Can't you just leave me alone?

But she is a guest after all, and it is the most basic social etiquette to follow the guest.

So, she walked lightly into Dongma's villa.

After crossing the threshold, she froze for a while, as if she understood why Dongma and Sha wanted to do this.

The sound of music like a clear spring flows quietly in this mansion.

The source of this musical sound seems to be——

basement?

As a half practitioner, Mai Sakurajima can still hear the difference between recordings and live performances.

But the problem is, Dongma and Sha are clearly in front of my eyes?

So who is the player of this music?

When taking off the lady's leather shoes and putting on the rabbit slippers prepared by Touma Kazusa, Mai Sakurajima couldn't help thinking secretly.

Chapter 13 might as well do it all by me

The one playing musical instruments in the basement of Dongma's house is naturally Yuanjing.

The storage capacity of musical instruments in the Touma family is astonishing, although in this bar-like music room, for the sake of aesthetics, only commonly used musical instruments such as pianos, guitars, and basses are placed.

But this basement is actually connected to a musical instrument warehouse, where you can find almost all kinds of musical instruments in the world.

The Dongma family's love for music is deeply rooted in their bones.Even though her main business is the piano, Touma Yoko did not feel contemptuous towards other musical instruments because of this, but was rather tolerant.

After getting the access card of Touma's house, in fact, this music room, which can only be described as luxurious, has been unimpeded to Yuanjing.

But Yuanjing used this right very cautiously.

As the saying goes, the free ones are often the most expensive.

For this sentence, Yuan Jing actually has a deep understanding.

However, the warm-up work for this promotion was originally entrusted by Touma Kazusa, so there was no need to deliberately avoid suspicion.

Coincidentally, in order to test whether his idea is correct, Yuanjing also needs to improve his proficiency in other musical instruments. This is also an excellent opportunity.

There is no need to directly upgrade to Lv.3 like [Piano] and [Bass], according to Yuanjing's plan, the level of almost Lv.2 can fully meet the requirements of this so-called 'promotional warm-up' activity.

This goal is actually quite easy to achieve.

Yuan Jing has actually discovered that the more skills he has related to [music], the faster his proficiency will increase when he masters a new instrument.

The reason is estimated to be 'by analogy'?

This is particularly evident in violin instruments. [Violin], [Viola], and [Cello] are three instruments. Yuanjing broke through to Lv.1 at an extremely fast speed with just a little trial. Based on the increase in speed, it is estimated that it is not difficult to break through to Lv.2 with only one hour of practice.

However, if you want to go further and break through to the next level of Lv.3, then you need much more effort and time.

Fortunately, Lv. 2 is almost enough this time.

Removing the bow from the violin on his shoulder, Yuan Jing opened his eyes and let out a few mouthfuls of stale air.

Later, he discovered that in this underground music room, there was a girl with a good figure and long straight black.

Yuan Jing was a little surprised by this discovery, he looked at the senior who was sitting with Touma and Sa, and showed some doubts.

"Hello, my name is Mai Sakurajima." After all, Mai Sakurajima has been an entertainer in Sakurajima's entertainment industry for more than ten years, and the skill of observing words and emotions is naturally not low. student, but also an artist."

Noticing the boy's doubts, Mai Sakurajima stood up gracefully, stretched out her white right hand towards Yuan Jing, and introduced herself proactively.

Yuan Jing was wearing the St. Eden School uniform that Mai Sakurajima was quite familiar with.Because of this, she deliberately stated her own student status, and even put it before "artist" to create a natural intimacy.

Hey, so she is the 'bunny girl senior'?

Yuan Jing was slightly surprised.Comparing the black long straight girl in front of me with the image in the animation I watched in my previous life, I can only say that there are indeed very similarities.

It turns out that this is the three-dimensional image of Mai-senpai.

Sighing in his heart, Yuan Jing also stretched out his right hand, "Yuan Jing, a student in Class A of Senior One of St. Eden Academy, is also a musician."

Following Mai Sakurajima's sentence pattern, Minato introduced himself like this.

The two right hands split at the touch of a touch.

"The title song "Descent" was actually written by Yuan-san." Touma Kazusa added, with a proud expression on her face. At the same time, she also said to Yuan Jing, "Sister Sakurajima received I'm an artist commissioned by my mother, so I don't need to hide related matters from her."

Yuan Jing nodded without showing any surprise.With Touma Kazusa's character, he will not easily let unrelated people in.Mai Sakurajima can get the permission of Touma Kazusa, which means she must be a 'relevant person'.

Considering her status as an artist, the role she will play is ready to come out.

Unlike Yuanjing who didn't change his face, Mai Sakurajima stared at her starry eyes, opened her mouth slightly, and looked at this junior in disbelief.

As a singer, Sakurajima Mai actually got the score a long time ago, and knows how good this work is.

Her mother also sighed to herself, saying that Yoko Touma is indeed Yoko Touma, and her musical resources are so abundant that people are enviable. It is estimated that she asked a certain composer to compose it for her daughter. tune?

The two of them also deliberately analyzed the style, beat, and rhythm direction, trying to find out which master's new work it is.

Unexpectedly, a work of this quality was written by a student who just entered the first year of high school...

Yuan Jing didn't care about the cute expression of this senior she just met.

After figuring out the identity of the person who came, he picked up the violin again and gently drew the bowstring.

After listening to it for a while, Mai Sakurajima realized what the melody was.

That's the melody of "Arrival".

Although the main body of "Descent" is the piano, it uses a large number of other instruments as a backdrop.

Drums, bass, violin, viola, cello, double bass, guitar...these instruments are all represented in this piece.

What Yuanjing played was the violin part in the chorus.

Not only that, but after playing for a while, Sakurajima Mai found that Yuan Jing put down the violin as if nothing had happened, and took a guitar off the wall.

A sound completely different from that of a violin sounded.Mai Sakurajima pricked up her ears to listen, and sure enough, she heard the familiar melody again.

This is also "Arrival".

What exactly does this student of mine want to do?

During the interval between Yuanjing's performance, Mai Sakurajima expressed her doubts somewhat euphemistically.

Yuan Jing blinked, and said somewhat naturally, "As you can see, I'm preparing for the recording of "Descent."

Seeing that the doubtful look on Mai Sakurajima's face became stronger, Yuan Jing explained, "It's not about "Ascension" in the album, but about using it in the cultural festival of St. Eden Academy. Works. Then you can’t go to a professional group, you have to rely on the students of your school to complete it, and then you can participate in the selection.”

"But if you are looking for people from the music club, let alone whether they can spare time, you can agree." Yuan Jing shook his head lightly.

"Contacting them to commission, adjust the schedule, convey the intention of the arrangement, sign the silence agreement... If it takes so much work, it's better for me to perform all by myself and rely on recording technology to complete all the work, That way it is more likely to meet the deadline with a high-quality finished product.”

Yes, is that so?

Looking at Yuan Jing with a natural look, and Touma Kazusa beside him who is also full of confidence in this, Mai Sakurajima fell into deep thought——

Is it just me who thinks this is not normal?

Chapter 14 Are You Human?

The selection that Yuanjing talked about was actually a selection event held before the annual cultural festival of St. Eden Academy.

That is to select the 'song' of the cultural festival.

All the music teachers of St. Eden Academy will form a jury at this time, and student groups who are interested in this can submit their works through special channels to accept the teachers' review and scoring.

This channel is opened on the official website of St. Eden Academy.

It will start on the day the cultural festival is officially announced (that is, this Tuesday) and end one week before the official start of the cultural festival (that is, this weekend).

By the way, this weekend is also the deadline for the TV commercial samples provided by the school's film research club, graphic design club, and performing arts club, as well as the investment promotion work of various sponsors.

Because it is necessary to set aside a week for the student union to carry out comprehensive publicity activities.

This is Yuanjing's plan.

As long as it can pass the selection by the music teachers, "Ascension" as a "sacrificial song" will undoubtedly become a center of the grand promotional activities of St. Eden Academy and attract extraordinary attention.

The influence of the cultural festival at St. Eden Academy is enough to radiate more than half of Tokyo, and it is a super-large celebration with a flow of hundreds of millions.

The publicity effect it can play is immeasurable.

Not only that, by that time, Touma Yoko will have already returned to China, and the follow-up publicity plan will be able to catch up immediately.

From this point of view, this plan is really quite perfect.

Mai Sakurajima began to sort out the context of the incident in her mind, and the more she thought about it, the more feasible it became.

She is still very convinced of the quality of this song "Descent", and doesn't think there will be a better work than it.

As for whether there will be a black box operation... Mai Sakurajima is not worried about it.

There are clear and severe punishments for this kind of thing in the school regulations. Once discovered, they will be expelled from St. Eden Academy and lose this well-paid job; moreover, the whistleblower will also be rewarded quite generously.

In addition to mutual supervision between teachers, all entries will also be announced on the official website after the cultural festival.

If it is too obvious, the entire team of music teachers will be questioned or even criticized, which will shake the prestige of the teachers.

The students of St. Eden Academy are quite different from ordinary colleges. Because of their family conditions, their average appreciation ability is much higher than that of ordinary college students, and the same is true for their ability to provoke and fight.

If there is a black box operation, it will be a lot of fun.

The question now is-

"Obviously I am also a related person, why didn't you tell me about this?" Mai Sakurajima asked Yuan Jingfa, she had already seen between Yuan Jing and Touma Kazusa, which one was the one who made the decision People, "If I didn't pay a special visit today, I guess I would have been kept in the dark?"

Well this...

A look of embarrassment appeared on the young man's face. After coughing a little, Yuan Jing said, "Because, I actually didn't know that the singer Ms. Yaozi chose would be the same singer as me. A senior from the school."

"The 'Sacrifice Songs' of St. Eden Academy must be completed by students, and non-school personnel are not allowed to intervene, otherwise it will be regarded as a violation of the rules. Ms. Yaozi said that she invited a quite famous person to be a singer. I heard it I think it should be someone outside the school, so I didn't take it into consideration."

"That is to say, in your heart, do you already have a suitable candidate to be a singer?" Mai Sakurajima felt a little unhappy.

She wasn't angry with this talented junior, but just realized that her position was not irreplaceable, and she felt a sense of loss that was justified.

"Of course there are candidates, but..." Yuan Jing showed a little hesitation.

"You don't have to worry about my face, you might as well speak straight." Sakurajima Mai regarded this hesitation as a kind of protection for her dignity, "I would like to see if she is really more suitable than me. "

This is not a moment of anger.

Rather, it stems from Mai Sakurajima's absolute confidence in herself.

Since she was 6 years old, she has entered the entertainment circle to fight, and has been standing on the top until now.

It's clearly not something that can be done with just a pretty face.

In addition to the most important acting skills for an artist, she also deliberately honed her skills in singing and dancing.

Although she has not reached the level of an expert, she is confident that at least she will not hold back others.

Looking at Mai Sakurajima who inexplicably ignited a sense of resistance, Yuan Jing knew that she must have misunderstood something.But compared to verbal explanations, it is obviously better to have them face to face directly.

Yuan Jing took out his mobile phone, "If Sakurajima-senpai is so persistent, then it's not impossible for you to meet directly."

Saying so, the boy began tapping on the phone screen.

Because of the location, Mai Sakurajima couldn't see what Yuanjing was doing on the phone.

However, think about it.That should be sending a message to the other party, so that the other party can come over.

'Did she have an on-call relationship with her junior? Mai Sakurajima frowned in her heart, "That's right, judging from his junior's appearance alone, it's quite normal for him to have a few female friends who are always on call. '

"However, this means that I am at a disadvantage in terms of relationships, and I can only see if I can regain my strength..."

Just when Mai Sakurajima's thoughts were surging, Touma Kazusa also looked at Yuan Jing's phone with some curiosity, and she couldn't see what Yuan Jing was doing.

Yuan Jing's social circle is actually quite small, and Touma Kazusa knows exactly who he has made good friends in Tokyo.

'Who could it be?Qianhua?Yukino?Or the one named Hayasaka Ai?It can't be Shinomiya Kaguya, right? '

Dongma Kazusa didn't guess right.

Mai Sakurajima was also quite wrong.

Because the 'she' in Yuanjing——

Root · this · not · is · living · person.
