Gravity Girl Shining

"You guy."

Lixi couldn't help but laugh, as the bass joke was common to the entire band.

"Then we'll add drum beats to rescue people back at the turn?"

"Look at what you said. With your participation in the composition, the drum beats never slow down. Besides, jokes about drummers aren't as widespread as jokes about bassists."

"Hmph! Focus on composing."

When the drummer joke was mentioned, Li Xi couldn't help but straighten his back and knock on the table.

Uehara Hibiki responded with a smile.

"Yes, yes, Master Shiina."

The girl glared at him, but didn't argue. The room fell silent again, leaving only the click of the mouse and the clacking of the keyboard. The two sounds intertwined in an unexpected harmony.

Just like their relationship—chaotic, complex, yet wonderfully balanced. Shiina Riki secretly glanced at Uehara Hibiki, who was concentrating on revising the music score, and suddenly felt that perhaps a day like this wasn't so bad after all.

……

"You've chosen this song? Great, then let's go ahead and start rehearsals tomorrow, and try to finish the streaming preview next month."

In the idol-only lounge of a certain agency, two idol girls finally relaxed after their agent left.

"Chuhua! I didn't expect you to actually give in."

The girl with medium-length brown hair hugged the other blonde girl, showing her signature sweet smile and acting coquettishly as usual.

"Okay, Mana, I'm not always that stubborn."

The currently popular idol group Sumimi, Hatsuka Mikado and Mana Junta, are having fun in their spare time at work.

As the five-time champion of the National Amateur Singing Competition, lead singer Mana Junta possesses singing skills that surpass those of ordinary professional contestants.

Sanjiao Chuhua is responsible for the lyrics, composition, backing vocals and guitar of all of Sumimi's songs. He can be said to be an all-round genius.

However, a person's energy is ultimately limited, especially for idol groups. They are not like bands that focus on music, and are involved in more businesses, such as radio dramas, fan meetings, variety shows, advertising shoots, etc.

The most common practice in the industry is, of course, to outsource the songs, leaving the idols to just sing. It's extremely rare for someone like Sanjiao Chuhua to handle everything themselves.

But today, she rarely gave in and was willing to use other people's music.

Sanjiao Chuhua picked up the music sheet in front of him and showed the perfect idol smile.

"Angel's Four-Leaf Clover, what a great song."

"Indeed, just by looking at the sheet music, I can feel the deep love! I wonder what the author was thinking when he created such a song."

Mana Junda looked at the music score and felt a little curious.

"I don't understand creativity, but I think he must have a very sweet love. It's really curious."

"Yeah, I think so too. So..."

Sankaku Hatsuka suddenly leaned over and made a seductive invitation to Junda Mana who was lying on the sofa.

"Would you like to come with me to look up this author? I happen to know him."

Chapter 94: The Three Musketeers of Hanasakigawa.

Hanasakigawa Girls' Academy is always happy.

After all, this is the center of the era of big girl bands. Although a certain Happy Superman has temporarily started a global charity tour and is not in school, the remaining students still adhere to the smiling principles she left behind.

But with the exception of Shiina Tatsuki, she has always been very serious and never smiles.

It wasn't until recently that she started smiling more often.

In the early morning classroom, Shiina Riki wore headphones, her fingers tapping rhythmically on her desk. Her smile was even more exaggerated than usual, and she tapped her toes lightly, as if she were performing a concert that only she could hear.

The sound of fingertips tapping on the desk coincided with the newly composed drum beats in their headphones. After quickly finishing the composition for "Wheel Rain" last night, Shiina Riki and Uehara Hibiki also rushed to create a life-saving Demo_V5. They planned to work on it separately at school today, then reconvene after school to discuss and revise it.

The joy of composing music, and... the joy of collaborating with Uehara Hibiki.

Shiina Riki was completely immersed in her own world. She didn't even notice the surprised looks from her classmates, let alone the look on Hachiman Kailing's face at the back door of the classroom, as if she had seen a ghost.

"How is this going?"

Hachiman Kailing was in doubt.

In her imagination, Shiina Riki shouldn't be like this now.

Through her observations over the past few days, Hachiman Kailing believed she had found sufficient evidence.

Shiina Tatsuki's boyfriend, Uehara Hibiki, is an absolute scumbag who dates multiple girls at the same time.

So, out of a sense of responsibility as a close friend, Hachiman Kailing revealed the truth to Shiina Riki last Saturday afternoon, hoping that she would be brave enough to leave that scumbag.

The scene at that time appeared in Hachiman Kailing's mind.

……

"Lixi, I have something important to tell you."

She held Lixi's schoolbag very seriously and stopped her from leaving.

"About Uehara Hibiki."

In the coffee shop, Hai Ling listed the "evidence" she had collected one by one.

She herself witnessed the intimate behavior of Uehara Hibiki and Toyokawa Shoko in the supermarket many times.

Mikado Hatsuka once accidentally saw Uehara Hibiki holding hands with a girl with short gray hair at the planetarium.

There is also an updated video of the internet celebrity "Miao Mengqin". At Shinobazu Pond in Ueno Zoo, Hibiki Uehara hugged a girl with long pink hair in his arms.

There is also a video circulating online of a couple at the Skytree. It mainly shows the two people at the top of the Skytree shouting to each other: "Chihaya Aine! I love you!!!" and "Uehara Hibiki, I love you too!!!"

The two even kissed afterwards.

The evidence is conclusive and proves that Uehara Hibiki is a scumbag who has multiple relationships at the same time.

Hachiman Kailing still remembers Riki's expression at that time - from shock to anger, and finally to a terrifying calmness.

"I see."

Shiina Riki said only this and then got up and left without even finishing his favorite coffee.

……

To be honest, given Li Xi's anger level at the time, beating the guy up would have been a normal outcome.

However, Saturday night, the entire day on Sunday, and then another night, there was no movement on the chat app. Yawata Kailing still hadn't received any results. Even when she couldn't help herself and sent Shiina Riki a message to ask about the results, she only received perfunctory responses like "I know," "It's okay," and "I'll tell you later."

Strange?

According to the development of the girls' comics, when something like this happened, Li Xi should first confront the scumbag, then have a big fight and break up with him completely, and finally cry bitterly while calling herself and asking her to help her forget everything.

And now, Shiina Riki, who should have been heartbroken, is actually happily playing air drums?

Doubts filled Hachiman Kailing's heart, so she couldn't help but walk into the classroom and, as usual, knocked on Shiina Riki's desk, just interrupting the drumbeats in her imagination.

"Are you in a good mood today?"

"what!"

Shiina Riki suddenly stopped his fingers and looked up at his friend.

"Hai Ling? Why are you suddenly..."

"Should I ask you this?"

Hachiman Kailing folded her arms across her chest and looked down at her friend condescendingly.

"What's going on with you?"

"What's going on?"

"Don't act stupid."

Hachiman Kailing lowered her voice.

"Are you just letting it go about Uehara Hibiki's matter?"

Shiina Riki's expression froze instantly, his eyes drifted to the window, and he subconsciously thought about how to dodge this question.

"Well... actually, I think... forget it, let's talk about it during lunch break."

Hachiman Kailing was about to ask more questions when the bell rang at an inopportune moment. Reluctantly, she returned to her seat and remained absent-minded throughout the entire class, occasionally glancing at Shiina Ritsuki in front of her.

This is so abnormal.

……

During lunch break, the two met on a bench next to the vending machine as usual. Shiina Riki handed Yawata Kailing a can of mandarin orange-flavored panda milk jelly drink while he drank black coffee.

"So what's going on?"

"nothing."

Shiina Riki was drinking black coffee, and his expression was still as cool as ever, and there was no sign that he was using "coffee" to relieve his sorrow.

But that, as always, is the biggest problem.

Fortunately, Hachiman Kailing is not the type to nag, so she plans to ask directly.

"Lixi, how are you and your boyfriend doing?"

"I haven't admitted that person is my boyfriend yet."

Although Shiina Riki was still as stubborn as ever, the blush on her face was real.

Blushed!

You actually blushed!

Hachiman Kailing felt a sudden heart attack. Her carefully planned "Operation to Save Her Best Friend" had failed? Had all her hard work for so many days been in vain?

"Li Xi, didn't you say that day that you wanted to confront him? Could it be that everything I told you was just a misunderstanding?"

"It's not a misunderstanding. Hailing, everything you said is true. That guy admitted it."

Shiina Riki drank the coffee in the can in one gulp, and the aluminum can made a slight creaking sound in her hand.

Hachiman Kailing clenched the drinks box, and the plastic packaging deformed in her hands.

"And then what? Did he apologize? Or did he just get away with it?"

"He apologized to me and I forgave him, that's all."

Shiina Riki concluded lightly, then threw the empty can accurately into the trash can three meters away.

No, no!

Can this be easily forgiven?

The drinks box in Hachiman Kailing's hand was suddenly subjected to a huge external force, causing it to deform significantly, squeezing out a few drops of tangerine-flavored drinks and splashing onto her school uniform skirt.

But Hachiman Kailing didn't bother to wipe it off. She just stared at Shiina Riki's face, afraid to miss any subtle change in his expression.

"You've forgiven him just like that? Did he agree to cut off ties with the others?"

"No, we..."

Shiina Riki hesitated for a moment, blushing in front of Hailing for the first time. Although it was very embarrassing to say such a thing, Hailing had helped him out of kindness in the first place, and no matter what, he had to give her an explanation.

"It's not necessary to go so far as to sever ties... After all, we're all bandmates. Hibiki and I have reached a consensus for now. If he continues to date other people... I'll just let him do as he pleases."

"what?"

Hachiman Hailing was greatly shocked, and then a terrible guess formed in Hailing's mind.

Although I don't think Shiina Riki is that kind of person, but.

"Lixi, is it true that you two are not dating?"

Hachiman Kailing asked cautiously.

"You guys are not cannons..."

"Hai Ling!"

Now it was Shiina Riki's turn to be hit.
