"Star Song... um... promise us..."
"I want to! I want to go against it!"
......
In the end, Ijichi Hoshika did not answer. Although she let Narusawa Kaede take her hand, she remained silent for a while.
Naruzawa Kaede was sent away by Iji Tomoka, who wanted to talk to Hiroi Kikuri alone.
Still seething with anger, Ijichi Seika spoke harshly, "Kikuri, you are utterly lacking in dignity."
Kikumi Hiroi gently shook her head, looking at her palm.
"No, as long as I can continue making music, nothing else matters."
"What about Feng?"
"Feng, and his music, are a part of what I want."
If you want something, then you work hard for it.
Kikuri Hiroi's life was a pursuit of freedom.
And today, Kikuri Hiroi is also searching for what she wants in her own way.
Completely disregarding the opinions of others and the prevailing atmosphere, Kikuri Hiroi is often called a scoundrel, an alcoholic, and shameless, and she truly is.
Chapter Sixty-Eight: Ijichi Nijika Doesn't Know What She Should Know
Outside the venue.
To be precise, the Flot store is located right next to the Ginza street, where you can occasionally see a few green plants on both sides of the street, which are also works of art.
The fiery clouds of dusk had already climbed up before we knew it.
As the SiCK HACK performance came to an end, it was nearing evening.
After entering December, even high school girls know to wear long down jackets or coats over their clothes.
Nijika Ichi sat on a roadside seat.
Toyokawa Shoko stayed by her side, chatting with her while keeping an eye on her phone.
Nijika Ijichi originally came with Seika Ijichi. When she saw Kaede Narusawa on stage, she was surprised and delighted. She wanted to tell Seika after the performance that she and the student who performed on stage were in the same club and had even studied for their final exams together.
What stopped all of this was an unexpected and sudden kiss that startled everyone.
At the end of the performance, the lead singer with red and purple hair on stage hugged Mingze Feng and kissed him.
This sudden scene stunned the audience, stunned Toyokawa Shoko, stunned Ijichi Seika, and stunned Ijichi Nijika.
Yes, that's rock and roll. As the ending to an already chaotic performance, it's just too rock and roll.
But for Ichi Nijika, all of this presents problems.
According to Ijichi Niji Natsumi's understanding, which is a few versions behind, there is a... impure relationship between Narusawa Kaede and Yamada Ryo.
Hongxia remembered clearly that Ijichi Hoshika had said that the people standing on the stage were her friends. Her sister's friends, which meant they were her own people.
Furthermore, Ijichi Nijika also considers Narusawa Kaede a friend. Since emerging from her dark period, Ijichi Nijika has always been kind to others and a cheerful person who actively makes friends. As a friend from the same club, Narusawa Kaede has also studied with her for several afternoons, so they are naturally friends as well.
Ichi Nijika automatically assigned herself to this role, and then she was dumbfounded.
In other words, this is a friend of mine who has an impure relationship with another friend of mine, and also has an impure relationship with my sister's friend.
Nijika Ichi didn't know what she should or shouldn't know. If Nijika had been given a choice two hours earlier, she would have chosen to go home and study for her final exams in a few days, rather than witness this... unusually rock-and-roll scene.
Ultimately, Ichiki Nijika's problems boil down to only three.
Should I tell Liang about this? How should I tell my sister? How can I persuade Mingze Feng to mend his ways?
This anxious feeling even prevented Hongxia from noticing her sister's strange behavior before she was led out of the Folt store. Toyokawa Shoko, who had been keeping a close eye on them, came over and whispered something to Ijichi Hoshika, which led to the current situation.
Now, Toyokawa Shoko is with Ijichi Nikka, waiting for Ijichi Seika to come into the house seeking revenge.
Shoko Toyokawa glanced down at her unread messages on her phone from time to time, sighing inwardly. She was such an excellent wingman, working tirelessly for so many things, yet she wasn't valued. Or perhaps Kaede had left his phone in the background and couldn't see it right now?
Ichi Nijika was still very conflicted. She even brought up a story about a friend of hers and asked Toyokawa Shoko for advice.
Toyokawa Shoko gave her a friendly smile and warmly instructed Nijika to temporarily keep her friend's matter a secret from her sister.
In front of Ichi Nijika, Toyokawa Shoko is a gentle, intellectual, generous, and experienced reliable older sister figure.
The guidance of such a person should be correct.
Of course, Toyokawa Shoko knew that the protagonist in Nijika's story was herself. In order to prevent Nijika from adding fuel to the already chaotic battle, Toyokawa Shoko suggested that Nijika go find Narusawa Kaede... oh, that scumbag male protagonist in Nijika's story.
Ijichi Nijika listened to most of it, but when Yamada Ryo walked past her, her sense of responsibility towards her friend compelled her to stand up subconsciously.
"cold..."
Yamada Ryo stopped and first saw Ijichi Nijika, then he saw the strange blue-haired man next to Nijika smiling and waving at him.
"Tch..." Yamada Ryo frowned, took a deep breath, and felt the evening chill creeping into her body and every crevice of her clothes, reminding her to stay alert.
Yamada Ryo looked at Ijichi Niinatsu and asked, "You?"
Yamada Ryo wanted to ask her if she was coming over clutching her stomach like Toyokawa Shoko, to talk to her about Kaede's problem. If so, then there was no point in discussing it. Yamada Ryo didn't want to deal with such troublesome matters at all; she just wanted to get some fresh air and calm down.
From the moment she met Toyokawa Shoko, she already knew that Toyokawa Shoko was related to Narusawa Kaede, which was why she made those teasing remarks. It was normal for Ijichi Nijika to have such suspicions now, facing Toyokawa Shoko standing beside her.
Yamada Ryo's question was cryptic and incomprehensible, probably only understandable to those who were on the same wavelength as her. Ichiji Nijika couldn't understand it, and the words she wanted to say were stuck in her throat, so she just asked things like "Have you eaten?"
Yamada Ryo: "I have no appetite, I'm not eating."
Toyokawa Shoko explained, "Nijika came with Manager Hoshika."
Yamada Ryo and Toyokawa Shoko made eye contact, and she nodded to confirm Shoko's meaning.
So... the one connected to Kaede is not Nijika, but Nijika's older sister, Ijichi Seika.
"Oh, do you two know each other?"
Ryo Yamada and Shoko Toyokawa both nodded.
As Ichiji Nijika watched the two silently gazing at each other, the atmosphere made it impossible for her to interject. The familiar scene left Ichiji Nijika feeling somewhat dazed.
A month ago, Nijika had witnessed this scene on the rooftop. The two were talking in a language she couldn't understand; back then, the main characters in the story were Yamada Ryo and Narusawa Kaede.
"..."
Intelligent people can convey their message clearly in simple conversations.
As Yamada Ryo turned to leave, he saw Iji Tomoka also walk out of the store.
Yamada Ryo had been to Starry's with Nijika before and knew this sharp-tongued but kind-hearted older sister. The current Nijika was different from the one she saw at the store last time, yawning constantly but impeccably dressed.
Yamada Ryo could see the red lines at the corners of Iji Tomoka's eyes and the faint puffiness concealed by makeup. The red edges under Iji Tomoka's short fingernails looked like bloodstains on someone's skin. Iji Tomoka held an iced fruit juice drink to her lips, probably trying to reduce the swelling.
Detective Ryo Yamada witnessed everything, but she said nothing.
Ichiji Nijika: "Sister, what did you do inside for so long?"
I tried my best to send my blessings to some idiot's true love, but I couldn't win him over. In the end, my lips were swollen from all the kisses, and I almost agreed in a daze. Now I'm about to run away.
Ichiko Hoshika then remembered that everyone present was a minor, and she couldn't be so violent and lewd, so she didn't say anything.
Ijichi Seika: "Ah, Ryo's here too. I only took two extra cups..."
"I haven't been able to drink iced drinks very well lately," Toyokawa Shoko said with a smile. "Thank you, Manager Hoshika, this one can be chilled."
Yamada Ryo stared blankly at the drink handed to her, her expression different from before; now, the corners of her mouth were downturned.
She, who always believed that "a fool wouldn't pass up a bargain," shook her head this time and said softly:
"no appetite."
Ichika Hoshika had no choice but to stuff them both into Nijika's arms.
The three teams parted ways, and Ichiji Hoshika quickly grabbed Nijika's hand and headed home. Yamada Ryo wandered aimlessly along the road ahead.
Shoko Toyokawa stood on tiptoe, looking in the direction Ryo Yamada had left. Her fingers tapped the screen again, sending the edited message to Kaede Narusawa.
Xiangzi moved slightly and followed the direction Yamada Ryo had left in.
*
Sick Hack had a victory celebration party this time, a real victory celebration party, because they made a lot of money today.
During their performance today, the bar was littered with broken bottles of liquor brought by Hiroi Kikuri. The customers, of course, had paid for it. Some particularly intoxicated customers even went out of their way to buy liquor and then smash it. Tonight's marketing was quite successful.
The store manager didn't charge them for the broken glass; instead, he gave Sick Hack a percentage of the profits.
Having received the money, despite the somewhat awkward events of the day, Eliza Shimizu suggested that everyone go out for a meal, as she had something to announce.
This made Kikuto Hiroi extremely happy, completely forgetting that after throwing the high, she almost threw down the microphone and bass as well.
The sudden income and dinner party, coupled with Senior Xingge's ambiguous attitude, make things very promising.
Hiroi Kikuri felt that her career and love life had reached their peak at this moment.
With these two happy events combined, she should be fine having a little alcohol, right?
With that in mind, she moved closer to Mingze Feng, who was scrolling through his phone.
What if there are more?
Naruzawa Kaede was naturally looking at Toyokawa Shoko's battle reports. The only people who would exchange so many messages with him consecutively were Yamada Ryo and Toyokawa Shoko. However, this time, Naruzawa Kaede's messages to Yamada Ryo went unanswered.
The only message that showed as read was the invitation to the performance.
The message from Toyokawa Shoko said that she had run into Yamada Ryo, Hoshika, and Nijika at the store entrance, and told Narusawa Kaede not to come out yet.
Toyokawa Shoko is truly a sweet and considerate daughter.
"I want a kiss~"
Hiroi Kikuri, direct and bold, pouted and leaned forward. Her eyes were still swollen, and her lips were covered in either saliva or some stolen drink.
Eliza Shimizu was engrossed in her tablet, pretending not to see anything, while Shima Iwashita was holding a cup of hot milk, unable to bear watching.
Naruzawa Kaede, exasperated, hugged Hiroi Kikuri's face, but didn't intend to kiss her. The fingers that were pinching Hiroi Kikuri's cheeks turned into hands, and began to rub up and down her face.
"I want a kiss! I want a kiss! You want another kiss!"
Ming Zefeng gritted his teeth, still feeling the pain in his mouth as he recalled what had just happened. He said irritably, "You don't even know what a kiss is before you bump into me. We're lucky you didn't knock out either of our front teeth!"
"Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear~ I made a mistake, oh no—!"
Hiroi Kikuri leaned to one side, swaying her limbs, saying she didn't want any more kisses and that she would go knocking on Starry's door late at night next time to disturb their peaceful sleep.
The black lines on Ming Zefeng's head became even denser, while the sensation from his hand brought him back to his senses.
I had a feeling before that Hiroi Kikuri was very thin, but now that I've touched her, I realize that there's hardly any flesh on her face.
Kikuri Hiroi's face was cool, her neck was cool, and her arms were cool too...
"That...that..."
Hiroi Kikuri's trembling voice, her blushing face, and the discomfort in her limbs suddenly rendered her speechless.
Mingze Feng: "Don't speak..."
Think about a typical day in Hiroi Kikuri's life: drinking, drinking, going out for free meals, or going hungry.
Malnutrition is the root cause; it's a miracle that his knees don't hurt despite his heavy drinking.
Mingze Feng: "How about I take you out for a walk another day?"
Go to the hospital to get it checked out.
Hiroi Kikuri nodded quickly, then asked in a low voice, "Should I call her Hoshika-nee?"
Looking at her clueless face, Mingze Feng finally realized something after a long time…
This woman is my nemesis.
Hiroi Kikuri is a person who can be so likable that you can't take your eyes off her; but when she's a headache, you just can't figure out how this rotten person has survived without being beaten to death!
Iwashita Shima: "Stop arguing, you two...Let's go eat?"
"I have to do it another day."
Naruzawa Kaede received a new message from Toyokawa Shoko.
Yamada Ryo took action.
