Upon receiving the newly bound white book, Toyokawa Shoko was astonished by the title "Dream of the Stars" and the author, Mutsumi Ruoba.
After all, the last time she created a work with her childhood sweetheart was when she was 5 years old.
"Written during this period of time."
"Every word is worth a thousand pieces of gold," Ruoye Mutsumi explained the origin of the book. Then, under her gaze, Ichinose Wakaba unexpectedly accepted the book.
It's like I have that too? Then, when the other person saw the name Ruoye Mutsu, they seemed to suddenly remember something and looked surprised—Ruoye Mutsu? Is that Ruoye Mutsu?
"Yes, Erii, Mutsumi's previous work was Neko Neko."
Toyokawa Shoko then introduced Ichinose Wakaba to her childhood friend's achievements one by one.
【Holy shit!!!】
When I saw the book in my hand, Ichinose Wakaba initially held onto a sliver of hope when she first saw the name – perhaps it was just someone with the same name.
As a result, after seeing the beginning of the book: I'm doomed!!!
Seeing the exact same work as yesterday in the electronic reading room made Ichinose Wakaba feel like she was about to faint—this was an open conspiracy!
If a normal person's work is stolen, what would that person do?
Needless to say, they will definitely go after the person who stole their work.
As for whether he was bribed or something else afterward, that's a matter for later.
But what if the person whose identity was stolen doesn't go after the thief?
Ichinose Wakaba couldn't think of any other reason besides having a guilty conscience.
wrong!
And they even pretended to be scared!
Her mind raced as Ichinose Wakaba considered a plan. For example, could she act fearful when she went to see Ruoba Mutsumi afterward: "I'm afraid to go. Your parents are famous entertainers, big shots. I'm afraid of dying."
Oh, right, I'll be taking my work to the publishing house later!
No, going to the publishing house is too slow!
Yes, I published my work directly online!
Just as Ichinose Wakaba was refining her plan in her mind, Ruoba Mutsumi spoke up again from across the room.
"Xiangzi, I've finished the music."
Perhaps because of her shared soul with Ichinose Wakaba, after being asked by Toyokawa Shoko, Ruoba Mutsumi quickly completed the guitar accompaniment for "Silent Night" based on her familiarity with the song.
So, amidst Toyokawa Shoko's delighted expression and Ichinose Wakaba's bewildered gaze...
Ruo Ye Mu played her own song on her phone.
This scene was finally described. In my understanding, Ruoye Mu was the smartest person, but also arguably the most subservient.
Chapter 174 Toyokawa Shoko, you've ruined me!!!
How can one capture Ichinose Wakaba's feelings at this moment?
First of all, the guitar solo sounded so familiar that it made him break out in a sweat.
Secondly, the guitar solo was very beautiful, no wonder it was a song he liked.
Finally, Toyokawa Shoko, you've ruined me!!!
It goes without saying what the guitar solo Ruoye Mu was playing at that moment was; "Silent Night" was playing in the coffee shop next to the ring.
It must be said that Yi Lin (1) 759 I*V Jiu is Ruo Ye Mu.
Her diligent practice and natural talent for guitar allowed her to perform this piece perfectly. Furthermore, her shared experience of being one with Ichinose Wakaba made the piece even easier to play.
Oh, and most importantly—this is a guitar piece with feeling.
The song, not played for the sake of playing, but for a specific purpose, captivated the ears of everyone present.
"Hmph—hmm~"
Unbeknownst to her, Toyokawa Shoko was moved by the melody flowing from Ruoye Mutsu's fingertips. She began to hum softly, as if the melody in her heart had finally found a resonant rhythm. Her fingers moved as if they were playing her own "piano" on the table, as if her whole body had become a part of the piece.
The ticking rhythm of fingertips and the strumming of the guitar echoed each other perfectly, creating a unique and gentle improvisational ensemble in the bustling yet tranquil space of the coffee shop.
It started with a couple sitting by the window quietly looking up, followed by a male college student in the corner who took off one of his earphones. The waiter stood there with his tray, seemingly forgetting where to go next, his gaze following the flowing melody towards the source of the sound.
"This song is so good, what's it called?"
"I don't know, I've never heard of it."
"Those three girls are so pretty."
"Is it an idol group from somewhere?"
"Whose new song is this?"
"Wait... isn't that..." someone exclaimed in a low voice, as if they had recognized something.
Under everyone's gaze, the silent girl remained seated at the table, her phone playing a guitar solo. Her long, golden-green hair cascaded over her shoulders, her face expressionless, yet her delicate features and composed demeanor made it impossible to look away from her.
"She is... Ruoye Mu, right?" another voice asked, its tone filled with uncertain excitement.
"Ruoye Mu?!"
"It's Ruoye Mu!"
"That country's daughter?"
Although the works "Neko Neko no Naka de" and "Sekai no Uta no Hana" were created by Ichinose Wakaba in a simulation, they used Ruoba Mutsumi's body and simulated an invasion of reality.
She became more famous than ever before, even surpassing her father, comedian Wakaba, and her mother, well-known actress Minami Mori.
In addition, Ichinose Wakaba gave it her all in the simulation, appearing in quite a few film and television works.
She only played daughter roles because of her age. Then, because she played so many roles and was very cute, she was called the "Nation's Daughter".
After simulating the invasion of reality, all of these became Ruoye Mu's actions.
So with a quick online search, Ruoye Mu's identity was recognized.
As a girl with impeccable looks and her own abilities, Ruoye Mutsu's popularity has not declined, even though she has recently taken a break from acting.
After all, she is the nation's daughter.
"She actually showed up here?!"
Who are the two people next to her?
Quiet chatter filled the café, but no one interrupted the ongoing improvisation. Even though it was just a phone recording, the mono sample couldn't mask the emotion and warmth that flowed naturally from the melody.
"She's actually Ruoye Mu..."
"Oh my god, I think I saw an interview with her when she was a child in a magazine..."
"I want to get an autograph."
"That girl sings so well!"
More and more whispers echoed in the café, and the once quiet, wind-chime-like atmosphere became complicated.
What was originally just a casual humming and ensemble performance seemed to unintentionally reopen the curtain on a long-silent stage.
Toyokawa Shoko suddenly realized the gazes around her—they were looking at Ruoye Mutsu, and also at her.
Her hand movements suddenly stopped, as if she had been electrocuted, and her expression froze instantly. The color drained from her cheeks, replaced by embarrassment and panic.
As if someone had seen her most vulnerable side, Toyokawa Shoko lowered her head uneasily, a few strands of blue hair falling down her side.
"I...I got too into it, I'm sorry..." she said softly, her voice a little strained.
Her soft, round face made Ichinose Wakaba want to reach out and pinch it. Unfortunately, she had more important things to do.
His gaze fell on Ruoye Mu's face, inwardly blaming her for disturbing his and Toyokawa Shoko's time together, while a look of surprise appeared on one side of his face—it was a quiet night.
Upon hearing the guitar solo playing on Ruoye Mutsu's phone, Ichinose Wakaba's initial thought was: Is he really that talented? I only hummed a few lines last time, or did you secretly listen to the whole thing outside the elevator?
Later, while thinking about how to separate the characters Ichinose Wakaba and Uesugi Erii, Ichinose Wakaba heard the girl next to her start playing the instrument as well—Hmm? What's going on?
As Ichinose Wakaba hummed along to the blue-haired girl's piano piece, showing how immersed she was in the music, she began to draw some conclusions.
Previously, he entrusted the work of his manager to Toyokawa Shoko → Toyokawa Shoko saw his contact with Shirogane Rinko → Toyokawa Shoko, who liked the song, wanted to compose the music herself → There was guitar music in it → His childhood friend was a guitar virtuoso → Mutsu, please help me!
perfect!
Logical closed loop!
Toyokawa Shoko, you've ruined me!!!
Once again, Ichinose Wakaba inwardly denounced the blue-haired young lady.
If time could turn back, he definitely wouldn't have helped Toyokawa Shoko. By not helping her, Ruoye Mutsu wouldn't have learned about the song "Silent Night." And if she didn't know about "Silent Night," the doll-like girl wouldn't have doubted him.
If I didn't doubt myself, I wouldn't be in such a passive position now.
Toyokawa Shoko, you've ruined me!!!
Once again, Ichinose Wakaba silently berated the blue-haired young lady. If Ruoba Mutsumi hadn't been there, she would have already pinched that round little face—"You're the one who exposed me?!"
The noise grew louder and louder. Some people had already raised their phones, some were trying to take a few steps closer, and some were even whispering about whether to post it on social media.
"She was just humming a version that was transposed from the original key, right?"
"Please, someone record a live performance of this caliber and share it?"
The cacophony of voices was like invisible waves, crashing down on Toyokawa Shoko's back. She took a deep breath, her fingertips gently pressing down on the hem of her skirt, as if maintaining a dignified posture. She knew she couldn't let Ruoye Mutsu endure this situation.
When the coffee shop employee wearing an apron and looking troubled approached, Toyokawa Shoko stood up first and stood between him and Ruoye Mutsu.
"I'm so sorry to have caused you trouble."
Her voice was clear and steady, and her head was slightly lowered at what was almost her most appropriate bowing angle.
"We just wanted to practice a little melody quietly at first, we didn't expect it to cause such a big commotion... We are really sorry."
The blue-haired young lady raised her head, her gaze sincere and utterly genuine.
The shop assistant was about to say something, but when she met those elegant and polite blue-green eyes, she paused, and her tone softened: "No, no... it's alright, Miss, you didn't mean it... it's just that there were other customers in the store..."
“Yes, we’ll leave now.” Toyokawa Shoko said gently, then turned to look at Ichinose Wakaba and Ruoba Mutsumi.
"Muto, Erii, let's go somewhere else."
Toyokawa Shoko's voice wasn't loud, but it possessed a natural, reassuring quality. She didn't look at the curious gazes anymore, but simply walked towards the door.
Ichinose Wakaba nodded and followed without hesitation. Ruoba Mutsumi simply put away her phone, picked up her bag, lowered her head, and walked between the two with her skirt trembling slightly.
Chapter 175 Ruoye Mu: I Don't Know Anything (4k)
Outside the coffee shop, the street scene is at midday.
Sunlight filtered through the dappled shadows of the trees lining the street, casting shimmering spots of light that swayed gently in the breeze. A few sparrows perched on a telephone pole, chirping and chattering, seemingly oblivious to the people around them, discussing their lunch. In the distance, cars occasionally passed by, their wheels making soft rolling sounds on the ground, and the air still carried the lingering aroma of early summer grass and coffee beans.
The sign outside the coffee shop reflected the sunlight slightly, and the small blackboard by the door had the recommended dessert for the day written in chalk: strawberry cream cake. The handwriting was gentle, as if it had just been carefully drawn.
At this moment, the three girls who came out of the store seemed to be a part of the bustling crowd—quiet, independent, close to each other, yet each with their own thoughts.
The moment they stepped outside, a breeze blew in from the other end of the street, and sunlight fell on their shoulders.
"...I'm sorry." After walking a few steps out of the coffee shop, Mutsumi Ruoba spoke softly, to Shoko Toyokawa, and also to Wakaba Ichinose.
As for the reason?
Ruo Ye Mu felt it was her fault, because of her own mistake, that's why the three of them left the coffee shop.
"It's not Mu's fault."
Toyokawa Shoko walked at the front, her back ramrod straight, her steps slow but firm. Sunlight shone on her blue hair, giving it a faint silvery-blue glow.
When Toyokawa Shoko reached the shade tree on the side of the street, she suddenly stopped, as if she had made up her mind.
The blue-haired young lady turned around and bowed slightly to Ichinose Wakaba, who was following behind her.
"I'm sorry, Erii."
Her tone was so serious, as if she were talking about something formal, and her usually arrogant golden eyes were now quiet and calm.
"I sent the demo version of 'Silent Night' to Mu without your permission... Please forgive me."
Ruo Ye Mu, standing behind her, glanced up at her but said nothing, simply holding the bag in her hands tightly as she stood aside.
Like a child who has done something wrong.
