When beauty is no longer a fantasy, the girl has touched upon her own life.

If she wasn't a "Guitar Hero", she might not have met her first friend in life——Rin

The pink-haired girl couldn't help but recall the experience of creating the "Guitar Hero" video account.

At first, she uploaded videos of herself playing the guitar online in order to escape from her frail interpersonal relationships and try to find a little comfort and sense of existence on the Internet.

But it is undeniable that "Guitar Hero" has become an important part of her life and cannot be separated.

Ichiri Goto is glad that she can embark on this path because she enjoys reading comments from others praising her guitar skills, which gives her a strong sense of need that she never had at school.

Besides, she did dream of becoming a hero...

A hero who brings hope to others with his guitar!

"But can I really?"

Everyone can say nice words.

Socially anxious people are never short of brave ideas, but few can actually act on them, because the first people to question them are themselves...

If I don’t have confidence, how can I accomplish anything?

Goto Ichiri once imagined what it would be like to debut as a guitarist, being admired by thousands of people, standing on the biggest stage, and playing the most rock-and-roll guitar.

Although online groups cannot hold live performances like real-life bands, they are more suitable for Goto Ichiri at the moment.

No need to show up, sing, or make any sound, just write your own lyrics and strum your guitar to your heart's content...

But even if the difficulty is reduced a lot, this step that must be taken is by no means easy for a socially anxious person.

"Dudududu..."

The extinguished mobile phone screen lit up again, and the pink-haired girl picked up the phone on the ground with fear, feeling worried but also a little expectant.

Rin...are you regretting this...?

It was no longer a message from Line, but a waiting phone call suddenly appeared in her eyes.

"Eh?! Rin...are you calling me?"

Although she didn't know what was happening, Goto Ichiri's body reacted faster than her brain, and she pressed the answer button without having time to think.

The next second, a familiar voice appeared in the room.

"Hello? Ichiri, are you okay?"

"Ah, I'm..."

The little remaining rationality forced Goto Ichiri to speak out despite his worry.

Goto Ichiri walked tremblingly to the corner and squatted down, as if this would give her more sense of security.

"Huh...that's good."

The girl opposite let out a long sigh, as if she had let go of some worries in her heart.

Then, Rin spoke again:

"After all, an online debut is something that needs to be taken seriously. Sending a text message directly might be too hasty, so after thinking about it, I think it would be better to just call Yili directly."

"I didn't make some of my remarks clear before. Maybe I was too impatient. I'm very sorry if I caused any worry to Yili just now."

The soothing words reached her ears, and the concern of her friends made the girl's nervous heart gradually relax.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly brightened up.

Just a little simple emotional feedback is enough to make Goto Ichiri's mood bright.

She is easily satisfied, but sometimes she craves for more. The seeds of contradiction take root in the girl's heart.

"It's okay, front..."

When Goto Ichiri thought of what Rin had said to her before, she was speechless for a moment. Recalling the past, the other party's repeated calling of "Ichiri" made her dizzy.

she thinks:

Can I change? Can I also say "Rin" to someone in person?

Want to try it?

"...Rin, I, I'm fine."

Success...

This is the second step in my normal social life as a female junior high school student!

"Um, is there anything else you want to ask Ichiri?"

"Ah, I, I'm fine, right..."

The girl's voice trembled slightly. She didn't know how to respond to the other person, nor did she know how to respond to herself.

"What do you think of my plan, Ichiri? Do you want to debut with me?"

"I......"

Goto Ichiri looked at his guitar in confusion, his heart pounding.

The combination of desire and hesitation caused Goto Ichiri to lose his direction.

Debuting with my friends...it feels so wonderful...

"I see. Why don't you ask your parents for their opinion? After all, we're still students, so it wouldn't be a bad idea to ask an adult for their opinion."

Considering Goto Ichiri's social phobia.

Shimizu Rin showed unprecedented patience, which even surprised Rin herself.

With the understanding and support of his parents, I believe Goto Ichiri's path will be smoother, right?

Who made her choose a guitarist with special circumstances?

But soon Rin couldn't laugh anymore.

"Ah, I see...So, where are Rin's parents?"

"..."

There was a rare silence on the phone for a few seconds, and Lin replied with a hint of helplessness:

"Don't worry about it, this kind of thing doesn't matter."

"what?"

Yili Kanche pinched his trouser legs nervously, hunched over his knees, and a hint of anxiety appeared in his eyes.

Did I...say something wrong?

Fortunately, it didn't take long for Shimizu Rin's tone to return to normal, and she continued to comfort the self-blaming Goto Ichiri.

"Don't worry, Yili, there will definitely be no problem on my side. Now it depends on your decision."

"Okay, Rin..."

Yili breathed a sigh of relief and leaned limply against the wall.

Yan Huai's aloof hair hung limply on the hairpin, swaying precariously.

Communicating with people is really tiring...

"Ichiri doesn't need to give me an answer right now."

Rin knew Goto Ichiri's timidity, so she didn't expect him to give an answer in a short time.

As long as you don't act like a wooden man...

She couldn't possibly expect a socially anxious person to change himself in just a few minutes. That was simply asking too much.

If she really wants to help Little Lonely, she must proceed step by step.

"Think carefully before answering me. I still have a lot to prepare."

......

......

“Beep, beep…”

Qing Shui Lin made up an excuse and hung up the phone. She lay on the soft bed in the bedroom, exuding a lazy atmosphere.

After exiting the call interface, Lin idly raised his phone, placed it flat in front of him, supported it with his arm, and began to check the messages comfortably.

"The invitation to Yili is considered preliminary, but I still don't know if Yili will accept the invitation..."

"Two days of friendship... The time I've known Little Lonely is too short, so it's normal if I get rejected, but it would be best if I could agree."

"..."

Qing Shui Lin's mind was clear for a few minutes, but his body was becoming more and more tired, and his eyelids were becoming heavier.

Having just finished a phone call with Goto Ichiri, her mind was still active and she wasn't sleepy at all.

"I am bored......"

"We have to find Mu and bring Santa back tomorrow. We can't miss our daily guitar practice."

"I have to go to Starry after school. Ryo should be here tomorrow..."

29. The Disappearing World

The next day, Shimizu Rin got up early as usual, prepared her lunch box, and went out to Tsuki no Mori to go to school.

Fortunately, yesterday's heavy rain did not make the fragile Rin sick.

Not only did Rin show no signs of a cold or fever, but he actually seemed more energetic than in the past few days.

Perhaps because he went to bed early yesterday and did not stay up late to play guitar as usual, Lin's mind was very clear today and he did not feel any discomfort all over his body.

I feel refreshed!

Arriving at Tsuki no Mori, Shimizu Rin casually attended the literature class for the whole morning as usual. She knew everything the teacher was talking about, so she just listened to the class symbolically to give face.

Tsukinomori is a famous school for young ladies in Japan. The school's management system is naturally a little stricter than that of ordinary schools. If you act out of turn, you will most likely be caught by Tsukinomori's teachers and given private lessons during breaks.

So Rin had to secretly change the plan and ideas for his next original song during class.

There has been some progress so far.

"Jingle Bell......"

The bell for the end of get out of class rang on time. The moment the bell echoed in the corridor, Rin, who had been waiting for a long time, rushed out of the classroom first.

The white-haired girl's anxious look to leave today immediately attracted many classmates, who began to discuss quietly.

"Why are you leaving so early today, Rin? Is there something urgent? Doesn't Rin usually scribble on some scratch paper before leaving?"

The red-haired girl at the back table looked at Rin's empty seat curiously, curiosity evident in her tone.

"I don't know. Why don't we just ask Xiaolin when the time comes?" Her blue-haired girl sitting at the same table shook her head.

"Hmm?" The red-haired girl smiled mysteriously, moved closer to her deskmate, and whispered softly, "You want to chat with Xiaolin, right? After all, Xiaolin is very cute~"

"Where?!"

The blue-haired girl immediately retorted, turning her head away, not daring to look at her smiling deskmate.

By the way, Shimizu Rin is very popular in the class.

He has excellent grades, looks cute, is quite talented, seems to be very polite, plays the guitar very well, and has basically no shortcomings except that he is stubborn and a bit prickly.

Rin is not only a beautiful girl recognized by everyone, but also the recognized face of their class.

At the same time, Rin was also forced to serve as the class's sports committee member. It was said that this was a democratic decision made by classmates through a unified vote in order to reduce Rin's personal exercise during physical education classes and prevent Rin from collapsing due to hypoglycemia.

All in all, at least there is no possibility that Shimizu Rin will be selected as one of the Campus 80 in her own class, but it is another matter outside the class.

Arriving at the corridor, Lin went straight to Mu's class, eager to see his Santa. His visible excitement made the classmates who had just walked out of the door feel a little confused, and they hesitated whether to remind Lin not to run around in the corridor.

But before the classmate could speak, Lin quickly walked to Wakaba Mu's side. Seeing this, she silently shut her mouth.

"Rin, hello..."

"Well, I'll take it. See you later."

Lin caught sight of the black guitar case placed next to Mu's seat, nodded with satisfaction, and responded briefly. She picked up the guitar case and prepared to go out.
