"When I was in middle school, I joined the band for two and a half years."

Akane Tsukichi is not inexperienced, and she can't see that she has played in a band for such a long time.

"I can learn."

When it was Shiyu's turn, she replied with some embarrassment, there were no modern musical instruments during the Warring States period, and she was proficient in the shamisen, but it was not useful.

Really, aren't we just trying to be a teacher? Once the light music club is restarted, won't my extracurricular life revolve around these little girls?

Graduated from Kyoto University, it took more than ten years to work in a private high school, and Mr. Kobayashi, who was lying down, thought bitterly in his heart, but on the surface he agreed with a kind face.

I see!

Fujii Shu listened to Shiyu explain the process, and at this time he also arrived home, put his bicycle into the garage, and ended this busy and fulfilling day.

Time passed quickly, during which Shi Yu and the others found the school's choir department and asked them to record the choral passages of Ultramarine, and after nearly two weeks of practice, they barely reached the standard of going on stage.

On the evening of the day before the campus festival, after the last rehearsal in the activity room of the light music club, Fujii looked at Rina Tomosaka, who was sweating profusely, Akane Tsukiike, who was panting slightly, and Shi Yu, whose face did not change, and he saw all the efforts made during this time.

"Everyone,Tomorrow's school festival,Enjoy it.。

There were a thousand words for a while, but there was only this one sentence of encouragement on his lips, Fujii Shu stretched out his hand, and everyone put themselves together, shouting cheers.

On October 14th, Hachioji High School's annual campus festival began.

The life of high school students in the island country is more comfortable than that of ordinary people, and on the day of the campus festival, the school is open to the public, so some nearby residents come to see the excitement.

More than 20 members of the performance department performed "From the New World" on the main stage of the auditorium of the campus festival, which won the applause of hundreds of audiences.

Fujii Shu unpacked the delivery purchased online from Amazon, waited backstage in the auditorium, and put a horse's head mask on his head, the reason why he did this was because he didn't want his celebrity to be the center of attention, this performance was to give Shi Yu a chance to perform, and his life was enough to shine.

After the rock band howls wolf, the host announces the names of the light music section and summons them to the stage.

"The next program is the song of the light music department - Ultramarine, please look forward to it."

The three girls wearing autumn school skirts appeared one after another, and when Fujii Shu, who was wearing a horse's head mask and a former school suit, came on the stage, it caused a lot of discussion in the audience.

"What is this? Spoof the band? ”

"I feel a little disgusting, is this look too ugly to see people?"

"Can you sing well? I haven't heard the song Ultramarine, it's an amateur original song, right? ”

"The lead singer is so beautiful! The other two girls are not bad, are they idol-type bands? ”

Shi Yu stood in front of the microphone in the main position with an electric guitar, and Rina Tomosaka, who has always been very aggressive, was rarely serious, and Akane Tsukichi tapped the shell of the bass with her fingers, which was not as relaxed as it looked.

"Everyone, please enjoy the ultramarines of our light sound department, let's go together!"

There have been many big scenes where Fujii Shu shouted into the microphone in front of the electronic keyboard, and each of them had a microphone in front of him.

Stepping on the effect at his feet, Shiyu played the first note, Rina Tomosaka played the drum, Fujii's rhythm followed, and Akane Tsukiike's bass played steadily.

"Ah, it's business as usual."

"It's a time without waves, and it's boring and sleepy."

Opening his mouth to sing the first lyrics, the ear grabbing is unprecedented, although the ultramarines of later generations are no longer so beautiful because of the repeated playback, but the first time you hear it, you can perceive its extraordinary.

"Across the hustle and bustle of the night, today, the morning light often falls on the streets of Shibuya."

Shi Yu's voice is cold and special, compared to the original singing, there is a sense of alienation, and some of the audience who are talking in the audience have already raised their mobile phones to start recording.

"I don't know why, I feel inexplicably empty, and I'm extremely bored."

Kobayashi, the music teacher in the audience, had already covered his mouth in surprise, was this really a song that students could compose? The degree of completion is too high!

"But it doesn't matter, that's all, that's it."

Before the climax of the song's chorus, the four members of the light section approached the microphone at the same time and sang along with the recorded chorus accompaniment.

"Hidden unconsciously, let the true voice of the heart echo, look."

Some audience members began to follow along, turning on the flash of their mobile phones, forming a sea of light.

"Even if you pretend you can't see it, it's there."

Rina Tomosaka banged hard, tears oozed from the corners of her eyes, this time of hard work was not in vain, God knows how many times she asked her cousin, who wrote three songs in a row and didn't use it, soured her.

Akane Tsukichi, who has a layer of calluses on the inside of her fingers, still maintains the rhythm of the bass, and she will practice for a few more hours after returning from the group practice every day.

The ice on Shi Yu's face gradually melted, and she finally reached a happy mood, and music is the best way to awaken people's passion.

"Ah, in the color of your choice, let your feelings paint it."

"Even though it makes me feel uneasy to be honest about the things I love."

She plays the guitar and smiles at the audience who are in the mood of the song.

"But I seem to have met my true self."

Fujii's piano intervention, professional piano skills and masterful appeal swept the audience in the solo.

"Hidden unconsciously, let the true voice of the heart echo, come on."

The audience gradually followed, and the struggle conveyed by this song is the best dye to smear youth.

"Even if you pretend not to see it, it does exist, at least it does."

"Even if you pretend not to see it, it is still in your heart."

The vocals overwhelmed the instruments, and the audience sang the final stanza in chorus, and the ultramarine song ended.

"Thank you, thank you!"

Everyone in the light music department thanked them with microphones, and in the encore sound of repeating it, they packed up their equipment and left the show, they only prepared this song, and there were other clubs to perform later.

"I'll go back first, it's hard to leave later."

Fujii Shu slipped away after stepping down, and when he copied this song, he understood the lethality of ultramarine, coupled with the ornamentation of Shi Yu and the two beautiful girl members, maybe the audience would block the door after a while.

As soon as he walked away with his front feet wearing a horse's head mask, there were students from Hachioji High School behind him, some wanted to sign autographs, and some wanted to take a group photo.

"Ultramarine? It's a good way to get the word out. ”

At the edge of the auditorium, Hachioji Principal Sakura realized that every time the school festival was held, the school had the habit of recording the whole performance, and the book would be distributed to each student as a souvenir when they graduated.

In the evening, YouTube's video site uploaded the full version of Ultramarine's live multi-camera production officially produced by Hachioji High School, and with some of the previous incomplete video streams, coupled with excellent songs and the good looks of band member JK, it suddenly became a popular video.

"Click!"

In the cold-toned room, a girl with pale skin due to long-term inactivity and sunlight pauses the Sony Walkman, takes out the tape with the EVA logo, and sighs.

She got up and sat barefoot by the computer, put on the Senhai HD800 headphones plugged into the tank amplifier, and turned on the power.

It's another boring day.

Scrolling aimlessly through the video on the Internet, her eyes are full of tiredness, her father Nagara Sosuke has been on a business trip for almost 20 days, and he hasn't come home yet, and she has also been at home for 20 days, not going to school, as if protesting something.

"It's a time without waves, and it's boring and sleepy."

Until she stopped in front of a video page of a high school student's performance, a gleam flashed in the eyes of the girl Nagara Yuki, and when she heard the chorus passage, crystal clear tears fell from her cheeks to the tip of her chin, wetting the back of her hands.

"Knock knock! I'm back, and tomorrow I remember to wake up early for class. ”

There was a familiar knock at the door, and Sosuke Nagara, who had recovered from his injuries, put down his lunch box and turned to walk to the study.

"Well, father, my life can't go on like this."

Yuki Nagara, who had been escaping reality, whispered, took out the blank tape, made the video on the web page into audio format, and transcribed it into a high-fidelity tape.

Labeled with the song name Ultramarine, and put it on the Sony Walkman, Nagara Yuki lay on the bed, listening over and over again, shrinking his body.

Until you close your eyes and fall asleep.

Thank you Phantom Feather for the reward.
