Thinking of Shiina Riki's evaluation of him last night, Naruse Ritsu felt that he seemed to have overlooked something.

It is difficult for humans to form a complete and correct understanding of themselves, and ancient dragons who have transformed into humans are no exception.

After sitting at the table thinking for half an hour - or perhaps just being in a daze for half an hour, he still couldn't find what he had missed.

However, it is true that I feel uneasy.

Ritsu Naruse wasn't sure whether this was the aftereffect of the critical hit that Ritsuki Shiina had landed on him, or whether he was feeling uneasy about Nerulu's dangling Sword of Damocles.

With this mood, he came to [Galaxy] and saw a wilted cucumber standing outside the studio door.

"Wakaba-san?"

As her voice appeared in this space, Mingse Ritsu clearly saw Wakaba Mu's body suddenly tense up, but after she raised her head and saw who was coming, it gradually relaxed.

"Come to see Toyokawa-san?"

"Um……"

"Aren't you going in?"

"It's over..."

Well, it seems that the conversation between the two was not very pleasant.

Seeing this lonely little cucumber, Ritsu Narose couldn't help but feel a little sympathy.

This was due to both his own empathy and the other person's pitiful appearance.

Wakaba Mu was petite and adorable, with silent golden eyes beneath her light green hair. Her fair skin was tinged with a hint of pink, and her seemingly emotionless eyes made her the most exquisite doll in the world.

Ritsu Narose admitted that part of his concern for her came from her appearance, from Wakaba Mu's silent and snow-like posture, and also from his inner desire to add color to this pure white.

But he also wanted to say that the reason he cared about Wakaba Mutsuki was more because of his relationship with Toyokawa Shoko, Nagasaki Suyo and others.

It will be beneficial to you to have a good relationship with her.

Sensing the gazes directed at him, Ruoye Mu shrank his body and hugged the bag of cucumbers in his arms tighter, which he had intended to give to Toyokawa Shoko.

130. Is this considered a kind of...

Ritsu Narose could sense that Wakaba Mutsuki didn't fully trust him yet, and he was quite satisfied with that.

So when he faced Wakaba Mu's eyes that seemed to be asking "Why are you helping me?", he could openly say that he was doing it to build a good relationship with her.

Wakaba Mu obviously didn't expect his answer to be so straightforward, so her face, as calm as a pool of stagnant water, could clearly show her inner astonishment.

Perhaps she felt his sincerity, or perhaps she had no other choice, Ruo Ye Mu was silent for a moment, and whispered what she had said to Toyokawa Shoko a few minutes ago.

Invite Toyokawa Shoko to watch the live performance of Nagasaki Motoyo's band - her troubles may seem insignificant to those who are not involved, but Ritsu Narose, who sees the vortex about to take shape, is aware of the chaos.

"She agreed?"

Faced with this question, Ruoye Mu nodded.

"Isn't that a good thing? Her willingness to go live proves she has the courage to face her past."

This time Ruo Ye Mu did not respond - she neither nodded to confirm nor shook her head to object, but just lowered her head quietly like a child who had done something wrong.

Ritsu Narose doesn't know where her pessimism comes from, but Wakaba Mutsu, who should know Toyokawa Shoko better, is inherently more authoritative when it comes to topics related to her.

Unable to make progress on this topic, he turned his attention to the package of juicy cucumbers. Regarding this gift that hadn't been given away, Naruse Ritsu had an idea to cut the Gordian knot.

A minute later, he regretted his uncharacteristic and bad idea.

The other two people in the room looked at Wakaba Mu, who had the demeanor of a killer delivering his target's head. They silently threw the bag of cucumbers in front of Toyokawa Shoko, and finally turned and left without saying a word.

To be honest, Wakaba Mutsu's acting skills are quite strong - he completely nailed the part of Narose Ritsu's plan that used metaphors.

Seeing Wakaba Mutsuki in this form, a blue-haired girl who was working was stunned at first, and then focused her attention on the only suspect.

"Isn't this good?" With a smile on his face, Ritsu Narose sighed kindly.

Knowing that her verbal attacks could not penetrate the opponent's shield, Toyokawa Shoko could only glare at him unwillingly and then continue with her work.

On the other side, Wakaba Mutsu, who had already left, expressed his gratitude to Naruse Ritsu on Line after giving the cucumber, and also thanked him for bearing the delayed firepower of Toyokawa Shoko for him.

The first one was acceptable to Ritsu Narose, but the second one made him feel unworthy.

After all, Shoko Toyokawa looked extremely calm now, so calm that he suspected it was the terrifying silence before a volcanic eruption.

However, Ritsu Narose's vigilance disappeared within an hour.

The reason was simple, because he saw Toyokawa Shoko open the bag on her own initiative, take out a cucumber planted by Wakaba Mutsu himself and look at it in front of her.

Then, the first cucumber was placed in Ritsu Narose's hand.

"What is this? Borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha?"

"Really? Then what level of Buddhahood are you in?" Facing his teasing, Toyokawa Shoko just asked back with a wooden face.

"The Great Bodhisattva with six impure sense organs."

Mingse Ritsu clasped his hands together, closed his eyes with a smile, and the light above his head seemed to turn into Buddha's light shining above his head.

"From the Little Leiyin Temple?"

Wu Yiqi's father zero Qi Huo 1 Ling Meng "The remains of the group."

The two people talked about completely unrelated things, but it was this kind of atmosphere of nonsense that gradually eased the tension.

Handing the revised lyrics to Toyokawa Shoko, Naruse Ritsu broke open a cucumber and prepared to enjoy it while pretending to be nonchalant and asked, "Wakaba...did she do something to offend you?"

Toyokawa Shoko paused for a moment at this, then continued her busy work as if nothing had happened. After a moment, she responded with a straight face, like a blue browser that had just finished lag: "This has nothing to do with my work, right?"

"It's really unrelated. It's just my personal curiosity and speculation."

Is it really just a guess?

To be honest, Shoko Toyokawa felt a slight chill on her back when she heard his judgment.

"Are you a prophet from some story? Or a traveling fortune teller?"

"I used to travel quite a bit, and maybe because of that... I guess my experience is a bit richer than the average person's."

Is it really just “a little”?

His "self-modestness" reached the point where he could be called "arrogant", but Toyokawa Shoko did not have the courage to refute the other party, for fear that more of the truth would be revealed.

As for Ritsu Narose, when he saw that Shoko Toyokawa did not respond but chose to change the subject, he had already prioritized certain speculations through this evasive attitude.

"But Toyokawa-san clearly cares about Wakaba, so why does he deliberately adopt that attitude?"

"Interrogation?"

Hearing these sarcastic words and seeing the girl's cheeks slightly puffed up, Ritsu Narose immediately raised his hands in surrender and ended the topic that seemed to have touched the other party's red line.

Seeing that he had the good sense to shut up, Toyokawa Shoko, who thought she had won a great victory, showed an expression that seemed quite cute to Ritsu Naruse.

Then, someone realized this and fell into a state of shyness, and glared at him fiercely.

"Um...how's the song? Can I listen to it now?" Holding two pieces of cucumber in her hands, Ritsu Narose looked like a fan waving a cheering stick at a concert.

However, he did not have the aura of a fanatical fan at all, only the guilty feeling unique to changing the subject.

"Of course I can, but since I wrote the lyrics first and then composed the music, I might need to make some adjustments afterwards." When a hobby becomes a job, Shoko Toyokawa becomes much more cautious.

"Then the audition part is also up to you."

Taking a bite of the cucumber and savoring the crisp and refreshing taste, Ritsu Narose, in a good mood, made a decision.

However, when Toyokawa Shoko heard that, she fell into a brief confusion: "Are you sure you want me to sing it? This is a song written for Nagasaki Suyo, right?"

"Since you composed the music, I think it wouldn't be inappropriate for you to sing it, right? Besides, I'm not very good at singing, and I can't find a professional singer to perform for us anytime soon."

Seeing that Narose Ritsu's words did not seem false, Toyokawa Shoko's expression became extremely complicated.

She glanced at the author who had written the lyrics, then recalled the various thoughts that had gone through her mind when she composed the song, and finally thought of the story the song was telling.

Thus, an absurd sense of humor was born in Toyokawa Shoko's heart.

"Are you serious?"

"Of course I'm serious...what's wrong?"

Without answering Ritsu Narose, Shoko Toyokawa suddenly became very curious about how Nagasaki Suyo would react when she heard that the song written for her was composed by herself - and even sung by herself.

131. Success Strategist

The destined day for the live performance is the day after tomorrow, and it is also the beginning of Japan's May Day Golden Week, so there will definitely be many students and music lovers gathered here.

——This is the right time.

【RING】As a well-known livehouse in Ikebukuro, it has a luxurious appearance and diverse functions, which naturally attracts countless passers-by to gather together.

——This is the geographical advantage.

The joint event of Poppin'Party and Afterglow, two well-known bands, has inherently laid a solid foundation.

——This is harmony among people.

With the right time, place and people, using this live performance as a debut battle can be said to be a dream start.

“That’s why the pressure is so great!”

However, after hearing the success-oriented counselor's words, Qian?裠(八)山>溜球(七)撮午八早Aine cried out in pain.

In response to this, Ritsu Narose could only shake his head and smack his lips, as if he had seen a person miss his shot even when he was back-to-back and was killed - and it was a long gun AK hitting a short gun USP.

I gave you the opportunity but you didn't use it... This is absolutely not allowed.

It was already evening, and everyone who had finished training was sitting in the cafe to rest, but he finally came here.

It is impossible for Ritsu Narose to never go to the recording studio, just as it is impossible for Constantinople to never be conquered by the Ottomans.

The above sentence is the fundamental reason, and the direct reason is that his invisible behavior in the past few days has made people somewhat dissatisfied.

I won’t name the specific one, Naruse Ritsu - at least it’s not the cute little animal, Takamatsu Touma.

Pushing the matcha parfait in front of Rana, he reluctantly shifted the expectant gaze from himself to the parfait that was about to be devoured.

Although he had promised to make Kaname a pick similar to Aine's, he didn't have any scales crumbling around him at the moment, and he had no interest in collecting scales.

So he could only tell Kaname that she needed to wait - and he couldn't say how long the waiting time would be.

Fortunately, the cat's enthusiasm fades quickly, and she can be dispelled with just a cup of matcha parfait or soba noodles.

Returning his gaze to Chihaya Aine, Naruse Ritsu moved the drink next to her to prevent it from spilling, then spoke to her in a "comforting" tone, "You're so discouraged after only performing two songs. You won't be able to form a band for life like this, Aine."

"Ugh..." Suddenly, Chihaya Aine let out another hoarse wail like a dry branch cracking.

Seeing that she was so nervous, Ritsu Narose had no choice but to let her use the sugar provided by the dessert and drink in front of her to relieve her tension.

"If you're nervous, do you want to take a day off tomorrow to adjust?" Nagasaki Suyo crossed her hands on the table, her eyebrows and the smile on the corners of her mouth were gentle, just like in the past.

To her, this statement was both a provocation and a fact.

Because Nagasaki Suyo didn't care about the new band, she always treated group training with a slacking attitude. Even when she later decided to change, she only raised her training level to the ambiguous boundary of "just enough".

She hoped that Chihaya Aine would leave tactfully, so she naturally wouldn't be nervous about the live performance the day after tomorrow.

Another "fact" is a small comfort to her former band members.

Just like before exams that determine one's life stage, schools often give students a day off to adjust their state. This practice is better than nothing, and its symbolic effect is often greater than its practical value.

As for Lenai…that wild cat had never been part of her plans.

What trouble could a cat bring her?

Therefore, the closer the live show got, the happier Nagasaki Motoyo felt. She couldn't wait to see the scene after the live show ended and they walked off the stage.

Only then would Chihaya Aine realize how ridiculous her level was and how insignificant her importance to the band was.

"Rest..."

To everyone's surprise, Shiina Riki, who had always been the most anxious and pressed, was the first to think about whether he should use the last day to rest.

However, before she could ask Takamatsu Deng's opinion, Chihaya Aine beside her seemed to be resurrected and became energetic. She kept nodding her head and trying to get others to agree with this suggestion.

Naruse Ritsu had always been indifferent, and so had Kaname Rakuna. So, everyone's eyes turned to Takamatsu Touma, seemingly asking for the lead singer's opinion.

As Takamatsu Deng nodded in agreement, Chihaya Aine clenched her fists, her face full of excitement.

According to Ritsu Naruse, being fast around the bend is the real fast, and performances like hers often mean that the person has planned to make a big splash on the day off, waiting for her performance to make a splash.
