You are the first one to get into Triangle, then who am I?

Chapter 119: Moonlight Cocoon

“Isn’t this very great!”

"Ah, is that so exaggerated?"

"This song makes me see a boy riding on the moonlight, reaching out his hand to the girl trapped in the castle..." Hachiman Kailing made a particularly exaggerated expression, "Hakanai~"

Ruo Ye Mu was debugging the keyboard. Upon hearing this, his fingers slipped and a series of discordant sounds were produced.

She lowered her head, her light green hair falling down, covering her red cheeks.

It is no coincidence that Wakaba Mu indeed wrote this song thinking about what happened that day, and Hachiman Kailing happened to be half a party involved (pointing to the guitar).

"Practice, aren't we going to start yet?"

The cat card practice urged Ji to speak.

"Then let's try playing the whole thing first."

"That's true." Sanjiao Hatsuxia nodded, then looked at Wakaba Mu who was standing in front of the keyboard, "Little Cucumber, is there anything wrong with you?"

"Ah."

The three of them quickly plugged in their instruments and prepared to play.

"3, 2, 1..." Sanjiao Chuxia counted down softly.

The sound of music quickly filled the practice room. Wakaba Mu's keyboard sounds flowed like clear moonlight, Kaname Lenai's guitar was like dancing fireflies, Hailing's bass was the calm night, and Sanjiao Hatsuka's vocals were like the wind blowing through them all.

"between the locked windows"

The leaked shadow is whispering (zero shadow が嗫く)

......"

When singing the chorus, Sankaku Hatsuka unconsciously looked at Wakaba Mutsu who was sitting in front of the keyboard.

To his surprise, the other person was also looking at him. Their eyes met briefly in mid-air, and Ruo Yemu immediately lowered his head, but the melody flowing from his fingertips became even gentler.

It is obviously a sad and depressing tune, but at this moment it sounds like a saved girl telling her past with a smile.

After finishing the first half, the three of them stopped playing at the same time, leaving only Wakaba Mutsuki playing the melody of "Moonlight" on the keyboard.

The keyboard solo ended, and Kaname's guitar suddenly erupted with sharp distortion, like lightning tearing through the night sky. Hachiman Kairin raised an eyebrow in surprise, but the bass steadily supported the entire melody.

The sound of Wakaba Mu's keyboard gradually turned into a bright tone, just like the moonlight and the figure of Sanjiao Hatsuka that she saw when she looked up that night.

"The gentle silk thread that is woven

Tear apart the darkness and tie me tight (黑をriftいて合いでく)”

Sanjiao Chuxia's emotions were also completely ignited. His voice suddenly rose, with an unprecedented sense of power:

"You are not alone

It told me this way

Go to the other side of the night (夜の向こうへ)"

Kaname Rakuna's guitar adds a gorgeous solo at the right moment, the strings dancing with dazzling sparks from her fingertips. Yawata Kairin's bass suddenly becomes aggressive, her fingers sliding quickly across the strings, producing tense glissandos.

Wakaba Mutsu's playing also became bolder, her hands dancing across the keyboard, her light green hair gently swaying with her movements.

The originally sad melody of "Moonlight" gradually turns into a hopeful variation, like the wings of a butterfly emerging from a cocoon and stretching out in the moonlight.

Sanjiao Hatsuka was completely immersed in the music, sweat trickling down his cheeks. He held the microphone stand with one hand and extended his other hand towards Wakaba Mutsuki:

"The Broken Ancient Chain"

Transform into a new me (新しいprivateになる)

......"

Wakaba Mu's fingertips played the last clear chord in the highest pitch, Kaname's guitar produced a long lingering sound, and Hailing's bass ended steadily with a low chord.

Sanjiao Chuxia's voice gradually faded, as gentle as the night wind:

"そっと下り之ぐ (gently pouring down)

久かな银の音 (silent silver sound)”

The moment the music stopped, the practice room fell into a brief silence. The four of them were breathing slightly, their faces flushed with excitement.

Kaname's guitar was still making a slight feedback noise, like a lingering sound that didn't want to end.

"Xiao Lenai, you are not playing according to the score again!" Hachiman Kailing was the first to break the silence.

"Because it's more fun this way."

Wakaba Mu gently stroked the edge of the keyboard, his pale green eyelashes trembling slightly: "...The improvisation part is very nice."

“Indeed, although it deviates somewhat from the original score, the emotions expressed are even stronger.”

"Oh, forget it." Hachiman Kailing shook her head helplessly, but couldn't hide the smile on her face, "But we can't do this when we start the live show."

"Good~"

He casually agreed and asked Lenai to hang on Triangle Hatsuka's back like a koala.

"Xiao Xia, reward."

"Okay, okay..." Sanjiao Chuxia was shaken by her and couldn't stand steadily. "Let's go to Sister Saaya's bakery and see if there are any new products."

"So, what's the song going to be called?"

Hachiman Kailing's fingers tapped lightly on the neck of the bass, and her eyes swept over the other three people.

The lights in the practice room turned dim in the evening, giving everyone's outline a soft edge.

"How about 'Silver Thread'?" Sanjiao Chuxia suggested.

"It doesn't feel special enough..." Hachiman Kailing shook her head and turned to look at Wakaba Mutsuki who had been silent. "Wakaba-san, do you have any ideas?"

Wakaba Mu's fingers unconsciously stroked the edge of the lyrics sheet, and his light green eyelashes cast a small shadow.

"...'Moonlight Cocoon'."

"Cocoon?" Hachiman Kailing repeated thoughtfully.

"Hmm." Her voice was soft, yet remarkably clear. "A cocoon wrapped in silver threads."

"Moonlight Cocoon, breaking out of the cocoon... I like this name!"

"It's settled then. PersonAction's first original song will be called 'Moonlight Cocoon'."

Hachiman Kailing put the bass back into her bag and said, "That's all for today. I'll be in charge of finding a venue for the performance later."

"Understood, disperse!"

Sanjiao Chuxia put her guitar bag into the cart as well, holding Yao Lenai with one hand and the cart with the other.

Ruoye Mu quietly put away the keyboard sheet music, her fingertips gently caressing the small cucumber symbol. The sunlight filtered through the window, dancing through her light green hair.

Hachiman Hailing suddenly leaned close to her ear and lowered her voice: "Ruoye-san, the way you looked at Chuxia just now was too obvious."

Ruoye Mu's hand trembled violently, and the sheet music scattered all over the floor. She hurriedly squatted down to pick it up, her ears reddening profusely.

"Why don't you leave? What are you talking about in secret?" Sanjiao Chuxia's voice came from the door.

"Nothing~" Hai Ling smiled meaningfully and helped Ruoye Mu pick up the last sheet of music. "We were just discussing the piece for next practice."

Chapter 120 Chu Hua: I couldn’t help it

"I am back."

"Welcome back." Sanjiao Chuhua's voice came from the kitchen, accompanied by the sound of a spatula stirring.

After hearing the response, Sanjiao Chuxia put on slippers and walked to the kitchen door curiously.

Sanjiao Chuhua was wearing an apron, skillfully stirring the food in the wok. She had her hair tied in a ponytail, a rare sight today, and a few strands of it stuck to her forehead from her busy schedule.

"Why are you so early today? Didn't you say you were going to record a new song with Mana?"

"It was a last-minute adjustment. The producer said the results were better than expected, so we're calling it a day." She suddenly turned around and picked up a piece of freshly cooked meat with her chopsticks. "Want to try it?"

Sanjiao Chuxia leaned over and put the meat into her mouth, gasping for breath because of the heat.

"Delicious! Xiaochu's cooking skills have improved again. I'm almost left far behind."

"Well, I learned a little from Su Shi recently."

I can't let Sushi's cooking take away your food...

"By the way, how's your band's new song coming along? Didn't you stay up late writing it yesterday?"

"Ah, it's perfect." He smiled and pulled out the lyrics book from his bag. There were many revisions and annotations on it. "This is probably my best work. Everyone at [personaction] likes it too."

Sanjiao Chuhua turned down the heat and leaned over to take a look. Her ponytail swayed gently with her movements, carrying a faint scent of shampoo.

"A quiet silver voice..." she murmured, then paused. "This is about moonlight, right? When did Xia become so literary?"

Although she knew it was a deliberate compliment, Sanjiao Chuxia still couldn't help but smile.

"Yesterday I specifically looked up a lot of lyrics and essays written by others for reference before I started writing the lyrics."

"It seems your lyric writing skills are far behind mine."

Sanjiao Chuhua had actually seen the lyrics a long time ago. When she woke up in the morning, she found that the other person was not sleeping next to her, so she got up early and went out to take a look.

……

The morning sun shone through the half-open curtains, casting a warm spot of light on Sanjiao Chuhua's face. She frowned and subconsciously moved closer, but only felt the cold sheets.

Sanjiao Chuhua suddenly opened his eyes and found that the other side of the bed was empty.

She propped herself up and glanced at the alarm clock on the bedside table. It was 6:15, nearly an hour earlier than their usual wake-up time. Triangle Chuxia never got up at this time, unless...

Sanjiao Chuhua lifted the quilt and stepped barefoot on the wooden floor in her pajamas. The slightly cool touch made her completely awake.

She opened the door and walked into the living room. She saw Sanjiao Chuxia curled up on the sofa, covered only by a coat. His cheek was pressed against the pillow, his lips slightly parted, and his breathing was steady and long.

The small lamp on the coffee table was still on, casting fine shadows under his eyelashes.

Sanjiao Chuhua held her breath and slowly walked over. She picked up the lyrics book spread out on the coffee table and flipped through it silently.

"between the locked windows"

The leaked shadow is whispering (zero shadow が嗫く)

Falling into deep darkness like sinking

I'm almost forgetting my own name

......"

This feeling of oppression reminded Sanjiao Chuhua of when she was still on the island. Although her father and mother were very gentle to her, she always felt that she could not fit into this family.

When did it get better?

When Toyokawa Shoko came to this island, she secretly ran out to see him, and was saved by his gentleness and sunshine.

But this is like drinking poison to quench thirst. After the other person leaves, my loneliness becomes even worse, until...

"And... and, I want to do something for you."

A boy who looks very similar to her breaks into her life. Even though he has lost his own goals, he still arrogantly says that he wants to do something for her.

Sanjiao Chuhua looked at the sleeping Chuxia again, and the innocent and lively smile of his childhood in his dream that night emerged in his mind again.

She swallowed subconsciously, her eyes greedily scanning every inch of the other person's exposed skin - the fine hairs on the back of the neck, the shallow depression at the collarbone, and the chest that rose and fell slightly with his breathing.

"Xia..." Sanjiao Chuhua called softly, his voice so low that it was almost inaudible.

The other party didn't respond, just frowned and fell into a deeper sleep.

As if possessed by some mysterious force, she reached out and gently brushed her fingertips across Sanjiao Chuxia's cheek. Her skin was warm and soft, like the finest silk.

Her fingers slid along her jawline to her throat, feeling for the faint pulse there. One, two... gradually synchronizing with her heartbeat.

"Mine..." Sanjiao Chuhua murmured silently, his fingers continuing to move downwards, stopping at his collarbone.
