Gravity Girl Shining

Sanguo put down his wine glass confidently.

"Shigasaki, are you still worried?"

"Well, it just feels like it happened so suddenly, like a dream. But Mr. Sanguo is so sure of Uehara-kun's potential, could it be that you have met him before?"

"Not really. Today is the first time we meet. I had only heard of him before."

Soichiro Mikuni remembered the information revealed to him by Masakaki. After the last war, the [Financial Street] was reset and the assets of all related parties were cleared. Hibiki Uehara is now the only black card holder in the world.

"As for meeting him today, it was purely accidental. It was luck for me."

It was Sanguo's words that convinced her, and Nagasaki Takako finally felt relieved.

"I didn't expect you, Mr. Sanguo, to believe in luck. I had the impression that every decision you made was the result of careful calculation."

"Why not? Shigaraki, do you know why I chose my assistant back then?"

"do not know."

Takako Nagasaki had just divorced at that time and was in urgent need of a higher-paying job, so she submitted an application with a give-it-a-give attitude.

"It was luck, just luck, that made me choose you at first sight among hundreds of names. Takako, you happen to have the same name as my deceased sister, so I felt that this was fate and chose you directly."

Soichiro Mikuni took out a Fukuzawa Yukichi card from his pocket and placed it in another empty wine glass.

"Having this name and being noticed by me is luck. But the fact that you were able to rise from assistant to your current position is all due to your talent. Do you understand?"

"Understood. I'll take my leave now and immediately make arrangements for your subsequent meeting."

Leaving the meeting room, Nagasaki Takako's steps couldn't help but become lighter.

She has a strong belief in Mikuni. Having been noticed and invested in by such a great figure, Nagasaki Takako no longer has any doubts about Uehara Hibiki's talent.

Besides, after observing him for the past few days, he has a good character. If he is such a promising genius, Su Shi and him...

Forget it, just let the young people develop.

Takako Nagasaki chose to believe her daughter.

After all, Nagasaki Suyo has always been reliable.

This is what she, a mother who rarely goes home, has always thought.

……

In the empty conference room, as Sanguo answered the phone, the photo of Fukuzawa Yukichi placed in the wine glass was eaten bite by bite by some invisible existence.

"Sanguo, I'm warning you, don't try to target black card holders."

"Kimaro, has my credibility in your eyes dropped to zero?"

"Takako can't be resurrected. It's enough for us to be alive like this. If you mess around, I will join forces with Zhen Zhu to beat you down again."

The call was hung up, and Sanguo looked at the girl in the dress who was tasting Fukuzawa Yukichi. The horns on her head had not fully recovered yet.

"Takako, what do you think?"

"That's good. In the new world, I can live with my brother. It doesn't matter if I'm not human."

The girl licked her green fingers, as if savoring the scent of the banknotes.

"And there are a lot of good songs. This new world is great."

No need to fight for money anymore, but live a normal and natural life.

Chapter 75: The collapse of Nagasaki Sushi.

After leaving the office, Uehara Hibiki looked at the notification of the money arriving quickly on his mobile phone, feeling so proud.

After his hard work and cheating, in less than three months, the number in the account reached seven figures.

So inspiring.

But in comparison, Nagasaki Suyo, who was walking beside him, looked very worried, and even the elegant mask of a young lady could hardly hide it.

Nagasaki Suyo has been acting strangely these past few days, but Uehara Hibiki has never been able to tell what emotions are hidden beneath her mask.

But after the orphan deck just now, Uehara Hibiki was able to confirm that what Nagasaki Suyo was hiding was guilt.

In Nagasaki Suyo's self-awareness, she made a mistake with Uehara Hibiki, a huge mistake.

Even though she could normally cover up with a mask, when the Orphan Deck actually hit Nagasaki Suyo's soft spot and caused a critical hit, her disguise gradually collapsed over time.

Now is a good opportunity to conquer this elegant young lady.

Uehara Hibiki calmly switched to serious mode.

"Su Shi, do you want to go have a cup of tea as a celebration for me?"

Under normal circumstances, Nagasaki Suyo would never refuse. She is reliable and always responds to other people's expectations.

But this time.

"Sorry, Hibiki, I'm feeling a bit under the weather and want to go home first."

This was the first time I rejected Uehara Hibiki's invitation.

Nagasaki Suyo stood there with her head down, and her expression could not be seen.

"Then I'll take you back. Since you're not feeling well, I can't let you go back alone."

Uehara Hibiki pretended not to understand the refusal in Nagasaki Suyo's words and continued to speak. If you are afraid of being cared for, then my care will leave you with no way to escape and you will be in a desperate situation.

"But...I...you're still busy..."

"I took a day off today, so I have a lot of free time. Besides, even if I had work, it wouldn't be as important as you, Su Shi."

Long-term experience and intuition told Uehara Hibiki that he had to do something at this time, otherwise he would soon have a long-awaited chase with the Tsukinomori Runner.

It can be said that everyone in MyGo really likes to run away.

Uehara Hibiki grabbed Nagasaki Suyo's left hand. The girl struggled gently, but she was like a little white rabbit caught by a brown bear, unable to resist.

Not to mention comparing with super-strong girls like Xiangzi and Li Xi, in terms of strength, Nagasaki Suyo would probably have to sit at the same table with the weak-looking Deng.

Besides, now that she was overwhelmed by guilt, she didn't have the courage to resist Uehara Hibiki.

In the end, Nagasaki Suyo gave up struggling and obediently walked to the execution platform led by Uehara Hibiki.

……

Back to the mansion in Roppongi, it's still the same as the last time I came.

It's deserted and there's no sign of life.

"I'll make tea."

Nagasaki Suyo raised her hand, which had been held all the way, to signal, but Uehara Hibiki just smiled, casually let go of her hand, and sat down comfortably on the sofa.

Although the physical constraints have disappeared, the shackles of the mind will not be removed as long as he remains in this house.

Hot Earl Grey tea, which is Nagasaki Sushi's favorite.

It still had the same aroma as last time, but she found it hard to swallow the tea today.

"Su Shi, don't you have anything to say to me?"

Faced with Uehara Hibiki's pressure, Nagasaki Suyo still responded with silence.

She wants to rebuild Crychic and return to the good old days.

However, she also didn't want to hurt Uehara Hibiki and everyone in MyGo.

Two thoughts conflicted with each other in her mind, and Nagasaki Suyo had lost the ability to take the initiative.

She was just carried away by time, moving forward blindly by inertia.

Looking at the girl's numb response, Uehara Hibiki sighed. He had thought about a lot of things along the way and guessed some of the truth.

"Let me tell you, Sushi. A week ago today, I came here to see my aunt off. That day, you treated me to the same cup of tea. At that time, you still smiled at me. I thought our relationship would gradually deepen in the future."

"That's true for this past week. It's been an ordinary and normal band routine. I can confirm that your smile isn't a facade. But right around this time, there was a turning point. Two days ago, when my aunt invited me to dinner, you became strange after that."

Uehara Hibiki drank the tea in one gulp, and the empty cup hit the coaster with a sound like a gunshot.

"I guess our plan to form a professional band was exposed to her, right? Although you immediately agreed with me at the time, your subsequent behavior seemed to indicate that you were not happy about this."

Uehara Hibiki's words were like a blunt knife, cutting through Nagasaki Suyo's defenses.

Nagasaki Suyo lowered her head, scratching her nails with both hands, leaving shocking cracks, and silently waited for the most fatal blow.

"Sushi, you still miss Crychic, right?"

The answer isn't hard to come by. After all, of the girls close to Uehara Hibiki, Toyokawa Shoko and Takamatsu Tomo have both been haunted by the ghost of Crychic. Shiina Tatsuki may seem open-minded, but her heart isn't necessarily unshaken. As for Wakaba Mutsu, Uehara Hibiki can't see through her for now, but Toyokawa Shoko has already said that Mutsu, too, misses Crychic.

Now with the addition of Nagasaki Suyo, it’s not too many at all.

Rather, it would be strange if Nagasaki Suyo didn't miss Crychic.

And Uehara Hibiki's tentative question eventually became the last straw that broke the camel's back for Nagasaki Soyo.

Ah, exposed.

Nagasaki Suyo showed a desperate smile. She had indeed revealed too many flaws in the past two days, as if she was subconsciously longing for today to come and deliberately left those flaws.

The kind-hearted Nagasaki Suyo longs for the day of judgment.

"I'm sorry, Hibiki."

Nagasaki Suyo admitted everything, then closed her eyes and waited for the trial.

But there was only silence.

When I opened my eyes again, what appeared before me was Uehara Hibiki's smirk from close range.

Subconsciously, the body leaned backward, and then lost balance and fell, but not to the ground. What greeted the back was a soft feeling.

Nagasaki Suyo fell on her back on the soft sofa.

Some things seem extremely bad. When you keep them in your heart, you always feel that they are extremely terrible, but if you say them out loud, the result may not be the end.

"Why do you need to apologize, Sushi? It would be bad if tears stained such a pretty face."

Uehara Hibiki sat down on the sofa, then half-lying down as well, turning his head to look at the surprise on the girl's face and the mountain that defied gravity.

Amazing.

It deserves to be the number one in MyGo.

But compared to Uehara Hibiki's understatement, Nagasaki Suyo couldn't forgive herself.

"Why? Why don't you scold me?"

"Because it's a very normal thing, to miss the good old days."

To be honest, Uehara Hibiki really doesn't think this is something serious enough to require repentance.

"Actually, I sometimes miss the old days, and that's okay."

But unlike Nagasaki Suyo who is stuck in the past, Uehara Hibiki only feels nostalgic when looking back on her past memories, but has no regrets.

The beauty has been preserved in the frozen past.

An uncertain future with an uncertain future.

Which one is happier?

Pointless question.

Because people cannot go back to the past.

Even if Uehara Hibiki had the power of the system, he couldn't do it, because even if the time of the whole world was reversed, his own memories/thoughts would not be reversed.

The beauty of the past exists only in memories. Forcing ourselves to go back to the past will only turn the future into an imitation of the past.

Uehara Hibiki wouldn't do that, he just greedily devours the present.

"But I'm the bassist of MyGo, but I've always been thinking about Crychic."

"Um, so what?"

"so……"

Nagasaki Suyo no longer cared about any disguise, turned over and threw herself on Uehara Hibiki, her long brown hair hanging down, isolating their faces from the outside world.
