Girl band, because of the shining heart

"No, I found a really good ramen restaurant."

"……I knew it."

Jiuzhong Qianxiao couldn't help but cover his forehead and smiled.

Tomoe Ueda loves eating ramen, so in order to make delicious ramen for her, Chisato Kunou once went to learn how to make it. It wasn't just learning it once and then thinking she could do it, but she really and seriously learned it.

But she was basically always refused. According to her, after eating the ramen made by Kunou Chisato, she might not be able to eat any other ramen, so she had no intention of eating it. She would wait until she really wanted to eat it in the future and ask Kunou Chisato to make it for her again.

Therefore, she has been to almost every ramen restaurant once, and when she finds a delicious ramen restaurant, she will bring her childhood friends to eat there together, including Chisaki Kunou of course.

Of course, sometimes I would drag Jiuzhong Qianxiao to eat alone.

Just like now.

This is a mobile cart-style ramen shop, which, although rare nowadays, is not completely gone.

This type of ramen restaurant often does not require a fixed address, which allows for more freedom. At the same time, it can also cook ramen for office workers who have nowhere to eat after work in the evening.

"So, finish eating first?"

"Of course, this ramen shop is delicious!"

After ordering, Chisaki Kunou and Tomoe Ueda sat next to each other. Looking at the bright smile on Tomoe Ueda's face, you can tell that among people who like to eat ramen, getting such comments shows how good this ramen restaurant tastes.

Soon, the ramen they ordered was served.

"Okay, I'm starting to eat. Slurp, slurp!! Delicious!!"

Looking at Ueda Gawabone who was impatient, Kunou Chisato just smiled. After she tasted the first bite, with a happy look on her face, she turned her head to look at her ramen.

After all, his attention was on Tomoe Ueda just now, and he didn't even see what kind of person the owner was.

And now...

“The soup is crystal clear.”

The ramen soup is not cloudy, but clear.

"A soup base made from kelp and bonito flakes."

Refreshing with a hint of sweetness.

"Slurp! The ramen is chewy and delicious!"

After taking a mouthful of ramen noodles and feeling the taste of the ramen, Kunou Chisho widened her eyes slightly.

"See, I told you the ramen at this ramen shop is delicious!"

Although Uedagawa Tomoe didn't quite understand why Kunou Chisato could come to such a conclusion after just taking a look, taking a sip and taking a bite, when she saw Kunou Chisato say it was delicious with her eyes slightly widened, she finally smiled with pride.

“But it’s kind of familiar.”

Closing his eyes, slightly tilting his head back, and leaning his body back, Jiuzhong Qianxiao tapped the table with his left index finger, and began to recall where he had tasted this flavor before.

When the taste in his mouth matched the taste in his memory, he stopped tapping the table with his left index finger. He opened his eyes and looked at the owner who was busy behind the stall.

"teacher!?"

"Eh!? Someone you can call a teacher?"

As someone who grew up with Kunou Chisato, Ueda Gawab of course knew that Kunou Chisato would not easily call others teacher. After all, his talent was there. He would generally call those who taught him "sir". He would only call those who he had seriously learned from and thought there was something he could learn from them teacher.

Although he appears to be very gentle now, he is actually a very cold person, so there are only a handful of people he can call teacher.

No wonder Ueda Gawabata would make such an exclamation.

No wonder this ramen restaurant is so delicious.

"Forehead……"

"Why are you here?"

"Please don't ask me the reason."

After being recognized, the elderly grandmother turned away awkwardly and continued to work. Why would someone who was called a teacher by Jiuzhong Qianxiao be in this mobile ramen shop? And she looked so old, and it would be hard to push the cart.

Ueda Gawabata looked at the old lady and blinked in confusion.

"I remember you own a ramen shop, didn't you?"

"..."

The old lady did not answer Jiu Zhong Qian Xiao, but continued with the work in her hands in silence.

"If the store closes, I can ask someone to..."

"Master Jiuzhong, please stop saying that. After you and your girlfriend finish your ramen, please leave."

“…?! Cough, cough, cough?!!”

When she was suddenly told this, Tomoe Ueda choked on the noodles she was slurping, and she started coughing lightly.

Seeing this, Jiu Zhong Qian Xiao quickly turned around, handed her the water, then reached out and patted her back gently.

"Teacher, why?"

"Master Jiuzhong, you have already learned the technique of making ramen and have already graduated. You don't have to lower yourself to call me teacher now. Now I have no relationship with you, the Jiuzhong family, or the Shizou family. I closed the shop by myself, and I am very happy to pass on all my lifelong skills to you before closing the shop."

"Your girlfriend has been here several times. Every time she comes, she smiles and says that she will come to you to eat ramen when you are free."

"I just want to run this small shop simply now. I don't want to be so tired. I just want to make some ramen every day. I appreciate your kindness, but if I expand the shop, I will only be tired."

"So Master Jiuzhong, you don't have to worry about so much. In addition, I suggest that you make ramen for your girlfriend yourself, so that when you go out to eat ramen, there will be no one watching you."

Looking at the concerned and gentle look that Kunou Chiaki showed to Uedagawa Tomoe, the old lady chuckled and said.

Chapter 109: What kind of person am I in your opinion?

"So, Tomoe, what was it that you said you wanted to talk to me about?"

After eating ramen, the two were walking on the way home. Kunou Chisato turned her head and looked at Udagawa Tomoe who had a slightly blushing face beside her, and asked softly.

Hearing this, Tomoe Uedagawa stopped and stood by the guardrail of the stream. Looking at the sunset in the sky, he turned around and said to him: "Actually, it's about Lan. She seems to have been hiding a lot of things from us recently."

Maybe it was an illusion, she always felt that Mizukuri had become strange recently, even though she was doing well in practice and they had their debut performance not long ago and gained a lot of fans, but why did she always feel that Mizukuri had become a little absent-minded.

When she asked, Mizukami just said nothing and avoided their gaze.

Ueda Gawa Tomoe couldn't tell exactly when it started, but he vaguely remembered that it was about two weeks ago. And when she was asked whether she should tell Chisaki Kunou about their debut performance, Mitakeran was the one who opposed it.

She and Chisato Kunou had the best relationship, so why did she choose to oppose it? Tomoe Ueda thought that the two of them might have had some conflict, and the day before, they noticed that Himari Uehara had a new phone.

After asking the other party, she found out that it was Jiuzhong Qianxiao who changed it for her, but she noticed at the time that Mizukuri was not very surprised, so she should have known it in advance.

And the most important thing is that there is still one week left. Although they still go to school together every morning during that week, when it is time to get out of school, Mizukami will choose to leave alone.

So this made her wonder if something else happened during that week, and whether there was any conflict between Mizukuri and Kunou Chisho.

Another thing is... Jiuzhong Qianxiao hasn't been with them for a long, long time.

In the past, Jiuzhong Qianxiao would stay with them most of the time, even though they didn't go to school together, but now, he seemed to be getting further and further away from them.

"...That's it."

Jiuchong Qianxiao also stopped and leaned on the guardrail. He was silent for a long time, with fluorescent light flashing in his eyes.

As for contradictions, it can be said that there were no such things. At least when Mitakeran lived in his house, except for that day when she went to Hikawa Sayo's house for dinner and came back very late, there was basically nothing else.

As for the fact that Mizukani was seen naked by him... she didn't seem to care about it later. Instead, they slept together during those days. So what was the problem?

However, I seem to be getting further and further away from them.

During this period of time, I was either at Roselia, Pastel*Palettes, and finally Hello, HappyWorld. Basically, except for that day when I went to Afterglow, I never visited them again.

I haven't even watched their debut performance.

"I'm sorry, Tomoe."

"Yeah, even if you apologize to me, I don't know what you're apologizing for."

Hearing Kunou Chisho's sudden apology, Ueda Gawabata turned his head in confusion, as if to say, "I don't know anything yet, why are you suddenly apologizing to me?"

"Really? Do you have practice tomorrow?"

"Of course."

"I'll go to the practice room tomorrow and talk to you guys."

Jiuzhong Qianxiao breathed a sigh of relief after hearing that they still had practice tomorrow. When they went to practice tomorrow, she would go and talk to them and Mizukami Ran.

From the past to the present, except for my father, the guitarist and the DJ in the band, who are three boys, I have basically been in contact with girls, so I have never been clear about the gap between boys and girls.

Although my teacher in Japan taught this part of the course, I often skipped classes in elementary school to play the piano in the classical music classroom. After junior high school, I never went to school again.

Therefore, it was not until recently that he understood a lot of things.

It seems that Shirogane Rinko's feelings for him are not limited to friends. He could see most of Mitakeran's feelings for him, but he was like a piece of wood at that time and couldn't see anything. The same was true for Shirasagi Chisho. Her behavior could no longer be described as that of a friend.

But do I really have that kind of charm that they would like me?

And there is Uehara Himari. When I sent her off that day, she seemed to have kissed me gently on the cheek.

In the past, he might not have understood the meaning of these behaviors, but now it seems that because of most of the girls he comes into contact with, he has become the one whose behavioral cognition is most seriously affected.

"What kind of person am I in your opinion?"

"Huh? Why are you asking me this all of a sudden?"

"I'm just curious. After all, we've been together for such a long time. I'm still curious about what kind of person I am in your eyes."

"Eh? So you actually care about this kind of thing?"

"Just like you blush, Tomoe."

After hearing what Kunou Chisato said, Ueda Gawabata was a little curious why he suddenly asked this, but when she heard him mention the matter of her blushing again, she finally raised her fist and knocked on Kunou Chisato's head.

"I'm talking to you. I'm a girl after all. Isn't it normal for me to blush when I encounter embarrassing things?! Huh?"

"Ah, sorry, sorry, Tomoe has always been very straightforward, and his voice sounds like a boy, so..."

"Qianxiao!"

"Ha ha ha ha."

After being gently tapped on the head by Ueda Gawabone again, Kunou Chisho couldn't help but laugh.

"So, in your opinion, what kind of person am I?"

"…You really want to know?"

"Ah."

"There's really nothing I can do about you."

The river reflected the dusk under the setting sun, and the soft sunlight fell on Ueda Gawabata's face, covering the blush on the girl's face. She reached out her hand and tucked the long hair beside her ear behind her ear with her slender fingertips.

The dark green eyes were slightly raised, looking at Jiuzhong Chixiao's gentle smile, with a hint of tenderness reflected in her eyes. She opened her lips slightly, and Ueda Kawashima's voice was fresh and gentle.

"The first time I saw you was when Lan brought you to us. At that time, you were following behind Lan and looked like a very cold person. But when you walked in front of us, you smiled very gently."

"It seems that from that time on, you showed your endless love and care for your friends. You often took care of each of our ideas, wrote down our thoughts, and then helped us realize them one by one when we were about to forget them one day."

"Every time I see you, you always have a faint smile on your face, as if nothing can make you sad. You have always been so gentle. The five of us actually grew up together, but when Lan brought you to us, I actually didn't like you a little, because I felt that your arrival would take away part of our relationship."

"But later, as our contacts and relationships gradually increased, I realized that I didn't know when I had already recognized you as one of us, just like everyone else, an inseparable member. You always take care of others, consider other people's ideas, and realize our naive ideas."

"No matter what it is, you always have a way to solve it. When we are unhappy, you always have a way to make us happy. Sometimes I wonder, how nice it would be if you grew up with us instead of just being with us in junior high school?"

This time, Ueda Gawabata's voice was very gentle. She looked at Kunou Chisho's pretty face and smiled gently.

"So in my opinion, you are just a gentle fool."

She looked at the place in her heart reserved for him and spoke softly.

Chapter 110: Death Song Lianyin: Take care of your health.

After sending Tomoe Ueda home, Chisato Kunou returned to the flower shop.

Lying on the bed, his mind was filled with the words that Ueda Gawab had said to him before they parted.
