But the welfare home is really warm and cozy. If you do this, you will definitely be discovered, but no one cares.

Afterwards, after Nanami came back with tea, the three of them sat on the sofa, drinking and talking, having a very pleasant chat.

Except for the two boys who asked "Do you want to eat watermelon" after they finished moving their things, they spent a pleasant time together.

"Shouldn't we put away the guitar and bass?" Fujiwara Chika looked at the bass and guitar sitting on the sofa with them, "This doesn't look like a place to put musical instruments."

I don't know about the bass, but that guitar is very expensive, and it looks like it hasn't been used for very long. Would they leave it out there so safely?

Besides, you should usually take it back to your room, right?

"Uh..." Nanami hesitated, not knowing whether to tell her about the music room.

Although Brother Xingyuan said that they couldn't keep the music room hidden forever after using it, they could just use it openly without worrying about causing trouble for him. However, I felt very uncomfortable bringing someone I just met on the first day to the most confidential place in the welfare home.

And they don’t know about this, this is the biggest reason. My brother must have his reasons for not taking the initiative to expose this matter.

...So confusing!

Kaguya noticed that the girl's expression was a little strange, so she tried to persuade her, "You don't have to answer. Fujiwara-san was just asking casually."

Is there something you are hiding? Why are you nervous just asking where your instrument is?

Just then, the sound of the door opening was heard from the entrance, and the dean walked in. He was stunned to see a guest in the living room.

In fact, he recognized who the two people were. The four of them were on the boat these days, and Sato Yuta took the opportunity to chat a lot with Shirogane and Ishigami.

Xing Yuanhui was only asking about the old guy's feelings. He didn't mind the dean asking about his recent situation in school. Therefore, apart from the pink members who were known from the beginning, the dean, who looked like a young lady, naturally found out during the conversation.

He was just wondering why the two of them appeared in the welfare home without anyone noticing and Xing Yuanhui didn't know.

Without waiting for the adults to speak first, Kaguya stood up, placed her hands on her stomach, bowed slightly and replied: "Hello, sorry to bother you, we are friends of Xingyuan classmate, my name is Shinomiya Kaguya, and the one next to me is Fujiwara Chika."

Fujiwara Chika standing by didn't need Kaguya's reminder and stood up and bowed.

Seeing this, the dean waved his hands repeatedly: "Don't be so serious, I want to thank you for taking care of Xingyuan in school. My name is Sato Yuta, just like Nanami and the others, you can just call me dean."

After saying that, he quickly walked up to Fujiwara Chika, nodded and thanked him, "Fujiwara classmate, right? I should remember correctly. I didn't expect you to come at this time. When I asked Xingyuan a few days ago, he said that he would only bring two classmates to play in Oma."

At the beginning of the school year, she said that she was a member of the student union. Not only did she ask about Xingyuan, she also promised to take good care of him at school, which left a deep impression on Sato Yuta.

"Actually, he's right." Seeing that the dean still recognized her, Fujiwara Chika was a little surprised, "I just suddenly changed my mind and didn't tell him. Xingyuan-san also invited me here before, so I shouldn't have caused you any trouble, right?"

Seeing the pink-haired girl's cautious look, the dean laughed dumbly, motioning everyone to sit down and talk, and said, "Of course not, Xingyuan's friends come to play in the big room, this can't be considered a nuisance."

But he thought that Xingyuan had already brought his friends up the mountain and might be preparing to set up camp. He sighed and said, "But you are late. Xingyuan plans to go camping today. He is probably already at the camping site. He won't be back until tomorrow morning at the earliest."

It was such a coincidence. If they had come to Oma by ferry, we might have had a chance to meet them if we had taken an earlier ferry.

"Oh, I see." Fujiwara Chika was not disappointed, but agreed with Xing Yuanhui's decision, "Look, Kaguya-san! They solved the problem of where the mountain and the sea should go."

"Isn't this the time to worry about this?" Kaguya asked her, "It sounds like it's not too late to go over now. Should we go to the campground to look for Xingyuan-san?"

Hearing this, the dean also said, "If you want to go and meet up with them, I can take you there. You are all members of the student union, so you shouldn't have a bad time just because you are not familiar with them."

Oops, I said we should go camping tomorrow. Now not only will the feast I prepared be delayed, but I even have to go to the mountain again.

Did you do too much today? If you don't listen to the old man, he will have to make up for it, Xingyuan.

"No need to go to all that trouble. Since Xingyuan and the others are not here, Kaguya and I can just take a break." Fujiwara Chika shook her head. "We took the Shinkansen and the ferry today, and we've used up too much energy. It would be a waste to go camping. We need to stay in shape even when we're having fun!"

On the side, Bangyan, who ran back to the living room to get some water and was still on guard against Yangtai, nodded, as if he felt the same way.

"Is that so..." The dean touched his chin, thought for a moment, and then invited them, "Then at least stay for a meal. As the host, it is too rude to let the guests who came from afar leave alone."

Hearing this, Nanami's face twitched - although the logic was correct, but isn't it a bit strange to entertain guests from Tokyo with Chinese cuisine in Oma?

Fujiwara Chika and Kaguya looked at each other, and the former decided to let the latter make the decision, because this was a long journey after all, and she knew that the Shinomiya family's butler was accompanying them.

"...Then I'd rather obey your command. Thank you in advance, Director." Kaguya thought that there had been no new messages from Hayasaka, so she should be able to hold on, and she didn't want to let the welfare home down.

After that, perhaps because there were adults at home, even though the dean himself ran to the kitchen to check on his slowly simmering soup, the living room still couldn't return to its previous lively chat atmosphere.

Nanami found an excuse to run to the kitchen and asked hesitantly, "Dean, can I take them to the music room?"

It was the first time she could talk to an outsider about her brother. She was a little excited and wanted to continue talking, but she was constrained by her previous habit of keeping her mouth shut. She didn't know what to choose.

Admittedly, Brother Xingyuan said that he had taken away all the private information in the music room, and he used the cleanest and most efficient hard drive transfer method, but... what if?

It is true that the director made a lot of money, so that no one in the orphanage noticed that the welfare home had extra income, but my brother's career seemed to be in full swing. The house in Tokyo was bought with his own money.

Although she didn't know the exact number, she noticed that the dean looked a little embarrassed at the time.

Does this mean that my brother has more money than the dean? If the two sisters from the big city find out, will it be troublesome?

But my brother also said that we don’t need to hide the music room like before…

Troubled by these dilemmas, Nanami, who is still a junior high school student, chooses to seek advice from her elders.

"Sure, Xingyuan said it's okay, so why not?" The adult shrugged casually.

Because the dean gave his suggestions very quickly, so quickly that Nanami wondered whether she should emphasize her own problem.

Being stared at by her, the dean said with a wooden face: "He brought his friends to the music room a few days ago, and he reviewed it with me and said that he couldn't tell, so I think it's okay."

I'm so sad. I didn't expect that after a few months, I'm still not Nanami's favorite person?

Chapter 35: Fujiwara Chika realizes something

After receiving the Dean's affirmative answer, Nanami returned to the living room to invite the two to the conversation to return to its previous enthusiastic state. "It's still a long time before dinner time. Why don't Chika and Kaguya come to the music room to listen to the three of us playing? We also want to get other people's opinions. Ah, it should be okay to call Kaguya, right?"

"No problem, just the music room?" Kaguya turned her head and looked at Fujiwara Chika. Although it was a little strange, she readily agreed, "Sure, although it's not very professional, we will try our best to give useful suggestions."

Generally speaking, welfare homes have large rooms to facilitate group activities for children, so it is not too strange to modify one room.

After all, it is easy to make something like this cheaply. Just do some sound insulation, take two chairs from the living room, and put a piano, and you have a music room that can’t be simpler.

You can even lower the configuration a bit, replace it with an electronic piano, or simply use a computer and find the corresponding simulation software to project the screen, and it can still be called a music room.

"Don't worry!" Fujiwara Chika patted the hat she had just taken off, and now she grabbed the brim of the hat and put it on her head, showing a confident smile, "Although I'm retired, I used to be a rising star in the music industry! If you need me, I can play the piano accompaniment for you!"

It’s just that I haven’t touched the piano for a few years. In order to help Nanami-chan further improve in music, I will definitely be able to regain the lost strength through muscle memory!

"Thank you both in advance."

Seeing that the two agreed, Nanami called the bassist and drummer who were still in a tacit confrontation, and went to the hidden underground entrance beside the backyard together.

In this way, we can also eliminate the influence of adults not far away, right?

She really wanted to get the atmosphere of the conversation back to the state it was before the dean came in, not only because of the etiquette of entertaining guests, but also to a large extent because she could hear about different brothers from the daily life of the student union that they shared.

Going to the music room was also considered based on this point. For example, an originally quiet class will suddenly become lively like a vegetable market because of the teacher's departure. If we can create a space without the dean, it will surely help to restore the atmosphere, right?

Although she actually had no choice, go to her own room? It was the first day they met, it didn't seem right, and it would be awkward if she was rejected.

But the music room is very suitable. It is easy to find topics and you can start directly with the performance. The place is also big enough.

The only drawback is that Brother Xingyuan had previously said that this place must not be revealed to anyone, but now, firstly, the dean has guaranteed it, and secondly, my brother has brought his friends in, so it is not a problem.

Probably, although she didn't know why, after hearing Chika-nee say that she was once a rising star in the music industry, Nanami felt like she was doing something wrong.

Maybe it was because I felt guilty about bringing someone to the music room for the first time, haha…

----

"Oh." "Okay." "I'll remember."

The three little ones lay on the stage and wrote down the suggestions given by Fujiwara Chika, which made the pink-haired girl who always smiled when praised feel a little embarrassed.

Especially after seeing the monitoring devices on the side, she felt that she, the champion of her elementary school days, seemed to be looked down upon.

You must have some experts to help you, right? Is it really okay to ask me for advice? All these things together cost more than my piano!

“Um…” Fujiwara Chika shook her head awkwardly, “You don’t have to take my words so seriously. After all, I used to play the piano, not rock music…”

"No! Sister Qianhua's advice is very valuable!" Nanami was a little bit against the students being teachers at this time, and the hand holding the notebook was like the dean holding the lesson plan, "But speaking of piano, we also want to learn about it..."

Nanami's scorching gaze made Fujiwara Chika straighten her waist unconsciously, even slightly bending it.

After dealing with another wave, she looked at her good friend with tears in her eyes as she attracted the fire and then huddled aside to watch aggressively.

I'm under so much pressure, Kaguya-san, please save me!

Seeing her looking over here, Kaguya coughed lightly and silently turned her eyes away, not looking at her.

I'm not as good as you, how can I save you!

They remained in this stalemate for a while, the only sound in the room being the sound of pens scratching across books.

Perhaps Kaguya finally couldn't stand the pressure of the secondary transmission. Suffering from her lingering conscience, she asked Nanami, "Isn't there another room at the end of the corridor? What's it for?"

Wouldn’t it be the same as this room, where the first step in is daunting?

The densely packed buttons were lined up neatly like black piano keys, making it feel like they were about to launch an intercontinental missile.

"That's the storage room." Nanami, who had just come out of her performance mode, noticed the discomfort of her two sisters and quickly moved a few steps to open the door to the storage room that led to the monitoring area. "It's also the lounge. Let's go sit there. It does look scary here."

In fact, I didn’t dare to touch it, and it was my brother who remotely guided me to adjust the relevant settings.

After sitting on the only sofa here for a while, with Nanami's permission, the two began to look around the room that was surrounded by cabinets.

"This is..." Fujiwara Chika's eyes lit up, and she turned on the light button outside the cabinet. Light suddenly shot out from inside, illuminating its contents.

There are so many albums in the cabinet! And... there are all kinds of albums by various artists! There are even limited editions that I have never seen in the store, only seen online!

This is a real limited edition product that is sold out while stocks last. Basically, only true fans and investors can have it!

Moreover, all other albums were unpacked, but the albums of various artists had their outer plastic packaging intact, and most of them were still kept in their original state.

Can you even suppress your desire to open the box? I feel something called love from this!

"Can we listen to some of these? There are so many rare albums here that you won't find in music stores."

His collection of various artists' albums is so complete, including limited editions. He must be a fanatical fan. If you mess around with it, our friendship will capsize immediately!

"Sure." Nanami waved her hand generously, "It's for listening. If there are some plastic parts that haven't been removed, you can just remove them, Chika."

The three little ones had never been to a music store to buy albums. They only knew that those small discs were bought by Brother Xingyuan a long time ago and were not moved here until the music room was repaired.

That is to say, during the months when Xing Yuanhui went to Tokyo, no one took care of the music room, and the three little ones saw these albums when they were cleaning.

It’s just that they usually listen to music through streaming media and have never taken a close look at these small discs. It was only a while ago that they heard from their brother that they should receive the express delivery of small discs and put them in the storage room.

This was the first time that Nanami got something that her brother had never allowed anyone to touch, but her first reaction was - the cover of this thing was really pretty.

And then nothing happened. She had long been accustomed to not asking about her brother's things. Besides, there were photos of beautiful women on it, and we were a rock band.

Quan Jing, who was far away in Tokyo, was very satisfied with her arrangement - she hadn't spoken for so long, so of course she had to let a famous actress sing to make her presence felt.

If it doesn't seem a bit more of a big production, how can we easily cover up the strange phenomenon of the stars suddenly taking a break for such a long time?

People are mourning on the Internet, it has become a hot topic, and there is a month of commemoration. It's like he's dying.

“Is that so?” Fujiwara Chika blinked, feeling something was not right. “Thank you so much…”

Can you really let me open such a precious thing?! You didn't buy these, did you?

She hesitated to speak, but finally couldn't help but said, "Do you know whose albums these are?"

"..." Nanami froze for a moment, but her mind worked quickly, and she immediately made up a character that was not completely real to cover up her flaws. "Actually, these were brought by our music teacher. He prefers physical albums, but there is no place to put them at home, so he brought them here."

I can't say it's the dean, and then I'll be exposed immediately...Brother? How can I tell others about my cover target?

But what if there's nothing wrong? I don't think Qianhua-sister is affected at all!

Nanami, feeling somewhat guilty, immediately added: "He's a very nice guy! It's okay to just listen!"

My brother only said that the monitoring area is very important, and the others don’t matter much. The storage area should also be included, right?

"Uh, okay..."

This is so strange, there must be something wrong. Even if you are rich and have all the equipment you want, you don't need to build such an expensive music room, right?

And it doesn’t look like they were ripped off by picking only the expensive items; the combinations are all very reasonable.

Could it be that Xingyuan used it?

It's not that the characteristics don't match. I saw him running around with a microphone several times, and when the church leader sang the school song, his performance didn't sound like the musical level of an ordinary student.
