"[You always work so hard...]"
"Just standing here at this moment,
“[I’ve tried my best.]”
Listening to Nakagawa Nobu's slow voice, Gao Songdeng felt that his already confused brain became even more confused, and he couldn't even tell east, west, south, or north...
...This, this can be considered as encouragement from classmate Xin.
...But I was so embarrassed...I didn't even dare to open my eyes.
My heart is beating so fast...my palms are itchy...oooh.
"[In order not to be destroyed...]"
"【In order not to lose again.】"
"【I want to protect you...】"
"【I'm right beside you.】"
Using my own lyrics to make Nobuyuki say something like that... I'm really cunning.
Especially... especially in front of everyone, having everyone's trusted classmate say such things to only me, it's too much... but also very exciting.
If Aine knew... how I wrote such lyrics, she might get angry, right?
...And if Xiaoxiang, who is [pretending to be dating] Xin, knew about this, he would definitely be very envious of me.
After taking a quick glance at Chihaya Aine who was arguing with Nagasaki Motoyo, Xiao Deng quietly moved a little towards her classmate Shin...
At this distance, if I just move a little closer, I will be leaning on Xin-san’s body…
"[It's okay to be confused...]"
"【I want to run side by side with you...】"
"【Let's get together (Ichio).】"
Nakagawa Nobuyuki's voice fell softly.
And classmate Xiaodeng also continued Nakagawa Nobuyuki's words in a soft voice.
"...Sure, let's go together."

Chapter 237: Problems with the composition of Bitian Banzou…?
“…It’s really good.”
Nakagawa Nobuyuki let out a deep breath, closed the book in front of him with a smile, closed the notebook solemnly, and returned the book to Takamatsu Deng, whose face was blushing.
"This time, the style is completely different from [Lost Star Call]."
After thinking about the lyrics of "Lost Star's Call" in his mind, Nakagawa Shin spoke with some emotion.
This is indeed the case. If [Lost Stars] is talking about how "I" am throughout the whole article, then [Bitian Banzou] is talking about how "you" are.
If it were put on Live, this change of angle would probably have a very good effect, right?
Although they seem to have no connection, the vague sense of connection in the lyrics is really interesting.
"...Yeah! Thanks to Nobu-san!"
Although he nodded vigorously, Gao Songdeng still didn't dare to meet Nakagawa Nobu's eyes. He shrank his neck like a shy little penguin, afraid that Nakagawa Nobu would notice something.
"Really...don't be so modest at a time like this. It was Deng who wrote the lyrics, right?"
After gently patting Xiaodeng's shoulder, Nakagawa Nobuyuki slowly stood up and walked towards Shiina Ritsuke, who had been watching them from a distance with his eyes slightly squinted, like an owl.
Nakagawa Nobuyuki was not worried that Shiina Riki would suddenly speak harshly to put pressure on him. First of all, Nakagawa Nobuyuki was already used to Shiina Riki, who had a sharp tongue but a soft heart...
Secondly, Xiaodeng is still over there, looking at this side with a worried look. No matter what, Shiina will definitely not say anything unpleasant at this time.
Right? Shiina?
Thinking of this, Nakagawa Nobuyuki blinked at Shiina Riki's crimson eyes.
(……nausea.)
Looking at Nakagawa Nobuyuki, who seemed to understand him about 70% at once and was conveying this message to him with his eyes, Shiina Rikki immediately showed a look of disgust and gave Nakagawa Nobuyuki a cold look.
However, although he showed some disgust, Shiina Riki still moved slightly to the side, making room for the other half of the space in front of the computer.
"…Your smile is really disgusting. Stop laughing."
After glaring at the smiling Nakagawa Shin, Shiina Riki, who looked unhappy, took off the white earphones from his ears and handed them to Nakagawa Shin without saying anything:
"Listen to the first edition first."
Nakagawa Nobuyuki naturally had no motivation to refuse, and he was used to Shiina Riki's prickly tone.
As soon as he sat down, Nakagawa Nobuyuki was very keenly aware that something was particularly different about Shiina Riki today.
"…Change your shampoo?"
Although he didn't pay special attention to it, because he has been interacting closely with girls every day recently, Nakagawa Nobuyuki couldn't help but notice their different faint scents.
It's not that Nakagawa Nobuyuki is a pervert or something, it's mainly because the smell itself will get into the nose and it's impossible not to notice it.
"……abnormal."
As a result, Shiina Riki gave him a fierce look as if he was looking at burnable garbage...
However, it seems that composing music is more important. Even when sitting with Combustible Garbage-san, Shiina Riki still didn't say much, but simply pressed the play button.
The song wasn't very long and finished playing quickly.
Because the synthesizer instrument used is the one that comes with the arrangement software, the sound of the instrument is naturally not as full as the sound of instruments heard in a real practice room.
However, if these were just software problems, Shiina Riki shouldn't be frowning like this.
Just when Nakagawa Nobuyuki was about to say something, Shiina Rikki immediately stretched out his hand, interrupted Nakagawa Nobuyuki in front of him, and handed him the other earphone.
“…Listen to it again.”
Shaking his head slightly, Shiina Riki was obviously not satisfied with the song.
So, I listened to it once, twice, three times...
And every time Nakagawa Nobuyuki pressed the space bar to replay the video, Shiina Riki's brows furrowed even deeper, forming a circle like rose petals.
As expected...as expected it doesn't work.
I feel... no matter how I modify it, it won't be as good as [Lost Star's Call].
Is it because after [Lost Star's Call] was modified by that stray cat, it was modified again by this guy Zhonghe...
Am I really no match for them...
As she thought about it, Shiina Riki silently clenched her teeth, and her fingers unconsciously exerted a little more force, with her fingertips slightly emitting a faint white color.
"Shiina, I may not be able to say..."
Nakagawa Nobuo's expression was very strange, and it was hard to tell whether it was good or bad: "... Compared to [Lost Star Call], I think it still lacks a bit of... explosive feeling?"
"...Don't give me face. If you have any questions, just tell me directly."
Biting his thin lips, despite saying such open-minded words, Shiina Riki couldn't help revealing a depressed expression. He gently fiddled with his fingers, and it was obvious that he was not as relaxed as he said.
Come to think of it, this song is only the second song composed by Shiina Tatsuki. I thought "The Call of the Lost Star" was the beginning, but now it seems to be the climax or something...
This kind of thing, although common, is not so acceptable.
"No, I haven't finished talking yet... Shiina, why are you in such a hurry?"
After knocking on the table lightly, Nakagawa Nobuhiro, who was somewhat amused, reiterated: "I said that it lacked a sense of explosion. I didn't say it was bad, right?"
However, in Nakagawa Shin's opinion, this lyric would be better in a plain narrative style.
After all, it sounds like words of encouragement to others, so it doesn't matter if the outburst is a little weak. In fact, if the outburst is strong, it may even lack that tender emotion.
"...They only say nice things. I want to hear where the problem is! Not -"
"Alright, alright, Shiina, I can't persuade you."
Before Shiina Riki could finish his words, Nakagawa Nobuyuki immediately waved his hand, obviously not intending to continue to tangle with Shiina Riki. Instead, in front of Shiina Riki's somewhat downcast eyes, he directly pulled Takamatsu Deng, Shiina Riki's treasure, from the side:
"Shiina, let Deng listen once. You don't listen to me, but you should listen to the lyrics, right?"
Shrugging his shoulders, Nakagawa Nobuyuki immediately put the earphones into the ears of the still dazed Xiaodeng.
"You——! It's just a semi-finished product, how can you give it to the lamp..."
However, although Shiina Riki was anxious, he looked at Xiaodeng-san nervously, and it was obvious that he cared very much about Xiaodeng-san's opinion.
Probably... Shiina Riki himself also hopes that his composition can be well received by Xiao Deng and that he can do a review.

Chapter 238: Zhonghe... How did you change the song?
Compared to Nakagawa Shin's rather calm reaction, Xiao Deng had a somewhat different reaction when listening to the song.
The most obvious thing is that when Xiaodeng is listening to the music, he will hum the lyrics he wrote quietly.
This could be said to be a kind of tacit understanding. After all, Shiina Tatsuki only marked where the singing should start and where the interlude was. Apart from that, it was all up to Takamatsu Tomori to sing according to his own feelings.
I probably felt that it was about time to sing this fast, so I started to sing.
As for the others, they quietly gathered around Gao Songdeng at this moment, and pricked up their ears to listen to the effect of Xiaodeng's humming.
Fortunately, when Xiaodeng sings, I always concentrate. Otherwise, if I really noticed that everyone was crowding around me, I might even be a little nervous.
Because Gao Songdeng was wearing headphones, everyone else could only hear Xiaodeng's a cappella singing.
As the progress bar reached the area marked as the coda, Xiaodeng gently pursed her pink lips, exhaled a long breath, and took off the headphones hanging on her ears.
"...Light, how is it?"
Shiina Riki was obviously very concerned about Xiao Deng's answer, and immediately moved towards Takamatsu Deng anxiously.
After all, as the lyricist, maybe Xiaodeng can give some different suggestions?
"...I still feel a little bit...but I don't know..."
Looking at everyone who surrounded him, Xiaodeng subconsciously turned his eyes away and spoke in a low voice.
I always feel... I always feel that something is a little strange... but I can't tell what's strange.
If Nakagawa Nobuyuki were asked to describe this feeling, he could only say that it felt like half a pepper shell standing on his throat.
"… Nakagawa, what do you think?"
His heart sank a little, and Shiina Riki turned to look at Nakagawa Nobuyuki who was thinking about something in front of him, wanting to hear what Nakagawa Nobuyuki had to say.
After all, the suggestions this guy put forward last time were quite useful. The effect was indeed much better after the changes. I hope it will be similar this time.
"I have an idea..."
There was some hesitation on Nakagawa Nobuyuki's face. He paused for a moment and then turned to look at the other people on the side.
"...Let's go to the practice room. The practice room will be the closest to the live performance."
……
After arriving at the practice room, Nakagawa Nobuyuki skillfully connected the speakers to the computer under everyone's curious gaze.
"Mr. Deng, I'll need you to sing [Bi Tian Ban Zou] later. Is that okay?"
Picking up the microphone lying on the side, Nakagawa Nobuyuki looked seriously at Takamatsu Deng, who was still a little unresponsive, and handed the microphone to him.
"Then let's..."
Nagasaki Suyo on the side blinked slightly and spoke with some curiosity.
Since we have to come to the practice room, why only let Xiao Deng sing...?
"Shigasaki-san, you asked the right question."
Nakagawa Nobuyuki's eyes lit up, and he immediately showed an expression of approval to Nagasaki Suyo for asking such a good question.
"In fact, Deng-san probably could have heard it just now. There's nothing wrong with the melody composed by Shiina... As for why the song sounds a little lacking, I do have some ideas..."
