Gravity Girl Shining

"In fact, this well has been filled in a long time ago. There is only less than one meter of compacted soil below the well mouth."

Chihaya Aine also came over skipping and jumping.

"The prank was a success! Rikki's reaction was so cute! Soyorin's reaction was a bonus."

Even Takamatsu Deng smiled at Chihaya Aine's teasing. Although she didn't interact much with her classmates, as a stone collector and insect enthusiast on campus, she was aware that the well had long been filled, so she wasn't worried at all.

After all, there is no sunlight in the well, which is very suitable for the survival of watermelon worms.

"you!"

Shiina Riki was so ashamed and angry that he rushed up and punched Uehara Hibiki in the chest.

"Asshole! Pervert! Go to hell! You scared me to death!"

"Lixi, Sushi, I'm very touched."

Uehara Hibiki let her vent and changed his tone again.

"You actually rushed to save me even though you knew there was a ghost. This love is so great. It's so great to be your boyfriend!"

Nagasaki Suyo also calmed down at this time and couldn't help but sigh.

"This prank is too childish. Besides, I don't believe in ghosts. I'm just worried that Xiang might slip and fall into the well. That would be scarier than ghosts."

"That being said, the anxiety on Soyorin's face just now was undeniable."

Faced with Aine's continuous teasing, Nagasaki Suyo couldn't help but twist Uehara Hibiki's waist.

"So, what is the truth about this well?"

Uehara Hibiki cleared his throat and began to explain.

"Actually, the truth behind this legend is quite simple. A few years ago, Seta Kaoru-san from the Haneda Drama Club was practicing her lines here in costume. The character she was playing happened to be wearing a black gauze dress and a red flower brooch. As for the ghost constantly shouting about finding a grave, it's actually because Seta Kaoru-san's catchphrase, 'Dream (Hakana),' sounds similar to 'grave'."

Nagasaki Suyo couldn't help but hold his forehead.

"So there weren't any ghosts at all... It was just too dark because there were no lights. The students passing by only saw silhouettes and heard bits and pieces of voices, and then they spread the rumor that it was a ghost."

"As for the rumor that the student was dragged into the well..."

Uehara Hibiki blinked and couldn't help laughing.

"Hina Hikawa, the former head of the Astronomy Club, was actually the 'victim.' She had nothing better to do in the middle of the night and came out to explore. She actually scared Kaoru Seta, who was practicing, and they both panicked and fell into the well."

The truth of the matter is often so simple and plain. An accident between two people was turned into a horror story due to rumors.

In this regard, Shiina Riki said.

"This prank isn't funny! Hibiki! Aine!"

"Sorry, sorry! The prank is over."

Aine raised her hands in surrender with a grin.

"But Li Xi is really cute when he's scared."

When everyone got back on the road, Shiina Riki was still angry and deliberately kept a distance from Uehara Hibiki, but he was no longer as scared.

Uehara Hibiki walked at the end, his eyes fixed on Aine's cheerful figure in front of him, a meaningful smile curling up at the corner of his mouth.

(The fake incident is over, and next, there will be a "surprise" that even Aine won't know about.)

The night wind rustled through the treetops once more, as if chuckling at some unknown secret. In the distance, the club building shone coldly in the moonlight, awaiting these uninvited visitors.

When Uehara Hibiki opened the lock of the first-floor door, a clear piano sound came from inside the building.

Seeing the girls stop involuntarily, Uehara Hibiki smiled and pushed open the door.

"Oh, what a coincidence! The Astronomy Department and the Music Room are in the same building. Speaking of which, the "Late Night Piano Sound," one of the Seven Wonders, probably refers to this situation."

“Hmph, another prank? Aine, I’m telling you…”

Shiina Riki swallowed his words halfway through, because the panicked expression on Aine's face didn't seem like she was acting.

"No, this is really not arranged by us..."

Chihaya Aine's voice also began to tremble.

"This music?"

Kaname Lenai suddenly walked out from the middle of the team, ignoring Li Xi's questioning, walked to Uehara Hibiki's side, listened carefully, and then... put down her guitar case and prepared to play a duet on the spot.

"Lena! This is not allowed!"

Chihaya Aine reacted instantly and called Shiina Riki to help. The two of them held down the restless cat girl.

Are you kidding me? It was creepy enough to hear the eerie and legendary piano sound in the middle of the night, but Kaname actually had a burst of inspiration and prepared to perform a live ensemble. Even someone as brave as Aine felt that this behavior was a bit suicidal.

"lamp?"

Just as they were trying to suppress Mao Mao, they heard Su Shi's scream and Takamatsu Deng broke away from the main group, rushed into the club building and ran towards the stairs.

"Light!" ×2.

Shiina Riki's vision suddenly went dark, but this time he didn't care about being afraid. He pulled Aine, who was also shocked, and the two of them rushed over.

The Yuqiu Women's Running Competition has officially begun!

Uehara Hibiki took out matcha candy and comforted Lena, who was unhappy about not being able to play the piano, and turned to look at Nagasaki Suyo.

"Su Shi, why don't you follow?"

"Are you running in a race with the past?"

Nagasaki Suyo could see that there was no peace tonight.

"Since your boyfriend isn't worried, I naturally don't think anything will happen to the lamp."

"Humph."

By the time the three of them slowly arrived at the music classroom upstairs, the sound of the piano became more and more obvious.

I saw Shiina Riki and Chihaya Aine standing on either side of the music classroom door, like two door gods.

"Are you sure the light is in?"

"I saw it with my own eyes, Rikki. If you're scared... shall we go in together?"

"Who's scared? Fight for the light!"

With Shiina Riki's battle cry, the door of the music classroom was pushed open, and then as if by magic, Shiina Riki could no longer move his body.

In the moonlight, the girl sat in front of the piano and played the song "Moonlight".

That figure is the same as before.

"Good evening, Lixi."

Toyokawa Shoko said so.

Chapter 118: Toyokawa Shoko is not afraid of strange stories.

In the empty music classroom, Shoko Toyokawa raised her head from the piano. Her blue twin ponytails shone coldly in the moonlight, and her golden pupils were like a portal to a mysterious realm, captivating everyone.

To be honest, she did have the aura of a female ghost. Even though Uehara Hibiki knew she was here in advance, he couldn't help but be a little scared.

As she gently closed the piano lid and stood up, her slender limbs moved in the moonlight, like a dance, or like a puppet controlled by invisible strings, with a strange and charming elegance.

"Greetings, everyone."

"Xiangzi!"

In front of the piano, Takamatsu Deng excitedly held Toyokawa Shoko's hand.

"It's Xiangzi! I knew it was you the moment I heard the piano music."

"Oh, I see! Tomorin wasn't attracted by a ghost... he recognized Shoko-kun from the piano music."

Although Chihaya Aine tried her best to ease the atmosphere, behind her, the expressions of Shiina Tatsuki and Nagasaki Motoyo became complicated. Facing these two, Toyokawa Shoko also looked away awkwardly.

Faced with this situation, Chihaya Aine could only continue to find topics in an exaggerated tone.

"What is Xiangzi doing playing the piano here so late at night? It's scary."

Toyokawa Shoko was stunned at first, and looked at Uehara Hibiki behind the crowd, but he had an expression of "you decide" on his face, so she had to keep the real reason to herself.

"It was Uehara who invited me to join the Astronomy Club's comet observation activity. He said Deng wanted to invite me but was just too embarrassed to say it out loud. Since it was Deng's request, I naturally agreed. However, I arrived a little early, so I just waited here."

Toyokawa Shoko thought these words were appropriate and perfect. After all... she couldn't let anyone know no matter what. The "eldest daughter of the Toyokawa family," Toyokawa Shoko, actually came to school to play the piano after finishing her 8-hour weekend job. She accidentally got absorbed in it and missed the time to leave, and was locked in the club building by the security guard!

Fortunately, she contacted Uehara Hibiki in time and learned that the Astronomy Department was observing a comet tonight, and that she only needed to wait a little longer to be saved. Therefore, Toyokawa Shoko continued to play the piano calmly in the music classroom. Although the appearance of Suyo and Riki was unexpected, it didn't matter. Toyokawa Shoko was still the perfect and elegant lady today.

Her secret will never be revealed.

However, due to her self-proclaimed perfect excuse, the looks of several members of the MyGo band towards her suddenly became more complicated.

If I remember correctly, the reason why Deng invited everyone was.

"Since everyone will be Hibiki's harem in the future... let's make a wish together."

So, is Toyokawa Shoko also a concubine in Uehara Hibiki's harem? Or is she a reserve concubine?

Takamatsu Deng's eyes lit up instantly. Since Toyokawa Shoko came over on her own initiative, did it mean that she also agreed to join the harem?

"This is outrageous. Even Xiangzi..."

Shiina Riki's face was filled with disbelief. Nagasaki Motoyo turned back to look at Uehara Hibiki, recalling how many times she had asked Uehara Hibiki to contact Shoko. Was it from that time? Or even earlier?

"Haha, actually I expected it. After all, every day at school, we can really feel it when we see each other."

Chihaya Aine didn't say much. She didn't have any special filters for Toyokawa Shoko, and with their daily interactions as a foundation, she accepted it quickly. It was just another sister to share Uehara Hibiki's story with, and Chihaya Aine could handle it.

Noticing that everyone's expressions were a little strange, Toyokawa Shoko reviewed her answer in confusion. As long as Uehara Hibiki didn't tear her down, her answer would be completely flawless.

I must be too nervous and have an illusion.

Looking at the gaze that Toyokawa Shoko was looking at him, Uehara Hibiki tried hard to hold back his laughter. He didn't expect that Toyokawa Shoko would find such a heavyweight excuse.

"Yes, it was Xiangzi who was invited by me. Although Xiangzi was hesitant, she still came. However, she hasn't made up her mind yet. By the way, please don't get me wrong, we are just ordinary friends now."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone understood that, just like Shiina Tatsuki before, he was a stubborn tsundere.

As a result, everyone's eyes suddenly warmed up when they looked at Toyokawa Shoko.

Even the former tsundere king Shiina Riki is no exception. Although she is still stubbornly refusing to accept a harem, she has already admitted that she is one of Uehara Hibiki's official girlfriends. This is where she is better than Toyokawa Shoko.

Tatsuki Shiina overcame his inferiority complex towards Shoko Toyokawa in a bizarre way.

Finally, it was Chihaya Aine's lively voice that broke the silence.

"Come to think of it, isn't Xiangzi afraid of the legend of the late-night piano?"

“Aine-san, we talked about this before. In my opinion, that kind of stuff is just nonsense.”

Shoko Toyokawa straightened her back and regained her proud demeanor as a young lady.

"Ghosts and monsters don't exist. This world is scientific and doesn't have any supernatural powers."

Uehara Hibiki, who possesses the power of the system, is trying hard to hold back his laughter.

"and many more."

Nagasaki Suyo suddenly opened her eyes wide.

"Xiangzi, you've played the piano at night before, right?"

"Occasionally."

Shoko Toyokawa couldn't help but frown slightly and carefully considered her words.

"School regulations state that the music classroom is for students to use freely. Although this is the venue for the wind band club's activities, they don't have activities every day."

For Toyokawa Shoko, who had given up wealth, the piano in the music room was the most convenient solace for her hands when they itched to play. She would occasionally finish her part-time job, even delaying dinner, just to come here and play for a few minutes.

Nagasaki Suyo's eyes suddenly lit up, as if she had found some truth.

"So, just like the origin of the legend about the old well ghost is a senior from the drama club, I wonder if Xiangzi is the source of the piano legend?"

"what?"

Toyokawa Shoko looked incredulous.

Shiina Riki suddenly became alert.
