However, Ruo Ye Mu didn't want to lose this part of "himself" in his heart, so he resolutely chose to find Shimizu Rin, who was composing music at home, to help.

Tokyo, Ochanomizu.

Shimizu Rin brought the confused Wakaba Mutsu back to Ochanomizu and once again came to the musical instrument store where Ijichi Hoshika once worked.

But it's a pity that the clerk this time is not the older sister that Shimizu Rin knows, but a young newcomer on guard duty.

Suddenly, just as Qing Shui Lin began to appreciate the dazzling array of musical instruments in the store, she vaguely felt someone gently pulling at the corner of her clothes.

She turned her head and happened to meet Ruoye Mu's puzzled gaze.

"Why did you bring me here?"

Wakaba Mu didn't understand.

Didn’t you say you would take me to find Mortis?

Why did Rin suddenly come back to this music store? Besides, it was obviously not the time for street performances, right?

"the reason is simple."

Qing Shui Lin chuckled and touched Wakaba Mu's head, telling her not to worry so much, and then patiently explained:

"I want to buy Mortis a guitar as a gift so that she doesn't have to borrow Mu's guitar when she learns to play guitar in the future."

After saying that, Qing Shuilin turned around and continued to select the guitars from the wide variety on the wall. She said to herself:

"A guitarist should have his own guitar. After all, it is the way for guitarists to express their feelings."

"In fact, I could already tell she was not used to playing guitar when I was teaching her a few times before...Mortis didn't seem to be used to using Mu's guitar. Maybe she wanted a guitar of her own."

Ruoye Mu listened to Qingshui Lin's words in confusion, her head was dizzy. Obviously, she was still unable to understand the other meaning of Lin's words.

but!

Just because he didn't understand didn't mean Mu couldn't interpret what Rin was saying in a different way.

"Does it mean that if I buy Mortis a guitar that belongs to her, Mortis will be willing to come back?"

If Ye Mu didn't say this out loud, because she wasn't sure whether Lin's meaning was the same as she guessed, she could only follow Lin silently.

Then, after the two girls finished their walk, Qing Shui Lin's face couldn't help but look a little anxious.

"I really can't pick out the guitar Mortis wants... How about you choose it, Xiaomu?"

"I?"

Wakaba Mutsu pointed at herself with her index finger. She didn't think her understanding of guitar was deeper than Shimizu Rin's.

Is it really okay to choose a guitar myself when even Shimizu Rin can't?

"Don't worry, Xiaomu, just choose according to your heart." Qingshui Lin encouraged: "And I believe that when Mortis sees a guitar he likes, he will come out and remind Xiaomu."

"......it is good."

Ruo Ye Mu nodded slightly when she heard this. Hope was now in front of her. The girl didn't want to do nothing like the night CRYCHIC disbanded, watching the tragedy of the band happen helplessly.

And didn’t Shimizu Rin say that if she had a favorite guitar, Mortis would definitely appear to remind her!

Ever since.

Wakaba Mutsu left Shimizu Rin's side and walked alone to the corner of the musical instrument store.

She started from scratch to select the perfect guitar for Mortis.

"If Mortis has a guitar he likes, please let me know."

The girl prayed like this, hoping that her heart would be received by Mortis.

Shimizu Rin stood quietly beside the counter, watching Wakaba Mutsu pick out the guitars in the music store one by one, with hope in her eyes.

to be frank.

Shimizu Rin didn't know if this method would work on Mortis.

But at least in Rin Shimizu's previous life, her guitar master opened the world of guitar to young Rin in this way, and she fell in love with playing guitar from then on.

Now Shimizu Rin is considered half of Mortis's master. Just now when she was in the cafe, she suddenly thought of this method and wondered if she could imitate it on Mortis.

Being able to succeed is naturally the best case scenario.

She also has other ways to deal with failure.

Never underestimate the life experience of an adult guitarist!

Finally, time passed slowly for a few minutes, and Ruoye Mu finally stopped in front of a burgundy guitar.

The girl stood there in a daze, not moving.

Seeing this, Qing Shui Lin hurried forward. She first carefully looked at the burgundy guitar in front of her, which had a somewhat flashy appearance, and then raised her eyes to look at Wakaba Mutsu who was staring at the guitar in a daze.

"Does Mortis like this guitar?"

"......Um."

Wakaba Mu's tone suddenly became a little strange, but Qingshui Lin's attention was all focused on the guitar that Mortis chose at the moment, and she didn't notice that something was wrong with Wakaba Mu beside her.

"It certainly seems like a good fit for Mortis."

Shimizu Rin looked at the guitar on the shelf seriously. She subconsciously looked up at the price and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Since Rautism started to make profits, Shimizu Rin now has enough money in her pocket to afford the price of this burgundy guitar without having to undergo surgery.

"..."

Ignoring Wakaba Mutsu's complicated expression, Shimizu Rin picked up the burgundy guitar on the shelf with both hands and walked carefully to the counter to pay.

Any guitar is worthy of Shimizu Rin's careful treatment, and Shimizu Rin can handle any guitar, but Santa is still the one that suits her best.

After paying the money, Shimizu Rin walked towards Wakaba Mutsuki carrying a brand new black guitar case, and then handed the guitar case to Wakaba Mutsuki who was still in a daze in front of her.

When Ruoye Mu looked down at the precious and thoughtful gift in front of her, the girl stretched out her trembling hand and slowly took the gift from her friend.

"Um...Mortis asked me to thank Rin."

"It's okay, just treat me to matcha parfait next time."

Rin Shimizu didn't care that a gift cost her so much money. She earned money to play the guitar better and pursue her guitar dream. Her other expenses were not high.

Besides, buying a guitar is undoubtedly a necessity for Rin Shimizu, even if it is just a gift for Mortis.

As long as the tuition problem of Tsuki no Mori is solved, Shimizu Rin has always been a spendthrift. Although she doesn't like collecting various basses like Yamada Ryo, Shimizu Rin's expenses on other guitars besides buying guitars are also not low.

However, at this time, Shimizu Rin had already noticed that something was wrong with Wakaba Mu. After thinking for a moment, she invited Mu to perform again.

"While we still have some time today, Mu, are you interested in performing on the street with me?"

"it is good."

Wakaba Mu accepted Shimizu Rin's invitation without any hesitation.

The girl was worried that she hadn't performed with Rin for a long time. Now that Shimizu Rin took the initiative to invite her, how could she refuse?

As for the burgundy guitar in her hand that Rin gave to Mortis?

very simple.

Wouldn’t it be enough to just ask the driver in the villa to make another trip?

The two girls waited until the expressionless driver took the guitar case from Miss Wakaba's hand, and then they set off to the area near Ochanomizu to find a place suitable for street performances.

The main purpose of this performance was to relax Wakaba Mu. Shimizu Rin did not consider the amount of traffic near the performance venue, and quickly selected an open space as the venue for the street performance.

"Rin, what are we going to play this time?"

There was no trace of the previous confusion on Wakaba Mu's face. As she was about to perform on the street with Shimizu Rin, the girl's interest could not help but rise.

"Then let's play 'Same Blue'. We happen to have two guitarists. Can you play this song?"

"Same Blue", the third original song released by Rautism, has also become a hit on the Internet and is popular on major websites and exhibition halls.

"Yes...popular bands, like the recently popular online group Rautism. I've been practicing their songs..."

"That's good."

Shimizu Rin spoke very naturally. The girl's calm tone made it impossible to detect any abnormality in her words. The girl had experienced the situation of having her online combination box opened face to face by an acquaintance countless times.

Only Xiao Gu Du couldn't control his facial expression when he heard others praising Rautism. The professional guitarist never showed his immature side.

Later, the two girls decided on all the repertoire for the street performance and took out their guitars.

After adjusting the rented audio equipment, they immediately prepared to start today's performance.

“I couldn’t sort out my emotions in the morning.”

"I just stuffed them randomly into my backpack."

"I wanted to express my feelings alone at night"

"Deep in my heart, there was an unbearable pain."

“Those times that seem so close and so far away are dizzying”

"Infected by the temperature difference between loss and excitement"

“It makes this feeling even heavier.”

There were not many spectators for this performance. After all, the venue chosen by the two girls was just a sparsely populated square.

During the performance, Wakaba Mu's gaze remained on the white-haired girl singing in front of him, his eyes flickering.

......

......

Late at night, inside the villa.

Wakaba Mu's bedroom was no longer dark.

A pure white night light illuminated the surroundings, and at the same time, a slender black shadow quietly appeared in the bedroom.

That is the shadow of a girl.

"I'm sorry, Xiao Mu."

Mortis hugged the burgundy guitar he had just gotten today tightly in his arms, looked apologetic, and muttered to himself towards the empty space in front of him.

"It's okay...but why didn't Mortis respond to me before?"

Wakaba Mu's figure quietly appeared beside Mortis.

As always, they stayed with each other through this dark night.

But Mortis had already lowered her head silently. She avoided Mu's probing gaze as if to escape, and did not dare to look directly at the confused Mu.

"Because, I...I feel a little weird."

"strangeness?"

Ruoye Mu murmured this familiar word, his expression still as calm as before.

"Why does Mortis think he's weird?"

"My emotions...are different from others."

I have been confused for so many days.

It wasn't until today when Mortis received the guitar given by Shimizu Rin that he suddenly came to his senses.

At this moment, she finally felt relieved and spoke out her heart.

The oncoming emotions are like a flood about to burst the dam, and I vent my emotions without reservation.

There was silence for a moment.

For a long time, Ruo Yemu stared at her guitar not far away, then looked at Mortis in confusion: "Does Mortis know what emotion is?"

"I know!" Mortis stood up from the ground holding the guitar.

The guitar in her arms seemed to give her endless courage, and she continued:

"I learned about human emotions from Mutsu and Rin..."

"But how can a doll have its own emotions?"

"Just like what you once asked when you were little, Xiaomu: Can dolls have their own emotions?"

"I now have the same emotions as Xiaomu."
