Heavy girl? I feel worse than Black Hole Trigger!

"...Why do I feel like you know her so well?" The girl couldn't help but pout and mutter.

"So it's just life experience. It's okay if you don't believe it."

Zhe Li picked up his bowl and chopsticks and started eating again, mumbling, "Anyway, if you need any help, just come to me! Don't look at me like this, I'm still an adult, so a small matter won't be too difficult for me."

"I didn't say I didn't believe it—" Nagasaki Suyo paused for a moment.

A pair of gentle eyes finally rested on the man in front of her.

"...I want Zheli to see the day when we officially perform."

I want you to see how hard I try to do something.

Zhe Li glanced at Su Shi and smiled faintly. "Then it seems you'll have to work harder for this."

"Yeah." Su Shi smiled, raised his head, and hummed with his nose turned up.

"Xiangzi is just as inexplicably confident as you are. Lixi seems difficult to get along with. Deng never seems to sing, and Mu never says anything. I can't figure out what he's thinking..." She counted on her fingers for a long time, her brows furrowed slightly, but she still smiled. "It seems like just getting everyone together to play a good piece is difficult."

Zhe Li smiled and said, "You seem very happy."

"Haha..." Su Shi also chuckled, "Because this makes the effort more worthwhile."

"What a youth."

Su Shi rolled her eyes at him and said, "You speak like an old man."

"Compared to you, I am indeed an old man."

"Even though he's an old man, he's still the most handsome old man." Su Shi tapped her cheek with her finger and smiled slightly: "At the last concert, I saw many girls watching you leave with affection in their eyes."

"Hey! There's a mirror in RiNG's exhibition hall?"

"……loquacious."

Nagasaki Suyo suddenly couldn't think of anything to refute, so she could only pout and lower her head to poke at the rice in the bowl.

After a while, she raised her eyes again and spoke crisply:

"Can you practice bass with me today?"

Baodeng Zheli said without even looking up, "It's not good to go home too late."

"Oh." The girl's face drooped like a deflated balloon.

"But if we finish dinner early, we'll have some time—"

Su Shi increased the speed at which he ate his rice.

"But there's no need to eat too fast." Zhe Li said as soon as he heard the noise: "If it's too late, I will still take you back."

Su Shi put down the tamagoyaki she had just picked up.

“…And you’re not allowed to deliberately slow down.”

Only then did Su Shi pick up the tamagoyaki with chopsticks and put it into her bowl.

Baodeng Zheli pretended to be indifferent and glared at the hidden smile on her lips.

——No matter how much she looks like a mature and steady young lady at first glance, Nagasaki Suyo is still a little girl at heart.

There will be youthful worries, there will be conflicts with girls of the same age, there will be desire to play pranks on someone, and secretly laugh at their helpless reactions.

A little bit of selfishness, a little bit of indulgence, a little bit of bad intentions...

It was just a little bit, but she was like a child who tasted candy for the first time, holding the leftover candy wrapper tightly and unwilling to let go.

Both cute and pitiful.

"Ugh."

So the man's cold face finally melted into a slightly sweet smile.

"Okay, stop messing around. Finish eating quickly, clean up, and make the most of the time to practice."

“Yes~?”

It was like making up for the girl's lost childhood.

"There's no place for me here... There's no place for me..."

The lead singer Takamatsu Touma's subtle voice was obscured by the heavy melody and could not be heard.

"—Hey. Are you really motivated?"

Drummer Shiina Riki finally couldn't stand it anymore, stopped beating the snare drum, and said coldly.

Gao Songdeng quickly closed the notebook with the lyrics and looked into the full-length mirror. She saw Li Xi sitting in front of the drum set. She opened her mouth to say something, but no words came out.

"Okay, okay." Now it was Nagasaki Suyo who had to come out to smooth things over.

"Xiao Deng can already make sounds, which is a great improvement. Li Xi, please don't be too hard on her."

Toyokawa Shoko, who was standing by, also frowned. "That's strange. I could sing it on the overpass yesterday."

……

"You wrote the lyrics, so it would be better if you sang it yourself."

"——Because, the lyrics of "Light" are a cry from the heart."

……

My inner cry...

Recalling what Toyokawa Shoko said to him at that time, Takamatsu Deng couldn't help but open his notebook again.

I gaze deeply at the words I left behind...

"Overpass?"

Li Xi caught the key words and repeated them.

Su Shi also turned her gaze to Xiangzi.

Sushi remembered that Xiangzi and Gao Songdeng went home together last night. So, they passed by the overpass and... sang on it? Although it sounded a bit magical, Sushi thought back on Xiangzi Toyokawa's actions so far and felt that it was indeed something that this girl who had not fully grown up would do.

Was it a lucky coincidence? She actually managed to convince Takamatsu Deng to be the lead singer.

But it seems that it is still a little lacking.

Su Shi pondered, "Is it because I get nervous in the recording studio?"

"Hmm, hmm..." Takamatsu Deng covered his face with his notebook.

Su Shi looked at Deng's back and suddenly an idea came to her mind.

"Ah, yes..."

●

The slender fingertips pinched the pick, and the melody like a raging wave shook the entire cafe.

Kaname squinted her eyes and waited for the sound waves to subside before opening them and looking at Baodeng Zheli. "How is it?"

"Runa is too strong. He can defeat five... no, two and a half thousand Zeli."

Zheli clapped his hands.

His tone and applause sounded a bit perfunctory, but it seemed to be enough for Lenai: the silver-haired girl snorted and turned up her nose, putting her hands on her hips and looking like she was amazing.

The two of them are working on new songs.

Since the next concert has been scheduled, of course we have to prepare new songs.

Perhaps due to the influence of the "girl band" concept, Zhe Li discovered that a large portion of music creation in the world over the past 20 years has come from women. In other words, almost all musical talent in the world has been concentrated in women.

This is actually nothing, after all, inspiration is something that depends on luck. In such a two-dimensional world, it is to form the "result" of the "era of big girl bands", and naturally form such a trend of the times.

However, for people from another world like Bao Deng Ze Li, the most intuitive feeling is:

Hey, why are all those divine songs gone?

——As a traditional two-dimensional person, Vocaloid is definitely an integral part of my childhood.

Whether you are familiar with it or not, there must be one or two songs by V family that exist in the memories of old 2D fans.

For example, Bao Dengzeli likes "Deep Sea Girl" very much.

But inexplicably, this world doesn't even have Vocaloids - perhaps because there is an overabundance of musical talent in this world, the Vocaloid Ps who should have existed have chosen to debut directly in the mainstream as musicians.

At first, I could still stay out of it and think, "Wow, what a simple and convenient setup." But once I wanted to officially start band activities with Lenai like now, I really realized that the songs in my memory were missing in this world. I finally heard a familiar melody, but it was sung by a completely unfamiliar voice.

I couldn't help but feel a little lonely.

Copying the popular songs from the previous life to make a fortune for himself... Zhe Li had thought about it, but after thinking for a few seconds, he gave up the idea.

Although he now has a photographic memory and can perfectly search every memory of the past, the problem is that he has never seen the music scores of these famous songs before. He has to play the instruments himself and correct them bit by bit towards the "correct version" before he can restore those famous songs from his previous life.

Although it was a nearly completed song and could be performed directly as a commercial work, it was a little different from the original version in Baodeng Zheli's mind, but not so different that it was unrecognizable.

That's why it feels awkward.

It would be good to show this "semi-finished product" to others and receive criticism. If he was praised by everyone... uh, he would vomit.

This can also be said to be the arrogance that is unique to time travelers.

——What is in memory is the most beautiful.

"What's the name of this song?" Lenai's question interrupted Zheli's thoughts.

He looked at the girl's heterochromatic eyes and said with a smile:

"サムライハート〉 (Samurai Heart/Some Like It Hot!!)."

The fourth single by the rock band "SPYAIR," it is widely known as the ending theme song for the TV anime "Gintama."

Like "Sunset", it is one of the famous songs that has been preserved in this world.

"Sing," Lenai said.

"……Now?"

Zhe Li looked around.

The area where Lenai was standing was the open mic area that Nascita had recently added.

One day, Bao Dengzheli suddenly had an idea to imitate the kind of bar where stand-up comedians could perform, so he set aside an area in his own cafe.

However, given the number of customers in his shop, the best he could do was wait for a stray cat like Lenai to come and brush the strings a few times, or like today, he could lend his soundproof room to Su Shi and the others, and then he and Lenai could only do some simple practice outside.

I really hope Lenai can give me advance notice next time she comes.

In short, in such an open space, it is okay to just play a short piece of music, but if you really sing, it will disturb others.

Although he didn't know whether he had any neighbors.

"……Well."

However, since the cafe is closed today, all the rolling doors are pulled down, which probably provides some sound insulation.

"Okay, sing. But only for today..."

……

"Hey!! Hey!! I'm the only one who can achieve my own success!"

"Even if you cry, you must smile; even if you hate, you must love; live on!"

"Hey!! Hey!!——Samurai Heart!"

——The music suddenly stopped.

At this moment, Nagasaki Suyo suddenly came to her senses, walked out from behind the door, and looked at the man standing in front of the microphone with an apologetic look:

"Sorry, did I disturb you?"

"Huh? No." Zheli tilted his head in confusion. Le Nai beside him did the same.

The Blood Star people have hell ears, and they noticed Su Shi and the others' presence when they opened the door of the soundproof room.

However, neither Zheli nor Lenai were rock masters who would be affected by this little commotion, and they still played the song perfectly. Instead, Su Shi and the others waited behind the door for a while when they heard Zheli and the others playing.

"……Oh."
