Of course, there are many things in this world that can move him. He remembers everyone and everything that Tazaki Toru has encountered and has never forgotten them for a moment.

Simply meeting the other party once will not change his current thoughts.

Moreover, Tazaki Toru also wanted an answer for him.

……

……

night.

Tazaki Toumasa and Aoki Hina are spending time together in the music room.

Tazaki Toru, as usual, sat in front of his computer composing music.

Aoki Hina was playing "Spring Shadow" gently not far away.

Outside the window, fallen cherry blossom petals fluttered in the wind, landing on the outer windowsill.

There was no chattering or noise around me, and I remained undisturbed.

"It feels a little strange not having Rin-chan at home."

Tazaki Toru, standing beside him, smiled knowingly.

"But it's not all bad news."

"Good thing?"

"Finally, I can calm down and compose properly. I'm almost finished with my composition."

Tazaki Toru vaguely remembered that it was true.

"Once I'm done, I can play it for Tazaki-kun first."

"Yes, I'm looking forward to it."

"Hehe~"

Tazaki Toru's reaction clearly pleased the girl.

"Tazaki-kun taught me a lot about composing and using software, so I have to write something that I'm satisfied with."

"Miss Cai is quick to understand."

She seemed to say this intentionally, just so she could hear more praise from Toru Tazaki.

When the music room fell into a silent stillness, Aoki Hina didn't feel awkward at all. She just obediently held her guitar and stared intently at Tazaki Toru's serious and focused profile.

Whenever she softly called his name, Tazaki Toru would turn his eyes to look at her.

The moment the lyrics and sheet music in his eyes transformed into Hina Aoki, the girl sincerely felt that this was the happiest moment.

“Hey, Tazaki-kun.”

"Ok?"

"Tazaki-kun, you don't seem so gloomy tonight."

Tazaki Toru was taken aback by his words and couldn't help but ask, "Did I have that kind of expression before?"

The girl chuckled: "While it's not quite to that extent, it's certainly extremely rare on Tazaki-kun's face. I just added some adjectives without permission. Will that upset you?"

“How could that be?” Tazaki Toru shook his head.

"I am very grateful to Ms. Hina for listening to my troubles when I am not in a good state."

"As long as Tazaki-kun is willing to confide in me, I will drop some of my trivial matters and work and obediently be your listener."

"I think it's better not to give up your job."

Upon hearing this, Hina Aoki laughed heartily.

It seems that no matter what happens, he is still the same meticulous and methodical Toru Tazaki.

What others see as "boring" is, in Aoki Hina's eyes, the highest level of "interesting".

This is probably what the filter called "like" is.

Having spent so much time with Hina Aoki, Toru Tazaki could roughly discern that this was Hina Aoki's way of communicating.

She didn't pry too much into his mind, gave him complete respect, and added a touch of playful humor. I truly felt that she was a kind and understanding girl.

"I feel like Ms. Hina has changed a bit from before."

"Oh? What exactly is that place?"

Tazaki Toru gazed at the girl beside him, lost in thought for a long time.

"I don't know how to describe it, for fear of offending Ms. Hina. It's possible that this is just my misunderstanding, or perhaps Ms. Hina is just that kind of girl."

"I might be the one who has changed."

Tazaki Toru gave an embarrassed smile.

"Miss Hinata always gives me a very mature and steady feeling. I may not notice it on ordinary days, but when I am in a low mood, I seem to have become a little dependent on you without realizing it."

Hina Aoki stared blankly at Toru Tazaki in front of her, opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a sound.

Rin-chan, it's okay to rest for a few more days before coming back.

I can ask your agent for leave on your behalf.

Unfortunately, Hina Aoki's hopes were dashed.

Not long after, Tachibana Rin returned from Osaka as promised, and life returned to its usual rhythm.

Both girls were in great spirits; both Aoki Hina and Tachibana Rin seemed to have seen a glimmer of hope.

The alcoholic duo's lives have finally started to improve.

Rin Tachibana has finally resolved the biggest problem that has been troubling her, and she will no longer have to go home for arranged marriages to please her parents.

While part of the reason was to use Tazaki Toru as a shield, Tachibana Rin wasn't lying, since most of what she said was true.

As for Aoki Hina, during the two days that Tachibana Rin was away, she gave Tazaki Toru a good talking-to about his recent depression.

This made her feel that the previously stagnant relationship had made significant progress, and she was delighted about it.

As for whether this progress is her imagination.

We'll have to verify that gradually over time.

……

……

The last weekend of late April.

After finishing his composition meeting in the recording studio, Toru Tazaki left the studio early.

Arriving at a café near the station, Toru Tazaki pushed open the door and entered.

After looking around, Tazaki Toru found a slender figure in the corner of the coffee shop, who was currently facing away from him.

Surprisingly, Toru Tazaki was much calmer than he had imagined.

He didn't know if he was naturally like this or if it was because he confided in Hina Aoki.

In short, he is still the same old Toru Tazaki.

Tazaki Toru took a step and walked towards the other person.

"I'm very sorry, the work took longer than I expected. I don't think I'm late."

Gentle and humble words echoed in Yuriko Tazaki's ears.

420. A child completely different from what she had imagined. (Seeking monthly votes)

Arrive at the agreed-upon location an hour early.

It's the weekend, and the coffee shop is quite crowded.

Yuriko Tazaki was very worried that such a public place would make the child feel uneasy.

After all, he had always liked to face the wall and daydream by himself since he was a child.

According to the assistant, the other party seemed to be able to communicate normally on the phone.

A faint hope arose in her heart at this.

The reason she didn't make the call herself was simply because she was scared.

To be considerate of the other person's feelings, Yuriko Tazaki deliberately found a secluded corner to sit down.

Fragments of memories flashed through her mind, causing her hand, which was holding the coffee cup, to tremble slightly involuntarily.

Then a young man's voice rang in my ears.

The voice was gentle and upright.

She initially thought the other person had the wrong person, but when her gaze fell on Tazaki Toru's face, she was stunned.

She couldn't help but sit up straight, and with a slightly flustered gesture, she raised her fingers and brushed a few strands of hair that had fallen across her face behind her ear.

"Please, please sit down."

Tazaki Toru nodded slightly.

A young female employee from the coffee shop came over and handed over a menu.

While Tazaki Toru was looking through the menu, Tazaki Yuriko's eyes never left him for a moment.

A strange feeling spread through my heart, and I felt so nervous that it felt like my internal organs were being squeezed in my throat.

He was truly handsome, exuding a gentle and refined temperament from the inside out.

And she naturally noticed that the man standing in front of her, Toru Tazaki, was the same man who had taken a photo with Mika Kohinata.

Clearly, Mika Kohinata's relationship with him was much closer than she had imagined.

Tazaki Toru casually placed his order, then handed the menu back with a friendly smile.

The female shop assistant was so struck by that smile that she trembled, immediately lowered her head, and left with a blush on her face, forgetting even to ask for a second confirmation.

Tazaki Toru could naturally sense the anxious yet intense gaze in the other person's eyes, which revealed a sense of fear and apprehension. Therefore, Tazaki Toru decided to speak first.
