Chapter 48: The Quest for the Existence

"Okay, so strong..."

After listening to a song on Shengren's phone, Nakano Azusa couldn't help but sigh.

Although there are no lyrics, it is just a piece of pure music—

But not only does it have a variety of rhythms, it also perfectly blends together many instruments and parts such as violin, cello, guitar, keyboard, etc.

Moreover, so many sound effects...

This has probably surpassed the level of a band and reached the level of an orchestra performance, right?

"Oh……"

Kotobuki Tsumugi also listened with great interest.

"This, this, this, this is not rock at all! There's not even a drum beat!"

Seeing that everyone was immersed in it, Tianzhong Ritsu couldn't help but refute.

Stand up, don’t sit, the slippery eggs are the best!

Is it rock and roll just because there are drum beats?

However, before Katsutomo could retort, Akiyama Mio had already punished her.

"If you want to play, feel free to do so. I have to do my job."

As Shengren said this, he locked himself in a small room next to him, put on headphones, turned on his computer, and started working.

The few people who remained in the performance room looked at each other.

"It's rare to see so many musical instruments here..."

Kotobuki Tsumugi said this while standing in front of a keyboard.

"It would be a shame if you didn't play it. Besides, there's a left-hand bass here, right, Mio~"

Tianzhong Ritsu looked at Akiyama Mio teasingly, only to see her eyes fixed on the left-hand bass on the wall again...

"Well... done."

About an hour passed.

Shengren leaned back and looked at the computer in front of him, the song that had been completed.

"Two guitars, bass, drums, keyboard melodies, and the necessary effects are all arranged..."

Of course, because Shengren had already been thinking about the arrangement on the way here, he was able to finish the work in about an hour once he sat down.

Next, it’s time to play with musical instruments…

Katsuto took off his headphones and prepared to leave the room, but...

"Slippery egg~"

Outside, Sister Wei and her light music section seemed to be still playing.

Then wait a moment.

Shengren listened to the slippery egg that he had previously described as "cheesy, cute, and sweet" -

Light and fluffy time.

Of course, his evaluation has not changed.

but……

At this moment, Shengren suddenly came up with an idea.

He pushed open the door when a song of Sakura High School's light music club ended.

"Well, can you do me a favor?"

"Ok?"

"I wrote a song for someone..."

Katsuto said frankly.

"This song has two guitars, a bass, a drum and keyboards. If I were alone, I would have to play each part one by one and then mix it."

"Ushiromiya-kun, would you like us to help you play?"

Kotobuki Tsumugi turned and looked at him.

…At first, Shengren did think so.

Of course it is more joyful for everyone to play together in one go rather than playing separately and then mixing.

But is there anything happier than this?

Of course there are.

That is, not recording in a studio.

Just go and have a live show.

This is what is called getting something and wanting more.

Katsuto bypasses Akiyama Mio and Hirasawa Yui—

Came in front of Nakano Azusa.

He bent down to keep his eyes level with the petite girl.

"Nakano-san, can you form a makeshift band with me and open a live show?"

"Eh?"

Nakano Azusa obviously didn't expect that Katsuto would come to her.

However, this is actually inevitable.

First, Katsuto himself was going to use a guitar, so he only needed another one.

Although she is one grade lower, Nakano Azusa's skills are better than Hirasawa Yui's.

To be honest, Katsutomo has lived in this city of girl bands for so long.

Even among all the bands and guitarists he has listened to, Azusa Nakano's skills are among the best.

"Hey, hey, hey, are you planning on stealing our girl?"

Tianzhong Ritsu tapped the drumstick twice.

"So it's a request for help... If you don't want to, forget it."

"No, that's not the case..."

After all, Katsutomo is the younger brother of Hirasawa Yu and Hirasawa Yui, so there is no need for Nakano Azusa to refuse the request as long as it is not too excessive.

"Can you show me the score?"

"Oh, let's add each other as friends and I'll send you the music score."

When Nakano Azusa saw the picture sent over, he took a quick look at it.

"Well, it's not that difficult..."

As she spoke, she picked up a guitar and tried to play it twice.

"May I?"

Nakano Azusa raised his head and looked at Katsuto.

"That's great! Thank you so much."

Katsuto held Nakano Azusa's hands with both of his, which made her a little flattered.

"No, that's not necessary..."

Of course, Shengren didn't plan to hold it for too long.

"You guys continue playing, I'm going back."

"Back to where?"

Hirasawa Yui was slightly stunned.

"Of course it's Yamabuki Bakery. Uncle and aunt will be worried if I go back too late."

Shengren came to the door and prepared to push it open to go out.

And just then.

"Rong wang!"

Hirasawa Yui grabbed the hem of his clothes.

"Stay today."

"..."

"Is it okay? Is it okay?"

Hirasawa Wei shook her head, and seeing that Shengren was still thinking, she even rolled on the ground without any restraint.

By the way, Hirasawa Yui is allergic to air conditioning.

It's not a big deal in the winter because there is floor heating, but in the summer, Hirasawa Yui will roll on the ground while being blown by the electric fan.

Hirasawa Yuu thought this was cute.

Shengren didn’t understand before, but now…

Sister You, you are right.

I was too young at that time.

"Ah, I lost to you."

"Great! I'm going to sleep with Rongwang today!"

Amid Hirasawa Yui's cheers, Katsutomo told Yamabuki Saya on the phone about his stay in the sky villa today.

It seemed that she thought that since she had a sky villa, she should sleep there, so Yamabuki Saya didn't ask any further questions.

"yeah!"

Ignoring Hirasawa Yui's cheers.

Katsuto took out his cell phone and found Hachiman Kailing's contact information.

[Katsuto: Please help me.]

[Yawata Kairin: What?]

[Shengren: I want to form a temporary band and sing a song live, I need a bassist]

[Yawata Kairin: So, since you already owe me a favor, you want to owe me another one? ]

[Katsuto: I'll pay according to the rules, okay? Or do I have to remember the favor even when I'm booking your time?]

[Hachiman Kairin: ...When? ]

[Katsuto: Let’s schedule it for this weekend. The piece is not difficult, and there is no need for joint practice. Here is the score…]

After a while.

[Yawata Kairin: Okay, let me know when the specific time is set]

After thanking Hachiman Kailing, Katsuto contacted Maria through the channel of supporting musicians.

After finalizing the cooperation intention.

[Why do you have to wear such a difficult mask to perform?]

Shengren couldn't help but ask.

[Maria: Due to my job, I am not able to show my face. Please forgive me~]
