Congratulations, Sushi, you have been optimized by me.

"I... should be."

Although this question was not only asked by Xiangzi, but also mentioned several times by Su Shi at home, Chihiro Tozuka actually evaded the question every time.

Do you think she really wants to go to school? Actually, she doesn't really want to. After all, if she was really a studious child, she wouldn't have dropped out of school.

But it would be a lie to say that she had no desire to experience campus life again.

The key point is that the lifestyle on campus does not require worrying about the pressure of survival. Although studying is a bit tiring, the extracurricular life can also be very exciting, which really makes her yearn for it.

"Actually, I also think that working part-time to earn money is not a long-term solution. Xiao Qian, you really should go to school, or at least get into university."

"Well, you're quite right."

"Then let's go. I'll go with you to find a suitable training institution. Speaking of which... my grades are pretty good, so I can help you with your homework when I have time."

"Well...ok, alright."

Chihiro Tsuzuki knew that the person in front of her probably had no intention of giving in, and it would seem unreasonable for her to refuse again.

Throughout Tokyo, there are many tutoring institutions for students who are not studying in school, but many of them are for high school students preparing for the college entrance examination.

Of course, there are also some students who dropped out of school and go there to study and attend classes on their own. In short, as long as you are willing to pay, they will provide corresponding services.

Qianxun did not choose a place too far away from the Su family, because her original idea was to fool Xiaoxiang and then just go home.

"Xiao Qian, when did you stop going to school?"

"It should be the first year of junior high school, right?"

"...Is this so?"

Shoko Toyokawa didn't know what to say. She just felt that she was really lucky enough in front of Chihiro.

At least she can still act respectable enough and have enough opportunities in school to learn the knowledge that she should have absorbed seriously during this period.

For Xiangzi, studying hard is the most direct way she can think of to change the status quo. It is also for this reason that the small-scale youth band she joined before is really not suitable for her.

Just as Xiangzi was about to help Qianxun ask about the specific services here, she was suddenly hugged by Qianxun from behind, and she couldn't help but make a sound that made her blush:

"Hey~"

"Xiaoxiang, um...help me block it."

"Ah? Ah..." Shoko Toyokawa was stunned for a moment and did not turn around to look at the girl who was hiding behind her and resting her head on her back.

Instead, he noticed a girl with reddish-brown hair tied into two short ponytails standing not far in front of him.

Judging from the other person's outfit of a dark coat and a red plaid skirt, she seems to be about the same age as Xiao Qian?

Could it be... a classmate I knew in the past?

At this moment, Shoko Toyokawa suddenly had a strong sense of mission that protecting Xiaoqian was to protect her future self.

Chapter 59 Starting Today, the Position Reversal (2/2)

"Um, Xiao Qian..."

Shoko Toyokawa was a little uncomfortable with being hugged by the waist and hiding behind someone. She always felt a little itchy on her back.

So after seeing the reddish-brown-haired girl seemingly fill out some form and leave, Xiangzi whispered to the "terrified" Chihiro behind him:

"She's gone. You can come out now. She probably didn't notice you."

"call……"

After hearing this, Chihiro Tsuzuki stepped back from behind Xiangzi. Of course, apart from the fact that she wanted to take the opportunity to hug the cute little Xiangzi, she really didn't want to be discovered by Nina.

It’s okay to meet using Su Shi’s identity, but don’t use your real account.

"Is she someone you know?"

"Well... sort of." Tsuzuki Chihiro didn't really want to lie unless necessary, so she explained vaguely, "I don't really want her to see me like this."

"Is this so..."

She can understand everything.

There should be no one in this world who can understand better than her, Toyokawa Shoko, this kind of behavior that may seem unnecessary or even ridiculous to others.

Xiangzi didn't want others to question his thoughts, so when he saw someone who shared the same suffering as him doing something that he would do, the girl couldn't help but rack her brains to think of various words of comfort.

But it seemed that she really couldn't find any particularly useful words.

"Don't come here next time. You probably don't want to run into her again, right?"

"It's not that I don't want to see her, but I feel... I'm embarrassed to talk to her."

"I know."

She understood it too well, just like Xiangzi didn't want to be bumped into by Su Shi while working. He would be embarrassed and ridiculous, and he didn't know how to escape from the awkward atmosphere.

"Actually..." As the two of them walked on the street where the setting sun was about to fall to the ground, Toyokawa Shoko raised her head slightly and said to Chihiro beside her, "I'm the same as you. I don't want to see my old friends and I don't want them to know what I'm doing now.

So when you said you worked for Su Shi, I was really shocked.

Even today, I suggested that I accompany you to look at the training institution because I didn’t want to go back to the home I was familiar with.”

"Su Shi...she told me about your past."

Chihiro Tsuzuki thought about it and felt that now would be a good opportunity to reconcile the relationship between Xiaoxiang and Su Shi and the others.

And just as she thought, the same words might make Xiangzi nervous if said by Su Shi, but for Chihiro, as an "outsider", these words would definitely not have any special purpose in Xiangzi's eyes.

"Did she say anything to you?"

Toyokawa Shoko frowned slightly. She was actually a little confused about Su Shi's thoughts now, but it was obvious that she was not as resistant to Su Shi as before.

On the one hand, they were friends in the past, and on the other hand, the way they get along now is so good that Xiangzi has no reason to be mean to her.

"She said she once formed a band with everyone and that time was very happy. Although it has become a thing of the past, she will always remember those memories in her heart."

"……Yeah."

"Xiao Xiang."

"Ok?"

Toyokawa Shoko looked at Chihiro Tsuzuki who suddenly stopped, and she had already guessed what she would say.

Regardless of whether Su Shi asked Chihiro to convince him, or Chihiro herself felt a little upset after hearing those stories, Xiangzi believed that he could not go back to the past and could not work together with everyone in the past without interruption.

So before Qianxun opened her mouth, she spoke first:

"Sorry, Xiao Qian... If it's about reuniting the band, forget it. We can't go back."

......

In a high-end apartment building in Roppongi, Nagasaki Suyo is busy working in her kitchen.

When she just returned home, she had already checked the second bedroom and guest room. Chihiro's belongings in the second bedroom had been packed up, and the door of the guest room was locked tightly.

This shows that although Chihiro Tsuzuki is often harsh in her words, she will do her best to complete what she promised to others.

"But...what on earth is this today?"

Su Shi felt that he had completed the task ahead of schedule, right? Or was he halfway there?

But the problem is that although the band broke up, she also lost her popularity, right?

Even if Xiaoxiang's attitude improved, there might be a chance to deal with Xiangmu and the other one later. But by doing this today, it seemed that Xiaodeng and Lixi were pissed off and left.

She really is... an idiot.

"I'm back~"

Hearing this voice coming from behind, Nagasaki Suyo suddenly felt a little embarrassed to see Chihiro for some reason, and even felt like pretending to be invisible and running away.

"Eh? Sushi, why are you ignoring me?"

"Haha... did I?" Nagasaki Suyo clasped her hands together, tilted her head and smiled awkwardly, looking like she was begging for mercy.

"wrong."

Tsuzuki Chihiro raised an eyebrow, "You're hiding something from me, and you look so guilty. Did you do something 'good'?"

"This one……"

Nagasaki Suyo first learned from the last lesson and turned off the stove in the kitchen before chatting. Then she stumbled over and told everything that happened today.

Of course, her voice became softer as she spoke. At the end, she looked at the stiff face of the girl in front of her, which looked as if she wanted to hit someone, and took two steps back. Then she picked up the pot lid beside her and held it against her chest.

"Nagasaki Suyo, Nagasaki Suyo...you are such a genius."

"..."

"Didn't you say you were just going to check things out? What did you do? You demolished the house I just built? Are you a husky?

No, even Huskies are smarter than you look."

"I..." Nagasaki Suye was scolded and felt a little dissatisfied. "Your plan is to make me favor Aine and Lenna, and then let..."

"You dare to talk back?"

"..."

Seeing Su Shi suddenly become obedient and begging for mercy again, Tsuzuki Chihiro sighed and did not continue to blame her.

"Do you think the band will disband just because you pissed Li Xi off? With her personality, she'll probably try to get Xiao Deng on stage. She'll probably even consider getting a stranger as a temporary teammate."

"Forehead."

Nagasaki Suyo thought about it and felt that what Tsuzuki Chihiro said was really not wrong. After all, Riki was just very disappointed in her now.

People probably have a better impression of Xiao Deng, and even Aine and Lenai, than they do of themselves.

"You'd better not show up in RiNG anymore. Just be your peacekeeper until I get everything sorted out."

"it is good……"

"From now on, no matter what you do, you must ask me in advance. Also, let me know your LINE number when you chat with everyone."

"it is good……"

"Not only that, to punish you for disrupting my plans, you will be my full-time maid for the next few days. You will help me with the laundry, dishes, cooking, and cleaning. You will also have to prepare my bath water, change my dressings, and scrub my back."

"No, Chihiro Tsuzuki, I'm warning you not to go too far..."

"Don't talk back to me, promise."

"……it is good."

Chapter 60: What a Tsuzuki Chihiro! (1/2)

"Chi-Chihiro..."

"Didn't you say you wanted to add the master?"

"..."

"Forget it." Looking at Nagasaki Motoyo's attitude of not wanting to give in, Tsuzuki Chihiro waved her hand, stirring up some foam in the bathtub.

Yes, she was now in the bathroom of the Su Shi family. Except for her injured right leg which was placed on the edge of the bathtub in an inelegant posture, the rest of her body was covered in foamy bath water.

"You're not afraid of the wound getting worse."

Nagasaki Suyo rolled her eyes. Sometimes she felt that Chihiro was very mature and reliable, and she was more thoughtful and cautious than she expected.

But sometimes... this guy is extremely childish, especially when targeting himself.

Of course, even though Su Shi belittled Chihiro Tsuzuki in this way, she could not refute the fact that she had never really gained any advantage over this "naive" girl when she was on the line.

"It's okay, I believe Su Shi will help me take care of it."

"...I'm not your personal doctor."

"Stop talking nonsense and help me rub my back."

"Yes Yes Yes."

Nagasaki Suyo stood up reluctantly and took a towel, then touched the well-defined back of the stunningly beautiful girl with her clean fingers.

Nagasaki Suyo thought she had no virgin tendencies.

Although she admitted that she was not a person with a perfect personality, she would not forget that they were of the same sex just because of a few teasings from the guy in front of her.
