Heavy girl? I feel worse than Black Hole Trigger!

"Okay." Xiao Mu was very frugal with words.

"I, I thought we had to practice today too." Xiao Deng said embarrassedly.

"It's okay with me. I was supposed to play at Nascita today anyway." Su Shi smiled.

Li Xi glanced at her silently: Have you ever not been playing here?

"That's fantastic!" Xiangzi clapped his hands happily. "Then without further ado—"

"Wait." Li Xi called out. She reached out and touched the lamp, turned the piano sheet on the table towards the lamp, looked at it and said, "Deng, can you hum along with this sheet?"

"what?"

Deng blinked, lowered his head to look at the music score, then shrank his neck and said softly:

"I'm sorry, I can't read the music..."

“—Look!”

Xiangzi, who had listened to the conversation between the two, was now showing a thoughtful expression when he saw Lixi glaring at him with a frown. He didn't know whether to say it was mean or helpless, and said in a cold voice:

"You only wrote the music, but didn't compose the song. How can you expect the lantern to sing?"

"Eh." Xiangzi was speechless.

She seemed to have never thought about this question.

The last time he sang "Song of Wanting to Become a Human", he first revealed the song (improvised) by singing and playing it in front of Deng, so Deng naturally remembered how to sing it... This time it was Xiangzi's first time to officially arrange the music. Although he had tried his best to make it perfect, and even carefully made separate scores for each instrument, he forgot the most important thing.

That is, Takamatsu Deng, as an amateur singer who changed careers halfway through, can't even read music!

So-called "fake songs" are primarily designed for amateur singers, such as idol singers. They serve as a template to show singers how a song will sound, allowing them to use it as a reference for their singing. Since lyrics may not be available upon completion, the composer typically hums a meaningless version of the song, though in rare cases, a professional singer may perform the song as a trial version.

And this time, Toyokawa Shoko...

Absolutely not, considering that Deng can’t sing by looking at the music score!

"Ah..." Li Xi sighed as he looked at Xiangzi's OvO expression. "In this case, you can only sing for Deng a few times later. I hope it won't take too long."

Takamatsu Deng clenched his fists to show his strong will, "I, I will try my best!"

"Eh? No, I'm not complaining about the lights—"

Li Xi hurriedly wanted to explain something, but Deng had already lowered his head and began to mutter some self-suggestive spell.

"Oh my... really." Su Shi sighed, holding her cheek, and turned her head slightly to look at Bao Deng Zheli who was still lying on the sofa as if resting. "Zheli, do you have any good ideas?"

"What's a good idea?"

Zhe Li turned over and sat up. Although he had been pretending to sleep with his eyes closed a moment ago, there was no trace of sleepiness on his face.

He looked around and his gaze stopped at Su Shi's face. He smiled casually: "How about I sing a song for the lamp?"

“—Yes, indeed!”

Shoko Toyokawa widened her eyes in surprise, as if a universe appeared behind her head.

"Mr. Zheli can read music, is currently the lead singer, and even participated in the arrangement of 'Haruhi Kage'..."

"Hmm?" Su Shi raised his eyebrows and made a light sound.

"So-called participation is just a trial singing and playing for you."

Zhe Li stood up and approached the girls. He stopped a few steps away, leaning against the counter and smiling.

"In fact, we should have recorded the pre-recorded version a few times before. The version from a few days ago was already good enough to add lyrics to and sing."

"If those times were recorded, they could be used as a pretense song."

Xiangzi also smiled and nodded, "That's right. Later, I mainly worked on perfecting everyone's respective scores."

"————."

Li Xi looked at her profile, which seemed to be telling something as if it was a matter of course.

…So, the song itself actually took even less time to complete…?

While Shiina Ritsuki was stunned, Baodō Oriri seemed to have said something and started walking towards the recording studio, followed closely by Takamatsu Tomo, Toyokawa Shoko, and Nagasaki Suyo.

"Lixi, why don't you come over? You can practice your impressions while looking at the music."

"Eh……."

Li Xi blinked, and his still blurry vision was filled with Su Shi's worried face.

The girl, who looked much more mature than her actual age, tilted her head slightly and stared straight at Li Xi. "What's wrong? You've been absent-minded since the beginning."

"……nothing."

Li Xi avoided her gaze, turned around and followed Wakaba Mutsu who was at the end of the team.

Su Shi looked at Li Xi's figure, which seemed a little fragile for some reason, and frowned slightly.

"Oops..."

It’s true that there is still a long way to go.

In the recording studio.

"One-way passage in darkness, woo woo."

"Little Light?!"

She covered her mouth and looked up quietly, and saw Nagasaki Suyo coming over and touching her shoulder.

She looked over with tears in her eyes.

"I bit my tongue."

……

[Standing in the middle of the intersection, blending into the bustling crowd]

The tip of the pen moved lightly across the paper.

……

In the cafe.

"Please use!"

Baodeng Zheli solemnly placed the long plate covered with an iron lid on the table.

Bathed in everyone's curious gaze, he slowly opened the iron cover——

Ruoye Mu looked down at the plate, then looked up at Zheli.

"This is……?"

The store manager straightened up and smiled confidently, "Thinly sliced cucumber with mayonnaise and smoked chicken breast."

"..."

Xiao Mu slowly raised his eyes and revealed a (? ? ?) expression.

"Mayonnaise, yuck."

"—?!"

The store manager was shocked.

"This is actually happening?"

……

Those popular songs never express my feelings.

The handwriting paused slightly above "I", but soon began to write the next word smoothly.

……

In the noisy box.

"You sing very well~!" Shoko Toyokawa waved the maracas excitedly.

Shiina Riki glanced at Xiangzi and asked, "Where did you get this thing from?"

"Oh? Isn't it normal to applaud the singer? I even have a tambourine here."

Boom, boom, boom. Swish, swish, swish…

"It's so noisy." Li Xi commented sharply.

"Isn't this good?" Su Shi gave up thinking.

“…….” Mu looked up and counted the stains on the ceiling.

She looked at the scene, and then a faint laugh echoed in the box through the microphone.

“Puff, puff—”

"Huh? Why is even the light laughing at me..."

……

[If I could reach your heart and fill the void a little bit]

The slow handwriting reveals the author's hesitation, until the mixed thoughts are deeply engraved on the white paper by the graphite pen.

……

in front of the counter.

Zhe Li crossed his arms solemnly facing the steam nozzle of the water heater.

"Sure enough, it's still the kingly way to go, the bubble system."

(Refers to the fact that designing the latte art shape is troublesome)

Su Shi nudged Zhe Li with his elbow and said, "If you want to slack off, just say so."

Zhe Lizhi said: "I want to be lazy."

Su Shi snorted: "No."

"Alas……"

The store manager uttered a frustrated wail and obediently heated up the milk.

And she was gazing into the distance in a trance.

……

Even I will shout out that I am here.

...Crack.

She pressed the operating button of the fountain pen, retracted the pen refill, and put it aside.

Gao Songdeng picked up the notebook and read the lines of words he had written in a daze.

——Another week has passed since the official completion of "Haruhi no Shadow" and CRYCHIC began harmony practice.

This was the first original song that truly belonged to the band, and it seemed to have given everyone in CRYCHIC unprecedented motivation. Everyone showed a passion far beyond their previous performance, and even Wakaba Mutsu, who always followed them silently, seemed to have become more motivated.

However, for Deng Takamatsu, what impressed her more than the songs or the band itself were the little things they did outside of practice: the emotions that gathered in her heart at that moment, permeated her body with the pulse, passed to her fingertips, and then to the mechanical pencil, and were written down as words.

She read it again silently and closed the notebook.

Is this a lyric? It seems not; it still seems closer to her usual emotional notes. If I want to sing it as a melody, I need to make some subtle adjustments.

Besides, Xiaoxiang has just written a song, so let’s not trouble her too much.

"Today is……"

She turned on her phone and checked the time.

Today, nothing seems to happen...

CRYCHIC is an amateur band after all, and everyone is in the third year of junior high school of the same age. For example, Shiina Riki said that she wanted to go directly to the high school department of Haneda University, so she couldn't take her studies too lightly. Therefore, surprisingly, they didn't practice very often.

Deng was thinking about this, picked up the glass and took a sip of ice milk.

It's obviously all milk.
