Mygo, you guys seem to be getting a bit heavy-hearted.

Is it okay to just stay here?

頑張りすぎないように,

You don't have to work that hard.

気づいた时でいい,

It's good to realize that.

The self-distribution of oneself is the best, the receiving is the stopping,

Gently accept yourself.

《栞》

The lamp wrote the final title on the notebook.

What are "ordinary" and "taken for granted"?

She thought she had found the answer.

Chapter Fifty-Five: New Song

“New song! Finished—!” ​​The moment the lamp put down its pen, oblivionis picked up the notebook as if it were a priceless treasure and held it high above his head.

Unlike "Spring Shadows"

If "Spring Shadow" is a song entirely depicted from the perspective of the five members of Crychic, then...

So this song, "Kai," is a song about "the lamp" told from the perspectives of three people: the lamp, Xiangzi himself, and Yanming.

That’s great…

Even if I can no longer spend time with Xiaodeng like this in the future, I have still left my own mark on Xiaodeng's notebook...

It’s really great…

"Don't get so agitated, Oblivionis. You'll disturb the other customers. Sit down." Yanming seemed much calmer than Xiangzi, but upon closer inspection, there was a barely perceptible redness in the corners of his eyes. After calming Oblivionis down, he asked Deng:

"Little Lamp, why is the song titled 'Shiori'? Is there any deeper meaning behind it?"

The lamp nodded

bookmark

Bookmarks, guides, and twigs for leading the way

"Regardless of the interpretation... it's very similar to 'our' situation... so, I wanted to choose this name..."

Xiangzi wanted to invite Deng to join Crychic because he saw Deng's notebook.

Yanming also became connected with the lamp because of the same notebook.

In their eyes, the lamp is always the one that needs to be cared for and guided...

"I understand. The lyrics... are very well written. Now all that's left is the arrangement. What do you say, Oblivionis?"

"The arrangement will be finished in two days at the latest. The inspiration and creative urge are simply unstoppable!" Xiangzi clasped his hands together and hugged his chest, his face full of intoxication, as if he had not yet come out of the immersion in the lyrics.

Yanming: "..."

lamp:"……"

Oh well, as long as Xiaoxiang is happy, that's all that matters. *2

Yanming decisively ignored oblivionis, who was showing his octopus tentacles, and got up and walked to the front desk as if nothing had happened: "Then the live time can be confirmed within this week. I'll go ask Ms. Rinrinko if there are any seats available for us."

The complete version of "Shiori" will be released the day after tomorrow, giving them about three more days to practice and refine their rehearsals. As for these two days, they can use "Spring Shadow" as a practice piece, which will also allow him to test the skills and style of that internet celebrity lady...

Yanming's eyes suddenly sharpened.

Tsk, he almost overlooked something so important!

The lyrics of "Shiori" destined it to be a fast-paced song, and it may not even have anything to do with rock.

He probably can't avenge the grudge between him and Miaomeng.

"Miss Rinrinko, do you have a moment?"

“Yes, of course~” Rinrinko’s eyes lit up slightly when she saw Yanming come over to talk to her. “I have time after get off work, Mr. Yanming.”

Worried that Yanming might not have understood her meaning, she added, "What I mean is, I just thought about it... perhaps we could give it a try, after all, given your circumstances..."

A white feather emerged from in front of the counter, precisely interrupting the shop assistant's astonishing statement: "Rinrinko, we're going to have a live performance."

"Little Lenai, wait a moment, the adults have important business to attend to..."

“Live?” Le Nai turned around and tugged at Yan Ming’s sleeve. “Yan Ming, let’s start the live performance.”

"Okay." Yanming touched Lena's soft hair, then turned to Rinrinko, who seemed to want to say something more, and said, "Miss Rinrinko, I'd like to see the schedule for the next live performance."

"..." Rinrinko stared at Ryuna, who looked completely innocent.

"Meow?" Why are you looking at her?

Rinrinko took a deep breath: "Okay."

For the next month, this cat won't get a free parfait from her.

Afterwards, Yanming explained his needs to the shop assistant in detail.

"Hmm... In that case, there's a 15-minute warm-up performance at this location on a weekend evening at 9 PM. The student band we booked had to cancel at the last minute. What do you think, Mr. Yanming?"

"This is it." Fifteen minutes is more than enough time to play one song, and most bands can manage two songs if they don't make too many mistakes.

Considering the special nature of this live performance, time needs to be allocated for the MC after playing "Shiori," and we can make full use of about fifteen minutes.

"Okay, let me register you. What's the band's name?"

Yanming was taken aback.

Band name?

He had completely forgotten about this matter.

Since they felt that it was just a band put together temporarily, there was no need to give it a meaningful band name.

Right now... there's really no need for that, is there? Just get by with whatever comes up.

Yanming gave a vague answer: "We haven't decided on a band name yet."

“Then we need to settle on a name quickly,” Rinrinko said with a smile. “A good band name is very effective in improving cohesion. If you want the band to last, this is very important. You should pay attention, Mr. Yanming.”

"...Let's talk about it next time." Yanming felt a little guilty.

Rinrinko smoothly entered the information: "Okay, then let's register as an anonymous band for now. By the way, I'm really looking forward to Mr. Yanming and Rina's performance."

"Huh? A live show... Why so suddenly?!" Meow Dream, who happened to be nearby, overheard the store clerk's words.

She only joined on her first day and doesn't know anything about the band yet. Is it really okay to be so hasty?

I haven't touched my drum set in a while, and it will take time to get back into shape...

“It’s not sudden; this was decided before Miss Miaomeng joined.” Yanming turned around. “As you can see, our time is already very tight, so I hope you can also feel the pressure and practice diligently to avoid any mishaps during the performance…”

"Miss Yutenji Wakana, you don't want the news of you being caught stalking a little girl to spread online, do you?"

A bead of cold sweat trickled down Miaomeng's forehead as she awkwardly laughed, "How could that be? I love playing the drums, meow hahaha..."

"Let's add each other on Line. I'll send you the sheet music for the piece we're going to practice later. Take a look first, and then we'll get started."

If she accidentally plays a wrong note, Yanming could take the opportunity to settle a personal score and start a second season of "Love Cat TV".

Miao Meng's professional expression was starting to crumble: "Ara ara... Um, Yanming-kun, why do I see murderous intent in your eyes?"

"You're mistaken?"

"At least give me a positive answer!"

……

Chapter Fifty-Six: The Most Meow Fantasy

Two days passed in the blink of an eye

[Miss Xiangzi hasn't come over for two days... I'm dying without any couples to ship.]

"We can't disturb Xiao Xiang's music arrangement, and what did you mean by that last sentence?"

[...It's nothing special, hehe (???)]

Aside from the new song, Yutenji Wakamai's level of understanding is pretty much complete.

To be honest, it really surprised him.

It's not that the guy's drumming was particularly good; objectively speaking, it was only slightly above average. Compared to her technique, Yanming was more concerned about her being a hand that she was using.

What surprised Yanming was the skill with which Miaomeng played the drums.

It's hard to imagine how much sweat and effort went into creating that feeling of almost integrating every drumbeat into your muscles.

This seemingly eccentric and cunning female internet celebrity, Miaomeng, is an absolute hard worker who even Yanming would admire.

"Ordinary drumbeats don't seem to be able to kill her..."

[...Host, you said it out loud.]

Fortunately, it hasn't been stupid enough to offend its host, otherwise, with its petty nature of holding grudges over small things for a lifetime, it wouldn't even be able to sleep soundly at night.

Yanming ignored the system, stretched his back, stood up from the sofa, and carried the bass on his shoulder.

"It's almost time to go out."

Yanming didn't know that the arranger of "Spring Shadow" was Toyokawa Shoko, so at this moment, he was actually quite looking forward to seeing Shoko's arrangement for the first time, and even the sound of closing the door was noticeably louder.

[Excuse, really, he was just bored from not being able to spend time with anyone for two days...]

"You want to die, don't you?"

Meow! (^?x?^)

It was overheard.

……

"Am I the last one to arrive today?" Yanming walked into the rehearsal room, only to find that everyone else had already arrived. Even Le Nai was happily eating a parfait in the corner, probably bought for her by Miao Meng.

"Greetings, Mr. Yanming."

"Mr. Yanming... Good afternoon."

"Yanming".

"Hey buddy, you're late."

Yanming rolled his eyes at Miaomeng: "You only arrived a few minutes earlier than me, right?"

"No way! I was the first one here." Miao Meng put down the warm drumsticks in her hand, unconvinced, and stood up to argue with Yan Ming.

"Really? Has Haruhi Kage practiced until she can practice without making any mistakes?"

Miaomeng, who had just stood up, sat down again.

"Brother Yanming, being so strict won't win a girl's heart. Be a little more lenient with me, a newbie."

Two days is still too short. Besides Kasuga Kage, Meowmon has a lot of rehabilitation work to complete, plus she also has video editing work to do, so the time she can use to practice Kasuga Kage is even less.

By the way, yesterday, after her persistent pleading and the barrage of patronage, Xiao Le Nai finally agreed to her filming request. Although Le Nai's screen time was less than a minute, thanks to Miao Meng's promotion, many people still learned that their band was preparing to hold a live performance.

With her own popularity and the added buzz of "space's wildcat," the weekend's live performance might be even more exciting.

This is all laying the foundation for her future foray into the music industry... If it can generate discussion online...

Hehehe—which popular band should I bring my talent to? That up-and-coming Raise A Suilen seems pretty rich, but for me, Roselia's style is definitely more suitable, right?

So conflicted.

Teacher DaMiao was lost in beautiful daydreams about the future.

Yanming raised an eyebrow: "You're a complete novice when it comes to ghosts. You can only fool yourself with those kinds of words."

“But Miaomeng is a newbie, you see, apart from Yanming’s bass, I’m the worst one in this band, right?” Miaomeng casually played a few exciting drumbeats on the drum kit, her words laced with sarcasm.
