Classic soul swap, but a musical

Mori Nami alone picked up those reports, as well as the first song of Ave Mujica.

Volume 1: Chapter 100 Lyrics

The company was still brightly lit at night, and many people were still working overtime. Mori Minami had no intention of going home. After finishing her work, she picked up the secretary's report and played Ave mujica.

The report summarizes Aragaki Ai's behavior. A glance at it tells you that he has done a lot.

She raised an eyebrow, thinking back to the boy that day, who was able to do what he said.

The song next to her ears finally played Chu Hua's voice. She paused, her lips parted, and there was a look of surprise in her eyes.

This level was achieved by a group of middle school students?

He flipped the page back and found a report on the band, which even included comments on the recording.

At first some people were unhappy because they were half an hour late, and under such tight conditions they were forced to work overtime.

No one is optimistic about this band. It is very likely that some people think that this is just a band played by the boss's daughter. It is a band that is not for fun. Let alone making money, it would be good if it does not lose money.

These things will naturally not be recorded, but they are likely to be thought of.

After the first recording, everyone's attitude changed. The reason was simple: they were strong enough.

Some people thought it was worth waiting for half an hour, and some people showed kindness to the boy. In short, public opinion changed in an instant.

As for the reviews of this song, without exception, they are all positive.

However, the comments about Aragaki Ai are basically all negative.

After reading the report, Mori Minami's fingers kept tapping on the desktop, her face calm, joy slowly creeping into her eyes as she replayed the report.

She didn't look at anything else, but listened to the entire song to confirm the commercial value of the song.

Suddenly, she felt a little relieved.

When he first learned about Aragaki's love, he did not force Mu to break up with him directly, but chose to talk to him.

If there had not been this conversation, would Mu have been forced to make a choice that she did not like, thus causing conflicts with her daughter, and perhaps she would have to deal with her daughter's affairs.

Then she would completely miss this band and Aragaki Ai.

Mori Minami turned off the music, stood up, and without looking at the report again, she chose to play it again.

The guitar is played by Mu, right?

It's much more interesting than playing the piano.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

There were few people on the tram and many empty seats. The boy and the girl sat by the window, talking in low voices.

“We’re not in that much of a rush. We just need to finish writing the six songs within two months and rehearse normally on weekends.

It will also take some time to promote Mujica, contact stages, and sell tickets.”

"Yes, I know." Xiangzi nodded.

The noise from the running tram is so loud that it will disturb others if it surrounds two people, so the only option is to keep a distance.

They sat very close, with their thighs touching, and could smell each other's scent. Xiangzi probably didn't wear perfume, and it wasn't the smell of shampoo, but he could smell a very light and elegant fragrance.

Aragaki Ai didn't have any extra thoughts and continued to talk to her: "I originally wanted to make an MV this weekend, but now I have changed my mind. I want to use the qupai method to make the MV. What do you think? It's more in line with Ave Mujica's world view."

"Ah."

If it weren't for Aragaki Ai, Xiangzi would probably have to do it all herself. Now she is very confident in handing over all these things to him, and she can focus more on writing lyrics and music.

She looked out the window at the scenery, then turned back: "What do you think the next few songs should be called? Do you have any idea?"

"......"

What Aragaki Ai said just now was to indirectly tell Xiangzi that there was no need to be so anxious.

Her financial situation should have improved. After signing the contract with the firm, she will receive a salary that is neither too much nor too little.

Since he didn't need to pay for renting the house, Xiangzi didn't have to work at all, and the money was enough to go back to school.

But she still tried so hard.

Ai Aragaki thought about it and decided to tell her everything she could remember, which should help her in writing lyrics.

"神さま,バカ, Twin Moons, Choir'S' Choir."

Actually, there's another song called "mas? u..." But he only remembered the two "?"s in the name and couldn't remember the full name, so he didn't say it.

After listening to Aragaki Ai's words, Xiangzi remembered them silently and thought about writing them down in his notebook when he got home.

He thought for a moment and said, "Otherwise, I'll ask Chu Hua to help me, and you can focus on composing the music."

"No, I want to try it myself." Xiangzi wanted to refuse and didn't want to cause trouble for Chuhua.

Ai Aragaki knows that the relationship between the two is completely unequal. Without experiencing the things in the animation, the weak Xiaoxiang still only regards Chuhua as a childhood friend.

But, Chuhua...

As long as you open your mouth, you will definitely agree.

He thought about it and felt that Chuhua was indeed too tired, having to take care of the activities of two groups.

Just now I suddenly thought that Chu Hua could take on the job of writing lyrics. Now that I think about it, I really shouldn’t give her more work.

But, there is another way.

I think Chuhua would be happy too.

Aragaki Ai then turned and asked, "Then, do you want Chuhua and I to help you?"

“........” Xiangzi didn’t say anything.

After a while, she nodded.

"Okay, then I'll create a small group." He felt that Chuhua should be very happy. Now that he had a reason to write lyrics, he could talk to Xiaoxiang at any time.

This should actually relieve her stress and allow her to get the strength to keep going from Xiangzi at all times.

After all, Chuhua in the anime... would even bring out those polite conversations. He would probably be happy to use the lyrics as an excuse to communicate more with Xiaoxiang.

After finishing the small group, Chu Hua was silent. It seemed that he was so tired and should take a rest.

Ai Aragaki briefly explained the situation, and Xiangzi threw the half-written lyrics into the group.

The tram stopped.

Xiangzi left her seat, and Aragaki Ai followed her and got off the tram with her.

Going further, there are no shops anymore, only residential houses and rental houses.

The moonlight is hazy tonight, giving the night a silvery glow.

"These songs should be in a progressive relationship." Aragaki Ai recalled the lyrics of several songs, "When I go on stage, I will consider the order of performance."

Xiangzi actually had similar thoughts in his mind, but he didn't expect that he was guessed by him.

Rather than guessing, it's better to say...

fraud!

Her smile revealed sadness as she walked side by side with him.

Ai Aragaki noticed that something was wrong with her, pointed at the ramen restaurant next to her and asked.

"Want to go get something to eat?"

"No more."

"It's okay, I'm hungry." Aragaki Ai pulled her in. As soon as they opened the door, a rich fragrance hit them in the face. In the small room, there were only countertops surrounding the operating table and a number of round stools.

The ramen owner was an acquaintance of his, and when he saw him pulling a girl, a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.

"Still the same?"

"Yeah, two bowls."

Aragaki Ai pulled her to sit down and said with a smile, "Don't worry, it's my treat."

"I'll pay for it myself." Xiangzi shook his head.

Volume 1: Chapter 101: Night

The ramen was served steaming hot. The boss went back to lie down. It was so late and it was unlikely to have any customers.

Aragaki Ai handed her a pair of chopsticks and said, "Don't worry about those things, everything will be fine."

"You didn't lie to me this time, did you?" Xiangzi took it and tasted the noodles. They were so salty, as if her tears had dripped into them.

"of course not."

He smiled and said, "Look, the contract has been signed. I'll be doing a live show and releasing an album soon. I'll get paid."

But......

There was a hint of confusion in Xiangzi's eyes. She was thinking about more than just money.

Having money can only solve part of the problem.

She lowered her head, the mist obscured her expression, and the shop instantly became quiet.

Aragaki Ai paused for a moment and then asked, "School...you haven't been there yet, right? You still have to go to school."

"Well, I'll explain this semester to Tsukinomori and transfer to another school next semester."

Xiangzi was already embarrassed enough in front of Aragaki Ai when he told her his plan, so these things were irrelevant.

After a brief pause, she asked, "Ai, are you at the Municipal Mogu Middle School?"

"You want to transfer?" Aragaki Ai was stunned. "It would be better to go to a girls' school like Hanaoka."

"..."

"Well, I have no objection. However, I won't be attending high school here. I'll definitely go to a high school near Ikebukuro or Shimokitazawa. It's closer to the office."

Seeing Xiaoxiang silent, Xinyuan Ai explained to her, "So, even if you come to my school, I will go to another middle school next year. There is no need for you to come now."

"......Then I'll consider Yuqiu." After hearing what he said, Xiangzi also hesitated.

"Let's see. You can also choose a school with easier academics, or discuss with Chuhua and Hailing and choose the same school?"

Ai Aragaki's tone was as relaxed as possible so as not to put pressure on Xiangzi. If all three of them went to Hanasakigawa Girls' College, it would be convenient to take leave for rehearsal.

"...I'll think about it."

In any case, he could never go back to Tsukinomori, and Xiangzi didn't want to see his former classmates again.

Xiangzi didn't want to continue this topic, so he lowered his head, ate his ramen, and paid with him.

This place is very close to the rental house, so close that you can walk back in just over ten minutes.

After the two of them ate, the night suddenly became less cold.

The blue-haired girl noticed that the other person slowed down his pace, keeping the same width and frequency as her, so that the two of them could walk side by side.

She tilted her head, frowned, and pursed her lips.

I should be happy that he's taking care of her like this, but... I feel a little unwilling.

It should be returned to Mu.

The girl's eyebrows would occasionally raise, the corners of her mouth would droop, and she would cover her chest, trying to suppress her emotions.

Aragaki Ai noticed that something was wrong with her, but instead of asking her, she asked.

"Xiaoxiang, why don't you stop working and devote yourself to Mujica?"

“…..not enough money.”

But Xiangzi always remembered the original agreement. Aragaki Ai did not pity her, but made a deal with her. Both the residence and the food were exchanged for five million.

She has not quit her job yet, just to save up the five million and return it to Aragaki Ai.

That way, I won't be dependent on him anymore.
