When they met, Mikami Hatsuka was wearing sunglasses, but Junda Mana recognized her immediately and gave her a bear hug.

Behind Misaka Chuka, a blue-haired figure slowly emerged.

When she saw her, Shiina Maki was stunned for a moment.

No, really? It's just that I had a drink with you, Mingze Feng, in the early hours of the morning. Why did you actually come all this way? Did you sink into the British Sea or the Thames...?

Shiina Maki shrank her neck. She had originally planned to go up and say hello, but now she just wanted to stay out of the way.

Upon closer inspection, Ms. Toyokawa has changed a little again.

Shiina Maki and Toyokawa Shoko had known each other for a long time. In her initial impression, this young lady of the Toyokawa family had the gentleness of a Yamato Nadeshiko and the enthusiasm of a girl next door.

At a temporary concert a few months ago, because she went up to snatch a man, Ms. Toyokawa was not only like a sword drawn from its sheath, but her golden eyes were also burning.

This time, the people around Toyokawa Shoko were noticeably colder.

When talking to Mikami Hatsuka, Toyokawa Shoko would actually smile genuinely. But when chatting with Junda Mana, her smile was reduced to mere politeness.

As Shiina Maki pondered why Toyokawa Shoko was walking with Misumi Hatsuka, Toyokawa Shoko finally remembered who the woman behind Junda Mana, who was half a head taller than her, was.

Shoko Toyokawa frowned slightly as she recalled what had happened last time.

"Maki-san? You're in London too..."

Well, when it came to her, even a polite smile disappeared.

This is good news, though; it means Naruzawa Kaede didn't sell her off. Shiina Maki forced a smile, "A school event...Ms. Toyokawa is here?"

Shoko Toyokawa shook her head. Of course, she couldn't say that she had come to London to find someone under the guise of seeking inspiration for a new song.

I remembered the phone call I received in Tokyo around 9 PM.

Toyokawa Shoko turned her head and looked at Misaka Hatsuka.

"...Hatsuka, when is the event? And...you'll be coming, right?"

"Will do!"

"Okay, I'll contact you then."

Mikasa Hatsuka replied excitedly, and Toyokawa Shoko nodded and left.

Sanjiao Chuhua gazed at her departing figure and pursed her lips.

Although she had absolutely no confidence. After all... Mitsumi Hatsuka also knew that her image in Narusawa Kaede's heart was somewhat...

Well, her image and all that are gone completely.

To be honest, Mitsumi Hatsuka felt a little regretful. After that day, no matter what she did, she couldn't recapture that feeling.

Recalling what happened in the bedroom that day, Mitsuka Hatsuka couldn't help but swallow, her heart pounding.

"Hatsuka, why is your face so red?" Junda Mana asked.

"Ah...it was a bit stuffy just now."

But Xiangzi's request still had to be fulfilled.

Mikasa glanced at Mana Junda, and her good partner returned her a very sweet smile.

Please, Mana. Besides, Mana knows about what happened that day. She definitely won't tell anyone, but if Shoko finds out...

"Mana, there's something..."

Sanjiao Chuhua thought to herself, "I really should tell her not to tell Xiangzi."

"..."

On the other side, Shiina Maki realized that Toyokawa Shoko didn't intend to criticize her, and gradually joined in the conversation.

In the car, she tried to get close to Sanjiao Chuhua.

"Miss Chuhua's outfit is great..."

"Um... Maki-senpai..."

Seeing the smile on Mikami Hatsuka's face, Shiina Maki couldn't help but nod. Even among beautiful girls, Mikami Hatsuka was among the top tier. It was hard not to like someone with such looks.

......

The airport was bustling with people, and the air was thick with a suffocating noise.

A blue-haired girl walked through the hall in high heels, her plain white dress swaying beside her. She took off her gloves and casually loosened her hair.

Her long, light blue hair was slightly wavy and cascaded down her back, swaying with her steps.

Following the landmarks toward the exit, Toyokawa Shoko glanced at the shops lining the street and the dim sky beyond the transparent corridor. She thought that the first thing she should do upon arriving in London was to buy an umbrella.

Looking at the dark clouds in the sky, Toyokawa Shoko became somewhat lost in thought.

A dozen hours earlier, at 9:30 AM in Tokyo and 1:30 PM in London, during a break from rehearsals for Ave Mujica's Yokohama concert, that phone call came from right beside Misumi Hatsuka.

This is the reason why Toyokawa Shoko answered the phone.

Shoko Toyokawa finally found a reason to answer the phone. Otherwise, she would probably still be staring blankly at her phone, waiting for Kaede Narusawa to hang up.

She couldn't let Misaki Hatsuka think that she and Narusawa Kaede were having relationship problems. Thinking this, Toyokawa Shoko answered the phone.

'I miss you'

Then, I heard Naruzawa Kaede say these words.

"..."

Toyokawa Shoko has never really thought about the past. When she's immersed in her work, time flies by.

According to her, no man is as interesting as someone who does project planning.

but...

Some things are just unreasonable.

I didn't feel anything even though I hadn't heard any sounds for months.

But when you hear those foul-breaking lines...

In the end, she bought the plane ticket.

"..."

To be honest, Toyokawa Shoko never imagined that she would book a flight to London without thinking. From hanging up the phone to boarding the plane and arriving in London, she spent sixteen hours on the plane.

Because of those four damned words.

"Really..."

Toyokawa Shoko sighed and couldn't help but mutter to herself.

"It's like being poisoned, really, Maple..."

I wonder if Mingze Feng will be happy that she suddenly appeared. She probably will, since she seemed very happy when she answered the phone.

Even over the phone, Toyokawa Shoko could sense it.

Toyokawa Shoko thought that at that time, Narusawa Kaede's happiness was probably only slightly less than hers.

Um......

Despite the dark clouds filling the sky and a few raindrops pattering against the glass, Toyokawa Shoko still managed a smile.

It'll be soon... Everyone's in London, it'll be here soon...

Suddenly, a pink-haired figure appeared from the side and bumped into Xiangzi's shoulder before he could dodge.

"Ouch—that hurts..." The pink-haired girl with glasses clutched her shoulder, her brow furrowing. "It feels like steel..."

As she spoke, she met Toyokawa Shoko's golden eyes.

"Ah... I'm sorry."

"Feel sorry..."

Toyokawa Shoko apologized to her at the same time. The pink-haired girl lowered her head, picked up her bag, and left quickly.

Toyokawa Shoko glanced at the spacious area in the middle of the road.

Thinking of the girl's haggard and troubled face from earlier, Toyokawa Shoko thought for a moment, and realized she seemed to have seen that expression somewhere before.

A young girl's heart is like a strong wind. No one knows whether rain clouds or a clear blue sky will come.

never mind...

Shoko Toyokawa bought an umbrella. She walked out of the airport.

She had certainly been to London before, more than once. This visit was merely a return to familiar ground.

In fact, as the eldest daughter of the Toyokawa family, she was a talented young woman who had mastered several foreign languages.

......

Unlike Toyokawa Shoko, who was already fluent in foreign languages.

Mingze Feng is still studying diligently.

Under Eliza Shimizu's guidance, he successfully learned several words.

Words like 'condom', 'pantyhose', and 'unprotected', and many more, are part of the 18+ class content.

The foreign teacher's teaching level was average, after all, she didn't have much experience, but her equipment was very good, and the headlights of her car were very bright.

Fortunately, Mingze Feng's extensive teaching experience made up for this deficiency.

There are significant differences between Chinese language classes and foreign language classes. For example, right now, Eliza Shimizu is clutching her stomach, wondering what to do if she gets hungry.

What can we do...?

There are plenty of things to eat in London, but to satisfy your cravings... you'll have to come and see for yourself.

They bought a pizza from a street vendor, and the second battleground was in the car, though no fighting broke out. Eliza Shimizu said that people would see them, and she didn't want to do it.

The seat was reclined, and Eliza Shimizu pinched the two sides of a pizza corner together and held it up to the side.

"Ah—you go first."

"you eat."

"I've already fed you~"

Eliza Shimizu did not move her hand away.

Mingze Feng took a bite, then finished the rest. She then took two tissues, wiping her hands and lips as she leaned her head closer.

Mingze Feng's hand landed on her shoulder, gently stroking Eliza's hair. The car was filled with the rich aroma of cheese when suddenly a few raindrops pattered against the window.

"It rains suddenly in London."

As Eliza spoke, she tossed the pizza box under the windshield to create space, and then became bolder in her actions.

Mingze Feng lowered his head and watched her movements.

"Did not you say......"

"Without strong winds, the rain will block the car windows."

Eliza asked, "Do you want more?"

Eliza picked up another slice of pizza and handed it to him. Mingze Feng took a bite, continuing to stare at her face.

Eliza had already lowered her head.

Mingze Feng sighed, stroking her blonde hair as he asked, "Are you hungry for your mouth or your stomach?"

"You eat the pizza, I'll eat what you give me..."

Looking up and seeing Naruzawa Kaede holding a phone, Shimizu Eliza covered her face with her hand. "Haa... I'm telling you, don't take pictures! I get shy too..."

"I'm talking about you..."

Before Naruzawa Kaede could say anything more, Shimizu Eliza threw the pizza box at him.

"Don't look!"

"Enjoy it... Remember to tell me if you feel uncomfortable, and I'll try not to bite."

"Please don't try, and please, please don't bite."

No one spoke in the car anymore.
