Tokyo: Oreimo

"Perhaps it's talent?"

"This doesn't make sense. I'm wondering if it's just an excuse to see you?"

When Hayakawa Shizuka heard her teammate's words, she was stunned for a moment, and then her face turned bright red.

"Don't talk nonsense!"

"Hehe, if you think about it carefully, this is the only possibility, right?"

"You're so talented, yet you only collaborate with Shizuka. The song you're working on isn't suitable for you, but you immediately come up with a perfect one. Is it really possible for such a coincidence?"

“…”

Chapter 106 and the Toilet Seat

Asakura Mirai's words plunged Hayakawa Shizuka into complete silence.

Thinking about it carefully, it is indeed as Mirai said, Ryosuke Takashiro's musical talent is really too strange.

Despite not knowing how to compose music, he could clearly describe the details of every melody and even point out the instrumentation.

If it's just an excuse to see her... just thinking about it makes my heart race.

"Don't...don't make wild guesses." Hayakawa Shizuka lowered her head, her voice growing softer and softer. "Takashiro-kun just...just trusts my abilities."

"Oh~ Is that so?" Asakura Mirai drew out her words meaningfully, "Then why you of all people, Shizuka? SP Company isn't the only one that can compose music."

"this....."

“And also,” Asakura Mirai whispered in Hayakawa Shizuka’s ear, “did you notice his expression when he mentioned ‘Connect’ and said, ‘There’s a song you can sing’?”

"what?"

“It’s that kind of… um…” Asakura Mirai tilted her head and thought for a moment, “like she’s confirming something, like she’s confirming whether this song is suitable for her to sing.”

Hayakawa Shizuka's heart was pounding. She didn't say anything more, but quickened her pace.

.......

Evening, at Takashiro's house.

Steam rose from the bathroom. Takashiro Ryono changed into her pajamas, tucked her hair into a hair drying cap, and returned to her room.

He leaped onto the bed.

The girl picked up her phone and checked if there were any text messages from her friends.

"What? No reply at all."

Four hours have passed since she got home, and it's as if Aragaki Ruri has been out of contact.

She also wanted to ask the other person for their thoughts after watching the film.

The clock struck 9 o'clock, and according to her habits, it would still be about two hours before it was time for her to go to bed.

"At this time, that black cat should still be busy, right?"

Recently, Mao Gokou has been busy building the website framework due to a request from Ryosuke, and she is rarely seen in the chat room.

I can't even find someone to chat with.

Ling felt a sense of loneliness.

"How boring, what is that guy doing?"

As if she had thought of something, Takashiro Ryouno took small steps and walked to Ryosuke's room, gently turning the doorknob.

...

Through the crack in the door, the girl could see that the other person was sitting at a desk writing something.

She tiptoed into the room, completely unaware of Ryosuke's presence.

This guy is really focused.

Because she had been navigating the dark so many times at night, Takashiro Ryouno was so familiar with the layout of her brother's room that she could walk around it with her eyes closed.

And he mastered the skill of walking barefoot without making a sound.

Soon, he quietly touched Ryosuke's back.

"What are you writing?"

Takashiro Ryouno held her breath, curiously focusing her gaze on Ryosuke's pen tip.

...

Sunohara: "Yo, good morning, Okazaki. Are you having lunch in the cafeteria today too?"

Tomoya: "That's quite a refreshing greeting, but it doesn't suit you at all. It's so different from your image that it scared me."

Tomoya: "Sunohara, from now on, you have to add 'and the toilet seat' to the end of every sentence. That'll sound like you."

Sunohara: "Why is there a toilet seat?"

Tomoya: "Isn't this quite natural?"

Sunohara: "Really? There are toilet seats too?"

Tomoya: "Yes, yes, maintaining this state suits you very well."

...

"?"

Takashiro Ryouno's expression suddenly became quite interesting; the corner of her mouth twitched slightly, as if she wanted to laugh but dared not.

What is this guy writing?

Why add "and toilet seat" to the end of every sentence?

By the way, isn't this guy named Sunohara Youhei an idiot?

Oh no, I can't hold back anymore.

It's so funny, what's going on?

As Ling Nai's gaze travels downwards, in the subsequent dialogue, whenever the character named Sunohara speaks, he always adds the phrase "and the toilet seat" at the end.

.....

Sunohara: "Yo, hello there, Okazaki, and the toilet seat too."

Tomoya: "You seem to be enjoying yourself."

Sunohara: "Shall we go eat? And what about the toilet seat?"

Tomoya: "I only need to eat."

Sunohara: "Then I'll have pork cutlet rice bowl and a toilet seat."

Tomoya: "This combination is really amazing."

.....

"Ugh..."

Even though she tried to control herself and covered her mouth with her hand, Takashiro Ryouno still couldn't help but make sounds.

"Ok?"

Hearing this strange noise, Ryosuke belatedly turned around, pulling himself out of his creative state.

"Hahahahaha!"

Realizing she had been discovered, the girl stopped pretending and simply sat down on the ground, clutching her stomach and laughing.

"What are you writing? A comedy novel?"

"It's the script for a new game, and a toilet seat."

Upon hearing Ryosuke's reply, Ling Nai burst into laughter as if her tickle had been tickled.

Don't add random suffixes to your sentences!

"Speaking of which, it's very rude of you to sneak into my room without knocking... and the toilet seat too."

"Pfft, hahahaha."

Takashiro Ryouno laughed so hard she rolled around on the tatami mat.

This guy not only seems to be easily moved to tears, but he also seems to be easily amused.

Ryosuke looked at his sister, who was laughing so hard she was panting, with amusement.

The hair drying cap tied on the girl's head fell off due to her movements, and her slightly damp blonde hair was scattered on the tatami mat.

Her pajamas wrinkled from the movement, exposing her flat, smooth abdomen to the air, and her cheeks were flushed slightly.

Takashiro Ryouno laughed until tears streamed down her face. She finally managed to get up from the tatami mat and wiped her eyes.

"No way, is this Sunohara a complete idiot?"

"It's just a simple daily routine."

"Who would add a toilet seat to their daily routine?"

“That makes sense. Let’s change it to ‘and rice cooker’.”

"?"

Ling Nai burst into laughter again, her whole body twitching slightly as she lay on the tatami.

Seeing that he had amused himself enough, Ryosuke turned back and continued writing something in his notebook.

"You've laughed enough, go back to your rooms."

The Clannad script currently only has one complete main storyline; Ryosuke is still piecing together a significant portion of the subplots, so we need to hurry.

He hadn't expected Ling Nai to suddenly sneak up behind him and peek, but fortunately he didn't see anything inappropriate.

Seeing her laughing so happily now, Ryosuke couldn't help but think of how she looked when she beat the game.

To be honest, this work is a disaster for people with sensitive tear ducts.

"No, I'm too bored lately."
