But those who have strong resentment after death and have not dissipated will lose the way to reincarnation. Wandering in the world day after day, waiting for that great savior who can resolve their resentment.

Behind each resentment copy, there is a different life.

According to rumors, the gate of the No.4 Middle School is facing the crematorium’s closed door, and the haunting rate and enrollment rate are the highest in the city.

Students from as far as 800 miles away were afraid of such a well-known magical institution, but with the arrival of an equally magical transfer student, a delicate balance had been upset—

The strange things that happen every night of the full moon, the strange and rigid school motto, the old cases left more than ten years ago… What is the source and truth behind all these supernatural events?

“It doesn’t matter what it is,” said Bian Shengjian, frowning, “just tell me, what exactly are you?”

Lu Shen was silent for a while, then raised his head and stared at him: “First, I’m not a thing.”

On Qin Qingzhuo’s twenty-ninth birthday, his friends in the circle organized a small birthday party for him. Outside the window, the sound of rain was pattering. Someone raised a glass to offer their blessings, expressing the hope that Teacher Qin would encounter a passionate and lasting romance before turning thirty.

Someone nearby added, jokingly suggesting it would be best if he were liked by a handsome young man—eighteen would be too young, but nineteen would be just right. This playful remark elicited laughter from everyone present.

As glasses clinked and red wine flowed, Qin Qingzhuo, in a slightly intoxicated state, found himself thinking about a pair of eyes. He wondered if there really was such a young man.

Meanwhile, that young man was eagerly awaiting his response, hoping to meet him on this rainy night.

The background involves a variety show featuring a band, with a mix of a rebellious and sharp musician as the gong and a gentle and mature mentor as the shou.

I didn’t think I would be found out since my face wasn’t shown, but my high school music teacher – Hanazono Misao – discovered my secret and used that information to blackmail me.

And then, thanks to the three girls I met through Hanazono-sensei – the mad genius pianist Rinko, the flower-arranging princess drummer Shizuki, and the truant zashiki-warashi vocalist Akane – my bland and quiet grey high school life became full of colorful noise and trouble.

His hobby is to repair things, and has developed quite a good skill towards it.... more>>

One day, while going to his "secret" scrapyard to gather some spare parts, he saw a girl playing an abandoned piano there. Somehow, the music had caused the junks to resonate, creating an illusion of a junkyard symphony. He was mesmerized by the familiar sounding melody, but he could not remember the tune. Just then, the girl noticed him, and called him a pe*vert/stalker. She then requested him to forget about the incident.

Back at home, Naomi realized that she is the piano prodigy Mafuyu Ebisawa, who had vanished from the music scene for some unknown reason. He met her soon again, with Mafuyu as the transfer student of his class. She declared to the class that there is no need to know her too well, since she will be gone soon. She had even snatched away an abandoned music shed that he had customized for his own personal use, in order to play her guitar. Not liking her cold personality and her sharp tongue, Naomi vowed to take back the music shed from her.

Somehow, things became such that he was roped in by a senior, Kyouko Kagurazawa, and childhood friend Chiaki Aihara, to start a music band. His mission was to get Mafuyu, the required forth member, into the band. However, he soon realized the shocking truth behind Mafuyu's reason for disappearing from the piano scene and playing the guitar.

When they first met, Qin Yiyu saw Nan Yi holding a liquor bottle from the doorway, and thought he was there to collect debts.... more>>

But he actually said: “I’m forming a band, to participate in a competition. We’re missing a lead vocalist who can play guitar.”

Qin Yiyu: Oh, it would be better if he came to collect debts.

He agreed in the end, because he didn’t want to give up such a talented bassist.

— Later —

Nan Yi: Qin Yiyu is my target.

Qin Yiyu: (bulb lighting up) likes me.

Nan Yi: We can be friends.

Qin Yiyu: Understood, lip service friendship1. I don’t mind kissing you even though I’m a straight man.

Nan Yi: (inhale)

Qin Yiyu: He really loves me.

—-—

During the competition, no one had high hopes for this new band. Even the staff was talking about it backstage.

“The bassist sure is handsome, but you can’t rely on looks to eat. The drummer is said to have a temper so bad that he’s almost beaten people up. The keyboardist seems to be a bank employee who was fired. Coupled with a popular lead vocalist with a terrible personality who had been kicked out of his previous band, how can this kind of makeshift band win?”

Yet the four of them were right behind them.

Yan Ji: “Get it right, I wasn’t fired but resigned voluntarily, and it was an investment bank, not a bank.”

Chi Zhiyang: “What crap are you spewing! How is my temper bad!”

Qin Yiyu: “In such a long sentence, only the first four words are worth hearing. A person as perfect as myself, the only people who can insult me are either my close friends, or the reincarnation of the violin— a worthless thing.”

Staff: (embarrassed) (cold sweat) (speechless)

Nan Yi said coldly: “Excuse me, the grassroot band is about to go on stage.”
