People are in the music show, but the Yorozuya

Noticing the deep dark circles under Shiina Riki's eyes and the fatigue that was hard to conceal, Otonashi Kanata couldn't help but ask with some concern.

You have to know that composing music itself is not an easy task. Shiina Tatsuki can write a song in just a few days. Unless she is a genius, the effort she puts in is absolutely unimaginable for ordinary people.

Her dark circles and tired mental state also clearly showed that she was not a genius.

I'm so stressed out. When this girl gets angry, she won't even let herself go?

"...I didn't stay up late."

Shiina Riki turned his head away and spoke in a low voice.

She really didn't stay up late, she just pulled all-nighters for three nights and then caught up on her sleep during the day while attending classes.

"Lixi, are you okay? Don't work too hard."

Hearing what Otonashi Sota said, Takamatsu Deng immediately looked at her worriedly.

"Deng, I really have no problem with that. Anyway, the music is already written and we can rehearse now. So, are you guys okay with the LIVE thing?"

Shiina Riki mentioned the LIVE again, she really cares about it.

"Why not just forget it..."

As Otono Sota expected, Chihaya Aine was the first to back out.

After all, among all the people, only her guitar skills are worrying. If she wants to practice the new song before the LIVE, she will definitely be under the greatest pressure. So it is natural that Chihaya Aine, who likes to play in the band in a relaxed manner, is afraid.

"After all, our band has only been together for less than a month. It's too early to participate in a live performance now. Besides, we don't even have a band name yet... If we make a mistake during the performance, won't we be nailed to the pillar of shame?"

Chihaya Aine tried to use legitimate reasons to convince everyone to refuse this LIVE.

"That's why we need to rehearse!"

Shiina Riki's voice became louder. She stared at Chihaya Aine and said seriously,

"Our band is currently lacking a goal, and participating in this LIVE is exactly that goal. Only when we have a goal can we be motivated to move forward. Otherwise, we will still be half-baked like before."

"The band Otonashi is a part of has already qualified for a live performance. They're also a band that's only been together for a month, and the lead singer has only just learned guitar... Are you trying to say we can't compare to them?"

"So what are everyone's opinions?"

Being suppressed by Shiina Riki, Chihaya Aine was unable to refute and could only look to others for help.

"I...want to participate."

Gao Songdeng said.

Although her previous band disbanded after participating in a LIVE, which left a big shadow on her, she always thought it was her own problem until she met Otonashi Sota.

But Takamatsu Deng will not back down this time, because she knows that with Kanata there, the band will never disband, so she can muster up the courage to participate in the LIVE.

(P.S. My Meow Mei is about to faint from rage. Can you guys please stop messing with my Meow God? Is she breaking down because she can't make money, or is she anxious to cash in and keeps urging her teammates, or is she afraid that her agency won't pay her, or is she leaking information in the live broadcast room in advance to cheat on her traffic, or is she being cunning and going on stage to open the box of her teammates, or is she sneaking into the training room to poach players, or is she disgusted with Xiangzi's lack of business operations, or is she backstabbing her band members? Ah, what? She did all of these things?!)



Chapter 102: Are we going to Lixi’s house?

"Whatever I say is fine, it depends on what everyone thinks."

Nagasaki Suyo said lightly.

"Zouzou..."

Chihaya Aine immediately looked at Otonashi Souta for help.

You should know that in this band, her relationship with Otonashi Sota is the best except for that of Takamatsu Teru. Usually when she is under pressure from Shiina Riki, it is Otonashi Sota who comes to comfort her and speak for her.

So Chihaya Aine is now eagerly hoping that Otonashi Sota will stand on her side and fight against the tyrant Riki with her.

"It's no use calling out to Otonashi. Otonashi, don't protect her this time. You'll only hurt her!"

Before Otonashi Sota could say anything, Shiina Riki blocked Otonashi Sota's mouth and said in a stern father's tone,

"This girl just doesn't like to work hard. She's always the first one to complain of being tired during rehearsals. This time, we can't let her do what she wants."

"I, I did try my best..."

After being glared at by Shiina Riki, Chihaya Aine's momentum weakened again. The main reason was that she knew that Shiina Riki was right. She really liked to be lazy and slack off...

But then again, her original purpose of joining the band was just to satisfy her vanity. Although her name was Aine, she didn't actually love music that much.

In the end, Chihaya Aine's objection was ineffective.

Shiina Riki successfully signed up and confirmed that the band will participate in the next LIVE.

To be honest, although it is a bit unfair to Chihaya Aine to say this, Otonashi Kanata feels that there is nothing wrong with Shiina Ritsuki this time.

A band does need a goal to move forward, just like ending the band. Hong Xia moves forward with the dream of making the band famous.

But their band still doesn't have a clear goal until now. After all, Deng Bao's original purpose of forming the band was just to let her friends stay with her for the rest of their lives. Do you think everyone can still move towards this goal of Yixiuni?

So the band was formed for more than half a month, but in fact everyone was just playing house in the rehearsal room. The fact that they haven't even mastered the first Kasuga Shadow is very telling.

However, this sudden LIVE opportunity seemed to Sota Otonashi as an opportunity to bring the band closer together.

All I can say is that without Shiina Tateki, this family will break up sooner or later!

The band may not have a gentle and loving mother like Hong Xia, but it must have a cold and strict father like Shiina Riki!

As for Chihaya Aine's problem...at worst he could just get her out to practice piano on the weekend.

Chihaya Aine needs to be whipped before she moves forward!

"Lixi really doesn't understand human nature. He's not gentle at all."

Looking at Shiina Riki applying for a rehearsal room at the front desk, Chihaya Aine couldn't help but complain to Otonashi Sota.

"Okay, okay, it's already happened. Instead of complaining, you might as well practice your guitar."

Looking at Chihaya Aine who had a resentful expression on her face, Otonashi Sota couldn't help but laugh.

"Zou Zou, whose side are you on? This is a great opportunity to win my favor. Can't you just go along with me and complain about Li Xi?"

Chihaya Aion poked Otono Souta's arm angrily.

"If we're not sisters, why should I try to win your favor?"

Otonashi Sota was a little speechless. Where did this girl come from?

"Of course it's because we are good friends."

Chihaya Aine said without hesitation,

"Can you bear to watch me being bullied by Li Xi?"

"I understand. Next time I'll close my eyes."

"Hey!"

After playing around with Chihaya Aine for a while, her mood improved again. Since she couldn't avoid the LIVE, she could only accept reality.

Soon, everyone came to the rehearsal room, and Shiina Tatsuki handed the printed music score to everyone.

"Everyone, please watch for a while. If you have any questions, you can ask me. If there are no problems, we will start rehearsing."

"Why doesn't this sheet music tell me how to press the fingers? I can't play it this way."

Chihaya Aine, a master of chords, was sweating profusely when she saw the music score that was not in tablature.

"Tsk, then just listen to the music and play along. I'll rewrite the sheet music for you later."

Shiina Riki frowned, then looked at Takamatsu Deng with some trepidation.

"Light, what do you think?"

"...feels, very warm."

Dengbao, as always, gave a relatively abstract evaluation.

"The light means it's great, right?"

Nagasaki Suyo guessed.

"what...."

After receiving the affirmation from his father, Shiina Riki couldn't help but show a relaxed expression on his face.

She had been working through the night for days, wasn't it just to create a song that would be worthy of Deng's lyrics? Now Deng was very satisfied, and she suddenly felt as if her tired body was injected with new strength.

Otonashi Sota took a look at the music score and thought, well...how should I put it, it's pretty average, a bit ordinary, but it's okay.

With his level of musical attainments, it was not difficult for him to see that there was still much room for improvement in this score, but he certainly would not be so foolish as to say it out loud in public.

After all, this music score was written by Shiina Riki who stayed up all night. I can't give him face in front of my friends, right? After all, Shiina Riki also put in the sweat.

He can just talk to Shiina Riki in private later.

However, Otonashi Sota's idea was good, but he forgot that there was a cat.

After looking at the music score for a few seconds, Maomao picked up the guitar without saying a word and started playing under the surprised gaze of others.

As Mao Mao played, the expression on Shiina Riki's face changed again and again.

Because she could clearly hear that although the song Maomao played was her own, she had obviously made changes in some places. These changes not only did not destroy the overall tone of the music, but made it sound better.

"...Wait a minute, I need to add that paragraph in."

Shiina Riki quickly took out his notebook, ready to write down what Mao Mao had just played and then make some changes to the score.

"I feel like this piece isn't as good as the one Kanata wrote."

Maomao put down his guitar and said casually.

Cats don't hide anything. They always say what they think and are consistent in their words and deeds.

Otonashi Souta: "..."

No, Lenai, is it okay to say that?

My buddy has always been nice to you, right? Why are you putting me on the spot now?

Don’t say anything that is not conducive to unity!

Shiina Riki's hand movements paused for a moment, and the expression on his face became complicated and gloomy.

Of course she knew how good Otonashi Sota's songwriting skills were. To be frank, they were in a completely different world from mortals like her.

Whether it is "Gradually Attracted to You" or "One Last Kiss", the lyrics and composition are so excellent that they are unattainable.

But she still wanted to compose the music herself, not for anything else, but because she wanted to prove that even a mortal could catch up with geniuses through hard work, and also for her selfish reasons... She wanted to compose music for the lyrics of Deng.

But what Lenai said now was undoubtedly a heavy blow to her.

The song she worked so hard to write was played by Kaname Rakuna in a better version in less than a minute. In the eyes of Otonashi Souta, wouldn't her song be as full of loopholes and ridiculous as a child's graffiti?

".....Otonashi, what do you think of the song I wrote?"

Shiina Riki looked straight at Oon Musota.

"Um... Overall it's OK. Some details could be improved with a few tweaks."

Otonashi Sota said tactfully.

Low EQ: The songs you write are very ordinary.

High EQ: There is still a lot of room for improvement in the music you write.

"Yeah...."

Although Otonashi Sota's words were very tactful, Shiina Ritsuki was not stupid and naturally understood that the 'some details' that Otonashi Sota mentioned might be more than just some.

But then again, after receiving Otonashi Sota's evaluation, she didn't feel too frustrated, but instead felt a sense of relief.

Perhaps it was because she knew from the beginning how huge the gap between them was, and this gave her self-awareness.

After all, if it was just an ordinary genius, like Xiangzi and her sister, she would still have the courage to catch up with them. If she was not as good as them, she would feel unwilling.

But if it is someone like Otonashi Sota, a genius among geniuses, a man among men, she would not have much intention to compare with him.

Because she knew that even her sister could not compare to Otonashi Sota.

If that's the case, then why does she still have to humiliate herself by comparing herself with others and then lamenting? Isn't that just looking for trouble?

After figuring this out, Shiina Riki let out a long breath, and his eyes gradually became clear.

"Otonashi, I'll revise the song later. Can you help me take a look?"
