I just want a single ending

"I……"

Shiina Riki finally let go of the mouse.

I don’t want to give up, I really don’t want to give up.

Just once, just once!

Even though there is only one chance to compose music for Takamatsu Touma's lyrics.

She knew that the best solution was to leave the composition to Kamikawa Susumu, a talented composer.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have had such a thought just now.

But Kamikawa Suku has only just started learning composition, right?

Even if he is a composing genius, can he really complete a song after only learning for such a short time?

Shiina Riki didn't know the answer.

She herself is not a composing genius, so naturally she doesn't know the specific situation.

But according to common sense and the knowledge he demonstrated yesterday, he definitely cannot write a complete song now.

So, I should be the one responsible for composing music for the band now.

In other words, as long as the composition of "Ishizuku Sora" is completed before the composing genius Kamikawa Sho has fully learned how to compose, there will be no problem.

In this way, I have at least composed a song based on Takamatsu Deng's lyrics.

That being said, she would not rush things just to make things happen.

If she composed the music casually and haphazardly, not to mention whether Kamikawa Suku could recognize it, she herself would not be able to pass this hurdle.

Those are the lyrics of Takamatsu Deng, worthy of the best music.

So, just once!

Just give yourself a chance for inspiration to strike during the composition process.

Only in this way can I make up the gap between myself, a mortal, and the composing genius.

Only in this way can the composing genius Kamikawa Tsurugi completely learn to compose without having to modify his own compositions, allowing the band to continue playing their own music.

Of course, Shiina Riki does not intend to pin all his hopes on inspiration.

Because there is no way to know whether inspiration will come.

Even if it comes, there is no way to know when it will come.

Therefore, I must continue to work hard on composing music.

This way you won’t miss inspiration when it strikes.

The most important thing is that even if I have no inspiration from beginning to end and never get any favor from myself, I can still compose a song for Takamatsu Deng's lyrics by working hard on composing music.

Even if it needs to be modified later, at least I have tried my best.

She didn't want to give up this opportunity to compose without doing anything.

Besides, she wanted to try it.

Try to see if you can bridge the gap between ordinary people and geniuses through hard work.

She doesn't expect to always surpass genius through hard work, but it should be possible to surpass genius once through hard work, right?

Really, just once!

So, Shiina Riki picked himself up again.

Since the goal was to compose the music for "Ichishizuku Sora" before Kamikawa Sho learned how to compose, time was quite tight.

After all, I really have no way of knowing how fast the composing genius's learning progress is.

The next band rehearsal is on Thursday afternoon.

Then, let’s tentatively set the time as that day.

Try to compose a complete song by Thursday afternoon.

Including today, there are still two days.

There isn't enough time...

After a brief hesitation, Shiina Riki made a decision.

I continued to pretend to be sick and take leave to skip classes to compose music, and combined with staying up late, I still managed to find enough time.

"Sorry, Deng... I'm going to break my contract and stay up late."

After apologizing to Takamatsu Touma in his heart, Shiina Riki devoted himself wholeheartedly to a new round of composition.

Once, you only breach the contract once.

After I finish composing the music for "Ichishizuku Sora", I will no longer breach the contract.

······

Time flies and it is Thursday afternoon.

In the practice room of ring.

Everyone except Shiina Riki has arrived.

Chihaya Aine was chatting casually with Nagasaki Suyo, Takamatsu Deng was squatting next to his schoolbag, wiping a round stone he had picked up from somewhere with a handkerchief, and Kaname Rakuna was eating snacks attentively.

Kamikawa Su was reading the message he had just received.

Yawata Kailing: [Counting last Tuesday, Riki has been on leave for three consecutive days. Do you know what's going on? ]

Yawata Kairin: [The messages I sent her didn't even show as read.]

Yawata Kairin: [Are you sure she really stayed at home to compose music? ]

After reading the message sent by the other party, Shangchuan Su was very surprised.

He didn't expect that Shiina Riki would take such a long leave of absence.

By the way, didn’t I talk about this when I visited her on Tuesday?

Why is Tatsuki Shiina so anxious to finish the composition?

Having said that, no one urged her.

Just like Takamatsu Deng, you put pressure on yourself, right?

If that's the case, then it's the same problem as when we solved Takamatsu Deng's problem. All we have to do is help solve the cause of the other person's stress.

He is already very experienced.

Kamikawa Suku: [When I visited her on Tuesday, she was really skipping classes to compose music at home. I don't know what she did at other times.]

Kamikawa Su: [However, today is our band rehearsal day, let's see if she will come.]

Kamikawa Suku: [If she doesn't come, I'll go directly to her house to look for her.]

There is still some time before he is late, so we will have to wait a while to determine what is going on with Shiina Riki.

Hachiman Kailing: [Okay.]

Then, I chatted with her for a few more minutes before ending the conversation.

Just as Kamikawa Suzu put away his phone, the door of the practice room was pushed open and Shiina Tatsuki, dressed in casual clothes, walked in.

Seeing the clothes she was wearing, Nagasaki Suyo said with a smile: "Ritsuki-chan, you came so late, did you go change clothes first?"

"No, I skipped class."

Shiina Riki answered as a matter of course.

"Skipping class?"

Nagasaki Suyo couldn't help but repeat the word.

Chihaya Aine complained, "A bad girl."

"I composed the music these days, but I haven't arranged it yet."

As he spoke, Shiina Riki took out his cell phone.

Fate favored her, or rather, her hard work paid off.

During the two days of composing, she experienced a burst of inspiration.

It was easy to create a new song that is many times better than the previous version.

Even the version revised by Kamikawa Suzu is far inferior to the current version.

Perhaps, I have really bridged the gap between ordinary people and geniuses.

Relying on bursts of inspiration.

After hearing this, Kaname Lenai swallowed all the snacks in his mouth and picked up his guitar.

Then, wait quietly for the song to start playing.

"So fast, really?" Nagasaki Suyo was very surprised, "Riki-chan is amazing."

"real or fake?"

Chihaya Aine couldn't believe it.

"Want to listen?"

Shiina Riki's gaze swept over everyone in the practice room.

"Ah."

Takamatsu Deng stopped rubbing the stone and walked in front of Shiina Riki.

"hurry up!"

Chihaya Aine and Nagasaki Motoyo came over together and urged.

Glancing at Kamikawa Suzu, who was standing not far away and looking down at his phone, Shiina Riki specifically reminded him, "I'm going to play it now."

"Let it go."

After just reporting to Hachiman Kailing that Shiina Riki was safe, Kamikawa Su was looking forward to her new song.

After turning up the volume on his phone to the maximum to make sure he could hear it, Shiina Riki clicked play.

Then, the passionate music echoed in the practice room.

···

“Very good!”

After the song ended, Nagasaki Suyo couldn't help but applaud.

"The song is really finished." Chihaya Aine said with some emotion.

"How's the light?"

Shiina Tatsuki asked about the lyricist's evaluation.

"Very comfortable."

Gao Songdeng was stunned for a moment, then expressed his thoughts.
