Mygo, the band legend of Tokyo handsome guy

"They went to compete? Well... the seniors are moving forward too."

While feeling moved, Toyokawa Shoko was even more concerned about...

"Maple Lord? You've actually extended your evil clutches into the Moon Forest."

Toyokawa Shoko frowned, genuinely worried that Narusawa Kaede might be thrown into Tokyo Bay by that group.

Mingze Feng told her that he also planned to go up and compete, and about the SickHack and Roselia groups.

Toyokawa Shoko touched her head, wondering if she had a fever and was delirious. She leaned over and touched Narusawa Kaede's head, wondering if he was talking nonsense.

But then Toyokawa Shoko suddenly remembered that she had also appeared as the keyboardist in Roselia. Rinko Shirogane... that was her name. Later, they added each other in their contacts.

Naruzawa Kaede gave Toyokawa Shoko the middle finger.

Toyokawa Shoko raised her hand and grabbed it directly. With curious eyes, she wanted to find out what kind of girls usually hung around Narusawa Kaede, or rather, what kind of girls this scumbag had his eye on.

Rose Clan, Moon Forest, Semi-Professional Tournament...

"Hey... Feng, which of these guys have you slept with? I don't mean anything by it, I'm just curious, really."

Shoko Toyokawa blinked curiously.

She looks completely natural, but also a bit cunning.

Chapter 64 Toyokawa Shoko: I Gradually Understand Everything (More)

Do junior high school students eat breakfast?

Of course, it was a long time ago. If it had been done by two middle school students, it wouldn't have been so shocking. Especially since it happened to a scumbag.

one person…

Toyokawa Shoko felt that Narusawa Kaede's words were insufficient.

Toyokawa Shoko knew from the beginning that Narusawa Kaede was a guy who dated two or three different girls a day.

I just don't know if they change rooms two or three times a night.

She was prepared for the worst from the beginning.

But now you're saying there's only one?

Is it that Ryo? During Roselia's incident, Toyokawa Shoko learned of this name from both Narusawa Kaede's text message and Imagawa Risa.

But there was only one... which was a completely unexpected answer.

Toyokawa Shoko's heart skipped a beat, her beautiful brows furrowed, and her clenched fingers showed her unease.

[Are you kidding...?]

What do you even like? I'm already in bed...

[I'm...I'm so desperate I can't get married...and you're telling me you're playing innocent? You...I'm gonna explode!]

This focus is truly like a lover searching for vegetarian food; the military has come to their home.

"I want to see her."

Shoko Toyokawa blurted it out, and immediately regretted it.

As for the kind of people around Naruzawa Kaede and the kind of people he befriends, to be fair, if we think about this recent emotional experience rationally, Toyokawa Shoko believes that this abnormal relationship between the two of them, and the intersection of their lives, should be kept within the scope of this room.

It's enough for me to stay in this room, to stay by Mingze Feng's side, in this vulnerable state.

Getting to know the people around the other person will only make you sink deeper into trouble.

But... I'm already deeply involved and can't get out of it.

Toyokawa Shoko pursed her lips, raised her head, and secretly watched Narusawa Kaede's expression.

She was also torn.

Having accepted the "scumbag" persona from the beginning, Toyokawa Shoko had an exceptionally high tolerance for Narusawa Kaede.

if it is like this...

Mingze Feng stroked the cup on the table.

If we can make a breakthrough with Xiangzi and try to maintain a small, functioning harem... then wouldn't it be easier to bring in more people in the future?

While one could say it was a wish for Toyokawa Shoko to make more new friends, that would be a bit too high-sounding.

I hope everyone can become my wings.

Mingze Feng knew what he wanted to do.

If you don't even dare to do the things you want to do, then you'll always end up doing things you don't like. Every disliked thing will combine to fill an unpleasant life, and then you'll just laugh it off and tell yourself, "Never mind."

If you don't want to do it, and you don't work it, then you'll just give up in the end.

"Her name is Ijichi Hoshika."

Naruzawa Kaede explained, "I run a family-run restaurant in Kitazawa, but my main business is hosting band performances, so it's kind of like a half-livehouse. Between us..."

Mingze Feng thought about their usual sweet and delicate daily life and continued, "We're pretty close, like we're always together."

"If you'd like to get to know me, how about today?"

"She works at the store."

Xingge... Toyokawa Shoko chewed on the name. She counted the girls she knew who surrounded Narusawa Kaede. Besides the likes of Rose, there was also 'Ryo'. Toyokawa Shoko had seen her in the text messages edited by Imagawa and Narusawa Kaede.

So, are the truly successful people the owners of live music venues?

Is the other person a college student or a working professional who has already graduated? Does the other person know that the government just raised the age of sexual consent to 16 last year?!

Toyokawa Shoko had seen Narusawa Kaede's personal identification card before; she had found it while cleaning under the sofa. Narusawa Kaede was born in the same year as her, just a few days after her birthday.

Yes, Japan only raised the age of sexual consent to sixteen in 2023; before that, it had been thirteen.

Naruzawa Kaede will not be sixteen until next February.

"Was it that old woman...? She took the money..."

Toyokawa Shoko's eyes reddened, and she clenched her teeth.

For example, if that's really the case...

"..."

Naruzawa Kaede looked away and rubbed his eyes. Toyokawa Shoko had a good eye for him, but explaining this matter was a bit complicated. Naruzawa Kaede said, "It wasn't my choice... Xingge isn't exactly an old woman, is she? Actually, there's a bit of a misunderstanding. She... well, let me start from the day we met downstairs at the company."

Hiroi Kikuri got drunk and vomited all over Narusawa Kaede, so Flot gave Narusawa Kaede a change of clothes. Iji Tomoka, who was looking for Hiroi Kikuri, mistook Narusawa Kaede for Hiroi Kikuri's junior. Initially, he reeked of alcohol, and his association with university students, coupled with his haggard appearance due to illness, masked his naivety as a middle school student.

Toyokawa Shoko couldn't help but think... if only someone had mistaken her for a college student when she was delivering newspapers, but it seems college students are paid very low wages...

[Maple, she's probably up to some weird idea again...]

Xiangzi twirled a strand of hair between his fingers. "What are you trying to tell me by saying this?"

Mingze Feng: "I'd like to introduce you two... I'll leave you to a friend."

Toyokawa Shoko clutched her hair.

Clever as she was, after spending several days together, she could roughly guess what Mingze Feng was planning when she saw the look in his eyes.

Those beautiful brows gradually furrowed, then relaxed as she understood everything. Her originally indifferent gaze, along with the upturned corners of her eyes, now appeared much more playful.

Toyokawa Shoko pursed her lips and said with a sly smile, "You...you've finally come to this."

"Seriously, after all that build-up of gentleness, you suddenly start saying something like you want everyone to have wings. You've been watching too much anime."

"How could he say such a thing to a girl? If it were a girl he was dating, he would be considered very well-mannered if he didn't get slapped."

I've finally found something I can do for you.

"Luckily, we're good friends."

Toyokawa Shoko stood up, supporting herself on the table. Her bright eyes sparkled, and she giggled, laughing genuinely happily.

If you need me to do it.

"Since my good friend has said so, of course I'll help."

Leave your plans to me.

“Take me to see her, Maple.”

Let me help you.

Shoko Toyokawa hummed and raised her chin, "Leave it to me."

At this moment, Narusawa Kaede finally realized what else had gone wrong with Toyokawa Shoko.

This is not the Xiao Xiang from Crychic, nor is it the Bai Xiang that anyone talks about. It is the one and only Toyokawa Shoko, who did not exist in the past, but changed because of Narusawa Kaede's long-term approach.

This is Xiao Xiang standing next to Mingze Feng.

Black turns white, evil turns righteous.

On her way to the store, Toyokawa Shoko also took the initiative to inquire about Starry's information.

Compared to Higashi-Shinjuku, Shimokitazawa is hardly a money pit. Countless small shops like this go out of business every year, and most maintain a very low turnover.

Starry.

Ichika Hoshika hastily prepared an interview, which wasn't very strict; she was just looking for a temporary worker. She didn't want Nijika to help her lately, so a temporary job was fine.

Feng said that she brought her neighbor, whose family had fallen on hard times and who had come out to make a living on her own. Her previous job had fallen through, and Mingze Feng thought that there was a shortage of people here, so he recommended her.

During the interview, Shoko Toyokawa remained polite and courteous, showcasing her knowledge of musical instruments and music, her understanding of stage and lighting, and her experience in organizing live performances.

At the end of her resume, she also mentioned that she was proficient in using vending machines. That's probably a lame joke.

After reading it, Ichika felt that she had given too little money, but she didn't actually have much money in her pocket.

It's only December, and last month's cash flow wasn't even completed. A raise is impossible right now.

In short, Toyokawa Shoko successfully got the job.

Naruzawa Kaede tried recording a song. Although shops like Ring or Crycle might have more professional equipment, Starry had the advantage of Naruzawa Kaede being familiar with the owner, so it was free.

In the recording studio, Mingze Feng saw Xingge's eyes and suddenly realized that it might not be free.

A meal is unavoidable.

That afternoon, Starry's operations were handled jointly by Hoshino and Toyokawa Shoko. Toyokawa Shoko had a strong learning ability and quickly became familiar with all the operations, getting into the work process.

Toyokawa Shoko even developed a relationship with Hoshika, becoming Hoshika-neechan.

Ijichi Seika has always been willing to support strong juniors, especially after hearing about Toyokawa Shoko's extremely familiar background and her efficiency at work, she looks at Toyokawa Shoko with even more admiration.

Mingze Feng is recording a song.

Toyokawa Shoko is working.

Ichi Seika looked back and forth between the two sides.

"sister!"

Ichi Nijika, carrying her schoolbag, ran down the stairs from the main gate.

When several regular customers saw her, she waved and greeted them excitedly, responding with a smile that showed off her neat teeth.

Her smiling face, paired with her blonde hair that was exactly the same as Ijichi Seika's, made her stand out.

Unlike the usually stern-faced boss, the shop's biggest advantage lies in its younger sister, Sang, who exudes a warm and sunny aura.

Shoko Toyokawa's first impression of Nijika Ijichi: With some marketing and packaging, "Shimokitazawa no Hikari" (Sunshine of Shimokitazawa) could definitely increase foot traffic by 30%.

From how other customers addressed her, Toyokawa Shoko learned that this was Ijichi Nijika.

Ijichi Seika's younger sister.

After a brief greeting, Ijichi Nigatsu nestled next to Ijichi Seika. Her voice was very soft, so Toyokawa Shoko moved closer to them.

"No, you go home first today. I have something to do."

"Ha! Sister, you're not going home again today... Mo... Sister's not going home, and Liang won't let me go with her either..."

Toyokawa Shoko frowned. Lu, Liang, and Liang are all pronounced the same way... but she felt that Liang was the most likely.

That is, the person who appeared in the communication between Narusawa Kaede and Imagawa.

Shoko Toyokawa's gaze towards Niji Natsumi changed.
