We agreed to be in a band for life, what the heck is Dragon Raja?

"You don't need to bring this... and you don't need to bring this either..."

She stopped walking when she reached the piano.

The doll of her mother still sat on the small round table next to the piano, quietly watching over her.

Just like countless times before, no matter what happened, her mother was always by her side.

but now……

Toyokawa Shoko felt as if her heart was about to break. She felt she had never been so isolated and helpless, as if the whole world was against her.

At that moment, when Toyokawa Shoko saw the doll's face, she almost burst into tears.

But she quickly regained her composure.

"Mother's doll... this is the only one I must take with me."

"Oh right, and the electronic keyboard I brought back today."

Toyokawa Shoko felt a little annoyed. The electronic keyboard was already quite heavy, and she felt fine carrying it on the bus and train back and forth, but if she had to carry it back again, she didn't know where to put it.

"Let's keep it in the rehearsal room from now on."

Toyokawa Shoko thought to himself.

She didn't linger. She picked up her mother's doll, carried the piano case, and took one last deep look at the piano, as if trying to imprint its image in her heart, before leaving the old Koga Garden.

The Toyokawa family mansion was deathly silent at this moment. None of the mixed-race servants who used to be there showed up.

Shoko Toyokawa walked out of her house without any hindrance and ran off into the distance.

She didn't know how much time had passed before she finally stopped.

Shoko Toyokawa didn't realize that, despite carrying her violin case and the doll, she hadn't felt too tired after running this far.

Instead, it felt like I had finally arrived at a place a little further away from 'home,' and I could finally vent my emotions.

As she ran, tears gradually welled up in her eyes.

Now, as soon as she put down her violin case, Toyokawa Shoko could no longer contain her emotions, and tears streamed down her face like broken silver beads.

"Woooooooooooo..."

She started by sobbing softly, but the more she cried, the louder she wailed.

Her cries were very sorrowful and helpless.

After all, she was just a teenage girl. Suddenly experiencing such a change, even though she had mentally prepared herself, she ultimately couldn't withstand it.

However, at that moment, she felt a light tap on her shoulder.

"Excuse me……"

Toyokawa Shoko rubbed her eyes, instinctively thinking that she was blocking the way for the people behind her.

But as soon as she turned around, Nan Yun Yuyue's face came into view.

!!!

"Nagamo-kun... what are you doing here?"

Toyokawa Shoko was very surprised, and then a feeling of shame welled up in her heart.

Did he see what I looked like just now?

And right now, my eyes are probably still red...

She had never shown such emotions in front of others before, nor had she ever felt so helpless.

So when Nan Yun Yuyue discovered her predicament, she subconsciously felt embarrassed and found it difficult to speak up.

But Nanon Ugetsu seemed oblivious to this. He looked at Toyokawa Shoko and then asked, feigning ignorance:

"Toyokawa-kun... did you have a fight with your family?"

Toyokawa Shoko was silent.

She didn't know what state she was in. Had she run away from home? But the question was, where was home?

Moreover, the problems she is facing now are too complicated to explain to others.

She paused for a moment, then looked at Nan Yunyuyue.

With concern on her face, Nan Yun Yu Yue, seeing that she hadn't spoken for a while, then said:

"After the band's performance today, I thought I'd go for a walk, and then I remembered that Asukayama Park is nearby. I never expected to run into you like this."

"Asukayama Park..."

Toyokawa Shoko was stunned.

Yes... it is indeed near the former Furukawa Garden.

When I was a child, my mother and I often came to this park to play, but as I grew older, we came less and less often.

Now that she has chosen to leave home, it is likely that she will never have the chance to come back.

Speaking of which, she still remembered that on the way to the old Koga Garden residence for the first time, the two of them talked about the scenery of Asukayama Park.

She said at the time, "The cherry blossoms at Asukayama are beautiful. I can be your tour guide then."

Given her current state, she probably won't have another chance.

A thousand thoughts flashed through Toyokawa Shoko's mind. Only then did she realize that she had been silent for too long, so she whispered:

"Um……"

"Nagamo-kun... please keep this a secret for me."

“Of course.” Nan Yun Yuyue nodded. “Where are you going now?”

Toyokawa Shoko fell silent once again.

Although she trusted Nanon Ugetsu very much, her past pride as a young lady prevented her from speaking out about her predicament and asking for help from others.

This is a very conflicted feeling; you know your heart is full of wounds, but you're afraid of others knowing.

Just as Toyokawa Shoko was thinking this, Nagumo Ugetsu suddenly reached out and took her violin case.

"Why don't you come with me first?"

Chapter 118 Returning Home, a High-Ranking Hybrid Who Came Specifically

"Why don't you come with me first?"

Nanyun Yuyue said.

He looked at the girl in front of him. Toyokawa Shoko had her head down at first, but she looked up in a panic after he took the violin bag away.

In Toyokawa Shoko's arms, one hand was still tightly holding the doll of her mother. The doll clung tightly to her clothes, pressing out the curves of a young girl's body, making her look somewhat pitiful.

"I...I'm going to find my father."

"Toyokawa Shoko said in a low voice."

"Because something happened at home, I have to go see him now."

After saying this, she lowered her head again, her expression somewhat gloomy.

Originally, she didn't want to mention that her father had encountered some problems, which was why she left the Toyokawa family home.

However, since the person in front of her was Nangumo Ugetsu, out of trust in him, Toyokawa Shoko hesitated for a moment before vaguely saying a few words.

"So that's it."

Nan Yun Youyue naturally knew what had happened, but he saw a lot of stubbornness in Toyokawa Shoko's eyes.

"Deep down, she's still a very proud girl..."

Nan Yun Yu Yue thought to herself.

Even at this point, she did not suddenly collapse like an avalanche; instead, she had made up her mind.

The status of the eldest daughter of the Toyokawa family... countless people would envy her, but she resolutely abandoned it.

Do you know where your father is?

Nanyun Yuyue said.

“Hmm…” Toyokawa Shoko said softly, “Grandfather gave me his location.”

"Let's go."

Nanon Ugetsu carried the violin case.

“It’s so late, I’m worried about you going home alone. I need to go home too, I can take you there together.”

"Ah good."

Toyokawa Shoko opened her mouth, intending to refuse, but upon hearing Nagumo Ugetsu's voice, she involuntarily agreed.

She looked up, hugged the doll in her arms even tighter, and then followed Nan Yun Yuyue's steps toward the tram station.

Bang, bang, bang—

Swah——

The car door opens.

This was the last tram of the night, and the two of them caught it just as they arrived at the station.

Toyokawa Shoko sat near the car window, with Nagumo Ugetsu placing her violin case at her feet beside her.

The doll in her arms appeared to flicker in the darkness and under the carriage lights, but Toyokawa Shoko kept looking at it.

Mother……

Then she lowered her head and secretly glanced at Nan Yun Yuyue.

Since I met him... he has really helped me a lot...

Toyokawa Shoko felt a little more at ease.

At that moment, Nan Yun Yuyue was looking down at her phone.

The phone is displaying the latest news updates from the Toyokawa Group.

Toyokawa Group makes a new round of angel investments in emerging unicorn companies.

[Breaking News! Toyokawa Group Successfully Acquires Well-Known Company in Industry, Accelerating Industrial Integration]

[Major personnel changes at Toyokawa Group: All project team members resign, and new senior executives take office]

……

Most of these news items were retrieved from various media outlets, from which one can vaguely discern the recent activities of the Fengchuan Group.

"Judging from this... there really isn't anything unusual..."

Nanyun Yuyue's thoughts drifted.

After all, relying solely on external media reports to understand a company's internal changes only provides partial details and is not timely.

By the time some events are reported in the news, it means they have already happened, and their accuracy cannot be guaranteed.

"The best way to understand him is, firstly, through Toyokawa Shoko... and secondly, through his father, Toyokawa Kiyoko."

he thought.

Moreover, the Snake Clan... a mixed-blood power that has existed for so many years, has now stooped to the point of framing an A-rank mixed-blood. I wonder what Tachibana Masamune's purpose is.

Nanon Ugetsu noticed that Toyokawa Shoko was secretly watching him, so he turned his head slightly and met her eyes.

Toyokawa Shoko suddenly felt a little embarrassed, her face turning slightly red. Fortunately, it was already night, and the lights in the carriage were dim, so the blush on her face was not very noticeable.

However, Nan Yun Yuyue had already deduced something from her expression. He smiled and said:

"Almost there."

“Hmm…” Toyokawa Shoko nodded. “We’re almost at the location my grandfather gave me.”

"Two more stops and we can get off."

"it is good."

Nan Yun Yuyue picked up her violin case, then put it down again and looked at the front of the carriage.
