Tokyo Heart Thief's Daily Life

101. My mind, body, and music are all off the rails

Not to mention the bald uncle with a nice voice, Luo Zhen and the others didn’t really care much about him.

Although he was a politician who had changed his mind before, since Luo Zhen had made him repent, he had done his utmost.

Whether the politician’s past crimes can be made public is beyond Luo Zhen’s responsibility.

Just to be on the safe side, Luo Zhen took out his phone and opened the navigation app:

"Navigation object, Lion Boy Justice."

"[Entry subject: Shi Tong Zhengyi - target not found.]"

Oh oh...the brothers of Luo Zhen's Phantom Thieves finally felt relieved.

There is no longer a temple for Shitong Justice.

This has been confirmed by this magical navigation APP, so it should be true.

Although Luo Zhen always felt that this APP was suspicious and didn't want to trust it completely...but let's just leave it at that for now.

"Then everyone, let's disband for today."

After returning to the downstairs of Tokyo's most luxurious Hilton Hotel, Luo Zhen said goodbye to his companions:

"Everyone, please don't be late for school tomorrow. There's no need to rush the Phantom Thieves' new target; we can discuss and confirm it later. In short, we must adhere to the principle of unanimous agreement. For safety reasons, please do not use the navigation system to travel to another world without permission."

Takamaki An: "I see. Luo Zhenjun is really considerate. Thank you, Dad~?"

The cute mixed-race hot girl's best friend laughed heartily, then said that she had an appointment to go shopping with Shiho, and was the first to run away.

Long Si also said that he would go home before dark to avoid worrying his mother, and then said goodbye.

So then...

Luo Zhen originally planned to send the Fangze sisters home as usual, and then go back himself.

"......(clamp)"

"......(hug)"

But for some reason, the two sisters seemed to have been prepared and held his arms tightly and refused to let him go.

This made Luo Zhen a little confused:

"What's the matter? Is there anything else to do?"

Fang Zexia's eyes were as charming as silk. "Brother Luo Zhen~, don't you think it's a shame to just leave like this after a rare visit to Xi●Dun for a meal?"

"That's it!"

Sumire fanned the flames, "Although my family occasionally eats here, I've never stayed in a room at this hotel. I hear it's so luxurious, many people who visit Tokyo have to stay here to get their money's worth, right?"

Yoshizawa Kasumi: "And... we just happened to have booked a luxury suite today, right?"

The adolescent girl, who could no longer hide her sly smile, took out her cell phone and showed Luo Zhen the reserved room number.

This shocked Luo Zhen greatly:

"When did you do this? Was it planned long ago? And how much does it cost..."

Yoshizawa Sumire: "It was our mom who sponsored us. She's always been very supportive and said that girls need to be proactive to capture a man's heart... Have you been captured by us, Senior? (=?ω?=)"

......It would be strange if he could answer with a single word "no". Luo Zhen was completely being played around by these two sisters.

And indeed, Luo Zhen argued in his heart:

Taoxiang and I can be intimate every day, but the two sisters have to go to school and train, so they don’t have much time to spend together at school.

Then occasionally, rarely, intermittently, irregularly... adding a little meal should be quite legitimate, right?

"...I have a part-time job tonight."

Luo Zhen made excuses, but in fact he had already reached out and hugged the sisters' amazingly slender waists.

He continued:

"I have a part-time job, so I can't stay too long. ...Two hours at most, OK?"

“【OK（<ゝω・）~☆】”

The sweet laughter of the two sisters buried in Luo Zhen's arms was enough to make one's bones go soft.

So, athletes really have an advantage in this regard... Luo Zhen also needs to continue training!

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

So, two hours and thirteen minutes later...

"—I'm sorry I'm late!"

Luo Zhen, who didn't even have time to tidy up his hair, rushed into LiveHouse [Various Artists] with a very rock and roll wet hair.

The little angel Hong Xia, who was preparing to open the shop, waved and greeted him:

"Good evening, Master Luo~. It's okay, it's not too late."

"Why are you so wet? It didn't rain today."

Luo Zhen: "...I got drenched by water from a high altitude. Don't worry about it."

The man who had no time to blow dry his hair after taking a shower lied with his eyes open and quickly got into work mode.

He has just started working at [Stars] and has also taken Yamada Ryo as his master. He doesn't want to be regarded as an unruly man who plays around.

Fortunately, Yamada Ryo seemed to have arrived later than him, and Sister Xingge had already crossed her arms and said that she would deduct his salary.

The work of [Stars] is basically the preliminary layout and cleaning, and then confirming the inventory of all beverage machines.

When guests arrive, you just need to greet them, sell tickets, and make drinks as needed.

This set of operations is much simpler than that of an ordinary restaurant. There are not even any drinks that need to be mixed. All juices and beers are ready.

Considering the amount of labor, although the salary given by Sister Xingge is very low, it is actually not that unscrupulous.

However, Luo Zhen still has something to say:

"So selling a drink for 500 yen is really faster than robbery. Can't we consider adding some more products? Like parfaits or something."

Yamada Ryo: "If there's a budget, it should be possible. But it's unrealistic. Xingge is incredibly stingy and won't agree to it."

After the show started, most of the customers were focused on the band's performance, and the counter became idle.

Hongxia kindly helped stand on the stage, allowing Yamada Ryo and Luo Zhen to go to the lounge to practice bass.

Luo Zhen told Yamada Ryo about some difficulties he encountered in self-study, and then asked her to demonstrate to him.

In order to see her fingering clearly, the two of them sat side by side on the narrow, broken sofa, with no physical distance between them.

Yamada Ryo is not like an ordinary delicate girl.

She had no resistance to Luo Zhen, a man of the same age, and was as cool as ever.

After demonstrating it to Luo Zhen, she looked at his somewhat unfamiliar but very solid movements and nodded with satisfaction:

"Luo Zhen, you're so talented. Is it because you've been living with Momoka-san, a professional musician, and have been influenced by her? You're clearly a beginner, but you're learning so quickly, much better than I thought."

Luo Zhen smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment. I'm embarrassed."

To be honest, Luo Zhen is quite confident in his learning ability.

When beginners learn to play a musical instrument, they only need to recite from the book. He only needs to remember the fingering, which is not difficult.

Especially since he started dating the twins and Momoka and officially established a relationship.

Luo Zhen felt that not only his physical strength had improved.

Even vision and hearing become more sensitive, and hand-eye coordination is better.

This is probably the benefit of being in love... maybe?

I just hope that I won’t overindulge myself and get into trouble in the future. Luo Zhen is also considering whether he and Taoxiang should control themselves.

"stare......"

As Luo Zhen followed Yamada Ryo's instructions and climbed the grid, and asked her to stare at him and correct his finger posture, Luo Zhen felt that her gaze was becoming more and more subtle.

He persisted for a while, but finally couldn't help it:

"Well, great Master Yamada? If you have anything to say, just tell me. Is there anything wrong with my movements that needs correction?"

"No, not really." Yamada Ryo supported his cheek.

Because she came to work after finishing school, she was still wearing her school uniform.

Unlike the cool sister impression she gives people, Yamada Ryo wears her school uniform very formally.

Even her skirt wasn't shortened much, just above her knees.

This length is longer than that of most high school girls who pursue fashion. Even Hong Xia's skirt is shorter than hers.

In addition, she was wearing non-transparent high-D pantyhose, so her actual appearance was almost not exposed. When she didn't speak, she really looked like a serious and cold young lady.

But as she raised her eyes and shifted her gaze from Luo Zhen's fingers to her eyes, she was ruined as soon as she opened her mouth:

"I was just wondering if playing with Rock Girl with your fingers could also help you gain experience with instruments. Otherwise, it's hard to explain why you're so talented. Did you learn this when you were Momoka-san?"

Luo Zhen: "Watch your words! If Xingge and PA hear this, they'll kick me out!"

Even Luo Zhen, who is now considered experienced, was choked by Yamada Ryo's sudden cold and brutal words!

But the girl in question seemed completely indifferent, blinking in confusion:

"Why are you shy? You and Sister Taoxiang have become gods, right? You have a good time every day, right?"

"When it comes to rock 'n' roll, it's all about smoking, drinking, and playing with women. Especially since you're a fan of Sister Taoxiang, she must be asking you to do all sorts of extreme things every day, right? ... I heard that steel wool and other things were popular a few years ago. Don't worry, I won't spread rumors. Tell me honestly, have you ever..."

"Master, let's learn quickly."

Luo Zhen took the photo calmly, resolutely ignoring Yamada Ryo's dirty jokes which were on the same level as those of the dirty uncles at the table, and only talked about business.

This made Yamada Ryo pout a little bored.

But she soon smiled again.

While watching Luo Zhen climbing the grid, she suddenly spoke again:

"Luo Zhen, are you interested in joining our band?"

"Perform on stage with me and Hong Xia, at [Stars]."

......This made Luo Zhen a little flattered. He didn't expect to receive such an invitation.

He pressed down the vibrating strings of the bass, cutting off the almost inaudible muffled sound:

"Me and you? Isn't that a bit too much of a compliment to me?"

"I'm just a beginner, I've only been playing the bass for a couple of days. Besides, you and Nijika are both JKs, so adding a man into the mix doesn't fit in with the current trend of big girl bands. Besides, you and I play the same instrument, and most bands don't need two basses, right?"

"They are all minor problems." Yamada Ryo answered neatly.

Her emotions are really stable, without any hesitation:

"I can switch to guitar, double up as lead vocalist, and be responsible for both songwriting and lyrics. I'm definitely not as professional as Taoxiang, but I'm still a Hexagon Warrior, just a little younger than her... including my age."

Well, Taoxiang can't hear this. That woman will burst into tears.

Indeed, Luo Zhen only then realized that Yamada Ryo was just a small version of Taoxiang.

She can play all kinds of musical instruments, write lyrics and compose music, and has her own persistence in musicality. She has even fallen out with her band members because of this issue before.

The biggest difference between her and Momoka is that Yamada Ryo comes from a wealthy family.

According to Hong Xia, the musical instruments in her home collection could fill up an entire room, and playing in a band is purely a hobby.

This is enough to make the bitter peach wine go down your throat and cause heartache. There is such a huge gap between interest and work.

Therefore, Yamada Ryo is neither consumed by internal friction nor entangled.

She just wanted to, so she spoke:

"I think it would be fun to form a band with you. What the audience thinks is their business. Mixed-gender bands just have different tracks, there's no rule that they can't mix."

"Also, Hongxia and I haven't considered pursuing professional careers... That's not quite right. We haven't considered pursuing professional careers yet. Of course, if there's an opportunity, we'd definitely give it a try, provided it doesn't affect our musicality."
