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

The initial idea was to spend the money on composing music, and the suggestion was to film a video of the singer performing the song.

Besides what he told Toyokawa Shoko, there was actually another consideration.

I just wanted to leave something behind so that Wakaba Mutsu could see it and preserve it.

Although the other party may not care how the money was spent or whether there are any traces of it.

But he felt a little guilty if the money was spent quietly without anyone noticing.

After a while, the other party replied with a message.

"OK."

Immediately afterwards, another message came in.

Do you have time tonight?

Shirakawa Ze replied,

"I have some time. May I ask what brings you here, Ruoye?"

Ruo Yemu sent me the location of a restaurant.

"Thank you for helping Xiaoxiang."

"I'll treat you to dinner at seven o'clock tonight."

"Just you and me."

Shirakawa Ze quickly replied.

"Thank you for your kind gesture, Ruoye."

"But there's no need for you to treat me to a meal."

"If this attracts attention, it will likely cause trouble for Wakaba-san."

If it were someone else, he probably would have gone to the dinner.

But the other party was Wakaba Mutsumi.

Not only are her parents big stars, but she herself also has considerable fame because of appearing on TV shows with her parents.

If someone were seen having dinner alone with a person of the opposite sex of the same age, it would definitely attract public attention.

After all, having a meal together is not like our last meeting at Yuzawa Cafe.

He doesn't want to cause trouble for himself right now.

Therefore, this invitation must definitely be declined.

Ruo Yemu did not reply to the message.

Shirakawa Ze didn't say anything more, and after having lunch, he continued writing the script for the video series.

……

The time came to around six o'clock in the afternoon.

Shirakawa Sawa heard the doorbell ring.

He got up and opened the door, and saw Wakaba Mutsu standing outside, holding a wooden square food box in his hand.

"Wakaba-san?"

Shirakawa was somewhat surprised. After taking out the other person's slippers, he stepped aside.

After entering, Ruoye Mu looked up at the boy.

Where should we eat?

Shirakawa Ze led her to the restaurant, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

He didn't expect the other party to bring food directly.

Wakaba Mutsumi placed the food box on the dining table and then opened it.

The food box has three layers: one layer of sushi, one layer of soup, and one layer of dessert. There is also a small compartment on the side with two sets of tableware and a damp towel.

After arranging everything, Ruoye Mu sat down and looked at the boy beside her.

"Let's get started."

Shirakawa Ze nodded.

"Then I won't be polite."

"Thank you for your trouble, Wakaba-kun."

The girl shook her head and didn't say anything.

This was probably the quietest meal Shirakawa had ever eaten with anyone.

Ruo Yemu remained completely silent throughout.

He didn't know what to say either.

The two finished their meal in silence.

After finishing the meal, Wakaba Mutsumi asked,

"Is it tasty?"

Shirakawa Ze replied,

"good to eat."

He had eaten at this restaurant before because of a mission.

I roughly know how much this meal will cost.

If we take customer service representative Xiaoxiang's hourly wage as the unit, this meal would require her to work more than fifty hours.

Ruo Ye Mu lowered her eyes and spoke softly.

"Xiao Xiang, it's been a long time since we ate together."

Shirakawa Sawa could understand this.

Xiangzi definitely wouldn't want to eat out with the other person.

Since she lived with her landlord, she naturally didn't want to invite him to her place for a meal, let alone go to his house for a meal.

Therefore, if you want two people to sit down for a meal together, it must be private enough and cannot be in each other's homes.

Ideally, it should be a place they are both familiar with, where they can relax and have a meal together.

In that case, this place seems quite suitable for me.

Shirakawa Ze thought to himself.

Although he had his own thoughts, he didn't say anything.

At this moment, Wakaba Mu looked up at him.

"You have a solution, right?"

Shirakawa Sawa immediately burst into laughter.

"What does Wakaba-san take me for?"

"It feels like I'm omnipotent in your eyes."

Ruo Yemu did not laugh, but fell silent, pondering seriously.

After a while, she looked at the boy beside her and slowly spoke.

"You are a bridge."

"Hard".

"Sturdy".

"Amazing..."

Shirakawa felt like the other person was a blacksmith, hammering attribute modifiers onto him, and couldn't help but interrupt her chanting.

"Since Wakaba-san trusts me, I'll give it a try."

Ruo Yemu's eyes lit up, and she slowly sat up straight, gazing at him.

"Is it true?"

Shirakawa Ze smiled and nodded.

"of course."

"However, I cannot guarantee that it will definitely succeed."

Ruoye Mu happily hummed in agreement, then spoke.

"Kind-hearted".

Seeing that the other party was again trying to attribute himself to someone, Shirakawa Ze was both amused and exasperated.

"If we're going to arrange a meal, when is Ruoye usually most free?"

Ruoye Mutsu thought for a moment

"Anytime after 6 p.m. is generally fine."

The boy nodded, indicating that he understood.

Since there was really nothing left to talk about, Ruoye Mu didn't linger for long. After sitting for a while, she got up and said goodbye.

Shirakawa Ze escorted her to the door.

"I won't see you off. Take care on your journey, Ruoye."

"You can send me a message when you get home."

Wakaba Mutsu nodded, then turned and left.

After watching her leave, Shirakawa Sawa took out his phone and sent a message to Toyokawa Shoko.

"Could you please come to my place after get off work, Xiangzi? There are two things I'd like to tell you."
