People are in animation, but they can connect to reality

Toyokawa Shoko must be trying to recruit people to form a band recently. Does she still have time to work? Asagi couldn't understand Toyokawa Shoko's arrangements.

The two of them seemed to have a tacit understanding and neither of them disturbed the other.

Toyokawa Shoko got off the train earlier than Asagi. When they reached their stop, she stood up, carrying her schoolbag, her body swaying as she walked. She looked tired, likely from a long day's work.

Asagi was about to stand up and help Toyokawa Shoko, but Toyokawa Shoko was very sensitive. When Asagi was about to stand up, Toyokawa Shoko's eyes had already shot over.

Shoko Toyokawa stared at Asagi with her big eyes, as if warning him, refusing his help.

Then, with Asagi feeling slightly worried, Toyokawa Shoko staggered off the train. With Toyokawa Shoko like this, what could Nagasaki Suyo do to win her back?

She's completely like, "Don't approach me, don't bother me." But maybe that's because Asagi hasn't shown the corresponding value.

Because, in the story, Toyokawa Shoko did seek help from her friends. "Hatsuka Triangle"? I think that's the name. Toyokawa Shoko was planning a band, and she even poached her childhood friend to join her.

In other words, Nagasaki Suyo had been seen through by Toyokawa Shoko. There was nothing about Nagasaki Suyo that was worth her attention. And indeed, Nagasaki Suyo's bass playing wasn't strong. Ultimately, My Go was just an entertainment band, so it was normal for the members to have varying skills.

Nagasaki Suyo does not come from a musical family and has been learning music since childhood.

After Toyokawa Shoko disappeared, Asagi took out his cell phone and sent a message to Nagasaki Motoyo.

"I saw Shoko Toyokawa, and she ignored me."

"Besides, I've seen what Toyokawa Shoko looks like now. Judging from her current state, I feel that you and Toyokawa Shoko have drifted apart."

It took a long time before Nagasaki Suyo replied to Asagi's message.

"I see."

Asagi didn't know what state Nagasaki Soyo was in when she said these four words, but Asagi could feel Nagasaki Soyo's gloomy mood.

But, this is not the end. Asagi hesitated, but finally decided to send that message to Nagasaki Suyo:

"I may not be able to help you reconcile Toyokawa Shoko and Nagasaki Suyo. But I have some hope of getting Toyokawa Shoko to kneel down and apologize to Nagasaki Suyo, just like Nagasaki Suyo knelt on the ground that night and begged Toyokawa Shoko to stay."

"Are you interested?"

Asagi looked at the message on his phone, waiting for Nagasaki Suyo's reply.

Chapter 62 Preparation

"I'm not interested. Because Xiaoxiang saved Nagasaki Suyo, Nagasaki Suyo also wants to save Xiaoxiang in another way."

Nagasaki Suyo wiped her tears and looked at her phone stubbornly. She would never do such a thing as revenge on Toyokawa Shoko. Because Nagasaki Suyo did not dare to ask for too much happiness, she just wanted to grab what she could reach with her hands.

Nagasaki Suyo couldn't let it go. She looked at her phone, the words on it so tempting: revenge on those who had hurt her, inflicting pain. For someone who'd been repressed, such a thing was like a delicious dessert. It was so tempting to try, to take a bite, and then to devour it.

However, Nagasaki Suyo told herself to be patient.

If I were to take revenge on Xiaoxiang because of this kind of thing, then I would also take revenge on my mother because of the same resentment, so I can't do that.

Asagi couldn't help but chuckle at the refusal from Nagasaki Suyo on his phone. This answer wasn't surprising to him, nor was it unacceptable.

But then again, the words came out. So far, Asagi has no good way to deal with Toyokawa Shoko. The older people get, the more stubborn they become, and those with strong self-esteem become even more stubborn, and Toyokawa Shoko is one of them.

How much would it cost to go from a stranger to a close friend that Toyokawa Shoko trusted? It would be better to just destroy it and start over.

Asagi thought about it and said to Nagasaki Suyo on the other side of the phone. This time he changed his words, but the method did not change much.

Because Asagi felt that this was something he could do, unless something unexpected happened.

Maybe there are other ways, but he doesn't know.

"Well, you're right. I agree with what you said. Moreover, I intend to support you in doing so. However..."

"I think this is part of saving Toyokawa Shoko. Pulling her down from that high and cold peak of self-esteem and letting her accept the fact that she is an ordinary person will benefit her. Only when Toyokawa Shoko realizes that she is an ordinary person can she truly let go of the knot in her heart and ask for help from her friends."

"What do you think, Nagasaki Suyo-san? When an ordinary person encounters difficulties, the first thing they would think of is to ask for help from their friends and family, rather than rejecting them harshly and staying away from them."

"I think Toyokawa Shoko's personality is somewhat distorted. If this were corrected, who knows, the cheerful, gentle, kind, and sunny Toyokawa Shoko of the past might suddenly reappear."

"what?"

Nagasaki Suyo rubbed her eyes and carefully read the message sent by Asagi. The words in the message were very strange, but Nagasaki Suyo actually agreed with it in her heart.

Nagasaki Suyo blinked, confused. A little devil in her heart began to awaken. The little devil opened his eyes and looked at his phone, his heart beating faster.

Is this okay? Nagasaki Suyo asked herself. She took a mirror from the table next to her and looked at herself in the mirror. She had long, soft, yellow hair and a pretty face. Nagasaki Suyo looked in the mirror. Her expression was not distorted, and there was no evil devil's smile on her face.

Nagasaki Suyo didn't know what to do. Just now, she had directly and decisively rejected Asagi's proposal, but now she hesitated. She looked in the mirror for a long time, finally picked up her phone, and typed into it.

"I want Xiaoxiang to cry and apologize, and regret breaking up. I want to prove that Xiaoxiang was wrong."

Great, it seems our goals don't conflict. Want to chat sometime? He looked at Nagasaki Suyo's answer on his phone, agreeing with it and nodded.

Then, Asagi typed a few words:

"I will help you."

"Ah."

Nagasaki Suyo replied to Asagi.

After returning to the rental house, Asagi watched some videos from his original world and then sorted out his belongings for the next day's trip. At Rupa's suggestion, the band planned a camping trip and a picnic.

It's already May, and it's been almost a month and a half since Asagi came into this world. He still hasn't had a chance to play and relax.

The next day, Asagi got up early, dressed, and went to the sink to brush his teeth and wash his face, then fixed his hair. Although the hairstyles of the high school boys here were almost the same, it didn't stop Asagi from feeling happy.

After packing up, Asagi packed some snacks into his bag. He had no idea what to bring on a picnic with the girls, especially since he was a minor camping with adults.

As the youngest of the group, Asagi didn't need to prepare much. For example, Roopa said she and Satoshi would prepare a tent. Roopa and Satoshi Ebizuka had camped before and had bought some picnic gear, so there was nothing to worry about.

As for the car, MMK will prepare it.

Although MMK seems to be in a very bad state, her interpersonal relationships are still good. At least she seems to be able to borrow a lot of things in this cold and indifferent metropolis of Tokyo.

Moreover, it is an item of considerable value.

As for An Heang, she was a wealthy woman from a wealthy family. She was responsible for the food and other things.

Then it was Asagi's turn. He realized he only needed to bring one person. The girls had everything ready, but looking around, they couldn't see any use for Asagi. This made Asagi seem a bit redundant.

After all, it's not Asagi's forte, so it's normal that he can't use it.

Money? Poor! So poor that I have to work part-time to survive.

The only advantage is that I can copy songs.

Oh, this will make me look useless. Asagi was helpless.

After packing up, Asagi shouldered her backpack and locked the door. They agreed to meet at Rupa and Ebizuka's house. Since the picnic utensils were all at Rupa and Ebizuka's, someone needed to bring them down. Perhaps this was where Asagi could bring her warmth and light.

Since Rupa and Ebizuka Satoshi lived not far from Yoshinoya, it was a very suitable meeting place.

Asagi took the tram to the meeting place. This time he did not meet Toyokawa Shoko on the tram. It was impossible to think about it. How could it be so easy to meet Toyokawa Shoko?

When we arrived at Rupa's house, it was 9: a.m. MMK had already parked his car downstairs, and next to him stood a strange girl who looked very reserved.

Now Nina is still trapped in the 80s, and her heart knot has not been untied, which makes her look a little weak, and she does not have the tough attitude that she shows in the anime.

Chapter 63 Fishing

"Hey, MMK-san, did you buy a new car?"

Asagi teased deliberately.

"Huh? You call this a new car?"

"Hello, my name is Jing Serina, I'm 17 years old. I'm a second-year high school student. I dropped out and am currently studying in Tokyo with the goal of going to university. I was very sorry that I took the liberty of attending your band's private party without even saying hello to you, at Ms. MMK's invitation."

"But I really want to see Ms. MMK's new band. Because I have always been a fan of Ms. MMK, a huge fan."

"Um, I'm Inoue Asagi, 16 years old, first year of high school."

"Asaki-kun, could you please move your things down?" Upstairs, Rupa poked his head out of the window and shouted at Asaki downstairs.

"I'll be right there." After promising Rupa, Asagi turned to look at Nina and said with a smile,

"I'm sorry, I have to leave first. See you later."

After Asagi left, An and Ang leaned over to MMK's ear and whispered,

"As expected, MMK, your feeling is right. Asagi really cares about that child."

MMK looked at Nina, then at Asagi, making sure she also noticed that Asagi cared much more about Nina.

When Asagi entered the house, Rupa had already put the picnic utensils together and placed them in the living room. Looking at the picnic utensils on the ground, they were just a little heavy, not much.

The tent was folded into the bag, making it easy to carry. The barbecue grill was also installed.

Asagi easily carried the items down, though Lupa's size and strength meant she had no problem moving them. But Asagi had to play a role; this wasn't a free lunch.

Although Asagi also prepared some snacks, considering his tight living expenses this month, these snacks can be basically ignored.

The picnic location was by a clean river outside the city, about a three-hour drive from Tokyo. There were many rivers here with names like "chuan" (something-like river), and Asagi didn't know the names. However, the water was crystal clear.

May was a sunny, warm, and pleasant day. Rupa and Ebizuka Satoshi skillfully set up their tent and found a flat surface to spread their blankets. The tent wasn't big, just enough for three people; four would have been a bit cramped.

However, they were not staying overnight, and the tent was more for temporary rest, so there was no problem at all. Moreover, they could rest and take a nap on the blanket as well.

Moreover, when you come to the river, there is one thing you must do, catch fish.

There are many ways to catch fish. People who grew up by the river usually choose to catch fish with their bare hands or use violent and direct methods. Asagi can't do these, and his way of catching fish is still the traditional fishing method.

First, find a branch or stick, tie the line to it, and suck the hook in. In this way, a very simple fishing rod is ready.

However, fishing with this type of rod is more energy-consuming and physically demanding. It does not have a fish charm, and requires one to hold the rod in one hand and carefully feel the force of the fish biting the hook.

"Hey? Will any fish bite like this?"

An and Ang sat beside him, holding their cheeks, staring at the fishing line hanging from the water surface in a trance.

"With sincerity, even metal and stone can be broken. Do you understand?"

Asagi rolled his eyes. He was fishing intently. This style of fishing required a lot of concentration. Because the quality of the line and rod was so poor, the force of a fish biting the hook would be very weak when transmitted to his hands. If he was even slightly distracted, he might not feel the bite.

An Heang shook his head.

"don't know."

Don't understand? If so, Asagi needs to explain. You know, a long time ago, there was an old man who fished without bait, using a straight hook. Even with this, the fish were still stupid enough to take the bait. So, are there any stupid fish in Asagi's area?

"I'll tell you a story, and you'll understand."

Asagi began to think about Taigong Wang's fishing in the Wei River.

"Then I must listen carefully. After all, Asagi and I rarely spend time together alone. It seems to me that Asagi is always busy, and every time we meet, it's when everyone is present."

"rare?"

Asagi glanced at An Heang in confusion. He didn't think it was less. He had met An Heang yesterday, and sometimes they would chat on the phone. Chatting on the phone was considered being alone, wasn't it?

"I don't feel that way."

"Because I feel like you and I are very familiar. There's a feeling that no words are needed, everything is self-explanatory. I don't know if you feel this way, but even though we rarely meet alone, I still feel like we're very familiar. It's like being old friends. Even if I can't see you anymore, I won't forget you."

Asagi talked about his feelings towards An and Ang. Although he and 486 had spent the least time together in the band, they were quite familiar with each other.

In front of 486, Asagi can express his thoughts directly without any beating around the bush, including some not-so-good ideas.

Just like old friends, joking and chatting.

"So that's how Asagi impressions me."

An Heang tilted his head, thought for a moment, and then continued, "So, what's the story you want to tell?"

"Fishing in the Wei River, those who are willing will take the bait."

Hehe, in this book, there is also the story of Jiang Taigong fishing in the Wei River, but Taigong fishing was introduced from abroad after all, so many people don’t know this story.

"Once upon a time, there was an old man in his 80s who would go fishing every day at a very large river with his fishing rod lowered."

"Then what?" An Heang asked.

"But what was strange was that the people fishing with him caught fish every day, but Taigong didn't catch a single fish for several months."

"Oh? He's so pitiful. He's been hungry for several months and has no fish to eat." An Heang blinked, seeming to feel sorry for Taigong Wang.

"Then, the people around him were very curious about why Taigong couldn't catch any fish. So they secretly took Taigong's fishing rod to investigate. They found that Taigong was using a straight hook and hadn't even put any bait on it."
