You are Toyokawa Shoko, then who am I?

As he spoke, Toyokawa Sho took a few quick steps forward.

He swung his arms, turned around and drew a big circle in the air. The moonlight embellished his figure, making his beautiful and clean blue hair look pure white, shining into people's eyes.

"When I saw you appear on the ramp, you know what you looked like to me? Like the prima donna of the Takarazuka Revue! Riki, you were so-so handsome!"

Shiina Riki's earlobes turned red when Toyokawa Sho said that.

Even though I had experienced this man's succubus attacks before and thought I would be able to develop some minimum resistance, I was still flattered by his words.

She clenched her fists tightly, her fingertips almost digging into her palms to keep her sanity, but the opponent's attack did not stop yet.

"It was at that moment that I realized, Lixi, that you really valued our relationship. I really wanted to repay your appreciation, but I have nothing left and can't offer anything else."

"After thinking about it, it seems that only my past may have a little value, so I told you, Lixi, as a small reward."

Toyokawa Sho walked back to Riki with his hands behind his back and said with a smile.

"No reward required!"

Li Xi said quickly, "I have received a lot of help from you. If I want to repay you, it should be me—"

"puff……"

Toyokawa Sho couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Hey, why are you laughing...!"

Li Xi was defeated by Toyokawa Sho's smile.

She felt like she really had no way to deal with this guy. She was no match for him even if she teased him. She was no match for him even if she treated him with sincerity. She could only foolishly let him tease her as he pleased.

Toyokawa Sho wiped away the tears of laughter and sighed softly.

"You seem to be treating me more and more like a lamp."

boom--

If the previous succubus's quotes were a sharp offensive that made Li Xi feel unable to resist.

Then this insightful remark was like a light cannon of the same level as Kamehameha, which directly blasted a hole in the wall of Shiina Riki's heart that could never be filled.

She remembered what Nagasaki Suyo said to her in the store, Lixi, it’s enough for you to just have Xiaoxiang and Xiaodeng.

Shiina Riki was deeply aware that he had actually gradually put Toyokawa Sho in the same position as Deng.

even……

No no no, not even, not even.

Shiina Riki quickly shook her head. She could swallow her pride and admit that she really admired Toyokawa Sho, but it was absolutely impossible for her to say that he was taller than Deng.

She coughed, her pink lips slightly parted, and she tried to organize her words for a long time but couldn't come up with anything. In the end, she could only reply dryly.

"……is it not OK?"

Toyokawa Sho tilted his chin, his eyes thoughtful.

"Are you really that cute?"

Snapped!

Someone was hit on the back by a shadowless palm.

After being slapped with all his strength by Shiina Riki, Toyokawa Sho became obedient, but there was still an obvious smile on the corner of his mouth.

On the other hand, there was a person whose earlobes and cheeks were burning. She was extremely thankful that she had just hit her nose and it was bleeding. Her face was covered in blood. Even if she was told that her face was blushing, she could still insist that it was blood, it was blood!

"I'm sorry, Lixi. Don't be angry. I'll compose a new song for you tomorrow. Let's play it happily together, okay?"

Toyokawa Sho came over and seduced him.

"On the level of The Old Man and the Sea?"

Li Xi fell into the trap.

"On the level of The Old Man and the Sea."

Toyokawa Sho nodded seriously.

"Okay, then I won't bother with that."

Li Xi relented.

In fact, she didn't care about the joke at all. She even wanted to apologize for the slap she had just given him, but Toyokawa Sho spoke too quickly. She didn't have time to say anything and could only follow Toyokawa Sho's pace.

"Then shall I continue?"

however.

Someone is really good at taking advantage of others.

An angry symbol seemed to burst out on Li Xi's forehead. Sure enough, the slap was not light enough...!

"Actually, I told you so much just to tell you that I didn't take Su Shi's words to heart. Didn't I tell you before I came here that I knew Su Shi would have that attitude towards me?"

"You really didn't take it to heart?"

Li Xi questioned.

"I really didn't take it to heart."

Someone answered decisively, then leaned forward to whet the appetite, "Do you know why I don't take it to heart?"

"why?"

"I was thinking of telling you later, but since you look so handsome today, Lixi, I'd better tell you in advance."

Toyokawa Sho laughed.

"I'm actually living with Toyokawa Shoko now,"

Toyokawa Sho showed the bracelet on his left hand. "This ribbon was given to me by her. I noticed it when I saw you at noon. I thought you might have guessed something then."

"...?"

Shiina Riki was dizzy for a while because of this bombshell news.

"Wait, who are you with...? You and Xiangzi...?"

"Yeah, with her."

Toyokawa Sho's tone was a little high, but also a little helpless.

"Where do you think I live now? I came into this world alone, and the place I appeared in happened to be her home. At that time, I thought she was a burglar, but when I looked at her, I found out that I was the one."

"...I thought young masters and young ladies like you all had a lot of houses under your names, so I thought you didn't have to worry about accommodation..."

Shiina Riki murmured.

"Even if she has a lot of houses, they are now under her name. The Toyokawa family in this world has nothing to do with me."

Toyokawa Sho said softly, "Although it has nothing to do with me, I have decided to stand by her side."

"She gave me this ribbon last night. I can feel her heart in it. She's the only person in the world who has the right to say I shouldn't exist, but she accepted me and used this ribbon as a token of her love, acknowledging that she and I are completely one person... Although she didn't say anything at the time, I was truly shocked by her awareness."

"As expected of me, her character is even better than I imagined. So, I agree with her philosophy. Perhaps because we're from the same family, I can somewhat glimpse her thoughts. She seems to be thinking about competing fairly with me for Crychic."

"Fair play Crychic?"

Shiina Riki blinked. Hadn't Toyokawa Shoko already left the band? Why was she still thinking about them? If she was still thinking about them, why did she have to leave the band in the first place?

Toyokawa Sho saw Shiina Tateki's doubts, so he explained on behalf of Toyokawa Shoko.

"That girl left the band because she had to leave temporarily. Originally, according to her plan, she might not recognize you guys until high school graduation, but that would be too long. If she really didn't see you guys for three years, she wouldn't even be qualified to compete on the same stage with me."

Toyokawa Sho and Shiina Riki walked out of the block and came to a flat concrete road.

Below is a lawn, and further down is a river. Looking across the river, there is a celebration. The people inside seem to be visiting a temple fair, and from time to time you can see some people walking by in yukata.

Toyokawa Sho stopped and looked at the people on the other side.

"So I've decided. I'll treat her like myself ten years ago and help her as much as I can. Since Su Shi cares about her so much, I'll leave Su Shi to her for now."

"Let me guess, did Su Shi tell you that in the future, Deng Hemu will have to choose between me and Xiangzi, just like today?"

"How on earth do you know so much?"

Shiina Riki also stopped pushing his bicycle and looked at him in amazement.

"Of course it's because I'm familiar with you all."

Toyokawa Sho found a relatively clean lawn, then patted the seat next to him and motioned for Li Xi to sit down with him.

"Actually, Sushi's worries are completely unnecessary. There's no grudge between Toyokawa Shoko and me, so naturally there won't be any conflict or opposition, forcing you to choose between the two. The real problem between us is that everyone at Crychic is unfamiliar with me."

"So, in fact, as long as everyone knows me and accepts me over time, Crychic will naturally be resurrected. By then, I will also bring Toyokawa Shoko back, and we can all be together again like before."

"...Then all the words I said to Su Shi were in vain."

Shiina Riki muttered, parked the car on the side of the road, hugged his legs and sat next to Toyokawa Sho.

"It's not in vain, is it?"

Toyokawa Sho shook his head slightly, stretched his body a little, then looked at Shiina Ritsuki.

"After all, she and I are the same person. Even if we get together in the future, if we really want to discuss it, there will definitely be some bias. For example, whether I care more about her or me."

"For example, Su Shi might be more inclined towards Toyokawa Shoko, while Li Xi came here specially to see me..."

The voice just fell.

The people on the other side suddenly burst into enthusiastic cheers, as if countless voices had come together, shouting the countdown in unison.

three!

two!

——!

Looking up, the fireworks on the river bank burst out with loud noises.

The gorgeous fireworks instantly broke free from the constraints of gravity, rose into the sky, and bloomed in the starry and moonlit autumn night. The scattered sparks were like bright stars, falling in the reflection of the river, reflecting dazzling light.

There were groups of friends walking around in twos or threes, holding fox masks; some picked up toy hunting rifles or small nets to pick out goldfish, playing the most classic activities in the temple fair; and some people held hands shyly, each holding an apple candy that symbolized love, like young students who chose this time of the festival to confess their love.

And on the other side.

There were also two young men, somewhat dusty and dusty, looking at each other under the splendor of fireworks, saying words that made people's heart beat faster, as if they could make the world silent.

"—It's definitely on my side, right?"

Shiina Riki was caught off guard by these words that went straight to her heart, and her innocent and beautiful cheeks were dyed a large patch of bright red that was hard to describe.

She couldn't resist, and tried hard not to make any choking sounds, using her last bit of strength to keep the composure on her face.

He turned his head and lowered his chin.

The arm hugging the thigh blocked half of the face, and he just looked at the fireworks blooming in the sky on the other side.

It was at this moment that she suddenly realized that Toyokawa Sho might have brought her here on purpose?

I specifically picked a place that is both quiet and can see such beautiful fireworks...

And then you said such embarrassing things to her! ?

She turned her head and was about to ask something, but happened to meet Toyokawa Sho's bright gaze.

Shrouded in the light, he looked psychedelic and colorful, with his profile illuminated by the most dazzling halo of the flourishing fireworks.

The fireworks are brilliant, the sparks are dancing wildly, and the quiet autumn night is sparkling, as if they are also the seeds of flowers, carrying the wishes made by many people, rising and scattering, gathering and floating, bidding farewell to the autumn that is about to leave, and lighting up the star-like dream for the young man at this moment.

The boy slowly opened his mouth.

Another sentence that goes straight to the heart.

But this time the sound was drowned out by the most spectacular fireworks of the night.

I don’t know whether he calculated the time and did it on purpose, or whether it was really a wonderful coincidence.

In either case, it has no impact on reality.

Because he spoke slowly, the movement of his lips made it easy to guess what he meant.

Shiina Riki followed his mouth shape and read in his mind bit by bit.

——Really, thank you for coming to see me.

pat.
