I hope it's just her imagination.

In this inexplicable atmosphere, there was a knock on the door of the lounge, and staff members brought in today's gifts.

"Could it be that Mr. Tazaki has arrived?"

Yang Gongfei was the first to ask a question, her eyes sparkling with a bright light.

"It was sent by Mr. Fujita."

The light in the girl's eyes vanished instantly.

The girls thanked the staff, but Yang Gongfeina found the chocolate cake in her hand incredibly bland.

It's not nearly as delicious as it used to be.

Suddenly, Yang Gongfei put down the plastic fork in her hand and couldn't help but sigh softly:

"Tazaki-sensei, it's been quite a few days since you last showed up."

Of the five people, three girls knew about it, but none of them brought it up.

Upon hearing Miss Yang's words, they all lowered their heads even further.

Needless to say, Hina Aoki and Rin Tachibana would never voluntarily reveal information about Toru Tazaki to others.

But this is war.

What is most important in war?

It's an information gap.

In her match against Mika Kohinata, Hina Aoki was already at a disadvantage, so why would she invite further trouble?

Mika Kohinata felt that she shouldn't casually reveal Toru Tazaki's new job, which is why she didn't offer any explanation.

"Maybe he has other work," Kobayashi Koko said.

Hina Aoki glanced at Hina Hiyomiya without making a sound.

"Little Sheep seems to be paying extra attention to Mr. Tazaki's whereabouts lately."

"Hmm...not really."

Yang Gongfei hesitated for a moment, but eventually voiced her concerns.

She has no ill intentions and doesn't know how to scheme. Although she is in the midst of a power struggle, she has yet to realize the feelings that other girls have for Tazaki Toru.

"If Mr. Tazaki mistakenly thinks I'm a troublesome drunkard, it's... kind of discouraging."

Yang Gongfei was telling the truth.

She didn't want special treatment from Tazaki Toru, nor did she want to develop a special relationship with him; she was simply misunderstood and alienated.

Yang Gongfei knows better than anyone that she is a girl who is bad at maintaining social distance and often makes silly mistakes.

It's rare to meet someone who appreciates her singing, and Yang Gongfei naturally doesn't want to be disliked by that person.

"It's alright. If we're talking about drunkards around here, you're definitely not one of them, right, Hina?"

“If you can’t speak, you don’t have to,” Hina Aoki said calmly.

Rin Tachibana thought to herself: Hey! Someone's getting impatient!

Mika Kohinata patted Hinata Hiyomiya on the shoulder and gently comforted her, "Hina, you're worrying too much. Professor Tazaki isn't the kind of person who would think that way."

"I think he must be busy with very important work, which is why he didn't have time to show up at the recording studio."

That statement sounds perfectly reasonable.

But when Tachibana Rin heard this, she immediately realized that Kohinata Mika was no ordinary woman.

She clearly accepted the concert tickets that Tazaki Toru specially prepared for her, yet she's hiding it here, pretending to be a sophisticated older sister.

What happened to team spirit?

Rin Tachibana thought that if MyGO were to fall apart one day, the cause would definitely be that man.

This was completely different from what she knew of—a dazzling, captivating girl band.

Perhaps Mika Kohinata's words of comfort had some effect, because Hinami managed to force a slightly forced smile.

There's no point in dwelling on it here.

Perhaps I should go find Mr. Tazaki and ask him directly.

The girls each had their own thoughts.

Throughout the entire ordeal, only Kobayashi Koko remained oblivious, completely unaware that these women were scheming against each other.

Why doesn't anyone eat cake?

It tastes pretty good.

Requesting monthly votes at the beginning of the month

It's a new month again, let's start by asking for monthly votes!

There are no double monthly tickets this month, so the earlier you vote, the better!

We will be holding a lottery for last month's monthly passes soon, and the winning numbers will be announced soon!

thanks for your support!

Please vote for me! Please vote for me! Please vote for me!

Please! I can do anything!

Leave

I went back to my hometown today. Although I brought my laptop, I forgot to bring the charger. I originally wanted to type on my phone, but I was a bit exhausted after helping my mom with chores all night, so I thought I'd better rest.

I asked for monthly votes at the beginning of the month and then took leave. I'm so sorry, brothers!

384. Miss Yang Gong, I'm willing to tell you this no matter how many times.

night.

After finishing his practice for the day, Tazaki Toru said goodbye to Ms. Minase and the others, as was his custom.

Tazaki Toru hears praise and compliments almost every day.

Even so, Mr. Fujinaga continued to enjoy it immensely.

Since Toru Tazaki joined the company, Mr. Fujinaga, who was known for his strictness, has been all smiles every day.

According to other staff members on site, the laughter was somewhat disgusting.

"Mr. Tazaki, thank you for your hard work. Please take care of me again tomorrow."

"Yes, please take care, Ms. Minase."

Today's closing time was later than usual, and Mr. Fujinaga arranged a taxi for Toru Tazaki.

Before the taxi arrived, Toru Tazaki sat quietly in the first-floor reception area, reviewing the day's practice in his mind and thinking about where he could have done better.

He was ultimately just a temporary substitute.

While she may be able to play the piano perfectly, she should not overshadow the lead singer.

A band is a whole, and a particular outstanding instrument becomes the band's defining characteristic.

However, an overly outstanding instrument can become a dissonance in the band.

Tazaki Toru understood this principle well, and always played the most harmonious music to maintain the connection between the band members.

This is Tazaki Toru's job.

He was very clear about what he should do, rather than simply showing off his superb piano skills.

This is one of the reasons why Toru Tazaki is often loved by musicians and professional musicians in this circle.

There is no other reason than this.

Working with Toru Tazaki is so easy.

In their circle, "reliability" has become the rarest quality.

Who could refuse a partner who, even without making explicit demands, can perfectly deliver results that meet or even exceed expectations?

This is thanks to Toru Tazaki's high standards for himself, which always allow him to do his job to the best of his ability.

Even though he is considered a genius, looking at the path that Toru Tazaki has taken, the effort he has put in and the footprints he has left are by no means shallower than those of others.

Buzz—Buzz—

The cell phone suddenly rang at that moment.

It was already close to midnight, and normally no one would call to disturb us so late at night.

When Tazaki Toru saw the caller ID picture, he paused for a moment, but then found it unsurprising.

"Hey…"

Tazaki Toru spoke softly.

"Ah... Good evening, Ms. Tazaki."

Good evening, Miss Yang Gong.

"Are you... are you asleep?"

The girl was breathing heavily, her distinctive, intermittent breaths making a distinct sound.

The heavy breathing sounds could be heard clearly even through the receiver.

Upon hearing Miss Hitomi's cautious yet inexplicable greeting, Toru Tazaki couldn't help but chuckle.

Yang Gongfei doesn't quite understand how to maintain social distance. Who would call so abruptly at midnight to ask if someone is asleep?

But this wasn't the first time she'd done something like this.

Tazaki Toru was not angry and remained mild-mannered.
