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

Toyokawa Shoko paused for a moment, then laughed:

"it is good."

She had almost forgotten about it; because of her parents' request, Ruoye Mu would attend some extra classes every week.

For example, dance... and so on.

Most of these courses are related to art or performance.

Although Wakaba Mutsuko doesn't have as many classes now as she did when she was a child, she has kept ballet classes and still sets aside time each week to practice.

Shoko Toyokawa's thoughts raced as she looked at Ugetsu Nagumo.

Nan Yun Yuyue was looking at Ruo Ye Mu, and he waved his hand and said:

"Well... see you tomorrow."

Wakaba Mutsu looked into his eyes as if she were about to hand over something, and then looked at Toyokawa Shoko.

Then, she said softly:

"it is good."

However, the three did not immediately part ways at the school gate, but continued as usual, walking all the way to the street not far from the school.

If Mutsuya takes the tram home today, and Toyokawa Shoko specifically told her father that she had something to do after school and needed to come home a little late, so the family driver didn't need to pick her up again.

The two accompanied Wakaba Mutsu all the way to the vicinity of the tram station, watching her board the tram.

With a 'click-whoosh' as ​​the tram started moving, Wakaba Mutsu gradually disappeared into the distance.

Then, Nanon Ugetsu turned around and looked at Toyokawa Shoko beside her.

"Let's go find Gao Songdeng now."

He calculated the time and realized that because Tsukinomori gets out of school early, they could arrive a little earlier if they went now.

"Please wait a moment."

Shoko Toyokawa saw another tram approaching not far from the station, and then, as if suddenly remembering something, she took out her phone.

Her phone vibrated, so she quickly opened it to see if it was a reply from her senior, Shiina Maki.

Unexpectedly, after swiping the screen, the first thing I saw was an advertisement from Toyokawa Group.

The company had just changed its spokesperson, and coincidentally, it was Momoko Wakaba's mother, Minami Mori.

"?"

"I didn't expect the group to change its spokesperson."

The thought flashed through her mind for a moment before being forgotten.

When businesses are operating, it is common to change spokespeople in order to expand into new businesses. It is very rare for someone to be able to represent a company for a long time and even become a symbol of it.

"However, Xiao Mu didn't mention Senmina's latest endorsement either, so it seems she doesn't know much about it either."

Toyokawa Shoko thought to herself, then looked up at Nagumo Ugetsu, and said somewhat apologetically:

"Sorry, I thought it was a message from my senior."

A bright smile spread across her face, a golden light flashing in her pupils, before she looked towards the street beside her:

Let's go together.

The two left the station and then changed direction, heading towards the place they had agreed to meet with Takamatsu Akari.

"Nagamo-kun...you met Takamatsu-kun yesterday. What do you think of her personality?"

Toyokawa Shoko asked.

"Hmm... how should I put it?" Nan Yun Yuyue looked at the surrounding streets, "She seems a bit introverted, but I feel like she's the kind of girl who's quite sensitive."

“My main concern is that she might lack self-confidence, but if she can open up, she will definitely have no problem being the lead singer of the band.”

"I see." Toyokawa Shoko nodded.

"I'm really looking forward to seeing her later."

"However... we'll have to wait until we meet to discuss the specifics."

Nanon Ugetsu provided a timely patch.

The two continued on their way.

The signs of late spring are becoming more pronounced, and summer is quietly approaching, but it has not yet taken away the last vestiges of spring.

Along the street, many cherry blossoms have already begun to fall. Sometimes a gust of wind blows, and the petals fall down with a rustling sound, following the trajectory of the wind, like a celestial maiden scattering flowers, drawing a curtain before quietly falling to the ground.

There were several shops along the street, including a milk tea shop. I could also see many girls who were studying nearby walking towards the station. When they saw someone walking against the flow of traffic, they looked a little surprised.

Nanon Ugetsu and Toyokawa Shoko walked together through several familiar streets and arrived at the agreed-upon location.

"I didn't expect Takamatsu to be here already."

Looking around, Toyokawa Shoko saw a figure sitting quietly on a tree bench under a tree not far away.

She was looking down at the soil at the base of the large tree surrounded by the tree benches.

"Could it be that he's focusing on stones again?"

Nangumo Ugetsu thought to herself, remembering the Philosopher's Stone that Takamatsu had given her yesterday.

The stone is still in his bag, but its energy has been absorbed by 'Discipline'.

"We can't be focusing on pill bugs, can we..."

He walked over, but the girl didn't seem to notice anyone approaching and was still looking at the soil under the tree.

It wasn't until Nangumo Ugetsu gently called out "Takamatsu-san" that she suddenly raised her head and turned around.

Before her stood Nan Yun Yu Yue, and another figure whose name she had only learned yesterday, but whom she had never met before.

She remembered Nan Yun Yuyue's face, but it took Takamatsu Akari a long time to match the name 'Toyokawa Shoko' with the person next to her.

Takamatsu stood up, somewhat reserved:

"Hello."

"Hello," Toyokawa Shoko said with a smile.

"I am Toyokawa Shoko. I'm the one who said yesterday that I wanted to meet you."

Her gaze swept across Takamatsu's face.

The girl in front of me had short hair, but unlike the typical tomboyish type, she looked rather cute, returning to the natural look of short hair.

However, he appeared somewhat reserved, just as Nangumo had described as 'not very confident'.

Just as Toyokawa Shoko was about to speak, Nagumo Ugetsu gently tugged at her sleeve:

"Sit down and talk."

So the three of them sat together under the tree chairs around the big tree.

The tree-encircling chairs are in a neat ring shape, and the wooden planks are polished to a smooth and warm finish, making them look very clean.

Only after sitting down did Nan Yun Yuyue see the base of the tree in the middle, which had been hidden from view.

The bark was covered with a layer of velvety moss, and the edges were covered with smooth pebbles. These were probably what Gao Songdeng had been looking at.

"I see."

He was convinced.

Takamatsu Denki is definitely a master at loving all kinds of stones and collecting them.

Although she has collected all kinds of stones, including many pebbles of various shapes, she still finds herself unconsciously immersing herself in them when sitting under the tree bench waiting for someone.

Nanon Ugetsu looked to the side, where Toyokawa Shoko had already sat down, her gaze falling on the notebook that Takamatsu Akari had just taken out.

Chapter 82 Could this be the darkness of the Toyokawa family?

Toyokawa Shoko's gaze fell on Takamatsu Akari's notebook.

This notebook is the one that Nanyun Yuyue showed to her in a photo yesterday.

A picture of a rhinoceros beetle hung in the center of the notebook, with the name Takamatsu Tō written below it.

Toyokawa Shoko's heart skipped a beat.

This notebook was her most frequently used notebook during her childhood, and it accompanied her through many years.

Although I don't know where this notebook is now hidden in my house, the memories of it are still so vivid.

Just from the resemblance of a notebook, Toyokawa Shoko felt a growing fondness for the girl she had just met.

Many friendships formed during childhood and adolescence are often based on shared similarities between the individuals involved.

A game, a novel, an anime... can instantly turn two complete strangers into friends.

What triggered Toyokawa Shoko's memories at this moment was undoubtedly the notebook in front of her.

Nan Yun Yuyue spoke up at the opportune moment:

"Yesterday, since I was going to meet her today, I asked Deng to bring her notebook."

Toyokawa Shoko looked into Takamatsu Akari's eyes.

Takamatsu Akari seemed to have never seen such golden pupils before. She wanted to lower her head, but then immediately raised it again to meet Toyokawa Shoko's gaze.

Toyokawa Shoko's voice was clear and crisp:

"Excuse me, Takamatsu, could I borrow your notebook to take a look?"

Takamatsu blinked, and without saying a word, handed over the notebook.

wow-

Toyokawa Shoko gently turned a page in her notebook and looked at the contents.

Coincidentally, the page she randomly flipped to was the very spot where Nan Yun Yuyue had taken her picture yesterday.

"Although I've made friends like everyone else, it feels like..."

"It's so beautiful..."

Toyokawa Shoko sighed inwardly.

Yesterday, as I looked at the photos that Nan Yun Yuyue took of me through the screen, I felt that these words were like poetry.

Holding this notebook in my hands today, and seeing the words on it, I felt a sense of connection that was even stronger than when I saw it on a screen.

"If we take it as lyrics and set it to music..."

Toyokawa Shoko envisioned this in her mind.

Then, she flipped back a few pages and looked at the contents.

Despite many exclamations such as "I wish I could be human," Toyokawa Shoko was inexplicably not surprised.

It's as if seeing these 'lyrics' resonated with me.

"It's really good."

She thought this to herself, and glanced at Nan Yun Yuyue without making a sound.

At this moment, Nan Yun Yu Yue and Gao Song Deng were looking at the pebbles on the soil at the base of the big tree.

The two were in a roughly symmetrical position. Although they did not get up from their seats, they both twisted their waists and looked down at the bottom of the tree-encircling bench.

The two men's heads were very close together, and they didn't seem to be paying attention to what Toyokawa Shoko was thinking.

"Forehead……"

"Nagamo-kun really has a magical attraction. Even if you've only known him for a short time, you'll quickly become familiar with him."

Toyokawa Shoko found it a little strange, but didn't pay too much attention to it. She just marveled at how quickly Nagumo Ugetsu became familiar with everyone.

She flipped through a few more pages and felt that the text, with just a few minor modifications, or even no modifications at all, could perfectly become the lyrics to a song.

Even more so, the melody of the music involuntarily surfaced in her mind, as if the arrangement techniques she had once learned were being applied unconsciously and embedded in the words of this girl named Takamatsu Akira.

"Perhaps... this is the person I'm looking for."

Toyokawa Shoko turned around gently and looked at Takamatsu Akari beside her.
