She smiled in relief, "Yeah, that's right, Yukari is so amazing, I can't say things like that."

"Life is different, after all. As for the origins, Qing is a frank and kind kid. Every time I see his eyes, I want to chat with him. Once I get used to communicating, it's very helpful at work. Many things can be solved with just a few words..."

[Showing off that kid again.]

Ruisui listened quietly. She had a good impression of the child and wondered when she would meet him again.

After being comforted by Yukari for a while, I felt much better.

She finally said, "But there's no need to rush. There's still plenty of time in the future. Just treat it as a vacation. It's not too late to wait for Xiangzi to come back and go see her father together. Have fun! I'll treat you! Okay, it's another me, but I'll pay you back later."

Mrs. Toyokawa's smile widened a little, and her body relaxed as she looked outside. "Well, but I also got some old things here, so you don't have to be polite with me."

"Of course, we're close friends. By the way, why don't you try playing some musical instruments? You'll learn more and have something in common with the kids."

"Okay."

"It seems to be raining these past few days. Let's go to Shimokita when it clears up. Ochanomizu, Shibuya... People here really love bands."

"Is it too 'lively'?"

"Don't think about that right now. At least for now, do whatever you want. The kids aren't home yet, and your husband is recovering. What's that word... Rock! There's nothing wrong with some rockin'!"

Yukari recalled the time she spent in the car with her child on a rainy day, and she cheered up, clapping her hands:

"Singin', We will rock you!"

Although the meaning is not quite right, the mood is conveyed.

Mizuho Toyokawa followed along and clapped the beat, singing the entire song.

"Well, I want to try the drum set."

……

The younger generation, unaware of the rocking out of their elders, just returned to where they were in the morning.

I went to Xiangzi's company and found that the company seemed to be going bankrupt and even the building was about to be demolished.

Of course, there were no formalities. After asking, Qing took Xiangzi's things away and no one stopped him.

The workstations are rotated, and wet wipes and throat lozenges are kept in the small drawer. The only personal belongings are work badges.

Qing took it away because he felt that he could use it to amuse Xiang.

On the way, I found a place to check the balance of the card.

Qing let out a sigh of disappointment.

This time the difficulty of survival has been reduced to custom.

Although I gained money, I also lost my worries.

——That’s not the case.

He still has to work in the exhibition hall at Sister Xingge's house. Some things cannot be calculated in terms of money.

Besides, this is not his money and he has to pay it back, so he feels a little hesitant to spend it.

"As for musical instruments... ask Xingge and the others where it would be best to go. For now, we should find a place to stay near Shimokita."

Given a choice, Qing didn't want to squeeze into a cramped rented house with his uncle - if it were Xiang, he would consider it.

A short break on the journey: 243, moving

A lot happened on this rainy day.

Some people search over and over again in the corners of their memories to find the contact information of their friend's father. After calling, they get the response of "I know, thank you" and then hang up in a hurry and start to doubt their lives.

Some people paid tribute (? ) to their deceased husbands (? ) and then played guitar alone for a whole day.

Some people ran around in raincoats but got nothing.

Others, after purchasing daily necessities, leisurely ordered a bunch of junk food and were stared at by girls their own age.

At this time in Shimokitazawa, the healthy and happy child Ijichi Hongka was practicing drums in her room.

She ordered pizza for lunch because breakfast was so impressive that her high school student's cooking skills pale in comparison. She lost her appetite when she thought about the food she cooked, so she could only wash it down with some rich-flavored food.

"This is what they call 'going from extravagance to frugality is difficult'. Luckily it was just one meal. If it had been longer, something terrible would have happened."

During the break, Hongxia complained that she felt a kind of "gravity".

The friend next to me nodded and said, "The taste is okay. The most terrible thing is the 'feeling'. Although my parents don't cook at home, I can taste the taste of home as soon as I eat it. It's a pity that I didn't come here at the beginning."

"Don't talk if you're eating white rice. Also, your sense of taste is starting to get weird, Liang."

Hongxia's eyes turned disgusted.

"It's only the first day of the month, and you've already spent it all?"

"I really need that bass..."

"You don't want to live anymore?"

"Don't worry, I've calculated it. I'll just drink water and eat wild vegetables on a regular basis, and then come to Hongxia's place for a meal every week or so. I didn't expect 'my' cooking skills to be so good."

A girl named Yamada Ryo mentioned another "Ryo". When they met in the morning, she felt a special characteristic of him: just like her, he was not very similar to people in modern society.

It can be simply described as a "weirdo".

"Does Hongxia have his contact information?"

"What do you want to do?"

"I seem easy to talk to. If I knew where he lived, maybe I could just go over and get some food and drinks. At least I could get through this month in peace before he gets tired of me."

Ijichi Hongxia showed a very rare rude expression, the disgust on her face was so strong that it could be seen, "The worst, so disgusting!"

However, it must be said that according to the social Darwinism analysis that was popular for a period of time, if a person with obvious defects in social life can survive, then she must have special talents to make up for her defects.

Just as a bad man can always find a good woman, a useless person in society who lives a good life can definitely find a useless person maintenance machine or even a useless person manufacturing machine.

Yamada Ryo has a very high opinion of Qing.

"No," Hong Xia made the sign of the cross on her chest with a drumstick, "I wouldn't tell you even if I had one!"

As they were talking, the cell phone on the bed rang, and Hongxia picked it up and took a look.

Unrecognizable avatar.

"What is this... Aroma Essence? It looks like perfume. Is it for sale?"

After clicking on it, Hongxia realized from the chat history that this was the account Qing had added in the morning. It had been the default avatar before, but it had been changed now.

"Your taste is totally unlike that of a young person..."

"Did 'I' send the message?"

"Okay, Ryo, let's stop here. You can just call him Nagasaki."

Yamada Ryo shook his head. "No, how should I put it? Calling your own name, Hongxia, can you understand that feeling?"

"I just feel weird."

The little angel ignored her and flipped through the messages.

"Huh? He's looking for a house nearby?"

Yamada Ryo's eyes lit up. "Nearby? Please let me do my part. If you can find it quickly enough today, I'll help clean up the house and then have dinner. Because of the rain, I have to stay until tomorrow, and then have breakfast..."

The nutrition from these meals is probably enough for her to survive for a week.

(Good children don’t learn this.)

"Flax falls, don't harass others."

Hongxia took her cell phone and got up to go to her sister's room.

"Sister, do you know where to rent a house nearby?"

……

"Thank you very much. Since there's nothing to move, just a quick cleanup will be enough. You can sit here. I brought the food. Let's celebrate together tonight."

Qing was very satisfied with this temporary residence.

It was an old-style apartment not far from Ijichi's house. It was a bit old, but full of life, which made Qing feel a little nostalgic.

The apartment is fully furnished with basic furniture - because large pieces of furniture are very troublesome to deal with, and the previous tenant was an acquaintance, so he just left them there after he moved out.

In fact, furniture such as refrigerators, televisions, tables and chairs may even appear in the wild.

The fact that it was settled so quickly was thanks to someone Ichichi knew; they delivered the keys even on a rainy day, and said it wouldn't be too late to complete the rental procedures after the weather cleared up.

Good guy.

Qing decided to go back and prepare some snacks as gifts.

Now, we have to entertain everyone who helped us - the sisters of the Ijichi family, the blue-haired girl named Ryo, and the drunkard carrying a box of Demon Slayer Wine.

It’s great that everyone is here.

"So why are you two here?"

Yidizhi Xingge curled his lips and said, "Watching the whole thing and waiting for the celebratory dinner?"

"No, I came here to give blessings." Yamada Ryo chose to conceal it temporarily for the sake of her plan to eat for free.

"Things taste better when eaten together, just like wine!"

The bassist, whose personality changes after drinking, raised the cardboard box.

"cheers!"

"Don't encourage children to drink!"

Sister Xingge hit her, then invoked her manager's privileges, ordering the two people who weren't employees, "Go clean up, and Qing can cook if she wants."

"All right……"

It's just cleaning, they should be fine...right?

No way.

A moment later, the drunk was thrown onto the sofa. You couldn't expect a drunk to do anything.

But she did play a role, this time bringing the bass called "Super Ultimate Shuten-doji EX".

"I don't know much, so I'll use music to express myself... Eh? Where's the equipment?"

"Sorry, I haven't bought it yet."

"Then I'll just play it casually."

Qing thought she was a master because she didn't use a pick to play the bass, but the kind used to play the shamisen - at first glance it looked a bit like the small spatula used to scoop ice cream at festivals.

Even if the bass strings are thick, it is still an exaggeration to be able to do this.

"Then let's just do it... Never mind, whatever..."

She began to sing a song here and there, and the "bang bang" sound of the bass was almost inaudible in her singing. It sounded a bit messy at first, but if you could follow her jumping song choices and match the lyrics, you would find it quite interesting.

"This guy also doubles as the lead singer for the three-piece band Sick Hack over in Shinjuku. He's the kind of guy who can't go on stage without drinking."

Ichichi Xingge was holding her forehead beside her.

"Why on earth did that introvert become like this... Yamada! Stop being lazy!"

"Okay~"

The blue-haired woman could only continue cleaning.

A short break on the road: 244, Celebration on a rainy day

"I thought you were staying at that friend's house."

"It's not very convenient and a bit awkward. Her father's condition is much better than expected, and he's cheered up after communicating with her."

He spent the whole morning tied up his hands and feet, carried him around, and even threatened with violence. After several courses of treatment, Qing believed that Uncle Fengchuan had returned to normal.

But I still have to visit him every day, help cook meals, and check for alcoholism.

"Anything else you need to do?" The blonde sister unwrapped a lollipop and stuffed it into her mouth. "Actually, I'm..."
