Ningzi put all the small pieces of sheet music into the bottom of her desk and then began to study the sheet music seriously.

"Oh, that's interesting. I can put this section here, this one in a higher key, this one in a lower key, and all the notes in this section reversed..."

Modifying something that's already dead...that's really interesting.

"After class, go to the practice room to try it out and see how well the piano sounds."

Ningzi firmly believes that the primary standard for judging the quality of a piece of music is always one's own illusion.

As long as the piano girl in my hallucination doesn't make any strange noises, then it's a good piece of music.

This is a lesson I've learned from playing the piano for so long.

The more delicate the piano sounds, the more captivating its voice, the more outstanding the song becomes.

After all, even professionals like Hailing acknowledged her performance of "Playing with Haitong".

Will it be a piano lamp or a piano bell today?

I'm kind of looking forward to it...

Interlude. Everyone, another day has passed.

"Xiao Ning, what is this?"

Throughout the entire class, Ningzi only touched Deng's hair at the very beginning; otherwise, she didn't touch it at all.

This caused great panic among Gao Songdeng.

If a guy who always liked to touch you suddenly stops, there's only one possibility.

Could it be that I didn't wash my hair properly yesterday? Is Xiaoning... disgusted with me?

Deng scratched his penguin head, and after class, he turned around, feeling embarrassed, wanting to apologize.

I'm really sorry that I couldn't let Ningzi-sama have enough fun.

The noise in the classroom gradually increased as the first class of the morning ended. Deng noticed that Ningzi ignored the noise of her classmates and continued to sit in her seat writing furiously.

Blue strands of hair fell down, obscuring Ningzi's vision, but Toyokawa Ningzi was completely unaware.

So you were focused on what you were doing, which is why you didn't play with my hair?

Looks like my carefully maintained hair from last night wasn't disliked... right?

"Ah, Little Lamp, I'm composing a new piece of music, what's up?"

Ningzi discovered that sheet music is really complicated and difficult to understand.

A two-minute crash course is really unrealistic, especially when faced with these strange symbols and unexpected markings.

Therefore, when she modified "Spring Shadow", Ningzi chose to use the manipulation techniques she learned in "Playful Sea" to embellish it, turning the score into a collection of riddles that only she could fully understand.

"Oh... Xiao Ning actually got inspiration so quickly?"

The lamp leaned down and looked at Ningzi, who was still engrossed in her work, with innocent eyes.

That's wonderful! Xiao Ning's talent shines as brightly as ever. Although she is only a first-year high school student, her talent has already surpassed that of many adults.

Is it a bit presumptuous of me, a talentless idiot who only knows how to work hard, to stand next to Ningzi?

Maybe one day I should leave on my own initiative.

Me...

"Inspiration? Hmm, it's all thanks to Xiaodeng, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to write it so quickly."

Ningzi wrote annotations such as "dig at the same time," "be careful," and "squeeze hard" on the sheet music to enhance her experience when she tried to play the piece later.

"What...because of me?!"

Is it because of the lyrics I wrote for Ningzi?

Could those things really inspire Toyokawa Neko?

The lamp was somewhat flattered, which quickly dispelled the slight discomfort that had just begun to sprout within her, and even improved her mood considerably.

"Oh right, but I'm not feeling well, so I'll go to the infirmary first. Deng, could you ask the teacher for leave for me?"

Ningzi grabbed her notebook and hurriedly ran to the music room.

She couldn't wait to hear what Kasuga Kage's Corpse Variations would sound like when played by piano virtuoso Takamatsu.

"Ah? Little... Ning..."

Takamatsu Akari wanted to say a few more words, but by then Ningzi had already walked quite far away. Akari's arm was frozen in the air, and for a moment she didn't know whether she should pull it back or continue in this position.

"Are you in such a hurry? You even brought the sheet music you just wrote to the infirmary."

However, if I'm not mistaken, the laptop Ningzi has been using is the one I gave away before.

"That's great! I really want to know what Xiao Ning wrote in the notebook I gave her."

Will it be class notes, or a diary? Maybe I'll use it to record little inspirations from my daily life?

The thought of how much Ningzi cared about the notebook he had given her warmed Gao Songdeng's heart.

"Xiao Ning, you're so gentle..."

……

“Ningzi…Little Ning…”

“I said, you should get up, it’s lunchtime.”

Yawata Kairin tapped on Shiina Tatsuki's desk, trying to wake the guy who had been sleeping all morning.

"Ah! Oh... I'm in the classroom?"

"You don't seem very clear-headed. Have you been under a lot of pressure lately? I've noticed you've been sleeping in class the whole time."

Hailin pinched her chin and looked at Shiina Tatsuki with a teasing and curious gaze.

Her hair wasn't combed properly, her dark circles were so heavy it looked like she had a layer of black paint on her eyes, and her complexion was terrible.

Is Shiina Tatsuki working a part-time job at night?

It gives the impression that Lixi is going astray.

"Um…"

"If you're not feeling well, take a day off and go home to rest. Don't push yourself."

Having said all she needed to say, Hachiman Kairin felt she had done everything a friend should do, and she left Riki's seat and walked out of the classroom.

Watching Hachiman Kairin's retreating figure, Riki was at a loss for what to do.

Do I want to go to school? Not at all.

At school... I can't concentrate, and at home I can't rest peacefully.

Lixi loosened his grip on her hand, which had been tightly clenched, revealing a complete red mark on her palm from the necklace Ningzi had given her.

When the fresh air returned to her palm, Lixi felt a cool breeze. After waking up, she did not choose to have lunch like the other students, but instead sat alone in her seat, staring blankly at the necklace.

"The pet necklace that Ningzi gave me."

All night yesterday, Lixi sat at her desk staring blankly at the necklace in her hand.

【Togawa Neko】

Those few words, though few in number, gripped Lixi's heart like a giant hand.

I probably didn't feel much at the time, but thinking about it now...

Giving someone a pet necklace as a gift is indeed a bit too shameful and audacious.

"Ningzi is a good girl. She gave me a gift out of kindness. Am I being too dirty by thinking about other things?"

Lixi, Lixi, don't judge others based on your own impurities.

You are despicable right now.

"What's wrong? Is something on your mind?"

Having also taken a nap all morning, Misaka Hatsuka walked from the back of the classroom, yawning. As she passed Riki, she playfully winked at her.

"Wow, what an adorable pet necklace! Does Lixi's family have a dog? I have a friend who really loves dogs and cats."

"Huh? Uh, no, a friend bought too many and gave me one as a gift... Don't misunderstand."

Lixi jumped up from her seat; she simply couldn't stand hearing others discuss anything related to the necklace.

It feels like someone wants to tear Li Xi apart to see how much shameful filth is hidden inside her.

"I'm going to have lunch first. You should go grab something to eat too. See you later, Triangle."

"Okay, see you later."

Lixi clutched the necklace and left without looking back, her steps hurried, her figure quickly disappearing around the corner.

"That's interesting, what does it say on that necklace?"

Sanko Chuka pondered the discovery, which was only made in a moment.

"Togawa? Toyokawa?"

...... ...... ......

Volume 2 Disenchanted

Ch82. The Piano: Never in Tune

Haneoka Girls' Academy, Brass Band Rehearsal Room.

pat-

Ningzi peeked in cautiously and then, seeing no one around, closed the door indifferently.

"As expected, the kind of kids who skip class to play music that my sister said are still a minority. I thought I would have some kind of adventure here."

Let's save the good stuff for those poor, silly kids.

For example, Shiina Tatsuki.

Toyokawa Ningko just wanted to live a quiet and peaceful daily life.

and many more…

Ningzi tilted her head and suddenly realized something.

The kid my sister was talking about who skipped school to play music, it seems like it was me?

No way! Oh well, what's done is done, let's play the piano!

"It would be so much fun to pop it out."

"Using something that someone else cherishes as soil to cultivate malicious flowers... how evil that is."

Surprisingly, Toyokawa Ningko was not averse to it; in fact, her body and soul seemed to be stirring with desire.

That's why she rushed here; she really couldn't wait to see the piano lamp and hear the sound it made under the sheet music of the magical version of "Spring Shadows".

I really, really want to hear this kind of thing (crying). I had ears for this! (sobs)

Ningzi closed her eyes, groped her way to the piano in the dark, lifted the piano lid, and silently prayed for the arrival of the piano lamp rather than the piano bell.

"It has to be a lamp...it has to be a lamp..."

If it were anyone else, all of today's efforts and expectations would have been in vain!

Ningzi slowly opened her eyes, and her expression changed.

Her initial expectations and hopes crumbled in an instant, and displeasure began to gather between her brows, as if she had seen something that would pollute her eyes.

Ningzi wanted to close the piano lid, but when she touched it, she touched another pair of small hands.

"You... stay away from me, I don't want to play you at all."

Piano Su Shi blinked innocently and shyly showed off her headlights.

"Xiao Ning...feel it, I've been taking care of myself, really, please, flick me, I'll do anything! Watashi..."

"Go away from me! I hate you!"

Ningzi picked up the notebook and strode towards the door.

The incessant pleas behind her made Ningzi feel nauseous. Just thinking about a shameless old woman lying there without any restraint made Ningzi feel dizzy.
