Substitute Toyokawa Shoko, you can become stronger by breathing

Chapter 60 I think you are also a succubus, Xiaolian (Five in One)

Renji Kujo stood in front of the bathroom mirror, looking carefully at himself - or rather, Shoko Toyokawa's body.

Her blue twintails were slightly damp, a few drops of water trickling down her delicate face. She had just finished a shower, and a hint of steam still lingered on her arms.

The conversation I had just had with Ishikawa Shunya was still echoing in my mind.

——Oh, what a mess.

Kujo Renji smiled self-deprecatingly, but had to admit that this was a good thing for him.

With Ishikawa Shunya's loyalty, Vortex's resources will be at his disposal.

This also means that he doesn't have to rely on Yamamoto Ryuichi for everything, and he has more cards in his hand.

After all, the "enemy" he has to face is not only the traitor who "killed" him in his previous life, but also the hidden threat from the Toyokawa family.

He and Toyokawa Shoko can be regarded as a "community of destiny" in the true sense.

But a new problem also arises: How to explain all this to Shoko Toyokawa?

He knew Toyokawa Shoko was no fool. The conversation just now, those probing questions, that sudden silence... She must have sensed something, perhaps even begun to doubt his true identity.

How should he respond? Continue to tell lies? Or confess everything?

Both options are fraught with risk.

Shaking his head, he walked out of the bathroom and glanced at the clock beside the bed - it was already late at night.

He had school to go to tomorrow, and he had already taken enough days off because of band matters.

Although the school is unlikely to put any pressure on us,...

Putting down the phone, he sighed.

Have I taken on too many side quests?

The voice of Toyokawa Shoko rang out from my mind

"I didn't see you sighing even in such a complicated situation just now, so why are you sighing this time?"

Kujo Renji raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.

"I thought you were asleep."

"With so many things happening, who can sleep?" Toyokawa Shoko complained.

"Huh? Then why didn't you ask about Ishikawa?" Kujo Renji was really surprised this time.

"Is it any use asking further questions?" Toyokawa Shoko asked back, her voice a bit nonchalant. "You'll definitely find another excuse to get away with it."

Jiujo Liansi was slightly stunned.

"Since you don't want to talk about it, then let's leave it at that for now."

Toyokawa Shoko doesn't seem to care

"After all, we share a common destiny. I'll know one day. Wait until you're willing to tell me."

——Xiaoxiang, you have grown up.

Kujo Renji suddenly felt a mixture of comfort and emotion, and at the same time he breathed a sigh of relief.

It was best that Shoko Toyokawa didn't ask any further questions.

......

The next morning, Kujo Renji's phone lit up before the alarm went off.

The constant flow of messages in Ave mujica's group chat broke the tranquility of the early morning.

[Everyone! Urgent Notice!]

Sanjiao Chuhua's message was followed by a string of exclamation marks.

[Tickets for the Tokyo show are completely sold out!!! Official news: the 5,000-seat venue is completely packed!]

Next came the screenshot sent by Hachiman Kailing. Under the tweet from Ave mujica's official account, the entire page was filled with crazy messages from fans.

[Hailing]: Hmm...? This is too fast...

Chuhua: Yeah! Even I was surprised! Mr. Nakamura said the media is very interested, and three magazines are already planning to interview us!

[Ruomai]: Wow wow wow! We’re going to be famous!!! (≧▽≦)

[Chu Hua]: @XiangziXiangzi, did you see the news? The first show of the tour was so great, everyone is talking about your performance!

It seems that the performance in Yokohama did achieve the desired effect.

He quickly replied: "I see, everyone's hard work. We need to work even harder in Tokyo."

[Chu Hua]: Huh? Xiao Xiang actually replied!

As soon as this sentence came out, the group instantly fell silent.

No one said a word for a long time.

——Don’t say such words that destroy unity!

Kujo Renji complained in his heart.

Because of Ishikawa Shunya, he hasn't had time to respond to Ave mujica's group messages for several days... Of course, he was indeed in the wrong in this regard, and he didn't know how to respond for a while.

Chu Hua seemed to realize at this moment that he had said the wrong thing and quickly tried to make amends.

[Chu Hua]: Ah, what I mean is that Xiaoxiang has been so busy recently, but he still has time to check the group chat. It’s so touching.

——Sanjiao Chuhua, I suspect you are a traitor.

Putting down the phone, Kujo Renji decided to ignore this teammate who was suspected of being a pink-cutting black, but at this moment, the phone suddenly vibrated again.

Kujo Renji picked up the phone.

He raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw the message from the sender.

The early morning sunlight slanted in through the narrow windows of STARRY's underground Live House, leaving a golden streak on the floor.

Ijichi Xingge was sitting at the bar, looking down at the screen of her mobile phone, her fingers sliding gently across it.

She sighed and looked at her phone screen, where the text message she had just edited was displayed:

[Ms. Toyokawa, I'm Ijichi Hoshika from STARRY. I informed you last time that you agreed to come to the show this Saturday night after finishing your band. I wonder if your plans have changed?]

Her finger hovered over the send button, hesitant.

Is it a bit rude to inform this statement?

I always feel that it would be a bit presumptuous to just send it like this.

How should I modify the wording?

The blonde store manager lay on the table, with countless thoughts fighting in her mind.

"Should I send it or not..." Ijichi Hoshige whispered to herself

"What do you want to send?" A voice came from behind, scaring her so much that she almost threw her phone away.

PA-san had been standing behind her without her noticing, glancing at the phone screen curiously.

"Nothing!" Yidizhi Xingge hurriedly pressed the phone screen against her chest, her cheeks slightly hot.

PA Sang raised her eyebrows: "Oh? Are you sending an invitation to a special guest?" She deliberately dragged out her tone, with a teasing gleam in her eyes.

"I just...felt I should express my gratitude," Ijichi Xingge explained in a low voice, a hint of unnaturalness in her voice.

The PA immediately understood who the store manager was going to message. Seeing the other person's embarrassed expression, he couldn't help but teased:

"Thank you for what? Thank you for holding you in her arms that day?"

"I told you it was an accident!"

Ichichi Xingge's face turned even redder, and she felt a little angry and embarrassed:

"She was just trying to keep me from falling, and it's been so long, why are you still nagging about it?"

"Yes, yes, I understand."

PA-san made an 'OK' gesture and walked away with a smile.

Ijichi Xingge took a deep breath, resisted the urge to beat up the sound engineer, and looked at the phone screen again.

After hesitating for a moment, she closed her eyes, lightly tapped her fingers, and sent it out.

"It's been sent..."

She muttered quietly, then put her phone back in her pocket and started to tidy up the bar.

Less than a minute later, the phone vibrated.

Yidizhi Xingge hurriedly took out his cell phone, and his heartbeat quickened for some reason.

The screen displayed a reply from Toyokawa Shoko:

Thanks for the invitation. What time does it start on Saturday? I'll be there on time.

This brief and polite reply made Ichichi Xingge feel relieved, but at the same time, she felt a sense of inexplicable anticipation.

She had a very good impression of the shareholder lady who was as cute as a doll.

But maybe it’s because I’ve never encountered this kind of “strange” hierarchical relationship?

Miss Xingge didn't know how to get along with the other party.

Shaking her head, she quickly replied with the specific time and some details of the performance.

Then he put down his phone and sorted out the performance list.

.......

End of the band's rehearsal room.

"I still feel like the transition isn't smooth enough," Yamada Ryo said after thinking for a moment, "especially in the middle."

"Hmm...I think it's okay."

Ijichi Hongxia tilted her head, her golden side ponytail swaying gently with her movements:

"But if Liang doesn't think it's okay, then we can change it?"

In the corner of the rehearsal room, Goto Ichiri stood in his seat, his long pink hair almost covering his entire face, his fingers gently plucking the guitar, as if practicing some complicated chords.

"Everyone, everyone, guess what I brought~"

A vibrant voice came from the doorway, breaking the concentrated atmosphere in the room.

Everyone turned to look at the source of the sound—a red-haired girl walked in with a large paper bag in her hand and a bright smile on her face. Her red hair looked particularly bright under the lights of the rehearsal room.

It’s Ms. Guiqulaixie!

"Another dessert?"

Hongxia's eyes lit up and she immediately jumped out from behind the drum set.

"Uh-huh!"

The girl smiled and took out a few exquisite small boxes from the paper bag:

"I just passed by that new French pastry shop and it looked amazing, so I couldn't resist buying some."

As a qualified online dessert lover, I will definitely visit a newly opened dessert shop like this one.

——There are so many dessert shops to explore, Yu will tell you~

The photo the girl posted on Instagram after buying it has received nearly forty likes.

Goto Ichiri also approached cautiously, glancing at the dessert box with his eyes wide open.

In fact, she also wanted to buy the dessert from this restaurant. She had wanted to eat it when she saw it online before.

But every time she passed by there, the long line of people would quickly make her give up the desire to buy.

For someone with social anxiety, if he really had to squeeze in the crowd and wait in such a long line, he would probably be half dead.

"Pochi-chan, this is for you!"
