Chapter 23: Dragonflies

"There are still two months to go until the New Year's Festival, and our guitar club must come up with a surprising work, a snow last year's shame!"

Senior Ito of the guitar club sat cross-legged at the front and looked at everyone with a serious face.

At last year's New Year's festival of the guitar club, the members of the performance did not know if it was because of nervousness or negligent maintenance of the guitar, and as a result, the strings were plucked out as soon as they were excited.

Facing the laughing audience, the member of the club left the stage before he performed.

This incident has always been regarded as a shame by Ito, and he decided to make a name for himself in the guitar club this year no matter what.

Seeing that the members on both sides were listening carefully, Ito nodded with satisfaction, "Then we will start to select the program today, and the rest of the time will be used for practice." ”

"Ah~" Everyone was stunned for a while, "Is Senior Ito too anxious?" ”

"There are only two months left, and I have to practice after the selection, and I must not happen again like last year." Ito waved his hand and said without doubt.

Everyone sighed for a while, but Shirakawa Kaede looked like he was watching a play. At my level, it's not my turn anyway, eat melons ~ eat melons ~

"Shirakawa-kun"

"Eh, Hay" Shirakawa Kaede was stunned for a moment, then sat up straight.

"You don't have to play the guitar, just sing a song, whatever." Ito seems to have seen through Shirakawa Kaede's careful thoughts, and it is impossible to watch a play. If you can't play, then sing a few lines.

"Huh?" Shirakawa Kaede's face was full of astonishment, isn't this a guitar club, why are you still singing.

"Okay", several other female students in the club cheered, of course this kind of thing is welcome, eat melons ~ eat melons ~ Ito didn't give him a chance to resign at all, "As a member of the guitar club, everyone has to make their own contribution. Of course, singing is also a kind of contribution to everyone's fatigue. After saying that, Ito himself couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Haha" Everyone also laughed, especially Asuka Kobayashi, who had anticipation and schadenfreude in her eyes.

You just can't see me playing soy sauce on the side, Shirakawa Kaede complained in his heart.

So after the students went to show off their guitar skills, everyone tacitly gathered around Shirakawa Kaede and looked at him expectantly.

Alas, what are you singing, there are not many Japanese songs that you know. Shirakawa Kaede pondered for a while, rummaging through his poor music library, and finally found a suitable song.

"Well, this song is called "Dragonfly", please give me a lot of advice."

"Dragonfly"? I don't think I've heard of it, and everyone is confused and expectant.

"Every time I grunt, I stumbled on the asphalt

The flower capital of Greater Tokyo that I once longed for to die for"

This is the first time that Shirakawa Kaede has sung in front of everyone, and it is also the first time he has heard himself sing since coming to this world.

I was a little surprised when I opened my mouth, hey, it seems that the voice is not bad.

He thought of the song because he thought of the first time he and Torotaro came to Tokyo.

Obviously, it wasn't a wonderful memory, but it was quite appropriate for this song. They are also from the countryside, and they are full of enthusiasm for Tokyo. It's just that they are greeted with the prosperity of the city and the indifference of the city.

"Ah~ Happy Dragonfly, where are you flying to?

Ah~ The happy dragonfly is sticking out its tongue and smiling."

The narrow river in front of the deer village, the fish in the river, running along the riverbank, as the acquaintances of the spectators among the branches and leaves.

Everyone jumped and cheered, enthusiastic and sincere. It's just that they're all getting farther and farther away ...

The singing gradually stopped, and Shirakawa Kaede put away his memories.

He doesn't understand music, and that's under the raids of the past few months. Barely have a basic knowledge of music theory, and can recognize simple notation. No, singing now is at least guaranteed not to be out of tune, not to sing the wrong note.

After singing a song, I saw that everyone did not speak. He was still a little embarrassed, "Thank you for your care." ”

Everyone looked at each other with disbelief in their eyes.

"Wow~!" "Wait! Ito-senpai stretched out his hand to stop everyone's cheers.

He looked at Shirakawa Kaede with a serious face, "Shirakawa-kun, this song is called "Dragonfly", right?" ”

Shirakawa Kaede nodded.

"If I'm not mistaken," Ito leaned forward, "I don't think I've heard anyone sing this song yet, am I mistaken?" ”

Shirakawa Kaede thought about it, it seems that this song has not been released in the original time and space. He shook his head, affirming Ito's conjecture.

Ito-senpai took a deep breath and said in a somewhat cautious tone, "In other words, this song is... Original? ”

Shirakawa Kaede's face was hot, and he couldn't explain to him that this was a song a few years later. So I could only nod weakly.

It's the first time I've done this kind of thing, and I'm still quite weak-hearted.

"Si Guoyi!" Senior Ito clapped his palms and took the lead in cheering.

"Awesome, Shirakawa-kun."

"I didn't expect that this guy Bai Chuan has a pretty good voice, and he really can't hear what he usually says."

"The lyrics are really well written, and they are very empathetic. The sound is like a clear spring, clear and clear. ”

"Good job, Shirakawa!"

Senior Ito's cheers also made everyone enthusiastic. There was a lot of chatter around Shirakawa Kaede.

"I've decided!" Seeing that he had attracted everyone's attention, Ito continued, "At the New Year's Festival, Shirakawa-kun will come on stage to sing this song, and we will accompany him. ”

"Huh?" Shirakawa Kaede was dumbfounded.

"Yo Xi!" Unlike Kaede Shirakawa, the others unanimously agreed with President Ito's decision.

"It's not..., wait" Shirakawa Kaede explained in a bit of a panic, "Ito-senpai, we're a guitar club." ”

Ito waved his hand, "That's right, you sing." We play the guitar accompaniment for you. ”

Shirakawa Kaede was stunned, can it still be like this?

"Don't worry, Shirakawa-kun." Ito patted Shirakawa Kaede on the shoulder, "You sing very well, maybe you haven't discovered your singing talent yourself." At least in our guitar club, you're the one who sings best. ”

The surrounding people expressed their approval, and Asuka Kobayashi quietly gestured to him with a cheering gesture. In addition, there are a few senior sisters who secretly send Qiubo.

Shirakawa Kaede sighed, this was a duck that was driven to the shelves.

So in the case that the guitar club unanimously agreed, and Shirakawa Kaede opposed it invalidly. The New Year's festival performance of the guitar club was hastily turned into a song of "Dragonfly".

So after the start of the new semester, Shirakawa Kaede has one more task. Come to the activity classroom regularly and practice singing. Even Ito found him a vocal teacher who was said to have been a professional in the past to teach him.

Not to mention the wonderful life on campus, on this day, Shirakawa Kaede returned to the dormitory, took Daiji Yamashita as usual, and prepared to go to the apartment near Asakusa together.

Throughout the summer vacation, Daiji Yamashita was trained by the ruthless capitalist Shirakawa Kaede to become a fully automatic worker, but he himself was still enjoying it.

In Yamashita's own words, he can do what he likes and earn money. Where can I find this kind of good thing? It's a lot of fun.

Since buying the Daihatsu, Torotaro's range of activities has gradually expanded to the nearby Adachi district.

The natural harvest is also quite abundant, every time I come back. The rear seats are removed and can be filled.

Fortunately, with the help of Daiji Yamashita, otherwise Shirakawa Kaede might not be able to handle so many electrical appliances alone.

It can be seen that Yamashita Daiji was pulled into the water at the beginning..., phew, it can be seen how right it is to find Yamashita Daiji to work and earn some pocket money.

Of course, Shirakawa Kaede will definitely not treat him badly. At least you are paid more than you would be paid to work as a waiter in a restaurant.

"Hey, why hasn't Torotaro come back today? Did this guy go for a drink halfway through? ”

Coming to the Asakusa apartment, it's strange that Torotaro is not at home. The car wasn't there, and it was long overdue to come back at the usual time.
