I guess they have other jobs too.

Tazaki Toru, of course, had no idea that this was a result of the two girls' prior discussion.

This was all to give Rin a chance to be alone with him.

Now that things have come to this, Aoki Hina, subtly influenced by Tachibana Rin, has come to terms with it.

Instead of guarding against Tachibana Rin like they used to guard against criminals, the two of them should work together and coordinate to avoid giving the opportunity to other girls.

They had an agreement between the two of them, but not with other girls.

Since that's the case, it would be better to divide his time among himself and handle it internally.

Tazaki Toru went to the kitchen to get some water, while Tachibana Rin stood blankly in the living room, watching Tazaki Toru's back, her heart filled with conflicting emotions.

After Tazaki Toru came out of the kitchen, Tachibana Rin mustered her courage and took a light breath.

"Hey, Tazaki."

"Ok?"

Tazaki Toru turned to look at the girl.

Rin Tachibana's fingers intertwined behind her back, her voice still incredibly sweet: "Osaka is actually quite pretty."

"I know, I went to see it last time."

"........."

Well, Rin-nee still couldn't bring herself to say it.

Rin Tachibana seemed somewhat discouraged.

They had clearly already prepared their explanations in private.

After a few feigned tears and tantrums, along with various forms of coaxing or coercion, Tazaki Toru would always manage to give in.

According to Tachibana Rin's plan, as long as she can convince Tazaki Toru to lie for her sake, she can openly bring him back to Osaka and pretend he is her boyfriend.

Although Tazaki Toru hasn't achieved anything particularly dazzling yet, even from Tachibana Rin's perspective, Tazaki Toru is a rare and outstanding individual.

He is exceptionally talented, kind, and very steady in character; he is also quite good-looking.

Well, it's pretty good.

Even if we take it back, it won't bring shame to the Kubo family.

They might even turn their fake relationship into a real one, killing two birds with one stone, one man and two women (including Sister Yang).

But in reality...

Just looking at his gentle and handsome face, Tachibana Rinko's carefully prepared ideas vanished.

They even said they'd take him home to meet their parents; that's utter nonsense.

This time, Hina Aoki is definitely going to laugh at him again.

After taking a sip of water, Tazaki Toru took the backpack from Tachibana Rin and said, "I'll take you to the station."

Rin Tachibana couldn't refuse.

Rather, she hoped that she could persuade Tazaki Toru on her way to the station.

However, the two walked side by side the whole way from home to the station. Although Tazaki Toru took the initiative to talk to her, Tachibana Rin only replied with interjections and kept her head down.

By the time she came to her senses, the two had already reached the station.

"Miss Tachibana, I'll leave you here."

Tachibana Rin silently accepted the backpack handed to her by Tazaki Tooru, looked at Tazaki Tooru for a long time, and finally gave up.

"I'll let bygones be bygones last time, but you absolutely have to come and save me this time."

"Last time?"

Tazaki Toru was completely confused.

However, Tachibana Rin did not respond, but simply looked at the man in front of her silently.

"Then I'm off."

"Be careful on the road."

Rin Tachibana turned back every few steps, only to see Toru Tazaki standing there, watching her leave.

Whenever she looked back, Toru Tazaki would always greet her with a gentle smile.

She thought that if she really forced Tazaki Toru, he might temporarily agree, but that would go against his original intention not to lie.

In the end, it's highly likely that instead of getting closer to Toru Tazaki, he will feel guilty and gradually distance himself from her.

After much deliberation, Tachibana Rin abandoned her original plan.

"call……"

Rin Tachibana took a deep breath, tightened the shoulder strap of her backpack, and made up her mind.

A person must rely on themselves.

Even without Toru Tazaki, she was determined to resolve everything when she returned this time.

415. I already have someone I like.

In the afternoon, Tachibana Rin first went to the recording studio for rehearsal.

After the rehearsal, I packed my bag and went straight to Tokyo Station.

Aoki Hina followed her the whole way without asking Tachibana Rin how things were going.

However, when they arrived at Tokyo Station, Tazaki Toru was nowhere to be seen, so it seemed that Tachibana Rin's plan had failed.

Hina Aoki had anticipated this outcome, so she wasn't surprised.

She didn't say anything sarcastic or unpleasant, but instead hugged Tachibana Rin.

A sweet and gentle voice rang in the girl's ears.

"If you can't hold on, call me. No matter where you are, I'll rush over and give you a hug."

"Hina..."

Rin Tachibana blushed slightly, feeling touched, and shyly blurted out:

"Don't do that, lots of people are watching."

"Let them see."

"It will be mistaken for a virgin."

Hina Aoki understood that this was a unique way for Rin Tachibana to cover up her shame, just like how she would get angry when she couldn't argue with someone. It was the underlying logic behind all of this girl's actions.

Therefore, Aoki Hina simply smiled and slowly tightened her grip on Tachibana Rin's hand.

"If the target is Rin-chan, it doesn't seem so bad."

Perhaps, they are subconsciously avoiding a problem.

An obvious question, one that is both understood by both sides but never mentioned.

It's very likely that there will be no future for them and him.

Or, assuming we exclude Mika Kohinata, a formidable rival, and consider her alone...

Hina Aoki and he are a possibility, as is Rin Tachibana.

However, if Hina Aoki is with Rin Tachibana, the possibility of a relationship between her and him will actually decrease.

No matter how wonderful their plans are, it's very likely that in the end, Toru Tazaki will completely disagree with such an absurd proposal as a threesome.

After all, Toru Tazaki is a man who usually appears too upright.

It's hard to imagine the absurd scene of him having women on both sides.

"I now seriously suspect that I was your target from the very beginning, and I've really fallen for your trick."

Rin Tachibana pouted slightly, but a relaxed smile flickered in her eyes.

"I'll either be with you guys or with you; I won't accept anything else."

"Wouldn't that be turning a fake act into a real one? I won't do that."

The two girls were talking nonsense and then smiled at each other.

"Don't push yourself too hard," Hina Aoki advised.

"I know."

"Call me when you arrive."

"Ah."

"As long as I hear you cry for help, I will definitely come to save you."

"Don't try to save me, Tazaki will come to save me."

Hina Aoki was taken aback.

The two girls looked at each other for a long time, then burst out laughing together.

"It's almost time, I'm leaving."

"Well, be careful on the road."

……

……

It was late at night when I got off the Shinkansen.

As Tachibana Rin stepped out of the station, she spotted her older sister, Kubo Miyu, from afar.

"Mingyou."

Her sister waved to her, then hailed a taxi, and the two sat down in the back.

"I feel like you've been going home more often lately. Aren't you busy with work? Are you going to be kicked out of the band?"
