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

Shiina Tatsuki had no other choice but to ask the other person for advice, so she turned to face them.

"Su Shi, if it were you visiting a friend's house for the first time, what kind of gift would you buy?"

Nagasaki Motoyo immediately grasped the key information, but needed to confirm it again.

She looked at the girl in front of her with pure eyes, seemingly without the slightest impurity.

Is this your first time visiting a friend's house?

"That is a question worth considering."

"We have to consider the other person's personality and hobbies, as well as how close we are to each other."

"Well, if they're same-sex friends, you can be more casual..."

Shiina Tatsuki didn't think too much about it and said directly,

"His personality is quite good, but I'm not sure about his hobbies, and we're not particularly close."

"But...they're friends of the opposite sex..."

Hearing this, Nagasaki Motoyo was basically certain that the other party was visiting Shirakawa Sawa's house.

The other party knows that he knows Shirakawa Sawa, and if he doesn't have any other intentions, he can simply tell him.

After all, you can make a better decision once you know the specific person involved.

But she still chose to keep it a secret.

This indicates that the other party has other ideas in mind, and given their situation, there are only two possible reasons for choosing to conceal it.

It's either related to Gao Songdeng, or it's related to her personally.

Since it was said that the relationship was just so-so, it must be related to the former.

Why the concealment? That part can be put aside for now.

The more important question now is why the other party wanted to visit Shirakawa Sawa's home.

Given their circumstances, it's highly unlikely that Shiina Tatsuki would take the initiative to suggest visiting the other person's home.

That was because Shirakawa Ze took the initiative to invite him.

What is the reason for the invitation?

On one hand, there's the school festival, and on the other hand, there's the Takamatsu lantern.

Or both.

If it's just the former, they'll most likely choose a coffee shop, like last time, rather than a more private place like home.

Moreover, given Shiina Tatsuki's personality, if she chooses to discuss the school festival at home, she most likely won't go.

If it's the latter reason, then there are two possibilities: Takamatsu Akari is at Shirakawa Sawa's house and she isn't.

Given the current situation, if he is not present, it is highly likely that Shiina Tatsuki will not be invited, since this would be an action that would cause Takamatsu Akari to misunderstand.

Moreover, similar to the school festival activities, there is no need to go to someone's home to chat.

At this point, Nagasaki Motoyo could basically conclude that the reason Shiina Tatsuki visited Shirakawa Sawa's house was most likely because of Takamatsu Akari.

Moreover, it's highly likely that Takamatsu Akari is also at Shirakawa Sawa's house at this time.

After the result appeared in her mind, Nagasaki Motoyo didn't show anything, she just smiled.

"In that case, let's choose a gift that's less likely to be a bad choice."

"For example, fruits, snacks, and the like."

"After all, the most important thing about giving gifts is the sentiment behind it."

Shiina Tatsuki nodded, whispered her thanks, and then turned and walked toward a nearby fruit shop.

After lingering on the other person's back for a few seconds, Nagasaki Motoyo turned and walked home.

After returning home, Nagasaki Motoyo put the vegetables in the refrigerator.

Actually, the groceries she bought last night were enough for her to eat this weekend.

But last night, my mother, who usually doesn't come home on weekends, came back.

He reeked of alcohol and said he wanted to eat her cooking.

Then she showed off half of the groceries she bought in one meal.

So tonight she went out to buy vegetables for tomorrow's cooking.

After setting the food out, Nagasaki Motoyo washed her hands, then sat on the sofa and started playing on her phone.

After playing for a while, she put down her phone, turned to look out the window, and murmured softly.

"As expected... she still cares a little..."

What are you doing right now?

By this time, Shirakawa and the other two had already started eating.

After Shiina Tatsuki returned, he did not mention his encounter with Nagasaki Motoyo.

She definitely didn't mention it on purpose.

Just now, I deliberately avoided mentioning Shirakawa Ze in front of the other party.

Ever since I saw Yoruichi dragging the other person to talk to Shirakawa about marriage.

For some reason, from that day on, she felt that Nagasaki Motoyo was dangerous and didn't want her to get too close to him.

In her opinion, Shirakawa Sawa was a good choice for Takamatsu Akari.

This idea became even more firmly established after the last misunderstanding.

So she wanted the two of them to get along naturally.

She didn't actually think that Nagasaki Motoyo was the kind of person who would ruin other people's relationships.

In her heart, she also acknowledged that the other person was a close friend.

However, out of consideration for the relationship between Takamatsu Akari and Shirakawa Sawa, she still did not want the latter to have too much contact with her.

The two people at the same table naturally had no idea what Shiina Ritsuki was thinking; they only sensed that she was more silent than usual…

Volume 1: Chapter 59 Li Xi, Li Xi

After the meal, Shirakawa saw Takamatsu Akari and Shiina Tatsuki to the door, said goodbye, and watched them leave together.

The entire journey was speechless.

When they arrived at Takamatsu Akari's building, Shiina Tatsuki, as before, said "I'm going home" and then turned and walked towards his own house.

"Lixi."

Unlike usual, this time she heard Gao Songdeng call out to her.

She turned around and looked at the girl who was holding two boxes.

The girl was looking at her, her eyes bright.

"Lixi, remember to send me a message when you get home."

Shiina Tatsuki's pupils contracted slightly, and she even paused for a moment.

"Eh?"

"Well……"

"it is good!"

A happy smile bloomed on her face. She nodded to Takamatsu Akari, then turned and left with light steps.

After arriving home, Shiina Ritsuki immediately kicked off her shoes, put the fast food in the kitchen, and quickly ran upstairs to her room.

Before even putting down the bag containing the music composition teaching materials, he took out his phone and sent a message to Gao Songdeng.

"Light, I'm home."

After sending the message, Shiina Tatsuki gently placed her phone on the table, and then placed the bag containing the books on the table.

He then pulled out a chair and sat down, glancing at the screen at the same time.

Seeing that the other party had not replied to the message, I opened the bag, took out all the books inside, and arranged them according to type.

"Buzz"

My phone vibrated twice.

Shiina Tatsuki immediately picked up her phone and saw that Takamatsu Akari had replied to her message.

"Ok!"

Although it was only one word, the joy in her eyes did not diminish.

After staring at the screen for a while, I felt like I had nothing to talk to the other person about, and my eyes gradually dimmed again.

She sighed softly, replied "I'm going to take a shower," then turned off her phone screen and opened the notebook in front of her.

The notebook was filled with notes she had taken while learning music composition on her own.

She turned on her computer, opened the music production software she usually used to practice alongside theoretical knowledge, and put on her headphones…

Night fell quickly, and dawn gradually approached.

When Shiina Ritsuki woke up, it was already noon.

She patted her still slightly dazed head, threw back the covers, got out of bed, and started getting dressed.

She has a great figure, curvaceous and shapely, and every place her gaze falls upon is a beautiful sight.

But she had no interest in these things.
