When I’m in a music show, I just want to make music seriously!

Because the windbreaker itself was a bit thick, it was a bit difficult to wash and took some time to dry, so she spent four days cleaning it herself and folding it in a bag, planning to bring it back to Sakagami Taku today.

Of course, she slept with this piece of clothing on her body that night when she returned, but she would definitely not tell anyone about it.

Shoko Toyokawa sent a message to Taku Sakagami, but found that the other party had not replied for a long time.

"Is there something wrong?"

Shoko Toyokawa looked up at the apartment, hesitating whether to go up.

Just at this moment, a cute and lively voice attracted Toyokawa Shoko's attention.

"Woo wow, you're that guy, Takuya's friend!"

Hearing this voice, Shoko Toyokawa turned around in some confusion, and then saw an extremely cute JK girl with blonde side ponytail.

The other party was obviously surprised to see her.

Toyokawa Shoko asked with some confusion: "Who are you?"

The girl with the blonde side ponytail was surprised for a moment, then quickly introduced herself:

"I'm Taku's neighbor, my name is Ichichi Hongka, you can just call me Hongka, what about you?"

Toyokawa Shoko also introduced herself: "My name is Toyokawa Shoko."

"Xiao Xiang-chan, are you here looking for Taku for something?"

This girl named Ijichi Nikka looks lively and energetic, very cute, and just the conversation with her makes Toyokawa Shoko feel relaxed.

But what puzzled Toyokawa Shoko was why the other party knew that she was Taku's team member, but she did not recognize the girl in front of her.

Is it because when Tuo joined the band, he told this Hong Xia?

But if you think about it carefully, CRYCHIC did have a social media account at the time, and there were photos of them on it. Maybe he followed her and recognized her when he saw her.

The other person's tone was kind and gentle. Toyokawa Shoko even felt that there was nothing wrong with him calling her such a familiar name. She nodded, but didn't say that she was coming here specifically to return the clothes: "I borrowed some things from Taku before, and I plan to come here to return them now."

Ijichi Hongxia's eyes fell on the bag in Toyokawa Shoko's hand. She stroked her chin and thought for a moment, then said, "Taku has something to do and is out for the time being. Why don't you come to my house and rest for a while? Well, he should be back soon."

"Huh?" Upon hearing this, Toyokawa Shoko subconsciously wanted to refuse.

Ijichi Hongxia smiled. "It's okay. I live next door to Taku. You don't know how long you'll have to wait if you just stand here. Besides, he usually goes home before work. It's better for you to rest up. After all, you're an important friend of Taku's. I'll text him later to ask him to come back soon."

Important...friends?

That's how he tells others about himself.

Shoko Toyokawa didn't know whether she was happy or guilty.

Under the other party's cordial invitation, Toyokawa Shoko hesitated for a while, and finally said, "Sorry to bother you."

Following Ijichi Nikka all the way up, they arrived at the room next to Taku Sakagami's small room. Ijichi Nikka opened the door and then invited Toyokawa Shoko to sit in the living room.

Ijichi Hongxia went to prepare tea for Toyokawa Shoko.

Shoko Toyokawa put down the bag in her hand and looked around the room.

The whole house is very cozy, and you can occasionally see some band peripherals. It can be seen that the owner also likes the band.

When she noticed a room with an open door, Shoko Toyokawa saw Ijichi Hongka running over in a panic.

While still saying something like "No, no," he quickly closed the door of the room and locked it.

Toyokawa Shoko showed a puzzled expression on her face, but did not ask any further questions.

This is someone else's home, there must be some privacy that is inconvenient for her to see.

There are several cups on the coffee table, and one of them is a completely different color from the others.

Next to the cup, there is a framed photo.

Shoko Toyokawa looked over curiously and found a photo of Taku Sakagami and the Ijichi sisters. The three of them were standing in front of a LiveHouse called 'STARRY' with smiles on their faces.

The moment she saw this photo, Shoko Toyokawa suddenly felt a little uncomfortable inside, but she didn't know where the feeling came from.

However, this also made her understand that the Hongxia in front of her should be Taku's childhood sweetheart, just like her and Wakaba Mutsu.

After all, judging from the photos, Taku and Nijixia were both very young, looking to be just over ten years old. It was just that the other person's home had a photo with Taku Sakagami, which made Toyokawa Shoko a little confused.

No matter how good the relationship between childhood sweethearts is, they should not be included in family photos.

Soon, Ijichi Hongka brought a cup of tea to her. Noticing Toyokawa Shoko looking at the photo, Ijichi Hongka explained, "Ah, that's a photo we all took when my sister first opened the shop. I thought it was meaningful, so I developed it and made it into a photo."

"Open a store?"

"Yeah, STARRY downstairs is my sister's LiveHouse. If Xiaoxiang wants to perform or something, you can come over to our place."

As she spoke, Ijichi Hongxia sat on another sofa.

"I see." Toyokawa Shoko asked curiously, "Does Taku often perform here?"

"Oh? No, he doesn't have the money to pay for the performance."

Toyokawa Shoko had no doubt about this, and she continued to ask, "Are you in a band too?"

"Well, although I'm not very good, I'm trying my best." Ijichi Hongxia admitted openly: "Where's Xiaoxiang-chan?"

Hearing this, Toyokawa Shoko's expression was noticeably downcast: "I don't have any plans in this regard for the time being."

After hearing her words, Ijichi Hongxia already had a rough answer in her mind.

As her childhood friend, how could she not know that Sakagami Taku's band had ended? She just didn't ask specifically what happened.

However, she still knew the situation at Toyokawa Shoko's home. With such a big thing happening in the Toyokawa Group, she could easily find the information by searching on the Internet.

This is also why, from the time they met until now, Ijichi Kouka has never talked about anything in Sakagami Taku's previous band.

However, Ijichi Nijika did not have any prejudice or strange views towards Toyokawa Shoko. After all, she was Taku Sakagami's friend, not hers, and she would not disturb Taku Sakagami's circle of friends.

There was a moment of silence. Toyokawa Shoko fiddled with her teacup, then tentatively asked, "Um, did Taku come to Tokyo very early?"

"Yeah." Ijichi Hongxia nodded. "About eight years ago, right? He was only eight years old then, the same age as me. He came here alone, found a way to rent a house, and then tried to find some way to make money. Pretty impressive, right?"

Hearing this, Shoko Toyokawa looked surprised. He came here when he was eight years old?

How did he get through these years?

As if reading her thoughts, Yidizhi Hongxia said, "At the beginning, he really couldn't find a job. My sister saw it at that time and helped him temporarily pay the rent for a few months. At that time, he even gave him an IOU very seriously, saying that he would find a way to repay it in the future."

"Then?"

"After that..." Because I was too young and no one wanted to hire me, I started working in self-media.

That was a very hard time, and I was trying to find ways to save money.

However, Ijichi Hongxia would not say these things. She simply skipped the topic and said, "Well, after that, Taku found a suitable job and slowly started to pay back the rent. But it was also a difficult time. A lot of things happened."

It turned out to be the case.

In contrast, Shoko Toyokawa felt like a flower in a greenhouse.

When she followed her father out, she felt that she had tried very hard to hold on, but compared to Taku Sakagami, her situation was nothing.

Shoko Toyokawa had no idea about what happened before she invited Taku Sakagami to join the band.

It seemed that at this moment, she finally began to understand what Taku Sakagami was carrying on his shoulders.

After hesitating for a long time, Toyokawa Shoko mustered up the courage, looked up at Ijichi Hongxia and asked, "Um, can you tell me about Taku? I, I want to know more about him."

Hearing her words, Ijichi Hongxia tilted her head in confusion: "Huh?"

She simply thought that the other person was a friend from Taku's previous band, but why did Ijichi Hongxia feel like something was wrong?

Realizing that she had suddenly said something inexplicable, Toyokawa Shoko hurriedly explained in a panic: "No, no, I just... I didn't mean that, I was just a little curious..."

Suddenly asking someone about their childhood sweetheart, saying they want to get to know each other better.

Only now did Shoko Toyokawa realize that what she had said was strange.

After a moment of confusion, Ijichi Hongxia quickly revealed a gentle smile: "Well, I know what Xiaoxiang-chan means. It's okay."

When Shoko Toyokawa heard that Ijichi Hongxia agreed, an expression of gratitude appeared on her face.

Ijichi Hongxia continued, "Xiao Xiang-chan must have received a lot of help from Taku."

Toyokawa Shoko was touched by what she said. She nodded slightly, her tone tinged with self-blame: "Well, I used to... cause him a lot of trouble."

After hearing what Toyokawa Shoko said, Ijichi Nijika roughly understood why Toyokawa Shoko said that she wanted to know about Sakagami Taku.

She used to be like this too. When Taku Sakagami helped her get over the grief of her mother's death, she didn't know what had happened in Taku Sakagami's family at that time, and she was willfully enjoying his tenderness.

For Ijichi Hongka, Taku Sakagami is like a guiding light in her life, letting her know where she should go.

When she met Shoko Toyokawa, she was actually a little curious about what kind of person Sakagami Taku's former boss was and what kind of relationship the two had.

But after they actually came into contact, all the selfish thoughts in Ijichi Hongxia's heart had disappeared long ago.

Sakagami Taku's gentleness has never belonged to her alone. He is shining, so why should she try to cover it up?

"That's not the case." Ijichi Hongxia's voice was light, not making the topic any more serious.

"Xiao Xiang-chan, please don't think like that. Don't look at Taku's expression. What he hates most is others treating his help as a burden."

At this point, Ijichi Nijika imitated Sakagami Taku's behavior, her voice deliberately low: "I help others only to satisfy my inner vanity, to satisfy my heart, to make me feel really kind, and to make my mood brighten today, not because I really have any kind heart, and certainly not to move you to tears."

After saying that, Ijichi Hongxia returned to her normal voice: "That's what he said."

Toyokawa Shoko watched Ijichi Hongka's performance with a surprised expression: "He also said such a thing?"

From Hongxia's few words, she felt as if she had known another side of Sakagami Taku.

Ijichi Nikka nodded, with an expression that showed she was completely familiar with Sakagami Taku, and raised a finger and said, "Taku, how should I put it? He's that kind of delicate, delicate, delicate, delicate, delicate, with a little bit of pride." (Delicate here refers to gentleness, not shyness)

Ijichi Hongka's inner thoughts: She is completely opposite to my sister.

Hearing these words, Shoko Toyokawa felt a little amused.

When it comes to Sakagami Taku, Ijichi Nijika naturally has endless topics to talk about, but before that, she said, "But Xiaoxiang, if you want to understand someone, you can't rely on others to tell you. I can only tell you some things about Taku and me, but the real secrets of Taku are up to you, Xiaoxiang."

Upon hearing this, Shoko Toyokawa nodded seriously.

She was naturally aware of this.

Seeing that she understood what he meant, Ijichi Hongxia also smiled: "Listen to me, listen to me, when I first met Taku, he......"

The past described by Ijichi Hongxia was not full of earth-shaking events, nor did it have any great ups and downs.

Ordinary life and the past are mixed with the joys and sorrows of life, like a knowing smile when both parties look at each other when they make mistakes, like an umbrella held side by side in the wind and rain, like the inadvertent little surprises in ordinary days, like every evening when they walk side by side under the sunset.

She didn't mention that Taku Sakagami was a video blogger, that his father had passed away, or that he owed a lot of debts.

Yes, they are just various interesting and memorable memories that happened after I met Taku Sakagami.

However, Shoko Toyokawa listened to all this carefully, and her understanding of Taku Sakagami was slowly changing.

As time passed, Shoko Toyokawa gradually understood why she felt uncomfortable in her chest and why she had strange emotions when she saw the photo.

Looking at Ijichi Nikka who seemed to have endless topics to talk about with Sakagami Taku at this moment.

Shoko Toyokawa completely understood that it was one of the seven deadly sins that came from the deepest part of human heart.

However, all these emotions eventually dissipated slowly as Ijichi Hongxia narrated the past.

The two continued chatting until there was a knock on the door.

Ijichi Nikka walked over to open the door with a clatter of slippers, and then saw Sakagami Taku outside:

"Oh~Taku, Xiaoxiang-chan is in there."

After seeing Sakagami Taku, Toyokawa Shoko stood up nervously for some reason: "Um, the clothes from before..."

Just now, Ijichi Hongka talked about a lot of interesting things related to Sakagami Taku, so when she saw him now, she subconsciously thought of the word "tsundere" that Ijichi Hongka said.

Sakagami Taku looked at the two people with a suspicious look on his face: "What did you talk about?"

I just sneezed all the way here, and I seriously doubt you have any bad things to say about me.

Ichichi Hongxia put her index finger to her lips, blinked and said cutely: "Secret~~"

Sakagami Taku leaned in close to Hongxia and whispered in her ear, "You didn't tell her about my part-time job at STARRY, did you?"

Sakagami Taku didn't want anyone else to know about this embarrassing thing.

Hong Xia's face showed confusion: "Huh? Do you want to say it? It feels pretty good. This way, Xiao Xiang-chan can also order Tuo when she goes there tonight."
