Tokyo Sick Girlfriend

Chapter 174 Mutation

Chapter 174 Mutation
Suzune has always had a habit of being a heavy sleeper, which Shiratori Seiya knows. She's in a similar situation to Mio, both of them able to sleep until nine or ten o'clock.

Therefore, in his plan, he would put the food in the pot to heat up for Suzune, then take Saori to the training camp, and when he came back, he could take Suzune to the training test. After the test, he would take her back and then deal with the company's affairs.

Unfortunately, plans don't always go as expected. He hadn't anticipated that Lingyin would get up so early. He glanced at his phone and confirmed that it was only seven o'clock.

The last time Suzune and Saori met, it wasn't a pleasant meeting.

Lingyin, needless to say, is a jealous person.

As for Saori, he increasingly felt that Saori was no longer as innocent as before. She was fine at other times, but when she was with other girls, she seemed to be a little sly and mischievous.

Seeing the message from Rinne, Shiratori Seiya hesitated for a moment but still didn't persuade her to go back to sleep.

Lingyin is very smart. She would definitely realize that what she said was wrong. Moreover, she seemed to be acting strangely last night. If she rejected her and found Saori at her house, she would probably feel upset and overthink things.

Instead of this, it is better to let nature take its course.

Shiratori Seiya suppressed his worries and readily agreed.

He found himself becoming increasingly hard-hearted in the face of such situations, almost like a dead pig that isn't afraid of boiling water.

Less than twenty minutes later, the doorbell rang.

Perhaps afraid that he would get impatient, Hojo Suzune didn't wear a skirt this time. She wore light blue jeans with a white long-sleeved shirt underneath, and a khaki jacket on top. Although she was wearing sneakers, Shiratori Seiya felt that she was a few centimeters taller than yesterday when she wore leather shoes, probably because she was wearing height-increasing insoles.

The moment she opened the door and saw Shiratori Seiya, Hojo Suzune immediately smiled. Today, she had her hair tied in a high ponytail, and a youthful aura emanated from her.

Good morning, hymns.

"Good morning, Lingyin, why are you up so early today? Did you get enough rest yesterday?"

"It's okay, I've been sleeping for a long time, and I am indeed a little hungry."

As Hojo Suzune spoke, she bent down to change her shoes. However, when she looked down and saw the unfamiliar women's shoes, the smile on her face froze.

Noticing the girl's sudden freeze, Shiratori Seiya sighed inwardly and explained:

“Saori is going to a training camp today. She just finished having breakfast here, so I'll take her there…”

After a pause, he said again:
"No need to change your shoes."

"Oh."

Upon hearing Shiratori Seiya's words, Hojo Suzune responded with a forced smile.

Perhaps because Suzune and Saori had both anticipated this, their meeting was much more harmonious than the last time.

However, the atmosphere of this meal was not very pleasant in Shiratori Seiya's opinion.

At least they didn't fight.

After consoling himself with a thought, Shiratori Seiya cleaned up the trash on the table after finishing his meal, then looked at Rin and asked:
"Rinne, I'm going to take Saori to the training camp now. Are you coming with me, or do you want me to pick you up when I get back?"

Upon hearing this, Hojo Suzune was taken aback. She glanced at Hasegawa Saori, who was sipping her milk, and chuckled softly:

"I'll go with you, so you won't have to trouble Kiyoya to come back again."

Actually, the distance I ran wasn't that much more.

However, since Suzune had made this decision, Shiratori Seiya didn't say anything more and led the two out of the house and into the car.

The two of them tacitly sat in the back seat, looking out the windows to each other, and remained silent the whole way.

Shiratori Seiya felt the atmosphere was a bit too oppressive. With the two of them present, it wouldn't be appropriate to talk to either of them, so he decided to play a song to ease the tension.

However, when the car's music was turned on, it was Hojo Shione's singing that came out.

"..."

Shiratori Seiya noticed through the rearview mirror that two people were looking at him at the same time, and quickly turned off the car music.

As the singing faded away, the two of them turned their gazes to the window.

They drove in silence until they arrived at the training venue for Saori. Saori didn't get out of the car immediately; instead, she leaned forward, bringing her fair face closer, and said:
"Kiyoshi, Saori is going to a training camp this time, and after that she'll be participating in a competition..."

She paused, pursed her lips, and asked with a pitiful look, "You'll be here to watch Saori's competition, right?"

"This time, definitely."

"Kiyoya is the best, Saori will definitely get first place!"

"Keep it up, take a rest, and remember to call me."

"it is good."

Shiratori Seiya gave a few instructions, then helped Saori take her luggage out of the trunk, watching her walk into the venue, turning back to look at her every few steps.

However, what he didn't notice was that the girl sitting in the car suddenly turned pale, her face becoming extremely ashen, and she placed her hand on her collar, tightly gripping a silver talisman knife...

…………

Half an hour later, Hojo Suzune stood in the training room and sat down at the piano as instructed by the testing teacher.

Knowing beforehand that Hojo Suzune had already passed level 20 in her music exams, Morimura Kazumi wasn't too surprised when she saw her. She nodded to her, then placed several sheet music tracks in front of her and smiled.
"Ms. Hojo, would you please choose two pieces from these to play?"

Upon hearing this, Hojo Suzune's face tightened, her brows furrowed slightly, and she suddenly felt a little dizzy, but she still nodded in agreement.

"Ah."

She skimmed through the sheet music and selected: Litwick Etude + Bach Well-Tempered Clavier.

In fact, Kazumi Morimura tested Rinne according to the standards of professional performance. This is no different from taking the Grade 23 exam. The standard is to play two extremely difficult piano pieces, with a total duration of twelve minutes.

With her hands resting on the piano, Hojo Suzune's heart suddenly began to race.

She inexplicably began to panic, staring blankly at the piece she had practiced countless times, unsure why she suddenly felt this way.

Kazumi Morimura blinked, looking at the girl in front of her. Noticing the flush on her face, a look of confusion crossed her eyes. With concern in her voice, she asked:
"Are you not feeling well? Do you want to take a break?"

"fine."

Sensing that Shiratori Seiya was still watching her through the glass window, Hojo Suzune gritted her teeth, took a deep breath, and tried to suppress the panic in her heart.

'call……'

With a long exhale, she finally moved her hands on the piano keys.

Notes leaped from her fingertips; these pieces, which she had practiced hundreds of times, had long since become mechanical memories, and she could play them even with her eyes closed.

However, as the music's rhythm intensified, Hojo Suzune's fingers began to tremble almost imperceptibly, her thin shoulders gradually tightened, and her breathing became rapid.

Her slender arms suddenly tensed up at a certain moment.

'Om! '

Suddenly, the faces of her older sister, Hasegawa, and Takahashi seemed to appear before her, and a series of voices rang in her ears.

Hojo Suzune's eyes widened in terror.

'Guess why he didn't choose you?'

Did Kiyoya know you before he started dating Saori in middle school?

'You're the one who's the mistress, aren't you? So what if you arrived early? He's still my boyfriend.'

'You don't deserve it at all...'

A wave of intense dizziness washed over her, and Hojo Suzune's vision went black as she collapsed onto the black and white piano keys.

'when! ’

A series of jarring harmonies exploded in the air.

"Ring tone!"
