"I'm sorry, gentlemen, all the single rooms are full. Are you two together? We do have double rooms available."

"........."

Damn!

They really succeeded in bribing them!

He's so rich!

352. No female voice actress can resist his invisible offensive; no one can withstand it.

When Yozuki heard that only double rooms were left in the shop, she subconsciously looked at the price list and felt another pang of heartache.

Don't actually think that being an underground idol can make you any money.

Given the current situation, it seems that not spending this money is really not an option.

The girl gritted her teeth and sighed helplessly, "Please give me a room."

The girl was taken aback when she opened her wallet. Inside were only three thousand-yuan bills and a few loose coins of varying amounts.

She came here to perform today and didn't plan to spend a lot of money. If she had enough cash on her, she would have spent it all without realizing it.

Therefore, except for days when she goes out shopping with a specific purpose, she does not carry a lot of cash with her.

Although there is an ATM in the store, she is afraid of being forgetful, so she never carries bank cards or other items that would be troublesome if lost, except when necessary.

In short.

She didn't have enough money on her.

For a moment, the girl's face showed an embarrassed expression.

Looking out of the shop, Yotsuki Sora saw the deep night, with dark clouds covering the city and a light spring rain falling.

The sound of the tapping echoed continuously from the signboard outside the store.

Damn.

This man, can he even bribe God?

Please stop raining so inappropriately!

In silence, Yozuki slowly closed her wallet, while struggling with her inner conflict.

Finally, she looked awkwardly at Toru Tazaki beside her, with a delicate expression that suggested she wanted to say something but couldn't.

"Um...Tazaki-sensei."

"Ok?"

"I was in a bit of a rush to leave today, could I...?"

Seeing the girl's embarrassment and recalling her action of opening her wallet, Toru Tazaki immediately understood.

"I understand."

Tazaki Toru took out the only 5,000 yen bill from his wallet and handed it to Handa Yozuki.

Yozuki was stunned; he hadn't expected Toru Tazaki to give the money so readily.

Being a composer is indeed very lucrative!

"Hmm... I'll return it to you tomorrow, thank you very much."

"it is good."

Tazaki Toru maintained his gentle and polite smile throughout, neither mocking her embarrassment nor making any deliberate sarcastic remarks.

It was as if a perfectly ordinary exchange was taking place, and the money was handed to her as a matter of course.

After paying, Yozuki Sakata bowed to Toru Tazaki again to express her gratitude.

Regardless of any prejudice she might harbor against Tazaki Toru, at least at this moment, Tazaki Toru had indeed helped her, so she should show the proper courtesy.

Then, the girl dragged her suitcase into the store.

Tazaki Toru stood there, while the cashier looked at him as if he were watching a bizarre TV drama and asked:

"Sir, are you still making a reservation?"

Tazaki Toru shook his head and said slowly, "No, I don't have enough money. Sorry to bother you."

After saying that, Tazaki Toru turned and left.

Standing alone outside the shop, Toru Tazaki gazed at the drizzle falling from the sky and muttered to himself:

"If I had known this would happen, I should have brought an umbrella."

Tazaki Toru is a person with little material desire.

For him, as long as he has the most basic means of livelihood, he can devote all his remaining thoughts and energy to creating music.

Most of the time, I only keep a few thousand-yuan bills and a Suica card in my wallet.

Just as Tazaki Toru was pondering where to spend the night, the automatic door behind him slowly opened.

The sound of high heels hitting the ground could be heard from inside.

Tazaki Toru turned around and looked back. When he saw the girl's face, he was slightly surprised: "Miss Sonoda?"

"I came out to get some water and saw you standing at the door. I asked the staff and found out you were planning to leave. I'm sorry."

The girl's eyes were filled with apology.

She seems to have misunderstood.

The composer didn't seem to earn as much money as she had imagined.

Tazaki Toru gave a nonchalant smile: "Ms. Soda, there's no need to apologize. I'm not like a girl like you who can go anywhere."

"........."

The drizzling rain washed over the streets of Shimokitazawa at night, creating a hazy curtain of rain before the two of them.

The raindrops falling on the signboard splashed everywhere with the force of the rain, leaping onto Toru Tazaki's cheeks. The glistening water droplets were like a blushing girl meeting her sweetheart, clinging firmly to his face for a long time.

Takada Yozuki raised her head and looked at the mysterious man beside her, unable to suppress the doubts in her heart.

"Tazaki-sensei, why did you lend me your last bit of cash?"

"Well……"

Upon hearing this, Tazaki Toru pondered for a moment.

half an hour.

"It was around this time last year, during a spring rain like this, when I was going through the most difficult period of my life."

"No job, no savings, no friends, nothing."

"Being in an unfamiliar environment, I don't know where I should go from here."

"It was at this time that I met someone."

“They extended a helping hand to me, paid my water and electricity bills for the many days I was stranded, and provided me with food and lodging.”

"Huh?! You're a kept man?"

Tazaki Toru was speechless, finding the statement quite amusing.

He continued, "I don't understand how anyone could be so selfless in helping others, even someone like me whom they just met."

"Even though the other person is also going through a low point in their life, they can bring vitality and energy to those around them, just like the rising sun at eight in the morning."

"I still remember the smell of the cherry blossom petals that stuck to the metal stair railing after they were wet from the rain."

"From that moment on, I made up my mind to be someone who can lend a helping hand to others."

"Moreover, my relationship with Ms. Sonoda is not just a chance encounter."

For some reason, Yozuki Sakata felt that Toru Tazaki's smile was gentler than usual when he talked about this past event.

"The person that Ms. Tazaki is talking about must be a girl."

Tazaki Toru exclaimed in surprise, "You can even tell from that?"

"It's my intuition."

Tazaki Toru smiled noncommittally.

As the rain began to recede, Tazaki Toru said softly:

"The rain seems to be stopping. Ms. Soda, you should go back first. I should also leave. Standing here is affecting the shop's business, and the staff might come and chase me away."

"how about you?"

"There's a convenience store nearby, and I can stand here and find some free magazines to read. I'll take my leave now."

Seeing that Tazaki Toru spoke so frankly, and that from beginning to end he did not show the slightest sign that he hoped to live with her.

Tazaki Toru walked into Shimokitazawa at night, and Miss Sonoda looked at his thin back, her heart softening slightly.

"...Please wait a moment."

Tazaki Toru stopped and turned around, thinking that Sora Yozuki had something else to say.

The girl stood there, hesitant, and lightly rubbed the ground with her unbroken high heel.

Finally, Yozuki Sakata took a deep breath and, through the slowly dissipating misty rain, gazed at Toru Tazaki in the distance with her beautiful eyes.

"If...Tashi-sensei is willing to split the cost with me."

"Let's stay together tonight."

353. Of course your sister Ha would secretly browse those off-site websites.

Compared to many men, Tazaki Toru possesses a rare and precious quality.

He was never indecisive or prone to internal strife.

Some people might think that this is a trait only arrogant people possess.

If you really want to say it that way, Toru Tazaki wouldn't argue.
