I just want a single ending

After hearing this, Shiina Riki was speechless.

It even feels difficult to breathe.

What's your opinion on this song?

Quite simply, she has no right to judge.

For example, when it comes to songs composed by Toyokawa Shoko, she can still tell the gap between herself and the composing genius.

And in this piece of music, she could only know her own insignificance.

gap?

Maybe it’s the gap between me and Beethoven?

As expected, Takamatsu Deng’s lyrics are meant to be paired with music like this.

This way, you don't have to worry about anything.

Hahahaha...

But for some reason, Shiina Riki couldn't be happy about something that was obviously worth being happy about.

Because why is it not me who has such talent!!!

Give her half, no, one-fifth... no, one-tenth... even a little bit will do.

But why do I have no talent at all?

"Can you tell me what your reaction is?"

At this time, Kamikawa Su's voice rang out.

"I……"

Shiina Riki finally came to his senses, but didn't know how to start.

Kamikawa Suku asked, seemingly puzzled, "Didn't you say you'd already accepted reality? Why do you still look so unwilling?"

"What do you mean you still look unwilling? I've never been willing from the beginning to the end!"

At this moment, Shiina Riki could no longer suppress his emotions.

"I've always wanted to compose music for Deng's lyrics, and I've been working hard on it."

"But what's the result?"

"My talent is only at that level. The songs I composed were modified and revised like garbage!"

"You can modify it, and Lenai can modify it, but I can't modify it to be better."

"The music your friend composed is so good, so good that I don't even dare to think of comparing it with him."

“This is the difference in talent!”

"What else can I do except accept the reality?"

"Come and tell me what to do?"

"Didn't you just say you were here to help me? How are you going to help me?"

"Can you make me a genius from a mortal?"

"If you can do it, I'll do anything!"

I can help you

I can't help you

As she said that, the system options emerged.

And Kamikawa Su made his choice without hesitation.

"Talent is something that can't be changed. I can't make you a genius. But I can, to a certain extent, enable you to compose music that's on par with a composing genius. I might even be able to create a piece that surpasses the one I just played you."

"Of course, this is only possible when I'm composing music for the lyrics of Help Deng."

[Physical Strength Increased by 150]

"Can you really do that?"

Hearing his words, Shiina Riki looked at him with eyes full of desire, and even her voice was trembling.

"It can be done, but the conditions are very harsh." Kamikawa Su stated in advance.

"It doesn't matter, even if the conditions are harsh."

Shiina Riki is totally acceptable.

Rather, it would be strange if the conditions were not harsh enough to allow me to compose a song at the level of a composing genius.

Kamikawa Su met her gaze and asked, "Let me ask first, do you just want to compose the lyrics for Deng?"

"Yes."

Shiina Riki said with certainty.

"Then are you willing to compose music for Deng's lyrics for the rest of your life?" Kamikawa Su asked.

"Of course I do."

Shiina Riki's answer was unusually decisive.

"Then the solution is very simple. You have to compose music for Deng's lyrics for your entire life and fully understand her heart and every word she wrote."

At this point, Kamikawa Suku had nothing to hide and offered a solution.

"W-what do you mean?"

Shiina Riki didn't quite understand.

Will this allow you to create genius-level music?

Could he be deceiving himself?

"Don't get excited yet, I'll explain it to you slowly."

Looking at Shiina Tachikawa who was gradually regaining his former vitality, Kamikawa Suxian comforted him.

"Ah."

Shiina Riki responded obediently.

"First of all, we need to clarify one thing. Will our band always let Deng write the lyrics first, and then compose the music?"

Kamikawa Suku organized his words and began to explain in detail.

"Yes."

Shiina Riki gave an affirmative answer without even thinking.

Although there is a practice of composing music first and then writing lyrics, this band naturally would not do that.

"So, should we compose the music based on the lyrics written by Deng?" Kamikawa Susumu asked.

"Isn't this a matter of course?"

If the lyrics of "Deng" are very sad, we can't make a cheerful song to match it, right?

This is the most basic common sense.

"In that case, can we assume that the closer the lyrics match Deng's, the better the song will be?" Kamikawa Suku continued to push the topic.

"After all, the lyrics come first and the music comes later."

Shiina Riki agrees with this.

"If the lyrics come first, the best song is the one that fits the lyrics, right?"

Let’s take Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5 as an example, which may not be very appropriate.

Is Symphony of Fate good enough?

But what if it were turned into the soundtrack to Happy Birthday?

It just makes people feel weird and out of place.

The lyrics don't match the original Happy Birthday song as well.

I can't say the song is bad, I can only say it doesn't suit the lyrics.

"Ah."

Shiina Riki agrees with this statement.

Kamikawa Su said matter-of-factly, "So, this is the difference between mortals and geniuses. Geniuses can create more suitable music for the lyrics, while mortals can only create music that is mediocre."

"Yes."

This is how Tatsuki Shiina felt her own incompetence.

"By the way, why do you think geniuses can easily come up with more suitable music?" Shangchuan Su played it again.

"...An understanding of the lyrics? I don't know, but it's probably just talent and genius or something like that, right?"

Since he is not a genius, Shiina Riki cannot give a definite answer.

It can only be based on imagination and random guesses.

Kamikawa Su expressed his thoughts: "When composing music for the sake of lyrics, the so-called composing genius is someone who has a strong understanding of the lyrics and can easily write a good song that matches the lyrics."

"Aren't you a composing genius? Why are you so uncertain?" Shiina Riki didn't quite understand.

"How can I explain it best? Simply put, there are certain differences between songwriting geniuses. Even if there's not much difference overall, they might excel in different areas and have unique perspectives, so it's hard to generalize. But in my opinion, genius simply has a stronger understanding of lyrics."

Kamikawa Su tried his best to make her not care too much about her identity as a composing genius.

"Ok."

Shiina Riki accepted this statement.

Anyway, no matter what kind of composing genius there is, he is better than her. This is one thing she can be 100% sure of.

"So, what exactly do you mean by all the things you said?"

After talking for such a long time, Shiina Riki's patience was gradually disappearing.

Especially since he looked so leisurely.

It is hard not to wonder whether Kamikawa Suku is deceiving himself and just stalling for time.

"All that was just prelude. Now we have to get to the point."

Kamikawa Su turned on the screen of his mobile phone and replayed the song "Ichishizuku Sora" that he had produced while using the learning card.

"Based on our conversation just now, we can draw a conclusion. Is this the song that best matches the lyrics of 'Light'?"

"Yes."

Shiina Riki nodded without hesitation.

Apart from this song, she really couldn't think of any other song in the world that would be more suitable for the lyrics of "Ichishizuku Sora".

"Unfortunately, it is not."

Kamikawa Su clicked to stop the music and calmly denied it.

Shiina Riki said in disbelief: "How is that possible? What are you talking about?"

You really think you are an idiot.

No, even if I were an idiot, I wouldn't accept that.

This is complete nonsense.

"Don't you think this piece is perfect?"

Kamikawa Suku still looked unhurried.

"of course."

Shiina Riki willingly admitted this fact.

Kamikawa Su said with a smile, "Based on Takamatsu Touma's lyrics, this is indeed the most perfect song. I think so too."
