Can I draw Eromanga forever?

"........."

Li Xi's eyes froze for a moment, and after he came to his senses, he immediately put away his expression, hugged himself defensively, and took a half step back.

blah blah-

This retreat... led to the corner of the recording studio.

Snapped--

Lin You put his hand on the side of her head. He could clearly see that Li Xi's eyes trembled the moment his hand pressed down. She closed her eyes in fear, and then opened them unwillingly.

Really stubborn?

Lin You smiled and reached out to lift her pointed chin with a finger.

“Haileong and Mao Mao have already left? Aine might be home soon…”

"If you forcefully kiss me again...I will really call the police!"

"That's it?"

"……what?"

The other person didn't care, his expression seemed to say: Being able to forcefully kiss Li Xi is a huge win for three years! ... The girl shuddered directly. The timid look that was previously on Aine was now on Li Xi so quickly.

It really is a different time.

Lin You found it a little funny.

He opened his palm and tried to touch Li Xi's cheek, feeling the small and delicate face trembling slightly under his touch. Looking down, it was not only the beauty wrapped in the solid black round-necked shirt that was trembling, but Li Xi's legs even felt a little weak...

I haven't even kissed you yet?

This girl who looks so cold on the outside is actually timid and cowardly on the inside?

"Li Xi...if you really don't want to, forget it." Lin You's mouth stopped when it was halfway down, and suddenly changed his words.

"...?"

Li Xi, who had closed his eyes waiting for the kiss but still didn't feel the warm touch on his lips, opened his eyes in confusion.

"why?"

At this distance, in this wall-dong position, Lin You felt that Li Xi's behavior just now was really like a tsundere girlfriend asking for a kiss. Although she said she hated him, her body still cooperated and responded...

So, what is the truth?

Lin You thought for a moment and said, "Are you asking why... Li Xi, I don't like forcing girls."

"what?"

Lixi: What about me?

This time, his expression was even more obvious, clearly saying—you clearly forcefully kissed me in the fitting room last time! And in front of Hailing! A hard, forceful kiss!

"Last time... was an exception." Lin You said apologetically, "It was all because of Yuki... my sister's interference that led to a series of things. Also, your lips are really delicious."

"Bad!" the girl cursed immediately.

"...Since you don't like it, I won't do this again in the future." Lin You continued.

Although Li Xi is very cute and tsundere, and it's fun to tease her...but if Li Xi keeps acting so reluctantly as if she's about to be raped, Lin You definitely won't be able to do it.

He let go of my hand and said:

“But…regarding Aine’s live performance, I still need to ask you for help once more.”

"..."

Li Xi didn't reply immediately.

After being freed from restraint, her eyes were cold and she seemed to be dazed as she looked at Lin You who was leaving her. Just now, they were only a few centimeters away from kissing, but now...

The other person was standing much farther away from me.

He seemed very restrained and gentlemanly. Maybe, that time was just an accident... and he couldn't help it because his lips were so soft... No!

Li Xi frowned, his expression full of displeasure.

If he was so polite and respectful, then what was all the mental activity I'd been doing, the sleepless nights I'd been tossing and turning for half a week? ...What a lousy guy! He must have done it on purpose!

My heartbeat was so loud that I couldn't even think straight. Could it be that I was just being arrogant, as Hai Ling said... Bah, that's not right!

Li Xi was torn between her conscience and her desires. She struggled for a long time and kept her head down.

The air in the recording studio became quiet and the atmosphere was stagnant for a long time.

Lin You tried to say, "Lixi? ...If there's nothing else, I'll leave first?"

The matter of conquering the teardrop mole, drooping eyes, and long black hair could be discussed later. Lin You was not in a hurry, and also did not want to offend the beauty's thoughts...

He didn't have any tactics of playing hard to get.

I just feel that a tsundere and strong girl like Lixi needs to be conquered slowly and made to fall for her slowly, which would be more appealing.

and so……

"Lixi, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first... See you at the next rehearsal."

Lin You waved his hand and prepared to leave. He was planning to go to Kawasaki next.

"--etc!"

At this time.

Li Xi, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke, raised his head abruptly, and grabbed Lin You's wrist directly.

"Lixi?"

Lin You turned around and saw the girl's trembling eyes, and a blush actually spread to Li Xi's cheeks.

She held her breath, stared, then bit her lip and said:

"...Date with me."

Lin You: “Huh?”

A boomerang so soon?

Before the rehearsal, someone swore: There is no way I can be your girlfriend.

Then--

Less than two hours later.

Li Xi blushed: "Please, please date me!?"

"...What did you say?" Lin You couldn't help but ask again.

"Dating me! If you date me... you're not allowed to attack the lamp!"

As Li Xi explained this, his eyes trembled slightly and his breathing became short.

She blinked frequently, her thick, beautiful eyelashes fluttering like the wings of a psylocke in her nervousness. Because of her height, her face was tilted upwards, and she couldn't help but look away.

The tender lips that Lin You almost kissed again were now radiating a crystal clear and moist luster.

Is this really the only reason... Lin You couldn't help but wonder. Who cares...

Lin You: "Let me kiss you twice first."

Li Xi: “Huh?”

Volume 135: Chapter Are you worthy of singing "Empty Box"! ?

A recording studio under the Hakurei Shrine, located between Kawasaki Station and Shinagawa Station in Tokyo.

Shiina Riki (wearing the title: girlfriend), with a proud and blushing look, was held by Lin You's hand. She came here seemingly unwillingly, and then - heard the singing of Ii Serina.

"His heart was filled with dejection, and his eyes were trembling..."

“I’m all alone in this world…”

"..."

Li Xi: “!”

What's this?

There is no keyboard in "Spring Shadow", not even a bass, only drums and guitar playing in harmony, and then there is the clear and penetrating voice that carries it.

"...You're also worthy of singing 'Haruhi Shadow'!?"

——At the moment when Nina's voice filled his ears, Riki subconsciously wanted to question, but, but... uh, it seems that you are really qualified to sing "Haruhi Shadow"...

What an amazing singing voice.

Different interpretations of the lights, each with its own merits, surprisingly don't feel out of place...

Listening at this distance.

Li Xi frowned slightly, understanding a deeper feeling than that live performance at the music festival. The girl in front of him, named "Isai Renna"... was a very powerful lead singer.

I heard "Kasuga Shadow" very hastily and suddenly, but Tatsuki Shiina, one of the members of "CRYCHIC", the original singer of this song, just frowned and continued listening.

"Haruhi no Kage" is not "CRYCHIC"...

In contrast.

The trio of "New Kawasaki (tentative name)" who were training in the recording studio seemed to have a slight delay in their performance due to Lin You's appearance.

Nina's voice burst forth first into the seemingly empty space, followed by Momoka's electric guitar.

There are two versions of "Spring Shadow." The keyboard version is more lyrical, evoking the imagery of a bright spring day, while the electric guitar emphasizes a more expressive voice. Furthermore, the keyboard represents more than just a more delicate piano; in fact, all sound effects, apart from those of the other musicians, are handled by the keyboard...

This makes "Haruhi no Kage" a gentle, soothing, yet melancholic ballad—extremely powerful. Obviously, this doesn't suit Nina's style; she's a vocalist who works very hard, but she seems to focus more on catharsis and power—a scream.

Taoxiang is similar to this, so in the gentle piano solo that originally belonged to Xiangzi, an electric guitar solo was inserted instead, directly expressing the original lingering emotions to the fullest!

Lead vocalists often adopt different singing styles to suit different instruments or styles of music. While Nina doesn't have a formal background, she draws on her girlish sensibility and "natural rock talent"... Whether consciously or unconsciously, she finds the most...correct singing style for different instruments, situations, and even bands.

Cut off the past and take a step forward.

Without the gentleness of spring, it seems like we are about to enter the atmosphere of summer...

Momoka's guitar and Subaru's drums are gradually progressing, serving the emotions and melodies that Nina is conveying - when Lin You appeared, she seemed to be working particularly hard?

Subaru struck the rim of the drum repeatedly and rapidly, using the rim-beating technique to create a slightly restrained, progressive background sound. Finally, he struck the drum head, causing Nina's voice to burst forth—

"Rinna's songs are the cry of her heart!" Lin You said with emotion.

"Are they also qualified to sing "Spring Shadow"?…………" Li Xi muttered.

Is this... the Lixi who whispered bad things? A hidden version.

Mingming is resentful of Xiangzi for quitting the team without permission. He is both concerned and inferior. If Xiangzi had not clearly stated the reason for quitting the team, he might have felt disgusted... But now, he seems to be defending Xiaoxiang.

"I feel... it's not as good as the keyboard version of "Haruhi Shadow." Li Xirui commented.

"That's true."

Lin You nodded. "Spring Shadow" couldn't be without the keyboard, just like the West couldn't be without Jerusalem. "Spring Shadow" was incomplete without the keyboard. Although that sense of loss was recast by the guitar's catharsis, used to confront the past... it didn't seem to capture the original spring atmosphere.

So beautiful, so gentle...

Just like the weak Xiaoxiang, just sitting there, there is an atmosphere of white moonlight.

So, what about Nina?

Nina: "I enjoyed singing..."

Subaru put away his drumsticks. His slender figure in his JK uniform seemed a bit conflicted on the drum set. Student and rock, and, besides, a slight sweat was dripping down Subaru's fair skin.

She laughed out loud, "Renrencai... you improvised too much just now, didn't you?"

The capricious change of pitch and singing style...but the effect is very good.

So—Nina put her hands on her hips for a moment.

Taoxiang untied the guitar, took a step forward, and twirled her long silver-gray hair over her shoulders with one finger, and said:

"...Why did you come here suddenly?"

"I came to see you guys," Lin You replied, "Kawasaki isn't far from where I live now...Kawasaki and Tokyo are only separated by the Tama River."
