In music anime, band girls won't be alone.

Then I received a negative answer.

Now the audience understood that the match was over.

After all, a prize of 10,000 yen is hardly attractive to a band.

Besides the competition itself, the most talked-about contestant, Yawata Kairin, will also not continue to participate, which means that the competition has come to a complete end.

But this is only the fifth day of the competition.

There are still two days left.

Ijichi Seika realized this and immediately offered a 2000 yen refund to anyone who purchased a special ticket for the competition but did not wish to attend for the next two days.

The audience was satisfied with the solution and immediately began processing refunds.

After helping Ijichi Hoshika process the ticket refund, Shirakawa Sawa bid her farewell and then headed to his newly acquired large house.

This house is located in a relatively large residential area. There are dozens of similar detached houses in this area, each a few meters apart.

Among all these detached houses, Shirakawa Sawa's house is not particularly eye-catching.

With the notification sound of "fingerprint verification successful," he opened the door and went inside.

Because of the courtyard, the main building of the house occupies an area of ​​approximately 230 square meters.

The yard is enclosed by a wall, and there is a parking space inside that can be sheltered from the rain.

Upon opening the main building's doors, one is greeted by a traditional sunken entryway, upon which rests a pair of new slippers.

Shirakawa changed his shoes, walked through the entryway, and entered the living room, where he saw that there were basically all kinds of furniture and decorations, such as a sofa, coffee table, bathtub, and TV.

The facilities in the kitchen, dining room, and bathroom are also very comprehensive.

Property ownership certificates, land deeds, and other documents are all placed on the table in the living room.

The second and third floors each have two bedrooms, one bathroom, and one shower room, plus two spare rooms.

Furthermore, both bedrooms on the second and third floors are connected to a balcony.

After viewing the house, Shirakawa was generally satisfied.

After all, in this location, with his current savings, he could probably only buy half of this house.

With a slightly relieved sigh, Shirakawa put the documents on the table into his briefcase and returned to his current residence.

He planned to tell Takamatsu Akari and Nagasaki Motoyo about his move when they went out together over the weekend, and then move in next Tuesday when he returned.

After all, this kind of thing shouldn't seem too abrupt.

After locking up all the supporting documents, Shirakawa checked the time and saw it was already past six in the afternoon. So he cooked a meal, ate, and then went out to RiNG.

He was going to check on Shiina Tatsuki's condition to see if it was really as serious as the two of them had said yesterday.

Volume 1: Chapter 193 The Distance Grows Greater and Greater

Upon arriving at the second floor of RiNG, Shirakawa Sawa saw Shiina Tatsuki standing behind the counter, wiping cups while humming a song, looking like she was in a good mood.

He walked over and greeted them as he went.

"Good evening, Lixi."

After sitting down at the counter, he continued speaking.

"Could I have a glass of orange juice, please?"

Shiina Tatsuki nodded and gave a soft "hmm," which served as a greeting and also indicated that he had heard his order.

After a while, she placed a glass of orange juice in front of the boy, then turned around and went back behind the counter.

After a moment of silence, Shiina Tatsuki started the conversation.

"Ze-jun, when would you like me to play a piece?"

Shirakawa Sawa had almost forgotten about the matter, and just as he was about to use delaying tactics, he suddenly remembered something and spoke up.

"Li Xi studied with Senior Liang for ten lessons, right?"

Shiina Riki nodded.

Shirakawa Sawa continued.

"The agreement I made with Senior Ryo was that each completed lesson would be equivalent to paying off a debt of two thousand yen."

"Ten class hours, that's 20,000 yen."

"I have a composition roster on hand right now, I wonder if Lixi would be interested?"

"If you complete the task, the 20,000 yen will be deducted from your payment."

Shiina Tatsuki did not immediately agree.

"I'd like to know the requirements for composing first."

Shirakawa Sawa opened his phone's photo album, clicked on the lyrics to the song he had previously wanted to entrust to Toyokawa Shoko, and then handed it to the girl in front of him.

"The requirement is that it is suitable for the band to play. Everything else is up to your understanding. As long as the client is satisfied after completion, that's fine."

"The reward is 200,000 yen, with no time limit."

He knew he couldn't impose a time limit on the person in front of him, otherwise the other party would definitely put a lot of pressure on him.

Another point is that the other party does not have an urgent need for money.

Shiina Tatsuki carefully read through the lyrics, then looked up at the other person with a hint of doubt in her eyes.

"Is being suitable for a band to play the only requirement?"

"There's no time limit either?"

Shirakawa Ze nodded.

"Yes, if Lixi is willing, I will send you the lyrics."

Shiina Tatsuki nodded, indicating that she was willing.

She wasn't sure she could satisfy the client, but she could use this opportunity to practice.

After nodding, she immediately remembered something, and a hint of apology appeared in her eyes.

"Ze-jun, if the band has any new composition assignments, I might prioritize completing the ones already assigned to the band..."

Shirakawa Ze smiled and agreed.

"From a personal point of view, I would also like you to feel the same way."

"There's no need to rush this song, just take your time."

Shiina Tatsuki nodded, handed the phone to the other person, and whispered "Thank you."

After chatting for a while, Shirakawa Sawa left RiNG.

As he stepped outside, he sent the same message to Takamatsu Akari and Nagasaki Motoyo, with a hint of doubt.

“I just chatted with Lixi at RiNG for a while, and she seems to be fine.”

After seeing the message, Takamatsu Akari immediately sent a message to Nagasaki Motoyo.

“Su Shi, Ze Jun said that Li Xi seems to be fine.”

Nagasaki Motoyo had already devised a plan.

"Deng-chan, I think it might be because of Ze-kun."

"Because Ze Jun communicates with us in a different way, Li Xi is more likely to behave normally when she talks to him."

Gao Songdeng felt that this was indeed a possibility and immediately pressed for more information.

"Does Su Shi have any suggestions now?"

Nagasaki Motoyo waited two minutes before replying.

"I think Ze Jun can encourage Li Xi to express herself, and she will gradually recover completely."

Gao Songdeng thought for a moment, feeling a little hesitant.

"If Ze Jun were to visit Li Xi frequently, it would be quite a nuisance for him, since he also has his own things to do."

Nagasaki Motoyo herself didn't intend to finalize the matter anytime soon, as that would make her intentions too obvious.

So he replied,

"Dengjiang is right."

Let's think about it again.

……

After sending the message, Shirakawa went to his residence.

As he walked, he remembered that he was moving next week, so he went to a nearby supermarket to buy a fruit gift box, then went to his landlord's door and rang the doorbell.

After a while, the door slowly opened, and behind it was the landlord leaning on a cane.

Upon seeing that it was Shirakawa Ze, the latter smiled and opened the door, stepping aside as he did so.

"It's Ozawa."

"come on in."

Shirakawa followed the landlord into the living room, put the gift box aside, and then looked at the landlord.

"Grandma, I've come here today to tell you something."

The landlord gestured for him to sit down and then went to pour him some water.

Shirakawa walked to her side, took her arm, and at the same time stopped her from getting water.

"No need to trouble yourself, Grandma. I'll be leaving now."

The landlord nodded with a smile, then turned to look at him.

Looking at the other person's smiling face, Shirakawa felt a little uncomfortable, after all, he had indeed received a lot of care from them during the months he had lived here.

He paused for a moment, then spoke softly.

"Grandma, I'm planning to move out next week."
