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

Similarly, she used to be afraid of awkward silences when she was with others.

Especially after transferring to Moon Forest.

She hated that silent atmosphere, feeling it amplified her inner unease.

It will make you feel even more lost and confused.

It's as if everyone is using silence to judge someone who doesn't belong to this circle.

Therefore, she always has a habit of enlivening the atmosphere, always observes the reactions of those around her, and always tries to balance communication in all aspects.

But now, even when the surroundings are quiet, she no longer feels lonely.

Even though no one around her spoke, she no longer felt uneasy.

This is the strength that the two people in front of her gave her.

It freed her from anxiety and fear of loss, and from being overly cautious.

This allows her to fully enjoy warmth and security.

Looking at the two people in front of her, she felt her emotions surging, and her eyes began to well up with tears. Finally, she spoke in a trembling voice.

"I'm so happy to have met you all."

"I feel really lucky to be able to sit here with you all."

"Thank you, Ze-kun. Thank you, Deng-chan."

Hearing the sound, Takamatsu Akari turned her attention away from the sky and looked at Nagasaki Motoyo with a hint of confusion, not quite understanding why the other party was suddenly saying these things.

Shirakawa Ze could roughly guess the emotional implication in her words. He put down his teacup, sat up straight, and gazed at her.

"To be honest, our coming together is inseparable from Su Shi's efforts."

"If Su Shi hadn't persisted, we wouldn't have had so many interactions, we wouldn't have gotten to know each other better after going through all sorts of things, and we wouldn't have ultimately chosen each other so firmly."

"Looking back now, if I really have to thank someone, it's Su Shi."

Hearing this, Takamatsu Akari understood, turned to look at Nagasaki Motoyo beside her, and nodded earnestly.

“Zejun is right.”

"If it weren't for Su Shi, I probably still wouldn't be planning to play in a band, nor would I stand on the stage I love and express my feelings to everyone."

"Meeting Su Shi was one of the greatest strokes of luck in my life."

She reached out and took the hand of the girl in front of her, whose eyes were already brimming with tears.

"Su Shi, thank you for your persistence and hard work all this time."

"I will always be by your side."

Nagasaki Motoyo looked at Takamatsu Akira in front of her, then at Shirakawa Sawa on the other side, and burst into tears of joy.

"thank you all……"

"I want to be with you all for the rest of my life."

Shirakawa Ze stood up, walked over to her, and reached out to wipe away the tears on her face.

"Then we should take good care of ourselves and try to make our lives longer."

A smile appeared on the girl's face. She took one arm from Takamatsu Akari and the other from Shirakawa Sawa, and nodded.

"I will work hard!"

Gao Songdeng released her hand, gently touched the latter, and gestured for him to quickly do something.

Shirakawa Sawa understood, immediately reached out and pulled Nagasaki Motoyo into his arms, then kissed her.

Upon seeing the two kissing, Takamatsu Akari's first reaction was joy. After a while, she realized what she was looking at and immediately looked away shyly.

But after a few seconds, he couldn't help but turn his gaze back to the two of them.

After the two parted, Nagasaki Motoyo looked at Takamatsu Akari beside her, her eyes also filled with shyness.

"Deng-chan, Ze-kun has been holding back all day, should we help him out?"

Gao Songdeng knew which aspect the other party was referring to, and immediately shook his head to indicate his refusal.

Doing this alone is already embarrassing enough, how could two people do it together?!

Nagasaki Motoyo completely ignored her refusal, grabbed her hand, and forced her to hold it as the topic of their three-person meeting.

Takamatsu was so shy that she couldn't help but turn her head away, looking elsewhere, but her little hands were clenched tightly.

Seeing that she wasn't entirely unable to accept it, Nagasaki Motoyo smiled, offered a helping hand, and worked together with her to explore the topic of their exchange.

After about ten minutes, Nagasaki Motoyo looked at Takamatsu Akari, whose strength was beginning to wane, and then at Shirakawa Sawa, whose expression hadn't changed much, and spoke with a hint of helplessness.

"I feel that this level is far from enough..."

"Does Dengjiang have any suggestions?"

Gao Songdeng immediately shook her head. She was so shy that she felt like her mind wasn't even her own anymore, so how could she possibly offer any suggestions?

A hint of doubt appeared in Nagasaki Motoyo's eyes.

"Don't you and Ze Jun have any other kind of communication usually?"

There definitely is, but at this point, Takamatsu was too embarrassed to communicate in any other way.

She let go of his hand, got up, and ran into the master bedroom, leaving behind only a shy remark.

"Su Shi should help Ze Jun herself!"

Seeing that the situation had changed from a two-person effort to a one-on-one battle, Nagasaki Motoyo was not intimidated. Instead, she felt an even stronger fighting spirit and began to launch a fierce attack on Shirakawa Sawa.

In the bedroom, Takamatsu Todoroki, suppressing her embarrassment, secretly observed the interaction between the two, feeling as if she had opened the door to a new world.

"I didn't know it could be like this?"

At that moment, she felt she had learned a lot.

As the battle between the two intensified, the main focus shifted from the balcony to the master bedroom.

Inevitably, Takamatsu was drawn into the situation again.

Because Nagasaki Motoyo's strength was about to be exhausted, the baton had to be passed to her.

Although his physical strength had recovered considerably, after receiving the baton, Takamatsu Akari was still too shy to perform at her best and could only try to attack by following the instructions of the previous baton runner.

Ultimately, with their combined efforts, Shirakawa Sawa surrendered a massive amount of spoils, ending the battle...

P.S.: I'll post the next part tomorrow; I'm really not in the mood today.

Volume 1: Chapter 200 Su Shi's Birthday (Part 2)

After taking a shower, Nagasaki Motoyo sat on the edge of the bed, looked at Takamatsu Akari, who was wrapped tightly in the blanket, and smiled gently. She spoke softly.

"As expected, Deng-chan is still not used to being with the three of them."

The latter didn't say anything, but simply buried her face in the blanket.

What happened today really made her feel very embarrassed.

Nagasaki Motoyo looked at the other person, a gentle smile appearing in her eyes. Then she got up, took out a few sets of underwear from her suitcase, and hung them on the clothes rack in the room.

"Dengjiang, these clothes are all prepared for you."

Gao Songdeng slightly raised her head, glanced at it, and then immediately looked away, burying her face in the blanket again.

These clothes are indeed different in style from the ones the other person left at Shirakawa's house; they seem to have been specially chosen for her.

However, these are also extremely daring styles, and she is still too embarrassed to wear them.

After hanging up all the clothes, Nagasaki Motoyo sat down next to Takamatsu Akari, reached under the covers and placed a small square box in her hand. She then leaned down slightly and whispered in her ear,

"Lantern Girl, these are clothes you need to wear with the belief of 'victory is certain'! Tonight, let's use them to have a showdown with Ze-kun!"

"I'm going to rest in the bedroom on the far side. Good luck!"

After saying that, Nagasaki Motoyo got up and left.

After watching the other person leave, Gao Songdeng touched the small box in his hand, unable to tell what it was. So he stretched his hand out from under the covers and found that it was a small box of spirit-blocking items!

Her hand trembled involuntarily, then she immediately pulled back under the covers, her mind a jumble of thoughts.

She had considered this matter before.

I have also made the corresponding mental preparations.

But she always felt that a catalyst was missing.

The current situation can at best be considered an "opportunity".

An opportunity created for them by Motoyo Nagasaki.

She didn't want to get together with Shirakawa under the current circumstances.

She wanted to complete this important life ceremony in a more "pure" environment.

If I had to say, in the current situation, Shirakawa Sawa and Nagasaki Motoyo would be more suitable.

After having an idea, she took the box to the door of the latter's bedroom and knocked.

Nagasaki Motoyo opened the door and, seeing Takamatsu Todoroki outside, her eyes showed a hint of curiosity.

"Light-chan?"

She opened the door a little wider, making room for herself.

"Is there something wrong with Deng-chan?"

Takamatsu went inside, closed the door, and handed over the box she was carrying.

"Su Shi, actually, Ze Jun and I have never had that kind of thing happen."

Nagasaki Motoyo paused for a moment, surprise appearing in her eyes.

"Eh?"

"There's none?"

Because the scene she saw at Shirakawa Sawa's house looked so much like the aftermath of a major battle, she naturally assumed that the two of them had already progressed to that point.
