I have pure love with them

"We are very sorry for the inconvenience caused to you. We feel the same as you do. Our store will continue to improve the situation you just reported. We hope that after the improvement, we can provide you with better service."

The guest on the other end of the phone had finished speaking. Toyokawa Shoko didn't hear clearly what he said, but that didn't affect her from giving a formal answer.

But this answer seemed to anger the customer on the other end of the phone, and the other party's tone suddenly became rude. Toyokawa Shoko frowned and endured the other party's rude attitude until the other party hung up the call angrily. She sat at her post, biting her lips.

Even though she has been working for a while, she still can't treat these customers with bad attitudes calmly. She is very dissatisfied with this job that often gets her scolded. However, only behind-the-scenes work like customer service can keep her from appearing in front of other people and being run into by people she knows.

Moreover, the working hours are flexible, and the income is much higher than other part-time jobs. However, working in this position for a long time can easily affect one's mood.

Before Toyokawa Shoko could calm down her dissatisfaction, another phone call came in. She took a deep breath, suppressed her dissatisfaction, tightened her facial expression, and started her work in the calmest tone possible.

"This is customer service..."

Inside the e-sports store 'FOX ONE', Tokinoya Shun was working, wiping the keyboards and mice used by customers. There was no expression on his face, but every time he touched the mouse, he would think back to the days when he was immersed in the game.

"I can't play games anymore."

His father died and his sister was paralyzed, the accidents caused by him made him decide to leave the world of games.

'It's all my fault.'

His eyes dimmed and Tokinoya instantly put down his mouse.

"Is my brother here?"

"Yeah, it's right here."

As if he heard some familiar voices, Tokinoya Shun couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, thinking it was his illusion, but when he heard the voices of two familiar people at the same time, he couldn't help but turn around and look towards the entrance.

But as soon as he looked back, Tokinoya Shun couldn't help but open his eyes wide.

"Izumi? Mio?"

Pushing Mio into the store, Goto Ichiri followed closely beside Izumi.

"If Izumi and I were older, would other people think we were a couple pushing their daughter?"

Looking at the cute girl sitting in the wheelchair, Goto Ichiri was immersed in his own world. He couldn't help but think in a strange direction. At the same time, he glanced at Izumi cautiously and found that Izumi was not looking at him. He felt relieved but also a little disappointed.

"If Izumi-san could just keep looking at me..."

"Izumi? Why are you and Mio…?"

Just as Izumi was looking for Tokinoya Shun in the store, the young man who was working saw Izumi and his sister, and took the initiative to come up to them. After looking at Izumi with a puzzled look, he looked at his sister worriedly.

"Brother Quan was worried that I would be too lonely at home, so he invited me to come out and relax. I was very curious about his job, so I asked Brother Quan to bring me here. Is that not okay?"

Before Quan could speak, Mio, who was sitting in a wheelchair, took the initiative to explain the reasons and blamed everything on herself. She looked at her brother with an uneasy expression, which made Tokinoya silent for a moment.

How could Tokinoya Shun, who had always felt guilty towards his sister, have the heart to blame her? He pursed his lips slightly and looked at Mio's feet, which were unable to move freely, with loving eyes.

"That's not the reason. I feel relieved to have Quan with you. It's just... I'm a little surprised that you would come."

Tokinoya Shun's eyes fell on Izumi, he nodded slightly at her, and began to explain to his sister.

186. I lost my way in life

The feeling of indebtedness towards his sister does not make Tokinoya obey his orders instantly, but in general matters, he will consider his sister's feelings first. He also knows that his sister is always alone at home when he and his mother go out to work, and she has a special desire to go out.

But in order to maintain the current family finances, even if he understood his sister's thoughts, he could not fulfill her wish. Izumi was now taking Mio out, and instead fulfilled a wish for Tokinoya Shun.

Izumi will take care of his sister Mio when he goes out. Tokinoya Shun also knows about this. Izumi had already talked to him about it before, but he didn't expect that the two of them would come to his workplace and there would be someone he was not familiar with.

His gaze lingered on Goto Ichiri. He had seen this girl in school before. He knew that she and Izumi were classmates, but he didn't expect that they would meet like this during the holidays.

"Ho...are you okay?"

Tokinoya Shun didn't know the relationship between this girl and Izumi, but he was a little concerned about the feelings of his friend whom he had known since childhood.

Inazuki Nozomi likes Chihayazumi.

This was not just something that he and Xiaodou, two bystanders, understood. Even Izumi, the person involved, knew it very clearly in his heart. However, his attitude towards Inazuki Nozomi was more...emphasizing their relationship as friends, which could be considered a tactful refusal.

But Inazuki Mochi did not give up. If she saw the girl standing next to Izumi, Tokinoya Shun didn't know what she would think...

"It's okay to meet, but I'm still working and don't have much time to accompany you. If there's anything you don't understand, please ask Quan. I'll continue working."

Accompanying his sister and browsing around this e-sports store, this is what Tokinoya Shun feels that as a brother he should do, but the more important thing is to ensure his own income and food and clothing first. He doesn't want to be misunderstood by the store manager as being lazy just because he is accompanying Mio. Since he is working here under someone's care, he also has to consider the store manager's feelings.

"Well, I just came to take a look at my brother's working environment. I won't stay here for too long. I will leave soon, right, Brother Quan?"

Mio, who was sitting in a wheelchair, smiled gently after hearing that her brother would not interfere with her and Izumi's activities. She looked at Izumi beside her, as if seeking confirmation.

If she stayed here for too long, then at night, there was a high probability that... no, she would definitely go home with her brother, so in order to stay at Izumi's house, she had to leave with Izumi before Tokinoya Shun got off work.

"At Mio's age, it's not suitable for her to stay here for too long. I'll stay here with her for a while and leave soon. Don't worry too much about Mio. I'll take good care of her."

Without refutation of Mio's words, Izumi looked at Tokinoya Shun, smiled and comforted his brother, and indeed met Tokinoya Mio's expectations.

"Well, thank you for your help. I'll leave Mio to you. I'll go to work first."

The words seemed to have some special meaning. Mio kept a faint smile on her face, but her heart was full of curiosity as she looked at Izumi beside her, wondering how he would react, but Izumi just smiled and nodded.

Without chatting for long, Tokinoya Shun continued with his work. But before leaving, he nodded slightly to Goto Ichiri as a greeting.

Goto Ichiri, who was standing behind Mio's wheelchair, faced a situation that she was not familiar with. She entered the ultimate autistic state. As long as no one deliberately talked to her, she would remain silent, saying and doing nothing, and she would not make any mistakes!

So, when facing Tokinoya Shun's nod, she just nodded back politely, and then her eyes fell steadily on Izumi.

In her heart, there is only Quan as the sun!

……

"I'm late, sorry. On the way here, something happened...ah, cat?"

In RiNG's recording studio, since Shiina Tatsuki had made an appointment in advance, Aine only needed to carry her guitar to the designated recording studio. But when she entered the recording studio, she found that in addition to Shiina Tatsuki, who was already working part-time in the store, Takamatsu Tomori had also arrived, as well as a girl with short white hair and heterochromatic eyes.

Kaname Rina just sat quietly on the floor of the recording studio, holding a guitar full of vicissitudes in her arms, humming a song that Aine didn't know, and didn't react at all to the name "cat" from her mouth.

“Good afternoon, Aine…”

After seeing Aine entering the recording studio, Takamatsu Tomo's eyes, which were originally confused and melancholy, suddenly glowed with a different light, causing Shiina Tatsuki, who had been deliberately trying to find topics to talk about with Takamatsu Tomo, to suddenly become lonely, and then he looked at Chihaya Aine with a "ferocious" look.

"The message was sent a long time ago, right? Why did it arrive just now?"

"I... um? Shuangshi isn't here either?"

"..."

Shiina Riki couldn't help but glance away and fell silent.

Because Shiina Riki's attitude towards her had always been unfriendly, Aine didn't notice the sourness in her words just now. She just looked around the recording studio and found that Nagasaki Soyo had not arrived yet.

I had clearly seen her send a message in the group earlier, saying she would come over...

Recalling what happened in the coffee shop earlier, Aine couldn’t help but frown slightly, looking a little worried.

"Well, she's probably on her way. Rather than worrying about this, you should familiarize yourself with the music before she arrives. There's something important to deal with, but it has to wait until everyone is here."

Shiina Riki's eyes fell on Aine, looking at the guitar on her back, thinking of Aine's guitar level, she couldn't help but frowned, and then her eyes fell on Kaname Rakuna, staring at this "stray cat" who would come to the store from time to time, she thought for a moment and shook her head lightly.

Noticing Shiina Riki’s shaking head, Aine’s already slightly frowned brows suddenly furrowed even deeper.

"It's a band full of former band members... I'm the only outsider..."

Facing the "difficulties" that Shiina Riki had been harassing her these days, as well as the somewhat abnormal reaction of Nagasaki Soyo, Chihaya Aine pursed her lips slightly, took out her guitar silently, and prepared to familiarize herself with the music score provided by Shiina Riki before Nagasaki Soyo arrived.

"Are you late? Sorry, I got into some trouble along the way."

Just as Aiyin was familiarizing herself with the music score alone in a corner and the others were staring at it in a daze, Nagasaki Shoyo arrived at the recording studio, opened the door, and noticed the subtle atmosphere in the room...

187. Doesn’t the pronunciation of “一生” sound a lot like “一起”?

If she just relied on a normal job, Nagasaki Soyo didn't think she could earn 10 million in a short period of time. Even if she went to college and graduated from a prestigious university, she didn't think she could easily get a job with an annual salary of 10 million.

So, after she thought about it carefully, she suddenly thought of a difficult but possible way to achieve her goal...

Nagasaki Soushi entered the recording studio, and as usual, she smiled at her bandmates who had arrived in the studio before her. Her eyes paused on Shiina Tateki and Takamatsu Tomori, and then she noticed the 'stray cat' who had appeared before, a girl named Kaname Rana.

"This kid's guitar is amazing..."

Then she looked at Chihaya Aine who was familiarizing herself with the music score in the corner, and pursed her lips slightly.

'If this child is here, it doesn't matter if Aiyin stays in the band. As long as she can join the band... and become a first-class band and gain enough attention, then whether it is 10 million... or more income, it is not impossible.'

Even though Nagasaki Soyo herself does not have much confidence in becoming a first-class band, this is the only solution she can think of now!

"Um...are you okay?"

Noticing that Nagasaki Soyo had also arrived at the recording studio, and recalling her unusual reaction from before, Aine's gaze fell on Nagasaki Soyo's face. Even though she had used concealer, she could still vaguely see some dark circles around her eyes.

She certainly didn't get enough rest last night.

"Hmm? I'm fine. Thank you for your concern. Although I learned about some unexpected things, it didn't affect me too much. I have already prepared myself mentally. Instead of that, let's continue with our practice. By the way, Li Xi said earlier that there was something important, right?"

"..."

Chihaya Aine was looking at Nagasaki Soushi, but Nagasaki Soushi avoided Aine's gaze and turned to look at Shiina Tatsuki with a smile.

"Well... Actually, there was a band that was supposed to perform the day after tomorrow, but they suddenly withdrew from the live show. When they were considering who to let perform, someone recommended us. So, this will be our first live show. Is that okay?"

When asked about this by Nagasaki Soyo, Shiina Riki was silent for a moment, then she looked around the recording studio and then her eyes stayed on Takamatsu Tomo's face. She recalled what happened before the band disbanded and was worried that this incident would make Takamatsu Tomo resist.

"..."

As expected, after hearing what Shiina Riki said, Takamatsu Deng lowered his head.

Just as Shiina Riki thought, after she heard that she was going to participate in a live performance, she thought of the comments she had received on the Internet that she was "working too hard", and that after that live, Toyokawa Shoko suddenly reduced the number of practice times, and... decided to quit the band.

She was worried that if she participated in the live performance, it would be like last time and the band would disband again.

After hearing what Shiina Riki said, Chihaya Aine also looked embarrassed. She thought about her current level. If she participated in the live and played songs that she was not good at at the moment...

"Participate!"

Surprisingly, before Chihaya Aine could figure out how to refuse, Nagasaki Shoyo agreed without hesitation, becoming the most proactive one among the crowd.

"Eh?"

Aiyin looked up blankly, while Nagasaki Shoyo was facing Shiina Tatsuki with a slightly absent-minded look in his eyes, and it was unknown what he was thinking about.

Faced with the fact that Nagasaki Soyo, who had accepted her invitation and formed the current band and had always been easing the atmosphere of the band, suddenly became so proactive that Chihaya Aine fell silent for a moment. She could refuse Shiina Riki, but she couldn't directly refuse Nagasaki Soyo's request.

Sitting in the recording studio, Kaname Rina was just holding a guitar, looking at the depressing atmosphere in the recording studio. Her eyes fell on Takamatsu Deng's face. She stared at him for a moment, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.
