"...Is it finally finished?"

Hearing him say this, Rin also let out a sigh of relief.

Following that, she played it through in its entirety once more, and Akira did not speak again, quietly listening to this classic piece that had walked from his mind into reality.

Once the piece was finished, Rin couldn't help but exclaim again:

"What a beautiful, what a sad piece of music."

Just through the lody, it was as if she had already finished watching a heroic epic that ended in tragedy.

"By the way, does this piece have a na?"

Asked this classic question again, Akira smiled helplessly:

"It does."

"It's just that because the title involves spoilers, if you don't mind, you can call it 'Glory of the XXX'."

"Spoilers?"

Rin was a bit confused.

After so explanation from Akira, she finally understood that this piece was actually an interlude he had composed for his own manga.

And the 'XXX' in the title from earlier was likely the na of a certain character in the manga.

Furthermore, although the title contained the word 'Glory', the piece itself told more of the loneliness behind that glory, which coincided with her previous impression.

Back to the main topic.

Recalling the situation just now, a strange sense of accomplishnt unconsciously arose in Rin's heart.

Although this wasn't a piece she had composed, she felt that during the process just now, she seed to have beco a creator of this piece as well.

However...

In this process, what exactly was her role?

Avenger?

But her performance just now seed a bit different from the arrangent work she had imagined.

Of course, she hadn't actually seen how a real Avenger worked, so she had no way of guessing.

Moreover, she had just found the most suitable instruntation and timbre based on Akira's vague description, and made so appropriate adaptations that t his requirents.

Even Rin wasn't clear about her own situation, and Akira, a layman, understood it even less.

But he was very clear about one thing—

He seed to have struck gold.

In his previous life, when he had just graduated from university, he joined a company and worked as a project implenter for a period of ti.

The actual work content involved acting as a bridge between the client and the technical staff, responsible for translating the vague requirents—which didn't make a lick of sense when coming from the client—into specific functions that the technical staff could understand and handle.

Sotis he would encounter various situations like getting into shouting matches with both sides, or joining the client to berate the technicians, or joining the technicians to berate the client, or getting berated by both sides at the sa ti.

In short, it was precisely because he had this work experience that he could understand how impressive the ability Rin had just displayed was.

This was equivalent to her simultaneously taking on the latter two roles in the 'Client - Project Implentation - Technical Implentation' chain; not only could she quickly understand his requirents, but she could also imdiately translate them into results.

That's really aweso, isn't it?

Thus, he smiled and gave Rin a thumbs up:

"You've really been a huge help. I didn't expect Miss Shimizu to have such a talent."

"Is this also considered a talent?"

Rin was a bit hesitant about this, and seeing this, he smiled and nodded:

"Of course... well, at least I think it's quite an impressive ability."

"And, based on our coordination just now, it's totally at the level of debuting as a duo, right?"

"Debuting as a duo?"

Rin was slightly stunned upon hearing this, and he continued to smile:

"A musical duo. The kind where I'm responsible for writing the songs, and you're responsible for singing them."

"What do you think?"

Actually, this wasn't a spur-of-the-mont idea for him; he had been considering it for so ti.

The source of the idea was a previous casual chat he had with Rin, where when they touched upon the subject of music, he had developed thoughts about copying songs and doing ani soundtracks.

The latter was the main reason he decided to ask Rin to teach him music and to start writing this Glory of the Knight King.

As for why he wanted to form a team with Rin, on one hand, it was because as friends, he was certainly willing to help her with her dream within his capabilities.

But this was only one of the reasons for this thought.

What truly made him make this decision was a comprehensive consideration based on weighing various pros and cons.

First, his singing level was average, and he didn't like being in the spotlight, so it was basically impossible for him to beco a singer like the protagonists in entertainnt novels, writing his own songs and singing them himself.

So, even if he were to copy songs, he would only do so as a songwriter, selling the songs to other singers to perform.

But as a newcor, even if he directly submitted the songs he wrote to record companies, whether they would even be seen was a problem.

And after they were seen, how much profit he could secure as a newcor was another problem.

Of course, if he were willing to go through the trouble, he might eventually get a decent result.

But now that he had beco a serialized Manga Artist for Shonen Jump, and was also writing novels, he didn't have the ti or the inclination to go through that trouble.

Thus, he cast his gaze toward Rin.

The reason she wanted to beco a singer-songwriter was that she didn't want to be under too much constraint, and on this point, their wishes aligned.

At the sa ti, Rin herself wasn't good at composing songs, nor did she have a very strong desire to create; she simply liked and wanted to sing, and her specialty lay there as well.

And on this point, their abilities were complentary.

On his side, he could directly provide songs for her to sing and leave all other miscellaneous matters for her to handle, without having to go through the trouble himself, and he could still make money;

And on Rin's side, with him making up for the ability in the creative aspect, she could strive to debut with the sa treatnt as a singer-songwriter as a duo, which could also be considered realizing her dream;

Considering the above situation, debuting as a duo could be said to be a complete win-win situation for them.

And the reason he suddenly started writing Glory of the Knight King was also to first prove his ability to her with this song, before proposing the idea of a duo.

However, what he didn't expect was that she would now give him a huge surprise.

As a layman in the field of music, when he was transcribing Glory of the Knight King, he imdiately realized that wanting to reproduce the songs in his mind into reality was actually not that simple.

The most obvious main lody was fine, but for so complex detail processing, whether it was reproducing or adapting it himself, it would require a long ti of study to be able to do it.

Furthermore, this wasn't sothing that could be done just by using absolute mory to read through all the theoretical books and morizing the knowledge in his brain.

But Rin was just like an AI, replacing this complex process with her own ability, able to accurately grasp his vague requirents and quickly implent them.

And this matter also made him firr in his idea of forming a team.

At least for him, Rin was truly a rare talent!

However, this was just his side of the thought; next, it would depend on what Rin thought.
