I refuse to be a plagiarist

However, unlike the judging criteria of the past, with the development of the times, the excellence of a song may not need to be dependent on any authoritative judgment or certification.

Just like this song that is playing in the room at this moment.

This was a song that was sung by the top three winners of the first DSDS (Deutschland sucht den Superstar). Although the original version is not as good as those exaggerated classical music, it also has a considerable level of style.

However, compared to these insignificant fame and fortune, those listeners who like it may pay more attention to other things.

For example, the pure melody, or... the peace of mind of being able to cry on a shoulder when you feel helpless.

Maybe in the field of music, it won't be as valuable as those exam pieces, which can leave a historical monument.

But the trust and warmth contained in it, which can be shared with the most precious friends, is enough to make everyone like it and add it to their own personal playlist.

"If the hero never comes to you

If you need someone you're feeling blue"

"If you wait for love and you're alone

If you call your friends nobody’s home”

........

The soothing foreshadowing in the soft melody tells of the inevitable loneliness and distress in a person's life. When this inescapable oppression accumulates to the extreme, the cry of redemption and liberation also breaks out:

"But if you wanna cry, cry on my shoulder"

(But if you feel exhausted and want to cry, just cry on my shoulder.)

"If you need someone who cares for you"

(I will never leave you and will always care about you)

"If you're feeling sad your heart gets colder"

(Perhaps you have become so disheartened that you no longer feel any ripples)

"Yes I show you what real love can do~"

(But I will still warm it with my love for you)

————————————

Is this a mutual understanding between friends or a consolation between lovers?

No one knows the answer.

But the only thing that is clear is that amidst the two people's singing that exceeded their standard, invisible pressure has fallen on everyone else.

For example...the young president who is not good at singing.

Chapter 138: Some are happy, some are worried

In fact, when it comes down to it, singing can be roughly divided into two aspects in terms of its effects.

One is skill.

There is no doubt that this is a very rigid indicator.

After all, as something that needs to make people feel comfortable listening to it, no matter how great it is in other aspects, as long as it is out of tune, it can basically be equated with "trash".

The other aspect is the emotions that the singer puts into it.

Compared to skill, this is undoubtedly a rather subjective and ambiguous factor.

But it is undeniable that when the skills reach a certain level, or when the ability of the person involved is limited to a certain range, emotional investment is undoubtedly the best choice to achieve its sublimation.

As an amateur player, Hasegawa Hide is undoubtedly much inferior in skills compared to his teammate Hayasaka Ai.

So while trying not to make mistakes, all he thought about was to incorporate his understanding of the song into the emotions as much as possible.

Fortunately, the other party was very understanding and did not perform beyond his capacity like some people who just liked to show off their skills. Instead, he just controlled his level to be on the same level as that guy.

In this way, the resonance generated by the cooperation between the two people will naturally produce a brilliant effect of 1+1>2.

After the song, the other three friends present applauded.

Among them, Fujiwara Chika even jumped over on her own initiative, and kept staring at Hasegawa Hide with a look that said "I'm very pleased", while muttering to herself something like "What a hardworking kid", which made Ishigami, a classmate standing next to her, feel a little confused.

“Yoshi!

The students are so motivated, so as a teacher, I can’t let anyone look down on me!”

Perhaps to demonstrate her confidence, Fujiwara Chika rolled up her sleeves, revealing a section of her fair wrists. She clenched her fists, her eyes flashing with fighting spirit.

Constantly screening your targets in the song request column.

Someone's performance just now has successfully aroused her competitive spirit, and even her heartbeat has increased a lot.

The slender and long pianist's hands constantly move across the surface of the screen.

Under the influence of the gradually rising competitive mentality, even a simple choice has become full of gaming elements.

"Oh?

Is Fujiwara-senpai going to give it a try......"

The complaints at this time no longer had the sharpness of the student union’s daily routine in the past.

With the examples of Hasegawa and Hayasaka, Ishigami, his partner, felt a sense of regret for the first time.

——I should have known I would not have agreed to senior’s suggestion to sing together.

The fact that Fujiwara Chika is very good at music is no secret to the student council members.

Competing on the same stage with such a person, even if you are friends with him/her day and night, you will more or less worry about whether it will be embarrassing.

This is indeed a common mentality.

Not to mention traditional otaku like Ishigami who is not very good at interacting with classmates offline, even Shirogane, who is considered a popular figure in the eyes of his classmates, has the burden of striving for perfection under the influence of his idol image.

However, if you have friends with similar skills who can embarrass themselves together, then it won't matter. At least you can get away with it by laughing it off and act as the person who livens up the atmosphere.

For example, Ishigami's previous thoughts were probably based on this idea.

——If I'm here, Hasegawa-senpai won't be too embarrassed, right?

Yes, it is this preconceived notion!

In Ishigami's opinion, although Hasegawa-senpai looks like a reliable and tough guy, he probably doesn't have the time and experience to study this kind of hobby properly.

Even if Secretary Fujiwara said words like "teacher" or "guidance", Ishigami Yu didn't think it would be credible given his habit of lying as smoothly as breathing.

but now.....

【I was wrong! 】

[I was wrong! Fujiwara-senpai! ]

Heart-wrenching cries continued to ring in my heart.

I originally thought that Hasegawa, who was not very good at singing and was a lifelong friend, would be able to walk with me, but I never expected that Fujiwara-senpai actually did not lie, which was rare. The two of them really worked hard together around singing!

Of course, in real life, not all efforts will result in the expected rewards, but this time, Hasegawa Hide and Fujiwara Chika managed to create a miracle without any danger before the festival.

A miracle that can turn sweat into real ability in a short time!

Learn and practice it from time to time.

Taking advantage of that opportunity, whenever Hasegawa had nothing to do, he would take time out to consolidate his singing skills.

So although he is far inferior to professional players like Fujiwara Chika and Hayasaka Ai, he is already quite outstanding compared to ordinary high school students.

【very good! 】

【No shame! 】

Compared to Ishigami Yu's nervousness, facing the applause from his friends, Hasegawa Hide's heart was full of satisfaction with his perfect performance.

He smiled and gave a thumbs up to the girl who was singing along with him.

But in Hayasaka Ai's eyes, that smug look made her want to complain crazily no matter how she looked at it.

——What?!

[Is it possible that you only think about utilitarian things like this?]

【At least pay attention to the feelings of the girls around you! 】

The character that has been built up over the years now seems to be showing signs of breaking down.

She had no idea what was going on. Whenever she faced this guy in front of her, in addition to a long-lost sense of relaxation, the desire to complain in her heart kept surging like the rising tide.

"ε=(?ο｀ )))Alas"

"Well, what happened?"

"Nothing, I just suddenly feel a little tired."

"Are you tired...

I don't know what strange problem is bothering you again, but why not take this opportunity today to forget about it and relax.

Here~"

He took out a cup of cool milk tea from the frame and handed it to the girl.

Facing this "stupid look" of someone who had no idea at all, Hayasaka took a deep breath and then took the high-calorie drink from the other person.

“I’m impressed by you…”

"Ok?"

"Nothing~

Cheers~! "

"oh oh.

Then...cheers?"

"cut......"

Chapter 139: Fujiwara Chika's Great Crisis

"Cheers." x2

The two men clinked their cups together in mid-air in a mock manner.

At this moment, Secretary Fujiwara, who was about to make a grand appearance, suddenly barged in without warning, with an angry but mysteriously cute face. While Hayasaka was in deep thought, he stared at someone indignantly:

“Cough! Cough~!”

"What's wrong, Fujiwara-san, is your throat feeling uncomfortable?

I just happened to have some spare special medicine in my bag, if you need it... "

"No, Hayasaka-san, there is nothing wrong with my throat.

It's just Hasegawa-kun...

Master, I suddenly feel a little thirsty now. "

A pair of big, round eyes flashed with a bit of cunning.

Although she was concentrating on selecting the right song just now, the radar antenna called Love Detective did not stop working.

The scene of the two people interacting in the corner of the room immediately attracted Secretary Fujiwara's attention.

Faced with this intimate scene between someone in front of her and Hayasaka, especially when Hasegawa took the initiative to hand the latter a sweet drink, she suddenly felt inexplicably lost, like her own child who "forgot his mother after getting married".

Hey, you think this metaphor is a bit inappropriate?

——It is said: Once a teacher, always a father.

——According to this ancient saying, as Hasegawa-kun's master, it doesn't seem difficult to understand that I am half a mother!

Although she herself did not realize it, in her subconscious mind, Secretary Fujiwara had already quietly performed a magical operation to super-upgrade Hasegawa Hide.

The strong sourness emanating from the girl soared into the sky.

Even Hasegawa Hide, who was a little slow to react, couldn't help but feel an inexplicable sense of guilt when facing the gaze of his master.

[Strange... Why did Fujiwara suddenly look like this? Did I accidentally make her unhappy at some point? ]
