Chapter 91 The Red-Haired Girl at the Entrance of STARRY

"Goto-san, where are you now? Ijichi-san is very worried about you, and she asked me to come find you." Shirakawa Haru sent a message to Goto Ichiri on his mobile phone.

He sat on the tram and saw that Goto Ichiri's status had changed to "typing", but after three full minutes, she couldn't send anything.

This reminded Shirakawa Haru of Toyokawa Shoko not long ago.

She also likes to do this when sending messages, writing a lot but sending very little.

"What's wrong, Goto-san? Are you afraid that I will blame you?" Shirakawa Haru sent a message on his mobile phone.

"No, that's not it..." Goto Ichiri replied, "I'm just a little scared. I don't know how to face Ichi Chito...Nijiga and Ryou. I think I've let them down again."

"It's nothing. This is your first time in a band, right?" Shirakawa Haru said. "Ijichi-san and Yamada-san both know this, and they'll understand. Ijichi-san even called me just now. She's really worried about you."

"Where are you? I'm coming to find you." The train arrived at the station. Shirakawa Haru got off the train and bought a bottle of Calpis at the supermarket.

Shirakawa Haru waited for a long time but Goto Ichiri didn't reply to his message. He guessed that she might have encountered some trouble, so he called Goto Ichiri directly.

This time, it took less than a second for Goto Ichiri to answer the phone.

Shirakawa Haru asked Goto Ichiri, "Where are you?" "I'll take you to the End Band in a minute. Don't worry about people getting mad at you. The End Band is full of nice girls. Ijichi-san and Yamada Ryo are both very nice, and of course, you're one of them too. If you're missing, they're not the only ones worried about you; I am too."

He kept comforting Goto Ichiri, but Goto Ichiri didn't say a word on the phone.

Shirakawa Haru felt a little helpless, wondering why this girl was so stubborn. He had said that Ichichi Hongxia and Yamada Ryo were not angry with her at all, otherwise they would not have called him so early in the morning to ask him to help find her, but she was obsessed with thinking that she was hated, and then she ran away to squat somewhere and shut herself up.

"If you think I'm too annoying, Goto, just hang up the phone," said Shirakawa Haru.

This time, Goto Ichiri finally spoke. Her tone was cautious and a little timid, like a snail lying on a flower bed after the rain, using its tentacles to touch the dangling water droplets on the flowers: "No... I never found Shirakawa-kun annoying..."

"Can't you really tell me where you are now?" Shirakawa Haru said helplessly. When he said this, he could clearly feel that Goto Ichiri's breathing on the other end of the phone paused for a moment.

"Hold, hold... Sorry! Shirakawa-kun, can you let me be alone for a while?" Goto Ichiri's tone was very pitiful.

"No, I'll be there soon, and I already know where you are. Don't think I don't know where you are unless you tell me."

"Eh? Eh... Eh!" Goto Ichiri's voice became trembling, "Shirakawa-kun is so scary!"

Shirakawa Haru didn't reply. He pricked up his ears, listening to the sounds coming from the other end of the phone. He heard Goto Ichiri's gentle breathing, the murmur of his guitar strings being nervously stroked by his fingers, and the moist, refreshing air of moisture. The term "moisture" was so mysterious, but sometimes the human body felt so strange, like when you hear the crashing sound of waves on rocks from across a mountain, it feels like the mountain before you can't block your view; the waves surge towards you like a galloping horse.

Shirakawa Haru asked affirmatively: "Goto-san, is there a river near you?"

Goto Ichiri didn't answer, but her breathing rhythm began to become irregular.

"I see."

Shirakawa Haru turned on the screen of his mobile phone, opened the map application, and began to look up information about the surrounding rivers.

The first consideration is that the river should be located not too far from STARRY and Shimokitazawa Station.

After all, Goto Ichiri was quite unfamiliar with Shimokitazawa. When people are in an unfamiliar environment, they will instinctively tend to stay around areas that give them a sense of security.

Secondly, the river flow cannot be too turbulent, otherwise, according to common sense, he should have captured a louder sound of flowing water on the phone just now.

Finally, the river should be located in an area with few human activities.

If there were a lot of people coming and going there, Goto Ichiri would not stay there alone to practice the piano.

Based on these entries, Shirakawa Haru found a total of three rivers that met the requirements.

He then connected the locations of STARRY and Shimokitazawa Station on the map into a line, and eliminated places that were too far from this line.

Shirakawa Haru found the location of Goto Ichiri, and this was the only place that met all the conditions.

There is indeed a big river there, the flow of the river is not fast, but it is very deep.

He suddenly thought, "Could Goto Ichiri, being alone by the river, accidentally fall into it?" He couldn't help but laugh, feeling that this thought was both abrupt and terrifying. Goto Ichiri wasn't a child, so how could he suddenly fall into the river?

The river was not far from where he was now. He originally wanted to take a taxi directly there, but then he thought it would be better for him to rent a bicycle. After all, the streets of Tokyo are prone to traffic jams, and riding a bicycle would actually be faster for such a short distance.

Shirakawa Haru jumped off his bicycle, and when he walked to the slope by the river, he heard the unique guitar sound of Goto Ichiri. He felt that the world was spinning, and the bright morning sun could coexist with the sunset, and the invisible dividing line between the two was the music of Goto Ichiri that was full of unease.

The sound of the piano suddenly disappeared, and Shirakawa Haru found Goto Ichiri on the concrete pier under the steel bridge. She was rubbing her hair with her hands in frustration.

Her hair quickly became matted, and from a distance she looked like Brian May from Queen.

Shirakawa Haru's pupils suddenly dilated, a natural reaction to danger. His premonition had come true. Right before him, Goto Ichiri's hairpiece fell into the river. As she lost her balance, she screamed, "Help me, Haru-kun!" and was about to fall in. He had never been more grateful for his premonition than today. He rushed forward, and just before Goto Ichiri fell into the water, he grabbed her hand and pulled her back.

"Do you know that if I hadn't found this place, you would have died here today!"

Shirakawa Haru was a little angry, because he really didn't expect that Goto Ichiri, such a grown-up, would choose to stay alone on the concrete pier near the water and even fall from it.

He didn't know if Goto Ichiri could swim, but if she really fell into the water with a guitar with a strap in her arms, she would definitely not be able to float up for a while. He knew that she was not calm enough, and in this situation, she might really die here. Even if the person in front of him was Suho Yuki instead of Goto Ichiri, he would criticize her harshly.

But when he really wanted to speak, he was speechless.

Shirakawa Haru knew that Goto Ichiri needed soft comfort more than harsh criticism at this moment. He felt a warmth in his chest and wondered if Goto Ichiri was crying. He could hear her sobbing softly.

"Haru-kun, I'm sorry." Goto Ichiri couldn't stop crying at all. "It's a good thing you came." She hugged Shirakawa Haru tightly, and after a long, long time, she burst into tears.

Goto Ichiri didn't know if anyone was watching her at this moment. She no longer cared about other people's gazes.

After all, she had just struggled back from the brink of death, and when she fell on the concrete pier, she knew that if no one came to rescue her, she would really die here.

"Will you dare to run away alone next time?" Shirakawa Haru put one arm around Goto Ichiri's back and stroked her long hair with the other hand. He smelled a pleasant scent on Goto Ichiri's body.

The sun was shining brightly in the early morning. Breathing the moist air by the river, Shirakawa Haru lowered his head and was suddenly blinded by a dazzling light. He closed his eyes, but the rich fragrance kept entering his nostrils.

It would be rude to hug her any further. Shirakawa Haru realized that the fragrance was coming from the girl's pure and flawless body. He let go of her hand and wanted to keep a distance from Goto Ichiri, but she held him tightly, like an octopus hunting small fish.

"No, I dare not..."

"Do you know you're wrong?" Shirakawa Haru took steps with difficulty. He found that Goto Ichiri had wrapped his legs around him and was rubbing against him!

"I know I was wrong." Goto Ichiri said in a low voice.

"What's wrong?" asked Shirakawa Haru.

"do not know."

"And you say you know you're wrong."

"Since Haru-kun said so, it must be my fault." Goto Ichiri said with confidence.

"Goto-san..."

"Haru-kun, can you call me Ichiri?" Goto Ichiri said softly, his voice like some fragile glass, which would shatter easily without hitting anything hard, as long as the morning sunlight was too dazzling.

"Yili, did you wipe your snot on my coat?" asked Shirakawa Haru.

"...Haru-kun, why are you like this?" Goto Ichiri angrily lifted his head from Shirakawa Haru's chest, looking up at his condescending face. Radiant in the golden sunlight, he looked like a true god, a smile adorning his lips, the tenderness in his eyes seemingly transforming her into a tranquil, clear spring.

"You didn't even raise your head to talk to me just now. Were you too scared? Now that you're like this, do you feel better?" Shirakawa Haru let go of his hand again and patted Goto Ichiri on the back.

It was only then that Goto Ichiri realized that she had been hugging Shirakawa Haru for such an indecent time. She was savoring the feeling of her body being pressed against Shirakawa Haru's, and thought that when she was hugging Haru and rubbing her body against him, she felt so comfortable, as if she was lying on soft clouds, her body being hot from the sun.

She wanted to hug him again. How could a person who looked so strong be so soft?

The electric guitar was still hanging on her chest, which prevented her from hugging Qingjun.

Otherwise, we would have been more intimate...

"Well, thanks to Haru-kun, I feel much better now." Goto Ichiri let go of his hand and kept some distance from Shirakawa Haru.

"Would you like some Calpis?" Shirakawa Haru took out the bottle of Calpis and handed it to Goto Ichiri. "Adjust your breathing and drink some water."

Goto Ichiri obediently took the drink from Shirakawa Haru's hand, unscrewed the cap and drank it: "Thank... Thank you."

"Drink slowly, be careful not to choke." said Shirakawa Haru.

"it is good."

Shirakawa Haru sat on the slope of the riverbank. Goto Ichiri was putting his electric guitar in its case. He didn't take his eyes off Goto Ichiri for even a second. He called Ijichi Kouka: "Ijichi-san, I found Goto-san."

"Really? Where is she?" Ijichi Hongxia's energetic voice came from the phone.

"She's by a river where not many people usually pass by. She's packing her guitar now and will probably come to STARRY soon." Shirakawa Haru said, "Would you like something to drink? I can bring it to you on my way over."

"Eh...eh?" Ijichi Hongxia was a little surprised and a little shy at the same time. Because there were boys in school who wanted to bring her drinks before, but she refused without thinking. But with Shirakawa Haru, she had to think for a while, "Isn't it too much trouble?"

"Don't think too much about it." Baichuan Qing said, "It's just a side trip."

"Well, then I'll have Fujiya's fruit juice drink, peach flavor." Ijichi Hongxia said, "As for Ichiri-chan, ah, Ichiri-chan is right next to you."

"I understand. You want Fujiya's fruit juice drink, right?" Shirakawa Haru said.

"Ah."

"See you later." Baichuan Qing hung up the phone.

When Shirakawa Haru hung up the phone, Goto Ichiri also walked to his side. He stood up, patted the dust off his butt, looked at Goto Ichiri and said, "I will keep this matter a secret for you."

"Hmm...hmm!" Goto Ichiri nodded, his voice as soft as a mosquito.

"When the time comes, apologize to Ijichi-san and Yamada-san. They were both very worried about you," Shirakawa Haru said, emphasizing each word. "Ijichi-san sent me a message right after you ran away. While I was on the phone with her, Yamada-san's breathing was a little rapid. She must have been looking for you outside before returning. Friends like this are rare in this world. Don't make them worry about you anymore."

Goto Ichiri seemed a little embarrassed because Shirakawa Haru looked very serious when he said these words.

Although he had used this tone when talking to himself before, the situation then was different from now.

She had just escaped death, so no matter what Shirakawa Haru said, she felt that his tone was more serious and earnest than ever before.

"Let them know you're safe first," Shirakawa Haru said. "Use your own phone."

Goto Ichiri sent an apology emoji to both Ijichi Nikka and Yamada Ryo on Line, promising to never do that again. Ijichi Nikka replied with a "Rilakkuma holding a heart" emoji. Yamada Ryo said, "Well, Pochi-chan, I want you to treat me to dinner this Sunday."

Goto Ichiri agreed, and she also asked Yamada Ryo where they were going to eat. If it was a very high-end restaurant, she would ask her mother to borrow money first.

"Let's go, let's go to STARRY." said Shirakawa Haru.

Goto Ichiri began to walk along the path along the river.

"Are you planning to just walk back like this?" Shirakawa Haru asked Goto Ichiri.

"I, I can't run anymore... I ran here from STARRY." Goto Ichiri turned around and tilted his head. "I just cried for a long time, and now I don't have the strength to run back..."

Shirakawa Haru kicked off the bicycle's kickstand, patted the storage rack on the back seat and said, "I mean, you can sit on the storage rack for a mile and I'll carry you."

When Shirakawa Haru parked his bicycle in front of STARRY's door, he noticed a red-haired girl secretly looking at Yamada Ryo and Ijichi Nikka down the stairs.

Chapter 92 Hey, why don’t you look like me?

"Haru...Shirakawa-kun, look at that red-haired girl, she looks like me." Goto Ichiri walked behind Shirakawa Haru and also noticed the girl hiding at the corner of the stairs.

Kita Yudai was fiddling with her hair with her fingers, her head lowered, her gaze fixed on the entrance of STARRY.

Yamada Ryo and Ijichi Nijinka were standing there. They had just received the message from Goto Ichiri that they were safe, so they immediately stood at the door waiting for Shirakawa Haru and Goto Ichiri.

"Goto-san, you said she looks a lot like you. What do you mean?" Shirakawa Haru parked the bike with the kickstands open, then picked up the plastic bag containing three drinks in the basket. "Are you saying you both longed to see Ijichi-san and Yamada-san but didn't dare to face them, or are you both carrying guitar cases?"

Shirakawa Haru handed Goto Ichiri a bottle of mango juice and said, "Also, the red-haired girl is carrying a bass."

Goto Ichiri took the mango juice from Shirakawa Haru's hand in a daze. The touch of her hand was cold. She belatedly called out softly: "Shirakawa-kun, even I have it!"

"What's wrong? You don't like mango juice?" Shirakawa Haru sounded a little uncertain. "I wanted to ask you what you'd like to drink, but I had a feeling you'd say 'anything'. I hate that kind of answer because it makes me feel like, 'I don't know what I want, but you have to give me a satisfactory answer,' so I didn't ask. I saw that you seemed to like the cardboard box that contained the mangoes, so I thought you would like mango juice."

"Okay, so happy!" Goto Ichiri couldn't hide the smile on her face at all.

"Can I ask you some questions?" Shirakawa Haru said.

"Hmm, hmm!" Goto Ichiri took a sip of mango juice, her face full of "delicious" expression. It was actually easy to guess what she was thinking because it was all written on her face.

"Why did you suddenly call me 'Haru-kun', but then suddenly stopped? It seemed like you called me that for a long time when you were sitting on the bicycle just now?" Shirakawa Haru asked a very fatal question to Goto Ichiri.

"Eh? Eh... Eh!" Goto Ichiri covered his face and wanted to squat down with his head in his hands.

Just now, Shirakawa Haru was riding a bicycle in front, and Goto Ichiri was sitting on the storage rack behind the bicycle. She secretly stroked Shirakawa Haru's back with her palm. Shirakawa Haru felt a little itchy, so she asked Goto Ichiri, "What are you doing?"

Goto Ichiri said it was her first time sitting on a bicycle rack, so she was a little scared.

Baichuan Qing said that if you are afraid, just put your hands around my waist. Your movements may look a little ugly in the eyes of others, but don't worry, it's safe. Also, don't touch my waist.

Because he had to take care of Goto Ichiri who was sitting on the storage rack, Shirakawa Haru didn't ride his bike very fast, but the wind blowing in his face still blew his hair back.

Goto Ichiri responded blankly and then hugged Shirakawa Haru's waist and put his face on it.

She smelled the sandalwood scent emanating from Shirakawa Haru's hair and thought that this was the scent of Shirakawa-kun. She felt her face was so hot as if it was on fire when it touched his back, and she kept muttering "Haru-kun".

She originally thought that Baichuan Qing didn't hear it, but did he hear it?

Shirakawa-kun actually listened all the way!

Goto Ichiri wished he could turn into a curled-up slug or earthworm, and then be dried into a flattened insect by the sun, and then burrow into the cracks in the tiles to be resurrected, and stay there for the rest of his life!
