You are Toyokawa Shoko, then who am I?

Toyokawa Sho shook his index finger and smiled confidently.

Toyokawa Shoko narrowed her eyes slightly. This man seemed so confident. Could it be that he had come up with some brilliant plan?

"One hundred thousand a month, plus rent, utilities, and next year's high school tuition. I really can't afford a luxurious life of two dishes and a soup a day anymore..."

At this point, Toyokawa Sho's voice suddenly shook, as if it contained the power of countless laws. Invisibly, a powerful wind pressure was raised to shape him, and there seemed to be a gleam of brilliance in his eyes.

"But what if I add in my monthly salary of 320,000 yuan?"

"One, three hundred and twenty thousand a month!?"

Shoko Toyokawa could no longer sit still.

She is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. With the training of her family, she has even dabbled in high-end positions such as planning, management, operation and personnel arrangement.

I'm not trying to brag, but considering her abilities, she can already be considered a hexagonal warrior.

But as versatile as she was, she couldn't find a decent job. In the end, she could only work as a waitress in a remote restaurant, and could only earn a living by washing dishes and mopping the floor every day.

And this guy in front of me actually said that he makes 320,000 a month?

The salary is three times my own! ?

There is absolutely no possibility of this, absolutely no possibility of this!

Shoko Toyokawa gritted her teeth and refused to give in. Aren't we all the same person? Why is there such a big difference?

And when she noticed the white short-sleeved shirt underneath Toyokawa Sho's coat, she discovered that there were several shocking circles of blood on it.

Recalling the heavy punch that Toyokawa Sho gave to his bastard father when he came in, she covered her mouth with her hands, her beautiful eyes filled with worry.

Could it be that this guy is working as a thug just to make some quick bucks...?

"I can work a few more jobs. You don't have to work so hard..."

Shoko Toyokawa walked forward with some distress, picked up a bit of Toyokawa Sho's clothes with her slender fingers, and her eyes were slightly mottled with reluctance.

She has been a child with a rich imagination since she was young. In addition, she could feel that Toyokawa Sho seemed a little tired inside, and Toyokawa Sho didn't even have an ID. It was too ridiculous for her to find such a high-paying, regular job in Tokyo in just two days.

Guided by various objective factors, she began to suspect that Toyokawa Sho had joined the underworld.

When Shoko Toyokawa realized what she was thinking, the corner of his mouth twitched.

What image does he have in the mind of his other self?

"I didn't go there as a lackey. This blood belongs to Li Xi."

"Lixi...?"

Toyokawa Shoko was stunned for a moment, then her pupils were shocked. Could it be that the blood on this guy was from Da Lixi?

"Although Li Xi has a bad temper, but, but you two can't fight!"

"Why do you keep insisting on fighting?"

Toyokawa Sho was so stunned by Toyokawa Xiangzi's stupidity, "She must have hit me with her nose, and the blood is flowing down my body!"

"Ah... so she hit her nose... so she's okay, right? Did you take her to the hospital for a checkup? There won't be any problems, will there?"

When Shoko Toyokawa heard that something was wrong with Li Xi, she subconsciously showed concern.

However, this weakness exposed by weakness is exactly what a certain bloodthirsty demon loves to see.

He said that Crychic had nothing to do with him anymore, but when he really heard what happened to his teammates, he became anxious like a grasshopper jumping in a hot pot.

That's the thing you can't do, dark history.

Let me help you tear apart that meaningless self-esteem and let you accept your truest inner vision with an open mind.

After saying that, the demon seemed to show his terrifying appearance again, with wings growing on his back, fangs gradually showing, and the upward curve of his mouth was a proof of his happiness.

He deliberately closed his eyes and acted nonchalant, his tone sounding like he was complaining, but the tone of this complaint was just right, and to others it sounded like he was showing off.

"Ah, you don't know how much it hurt when Lixi jumped off her bicycle and dived headfirst into my arms..."

Toyokawa Sho made an expression of pain, his tone was very clear, and he deliberately added a little emphasis on the word "Lixi".

Toyokawa Shoko's eyebrows trembled slightly, and she was disturbed by Toyokawa Sho's overly intimate way of addressing Shiina Riki.

She clearly remembered that this guy was calling her Shiina-san yesterday, so why was he calling her by her real name today?!

Seeing that the plan was effective, Toyokawa Sho was very happy and his expression was full of satisfaction, so he increased the intensity of the persecution a little bit. For this purpose, he even did not hesitate to fabricate history and become a despicable and evil historian.

"Speaking of which, Li Xi even brought me a lunch box at noon. It was truly a delicacy, filled with phoenix marrow and dragon liver. Just looking at it makes one's mouth water. I can't stop eating it."

"As I savored it slowly, I could taste the Wagyu beef carefully raised on the grasslands of Hyogo, Kansai. And as I devoured it, I could feel the same exhilaration as savoring a massive barbecue in Texas... I said it was truly delicious. Li Xi smiled and told me that I could come to her house if I wanted to eat it again in the future—"

Toyokawa Shoko's faith showed signs of crumbling, and she was on the verge of defeat after being hit by the devil's heartbreaking words.

The middle school soul that once shouted to the world and felt that it could go against the current is now suppressed and unable to move.

She didn't know whether she should be anxious for Fengchuan Xiang to establish a good relationship with Li Xi behind her back, or whether she should be anxious for Li Xi to be so warm and harmonious with another self.

Even Lixi has never done such a thing as specially making a lunch box for me!

When Toyokawa Sho saw that he had killed Toyokawa Shoko, the devil's image immediately fell off his body and went to receive the crown that was to be awarded to him.

However, at this moment, a hand that struggled out from the abyss of hell grabbed his arm.

Toyokawa Sho turned around in surprise, unable to believe that the man who came was actually Toyokawa Shoko, who had already been killed by his sword! ?

impossible!

The heartbreaking words just now should have reduced your health to zero! Why are you still fighting?

Then he glanced down, and waves of emotion surged in his eyes.

It's actually a battle continuation! ?

"……Wait!"

Shoko Toyokawa pulled Sho Toyokawa towards her with force.

Her little face, which had just been lowered, was now raised, with visible unwillingness and a sense of grievance as if someone had taken away something important on her cheeks. The slight redness at the corners of her eyes and the awkward expression made her look adorable.

She took a deep breath, and finally asked what she cared about most with red ears.

"You keep yelling 'Lixi, Lixi, Lixi' like that... What the hell, what happened between you and Lixi-san?"

30

Chapter 30: It turns out that he is the chosen one of Tzeentch. That’s great. We are doomed.

The newly replaced light bulb emits a warm and bright light.

Right under the light was a cheap wooden table bought from a second-hand market. On it were torn packaging bags and some skewers for oden.

As a dinner, it is questionable whether the total cost of these two dishes exceeds 1,000 yen. It is really a bit shabby, but the two people sitting in front of each other seem to be eating them with relish.

One reason is that both of them have received a good education since childhood that they must never waste food.

Secondly, considering how poor they are now and that they are a little short of money, it is already quite good for them to be able to eat something hot.

The two of them ate and talked, and the main topic of conversation was what a newcomer had experienced in the past two days.

The girl who was listening frowned more and more, and her expression became more and more distorted, and it was difficult for her to maintain it. In the end, she simply asked in a trembling voice.

"...You mean, you passed the interview on the first day and earned the boss's attention? The next day, you and Li Xi performed brilliantly in front of a group of people, and the boss praised you highly and valued you even more."

"Not only did he ask you to help take care of his granddaughter, he also gave you a Gibson SJ200 for free. Afterwards, Su Shi came to see you, and you had a little disagreement. On the way back that evening, you and Li Xi went to see a fireworks display?"

Shoko Toyokawa rested her hands on the table, her fingers intertwined and resting on her light chin. There was a shadow on her forehead from the blow. Her tone was heavy and full of obvious disbelief.

A few minutes ago, she was still full of energy, determined to pry open the beast's mouth to find out what had happened in the past two days.

But what the girl didn't know was that the pursuit of truth always comes at a price. At the other end of the universe, where no one can find it, there exists a blue god.

He is rich in wisdom, the master of all schemes, represents hope and nobility, and symbolizes the ultimate and desire.

He is the weaver of fate and the mocker of change. All knowledge and vastness are stored in His thoughts. The answers that countless people dream of and are even willing to exchange their lives for all flow in His wisdom. Just by looking up to Him, one can gain enough power to subvert the entire world.

The man sitting in front of the girl is actually the one favored by the Supreme Being.

Peeping into his past and looking for his amusement is itself foolish and a pleasure to be laughed at by the gods.

The girl was completely unaware of this, and ended up with a broken heart. After peeling off layer upon layer of vague veils and gradually learning the truth that was almost heartbreaking, she was almost completely torn apart by the colorful veil of a fulfilling life.

Her Dharma body was festering, and the gray memories of the past month were wailing in pain. The fatigue of serving dishes, the grievance of being scolded, and all kinds of unbearable memories made up everything she had in this month.

She had thought that this man, who had just arrived and was lost in this world, would be like her, crushed to the ground by this cold and ruthless society, and shattered into powder that no one would even look at, leaving reality to scatter into the sea, lonely and sad.

But the man told her now.

Instead of falling into the ninety-nine levels of hell, he was living in a blissful heaven...! ?

"Looking at me like a traitor is going too far."

Toyokawa Sho supported his face with one hand and said softly.

"It's been tough for me too, okay? I've worked so hard to win everything, but in the end, I'm back to where I started. Now I'm staring longingly at an empty box of oden and a bread bag that I've eaten long ago."

As he spoke, he pointed out a feasible way.

"If you're feeling unbalanced, you might consider quitting your current job and joining us at RiNG. With your abilities, your boss should be able to offer you a decent salary."

"Don't say such irresponsible things...!"

However, these words touched the inner scars of Shoko Toyokawa, or more accurately, stimulated her sensitive self-esteem.

The sense of disjunction between Toyokawa Sho's dazzling and colorful life and her current situation stimulated her tired nerves after a day of hard work, making her feel both envious and sad.

But after yesterday's mutual recognition, she did not think that Toyokawa Sho's words were a kind of pity. After all, in essence, this was an act of helping oneself and had nothing to do with pity.

The one who really pricked Toyokawa Shoko's sensitive self-esteem was Tatsuki Shiina, who also worked in RiNG.

She had just quit Crychic a few days ago, and the situation was very ugly. Shiina Riki even grabbed her collar and asked her why she left so irresponsibly.

If she were to go to RiNG to look for a job now because of reality, wouldn't that mean she would become a colleague of Shiina Riki?

They will meet each other every day. When they really meet, how should she put on her face to face Shiina Riki?

In addition, if she really came into contact with Shiina Riki, given his personality, he would definitely ask her to get to the bottom of the matter and explain why she left the band.

By then, if Shiina Riki has seen me, then Nagasaki Suyo will not be far behind?

Now that Nagasaki Suyo has caught me, won’t the remaining lights follow me?

So what's the difference between this and restoring Crychic?

Why did I go to them in the rain to ask them to quit the team?

Looking at Toyokawa Sho, who had a calm expression and was just looking at her quietly, Toyokawa Shoko gritted her teeth, and finally sat back in the chair, exhaled lightly, and resumed her usual polite and elegant posture.

"…I'm sorry, I was rude just now."

"fine,"

Toyokawa Sho shook his head. "But if I keep running away like this, I might actually snatch Riki and the others away from me. Even so, is that okay with you?"

Toyokawa Shoko's pupils shrank slightly, but in the end, her delicate self-esteem blocked her true feelings. She turned her head and whispered.

"We're alone anyway... even if that's the case... it's okay."

Toyokawa Sho looked at Toyokawa Shoko who had returned to her awkward state and sighed softly in his heart.

"That's not what you thought yesterday."

Shoko Toyokawa still didn't answer, but just lowered her head and looked under the table. The dazzling light shone on her head, but at this moment, it did not feel warm and bright. Instead, it only highlighted the darkness in her heart and intensified her deep black shadow.

Seeing her so depressed, Toyokawa Sho finally couldn't stand it anymore and stood up from his chair.

"How about this, let's go out for a walk."

"...Let's go out for a walk?"

Shoko Toyokawa raised her head with a questioning look in her eyes.

"Just think of it as a walk after dinner."

Toyokawa Sho said.

"It's such a small meal, you don't need to walk to digest it, right?"

Toyokawa Shoko muttered, and although her mouth sounded like she was refusing, her body still cooperated and stood up with Toyokawa Sho.

"That's your fault for only buying so little food tonight."
