Young people with light music will not encounter lonely rock music

"How's it going, Ryo? What did Mr. Sawano say?"

Walking towards Yamada Ryo, Kotobuki Hikaru immediately asked.

"Take a guess?"

"? Stop teasing people at times like this..."

The next moment, Ryo Yamada just smiled proudly, stretched out his hand and gave a thumbs up.

"Passed, two songs."

"Well...as expected of Ryo."

"Mr. Sawano said that if you have time another day, you can just come and record it."

"Great..." Kotobuki let out a long sigh of relief.

"So, in order to celebrate successfully passing the review, why don't you treat me to a cup of Xingke?"

Ryo Yamada said it matter-of-factly.

"Walk."

Chapter 288 Ichiri Goto is requested

"It's really unpleasant."

Sitting on the two-person seat next to the window of the coffee shop, Kotobuki Hikari and Yamada Ryouzai sat facing each other.

With the exception of Goto Kazuri, Kotobuki Hikaru spent very little time alone with other members of the band.

After all, ending a band is generally a collective activity, so today's meeting was just a coincidence.

Yamada Ryo used a metal fork as a knife, cut the cake in front of him, inserted the cut edge into his mouth, and sipped the cream remaining on the fork.

"Originally, I thought I could get there before the light, but I didn't expect that the light would suddenly come."

Is this the reason for the unhappiness?

Kotobuki Hikaru originally thought that Yamada Ryo would say that he was unhappy because he was scolded mercilessly in front of Sawano.

Just like when I ran over confidently to get recognition, in the end all my confidence was trampled and turned into pieces.

"I should be the one who feels that way. When I saw Ryo just after I entered the door, I was so surprised that I stayed still for a long time."

"Really? Then my goal can be considered achieved... However, I achieved it a little too early."

As if to take revenge on Kotobuki Mitsuru, Yamada Ryo picked up the cake and stuffed his mouth full.

"Hmm...the taste of half-finished product is not good."

Yamada Ryo made a dissatisfied sound.

Although it is not delicious, it is very expensive.

"There aren't many people in this place who sell handmade cakes."

Most chain stores that open in urban areas will still choose to sell semi-finished products with lower costs and better quality control.

Just like the idol groups that are currently popular in commercial packaging, current capital still prefers relatively stable products over quality.

"But selling semi-finished products more expensive than hand-made products is too much."

"It is the customers who decide whether it can be sold. It is because there are so many people willing to accept it that the market is so unscrupulous."

Kotobuki pointed at Ryo Yamada and couldn't help but complain, "So, even though you are scolding Ryo, the culprit is still you who asked for three pieces of cake in one go."

"This is nothing more than sophistry..."

Although Yamada Ryo subconsciously wanted to deny it, he could already tell from his tone that the girl's heart was beginning to waver.

"However, it is better to make cakes by hand. Although it is easier to make money with semi-finished products, the top cake shops in Ginza still insist on handwork."

"Of course."

Yamada Ryo nodded without hesitation.

"Sure enough, this is Ryo's style."

Even though he has gone through so many things, Ryo has not changed at all until now.

This is not to belittle Ryo for not knowing how to adapt. On the contrary, Kotobuki feels that he admires Ryo for still sticking to his true intentions.

"I can't finish it... Please come and help me with this piece."

After eating two pieces of cake in a row, Yamada Ryo also felt that the sweetness was a bit too sweet, so he took a sip of bitter coffee to offset the remaining sweetness in his mouth.

Then he pushed the last piece of cake in front of Kotobuki Hikaru.

"So you just throw things to me that you don't like..."

"What are you talking about? I'm just worried that I won't have enough to eat."

"I don't have to worry about this kind of thing."

However, adhering to the principle of not wasting, Kotobuki picked up the fork and silently ate the cake in front of him.

"It's really surprising that I met Ryoya today. When did you write the song? I've never mentioned it to you before."

It was still early, or Kotobuki Mitsuru didn't expect Mr. Sawano to pass his and Ryo's two songs so easily. Things were a little too smooth.

Could it be that because time is a little tight, the requirements for the music have been reduced?

But such thoughts were thrown out of Kotobuki's mind just for a moment. Guys like Sawano, like the cake chef in a Ginza dessert shop, will never tolerate flaws in order to complete the progress quickly. So it was only approved because the music met his requirements.

"I should be the one who is surprised... Ming Mingguang just wrote the new song yesterday, and it only took a few hours... I thought you would take it back and revise it carefully until you are satisfied." Come here."

"Although it is a new song that I wrote yesterday, I have chosen to finalize it. Since it has been finalized, the best thing to do is not to revise it. Even if I have new ideas and make random changes later, it will just be superfluous."

"Is this a genius?" Yamada Ryo teased. "I started writing the music a long time ago... I revised it carefully for a long time. I don't know how many versions I went through before I had the courage to let Mr. Sawano listen to it."

"Ryo should have more confidence in himself. At times like this, he should show his usual shamelessness."

"Eh... So I have such a bad image in Guang's heart?"

Yamada Ryo showed a hint of dissatisfaction.

"The only thing to blame is that you usually come across as too lazy."

"You haven't denied it yet?!"

Yamada Ryo puffed out his cheeks and looked a little angry.

"However, although Ryo usually gives off a feeling of being unmotivated, in fact you secretly work hard when we don't know about it." Kotobuki Mitsuru changed the subject and changed the topic to praising Yamada Ryo. . "Without hard work, Ryo's music wouldn't have been so easily recognized by Mr. Sawano."

A faint blush gradually spread on the girl's cheeks.

Yamada Ryo didn't say anything. He just put the straw of the coffee cup into his mouth, took a sip of the coffee, and bit the straw.

The straw was chewed into a flat shape.

"Let's just say... yes." Yamada Ryo turned his eyes aside. "Of course, I just took a little action. With my strength, it is only natural that I can pass smoothly."

"It's good to maintain such confidence, but don't be too conceited."

"After all, I can be considered your senior, senior sister or something like that. Don't talk to your seniors in such a preaching tone!"

"If you want me to treat you as a senior, you should show your sense of responsibility as a senior."

"That kind of thing is too much trouble."

The appearance of the senior only lasted on Liang's body for a moment, and then disappeared in an instant with the bulging cheeks.

"But... Speaking of which, I haven't even had a chance to listen to Ryo's music yet?"

"Let's wait until everyone is here at the live house to listen."

"Eh... Do I have to hide this? The songs I write are all released immediately for everyone to listen to."

Kotobuki Hikaru also cast a dissatisfied look.

It has been quite a while since Ryo last wrote a new song. What kind of song will Ryo write?

Is it maintaining a similar style to before?Or is it that some changes were made in order to be approved by Hiroyuki Sawano?

but......

With Ryo's character, he will definitely maintain the same style of music as before and continue to stick to himself.

"After all, if it was normal Ryo, he would definitely show off and show off the music he was satisfied with before coming here in person. It's too abnormal to come here secretly like today without even saying a word. .”

"Well......"

Yamada Ryo glanced outside the window.

In a coffee shop where there are office workers wearing suits and OL uniforms, two young boys and girls in student uniforms sit together, which is really eye-catching.

"I want to give you a surprise, and I want to see your surprise."

"I was really shocked."

"And...I can't just rely on you anymore."

"Rely on me?"

Kotobuki blinked blankly, unable to understand what Ryo meant right away.

"Everyone in the band must have this idea." Yamada Ryo said. "Since we established the band, we have relied too much on light... Whether we are composing music, producing albums, or getting commissions from animation companies, we are actually able to do it because of light."

"Eh...it has nothing to do with me, right?"

Even if there is a relationship, it all depends on the family.

He has this self-knowledge.

So I don’t feel like everything is my own fault.

“And, in the end, the band’s success is all due to everyone’s hard work.”

Kotobuki Mitsuru has said this sentence countless times.

"I think only Hikari feels this way about this kind of thing." Ryo Yamada denied Kotubuki Hikaru's words. "Whether it's Hongxia, Kita, Pochi, or I... all feel that Hikari has put in the most effort."

"Eh......"

Kotobuki Hikari blushed a little embarrassedly.

“So, even if it’s just a little bit, I want to catch up a little bit.”

That the extremely arrogant Ryo would actually say such a thing was something Kotobuki Hikaru didn't expect.

Or maybe it was just the two of them alone together, without the rest of the band, that she was able to open up.

"Didn't I just have to help my classmates in school complete their performances? That's why I worked so hard on composing music yesterday."

"Well, it is."

"You are not the only songwriter who ended the band. Although I am not as self-aware as Hikari, I can still meet Mr. Sawano's requirements if I work hard. So Hikaru doesn't need to push himself so hard. It's okay. Rely on us more.”

"Liang...Is that why you sneaked here today?"

"..."

Ryo Yamada said nothing.

But silence itself is an answer.

No words are needed to understand her thoughts.

There is already such a tacit understanding between the current band.

"Anyway, thank you." Kotobuki said.

For some reason, Kotobuki Hikaru now has a strong feeling of walking side by side with others.

"But... Ichiri obviously took the whole night to finish writing the lyrics yesterday, and today Ryo wants to make Ichiri busy again." There was a hint of worry in Kotobuki Hikaru's words.

"Eh... Speaking of which, I was quite surprised when I was in the office just now. The lyrics were already written on the music score that I just wrote last night."

Yamada Ryo just remembered this. "Well...it must have been hard for you two last night."

The girl squinted her eyes, and the smile on her cheeks was a little funny.

Kotobuki Hikaru showed a shy and embarrassed expression.

Seeing Kotobuki Hikaru's appearance, Yamada Ryo returned to his usual unruly look and smiled with a strange meaning.
