Will the plagiarism girl be a substitute for the preference for women?

Do you want me to teach you spoken English?

Chika tried to pronounce the words as clearly as possible to test Aine's responsiveness.

"?? It's starting so soon..."

Aiyin didn't answer in English immediately, but instead glanced down and pondered for a while.

Yes, I need to

The first answer that came to her mind was simple, but she found it too bland.

She wanted to use more sophisticated language to express herself, and add a sentence or two about how she hoped Chika could help her.

This is a habitual way of thinking formed when I was doing short English essays in junior high school.

No! A simple answer will suffice.

However, the lingering trauma from her self-introduction during her studies abroad still makes it difficult for Aine to speak in front of China, who has a standard accent.

This caused her to fall silent after a long "uh," her eyes becoming unfocused.

China realized that the other person really needed to improve their spoken English.

"By the way, does Ai-chan have any plans for learning spoken English?"

While China was asking the question, she was also thinking about the same thing: how to use some of her past life's circumstances to generate income.

Using a virtual anchor persona to conduct trilingual live streams?

Are there any other jobs available...?

For Aine, asking Chinatsu for help with spoken English was partly about finding someone to chat with, but she also genuinely hoped to improve her spoken English so that the trauma of her time studying abroad would lessen...

But she was still planning to reveal her plans to study abroad, so she needed a different reason.

For example... to facilitate English covers?

So she explained it this way.

"Doesn't Chika really like singing and playing instruments? I'd like to cover some English songs too, so I want to improve my spoken English. Was that Linkin Park song you were singing just now?"

That's a really famous song, right...? Don't you remember?

China felt something was off.

"It's called Inend."

"Inend?"

Ai Yin recalled the Linkin Park songs she had heard before.

No results found.

"Is Inend their only new song?"

?？

China was taken aback, then took out her phone from under the table, opened the music player, and quickly typed a search.

Linkin Park released Inend.

After staring at the screen for a long time, sweat dripped onto China's trembling fingertips, preventing her from swiping out the music app the first time she tried. It was as if the warrior on the In cover had planted his flag deep into the screen, unshakable.

"please wait for a moment."

China suppressed her panic, trying to keep it from showing on her face so as not to worry Aine.

She wore headphones the whole time after the interview, which made it easier for her to confirm something.

"Okay, sure..."

"I understand."

Chika pretended to answer the phone with her earphones and reply, but actually listened to a segment of In's content.

……

The lyrics and arrangement are different from those of Inend.

But it's definitely their style, definitely on par with Inend!

However, in China's previous life's timeline, they never released this song.

Just like this world, there has never been an Inend.

Suddenly, Toyohashi Chinatsu realized the strongest condition she had in her past life.

She took off her headphones and smiled.

"Sorry, I was just kidding."

"Actually, I wanted to compose a song as a tribute to Linkin Park, and I planned to call it Inend."

"My arrangement skills are very limited, and I can only come up with a few melodies for the lead singer at the moment."

"If someone could teach me about music composition, I should be able to finish this piece much faster."

“The arrangement…” Aine shrank back a little.

She has only covered some of the works.

I haven't touched a guitar in a while.

It seems I can't reciprocate Chika's promise to teach me spoken English.

Aine had no choice but to say this:

"Maybe we can find someone in the school's music department who can arrange music. We can then form a band to perform this piece."

After China nodded in agreement, Aine asked again:

"By the way, does Chinatsu-san have high aspirations in music?"

"Um..." China felt that her words had given Aine the impression that she had "ambition to emulate Linkin Park".

Please let the band shine!

China remembered someone's message.

Her ambitions weren't initially that high; she just wanted to use the band to "cure" her illness, fulfill someone's wish, and earn some extra money.

But realizing that the songs you've listened to may not be available in this world, you need to raise your goals.

However, Toyohashi Chinatsu did not want to appear to be overly ambitious.

"No, not really. I'm the type of person who only gets enthusiastic for three minutes, so this is probably just something I'm doing for fun."

Hearing this somewhat negative response, Ai Yin felt a sense of relief.

She's currently just using the band for socializing.

If China has high aspirations, she must also have high expectations for the band members.

……

"It's not on my way, what a pity. Goodbye then, Chizuru-kun."

"Goodbye."

When the conversation about music reached a point where various backing track terms such as "Regalia," "boompap," and "pluggnb" were mixed in, Ai Yin gradually steered the topic off course.

They started by talking about bands and their uniforms, then moved on to fashion, then to the characters' outfits in TV dramas, then to the plot of the dramas, and finally played a game together online before leaving the store.

During this time, China's illness relapsed, causing her to almost show off all the music arrangement knowledge she had acquired in her life.

If the person on the other end is some big shot, they'll probably be laughed at.

However, Aine didn't seem to know much about this and seemed to be avoiding the topic.

Or is she actually a master arranger, but just felt it was too awkward to talk about these things with someone as mediocre as me, so she avoided the topic?

Just then, China noticed a hole in the wall.

She desperately wanted to crawl inside, kneel down, close her eyes tightly, and pound the ground in pain.

In any case, I need to take my medication properly in order to reduce the incidence of the disease.

"I am back."

Even though the house was empty when she got home, Toyohashi Chinatsu said the same thing as before she had parents.

This is quite interesting, because one of the causes of her illness is that her "family" is no longer in this world.

It's as fun as pretending to be very vigilant in a safe zone where there are no dangerous elements.

Chika's house is a villa, and her bedroom features solid wood floors and walls, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.

After setting up a 2.6m*1m double-layer workbench, a sofa and tea table set, and a large bed, the bedroom was still very spacious, much better than the living environment in my previous life.

The monitor on the workbench, the speakers on both sides, the synthesizer in the drawer, and other equipment are all things that only existed in the wish list of the previous life.

a few days ago.

After being rushed to the hospital in a coma due to an overdose of medication, the girl transmigrated.

But not waking up in this cozy and spacious bedroom.

It was also in the hospital.

just now.

Upon entering the bathroom attached to the bedroom, bloodstains were still visible on the sink.

The girl gently lifted her left sleeve, removed the bandage, and revealed her wrist with multiple scabbed knife marks.

After wiping with iodine solution, replace with a new bandage.

After gazing at the person named "Toyohashi Chinatsu" in the mirror for a moment, she returned to her bedroom.

Please let the band shine!

There was a note on the bedside table with the above content written on it.

It's unclear whether the original owner received someone else's wish or was encouraging herself.

Regardless, the girl could not ignore this request, which was addressed to someone unknown.

It was as if I had been given the opportunity to travel to this world and was tasked with completing it.

After being discharged from the hospital and returning home, the girl found some information in the house and roughly pieced together the original owner's story.

She comes from a single-parent family and was raised by her white-collar mother; the reason for their divorce is unknown.

She had attended a prestigious private school, but her mother recently died in a car accident. Lacking both emotional and financial support, she had to downgrade her consumption and transferred to Haneoka Academy. During this time, she attempted suicide by cutting her wrists in the bathroom.

At that moment, a neighbor happened to visit China's family to offer condolences regarding the passing of China's mother.

But they heard no response, and after realizing something was wrong, they called the police and took China to the hospital.

And then, here we are.

The girl estimated that she would receive even more frequent visits from her neighbors in the next few days.

Smile as much as you can, be grateful for this remembrance that doesn't belong to your past...

But compared to her past life, she still wants to play her new life well.

Sitting at the workbench, looking at the pathology report confirming the original owner's diagnosis of "bipolar disorder," some possible causes gradually surfaced in my mind...

primary school.

“Look how elegant that class monitor who studies piano is! I’ve also enrolled you in piano lessons, so you must practice hard and not let the money go to waste!” the mother said.

“Playing the piano alone won’t do any good; your grades also need to keep up with the class monitor,” the father said.

junior high school.

"You've only just mastered the piano, and you're already practicing guitar? What's with the arrangement? Your grades have dropped by over a hundred places this time. You need to understand that academics come first; music is just a hobby. Cultivating your character? You have no time to cultivate your character when your grades are so bad?" the father said.

“Why would you go see a psychologist for no reason? Those Western medicines are just a money grab and taking too much of them is bad! You’re so young, what depression… what do you mean it’s not depression, it’s bipolar disorder? At your age, my mother is already self-reliant, she doesn’t have time to be frowning and thinking about this and that,” the mother said.

High school.

"Why the hell did you sign her up for piano lessons back then! And now you're putting her through art exams? You think art scores are everything, but her academic scores are terrible!"

"She just refuses to study; if she doesn't play the piano, she'll play something else!"

"Nonsense! You're the one who killed her!"
