The social phobia substitute will not dream of the band girl

It was obvious that he was referring to Yukina Minato, the young singer who had temporarily neglected what was truly important for some reason.

But to Enka, who was unaware of this, this was more than just a provocation, and the person who was pressing her at this moment obviously had not realized this yet.

“Obviously, listeners may forget the singer, the lyrics, when and where they heard it, but just a simple melody can make them recall the emotions and the scene at that time!”

Although there are many scientific evidences, Pingxin only wants to refute Enka with his own words because these are his true thoughts.

"..."

She was surprised, but that didn't mean she would easily change her mind because of ordinary letters.

It has always been like this, it should be like this, and it is like this now.

"No matter how tear-jerking a song is, you don't stand on the stage and cry while performing it. Instead, you follow the rhythm of the score and the rhythm of the score—"

"But if you sing a beautiful song while crying, it will definitely leave a much deeper impression on many people than if you sing it normally, if it is full of true feelings!"

"..."

She had never seen him so tough before; this was his true heart, Enka was sure of it.

But just because he didn't show such sincerity before, can we judge that the previous ordinary letters were [fake]?

Enka is now also examining her own problems, even though she won't say anything on the surface.

"...Then let's just leave it at that."

After all, when it comes to memorable moments, they must all have had the same memory on that rainy day.

Chapter 11: Rain

"I feel like I've been seeing Enka-senpai holding that box a lot lately~"

"...Your imagination."

As she spoke, Higuchi Enka put the jewel box she had received from Hirashin into her pocket. Since it was only the size of a fist, there was no problem carrying it with her.

It just makes people sigh once again that this woman is so calm even when she is lying with her eyes open——

At least that's what it looks like. Different from Bailu Qiansheng's [Smiling Iron Mask], what kind of complicated emotions are hidden underneath the [Cold Iron Mask]?

"Lovely Koito (learning keyboard): It's raining really hard, and due to the expected disruption to public transportation, I might be late for today's meeting."

"...send."

Following Enka's instructions, Koito edited the message and sent it.

"Not bad, you're a member of society, Koito."

Like her personality, Toru Asakura's way of praising others is somewhat unique.

"Nobu-chan: I understand. Do you want me to pick you up? The car might be a little slow. By the way, do you need an umbrella, raincoat, or rain boots?"

"Ah, what a quick reply."

"Ahaha~ I always feel like Hira Nobu's fingers are really powerful~"

"..."

Ichikawa Hina is just like Asakura Toru. In short, she is different from ordinary people, even when she is praised.

If it were anyone else, Enka might have overthought it, but since it was Hina, she was somewhat used to it.

But she was still in a bad mood, perhaps because of the rainy day, and her brows were furrowed.

It is July in Perkins, a period known as the "rainy season." There will be many days like this, and many things that make people upset.

For example, the constant rain, the occasional typhoon, the smelly clothes that never dry, and the mold that secretly grows in the corners of the house...

It's really annoying, and there's no oil here—

"What should I do...should I tell you?" Koito asked.

"Actually, I think-"

"Ahaha~ I sent him a message, and it said it'll be here soon~"

"Hirashin: OK, I'll be there right away~"...Hina showed the chat history in her hand.

"..."

Enka: I think...

Hinana: I don’t want to know what you think, I want to know what I think!

So what else can she do?

So Higuchi Enka could only express "I have no opinion" through silence... just like that box.

Thinking of this, Enka fiddled with the small box in her pocket. Although the lock on it had been removed, it still had its own lock.

Thanks to this, she could hesitate as much as she wanted whether to open it or not... no, it should be said whether to check it or not. After all, the lock that really bound it had already been broken by a crazy monkey.

Ichikawa Hinana wasn't one to sit idle. She tapped on her phone and asked, "Well, what should I do next?"

Even though I just remembered it now, this school seems to have a normal level of security, with no one allowed to enter...

But until now, no one really cares, right?

"On the other hand, is there anything we can do?" Enka asked.

Well... answering questions with questions has been around for a while now. Anyway, there's no red horned triple-speed police officer present so it doesn't matter, right?

"Hmm~~~~"

In short, we must first rule out things like doing homework and previewing tomorrow's lessons. I guess no one here wants to do this except Koito... at least not now.

"I, I have some snacks!...Want some?"

"Ah~~~~"

Without waiting for the other three to answer, Ping Xin, who had appeared behind Koito out of nowhere, put his chin on her head and shook it left and right to tickle her gently.

"Ah, it's Shin-chan, when did you get here!?"

"Just arrived... Wow, it's raining so hard~"

After Mao took a bag of snacks, Pingxin also joined the group hiding from the rain. Unfortunately, before he could take two bites, half of the snacks were taken away by the three other cats nearby. As a result, none of them could eat more than a few bites.

"But it doesn't matter! ... Qiangqiang, I brought some snacks with me when I came here~"

Ping Xin took out a handful of snacks from somewhere, which included jelly, milk candy, lollipops, chocolate and other things. It is said that they are very good for luring... and coaxing children.

"Oh~!"

“Ahaha~!”

"Thank you, thank you!"

"..."

Rainy days often make people feel depressed and cold due to air pressure, light, images, etc., but these snacks that can replenish calories and improve mood can solve this problem well.

Ping Xin invited heroes from all over the world, men and women. In short, they ate like this, leaning against the wall, squatting in the corner, and leaning against the handrail, with dark clouds in the sky, heavy rain outside, and not-so-wonderful music.

"...Speaking of which, when will our school's wind band be able to play well?"

"Eh, isn't it good?"

Tou didn't care much about it. After all, this kind of BGM was never the most important thing, and she had always been able to tell the difference.

“Not only can I not play the instrument well, but I keep getting stuck on the same exercises.”

"Isn't it one of those difficult pieces?"

"...Do you really think so?"

Enka has some complaints about Hina and Toru's comments. If it were Hirashin, she would definitely be furious by now.

Among the four, Enka and Koito are the most serious about learning music theory and other knowledge, but the former always works hard in private without being discovered...which is commonly known as learning secretly.

"Ahaha~ That's unknown~"

"Haha...it seems so simple."

I ate most of the snacks because if I ate any more, it would affect my ability to finish my meal, so the snacks disappeared depending on the mood.

"It's about time... Let's go."

"Hmm." Asakura Toru, who had been sitting on the steps, stood up. "...Come to think of it, the letter arrived so quickly. Were you nearby?"

"Well...I just wanted to see you all so badly that I flew over here~"

"Ahaha~ So happy~!"

What is there to be happy about?

It's just sweet talk to make people happy...

Today, Enka tied her hair into a low ponytail for easy movement because of physical education class. It seems that with this change in appearance, her personality will become more assertive.

Like a proud white swan, with a beautiful, slender and white neck, aloof yet affectionate eyes, and a pure love that is loyal to only one partner throughout one's life.

But if it was this man, it might not be true.

Somewhere in her heart, in the corner that she sneered at and rejected, there was someone who believed in him.

"...It feels like the rain is getting heavier, isn't it?"

"Eh!?"

Enka looked up at the sky, which was covered with dark clouds.

"Hehe~...That means I came at the right time. Let's go now, everyone~"

Following his footsteps, everyone embarked on the journey home...

pat, pat.

Chapter 23 Crow

"This is Hina's home. Remember to come and play with me after your visit~"

"Haha, next time I will definitely..."

By the way, didn’t I come to visit you before when I was a producer?

...Is that what this means?

No, no, no, which side are you from?

Today, Hiranobu also felt happy and troubled because of Hina Ichikawa. This kind of child is really interesting.

"Well, I'm home too... Bye~!"

Hina and Koito were sent home one after another, and then Hirashin continued walking with Asakura Toru and Higuchi Enka.

Rainy days always make people feel depressed, so in this kind of weather, the desire to share...that is, the desire to talk to others will be particularly strong.

“The more I learn about singing, the more I feel that technique is indispensable – you can’t do it without sophisticated technique.”

Whether it is being moved, intoxicated, or expressing and displaying freely and comfortably, it is all technique.

"Yeah... indeed."

The answer was so light and casual that it made her, who was sensitive by nature, feel as if she was being ignored.

But if I turn around, I will definitely see his smiling face, so there is no need to even confirm it.

"Oh, I'm angry..."

Maybe not just now, but definitely a little now.

"I simply reject the notion of technology supremacy, not the inherent resistance to learning technology itself... So-called technology is actually the experience passed down by our predecessors. As the most adept learner on this planet, we rely on this heritage to maintain our foothold."

So denying the act of [learning technology] is denying human history itself...Is that what he meant?

"Although it may sound ironic coming from me... you really have a very low opinion of yourself."

When a fan asked about [how to sing well and what issues need to be paid attention to], your answer was that you couldn't give appropriate advice and should consult a professional singing teacher.

But if there really is no emotion involved, why would you practice it over and over again?

While walking, after practice, in bed...
