You are Toyokawa Shoko, then who am I?

But after all, he is just an ordinary person born in an era without cucumber immortals.

If I had the Cucumber Immortal with me, I would be able to capture Senior Liang alive in one move!

On the other side, Li Xi sniffed, bit his lip, and threw all the random thoughts in his head behind him.

I was so stupid just now. I was fooled by these two people's acting skills without paying attention.

Xiang is not so bad, after all, he is undoubtedly a genius, and it is natural that he has good acting skills.

But this Yamada can actually keep up with Sho, and seems to have a good relationship with Sho. He can make Sho laugh with his skillful jokes, which is something I can't do.

No, I have to keep a closer eye on this guy.

"Sorry, Xiang, I lost my composure just now... Well, I'm ready again, let's start practicing."

Li Xi adjusted his state.

"Okay, remember not to put pressure on yourself. We're just practicing this time. If you can't keep up with the beat, you can improvise."

Toyokawa Sho instructed the two of them, "Did you hear clearly?"

"receive."

Yamada Ryo picked up the bass and connected it to the effects pedal.

"understood."

Lixi is also ready.

"Then I'll go turn on the sound card."

Toyokawa Sho walked forward and turned on the sound card placed on the box, ready to use it to record a song, and then returned to the two of them.

After giving each other a look, they closed their eyes and slowly searched for the feelings they wanted to express.

Bring these emotions into your heart, letting them grow and grow, until the emotions are strong enough to send out all the voices in your heart, then open your mouth and sing softly.

"Jun's servant, see you."

(You let me see)

"The world is so beautiful -? (How beautiful this world is)"

The song just ended.

Li Xi delivered a perfect drum beat, which, combined with the melody played by Toyokawa Sho's fingers, wove an extremely beautiful prelude.

Although she already knew the lyrics and had roughly memorized the rhythm of the drums on the way here, she still felt shocked when she actually heard Toyokawa Sho singing it.

It's truly a God-given voice...

The coordination between the emphasis and the mixed voice is almost perfect, and the vibrato at the end of the lyrics is also perfectly controlled, without any unnecessary length or haste.

Just two lines of lyrics fully demonstrate the basic skills that have been honed through thousands of times, and more importantly, it is different from the last performance in the practice room that was purely based on technique.

These two lines of lyrics by Toyokawa Sho are filled with strong emotions...!

Just like when they performed "The Old Man and the Sea" together on stage, every aspect was impeccable, both in terms of technique and emotional expression.

Li Xi felt his eyes moist for a moment. Being able to sing with emotion meant that Toyokawa Sho had finally gotten over the thing that made him tired and painful.

That's great.

"There is no room for living in the gaps between the bookshelves."

(Perched in the cracks of the bookshelf)

"One round of flowers."

(Flower of Gaoling)

"The servant is there.

(It is an existence that I cannot touch)"

Toyokawa Sho's strong and powerful fingers plucked the notes skillfully. The name of the song is "僕は……", which means "I" in Japanese.

He wanted to dedicate this song to Wakaba Mutsu.

But it’s just as he said before.

This song is also sung for Tatsuki Shiina.

"The words are so beautiful that they live in them."

(Hidden in the words)

"Honyin no kind はもう."

(The seed of truth)

"日の目も Bath びずに dry れていた.

(Withered before it could even bask in the sun.)"

Yamada Ryo looked at the bass sheet on the shelf and the handwritten lyrics on it, and felt a sense of ease in his heart.

It's strange to say, this was her first time playing with Toyokawa Sho, but she felt that she and he were quite compatible.

The friction that would normally occur was completely absent in the current ensemble. There was no strangeness or unfamiliarity, only a kind of tacit understanding that seemed to have been cultivated through years of practicing together.

The bass instrument is responsible for providing low-frequency sound in a rock band, just like there must be ground for the sky. If there is no bass in a song, its melody will sound very vague, without that catchy and three-dimensional feeling.

This is why people always say that bass and drums are a golden pair. In addition to the fact that they have great complementarity in sound range, another reason is that they are both mainly responsible for rhythm issues.

So logically speaking, compared to Toyokawa Sho who plays the main C with the electric guitar, Yamada Ryo, the bassist, should have a better understanding with Riki, the drummer.

But Toyokawa Sho's technique is so good that Yamada Ryo doesn't need to worry about anything else and can just pluck the strings according to his heart.

Compared to Shiina Tatsuki, whose skills are still a bit immature, Toyokawa Sho is the one who makes Yamada Ryo feel extremely comfortable.

Magic.

It's really magical.

Is there really someone in this world who not only matches my radio frequency, but also has musical instrument skills that far exceed my expectations?

...I think I understand a little bit.

Why does Shiina care about you so much?

There are so many different paths in this world, and it is a great fortune to meet someone who shares the same ideals as you.

Not only do you agree with my ideas, you can also follow my rhythm and my thoughts at will...

Yamada Ryo lowered his eyes silently.

She felt like she was a little envious of the bassist that Tatsuki Shiina had mentioned to her before, who had formed a band with Toyokawa Sho.

"zhou りと比べてはまた."

(Compared to the people around me)

"I feel so embarrassed."

(Falling into self-loathing again)

"灏なるんだそれでも.

(But even if I’m in deep fear)”

In this section, Yamada Ryo took the initiative to sing in the chorus. Her voice is very cool and clear. Just opening her mouth can make people feel refreshed and like being bathed in spring breeze.

She had not discussed this chorus with Toyokawa Sho before, but when the beat came, she opened her mouth involuntarily.

She looked at Toyokawa Sho next to her. This person noticed her intention and accurately gave her enough time to enter without any abruptness.

How on earth is this kind of thing done?

She blinked.

Suppressed many thoughts in my heart.

Then there is no need to look at each other or cooperate in advance.

She opened her mouth again.

Singing in chorus with Toyokawa Sho.

"Jun's full body."

(But everything about you)

"Save Yuki——

(You will still save me.)"

Chapter 63 The crying child gets candy.

When I first saw the lyrics.

Shiina Riki didn't think too much about it, he just thought it was a nice love song.

She hadn't listened to many love songs, and her interests and tastes didn't match, so she couldn't offer any constructive suggestions. She just thought that since the song was written by Toyokawa Sho, it must be a good song without a doubt.

She heard from Toyokawa Sho that some of the words in this song were also written for her, so when Toyokawa Sho was writing the music score on the table with paper and pen, she sat next to him and watched, and then she saw the first few words of the lyrics.

——The sincerity hidden in the words withered before it could bask in the sun.

——Compared to the people around me, I fell into self-loathing again.

These two lines of lyrics really touched her heart.

She had always felt that she was nothing compared to those who were truly talented.

Therefore, the lack of confidence in my heart will turn into a reef blocking my throat, and many words cannot be said, and I often feel that I am very bad.

She remembered the sincere words she had confessed to Toyokawa Sho on the overpass yesterday, and a warm feeling flowed through her heart.

Xiang was indeed remembering his own things.

Lixi likes the feeling of being understood.

It is very touching to think that someone can express the things in her heart through lyrics that she may not be able to express so accurately on her own.

So she naturally continued to read with expectation, but found that the lyrics at the end had nothing to do with her.

——It is you who let me see how beautiful this world is.

——I want to give you everything I have.

Obviously.

These lyrics are all written for Wakaba Mutsu.

Even the lyrics at the beginning that resonated with her were written specifically for Wakaba Mutsu.

The overall tone of the song is about a person who is lost inside and has no clear idea of the future. After meeting the person he likes, he sweeps away his previous decadence, musters up the courage to face life, and even feels that the world has become beautiful and dreamy because of it.

And isn’t this what is happening today?

Because he met Wakaba Mutsu again, Toyokawa Sho was able to cheer up again.

Even if we don't mention what happened today, Toyokawa Shoya still has the memory of his childhood with Wakaba Mutsu. Maybe when they were young, Wakaba Mutsu also helped Toyokawa Sho a lot.

No matter from which angle you look at it.

This song was written by Toyokawa Sho specifically for Wakaba Mutsu.

Lixi lowered her eyes silently, her black butterfly-like eyelashes covering the depression in her eyes. She waited patiently for Toyokawa Sho to finish writing the score and read it again.

However, no matter how you look at it, the only lyrics in the entire song that are related to her are the first few paragraphs.

She felt a little empty inside about this, but she didn't feel unsatisfied at all. This song was originally written by Toyokawa Sho specifically for Wakaba Mutsu, and it was great that he could mention her a few words in passing.

Just thinking back to what Toyokawa Sho had said to her before, that this song also had some words for her, she couldn't help but think about it more in her heart.

This song might...

It could also be about me.

The truth that cannot be told.

Self-loathing compared to those around you.
