Comet Dragon, breaking into the gravity field

More than ten minutes ago, he heard the conversation between the two people behind him about him - even if he didn't deliberately eavesdrop, his ears would automatically record the information for him.

But what he didn't expect was that this girl who looked tough was actually surprisingly easy to communicate with.

Hachiman Kailing, who is a classmate of Shiina Riki, is completely different from a part-time worker who hurried to the recording studio and was not present.

The two of them exchanged pleasantries quickly, and noticing the notebook on the table, Hachiman Kailing took the opportunity to ask, "Are you writing a song?"

"I just wrote the lyrics. After all, I don't have the initiative like Li Xi to teach myself how to compose music."

"She's studying composition?"

Upon hearing the unexpected information, Hachiman Kailing was a little surprised at first, and then looked strange: "So... she composed the music just for the lyrics for you..."

"But that's not the case." Ritsu Naruse always felt that the other party seemed to be particularly concerned about his relationship with Shiina Riki, and that the relationship always tended to develop in that direction.

"Excuse me, aren't you and her a couple?"

"...?"

There is no way to know where this cool sister came to this conclusion, but judging from her face... she doesn't look like the kind of gossipy person.

"The cool-faced rock 'n' roll expert sitting next to me in the cafe gossiping with me" - isn't the style of this painting a bit off?

Euphemistically suggesting that her accusation was imposing a stereotype, Naruse Ritsu paused, seemingly giving Hachiman Kailing time to gather her thoughts, before continuing:

"Because the lyrics are based on the work of another member of the band, it wouldn't be appropriate for Li Xi to compose the music."

"I see."

As if getting to know the young man all over again, Hachiman Kailing looked him up and down and confirmed, "It seems you have a good relationship with her."

It's more than good, it feels like it will turn into a very exciting stage if you are not careful.

When thinking about the chain of consequences that might be triggered, Ritsu Narose felt like he was about to press the self-destruct button with his own hands.

"I'm sorry, I rarely have the opportunity to hear about this kind of thing, so I was a little curious for a moment." Hachiman Kailing immediately apologized when she noticed the strangeness on Naruse Ritsu's face and mistakenly thought that she had caused the other party's unhappiness.

"It doesn't matter. After all, it's not a big deal." Shaking his head, Mingse Ritsu suddenly realized that a certain question in his mind was suitable to be asked to the legendary mercenary in front of him at this moment.

"By the way, Hachiman-san, do you know where I can find someone who can compose music?"

Upon hearing this question, Hachiman Kailing was slightly stunned, and quickly summed up the answer based on her experience accumulated from working in different bands.

"If you want to find music composers, just search for them on relevant forums or boards. There are often music studios or individual composers there."

"Also, you can go to places like music schools and related trading platforms to find people willing to take on composing tasks."

Although it was just their first meeting, the two of them unexpectedly got along well and quickly became familiar with each other.

On the one hand, it comes from Ritsu Narose's thirst for knowledge, and on the other hand, it comes from the contrast that Hachiman Kairin feels is caused by the fact that Ritsu Narose is far from the image she expected.

Following the guidance of Hachiman Daibosatsu, Ritsu Narose soon found the website as she described.

After quickly registering and logging in, and changing her default profile picture to her most personal Moai statue, Ritsu Narose stepped into this online space where current idols, veteran bands, and various music giants often hang out.

A website recommended by industry experts must have gathered many experts from all over the world!

"If you don't mind, can you add me as a friend?"

"of course can."

Seeing that there was finally someone she could talk to on her Instagram friend list besides the panda head, Hachiman Kairin expressed her sincere gratitude to Naruse Ritsu.

"Hachiman-san, you've given me new insights. I should be the one thanking you."

"You don't have to be so polite. If you can, just call me Hai Ling."

After exchanging polite greetings, Ritsu Narose continued to click on the phone screen.

Although he has not yet found a composition he likes, the various big news exposed on the forum really suits his taste.

The two-timing lead singer was hit by a trash can on his head after the show; the guitarist tried to play guitar with his teeth to pay tribute to the legend, but was hit in the face by the strings; the bassist started his live performance and no one could hear him...

So happy.

However, Ritsu Narose, who was busy eating the melon, did not realize that she was also a big round melon in the eyes of others.

Silently drinking the orange-flavored drink in her hand, Hachiman Kailing, who had been observing him, made up her mind.

110. Cucumber is also a melon

When Ritsu Narose walked into the recording studio, Tachibana Shiina was hurriedly explaining the key points of the music score to Chihaya Aine and Kaname Runa.

However, everyone present knew that there was only one person who really needed to memorize all this information.

Chihaya Aine, who was in charge of the guitar accompaniment, stood here with a childlike smile on her face, the kind of innocent smile that only a first-grade elementary school student could show.

She understood what Shiina Riki said, but she also didn't understand it.

Anyone who has been to school knows that things that are often understood at first glance can never be understood just by listening.

When Tatsuki Shiina, who was forced to leave his post, ran back to the cafe in a hurry, Ritsu Naruse had time to say hello to everyone in the recording studio.

"Keep doing your best today too."

Her tone was gentle, just like the mascots in those pay-to-win games who would slap the sign-in board on the players' faces every day, making them shed tears of humiliation but having to go online to weed and punch in.

"That's too much! I asked Riki for advice so seriously, but he just put on a sour face!" Chihaya Aine puffed up her face angrily and kept glancing at Narose Ritsu, as if to indicate something.

"Hmm..." Feeling this gaze, but not wanting to join Chihaya Aine in angrily criticizing Shiina Ritsuki's horrific methods, Naruse Ritsu just wanted to get through this stage.

"From today until the end of practice tomorrow, I won't talk to her anymore—what do you think of this, Naruse-kun?"

"Ignoring people who hate you won't make others like you more." He replied habitually, but Naruse Ritsu found that Chihaya Aine instantly looked at him with a droopy face.

"Uh... I mean, she might not care too much about it."

I have to add one more thing, but Chihaya Aine's gaze became even more piercing, as if he had done something to wrong her.

"When did Naruse-kun and Riki become so close?"

“Of course, when Aine doesn’t know.”

Almost choking on these words, Chihaya Aine held the guitar hanging in front of her with both hands and said in shock, "Naruze-kun, you've changed! You wouldn't talk to me like this before."

"Is there? I don't know what it means."

"Yes!"

“Well, rather than worrying about such trivial matters, Aine should focus on her training. You don’t want to be pressured by Riki anymore, do you?”

Faced with this ironclad reality, Chihaya Aine could only show an expression of reluctance but having to do as she was told, and continued to practice according to the music score in front of her.

And Kaname Lenai, who usually does whatever she wants, is now standing there obediently, practicing with a happy look on her face.

At the same time, he continued to put pressure on Chihaya Aine on the other side.

As for Ritsu Narose, he was sitting in the corner with Touma Takamatsu, who had no work schedule today.

One of them silently recited the lyrics he had written to avoid embarrassing situations such as forgetting the lyrics when performing on stage; the other posted a topic thread on the forum to recruit composers, and then continued to gallop in the melon field full of treasures.

"By the way, if Aine is free tonight, you can come to my house."

After saying this casually, Naruse Ritsu continued to scroll through his phone. It wasn't until more than ten seconds later that he realized the guitar music that served as background music had suddenly stopped.

When he looked up, he saw Chihaya Aine's flushed face, and...

Nagasaki Suyo appeared at the door without anyone noticing.

Her smiling expression seemed kind, but her right hand, which was tightly gripping the strap of her violin case, undoubtedly revealed that her mood at the moment was far from as calm as it seemed.

As if she had noticed something, Kaname Rakuna walked over and sat down next to Ritsu Narose, and naturally took out the matcha dumplings that he had kindly provided and started eating them.

On the other side, Takamatsu Deng held the open notebook in front of her mouth, trying to minimize her presence. Her amber eyes were filled with confusion, as if she didn't understand what was going on.

No one spoke first. The only sound in the recording studio was the sound of snack bags colliding with each other as Yaro Lenai flipped through the snacks.

"No practice?"

Breaking the silence, Ritsu Narose looked at Nagasaki Suyo openly, without any panic on her face.

"That's right, isn't it practice time now? Lenai-chan, stop eating and keep practicing!"

Seeing Naruse Ritsu taking the initiative to help her out, Chihaya Aine quickly seized the opportunity. She didn't care if Lenna's guitar skills were to surpass hers by a wide margin, but she had to get past Nagasaki Suyo first!

Without saying much, Nagasaki Suyo just glared at Naruse Ritsu while the others were moving, and then took out her bass as usual and started her check-in task.

No extra practice, but no laziness either - always maintaining an average level, there is nothing to blame, but there are no advantages worth praising either.

This is the attitude that Nagasaki Suyo always holds when practicing.

Naruse Ritsu naturally knew why Nagasaki Suyo did this, and it was not difficult to guess why she was late today.

It's nothing more than still holding on to the hope of reuniting the previous band and continuing to do those useless things.

If Ritsu Naruse's relationship with her wasn't that good—like Shiina Riki's, for example—he could have just expressed his thoughts directly, instead of having to wait and see based on their closer stance as he was doing now.

While checking the results of Takamatsu Touma's efforts today with a notebook like a teacher checking elementary school students' recitation of poetry, Narose Ritsu used his mobile phone to check how much time was left until the live, silently estimating whether the girls' practice progress was enough to leave them with some room for improvement.

Suddenly, a notification appeared at the top of the phone screen, indicating that the recruitment thread he had posted on the forum had received a reply.

It is worthy of being the place where the stars of humanity shine. I didn’t expect that someone would take the initiative to recommend themselves so soon.

Once again, he thanked Hachiman Daibosho for showing him the way. Ritsu Naruse clicked on the forum with great anticipation, wanting to know which expert would succumb to his financial offensive and let him experience the happiness brought by being the first party.

However, the content of the reply from the user whose avatar was a Q-version cucumber was slightly different from what he had expected.

What does it mean that “she contacted the composer and after communication she handed over the work on his behalf”?

Where did this agent come from?

Unable to figure out whether there was something wrong with the other party or whether he was new here and didn't understand the rules, Ritsu Narose had no choice but to chat with the other party privately and ask if the composer she introduced had any works that he could appreciate.

It is well known that geniuses often have eccentric tempers. As long as the quality of their work is excellent, everything can be negotiated.

At this moment, in another cafe in Tokyo, a girl with a delicate and lovely face was sitting alone by the window, looking at the mobile phone screen in front of her with an expressionless face.

When the ice cubes in the glass of mango juice on the table made a slight clinking sound as they melted, she, who had been motionless like a doll, finally tapped the screen and sent the reply she had typed.

111. Quantitative change leads to qualitative change

Standing in front of the sink, Chihaya Aine kept fiddling with her bangs, but couldn't find the most satisfactory angle.

Thinking silently, she soon came up with a brilliant idea.

She ran back to the bedroom and took out the gift she had carefully kept from the drawer. She then returned to the mirror and put on the black headband that Ritsu Naruse had given her before.

Seeing the bow on it slightly curled up, showing its magnificence, Chihaya Aine nodded with satisfaction.

it is good!energetic!

She returned to the living room, picked up the piano case on the table, opened the door with anticipation, and walked quickly towards the house not far away that was emitting warm lights.

Behind her was her father with a blank expression and her mother who was wondering when to cook red bean rice.

He actually took the initiative to invite her... Could it be that he had something important to say to her?

Thinking of this, Chihaya Aine's mood suddenly became cheerful. However, when she stood at the entrance and saw two other unfamiliar pairs of pink slippers lying aside, the smile on her face disappeared without a trace.

"My friends stayed at my house yesterday, but they're going out tonight and probably don't plan to come back."

When one person is playing a game, the other person watching next to him will definitely point fingers and make comments - and the two ancient dragons mocking each other will never stop their fight.

Unable to bear the nagging of the Big Talker, Melo and Vera ran to the internet cafe early in the morning to play duo-queuing, vowing to climb from zero points to compete with each other and push the one who was holding them back into the bottomless abyss of shame.

It was precisely because he knew clearly that the two troublesome guys were not here that Mingse Ritsu took the initiative to extend the invitation.

Putting the improved training equipment aside, he told us about his plans for additional training in the future.

"Eh~ Is this considered taking advantage of the situation?" Although she said this, Chihaya Aine's eager action still revealed her inner expectations.

"Through repeated training, muscles will develop memory. I think this is not much different from normal training." As he spoke, Ritsu Narose took out his prepared plan and outlined his general plan.

"One set, six times. First, practice four sets of Aine's favorite chords. Then, practice the sheet music prepared for the live. First, follow the movements calibrated with the device to get a feel for it. After practicing three times, remove the device and practice twice on your own, correcting any mistakes..."

Seeing the expression on Chihaya Aine's face gradually stiffen, like a reef beaten by the sea and eroded by the warm wind, Naruse Ritsu chose to temporarily drop the topic and took out another gift he had prepared.

"If you don't mind, could you please take this pick?"

"oh oh……"

Taking the pick, she saw at first glance four letters engraved on the front of this bright silver triangular pick.

——A, N, O, N.
