How's work?

"I'm alright, how about you, sis?"

"Don't even mention it, it's still the same as always. Fortunately, my parents haven't mentioned setting me up on blind dates lately, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to stay in this house for even a day longer."

From Kubo Miyu's tone alone, Tachibana Rin could imagine what her sister had gone through during this time, and she could only express her deepest sympathy for her.

While talking on the phone with her sister, Tachibana Rin returned to her bedroom, casually took two pieces of clothing from the closet and threw them on the bed, then picked up a suitcase from the corner of the bedroom.

How are Mom and Dad?

"Okay, everything's fine."

"Hey, Mingyou..."

Her older sister's voice sounded hesitant, which alerted Tachibana Rin to something amiss. She couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? Is something the matter?"

"Well... I wouldn't say there's anything wrong."

The older sister seemed to want to say something but hesitated.

Rin Tachibana suddenly realized something and asked anxiously, "Could something have happened to Mom and Dad?"

"No, they're all fine."

"Then just say it! You're so long-winded, it's driving me crazy."

"Well... Mom and Dad said they want to come see you tomorrow."

The suitcase I had just picked up fell back to the floor with a "thud," its four wheels whirring as they spun and slid all the way to the bedroom wall.

"What did you say?"

"Um... they said they miss you and want to come to Tokyo to see you."

"........."

Rin Tachibana took a deep breath, her tone becoming serious: "Sister, tell me the truth."

"It seems they want to find you some outstanding young men in the company."

"Isn't that still a blind date?!"

"I won't do it!"

My sister's reaction was exactly as expected.

"You know, this isn't something you can control."

Upon hearing this, Tachibana Rin panicked and blurted out, "But! But I already have someone I like."

"Who?"

Rin Tachibana suddenly fell silent, feeling that her sister was asking a question she already knew the answer to.

The next moment, Kubo Miyu finally reacted and exclaimed in shock:

"No! My dear sister, are you really involved in a love triangle? I was just joking with you before!"

"It's not a love triangle! Oh... don't worry about it, it's my own business, I know what I'm doing."

I'm so sorry, I'm really sorry.

It's not a love triangle, it's three... Damn it! How could I possibly say something like that!

Logically speaking, this is clearly a sex party!

If her parents found out about such disgraceful things to the Kubo family, wouldn't they break her legs?

I've really been ruined by Sister Yang; she's even made me lose my mind!

"Anyway, I'll come back tomorrow."

Without time to think, Tachibana Rin, in her distress, could only say this.

"Hey? You're coming back? You might get dragged off to a blind date right away."

"That's still better than letting them come here."

Knowing that there was a handsome man hiding in Tachibana Rin's house, Kubo Miyu was also a little helpless.

"Really? Then I'll tell them that."

Rin Tachibana's lips twitched, and she forced a "hmm."

However, Toru Tazaki, who was at the center of the storm, was unaware that he had been labeled as a strange person.

He had just finished packing his luggage and was sitting on the bed, talking on the phone with a girl.

She was completely unaware of the impending crisis facing Tachibana Rin.

389. He doesn't hate waiting.

"Tou-kun, you're leaving tomorrow, right? Have you packed everything?"

"It's not really about packing or not, just bring a few changes of clothes."

Late at night, Toru Tazaki sat alone in his bedroom, speaking in a calm yet gentle tone.

Suddenly, there was a slight pause on the other end of the phone, followed by a girl's soft question.

"Tou-kun, aren't you nervous?"

"will not."

Not at all?

Not at all.

Tazaki Toru was neither humble nor arrogant; his voice was calm yet powerful, which greatly surprised her.

She thought that it must be because Tazaki Toru had unwavering confidence in his own abilities that he was able to be so certain and focused, unaffected by any external forces.

While feeling admiration, I also felt a touch of envy.

"so good."

"very nice?"

"If only I could be as confident in my skills as Tou-kun," the girl said frankly.

In front of Tazaki Toru, she didn't need to have any reservations; she could simply express her true feelings.

"That's not why I'm not nervous."

Mika Kohinata's curiosity was immediately piqued, and she asked curiously, "Why is that?"

Tazaki Toru thought for a moment, then tilted his head back slightly. The bedroom ceiling light emitted a warm yellow glow, and the girl's vibrant smiling face appeared before his eyes.

For a moment, her voice softened even more.

"Because I know that Mika will be watching me from below the stage."

"........."

The girl's slightly flustered breathing came through the phone; her heavy breathing was somewhat similar to Miss Yang's signature breathy sound.

Why aren't you saying anything?

"Who told Tou-kun to say something that makes me feel embarrassed again? Are you deliberately teasing me and want to see me make a fool of myself?"

Tazaki Toru chuckled, then said:

"Although it wasn't a deliberate prank, I genuinely wanted to see it."

"Really."

She spoke in a truly sweet and charming tone, and then burst into a silly laugh.

"Alright, it's getting late. Tou-kun has to catch his train early tomorrow morning, right?"

"If my trip is delayed, I'll be in big trouble."

"it is good."

"Well... goodnight."

"OK, good night."

After a pause, Mika Kohinata added:

"See you tomorrow."

……

……

The next morning.

Tazaki Toru got up early, picked up the backpack she had packed the night before, glanced at the quiet second floor, and decided it was best not to disturb their rest, so she went out.

While riding the train, I confirmed with Mr. Fujinaga that we had already left and were heading to the team's meeting point.

This is the first time Tazaki Toru has been on a business trip since he came into this world.

As the main character of this trip, Ms. Minase wore a mask and hat very carefully when she went out.

If Tazaki Toru hadn't known beforehand, he would never have recognized her if they had just bumped into each other on the street.

As he boarded the Shinkansen bound for Osaka and watched the scenery outside the window recede into the distance, leaving the city of Tokyo behind, Tazaki Toru had a strange feeling.

He seemed to be increasingly integrated into this world, and even developed a sense of belonging to this cold city that many people believed would "eat people".

No matter where you go, it's always good to have a place to "go back to".

It doesn't feel bad.

Tazaki Toru sat by the window, next to Mr. Fujinaga.

Seeing that Tazaki Toru was staring out the window in silence, he assumed that Tazaki Toru was feeling nervous.

But when Fujinaga saw the relaxed and comfortable expression on Tazaki Toru's face, he felt a little relieved and took the initiative to talk to him.

"Tazaki-kun, how are you feeling?"

"It's like leaving home for a long journey."
