Teacher Daxiang, please teach me how to play Kasuga Shadow!

"..."

Ayano looked at Aine who suddenly acted like a child throwing a tantrum, as if she had seen other children begging for candy with their mouths opened and their waists bent after being fed candy by her, and she also shook her head in amusement.

But speaking of it, the original music combination she and Xiangzi created does seem to be a bit inconvenient in some places.

We are indeed lacking a guitar player...

It can’t be said that the guitar sound simulated by Xiangzi using software is bad, but it is synthesized by a computer after all, so it always sounds a bit stiff. If it were played by Aiyin... perhaps it would be more natural and could better bring out the emotions of the whole song.

"Xiao Xiang, how about taking Aiyin along?"

"Take her with you?"

"Take her with you?"

The two of them said exactly the same words at the same time. It must be said that they had reached a subtle tacit understanding at this moment.

But after they each said the same words, Aine and Shoko's eyes met in mid-air, and the tit-for-tat "murderous intent" seemed to condense into a entity, making it difficult to ignore its existence.

"Ayano, you can play the piano and write songs, and I'll accompany you on guitar. Our combination is enough, right? Isn't another keyboard unnecessary?"

Faced with Aine's first attack, Xiangzi felt inexplicably like laughing.

Without even thinking, she retorted, "You can use a computer for guitar or something, right? But arranging and composing music are irreplaceable."

"what?"

Aiyin looked at Xiangzi with an attitude that said, "Why are you so arrogant?"

He didn't eat the meal, nor did he fight for the dishes. He just leaned on the dining table with his hands, opened his mouth and looked at Toyokawa Shoko who suddenly appeared with some anger.

This guy...really made her mad.

Perhaps she had thought of something crucial, the frustration on Aine's face suddenly disappeared, and she looked at Xiangzi with a teasing expression and said:

"Aren't you Ayano-chan's teacher? You don't usually have time for activities like this, do you?"

"This is the practical part besides teaching." Xiangzi responded with ease.

"Then shouldn't you just teach Ayano and then retire? Besides... you don't know how to play the guitar, so you can't replace me in that aspect. At worst... I can teach Ayano-chan too."

"You?" Shoko was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look in Ayano's direction, and tried to analyze Aine's ability by observing Ayano's reaction.

However, Ayano, who caused all this dispute, was actually sitting on a chair eating as if nothing had happened. Xiangzi rolled his eyes at this scene.

"What's wrong with me?"

Aiyin felt a little guilty, but she absolutely couldn't show her weakness at a time like this, so she straightened her back and said confidently, "I'm a guitar expert, and I'm an indispensable member of the band.

They have to consider my ideas when they write songs, and when I play, the people around me can only watch. You can ask Ayano-chan about this. "

"puff……"

Ayano couldn't help but spit out her rice when she heard this. Then, in order not to embarrass the little pink-haired kid, she could only pretend that she choked because she ate too fast. She picked up the spoon beside her, scooped some soup and drank a few mouthfuls.

However, it seems that Aine has also learned the ability to tell half the truth.

When they wrote songs as a group,

I was taking care of Aine's situation, but that was because Aine's abilities weren't up to par...

As for the others watching? Isn't that because they've already practiced and are waiting for you to get familiar with it so they can go through it together?

But when she saw Aiyin's arrogant look, she really didn't know how this guy could hold it together.

“Even if you play guitar well…”

No, you really believed it?

Ayano tried hard to suppress the urge to laugh, and kept stuffing food into her mouth to prevent the corners of her mouth from rising.

But that's true, Xiangzi doesn't know Aine's background. Maybe from her point of view, Aine must have her reasons for being so confident.

"Also, believe it or not, I'll have Ayano-chan dock your salary!"

"What?" Xiangzi was shocked by Aine's shamelessness, but she thought she knew Ayano quite well. Although she knew that what Aine said was unlikely to come true, she was successfully brought to a new rhythm by Aine.

Maybe now Xiangzi herself doesn’t understand why she had such an argument with Chihaya Aine.

She had clearly convinced herself before that she was just an outsider, and that she and Ayano were just ordinary friends, so she just needed to maintain her current business dealings.

But Xiangzi actually still feels quite insecure inside.

Although she herself did not realize this immediately, because of Aine's sudden insertion, the sense of crisis in her heart that she might be kicked out at any time became more and more serious.

"Okay, all of you, please be quiet for a while."

Ayano took a deep breath. She felt that if she didn't say something, it would be difficult to end the night.

With Aine's straightforward personality and Xiangzi's strong sense of self-protection, who easily overreacts when encountering problems, if there is no third person to mediate, the two of them will probably continue to quarrel like this.

"Xiao Xiang, we really need someone to play the guitar right now. I know Aiyin's ability, and if it's her, I think neither you nor I will have any concerns.

Aine's joining you poses no threat, understand?"

When Aiyin heard this "praise", she was extremely proud. She put her hands on her hips and looked at Toyokawa Shoko in front of her, like a rooster that had won a fight.

However, she always felt that there was something wrong with what Ayano said.

Aiyin always thought that her intuition was quite accurate, but the most annoying thing was that she could always sense something was wrong, but she just couldn't form a specific answer in her mind.

"And Aine, don't reject Xiaoxiang's presence. She's a very capable person. Red Ginger can't be without such an all-round soul figure."

"But……"

"Besides, you want me to help you write a song, don't you? If you have the time, you might as well think about how to write the lyrics for your song."

"Huh?" Aine was immediately brought to a new topic. She scratched her face, feeling a little embarrassed by Ayano's request. "Ayano-chan, are you saying... that I should write the lyrics?"

"Of course, only the lyrics you write can be considered your own voice. Of course, you don't have to worry too much, even if the lyrics you write are not so brilliant in the eyes of others.

But that is a confession that belongs only to you.”

"Confession?"

Aine's face turned a little red, but because of Xiangzi's presence, she didn't remain shy for long.

Xiangzi, who had been silent on the side, also nodded silently after thinking for a while.

Although Xiangzi did not want things to turn out like this, it seemed that she had no other choice at the moment. However, she was still a little confused about Ayano's self-willed analysis of her thoughts.

"Since you all have no objections, let's try playing 'Empty Box' together tonight as a way to get used to each other."

"I have no opinion."

"I...okay." Although Aine was a little hesitant, she still did not lower her head and show fear at this time.

Although Xiangzi had to agree for Ayano's sake, it was obvious that while Aine was seriously studying the guitar tab of "Sora no Bako", she was already thinking about how the three-person Red Ginger should be run.

But soon she was somewhat stunned by the "ensemble" before her.

Because she found that the level displayed by Aine was that of a complete newcomer, maybe only slightly better than a complete newcomer who had never met her before.

Could this be what Ayano meant when she said that both of them would be "satisfied"?

You know what, because of Aine's sudden failure, her confidence and determination increased a lot. She also found her true value and irreplaceable status among the "Red Gingers".

That's the feeling... It always feels like she has become Ayano's accomplice.

No, how could this woman be so bad?

He even set a trap on his childhood sweetheart without any scruples?

At this moment, Xiangzi felt his cell phone vibrate. While taking out the phone, Xiangzi glanced in the direction of Ayano and found that she was looking at him and gave him a sly smile.

The message she received on her phone was:

[Spring Day is the song I wrote for you. I hope one day you will understand its true meaning.]

Chapter 69 Chu Hua: Yes, yes, yes, if you skip class in the future, just say that I taught you (2/2

）

Shiina Riki stayed awake all night.

That night she was not as carefree as a certain pink-haired girl, who slept soundly with her legs tightly wrapped around Ayano; nor was she as determined as a certain blue-haired girl with twintails, who wrote a song very smoothly in a state of overflowing inspiration and fell asleep early without delaying the next day's classes.

She couldn't sleep at all. On the table was the introductory composition textbook that she had bought a few months ago and had almost read through. She was drinking an energy drink and staring blankly at the demo project that she was still not satisfied with.

This is already the 12th version, but she is still not very satisfied.

It can be said that since she returned home last night until now, she has been repeatedly iterating the main melody of the new song, and the main part of it is actually the most troublesome for her.

For Li Xi, the chorus was barely acceptable because he had the image of Deng singing desperately on the stage in his mind, and as long as the overall tone of the chorus was uplifting.

But she couldn't grasp the emotions of the main song quickly.

In addition, when Lixi was writing the third demo, she received a message from Xiaodeng on her mobile phone.

There were two photos above the message. The familiar notebook page grid lines, the familiar handwriting and writing style immediately made her realize that these were the lyrics that Deng had written overnight.

"Lixi, you should go to school."

“…I understand, sister.”

Hearing her sister Maki calling her to go out outside the door, Lixi's expression was a little unnatural, because she knew that if she didn't turn off the lights in her room all night, her family would definitely find out that she was not asleep.

But what surprised her was that her sister, who got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, didn't seem to knock on the door before coming in.

And just now... the other party seemed to know nothing, as if her act of writing songs all night didn't exist at all.

However, attending classes is really troublesome.

After packing up the necessary things and changing into school uniform, Lixi took the bus to Hanasakigawa Girls' College as usual. However, she was always thinking about composing music. After arriving at the school, Lixi did not notice a person coming down from the corner of the stairs in the school teaching building.

With a bang, the dazed Li Xi bumped directly into the other person. Feeling a little pain, Li Xi touched his arm, then looked at the person who was knocked against the wall by him.

Triangle...Chuhua?

Although they didn't have much contact in class, Lixi knew this person. After all, he would often skip classes early because of Sumimi's affairs. To a certain extent, she was quite envious of his pace of life.

"Sorry, Shiina-san, are you okay? It's my fault for not paying attention to where I'm going."

"No, it's okay." Li Xi's eyes were a little vague, and her inexplicable sense of inferiority surfaced again, especially in this high-pressure state of self-doubt.

The two of them separated for the time being without much communication. But before Li Xi could walk far, he saw his friend Hai Ling leaning against the window sill in the corridor.

"Didn't you sleep well last night?" This was obviously seen from Li Xi's somewhat tired expression.

“…It has nothing to do with you.”

Hai Ling was already accustomed to Li Xi's speaking style, so she simply asked back calmly, "Don't you know the person you bumped into just now?"

"How could I not know Triangle classmate in my class?"

"I mean her status in Sumimi."

"…Do you think I'm stupid?"

Hailing's eyebrows raised slightly, as if she had noticed something from this conversation. "Are you worried? Did you have a fight with the band members?"

"No."

"That would be a quarrel with yourself."

"you……"

"If you need any help, remember to tell me." After saying this, Hailing turned around and waved at her coolly, then walked into the classroom first.

Li Xi, who was still standing there, frowned slightly, and finally sighed and followed.

But to be honest, the encounter with Chu Hua just now really gave her some creative inspiration.

But this inspiration is not some new melody, but...

"Teacher, I'm not feeling well. I'm leaving now."

"Huh? Ah... take care of yourself, Shiina-san."

——But she discovered this school and decided not to attend it for the time being.

.....

"Chihaya, pay attention in class. Even though you've studied abroad in London, you can't take English so lightly."

Aiyin's face was filled with embarrassment when her name was suddenly called. Fortunately, she didn't need to be embarrassed for long because the class ended right here. The ringing of the bell finally gave her a chance to catch her breath.

"Ah...Xiao Deng, I'm going to die."
