This tranquility is just like my life over the past month.

Toyokawa Shoko always knew what she was doing.

From the day she was held in someone's arms, Toyokawa Shoko knew what she was doing.

Indulging in the emotional support brought by sentimentality, then craving to be used, and treating everything as ordinary.

It's just like a doll being manipulated by its owner, posing it in various ways.

Outside the tent, a cold wind whistled, and in the quiet night, the only sound was the air gliding through one's respiratory tract.

I wonder if Yamada Ryo will snuggle into Narusawa Kaede's arms to sleep.

Shoko Toyokawa experienced it; it was much warmer and more comfortable than a sleeping bag.

Thinking of this, Toyokawa Shoko wrapped herself tightly in the blanket.

In that case, Yamada Ryo probably won't slap Kaede twice and then break up with her. However, it's not certain about Ijichi-sensei. Ijichi-sensei is still struggling with whether to continue, even though Narusawa Kaede's nighttime activities with her are still going on.

Thinking about this, Toyokawa Shoko couldn't hold back anymore.

What's so great about Manager Ichiji? She's just average-looking and not as gentle as Ichiji, so why can these two party every night?

Is age really that important?

If I call the police and the manager of Xingge store is a minor, does that mean Feng is mine...?

[I found Feng's songs very quickly, and several of them have become popular.]

"Can't sleep at night..."

Shoko Toyokawa hummed a song, the sound from her phone gradually matching the gentle melody she had heard that night.

Dark, heavy gray clouds obscured some of the moonlight.

It also completely blocked out the light from the campsite.

Yamada Ryo returned dejectedly after about ten minutes. By then, Toyokawa Shoko was already asleep, and her phone was still playing the song that Narusawa Kaede had sung to Yamada Ryo that night.

Yamada Ryo turned off the music on Toyokawa Shoko's phone and crawled into his sleeping bag to go to sleep.

The dry grass, blown by the wind all night, remained unchanged. The bare branches of the trees, stripped of their leaves, dotted the pale blue sky. People hurried by, but the streets were no longer filled with students shivering in the dead of winter, wearing short skirts that didn't reach their knees.

However, it doesn't matter. Thanks to Japan's unique three-semester system, starting January 9th, students who are still wearing short skirts will experience even colder temperatures.

Unless, of course, they choose to wear sweatpants to school.

Inside the Starry store, Toyokawa Shoko offered this advice to Ijichi Nikka: "If you're afraid of the cold, then wear something thicker."

"No matter what, it's weird to wear sweatpants to school!"

"Then let's try this."

Shoko Toyokawa recommended a leg warmer to Nijika Ijichi. It was basically cotton stockings. Coincidentally, Nijika Ijichi also had some, and the two girls complained that wearing them would make their legs look thicker, but they still had to put them on.

The one in Toyokawa Shoko's hand was put on her by Narusawa Kaede. The one in Ijichi Nijika's hand was put on her by Ijichi Seika.

If you don't pay attention to keeping your legs warm when you're young, you'll end up like Hiroi Kikuri in your twenties or thirties, with your knees aching when the temperature drops or it rains, turning you into a walking, talking weather forecaster.

Ichika Nijika exclaimed how warm it was and chatted enthusiastically with Toyokawa Shoko.

After working for a while, Ichiji Hoshika leaned on the table and listened to their chatter. From where she was sitting, she could see the performance on stage, and the person standing on the stage was none other than herself.

It's Sick Hack.

Kikuri Hiroi and her group sowed the seeds of rock and roll on stage.

When Ichi Seika saw Hiroi Kikuri, her expression was quite complicated.

A little over a month ago, when she saw the alcoholic again, she encountered a pale, thin man with a bright light in his eyes. A month later, after getting to know this man better and better, how did things change from a love triangle to a relationship between two women and one man?

Other things don't matter, but how do I tell Hongxia about this?

Ichiko was thirsty, and while drinking the strawberry milk in her hand, she felt a tightness in her chest.

This isn't because I'm upset about having to share someone with Kikumi Hiroi.

Even Ichika Hoshika couldn't explain it clearly. Although she was twenty-six years old this year, there were still many things she couldn't understand.

Hmm, next year hasn't come yet, I'm still twenty-six.

"Seriously... Kiku is the same, she only gave Kaede all the pleasure, leaving me no way out."

Hiroi Kikuri did a good job today; at least she didn't smash the stage, smash any drinks, or hug and kiss a man on stage.

Even though doing all this might make the atmosphere on stage better?

After Sick Hack's performance, they engaged in intimate and skillful physical contact in a secluded backstage room. Due to time constraints, their activities consisted of only kissing and cuddling.

As Naruzawa Kaede's hand slid down from Iji Chisei's waist, he caught a glimpse of the fluttering words beside her.

Chapter 76 Christmas Celebrations and Auspicious Flight (1)

It's that simple: Ichika is thinking about breaking up.

So this time, Mingze Feng stayed a little longer, and the effect was very good.

Vows of eternal love cannot withstand the test of time, and the thrill of first love will be worn down over time.

Mingze Feng A went up to him, trying to convey the passion between the two in a simpler, more direct and brutal way.

If you love a woman, don't try to understand her or love her intensely. What women need is love, not understanding, which is the exact opposite of what men do.

When she came out of the room, Ijichi Hoshika was still holding onto Narusawa Kaede's shoulder. Her legs were weak, her face was flushed, and she was breathing very softly.

Eliza Shimizu walked from the end of the corridor. Ijichi Hoshika lightly kicked Narusawa Kaede's shin, her eyes still misty with tears, as if blaming him for holding her for so long.

Eliza Shimizu waved and greeted the two with a bright, sunny smile.

When Naruzawa Kaede responded, Ijichi Hoshika, who was hiding behind him, hurriedly glanced down a few more times to make sure there were no wrinkles or creases before stepping out from behind Naruzawa Kaede.

"Senior~ We'll borrow the maple sauce then—"

After exchanging pleasantries, Eliza Shimizu became anything but polite, recounting her band's remaining performances at several nearby venues.

Ijichi Hoshika has always been supportive of them. This time was no exception; she waved her hand and said she had to go, telling Naruzawa Kaede to go wherever he wanted.

Having always seen Ijichi Hoshika's face flushed and her eyelashes trembling, Naruzawa Kaede's indifferent expression at this moment made him glance at her a few more times.

It's like the life of an old married couple suddenly has a bit more novelty.

On the way to the next store, Hiroi Kikuri leaned over and winked, wrapping her arm around Narusawa Kaede's arm.

Hiroi Kikuri stood on tiptoe, but that wasn't high enough, so she beckoned Narusawa Kaede to listen closely. The woman, Hong Jun, who, though not drinking, still reeked of alcohol, began to murmur.

"Eliza told me about what you and Senior Xingge did just now~"

Two bright gazes came from behind Naruzawa Kaede. Sometimes, the gaze of teammates can make you feel like you're sitting on pins and needles. Gloves-covered fingers pinched Hiroi Kikuri's face. It wasn't very hard, but it still hurt Hiroi Kikuri, making her cry out in pain.

Mingze Feng patted her head.

This girl's face has finally gotten a bit fuller. I accompanied her to the hospital last time; luckily, she was alright. The doctor said she was malnourished. Hiroi Kikuri herself is the type to forget about her next meal, so she needs someone to look after her.

Iwashita Shima has a regular job and isn't usually around. For the past two weeks, Narusawa Kaede and Shimizu Eliza have been taking turns feeding Hiroi Kikuri, and now her cheeks feel chubby to the touch, which is great.

Iwashita Shima and Shimizu Eliza were busy with their own things, and Hiroi Kikuri, satisfied, stopped causing trouble.

After Hiroi Kikuri stopped smashing her instruments, an unexpected benefit emerged.

I don't know if the Tokyo shop owners have a group chat, but after the Flot shop owner made a fortune the night he smashed a bottle in Hiroi Kiku, Sick Hack unexpectedly received invitations from several shops.

Everything was thriving and presented a vibrant scene.

The Flot store manager also generously stated that he would ask other stores to offer a suitable price.

The shops near Shimokitazawa didn't offer much money, but the owners there supposedly had insider access to musical instruments, and Kikuri Hiroi was drawn to the new bass. Even though she was broke, her singing voice could get her a discount.

Iwashita Shima and Shimizu Eliza also need to upgrade their equipment, while Narusawa Kaede plans to see what Yamada Ryo is missing.

The Christmas atmosphere here is much stronger than in China, and Christmas gifts seem quite necessary.

Yamada Ryo's bass, Toyokawa Shoko... how about stuffing some candy in her socks? Iji Tomoka could just give her easy-to-tear stockings.

Then there are the band members. December 25th is Christmas, and six days later is the New Year. We'll be sending New Year's cards to people we know.

There shouldn't be anything else.

But food is still needed in December, especially after taking on the responsibility of feeding Toyokawa Shoko and Hiroi Kikuri. Narusawa Kaede did not neglect his work supporting the band.

After performing, each person receives only 30,000 to 50,000 yen, with a portion remaining in the band's account.

Popular bands receive commercial gigs every day, but there are also small, unknown bands that struggle to make ends meet, with members constantly changing. They invest their daily earnings into the band, all for the sake of their dreams in life.

However, the exceptionally thriving band economy has allowed a significant number of smaller bands to survive. Some of the bands that were once known as Sick Hack, or even the bands from Tokyo Three Girls' High School, will fade away over time, while some band members may have a change of heart and open a livehouse in Shimokitazawa.

But some bands are destined to be on stage; some people are born with a contract to the stage.

When Toyokawa Shoko arrived with Minato Yukina, Narusawa Kaede was completely bewildered.

Yukina Minato said that she was a little embarrassed to say it to the band members, so she asked Kaede Narusawa and Shoko Toyokawa to practice with her.

To Yuuki's surprise, Narusawa Kaede talked to her about money.

After all, Yuki Minato doesn't really understand money.

Mingze Feng and this young lady had a proper discussion about the price.

There wasn't much to offer Minato Yuuki in the dilapidated apartment, so Toyokawa Shoko brought her some water and then stood next to Narusawa Kaede.

Even close brothers should keep clear accounts; if you want to help someone, you should ask Fukuzawa Yukichi for a talk.

Miss Minato Yuki didn't care about spending a few words, so Naruzawa Kaede quoted the market price.

When dealing with these young ladies who have endless pocket money and are incredibly generous with their spending, Ming Zefeng puts in his best effort to entertain them, and he also manages to maximize their emotional value.

After singing for a while, Minato Yukina must have gotten thirsty, so Narusawa Kaede took a glass of water from the perceptive Toyokawa Shoko and handed it to her. Minato Yukina was probably hungry, so Narusawa Kaede used the groceries Toyokawa Shoko had bought to cook a whole table of dishes.

Humorous language, empathetic music, and a touch of gentle, slow movement.

Of course, everything was perfectly innocent, and Minato Yuki felt like a kitten being held in the arms of a cat lover.

Toyokawa Shoko watched as she ground her teeth from side to side.

Although this house actually has nothing to do with Xiangzi, it's still...

Toyokawa Shoko originally only wanted to find a sugar daddy for Narusawa Kaede, but she never expected that her status at home would suddenly drop to the bottom.

All the unpleasantness dissipated when Naruzawa Kaede handed her the three 10,000 yen bills he had received.

"Xiangzi, what would you like to eat?"

Toyokawa Shoko puffed out her cheeks, striking a jealous pose, "Kaede, it's really ugly of you to be so subservient to 50,000 yen."

Ming Zefeng was speechless, not expecting her to ask that question.

"You were still working a month ago!"

Toyokawa Shoko thought about it and realized it was true. She then recalled that Narusawa Kaede's attitude towards part-time work wasn't much better than hers. The girl frowned, relying on her woman's sixth sense.

She lay on the sofa with her legs spread wide and pointed with one finger.

"If it's just work, do you really go to such lengths to support the band on a regular basis?"

Toyokawa Shoko narrowed her eyes. "I've heard from Ms. Imai that you usually don't get involved in other bands' affairs."

Toyokawa Shoko and Yamada Ryo are both detectives.

Ming Zefeng nodded in agreement: "She's pretty, sings well, and is a nice person, but she's a bit dull."

Seeing Toyokawa Shoko feign anger and reach out to twist his waist, Narusawa Kaede quickly waved his hand, "You actually believed that!"

"Actually, it's because Imai is a friend. Her childhood friend needs help, so of course we have to take it seriously!"

"Besides..."

Mingze Feng grabbed Xiaoxiang's outstretched hand, and with his wrist held, Fengchuan Xiangzi merely shook his arm symbolically. Then, taking advantage of the force, Mingze Feng reached out and wrapped his arm around Xiangzi's lower back.

Naruzawa Kaede pressed his forehead against Toyokawa Shoko's head, staring into her eyes.

“Isn’t Minato Yuki the one you brought? She’s your friend, so of course I’m going to treat her well.”

"I..."

The warm breath on her face made Toyokawa Shoko blink unconsciously. Her breathing became manual, because she realized she was breathing the same air as Narusawa Kaede.

So close, so close, so close, so close!!!
