Smiling and shaking his head, he went into his room and sat down in front of the computer.

"The apartment has been rented, and now it's time to buy some furniture... In addition..."

Picking up his phone, Quan opened Line and looked at Nagasaki Souyo's profile picture.

There had been no movement from the other party since the performance ended yesterday. She had obviously noticed him and her mother standing together on the stage, but she did not come with Aine to see him after the performance to ask about her mother, and there was no news in the evening.

'Has your sex changed?'

When Quan was wondering whether Nagasaki Shoyo had changed his mind, been influenced by Saint Aine, and was no longer entangled in the mundane world, accompanied by a vibration and a red dot, the news about Nagasaki Shoyo appeared above his window.

208. The liar you are talking about, isn’t it you yourself?

"Izumi-kun, I'm sorry for suddenly inviting you out to meet me."

Instead of meeting at 'RiNG', Nagasaki Shoyo met Izumi in an unknown cafe.

Seeing the young man sitting down in front of him, Nagasaki Shoyo took the initiative to apologize for suddenly asking Izumi to come out to meet him. The apologetic expression that appeared on her gentle face made Izumi, who had just sat down, raise his eyebrows slightly, but did not show any attitude.

"A cup of black coffee."

After calling the waiter, Quan ordered a cup of coffee, and then looked back at Nagasaki Soyo in front of him.

"Before you contacted me, Shuangshi, I hadn't decided what to do today. But your contact gave me something to do. So do you want to ask me some questions?"

Facing Izumi's gentle smile, Nagasaki Shoyo pursed his lips, adjusted his mood in his mind, and then spoke slowly.

"Yesterday, during the live show, I seemed to see Quan Jun and..."

"Shuangshi's mother? If that's the case, Shuangshi didn't ask your mother, what happened?"

He interrupted what Nagasaki Shoyo was about to say and looked at the girl in front of him with confusion. The confused expression on Izumi's face made Nagasaki Shoyo fall silent.

Originally, she was going to ask her mother why she was with Quan yesterday, but after seeing her mother, she found that she couldn't ask. As the other party was busy with work, she had forgotten how to communicate with her mother.

What was originally just a simple inquiry turned out to be extremely difficult.

Even though she heard footsteps outside the door, she was unable to stand up, open her door, walk out of her room and ask her mother the doubts in her heart.

Seeing the silent Nagasaki Soyo, Quan also noticed something.

"Well, it's not a complicated matter. I just helped Ms. Nagasaki who was in trouble on the road before, and then I happened to meet her again yesterday. I learned that she was your mother, so I talked about you and brought her to the live at her request."

Izumi omitted the meaningless parts and extracted the key content, explaining to Nagasaki Souyo the reason why he and Ms. Nagasaki appeared together.

"trouble?"

After hearing what Izumi said, Nagasaki Shoyo was stunned and looked at the young man in front of him in astonishment.

"She was walking in a hurry and accidentally tripped. I just happened to pass by and helped her out. It wasn't a big deal, but I didn't expect that she would be your mother. It was only when she gave her last name yesterday that I vaguely realized that she looked a lot like you."

Nagasaki Soyo, who was still worried that his mother had encountered some trouble, suddenly felt relieved after hearing Izumi's explanation, and looked at Izumi with a hint of gratitude.

"Thank you, Izumi-kun."

"Nothing, just something that happened by chance. Maybe it's fate. I didn't expect that the person I helped would be Shuangshi's mother. Besides..."

With a chuckle, Izumi responded to Nagasaki Soyo's thanks. He looked at the coffee the waiter brought in front of him, thanked the clerk, and looked at Nagasaki Soyo who was sitting opposite him.

"Haven't you thought about the previous matter yet?"

"...It's a little hard to decide. If everyone works hard now, they can definitely become an excellent band. I believe in that."

With her ten slender and clean fingers pressed in front of her body, Nagasaki Shoyo pursed her lips lightly and lowered her eyes, looking at the coffee in front of her and her own reflection in the coffee cup.

"But no one knows how long it will take to develop to the point where you can help Ms. Toyokawa. During this period, Ms. Toyokawa may have her own ideas. The memories of your band will also gradually fade away during this period. Nothing remains unchanged. Ms. Toyokawa's withdrawal from the band shows this. The future will continue to change. Only this matter will not change."

Nagasaki Shoyo pursed his lips. Even though he wanted to deny Quan's remarks, he knew in his heart that this was the most likely development.

Looking at Nagasaki Soushi's conflicted expression and based on what he just said, Quan himself even suspected that he was a disciple of Tzeentch.

"What should I do to make Xiangzi willing to come back? Just using the method that Quan Jun mentioned won't make Xiangzi stay by my side forever, right?"

"Oh, not back to the band, but to your side?"

With his hands clasped in front of him, after hearing what Nagasaki Soyo said, Izumi raised his eyebrows slightly, but did not point out the problems in Nagasaki Soyo's speech. Instead, he nodded slightly, agreeing with the problems she pointed out.

"It's just pure guilt. Naturally, there's no way Xiangzi can stay in the band for a long time. The key is to have enough income to support her current life."

"I'm still a student, and my pocket money is only 100,000 yen a month. Is that enough?"

"..."

Looking at Nagasaki Soyo who looked hesitant, Izumi fell into silence.

"For an average student, 100,000 yen is definitely more than enough, but for Ms. Toyokawa, I think it's probably not enough. Then, how about listening to my plan first?"

Nagasaki Shoyo frowned slightly and felt a little dissatisfied when she heard Izumi's comments. In her opinion, her pocket money was already a lot and should be able to cover Toyokawa Shoko's living expenses.

Although she once lived in an ordinary family environment, when it comes to living expenses, Nagasaki Soyo, who suddenly became a young lady without much contact, obviously does not know how to bear the living expenses of a family and herself.

"Because now Toyokawa Shoko has encountered an accident, and she needs enough living expenses, and you want to help Shoko, but you don't know how to help her. At this time, a man appeared in front of you, claiming that as long as you agree to his conditions, he can help change Shoko's current situation. So after struggling and thinking, you agreed to the other party's conditions, but you didn't expect that the other party was a liar, who played you and hurt you all over. Then Shoko accidentally discovered this, making Shoko feel guilty. What do you think?"

"..."

Nagasaki Soyo looked at the boy in front of him with subtle eyes. He always felt that the previous content was somewhat familiar, as if it was happening, while the following content had an inexplicable sense of déjà vu, as if it was about to happen.

"Quan Jun... that liar, could it be you?"

209. One lacks money, one lacks love, and the other lacks morality.

In response to Nagasaki Shoyo's question, Izumi picked up the black coffee in front of him and smiled without saying a word.

"Then...what about Xiangzi's matter?"

Nagasaki Soyo, with a frown on her face, didn't care too much about the setting of 'being toyed with and bruised all over'. Instead, she cared more about how to make Xiangzi benefit from this matter. She stared at Quan in front of her with questioning eyes.

"As long as you agree to this, Xiangzi's problem can be solved."

Taking a sip of black coffee, Quan looked at Nagasaki Soushi in front of him and answered with a smile.

For a moment, Nagasaki Shoyo could no longer tell whether Izumi's words just now were proposing a plan to deceive Xiangzi or simply deceiving herself. She could no longer tell what Izumi meant.

"...Quan Jun, what exactly do you want to do?"

Looking at the smiling Izumi, Nagasaki Shoyo felt that he seemed to be unable to see through the boy in front of him. He frowned and fell into deep entanglement.

"I just don't quite understand why you are so persistent with Ms. Toyokawa, so I want to see if your persistence with Ms. Toyokawa is meaningful. If you sacrifice yourself, will Ms. Toyokawa be moved by your behavior and return to the band."

Taking out a black jewelry box from his pocket, Izumi placed the box on the table and pushed it in front of Nagasaki Soushi.

"As long as you agree, then there is no need to worry. Ms. Toyokawa will find a solution to her current difficulties."

"What's...in here?"

His eyes fell on the exquisite pure black jewelry box on the table. Nagasaki Shoyo bit his lip lightly, then raised his head and looked at Izumi in front of him.

In response, Quan did not give any explanation, but just raised his hand to signal Nagasaki Shoyo that he could open it and take a look himself.

"..."

Accompanied by silence, Nagasaki Soyo slowly raised his left hand, pressed on the jewelry box, held it in front of himself, gently pressed it with both hands, and opened the jewelry box. A soft white hollow collar close to the skin color lay quietly in the jewelry box.

The reason why it can be identified as a necklace is that the one in the jewelry box is much larger than the bracelet.

Shocked.

Then she raised her head and looked at Quan who was sitting opposite her. She suppressed her inner anger, and forced a smile on her face, confirming with Quan in front of her.

"Um... Quan Jun, what does this mean?"

"This is sacrifice. If you don't show it more obviously, Miss Toyokawa won't know how much you've sacrificed for her, right? Do you think it's possible for Miss Toyokawa to change her mind without giving anything?"

Facing Nagasaki Soyo's questioning, Izumi seemed very calm, with no expression on his face, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

"Of course, you don't need to wear this in normal life, but he was the guitarist in the band, and he had a good relationship with Ms. Toyokawa. He went to the same school as you, Soshi, right?"

"..."

Looking into Izumi's calm eyes, Nagasaki Shoyo fell silent, but after a long silence, she closed the jewelry box and pushed it back in front of Izumi.

“This is not necessary.”

"..."

As if returning the cucumber to Wakaba Mutsu, Nagasaki Shoyo had no expression on his face and rejected Izumi's suggestion calmly.

"Don't you think about it?"

"..."

Nagasaki Shoyo didn't say anything, but pushed the jewelry box back in front of Quan and then withdrew his hand. His refusal was very obvious.

Seeing that Nagasaki Soushi did not answer and just silently pushed the jewelry box back, Quan did not try to persuade her anymore. After nodding slightly, he took back the jewelry box.

"I understand. However, if you can't do anything for Xiangzi, it will be difficult to change her mind. If you change your mind, you can contact me again. After all, I can really solve Ms. Toyokawa's problem."

After Nagasaki Souyo refused, Izumi did not stay any longer. He stood up, smiled at Nagasaki Souyo, leaving her room to regret, and walked to the front desk of the coffee shop to pay for their two cups of coffee.

Last time, it was Nagasaki Shoyo who treated him, and this time, he paid for her coffee.

"It can be considered as repayment."

Izumi felt a little regretful when he walked out of the coffee shop. He thought the other party would agree, but now it seems that the other party still hasn't felt the pain of "losing my love forever".

"If she sees Toyokawa Shoko walking happily with another girl, it should have some effect, right?"

Now, Quan really hoped that Nagasaki Soyo would agree to it. Then, he would appear in front of Toyokawa Shoko as a bad guy, hand the thick envelope to Toyokawa Shoko, and then leave a message saying, "This is what your friend asked me to give you. If you don't want to accept it, just give it back to her." Then, he watched Toyokawa Shoko see Nagasaki Soyo wearing a collar...

I looked back at the coffee shop I came out of, and Nagasaki Sose was probably still inside.

"Pity."

If he failed this time, then he would just have to keep waiting. He didn't think Nagasaki Shoyo could hold on for long.

She can neither completely accept the current band members, nor can she win back those who have left. She is like a half-baked person, wavering between left and right, and only feels doubly tortured in her heart.

"You can't take responsibility for someone else's life. You say you're willing to do anything, but it's not really that serious, right?"

But no one can blame Nagasaki Souyo for being like this, as she is essentially just a child who lacks love.
