"This song is practically about me!"
In the Astronomy Club, Chihaya Anon let out a joyful cry from the depths of her heart after reading the new lyrics written by Takamatsu Tomori.
Bai Qiu, at this moment, also took Tomori's notebook and curiously flipped through it.
He hadn't expected that after only two nights,
Tomori would have already written the lyrics.
Is this a lyric-writing genius?
"Alone in the dark,
You hang your head in despair,
Yet this sky is too brilliantly blue,
What should I say to you?
… … …
Always striving, no matter when,
Just standing here is like a battle,
Even if you run, even if you can't see the path forward,
I still want to run with you, lost together,
With you!"
Beside her, Chihaya Anon had already clasped her hands together in front of her face, her eyes turning into heart shapes as she excitedly yelled at Takamatsu Tomori.
"Tomorin, Tomorin, you wrote it so well!"
If Bai Qiu hadn't also been there, Anon might have even wanted to hug Tomori and shout, "Tomorin, love!" out of fear of causing unnecessary misunderstandings with Bai Qiu.
Chihaya Anon was already impatient to take this song back to her class and show it off to Shiina Rikki and the others.
To tell them,
"Hey, hey, look! This is a song Tomorin wrote for me!"
What kind of expressions would they make?
Chihaya Anon really wanted to savor it.
And Takamatsu Tomori, upon hearing that Anon really liked the song,
Her anxious heart and tense face finally relaxed.
"Yes, this is a song for Anon-chan."
"Thank you, Tomorin!"
Chihaya Anon quickly replied.
Then, Anon's mouth slightly opened, and she froze for a moment.
"Eh? For me?"
Anon pointed to herself, then to Bai Qiu.
"What about Qiu Qiu's?"
Qiu Qiu?
What kind of Hilichurl!
Bai Qiu instantly came back to his senses.
Bai Qiu glared at Anon.
You're repaying kindness with enmity!
"Wait, what's with that nickname?"
"I don't remember agreeing to you giving me a strange nickname, do I?"
Chihaya Anon showed a mischievous smile.
"Tomori also thinks it sounds good, right?"
Tomori blinked cutely and said, "It's very warm."
"See!" Chihaya Anon looked triumphantly at Bai Qiu, "Tomori is also very satisfied with this nickname!"
"I protest!"
"Protest denied!"
Chihaya Anon made a big 'X' with her two fair, tender forearms.
"Oh, have it your way."
Bai Qiu let out a seemingly helpless sigh, but the corners of his mouth subtly curved upwards.
Because he already knew that this pink-haired girl loved giving everyone nicknames with repeated syllables.
Even if you didn't agree, she would still call you that.
However, being able to be given a nickname by Anon.
Perhaps it was also her approval to some extent?
Seeing Bai Qiu's tacit consent,
Chihaya Anon revealed her small fangs, a triumphant expression on her face.
"Oh right, right, Tomori-Tomori hasn't answered my question from earlier."
Chihaya Anon returned to her previous confusion.
"Because Qiu told me to write the song for Anon-chan first this time, Anon-chan works very hard!"
Tomori recalled Bai Qiu's words, as well as her own thoughts, and told Anon.
Upon hearing this,
Chihaya Anon looked at Bai Qiu with a surprised expression.
Anon hadn't expected Bai Qiu to specifically tell Tomori these things.
She felt a little touched.
Honestly.
Is he encouraging me?
Even without this, I won't run away anymore!
I'll practice hard, and I won't be defeated by that pressure-monster Rikki.
Isn't this just doing something unnecessary!
Wait, is Qiu Qiu very worried about me?
At this moment, Chihaya Anon's excited blush turned into a shy red.
Chihaya Anon's inner world,
Bai Qiu and Tomori did not know.
The two were just wondering, wasn't the air conditioning on?
Bai Qiu then said,
"We have the lyrics, but what about your music?"
Bai Qiu's words made Anon and Tomori realize.
New lyrics also needed new music.
They couldn't just use the music from haruhi kage, could they?
It seemed like it wasn't impossible?
That way, Xiangzi would also feel involved, right?
Tomori also seemed to realize the problem: no one in the current band composed music.
"Before, it was Saki-chan."
Anon couldn't help but ask, "Is that Fengchuan Classmate who plays the piano so well in the music room?"
Bai Qiu looked at Anon curiously.
Anon knew too?
"Yes, Xiangzi is a composition genius; haruhi kage was also composed by her."
"Eh?"
Chihaya Anon was slightly stunned and keenly noticed that Bai Qiu directly called her by her first name.
"Does Qiu Qiu also know Fengchuan Classmate?"
Bai Qiu nodded.
Tomori nodded slightly, "Yes, yesterday, Qiu, Xiangzi and I ate together at the Astronomy Club."
"Oh, oh!"
Chihaya Anon subconsciously nodded, but soon realized something was off.
"Yesterday? Ate!"
Chihaya Anon's eyes widened.
"Was it at noon?"
Tomori nodded.
"Tomori, elaborate!"
… … And so, after Takamatsu Tomori elaborated on yesterday noon,
Chihaya Anon was somewhat gritting her teeth in anger.
Yesterday noon, she had eaten with Kita, and after dinner, she had diligently practiced guitar with Kita.
And you two were flirting in the Astronomy Club?!
Seeing that Anon's expression seemed a little strange,
Tomori thought.
Anon must have wanted to eat together too!
Next time, she definitely had to invite Anon.
Fortunately, Tomori hadn't forgotten about composing.
Tomori looked at Bai Qiu, "Does Qiu compose music?"
Bai Qiu shook his head, somewhat helplessly.
He did want to systematically learn composition.
But the composition skill had never refreshed, causing the plan to be put on hold.
Anon also said, "That makes things a bit difficult then…"
Bai Qiu comforted them,
"Discuss it during your practice this afternoon; maybe someone else can compose."
Chihaya Anon then asked, "Are you coming with us this afternoon?"
Bai Qiu shook his head.
"I still have End Band training."
Upon hearing this,
Chihaya Anon had the thought, 'It would be great if Qiu Qiu also joined the band.'
Takamatsu Tomori's thought, 'It would be great if Qiu was also in the band,' deepened.
"Ah~"
Chihaya Anon and Takamatsu Tomori both sighed softly at the same time.
Bai Qiu naturally felt the obvious disappointment of the two girls.
Bai Qiu chuckled helplessly.
"I'll go with you guys."
It seemed he would just have to ask for leave from End Band.
Anyway, with his current skill level, even without practicing ensemble, the cultural festival would be no problem!
… …
RiNG Live House
The familiar recording studio.
Except for the stray cat, everyone else was present.
Chihaya Anon successfully played a small part of haruhi kage.
"Heh heh, how was it?"
Chihaya Anon looked at everyone, pouting slightly as she asked.
Tomori: "Anon-chan! So amazing."
Hailing: "Hmm, it's alright."
Soyo also said in a flat tone, "As expected of Anon."
Damn it, how did this pink-haired girl improve so much?
Now Rikki was going to put pressure on herself.
"Heh heh heh!"
Rikki glanced at Anon and asked indifferently,
"What about next?"
"I'm practicing the next part too."
Rikki walked away with her arms crossed, making to go to the drum kit to practice.
The pink-haired girl's transformation and willingness to perform live was undoubtedly good news for Rikki.
Chihaya Anon pouted, then turned to Tomori, smiling:
"Tomori, take it out quickly!"
Chihaya Anon's words attracted everyone's attention.
Even Shiina Rikki turned back, thinking the pink-haired girl was going to cause trouble again.
Never mind, I won't bother with her today.
It definitely wasn't because Tomori was about to take something out.
"This is… new lyrics."
Takamatsu Tomori took out her notebook from her bag, opened it, and placed it in front of everyone.
Rikki's expression changed dramatically!
She practically teleported from the drum kit to the center of everyone.
Startling everyone.
Chihaya Anon was just about to show off that this was a song Tomori wrote for her.
But she was interrupted.
Rikki was the first to take the notebook from Tomori's hand, asking nervously,
"Tomori… Tomori's new song is finished?!"
Tomori nodded, "Just finished last night."
Rikki: "Mm! Tomori, you worked hard."
After speaking, Rikki eagerly flipped through Tomori's lyrics.
Hailing and Soyo gathered around to look.
A moment later,
"Tomori, you wrote it very well!"
Rikki looked up at Tomori, a little excited, her fingers trembling slightly.
This was practically her!
At this time, Bai Qiu looked at Rikki and Hailing and asked,
"Speaking of which, does anyone here compose music?"
Nagasaki Soyo felt joy in her heart.
Good question!
According to the information she had, no one present could compose music.
Then.
She could use this as an excuse to ask Xiangzi for help.
However…
"I'll compose it!"
Shiina Rikki replied instantly, her tone decisive, as if afraid the chance to compose would be snatched away.
"Eh…?"
Nagasaki Soyo froze, her thoughts interrupted.
This was unexpected.
Takamatsu Tomori looked at Rikki in surprise, but this was good news.
Hachiman Kairin thought, 'Can I play music composed by Rikki?'
Chihaya Anon felt strange; the song Tomori wrote for her was actually going to be composed by Rikki.
Only Nagasaki Soyo asked with a surprised expression,
"Rikki… have you learned to compose?"
"Mm."
Rikki nodded at Soyo.
She felt a bit awkward looking at Tomori.
Ever since Crychic disbanded, Rikki had been diligently learning to compose, hoping that one day she could create music worthy of Tomori's lyrics.
"I see…"
Nagasaki Soyo rubbed her fingernails, taking a deep breath.
"Then I'll leave it to Rikki."
"If you need any help, be sure to tell us."
Rikki hummed in response.
Nagasaki Soyo felt that.
Whether Rikki could compose or not, it wouldn't affect her plan.
Tomori's lyrics were enough.
She could take Tomori's lyrics to Xiangzi and ask Xiangzi to compose the music.
Besides… even if Rikki had learned to compose,
She hadn't been learning for long, so she definitely wouldn't be as good as Saki-chan, right?
Nagasaki Soyo found a rationalization for her actions.
Subsequently,
Shiina Rikki took a picture of Tomori's lyrics with her phone.
Nagasaki Soyo also took out her phone, smiling as she said, "I'll take a picture to look at later too."
No one thought much of it.
This was just normal behavior.
Even Chihaya Anon was eager to do the same.
The notebook returned to Takamatsu Tomori's hand.
