Love? Please allow me to simulate it first!

Tianzhong Ritsu quickly lifted up her shirt to reveal her belly, looking very flustered.

(Hey, there's a man here...)

Nakamura Mine subconsciously looked away, but when he thought about it carefully, it seemed that he had seen swimsuits before, and showing a belly was nothing big, so he looked away again.

"Is it because you, Lu, haven't played drums recently?" Akiyama Mio's purpose was obvious.

"Okay! Let's start practicing!" Tianzhong Ritsu raised his hands to indicate that as the director he should take the lead. Having achieved his goal, Akiyama Mio showed a proud smile.

After finishing a simple song, Hirasawa Yui fell to the floor exhausted.

"I'm so tired~ This guitar is too heavy~" Hirasawa Yui complained while rubbing her shoulders.

"That's why we advised you to buy a lighter one before." Nakamura Mine said lazily leaning against the wall. In fact, the guitar tuned by Hirasawa Yui was indeed not light, even slightly heavier than his Vegeta.

"Who is it! The one who insisted on buying this guitar!" Hirasawa Yui raised his right arm and shouted.

"Isn't it just you!" Akiyama Mio complained.

"But is this really your first time playing together? It seems like everyone has a good understanding of each other." Kita Ikuyo watched the light music club's first performance, then thought about her own first time and felt that the former was obviously much better.

"Yeah, I feel the same way." Ijichi Kouka also agreed. In fact, Kita Ikuyo might not know that before she came to end the band, the song they played together when Nakamura Minoru and Goto Ichiri just joined was terrible.

"Well~ it's indeed much better than I thought. Of course, it would be even better if Wei didn't play wrong and Ritsu didn't try to grab the beat as if he was being chased by someone." Nakamura Mine looked at Ritsu Tiananaka, who averted his eyes and whistled. Sometimes a person's playing style and personality have a lot to do with each other, and Ritsu Tiananaka is an example of this. To put it nicely, he is not fussy, and to put it bluntly, he is impatient.

"Ritsu, listen carefully and correct yourself." Akiyama Mio said seriously, her tone just like that of Ritsu Tainanaka's parent.

After the band and the light music club finished five rounds of practice, it was Nakamura Mine's turn to lie on the floor.

"No, that's not fair. Am I not the only one who hasn't stopped at all?!" Even if Nakamura Mine had the best physical strength, he would be completely exhausted after such a day.

"It can't be helped. You have a position on both sides, Afeng."

"But I'm really tired today, so let's stop here for now." Akiyama Mio saw that everyone looked tired. Although she personally wanted to practice a little more, she knew that there wouldn't be much effect from the exercise, so she announced that it was over.

"Okay! Then let's set off fireworks!" Tianzhong Ritsu, who had been listless, suddenly jumped up energetically.

"Oh!!!"

(They seem to be having fun with great energy...) The corners of her mouth twitched, and compared to the calm performance of the band at the end, she felt a little embarrassed.

"I, I can't go on anymore. I need to lie down for a while. Wake me up when you can take a bath." Yamada Ryo leaned her whole body on Ijichi Hongka, and it was obvious that she was indeed exhausted.

"Hey, hey! I'm tired too, don't come close to me." Ijichi Hongxia was not a person with much physical energy. After playing for a whole day and feeling tired from practicing, she actually wanted to lie down directly.

Goto Ichiri was so tired that she fell into a semi-hypnotic state. Now she would probably do whatever she was asked to do unconsciously. Her body, which could make her gasp for breath after running two steps, was completely overloaded.

In the end, except for Ikuyo Kita and Mine Nakamura, all the others in the band were stay-at-home guys with no energy.

"Everyone, the fireworks are going to be set off! Everyone should be happy!" Kita Ikuyo was fully revived after hearing the fireworks. This step is naturally indispensable for the training camp.

(…)

(Calm——?)

Under the starry night, several girls were preparing fireworks.

After pressing his shoulders, Nakamura Mine walked over to Akiyama Mio, who was sitting on the steps eating a watermelon.

"Japanese watermelons really aren't that sweet."

"But it's really amazing to sprinkle salt on it before eating it." Nakamura Mine said as he looked at Tianzhong Ritsu and others who lined up the fireworks in a row in front of him.

"Huh? Why do you talk like you're not Japanese?" Akiyama Mio asked curiously after spitting out the watermelon seeds in her mouth. Nakamura Feng did not continue the topic, but changed the subject.

"Mio, you always seem a little anxious today. Did something happen?" Although he knew the reason, Nakamura Mine still asked it. What he learned from the simulation was completely different from what the other party said in person.

"Well...actually, I found a live recording of the light music club at the school festival in the club." As she spoke, Akiyama Mio picked up the radio beside her.

"Ah, I've heard that one too. It's a pretty amazing performance."

(In every sense...)

Nakamura Mine knew that Akiyama Mio was talking about Yamanaka Sawako's performance in high school. He had secretly taken out the tapes and photo albums to enjoy them a long time ago, especially the photos with exaggerated shapes, which he had taken with his mobile phone and saved in his cloud drive.

He and Yamanaka Sawako were quite familiar with each other, and he knew that she actually started out as a violinist. It was conceivable that she must have been a girl with a classical temperament. As for why her style suddenly changed when she entered high school, he really didn't dare to ask for the details.

However, he also knows someone who used to be honest but let herself go after getting in touch with rock music. If there is a chance, they can exchange experiences.

"Yeah, so since we're both in the light music club, I always feel like I don't want to lose to them..." After hearing that Nakamura Minato had listened to it himself, Akiyama Mio stopped pressing the play button.

"Lose...?" Nakamura Mine held up his chin and looked at everyone talking and laughing. Even Goto Ichiri, who was worried at the beginning whether he would be disliked, would occasionally interject a word or two. He didn't know why, but his heart now felt unusually peaceful.

"I think that we will neither lose nor need to win." Nakamura Mine said calmly. He himself was a little surprised as to why he said that. Originally, he just wanted to say something high-sounding like the light music club would not give anyone any help, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he ended up saying more.

"Huh?" Akiyama Mio was unable to understand for a moment.

"I am, Mio, is the reason you are so anxious to practice really just because of that tape?"

"If I'm overthinking it, I apologize, but I always feel that since the last time you watched us finish the band's performance, you've been practicing alone in the light music club more often." While speaking, Nakamura Mine didn't look at Akiyama Mio, but instead looked at the bright starry sky.

After hearing what Nakamura Mine said, Akiyama Mio's expression became obviously unnatural. Nakamura Mine did not rush to ask anything, but just waited quietly.

In fact, she didn't hesitate for too long before Akiyama Mio nodded and acknowledged it.

"Well, it's true. Compared to the light music club that I've never really met, after seeing your performance in the performance hall before, you guys who are the same age as us, I can feel the difference more. Especially you, Mine. Tsumugi told me that your level is not like that of a high school student at all..."

"No, even if Tsumugi didn't say so, I can see that although you are sometimes unreliable, you are really a very good person, especially in music. I heard Tsumugi say that she had never heard the piano piece you played this morning. Could it be that..."

"Well, it's original, but it's just a simple piece, nothing to praise."

"It's already amazing enough. It's a very nice song. Just listening to a short clip of it can calm people down. By the way, does that song have a name?" Akiyama Mio asked with some anticipation.

(It must be a beautiful name, right?)

"What's the name of the song..." Nakamura Mine was confused. In fact, the song was "Kikujiro's Summer". Although he shamelessly said that it was his original creation, he couldn't just tell the other party the name. He didn't know anyone named Kikujiro. Although it could be directly translated into summer, it would be a bit boring...

"The name is... "Summer of Nakamura-mine"."

Even Nakamura Mine felt ashamed after saying this.

"......" After a moment of stunned expression, Akiyama Mio couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Pfft~ They actually named it after themselves... Hehehe~" Akiyama Mio tried her best to stop laughing, but it didn't work. She couldn't help it when she thought of the name of the song.

"You're laughing so happily. Very good. I'll change it. From now on, the name of the song will be officially "Mio's Summer." Facing Akiyama Mio's ridicule, Nakamura Mine blushed first, and then revealed a weird smile.

"Eh? Eh——!?" After being stunned for a moment, Akiyama Mio was terrified. A song named after her, what if, what if, if this song really becomes popular in the future, hiss~! That kind of thing is not allowed!!! She will definitely be too ashamed to leave the house!

“No, no, no, no, no!” Akiyama Mio shook her head like Pochi.

"Okay, it's settled. As the original creator, I have the absolute right to name it. I can veto any objection. It's settled. Wow~ It's a really good name." Nakamura Mine patted Akiyama Mio on the shoulder, expressing her outstanding contribution to this song.

After the panic subsided, Akiyama Mio actually chuckled.

"What's wrong? Do you feel a lot more relaxed?" Nakamura Mine stood up and stretched before continuing to sit down.

"The light music club is just like this. There's no need to compare it with anyone else."

"Hong Xia and the others... all those who have ended the band have their own clear goals, so everyone will work hard for their own goals. I don't have any special goals, but I will never slack off in order to help them."

"Everyone in the band is a like-minded companion, so they tolerate each other and help each other improve, but the light music department is much simpler."

"simple......?"

"Well, in the light music club, even just chatting and eating snacks is enough to make us happy. The reason why we rush to the club as soon as possible after school every day is actually just this simple reason. Don't get me wrong, I didn't say that the idea of ​​needing to practice is wrong. I just mean that the light music club is just our light music club, and we won't lose to anyone else."

"The light music club is just our light music club..." Akiyama Mio repeated what Nakamura Mine said. She seemed to understand something, but she had more doubts. She had this doubt for a long time, but she always thought it was just her illusion. She always felt that Nakamura Mine seemed to know them very well a long time ago. When Tiananaka Ritsu invited her to join the light music club, when Kotobuki Tsumugi joined the band, when she discovered absolute pitch, and including the most recent time, when Kotobuki Tsumugi said that her family had a villa, Nakamura Mine always acted as if he knew everything, as if he had known that things would turn out like this.

"Feng, can I ask you something?" Akiyama Mio asked cautiously.

"Hmm? Of course, just ask."

"Why did you agree so decisively when Ritsu asked you to join the light music club? Even if you and Ritsu had met once, we shouldn't have been familiar with each other at that time, right?" Akiyama Mio finally asked the question that had been hidden in her heart for a long time.

Hearing this question from Akiyama Mio, Nakamura Mine looked a little dazed. He really wanted to answer the question honestly, but he couldn't because no one would believe him. Even if they believed him, it might not be a good result.

"We're ready! Tsumugi, let's light it up!"

Nakamura Mine let out a breath and then put on a smile.

"The reason is simple, because I know I will definitely like it..."

"preparation!"

boom!

The fireworks lined up in a row burst into life at the same time, brilliant and dazzling, like a fountain of light under the dim night sky, but this also prevented Akiyama Mio from hearing the words that Nakamura Mineka said.

"Then the last song! Let's start!" Hirasawa Yui walked slowly to the fountain of light with her guitar on her back, and played the guitar happily but without any plan. Even so, it was still dazzling, and no one could take their eyes off her.

"Goto-san, let's go too!" Kita Ikuyo grabbed the hand of Goto Ichiri and ran to Hirasawa Yui's side. Goto Ichiri looked at the two people's impromptu performance in panic, and his brain was unable to process the current situation for a moment. In desperation, he could only dance the party dance that he had practiced alone before, but the movements were like a puppet in the hands of an unskilled puppeteer, and the behavior was extremely strange.

"Interesting..." Yamada Ryo had taken out his cell phone and turned on the recording function without him noticing.

"Don't record the video casually... Forget it, send me a copy later." Ijichi Hongxia subconsciously wanted to stop it, but after looking at the interesting scene, she changed her mind.

(I'll show it to my sister when I get home.)

Standing on both sides of the fireworks, Ritsu Tainanaka and Tsumugi Kotobuki looked at the glittering scene in front of them, their eyes also shining.

Beautiful objects are ultimately short-lived, and fireworks gradually fade away.

"Oh yeah~oh yeah~eh? Is this the end?"

The light around him disappeared, and Pingze Wei looked around with lingering interest.

"Well, the budget is limited."

"There will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

Tiananaka Ritsu and Kotobuki Tsumugi also stood up and brushed off the dust on their hands.

"Hey~ Pochi, it's time to end it~" Ijichi Hongxia shouted with her hands in front of her mouth in a trumpet shape.

"Eh? Ah! Hmm..." Goto Ichiri then stopped his wonderful dance.

"Hahaha~ Xiao Yili is so weird~" Hirasawa Yui said with a smile.

"No, no, no~ You are the least qualified to say this here!" Tianzhong Ritsu couldn't help but complain.

“Huh??! Why?!”

"Strange, strange..." Goto Ichiri took two steps back, with anxiety in his eyes.

(Strange = different = not fitting in = isolated = hated by everyone)

(Nooooooooooo!!!)

Without any warning, Goto Ichiri held his head and moaned.

"Although it's strange, Xiao Yili is really interesting!" Hirasawa Yui said again after casually plucking the strings.

"interesting......"

(Interesting = eye-catching = popular = big star!)

Goto Ichiri is resurrected with full health.

"Huh? Ah, wait, Feng, what did you just say?" Finally coming out of the dream-like scene just now, Akiyama Mio hurriedly asked.

"Uh, haha~ ha~ I can't say such embarrassing words a second time." Nakamura Mine scratched his hair embarrassedly. He didn't know what happened just now that he actually said such embarrassing words that might even become his black history. However, after secretly glancing at Akiyama Mio, he felt that the other party really didn't hear it clearly, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

(Shy...? I just heard Feng say that he would definitely like her... and he would be shy, huh? Hmm... Could it be that! Then, who was the one who said that?! I asked why he agreed to let Ritsu join the light music club, could it be that he was talking about Ritsu, but if that's the case, why would he say that to me, could it be that...)

Bang~!

Akiyama Mio's head contributed the final fireworks to this summer.

"Eh!? Mio!?"

inform

Let me first tell you about the situation. You all know that my update status has always been very unstable. As for the reason, I have never wanted to explain it, because I think it has nothing to do with the book. It’s just that this time it’s a little special.

First of all, there was no exception to the reason for the previous interruption, it was all because of work. I am a modeler who does character modeling for 3D animation, and I work in an outsourcing company. It has been two years since I graduated and now I have been working here to be honest. I have said in the comments before that I have been working overtime recently, but people who don’t know me may have no idea. When we get busy, we basically work overtime starting at o'clock in the evening, and it is common to work until the early morning or even all night.

To be honest, I really can't hold on any longer with the burden of writing the novel. But the reason why this time is special is that I learned from my sister today that my grandfather is dying in the hospital. This is the first time I've encountered such a situation. Rather than panicking, I'm more confused. I've experienced what it means to have a brain crash. And then I didn't care about work and just left. I didn't answer the calls from the producer, director, boss, or team leader just now. I will call my boss tomorrow to tell him about my resignation, but I will probably have to stay for another month. This is my first job, so I'm not too sure.

It's strange that I was so immersed in work a few days ago that I didn't think about this book at all, but now I suddenly remembered it. It's probably because I don't have anyone to complain to in this city where I don't have many friends.

Back to the topic, I will finish writing this book, but I feel a little confused now and need to take a break. Don't worry, I am an adult after all, and I believe that I have good self-regulation ability, so I won't keep you waiting too long.

I apologize here and thank you.
