Gravity Girl Shining

Shiina Riki glared at him, but couldn't help touching his newly trimmed eyebrows.

"I just feel that she is more serious than I thought. I don't dislike people who work hard."

Ignoring the seriousness of Shiina Ritsuki, Chihaya Aine just excitedly raised her phone and spun it around.

"My AnonTokyo is finally about to have its first wave of publicity!"

Takamatsu Deng looked at Chihaya Aine's happy expression and felt happy for her from the bottom of his heart.

"Ano is already amazing, and I really like his costumes."

"Tomorin!"

Chihaya Aine immediately hugged Takamatsu Deng and rubbed her face against his, then looked at everyone.

"Don't worry, I have a feeling that after this conversation with Miao Meng, I'll be able to design new costumes for the performance!"

"No, that's not necessary, right? Aren't the original performance costumes good enough?"

This time it was Shiina Tatsuki's turn to complain.

"No! Just like a band needs to keep releasing new songs, new costumes are also essential! Rikki, just wait."

When it comes to her own AnonTokyo, Chihaya Aine refuses to give up an inch.

"Okay, okay, whatever you want. I'm not the one making the clothes anyway."

Despite saying this, Shiina Riki still remembered that Aine occasionally stayed up late when making the performance costumes last time.

"If you feel like you can't handle it, everyone in the band can help you."

"Rikki! I'm so touched!"

"Alright! Stop jumping on me!"

Even after saying that, Chihaya Aine suddenly rushed over and hugged the two of them.

"MyGo is the best! AnonTokyo is the best too!"

Yao Le Nai came over at some point and handed her cell phone directly to Uehara Hibiki, asking him to add Miao Meng's contact information to his phone.

It is really a cause for celebration that the two cats, one big and one small, have established a connection in this way.

Chapter 124: Shoko Toyokawa's new job.

The morning sun streamed into the room through the gaps in the curtains, and Uehara Hibiki slowly woke up to the soft touch. Toyokawa Shoko's slender fingers were gently pressing on his cheek. Seeing that he wanted to open his eyes, she immediately withdrew her hand, a blush appearing on her face.

"Hiroshi, time to get up."

Her voice was much softer than usual, after all, today was an unusual day.

As the weekend, it is the day when Uehara Hibiki and Toyokawa Shoko do not have to go to school and cannot enjoy free breakfast. It is also the day when they have more private time to use and work to make a living. It is also MyGo's regular LIVE day and Crychic's final farewell day.

Uehara Hibiki opened his eyes drowsily, his pupils contracted slightly in the morning light, and then focused on Xiangzi's face.

"Good morning, Xiangzi. What time is it now?"

"Eight o'clock."

Shoko Toyokawa was kneeling on the tatami. The apron on her body made her look like a housewife, which made Uehara Hibiki feel a little uneasy.

Uehara Hibiki stretched and sat up, then grabbed Xiangzi's waist and gave her a gentle good morning kiss as usual.

When he finished washing up, Shoko Toyokawa handed him a shirt tacitly.

"Okay, sit down, I made breakfast."

The small table was set with simple toast and fried eggs, along with black tea carefully brewed by Xiangzi. Although it wasn't sumptuous, it was warm and cozy. Uehara Hibiki asked as he ate.

"You kept it a secret from me last night. What surprise did you have for me?"

Toyokawa Shoko put down her chopsticks, her long blue hair shining brightly in the morning light. Then she cleared her throat and put on a proud attitude again.

"Hibiki, I've found a suitable job and can take my keyboard to the final interview this morning."

"Wow, that's amazing."

Uehara Hibiki's cheers were very perfunctory. After all, Toyokawa Shoko had given him too many similar "surprises" in recent days.

There is no doubt that Shoko Toyokawa possesses unparalleled musical talent, whether it is piano, electronic keyboard, or even composition, which is far beyond the ordinary professional masters.

But the problem was that she didn't have the relevant certificates. After all, when she was at the Toyokawa family, she played the piano purely for her own amusement and had never considered taking exams. This made her inferior to others in submitting her resume.

Of course, this is nothing, after all, Shoko Toyokawa is really capable, but another serious problem is that Shoko Toyokawa is still a minor, and her guardian is not only useless, but also a complete hindrance, and does nothing but drink every day.

Without any connections, she was a young and ignorant person who rushed around recklessly. Many of her business activities could not avoid her father, the magical guardian. In this respect, she was even worse than Uehara Hibiki, who was registered as an orphan.

Seeing Uehara Hibiki's perfunctory response, Toyokawa Shoko's face suddenly puffed up.

"Hmph, Xiang, this time is definitely different from before, after all..."

Toyokawa Shoko paused for a moment, but still admitted it frankly.

"This job was recommended by Shiina Maki-senpai."

"Maki-senpai..."

Uehara Hibiki nodded thoughtfully. Shiina Maki, Riki's older sister, was a well-known figure in the music industry, and her guarantee would certainly solve Xiangzi's problem of being underage and without a license.

Although I already knew they were connected, after all, it was Maki who recommended Shiina Riki to join Crychic. However, the fact that Toyokawa Riki actually learned to ask for help from others was the most rare thing.

"So what does the job involve?"

"One-on-one keyboard tutoring."

Toyokawa Shoko thought about it.

"I don't know the specific details of the person I'm teaching, but I know she's also a first-year high school girl. Maki-senpai said she's willing to make an exception and test my skills."

After breakfast, they both packed up. Toyokawa Shoko returned to her own house next door to change clothes. Although she was officially living with Uehara Hibiki, she still couldn't completely cut ties with her father.

Uehara Hibiki stood waiting at the door, his eyes unconsciously sweeping across the always-closed door. Ever since being kicked out of the Toyokawa family, the once high-spirited man had become a housebound drunkard.

Uehara Hibiki despised this useless man from the bottom of his heart, but he was Shoko's father after all, so Uehara Hibiki chose to respect Toyokawa Shoko's own choice. Although he was richer than before, Uehara Hibiki never took the initiative to mention moving away.

Toyokawa Shoko came out quickly. Her face was a little pale, probably because she had been stimulated by something again. However, it was a blessing that Uehara Hibiki did not hear the quarrel.

Seeing Xiangzi like this, Uehara Hibiki immediately grabbed her hand, took her downstairs quickly, and changed the subject.

"Speaking of which, do you know why keyboards have black and white keys?"

"Ok?"

Toyokawa Shoko was stunned for a moment.

“Because if you use only black keys.”

Uehara Hibiki said seriously.

"I can't see clearly during night practice..."

Toyokawa Shoko couldn't help laughing out loud.

"What a joke! It's not funny at all."

The smile in the sunshine diluted the haze in her eyes. The two walked side by side to the tram station. On Sunday streets, pedestrians were wrapped in a slow pace of comfort, and only the roar of the early morning tram occasionally broke the tranquility.

……

At the front desk of RING, a silver-haired girl was talking to a staff member. When she heard the door open, she turned around, her icy blue eyes widening slightly.

"Ah, is it Uehara-kun?"

"Wakamiya-senpai?"

Uehara Hibiki recognized the senior who worked at Yuze Coffee Shop. They had met many times.

Eve Wakamiya, the keyboardist for Pastel Palettes and a half-Japanese, half-Finnish returnee, wasn't wearing her school uniform today, but a simple white dress, her silver hair tied in an elegant low ponytail.

"What a coincidence."

She saluted with a smile, but her movements were like those of a samurai in a Yamato drama.

"Bushido emphasizes fate, and it seems we are indeed destined to be together."

After a brief greeting, Uehara Hibiki immediately realized something.

"Wait, Wakamiya-san is the judge for Xiangzi's interview today?"

"Exactly."

Wakamiya Eve nodded.

"I have been asked to assess Toyokawa-san's keyboard skills."

As he was speaking, a fashionable young woman hurriedly pushed the door open. She was wearing a mask and a baseball cap, but from her exposed long brown hair and delicate eyebrows, it was not difficult to recognize that she was a beauty.

"Sorry I'm late!"

The girl took off her mask and gave an apologetic smile.

"I was almost recognized by a fan on the way. I felt really bad for making Wakamiya-senpai wait."

"It's okay, Mio. There are still fifteen minutes until the agreed time. I just arrived early. The way of the samurai is to be punctual and trustworthy."

As if she noticed the gazes of Uehara Hibiki and Shoko, Wakamiya Eve immediately began to introduce. This is Serizawa Mio, the captain of PastelPalettes' sister group ViVid Canvas. She had just left her trainee status and officially debuted with the group not long ago.

It turns out that Xiangzi's private tutor this time is an idol. No wonder the other party has been emphasizing confidentiality.

Serizawa Mio looked at Uehara Hibiki in surprise, then extended her hand to Toyokawa Shoko.

"You must be Mr. Toyokawa, right? I'm Serizawa Mio, and I'm grateful for your guidance."

Suddenly, Uehara Hibiki's intuition began to flutter. This Serizawa Mio seemed to know him, but he obviously didn't know her. Was she a fan of the band?

Uehara Hibiki is not arrogant. After all, Serizawa Mio chose to meet at RING, which means she is quite familiar with this place, and MyGo has been very popular in RING recently.

Or maybe he was intimidated by Uehara Hibiki's reputation as the harem king... This possibility is also possible.

After Toyokawa Shoko returned the greeting gracefully, the four of them went to the practice room, and Serizawa Mio briefly explained her needs - in addition to the training arranged by the agency, she wanted to improve her keyboard skills privately.

"Isn't ViVid Canvas just an idol group that sings and dances? There shouldn't be any requirement for instrumental playing."

Uehara Hibiki looked at the information he had just searched on his mobile phone. He wanted to ask a few more questions and use his intuition to carefully judge it.

"I don't want to slack off just because I'm an idol. A true idol should strive for perfection in every area. Although there's no requirement to play an instrument right now, learning more techniques might come in handy in the future."

Serizawa Mio's purpose is very easy to understand. As a newcomer, she is not only uneasy about the future, but also has ambitions and dreams.

"Since Wakamiya-senpai is so amazing, why don't you just ask her to teach you?"

Toyokawa Shoko asked curiously.

Just as Wakamiya Eve was about to speak, Serizawa Mio rushed to answer.

"Seniors are all very busy. It's okay to ask for an occasional lesson, but long-term teaching should still be paid."

There was a hint of toughness in her smile.

"It is precisely because you are so gentle that I cannot push my luck any further."

Wakamiya Eve added gently.

"I can actually make time..."

"Thank you, senior."

Serizawa Mio shook her head firmly.

"But it was my decision."

So, Serizawa Mio chose to pay for her own private tutoring... rather than asking the agency to introduce her...

Uehara Hibiki keenly realized that this might involve issues of resource allocation within the firm, but he wisely did not ask any further questions.

Soon, the evaluation began. Toyokawa Shoko stood before the keyboard stand and took a deep breath. The moment her fingers touched the keys, her entire demeanor transformed. She played a pop idol song by Eve Wakamiya. Under her fingers, the melody flowed like flowing water, complex emotions conveyed through every note. Even Serizawa Mio, who had no experience with keyboards, was captivated.

After the last note fell, Wakamiya Eve was the first to applaud.

"This is amazing! This level of skill is definitely worth a professional debut!"

Serizawa Mio's eyes sparkled.

"Teacher Toyokawa, please teach me!"
