Congratulations, Sushi, you have been optimized by me.

"Sister Qianxun, can you play the guitar?"

"Ah... well." Tsuzuki Chihiro smiled, "My playing is average, only slightly better than my cousin's."

"Your cousin?"

"He should be in the third grade of junior high school now."

"Oh……"

That should really be just average.

However, Jing Qinren was inexplicably distracted when looking at the guitar, and the song she had been listening to on the subway seemed to ring in her ears again.

Music really empowers people...

Maybe because there was nothing else to talk about, or maybe Nina really wanted to confirm something, she raised her head and asked when Chihiro was about to play a few simple songs:

"Sister Chihiro!"

"What's wrong?" Tsuzuki Chihiro was a little confused. She looked at Nina with a smile in her eyes and asked, "Why do I always feel like you're so jumpy?"

"I, I want to ask... Sister Qianxun, did you quarrel with your family because of music?"

"..."

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked."

"It's okay." Tsuzuki Chihiro didn't care about it at all. She waved her hand and said gently, "Rina-chan ran away from home because she had a quarrel with her family, right?"

"It's not actually running away from home..."

I still rent a house with my family's money and live with the support of my family, so it can't be considered as running away from home at all.

At this point, Nina felt that she was not as good as Chihiro Tsuzuki, whom she had just known for a few hours.

"Look, we're even."

"Eh?"

"You asked me a difficult question, and I asked you a difficult question. Isn't that even?"

Chihiro Tsuzuki put down the guitar, put it back into the guitar bag, and stuffed it into the full suitcase in a god-like storage method that stunned Nina.

Then, under the girl's puzzled gaze, he stood up, patted Nina's shoulder and said:

"Your phone rang just now. It must be your family calling you, right? I'll go to the living room to help you check the quality of the house. You can respond to your family's concerns."

"..."

After saying this, Chihiro Tsuzuki closed the door and left the problem child alone in the room.

"Alas, my unnecessary sympathy is really wasting time."

Chihiro walked into the living room, found a chair and sat down, supporting her chin with one hand and resting her elbow on the table. With the other hand, she opened her mobile phone and looked up information about Tsuki no Mori.

She definitely won't stay with Rencai forever.

Of course, it wasn't because he couldn't bear to cheat the stupid girl, but simply because he felt that this shabby house was too shabby to live in. How could a beautiful girl of her level be confined to here?

At least we have to go to a five-star hotel, right?

But before that, she needed to figure out how to get into Tsuki no Mori Girls' Academy.

First of all, this school is mainly opened for the children of celebrities and politicians in the entertainment industry. It is an authentic aristocratic school, and its management must be very strict.

If she had just put students in, she would definitely have been stopped, and there wouldn't have been much benefit for her just by putting students in.

Then why not just... pretend to be a teacher? After all, teachers at Tsuki no Mori eat in the school cafeteria for free! This is much better than students who have to pay by credit card.

Even... she could even guest-star as an English teacher in Aine's class, letting the embarrassing pink-haired girl recite poetry in front of her with an old London accent.

More fun than ever!

But before that, she still had to confirm some information.

Thinking of this, Chihiro Tsuzuki opened the official website of Tsuki no Mori and began to search for all useful information.

Chapter 5: The Debt Mounts (Part 1 of 2)

It was the first time for Jing Qinrencai to sleep in such an unfamiliar place, and it was obvious that she did not sleep well last night.

Lying on her side, her consciousness was a little dazed, and the wall in front of her had a hazy feeling as if she was about to wake up. Laziness made her curl up in the quilt, but the idea of wanting to start a new study life alone made her try hard to open her eyes.

She dropped out of school.

But that was not her fault. She was not the bully. She was the victim of school bullying. But... she was the one who dropped out of school. She was also the one who ran away to live independently because she could not accept the accusations from her family.

No matter what, she had to prove to her father, mother and sister that she was right.

Even in the current situation, she wants to get into college on her own.

"get up!"

Renai kicked the quilt, as if to kick away her laziness, but when she turned over, she saw that the floor beside her was empty.

The quilt that I used to sleep on the floor yesterday has been folded and placed on the coffee table next to me, neatly arranged, as if it had never been moved since the beginning.

There was a note on top of the quilt.

Wait… a sticky note?

"To Xiao Rencai, who's not so smart: I'm running away. I cheated you out of eating and staying here for a night, but now that I've felt guilty, I think I need to escape before you discover the truth...

Eh???”

Jing Qinrencai looked at the piece of paper that was obviously torn from the notepad in the suitcase. Her head was dizzy and she seemed to be able to feel the presence of water if she shook it.

After she flipped the note over, she actually found a line of words written on the back:

[Congratulations, you won the prize: a wish ticket.

With this voucher, you can redeem a reasonable wish from me, but... the prerequisite is that you can find me (?????)

Oh, by the way, I took some of your money as my escape expenses. I will definitely return it to you next time. I guarantee it with my dignity (ノ≧?≦)ノ]

"Sister Qianxun..."

Jing Qinrenai walked around the room desperately, but she really couldn't see any trace of the other party's existence. Apart from the note in her hand, it seemed that Tsuzuki Chihiro really didn't exist at all.

"I was actually thinking of inviting you to see my favorite musician's street performance tonight... Seriously."

.........

On the other side, the time was 4 am on April 27th.

Chihiro Tsuzuki wore a big golden wavy wig, delicate and mature makeup and female sunglasses. She didn't look like a 16-year-old girl at all, but rather like a successful person in the entertainment industry.

She was in a five-star hotel in Tokyo, whose full name was Four Seasons Hotel Tokyo. It was a smaller hotel but its interior was no worse than other five-star hotels.

Because the location is near Tokyo Station, Chihiro didn't hesitate to spend some money on Konin's wallet just to pay for the fare.

Alas...what a sin.

However, the reason why we chose this place specifically is actually for a reason.

Although the Four Seasons Hotel is slightly smaller in scale, it places great emphasis on privacy and customized and personalized services, making it very suitable for a swindler like her who comes here to stay under the guise of a "friend".

"Hello, ma'am, have you made an appointment in advance?"

"Excuse me, can you speak English?"

Chihiro Tsuzuki acted like a foreign friend and spoke with a very standard London accent.

Her outfit and makeup did look a bit like a mixed-race beauty, so the front desk staff didn't suspect anything for a while.

"Sure, how can I help you?"

The salary of a front desk clerk in a five-star hotel is not easy to earn. Although from Chihiro Tsuzuki's perspective, the spoken English of this receptionist is somewhat in line with the public's stereotype of Japan, but at least it can reach the level of communication.

"Look, I'm Mizushima Ayano's agent, and this is my business card."

"Mizushima Ayano? You mean... the internationally renowned pianist Mizushima Ayano?!"

"Yes."

After saying that, Tsuzuki Chihiro handed over the business card she had prepared long ago. Then, while the other party seemed to be checking the business card, she deliberately interrupted and said:

"Ayano needs to come to Neon this week to discuss a performance collaboration. Our people should have made a reservation with your hotel in advance, right?"

"Ah...wait a moment ma'am, I'll check now."

Of course, Mizushima Ayano exists. Chihiro even took Aine, who was in a bad mood, to watch her performance.

Of course, Aine paid for the tickets.

But if you have to say it, Mizushima Ayano does have some relationship with her, they are... former bandmates.

She had certainly been in a band for a while in the UK, but because her personal skills were too outstanding and she only cared about herself when playing, and was not sociable, she eventually took the initiative to leave the band.

Of course, before leaving, she took some money from keyboard player Mizushima Ayano and left a blank check for her.

...The kind that I write to Nina.

"Sorry..." After a moment, the lady at the front desk said embarrassedly, "I can't find the relevant reservation information."

"Damn it, how do these people do things! Forget it...just get me two rooms now, one of which should be quiet. Our Ayano doesn't like noise."

If we just say that, even though the momentum is there and Chihiro's performance is enough to hold the stage, it is still easy to be doubted under normal circumstances.

So just when the receptionist was hesitating, her cell phone rang. Of course, it was the alarm she had set in advance.

But Chihiro Tsuzuki must have picked up the phone and pretended to answer it.

"What? You mean the Four Seasons is too small? Not as good as the Mandarin Oriental next door?"

"Okay, okay, then I'll talk to her now."

After "hanging up" the phone, Chihiro Tsuzuki looked at the receptionist in front of her with an apologetic look, who was obviously a little dissatisfied.

But before she could say anything, the receptionist hesitated for a moment, then, after considering factors such as celebrity value and competitor hotels, took the initiative to say to Qianxun:

"Um, ma'am, could you please wait a moment?"

"Ok?"

"I'll call the manager real quick."

After saying this, the receptionist actually made a phone call, and after a conversation, he nodded excitedly, and finally explained to Chihiro Tsuzuki in English:

"Is this all right? If you stay at our hotel, we can give you a 15% discount. And honestly, our customized service is second to none. I'm sure Miss Mizushima won't be disappointed."

"……Fine."

After hesitating for a long time, Chihiro Tsuzuki finally agreed with some difficulty. After agreeing, she did not foolishly ask how much money it would cost.

At times like this, you have to pretend that nothing happened.

"Then take me to the room first. I'll put my luggage down. I have a lot of things to do later."

"Oh, okay, okay, I'll get someone to take you there right away."

"Oh, right."

Before leaving, Chihiro Tsuzuki turned around and added, "The information about this commercial performance has not been made public yet, so please keep it confidential to the outside world."

"That's natural, please don't worry."

After leaving the hall, Chihiro took out her phone and found the contact information of Mizushima Ayano, then sent her a message:

"Ayano, haven't you been asking me for money? I'm at the Four Seasons Hotel Tokyo right now. Come over if you dare!"

Not long after, the other party sent a message back.

[Okay, okay, you bastard, you actually dared to contact me? I'll fly over and skin you alive!]

But after a while, another message came from the other side.

This time the tone seemed completely different from just now, and the length was so much longer.

Forget it, I won’t go back to China.

I know you are short of money again. It doesn't matter if I transfer a little more money to you. You can pay me back when you have the chance. Anyway, after you and your grandmother have recognized each other, I think you will definitely not lack this little money from me.

Also, you really should have returned to Tokyo sooner. Wasn't your grandmother the musician you most respected? Don't stay away from home just because of your parents' accident and a momentary fit of anger a few years ago.

Maybe you can even form a band with your sister Lenai, whom you always talk about, and start your dream again.
