Chapter 134 Song
"Huh? Wait, what kind of group are you guys?" Looking at the trio that appeared in front of her, Ijichi Hongxia said that her brain was a little overwhelmed.
First of all, she recognized the three people in front of her. One was her good friend Yamada Ryo, one was Nakamura Mine who lied to her yesterday and said he was Yamada Ryo’s friend, and the other was a cute junior high school student guest who would appear whenever Yamada Ryo had a performance.
Ijichi Kouka stood up and pulled Yamada Ryo aside and started talking in a low voice.
"Hey, Liang, didn't you say before that you didn't know him? What's going on now?" Ijichi Hongxia's tone was full of confusion. She wondered if she was being fooled by her good friend.
"Well, I really don't know him." Yamada Ryo said honestly.
"Then why are you two here together now? And the one next to you must be your fan, I often saw him in the store before."
"Well... we just met, both of them are..."
Yamada Ryo's answer made Ijichi Kouka fall into silence for a while. If Yamada Ryo did not lie to her, it was Nakamura Mine who took the initiative to contact Yamada Ryo and brought Yamada Ryo to her shop.
"Really, it makes me so confused..." Ichichi Hongxia sighed and held his forehead.
"Me too, actually." Yamada Ryo said with empathy. She now couldn't understand what Nakamura Mine was trying to do, especially about his proposal just now.
When the two returned to the front desk, they were stunned again by the scene before them.
In front of the bar, Ikuyo Kita was seen talking to customers with a perfect smile, while Mine Nakamura was very skillfully packaging the drinks and handing them to the customers.
(No, how come you are so skilled?)
An hour later, only five people, including the store manager, were left in Fanxing after the restaurant closed for the day.
"You two are very capable. Would you like to consider working here during the summer vacation?" Ijichi Hoshika could clearly feel that he and his sister felt a lot more relaxed after the arrival of Nakamura Mine and Kita Ikuyo, so he couldn't help but make an invitation.
"Is it okay?!" Kita Ikuyo seemed very interested in this suggestion. Although she had plans almost every day during the summer vacation, Fanxing only opened at night after all. Kita Ikuyo thought it would not be a bad idea to take this opportunity to train herself.
Compared to Kita Ikuyo, the light in Nakamura Mine's eyes is brighter.
"I don't need a salary, but please provide food and lodging! And if possible, I would like to borrow the spare synthesizer." Nakamura Mine took the opportunity to make a request, because he estimated that he would not be able to keep any of his belongings after the simulation, so he didn't want any money at all. Compared to that, the most important thing now is to find a place that can shelter from the wind and rain and have food to eat. Although he had spent a night in Fanxing before, he stayed there out of sympathy. He was not shameless enough to stay like this forever. But if he helped with the work himself, that would be another matter.
"Deal!" Yidizhi Xingge agreed without hesitation, and both of them felt that they had made a big profit.
Ijichi Kouka did not do anything to stop him. After all, if Nakamura Mine really had nowhere to go as he said, then this would be a good result. She would also be able to relax a lot. To be honest, she really felt too busy these days.
“This is the new lyrics I wrote.”
"Ah."
Amidst the stars, Nakamura Mine handed the lyrics he had just written to Yamada Ryo. The latter just took them and looked at them quietly without saying much. Instead, Ijichi Kouka and Kita Ikuyo who were nearby were curious and squeezed their heads to his sides.
Looking at the scene in front of him with a smile, it was only less than two days, but Nakamura Mine had already begun to miss everyone who would end the band in the future. He slowly walked to the synthesizer borrowed from the store manager and began to play the melody of the lyrics he had just handed to Yamada Ryo. When he saw Yamada Ryo's performance just now, this song came into his mind.
Yamada Ryo and the others listened to the melody played by Nakamura Mine while looking at the lyrics in their hands, and had different thoughts in their minds.
"How about this song? Are you interested in helping me compose it and playing it with me?"
Previously, Nakamura Mine's proposal to Yamada Ryo was that since the other party had now retired from the band and was free anyway, why not create a new song with him? Then Nakamura Mine wanted to accumulate experience performing in front of people, so he wanted to perform on the street with Yamada Ryo.
Normally, Ryo Yamada should have decisively refused such a shameless request from someone she had just met, but perhaps because she was concerned about what Nakamura Minato had said to her before, Ryo Yamada seemed curious about what kind of lyrics Nakamura Minato could write, so she followed him to Fanxing.
Unlike Kita Ikuyo who was just an amateur who thought it was amazing, Ijichi Kouka could tell from the performance just now that Nakamura Minoru was a very high level keyboard player, and if both the lyrics and the music of this song were written by Nakamura Minoru, then that was also quite amazing.
Ijichi Nijika had also heard from Kita Ikuyo about Nakamura Mine's proposal for Yamada Ryo and the fact that Yamada had already withdrawn from the band. She was quick-witted and quickly understood why Nakamura Mine made this proposal. It was probably to make Yamada Ryo, who was tired of composing music following the crowd, find the joy of composing again. But although she knew his purpose, Ijichi Nijika had no idea what Nakamura Mine's intention was.
(Is it to pursue Ryo? But didn’t they know each other before? And Ryo also said that Nakamura would definitely not be her fan, so what is it......)
Unable to figure it out, Ijichi Kouka temporarily put the problem aside. No matter what, looking at Yamada Ryo shaking his legs and looking a little eager to do something, Ijichi Kouka felt that this might really be an opportunity for Yamada Ryo to cheer up again. Moreover, she had a little selfish thought that since Yamada Ryo had left his original band, her idea of forming a new band with him might also come true.
"I feel like you'll be able to come up with a great song! If you do, take me with you to the street performance. If you don't mind, I can be the drummer!" Looking at the hesitant Yamada Ryo, Ijichi Kouka decided to give her assist.
"Well, in that case, I'll come and help too. Although I don't know how to play any musical instrument...but I'll help with anything else." Kita Ikuyo also quickly followed suit.
Chapter 135 Preparation
"Then do you want to come and sing? I feel like you're the type who goes to KTV often." Nakamura Mine's eyes lit up when he looked at the two people who were actively cooperating with him. Doesn't this mean that all the members of the band are here except Goto Ichiri who lives out of the county?
"Eh, me? But..." Kita Ikuyo was a little hesitant. Although her friends had praised her singing, she didn't really think of herself as a good singer. Moreover, she had to sing on the street in front of everyone. Just thinking about it made her very nervous.
"What's wrong with that? Come and try it. Just treat it as an experience activity." Ijichi Kouka also said this in support. Nakamura Mine kept giving Ijichi Kouka a thumbs up in his heart. It turned out that Kouka's mother was the most reliable at critical moments.
"How's it? Do you want to give it a try? Just think of it as a way to change your mood." Ijichi Hongxia asked her friend who was obviously moved.
Nakamura Mine feels that he can just lie down and wait for the result, and discusses why Ichichi Kouka is a god.
"..." Faced with these three pairs of expectant eyes, Yamada Ryo finally gave up struggling and nodded in agreement. However, what others did not know was that the main reason he agreed was because he was curious about Nakamura Mine and his intentions, but she did not intend to ask directly, but was prepared to confirm it with her own eyes and ears.
Originally, she definitely wasn't in the mood to do this, but now...
Yamada Ryo glanced at the three people who were cheering for her agreement to join, and she felt that this was not a bad idea.
A few days later…
"What?! Don't you think it would be fun to add these special effects sounds here?!" Nakamura Mine looked unconvinced at Yamada Ryo who denied his idea to insert elements. This was an inspiration that suddenly flashed to him at night, but it was denied so casually. How could he be willing to accept this?
"Although it is very interesting, it will destroy the overall feeling, so I reject it." Yamada Ryo rejected it without any mercy.
"If it's just this, there shouldn't be any problem, right?"
"No."
"What about this part? I'm very confident about this part!"
"..."
"Your taste may be too advanced for this era. And why is the drum beat so inhumane? Do you have any grudge against Hong Xia?"
"What are you talking about? Don't you think it would be cool if you could do that?"
"I think Hongxia and Gu will be the first to become casualties."
"There's no such thing, right Nijixia?" Nakamura Mine turned to Ijichi Nijixia and asked.
"Hehe... Please forgive me." Ichichi Hongxia laughed awkwardly. This scene has been played out several times in the past few days in the Stars. But to be honest, she shouldn't have offended Nakamura Mine, right? Why does he always like to make the drum beats so perverted?
(but......)
Looking at the slightly smug smile on Yamada Ryo's face, Ijichi Hongxia felt a lot more relieved. She had thought that Yamada Ryo would be depressed for a while, but now it seems that there is no need to worry anymore.
"Then it's settled." Ignoring Nakamura Mine who kept complaining, Yamada Ryo directly decided on the arrangement after getting the approval of Ijichi Koka and Kita Ikuyo.
"Okay, then the next thing is practice. A week later we'll go out for a street performance at night!" Since it has been finalized, Nakamura Mine no longer resisted and announced the schedule directly.
"Why at night?" Ijichi Hinikaka and Kita Ikuyo looked over in confusion, because Fanxing is open from the afternoon to the evening, so wouldn't it be better to choose daytime?
"Because, doesn't everyone have time at night? Look, isn't Kita's daytime schedule very full?" Nakamura Mine looked away with a guilty look on his face.
"Ah, if that's the reason, I can go and tell my friends..." Kita Ikuyo didn't want to trouble everyone because of this, so she wanted to say that she could cancel the original arrangement.
"No! You can't!" Nakamura Mine interrupted Kita Ikuyo anxiously.
"Haha, actually it's because there are too many people during the day, so he would be embarrassed." Yamada Ryo covered his mouth and laughed.
"You bastard, you clearly promised me to keep it a secret!" Nakamura Mine immediately wanted to cover Yamada Ryo's mouth, but the other party dodged it skillfully.
"Pfft~ Feng is actually a shy kid." While dodging Nakamura Feng, Yamada Ryo continued to mock him.
"Shut up!" Nakamura Mine's face started to get hot. What could he do? If anyone were to start playing on the street, they would feel ashamed when they thought about people passing by looking at them, right? Everyone is like this, right? Even if not everyone is like this, at least Pochi and Mio must understand them, right? And he didn't believe that other people could really not be nervous at all, they were just pretending.
"You two have become really close." Ijichi Hinikaka couldn't help but sigh, and comforted Kita Ikuyo who was biting her handkerchief and looking envious.
(Even though they’ve only known each other for a few days, these two really hit it off.)
It was the first time that Ijichi Kouka saw someone other than herself who could chat so enthusiastically with Yamada Ryo, especially since she could never understand why Nakamura Mine seemed to know Ryo, and even herself and Kita Ikuyo, quite well.
It was as if they had known each other for a long time.
After Yamada Ryo and Kita Ikuyo left, Ijichi Kouka brought two glasses of cold drinks and sat down in front of Nakamura Mine, and placed one of the glasses in front of him.
"Thanks."
"Well, um, thank you for the cool thing." Ijichi Hongxia leaned her cheek against the wall of the glass with cold water droplets on it, feeling the coolness on her cheek, and she slowly said this sentence.
"Hmm?" After drinking most of the cold drink in the cup in one gulp, Nakamura Mine cast a regretful look at Ijichi Koka.
"Thanks to you, Liang seems to be a lot more cheerful. You see, although that girl usually has a expressionless face, she was really depressed some time ago. Thanks to you, Liang seems to have come over the dispute between her and the band." Ijichi Hongxia picked up the drink again and took a sip. The cold drink quickly dissipated the coldness in her mouth, bringing a sense of refreshment while gradually becoming warm.
"You came out, huh..."
Chapter 136 Target
Looking at the system that still had no response, Nakamura Mine knew very well that although Yamada Ryo seemed to have returned to normal on the surface, she had not yet dispelled the haze in her heart. She was the kind of girl who would hide her own vulnerability in the deepest part of her heart.
(Did I go in the wrong direction?)
Originally, Nakamura Mine's plan was indeed as Ijichi Kouka expected, to help Yamada Ryo get over the unpleasant experience in the band, but Nakamura Mine now reconsidered it.
In fact, the future Ijichi Kouka has already done this, right? If Yamada Ryo's heart knot is really just this, then why does he need his help?
Nakamura Feng thought about it over and over again, but still had no idea.
"What's wrong?" Looking at Nakamura Mine who changed his thinking posture every now and then, Ijichi Kouka felt a little puzzled, but not too surprised. After all, this was not the first time such a thing happened.
(What a strange person...)
"It's okay. Let's practice while we still have time."
Nakamura Mine could only put aside his doubts by casually telling the story.
In the next few days, Nakamura Mine spent his time practicing and working, and he also secretly observed Yamada Ryo's performance from time to time.
In general, everything is normal. Yamada Ryo's performance is not much different from her future self. The only difference may be that she doesn't always look for opportunities for him to treat her to a meal, but this is ninety-nine percent of the time because he has no money at all now.
The rehearsal went smoothly, or rather, too smoothly. Without the half-baked and unstable guitarist, their performance was much smoother than it was a year later.
Although Kita Ikuyo's singing skills are still far from professional levels, she has a natural good voice so there is nothing wrong with just singing on the streets.
Soon, they made all preparations for the street performance, but it was at this moment that Nakamura Mine was finally certain that he seemed to have really mistaken his target.
But now that things have come to this, he can't regret it, so he just treats it as a special training to get himself used to being watched by the audience.
In fact, this did help him, although it was definitely not to the extent of Goto Ichiri, but he had no stage experience and would feel uncontrollably nervous in front of the audience. Several days of street singing could not dissipate it, but Nakamura Mine found that if this kind of nervousness was properly grasped, it could sometimes allow him to perform beyond his level, although most of the time it would still increase the chances of making mistakes.
Everything was going on in an orderly manner, but Nakamura Mine was becoming more and more anxious. Watching the days go by, he was really afraid that if the speed of time flowed at a one-to-one ratio between reality and here, then half a semester would have passed by the time he finished the exam.
Just when Nakamura Mine's patience was about to run out and he was about to go directly to Yamada Ryo to ask him indirectly, he received some unexpected news from Kita Ikuyo.
The band that Liang used to be in seemed to have disbanded, apparently due to discord among the members, and this happened less than half a month after Liang left the band.
This is the news that Kita Ikuyo received from her former fan group.
On the day he heard the news, Yamada Ryo did not come to Fanxing as agreed.
This also made Nakamura Mine finally understand what he should do.
"Kita, do you have a way to find the members of Ryo's former band?" Nakamura Mine asked Kita Ikuyo, his expression rarely looking serious.
"Huh? The news was just announced in the live house, so they should still be... waiting, Nakamura-kun?" Before Kita Ikuyo could finish her words, Nakamura Mine couldn't wait to run out the door.
"Sorry, I have something to do today, so I'll leave today's work to you." After saying this, Nakamura Mine ran out of the stars without looking back, leaving behind Kita Ikuyo with a confused look on her face.
"Wait, wait a minute, me too!" After standing there and thinking for a while, Kita Ikuyo seemed to have figured something out and wanted to run outside immediately. Unfortunately, she was patted on the shoulder by Ijichi Hoshika with a "smile" on her face.
"Manager, manager, but Nakamura-kun..." Kita Ikuyo said somewhat aggrievedly.
"That guy ran too fast, and... he doesn't need salary." Ijichi Hoshige's answer left Kita Ikuyo speechless, and she had to return to her front desk work in frustration.
On the other side, Nakamura Mine has arrived at the door of his destination, the "live house", but since he doesn't even have any coats to sell this time, he can only squat at the door and wait like a suspicious person.
(I should have asked for more salary earlier... And Liang, that guy, actually embezzled the money...)
Every time she went to perform on the streets, Yamada Ryo would put a small jar in front and wait for people to give her tips. That was fine, but the most annoying thing was that she had seen people actually throw banknotes into the jar several times before, but they would just put down their bass during the performance and run up to check how much money was put in.
Then she pocketed all the money she earned, even though it wasn't much to begin with...
In other words, Nakamura Mine felt that he couldn't take the money he earned in this simulation with him, otherwise he would have to talk to her about it. He couldn't indulge that guy like Ijichi Kouka and Kita Ikuyo did.
As he was thinking about these trivial matters, time was gradually passing by. However, unexpectedly, the person he wanted to wait for did not make him wait too long. Although he could not be sure of the specific time, it was definitely still too early for him to leave.
"You two don't look very happy. Did something bad happen?" Looking at the two girls who walked out, whom he was not actually familiar with, Nakamura Mine suddenly spoke.
"Who are you? What's the matter?"
The girl with an unhappy look on her face replied in a somewhat anxious tone, while the other girl was playing with her mobile phone without even raising her head. It was unknown what important matter was that made her even use the time to walk. She seemed to have no intention of paying any attention to Nakamura Mine, and did not even intend to communicate with the other girl. She just kept walking forward with her hands holding the phone.
"I'm Liang's friend. I came to you to invite you to a performance." Nakamura Mine's words caused the expressions of both of them to change obviously.
The arrogant girl bit her lower lip and her expression became more irritated, and the girl playing with her mobile phone also stopped moving forward.
