MyGO? The string value monster craves the band girl!

Chapter 131 I am here to announce something

On a rainy night, two girls with golden eyes and a Maybach in the parking lot.

Xian Juanwei handed the folded umbrella to the man in black beside him, feeling that the current situation was inexplicably familiar.

Leading Toyokawa Shoko and Wakaba Mutsu all the way to the morgue where Suyo's father was, Genmaki Wei pushed open the door and looked at the back of Nagasaki Suyo, whose figure was wrapped in Tsuki no Mori's school uniform.

Nagasaki Suyo still maintained the same posture as when Genmaki Yui left, with her hands behind her back and her arms grasped, as if she had been standing silently in the original position for a long time.

"Classmate Su Shi, I'm back..."

Genmaki Yui looked at Toyokawa Shoko who was following behind her with her eyes still fixed on the ground, and said to Nagasaki Suyo.

"Mr. Wei..."

Hearing the boy's voice, Nagasaki Suyo loosened her grip on her arm and turned around as if she had received a command to reactivate.

A slight glimmer of joy flashed across Su Shi's eyes, but was replaced by shock and astonishment when she saw another figure standing behind Xianjuan Wei at the door.

"Xiao...Xiaoxiang?!"

Ruoye Mu, who was peeking out as cautiously as a cucumber, only showed half of his body outside the door. After hearing Su Shi's voice, it was as if a long-lost memory was activated. His heart seemed to be suddenly grabbed, and he took two steps back in fear.

"..."

Shoko Toyokawa had been staring at the ground, but after Su Shi called out her name, she could no longer pretend to be an ostrich. She raised her head nervously and anxiously, looking at the figure in front of the coffin that she had been avoiding for a year.

"Today... I came to talk about something."

"Eh?!"

In the outdoor corridor outside the funeral home, drizzle occasionally falls into the corridor due to the wind direction.

The three women and one man, Qi Lingba Wu Luba's wife Qi, were leaning against a pillar in the corridor. When they raised their eyes, they could see the figures of the other three.

【Xiangzi-Mu】

【】

【Sushi-Wei】

"From the time my father was deceived and resigned, to the day I left crychic... everything that happened was basically as I just described."

After telling Nagasaki Suyo about the past that she had tried so hard to hide, Toyokawa Shoko leaned her back against the pillar, looked up at the dark sky, and felt the cool touch of the fine raindrops that occasionally fell on her shoulders.

"The night I quit crychic... the weather was also like this." There was a hint of complexity in Toyokawa Shoko's tone.

"Although it's a little late to say this now...I'm sorry, Su Shi."

"I'm sorry about your father's affairs. But other than apologizing to you, I don't know what else I can do for you right now."

Nagasaki Suyo slowly shook her head and shifted her gaze from the night sky where few stars could be seen to her former teammates, whose faces she hadn't seen in a long time.

After a moment of silence, Nagasaki Suyo sighed softly:

"Xiao Xiang really can't grasp the key point."

"This isn't Xiaoxiang's fault. Even if we want to share the blame, we can only go to Xiaoxiang's father, right? No matter what, how can we blame Xiaoxiang? You've never done anything wrong when it comes to my father."

"The only time I felt sad was when Xiaoxiang left crychic."

Her eyes casually swept over Wakaba Mutsu, who lowered his head, and Nagasaki Suyo, with her hands behind her back, said slowly:

"Xiao Xiang must be having some trouble. That's what I suspected during the time you were always absent from practice."

"So, what makes me sadder than Xiaoxiang's outburst that night is that he has been avoiding me since then."

"And...why did Xiaoxiang treat Xiaodeng like that that day? Obviously, Xiaoxiang used to like Xiaodeng, right?"

Toyokawa Shoko frowned, turned her head away with some sadness, closed her eyes and recalled for a moment, then replied in a heavy tone:

"I didn't want that."

"I just don't have the time or qualifications to play in a band with everyone anymore."

"I, too, struggled for a long time before making this decision. I hope to just announce the news calmly and then break up peacefully."

"When Deng asked me that, actually... I was a little hesitant, but Li Xi questioned me like that at that time."

"Now, Sushi, you know that Toyokawa Shoko can no longer be so elegant and calm. When someone hurts her, she will just talk nonsense."

"But..." Su Shi whispered.

Looking at Toyokawa Shoko, whose expression also revealed the torment in her heart, Su Shi said in confusion:

"Even if Li Xi said something that didn't quite fit the mood...why did Xiao Xiang reserve the most hurtful words for Xiao Deng?"

"Xiao Deng felt very guilty after you left. She always thought that her poor singing caused the disbandment of crychic. She was the first one to skip practice after you."

Shoko Toyokawa's eyes widened slightly, and the struggle in her eyes almost overflowed.

"I'm also sorry Deng..."

"If there's a chance, Xiaoxiang should tell Xiaodeng this in person."

Su Shi sighed and leaned back against the pillar behind him.

"Why is it so hard for us to express the real reason? We share a common destiny..."

"Even if I told you, what's the point... Is it just a waste of your worry? 168 billion is not something that can be solved by high school students working together..."

Seeing his friend struggling and feeling sad, Su Shi turned his gaze away and looked towards the night sky:

"Actually, there probably was a better way, right? At least Xiaodeng shouldn't have been so obsessed with the idea that her lack of practice caused Xiaoxiang to quit the team that she couldn't get over it."

"I... I already told you back then that quitting crychic was my own fault and has nothing to do with you."

"But what Xiaoxiang said to Deng next made everyone think that was your true feelings."

"Even if I explain to Deng and Li Xi... Crychic can't come back."

After saying that, Toyokawa Shoko raised her heel and kicked the stone pillar behind her with her small leather shoes, feeling the headache caused by her mixed emotions coming up again.

"Actually, I wanted to escape again. I've done this many times."

Looking up at Yui Genmaki, who had dragged her here by force, Toyokawa Shoko pinched the ends of her hair with her fingers and said:

"But...after all, someone died."

"I don't blame Xiaoxiang for this. I've already said it before, right? How can a daughter pay for her father's debt?"

"No, I will make up for my father's mistakes... Otherwise, what is the point of everything I have done so far?"

Xianjuan Wei, who had been listening, interrupted at this moment:

"Actually, that's what I wanted to ask as well. Xiangzi, you ran away from the Toyokawa family to take care of your father and worked for a whole year. What exactly did you hope to achieve in the end?"

"In other words, there must be an ultimate goal that, once achieved, allows us to return to our previous lives, right?"

Toyokawa Shoko said subconsciously:

"What I want... is, of course, for my father to regain the recognition of my grandfather and others, and return to the Toyokawa family with me!"

Xianjuan Wei tapped his arm with his fingers, thought for a moment under the gaze of the three girls, and shook his head.

"You actually have two goals, right?"

Chapter 132 Are you willing to reconcile with me?

"Why do you say that?"

Listening to Toyokawa Shoko's question, Xianjuan Wei subconsciously glanced at Wakaba Mu, organized his words, raised his hand and said:

"Getting your father recognized and bringing your father back to the Toyokawa family are two things that don't necessarily have to happen at the same time."

"Let me give you an example... If Xiangzi asks Xin for help, and Xin also thinks that what your grandfather did was too extreme and asks me to do you a favor, then let alone bringing your father back to the Toyokawa family, even letting your father take your grandfather's place is possible. However, this will not improve your father's reputation. At best, others will maintain superficial respect for him and call him the lucky bastard who hitched a ride with their daughter."

Toyokawa Shoko shook her head repeatedly:

"This is my own business. I've already caused enough trouble for Xianjuan-kun, so I have no reason to trouble you any more. As for asking Xiangxin for help... it's too despicable to take advantage of our friendship like this. We are just friends."

Xian Juanwei nodded slightly with a calm expression.

It seems that Xiangzi has not been so fed up with her situation that she is eager to change the status quo, and still wants to maintain her self-esteem - otherwise, since she can say "Chuhua, let me forget everything", then Xianjuan Wei would not be too surprised if she said "Xin, please save me" when she is desperate.

"On the other hand, even if your grandfather didn't agree to take your father back to the Toyokawa family, as long as he picked himself up, started a new business, and was successful, this kind of prodigal son who made a comeback would still be recognized by others."

Toyokawa Shoko closed her eyes somewhat wearily, sighed bitterly, and said after a long pause:

"I've tried so hard to cheer him up, but he's still the same."

Ruoye Mu lowered his head and whispered:

"Very depressed, no matter how Xiang tries to persuade me, it's useless."

The last time Wakaba Mutsu and Toyokawa Shoko went to the rental house in Akabane together, he saw with his own eyes that after Shoko finished cleaning, Toyokawa Kiyoshi asked her to take out the trash and buy two boxes of beer.

What's even more unbearable is that after taking out the trash, Xiangzi actually carried two boxes of beer upstairs, cursing "bastard dad" and put the beer boxes heavily on the ground - without even dropping them.

Mingming said before leaving, "I will never give him money to buy alcohol again", but when she found out that Uncle Qing didn't need Xiang to pay, she hesitated for a while and finally chose to indulge herself.

"I will handle my family's affairs myself, so there's no need for you and Su Shi to worry about it."

Shoko Toyokawa stretched her hand out into the corridor, letting the fine raindrops fall on her palm, using the strange touch to calm herself down.

Nagasaki Suyo looked at the clock hanging at the end of the corridor where it connected to the main body of the funeral home and said softly:

"I didn't expect to talk so much with Xiaoxiang again in a place like this..."

"It's raining here at night, and not only is it a little cold, it's also a little eerie."

"Everyone, are you afraid of ghosts?"

Wakaba Mu glanced at Xianjuan Wei's profile and shook his head slightly.

The first night she spent with Xianjuanwei, they kept playing horror movies as background music until Xianjuanwei found a reason to turn off the volume.

Xian Juanwei spread his hands and said, "The ghosts I know are all easy to talk to."

Toyokawa Shoko and Nagasaki Motoyo both laughed out loud.

Toyokawa Shoko pursed her lips and shook her head.

"If there were ghosts... I could see my mother again."

"Yeah..." Nagasaki Suyo said leisurely, with an ambiguous look in her eyes.

With his hands behind his back, he turned around and said in a low voice:

"It's an unexpected surprise to meet Xiaoxiang today."

"It's getting late, everyone, please go home as soon as possible. I'm going to take one last look at my father."

Toyokawa Shoko looked at Nagasaki Suyo who was walking towards the side door of the funeral home, raised her hand and called out urgently:

"Sushi!"

"Ok?"

"Would you like to reconcile with me?"

Nagasaki Suyo turned her head and looked at Toyokawa Shoko's face, which seemed to be overlapping with the most beautiful appearance in her memory, and pursed her lips.

After a while, Nagasaki Suyo looked at the corridor in front of her again.

"We are sure that we can no longer go back to the way things were before."

"Even if Xiaoxiang, Xiaomu, and I were to sit together again, we wouldn't be able to just happily play music like before."

"I will remember the precious memories of you for the rest of my life, Xiaoxiang. But we will never get back together. At most, we can just start over... The angel-like Xiaoxiang who saved me will never appear again outside of my memories."

"Sushi..." Toyokawa Shoko slowly put down her hand, lowered her head and muttered.

"Thank you very much for today, Wei. Whether it's about my father or Xiaoxiang."

Nagasaki Suyo bowed deeply to Genmaki Yui, then walked towards the morgue without looking back.

Xianjuan Wei looked at Toyokawa Shoko, whose breathing gradually became heavier, closed her eyes, frowned, and touched her chest. She walked behind her and said calmly:

"Just ignore that father who has been betraying your efforts, go back to the Fengchuan family, and you can be the angelic Xiaoxiang again."

Toyokawa Shoko shook her head, feeling the strain on her heart, and closed her eyes tightly.

"How can someone who abandons his own father be considered an angel? Am I still Toyokawa Shoko?"

"Well, I always respect the fate of others."

He raised his arm and waved, and soon a man in black came in front of Xianjuan Wei and waited for his orders.
