Chapter 57: A Change of Heart
"Unbelievable!" Sen Mu looked at Lie in front of him, and then asked, "Did you say you want to sing anything?" β
"I haven't decided to go yet." Lie shook his head: "I have never had the idea of being the lead singer, and this invitation is really too sudden." β
Put the ingredients in the pot, the hot pot is bubbling, and it will soon be ready to eat.
After Moriki and Natsumi arrived, they talked about someone inviting Lie to be the lead singer in the casual chat, and Moriki and Natsumi were very surprised.
"Her name is Hayakawa... Do you know each other? Lie asked.
Moriki and Natsumi shook their heads, obviously not knowing each other and having never heard of them.
"Then Hayakawa came again and took the instrument away with a few classmates... I wasn't there at the time, so I didn't reply. Lie said, "However, I will probably come back tomorrow." β
Moriki blinked, and suddenly an idea came to mind... However, the ingredients in the hot pot are already cooked, so let's start first!
"Did Moriki and Natsumi participate in anything at the academy joint festival?"
"Yes!" Moriki became excited and said, "Actually, I have already applied for a booth at the Comic Con!" β
"Comic Con..."Lie tilted his head, among the ten categories, there is this one of the Comic Con, to be honest, I really don't understand why it passed.
Natsumi looked helpless and said, "Moriki has been making clumsy magical girl Blowing Snow Sauce doujin games for a long time, and this time I hope that more fans of the same kind will see his work through the comic exhibition." β
"I see," Lie nodded.
Although Natsumi seems to be very helpless, she is actually very happy to be able to accompany Moriki to do these things, right?
Everyone was chatting while eating hot pot, and Lie knew that not only Moriki and Natsumi would go, but Xiao Ye and that person would also be together, which could be regarded as forming a group.
"It's an enviable life to gather like-minded enthusiasts and work on one thing together." Lie sighed: "Recently, I'm really tired." β
Zero brought some noodles from the kitchen, and when eating hot pot, Lie likes to add some noodles.
"Do you like to sing?" Natsumi asked suddenly.
"Singing?" Lie thought for a moment and replied, "It's not annoying, it should be nice to sing with friends once in a while." β
"That's right..."Natsumi blinked, ate the food she picked into the bowl, and then said to Lie, "Then, is Lie happy?" β
βοΌοΌβ
"Lie doesn't seem to be well involved, so I want to ask, is Lie happy?" Natsumi's gaze suddenly became deep, and she asked in a soothing tone.
"It's a good participation," said Lie, "It's because I'm involved in the preparation of the joint festival that I've been so busy lately." β
Xia Mei shook her head and said, "Participating in the preparation is naturally participating, but did Lie enjoy it in the process?" β
"The academy joint festival is an opportunity to make everyone happy, but Lie seems to be a little unhappy, which is not good."
Lie was dumbfounded for a while, Xia Mei didn't continue, and everyone continued to eat hot pot and chat about some happy topics. However, what Natsumi said just now kept circling in Lie's mind.
"Are you happy... And, are they happily participating? "Lie looked at Zero... At least, she's happy to eat hot pot with her friends now.
"Let's sing!" After eating, Moriki proposed, and it seemed that she wanted to know how Lie was singing.
But... It's a residential area, and it's night, so it's a nuisance!
"Hee-hee~" After Morimu realized that something was wrong, he smiled mischievously and tried to pass the test.
β¦
Following.
"Pounced", jumped into the water, and it was time for swimming lessons, swimming in the pool.
Thinking about Xia Mei's words yesterday, Lie was a little melancholy, probably confused about his current life? Lie remembers that he came to this world in the first place to re-experience the life of a student, but something went wrong in the middle.
Climbing up from one end of the pool, Lie sat on the edge and looked at the frolicking classmates around him. Most of them were not involved in the preparations, but they were very much looking forward to the joint festival, or rather, this is their life.
"What about yourself?" Lie asked himself: "I've been in this world for a long time, and I've been awake for a while, what kind of life do you want?" β
It seemed like a clear question, but now it's a little melancholy, like life has lost its direction all of a sudden.
βMasterγβ Zero came over with a towel, draped it over for Lie, and sat aside.
A pair of feet reached into the pool, splashing out of joy, and stayed here quietly.
"Zero, after you... What's the plan? Lie suddenly asked about this, obviously he hadn't thought about it before.
"After that?" Zero replied as a matter of course, "With Master, of course." β
"Follow the Master all the time, that's the biggest thing about Zero."
ββ¦β
Lie lowered his head and looked at Zero with a sincere gaze, pure and unsullied.
"Zero will be with you at the ends of the earth, Master."
The atrium seemed to have suffered a heavy blow, and Lie's eyes were a little blurry for a while, probably when he was swimming just now..."Plop~", Lie jumped into the water, swam back and forth quickly, and calmed down when he went ashore again.
"What am I worried about," Lie's heart knot last night seemed to disappear at once, thinking, "There are still many things to do for yourself!" β
"Let's go." Lie took Zero's hand and walked towards Gujin, Haijin, and the place where the students were frolicking not far away.
"Isn't enjoying a good campus life what you've been doing?"
β¦
"This is it, right?" Leo looked inside the classroom, searching for Hayakawa's figure.
After school at noon, Lie and Zero had lunch together and ran to Hayakawa's classroom, and it was better to write a reply.
"Lord Lie!" Hayakawa's voice of surprise came from behind him.
"Gui'an, Hayakawa."
"Gui'an, Lord Lie, Zero"
"Regarding the fact that I was invited to be the lead singer before, now... Hayakawa can reply. β
"Really?" Hayakawa covered his mouth and took a step back, waiting for Ryu's reply.
"I've decided..."Ryu looked at Hayakawa's nervous appearance, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl.
β¦
"When we first met, I was Misaki. Chinatsu. β
"When we first met, I was Momoya. Dance. β
The two girls stand in front of Rytsu, Hayakawa's band buddies and classmates.
"When we first met, I was Lie."
"When we first met, I was zero."
When he met Hayakawa before, Ryu told Hayakawa that he didn't know much about the band, so he wanted to give it a try, and if he was sure he could, he would agree to Hayakawa's invitation.
So, Hayakawa took Ryu and Zero to find her companions, and then went to the place where Rye and his party usually practiced.
This is a music room, and there are good noise prevention measures all around, so you don't have to worry about disturbing the students outside. A few musical instruments that were taken from Ryu were placed here for Hayakawa and his party to rehearse.
"Great, Lord Lie, you're really here!" Lossaki. Chinatsu is the tallest of the three of them, and she has a lot of R.
"yes, I didn't expect Lord Lie to really come!" Apparently she and Momoya. Wu all know Lie, or have always respected Lie.
Lie stepped forward, touched the instruments, and narrowed his eyes... What would it be like if I were the lead singer? I've never done anything like it, can I do it?
When Lie picked up the microphone, his heart was much quieter, and Hayakawa also walked over at this time.
"Lord Lie, choose a song."
"Shall I come?" Lie hesitated and asked, "What do Hayakawa-san usually sing?" β
When asked about this by Lie, the two girls behind Hayakawa suddenly showed embarrassed looks and looked at Hayakawa worriedly. Hayakawa's expression remained unchanged, and he responded in a calm tone: "It's all pop songs." β
"I don't know much about it." Lie shook his head, handed the microphone to Hayakawa, and said, "If you can, let's ask Hayakawa to play a song first." β
"Yes, Lord Lie." Hayakawa took a few steps forward and tried the sound, as if he were trying out a microphone at a karaoke.
"Qianxia, dance, you come and help me."
Hearing Hayakawa's words, Ozaki . Chinatsu and Peach Valley. Mai picked up their respective instruments and prepared to start playing.
ββ¦β
The moment the music played, Lie's body reacted, and he didn't hate it.
Once Hayakawa started singing, his demeanor was very different from before, and his singing voice had a strange magic, which prompted Ryu to gradually integrate into it.
At the end of the song, Lie couldn't help but applaud, although he always felt that there was something strange about it.
"Hayakawa sings great."
"Thank you, Lord Lie, you can try it too." Hayakawa handed the microphone to Ryu and looked at it expectantly.
"I'm coming..."Ryu closed his eyes, remembering what Hayakawa had just sang..."Well, I'll try!"
"Misaki-san, Momoya-san, please."
The music sounded again, and what Ryo was going to sing at this time was exactly what Hayakawa had just sung... Although he is now learning and selling, Lie has relied on his unusual memory ability and imitation ability to sing all the lyrics and basic tunes.
Zero has been beside him, looking at Hayakawa, and always feeling that something is wrong with her eyes... How to say it, there seems to be a faint sense of worship and inexplicable heart?
Lie and Hayakawa sang for a long time, but because of time problems, they had to end. However, Lie found that although he may not be particularly good at singing, he still likes this activity very much.
So on the way back, Ryu said to Hayakawa, "It's not impossible for me to join, but I still have to prepare for the joint festival, so I don't have enough time." β
"And, again, starting as a newbie... If Hayakawa finds another lead singer, the chances of getting the academy representative will be higher. β
"But if I do join, maybe in the end I will lose my eligibility for selection."
"How come, as long as RyΕ«-sama can come, Hayakawa... And everyone is very satisfied! β
"Is that so? In that case..."Lie smiled and said to Hayakawa, "After that, please Hayakawa!" β
"Yes, Lord Lie!"
β¦
"I really joined!" Lena and Monroe looked at Lie in surprise, and Shiyu ran to Lie to see if Lie was sick.
"Actually, I still like it." Lie explained: "And Hayakawa was so sincere in her invitation that she finally joined her band. β
"But it's already been said that I will only practice when I have free time, and it will not affect my usual tasks."
"Knock~" A young girl walked in with the form, bent down slightly and saluted, and said, "Excuse me, I'm here to get the equipment, this is the form that has been approved for the application." β
Lie walked over and took the form, and after reading the contents on it, he led the girl to the place where the items were stored. After she had selected and counted the items, Lie brought the notebook to her signature.
"Thank you." As she was leaving, the girl said.
"Minister." Not long after the girl left, Ann and Aisha came over, who had just finished some of their tasks.
"Give." Zero took out two glasses of water from it and handed them to Ann and Aisha.
Drinking elegantly, they were indeed thirsty, and they also wanted to rest for a while.
"No, the minister wants to join the band!" Knowing this, they were also very surprised and hurriedly asked about the specific situation.
Lie sat aside, and Zero and Shiyu were telling Xiao An and Aisha about it... No classmates came over for the time being, and Lie looked at his members.
At this time, everyone was there, chatting with each other in a circle, and from time to time there was laughter like silver bells, what a group of happy girls. Lie saw the smile on their faces, and the joy in their eyes.
Maybe the work of counting and distributing items is boring, and everyone gets together, talks and laughs, and occasionally plays a small game, which is actually very happy.
The corners of Lie's mouth went up, he probably brought them happiness, right? Although in the end, it is they who bring them happiness.
"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry~" Lena accidentally knocked over the water glass, and Mo Lian's skirt got wet... Well, it's tempting to say!
"It's fine." Mo Lian didn't mind, and Suigu on the side hurriedly brought a towel.
But the glass of water was full, and almost all of it was spilled on Mo Lian's skirt, so... It is better to change your clothes.
"The nun dress is in the chapel, I'll go get it." Hoya was about to leave after speaking, but Ryu stopped her.
"Ahem, I'll go." Lie explained: "I'm tired of sitting, so I'm just going out for a walk. β
ββ¦β
Well, the real reason is that Mo Lian is too calm! After she felt that her skirt was wet and uncomfortable, she took it off directly before Suiya brought her clothes!
It's just terrible, even though it's not on the street, and it's full of girls... But Lie is a man! To be precise, the blood is strong! (Fog)
In short, when he saw Mo Lian take off her skirt calmly and sit at the table without concealment, Lie decided to take clothes for Hoya... Talking, why doesn't Mo Lian have the habit of wearing safety pants? I saw all the black lace... Also, it seems that it has been affected, and you can see some water damage...
Before things get any worse, get out of here!
