"I've already prepared that room, you can sleep here tonight."
Chapter 131 Toyokawa Shoko, are you going to Kassel College?
It is 4:02 AM Tokyo time.
It was already the transition period between late night and early morning, and because it was summer, a sliver of dawn could be seen on the distant horizon.
The entire city was immersed in this half-awake state, with only a few people getting up at this time.
Toyokawa Shoko was naturally also immersed in her sleep.
The events of the night had thrown her into turmoil, with scenes from the rainy night flashing through her mind.
Rainy night, overpass, Maybach, the eight-legged horse 'Sreipnir', Odin, Nagumo Ugetsu...
She had expected to have trouble sleeping, but when she lay on the bed in the room that Nan Yunyu had made for her, she quickly fell asleep.
Toyokawa Shoko hadn't slept this soundly in a long time.
She lay on her side on the pristine white bed, like a cat curled up into a ball, a few stray hairs brushing against her cheeks with the breath, completely oblivious to her surroundings.
Now, because she had turned over, the collar of her dress had been stretched open, revealing half of her round, smooth collarbone.
Shoko Toyokawa, already deep in sleep, was completely unaware of all this. She just felt so tired that she wished she could wake up and be there forever.
Time passed by minute by minute.
A few streaks of light, the color of lotus blossoms, seeped through the curtains. Then, these streaks spread upwards, filtering through the sheer curtains and into the room.
Then, the sun continued its original trajectory, casting more and more light into the world.
By the afternoon, it gradually withdrew from this land, allowing the world to enter the next cycle.
So when Toyokawa Shoko woke up, she found that the sky outside was already a little dark.
"and many more!"
Toyokawa Shoko rubbed her cheeks, finally bringing herself to her senses.
She looked at her clothes and found that they were still the same as before, but because of her sleeping position, a few buttons had naturally come undone.
She's quite fair-skinned and pinkish-white.
Suddenly, a thought popped into Toyokawa Shoko's mind.
Then she subconsciously covered her chest, lifting it up in a circular motion, and estimated the roundness's dimensions.
"Um……"
"With this curve... it's definitely a bit tight to wear this outfit right now."
Toyokawa Shoko thought.
She looked towards the bedside, where the new dress that Nan Yun Yuyue had handed her after she finished showering and came out of the bathroom was right there.
Although the style is similar to what I'm wearing now, it's clearly a size larger.
"Let's change it first and then we'll talk about it."
Toyokawa Shoko unbuttoned her clothes, letting her delicate body face the sunlight.
Then she quickly changed into another new outfit, buttoned it up, tidied herself up, and then got out of bed.
"what time is it now?"
Toyokawa Shoko suddenly realized the problem.
She looked out the window, where it was already bright. She had been so tired when she went to sleep that she hadn't even had time to draw the curtains. Now, the sunlight poured into the room, making the girl look even more radiant.
Toyokawa Shoko walked towards the bedside table.
The phone is charging. The battery is already fully charged, and there are several pop-up messages on the screen.
Swish
Slide open the phone.
[Tokyo Time: 15:02]
"It's so late!"
Toyokawa Shoko was immediately startled.
She never expected that she would sleep for so long, and when she woke up it was already afternoon.
But after such a long sleep, she felt her fatigue subside a little, and her mind was finally free from the tangled thoughts of the past.
Toyokawa Shoko pushed open the door and entered the living room, where Nagumo Ugetsu was reading a book on the sofa, seemingly waiting for her to wake up.
"Thank you, Yuyue..."
Toyokawa Shoko walked to the sofa and lowered her head.
"It's okay... Do you want to eat something first? I ordered takeout for you for lunch, but you weren't awake yet, so I put it in the refrigerator first."
Nanyun Yuyue said.
He looked Toyokawa Shoko up and down.
The girl had indeed been asleep for a long time, and her cheeks were still flushed.
"Oh, by the way, I've already put the clothes you wore yesterday in the washing machine. They should be almost dry now. If you want to change back into them, you can change back into the clothes you wore before in a little while."
Nan Yun Yuyue recalled the scene from that morning when he searched through Toyokawa Shoko's clothes to see if they could be washed, and then said calmly.
Technology changes lives. The washing machine quickly finished washing these clothes, and with the spin-drying process and the summer sun, the clothes naturally dried faster than before.
Toyokawa Shoko was stunned for a moment:
"it is good……"
"I bought a new set of toiletries, which I've placed near the sink. You can use it directly when you need it."
Nanyun Yuyue said again.
"Mmm." Toyokawa Shoko suddenly felt a sense of being well taken care of.
She opened her mouth slightly, blushed, and said thank you before running into the bathroom as if fleeing.
Hua Hua Hua——
slam-la-
The toiletries that Nan Yun Yuyue had specially prepared for her were placed right next to his original set. Feng Chuan Xiangzi easily identified her set and quickly began washing up.
After washing up, she looked at herself in the mirror, took a deep breath, and returned to the living room.
"Let's eat first." Nan Yun Yuyue heated up the takeout she had ordered for Fengchuan Xiangzi at noon and placed it on the table.
"Let's talk about it after we finish eating."
Toyokawa Shoko hadn't eaten all day and was now extremely hungry.
In addition, the bento box ordered by Nanon Ugetsu looked very plentiful, with meat, eggs, vegetables, and a variety of colors, aromas, and flavors.
She picked up her chopsticks and began to wolf down her food.
Toyokawa Shoko completely disregarded the etiquette expected of a young lady; she had long since forgotten about such things during the rainy night of the previous day.
In addition, she felt that she didn't need to hide anything from Nan Yun Yuyue, so she quickly finished the bento box in front of her.
"I...I'll tidy up."
Toyokawa Shoko wiped her mouth and then stood up.
Nan Yun Yuyue didn't stop him. She just watched as Toyokawa Shoko cleaned the table again and then sat down in front of him again.
"Today is Monday, and none of us went to school in Moon Forest. The school must have marked us as truant."
Nan Yun Yuyue said jokingly.
Now that both sides know each other's identities, there is no need to restrict themselves from the perspective of students.
Given what they are going through, skipping a day of class is a trivial matter.
He just wanted to use this small incident to calm Toyokawa Shoko down, since he hadn't expected to encounter this situation last night.
Speaking of which... when he first dropped off Toyokawa Shoko downstairs at her father's rented apartment, he specifically told her not to forget to go to Tsuki no Mori for class the next day.
But plans can't keep up with changes. After that night, neither he nor Toyokawa Shoko could ever recall the feeling of rushing to class that day.
Now they face several more crucial issues.
Nan Yun Yuyue looked at Toyokawa Shoko in front of her, whose expression was somewhat awkward.
She placed her hands on the table, and when she saw Nan Yun Yuyue watching her, she quietly lowered her head.
Toyokawa Shoko's heart was filled with a mixture of bitterness, unease, and endless confusion.
Yes...Moon Forest...
Actually, their current ID cards only show them as junior high school students.
Although she will be entering high school next semester, she still looks quite young.
Why... do I have to endure these things at this age?
Toyokawa Shoko felt like crying for a moment.
When she woke up from her sleep, she didn't actually have many sad feelings in her mind.
But it wasn't that she forgot those things in a single day; rather, it was that her brain's defense mechanism automatically blocked out those overly painful memories.
The brain is truly an amazing creation. Sometimes, to prevent emotional overload from damaging the nervous system, it will even actively reduce the encoding of memories of traumatic events by inhibiting the hippocampus.
This may be an instinctive reaction of humans to avoid secondary trauma during the process of evolution.
However, the memory was like a sharp needle deeply embedded in Toyokawa Shoko's heart, making it impossible for her to forget it no matter what.
If I die... who will remember my father afterward?
Human memory is unreliable; it forgets many things you've experienced, just like a hard drive that's easily demagnetized and formatted at any time.
She recalled the psychology books she had read, in which the character 'I,' playing the doctor, advised patients:
"Actually, it's good to forget everything in the past. If you can remember every detail of the past, then all the sad, painful, and sorrowful scenes from the past will continue to torment you, just like the Avici Hell, making it impossible for you to escape."
But Toyokawa Shoko doesn't want to forget.
My father has passed away, and he didn't have any other friends in the Toyokawa Group before his death.
My mother has already passed away, and my grandfather is unwilling to mention this son-in-law who has been expelled from the family.
If even I forget him, then I'm afraid there will be no trace of him left in this world.
"Father……"
Shoko Toyokawa said softly, in a voice only she could hear.
So now... what should I do?
She raised her head and looked at Nan Yunyuyue.
"Rain Moon... what do you think I should do?"
Toyokawa Shoko's words were earnest.
Now... the only person she can trust is the boy in front of her.
“Hmm…” Nan Yun Yuyue hesitated for a moment, then said:
"When I got out of the Maybach yesterday, I also brought the clothes your father gave you."
“This is the uniform of Kassel College…your father should have told you about it.”
Nan Yunyu pointed to the balcony. He had thrown the school uniform into the washing machine, but before washing it, he had taken everything out of the machine.
"It's exactly the same as I remember..."
Nan Yun Yu Yue sighed inwardly.
However, it seems that Kiyotaka Toyokawa has lost the white shirt under his Kassel school uniform, leaving only the suit jacket with thin silver trim.
On the suit, the half-rotten World Tree school badge remained intact, showing no signs of falling off.
However, Nangumo Ugetsu's main focus was not on the school uniform, but on the Kassel College student ID and the letter that Toyokawa Kiyoko had written to his mentor.
