Gravity Girl Shining

(lyrics)

Release, guide, be attracted to the heartbeat.

Stay true to yourself, breathe steadily, that's all.

Day after day of life, become a part of us.

Deeply etched in the same beat, ahhhh.

Live in the present moment, wait for each other, and return at any time...

In music.

……

Takamatsu Hideki hates separation and she doesn't want to see the band fall apart again.

This time, with Uehara Hibiki as his spiritual support, Deng also had enough courage to write his own lyrics.

Shiina Riki felt a sharp pain in her chest. She put down the notebook and passed it to Aine, her voice softening unconsciously.

"It's not the light's fault."

Then she glared at Uehara Hibiki.

"It's all this philandering bastard's fault!"

Uehara Hibiki raised his hands in surrender, but smiled without any regret.

"but……"

Deng looked up, a determined glint in his eyes. "I believe that Hibiki can make everyone happy. Just like... just like music connects us all."

"It's not that easy."

Su Shi interrupted again, still with that cold attitude.

"Love is not a game."

Just looking at the notebook that Aine handed over, after losing the shadow of Crychic, Nagasaki Suyo looked directly at the lyrics of Deng for the first time and then became immersed in it.

……

(lyrics)

If somewhere, there is something precious.

I will be afraid of losing.

Not wanting to be bound by others.

……

These lyrics are exactly about me.

Lenai suddenly hugged Su Shi's waist from behind.

"Su Shi is also scared."

"Let go!" Su Shi struggled frantically, trying to break free from the cat girl's grasp, tidying up her messy hair and trying to change the subject.

Well, if this keeps going on, I won’t have to practice today. The LIVE is almost here, and I need to make up for all the practice I slacked off on before.”

An irrefutable argument.

After going through a series of emotional problems, everyone finally remembered that they were in a band.

Then everyone took their positions.

Sunlight streamed through the windows onto the practice room floor, stretching the shadows of the five girls and one boy. A faint electric hum emanated from the speakers, and the drumsticks twirled in Lixi's fingers.

But this time, it was not her who started it first. Li Xi gave the opportunity to Uehara Hibiki.

This was a memorable occasion, the band's first rehearsal after the crisis.

"MyGO's LIVE preview, first song, Star Call."

Uehara Hibiki pressed the keys. "Begin!"

As the first note sounded, all the embarrassment, hesitation and uneasiness were temporarily thrown behind.

The clear sound of the keyboard sounded first, followed by Aiyin's slightly awkward but passionate guitar, and Su Shi's bass calmly laid the rhythmic foundation.

Lenai's guitar is like a free cat, jumping flexibly throughout, and finally Lixi's powerful drum beats perfectly connect all the sounds together.

Deng stood before the microphone, her grey eyes slightly closed. As the first line of the song sang from her lips, the whole room lit up as if by magic.

Her voice is clear and transparent, yet contains incredible power, like sunlight penetrating the clouds and illuminating everyone's heart.

Then, in this room full of music and sunshine, they only need to focus on one thing——

Let the rhythm of your heartbeat resonate with the beat of the music.

Li Xi's drumsticks drew graceful arcs in the air, and sweat trickled down her forehead. She could feel Uehara Hibiki's gaze on her over the keyboard. But she no longer avoided it. Instead, she met his gaze, a provocative smile curling her lips.

Sushi's bass suddenly became stronger, as if she was expressing something. Her long brown hair swayed with the rhythm, and her eyes flashed with a complex light. She didn't dare to look at Uehara Hibiki, but a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

Aine's smile shone brightly as the light sang. She played a wrong chord but continued with a smile, unconcerned. No longer constrained by her so-called position, she turned around, looked at Uehara Hibiki, and even blew her a kiss during the interlude.

Rakuna's short silver hair flew as she played passionately, and the smile on her face shone with pure joy. The cat twirled, her entire body, along with her guitar, twirled before the microphone. Uehara Hibiki could only catch a fleeting glimpse of those heterochromatic eyes, the anticipation and satisfaction they held within.

So, Uehara Hibiki quickened his movements.

The music score was no longer followed and a small part of the track was changed temporarily.

His keyboard sound is like a golden thread, perfectly weaving everyone's voice together, and then responding to the magical singing of Deng.

Uehara Hibiki's gaze lingered on everyone, and the emotion in his eyes was called love.

When the last note fell, the practice room was so quiet that only the sound of each other's breathing could be heard.

Then, someone laughed first, and then everyone laughed. The laughter was like another beautiful piece of music.

"How does it feel?"

"Perfect, it will definitely be a huge success at LIVE."

"Then let's go to the next one! Night of the Wolf!"

……

During the break in practice, seeing Deng panting, Uehara Hibiki, as before, took the initiative to ask to go outside to buy drinks.

But when he came back, he brought back another piece of news.

"Overtime?"

Shiina Riki frowned.

"That's right. Rinrinko-senpai just contacted me about the live schedule. One band was absent due to something, so they had a half-hour free, but neither Poppin' Party nor Afterglow had any spare time. We can't find any other replacement bands right now. After all, there's only a little over a week left, and even if a new band were to come in, they might not be ready in time."

"So you're pinning your hopes on us?"

Shiina Riki was familiar with the internal arrangements of RING. Although this kind of thing was not common, there was precedent.

However, with this, plus the originally scheduled duration and rest time, it exceeded a full hour, almost catching up with the two main bands Poppin' Party and Afterglow.

Rinrinko-senpai really trusts MyGO, even though it’s a band that’s performing on stage for the first time.

"Originally, Rinrinko-senpai only wanted to give us ten minutes, the time for one song, but I convinced her to give us all the time."

Well, it was because of someone.

Shiina Riki looked at Uehara Hibiki and felt a fire in her chest.

"Yes, this is an opportunity for our debut to spark enough discussion."

The corners of Uehara Hibiki's mouth showed uncontrollable ambition and arrogance.

At the home of Poppin’ Party and Afterglow, they announced to the audience that the third main band of this LIVE had arrived.

"It's fun. Keep going!"

Maomao's opinions are concise and to the point.

"But then, we'd have to add songs, right?"

Aiyin realized it later, and as the least technically proficient member of the band, this was a big problem.

The original plan was to have three original songs: "The Stars Are Calling," "Wolf Night," and "Blue Sky Companion." Now the length has doubled, and if the MC section is compressed, three more songs can be squeezed in.

"I can't play the Kasuga Shadow."

Very good, with Su Shi's words, another choice was blocked. But Uehara Hibiki was happy that she could speak the truth.

"Haruhi Kage won't be playing. Our LIVE will be all original songs. Since everyone is already familiar with the three songs by Mixing, let's continue writing new songs."

Since he had already decided to take a big gamble, Uehara Hibiki would naturally continue to increase his bets.

"I already have the lyrics for 'Life Saving', and most of the Shadow Dance is already written. There's another one..."

Uehara Hibiki glanced at Suyo, then winked at Deng. The girl then found another brand new notebook with new lyrics on it.

"I originally planned to give it to you as your birthday present in three days, Su Shi, but it's not bad to receive the gift in advance."

Nagasaki Suyo took the notes in surprise.

The name of the song is, Wheel of Rain.

Chapter 92 I will never forget...

Nagasaki Suyo was stunned. She looked at the title on her notebook: "Wu Fu Yu." Her fingers gently stroked the three Chinese characters, and for a moment she didn't have the courage to read the lyrics below the title.

but.

The light's glare made her feel embarrassed.

……

(lyrics)

Replay those distant memories again and again (replay them several times).

Hovering on the edge of the scale, almost overflowing, ah ah, it's hard to calm down.

……

Just the first few lines make Nagasaki Suyo feel suffocated.

These words were more powerful than the words of rescue and hit her heart more directly.

The emotions swirling between the words evoked memories, reminding her of Xiangzi's last figure coming in the rain, the lights leaving silently in silence, the loud noise when Lixi slammed the door in the practice room, and Mu's almost inaudible words, "I've never been happy."

For the first time, Nagasaki Suyo understood what had once existed in Xiangzi's mouth, in Riki's mouth, and in Xiang's mouth.

The so-called cry of the soul.

In the past, Nagasaki Suyo was a good mother to the band.

But in fact, she didn't know anyone in the band, whether it was Crychic or MyGo.

This naturally included Deng. In the past, she couldn't understand Deng's "obscure" lyrics at all...

Or rather, pretending not to understand.

After all, those lyrics were never obscure or difficult to understand. Instead, they were overly straightforward, like a sharp blade that always pierced her heart.

So Nagasaki Suyo chose to forget, stubbornly remembering only the most beautiful moments of Crychic, and deliberately forgetting the determination in Xiangzi's eyes when he left, and deceiving herself into thinking that as long as she could convince Xiangzi, she could revive Crychic.

But in fact, it is still that classic evaluation.

In the past, Nagasaki Suyo had always been thinking only about herself.

His fingers subconsciously clenched the edge of the notebook, and the neat paper crumpled under his fingers, just like Nagasaki Suyo's tangled thoughts at the moment.

She recalled once again the time in Asukayama Park when Deng had given her a decisive and swift response to her provocative choice. And Deng's expression, as he hesitated repeatedly but couldn't form the words, thought those unspoken words might be in this notebook.

So, Nagasaki Suyo forced herself to turn her attention back to the lyrics.

Even though I struggled hard, the rain didn't stop.
