Just like the fuse of an explosive, if one person has problems, several other people who are related to him will also suffer. One person's misfortune leads to the misfortune of many people.
What's more, the girl in front of him was the originator of the "community of shared destiny" theory, and she has caused great harm to others.
"Okay, let's go. Is there anything you want to eat today, Rin?" Shoko Toyokawa chuckled.
This was the first time that Shoko Toyokawa had smiled in a few days.
Although her facial expression was a little stiff, it was easy to see the girl's inner joy and anticipation. At least her feelings were not rejected, right?
"I don't mind..."
As for dinner, as long as it is nutritious and can fill her stomach, Rin's basic requirements for food are not high.
Sometimes Rin would even forget to eat because of playing the guitar. It was common for a girl to eat only one or two meals a day.
"Then let's go to the store that Ryo and I always go to?"
A trace of nostalgia flashed in the blue-haired girl's eyes. That store seemed to carry some of her memories, so much so that she couldn't forget it now.
"Well, it's up to you."
Lin casually replied that she just wanted to finish dinner as soon as possible, and then went home to update the video of "The Desperate Guitarist" and quickly recover some blood.
The money earned from solo guitar performances alone could not support his shining future.
In response, Xiangzi stood beside Lin with an expression of indifference on his face.
She was feeling smug about Lin accepting her invitation, and a nice smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and her tired body and mind were quietly comforted.
Just letting go of the past...it's nothing serious...
It is enough as long as there are people worth remembering and accompanying who are willing to accept myself in such a terrible state.
Even if your life has collapsed in the past, there is at least one "her" who will not change because of you.
Totally enough.
It's good enough that this kind of relationship can be maintained. I don't have the right to expect too much. Now all the girl can do is continue to wait...
The time will always be ripe one day!
......
......
The two girls walked together at night and came to the restaurant they had been to before.
The sky was dark at night, and a cold wind was raging on the street outside the window. There were already few diners in the restaurant.
The restaurant was empty. Although it wasn't closing time yet, Rin and Shoko couldn't even see a few employees outside. It was completely silent.
A familiar store, familiar seats, familiar menu, and extremely familiar people in front of me.
Not long after the two girls sat down, a waitress with a helpless look on her face walked towards them with a menu.
The waitress obviously didn't expect that someone would come here to eat at this time, and she had only removed half of her makeup.
Shimizu Rin naturally took the menu handed to her by the waitress, nodded and thanked her, then she carefully chose her dinner for today.
"Xiangzi, what would you like to eat?"
Because she was worried that Xiangzi would order a completely vegetarian meal for herself, which would be completely unnutritious, Lin felt it necessary to ask Xiangzi's opinion.
I've been so tired and haggard these past few days, how can I not take good care of myself?
You have to spend your salary occasionally.
"Vegetarian set meal?"
As expected, Toyokawa Shoko once again offered the familiar set meal. Upon hearing this, Rin covered her face helplessly and complained mercilessly:
"How much do you like the vegetarian meal, Xiangzi? The food in this meal is not nutritious at all. If you eat it for a long time, your body will collapse... Hurry and change it."
"Then...let's order the same set meal as Rin."
Toyokawa Shoko changed her choice without a care in the world.
Anyway, her goal has been achieved. It doesn’t matter what she eats tonight. As long as she can return some of the money to Lin, it will be considered a success.
No need for vegetarian set meal.
"Yeah." Qing Shui Lin nodded slightly, then handed the menu to the waiter waiting on the side, and returned his gaze to the girl in front of him.
While waiting for the food to be served.
In order to avoid awkward situations, Toyokawa Shoko took the initiative to chat with Shimizu Rin as usual, without any change.
Suddenly, not long after, Xiangzi suddenly brought up Mu's situation. The worry in the girl's tone was hard to conceal, but there was also a hint of confusion hidden in her voice.
"Rin, do you know what's going on with Mu lately?"
"what happened?"
Shimizu Rin carefully looked through the messages on her phone, planning the future of Rautism. At the same time, she still had things to deal with on the account of "Desperate Guitarist".
Recently.
Shimizu Rin has been trying to find a suitable person to run the Rautism account, but unfortunately there has been no result so far.
Thinking of this, Lin subconsciously looked up at the customer service representative Xiangzi in front of her. After thinking for a long time, she shook her head helplessly and gave up the idea in her mind.
This kind of thing... I'll think about it later...
If we really can't find anyone to operate the Rautism account, it's not impossible to let Xiangzi give it a try.
But Xiangzi's next words completely disrupted Lin's thoughts, and the atmosphere between the two girls changed subtly.
Getting heavier.
"Didn't Su Shi mention Mu's situation to me last time? I'm a little worried about Mu's condition, so I tried to ask Mu on Line before, wanting to know Mu's recent situation..."
"So? Mu didn't reply to you?" asked Qingshui Lin.
Given how important Xiangzi is to Mu, it's impossible for her not to reply to Xiangzi's message, right?
It is understandable that he did not reply to Su Shi's message, but the same cannot be said about the girl's other half.
"No, Mu replied to my message, but... I felt that there was something wrong with Mu, and his reply was vague, so..."
After all, they are each other's half, and Xiangzi is still worried about Ruoye Mu.
If you don't know, you can just pretend it doesn't exist.
but!
Earlier, on the rooftop of Tsuki no Mori, Su Shi and Xiangzi, who met by chance, mentioned Mu's recent situation.
Su Shi's words made the seeds of worry take root in Xiangzi's heart, gradually growing and becoming stronger, forcing Xiangzi to take the initiative to contact Mu.
What's more, Toyokawa Shoko has received help from Rin many times recently. The contact with normal people has made her brain somewhat clearer. The originally confused girl began to observe the situation around her.
People who are closely connected to you...
The first to be affected was Oome Wakaba Mutsu, who suffered greatly after Toyokawa Shoko withdrew from CRYCHIC, which she had founded.
Xiangzi tentatively asked Wakaba Mu through Line, wondering if he could get a reply from Mu now.
Fortunately, Mu finally replied to the message. The complicated emotions made it impossible to sever the relationship between the two girls so easily.
"Well, then what?"
An unusually familiar phrase.
It was clearly a normal conversation, but Shimizu Rin felt an inexplicable sense of irritation rising in her heart.
Alarm bells rang in her heart, and Rin vaguely sensed that something was wrong in Xiangzi's words, but if she only based her inner premonition on it, Rin could not make any comment on it.
She couldn't just start attacking the other person while he was speaking normally.
"I feel like Mu has become the same as when I first knew him, but I can't even handle my own problems right now... Anyway, I want to ask Rin, does Rin know how Mu is doing lately?"
Shoko Toyokawa clenched her hands, and the girl's short nails still dug into her flesh. When talking about Wakaba Mutsu, she would subconsciously bite her lips from time to time.
"I don't know. Mu and I are not in the same class. We don't see each other every day. How can I know her situation?" Qingshui Lin shook her head.
She really didn't know anything about Ruoye Mu's affairs, and the fact that Ruoye Mu didn't come to Yuezhisen to study had nothing to do with her. So why should she care? Why should she know?
And if I really want to talk about my closest interaction with Mu, it might have to start a few weeks ago when Mu suddenly came to my class and blocked the classroom door.
Before this, Rin and Mu were just the lead and sub-guitarists in a band of junior high school girls, and they had no other communication.
"Hasn't Kemu been in contact with Rin recently?"
"Huh? How did you know that?"
Shimizu Rin glanced at Toyokawa Shoko in surprise. She didn't expect that Wakaba Mutsu, who usually looked honest, would reveal these things to Shoko.
Oh...that's right...
The reason why Wakaba Mu kept the news about Xiangzi secret from Su Shi was because Xiangzi had specifically asked Mu not to reveal any information about her to anyone in CRYCHIC.
As early as when she and Mu went out to perform on the street, she should have asked Mu in advance not to reveal that he had accompanied her to play guitar.
This will undoubtedly reduce a lot of trouble. For example, Su Shi and Xiangzi recently came to him because of Mu's problem, and both asked him about Mu's news.
How could I possibly know this?
I have been busy with Rautism-related matters and have no time to care about a silent cucumber girl.
"A few days ago, when I was talking to Mu about her recent situation, she often mentioned Rin, so I asked her about it," explained Toyokawa Shoko.
"But that was a few days ago, and I haven't been in touch lately."
Qing Shui Lin sighed helplessly.
Did the final development really turn out like this?
Why is CRYCHIC still chasing me?!
"Is that so... then..."
"Stop! If Xiangzi wants to know about Mu or anything like that, I know nothing about it."
"But if Xiangzi wants to know Mu's specific situation, you'd better go to Sushi. She knows more than I do, and she has contacted Mu more often than the two of us combined."
In response to Toyokawa Shoko's questioning, Shimizu Rin tried to divert her attention, as if to pull herself out of the quagmire.
"But Su Shi has been..."
Xiangzi glanced awkwardly at the clear water in the glass in front of him. Her haggard face, which looked exhausted due to overwork, was reflected on the water. Coupled with the gloom in her eyes, the girl's embarrassment was clearly visible.
"Why did Su Shi become like this? Shouldn't I ask you, Xiangzi? Everyone has their own problems, including me, so I don't want to discuss this topic anymore."
"If you still want to ask more questions, Xiangzi, I think we should end our meeting here today. There is nothing more to talk about."
People's patience is limited. Shimizu Rin doesn't want to discuss anything about CRYCHIC because this disbanded band means nothing to the girl now.
Faced with Rin's words, Toyokawa Shoko immediately stopped thinking about it.
She simply wanted to come out and see Lin today, then return the money she earned from working to Lin, and ask about Mu's situation. It was just a sudden idea.
Don't delay one thing because of another.
After the rainy night, Xiangzi failed to find a suitable opportunity to thank Lin. Now there was a hint of impatience in Lin's tone, and the girl naturally did not dare to continue.
"......All right."
The conversation between the two ended here.
at the same time.
But neither of the two girls expected that there was a slender figure hiding in the corner of the street, staring at the seats where they were.
As early as when Rin and Shoko were walking to the restaurant together, they were accidentally seen walking together by a familiar girl.
So the girl followed the two of them silently all the way until they arrived at this restaurant.
At this moment, she was hiding outside the store, staring intently at the two people sitting opposite each other in the store.
"Rin? Xiangzi?"
74. Unique, the lead singer of Runaway
Time keeps passing, but the connection between the three girls does not change. It is supposed to be a warm dinner time, but the scene is unexpectedly heavy and depressing, making people feel uncomfortable.
If Rin and Shoko had glanced outside the store at this moment, they would have easily spotted the penguin girl hiding in the corner and peeping.
