Heavy girl? I feel worse than Black Hole Trigger!

So he prepared to take off his glasses, "Sorry, I——"

"But since I can't sell it at all, I'll just give it to you."

"……Eh?"

She took a closer look.

It turned out that while the girl was fiddling with her glasses, the suspicious man in sunglasses was already packing up his stall. He had just finished packing up the other goods and was carrying his bass case, as if he was about to leave.

So the girl quickly stopped him and said, "I can't accept such a valuable thing!"

"Don't worry, the materials for the glasses only cost a few tens of thousands. The expensive part is the craftsmanship." Zhe Li chuckled, looking at the glasses still on the girl's nose, and said, "If you like them, keep them. I was just doing it for fun anyway. You said you were a member of the student union, right? Having a pair of glasses like this should be a lot more convenient."

"Hmm..." The girl was speechless for a moment. After all, she had only asked for the price because she was really tempted.

Although she regretted it as soon as she said it - because she knew she couldn't afford it.

Zhe Li didn't intend to guess what she was thinking. He waved to her as a goodbye and walked away.

"Okay, I'm going to RiNG next. If you want to go there, just follow me."

"Hey, wait—Huh! Already gone?!"

The girl looked around for a while before she gritted her teeth, turned around and chased after him.

Lost Star Chapter 11 Summer Time Record: Chapter Promise

The vibration of the speaker was still lingering on the last note, but the girl had already put away the pick.

"Oh, Lenai, is it okay now?" The clerk's tone was clearly filled with surprise.

"Yeah. That's enough."

——Even if I play it again, I won’t be satisfied.

Kaname Lenai looked down at his old electric guitar for a while.

"Still, can't 'breathe'."

How strange. I was clearly "breathing" here last time.

She thought as she put away her guitar.

Last time...ah.

An idea suddenly occurred to her, and she squatted next to the store clerk, Shinji Rinrinko, who was packing up the wires.

"People like clouds—" Lenai paused, "Zheli, are you here today?"

"Zhe...ah, are you talking about that guest who's been coming here a lot lately?" Shinji Rinrinko's expression was a little strange, but she quickly returned to normal. After thinking carefully for a moment, she smiled helplessly and said, "Sorry, I don't remember. But I don't think he comes to RiNG every day. Shouldn't you contact him directly?"

Lenai blinked, said nothing, and turned to leave, holding the cart by hand.

Only Rinrinko was left watching her departing back with some annoyance.

In front of RiNG's door, a man was arguing with a young girl.

“I can pay in installments!”

"unnecessary."

"Then... give me a discount."

"trouble."

"30% off! ... No, 5, no! 30% off!"

"Do you have some weird disease that will kill you if you don't pay?"

“I just feel very uncomfortable!”

"Why are you such a nagging woman?"

"I'm a girl!"

"Why are you such a nagging girl?"

"Oh, really! It makes me so angry!"

"...Why are you angry instead?"

what.

The man looked up suddenly. It turned out that while the two of them were arguing, they had unknowingly walked to the door of RiNG.

So he pointed at the "RiNG" sign and said to the girl who was puffing up her cheeks and looking angry:

"Look, this is RiNG. There's a music store on the first floor."

"Gulp..." The pink-haired girl symbolically confronted him for a while.

Zhe Li added, "If you really don't know how to choose, just ask the store clerks. They're all nice people."

...They are very good at sweet-talking you and making you spend your money without realizing it.

Mr. Baodeng Zheli, who did not want to reveal his name, made this comment.

The girl snorted, turned around and ran towards RiNG. After a few steps, she turned back and said seriously, "I'll pay you next time! ...Installation payment! Don't forget!"

"Yes Yes."

Then you have to make sure I will stay there...

Zhe Li looked at the girl's back with amusement before following her into RiNG.

As soon as you enter the door, you can see a pink-haired girl chatting with the store clerk in high spirits.

What else can I say? This is Yangjiao POWER.

"Ok?"

Just as I was about to go to the cafe on the second floor to wait for Lenai, I saw Lenai pulling her trailer and preparing to go downstairs.

Eyes facing each other.

"Hi." Zheli raised his hand and waved. "Xiao Lenai, you're here so early today?"

Lenai tilted her head, "Early?"

"Well... maybe I'm just too late."

It's more like they just agreed to play in a band, and didn't agree on any practice time at all...

Not long ago, Bao Deng Zheli was reflecting on whether he had imitated Lenai and been too casual.

Le Nai stared at the Zheli downstairs with her watery eyes open for a while, then suddenly spoke -

"I went to school well today."

Zhe Li nodded, "Oh, that's a good thing."

"I kept my promise." Lenai said again.

“…” Zhe Li opened his mouth in surprise at first, and then a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.

"so……"

The silver-haired girl was hanging her head.

"The band...want to play?"

The sound was almost like a murmur.

Then,

"Of course." She heard someone say in all seriousness, "Didn't we make an appointment?"

The girl looked up quietly.

It turned out that before she knew it, Zhe Li had walked up the stairs and stopped two steps lower than her.

Sky-blue eyes met hers.

Reflecting her own face.

So she blinked.

"Ah."

He gave a faint smile.

……

"Turns out there are no studios available today."

Leaning against the wall with his bass on his back, Baodeng Zheli felt a little distressed.

Although I can reserve a time slot in the exhibition hall next weekend and have confirmed the date of the official performance, the recording studio for practice is much more popular than the exhibition hall.

If you think about it, one of them is a cheat, and the other has obviously received a gifted education. In theory, it is not impossible for them to go on stage without practice - but isn't it the case that being in a band is all about having these memories of practicing together?

At least, Zheli felt that Lena enjoyed playing with his companions more than performing on stage.

In this case, we can't just temporarily play and rely on talent and plug-ins to win.

Le Nai, who was also leaning against the wall beside him, tilted her head to look at his profile. "Not today?"

"I'm too late today. I should have made an appointment last time."

"Really?" Lenai responded.

For some reason, although the tone sounded very calm at first, Zheli could gradually feel the emotions in Le Na's words - for example, the frustration at this moment.

Zhe Li pondered for a moment and then said:

"But if you just want to practice, there are places to go. Do you want to come?" "Yes."

The self-built recording studio of the coffee shop Nascita is fully equipped and can provide more than enough space for two people to practice.

He hadn't considered this before, having only a few concerns about an adult inviting a middle school student to his home. But since he was a decent person, he decided to just give it a try and ask Lenai if she wanted to—

Eh?

"……what did you just say?"

"I want to go." Lenai came closer to him and said again.

"Don't you want to think about it carefully?" "Yes."

"I haven't even said where yet." "Yes."

The two men, one tall and one short, looked at each other for a long time.

Lenai tilted her head, "No?"

"……Can."

It's a miracle that you can live to such an old age.

At this point, Zhe Li had nothing more to say. He waved his hand and said, "Let's go!"

"Oh--"

Lenai half-raised his arm in response in a very supportive manner.

Nagasaki Suyo looked through the glass on the door and saw a sign with the word "CLOSE" hanging inside.

Is it closed today? It was open last week...

She subconsciously stroked her fingernails.

I turned on the phone screen and took a look. It turned out that I had been waiting here for more than ten minutes. No wonder I started to feel a little cold.

"Let's go back today..."

Next time I'll ask the store manager for the exact opening hours.

This cafe cannot be found on Google Maps. Searching for the name "nascita" directly only returns an Italian dictionary meaning "birth", but there is no information about this cafe at all.

It’s as if the coffee shop was “born” out of thin air.
