Living in Tokyo, starting with a lifestyle-related job

When Nagasawa Yui and Watanabe Hina heard this topic, their eyes lit up, and they immediately became curious.

They had never heard Shiro Kaede talk about her middle school days.

Even Junko Urahara, who rarely pays attention to anything other than food, twitched her ears slightly and stared at Shiro Kaede Kamishiro with some curiosity.

But apart from these few people, only Mizuno Maki felt a tightness in her chest and her eyes flickered.

I wonder how Shirakaze Kamishiro would describe his middle school days.

If he talks about himself, how should I explain it?

However, Shiro Shiro simply smiled helplessly:

"My junior high school years were pretty boring, nothing special happened."

"Just like any other student."

So there's nothing to say.

The others, upon hearing this, did not pursue the matter further.

After all, this is how most students experience junior high school.

Upon hearing this, Mizuno Maki silently breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that she hadn't gotten any information from Shiro Kaede, Nagasawa Yui turned to Mizuno Maki, who was standing nearby, and asked:

"By the way, Mizuno-senpai, aren't you in the same junior high school as Kamishiro-kun?"

"So you two were pretty close back in junior high?"

Watanabe Hina and Chitanda Mirai also silently watched Mizuno Maki, eager to know the answer.

And Shiro Kaede himself is the same.

He also wanted to know if Mizuno Maki still remembered him from junior high school.

No, it should be called its predecessor.

If she remembers, it's highly likely that she still remembers confessing her feelings to him.

If you don't remember, then it means you really forgot.

But if you really forget, that would be the best outcome.

Maki Mizuno's expression froze at the sudden question, and she nervously clenched her fingers, which turned bluish.

Her eyes flickered slightly, and she felt it was best not to discuss this topic any further, especially since Kamishiro-kun was right there, and she wanted to consider his feelings. So she shook her head and said:

"Sorry, I don't remember."

"At that time, I was always studying and didn't pay much attention to anything else."

Upon hearing this, Nagasawa Yui, Chitanda Mirai, and Watanabe Hina were completely relieved.

They had previously thought that Shirakaze Kamishiro and Maki Mizuno were just ordinary friends, not that close.

But he couldn't help feeling a little worried that the two of them might have known each other for a long time, or that they might have some special relationship.

Hearing this, it seems they're overthinking it.

Chitanda Mirai smiled sweetly and said:

"So this is ah."

"However, it's quite common for people not to know each other."

"Even in the future, I won't know all my junior high school classmates."

Watanabe Hina nodded and said:

"Yes."

"For me, I probably don't know my classmates very well either."

Yui Nagasawa chuckled:

"Indeed."

"Even I'm the same."

"After all, there are so many students in the school, it's impossible to know everyone in the same class."

"Moreover, they are from other classes."

after that.

They didn't talk about junior high school anymore.

Instead, they talked about other things.

And so, without even realizing it.

Time passed quietly, and it was two o'clock.

The piano competition has officially begun.

At this moment, although Watanabe Hina knew it wasn't her turn yet, she also knew that the contestants should gather downstairs beforehand, so she said to Kamishiro Hakufu and the others standing beside her:

"Then I'll go there first."

Jindai Bai Feng nodded and said:

"come on."

Chitanda Mirai and the others also said words of encouragement.

Watanabe Hina was very happy that Chitanda Mirai and the others cheered her on.

But more than them, she cared about Shiro Kaede's encouragement. After glancing around, she looked at Shiro Kaede with satisfaction and smiled:

"Well, I will definitely try my best!"

Chapter 172 A Perfect Ending! I'll Punish You by Making You Get into Tokyo University!

It's 2 PM.

Inside the "Sakura Hall" concert hall, the seats were already full, and the audience members were patiently waiting.

A short while later, a girl dressed in a formal gown went on stage to play the piano.

As her fingertips danced, beautiful piano music drifted out.

After a song.

Applause erupted from the audience.

Shiro Kaede and the others from the Literature Club clapped their hands in unison.

Since Watanabe Hina wasn't there, Nagasawa Yui sat down to his right.

Maki Mizuno also moved closer.

So the current seating arrangement is as follows.

【Junko Urahara】【Mirai Chitanda】【Kamiyo Shirokaed】【Yui Nagasawa】【Maki Mizuno】【】

The rightmost seat was left empty, reserved for Hina Watanabe.

Yui Nagasawa asked:

"By the way, Mr. Kamishiro, do you understand piano music?"

Shiro Shiro shook his head and said:

"Of course he wouldn't understand."

"I haven't studied it, how could I understand it?"

Yui Nagasawa asked Chitanda Mirai, who was standing nearby:

"And what about you, Chitanda-san?"

Chitanda Mirai could actually understand, but after hearing Shiro Kaede say she couldn't, she didn't intend to say she could either, and smiled and shook her head, saying:

"Although I don't really understand the future, I feel that the melody played by this girl is quite nice."

Yui Nagasawa chuckled, then puffed out her chest and said:

"Although I don't know much about piano, listening to the piano suddenly reminded me of something."

"Didn't you write a song for me before, Kamishiro-kun?"

"This morning, the producer in charge of songs at my company told me that the lyrics of this song are very good, and that they have already found a team for me this morning."

"I hope you can help me with the melody when the time comes, Kamishiro-kun."

"And I need to find time to rehearse."

Chitanda Mirai said in surprise:

"Eh?!"

"Kamidai-kun can you write songs?"

Yui Nagasawa was also somewhat surprised and remarked:

"You're surprised too, right?"

"I didn't expect that Kamishiro-kun would write songs at first."

"And not only can she write, she can sing too!"

Chitanda Mirai covered her cherry-red lips, looking quite surprised:

"Really?"

Yui Nagasawa pointed to Maki Mizuno beside her and said:
