They all have special skills

“The song is pretty good too.”

You can't hit people, you can't hit people... The education I received doesn't allow me to do that kind of thing...

Toyokawa Shoko tried hard to control her emotions.

“That’s just my feeling.”

"After all, I'm not a professional, but I think it does sound pretty good."

Thinking of the first night after Shimizu Ai came to her side, she carefully asked herself if she needed to practice the piano.

He also thought of what Wakaba Mu had said to Fengchuan before, that the band was short of a pianist.

Qingshuichuan added a sentence for some unknown reason,

"But, I always feel like something is missing."

Toyokawa Shoko asked with great interest,

"Oh? What's missing?"

"...If there had been a piano in that performance just now, the song would have been more complete... I feel like that."

Silence... silence is Cambridge tonight.

After hearing what Shimizu River said, Toyokawa Shoko was surprised and tried her best to purse her lips.

After realizing that she couldn't help it anymore, she deliberately turned her back to prevent Qingshuichuan from seeing her face.

But her shaking shoulders completely betrayed her current condition.

Qingshuichuan sighed,

"If you want to laugh, just laugh. It's not tiring to hold it in."

When Shoko Toyokawa heard this, she finally couldn't help laughing out loud.

It was the first time that Qingshuichuan saw her so happy. Thinking of her worrying state before and comparing it with her current state, he felt relieved.

But he was still a little depressed.

Although he didn't know what happened between Toyokawa Shoko and the girls on the stage, he felt that what he had just said was correct.

Obviously, I just wanted to say something nice to make her forget about her sadness and feel happy...

Although her goal has been achieved for now, isn't she too happy now?

Finally, Toyokawa Shoko's laughter subsided.

She turned around again, her expression returning to normal.

I wonder if she can maintain this expression at certain special moments.

Qingshuichuan thought maliciously in his heart.

"Indeed, perhaps it would be just as you said. It would be better if a piano was added."

After a light cough, she returned to her normal state. Toyokawa Shoko did not comment on what Shimizu River had just said.

"Then why are you laughing?"

"That's because... I just suddenly thought of something funny."

"What's so funny?"

"It's a girl's secret, I can't tell you."

"..."

"But thank you, thank you so much."

"Yes, received."

Qing Shuichuan responded casually, like a husband in a period of fatigue, and then he asked,

"What's the name of that song?"

"Don't you know the name of that song yet?"

"The lead singer on the stage just now said so many things but didn't say the song title. How would I know?"

After Shimizukawa said this helplessly, Toyokawa Shoko's eyes curled up again.

She was very polite this time, without showing any extra expression, and answered directly and gently,

"Haruhi Shadow."

"Haruhi Kage... I always feel like it's a very gentle song title, just like the song itself."

"Ah."

Toyokawa Shoko responded softly, as if she was thinking about the past again, and her eyes became nostalgic when she looked up at the night sky.

At this time, her cell phone rang.

Qingshuichuan, who originally wanted to say something, chose to remain silent at the right time.

Shoko Toyokawa took out her cell phone and saw that it was a call from Mutsu Wakaba.

She hesitated for a moment, but still chose to answer the call.

"Xiangzi, are you okay?"

"It's okay, I'm..."

Toyokawa Shoko looked at Shimizu River and found that he had no intention of looking in her direction, so she spoke more softly.

"...with that friend I just met."

"..."

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while.

"That person is a bad guy."

"I can judge this myself. Is there anything else?"

"Can I come to you now?"

When Toyokawa Shoko was thinking, Ruoye Mu added,

"Su Shi (I'll still use this original translation from now on) is also with me, and she wants to come and see you, too."

The park is now very quiet, and you can hear the cautious voice of a former friend on the other end of the phone, "Can I talk to Xiangzi?"

This also prompted Shoko Toyokawa to make a decision.

"Sorry, I don't have time now. Let's talk about it later. Go home and have a rest early. Good night."

After saying that, she hung up the phone.

Qing Shuichuan stood up at this time.

"Then let's go, I'll take you home."

Toyokawa Shoko looked at him but did not stand up.

"Did you do that on purpose?"

"Ok?"

"You know very well that I just said that because I wanted to refuse, not to mention that we haven't even discussed anything yet."

Both of their eyes fell on Shimizu Ai who was squatting not far away.

The little cutie seemed to sense his parents' gazes and turned around to smile sweetly at them.

"I think you're in a bad mood today. Maybe you really need to go back and rest early. It's okay to talk about love later."

"...!"

For some reason, Toyokawa Shoko suddenly felt bad and stared at Shimizu River.

"Stupid dad, it's obvious that Mom is acting like this because she wants Dad to spend more time with her. You always say you want to take her home or something like that. You're so unromantic. I don't understand how you won Mom's heart in the end."

Qing Shuichuan was stunned when he heard this, his face full of disbelief.

Toyokawa Shoko did the same, staring straight ahead.

The sentence just now was not said by Qingshui Ai.

A girl with light blue hair appeared in the shadow of a tree not far away. She looked at the two of them with a smile, squatted down beside Qingshui Ai, then supported her armpits with both hands and lifted up the ignorant little loli who didn't know what was going on.

She gave a wicked smile,

"You were so cute when you were little, sister."

Shimizukawa and Toyokawa Shoko stood in front of the bench, staring at the blue-haired girl who suddenly appeared.

The surprise in their eyes was not just because of what she had just said.

It’s more about the other person’s appearance!

The strange girl who suddenly appeared in front of them... looked so much like Toyokawa Shoko from beginning to end!

Apart from the subtle differences in height, hairstyle and body curves, she looks like Toyokawa Shoko's twin!

After a moment, Ai Shimizu, who was picked up by a strange girl, finally reacted.

A pair of short legs flapped hard in the air, trying to escape from the other's hands.

Qingshuichuan also subconsciously took a step forward at this moment.

The girl smiled and put Qingshui Ai down.

Qingshui Ai ran into her mother's arms.

If the words the girl in front of me just said weren't completely unfounded, then...

"Are you..."

Qingshuichuan already had a guess in his mind, but he found it hard to believe.

"Dad, from the look on your face, I've already guessed everything..."

The strange girl put her hands behind her back and walked step by step to the front of Qingshuichuan.

She squinted her eyes and showed a mischievous smile.

“…About my identity.”

----

In the corner of the building near the exhibition hall.

When Ruoye Mu heard the busy tone on his phone, he slowly put the phone back into his pocket.

The bassist, Nagasaki Motoyo, who had been performing on the stage before, was now standing next to her.

Seeing that the phone had been hung up, she hurriedly asked,

"What did Xiangzi say?"

Wakaba Mu said in a clear voice,

"She said she didn't have time and wanted to go home early to rest."

"..."

Nagasaki Suyo lowered her head, recalling the heartbroken look of Toyokawa Shoko as she left the scene in tears. She was so sad that she could hardly breathe, her fists clenched and then loosened powerlessly.

"It shouldn't be like this... Why is it like this... Why is it playing Kasuga Kage..."

If I could have stopped Deng from saying those words after singing that song.

If I could resolutely disobey the atmosphere of the scene and cooperate with the accompaniment at that time.

Then Xiangzi wouldn't cry because of his injury...

It’s all me…

Ruoye Mu looked at her like this.

She wanted to offer words of comfort to her former bandmates.

But I don't know what to say.

The reason is due to the habit that Wakaba Mutsu has had since childhood.
