For the peace of the Lonely Band, please sacrifice yourself!

She lowered her head and said in a low voice, "It's been a long time since I came here. I haven't been here since you went to Tokyo. In the blink of an eye, two years have passed."

As soon as he finished speaking, Nakagawa Natsuki's tone suddenly changed, and he hummed a Kyoto tune in a lighthearted manner, making Mochizuki Saku think that he had just been hallucinating.

The woman tilted her head to look at Mochizuki Saku, who was yawning with his mouth open and sleepy eyes. The boy's cheeks were sleepy from not getting enough sleep, and Nakagawa Natsuki couldn't help laughing. With a smirk, he came close to him and whispered in his ear:

"I didn't sleep well last night. Did I do something shameful again~"

"Am I that kind of ridiculous person?" Wang Yueshuo rolled his eyes.

"After all, we often hear news about the decadent private lives of children from wealthy families. Plus, you are in adolescence, an energetic boy at the age when you are interested in such things." Nakagawa Natsuki raised a finger and spoke eloquently, pretending to be very experienced.

"Pure stereotype..."

"That's right. With our Shuo's handsome face, even if he doesn't ask for money, groups of girls will flock to him and chase him." Xia Ji looked at Wangyue Shuo's profile, made a camera gesture with four fingers of his two palms, closed one eye, and kept giving satisfied compliments.

"To save the aging Kyoto, become an idol! Shuo-kun——"

"I reject."

"Hey~ Why did you reject it so quickly!?"

"Because Sister Xia Ji was just talking casually. It's not that easy to become an idol." Mochizuki Saku sighed, thinking of a series of excellent and refreshing achievements such as Nakagawa Xia Ji urging himself to join the wind orchestra in junior high school and inciting students of the same age to slack off just so that he could have time to sleep in.

"What? A mere Shuo dares to talk back to his elders?" Nakagawa Natsuki puffed up his cheeks, pouted his little mouth in dissatisfaction and muttered.

"There is absolutely no need to respect an elder who is only one year older than me and whose moral standards are lower than mine!" Hearing Sister Xia Ji's arrogant tone, Wang Yueshuo raised his eyebrows and complained.

"I have no respect for my elders!"

"Bully the weak and fear the strong!"

"......"

"Are you still going to run away?"

After arguing with Nakagawa Natsuki for a long time, his lips were dry. Mochizuki Saku bought two bottles of mineral water from the vending machine, and made a low throw towards the woman's chest, which landed accurately in Natsuki's palm.

"Let me drink some water to moisten my throat first." Nakagawa Natsuki held the cool bottle of mineral water, twisted the lid open with a casual twist, and then gulped it down.

"Then you drink it. I'll run first." As soon as Wang Yueshuo finished speaking, he spread his legs and rushed up the slope filled with thin mist.

"What!?" Nakagawa Natsuki only felt as if a gust of wind flashed before his eyes, and stared in amazement at Mochizuki Saku who was running and waving at him provocatively.

"How dare you abandon your sister and run away by yourself (╬▔皿▔)╯!" She screwed the bottle cap on angrily and hurriedly followed.

The noisy chirping startled the birds in the forest and made them flee into the sky. A few clear cries seemed to announce the arrival of morning. The morning mist dissipated, and the warm sunlight sprinkled on the world, passing through the rustling woods, and covering the boys and girls who were jogging and exercising on the deserted path.

.........

The patter--

The sound of water stopped for a moment, and Wang Yueshuo yawned lazily while looking into the misty half-length mirror.

He casually put on a white bathrobe, and the mirror reflected the boy's well-proportioned and strong body, graceful muscle lines, mouth-watering mermaid line and dog waist, coupled with his handsome and elegant appearance.

Wow, whose noble son is this?

Wang Yueshuo nodded with satisfaction, scratched his black hair that was slightly curled up because it had not been dried yet, relaxed his brows, with a faint smile on the corners of his mouth, and pushed open the glass door of the bathroom refreshed.

"Master, the clothes have been prepared for you." Maid Saito handed over a towel and a suit respectfully, "The master of the house said that you should come to see him after you have changed your clothes."

"Okay, I understand." Wang Yueshuo took them one by one and nodded to show that he understood.

Maid Saito bowed slightly and turned away without further ado.

Mochizuki Shuo turned and went into the bedroom, changing into the clothes prepared by the maid - a black and gray plaid suit.

In Mochizuki Rin's sight, the handsome young man in a suit and tie, with an elegant demeanor, carefully adjusted his cuffs and collar buttons. He found a tie from the closet, tried to tie it a few times, and finally chose to give up calmly.

"I really don't know why grandpa asked you to wear formal clothes." Still lying on his bed, Mochizuki Rin posed as a professional costume design master and made a few simple comments before returning to the question she was most curious about.

"He must have something to ask for."

Mochizuki Saku shook his head. Although he didn't know the reason why he had to wear formal clothes, he understood that it was something that had to be taken seriously, otherwise his grandfather would not have specially sent maid Saito to prepare travel clothes for him.

"Can I go?" Mochizuki Rin blinked.

"If you haven't been informed, it's better not to go." Wang Yueshuo thought for a while and said hesitantly.

After getting a negative answer, Mochizuki Rin muttered, "Okay, then you go, I'll stay at home and look after the house by myself," and then she turned away and stopped looking at him, hugging a pillow that appeared out of nowhere.

"Don't be upset. I'll bring you your favorite pudding and iced watermelon when I come back." Wang Yueshuo also reminded: "Remember not to stand under the air-conditioning outlet when it's on. It's easy to catch a cold."

"I know, I know. Why are you as long-winded as our mother?"

Mochizuki Rin buried her head in the pillow and a dull sound came out.

Chapter 9: Tian Jingzhong: Planning the World: Law

Led by the maid, Wang Yueshuo got in the car and went to a small villa called Qingtingju.

As a wealthy and aristocratic family dominating Kyoto, this large luxury mansion is naturally part of the Mochizuki family's property.

There was an endless stream of cars and horses. As the distance got closer, Wang Yueshuo, who was leaning against the window, saw all kinds of luxury cars. They all maintained a steady speed and headed towards the same destination.

Soon, Wang Yueshuo saw the red roof and green tiles hidden in the lush forest again, and he knew that he was about to reach Qingting Tower. Even though he didn't come here often, what impressed him most about this villa was that its outer courtyard was designed in the style of ancient China, especially the vermilion courtyard with a plaque with three large characters "Qingting Residence", which always made his eyes light up every time he saw it.

Wang Yueshuo, dressed in a respectable suit, got out of the car in front of everyone's surprised gaze and walked into the magnificent living room alone. Through the large and bright French windows, he could clearly see the huge crowd behind him entering the gate of Qingtingju in an endless stream.

He was not in a hurry to find his grandfather, and casually picked up a glass of champagne from the wine waiter, and while drinking, he observed the guests at the party. He looked around, and everyone seemed to have a polite smile on their face, drinking and chatting, some in groups of three or five, and some alone like him.

The world is full of different things...

Wang Yueshuo squinted his eyes. The taste of this glass of champagne was refreshing. The mellow, elegant, beautiful and harmonious fruity aroma brought him a fresh and pleasant taste.

A rich, sweet aroma surrounded him.

"An ordinary banquet, doesn't it have any special meaning?" He murmured in a voice that only he could hear, watching the clear wine shaking under his movements, and the bubbles constantly floating up to the surface. Just when he was about to drink it all, he heard an unexpected sound in his ears.

"As the young master of the Mochizuki family, you are drinking here alone?" Kousaka Reina's voice, as hard as a thousand-year-old ice, did not cause any waves in the noisy party, but it freed Mochizuki Saku from the state of being 'alone'.

Mochizuki Shuo raised his eyes and looked at the girl in front of him, a gleam of light flashed in his gray-brown eyes.

She wore a pure white long-sleeved evening dress, which was elegant and simple, without any complicated patterns. The plain brocade satin could better highlight the girl's figure, and just a few strokes outlined the girl's beautiful figure.

A pair of beautiful eyes are like a pool of cool spring water, clear and transparent. If the soft cheek lines are matched with soft cherry red thin lips, the girl in front of us will look gentle and beautiful. But it seems that she wants to go against it and deliberately put on a cold makeup.

The light crimson lips, the cold and abstinent expression and the sharp eyes of the girl had the words "Strangers keep away and acquaintances keep away" written on her face. As a result, even though the girl was extremely beautiful, there was not even a single fly or mosquito around her.

Her long black hair was neatly combed behind her head, and her flowing black hair fell to her waist like a smooth silk ribbon. Her soft and smooth hair seemed as if it could turn into strings that could wrap around her at any time.

"It's just an ordinary social banquet, and I just arrived and only drank half a glass." Wang Yueshuo shook the glass, indicating that he didn't even finish it.

"If I remember correctly, the legal drinking age in our country should be 20, right?" Kousaka Reina continued to ask.

You're a nitpicker, right?

"If you insist on doing this, then I can only regard it as a provocation." Mochizuki Saku first drank the remaining champagne in the glass, and then looked down at Kousaka Reina, who was still far behind him even when wearing 10-centimeter high heels.

"Heh..." Kousaka Reina snorted softly and sipped the peach-flavored sparkling water.

The world finally returns to peace~

Wang Yueshuo put the wine glass back on the wine tray and walked leisurely to the second floor.

........

Tokyo, Shinjuku Ward.

"From what Senior Lu said, do the seniors want to attend the Kyoto Fireworks Festival on June 6?" Nakano Azusa, who was dragged over to the mall by her seniors from the light music club, fiddled with the ice cubes in the freshly squeezed juice with her little hands and blinked her eyes curiously.

"That's right. It's finally going to be held again after four years. We were also free during that time, so I think this is a great opportunity to make some good memories." Tian Zhonglu appealed to her emotions and reason, looking at A Zi Miao with her big watery eyes in a cute and pitiful manner.

"Ritsu is right. We are about to graduate, and every time we miss a celebration event like this where we can get together, it will be one less opportunity." As one of the planners of the Kyoto Project, Akiyama Mio also expressed her support.

"...Indeed, next year I may not be able to meet with my seniors every day." After hearing this, Nakano Azusa inevitably felt disappointed and hung her head.

"So, we have to seize every beautiful moment worth remembering now!" Tianzhong Ritsu's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands together, solemnly reminding: "After all, everyone doesn't want to feel deep regret and sadness for not being able to create beautiful memories with their friends every time they think back to the few months left in the future."

"Then...then I also agree to the proposal of going to watch the fireworks display." Under the deception of the two vested interests, Ritsu Tainanaka and Mio Akiyama, Azusa Nakano quickly agreed to Ritsu's proposal.

"Ohhh, great! Fireworks festival ~ here I come!" Pingze, who was only busy having fun, could not help but cheer when he thought that he could not only eat delicious snacks and play fun games at the celebration, but also see the fireworks shining like stars in the night sky.

"I don't have anything scheduled from the 25th to the 28th, so let's go together~" Miss Kotobuki glanced at Mio and Ritsu meaningfully, narrowed her eyes, and smiled as she clasped her hands together: "Don't worry about the travel expenses, I'll treat you."

"Eh————! It won't be needed..." Nakano Azusa looked at the arrogant Kotobuki-senpai worriedly and was slightly stunned.

"We are all high school students and don't have part-time jobs. The pocket money given by our families must not be enough, right?" Kotobuki Tsumugi said confidently.

"There's no need for you to spend any money, Tsumugi-chan. The money from the summer festival is enough for the five of us. Besides, once we get to Kyoto, we may not have to pay a penny for daily expenses." Tianzhong Ritsu patted the excited Kotobuki Tsumugi, signaling her to calm down first.

"Then...what does that mean?" A Zi Miao tilted his head in confusion.

"You'll know when the time comes." Seeing that the plan was complete, Tianzhong Ritsu smiled wickedly and looked towards the direction of Kyoto.

Chapter 10: Childhood Influence

Tokyo, Shimokitazawa is full of stars.

Ichichi Hoshige was typing away on her computer methodically, arranging a schedule for the band that would be performing next week.

"Hey~"

Ichichi Xingge continued to type on the keyboard, as if she didn't hear the sigh coming from her best friend beside her.

"Hey~~~"

The sigh came out again, but it was softer and longer than last time, with richer tone and emotion. Her sadness and mournfulness could be clearly felt from the willow trees outside the tall building and the wailing of cuckoos. It seemed as if a girl in the boudoir missed her lover who was away from home, and she was even more sad in early summer.

Ijichi Hoshika finally couldn't hold back anymore and turned around to look at Hayase Hazuki fiercely.

The woman with long black and purple hair held her cheek with one hand and held the empty wine glass with the other. Her pair of autumn eyes seemed full of affection as she looked at the developed photos, expressing her melancholy and sadness.

"If you make such noises again, just go home. He's just going back to his hometown for a few days. It's not like he won't be coming back."

Ijichi Hoshige pushed aside her golden hair, glared at Hayase Hazuki with dissatisfaction, and said calmly: "Besides, didn't we get through it the same way in the two years without him?"

"It's different~" Hayase Hazuki stuck out her tongue coquettishly and muttered:

"There is a word that can summarize our reunion, which is - reunion after a long separation. After Shuo and I separated, although we rarely thought of each other, we also found that each other was actually very good, and we missed the days with each other very much. So after we meet again, we will love each other more and miss each other more."

"After listening to your explanation, why do I feel like you and he are already in a relationship... I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you're obviously an aunt who's almost 30 years old, so why don't you stop competing with a bunch of young and pretty girls here?"

Ichichi Xingge rolled her eyes at her and complained.

"Haha, sometimes separation is also to give each other some space, so that each other can better understand each other's hearts."

Hayase Hazuki smiled charmingly and poked the shoulder of the woman next to her cheerfully: "Are you giving up now? Maybe he likes our charming lady~"

"I think it's uncertain. We are both 29 years old this year, and he is only , two years away from adulthood." Ichichi Xingge saved the schedule file, closed the computer, and said in a melancholy tone: "Besides, I think Hongxia likes Shuo very much."

"Oh?" Hayase Hazuki seemed to smell some gossip. She blinked her eyes and picked up a piece of watermelon curiously.

"Go away, there's nothing to say. There's nothing to say." Yidizhi Xingge pushed her best friend who was about to get close to her arms aside, scrolled through her phone with a dull look, and looked at the message sent by her sister: [Sister, can we have pan-fried sea bass for dinner tonight? ]

"Hey, what does it have to do with you that Hong Xia likes Shuo?" Miss PA waved her hand indifferently, resting her hands on the bar. "As you said, we are not young anymore, so why not pursue love?"

"Are you expecting to regret it when you see Hong Xia holding Shuo's arm and introducing him to you? Oh, no, given your proud and conceited personality, you would probably appear nonchalant and congratulate them on their happy marriage, but secretly lock yourself in the room and cry bitterly? Another golden-haired loser?"

Lies don't hurt, truth is the knife.

This is PA-san's aggressiveness!

Her words were like a sharp blade with a bloody groove, which hit Yidizhi Xingge, who was confused and wanted to escape, hard. Xingge, who had remained calm, suddenly blushed and her beautiful eyes were filled with murderous intent.

There is an old saying that goes, real harm is the most real harm in this world.

"What about you? Aunt Hayase, what can you do?" Ijichi Xingge gritted her teeth and retorted.

"I don't care. I'll just be your lover."

Hayase Hazuki snorted twice and threw aside the black coat she was wearing, revealing her perfect slender figure. Under the dark green suspenders, her well-sized and perky breasts, her snake-like waist, and not a trace of fat between her waist and belly.

She even deliberately folded her shoulders, and her broad mind suddenly stirred up a dizzying wave.

"You are shameless!" Yidizhi Xingge was furious.

"Lululu~" Hayase Hazuki stuck out her tongue cutely.

........

"Reina, where is Mochizuki? I saw him here just now." A girl in a light blue dress came over, and behind her was a boy in a black suit.
