"May I?"

"of course."

Looking at the smiling Izumi, Amami Haruka expressed her gratitude to Izumi again and accepted this somewhat unique gift.

"Um, Chihaya-kun?"

When Izumi heard Haruka Amami say her last name, he was a little surprised.

"Ms. Tianhai, do you still remember my name?"

"Because it's the same name as my partner, it's easy for me to remember. I'm really happy to receive support from Chihaya-kun. Please continue to support us in the future!"

Facing the girl who bowed to him, Quan also nodded politely.

“I will continue to support it.”

After receiving Izumi's affirmative answer, Amami Haruka was overjoyed. After expressing her gratitude to Izumi again, she hurried away, as if there was something else in the office that needed her to deal with.

Watching Amami Haruka leave, Izumi was a little worried that she might accidentally fall again on the way to the office.

'Sign it?'

Looking down at the signature on the back of his phone, he silently put the phone case back on and put it back in his pocket. He then looked towards the dessert shop where Nagasaki Souyo and Wakaba Mu were...

238. Nagasaki Soyo's Death Struggle

Nagasaki Shoyo originally wanted to ask Wakaba Mutsu about Toyokawa Shoko, but at the moment she was about to open her mouth, she vaguely thought of Toyokawa Shoko. It seemed that her relationship with Wakaba Mutsu was not as close as she had imagined, and she probably didn't know much about Toyokawa Shoko's movements.

"Now that I have Quanjun, there is no need to ask her about Xiangzi anymore. Besides..."

Complex emotions emerged in Nagasaki Sose's heart. Looking at Wakaba Mutsu who was sitting opposite her and enjoying the fruit parfait, she quickly lowered her eyes.

"Xiao Mu has joined the school's horticulture department now, right?"

"Ah."

Wakaba Mutsu slowly raised his head and looked at Nagasaki Souyo who was sitting opposite him.

In her heart, she had already prepared herself mentally for Nagasaki Soyo to talk to her about Toyokawa Shoko, but she did not expect that he would talk to her about the gardening club first.

"The Horticulture Department is related to planting, right? What do they usually plant?"

“…Various.”

Ruo Ye Mu was a little surprised that Nagasaki Shoyo would talk to her about the Horticulture Department, but this was one of the few topics that interested her, so after Nagasaki Shoyo asked about the Horticulture Department, she also answered.

The voice was soft and there was no trace of emotion in it. Even though she had given her answer, Nagasaki Souyo couldn't help but feel that it was perfunctory.

"for example?"

"Fruits...vegetables, and flowers, too."

"Where's Xiaomu? What's he planting?"

"..."

Wakaba Mutsu lowered his head, staring at the juice in front of him and fell into a brief silence.

“Spineless cucumber.”

"Hmm? Ah...Is that so? Cucumber..."

After Wakaba Mutsu gave the answer, Nagasaki Shoyo was stunned for a moment. She looked at Wakaba Mutsu who was sitting opposite her. It took her a long time to react. Staring at Wakaba Mutsu who was sitting in front of her, she found it difficult to connect the cucumber with the girl in front of her.

Nagasaki Soyo, who had no interest in gardening and cucumbers, did not continue the conversation on this topic and instead talked about some current things in his band.

"..."

Wakaba Mu was not very interested in the affairs of Nagasaki Soyo's current band, especially from Nagasaki Soyo's narration, she did not feel the real feelings of Nagasaki Soyo who was immersed in the band.

Perhaps, Ruo Yemu was not so good at conversation, but she could clearly feel the emotions of the people around her.

"Xiao Mu, are you really not considering joining my current band?"

He probably knew that Wakaba Mutsu had no intention of joining his band, but seeing that Wakaba Mutsu had not joined any other band yet, Nagasaki Shoyo still extended an invitation to the girl in front of him.

"Shuangshi, do you think the band is happy?"

"..."

Nagasaki Soyo, who was holding a cup of coffee, suddenly froze after hearing Wakaba Mutsu's words, and stared at the girl opposite him.

"……What's the meaning?"

Forcing a smile, Nagasaki Shoyo asked the girl in front of him.

Sensing a hint of danger, Wakaba Mutsu remained silent and did not answer.

"..."

The two fell into silence. For a period of time afterwards, neither of them communicated with each other. Nagasaki Shoyo didn't want to take the initiative to chat with Wakaba Mutsu anymore. He looked outside the store and unexpectedly noticed a familiar figure outside the store.

He didn't see clearly what the two were talking about, but seeing that the atmosphere between them seemed to become heavy, Nagasaki Shoyo looked outside the store.

Izumi, who was standing outside the dessert shop, happened to meet Nagasaki Soyo's gaze. Their eyes met. Izumi smiled at Nagasaki Soyo who was inside the store, and then silently walked to a blind spot where Wakaba Mutsu couldn't see him, waiting for the two to come out of the store.

'Have you arrived yet?'

Picking up the coffee on the table and taking a sip, Nagasaki Shoyo used the action of drinking coffee to conceal his inner changes. He didn't want Wakaba Mu to notice his abnormality, but his eyes narrowed slightly and he couldn't help but look outside the store.

"I can't see it anymore...did it go somewhere else? Was it waiting for Xiao Mu and I to go out?"

She pursed her lips gently and looked at Ruoye Mu opposite her. Seeing that she was still enjoying the parfait, she did not disturb her. But in her heart she was thinking about how to cooperate with Quan later, and she was a little concerned.

Even though she had reached a consensus with Izumi before, Nagasaki Shoyo still had no idea what Izumi would do to her. She didn't know what level of intimacy Izumi was talking about.

Ruoye Mu also noticed something from his absent-minded reaction.

"..."

But even though he knew that Nagasaki Soyo was thinking about something else, Wakaba Mu didn't ask. He just quietly finished his fruit parfait and, under the leadership of Nagasaki Soyo, went to Omotesando together...

Omotesando at Jingumae 4-chome is synonymous with fashion and high-end shopping experience. Fashion brands from all over the world are located here, and it is known as the 'Champs Elysees of the East'.

Izumi, who followed Nagasaki Soyo and Wakaba Mutsu, was stopped by someone not long after he walked out of the station with the two of them. He was enthusiastically asked if he had any ideas about becoming a model.

"By the way, NHK is in front of the Jingu Shrine in Shibuya, right?"

Thinking of the famous landmark building in front of the shrine and the many entertainment agencies located in Shibuya District, Izumi shook his head and rejected the invitation of the person in front of him who was suspected to be a scout, and continued to follow Nagasaki Soyo and Wakaba Mutsu who had not walked far.

Quan followed the two girls silently but did not disturb their shopping.

In Quan's mind, he had already thought about how to appear in front of the two of them and leave a deep enough impression on Ruoye Mu, so before he actually took action, he planned to leave the two of them with enough shopping experience, and then appear in front of them when the time was right.

When Nagasaki Soyo and Wakaba Mu entered a fashion store together and came out with a shopping bag each soon after, Quan, feeling that the time was about right, slowly walked towards the two of them...

"Is that enough? Don't you want to check out other stores?"

Walking out of a boutique specializing in women's fashion together with Wakaba Mutsu, Nagasaki Shoyo looked at Wakaba Mutsu beside him and couldn't help but ask.

Ruo Ye Mu did not answer, but just shook his head silently.

"It's a rare opportunity for us to go shopping together, it would be a shame to end it like this, can you stay with me for a while longer?"

Looking at Wakaba Mutsu who was shaking his head, Nagasaki Soyo actually no longer had the idea of ​​continuing to stroll around. It was just that Izumi had not shown up for a long time, which made Nagasaki Soyo anxious. At the same time, he was thinking of ways to delay Wakaba Mutsu.

239. At that moment he was possessed by a soul!

'Speaking of which, if I stand in a conspicuous place, and then let Souyo lead Wakaba Mu to my side first, and when they see me, they show a scared and uneasy expression, and try to lead Wakaba Mu away, then I pretend to have seen Nagasaki Souyo 'by chance' and appear in front of them, will that be more effective? '

Seeing Nagasaki Soyo and Wakaba Mutsu walking out of the fashion store, Quan came up with a more "visual" plan in his mind, but it seemed too late.

Taking slow steps, Quan slowly walked towards the two people who were standing at the door of the fashion store and talking.

Just as Wakaba Mu was about to answer, a hand suddenly fell on Nagasaki Shoyo's shoulder, causing Nagasaki Shoyo, who was unaware of it for a moment, to show a look of surprise on her face. The steady weight of the hand made her instantly realize that the hand on her shoulder must be a man's hand.

I turned around subconsciously and saw Quan looking at me with squinting eyes and smiling.

'when? ’

Nagasaki Soyo, who was still wondering when Izumi would appear, couldn't help but be surprised when Izumi actually appeared in front of her. She didn't notice when Izumi came behind her at all.

"Today, he suddenly said something happened, which made me a little worried. Are you shopping with friends?"

The soft and gentle voice made Nagasaki Shoyo stunned for a moment. He looked at Izumi behind him. Facing his gentle and smiling face, and his not-cold eyes, the contrast formed by this made Nagasaki Shoyo's heart suddenly tremble, and a chill inexplicably rose behind his back.

Before Nagasaki Soyo could figure out how to respond, Izumi, with her hand on Nagasaki Soyo's shoulder, walked past her and came in front of Wakaba Mu, seemingly observing the girl in front of him with curiosity.

"I know you. You're the guitarist of the band 'CRYCHIC', right? Your name is... Wakaba Mutsuki? Is this our first meeting? I'm Chihaya Izumi, please give me your guidance."

Izumi stretched out his hand in front of Wakaba Mutsu, introduced himself, and waited for Wakaba Mutsu's response.

But looking at the boy in front of him, the gentle smile on his face made Ruoye Mu feel inexplicably disgusted, and he did not make any response to Quan, so that Quan's hand was hanging empty between the two of them.

"that--"

Nagasaki Shoyo was just about to say something to ease the atmosphere, but she saw that Quan's palm was already blocking her, and he naturally withdrew his right hand.

"I also saw Miss Wakaba at the live venue last time, but unfortunately, I didn't have the chance to approach Miss Wakaba at that time. Today, let's just get to know each other briefly. I'm really sorry to disturb you while you're shopping. Let's stop here for today."

After smiling at Wakaba Mutsu, Quan turned around and looked at Nagasaki Soyo behind him. However, the smile on his face gradually faded, and he looked at Nagasaki Soyo in front of him as if he were an object.

"Is that enough? Let's go back."

"I...wait..."

Before Nagasaki Soushi could get used to Izumi's expression and reaction, Izumi, who had walked up to her, put his hand on her shoulder without saying a word, and hugged her forcefully, ready to take her away from this place.

Seeing what was happening in front of him, Ruo Yemu hesitated for a moment, then quickly walked up to the two of them and held Nagasaki Shoyo's hand.

Although Wakaba Mutsu was not sure what the relationship between this boy and Nagasaki Souyo was, seeing Nagasaki Souyo's reluctant reaction, she chose to help Nagasaki Souyo. After blocking the two's way, she held Nagasaki Souyo's hand tightly, preventing this strange boy from taking Nagasaki Souyo away.

"Let go...Shuangshi."

Looking up and looking into the eyes of the boy in front of him, there was no trace of fear or uneasiness on Ruo Yemu's face.

"Xiao Mu?"

Nagasaki Shoyo, who was feeling uncomfortable with Izumi's behavior and frowning as he was thinking about how to cooperate, was stunned when he saw Wakaba Mutsu suddenly standing in front of him and holding his hand.
