In music anime, band girls won't be alone.

"Zejun, are you free tomorrow night? My mom would like to have dinner with you."

Thinking about how Meow Dream released the first episode of the Elf series yesterday, Shirakawa Sawa guessed that they were looking for him to acquire the rights to the soundtrack, so he replied,

“I’m free, Su Shi.”

"Once Auntie has decided on the time and place, just let me know."

After receiving this message, Nagasaki Motoyo looked up at her mother sitting on the sofa opposite her.

"Mom, Zejun said that once you've decided on the time and place, just let him know."

Nagasaki's mother nodded.

"Then let's go to the same restaurant as last time, tomorrow at six o'clock."

Nagasaki Motoyo responded, sent the time and location to Shirakawa Sawa, and then looked up at her mother.

"Mom, do you need me to go with you tomorrow?"

Nagasaki's mother thought for a moment and replied,

"Does Xiaosu have time tomorrow?"

"If you have time, come with me."

Nagasaki Motoyo nodded.

“I have time, Mom.”

She does have time.

Because Takamatsu Akari brought new lyrics today, and Shiina Tatsuki will be composing at home tomorrow, there will be no band activities tomorrow.

Nagasaki's mother nodded, then, as if she had thought of something, a surprised smile appeared on her face.

"Speaking of Xiaoze, I ran into him at a restaurant a couple of days ago."

"She was having dinner with a girl at the time."

Upon hearing this, Nagasaki Motoyo's mind raced instantly, and within a second, a fawning smile appeared on her face.

"is it?"

"Was he with a girl with short gray hair?"

Nagasaki's mother nodded, a thoughtful look on her face.

"Yes, it seems to be called something like..."

After waiting a few seconds, seeing that her mother still hadn't said her name, Nagasaki Motoyo added,

"It should be called Takasatsu-den, Mom."

Nagasaki's mother looked as if she had just remembered.

"Yes! That's the name!"

Nagasaki Motoyo had a smile on her face.

"They are indeed in a romantic relationship."

“When I was in CRYCHIC, Deng Jiang was already my teammate, and she is still my teammate in this band now.”

"We are all very good friends."

Nagasaki's mother wore a gentle smile.

"That's great."

"The friendships formed during our student days are the most beautiful."

"I hope you can stay friends."

After saying that, she got up and walked towards her bedroom.

"I'm going to sleep now, Xiao Su Shi. You should rest early too. Good night."

She naturally knew that Gao Songdeng and her daughter were good friends.

The time her daughter cried in front of her before was because of what happened between her and Gao Songdeng.

She orchestrated the conversation just now to confirm two things.

First, was her daughter aware of Shirakawa Ze's relationship?

Second, does your daughter have any doubts about the fact that Shirakawa Sawa's lover is Takamatsu Akari?

Now it seems the answer is obvious.

Her daughter knew about the relationship between the two.

This resolved her doubts.

But at the same time, it also raised new questions for her.

That is, why was his daughter on high alert just now?

I was just asking her about the relationship between her two friends, and she shouldn't have reacted like that.

In other words, there must be something about these two people that his daughter doesn't want him to know, or is afraid he will find out.

what is it?

She felt somewhat confused.

……

The next morning, Nagasaki Motoyo walked into the school and saw Wakaba Mutsumi standing in front of her small cucumber patch, looking somewhat sad.

Did all of Xiaomu's cucumber seedlings die?

Nagasaki Motoyo thought to herself, then changed direction and walked over.

Upon closer inspection, she found that the cucumber seedlings were all doing well, with many flower buds sprouting, and they would bloom in a while.

She turned to look at Wakaba Mutsu, and asked with a hint of curiosity,

"Xiao Mu, are you unhappy today?"

Ruoye Mu shook her head gently and said nothing.

She is indeed not very happy right now.

She received a message from Toyokawa Shoko last night.

I learned that the other person had already moved out on their own.

I also learned that it was through the introduction of Shirakawa Bridge that I met my current landlord and moved into the big house.

She was genuinely happy for the other person upon receiving this message.

Then I wanted to give the other person a gift to express my feelings.

However, without exception, my parents arranged everything for me, from food and clothing to daily necessities.

She didn't want to give away things her parents bought, nor did she want to give away things that could be bought with money, because that wouldn't express her feelings.

After much thought, she felt that only cucumbers she grew herself could express her feelings.

Unfortunately, they are not yet mature, and they haven't even reached their flowering stage yet.

So when she came over in the morning and looked at them, she felt very sad.

Seeing the girl remain silent, Nagasaki Motoyo continued to gaze at her tenderly, and softly spoke.

"Xiao Mu, is there anything I can help you with?"

"Or rather, what problem are you facing right now, and do you need me to help you figure out a solution?"

Looking at the cucumber seedlings, Wakaba Mutsu accepted the fact that they couldn't flower and bear fruit in a single day, then glanced at the girl beside her.

"Su Shi, I want to buy some gifts for people, but I don't know what to buy."

Upon hearing that this was the question, Nagasaki Motoyo breathed a slight sigh of relief and pulled the other person to sit on the bench next to her.

"The person who can cause Xiao Mu so much distress must be a very close friend, right?"

"Since we are good friends, the form of the gift is secondary; the sentiment is the most important."

"Xiao Mu, you can think about what your friend usually likes, or what he lacks."

In a split second, Ruoye Mutsu gave the answer in her mind—[She usually likes to work part-time and is relatively short of money].

But she certainly couldn't say it out loud, nor could she directly give money, so she remained silent.

Seeing that the other person still didn't speak, Nagasaki Motoyo felt a little puzzled, but it didn't bother her too much, and she continued to speak.

"It's okay if Xiaomu can't figure out what the other person likes right away."

"We can buy some more conventional gifts, like fruit or snacks."

When Ye Mu remembered that Toyokawa Shoko had just moved, he spoke up.

"She just moved."

"What do you think would be a good gift, Su Shi?"

A thoughtful look appeared in Nagasaki Motoyo's eyes.

"Just moved..."

"There are usually two options."

"One type is to give gifts such as fresh flowers, ornaments, or handicrafts to enhance the atmosphere and comfort of the new home."

"One type is to give something practical. However, the choice of this type of gift depends on what your friend's family lacks. It's best to give them something they don't have but can still use."

If Ye Mu felt that the other person was indeed intelligent, a hint of joy appeared on her expression.

"Thank you, Sushi."

She had made up her mind to send some practical gifts to Toyokawa Shoko.

As for whether the items you buy will be duplicates of what the other person has at home.

She didn't have any concerns in that regard.
