I just want a single ending

After fantasizing for a while, Kamikawa Saku sat up again, intending to make the "Ichishizuku Sora" that he had made on the learning card by himself.

Although I can feel that the song is good just by looking at it, I still have to listen to it with my own ears.

Since he only needed to copy the music he had already composed from his mind, and combined with his own professional composing skills, it didn't take long for him to complete the demo of the song.

Click to listen.

“…It’s extremely terrifying.”

This was Kamikawa Suku's evaluation after listening to it.

If we were to simply praise this piece of music, we could use all the beautiful words in the world to describe it.

If you compare it with the music composed by Tatsuki Shiina, it can only be called a deliberate murder.

A murder against Shiina Riki's self-confidence.

She had already been struck by the genius, and she finally managed to pull herself together and wanted to compose again.

Under such circumstances, if she heard this song, the consequences would be completely predictable.

There's no way, this is not the power a normal human should have.

But it is a pure plug-in creation that has exceeded the boundaries of genius.

"Perfect, so perfect..."

After listening to it again, Kamikawa Su couldn't help but sigh.

He tried to revise a small paragraph at his current level, but found he had no idea where to start.

Any modification of any part would be detrimental to the piece.

This song is the perfect song for the lyrics of "Ichishizuku Sora" written by Tomo Takamatsu.

There was no chance of anyone raising any objection.

When he thought that Tachibana Shiina was still composing the lyrics, Kamikawa Su felt more and more that she must not be able to hear this song.

After taking a few deep breaths, he decided to copy the arrangement from his mind as well.

Of course, Kamikawa Suku simply wanted to compose this song.

I don't plan to use it with the band, nor do I plan to release it.

Such a song is really too scary for a high school band.

Mainly because in this era, it is not difficult to become famous overnight because of a song.

But doing so would only cause a greater blow to Shiina Riki.

Compared to being famous, she is more important.

What's more, I use learning cards to compose and arrange music in order to conduct experiments and explore more uses of learning cards.

This piece is a product of that experiment.

So, keep it.

Just listen to it when you have nothing to do.

With this idea in mind, Kamikawa Saku resisted sleepiness and completed the learning card version of "Ichishizuku Sora".

···

The next day, Wednesday.

When it was time for the band's rehearsal, Tatsuki Shiina, wearing her school uniform, arrived at the practice room on time.

But what is strange is that Shiina Riki seems to be in good condition.

But she spoke very rarely, and even made frequent mistakes in the "Spring Shadow" that she had practiced many times.

Even Chihaya Aine could express her dissatisfaction with Shiina Riki regarding their training.

She didn't make any rebuttal.

"What's wrong with you?"

Taking advantage of the break, Shangchuan Su walked to her side and asked with concern.

Hearing his voice, Shiina Riki's body instinctively trembled as if he had encountered a terrible monster.

Then, he replied in the lowest voice, "I'm thinking about composing."

"Didn't I tell you that you can take your time composing the music?" Kamikawa Su said this again.

"..."

Shiina Riki didn't respond, as if he was immersed in his own world again.

Seeing this, Shangchuan Su didn't know what to say.

But when he was about to leave her, he noticed a small detail.

how to say?

He felt that Shiina Riki's eyes had dimmed a lot, as if there was no light in them.

Is it caused by staying up too late?

It should not be.

Let’s not talk about the fact that Matsudeng forbade her to stay up late. Just looking at Shiina Riki’s performance, there is no sign of her staying up late.

There were no dark circles or signs of lethargy at all.

Kamikawa Saku, who had just pulled all-nighters for several days in a row and had a deep understanding of this, could be 100% sure that Shiina Riki did not stay up late or pull all-nighters.

There was nothing wrong with her body, which only meant that the dullness in her eyes was probably caused by the re-composition.

In that case, there is no need to worry about anything.

Just wait for Tatsuki Shiina to compose the song.

···

Thursday was the band's practice time, and Shiina Riki arrived on time wearing her school uniform.

She was in the same condition as yesterday.

Kamikawa Supo helped explain.

However, he didn’t know if it was his illusion, but Shiina Riki’s eyes dimmed a little.

Is she really okay?

Let's wait a little longer.

If she's still like this next week, I'll have to take action.

···

It's Friday.

Since today is not the band's practice time, Kamikawa Su plans to go to Starry to take a look.

As soon as he got on the tram, several messages popped up while he was playing with his phone.

Yawata Kailing: [Including last week, Riki hasn't been to school for two weeks. Do you know what happened? ]

Yawata Kairin: [Is she still staying at home composing music?]

Hachiman Kairin: [It's been quite a while.]

"Eh?"

The moment he saw the news, Kamikawa Su realized something was wrong.

How could she not have been to school for two weeks?

It was obvious that when the band was practicing two days ago, Shiina Tatsuki was always wearing his school uniform.

Wait a moment……

It seems that wearing school uniform does not really mean going to school.

What if Shiina Riki just comes to practice in her school uniform?

Then everything would be wrong.

Not going to school last week could be explained as composing music, but what was the reason for not going to school this week?

Or for composing?

But didn’t Tatsuki Shiina plan to compose music slowly?

This doesn't match what she said.

And there is...

Kamikawa Su thought of Shiina Riki's gradually dimming eyes.

He suddenly had an ominous premonition.

No, we can't wait any longer.

Go find her now.

······

"..."

Sitting in front of the computer, Tatsuki Shiina stared blankly at the composition interface displayed on the screen with dull eyes.

Can’t do it, can’t do it, can’t do it…

I can't write a song that can compare with "Haruhi Shadow" at this moment.

Yes, that's it.

Shiina Riki was absolutely certain of this.

She was not shocked at all, but just faced the reality.

The cruelest reality.

It is impossible for a mortal to surpass a genius through hard work.

When she first decided to recompose the music, she was full of confidence.

I believe that I can do it as long as I work hard, so I even took Friday off.

I thought that Friday plus the weekend would be just enough time to compose a new song.

To her surprise, she finished the new song in just one day instead of three days.

As a result, she found that the new song was not as good as the one that could be modified by Yao Lena at will.

She thought it was due to her poor condition, so she had a good sleep and started composing again.

Just like the result last time, the song is still quite ordinary.

It's even getting worse.

At that time, Shiina Riki already knew the source of the problem.

Yes, that's inspiration.

The version of the song I made that was praised as good by Kamikawa Tsune was because I was in a state of bursting inspiration.

So, what happens when the inspiration disappears?

The answer is simple, those two compositions gave the best conclusion.

Her level returned to its original level.

It is the level at which the current Kamikawa Suzu can modify the composition at will.

After realizing this, Shiina Riki tried hard to regain his inspiration.

Needless to say, the result was a failure.

Inspiration is not something you can get just by wanting it, it is something you can only encounter by chance.

At this time, Tatsuki Shiina no longer expected to create a song that could compare with "Kasuga Shadow".
