And Ichinose Wakaba?

After his initial embarrassment, what else could he say to the indifferent girl?

And so, in this strange atmosphere, Ichinose Wakaba's leg wound was treated.

Then, facing Takamatsu Akari, who clearly had something to say, Ichinose Wakaba said in a series of 'I'm so sorry, I'm sorry it was my fault, I thought you were going to commit suicide, so I'm sorry! Thank you for treating my wounds, goodbye!'

After quickly finishing her sentence, Ichinose Wakaba ran out of the infirmary without looking back—she was already annoyed enough by those female characters.

Another one? Ichinose Wakaba felt she absolutely couldn't handle it. And, it was Takamatsu Akari, the very beginning of everything involving Mygo and the hen.

The thought of getting involved with Takamatsu Akari meant that if Shiina Tatsuki found out first, she would face pressure from him. Next was Chihaya Aine; her probing this morning made Ichinose Wakaba want to play it safe for now and avoid arousing any further investigation.

Also, there's Ichinose Wakaba's older sister.

Judging from the timing, the other party is currently preparing for Ku Lai Xi Ku's resurrection. Completely, because of his entanglement with Gao Song Deng, he has gained even more attention from the other party.

"I want to have some more peace and quiet for a while longer."

Thinking about the probing of Ruoye Mutsu last night and this morning, Ichinose Wakaba felt that she should find a reason to move out of the Nagasaki family after returning home.

"It's just a matter of what reason to give."

It was not easy for Nagasaki's mother to find Ichinose Wakaba for adoption. Before the other party could vent his inner guilt, Ichinose Wakaba's excuses would not be enough to convince the other party, and he would not be able to get permission to move out.

"Is there really no way?"

Thinking about the girls she might have to face next, Ichinose Wakaba became distressed.

How should I put it, the character Takamatsu Akari seems very easy to fool.

Chapter 132 For whom is her smile?

After racking my brains all afternoon without coming up with a good excuse, I started packing my schoolbag after hearing the school bell.

Yesterday's late return home made Ichinose Wakaba hesitant to linger outside. In addition, she still had matters to attend to with Toyokawa Shoko.

So, preparing to go home early, Ichinose Wakaba embarked on her journey home.

As a result, just as he walked down the stairs, he ran into Toyokawa Shoko.

""

Although Ichinose Wakaba had just met the girl the night before, and even carried her to his bed to sleep.

But for Toyokawa Shoko, this was their first formal meeting since the convenience store incident—not counting their secret, chance encounters.

Should we go say hello?

Thinking of the person she loved in her dream, Toyokawa Shoko wanted to go up and say hello. Although the beginning of their acquaintance had changed, Toyokawa Shoko wanted to keep the process and the outcome the same.

However, for Toyokawa Shoko, who was originally a girl's school student, the idea of ​​her interacting with boys and even making them fall in love with her was far from ideal.

This kind of thing, Toyokawa Shoko did not seem to be familiar with.

What's more, Ichinose Wakaba pretended not to know her and walked right past her. That familiar scent and indifference made Toyokawa Shoko's heart feel both cold and warm.

After passing Toyokawa Shoko, Ichinose Wakaba saw the familiar pink hair again after walking only a few steps.

Chihaya Aine, showing off her fangs, is getting ready to go to the ring with Takamatsu Akari—Akari, let's go together~ Souse is there too~

Chihaya Aine was dreaming that if she recruited Akari and Souse to join her band, would Mutsumi also come? She noticed Ichinose Wakaba—Wakaba-ha~ Shall we go to ring together?

Ignoring the surprised looks from those around them—"Who is he? How could he be invited by such a beautiful girl and the school mascot?"—Chihaya Aine led Takamatsu Akari by the hand to Ichinose Wakaba.

Under Toyokawa Shoko's complicated gaze—"She knows Wakaba, and also Tou"—the large pink dog smiled and shook Ichinose Wakaba's hand: "Hey, Wakaba, let's go to ring~ I want to form a band~"

Upon hearing about forming a band, Toyokawa Shoko's expression became even more complicated.

Although she said she wished them well, although she had let go, and although it was all in the past, when she actually faced it, Toyokawa Shoko still felt abandoned.

Even though she was the one who abandoned him first, people always think that she must not be doing well after I left.

If the other person is doing well, the person who did wrong will suffer even more and feel more remorse and pain.

So, not wanting to see what was about to happen, and wanting to meet peacefully as soon as possible to finish Erii's song, Toyokawa Shoko ignored Takamatsu Akari's pitiful gaze and walked out of the building's door without hesitation.

As Toyokawa Shoko walked forward, she saw half of her body.

At the school gate, the sunlight shone brightly on a girl who stood quietly.

She wore a neat school uniform, her short skirt swaying gently in the breeze, the snow-white summer Moon Forest school uniform gleaming softly in the sunlight. Her long, smooth hair fluttered in the wind, a few strands brushing against her fair cheeks, her clear eyes gazing into the distance, as if waiting for someone.

The girl's temperament was serene and pure, like a lily blooming in the morning light, causing passing students to slow down involuntarily.

One student exclaimed in a low voice, "So beautiful..."

But she seemed not to hear, simply standing there, like a girl stepping out of a painting, unreal in her beauty.

But some people recognized the light green-haired girl—Ruoye Mutsu?!

Immediately, the students who recognized Ruoye Mu became restless, some wanting to go up and ask for her autograph. But because of the girl's aloofness and indifference, these people with such ideas began to think about whether they were worthy.

[Mumu, you clearly said you'd meet at the coffee shop.]

Thinking about how she and Banshen had agreed to meet at a coffee shop instead of at the school gate yesterday, and how the commotion caused by him made Toyokawa Shoko sigh inwardly—how did her reliable childhood friend become like this?

Thinking back to her childhood, when she was the one being protected, Toyokawa Shoko felt a pang of nostalgia. So, as she approached the half-body, the blue-haired girl paused: "Mutsu, let's leave first."

Not wanting to attract attention, and preferring to keep to herself, Toyokawa Shoko wanted to have more conversations at the coffee shop.

However, out of the girl's eye, Ruoye Mutsu didn't follow, but waited behind her for a while—Mutsu, what are you going to do?

Turning around, Toyokawa Shoko, who hadn't seen her childhood friend following her for a while, witnessed a scene that she couldn't believe.

"Wakaba, this is for you."

The gift bag she was carrying contained small cucumbers that the girl had carefully grown. It was a gift for her younger brother, Soyo. Under Chihaya Aine's incredulous gaze, Ruoba Mutsumi stuffed the gift into Ichinose Wakaba's hands.

Meanwhile, Takamatsu Akari, upon seeing Toyokawa Shoko, became silent and dejected—"It's all my fault?"

The taciturn Takamatsu Akari's gaze fell on Ruoba Mutsu again, and because of the other's actions, her gaze then fell on Ichinose Wakaba.

Under Takamatsu's gaze, his former companion took a step back, gave a slight bow, and his inorganic golden pupils flickered.

Then, Ruoye Mu followed behind her childhood sweetheart.

Under Toyokawa Shoko's complicated gaze, the girl with light green hair said, "Wakaba is Soyo's younger brother."

With just one sentence, the blue-haired girl's desire to investigate Ruoye Mutsu's actions was dispelled, and Toyokawa Shoko's attention was entirely focused on the fact that Wakaba was Sōse's younger brother.

The tables had turned; Toyokawa Shoko, who had been walking ahead, was now following behind Ruoye Mutsu. Complex emotions filled the girl's heart, making her want to speak.

But her chaotic thoughts left Toyokawa Shoko unsure how to begin, until she unknowingly bumped into her childhood friend's back.

"Sorry, Mu."

Covering her nose, Toyokawa Shoko took a seat at Ruoye Mutsu's invitation. Just as she was about to speak, the blue-haired girl interrupted her.

"Xiangzi, who do you want to compose music for?"

"It's a youter named Neko."

Suppressing her doubts and prioritizing work, Toyokawa Shoko began talking about Uesugi Erii. Of course, she only told a part of the story and didn't reveal the whole picture.

He only mentioned that he met a YouTuber who commissioned him to compose music. He didn't mention that he became the YouTuber's manager or got a key to the YouTuber's house.

"Really? Do you want me to play the guitar inside?"

The girl with light green hair saw half of her face reflected in her eyes. That face was filled with the smile that had vanished since her mother's death, her father's despair, and the disbandment of the "Bitter Come Bitter" club.

In the past, Ruoye Mu hoped that this smile could always be on her face.

And now

The girl also hopes that this smile can stay on her face forever, after all, it is an important part of her body.

But unlike in the past, Ruoye Mu hopes that she can also have such a smile on her face.

How could such a smile appear on her own face? The thoughts of the light green-haired girl drifted away as Toyokawa Shoko spoke.

Chapter 133 Who is hurting her?

Shoko Toyokawa had barely settled in when a waiter brought over the Darjeeling tea she had ordered. The amber-colored tea rippled gently in the sunlight, its aroma clear and refreshing, like a breeze sweeping through a valley.

The former young lady glanced at him, her expression gentle yet reserved.

She nodded gently, her tone composed and polite: "Thank you."

The waiter was taken aback, seemingly not expecting this simply dressed but exceptionally elegant young woman to be so polite. She returned the smile with a slightly flustered expression and then withdrew.

Sunlight fell obliquely onto the table, casting a long, thin shadow of Toyokawa Shoko.

She sat there, not looking around, but staring down at the pristine white porcelain cup on the table, as if the whole world was rising and sinking in the steam of that cup of tea. Soft background music flowed through the shop, blurring the noisy city outside and softening the faint weariness in the girl's eyes.

Under the gaze of her childhood sweetheart, Toyokawa Shoko gently picked up her teacup, her slender fingertips brushing along the edge of the porcelain, as if caressing a piece of bygone time.

She first brought the inhalation lightly to her lips, the familiar fragrance wafting towards her, softening her gaze. She took a sip, the warmth spreading slowly between her lips and teeth, bittersweet, gentle yet powerful.

The blue-haired, down-on-her-luck young lady whispered, as if talking to herself, "So delicious..."

There was no exaggerated amazement in his tone, but rather an unconcealable sense of satisfaction and wistfulness, as if he had rediscovered a glimmer of light from a distant memory.

For some reason, Toyokawa Shoko thought of the cup of tea that Uesugi Erii had brewed the night before last. Although it was cheap black tea from the supermarket, her brewing skills were nowhere near as good as those of the coffee shop staff.

However, the warm taste and the perfect temperature for her to eat it were more to Toyokawa Shoko's liking than the slightly hot but skillfully prepared Darjeeling.

Although tea ceremony places strict requirements on temperature and other aspects, not everyone is the same. For example, Toyokawa Shoko felt that the prescribed brewing temperature was too hot.

Back home, only the housekeeper who had cared for Toyokawa Shoko for many years would adjust the temperature to her liking. But outside, the temperature that conformed to the general public's preferences didn't suit her.

[How strange, Erii, how did you know my favorite temperature? Is it just a coincidence?]

Attributing everything to coincidence, thinking that this meant that the two of them were bound by fate, Toyokawa Shoko didn't say much. She simply brought the teacup to her lips again, just like the afternoons in the manor garden in the past. Only today, the sunlight was no longer streaming through the carved glass, but rather shining through the gaps in the curtains of the unfamiliar city, falling on her down-and-out yet still proud body.

"Mu, could you give me a sample this week, no, tomorrow?"

Setting down her teacup, Toyokawa Shoko finalized her invitation to her childhood friend for the day. Initially, she had planned to give Ruoye Mutsumi a week to compose the music, which would be this Saturday.

But then I thought of what Platinum Phosphorus said yesterday: "Hey hey hey? Just for a moment?" I could compose music for Neko-chan even without paying, and Uesugi Erii understood me so well when we were having tea just now.

Toyokawa Shoko was trying to confirm whether her half-body could give her the guitar demo tomorrow—if it was Mutsu, there would definitely be no problem.

Their close bond since childhood made Toyokawa Shoko realize just how powerful her childhood sweetheart could be.

"The Only Flower in the World," Japan's second national anthem; "The Cat's Words," a children's book found in over a hundred countries worldwide; a child star who can cry in a second; and his guitar skills honed to this day.

Although she didn't know why he stopped doing related things after writing a song and a picture book, Toyokawa Shoko knew that no one in the world was more capable than her childhood friend.

If it weren't for the fact that the song "Akatsuki no Kuruma" had already been completed, Toyokawa Shoko, after taking on the role of Uesugi Erii's manager, had considered—"Please, Mutsumi! Her voice is worthy of your talent!!!"

So the blue-haired girl lowered her proud head and pleaded with her childhood friend, "Mu, this song needs your guitar! Also, please lend me some money."

Last night, after taking over the work of managing Erii Uesugi, Shoko Toyokawa worked very late.

Furthermore, this morning she reached a cooperation agreement with an advertising company. Then, tomorrow afternoon, Toyokawa Shoko needs to go to that company to sign the contract in person.

In Japan, or indeed around the world, formal attire is required for formal occasions as a sign of respect.

But for Toyokawa Shoko now, she doesn't have that kind of wealth.

She left home without taking anything that belonged to a young lady. Her decadent father did nothing all day, and she needed to work part-time to pay for her tuition and living expenses.

So, the pampered young lady, who had made herself poor, asked her rich friend for money for the first time.

As the author of "The Only Flower in the World" and "Cat's Painting," Ruoye Mu is arguably wealthier than her parents.

Copyright fees and the like, were astronomical sums lying coldly in Ruo Yemu's bank account.

Sunlight streamed through the dappled glass windows of the café, illuminating Toyokawa Shoko's profile and highlighting her resolute yet slightly stubborn expression. It also revealed the earnestness of the young girl towards someone she had only met three times.

It wasn't because life was so impoverished that I couldn't go on, nor because I was struggling to endure the hardships, but because I wanted to help someone I had only met three times.

""

If she hadn't known who Toyokawa Shoko was doing this to, Ruoye Mutsu might have gone insane with jealousy.

After all, as the other's other half, Ruoye Mutsu had never been treated like this by Toyokawa Shoko.

The only thing I want to say is that I want to form a band, come on~.

Outside the café, the spring sun shone warmly, and the cherry blossoms on the branches were gently stirred by the breeze, their petals drifting down to the transparent glass window, like a silent confession or a belated answer. Inside, the air was filled with the aroma of coffee and black tea, and soft, melodious music flowed gently, as if masking the chaotic beating of someone's heart.

Ruo Yemu leaned back in her chair, her fingers unconsciously stroking the leather handbag on her lap. The texture of the handle had long been smoothed by her repeated caresses.

Ruoye Mu's gaze fell on the blue-haired figure in front of her, but it seemed as if she was looking through her to a more distant past—the half-body of her wearing a dark dress, walking on the grass, smiling and waving at her, the one who always took it for granted and said to her, "Mu, let's be together."

But now, for someone else, Toyokawa Shoko lowered her head—a head she rarely lowered—with a suppressed seriousness and tenderness. Shoko borrowed money from me.
