After returning home that night, Nakamura Mine and Goto Ichiri both stayed up very late before going to bed.

"It's totally impossible!!! It doesn't work at all!!!" After sleeping on his stomach for just over three hours, Nakamura Mine woke up and faced several audio files he had synthesized last night on his laptop. He found that he was really wrong. Composing music was not as simple as he had imagined. When he thought of his boasting last night, he straightened his hair in annoyance.

With this general idea in mind, it was indeed easy for him to compose and write lyrics. However, the difficulty of the arrangement was much greater than he expected. Not to mention that he had no experience in this area. The key point was that he only had a general idea in his mind, and it was very difficult to turn it into a song.

The software operation is not difficult, but the main problem is that the sound effect is really unsatisfactory.

What he spent a whole night making yesterday can be said to be a complete mess. He just crammed in elements that he thought were good, and he also selfishly stuffed a lot of keyboard elements in there. In short, the result was weird and it was hard to call it a song.

Chapter 99: Arrangement

The same thing happened to Goto Ichiri. After she went home yesterday, she spent the whole night thinking about how to create a song that would shock everyone, and she didn't sleep much that night.

The two of them went to their school with dark circles under their eyes.

"Pfft~ Xiaofeng, panda?" Hirasawa Wei laughed unkindly when he saw Nakamura Feng with a gloomy head and dark circles under his eyes.

"You're so long-winded." Nakamura Mine curled his lips and went back to his seat and lay down. Although he wanted to fall asleep right away, his crappy arrangements still occupied his mind, making it impossible for him to fall asleep.

"What happened? Ah! Could it be that the ritual of joining the light music club means that you can't sleep at night?" Hirasawa Yui made a bold guess.

"How could there be such a suspicious initiation ceremony? It's not some diving club. I was just working on the arrangement last night so I hardly slept." Nakamura Mine complained weakly.

"Huh? Border area?" Hirasawa Wei blinked his bright big eyes blankly, totally not understanding what Nakamura Mine meant.

"It's about creating your own song." Nakamura Mine said incoherently with half of his face resting on the desk.

"Eh!? My own song! It sounds so cool!" Hirasawa Yui looked over with shining eyes.

"I guess so. But this matter doesn't seem to be as simple as I thought. I spent the whole night yesterday, and although the process was quite interesting, the result is totally unacceptable. Sigh... It's obviously very simple to play a single instrument, but it always feels weird when put together..." Nakamura Mine felt a headache when he thought about this. He brought his notebook with him today. His original plan was to try harder in the light music department's music classroom, but he felt that the final result would not be very good.

"Oh~ What a trouble!" Nakamura Mine knocked his forehead on the table. He really wanted to punch himself for being too proud of himself yesterday.

If composing is the process of turning 0 into 1, then arranging is the process of turning 1 into 100. Both are equally difficult.

"Well, although I don't quite understand, this kind of thing shouldn't be rushed, right? Relax, relax." Hirasawa Yui comforted in an old lady's tone and patted Nakamura Mine on the head.

"That's what I said..." Nakamura Mine knew that this kind of thing couldn't be rushed. In fact, Ijichi Kouka also said that it was completely okay if the song couldn't be made on time. But how should I put it, well, when he thought of his confident look yesterday...

The key point is that it's not just his own song. He was also originally planning to arrange the song written by Goto Ichiri, but he doesn't have the confidence to do so now.

"Hehe... Anyway, let's find the time machine first..."

Nakamura Mine spent the whole morning in this state. When it was lunchtime, Nakamura Mine could only force himself to go to the music classroom. Hirasawa Yui fell into deep thought as she watched Nakamura Mine leave listlessly.

"Light music club?...hmm..." Although Hirasawa Yui didn't quite understand what Nakamura Mine was worried about, it seemed to her that she had just joined the light music club yesterday and it had turned out like this today. Perhaps the light music club was not as easy as she had imagined.

"Wei, is today's lunch also a bento?" Manabe Kazu walked over with his bento, and when she heard the topic of lunch, Hirasawa Wei forgot the little confusion in her heart.

"Yeah, it was You who did it."

"You are a very capable sister as always."

"Hehe, You is my proud sister."

In the music classroom on the top floor, Nakamura Mine, wearing headphones, kept revising his work from last night on his notebook.

After spending nearly an hour on the revisions, Nakamura Mine listened to it again himself, and then his head fell on the table.

"Isn't this getting worse and worse? If you listen carefully, this drum beat is not something that a human can play, right? Can Hongxia grow a few more arms?" Nakamura Mine said irrelevant words helplessly.

"Well, it's impossible anyway."

"That is to say... huh?" Nakamura Mine answered subconsciously and then realized that something seemed wrong. Who was the one who was speaking just now?

I took off one earphone and turned around to see a forehead reflecting light.

"Tai Nakagura." Nakamura Mine read out the other person's name and looked around briefly, but did not see any other people.

"Mio is still in the classroom." Tianzhong Ritsu pulled out a stool and sat down casually.

"By the way, you can just call me by my name. After all, we will be partners in the same club in the future, and it will have to be like this sooner or later."

"Well, then you can just call me by my name. To be honest, I don't really care about this. By the way, why are you coming to the music classroom at this time?" Nakamura Mine replied indifferently.

"Well, I just came to see if anyone would submit their application form for membership here, but it looks like there's no hope." Tianzhong Ritsu said with some regret, crossing her hands behind her head. Although she knew that few people would go to visit the club during lunch break, she did care about this matter.

This was especially true after watching the performance of the band Fanxingnei yesterday. Not only her, but even Akiyama Mio, who had originally joined the band only reluctantly, seemed to have been motivated. She had been talking about the band on her phone last night and this morning.

"Don't worry, what is meant to come will come." Nakamura Mine is very confident about this. After all, he has simulated it so many times, and there has never been a time when these people couldn't get together. It can be said that fate is really a wonderful thing.

"Well~ it would be easy if that were the case." Tianzhong Ritsu stretched and then continued to ask:

"By the way, Feng, you were composing the music just now, right?"

"Well, it would be terrible if there are no results." Nakamura Mine said with a worried look on his face.

"Oh? Can I listen to it?" Tianzhong Ritsu's curiosity was aroused.

Nakamura Mine didn't say anything, but handed the other earphone to the other person.

Seeing Tian Zhongli couldn't wait to put it on, Nakamura Mine clicked the play button with trembling fingers.

Tianzhong Ritsu's expression changed from full of anticipation to weirdness, and finally to fear.

After taking off her headphones, she finally understood why Nakamura Mine had just said that he wanted Senior Hongxia to grow a few more arms. This drum was simply not something that a human could play!

Chapter 100 From Getting Started to Giving Up

"Excuse me, this kind of art is still too advanced for today's human beings." Tianzhong Ritsu took off his headphones and raised his right hand to deny the fruits of Nakamura Mine's labor.

"As expected..." Although I had anticipated this result, I was still somewhat shocked when someone said it directly to me.

"Well, don't look so disappointed. Things like this are never that simple." Tianzhong Ritsu patted Nakamura Mine on the back to comfort him.

Nakamura Mine rolled his eyes at the other person and closed his notebook, as class was about to start.

"Eh? Are you leaving now? I just started." Tianzhong Ritsu made a dissatisfied sound.

"Otherwise, the lunch break will be over in ten minutes. How long do you want to stay here?" Nakamura Mine ignored Tian Zhongli's complaints.

"Okay, I'll go back too."

In the classroom of Class 3, Grade 1, the first class in the afternoon was mathematics. Nakamura Mine kept writing and drawing on his notebook with a mechanical pencil. He naturally did not take any class notes. He originally planned to use the time to think about arranging music. He completely forgot that he had just taught Goto Ichiri to study hard in school. However, while thinking about arranging music, he began to design a promotional poster for the end of the band in order to escape reality.

By now he had to admit that he didn't have the ability to compose music on his own. Instead of wasting time here, he might as well tell the truth to everyone. Otherwise, it would be a bad thing to let everyone wait in vain, but it would be a bad ending if the music that Goto Ichiri and Yamada Ryo were composing was delayed.

Nakamura Mine sighed heavily. If he had known earlier, he would have used all the points to upgrade his arranging skills. Otherwise, he would not be facing this dilemma now. However, it is too late to say this now.

Is it really the only way to ask that guy for help? Damn, I feel like I will be laughed at.

"Nakamura, Nakamura! Pay attention if you're daydreaming!" Nakamura Feng's wandering thoughts were brought back to reality by a piece of chalk.

Nakamura Mine calmly wiped the powder off his forehead and gave the math teacher a thumbs up with a normal expression.

"Teacher, you have a great shooting skill." Nakamura Mine praised sincerely. You know, he was sitting in the last row, and this math teacher could actually stand on the podium and accurately aim the chalk at his forehead. It would be impossible to do that without more than ten years of experience.

"Wow? Should I thank you for the compliment?" The math teacher said with a wry smile, but many students in the audience began to laugh secretly, and among them, Hirasawa Yui was the loudest.

"You're too polite, hehe." Nakamura Mine waved his hand shamelessly.

"..."

"Stand out here as punishment..."

The math teacher was so confused by Nakamura Mine's natural attitude that he didn't know how to respond, so he could only press his temple to drive Nakamura Mine out.

He was also an experienced teacher, and he had seen teachers who dared to point at him and scold him, but it was rare to find a student like Nakamura Mine who could joke with him so naturally. Most students were more or less scared when they saw him as a teacher. Even those students who seemed to be against him were not completely fearless, and most of them were just trying to be strong for the sake of face.

However, Nakamura Mine seemed to treat himself as an equal, which he did not dislike. In fact, Nakamura Mine had scored full marks in mathematics in the entrance examination and was firmly ranked first. Of course, he was not the only one who scored full marks, but this also made him take it seriously enough.

So naturally he paid more attention to Nakamura Feng during class. Originally, the problem of daydreaming in class was not limited to just one or two students, and it was impossible to control them all. However, he thought highly of Nakamura Feng, so he reminded him. As a result, he didn't know where the boy's mind was wandering, and he didn't respond after calling him for a long time.

Seeing Nakamura Mine walking out of the classroom in a listless manner, he sighed slightly. He had also asked the head teacher of Class 3 about the student's family situation. After so many years of vocational education, he knew how much impact such things happening at home would have on a student's character. However, it was not his turn to comment on it.

"Forget it. Go back and listen to the class carefully. Be more careful next time." The math teacher's sudden words made Nakamura Mine, who had just stepped half a step out of the classroom threshold, turn back in confusion. He didn't quite understand why the teacher suddenly changed his mind, but he still obediently returned to his seat, although his attention was still not on the podium.

There was no way. He really had already mastered all of this, and there was no need to deepen his impression of it.

Seeing that the math teacher still didn't pay attention to him, he shook his head secretly, but did not attack him again. Instead, he focused and continued teaching.

After school, Nakamura Mine was called to the office, but it was not the math teacher, or even his homeroom teacher, but their music teacher, Yamanaka Sawako.

"Why did you call me here? Teacher Sawako." Nakamura Mine had no idea why he was called here. It was impossible that he had to be taught a lesson by Yamanaka Sawako, the music teacher, because he was distracted in math class, right?

"Well, Nakamura-san, are you short of money?"

As soon as Yamanaka Sawako opened her mouth, Nakamura Mine was completely stunned.

Is he short of money? Of course he is. The more he gets into music, the more he finds that his equipment is not enough. Especially now he wants a better sound card, effects, headphones, etc., but he doesn't have enough money in his small coffers. He had planned to play the piano and post some videos online, but he never really put it into action because he doesn't even have a good recording device.

Nakamura Mine looked at Teacher Yamanaka Sawako who was looking at him seriously, and suddenly had a bold guess. He asked his guess cautiously:

"Teacher... do you want to support me? Although, although you are young and beautiful, as a man with dignity, I think it is not appropriate to do so." Nakamura Mine tactfully expressed his refusal. Although being supported by the beautiful teacher in front of him did not seem completely unacceptable, he still had the most basic principles. In the simulation, he was unwilling to even eat the free rice of Kotobuki's family.

Chapter 101 New Part-time Job

"How could this be possible, Nakamura-san? What the hell are you thinking about in your head?" Yamanaka Sawako tapped Nakamura Mine on the head gently with a rolled-up textbook.

But even though she was giving him a lecture, she was actually quite proud of herself for being praised for being young and pretty by a good-looking boy like Nakamura Mine.

"Then why did the teacher suddenly ask me this?" Nakamura Feng also put away his joking thoughts and asked seriously.

"You... joined the light music club, right?" Yamanaka Sawako's tone was obviously a little strange when she said the word "light music club".

"You know this teacher too?" Nakamura Mine was a little surprised. Is this teacher so well-informed? The light music club hasn't even got enough members yet, and this person in front of him already knows that he has joined?

But Yamanaka Sawako gave Nakamura Mine a speechless look.

"What do you think? Nakamura-san, the news that you rejected the jazz and classical music clubs that invited you and joined the light music club that was on the verge of being disbanded has spread among the first graders, and even the second and third graders, okay?"

"Is this true?" Nakamura Mine was a little confused about how to complain. Is this what they call bad news spreading far and wide? Even joining a club can spread the news? Are the students in this school too idle?

"I'm sorry, I'm not kidding you." Yamanaka Sawako said after picking up the teacup and taking a sip.

"It's so boring." Nakamura Mine complained a little but didn't take it too seriously. After all, this little thing would probably be forgotten in the corner of everyone's memory in two or three days.

"But what does this have to do with you asking me if I'm short of money?" Nakamura Mine still didn't understand why Yamanaka Sawako asked him.

"Well, actually I just talked to Tian Zhong-san."

After hearing what Yamanaka Sawako said, Nakamura Mine probably knew what was going on.

Really, that big mouth of Ritsu Tainaka.

"Is it because of my part-time job at the 'live house'?" Nakamura Mine took the initiative to speak.

Yamanaka Sawako nodded and then shook her head.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that working part-time is bad. After all, our school doesn't prohibit students from working outside the school, and this is not something I, a music teacher, should be responsible for," said Sawako Yamanaka.

"So...what does the teacher mean?"

"I want to ask if you are interested in being a piano tutor?" Yamanaka Sawako asked with a gentle smile. She also learned from Tiananaka Ritsu that Nakamura Minato had formed a band outside of school. Having had the same experience before, she naturally understood that a band is very expensive in the early stages, and there are also the costs of its own equipment. Not to mention that the music that Nakamura Minato is interested in seems to be far more than just guitar and piano.

Such expenses cannot be supported by a part-time job.

"Piano tutor?" Nakamura Mine was a little confused by Yamanaka Sawako's sudden proposal.

He? A piano tutor?

Hmmm…a path never envisioned.

"Well, you just need to spare half a day on Saturday and Sunday. The hourly wage is 2000 yen. What do you think?" Yamanaka Sawako asked a little uneasily. She knew that Nakamura Mine's piano level was above professional level. If you really calculated it carefully, the hourly wage was a little low, but even so, it was the amount she had argued for for a long time. After all, no matter what Nakamura Mine's actual level was, he had no fame and was still too young.

In fact, the other party almost turned against her when he heard that she was going to introduce a child who was not even sixteen years old to be a tutor. It was only after she repeatedly emphasized Nakamura Mine's strength that the other party agreed to hire him under this condition after truly confirming his level.

"2000 yen?!" Nakamura Mine was a little surprised.

Is being a piano tutor so profitable? The salary is more than double that of working at Fanxing. Nakamura Feng roughly estimated that if he tutored for five hours on weekends, he would earn 10,000 yuan, which means he would earn at least 40,000 yuan a month, and 480,000 yuan a year. The price of the piano he had chosen before was also more than 400,000 yuan.

In this way, it will only take him one year to have his own piano.

And although Fanxing's hourly wage is not that high, he can't resist going there every day. Even if part of it is used as the band fund, there will still be a lot left.

Nakamura Mine had to admit that he was moved.

"Can I really do it?" Although he was willing in his heart, Nakamura Mine still felt that he had to refuse a little according to the rules.

After seeing what Nakamura Mine said, Yamanaka Sawako understood that the other party had basically agreed, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief. She had communicated with the other party for a long time before deciding on it. If Nakamura Mine did not agree, then it would be difficult for her.
