Looking at Chihaya Aine who was extremely shocked in front of him, Nakagawa Shin also complained with a subtle expression.
After all, no matter what, Toyokawa Shoko's name is still recorded in Xiaodeng's lyrics book, and even Nakagawa Nobuyuki can remember it.
"I don't have time to care about that... because I'm always being scolded by Rikki."
It would be fine if he didn't mention this. As soon as he mentioned this, the little pink-haired boy pursed his lips with a look of grievance and complained mutteringly.
“Don’t blame Shiina. After all, Aine’s previous guitar did have a lot of problems…”
Nakagawa Nobuyuki's brows twitched, and he couldn't help but think of the little pink-haired girl who was completely a slut from beginning to end that day.
To be honest, it was all thanks to Shiina Riki. Although she always put a lot of pressure on Chihaya Aine after the little pink-haired girl made a mistake, she also really taught the little pink-haired girl how to play it...
However, after the little pink-haired girl made mistakes repeatedly in the same place, Shiina Riki became the guy who could only use frosty eyes to put pressure on Chihaya Aine.
"…Xin, can I ask you for a favor?"
Toyokawa Shoko's white fingers gently drew circles on the lunch box. The faint friction sound was definitely not pleasant to hear.
"...When the time comes, can you compose a few songs with me?"
Toyokawa Shoko calmed down her depressed mood a little, tried not to make her state appear too strange, and forced a smile.
Kasuga Shadow... Of course, there are some Kasuga Shadow reasons, but there is a more critical issue...
At this moment, Toyokawa Shoko suddenly realized that... there was no place prepared for Nakagawa Nobuyuki in [Ave Mujica].
...Didn't we say we would form a band together? Why did you believe...
To be honest, Toyokawa Shoko is not the kind of girl who would think about all kinds of things every day, and Nakagawa Shinya did say something like "joining two bands at the same time."
But here is the problem.
If Shin is active with everyone from It'S MyGO and Ave Mujica at the same time... Since he is responsible for composing music, Shin will of course spend more time with Deng and the others...
what about me?
"...I think Xiangzi's composing skills are much better than mine, right?"
However, Nakagawa Nobuyuki smiled a little embarrassedly at this time, and did not say such things reluctantly.
If I and Shiina in my normal state are complementary mortals, then Shoko is definitely at a level that my current self cannot reach.
Asking myself and Xiangzi to compose music... wouldn't that just be a drag?
"..."
There was a sudden stab in Toyokawa Shoko's heart. For some reason, she felt a little aggrieved and her nose felt a little sour.
Didn't you say you wanted to form a band with me? Why are you now...
If you don't plan to come with me... why invite me -
"I think the role of agent is good."
As if unaware of Xiangzi's aggrieved expression, Nakagawa Nobuyuki just spoke naturally under the curious gaze of the little pink-haired boy beside him.
"Xiangzi, think about it, there will be a lot of negotiations to do. If you go there by yourself, it will definitely take a lot of time, right?"
"So, I have plenty of time to work part-time on weekdays anyway, as long as I can get the same salary as working at a convenience store... being a manager or something, it's always more reassuring to have someone I own, right?"
Nakagawa Nobuyuki looked back at Toyokawa Shoko in front of him with a smile and offered his suggestions sincerely.
"The agent... seems to be very high-end."
The little pink-haired boy murmured, seeming to be somewhat interested.
On the other side, the girl with short white hair naturally heard the conversation here.
...Ah, where's the band?
If Ran and the others could stay on the rooftop like usual, they might be able to help these kids a little bit.
Thinking of this, Qingye Mocha's smile couldn't help but become a little more lonely.
222
Chapter 222: So don’t make phone calls during lunch.
"Everyone, I'm back!"
Following the sound of hurried footsteps, Xiaodeng quickly opened the door to the rooftop, still holding his lyrics book tightly in his arms.
Because of the frequent going up and down stairs, Xiaodeng was breathing cutely at this moment, and a thin layer of sweat could be seen on his fair forehead.
However, even so, Xiaodeng did not stop, but hurriedly ran to the three of them, his face full of excitement and happiness.
Without even having the time to sit down, Xiaodeng just half-knelt on the rooftop and opened his lyrics book with great joy.
"... [Lost Star Call]?"
Having just learned that Shin wanted to be her manager, Toyokawa Shoko, who had calmed down a little, whispered the strange title of the lyrics on the lyrics book.
"Hmm! This song..."
As he spoke, Xiao Deng raised his somewhat dazed gaze, stared closely at Nakagawa Nobu in front of him, and said softly: "…Nobu also helped me a lot!"
Of course it helped me a lot...
...Although, Xin didn't know it yet, in fact... I had deceived him at that time... with that aggrieved tone and animal-like posture...
Because, as long as I have classmate Xin to accompany me... everything will be fine!
A small sense of dependence has formed in Xiaodeng's heart.
"Isn't it good?"
At this moment, Chihaya Aine didn't care about so many things. She just approached Toyokawa Shoko with some pride and spoke with a smile.
“…It’s really good.”
Looking at the extremely familiar handwriting, Shoko Toyokawa couldn't help but feel some emotion in her heart.
The lyrics written by Deng are indeed what is in his heart.
Maybe others can’t see it...but, these words are basically the feeling that Deng wrote to Xin, right?
...I can't explain the reason clearly, maybe it's because...I feel the same way about Xin in some ways.
For example...this sentence.
【Words that were born after tears were shed.】
...This lyric...is a bit too appropriate.
"… Letter, music, etc., can I listen to it when the time comes?"
After carefully closing the notebook, Toyokawa Shoko gently moved her gaze and looked at Nakagawa Nobuyuki who was still playing with his mobile phone beside her.
"Don't wait until then... it's good enough now."
Nakagawa Nobuyuki, who was suddenly called, didn't say anything. He glanced at Toyokawa Shoko who was sighing in front of him, which made Nakagawa Nobuyuki a little amused. He immediately took out his new mobile phone and started browsing.
But then, under Toyokawa Shoko's somewhat inexplicable expectant gaze, Nakagawa Nobuyuki actually lost his composure.
It’s not a big problem... The problem is that it seems that the final revision of Zhonghe Xin’s mobile phone is not stored, so it is impossible to release it now.
Unless Nakagawa Xin immediately ran downstairs and hurriedly got his computer up, there would be no way the door would open.
"...Wait a minute, I'll contact Shiina, she should have it there too."
Nakagawa Nobuyuki cleared his throat slightly to hide his slight embarrassment.
"...Xin-san, can I just make a video call on Line...?"
However, at this time, Xiaodeng's eyes lit up, he tugged at Nakagawa Nobuyuki's sleeve, and spoke with a slightly hopeful tone.
Xiao Deng probably wants everyone who used to be in Crychic to know that... everyone is no longer divided.
Thank you, classmate Xin, for bringing everyone back.
“…I feel like I’ll definitely get scolded if I call now.”
Nakagawa Nobuyuki looked at Shiina Riki's cute panda avatar and his brows twitched slightly.
[Huh? As a composer, you don't even have your own music saved? ! ]
I feel like I will be tortured like this...
But never mind... seeing how expectant Xiaodeng looks, I'll just hit him.
Thinking of this, Nakagawa Nobuyuki shook his head slightly and clicked the video call button.
……
As the melody of the Lost Star's Cry slowly sounded, Shiina Riki, who had just finished his lunch box and was wiping his mouth, saw a call request suddenly appear on his phone.
"It seems like you really like the new song."
He nodded to Sanjiao Chuhua who happened to pass by him as a greeting, then Yawata Kailing raised his eyebrows and looked at the phone with some interest.
"…It's because you insisted on saying that before."
Giving a displeased look to Hachiman Kailing in front of him, Shiina Riki looked at the irritating muscular man pushing a stone on the screen, seeming to be quite unhappy, and let out a light click of the tongue.
Zhonghe... Although I don't know why this guy is calling me now, I guess it's not a good thing...
Humph, I have already seen through this guy.
beep.
However, despite being angry with Nakagawa Nobuyuki in his heart, Shiina Riki still answered the phone.
Afterwards, Nakagawa Nobuyuki's iconic smile appeared on the screen of Shiina Riki's mobile phone... At the same time, Shiina Riki also saw his own dazed expression on the phone, as well as Hachiman Kailing's face who was also trying to hold back a smile.
Video! ?
Although he didn't know why he did this, it was a subconscious action. Shiina Riki immediately reached out and pressed the front camera of the phone.
Afterwards, hearing Nakagawa Nobuyuki's "Hey wait a minute——" sound, he angrily turned off his camera.
"Hello! What are you doing calling me in the middle of the day?"
Looking at Nakagawa Nobuyuki who looked regretful, Shiina Riki spoke in a rather unfriendly tone.
Really, can't you wait until the person finishes eating before calling? If the face is dirty... it's too embarrassing.
"It's not a very important thing... Anyway, Shiina, do you still have the song "Lost Star Call"?"
Hearing Shiina Riki's iconic fierce voice, Nakagawa Nobuyuki seemed a little embarrassed and spoke softly.
"Huh? As a composer, you don't even have your own music saved?!"
Shiina Riki frowned, and a thin layer of frost formed on her pretty face in an instant, and the temperature around her dropped a few degrees.
However, even so, Shiina Riki still gently picked up the phone, spoke fiercely, and clicked on the option to transfer files.
"This time, save the music for me properly."
As a result, Miss Hailing, who was sitting opposite, had to work even harder to hold back her laughter, and ended up getting glared at by the angry Shiina Riki.
"Lixi..."
As a result, Xiaodeng's happy little face suddenly squeezed into the camera and stuck tightly together with Nakagawa Nobuyuki.
"……lamp?"
Shiina Riki looked at Xiaodeng-classmate who suddenly appeared in front of him and slowed down his tone subconsciously.
Then, Shiina Riki reacted... This guy was actually having lunch with Deng!
However, the little pink-haired girl who squeezed into the camera right after him and greeted Shiina Tatsuki excitedly made Shiina Tatsuki's face even more frozen.
But this is nothing, with a turn of the camera...
"Xiang, Xiangzi?"
Looking at Toyokawa Shoko who was a little reserved and waving towards the camera in front of him, Shiina Tachibana was stunned unconsciously and spoke in disbelief.
Although... a few days ago Su Shi said something about Xiangzi and Zhonghe dating... but now they are actually having dinner together?!
Even with Deng and the others...
Shiina Riki subconsciously wanted to ask, but suddenly he saw the white-haired girl from the corner behind Xiangzi...
Also, there is Mocha-senpai from Afterglow! ?
