Comet Dragon, breaking into the gravity field

Knowing the consequences of agreeing, Ritsu Narose politely refused just like he did to Rakuna.

However, lamps and cats are different after all.

The casual cat will wait until the next time he is in high spirits to attack again, but once the gravity field is deployed, it will never disappear easily.

Hearing Naruse Ritsu's second rejection, Takamatsu Deng's expression couldn't help but darken a little: "Because I'm not like Aine and the others..."

Upon hearing this, Mingse Ritsu was about to speak but stopped.

Today's moral standards still gnawed at his conscience like ants, preventing him from suddenly doing anything drastic. He couldn't say anything inappropriate at this moment, so he could only internally rebuke his own hypocrisy while accepting Deng's invitation.

“In that case, let’s also bring the cake for Aine and the others. We can stop by the livehouse while we’re there.”

"No."

It was the first time that he saw such a terrifying possessive power appear in a small animal. Mingse Ritsu almost rubbed his eyes and wondered if he had fallen asleep.

"Well...eating and drinking are prohibited in the recording studio."

That's fine.

There was indeed such a rule—though Ritsu Naruse had never followed it before. Unlike snacks like cakes and candies, bringing them in right in front of the store staff was a bit excessive.

"If you don't mind, you can all go directly to my house."

The words "catch them all in one swoop" came out of his mouth, and a vast gravitational field instantly descended on the Sky Comet Dragon, leaving him no room to resist the gushing gas.

No, it would be better to say that this was a trap that even Gu Long was not aware of.

"Will I disturb you..."

Although he was still being polite, Narose Ritsu had already shown some interest - after all, accompanying Takamatsu Deng home alone was different from accompanying Takamatsu Deng home with a group of people.

Thinking this way, he finally agreed to Takamatsu Deng's plan.

Half an hour later, when sitting on the sofa in the living room of the Takamatsu family, facing Takamatsu Deng's parents, Ritsu Narose will recall the afternoon when he and Riki Shiina talked about relationships between men and women.

49. Behind the natural barrier of the Yangtze River——

Takamatsu Deng's father is thin, and so is her mother - both of them exude a warm and friendly temperament in their home clothes.

Perhaps it was because he grew up under the protection of such a family that Deng was able to safely pass through that not-so-wonderful period of loneliness.

It is easy to feel stressed when you are with such people, but it is unlikely that you will feel stressed.

Because she knows that Deng's parents must care about Deng, Ritsu Narose has a subtle sense of guilt about things related to them.

When Takamatsu Deng was taken out of the living room by her mother, Narose Ritsu, who always felt that she should do something, simply put the cake she had been holding in her hand on the coffee table.

"Come to think of it... I've heard Deng mention Naruse-kun several times, but today was the first time I got the chance to meet him."

The action of opening the cake box was forced to stop, and Ritsu Narose could only give an awkward but polite smile to face Deng's father.

“This cake…”

"She did it herself."

Without deliberately boasting about his own contribution, Ritsu Naruse simply talked about the various efforts that Takamatsu Touma had made during the production process.

"I've never heard of making cakes for a lantern festival. I guess you put a lot of effort into it?" Although his daughter suddenly came home with a friend of the opposite sex, as a father, he still maintained a gentle expression.

Based on his understanding of his daughter, Deng is not someone who would easily trust strangers. However, as a father, he cannot let his guard down easily.

However, as he was quietly putting up an iron wall, his wife came out of the kitchen with their daughter, and was surprised to see their daughter's latest masterpiece.

As we all know, in the eyes of parents, "whether or not something is done" is sometimes more important than "how well it is done." Seeing that her daughter had mastered such a skill without knowing when, Mrs. Takamatsu's vigilance gradually decreased.

Unfortunately, he is now like the defender of the Eastern Wu. Even if he puts up iron chains across the river, he cannot rely on the natural barrier of the Yangtze River to hold this last line of defense.

Being taken to the kitchen by his wife, Gao Songdeng's father was still thinking about how to defeat the enemy - at the very least, he had to fight him to a 50-50 draw.

Seeing her husband lost in his own little world of thought, his expression was almost identical to her daughter's. Gao Songdeng's mother smiled slightly before tentatively asking, "Do you think there's something strange about Deng?"

"Lights? Weird?"

His attention was completely attracted by the young man whose name he had long heard of and whose true appearance he had just seen today. Gao Songdeng's father did not understand what his wife meant by this.

It might sound a bit extreme, but it wasn't uncommon for his daughter to act strangely - as a father, he was used to it.

"Deng's eyes have been following him all the time. They don't look like ordinary friends at all..." Takamatsu Deng's mother stopped preparing dinner temporarily, and her expression looked a little subtle.

My daughter, who had never had many friends before, suddenly filled up the progress bar of making friends at a very fast speed, and at the same time lit up another branch. Isn't this speed a bit too fast?

Although I had heard my daughter mention her friend before, it was still difficult to remain calm when facing her in person.

……

In the living room of the Takamatsu family, Ritsu Narose unexpectedly received an invitation from Takamatsu Touma and was about to step into her room.

Even if Deng lacks this knowledge in her common sense, her parents should know the meaning of inviting the opposite sex of the same age into a private space, right?

But nothing happened.

The kitchen was quiet, like the silence before a storm.

Ritsu Narose wanted to eavesdrop on what was going on over there, but was worried that he might hear something inappropriate, so he had to give up.

So the question is, should I accept Deng’s invitation?

He looked back at the kitchen and saw that the two pairs of eyes that were originally leaning on the door frame to observe the situation on his side disappeared again. He thought that Deng's parents probably agreed?

No matter what, as long as you are upright, you have nothing to fear.

Thinking this, Ritsu Narose followed the girl into her boudoir.

"Please, please come in." After opening the door, Gao Songdeng's face was a little nervous and shy - this was the first time she had hosted someone other than her family in her room.

Ritsu Narushe had done this enough times of "entering a girl's room", so he remained calm after entering.

Just a glance around and you can get a general idea of ​​the information in the room.

How should I put it? Takamatsu Deng’s room is more like a “secret base” in a child’s dream than a “bedroom”.

The room isn't huge, but the design of a bed with a desk underneath leaves ample room for use. A wide variety of collectibles are neatly arranged throughout the room, making good use of the height differences without creating a feeling of crowding.

It can be seen that their owner is taking good care of them.

"Telescope?" Suddenly noticing a telescope in the corner of the room, Mingse Ritsu immediately remembered Deng's love for astronomy.

"On clear nights, we sometimes look at the stars." With his right hand gently resting on the telescope, Takamatsu Deng wanted to let Naruse Ritsu try it out, but then he remembered that it was not dark yet.

Standing in the room, she suddenly felt panic-stricken and at a loss.

Realizing that he had forgotten to prepare drinks for the guests, Gao Songdeng hurried out of the room again, and returned to the room after a while with a large box of milk and two cups.

It was the first time I invited other people to my room, and the feeling of being with friends was even more special than usual.

Wearing shorts, revealing her cute pink legs touching the cold floor, Takamatsu Deng sat on the floor with a serious face, the expression on her face like a magical girl who had just joined the industry.

Facts have proven that people are not content with the status quo. Even if they are temporarily satisfied, their subconscious mind will still pursue a higher existence.

Even if their nest is overflowing with fruit, a squirrel storing food for the winter won't easily be satisfied. Takamatsu Deng, whose temperament resembles that of a small animal, doesn't seem to be aware of this; she simply feels that something is missing from the current atmosphere.

Trying hard to find common topics between himself and Ritsu Narose, Deng Takamatsu soon turned his attention to the notebook on the table.

If you don't know what to talk about, just discuss the lyrics.

The girl stood up, and as she took a step, her little feet wrapped in cotton socks produced a friction motion with the floor that could be used as a high school physics problem.

However, the knowledge point of "transfer of force" was interrupted by Ritsu Naruse before it could even appear.

Looking at the girl who threw herself into his arms, he realized for the first time that although Deng had not yet reached the age of an adult, he already possessed some of the qualities that only adults have.

Looking at the little animal that silently raised its head, he felt another wave of nervous trembling coming from his arms.

50. First is the virtue of temperance

Ritsu Narose had not noticed this before, but now, when he smelled the scent that symbolized Takamatsu Touma, felt the soft touch and the frequency of the vibrations, all of this made him pay attention.

The charming atmosphere did not last long. He restrained himself and released the girl's arms, allowing her to stand firmly on the floor.

If we use games as an analogy, Ritsu Naruse believes that he prefers RPG games with development elements - constantly improving his own level, then improving the favorability of the target through side quests, and finally catching all the characters with enough favorability.

This is the virtue of temperance!

He covered his face with the notebook. After a long while, Gao Songdeng moved the notebook away when he felt the heat on his face gradually subside. He was like a small animal that had slept for a whole winter and left its warm nest, now nervously facing the outside world.

However, in this small room, the familiar objects quickly made her relax and reminded her of what she was supposed to do.

While turning the page with the feather bookmark on it, Gao Songdeng talked about the difficulties he encountered when writing lyrics.

"Not real enough? But why should it be real?" Repeating her confusion, Ritsu Naruse wondered why she had such an idea.

"Because, that was a real thing..." The girl seemed particularly nervous as she slowly expressed the confusion in her heart.

When writing lyrics before, Takamatsu Deng listened to Aine's advice - it is wrong to work in isolation. If you lack inspiration, you should take a break in time and collect good materials.

There are naturally countless literary and artistic works on the Internet. When Gao Songdeng read those works and their reviews, he often saw people using the word "real" when praising the works, as if this was a great honor.

After discovering this, she also saw similar comments in the comment section of Ritsu Narose.

So, do the lyrics I want to write also have to be true enough to match it?

She wanted her confusion to be resolved, but she was also worried that her behavior, which seemed to be too picky among others, would cause trouble for them.

After thinking carefully for a long time, Naruse Ritsu finally put forward his opinion: "What is 'real' in the eyes of one person may be 'false' in the eyes of another."

"Take Aine for example. A novice can perform a beautiful live performance after a short period of hard practice. This is a real thing for Aine, but it would be a fantasy to those who lack talent and hard work."

"There are billions of people in the world, and everyone naturally faces their own 'realities'. How can one single 'reality' encompass all of them?"

Even the stories written by Ritsu Narose himself only depict events that he experienced, rather than events he fabricated based on his imagination.

Even in his world, there weren't many who could experience such a rich tapestry of events. To those who had spent their entire lives confined to a corner, everything he experienced was no different from the stories spun by bards.

From the perspective of the author, one can naturally depict different realities as seen by different people. However, if one leaves this perspective, the reality that readers see is merely the reality that best fits their own lives.

The reason why people praise "truth" is because "truth" can resonate with themselves, and their mood will fluctuate accordingly. They will laugh for it and cry for it.

"Although this may sound a bit boastful, taking the novel I showed Deng as an example, the story there isn't limited to a single 'truth'—because different people's truths are inherently different. Differences objectively exist, and such 'differences' are also part of 'truth.'"

If someone else heard their conversation at this time, they would probably feel it was incredible, right?

But Ritsu Naruse believed that Tomo could understand the meaning of his words.

"If the light is causing anxiety because of this, then there is absolutely no need to worry."

"Perhaps there are people in the world who often feel lonely, just like I did back then. If I wrote the lyrics, I think they would be able to feel a real and moving truth, right?"

Staring blankly at the notebook in her hands, a warm feeling suddenly flowed through Takamatsu Deng's body. She suddenly had a lot of thoughts, but the complicated thoughts disappeared in an instant when she saw the look in Naruse Ritsu's eyes.

The afternoon sun shone on her body, making her feel a little hot.

Walking to the window, Gao Songdeng just pulled up the curtains, but the dim atmosphere in the room seemed even more strange. But if he opened the curtains again, it would be strange...

The single-threaded girl was struggling with this matter again.

Not noticing anything unusual with the lights, she discovered that her phone had received a new voice message, so she took out her Bluetooth headset and put it on her ears.

——"What's up with that dynamic of yours?"

Mixed in with the noisy ambient sounds, Chihaya Aine's voice rang out through the headphones.

News? What news?

Just as he typed a question mark, Ritsu Narose saw a link shared in the chat box between him and Aine.

It's his own Twitter account.

As you know, I've always been a fan of Sumi. I've played "Here, the world!" countless times at karaoke. I've been a fan of Sumi for a long time. These two idols are incredibly talented. Sometimes the decision is simple. After the advice of the library, I've decided to have Sumi perform the song for the upcoming novel release. Next weekend, there's an event hosted by FULLDRIVE Bunko in the morning, and my work will be sold there. I'll strive to create a positive image and achieve success in both literature and entertainment. I hope everyone will pay attention.

This is the business content that Ritsu Narose previously sent at the editor's request.

Looking through the comment section, although a bunch of question marks keep popping up from the comment section like leeks, the rest of the comments seem to be fine at first glance.

——[Alas, you are also rich, you can actually take advantage of the popularity of sumimi]

——【If you don’t understand, just ask, do the idols that the author is promoting know that you are promoting them? 】

——[Can I see the author at the scene?]

——[Hehe, just another slave controlled by the library——Also, is there a special edition for me to watch?! ]

——[How did you open the Banshee in the previous animation? I tried that position and it just didn’t work.]
