Gravity Girl Shining

Gao Song's lantern burned out again, and the sentences that came out of his mouth began to become intermittent.

Lantern, I am a super firework, blooming at full power for only a moment, Toyokawa-san, as a former young lady, you can start to appreciate mono no aware.

Of course, Toyokawa Shoko didn't hear Uehara Hibiki's inner complaints. She just closed the notebook, put it next to her, and then showed a gentle smile that Uehara Hibiki had never seen before.

"Deng, thank you. I'll take your notes."

What a dazzling light, completely different from the one who looked down on Hei Xiangzi with cold eyes!

An invincible sense of contrast?

Uehara Hibiki felt like flying, as for the lights? She flew higher than high.

Those big eyes sparkled and shone brightly.

Could it be that during the CRYCHIC period, Xiangzi has always been charming everyone in his white form?

That's not surprising.

After a slight pause, Bai Xiang gently stroked the cover of the notebook and continued to express his thoughts.

"Deng, you misunderstood. I never blamed you. I left CRYCHIC for my own reasons. What I said that day was just an impulse, so I want to apologize to you. Even now, I can still come out. Deng's singing, your inner cry, I love it."

"Ugh?"

Ignoring Deng's shock, Toyokawa Shoko stood up gracefully and walked towards the door of the activity room, but was blocked by the door lock.

Seeing Toyokawa Shoko glaring at him, Uehara Hibiki quickly responded.

"Since we're here, why not have lunch before leaving?"

I asked you to open the door!

Although Toyokawa Shoko didn't say anything, her thoughts and eyes spoke volumes.

Humph, before, don’t even think about leaving easily.

Uehara flicked his keys loudly and stuffed them into his pocket. "What do you think? Do you dare to pull my pants off, Miss?"

mean!

So what if it's despicable!

After a few brief eye contact, Toyokawa Shoko is forced to face reality and return to the table, awaiting Takamatsu's judgment. Uehara Hibiki not only wants to dispel Takamatsu's remorse but also uses this opportunity to make Toyokawa Shoko look him in the face and smooth things over. Want to escape?

Toyokawa-san, you can't escape.

After a long time, Gao Songdeng's single-threaded brain finally completed the multi-threaded operation with great difficulty.

Xiangzi, please forgive me.

Xiangzi's was just a misunderstanding.

Xiangzi actually didn't blame me.

Xiangzi, she still agrees with my song!

Even though his mind was still unclear, his surging emotions immediately directed his body to react, and large tears fell onto the table.

"Xiangzi! Thank you!"

Nearly a year after CRYCHIC disbanded, Takamatsu Deng cried for the first time. But she was no longer filled with sadness, but was instead enveloped in joy.

She finally found the treasure worth crying for.

"Light! Don't cry."

Toyokawa Shoko was also beginning to lose control. She handed her handkerchief to the lamp, but her vision was also blurry. She hurriedly stood up, bit her lip, turned her head away, and forced the tears to stay in her eyes.

No wonder Toyokawa Shoko didn't dare to look at the notebook before. Obviously, she wasn't that cold-blooded and heartless. She always had weaknesses. Toyokawa Shoko had cried out in her heart several times when she saw the lyrics of Takamatsu Deng. If she had looked at the notebook just now, she would have burst into tears.

Even if you put up a black shell and hurt others with bad words, you will still hurt them, but inside the shell, you still have that gentle heart.

Shoko Toyokawa walked to the door again, and this time there were tears and pleading in her eyes.

So, Uehara Hibiki did not stop her and quietly opened the door lock.

Although her defenses were penetrated by Deng's tears, only one of the many chains that trapped Toyokawa Shoko was now untied, which was enough to reach a reconciliation with Deng.

No, Deng, there are other members of CRYCHIC, and now this soft and sticky Xiangzi will be enjoyed by me, an accomplice, alone.

"Deng, now it's your turn to hold my hand, not mine. I wish you happiness."

Before walking out of the activity room, Shoko Toyokawa left her last words in the backlight, preserving her final dignity and elegance.

The door then closed again, but Uehara Hibiki could hear the girl crying softly on the other side of the door.

Chapter 13 Why Play...

Uehara Hibiki listened quietly to the sounds outside the door until he was sure that the crying had stopped and the footsteps were gradually fading away.

After wiping away her tears, Shoko Toyokawa will probably put on a cold expression again and face her life.

As for Takamatsu Deng, having resolved her emotional issues, she will surely have more courage to face the future, which is a cause for celebration. Uehara Hibiki stayed by Deng's side, comforting her while checking the system changes.

[The host has completed Gao Songdeng's wish and randomly selected related skills.]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the purple skill, Basic Series: Inspiration LV4.]

【高松灯攻略进度+15，现为40/100，超越一阶段情感阈值（30/100），获取额外奖励：纯爱之心×10。】

[Toyokawa Shoko's strategy progress +10, now 20/100.]

Beyond the threshold, look at the keywords, Uehara Hibiki laughs happily, it feels great.

Didn't Toyokawa Shoko's wish come true? That's right, she wished for Takamatsu Touma to be happy, but now Touma has only just emerged from the shadows and hasn't yet released her sparkle, so it's only halfway fulfilled.

There is no direction. Just like what Toyokawa Shoko suggested, we should let Takamatsu Tou stand on the stage again and release the inner cry. Borrowing the memory of Nagasaki Sushi, Uehara Hibiki heard Takamatsu Tou's singing "with his own ears", which is indeed very powerful.

Planning for a professional band and deciding on the lead singer.

Gradually, Gao Songdeng stopped crying. She wiped her tears with her handkerchief and then solemnly put it away.

"I need to take it home, wash it, and give it to Xiaoxiang tomorrow."

Okay, Toyokawa Shoko left in a hurry and forgot to take her handkerchief with her. We’ll meet again next time.

Everyone cried today, Toyokawa Xiangzi, can you bear to act cold tomorrow? We are all in the same school. As long as the lights can continue to attack, there is a chance to revive the gentle Bai Xiang.

"Thank you for helping me, Uehara-san."

Deng thanked her and followed closely behind, the corners of the girl's mouth slightly raised, revealing... probably a smile.

"It's okay, we're friends." Uehara Hibiki thought of the key words and was a little bolder.

"Time for lunch, Lantern."

Gao Songdeng felt embarrassed, then nodded with a slightly red face.

"Yeah, loud."

…………

In the next few days, life seemed to return to its previous track, going to school, rehearsing and working, with only some things changing quietly.

Takamatsu Deng's spirits are improving, and her adorable smiles are making her a favorite among her classmates. The reputation of Class A's little animal is growing, even attracting students from other classes. Perhaps soon, she'll evolve into a feathered animal.

As for Nagasaki Suyo and Shiina Tatsuki… Surprisingly, Hibiki Uehara hadn't encountered them on several occasions during his visits to RING, only sending regular text messages to check on the situation with the lights. It seemed as if they truly trusted him completely, or perhaps they had been fooled by his despicable plan to report him to the teacher.

If Ye Mu remained silent, as long as Uehara Hibiki didn't send a message to say hello, she would be as if she didn't exist.

There is Toyokawa Shoko, who seems to be indifferent to Uehara Hibiki at school, but...

"I didn't expect you to come here, Blue Hair. Now is not a good time for students to wander around."

In the supermarket, Uehara Hibiki leaned on the shelf and teased Toyokawa Shoko who was wearing casual clothes.

"Thanks to the information from Mr. Giant, the bento here is much cheaper than at the station. Even if you can't get it at half price, it's still economical to buy it at full price." Shoko Toyokawa answered without sounding serious, but in a sarcastic tone.

"Besides, isn't Mr. Giant also a student? In the eyes of others, Mr. Giant is not a good student. It seems to be questionable."

What about Toyokawa Shoko, the soft and sticky white Shoko? Is it only available for a limited time at Takamatsu Lantern?

Bu Hei Xiang's venomous tongue and that look of contempt also have their own unique flavor.

"Just kidding, I just worked overtime today."

"Well, I thought you were going to join the half-price bento competition."

"That's absolutely out of the question."

Toyokawa Shoko walked to the counter, quickly picked out her target, and returned to the shelf. Uehara Hibiki looked at the lights outside and couldn't help but ask another question.

"Last time, Lan sent you a letter asking you to be careful when walking at night. Is it okay if you come at a different time today?"

"So, I'm waiting for Mr. Giant to get off work."

An unexpected straight shot.

In the next round, Uehara Hibiki retreated repeatedly, and Toyokawa Shoko just smiled gently.

"I remember there was someone there before, our friend."

Switching between black and white, is Toyokawa Shoko lethal?

Be enchanted!

Uehara Hibiki suffered a crushing defeat.

Coincidentally, the nine o'clock bell rang, allowing him to escape.

…………

On the return tram, unlike the last time when they stared at each other, this time they sat on the same side of the carriage.

"Actually, I don't quite understand Uehara-san." Toyokawa Shoko couldn't help but laugh at the new Band-Aid on Uehara Hibiki's body. "I heard you were hiring a band and even participating in a live performance, all to get a part-time job at a supermarket and grab half-price bento. Keyboard players are so valuable."

"Maybe it's some kind of persistence." Uehara Hibiki recalled the story at the beginning of his time travel. It was very unfortunate but also very lucky to meet a kind-hearted store manager.

"Humanity is a matter of righteousness, and debts must be made. I quite like it there; it feels like I'm not working, but just enjoying life. As for the half-price lunch boxes, don't you find it exciting? Some people enjoy music, some enjoy art, and some simply enjoy competing for the prize. No matter what, I'll also pay attention to protecting it. Thank you for your concern."

"Uehara-san, you like that supermarket."

"."

Aside from the new acquaintances he'd made since the start of school, Uehara Hibiki's entire social circle was essentially confined to that supermarket. Despite his registered residence and education, he had no memories of his hometown, no family, and no friends. It was the store manager, the other employees, and the regular customers vying for their half-price bento boxes that first connected them in this world.

His life in this world started from that supermarket.

An idea came to Uehara Hibiki's mind: he wanted to write a song for him.

"Toyokawa-san, I have a suggestion. I work part-time here every day anyway. If you do the same as today, go a little further to buy your lunch box, and then I'll take you home, you can work an extra hour every day."

"That's a good idea. The difference in the price of the bento can earn me an extra hourly wage." Toyokawa Shoko pondered for a moment, and it seemed like she was making a profit. "What do you want?"

"Toyokawa-kun is my friend, so there's no need for anything else. Although I do want to, I do have a request."

Uehara Hibiki took a deep breath, it was the time to gamble.

"Please ask Toyokawa-san to guide me in composing."

Toyokawa Shoko wasn't surprised that Uehara Hibiki knew he could compose music. She had originally decided to divest herself of everything belonging to CRYCHIC, but after Takamatsu Touma caught up with her, she couldn't help but waver a little.

“It’s only for beginners, and only half an hour a day.”

"Great!"

Seeing Uehara Hibiki's overflowing joy, Toyokawa Shoko couldn't help but hum along. "Beforehand, learning to compose music is difficult. Not everyone has the talent. If you can't learn..."

"That's impossible." Uehara Hibiki spoke confidently. Nonsense, he has a cheater. Theoretically, he can upgrade by smashing the props. If he only considers the cost-effectiveness, it is better to learn it for the beginners.

"I am a wolf, a wolf that is always chasing victory, and victory is in my pocket."

"Then I'll wait and see."

…………

Back at the apartment, Toyokawa Shoko came to Uehara Hibiki's room for the third time, but this time the feeling was completely different from before.

"I'm going to start." ×2

This was also the second time the two of them had dinner together.

Although it was an empty and small apartment, and although it was a cheap supermarket lunch box, just the two of them sitting at the same table felt like home.

I don't think that even if Toyokawa Shoko gets married in the future, she will be the kind of strong woman who works hard outside. Yes, she just happens to have housework skills, so wouldn't she be more suitable for the position of a househusband?
