Their restricted abilities are refreshed every week.

Moreover, he has strong physical qualities in all aspects, a strong will, and an amazing learning ability, so he should focus on more realistic and important things.

Seeing that Shirakawa Haru was unmoved, the love guru with brown curly hair kicked Shirakawa Haru out of his capsule rental house with a stern face and melancholy in his eyes, and told him that the consultation fee would not be refunded.

When Shirakawa Haru went to find him again, he found that the love saint had been kicked out of the capsule hotel.

It turned out that this guy had bewitched the hotel owner's wife, daughter and sister, and the three women had fought each other just to get a date with him.

When the hotel owner found out, he was furious and kicked the love saint out.

"This is what makes you lovely, Haru." Shirakawa Haru was talking about her shortcomings, and Toyokawa Shoko was listening there silently. She certainly knew what Shirakawa Haru was worried about.

As one of the many girls who are in love with Shirakawa Haru, she has a deep understanding of Shirakawa Haru's shortcomings.

In her eyes, Shirakawa Haru was like a beam of light, inadvertently shining into everyone's heart.

You, are you actually being too nice to those girls without realizing it?

You are handsome and well-proportioned. When you smile, you are as warm and dazzling as the sun. Your heart is like a soft pure land, and you always have a gentle heart. No matter who encounters difficulties, you will lend a helping hand without hesitation and spare no effort to help those in need.

How can those girls who are treated so tenderly by you suppress their emotions and not fall in love with you?

——Because you are their first love.

Suddenly, Toyokawa Shoko seemed to be unable to hold back any longer and burst out laughing. The laughter sounded particularly clear and loud in the quiet piano room.

The piano sound, which was originally as smooth as a gurgling stream, seemed to be disturbed by the sudden laughter. It stopped abruptly and broke apart abruptly, making the atmosphere in the piano room instantly become a little strange.

There was a smile and a hint of indescribable cunning in her eyes, as if she had thought of something interesting, or as if she was teasing Shirakawa Haru's current predicament.

"You think this is cute?" Shirakawa Haru shrugged helplessly, "I think this is extremely troublesome. It has a huge impact on my life. It's a huge hassle. If I didn't have this shortcoming, my life would definitely be a lot easier."

He complained like this, but there was not much regret in his tone, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.

Shirakawa Haru could keenly sense that the tense mood of Toyokawa Shoko beside him had begun to slowly relax, just like a taut guitar string showing signs of being loosened, and this also made his mood begin to change.

Fortunately, there won't be such troublesome situations while living with Yuki.

Yuki and Shirakawa Haru know each other very well. They are blood-related siblings, and the bond of family affection is unbreakable.

In the special dimension of emotion, the two are like two parts of one person, as if only when they depend on each other and are closely connected, their emotional world is complete. This is a pure and true bond of family affection.

However, Shirakawa Haru thought of the modifier on her body that could quietly change his view and attitude towards Yuki.

Ever since it appeared, Shirakawa Haru found that his strange feelings towards Yuki continued to grow like mushrooms after rain.

Sometimes, just the casual touch of their bodies, the slightest contact, would send a tingling, electric tingle through their skin, like an electric current coursing through their bodies, stirring strange ripples in his heart. And sometimes, when his eyes fell on Yuki's plump, moist lips, he would inexplicably feel an indescribable appetite, as if those lips held a captivating allure, absorbing all his attention and clouding his thoughts. This feeling was so strange and intense that it constantly challenged his rationality.

isn't it?

So even his own sister Yuki couldn't escape the influence of his shortcomings and developed some strange feelings for him?

Shirakawa Haru thought about the books that Yuki often read and the games that she played, and found that most of the themes were about brothers and sisters.

Maybe Yuki actually has some strange thoughts about him!

"Qing..." Toyokawa Shoko's voice was like a candle swaying in the wind, with a hint of uneasiness and expectation.

She sat on the piano bench and turned around slowly, her movements so gentle as if she was afraid of disturbing some precious dream.

Her gaze fell cautiously on Shirakawa Haru, with a complex light flashing in her eyes, including nervousness, shyness, and more of a desperate courage.

I want to be very, very good friends with you..." Her lips trembled slightly, and every word seemed to be squeezed out of her mouth with all her strength.

She knew that once she said this, it would be like opening a door to the unknown. The world behind the door might be sunny or freezing cold.

"Not only do we want to be friends who can confide in each other..." Her voice gradually lowered, as if she was revealing a secret that belonged only to her, "I also want to be a friend who will last a lifetime."

The trembling at the corners of his lips spread in the air like ripples, making the atmosphere in the entire piano room instantly solemn. But within that solemnity, a different kind of warmth seemed to permeate it, like a few rays of warm sunshine shining through the clouds in winter, which was not scorching but enough to warm the heart.

"Okay." Shirakawa Haru responded crisply, his tone so relaxed that it seemed as if this was not some serious promise, but just a casual greeting.

But if Toyokawa Shoko could calm down and listen carefully at this moment, she would be able to discover that in Shirakawa Haru's seemingly crisp and decisive tone, there were actually some tiny impurities hidden.

These impurities are like a piece of crystal that appears perfect at first glance, but upon closer inspection, one can discover tiny flaws that are almost non-existent but do exist.

Although they are so small that they are easily overlooked, once noticed, people can't help but speculate about the different emotions or unexpressed thoughts that may be hidden behind them.

Perhaps this slight difference is hinting that Shirakawa Haru has complex feelings about this promise that even he himself has not fully figured out.

There was a faint smile on his lips, and his eyes were sincere and gentle. He seemed unaware of the turmoil in Toyokawa Shoko's heart at the moment, or perhaps he wanted to use this indifference to soothe her nervous and trembling emotions.

"So, we are reconciled now?" Toyokawa Shoko's tone was a little nervous.

"Yes, we've reconciled." Shirakawa Haru promised solemnly, "And, as my compensation to you, I will handle your relationship with Nagasaki Suyo for you. I can see that she has no ill will towards you."

"Thank you." Toyokawa Shoko fell into a brief silence when she heard Nagasaki Suyo's name. "I hope so. It would be great if that were the case."

In fact, she still dared not believe that Nagasaki Suyo, who had done so many things, would have no ill will towards her.

Toyokawa Shoko thought that Nagasaki Suyo might want to take revenge on her, the person who created CRYCHIC and led to its destruction.

If that were all, she would accept all the blame.

As long as she doesn't disturb my life anymore.

Toyokawa Shoko has an extremely firm belief in her heart. She firmly believes that as long as she can successfully pay off the heavy debt, she will not hesitate to regain her former courage and enthusiasm and boldly pursue Shirakawa Haru.

In her opinion, happiness is not an unattainable illusion, but something that really exists, just like a clearly visible signpost standing on the road of life.

As long as she keeps moving forward step by step along the path of life, one day she will reach the place marked with happiness and start a beautiful chapter with Shirakawa Haru. At that time, she will be her most authentic self, fighting for the love she has always dreamed of and embracing the happiness that is within reach.

"It's getting late." The alarm on Shirakawa Haru's phone began to ring. "The school festival will officially begin in ten minutes. Let's hurry and get ready."

"Hmm..." Shoko Toyokawa slowly walked to the window, her slender fingers gently grasped the edge of the curtain, and then gently pulled it open, blocking the world outside the window.

Then she reached out and pushed open the window with a "creak", as if playing the prelude to connecting with the outside world.

The late summer breeze seemed to have received an invitation and couldn't wait to flow in through the open window.

The breeze blew gently, lifting the curtains that were as light and flowing as a sari. The curtains danced in the air, as if dancing a light waltz with the wind.

Brown and blue colors flashed before Shoko Toyokawa's eyes.

She was caught off guard by the breeze that carried the unique scent of late summer. Although the wind was not strong, it made her unable to open her eyes for a while.

She subconsciously closed her eyes, tilted her head slightly, and felt the wind caressing her face gently, as if the wind was brushing away some of the haze in her heart, and seemed to be quietly telling the last gentle whispers of late summer.

"Haru, let's go!" Toyokawa Shoko smiled and took Shirakawa Haru's hand, then raised it up as if in victory. She thought that apart from his sister Yuki, she should be the first girl to hold hands with him. "Holding hands between friends, is it okay?"

"No." Shirakawa Haru replied. From his perspective, he could see Toyokawa Shoko's snow-white arms through her raised sleeves.

Chihaya Aine and her friends had already walked around the backstage of the small auditorium several times in order to find Nagasaki Suyo, who seemed lost in their eyes.

During this time, they did look for it outside the small auditorium, but Hinodemori Academy was too big, and if they looked aimlessly, they would definitely not find it.

They sent messages or called Nagasaki Suyo on Line, hoping to know her current condition and location.

The messages and calls I sent either showed as unreceived, or an electronic female voice said that the user was busy and not around, and asked me to call back later.

Unlike the others who were anxious and running around looking for Nagasaki Suyo, Lenai sat happily on the portable speaker and glided happily on the marble tiles of the small auditorium.

She is the only one who is carefree.

Lenai thought to herself that it was no big deal.

When she gently grasped the corner of Shirakawa Haru's clothes, she could truly feel a different, reassuring sense of security from him.

It feels like finding a warm and sturdy cardboard box on a stormy night that won’t get wet by the heavy rain or blow away by the wind.

She could hide in it and feel as warm as if she were back home.

So Le Na believed that as long as Shirakawa Haru was still in Hinomori, nothing would happen to Su Shi.

"Tsk! The Hinomori Academy Festival starts in less than ten minutes." Shiina Riki was a little uneasy. "I remember the live performance in the small auditorium is the first event of the Academy Festival, right? If she doesn't show up by then, our live performance will be completely ruined."

"Now is not the time to worry about Live, Su Shi's personal safety is the most important!" Chihaya Aine's expression was a little anxious, "Su Shi must not be in any danger!"

"If anything happens to Su Shi, I will never forgive myself!" Chihaya Aine looked like she was about to cry, and Takamatsu Deng was comforting her.

"Sorry! I got lost just now. I walked around the Hinomori Forest for a long time before I found here!" Nagasaki Motoyo walked in from the backstage of the small auditorium with a panicked expression.

Chihaya Aion looked at Nagasaki Suyo walking on this road. Her steps were light and steady, and there was a natural familiarity in her movements.

It seems as if he knows every corner and every bend here.

There was absolutely no sign of confusion, panic or helplessness that a lost person should have.

Is Su Shi hiding something from us?

Chihaya Aine thought that perhaps she didn't know anything about Nagasaki Suyo.

In her eyes, Nagasaki Suyo is the gentlest person in the entire band. She treats everyone gently. Every time Li Xi gets angry with her, Suyo is the first to stand up and speak for her.

But the Su Shi that the chairman saw when he took her to the Moon Forest was not like this.

At that time, Nagasaki Suyo looked at him with extremely cold eyes, as if she was looking at a stranger. There was only Vice President Toyokawa in her eyes.

Don't think too much...

Chihaya Aine approached Nagasaki Suyo and said:

"Su Shi, where were you just now? I called you but you didn't answer, and I sent you messages but you didn't even read them. I even thought something happened to you!"

"Eh?" Nagasaki Suyo opened her eyes slightly wide, her eyes full of confusion and surprise. "Did you call me?" She tilted her head, frowned slightly, and a confused look appeared on her face. "I really didn't hear it~"

There was a deep sense of apology in her voice, and it seemed as if the apology was about to overflow from her words.

Nagasaki Suyo's fingers were rubbing unconsciously.

"If you get lost again next time, you'll never find your way back." Li Xi said dissatisfiedly.

"Sorry~Sorry~" Nagasaki Suyo apologized again.

"Li Xi, stop talking about Su Shi like that. Think about it, if you get lost, do you want to be treated like that?" Ain stood up and spoke for Su Shi.

"what?"

"Riki, we are all friends." After Takamatsu Deng comforted Chihaya Aine, he came to comfort Riki and Su Shi.

Lenai watched them playing with each other with great interest.

"Double, Aine, Nagasaki-san, Shiina-san, are you all ready for the upcoming live performance?" Shirakawa Haru walked backstage, his slender figure standing out against the backstage lights. "It's your turn soon."

"I have arranged your performance order relatively early, so that more people will pay attention to your band and watch your performance carefully," said Shirakawa Haru.

"Wait, wait! I want to put on some light makeup first!" After hearing what Shirakawa Haru said, Chihaya Aine's eyes lit up immediately, and she excitedly pulled the lamp and Su Shi's hands and ran towards the makeup area.

Her nimble figure shuttled backstage, and every movement was filled with the youthful aura of a girl.

"Aine... run slower, be careful not to fall." Deng whispered a reminder beside Aine, while Nagasaki Suyo looked at Aine and Deng with smiles on their faces.

"Huh..." Shiina Riki breathed a sigh of relief and frowned slightly, as if she was choosing her words, "How should I put it?" She slowly turned her head and looked straight at Shirakawa Haru, with a hint of complex emotions in her eyes.

"Thank you, Shirakawa Haru." Riki's tone became particularly serious, and every word seemed to carry the gratitude in her heart. "I heard from Aine that it was you who approved the proposal to hold a live performance at the academy festival. It was you who gave us this opportunity to perform on stage."

As she spoke, she subconsciously rubbed her cheek with her fingers.

The gentle rubbing seemed to ease the slight tension in her heart, or perhaps it was a way to convey the sincere gratitude in her words.

It was as if this simple gesture could make her gratitude more deeply felt by the other party.

"Deng, wait for me!" Li Xi chased Deng's back.

After a few songs, Shirakawa Haru was sitting in the front row of the small auditorium, with an empty seat next to him.

At this moment, under the lighting, the girls in the band on the stage look dazzling.

Chihaya Aine and Takamatsu Touma both looked at Shirakawa Haru deeply.

As the Lixi drum beats, their live performance officially begins!

Chapter 5.5: Aphasia Lamp: Emergency Rescue (k)

The drumstick fell, and the sound of the drum, like the sound of nature from the depths of the universe, sounded the bell of fate.

It was like a magic spell from ancient legend that awakened a sleeping world, or a sacred key that unlocked a mysterious treasure. In an instant, the music surged like a surging tide, sweeping across the entire space with overwhelming force, instantly shaking everyone's heart.

Chihaya Aine, her eyes were like deep lake water, with emotions rippling like ripples.

She strummed the guitar in her hands quickly, and notes flowed out with every vibration of the guitar strings.

Although these notes are still a little immature, they are the crystallization of sweat and unpolished jade.

Standing on the stage, Lenai was like a master of music, and her guitar skills were superb.

Like a wondrous painter, Le Nai freely displays her talent on the canvas of music. She skillfully incorporates a wealth of exquisite techniques into her playing, which dance like nimble butterflies amidst a blossoming field of notes. Every plucking, glissando, and pull-off is precise and imbued with artistic flair.
