"I feel like you're looking down on me. Do you think I'm easy to fool, that I'll just listen to you with a few sweet words?"

"Anyway, you can go on a date with Tazaki, you must be extremely proud of yourself."

"It would be a lie to say that I wasn't a little proud."

"See!"

“But.” Hina Aoki reached out and gently stroked Rin Tachibana’s short hair, the smooth strands slipping through her fingers and falling down.

"I still like you the most."

Rin Tachibana couldn't help but turn her head away.

"You're just like Tazaki, always spouting sweet talk to fool me. You're two of a kind."

"I'm a perfectly normal girl, and I've fallen for the two of you."

Hina Aoki chuckled: "Me too."

"It is because you are here that I have the courage to face him."

"Thank you, Rin-chan."

“You are different from me. Compared to a girl like me who is full of lies, you are more likely to attract his attention.”

"You don't have to lie, just be yourself."

"In that case, one day, Tazaki-kun will turn his gaze to you alone."

Rin Tachibana didn't know what to say.

What Hina Aoki said was not what she had hoped for.

Rin Tachibana never intended for Toru Tazaki to focus his attention solely on her. It seemed that without Hina Aoki, even if she gained his favor, the relationship would not be complete.

Rin Tachibana is a greedy girl.

She wants everything.

She is willing to give her all to achieve this goal.

But at that moment, Hina Aoki said that she was only looking at herself.

"Then... what about Mika-chan?"

"You are not obligated to face an enemy you cannot defeat."

Hina Aoki said, half-jokingly.

"That sounds so lame," the girl said, pouting slightly.

Then, Tachibana Rin let out a breath.

"Since you've put it that way, I'll just do as you say. It's just a date, my turn will come eventually."

"Hey, let's sleep together tonight."

Aoki Hina glanced at the bedside table drawer out of the corner of her eye and said decisively, "That won't do."

"What?! You were lying to me again."

480. Today, I will play the piano for you.

5 month 14 day.

Tazaki Toru was still the first one to get up.

As usual, I go for a morning run and then come back to prepare breakfast.

Hina Aoki woke up very early today, and by the time Toru Tazaki returned, she had already finished washing up and changing.

They greeted each other with good morning and helped Tazaki Toru prepare breakfast.

Today is MyGO's day off, and Tachibana Rin is still sleeping upstairs.

Compared to Tachibana Rin, who has nothing to do except for MyGO, Aoki Hina has no work schedule during the day and goes to rehearse for the stage play "Revue Starlight" in the evening.

In addition, Aoki Hina has recently been appearing on radio programs with other senior members of her agency, making her increasingly busy. Her title as the second prince of Hibiki Entertainment seems to be becoming more and more certain.

Compared to a year ago, Rin Tachibana has changed quite a bit, but her social anxiety and reluctance to go out haven't changed much.

Practicing the piano alone in the music room during her spare time has become her daily routine.

At the dining table, Toru Tazaki and Hina Aoki sat facing each other.

Where is Miss Mingyou?

"She's probably still sleeping, don't worry about her," Aoki Hina said.

After breakfast, just past eight o'clock, the two prepared to go out together.

Just as Tazaki Toru said that day, he was going on a date with Aoki Hina.

Although Aoki Hina didn't show it on her face, she was still feeling uneasy inside.

She could only console herself in her heart again and again.

Afterwards, the two went out together and headed to a nearby train station.

The May sunshine, having shed the shyness and hesitation of spring, pours down from the depths of the high, deep blue sky.

The breeze that brushed past the two of them carried a hint of the approaching summer.

Hina Aoki could hardly remember the last time she had walked side by side with Toru Tazaki on a street with fresh air.

The cat's sparkling eyes reflected the slightly warm sunlight and the profile of Toru Tazaki beside it.

The girl was dressed as usual, without any special effort to dress up, at most she wore some light makeup.

Even without doing anything extra, her delicate and lovely face still proves that she is an absolute beauty.

As for items like bra pads or lingerie, she had long since thrown them deep into the closet.

Now that things have come to this, Hina Aoki no longer wants to rely on external things and hopes to face Toru Tazaki in her most original form.

"Tazaki-kun, where are you taking me today?"

The girl asked.

Tazaki Toru turned his head to look at her.

"Hmm... let's keep it a secret for now."

"Eh?"

Aoki Hina blinked her beautiful eyes, never expecting that Tazaki Toru, a man known for his seriousness and straightforwardness, would be so mysterious.

While feeling uneasy, a sense of anticipation also welled up within me.

I boarded the tram, and it swayed and bumped along the way.

The tram was extremely crowded, and the two of them were in a corner.

Tazaki Toru's arms encircled her in the corner, feeling the girl's cheek gently pressed against his chest.

"Is Miss Hina scared?"

Suddenly, Tazaki Toru lowered his head and asked softly.

I could faintly smell the girl's shampoo scent.

Hina Aoki looked up: "Why are you afraid?"

"What if I take you to some bad place?"

Hina Aoki couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh, "Tazaki-kun would never do such a thing."

"Thank you for trusting me so much."

"Tazaki-kun, are you testing me?"

"If that's the case, I'll be really heartbroken. I might even squat down and wail in front of all these people. Let's see how you handle that."

Tazaki Toru smiled gently.

"Miss Hinata probably wouldn't do something so troublesome, but if it were Miss Akira, it's hard to say."

Hina Aoki was amused and giggled.

After getting off the tram and exiting the station, Hina Aoki looked around at the street scene with a puzzled expression.

"Shimokitazawa?"

"Ah."

Why did you come to Shimokitazawa?

"Go get the equipment."

"equipment?"

"Miss Hina, do you remember our first meeting?"

"Naturally remember."

On countless nights before falling asleep, Hina Aoki would recall her first encounter with Toru Tazaki.

At that time, she only wanted to learn how to compose music, and she could never have imagined that she would have such deep feelings for him now.

Tazaki Toru smiled calmly and remained silent.

Although Aoki Hina was confused, she didn't think much of it and followed Tazaki Toru along the way.

The path they were walking on was one that Hina Aoki knew all too well; it led to the live house SHELTER.

The girl felt that Tazaki-kun was truly single-mindedly devoted to music.

They said it was a date, but in the end they still ended up doing things related to music.

This reminded her of their last outing, which also involved visiting a music store.

For Aoki Hina, this was the perfect activity for them.

Arrived at SHELTER.

At the familiar stairwell leading underground, there was a sign prohibiting photography, and next to it was today's performance list.
