You are Toyokawa Shoko, then who am I?

The corners of Toyokawa Sho's mouth twitched, and then he sighed helplessly. He did know a store where he might be able to buy cigarettes.

The checkout clerks there are Mocha from Afterglow and Lisa from Roselia. You shouldn't be forced to show your ID when buying from them.

But judging from Senior Lisa's personality, the moment I put the cigarette in front of her, it would trigger her kind and gentle maternal radiance, and she would sublimate herself with incomparable love and tolerance, allowing me to put down the cigarette box and start a new life.

"……Ugh."

Toyokawa Sho realized that he probably wouldn't be able to smoke.

In fact, he didn't have any addiction to smoking, but at that time he was under a lot of pressure because he watched the scumbag smoking every day. At that time, the scumbag still had thoughts about the past in his heart and had not given up on the scumbag, so when he couldn't bear it anymore, he would imitate the scumbag and take out a few cigarettes to relieve his sorrow and boredom.

Later, because Mu didn't like the smell of cigarettes, he never touched it again. His way of relieving stress also changed from escaping the world by smoking to closing his eyes and resting in Mu's arms.

But now he has no harmony.

There was no one else around.

When faced with such a troublesome situation, the only option is to buy a pack of cigarettes.

As a result, I ignored my current physical age and couldn't buy it even when I got to the convenience store. If I bought it, I would be caught by the clerk.

After all, it's time to go.

It’s better to relieve your emotions by emptying your mind.

Fengchuan Xiang walked back to Jueying, jumped on the horse, and thought about riding aimlessly for a while, riding wherever it took him, and then going to RiNG to wait for Lixi to come to work.

However, Jueying was stubborn again. After he got on the horse, he found that he could not ride Jueying. He exerted force on the handlebars with both hands for a long time, but he could not move this evil creature even a little bit even with the tiles of the corridor of life.

It was as if he was riding not a simple and light bicycle, but a white dragon horse that was actually the third prince of the Dragon King of the West Sea.

How can this be?

This evil creature's combat power was only five yesterday, how come it became five hundred and thirty thousand today?

Toyokawa Sho let out a click of his tongue.

He was already in a state of confusion and frustration, and seeing that a tiny mount dared to offend the might of the greatest demon under him, Tzeentch, he wanted to adjust the power of the Corridor of Life to 200% to teach this evil beast who is the real master.

at this time.

A cry of surprise suddenly came from behind.

Then all kinds of things were scattered all over the floor, and there was the sound of heavy cardboard boxes falling to the ground with a bang.

Toyokawa Sho looked back.

Behind him was a young girl wearing full makeup, a loose warm sweater and a small plaid skirt.

Her makeup is elegant and cute, not overly applied, just a simple everyday makeup, like the energetic little girl next door who wants to change herself after entering high school, or like a kitten that meows softly at her when she walks by the roadside.

The so-called beautiful girl next door, fresh and beautiful, this word should describe a girl like her. I am not stunning at first sight, I just think she is plain and pretty, but the more I look at her, the more I find her attractive, until I slowly fall in love with her.

There was a panic expression on her face because the big box she was holding fell to the ground. She bowed to the person who bumped into her, said "I'm very sorry" sincerely, and then squatted down to pick up the snacks that fell on the ground.

Fengchuan Xiang glanced at the man who bumped into the girl, not only did not apologize, but also cursed at her with some dirty words, and now even dared to raise his hand to threaten her. He glanced indifferently at Jueying next to him.

Jueying understood what he meant and immediately gave up his stubbornness. He followed Fengchuan Xiang's force and rammed the man's back.

bump--!

The man was killed on the spot by Jueying.

A man who neglects exercise and whose gait shows that he leads a dissolute life, naturally cannot be a match for the peerless divine horse that saved the Prime Minister from danger many times in the past.

"I'm so sorry, my bike slipped, could you help me?"

Toyokawa Sho shouted from behind.

"Help your mother! Are you sick?!"

The man was angry and got up from the ground, intending to slap Toyokawa Sho in the face.

Unfortunately, the man was just a useless person. He was also a big bag. On the continent thousands of miles away, there was a centenarian who was a heavenly master. His slaps were fast and fierce. He could shake off other people's upper elixir with just one palm and knock them down easily.

His palm strokes were visibly monotonous, his body's posture for exerting force was not standard, his forehand was not refined, his backhand was weak, his steps were loose, his reaction was slow, and not a single movement was decent.

Toyokawa Sho swayed his body and dodged the attack by moving to the side, then hooked the opponent's foot.

The man lost his balance and his lower body was loose, so he fell to the ground again, his chin hitting the ground first, with a very crisp sound.

This time the man really lost face.

Feeling the mocking gazes from the people around him, he gritted his teeth, turned his head and glared at Toyokawa Sho fiercely with a humiliated look, then got up from the ground cursing, lowered his head and sped away from the street.

Toyokawa Sho ignored him and when he left, he stopped looking at him as if he was looking at a bug and squatted down to help the dazed girl pick up the donuts and snacks that had fallen on the ground.

"Thank you,"

The girl's voice was very sweet, and more importantly, she had beautiful dimples on her face when she smiled. She shook her two little fists vigorously and said, "You helped me vent my anger!"

Toyokawa Sho didn't answer, but just silently helped the girl pick up the packaging bags that fell on the ground.

The girl didn't feel embarrassed because she didn't get a response. She still had a cheerful and energetic smile on her face, like a shining star. The two of them worked together and quickly put the things that fell on the ground back into the box.

Looking at the cardboard box that was inconvenient to carry, Toyokawa Sho walked into the convenience store.

He skillfully switches to a smile that is more sunny than a young girl, and his effective killing power is enough to cover all age groups of human beings, from old ladies in their seventies and eighties to little cuties who are just learning to speak. No one can escape this perfect smile that is comparable to [Beauty Boy EX].

"Excuse me, sister, can you lend me a stroller?"

Facing a convenience store clerk who was just watching the fun, Toyokawa Sho clasped his hands together and called her "sister" in a sweet and affectionate manner.

"It's really inconvenient for my friend to carry the box. Can you lend it to me? Don't worry, I will definitely return it to you later."

"Oh, why call me sister? I'm already forty-six."

The aunt seemed to be very impressed by this and her tone was full of embarrassment.

"Of course I should call you sister. You look only in your thirties and your skin is so well maintained. Calling you auntie would make you look so old!"

Toyokawa Sho continued to increase his offensive.

"Oh, look how sweet this kid's mouth is...!"

Auntie was captivated by the handsome young man. After showing off to her friends, she happily lent the cart to Toyokawa Sho, "Feel free to use it! I'll decide for you, even give it to you!"

"Thank you, sister, you are so kind,"

Toyokawa Sho smiled shyly, then pulled the cart and said, "I will definitely come here often in the future, sister."

outside the store.

The girl opened her mouth wide, covered her mouth with her small hands, and blinked her chestnut eyes in surprise and unexpectedness. Toyokawa Sho helped put the box on the cart and then said.

"Push the cart. You'll pay it back when the time comes."

"Wait a moment!"

Seeing Toyokawa Sho turning around to leave, the girl hurriedly called out to Toyokawa Sho and took out a bag of donuts with the opening tied with a colorful string from the box.

"If you don't mind, please take one bag before you leave. You don't look very happy. I made these donuts myself. I can guarantee that they taste delicious. At least let me take this as a thank you gift."

As she spoke, the girl actually imitated Toyokawa Sho's flawless smile and made an even cuter and sweeter smile, an idol-level smile that seemed to have a faint light shining behind it.

Her two fair and slender hands were still holding the donut gently. When she saw Toyokawa Sho looking at her, she tilted her head, narrowed her beautiful eyes, and smiled even more brilliantly.

"I appreciate your kindness, but I'm trying to lose weight recently and can't eat fried food."

In the end, Fengchuan Xiang didn't want it. He just nodded at her, then walked over to help the fallen Jueying up, sat on it, and rode away.

The girl looked at his back, then at the donut in her hand, and murmured with some regret, "This is really delicious... It would be a pity if I didn't have it."

Talk about it.

Blue hair, golden eyes, and a clean aura...

These elements are very similar to the very important friend Chuhua mentioned... Should I tell Chuhua about it later?

……

……

……

as predicted.

RiNG is not open yet at this point.

Looking at the performance hall in front of him with its door still locked, Fengchuan Xiang silently parked Jueying aside, then found a staircase, first touched it with his fingers to see if there was any dust, then sat down and put the guitar behind him on his legs.

Calculating the time, it should be around 8:30 now, and there is still an hour and a half before it opens at 10:00. I just need to sit and wait for an hour or two.

However, considering that Lixi might come to work early, strictly speaking, he only needs to wait for an hour.

It doesn’t seem like it was very long.

Very good, then just stare blankly.

Empty your mind, empty your thoughts.

Toyokawa Sho closed his eyes and quickly calmed down his heart, which had almost no negative emotions. He placed his elbow on his thigh, supporting half of his cheek, and silently watched the hustle and bustle of traffic and the various pedestrians in front of him.

It was as if time had been tripled in speed, or the progress bar below had been dragged. The scene before my eyes flashed by until a familiar figure rushed in.

It was the donut lady I met in front of the convenience store.

The donut lady pulled a cart and gave a bag of snacks or candies to everyone she met. From time to time, she would make full use of her outstanding appearance and invite passers-by whose eyes were glued to her to take photos together. Then she would take out the small sign she had placed in the box, and move her pink lips slightly, as if to say, "Welcome to follow my account."

Toyokawa Sho came back to his senses and watched the donut lady happily giving her brightest smile to everyone who passed by.

Although we were separated by a street, at least a hundred meters away, she felt like a star walking down from the night sky. Even though we were thousands of miles apart, I could still see the twinkling stars on her body.

The more he looked, the tighter his brows furrowed. Why did it feel like this person was walking towards him?

So he moved himself to the corner, lowered his head and picked up stones according to the radio wave theory that Deng had told him.

After a while, I looked up to see if the donut lady had left, and she was right in front of me, and our eyes met.

The donut lady recognized him almost instantly.

Then she waved her little hands across the street, and from time to time she would raise her two feet in white sneakers and wave the donuts in the bag in her hands to greet me.

Toyokawa Sho looked away.

He is not very familiar with this person.

Trying to show that you have a very thick wall in your heart by turning your head and looking away, which is clearly an action that shows you don't want to have further communication, and ask you to back off and not challenge me again.

However, the donut lady seemed to have insulated claws that could tear apart the heart's force field with her bare hands. Even in the face of such deliberate neglect, she still responded with a clean and neat smile.

She crossed the street and walked up to Toyokawa Sho with ease.

"Hello, we meet again."

"…What do you want from me?"

Toyokawa Sho had no way to avoid it. The other person had already come here, and if he still ignored him, it would seem like he had no manners. So he raised his eyes and looked at the other person, with a little fatigue in his eyes.

"Just came to say hello,"

The donut lady pointed to the seat next to her. "Can I sit here for a while?"

"Please."

"Thanks--"

The donut lady gently covered the hem of her skirt, and had a good sense of distance and measure. They sat at an arm's length from each other. This position was neither far nor close. To describe it, it was like they were just outside the social distance of each other. The sense of distance was perfectly grasped.

If someone else performed this kind of sophisticated operation, it might give people the impression that this person is very sociable.

But in the case of the Donut Lady, you feel that she can perform such operations not because she is very sociable, but because she has a good intuition and can intuitively feel the distance between herself and others, so she can grasp the sense of distance so just right.

"Do you work at this LiveHouse?"

“Well, I’m their barista here.”

"Eh? A barista? You look about the same age as me, and you have a regular job so soon. That's amazing."

The donut lady swayed her long legs slightly. The light was very bright today, and it seemed as if it was outlining the light and shadow on her legs. The girl's pink and tender knees, and the pair of large white sneakers that matched her outfit very well. Sitting with her, it felt like talking to the most beautiful girl in the class.

"But why are you carrying a guitar? If you're just a barista, you don't need to carry a guitar, right?"

"I don't know about other shops, but in our boss's shop, even cleaners have to play a musical instrument before they can work under her."

Toyokawa Sho turned his head to look at her.

"Although the conditions are very demanding, the boss offers good compensation. Are you interested in quitting your idol job and coming here to settle down? If the boss likes you, with her connections and resources, it would be easy to make you famous. At least it's more reliable than most unscrupulous idols."
