A world only known by the God of Lost Love

"No, I...I don't have the courage to ask, let alone listen."

Asking such private questions rashly can easily arouse the other party's resentment.

If the other person's ex-girlfriend is a woman who is so outstanding that she can't match her, she will definitely lose her confidence completely.

Before her mental strength is further enhanced...the only thing she can do is to drag her same-sex friends together to make various irresponsible speculations...

……

Speaking of which... because the situation was so urgent just now, she didn't even realize that she had taken the initiative to contact Kita Ikuyo so decisively after encountering such a thing.

If it were her before... she would definitely hesitate for a long time before sending a message.

This should be considered growth in a sense...

"Kita-san."

"kindness?"

"Although it may be a little late now, I think I still have to say this to you...Thank you for being willing to talk to me about this."

Goto Isato bowed his head to Kita Ikuyo very seriously and said:

"Obviously it's just an inexplicable message with no beginning or end, but Kita-san still came all the way here and is willing to accompany me to mess around... I really... thank you very much."

"Haha...I thought you were going to say something."

Kita Yudai showed a rather helpless smile.

"This kind of chatting between girls is quite normal. It would be better to say that I often chat with my friends about all kinds of gossip... Ah, or am I the only one who mistakenly thinks that we are already friends?"

"No, there is no such thing! I also regard Kita-san as a friend in my heart! Otherwise, I would not...send you that message without thinking!"

After hearing this, Goto Ichiri quickly explained:

"It's just because I've never made friends before...so...so I don't know if my behavior is normal or not, and it didn't cause you any trouble..."

"I'm really overthinking it as always..."

As Kita Ikuyo spoke, he moved to Ichiri Goto's side with a smile and stood shoulder to shoulder with her.

"As for me, although I don't know what kind of life Goto-san lived in the past, after getting along with her for a month, I think that Goto-san is not annoying at all, but rather a very interesting girl. Ah, although your personality is indeed a little troublesome, it is definitely not to the extent that people will hate you. So, you can chat with me more in the future, and I won’t mind."

"……real?"

"Of course! Who do you think we are friends?"

"Any topic is okay?"

"kindness!"

"Then... Kita-kun, please listen to me. In fact, I always feel sore in my shoulders when I play the piano recently. I didn't feel this way when I was in junior high school... Do you have any way to deal with this problem... Wow Wow! Wait, don’t suddenly take off my sportswear jacket! I can talk to you about any topic you mentioned! "

"Exception is the topic of breasts! You, a guy who doesn't know how to be blessed despite being blessed, repent!"

"Do not do this--"

Although the topic of Suzuki Ren's ex-girlfriend did not yield any substantial results, the relationship between Goto Kazuri and Kita Ikuyo has made very gratifying progress.

As for the fact that Goto Kazuri would subconsciously protect his chest every time he saw Kita Ikuyo after that, it was better to just pretend he didn't see it.

Chapter 30: When you stop moving forward, when I am still chasing

The theme of the lyrics chosen by Ren Suzuki is, not surprisingly, about his first love.

Probably because the various senses of immediacy brought by Ichiri Goto were so strong, Ren Suzuki wrote a whole page of lyrics almost non-stop.

Fluency, literature, and... a little sense of reality.

Next, it probably only needs a little polishing before it can be regarded as a finished product...

It seems quite natural for a band composed of high school girls to sing a song about broken love.

So, that's it.

Next, he will dig out all the memories and pain of lost love in his mind and turn them into lyrics.

After all, apart from that, there is nothing else of value in his heart.

........................

"...Hey, Suzuki."

"kindness?"

"You look very bad."

Looking at Ren Suzuki, who had a slightly gloomy look on her face in front of the counter, store manager Ijichi Hoshige frowned slightly.

"Did something happen?"

"……nothing."

Suzuki Ren twitched the corners of her mouth slightly when she realized that the other party was caring about her.

"It's just that I was a little late studying the lyrics last night...don't worry."

"...Huh? Lyrics?"

After hearing these words, Yi Ji Xingge was stunned for a moment, and then asked curiously:

"Writing lyrics can torture you to this extent. Can you tell me what the theme is?"

"Well...it's about 'broken love'."

After all, these lyrics will be submitted to the band sooner or later, so Ren Suzuki has no need to hide them from the store manager.

"I've seen that many bands have made articles about broken love. In addition, the members of the band that ended are all high school students in their youth, so it's not strange to sing this kind of song."

"..."

After hearing this, Yi Ji Xingge was silent for a while, and then said:

"Did you bring the lyrics?"

"I just brought the draft here."

"let me see."

"…………"

Although the overall tone and structure of the lyrics have been finalized, considering that this is my first time composing lyrics, I will definitely make many mistakes that are difficult for laymen to detect.It might also be a good choice to let Ichi Hoshige, an experienced musician, check it out a little bit.

Thinking of this, Ren Suzuki picked up her school bag, took out the lyrics she wrote last night, and handed them to Ichi Hoshika.

After Yi Ji Xingge took it, he immediately sat down at the table and read it carefully...

……

"...I didn't expect you to be able to write such content."

Itachi Hoshige glanced at Ren Suzuki in surprise.

"And you said it was about lost love... It's unbelievable. What did you go through during your junior high school years?"

"...It's hard to say."

Suzuki Ren first shook his head with a wry smile, and then asked:

"So, what do you think of this lyric?"

"There is no need to change the idea. Change the structure to be a little neater, and then consider the connection..."

As Ichi Hoshige spoke, he talked to Ren Suzuki about some knowledge about songwriting.

After finishing speaking, she immediately returned this somewhat heavy draft to Ren Suzuki:

"So...the content above is true?"

"...Of course it has been modified to a certain extent."

Ren Suzuki took the lyrics and slowly put them into his schoolbag.

"Even I know that lyrics require a little bit of imagination."

"But even so...it's not something people can laugh at."

Yi Ji Xingge sighed, then stood up and asked:

"When are you going to give them the lyrics?"

"Let's wait until the first draft is completed. Then I'll ask them what other ideas they have."

Ren Suzuki said:

"I'll bring it to you after I've finalized it. I'll ask you to give me some pointers then."

"I'm not a professional lyricist. The advice I gave you today is the limit of what I can do. The most important thing is the girls in the band."

Yi Di Zhi Xinge shook his head and said:

"But...Suzuki, as a senior in life, I have a little suggestion."

"……Speaking."

"Reflecting on past mistakes is not a bad thing. But don't lose sight of what is most important to you now."

Yiji Xingge said:

“Otherwise, the mistakes of the past will just keep repeating themselves as you look at the past.”

"……learn by heart."

It seems that Ichi Hoshige did understand the meaning of his lyrics.

But... is it the most important thing to him now...?

Ren Suzuki, who returned to the bar, cast his gaze on the empty stage. Even though the lights were bright enough to light up the entire stage, there was still no light reflected in those dull eyes.

"It would be great if there really was such a thing."

........................

"Okay-! Over!"

Itachi Hongxia happily gave a thumbs up to the two guitarists.

"Today has improved a lot compared to yesterday! Especially Kita and Little Pochi! You two worked really well together today!"

After hearing this, Kita Ikuyo suddenly showed an extremely bright smile:

"Thank you for the compliment!"

On the other side, Gotou Kazuri, who was also praised, almost grinned from the corner of her mouth to her ears. She smiled silly and touched the back of her head with her hand:

"Hehe...yeah, that's it~ It's no big deal~"

"Well... little Pochi really gets carried away easily when he is praised..."

Seeing that smile that could be called "disgusting", Ichichi Hongxia immediately stopped thinking about continuing to praise him.

On the other side, Yamada Ryo walked up to Kita Ikuyo and grabbed her right hand——

"Eh~!"

Kita Ikuyo, who was suddenly holding hands, first let out a shaken groan, and then said with a blushing face:

"What, what happened, Senior Liang... so suddenly?"

"...Sure enough, there are calluses on my hands."

Yamada Ryo said while carefully stroking Kita Ikuyo's fingertips:

"You have indeed worked hard, Kita."

"Ah wow wow... for Senior Ryo, it doesn't matter even if I break my fingers!"

Being praised in such an intimate way by the admired senior, Kita Ikuyo's whole face was filled with happiness.

The band's practice for the day ended very smoothly.

However, just as everyone was packing up their instruments and preparing to disperse, Goto Kazuri suddenly spoke again:

"Well, everyone! I have something to discuss with you!"

Then, under the curious eyes of everyone, Ichiri Goto picked up the guitar and returned to his previous position:
