Sister Toosaka Rin

"I will pay Goto-san's share after I get the buyer's money, but before that, you two need to sign a profit-sharing contract with Goto-san. Goto-san will bring the contract back tonight, so please sign it as soon as possible."

Goto's father held down the receiver, sighed, and said to his wife, "You are so calm, you don't seem like a young man."

Goto's mother said: "At least from the current situation, the other party has no ill will towards Xiaodu."

"Then meet up?"

"Let's meet."

After exchanging ideas with his wife, Goto's father raised his hand that was holding the receiver and said, "Tousaka-kun, why don't you come to our house tonight? Xiaodu's mother and I are very curious about you."

Originally, Goto's father was worried that Toosaka Kiyoshi would be on guard and did not dare to come to his house alone. He was about to explain that they had no ill intentions, but Toosaka Kiyoshi unexpectedly agreed.

After hanging up the phone, Goto's father praised him again: "You are so brave and brave. You can write such a good song. You have a bright future."

He added later: "He is half as good as I was back then."

Goto's mother rolled her eyes. He only dared to say such big words when he was alone with her.

Goto stared blankly at Kiyoshi Toosaka who was chatting with his parents. Her cell phone had been handed to Kiyoshi Toosaka's hands without her knowing when. Everything was so natural.

She once again envied Tousaka Kiyoshi's social skills.

After Tousaka Kiyoshi finished talking to Goto's father, he returned the phone to Goto Du: "Pochi-chan, I'm going to visit your house tonight. This time it's your father who invited me."

"Eh!!!"

Goto Du had never expected that, after she had just rejected Kiyoshi Toosaka's request to visit her yesterday, her father took the initiative to invite Kiyoshi Toosaka to visit their home today.

In fact, this is not difficult to understand. She and Kiyoshi Toosaka have already formed a partnership. In the future, in order to record songs, they will definitely be alone often. For the sake of their daughter's safety, the Goto couple naturally want to meet Kiyoshi Toosaka.

After all, some things can only be seen in person. Through the phone, you will never know what side of yourself the person on the other end of the phone is hiding.

"Why, Pochi-chan, are you unhappy?"

"Hehe, hehe..."

Goto only gave a forced smile.

Home was the most comfortable place for her. Now someone was about to break into this place. Just thinking about it made her not know how to treat Kiyoshi Toosaka.

Should he treat him like a guest, like a host, or should he get along with him normally as he does now?

For some reason, when she was facing Kiyoshi Toosaka, her social phobia was not as strong as when she was facing other people. She felt very comfortable when she was with Kiyoshi Toosaka.

But if she were asked to entertain Kiyoshi Tousaka as a guest, she would have no idea what to do.

Walking home with Kiyoshi Toosaka, Goto Du kept thinking about one thing: Would passers-by mistake her and Kiyoshi Toosaka for a couple?

It's time to go home from school again. A boy and girl are walking together. They look so sexy no matter how you look at them!

But a boy like him who is handsome, has good social skills, and can write songs, seems to have the scent of sunshine on him.

There must be a lot of girls chasing after a boy like this in school!

He either already has a girlfriend, or he has very high requirements for his girlfriend. How could an old-fashioned girl like me, who wears sportswear all day, never dresses up, and stays in the corner and is inconspicuous, be worthy of him?

Tosaka Kiyoshi suddenly turned around and asked, "What are you thinking about now?"

Goto answered subconsciously: "I was wondering if you have a girlfriend..."

She realized it later and quickly covered her mouth.

Oops, I accidentally said what was in my heart! What would he think if I said this? He wouldn't think that I like him!

Ugh... I didn't pay attention and said something that could lead to misunderstanding! I'm done!

Should we explain it quickly? If so, how should we explain it?

"Sorry, I don't like you."

Feeling so self-righteous.

"Don't let your imagination run wild."

It seems like he is hinting at someone else.

"I'm just curious."

It's like trying to cover up one's own mistake.

Ahhh! How on earth am I going to explain this?

Just as Goto was constantly playing out various small dramas in his mind, Tousaka Kiyoshi thought of the figure of Yukinoshita Yukino and said with a smile: "She does exist, but she is in another world."

Goto was stunned. Another world? Was he dead?

She recalled the lyrics to the chorus of "Sunny Day":

On this windy day, I tried to hold your hand

But the rain gradually became so heavy that I could no longer see you.

How long will it take before I can be by your side?

Maybe I'll feel better when the weather clears up.

Once upon a time, there was someone who loved you for a long time

But the wind gradually blew the distance away

It's so hard to love you for one more day

But at the end of the story you still seemed to say goodbye

Goto Doku suddenly understood that the difference between the two parties in the lyrics was not the physical distance, but the distance between life and death.

"Excuse me, was it raining when you and your girlfriend broke up?"

Toosaka Kiyoshi nodded: "It was raining, and it hasn't been long."

Goto Du immediately imagined Toosaka Kiyoshi's background story in his mind.

Not long ago in Chiba City, on a rainy day, perhaps because of an accident or perhaps because of a terminal illness, in any case, the girl that Kiyoshi Toosaka loved went to another world.

So, in order to escape the pain of the past, Kiyoshi Toosaka came here alone.

But judging by the emotions expressed in the lyrics, he still hasn't been able to get over that rainy day, and he is still trapped in the past.

But the name of the song is "Sunny Day", which shows that he also longs to get rid of the shadow of the past.

Goto did the reading comprehension test alone and felt that she could get full marks, but she did not feel proud at all, because her understanding brought back memories of Kiyoshi Toosaka.

Looking at Tosaka Kiyoshi's "bitter and helpless" smile, Goto Du apologized solemnly: "Sorry, I didn't mean to mention your sad story."

Tousaka Kiyoshi was a little confused: "Why are you apologizing all of a sudden? That question wasn't very offensive."

Goto Du, however, thought that Tousaka Kiyoshi was only pretending to be strong on the surface, and that all his emotions had been conveyed through his music.

But Goto Doku will not uncover the scars of Tousaka Kiyoshi. For someone who is immersed in the pain of the past, only by letting him feel the beauty of his present life can he move on from the past.

But now Tousaka Kiyoshi doesn't even have a place to live...

Goto thought deeply for a moment, then said resolutely: "If you really have no place to live, then come live in my house. I will try my best to convince mom and dad!"

Toosaka Kiyoshi looked at Goto Doku in surprise. Why was she so resistant to this matter before, but now she took the initiative to bring it up?

In fact, Goto Toku felt a little regretful as soon as he said it.

She is not the one who makes the decisions in her family. If she dares to mention this to her parents, she will have a chance to taste the fried pork with bamboo shoots that she has not had for a long time.

But the words had been spoken, and she really wanted to help Kiyoshi Toosaka, so all she could do was try her best to get her parents' consent.

This might be the boldest thing she has ever done, letting a boy she had just met live in her house.

Tousaka Kiyoshi weighed the matter and said, "Actually, I was just joking when I said that yesterday. You don't have to take it seriously. I can just stay in a hotel outside."

"And do you trust me so much? Aren't you afraid that I'm some vicious person? You're just inviting a wolf into your house by doing this."

"It is irresponsible to let your entire family bear the risk for your own decision. Let's talk about this later."

He himself felt that something was wrong with living in Goto's private house.

After hearing what Tousaka Kiyoshi said, Goto Dokuya realized that he had acted impulsively.

"I, I understand."

Although Goto Doku gave up the idea of ​​letting Kiyoshi Toosaka live in his house, he still planned to tell his father about Kiyoshi Toosaka's homelessness.

She believed that her father must have a way to help Kiyoshi Tousaka.

……

Late at night, Tousaka Kiyoshi and Goto came alone to a Japanese-style house.

As he got closer to his familiar home, Goto's mood became noticeably lighter.

"This is my home, Huan, you are welcome to be my guest."

Toosaka Kiyoshi nodded, then said to Goto Doku, "Don't be nervous. Isn't your home your home ground? I should be the one who is nervous, and I still need to discuss some things with your parents."

Goto nodded and opened the door of his house with the key.

"Please come in."

The two walked into the living room and saw a middle-aged man sitting on the sofa watching TV. The man was holding a cute little girl in his arms.

"Hello, uncle." Tousaka Kiyoshi greeted Goto Doku's father.

Goto's father nodded and put the little girl down in his arms: "Sit down, dinner will be ready soon, you probably haven't eaten yet."

After sitting down, Tousaka Kiyoshi said, "Indeed, I haven't eaten yet. I am lucky to be able to taste Auntie's cooking on my first visit."

"So, you want to come a second time?"

Tousaka Kiyoshi smiled: "Of course, Goto-san and I are partners, so I will naturally come to visit more often in the future."

Seeing Tosaka Kiyoshi remaining calm despite the pressure he deliberately put on him, Goto's father muttered in his heart: He looks so mature, he doesn't look like a high school student at all.

At this time, Goto's mother appeared with a plate of food: "Let's eat first, we can talk about things slowly."

After dinner, Goto's father started to make his move.

"I also listened to your song Sunny Day, it's really good. But why did you choose Xiaodu as your partner?"

"I happened to meet Goto-san yesterday, and she plays the guitar very well, so I chose her."

"Have you ever considered other people? For example, singers in the music industry."

Tosaka Kiyoshi shook his head: "I haven't thought about it. Those singers are great, but I'm just a rookie. If I work with them, my value will be squeezed out. And if I work with them, they have the capital to intervene. As an individual power, I will definitely suffer a loss."

Goto's father praised him, "You are so young, yet you have thought so much. You are better than most of your peers."

Tousaka Kiyoshi didn't show any pride: "If you want to enter the music industry, you will suffer a great loss sooner or later if you are not careful."

Being praised by himself, yet still being able to recognize his own position, Goto's father's evaluation of Tousaka Kiyoshi was even higher: he was not surprised by praise or criticism, which many adults could not do.

“Can you come up with any other songs of similar quality to Sunny Day?”

Toosaka Kiyoshi nodded: "Yes, but not many. I already have some ideas for a few of them. However..."

"But what?"

“Some of them are not very suitable for girls to sing.”

Goto Doku's father didn't care much about this. As a Japanese music composer, it is impossible for every song to be tailor-made for the same person. This is normal.

……

The dinner seemed calm on the surface, but secretly, a storm was brewing.

Kiyoshi Toosaka could clearly feel the scrutinizing attitude from the Goto couple.

This is normal. What parent would be so careless and not do anything when hearing that their child is going to start a company with others?

The process of this meal was basically the Goto couple raising questions, and Tousaka Kiyoshi demonstrating his abilities to solve the problems they raised.

In addition to his professional ability in music, the Goto couple were more concerned about Tousaka Kiyoshi's character and conduct.
