Pointing to a section on the screen, Nakagawa Nobuyuki, who was tapping his left earphone with his finger, looked a little thoughtful and looked at Shiina Tatsuki who was sitting next to him.
Because there was no suitable table in the practice room, I could only put the laptop on my thighs. And because Shiina Tatsuki and Nakagawa Shin needed to make final changes to the song, the two of them really had to sit next to each other.
If you look at it from this angle, you can just see the teardrop mole at the corner of Shiina Tatsuki's eye, which, combined with the girl's particularly serious and pretty face, creates a quite harmonious feeling.
"… Try adding it."
Holding his slightly tense face, Tachibana Shiina, wearing the right earphone, slowly operated the mouse and modified the music score on the computer.
While moving the mouse, Shiina Riki twisted his body slightly as if he was sitting very uncomfortably, and complained in dissatisfaction: "Next time you buy headphones, buy a longer cable... You smell terrible."
"……Have it?"
Nakagawa Nobuyuki was stunned and subconsciously smelled his clothes, but he didn't smell any strange smell. He couldn't help but look at Shiina Riki in front of him again.
But now that I think about it, could it be the smell of sweat from sitting on the train today... Oops, I really didn't notice it.
"…If I say yes, then yes!"
After giving a gentle glare to the bewildered Nakagawa Nobuyuki, the completely unreasonable Shiina Riki sent the revised new score to the group.
The complexion was strangely ruddy.
"This should be the final version. Let's close it one last time."
After gently tucking her smooth hair behind her ears, Shiina Riki stood up with a serious expression and looked at everyone in front of her who were eager to try.
"...Nakagawa, I'm still begging you to listen."
He pursed his lips lightly to calm down his somewhat inexplicable and expectant mood, then Shiina Riki blinked and looked at Nakagawa Nobuyuki on the side.
Nakagawa Nobuyuki was already used to Shiina Riki's hot-and-cold attitude, so he smiled and nodded.
Shiina's mouth looks super hard, but it's actually very soft. Nakagawa Nobuyuki knows this very well.
Remember the pile of notes that Shiina Riki left for Nakagawa Nobu at the RiNG front desk?
The beautiful handwriting on the note, apart from the one posted on the counter, was also seen on the composition book lent to him by Tatsuki Shiina.
How could Nakagawa Nobuyuki not understand the relationship behind this?
"...No problem, let's just follow this new one, okay? Remember the newly added harmonies."
After Nakagawa Xin placed the computer safely and carefully, he turned around, nodded to everyone, and rubbed his hands with some anticipation.
I have just spent such a long time revising it with Shiina, and now... I can see clearly what it looks like.
Da, da, da, da—
The sound of the drumsticks hitting each other is particularly crisp.
Then, Kaname Rakuna, who was sitting on the floor, seemed to have been waiting for a long time, and followed the drum beat perfectly to start playing...
……
【Everyone, stay with me. 】
When I thought of such a beautiful thing that was like a dream, I couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
Ever since everyone in Crychic suddenly fell apart... I often have dreams like this, dreaming that everyone is back together again...
Obviously, I am the one who needs to practice the most, right? Is it really okay to have such an irresponsible dream?
But now, it seems like everyone is really...reunited again?
If this was a dream... I really, really don't want to wake up.
Although I knew that my thoughts were too greedy, my eyes still involuntarily drifted towards classmate Xin who was not far away.
Xin's smile...is so beautiful.
Is this a compliment to me?
My heart suddenly started beating faster and faster, and I could only subconsciously turn my head and look at the people behind me who were playing.
...Everyone, as expected, is getting along well with me.
Su Shi, Aine, Riki... and Ryuna-chan who joined last.
I... I'm not dreaming after all.
...At this moment, I can't even control my shaking chest. The song now...is not sung at all, but rather overflowed.
Yes...it [overflowed] from my chest and became my lyrics...and my voice.
...Aine, thank you so much for bringing Nobuyuki to me.
If... we are all [lost stars]... then Nobuyuki is like the sun, emitting [gravity] that captures everyone.
...I was once so confused, like a "lost child".
Xiaoxiang... is probably also a lost child, otherwise, why would he be attracted by the [gravity] of Xin?
At this moment, I suddenly felt that maybe what I am singing at this moment... [Lost Stars Calling] is everyone's song?
……
The music gradually faded.
"Huh...huh..."
The microphone in his hand slowly dropped down, and Xiaodeng, looking somewhat exhausted, was now leaning on his thigh, breathing softly.
"It's absolutely perfect! The effect is so good!"
At this moment, Nakagawa Nobuyuki slapped his thigh, looking extremely excited, and rushed forward in two steps.
"Xiao Deng sang really well, the harmony was just right, and the performance was absolutely amazing!"
Perhaps because he was very upset with Nakagawa Shin who was suddenly very happy, Shiina Riki, with a little sweat on his head, still said stubbornly:
“Oh… No, don’t be so happy, it’s like you’re playing…”
However, Nakagawa Nobuyuki, who was in high spirits, didn't care about that at the moment. He immediately turned his head and looked at the little pink-haired girl who was also breathing lightly and pinching her slightly red fingers.
“And Aine, this time Aine’s level is really on point – seriously! She’s so smooth, doesn’t seem like Aine at all?”
Although Chihaya Aine, who was a bit vindictive, was still a little angry with Nakagawa Nobuyuki, she couldn't get angry when she saw Nakagawa Nobuyuki in such a high spirit.
And, the next moment...
"Just now, your fingers must have hurt, right?"
At this moment, Chihaya Aine listened to Nakagawa Nobuyuki's gentle words, felt herself being gently lifted up and caressed by his fingertips, and her pretty face, which was already slightly red, suddenly turned red all over. She could only mumble in a low voice:
“…No, it doesn’t hurt.”
“… And… And! What do you mean by [Not like Aine at all]?! I’ve been practicing hard too! And, and—”
Although she was arguing as loudly as she could just now, Chihaya Aine's voice suddenly became quieter, she turned her head away and spoke softly:
"And everyone is watching..."
Yes, I am speechless about Xinxin! Didn't you have to keep this secret from Soyorin? Why are you getting so intimate now?
But...it's not bad.
Chihaya Aine blushed and didn't seem to be planning to pull her hand away.
At this moment, looking at Nakagawa Nobuyuki and Chihaya Aine holding hands gently, Nagasaki Motoyo, who was holding a bass in her arms, was also smiling, but she still narrowed her eyes slightly.

Chapter 201 [It'S MyGO]
"It seems like Nakagawa-san is really happy."
At this time, Nagasaki Motoyo, who was slowly adjusting her breathing, smiled gently, looking a little surprised.
"Of course you'd be happy, right? After all, if you think about it, this is good enough to be performed live, right?"
With a smile of emotion on his face, Nakagawa Nobuyuki showed no intention of denying it, and just followed Nagasaki Motoyo's words and admitted it.
Really, even I didn’t expect that I would be so happy?
"Hmph, like a primary school student."
Perhaps because he was very unhappy with Nakagawa Nobu's childish behavior, Shiina Riki gave Nakagawa Nobu a look for no reason and pretended to be cold and said:
"If you hadn't gone to work somewhere else, everyone would have been able to play it during the first round of practice. How can you still be happy?"
Well, it seems that he is complaining about the fact that Nakagawa Nobuyuki went to work somewhere else.
"Primary school students are just elementary school students, isn't that good enough~"
Nakagawa Nobuyuki was not angry at all because of Shiina Riki's deliberately cold words. He just walked to Shiina Riki with a smile and gently extended his hands.
"……what?"
Seeing Nakagawa Nobuyuki suddenly reaching out his two hands towards him, Shiina Riki subconsciously frowned, put the drumsticks in his hands into a cross shape, and slightly distanced himself from him.
"Shiina, remember what I told you when we first met?"
Nakagawa Nobuyuki chuckled and looked at Shiina Riki who was suddenly stunned in front of him.
"…Why should I remember what you said?"
Her pretty face froze slightly, and Shiina Rikki immediately spoke in an unpleasant tone.
“I said, only [children on their first day of kindergarten] would feel ashamed to express happiness?”
Not caring about the alert look on Shiina Tachibana in front of him, Nakagawa Nobuyuki just shrugged with a smirk on his face and casually recalled the situation at that time.
As a result, Shiina Rikki immediately opened his eyes wide, and without waiting to think twice, he spoke quickly because he was eager to argue with Nakagawa Nobuyuki in front of him.
"Nonsense! You clearly said it was the first day [children in kindergarten are shy about making friends on the first day]——"
"Wait, you cheated me!"
In an instant, Shiina Riki realized what he had said and paused, looking angrily at Nakagawa Nobuyuki who was running away quickly when he saw the situation was not good.
At this moment, Miss Shiina was waving the drumsticks in her hand, and chasing after Nakagawa Nobuyuki with a mocking look on his face in shame and anger.
"So not only are you very happy now, but you actually remembered what I said?"
With a quick move, he dodged the ruthless iron hand of the embarrassed and angry Shiina Riki. Nakagawa Nobuyuki was now laughing even more happily. While dodging, he continued to speak:
"Compared to elementary school students, kindergarten kids are more childish, right?"
"you shut up!"
"You're obviously happy, so you admit it?"
"I am not happy!"
In the past, it was hard for Shiina Riki to imagine that one day he would use the adjective "gritting his teeth" to describe happiness.
At this time, Nagasaki Motoyo and Xiaodeng, who had been watching the show for a long time, joined the ranks of those trying to stop the fight with a cheerful look on their faces.
Of course, there are also the pink-haired girls who are looking for revenge and cheering for Shiina Riki.
Looking at the noisy people in front of her, Yao Lena, who was still sitting on the floor, narrowed her eyes slightly.
...Interesting everyone.
……
"Okay, let's make it this day, okay?"
Nagasaki Motoyo clapped her hands lightly and looked at Yamabuki Saya who was recording the information in front of her. She was obviously in a very happy mood. After thanking her softly, she looked at the people around her happily.
On this day, there happened to be live performances by several other bands, which was perfect for everyone to act as a transition band.
"The time is fine, but what's the name of the band?"
Yamabuki Saya checked again to see if there was any problem with the information she wrote, blinked, and then raised her eyes again to look at everyone who were whispering to each other happily.
"Eh?"
Perhaps because it was somewhat unexpected, everyone was stunned and looked at each other and blinked.
Recently, because of what Ms. Hailing said, everyone has been practicing very hard... and completely neglected the issue of naming.
"...No, you haven't come up with a name yet, right?"
Miss Rinrinko at the side twitched her brows and complained softly about the particularly makeshift group.
