The counterattack system arrived 20 years earlier, and the sister next door originally wanted to cul

In her opinion, the other party could recognize her identity at a glance.

And I feel so familiar with the band that I once cherished so much.

How could she not know that Hideko had passed away long ago?

Love on May 7th only felt anger.

Future Wakaba tried to hide behind Sayuri Akatsuka to avoid May 7th's gaze, but her movements revealed a hint of fear. Sayuri Akatsuka stood firmly in front of Future Wakaba, "Please calm down a bit."

"Ruoye...she definitely didn't mean to open up your scars."

The pair of cold eyes of Love in May 7th were fixed on Sayuri Akatsuka, and he looked at the future Aunt Wakaba who was showing a timid and apologetic look behind Sayuri Akatsuka.

Looking at the woman's beautiful face full of apology and uneasiness, the lady gradually believed that she really didn't mean it.

She sat down slowly and apologized to Aunt Wakaba from the future line.

"Feel sorry..."

"Because of Hideko."

"I was just too excited."

Wakaba Takanashi learned that the dead girl was Horie Hideko.

Exactly what she expected.

Among the three members of "Voice of Muse", it seems that the real problem girl should be the gloomy Asuka Takeda.

However, Takanashi Wakaba had already been in contact with May 7th Love before, and learned that Takeda Asuka had discussed the idea of disbanding the band with May 7th Love before.

The girl who looks gloomy actually has her own opinions and ideas.

If it wasn't an accident, the person who died would definitely not be Takeda Asuka.

So...it's obvious who the dead person is.

The optimistic, cheerful and positive backbone of the band may just look so sunny.

Her family is poor, and playing in a band may be her only interest, hobby and support.

It seems that Horie Hideko brought together the dreamy sponsor May 7th Love and the gloomy girl Takeda Asuka to form the "Voice of Muse".

She is the glue and backbone of the team.

But in fact...May 7th Love and Takeda Asuka might have already become the support for her to continue living.

After the band disbanded, Horie Hideko's faith collapsed instantly after she lost her support.

Then... I was so overwhelmed that there was no one around to persuade and stop me.

It seems normal for accidents to happen.

The girl who looks the most normal and sunny may be the one with the biggest psychological problems.

Takanashi Wakaba sighed in her heart.

Taking on the task gives me one more reason to perform on stage with "Muse Voice" this weekend.

She claimed that she was not some saint.

But...if there is someone in darkness and despair, and you happen to be able to lend a helping hand.

No matter how difficult and arduous it is, Takanashi Wakaba will never hesitate.

Just like——

Even though she was so embarrassed and introverted at the time, she still chose to rescue Terajima Shino who was being coerced by a bad person.

Regardless of whether the system is obtained or not, regardless of whether the time traveler's memory is awakened or not.

This is Wakaba Takanashi.

At the future Aunt Wakaba's place, the future beautiful woman Wakaba Takanashi was afraid of the gaze of Love on May 7th, but the woman's left hand slowly covered her chest, and she could feel her heart beating beneath her chest.

"Look at it—"

"You must be...watching."

Recalling the information about the past of the noble lady in front of him that suddenly popped into his mind.

Aunt Wakaba from the future line knows her past self.

The self who didn't yet have so many regrets was definitely... watching.

In that case—

"terribly sorry..."

"I really don't know what happened back then." Aunt Ruoye from the Future Line had a sad look on her face.

She doesn't need any acting skills to empathize with the grief of the passing of a young life.

It is precisely because she is so sensitive that she is easily hurt.

Also...after being hurt again and again, he gradually curled up and became more and more timid and introverted.

But this time, she had to take the initiative.

Because she believed—

"Can you..."

"Save her, right?"

"My past self."

"Another me."

"..."

Aunt Wakaba from the Future Line took the initiative to attack, and the lady from May 7th Love saw the genuine grief on Aunt Wakaba's face, and began to speak with some sadness.

"This has nothing to do with you."

You learned the news of Horie Hideko's death from May 7th Love.

【Not long after the final farewell performance. 】

【Hideko Horie chose to commit suicide by jumping into the sea. 】

While sorting through Horie Hideko's belongings, May 7th Love finally realized how much pressure this seemingly sunny and cheerful girl was carrying inside.

The band has always been her last resort.

[And she...they...destroyed Horie Hideko's last resort with their own hands.]

After the band disbanded, Horie Hideko was admitted to a prestigious university and passed the entrance exam, but she was unable to pay the tuition.

She couldn't even afford the interest-free student loan.

She had no choice but to work part-time to pay for her studies.

【Working two jobs while studying.】

[Six months later...the worsening of her mother's condition became the final straw that broke the camel's back for Horie Hideko.]

【…】

【You comforted May 7th Love.】

【May 7th Love is happy that Yu Xiuzi still has a fan like you.】

【exactly--】

[Today is the day she and Takeda Asuka agreed to meet Hideko.]

【They are going to visit Horie Hideko's grave.】

【May 7th Love invites you to join us. 】

[Quest Requirements: Together with May 7th Love, meet Takeda Asuka and 'visit' Horie Hideko.]

[Mission reward: 100,000 yen.]

[Task Reward: Mastering Elementary Music Theory.]

【…】

Wakaba Takanashi was a little confused.

It seems that what broke Horie Hideko was not only the breakup of the band, but also the financial pressure.

The other party was not as fragile as she thought.

But...even if Horie Hideko couldn't borrow money from her friends, she might not be able to pay it back for a long, long time.

Doesn't Love in May 7th say that... a prestigious voice acting agency was attracted by Horie Hideko's voice and decided that she was the only one they wanted?

How did Horie Hideko end up in a situation where she had to work two extra jobs while studying?

Gather the doubts in your heart.

I sensed Aunt Ruoye's expectations of me in the future.

Takanashi Wakaba looked up at May 7th Love in front of her, and in the face of May 7th Love's confused gaze, she wantonly kneaded the girl's soft and elastic face.

She was taking revenge on May 7th Love for licking her palm and... for daring to scare her in the future.

"Ouch!!!" The girl looked pitiful in pain.

But... I don't hate it.

"Wakaba... classmate?"

Volume 219: Part I'll jump up and kick your knee! []

He rubbed his face.

May 7th Love's expression was a little confused.

She didn't know what she had done wrong to make Takanashi Wakaba directly "punish" her.

You probably wouldn't have thought of it no matter how hard you try.

This is because at that moment, my future self brought upon myself an unexpected disaster.

But... not annoying.

Wakaba Takanashi is very measured in her actions.

It is called ravaging, but in fact it is almost the same as massage.

His face seemed to still carry the fragrance of the girl's fingertips. He couldn't help but wonder if this was just the way ordinary girls expressed intimacy with their friends.

She has few friends.

Before transferring to Tsuchiya Private School, the only friends she had were Horie Hideko and Takeda Asuka.

At most...plus her personal maid, May 7th Misaki, who has served her since she was a child and grew up with her.

But whether it is Horie Hideko, Takeda Asuka, or May 7th Misaki, none of them are the type to express intimacy and love directly.

She thought she had made Ruoye wait too long. Anyway—

How could such a lovely classmate like Wakaba be at fault?

"The reason why I didn't ask Misaki-san to pick me up..."

"Actually, I wanted to take care of Hideko's feelings." May 7th Love and Takanashi Wakaba stood together, both holding onto the same pillar.

When the car occasionally bumps around, the lower edge of my palm will touch Wakaba's hand.

May 7th Love took a deep breath, "Although Hideko and Asuka actually know my family background."

"but..."

"Since we are friends, we must learn to take care of our friends' feelings."

"..."

This is the lesson that Love in May 7th learned from comics.

She has few friends.

So she tried very hard to maintain this difficult friendship.
