In the music series, the male protagonist writes a self-help manual for the inner world

"I mean, when can you finish composing the music?"

"soon."

Shiina Riki immediately replied, "I'm editing it."

"How long are you going to maintain this hellish routine?"

Chen Xinghua replied.

"Ha, don't you have the same underworld routine as me?"

Shiina Riki replied immediately.

Chen Xinghua looked up at the multi-string bass hanging on the wall.

Why did he stay up so late... Because he had a lot of things to do.

The novel has reached its final volume, and I need to write it quickly and hand it over to the screenwriter before next month.

I also have to practice guitar and keyboard, and in the evening I have to take time out to rent a concert hall for a while to practice piano.

We also need to analyze the parts of Chihaya Aine's chat history related to Haneigaoka to find out what unusual things happened in Haneigaoka Academy.

He had his own things to do, so he stayed up until now.

So what was the reason why Shiina Riki has been able to hold on until now?

Because of the arrangement...

No, this is the direct cause, not the fundamental cause.

The fundamental reason is why Tatsuki Shiina is so obsessed with arranging music.

Even if it messes up my biological clock, even if it risks ruining my campus life due to lack of sleep, I have to compose the music.

Why is this?

Is it because you want to go down the commercial path that you put so much pressure on yourself?

It doesn't seem like it.

The only area where Deng's band surpasses professional bands is in terms of pressure. As for other aspects...

Chen Xinghua can only be described as a group of scattered people, and it doesn't look like he is preparing for a commercial debut at all.

Not to mention anything else, just mention the wild cat who suddenly asked to join the light band.

The wild cat would only come to the practice room when she was interested. If she was not interested, even if Shiina Riki shouted loudly in the group, she would not move her toes towards the practice room.

Would a serious commercial band tolerate band members coming and going from time to time?

"Today is a special case. What's wrong with staying up late on Friday? Tomorrow is the weekend."

Although Chen Xinghua had a lot of things on his mind, he still did not stop sending messages to Shiina Riki.

"Don't stay up late. You still have to practice with Deng tomorrow."

Shiina Riki replied very quickly.

“What if the condition is not good and it affects the lights?”

"how about you?"

Chen Xinghua replied, "How long will you have to stay up late?"

"Aren't you afraid that staying up late will affect the condition of the lights?"

"Don't worry, I'll cover it up with makeup. The lights won't show it."

News about Shiina Riki emerged at an even faster pace.

Chen Xinghua looked at the chat records that kept popping up in the chat box, feeling a little confused.

He didn't understand why Shiina Riki put pressure on himself and others.

Only by figuring this out can Riki Shiina stop putting pressure on herself and others.

"So annoying."

Chen Xinghua uttered this word.

Even if we figure out the fundamental reason why Shiina Riki puts pressure on herself and others, it may not be possible to stop her from putting pressure on herself and others.

A streak of blue hair passed through Chen Xinghua's spiritual world.

Why does Xiangzi put pressure on himself?

Chen Xinghua felt that he understood a little bit. Perhaps it was because the sudden decline in his family's financial situation had stimulated Xiangzi's self-esteem.

It was precisely because of her family's decline that Xiangzi refused help from outsiders because of her self-esteem.

"Anyway, no matter what, we need to find the source of Shiina Riki's stress first. Otherwise, sooner or later, I'll have to call an ambulance for her."

“Just like Xiangzi.”

Chen Xinghua covered his head in pain, then sighed deeply.

"Hey, can't high school girls nowadays relax a little?"

"Forget it, let's take a look at the music sheet that Senior Liang just sent over."

At least the members of the band will not be like the members of Deng's band, making Chen Xinghua particularly worried about whether they will suddenly be admitted to the hospital one day.

Chen Xinghua sat down at the computer desk, turned on the laptop on the desk, and then opened the music score file sent by Senior Liang.

"Senior Liang, why are you putting so much pressure on the drummer?"

But if you think about it carefully, although Hong Xia looks like an ordinary petite high school girl who is just over 1.5 meters tall and has very slender arms.

But she was surprisingly strong beyond her petite size.

"Hongxia should be able to fight it out."

69

Chapter 69 is getting farther and farther away.

Shiina Riki threw his phone aside, got up from the bed, and sat down in front of the computer desk.

She couldn't stop to rest because she hadn't finished composing the music yet.

Shiina Riki put on his headphones and bit into half a bag of caffeine-rich energy jelly on the table, replenishing some necessary energy for his body and brain.

A better musical score than Toyokawa Shoko's must be composed.

"what happened?"

Shiina Tateki turned his head and seemed to see Toyokawa Shoko before "CRYCHIC" disbanded.

Toyokawa Shoko walked to her side and turned her head to look at the source of troubles placed in front of Shiina Riki.

The drum rhythm in "Haruhi no Kasuga" is too difficult... Shiina Tatsuki did not tell Toyokawa Shoko about his troubles at that time, nor did he tell Toyokawa Shoko about his troubles now.

The arrangement is too difficult.

Even the Shoko Toyokawa who appeared in front of Tatsuki Shiina now was just a false illusion.

"This..."

But Toyokawa Shoko still noticed Shiina Riki's troubles, and she made a few changes to the music score placed in front of Shiina Riki.

"How about this change?"

"Ah."

Shiina Riki squinted her eyes because the sunlight shone through the curtains and pierced into her eyes, which were extremely weak from staying up late.

"If you have any questions, you can come to me and I will write lyrics worthy of the lamp."

Toyokawa Shoko's confident face, confident words, and confident look were like sharp swords, piercing Shiina Riki's chest.

Could I solve the band members' problems just by scribbling a few strokes on the music score like Toyokawa Shoko did?

Can I be as confident as Toyokawa is now that I can write a song that is worthy of the lyrics of the light? Can I be confident that I can lead a band well?

Can I be like Toyokawa Shoko, like my sister?

"Bah."

Shiina Riki gritted his teeth and made up for his lack of talent with hard work.

I can't solve the band members' problems with just a few strokes like Toyokawa Shoko did.

But I can achieve the same effect in a few days or weeks.

Even without my sister and Shoko Toyokawa, I can still do it.

Finally, the illusion of Toyokawa Shoko in Shiina Riki's mind began to fade.

……Really?

……

The next morning... no, it was this morning. Shiina Riki put on her makeup early to cover up the fatigue on her face, took the train to RING, and booked a practice room at the student price and employee price.

Shiina Riki sat in the middle of the drum set, squinted his eyes, held the drumsticks and played the drums. Sleepiness climbed up Shiina Riki's eyebrows along the drumsticks.

But as Shiina Riki pulled her thigh hard, the sleepiness that had just taken over her escaped from her at a speed almost as if it was escaping for its life.

The second person to push open the door of the practice room was Chihaya Aine... Shiina Riki was a little surprised. Doesn’t Chihaya Aine usually step on the right spot?

Just like a corporate slave who punches the clock in at work, he has to go to get off work on time and leave on time. He cannot be late if he arrives a minute early or leaves a minute late.

Why did you arrive so early today?

The third person to push open the door of the practice room was Deng... Shiina Riki's tense face suddenly relaxed, and then tensed again.

The lights came on early as usual.

"Aine, do you want to join my astronomy club?"

Deng made an invitation to Chihaya Aine.

"That club's activities are very relaxing...even though I'm the only member."

"But as long as we submit activity reports on time, the club will not be ruined."

Deng realized that the scope of his connection with Chihaya Aine was very small, apart from the connection formed because they were in the same classroom and the connection formed in the band.

There is no longer any extra contact between him and Chihaya Aine.

"That Deng classmate, I'm actually not planning on joining any club."

Chihaya Aine politely refused the lamp.

...Including your astronomy club, classmate Deng.

"I also want to run for student council president of Hanegaoka."

"Because I was the student council president in junior high school, I also want to be the student council president in Haneda."

The antonym of like is not hate...it's indifference.

Hate means having deep feelings for that person.

Chihaya Aine's feelings towards Deng are changing from a slight dislike to a slight indifference.

"Because Takamatsu Touma-san can live well even without me," Chihaya Aine replied.

Even without Gao Songdeng, I can still live a lot better.

So is there any need for me and Takamatsu Deng to stay together?

"So I'm sorry, I can't join your astronomy club."

"That's it."

Deng walked aside silently.

The fourth person to open the door of the practice room was Nagasaki Suyo.

I feel like she is even more like a corporate slave than Chihaya Aine... Shiina Riki thought to himself.

She is only willing to complete the tasks assigned to her and is unwilling to do anything extra.

Her bass playing is nowhere near what it used to be... Is she practicing seriously?
