"Then I'll trouble Editor Toki."

"Just leave it to me, Teacher Kagetsu!"

After talking with Toki Kenjiro for a while, the other party took the manuscript and left the coffee shop. Quan looked at the other party's back and fell into thought.

Although it was just a whim of the other party to say that it could be adapted into a movie or TV series, if it can really be adapted, when it is released...

"It's too early to think about these things now. Let's wait until it's published... But the identity of the author of this work cannot be known to my family."

It is hard to imagine what kind of situation I would be in if my work became famous and my family knew about it. I would probably have to live alone and would never be able to go home again.

Picking up the coffee in front of him and taking a sip, Quan did not sit in the coffee shop for long. Not long after Toki Kenjiro left, he also stood up and left.

……

The signature that I had previously obtained from Toyokawa Shoko was placed by Izumi in the bedroom of the apartment. Every morning when he opened his eyes, he could see the signature on the bedside table.

Although Nagasaki Soushi saw it when she stayed overnight at his place, she didn't say anything. It was just that sometimes when Quan woke up, he would see her staring at the signature in a daze.

【Tomorrow, apartment. 】

Sitting alone on the bed, Izumi sent a message to Toyokawa Shoko, and within a moment, she replied.

【it is good. 】

Short and without any unnecessary content.

The next afternoon, after school, Izumi came to the apartment first. After waiting for a while, Toyokawa Shoko, wearing the Yuqiu school uniform, also entered the house. When she was about to change clothes, she was stopped by Izumi.

"That's it."

"..."

Toyokawa Shoko looked at Izumi who was sitting in the living room, was silent for a moment, walked slowly into the living room, and at Izumi's instructions, sat opposite him.

"Don't you need to play the piano today?"

"Not today, I just wanted to meet you and talk."

"..."

This simple sentence made Toyokawa Shoko think a lot. She pursed her lips and remained silent.

After not seeing each other for a while, Toyokawa Shoko suddenly calmed down, examined her relationship with Izumi, and found that she was becoming less and less wary of Izumi, so much so that she agreed to some very strange requests.

According to common sense, she should not agree to a request like a maid uniform, but... under the guidance of Quan's words, she agreed.

She said it was for a living, but when she agreed, she felt an irrational emotion guiding her and prompting her to agree.

'This can't go on.'

Toyokawa Shoko whispered to herself in her heart. She felt that what she should do now was to keep some distance from Izumi.

"Aine is in school. Is she still in contact with you?"

After Quan spoke, Toyokawa Shoko raised her head and looked at the boy in front of her.

"No."

After a pause, Toyokawa Shoko felt that her answer was too brief, so she added another sentence.

"We are not in the same class and have no chance to meet each other."

"Then, the light?"

After hearing how Quan addressed Takamatsu Deng, Toyokawa Shoko's eyes changed slightly. She seemed a little concerned about the relationship between Quan and Takamatsu Deng, but when faced with Quan's question, the introverted girl appeared in her mind. She was silent for a moment and shook her head.

She deliberately avoided contact with others in school and had become a invisible person in her own class, not to mention Chihaya Aine and Takamatsu Deng in other classes.

"Although we were in the same school, there was no reason for me and them to interact."

Looking directly at Izumi in front of her, Toyokawa Shoko roughly guessed the reason why Izumi asked these questions, so she simply gave the answers first to end this boring topic.

"Not long ago, I met Ruoye Mu."

"..."

"In a park, although we met, we didn't have much to talk about because we were not familiar with each other."

When she heard the name Wakaba Mutsu, Toyokawa Shoko felt a little nervous, but when she heard Quan say that he and Wakaba Mutsu had no communication, she felt a little relieved.

Looking at the boy in front of her, Toyokawa Shoko was a little worried about him and said something strange to Wakaba Mutsu.

"Have you told her about your job here?"

"..."

Toyokawa Shoko remained silent and did not answer, but looking into Izumi's eyes could be considered an alternative answer.

"There is one thing that I am a little curious about. At her current age, she is fully capable of making her debut, but she is still in school. Does this mean that her parents are not planning to let her develop into an entertainment talent?"

“She is not cut out to be an entertainer.”

If a person wants to develop in the entertainment industry, he must first have the emotional intelligence to understand human nature and the acting skills to disguise and protect himself, but Ruo Yemu does not have these.

It can even be said to be the exact opposite.

Once she enters that complicated environment, the girl named Ruoye Mu will be ruined.

"Please keep my work here a secret from her."

"Ah."

After hearing Toyokawa Shoko's request, Izumi nodded slightly and looked out the window.

After entering autumn, around 4 pm, the sky began to darken, but... people would not rest too early. Quan looked at Toyokawa Shoko in front of him.

"Can you go somewhere with me?"

"..."

Hearing that Quan wanted her to accompany him to a place, which meant leaving the apartment, Toyokawa Shoko was a little worried that once they left, they would be met by other people.

"where?"

She wanted to know where Izumi was going, and if it was somewhere crowded or near Yugaoka, she would refuse.

"Shinjuku."

"..."

This place is some distance away from Yuqiu, but there are a lot of people there, so there is a high probability that you will meet your classmates.

"She has no time?"

Toyokawa Shoko frowned slightly, but instead of refusing directly, she chose to use a tactful approach to try to make Izumi change his mind.

"I can call her."

But when faced with Toyokawa Shoko who tried to refuse, Izumi seemed not to understand what she meant, and even gave an even more outrageous answer.

457

Chapter 457 I have a plan that can bring cultural sacrifice back to light.

Under Izumi's 'coercion', Toyokawa Shoko thought and hesitated for a moment, but did not reject Izumi in front of her. She nodded slightly in silence and left the apartment with Izumi.

The two set out from the apartment on the train, and while Toyokawa Shoko was thinking about her presence in the school and how she wouldn't be recognized even if she met her classmates on the road, the two arrived at their destination unknowingly.

When walking out of the platform, Toyokawa Shoko couldn't help but look at Izumi beside her.

“Isn’t this Shinjuku?”

"But it's right next to Shinjuku, so it doesn't matter if you treat it as Shinjuku."

Toyokawa Shoko couldn't help but frown and wanted to refute Quan's words, but when she opened her mouth, she felt that there was no point in doing so, so she asked Quan about the purpose of coming here.

"Let's go. The destination is not far ahead."

Facing Toyokawa Shoko's question, the boy walked forward with a faint smile on his face.

At first, Shoko Toyokawa didn't care much, but as the two of them moved forward, Shoko Toyokawa became more and more familiar with the surrounding environment. Until she saw the familiar landmark building, she became more and more confused.

She looked towards Izumi beside her, but found that there was no expression on his face. Shoko Toyokawa had a little doubt in her heart, but she did not open her mouth to confirm with him.

When the two of them arrived at the entrance, Toyokawa Shoko stopped, closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and asked Izumi in front of her why he came here.

"What on earth do you want to do here?"

"Relax, can't you?"

"here……"

Looking at the Ferris wheel and the roller coaster track right in front of her, Toyokawa Shoko's eyes fell on Izumi's face.

"I'm not interested."

"Since you're already here, just think of it as if you've been tricked by me and go in and take a look."

"I hate cheating, so, today, let's stop here."

When she heard the word 'deception', Toyokawa Shoko's face looked quite gloomy. She did not continue to accompany Izumi towards the amusement park in front of them. Instead, Toyokawa Shoko bowed slightly to Izumi, preparing to say goodbye and leave. Izumi looked at Toyokawa Shoko's back, was silent for a moment, and smiled slightly.

He did not chase after her, but followed Toyokawa Shoko to leave the place together. After moving out of home, Quan and Toyokawa Shoko no longer walked together. He watched Toyokawa Shoko's figure gradually disappear at the end of his sight, while Quan walked slowly into the amusement park alone.

……

Under the bright night sky of Tokyo, the Ferris wheel slowly rose, taking him through the dim lights of this bustling city.

He sat there quietly, staring into the distance with an expressionless face.

The twinkling lights in the darkness represent the countless families living in this city, but he could not find the one light that belonged to him. He placed his hand lightly under his chin, his eyelids drooped slightly.

As he rose higher into the sky, the sight he saw from that height made Quan let out a soft sigh.

"Alone now?"

He retracted his gaze, and when the Ferris wheel returned to the ground, he put his hands into his shirt pockets and slowly walked towards home.

……

Although he has moved out of the house, Quan still keeps the key to the house.

Standing in front of the door, at 21 p.m., the lights were turned off at home. He walked slowly to the door, opened it with his key, lightened his footsteps and voice, and slowly walked into the house. Sitting in the entrance hall, he looked at everything familiar around him, and then slowly changed his shoes.

Even without turning on the lights, in this familiar environment, he could find the way back to his room even with his eyes closed.
