"Kokona..."

"——Shiluwa? How did you get here?"

Xiluwa seemed to be hesitating for a while, and suddenly a voice came from behind her, and she looked in the direction of the sound.

It’s Lin Jinghe.

...and his wives.

"Clara, why are you here too?"

Shiluwa came back to her senses from her thoughts and suddenly saw a barefoot loli with white hair and red eyes among the girls.

Clara blinked her eyes. The petite and cute girl leaned on Lin Jinghe and looked up at Xiluwa. She looked well-behaved and polite.

"My elder brother invited me to visit Pinocchio... Where's Sister Shiluwa?"

"Uh……"

Shiluwa's eyes were wandering, and she scratched her cheek nervously with her fingers for some reason. Suddenly she caught sight of the "cat ears" beside her, and she immediately put her hands on Lingke's shoulders.

"I...of course I came here with Lingbao and Pera!"

Pera pushed up her glasses and didn't expose Shiluwa's poor acting.

Ling Ke had no expression on her face, but she also raised her hand in cooperation, "Hello, Clara."

"……Hello."

"..."

Shiluwa breathed a sigh of relief. Clara didn't suspect anything, so she let herself go.

The blonde tried to regain her original bold and heroic appearance, supporting her slender waist with one hand, and even seemed to want to put her other hand directly around Lin Jinghe's neck... but was deliberately pushed away by Huahuo.

Shiluwa: “?”

"Dear belongs to Hanabi~~!"

Hua Huo jumped up, hugged Lin Jinghe's neck and hung on him, declaring her sovereignty?

The beautiful kimono fluttered up and down like goldfish fireworks, the hem of her skirt rippled slightly, and her white and tender legs swayed. The girl turned around playfully and made a face at Shiluwa.

Slightly~~~

Sylva: "..."

"Uh... Shiluwa?"

Lin Jinghe also gently pushed Hua Huo's cheek which was rubbing against her like a cat, but he couldn't push her away, so he just let her be.

Anyway, as an adult, the older sister Shiluwa has already convinced herself. She laughed awkwardly, "Haha, the weather is nice today... uh, it doesn't seem to rain here?"

"It would be terrible if it rained."

Lin Jinghe added.

"is it?"

"Yes."

"..."

"..."

"Sis, you are so stupid!"

Ling Ke seemed to be unable to bear to see her disappointing elder sister, and a hint of disdain appeared on that stupid face.

"Why!?"

Shiluwa looked at Lingke in shock.

It's not an illusion.

Lingbao really disliked herself, and she said it directly in front of Lin Jinghe!

The blonde and blue-eyed queen opened her eyes wide, looking incredulous, and surprisingly cute.

Pera looked at it and shook her head.

Ling Ke sighed endlessly, and a lot of sadness appeared on her cute little face, which made Shiluwa's eyebrows jump. Who made my lovely Lingbao so upset! ?

Ah...it's me? ?

Ling Ke said leisurely, "Sister, human ability is limited. I have learned one thing from this short life - the more calculating a person is, the more likely they are to fall into unexpected difficulties and lose all their previous efforts..."

"Lingbao, what on earth do you want to say!?"

"Jinghe, my sister and I just ran into a clerk in the luxury store over there..."

“Eh, eh… about this?”

Lingke changed the subject and looked up at Lin Jinghe. Hanabi was still hanging on him stubbornly, with her delicate buttocks held by Lin Jinghe. He then carried the girl on his back and held up her soft thighs with both hands.

"… Lingke, you mean Kokona?"

"Hey, Jinghe, do you know her?"

"Because of the stars."

"star?"

Ling Ke looked over when she heard that, and saw the tall gray-haired Xing with her hands on her hips, her pretty snow-white face slightly tilted up, with an expression that looked like she was about to praise me.

"My superpowers tell me there are people who need help! ... But Jinghe said he has a very suitable method."

Obviously, her figure and looks are suitable for Lingke's older sister, but the one in front of her looks more like a younger sister.

No wonder he gets along so well with Shiluwa...

Could it be that Xing still wants Lingke to stand on tiptoes to touch your head?

"Superpowers? Xing is still so amazing..."

Unfortunately, Lingke only gave a faint compliment.

Ling Ke blinked and turned to look at Lin Jinghe: "Jinghe, that's the clerk. I'm worried about something... I've been thinking about it all the way, but I didn't tell me."

Xing: “That’s it!”

Why don't you praise me anymore?

Xiluwa: "Lingbao..."

Shiluwa was a little moved. Was this what she really wanted to say?

"..."

People don’t share the same joys and sorrows?

San Yue Qi shook his head helplessly, and could only reach out and touch Xing's head, saying perfunctorily, "Great, great, Xing is really great..."

"March, you should at least be more serious..."

"What else do you want?"

“No, nothing…”

"..."

Pella blinked her eyes, seeming to be curious about the way Lin Jing got along with the girls around him. The atmosphere was harmonious, and even seemed a little interesting.

Shiluwa hesitated, but under Lingke's urging, she finally spoke out what was in her mind.

"Kokona... feels a bit like me."

Xing: "How is it similar?"

The down-to-earth and even honest Kokona, and the rebellious Shiluva?

"Xing, what's that look in your eyes?"

“…I’m a little skeptical.”

Shiluwa: “?”

Xing: “Hehe…”

The somewhat silly big sister Shiluwa and Xing, who looks pretty but is actually very despicable, inexplicably get along well with each other.

"...Xing, what are you doing?"

Xiluwa looked strangely at Xing who was excitedly leading a group of people all the way back to the luxury store. For some reason, the girl was in high spirits and posed strangely. Sanyueqi took a photo of her with disgust.

"Dear guest, welcome... It's you, nice to see you again, eh, dear guest?... What are you doing?"

Kokona looked at the gray-haired girl in front of her with confusion. She couldn’t understand, she really couldn’t understand. The only thing she could understand was... that her waist was really in good condition?

Seeing this, San Yueqi hurriedly urged.

"Xing, for your own sake, use the clock trick on Kokona, quickly."

“Made in clock tricks!”

What's going on?

Shiluwa: “?”

Confused and puzzled.

The tide of memories surged towards Shiluwa, and the waves passed through the people around her, just like the experience when she fell asleep in the hotel.

But when she came to her senses, she saw only the crumbling building and the dizzying height.

Shiluwa vaguely realized something, that she seemed to have seen into Kokona's inner world?

Is this Xing’s superpower?

Not only that, Shiluwa then witnessed a lot of Kokona's past from a third-person perspective.

"Kokona, it's amazing! Whether it's the pitch, rhythm or emotion, your singing level is far beyond your peers. You have a particularly high understanding of music and can quickly capture the spirit that the song wants to convey... It's really rare!"

"And your voice - as soft as silk, from the bass to the treble, it maintains a considerable degree of timbre unity. It's truly a rare talent..."

"I have nothing to teach you anymore. Go find a better teacher. You can definitely become a singer who is one in a million. You have the talent and the hard work! ... You haven't made up your mind yet? It doesn't matter. Remember not to regret when you have the chance to make a choice. This is the last lesson."

Is this... the teacher's approval?

It turns out that she is someone who has undergone systematic vocal training.

Xiluwa had a clue in her mind.

Looking again, the dream changed again.

Kokona's piano, Kokona's thoughts, Kokona's friends...

"I don't have any great ambitions. I don't expect to become a financial elite. I just hope to find a decent job in the 'Golden Moment' and live my life comfortably~~"

"But our mysterious Nana, beautiful Nana, smart Nana is definitely different from me... Let me guess, does Nana want to be a singer?"

"'Imagine a Rose of the Future'? Nana's song title is so poetic, it sounds nice just by the name! When you go on stage to perform this song, your dreams will surely shine with Pinocchio's 12 Hours... Just thinking about it is amazing!"

"When the time comes, I will definitely cheer for Nana at the Pinocchio Opera House with a light stick, and show off to others: 'Look! That's my best friend!'"

Apparently, not.

That future did not come true.

Shiluwa pursed her lips.

Sure enough, Kokona is very similar to her.

At that time, she also had many teachers who recognized her, and Cocolia, who always disagreed with her but still supported her...

Shiluwa became a scientist, the owner of the mechanical house "Perpetual Motion", and the lead singer and guitarist of the rock band "Mechanical Fever"...

Maybe Kokona doesn't have the capital to rebel like herself?

"Music... singing... Xiaona, are you too tired recently to have such naive thoughts?"

"You haven't received any formal training, you're not pretty, and your voice is just average... Xiaona, let's think of a practical solution, okay?"

"Nana, you have to remember that we are different from our family and those wealthy dream chasers... We are locals from Pinocchio. Compared to those rich people, we don't have as many good choices."

"…Choose carefully, and don't let us down."

"…Choose carefully, and don't let us down."
