I'm here to form a band, what do you want to do!

Hong Xia nodded in satisfaction.

"You two." Ito Rin, who was expelled for her excellent skills, came over from the playground. "What are you doing here?"

Since our relationship has been getting better and better, calling her "senior sister" is no longer common, and now it has been upgraded to you two.

"We're discussing how to write you to death."

"..."

Ito Rin felt that the death star above her head was too bright.

He crossed his arms and looked at Hong Xia first: "It's just a reasonable way to exit. Don't talk about life and death or anything like that."

Under his gaze, Hongxia lifted the hair on her forehead and moved closer to Yamada Ryo beside her.

With her support, Yamada Ryo felt more confident, but he also had a different opinion: "Ito, you should be able to play the piano, right?"

“…No, don’t even think about asking me to be a keyboard player.”

Yamada Ryo looked at him calmly.

Lying again!

In the last simulation, this guy was famous for his piano skills. How could he not know anything at all?

Hong Xia next to her was also a little disappointed. Although what she said sounded nice, no matter how she looked at it, Ito Rin had more chances of actually joining their band.

"That's all, remember to ask Pochi-chan to send you the lyrics."

"Um……"

Ijichi Hongxia looked at the two of them and suddenly felt like an outsider. Not only was she unable to join in the conversation, it seemed like she wasn't even doing her job well.

Ito was busy writing the music, Yamada Ryo was responsible for writing the script, and Pochi-chan was responsible for the most troublesome lyrics. The only one who did not participate was Kita Ikuyo, whose level was the worst, so she only needed to practice guitar to complete the task.

Besides, she is the lead singer and needs to learn the new song in the shortest possible time.

Up to now, it is she, the captain, who seems to have been excluded from all activities and is just waiting foolishly for the heroine's task.

This won’t do. I can’t hold everyone back.

Ijichi Hongxia was feeling a little melancholy, and secretly made up her mind to buy some books and learn how to be a director when she returned.

She may encounter many problems, but she is not someone who is afraid of difficulties. In fact, if she had not been too confused, she would not have fallen behind to this extent.

The whole band was busy.

Ito Rin was busy with the school cultural festival, the band's movie shoot, and helping to write music. She was so busy that she didn't even have time to chat with Nagasaki Suyo.

A week passed like this, and in the blink of an eye it was the last weekend before the cultural festival.

The moon hangs high in the sky, its bright light falling on the tall buildings of the city. The lit neon lights add a magnificent veil to the pure white.

Lead singer Kita Ikuyo touched her throat and smiled with relief, while people around her were applauding.

"Very good." Ito Rin's applause continued. "The recording of 'If I Could Become a Constellation' is complete. The level is definitely good enough."

"Long live!" Kita Ikuyo, who had been singing this song for two consecutive days, raised her hands and shouted like a broad-minded politician.

"The rest of the time requires everyone to strengthen their cooperation. As long as the cultural festival doesn't happen..."

She wanted to say that it would be absolutely perfect if there were no problems, but she also felt that it was like a dream to expect everyone to have no problems at all, so Ito Rin simply stopped talking.

Everyone else was packing up, and even Pochi-chan, who lived the farthest away, stayed behind to practice. She was in a hurry to get back.

After watching them leave, Ito Rin rubbed his shoulders. Although he didn't perform on stage, he was still responsible for a lot of things. He asked Yamada Ryo, who hadn't left yet, "How's the script going?"

“I feel like it’s well written.”

"You feel... why do these words make people so uneasy?"

After getting to know Yamada Ryo, Ito Rin also understood the way she spoke.

If he was smiling evilly, no matter what, it would prove that nothing would go wrong, but now he looked so serious that it was really hard to trust him.

This may also be a manifestation of the strangeness of Yamada Ryo, which makes people love and hate him.

"You're dead." Yamada Ryo packed his schoolbag and walked out with him.

"The script is the script, but I don't care about such a small matter. What about the other things?"

“There will be a lot of female protagonists.”

"..."

What's going on? Didn't he throw away the simulator that would turn him into a scumbag?

Why does it look like it's back again?

Could it be that he abandoned her and was then stabbed to death by the heroine?

What if other people saw this? Ito Rin firmly objected.

"That's not right. I think there should only be one heroine." Ito Rin objected shamelessly.

"Hmm? Really?" Yamada Ryo's voice was ethereal on the dimly lit street. "I'm one of them too."

"What do you mean? Think about it, this music video is to promote our band, okay? If one of the members is a scumbag who abandons us after having sex, what will the others think?"

It's definitely not that Ito Rin has PTSD from this situation, but rather that she wants to end the band's image. Besides, Yamada-senpai, what do you mean by that seductive tone of yours?

Don't think I like you~

Even if there is a little bit, it has never developed to the point of being shown on the screen, and be careful that Hong Xia will cause trouble for you.

"That makes some sense, but the script is almost done, and I just can't muster the energy to revise it." Yamada Ryo said lazily.

"Then you have to change for me too. No matter how I die, at least I have to die with the image of pure love," he said.

At this point, life and death are no longer important.

"Oh, you have so many troubles." Yamada Ryo looked at him.

"please!"

……

After two busy weeks, Ito Rin suddenly relaxed and no longer had to think about simulations. When she woke up naturally in the morning, she rubbed her bangs on her forehead and looked at the bright sky outside the window. Her mood naturally became cheerful.

The cramped rental house cannot prevent Ito Rin from being open-minded. Even when he is rich enough, he will consider moving to a bigger apartment.

I opened the window and the cool air of the early morning hit me in the face, and the remaining tiredness disappeared.

Wash up and

Then I changed my clothes, prepared to go for my daily morning run, and picked up my phone.

The time was 6:10, and there was a text message from Yamada Ryo.

It was sent early yesterday morning, when he had already gone to bed.

He first complained about Ito Rin's unreasonable behavior, and then explained that time was tight. If he really wanted to make changes, he would have to put in some effort and go to her house to help in the morning.

The Yamada family's residential address is also attached below.

Ito Rin's memory is still quite clear. It was not a famous wealthy area.

The environment is much better than here or the bustling Shimokitazawa commercial district.

However, since Yamada Ryo took the initiative to invite her and his reason was reasonable, Ito Rin did not refuse and sent a message agreeing.

As expected, there was no response.

The two people's sleep and sleep schedules are perfectly matched. One goes to bed early at night and the other wakes up late in the morning, which means they are always with each other during the day.

"Thanks to the school, otherwise she would definitely stay up until three or four every night."

"It feels like Pa-chan, but at least Yamada Ryo's parents manage her and don't let her get too arrogant."

Ito Rin thought about it and decided to run at her home. She sat in the bedroom for half an hour, and when she felt the time was about right, she started running.

Even though I bought breakfast bread at a roadside store, I slowed down to let children pass first when I saw them crossing the road, and clapped my hands when I saw an early morning band performing on the roadside.

But no matter how he wasted time, when he finally arrived, the time on his phone was...

7:40.

Ito Rin nervously sent a message to Yamada Ryo, and just when she decided to call her to wake her up.

"Are you here to look for Xiaoliang?" Mrs. Yamada, who had just returned from buying breakfast, looked at the hesitant boy standing at her door.

The boy paused while dialing the phone, then turned around as if nothing had happened, bowed politely, and looked at the person in front of him who looked very similar to Yamada Ryo.

"Ah."

"She didn't tell me that friends were coming today," Mrs. Yamada said dissatisfiedly, adding regretfully, "She should have prepared more food."

"Auntie, I've had breakfast."

Mrs. Yamada looked him up and down.

Ito Rin looked puzzled and looked at herself.

Although it's clothes for running, it definitely fits the aesthetic of Tokyo residents.

"I'm not her mother, don't call me aunt," said Mrs. Yamada.

"Could it be my sister?" Ito Rin was reluctantly shocked.

He finally understood who had cultivated Yamada Ryo's strange personality.

"Oh, you've figured it out. Come in." Mrs. Yamada smiled happily at the reluctant flattery and welcomed him into her home.

The first time she came to the Yamada family, Ito Rin was shocked by the capitalists.

It is not an ordinary single-family house, but a real villa with a large lawn in the front yard and an avenue leading directly to the mansion in the middle.

When she pushed the door open, Mrs. Yamada finally remembered to ask other things.

"By the way, is he Xiaoliang's friend?"

...No, Auntie, you don’t even know this, and you actually let me in?

"Well, we're in the same band, the same school, and she asked me to come over and help last night."

"Oh, I see." Mrs. Yamada suddenly realized, but was a little disappointed.

The boy looked quite handsome. I originally thought he was taking my daughter out on a date, but it turned out that they were just ordinary friends.

This emotion was short-lived, and she cheered herself up.

Don't rush into anything. Even if you are in love, you should first transition from being friends.

"Should I help you wake her up? This kid doesn't want to get up at all after the holiday."

"It's okay." Ito Rin also felt that she came too early, so she didn't rush to ask her aunt to call Senior Yamada.

But her mother is really interesting. She always calls Yamada Ryo in a motherly tone and likes to act like an older sister.

"That won't work. Please wait a moment." Mrs. Yamada put down her things and walked upstairs in her slippers. Ito Rin could hear her knocking on the door.

"Xiaoliang, your friend is here to see you!"

……

Yamada Ryo rubbed his hair, staring blankly at the white ceiling above his head.

Hearing the knock on the door outside, I reached out from under the quilt, touched my phone, and saw a new message.

[Got it. I'll be there later.]

The time is 6:10.

No, is it necessary for you to come so early?

"Xiaoliang, don't sleep anymore, your friend is waiting for you downstairs."

"Hmm." He forced a sound through his nose to stop the knocking on the door. Yamada Ryo hugged the quilt and rolled around twice on the bed before he cleared his head.

She got up and changed her clothes. Although she was at home, Ito Rin was a boy, so she didn't choose a loose skirt, but more masculine trousers.

After combing her hair and washing her face in front of the mirror, her expression gradually became firm as she looked at her delicate cheeks in the mirror.

There are already enough loopholes, and today we must find a problem that is decisive enough.

Having made up my mind, I opened the door and walked out. At the stairs, I saw that Ito Rin was having a cheerful conversation with my mother.

After walking a few more steps and hearing their conversation, I suddenly didn't want to talk anymore.
