We agreed to be in a band for life, what the heck is Dragon Raja?

He was somewhat surprised to hear this, as the geography teacher seemed unfamiliar with the class, quite different from his usual teaching style.

"It can't be because I answered a question, can it?"

As he looked down at "Rashomon," his thoughts wandered aimlessly, from the band to the classroom, then to the girl in a certain band, and then back to the band.

"We have to practice this afternoon. It feels like... even though the band hasn't been together for very long, they're only relatively calm during practice. Otherwise, it feels like they're planting mines underwater..."

Nan Yun Yuyue sighed inwardly, then shook her head and returned to the book in front of her.

Time passes slowly.

The school bell rang again and again, and then it ended again and again. Before we knew it, it was time to go home.

Nan Yun Yu Yue stretched.

He listened to the geography class in the morning for a while, but after the class ended, he became completely absorbed in the book. The afternoon classes were even more blurry, and his clearest memory is now the classroom where the school bell is ringing.

He had finished reading Ryunosuke Akutagawa's "Rashomon" and had now put it back in the drawer.

"Let's not take it back today."

Nan Yun Yu Yue Xin Dao.

He didn't actually bring many books with him today, just "Rashomon," "Norwegian Wood," and "Snow Country," which Toyokawa Shoko had borrowed.

Xiangzi should be able to finish reading "Snow Country" today, and maybe he'll borrow a few other books too, so it's good to keep them for now.

Since I'll be going to a live house later, it's best to travel light.

Just as he was about to get up, Toyokawa Shoko walked up to him, holding the book "Snow Country" in her hand.

"Thank you, Nagumo-kun. I've finished reading it."

Toyokawa Shoko said.

This time, she made sure to double-check, just to prevent a repeat of the accident where she had accidentally put the painting inside.

and,

Like Nagumo Ugetsu, Toyokawa Shoko also spent an entire day thinking about her own unusual situation.

The scene within that 'vision' was truly terrifying; even though a day had passed, she could still recall every detail.

"Ugh……"

Toyokawa Shoko sighed inwardly.

She suddenly felt a little sad.

Since my mother passed away, the atmosphere at home has gradually become cold.

My grandfather was never one to smile, and my father had been depressed because of my mother's death, and recently he had been working overtime a lot.

Sometimes she gets a strange feeling about the servants in her house, but she can't find any evidence to prove it.

In addition, they seemed to be somewhat afraid of all the members of the Toyokawa family, so Toyokawa Shoko never encountered the kind old nanny or maid that only appears in novels or anime.

"We're rehearsing the new piece today."

Toyokawa Shoko thought to herself.

Although she had been feeling uneasy for a long time yesterday because of her 'spiritual vision', the melody about Kasuga Kage kept lingering in her mind, so she stayed in her room until late at night and only went to bed after composing the melody.

The band is progressing much faster than she expected, and they have already completed their original songs.

If there are no major problems with practice, I might be able to perform on stage soon.

Thoughts churned in Toyokawa Shoko's mind.

On the other side, Nan Yun Yuyue had already taken the book from her hands and put it into the drawer as usual.

He looked up and met Toyokawa Shoko's face, and then Wakaba Mutsu also stood beside them.

"Okay, I'm done packing. Sorry to keep you waiting."

Nan Yun Yuyue got up and then followed the two of them outside.

He stood behind Wakaba Mutsu and suddenly noticed that the hem of her dress was folded, so he reached out his right hand and smoothed it out for her.

"what……"

As I was unfolding that part of the garment downwards, my palms inevitably touched the waist area.

Ruo Yemu shuddered as if she had been electrocuted, then let out a low gasp. She only regained her composure when she turned around and saw that it was Nan Yunyuyue.

When Nan Yun Yuyue saw that Ruoye Mu had turned her head away again, she pulled down her clothes a little further and straightened the hem of her clothes.

"OK."

He whispered.

Toyokawa Shoko glanced back at the two men. She was walking in front and didn't know what had just happened. She only noticed that they were a few steps away from her, so she stopped.

Nanon Ugetsu and Wakaba Mutsu quickly followed.

"By the way, hasn't Su Shi arrived yet?"

Toyokawa Shoko looked down the corridor and noticed that Nagasaki Motoyo, who usually came out earlier than her, was not standing in that familiar spot today.

Just then, Nan Yun Yuyue walked out of the back door of the classroom and stood next to Ruoye Mutsumi.

Ruoye Mu turned to look at his face, her expression indifferent, though her brows were slightly furrowed.

Nan Yun Yuyue remained expressionless, then looked at Toyokawa Shoko again.

"Maybe something's going on in her class today? Why don't we go wait for her over there?"

"it is good."

Then, the three of them walked together toward Nagasaki Motoyo's classroom.

I had only taken a few steps when I saw her walking out of the classroom through the front door with her bag.

Nagasaki Motoyo's face lit up with surprise when she saw the three familiar figures.

"Nagamo-kun, Toyokawa-kun, Wakaba-kun."

"It was our group's turn to be on duty today, so we came out a little late. Sorry."

"It's alright, it's not late."

Nayun Yuyue smiled.

Seeing the current positions of the three, Nagasaki Motoyo naturally stood next to Nagumo Ugetsu and smiled as she glanced at his face.

"By the way, what piece are we going to practice today?"

"Should we practice the same song from the Butterfly Troupe last time?"

As they walked, Nagasaki Motoyo turned to look at her side and casually asked a question.

Even though Toyokawa Shoko was standing two people away from her, she could still clearly hear what she said.

"Today we're practicing a new song."

Toyokawa Shoko said,

"Yesterday, Gao Songdeng gave me the lyrics for 'Spring Shadows,' and I've already finished composing the music."

"We can try it out together today during rehearsal and see if there's anything that needs adjusting."

"Haruhi Kage!"

"Toyokawa-kun, you finished composing the music so quickly?!"

Nagasaki Motoyo was shocked.

Although she knew that Toyokawa Shoko was indeed musically talented, she never expected that she could compose a song into a melody that the entire band would need to play in just one day—no, just one night.

"What a genius!"

She murmured to herself.

Motoyo Nagasaki is naturally very talented in music; otherwise, she wouldn't have been chosen to participate in the Tsuki no Mori Music Festival performance.

Moreover, her ability to smoothly transition from playing the double bass in the wind instrument section to playing the bass in the band demonstrates her exceptional control over musicality.

But seeing someone like Toyokawa Shoko now, Nagasaki Motoyo felt that the gap between herself and him was not small at all.

"Toyokawa-kun is really amazing..."

As they thought about it, the four of them walked toward the live house RiNG.

The band has now rehearsed several times and is familiar with the location of the concert hall.

The band members discussed it on their phones and decided to meet at the practice room from now on, which would save some travel time.

Nagumo Ugetsu recalled the band's first rehearsal.

At that time, they were a little disappointed because they couldn't book a live house called CiRCLE. After all, many veteran bands trained there, such as PPP and Butterfly Band, and they might even run into them.

However, the band members have now adapted to rehearsing in RiNG.

In addition, because RiNG is a newly built concert hall, it has many more empty seats than CiRCLE, so there is never any worry about not being able to make a reservation.

The group walked into the rehearsal room, where Shiina Tatsuki was sitting on a round stool.

She had been waiting for a while, and when she saw the group from Moon Forest walk in, she casually took off her headphones.

"good afternoon."

She stood up, glanced at the people in the rehearsal room, and then said:

"Now only Takamatsu-kun hasn't come yet."

"She should be on her way. Akari's school lets out a little later." Toyokawa Shoko glanced at her phone. "Let's wait for her. She should be here soon."

“Okay, then I’ll go outside and buy a bottle of water first,” Shiina Tatsuki said.

She pushed open the door and walked into the lobby. Just as she scanned the code and paid for a bottle of water from the vending machine, she saw Gao Songdeng running into the RiNG lobby.

"Takamatsu-kun," Shiina Tatsuki called out.

Gao Songdeng paused, stopping like a penguin and looking around, searching for the source of the sound.

“Here.” Shiina Ritsuki took a sip of water, then walked to her side.

"Everyone else is waiting for you in the rehearsal room, let's go together."

"Um……"

Takamatsu lowered her head, and then the two of them walked together toward the rehearsal room.

Snapped--

The door to the rehearsal room was pushed open again.

Shiina Tatsuki and Takamatsu Akari walked in.

When Nangumo Ugetsu saw Takamatsu Tou, a thought struck her.

"Perfect timing, everyone's here now."

"Then let me take this opportunity to talk about our band's practice plan."

Wakaba Mutsu, Toyokawa Shoko, Nagasaki Motoyo, Shiina Tatsuki, and Takamatsu Akari, who had just arrived, all put down what they were doing and walked to his side.

"First of all, it's about a milestone for our band."

Nan Yun Yuyue paused for a few seconds, keeping everyone in suspense.

"From today onwards, we can practice our own songs during rehearsals."

"Toyokawa-kun has already composed the music for 'Spring Day Shadow,' and we can start practicing it today."

He stretched out his hand, towards Toyokawa Shoko's direction.

"Thanks to Toyokawa's efforts, we were able to have our own song so quickly."

Toyokawa Shoko broke into a bright smile:

"It's all what I should do, not to mention that Deng also contributed to writing the lyrics."

She glanced at Takamatsu Akari, whose face was still slightly flushed from having her name mentioned. No one would have guessed that the words written by this young girl would have such power.

Nanyun Yuyue said:

"Yes, Akari also deserves a lot of credit. The lyrics of Haruhi Kage are beautiful, and it's clear that Akari must have put in a lot of effort."
