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

"Because it's the end of the month."

The landlord's smile vanished instantly. He reached out and took the boy's hand, his eyes filled with reluctance.

Why are you suddenly moving away?

"Is the house uncomfortable?"

Shirakawa's expression also showed a hint of reluctance.

"The house is very comfortable."

“Grandma has always taken good care of me, and I am very touched and grateful to her.”

"The reason I moved out is because I now have my own house and my own home."

"You should be able to understand how I feel right now."

The landlord fell silent and sighed softly.

She had heard people talk about Shirakawa Ze's background and knew that he lost his parents when he was very young and grew up in an orphanage. She naturally understood his longing for a home of his own.

The landlord sighed again and patted his hand.

When is Xiaoze planning to move out?

Shirakawa Sawa did not hide anything.

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

The landlord nodded, indicating that he understood.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Shirakawa Ze left.

After watching the boy leave, the landlord turned and went into the living room, sat on the sofa, and thought about what to give him next Tuesday to express his best wishes.

After thinking for a while, she had an idea. She got up, grabbed a pair of scissors, went out into the yard, looked around, and then cut off some flowers and leaves to make a dried flower ornament.

She first washed it with water, then clipped it up with a clip, ready to hang it to dry.

Just then, she heard the door open, turned her head and saw that it was Toyokawa Shoko who had come in, so she greeted her.

"Xiao Xiang is back?"

Toyokawa Shoko smiled, responded, and then walked to her side.

"Does Grandma want to hang these up to dry? Let me help you."

The landlord smiled and nodded, then stepped aside.

"Yes, Xiaoze is moving away. I plan to dry these and make them into a decorative item to give to him as a keepsake."

Toyokawa Shoko's hand holding the flowers trembled slightly, but she tried her best to remain calm on the surface.

After hanging the flowers and leaves to dry, she helped the landlord back to the living room, then turned and hurried upstairs...

Volume 1: Chapter 194 Chu Hua, Let Me Forget Everything

After entering her room, Toyokawa Shoko locked the door from the inside, then collapsed heavily onto the bed as if she had fallen asleep.

“Ze…”

She murmured softly, then took out her work phone from her pocket and began looking through Bai Chuanze's past chat logs. The more she read, the redder her eyes became.

"Ze, I'm sorry, I hurt you."

"But I really can't tell you."

"I haven't proven myself yet, I haven't been reinstated..."

"It's all my fault, I can't help but want to rely on you..."

"Hate me all you want..."

She let the tears blur her vision, slide down her cheeks, and soak the bedding.

After calming down, she wiped away her tears, sat up straight, took out her personal cell phone from her bag, and dialed Sanjiao Chuhua's number.

"Xiao Xiang?"

After the call connected, a surprised voice came through the receiver.

However, at this moment, Toyokawa Shoko had no intention of caring about the other person's emotions, and spoke with a slightly choked voice.

"Please, Chu Hua..."

Please let me forget everything.

Upon hearing the tearful voice and the content of the call, Mikasa's expression instantly turned serious. A strong sense of urgency welled up within her due to the unexpected turn of events, but she didn't show it, only inquiring with slight concern.

"Xiao Xiang, is there anything I can do for you?"

Toyokawa Shoko continued,

"Do you have time to meet tomorrow? I'd like to talk to you in person."

The triangular buds are naturally highly sought after.

"If you have time, where would you like to meet, Xiao Xiang?"

Toyokawa Shoko had no time to think about these questions.

"I'll trouble Chuhua to make the order. Just send me the time and location."

I won't bother you any longer, see you tomorrow.

--"See you tomorrow."

After hanging up the phone, Toyokawa Shoko took a file folder out of her bag. Inside the folder was a stack of A4 papers, each covered with text.

She took the stack of papers to her desk, carefully read them from beginning to end, then took out a pen, crossed out the original title, and wrote next to it—【Face and Numbers】.

Then they crossed out the "[Proposed Date...]" below the title and changed it to "[Fastest Debut]".

Then she started revising some parts of the content...

……

The following afternoon, Mikasa Hatsuka put on sunglasses, walked out of the recording studio, hailed a taxi, and headed to the meeting place she had arranged with Toyokawa Shoko—the Sunshine Building.

After getting off the bus, she checked the time on her phone and saw that it was just past 3 p.m., so she sent the latter a message.

"Xiao Xiang, I just finished recording today."

"Xiao Xiang will probably be out of school a little later, right? I'll go to the planetarium to see a show first, and then I'll wait for you on the rooftop."

After sending the message, she put away her phone, walked into the building, and her steps were light.

Looking at the simulated starry sky, she unconsciously recalled the time when she and Toyokawa Shoko lay on the grass and looked at the stars.

When she was little, she looked forward to summer the most.

Every summer, the large house on the edge of the island, which is usually uninhabited, attracts vacationers.

Shoko Toyokawa was among them.

She never imagined that the two of them could become friends.

I never imagined they could play together, share things, and lie on the grass together watching the stars.

At that time, she felt like the happiest child on the entire island.

As time passed, her thoughts began to replay the events from when she applied for the talent audition until now, and a deep sense of exhaustion welled up inside her.

Although she was exhausted, she never thought of giving up.

This is because it was the process that enabled her to transform from a small island native to a popular idol.

It also gave her the mental support to stand more confidently in front of Toyokawa Shoko.

Without her current identity, she might still be on the island, and might never have any further contact with the other person.

After watching the performance, Mikasa Mika put on sunglasses, walked out of the planetarium, and saw Shoko Toyokawa standing at the entrance.

Her heart was instantly filled with joy, and she immediately went to greet him.

"Chu Hua still loves looking at the stars."

She heard the other person's voice in her ear.

However, her heart was overwhelmed with joy, and she didn't know how to answer, so she simply called out to the other person.

The two then went to the top floor of the building.

Misaka Chuka walked ahead, leading Toyokawa Shoko to the highest point on the top floor where people could stay—a bridge.

After stopping, she turned to look at the girl who had also stopped, her face filled with undisguised joy.

"Xiao Xiang, I'm really happy to be able to meet you."

"It's a real shame that we didn't get to have a proper chat when we met at the coffee shop last time."

Toyokawa Shoko's expression stiffened for a moment, but then she put on a bright smile again.

"We really didn't get to have a proper conversation last time."

"I remember when we were at the coffee shop, I heard Chu Hua say that she had recently been trying to do activities in her own name, and I was a little surprised."

"After all, the job itself is already very hard, Chu Hua is really working hard."

Misaka Hatsuka nodded, a slightly helpless smile on her face. She didn't want to linger on the topic of her work.

The reason she brought up coffee shops was because she wanted to know something about them.

Slightly adjusting her expression to make herself look somewhat impressed, Mikasa Hatsuka spoke again.

"I remember the friend who was with Xiaoxiang at the coffee shop last time, wasn't his name Shirakawa Ze?"

"The song he sang in his recent competition was absolutely fantastic!"

"To be honest, I'm even considering having the firm help me contact him."

She said that mainly to test the current state of their relationship.

If the two remain good friends, given the other person's warm-hearted nature, they would definitely offer to help them contact Shirakawa Sawa.
