For Goto Kazuri, the next session may be more stressful than the interview just now.

Chapter 64: The first step to independence is “resistance”

"This weekend, please allow me to take Gotou and stay outside for one night."

Under the astonished gazes of the Goto family, Ren Suzuki said to them:

"I will bear the cost of the trip, and I will ensure that I keep in touch with you two throughout the journey. If you are worried, you can also have regular video calls -"

"Uh... no no no, Suzuki-san, please wait a moment!"

Goto Naoki rubbed his eyebrows, then turned to look at his eldest daughter, who was already stunned.

Judging from her reaction, she seemed to be shocked by Suzuki Ren's sudden invitation.

"Before that, could you please tell us...where are you planning to go this weekend?"

"Kyoto is my hometown."

Ren Suzuki answered very frankly:

"I promised before that I would go out alone with Gotou-san, and... I also have something I want to confirm there."

"This, that's it... going back to my hometown in Kyoto... Kyoto is indeed a good place, but... eh?"

After receiving the answer, the expression on Goto Naoki's face not only did not relax, but became even more confused.

He only knew that his daughter would attend a Livehouse audition with her band members today, but he had never heard that after that, his daughter would spend the night outside with her crush...

By the way... I feel like this development is surprisingly rock-like?

……

Now is not the time to care about rock and roll!

"It's okay to go out alone... but staying overnight always feels a bit..."

In fact, he was not worried at all about Ren Suzuki's motives and safety in asking Kazuri Goto out.

Rather, if Suzuki Ren really has this level of desire for Gotou Kazuri, then it might actually be a good thing for Gotou Kazuri who is enamored with him...

But even so, as a father, he still can't give permission easily, otherwise he will always feel that he despises his daughter too casually.

Do you want to look a little more serious here to scare him?

In this way, he can not only show his majesty, but also test the sincerity of Suzuki Ren's invitation...

"...With your expression, you must be thinking about something boring, right?"

Seeing her husband's eyes wandering around, Gotou Michiyo immediately shook her head, and then she walked up to Gotou Ichiri:

"Yili, what do you think?"

Michiyo Goto asked in a gentle tone:

"Do you want to go to Kyoto with Suzuki-san?"

"me……"

After the band's interview, Ren Suzuki immediately explained her weekend travel plans in front of everyone.

When she heard that Suzuki Ren planned to take her back to her hometown in Kyoto, she even thought she was dreaming.

It wasn't until he asked to interview her parents that night that she finally realized that what had just happened was reality.

She didn't know what Ren Suzuki wanted to confirm in Kyoto, and she didn't know why she was brought along with her.

The only thing she can know is that this trip to Kyoto will not only allow her to spend a whole day alone with Ren Suzuki... but it will also be a rare opportunity for her to get to know Ren Suzuki better——

"I also...want to go to Kyoto with Suzuki-san."

So, Goto Kazuri clearly stated his decision.

"Well, I understand."

After getting his daughter's answer, Goto Michiyo smiled and nodded, then looked at Ren Suzuki again and said to him:

"Then, I'll ask you to take care of Ichiri during the weekend, Suzuki-san."

"Yes, I will take responsibility."

"Now, it's too early to say anything about being responsible."

After hearing this, Goto Naoki immediately stood up:

"Is it really okay? Yili? You've never been so far out before, right?"

"Just, even so, I still want to go out with Suzuki-san."

Although his tone was very unconfident, Ichiri Goto still expressed his thoughts well:

"The first time I went away was with Suzuki-san... it was also very reassuring to me."

"Uh……"

Since joining the band, Ichiri Goto has gradually become accustomed to expressing his thoughts.

Although this is indeed a good thing worth celebrating, the uncertainty brought about by this growth also makes him, a father, feel mixed emotions.

"It seems that no matter what our opinions are, you have decided to go out with Suzuki-san, right?"

"……kindness."

Goto Ichisato nodded slowly.

"Even if you don't agree...I still want to-"

"I don't intend to make Goto-san make an embarrassing choice. If you two don't agree, I will never take her away from home on my own initiative."

Suzuki Ren suddenly interrupted Goto Kazuri.

"I came here prepared to persuade you two. If you really have any concerns, please tell me and I will do my best to solve them...until you agree to my request."

"Suzuki-kun..."

Seeing that Suzuki Ren's attitude was so determined and sincere, Goto Kazuri's initially wavering expression gradually became firmer.

"I understand! I will also try my best to convince my parents!"

"So, the child's mother and I haven't said that we will reject you..."

Even before he had any intention of raising objections, his daughter had already agreed with Suzuki Ren... Is this the so-called "elbow turned outward" probably referring to this situation?

Realizing that his daughter had completely fallen, Goto Naoki could only shake his head with a wry smile.

"If I have any concerns, I actually don't have any. Considering everything you have done for my daughter so far, I have absolutely no reason to doubt you."

Putting aside some of the entanglements in his heart as a father, Goto Naoki said:

"And since you came to our house specifically to talk to us about this matter, it is enough to show your sincerity and determination. As for your weekend trip to Kyoto, the child's mother and I both agreed. But no matter what, the travel expenses We will give Yili a good share of the accommodation and accommodation fees. As for the extra budget, Suzuki-san, just spend it on yourself. I also hope you can have fun."

"Yes."

"Also, be sure to contact us properly when you arrive at your accommodation... This is not to doubt Suzuki-san, I just want to make sure you are safe."

"I understand very well."

"Well, it's great that you understand."

Goto Naoki smiled helplessly.

"Then... just like the child's mother just said, this weekend... I'll leave it to you, Suzuki-san."

"Yes."

With this, Ren Suzuki and Kazuri Goto decided to go on a two-day, one-night trip to Kyoto this weekend.

Chapter 65: The width of the handrail is approximately five centimeters

This time, Ichiri Goto did not ask Ikuyo Kita for advice on what to wear when traveling, but directly chose the combination of sailor suit and waist skirt from last time.

Firstly, it was because she didn't want to cause trouble to Kita Ikuyo every time, and secondly, it was because Suzuki Ren had just praised the cute outfit last time.

Although there is a high probability that he will not praise the same set of clothes repeatedly, but... rather than choosing other clothes to be smart, it is better to just choose this set of clothes that has been recognized as the correct answer.

At the appointed time, under the warm gaze of her parents, Ichiri Goto walked out of the house carrying the bag lent to her by her mother——

"……what."

"good morning."

As soon as she opened the door, Ren Suzuki, who was carrying a backpack, greeted her head-on.

Then he looked beyond Goto and said to the Goto couple standing at the door:

"I will take good care of Goto-san from now on, please don't worry."

Michio Goto: "Well, Ichiri, you have to have fun."

Goto Naoki: "You two, please be safe on the road."

"……Yes."

He didn't know if it was his own illusion, but just standing with Ren Suzuki, Goto Ichiri felt that today's sunshine was a bit brighter than before.

"I'm leaving!"

This is where the journey to Kyoto for Kazuri Goto and Ren Suzuki begins.

........................

Although Gotou was still full of expectations and excitement when he went out, as soon as he arrived at the station, Gotou's whole momentum immediately weakened.

The crowds of people passing by at the ticket gate made her feel nervous subconsciously, and the glances from people around her from time to time also made her never dare to raise her head——

"You've never been to a place with so many people, right?"

Suddenly, Suzuki Ren's voice came from her ears.

"Do you still feel uncomfortable?"

Because the environment was too noisy, Ren Suzuki just talked to her in her ear.

A sense of numbness accompanied by the slight heat of his breath spread from his ears throughout his body, causing Goto Issato's cheeks to instantly become flushed.

"It's hard, I can't even say it's uncomfortable... I'm just a little uncomfortable."

In order to let Suzuki Ren hear his voice, Goto Ichiri stood on tiptoes and whispered in his ear:

"Don't worry, I'll be fine."

"That's good."

Ren Suzuki nodded.

"By the way, the reason why people around you look at you from time to time is just because you are dressed cutely today, so don't be too nervous."

"!!!"

After hearing these words, Goto Ichiri immediately covered his mouth in surprise.

It’s so great to choose this outfit to go out with!Unexpectedly, he actually praised her again!

For a moment, the joy of being praised by Ren Suzuki directly dissipated the tension in Goto Kazuri's heart, and the eyes that originally made her feel uneasy were no longer as sharp as before...

Out of her trust in Ren Suzuki, she tentatively raised her chest and glanced at the crowd around her.

People of all ages are doing their own things at this time.

Office workers carrying briefcases were communicating with each other at work on their mobile phones. Families gathered together were chatting casually. Occasionally, couples could even be seen cuddling together as if no one else was watching.

She was so small that she was not deliberately looked at by others, and those eyes that occasionally turned to her were just a glance.

Well... think about it carefully, the reason why everyone came to the station must be the same as her, with their own destinations and things they want to do.If this is the case, then there is indeed no reason for them to stare at themselves deliberately.

Just like what I felt in class... everyone was just living their normal campus life, and there was no reason to target her or hurt her.

The burden in her heart was gradually lightening, and her vision was gradually broadening.

She gradually learned how to control her unfounded feelings of inferiority and delusions of persecution.

The day when she can stand on stage and perform without any obstacles may not be far away anymore.
