed slowly like a movie.

My heart ached slightly...

Lying on the bed, Shoko Toyokawa's eyes flickered and she bit her thin lips lightly, silently feeling the uncomfortable tearing feeling.

It's obviously not a very big bed, and it's a bit crowded for two people to sleep on it. Theoretically, it would be more comfortable for me to sleep here alone.

...No, I have to go find the letter.

Xin obviously looks very uncomfortable right now... What's the point of me lying here selfishly?

Thinking of this, Toyokawa Shoko clenched her fists, frowned, and gently turned on the bedside lamp.

Looking at the two people's neat school uniforms hanging together on the wall, Toyokawa Shoko's heart ached even more. Suddenly, she quickened her pace and walked towards the old security door.

……

"call……"

Gasping for breath, Nakagawa Nobuyuki still hadn't fully recovered from the chaos. Although his brain's thinking function had almost recovered, his body still felt a little weak.

"This thing... can actually be used in this way...?"

Nakagawa Nobuyuki breathed in the precious air greedily, feeling the extremely rich knowledge flowing out of his brain, and muttered to himself in a daze.

Fortunately, the air is free, otherwise if I took such a deep breath, I would probably have to start collecting taxes from Mr. Kishida early on.

Fortunately, the progress bar doesn't charge me taxes... But because he's feeling very uncomfortable right now, the ungrateful Nakagawa Nobuyuki doesn't intend to praise this guy.

To be honest, Nakagawa Nobuyuki wasn't feeling very comfortable at the moment.

The brain is extremely clear and can easily call up a large number of memories, and the thinking ability is still clear.

But at the same time, there was something like an electric drill stirring madly in his brain, causing waves of pain.

His extremely clear brain and pain nerves were also working diligently, forcing Nakagawa Nobuyuki to grit his teeth and endure the pain.

pat.

A few drops of blood slid down from his nose and fell heavily on the pale floor.

"...If that's the case, it's...well...a good thing."

With a muffled groan and muttering to himself as if to divert his attention, Nakagawa Nobuyuki struggled to stand up and stretched out his trembling hand, trying to pick up the composition book that had fallen beside him.

But as soon as he picked it up and raised his body with all his strength, Nakagawa Nobuyuki met the eyes of Toyokawa Shoko, who had just opened the door and was standing there in a daze.

……
