"Okay, then I will connect the music and play it to the end, and you will sing it from beginning to end."
Chi Feichi said and started playing the music again.
Haiyuan Ai sang the lyrics one by one, thinking about whether he had made a mistake the whole time, and didn't have the time to pay too much attention.
Okiya Subaru heard something different. He sat on the sofa, lowered his head and was silent and distracted.
Chi Feichi waited for Huiyuan Ai to finish singing, and then said, "Get familiar with it one last time, and then take a break at noon."
Hui Yuan Ai breathed a sigh of relief, listened to the intro played by Chi Feichi, and started to sing along.
Perhaps it was because he had sung once before and was no longer unfamiliar with the song, or perhaps because he was about to take a break. Haihara Ai felt much more relaxed than before. He no longer paid too much attention to the singing skills and details, and put some thoughts into the song itself.
"There will never be a way to go, there will never be an escape. I only hope that the birds in the sky will take away this sadness..."
"This is the narrow space between life and death, the eternity that binds me. Traveling to and from the mortal world is just a dream..."
"This is the narrow space between life and death, the eternity that weaves the world. Traveling to and from the world of mortals, there are only a few wisps of breeze left. Pause for a moment, and let me shed tears for myself..."
Okiya Subaru looked at the brother and sister in front of the piano, his expression more focused than before. He squinted under his glasses, but he didn't pay too much attention to real things, and he was really distracted.
The time he listened to it just now, he just felt that the lyrics of 'No Escape' and 'The Narrow Between Life and Death' should make Shirley, whose body became smaller and temporarily escape the pursuit, but could not completely escape the pursuit, feel more emotional.
After listening to it this time, he couldn't help but imagine a scene - a little girl standing on the desolate land, with withered grass and leaves, alone, with a mature and calm look on her immature face that didn't match her age. When she raised her eyes to the sky, her eyes There is a numbness in it that has seen too many crimes, and there is also a trace of sadness that even I can't detect.
Softness and coldness, sentimentality and numbness merge at this moment, creating a special and harmonious beauty.
He was worried that when watching cartoons in the future, as soon as he heard this song, he would think of this scene, and then his thoughts would no longer be able to return to the cartoon content...
The piano sound stopped, and Haiyuan Ai looked at the black and white keys on the piano, unable to regain consciousness for a long time.
Listening to the melody and singing this song slowly, she would think of the organization's pursuit, the death of her sister, and the fact that she could only hide in the gap between life and death. She felt a little sentimental and desolate in her heart, but Brother Chi said, She needs to make her singing sound calm and steady. She can stay calm and remember that her current task is to sing the song well, so she can finish the song steadily.
She was both proud of her calmness, but also hated it, so much so that she felt a little stuffy in her heart.
Chi Feichi reached out and turned off the recording equipment, and said sadly to Haiyuan, "It sounds good this time. I will send the recording to the company after dinner and let someone handle the post-production and add the soundtrack. If possible, this song The song is complete.”
Hui Yuan Ai came back to her senses, went over Chi Fei Chi's words in her mind, and reminded her sternly, "Many band lead singers have to practice a new song hundreds of times before singing it, and artists who are preparing to release new songs also need to After repeated practice, I only sang the whole song twice, is it too hasty?"
"If you feel uneasy, you can record a few more versions and then choose the best one." Chi Feichi stood up from the piano, "However, I think what I sang just now is already very good. You may not be able to sing it in the future." It’s in such good shape.”
"I also think Xiao Ai sang very well just now," Nanatsuki Yuesui lowered his eyes and thought, "I don't know if it's my misunderstanding. The song sounds so gentle and calm, but I heard a sense of depression in it, wanting to achieve This kind of effect shouldn’t be easy…”
"The singer needs to sing calmly and steadily, and he is also suppressing his own emotions, so the song is a little depressed," Chi Feichi explained to Koshizu Nanatsuki, "That is not what the singer or the song expresses. Depression is the depression that naturally arises in the hearts of listeners when they listen.”
Haibara Ai:"……"
In other words, the depression and frustration in her heart when she sang were all expected by Brother Chi? Didn't Brother Chi realize that her calmness could be exploited?
"Xiao Ai is the kind of character who is easy to calm down. She is usually self-disciplined and restrained. Whether I ask her to dub Yama Ai or let her sing this song, I can give full play to her advantages and achieve the effect I want. …”
Chi Feichi followed up by saying something that left Hui Yuan Ai speechless in his heart, "Sure enough," and then said, "However, I am also worried that Xiao Ai will be affected and unable to eliminate the psychological depression. I didn't want to think much about it before." She voices and sings.”
Haiyuan Ai thought of Chi Feichi's attitude of disapproving of her dubbing at the beginning, and then changed her mind, "When I sang, I felt a little depressed, but now that the song is finished, I feel a little depressed." Of course the feeling is gone, and I’m not easily affected..."
The four of them didn't chat for a while before the lunch ordered by Koshimizu Nanatsuki was delivered outside the door.
After lunch, Chi Feichi sent the recording to the company. He and Haihara Ai read the examination report from the hospital. After resting for an hour, he sat back in front of the piano and continued practicing the second song with Haihara Ai.
The afternoon practice was not as smooth as the morning.
Haiyuan Ai also sang the words accurately and familiarly first, and then sang the whole song together. Although he could sing the notes accurately, it was difficult to get into it and couldn't get into the "human and music combined" style in the morning. After practicing it several times, due to mental fatigue, the more I sang, the more dissatisfied I felt.
Seeing that Haiyuan Ai was not in good condition, Chi Fei announced the end of today's practice and let Haiyuan Ai have a good rest.
Haibara Ai finally understood how rare her state was in the morning. After listening to the songs that were post-produced by the company, she decided to use the version of "Rough Sewing" that she had recorded in the morning, and no longer bothered to record and sing it again.
Subaru Okiya stayed until the evening and had a meal of Chinese home-cooked food before saying goodbye. Before leaving, he suggested that Ike Feichi and Koshizu Nanatsuki stay at Dr. Agasa's house that night.
Haiyuan Ai originally thought that Chi Feichi would not agree, but Chi Feichi decided to stay where he was without thinking.
Chi Feichi's reason is simple and irrefutable - I'm tired and don't want to run around!
…
The next morning, Dr. Agasa, who was supposed to lead the team back, called and said that he had encountered an incident in Yamanashi Prefecture. If the matter could not be resolved by the afternoon, he might not be able to come back until night.
"Yes...you guys don't have to worry. You must pay attention to safety when driving at night. If it doesn't work, just stay there for one more night. If the accommodation fee is not enough, I can transfer it to you through the Internet. Just treat it as my advance payment." Advance payment...is that right? Since Edogawa is confident, let him resolve the matter as soon as possible...is it Brother Chi? "
Haibara Ai held the landline receiver in her right hand, turned to look at Chi Feichi's back sitting on the sofa, and said to Dr. Ali on the other end, "Yes, he and Sister Nanatsuki are still here... His physical examination Everything is normal, but I still feel a little down... Specialty? You decide for yourself... We will wait for you to come back."
The phone hangs up.
Haiyuan Ai tiptoed to put the receiver back, turned around and walked to the sofa.
Koshizui Nanatsuki sat sideways on the sofa, holding a white cat bag puppet in his right hand. Facing Chi Feichi, he moved the fingers of his right hand to make the white cat bag puppet bow and wave, in a coaxing tone. He said, "Look, the kitten is saying hello to you. It says to you, good morning, the weather is so nice today..."
Haibara Ai:"……"
Sister Nanatsuki will definitely be good at coaxing children in the future, but...
「▼▽▼」
She asked Sister Nanatsuki to test Brother Fei Chi's concentration. Why did it become like this?
Chi Feichi stared at the bag puppet on Koshizu Nanatsuki's right hand and remained expressionless and silent.
The origin of the matter starts from this morning.
On this morning of midsummer, he woke up very early. Even though his desire to stay in bed was stronger than the day before, he was still defeated by his unwillingness to be controlled and his habit of being unhappy and unable to take time off.
It's just that the 'trance' symptoms he had appeared yesterday did not ease with a night's rest, but instead became serious.
While washing, he got distracted after brushing his teeth. He was lost for about three seconds before Fei Chi called him back to his senses.
Then it's time to make breakfast.
He got up more than ten minutes earlier than Yueshui and Xiaoai. While the two girls were washing up, he wanted to cook three bowls of noodles for breakfast. However, when the water was almost boiling, he became distracted again. After the water boiled, he got up more than ten minutes earlier than Yueshui and Xiaoai. , he neither cooked the soup nor the noodles.
When he came to his senses, Yueshui and Xiaoai were already standing in front of him.
That experience was wonderful. He didn't feel the passage of time. He seemed to just blink. The water in the pot was already boiling and bubbling. Yueshui and Xiao Ai, who were supposed to be in the bathroom, suddenly appeared in front of him. .
Because of this, Yueshui and Xiaoai didn't dare let him make breakfast.
But during breakfast, while reading the newspaper, he got distracted again.
Yueshui and Xiaoai thought he was concentrating on reading the newspaper and did not disturb him. As a result, he was distracted for a long time, lasting nearly three minutes.
Finally, it was two girls who noticed that he had been staring at the same page of the newspaper and called him twice in succession that brought him back to his senses.
As time went on, the influence of the 'sin of laziness' on him seemed to become stronger and stronger.
Today, the duration and frequency of his trances and wanderings are much greater than yesterday. This kind of trances and wanderings is more like the brain's own "lazy" and begins to enter a state of light sleep regardless of time or occasion.
In short, Yueshui and Xiao Ai wanted to confirm his situation after discovering that he would suddenly lose concentration.
Before it started, the landline in the house rang. Xiao Ai went to answer the phone, leaving Yueshui alone. He looked around, took a bag puppet from the corner of the sofa, and then started a series of childish and strange things. operation...
(￣-￣“)
What on earth does Yueshui want to do...
If he doesn't cooperate, I wonder if Yueshui will be disappointed or angry...
After much deliberation, he decided to cooperate and treat himself as a temporary training partner for Yueshui to practice his 'telling stories to children' skill.
Koshimizu Nanatsuki waved to Chi Feichi again and again with a kitten bag puppet, and he was very involved in playing. "The sun is so warm outside, should we go to the park to play?"
Haibara Ai looked at Yuesui Nanatsuki's interested expression, then moved his eyes towards Chi Feichi, and found that Chi Feichi was staring at the bag puppet very seriously and devotedly, raising his hand to his forehead.
Regardless of whether Sister Nanatsuki's behavior is childish or not, Brother Fei Chi really looks like a well-behaved and focused child at the moment...
So, something must be wrong with the world today, right?
