Tokyo Heart Thief's Daily Life

Incredibly, Gao Songdeng found that he really liked that voice.

That voice, filled with strong will, seemed unwavering no matter what happened, and possessed a strength that made him yearn for it.

So Takamatsu asked, "Why?"

“Because I want you to live.”

He replied.

Very tough and unreasonable.

I clearly don't know him and can't even remember his face.

He probably didn't recognize himself, but he said he hoped to survive.

......But living is really painful.

I am a fish that cannot breathe, a worm hiding under a rock.

I can only live in peace by hiding in that small world.

But that world is too small, and everyone is living freely outside.

I also want to walk into the sunshine and play with those beautiful butterflies.

…but no.

Because I am just a small fry.

It's uncomfortable to leave the shade, and it's painful to be exposed to the sun.

I was born deviant and was broken from birth.

Dumpling bugs can't live in the world of butterflies. They'll just be annoying...

But I developed a desire to play with the butterfly, which only added to my troubles.

If I want to give up my desires, can I just indulge in laziness?

“But if you give up, you really won’t be able to play with butterflies anymore.”

He said firmly.

He seemed to be able to see through my heart and understand me better than I do.

Gao Songdeng doesn't understand herself, she is even afraid of herself.

Because I am just weird, I can never understand others and I always hurt others.

Although I wanted to work hard and do well...

But no, I failed again.

I hurt the beautiful butterfly again and made it fly away.

But I don’t even know what I did wrong, and I can’t change it.

“‘If only I could gather my tears before I grieve.’”

Gao Songdeng made this wish.

This way, you can cry whenever you want to.

You can do more than just stand there and watch the butterfly fly away.

I also want to be like everyone else, to cry, to fight, to beg the butterfly to fly back...

"[But you are not a butterfly, so how do you know if the butterfly will be willing to come back?]"

The man said some mean words that made her want to cry.

I feel that hard work will be rewarded and that friends who have left will change their minds.

This in itself is wishful thinking.

It is true that if you don’t work hard, you will definitely regret it.

But you must also know that even if you work hard, you may not get the desired results in many things.

The man did not unilaterally coax himself, but continued:

"[Fail once, ten times, a hundred times. Then keep trying a hundred and one times. Try until you can let go, then find new friends.]"

“Everyone is born alone and has to work hard to connect with others. And since you are still alive, you also want this kind of connection.”

"[Then you can't die. I won't allow you to die.]"

…He’s so tough and scary.

Gao Songdeng was a little afraid of him and felt that he was the same as Li Xi.

But his next words changed Gao Songdeng's mind.

He reached out his hand once again towards himself who wanted to continue sinking:

"If you're willing, I'll be your new friend."

"[My name is ●●, what is your name?]"

...Takamatsu Deng tried hard to recall.

She wanted to distinguish his appearance and name in the thick noise.

But it can't be done.

A dark shadow covered him, erasing his voice and name, making Gao Songdeng unable to remember them.

She could only remember her own response:

"'My name is Takamatsu Deng...Would you like to be my lifelong friend?'"

I don't want to experience the pain of loss again, so I made this willful request.

As long as the beautiful butterflies don't fly away for no reason again, I am willing to do anything.

......Then Gao Songdeng heard it, and the man burst into laughter.

She heard the laughter and her face turned red.

She wanted to burrow into the dirt out of shame and immediately wanted to take back her words.

But the man's answer was faster than hers:

“[I do. This is also my request.]”

"[To be honest, you are my one hundred and first effort. Can you be my friend for life?]"

""......Um!""

Gao Songdeng could feel the heat in his limbs and his own trembling.

It was alive and made her feel alive.

She tried hard to hold the man's hand, hugging it tightly like a life-saving straw, fearing that he would leave again.

This time, I must do better.

I will never let the butterfly be sad and fly away...

“............Huh?”

When Gao Songdeng wakes up, he will forget everything.

All memories were left on the other side and were not allowed to be brought into reality.

...It would be nice if I could collect my tears before I feel sad.

Then I can cry like the person I admire and become a human being.

She doesn't remember anything.

Only the warmth of the treasure that had once been obtained, and the biting cold that remained after it dissipated.

...Once again, I lost my friends.

-------------------------------------

"Nice to meet you, Takamatsu Touma-san. I'm a second-year student at Shujin, and my name is Luo Zhen."

......Gudong!

Gao Songdeng could clearly feel that his heart skipped a beat.

She was brought by Aine to a coffee shop called Leblanc, where she met the famous scumbag senior in the school.

Even a child as independent as Takamatsu Deng had heard some rumors about this senior in the class.

He was popular and had many girlfriends...she knew all of that.

And more importantly.

Gao Songdeng once saw with his own eyes that he and Xiangzi hugged each other.

The beautiful butterfly that had once been willing to be his friend nestled in his arms, looking very safe.

At that moment, Gao Songdeng felt an indescribable feeling and could only turn around and run away.

From then on, she didn't even have the courage to see Xiangzi again, let alone ask her why she left.

She just wishful thinking that she must not have done well enough to make Xiangzi angry.

That must be my fault. I blame myself for not being human.

And now, Xiangzi has a new friend...or boyfriend?

I am just a little bug in the mud and cannot disturb the butterfly.

So she took the initiative to avoid these two people and never bothered them again...until now.

When he heard the voice of this famous scumbag senior, Takamatsu Deng was panicked for a moment.

She felt familiar, but she didn't understand where this feeling came from.

She couldn't even figure out her own mind and was just trapped in a maze.

And in this awkward situation, the great Aine clapped her hands:

"Okay~! That's enough about introducing yourself, let's get down to business!"

"I called Senior Luo Zhen here this time to ask him to be a witness. Xiao Deng... I'm sorry!"

Aine suddenly lowered her head deeply.

The long pink hair that Gao Songdeng envied so much slid down from her shoulders smoothly like a bunch of silk.

She went on to say:

"I was the one who approached you about forming a band, but when you suggested we form a band together for life, I hesitated. I'm so sorry~!"

"But Xiao Deng, you have to believe me. It's not that I don't want to team up with you. It's just that the weight of 'a lifetime' is really heavy. We need to think more seriously about how to team up for a lifetime! That's what I want to talk about today!"

Dong...Aine put down her schoolbag.

She took out her glasses case from her bag and put on the glasses that she had always thought were too tacky and refused to wear at school.

Then she took out a folder and began to flip through it while Luo Zhen and Deng stared at her in amazement.

"I looked up a lot of information about bands, considering their feasibility. It turns out I hadn't realized we're still called the 'Big Girl Band Era'. It's amazing!"

"And then, there are some really hot girl bands right now. Like [Afterglow], [Roselia], [RAISE A SUILEN], and so on... They're all so hardcore! I stayed up all night catching up on their songs and even ordered several albums. I spent all my pocket money for the past few months on it!"

This woman actually made a PPT!

Luo Zhen was stunned!

Chihaya Aine, as expected, was the student council president in junior high school and then (tried to) study abroad in the UK!

As if she was giving homework to the teacher, she sorted out the information of several popular girl bands and even made statistical graphs of album revenue and number of special performances.

This of course overloaded Gao Songdeng's little head, which was buzzing and she didn't know what she wanted to say.

Chihaya Aine's little mouth kept chattering:

"I never really paid attention to rock bands before, I only listened to lighter pop music. Ah, [sumimi], you know? It's a high school girl group, just two of them. The lead singer, Mikado Hatsuka, is really pretty and handsome... Oh, sorry, that's not what we're talking about now."

Anyway, Aine expressed her own opinion:

"Among these popular girl bands, some have even performed at the Budokan less than seven months after forming! This is the era of big girl bands, and everyone loves them!"
