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

So how can we get her to come here regularly to practice every day?

"Kaname, what's your favorite food?"

Chen Xinghua asked.

"Matcha Buffy."

If you want to be happy, answer immediately.

Chen Xinghua looked into Yao Lenai's heterochromatic eyes.

"I heard that this band will provide everyone with unlimited matcha parfait before and after practice starting today."

Chihaya Aine and Deng heard Chen Xinghua's voice at the same time, but their reactions to the voice were very different.

Because they all grasped the key adjectives in Chen Xinghua's sentence.

Chen Xinghua used "this band" to describe Deng's band instead of "our band" to describe Deng's band.

So Chihaya Aine was very happy.

So the light is sad, very sad, and very gravity-defying.

Chapter 71: Shiina Riki, you have worked very hard.

"Would you like to eat Lenai?"

Chen Xinghua said something very tempting to Yao Lenai, "Unlimited Matcha Parfait."

Perhaps my inference was wrong, and Lenai wouldn't decide to come to practice on time every day just because she wanted to eat unlimited matcha parfait.

But it never hurts to try.

You may succeed in doing things, or you may fail.

But if you don’t do it, you will definitely fail.

"Or do you want to eat something else?"

Chen Xinghua said to Yao Lenai.

Shiina Riki opened his mouth. Did Chen Xinghua think that this would solve the problem of the stray cat coming to the practice room at will?

"Do you have matcha-flavored sencha candy?"

Kaname asked eagerly.

Chen Xinghua narrowed his eyes. Matcha parfait, matcha-flavored sencha candy...

It seems that Kaname Rakuna particularly likes matcha flavored food.

"In addition to matcha parfaits and matcha-flavored sencha candies, there are other matcha-flavored snacks."

Chen Xinghua said with a smile.

"So Lenai, do you want to eat?"

"Want to eat."

Kaname Lenai nodded.

There are interesting women here, and delicious matcha parfait.

And there are interesting men...

Yao Lenai looked at Chen Xinghua with interest.

He is trying to build a family and bring the members of the band closer together.

"This guy……"

Shiina Riki clenched his teeth again.

No, she was not resenting Chen Xinghua for stealing the limelight.

She just resented herself for being so incompetent and why she couldn't see through Kaname's thoughts earlier.

If Xiangzi were here, he might have seen through Wildcat's thoughts sooner, gotten him to practice according to the schedule sooner, and gotten the band back on track sooner...

In a trance, Shiina Riki felt that Toyokawa Shoko appeared in front of her again.

The bitter wine brewed from staying up late finally dripped between Shiina Riki's lips and teeth, causing her already cracked spirit to collapse even further.

"If you have any questions, just tell me."

"Because this is my responsibility as the captain of 'CRYCHIC'."

The imaginary Toyokawa Shoko said to Shiina Riki.

No... I can try my best to do what Xiangzi can do.

Shiina Riki twisted his thigh expressionlessly to break free from the illusion.

But Toyokawa Shoko has not left her mind yet...

Her back seemed to overlap with Chen Xinghua's.

No, that's not Toyokawa Shoko, that's Chen Xinghua.

Shiina Riki pursed his lips weakly, and finally separated Toyokawa Shoko's back from Chen Xinghua's back.

"That's great. Little Lenai is finally willing to come on time every day and practice with everyone."

Nagasaki Suyo still maintained that standard motherly smile, making it difficult to tell what she was thinking.

"Before practicing, listen to the song I've revised."

Shiina Riki took out his cell phone and clicked on the edited audio.

Chen Xinghua is not Toyokawa Shoko.

It’s hard to say when it comes to solving interpersonal problems.

But at least in terms of musical level, Chen Xinghua is not Toyokawa Shoko, he is just an ordinary keyboard player.

Therefore, it is impossible for him to have the same strong musical level as Toyokawa Shoko, the kind of musical level that can solve the problems that have always troubled Shiina Riki with just a casual stroke.

"Is it fixed?"

Chen Xinghua walked to Shiina Riki's side.

Almost at the moment Chen Xinghua started moving, Chihaya Aine stood up from her chair and followed Chen Xinghua's steps.

Deng, who had recovered from her sadness, did not slow down much. She walked into the gap between Chen Xinghua and Chihaya Aine almost in the next moment.

Kaname Lena was a little slow in her movements. She moved half a second after Chihaya Aine and Deng before she followed suit and squeezed in between Chen Xinghua and Deng.

"Lena, don't squeeze in between others."

Nagasaki Suyo sighed, "The space in there is very small. Your face is almost squeezed by Xinghua and Deng's arms."

"It's obviously still empty outside."

Shiina Tatsuki clicked on the song he had edited and composed using software.

……

"Deng, how about the song I composed?"

Shiina Riki asked the lamp.

“It’s intense.”

The light said.

Shiina Riki wondered what Deng meant by this.

It’s not about good or bad, it’s about intensity, right?

Intense? What does that mean?

Does that mean my arrangement is good, or bad?

"That's great, Lixi."

Nagasaki Suyo smiled and encouraged Shiina Riki.

In Nagasaki Suyo's opinion, Shiina Tachibana's arrangement skills are far inferior to Toyokawa Shoko's.

After all, Shoko Toyokawa is able to arrange music on the spot and then change the music according to the style of the team members.

So if we can just bring Xiangzi back, all the problems can be solved.

Li Xi no longer has to put himself under the same pressure of frantically changing the music as he does now, and he also doesn't have to worry about messing up the live performances that may be held in the future.

Because wasn’t the first performance of “CRYCHIC” absolutely perfect?

As long as we get together again, we will definitely be able to put on a performance that is even better than the first time.

And the atmosphere in the team will be much better.

The band atmosphere during the "CRYCHIC" period was much better than it is now.

"You're the hardest working one among us."

Nagasaki Suyo put her fingers together, but still needed Toyokawa Shoko.

Shiina Riki lowered his head.

Work hard? I don’t want to be praised for my hard work. What I want is the final result… the result.

Even if she worked very hard, stayed up late until she was in a trance, and her figure of Chen Xinghua and Toyokawa Shoko overlapped.

But if the final result of your efforts is not as good as Toyokawa Shoko... then what's the point of trying.

When people introduce me, they just say I am Shiina Maki's sister and the drummer in Toyokawa Shoko's band, instead of introducing me as Shiina Tatsuki.

……

"CRYCHIC" has disbanded.

It took Shiina Tatsuki's confused brain a while to calm down before she realized that when people introduced her in the future, they would no longer be able to introduce her as the drummer in Toyokawa Shoko's band. They could only introduce her as Shiina Maki's sister, Shiina Tatsuki.

Does that mean I'm still not as good as Shoko Toyokawa?

"It's great. It doesn't sound like a song that a first-time arranger would come up with at all."

Chen Xinghua thought that if Shiina Riki didn't change her hellish lifestyle, he would have to find a better sanatorium as soon as possible.

This will save Shiina Riki from having to be hospitalized due to staying up late and having trouble finding a good sanatorium.

“For example, the drum part is really good.”

After all, not many people would choose to compose a drum score that would cause the bass drum player to die in a fight with the drum when arranging music for the first time.

Chapter 72: After the practice is over, can you stay for a while?

"Shiina, after practice is over, can you stay for a while?"

Chen Xinghua pleaded with Shiina Riki, "I have something very important to tell you."

"Is there something you can't talk about now?"

Shiina Riki eagerly met Chen Xinghua's dark pupils and said, "We'll have to wait until the practice is over to discuss what it is."

"Anyway, this is a very important and private matter. Can I waste a moment of your time?"

Chen Xinghua looked into Shiina Riki's eyes calmly.

Chihaya Aine's arm loosened its grip on the guitar, and her emerald green guitar almost fell to the ground.

What is the important thing?

I really care...but it should be a public matter, not a personal one.

Because of Xinghua... A smile appeared on Chihaya Aine's lips.

He called "Shiina Riki" "Shiina" instead of "Riki" or a more intimate name.

He called himself "Aine", not "Chihaya Aine".
