Driven by desire, and to Ruoye Mutsu's stunned gaze, Ichinose Wakaba covered the girl who was about to cry for help.

Now, the simulation failure can no longer stop him. For Ichinose Wakaba, the worst that can happen is that she can just restart.

Besides, isn't the point of playing games to have fun?

Moreover, these are all system tasks.

The girl's body trembled from the sudden event, and her brain, dazed from lack of oxygen, tried to control her body to push away the person in front of her.

However, the increasingly crowded embrace made it impossible for Ruoye Mu to break free; she could only feel the thick scent filling her entire body.

A second expression of pain appeared on Ruoye Mu's doll-like face.

This was resolved way too quickly; the pacing of this drama is terrible, this episode wasn't even funny, though the song was nice. Also, that damn auntie said she really came... mmp!

However, for me, this is a good opportunity to write some melodramatic plot, since the anime also did it ().

I hate the character Big Cat even more.

Can I say that Xiangzi twisted his body really well?

The way he looked at Hatsune Miku during that process was terrifying.

The only thing that really bothered me after watching this episode was the character of Mutsumi. In the first season of Mygo, her taciturn nature led her to say the wrong thing and then blame herself. You can imagine how much I felt for this character when I saw the scene of Mutsumi, the hen, getting soaked in the rain.

Although I felt a bit uneasy when the character Mortis appeared later, as part of the group Wakaba Mutsumi, I didn't dislike her that much, and was even a little excited because of her girlish personality.

Later on, Mortis's performance deteriorated a bit, but I still didn't hate him enough to want to kill the character.

If, as the spoilers say, this episode features two personalities and a unique one, then all I can say is "nmsl" (a vulgar expression of disbelief).

What's the difference between this and killing two people?!

Damn it!!!

mmp! ! !

What a waste of such a great character!

凸(艹皿艹)!!!!

Chapter 14 This is our secret

The afternoon sun streamed into the classroom through the curtains, filling the air with the scent of books and sheet music, as well as the strong smell of cucumber, a natural air freshener.

Ichinose Wakaba sat at the piano, wearing a simple suit with a slightly loose tie. For some reason, the first and second buttons were not fastened. Her slightly tired face was filled with focus and composure.

His fingertips lightly touched the piano keys, and as he took a deep breath, the music flowed out slowly. The elegant melody echoed in the empty classroom, and he exuded a tranquil and focused aura.

As Ichinose Wakaba gradually got into the zone, her fingertips danced rapidly across the piano keys, and like the best conductor, the notes moved in her hands.

It was as if every musical movement was vividly brought to life under the man's fingertips.

"Start from here, do it again, and pay attention to the rhythm."

Ichinose Wakaba's voice was deep and gentle, with a faint magnetism that seemed to penetrate the air of the entire classroom, gently plucking at Toyokawa Shoko's heartstrings. His fingertips traced the last note on the piano, and before the lingering sound had faded, the entire classroom fell into silence.

However, the lingering notes of the music echoed in the girl's ears, telling of her unfinished emotions.

As the song ended, Ichinose Wakaba slowly opened her eyes. The crimson musical notes allowed her to perfectly play any piece of music without being disturbed by the outside world.

But then his gaze swept over the student sitting to the side and the liquid on the piano—!!!

There was no joy or satisfaction in Ichinose Wakaba's eyes, only a hint of barely concealed embarrassment. Unable to hide his emotions immediately, he could only put on a poker face.

Fortunately, due to her exhaustion last night, Ichinose Wakaba's hidden wavering was not discovered by the girl who admired her.

Shoko Toyokawa was suddenly jolted awake from the dreamlike sea of ​​music. Her emotions, which had been stirred by the music, were instantly filled with confusion and unease upon seeing Wakaba Ichinose's tired face.

There wasn't a trace of a smile on the man's face; his cold expression made him look completely different from his passionate and emotional performance just moments before.

It was as if the performance just now had exhausted all of Ichinose Wakaba's emotions.

In Toyokawa Shoko's eyes, Ichinose Wakaba, who was always full of patience and gentleness, seemed so unfamiliar and distant at this moment.

Her fingertips clenched the hem of her clothes slightly, and the blue-haired girl felt a pang of pain in her heart—did she feel that I was disturbing her?

Instinctively, Toyokawa Shoko reached out to touch Ichinose Wakaba's face. An inexplicable sense of familiarity made her gaze fixed solely on her.

[Ugh, Wakaba-kun's clothes.]

The collarbone peeking out from under her unbuttoned clothes made Toyokawa Shoko blush and instinctively lower her head, her eyes fixed on the table.

Previously, as the heir of the Toyokawa family's fourth branch, Toyokawa Shoko immediately visited Ichinose Wakaba, an internationally renowned pianist, after learning that she had joined the Tsukimori Academy where she worked.

As a student of the piano, from the day Toyokawa Shoko began learning the instrument, the name Ichinose Wakaba was always on her mind.

As a child, Toyokawa Shoko had heard the other person perform with her parents at her birthday party, when the other person was invited by her grandfather to perform.

That day, the power and emotion contained in the melody played by Ichinose Wakaba deeply attracted Toyokawa Shoko. That calm yet surging energy seemed to penetrate every string and strike the depths of her heart.

Even though Toyokawa Shoko's family background meant she had already met countless top musicians, the music of Ichinose Wakaba brought the blue-haired girl a unique and unparalleled feeling.

Just like Eve and Adam longed for the apple in the Garden of Eden.

That inexplicable sense of familiarity made Toyokawa Shoko want to understand the other person.

From that time on, the girl began to listen to Ichinose Wakaba's music often, carefully appreciating the emotional changes in each piece.

A new CD has been released?

Mom will buy it for me!

New merchandise has been released?

Dad loves you the most!

A new piano performance?

Grandpa, you absolutely have to get me a ticket!

Sitting in her seat at the piano gallery, Toyokawa Shoko's gaze was fixed on Ichinose Wakaba. Every time a note danced across the piano, the girl's eyes followed its movement.

It was as if the other person's piano music had a magic touch, making Toyokawa Shoko unable to extricate herself—wanting to know more about him!

When Toyokawa Shoko learned that Ichinose Wakaba had injured her hand in an accident, her heart sank instantly.

Especially when she learned that his right hand was injured and even the most basic performance was a luxury, the sudden heartache made the girl almost breathless.

Toyokawa Shoko couldn't imagine that the man whose fingers once danced across the piano could no longer touch those familiar keys. It was a scene she had never imagined, but Toyokawa Shoko knew that feeling must be terrible.

At that moment, the girl's whole world dimmed—what if I can never hear Ichinose-kun's performance again?

His skills are a treasure of this world!

If Ichinose Wakaba could never play the piano again, Toyokawa Shoko felt it would be a loss to the world, and she also felt a sudden, inexplicable heartache.

So, while secretly loathing the person who had hurt Ichinose Wakaba, Toyokawa Shoko prayed.

I hope that, like Beethoven, the other person can bravely overcome fate and perform again even after losing their hearing.

Then, Toyokawa Shoko learned that the other party was going to become the music teacher at her Tsukikomori Girls' Academy.

On Monday morning, after learning from the school's broadcast that Ichinose Wakaba had become a music professor at Tsukimori Girls' Academy, Toyokawa Shoko felt an overwhelming mix of excitement and anxiety.

She sat in the classroom, but her eyes were no longer on the teacher in front of her. Toyokawa Shoko stared fixedly out the window, her thoughts already drifting to the other side of the academy.

I want to see him.

For some reason, this thought arose in Toyokawa Shoko's mind. And once this thought arose, it took root and spread rapidly in Toyokawa Shoko's heart, growing stronger and stronger, like a tree sprouting.

That inexplicable heartache and concern was no longer a fleeting emotion. Although she didn't understand where this feeling came from, it had already taken root deep in her soul like the roots of a tree, and could not be easily uprooted.

Toyokawa Shoko knew that she had to see him, even if only for a brief moment.

Ignoring her ladylike manners and upbringing, Toyokawa Shoko raised her hand to signal to the teacher that she wasn't feeling well, and for the first time in her life, she started running down the school corridor.

Her heart was pounding, the wind was whistling in her ears, and at this moment the girl was racing against time.

Shoko Toyokawa couldn't bear the anxiety of not seeing him. She couldn't wait any longer, even if it was just a second sooner or a moment later. She wanted to tell him in person, "Don't give up!"

Shoko Toyokawa, who was captivated by Wakaba Ichinose's skills, hoped that her words could ignite a spark of light in Wakaba's heart.

I hope that Ichinose Wakaba can feel that my words can help him out of the darkness and his predicament.

Only when she was panting heavily, her clothes soaked with sweat, did she find Ichinose Wakaba: "I...I really like...Ichinose-kun, your music. So, please don't give up!"

Lacking any elegance, the disheveled young lady stammered as she tried to say what she wanted to say. Her cheeks were slightly flushed from running, and her eyes shone with urgency and tension.

The girl's breathing was heavy, and her body was almost swaying, but the intense desire in her heart made her unable to stop herself from moving forward.

Perhaps this will be the beginning of a romance.

The strict young lady thought of the shoujo manga that her classmates were secretly reading, and the blush-inducing scenes made Toyokawa Shoko blush.

There were so many more things I wanted to say, but I couldn't say them because of the embarrassing thoughts I had just had.

Shoko Toyokawa could only lower her head and bite her lip in shame.

"Thank you, Ms. Toyokawa."

The simple response, though understated, warmed Toyokawa Shoko's heart.

The sound of the piano playing again, in particular, thrilled Toyokawa Shoko.

That familiar melody, like some invisible force, instantly calmed her down.

The girl's eyes lit up instantly, her gaze involuntarily following the rise and fall of the musical notes, each note stirring ripples in Toyokawa Shoko's heart.

Especially Ichinose Wakaba's next line—"This is a secret between you and me."

Yes, Mutsumi's storyline is inspired by The Cursed Girl from the Mirror of Kaleidoscope. When I first saw Mutsumi, I didn't connect her with Kirie; I just thought her doll-like character was very appealing.

When I was thinking about writing a book, especially after Xiangzi said, "He's really high and mighty."

Suddenly I realized that Mu is perfect for this kind of storyline. He can't speak and he's aloof? Then I'll drag you down from heaven to earth.

Chapter 15 I Need You

"What exactly is causing Professor Ichinose's exhaustion...?"

Toyokawa Shoko muttered to herself, her eyes filled with doubt and confusion. The blue-haired young lady was trying to unravel the mystery hidden deep in Ichinose Wakaba's heart.

Emerging from the music classroom that belonged exclusively to Ichinose Wakaba, the strong cucumber-scented air freshener filling her nostrils gave the girl a thoughtful expression.

Her steps were slightly slow, the scene of the campus in front of her seemed to become blurry, and all the sounds seemed to drift away from the blue-haired young lady.

Today is the day of Toyokawa Shoko and Ichinose Wakaba's secret lesson.

As a secret between you and me, and as a request to keep it confidential, Ichinose Wakaba agreed to teach Toyokawa Sho to play the piano.

And so, after that, a blue voice was added to the music classroom that belonged exclusively to Ichinose Wakaba.

As always, Toyokawa Shoko looked forward to spending time alone with her friend. However, when she arrived at the music classroom today, she did not go straight in as usual, but waited outside for a while—"Sorry, Toyokawa-kun, wait for me."

It was for this reason that Shoko Toyokawa noticed something was off about her teacher when she saw Wakaba Ichinose push open the door.

Although she is usually quiet and reserved, Ichinose Wakaba's face today showed an undeniable weariness.

"Professor Ichinose, did you not get enough rest last night?"

"Yeah, I went to bed a little late last night."

Seeing this, Toyokawa Shoko said worriedly, "Professor Ichinose, how about we call off today's practice?"

Although she said she would let it go, Toyokawa Shoko did not leave, but walked into the music room, under the watchful gaze of Ichinose Wakaba who secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Professor Ichinose, let me make you some tea."

The young woman, educated in aristocratic circles, was very confident in her tea-making skills and hoped to help her teacher relax through this method.

But he was rejected. Ichinose Wakaba stopped the girl who wanted to enter his bedroom by saying that she was fine and would continue teaching. He then led Toyokawa Shoko, whose heart was pounding after her hand was touched, to sit down at the piano.

After that, the two began teaching each other until the end.

"Professor Ichinose must be troubled by something."

Even after leaving the music classroom, Toyokawa Shoko still heard the slightly tired look in Ichinose Wakaba's eyes and the somewhat heavy piano music echoing in her mind.

In this music lesson, because of the red color of the music, Ichinose Wakaba played out her inner weariness and a trace of trouble.

Noticing this, Toyokawa Shoko asked the question: "If there is anything I can help you with, please let me know."

However, as hush money for promising to teach her piano in exchange for my ability to play the piano (which I can already do), Toyokawa Shoko felt she was being too cunning—it was completely unequal.

"I want to help Professor Ichinose more."

As the heiress of the Toyokawa Group, Shoko Toyokawa received a different kind of education from her mother and father than other conglomerates. For example, the Shinomiya Group followed a survival-of-the-fittest approach to educating its children.
