Anime Crossover Band, Rock Girl Won't Let Me Go

Chapter 65 Su Shi saw Xiangzi

The girl with sky-blue hair was wearing a white long-sleeved shirt and a gray plaid skirt.

Upon closer inspection, a certain fold at the hem of the skirt had been washed until it appeared whitish.

However, this is now the only decent set of clothes that Toyokawa Shoko owns.

even so.

Even in ordinary clothes, her unique charm is undeniable.

Her slightly round and pretty face looked somewhat tired at this moment, like those corporate slaves who had just finished working overtime.

This is indeed the case.

Shoko Toyokawa had just finished her work at the music store and was preparing to head to her next customer service job.

I knew the work I was about to do wouldn't be easy.

Toyokawa Shoko couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Just as she was slightly stunned, Bai Qiu walked towards her and waved to remind her:

"Standing in the street and daydreaming is not a good habit, Toyokawa-kun."

"Eh?"

Toyokawa Shoko was startled and looked up abruptly, her face showing a wary expression.

However, after realizing it was Bai Qiu, Toyokawa Shoko breathed a sigh of relief, patting her chest. She had thought she had run into a classmate.

Seeing Toyokawa Shoko's somewhat flustered appearance, Bai Qiu found it amusing yet also felt a little apologetic, and said:

"Sorry, did I startle you by greeting you so suddenly?"

"No, no."

"I was daydreaming." Toyokawa Shoko shook her head apologetically, then regained her composure and gave a slight bow, saying, "Long time no see."

"Yes, it's been a long time," Bai Qiu replied.

To be honest, the two of them didn't really see each other much at school.

Bai Qiu blinked and asked curiously, "But what's with this kind of young lady's greeting etiquette?"

Toyokawa Shoko's lips stiffened. Logically speaking, she had already controlled this habit, but she inadvertently showed it again after meeting Bai Qiu.

Bai Qiu didn't mind at all; instead, she sincerely praised him.

"However, Toyokawa does look like a well-educated and sensible young lady."

"..." Toyokawa Shoko forced a smile, but inwardly she was bitter.

"Did you just finish your job?" Bai Qiu asked.

"Yeah." Shoko Toyokawa nodded.

Then, looking curiously at the keyboard bag Bai Qiu was carrying, it wasn't the electronic keyboard she had bought at the music store last time.

"You don't look too good?" Bai Qiu suddenly asked.

"Oh, is that so?" Toyokawa Shoko touched her cheek after hearing this.

"Hmm! She looks very pale."

Bai Qiu nodded seriously, then leaned closer to observe it carefully.

Bai Qiu's gaze made Toyokawa Shoko look away somewhat embarrassed.

The distance wasn't very close, but for someone who had never been in contact with boys her age, it felt quite close.

"Could it be that I haven't been sleeping... no, I haven't eaten?"

Bai Qiu drew a conclusion.

No, I ate it.

Toyokawa Shoko shook her head and said that although she only ate a small piece of bread left over from the morning at noon, she still ate something.

"Cuckoo..."

However, her stomach made an untimely noise.

Shoko Toyokawa blushed with embarrassment.

"So... you really didn't have lunch," Bai Qiu said.

"I'm not hungry."

Toyokawa Shoko touched her belly, cursing her stomach for being so uncooperative.

Although her stomach growled twice, she didn't actually feel hungry. She just felt a general sense of weakness.

"You can't do this, Toyokawa-kun." Bai Qiu sighed and said earnestly, "The prerequisite for taking part-time work is to take care of your health first."

"I know……"

Bai Qiu sensed that she hadn't taken her words to heart.

"You look like you're showing early signs of low blood sugar."

"Think about it, what if you faint on the street because of low blood sugar?"

"Or if you are sick, the medical expenses are even more expensive."

Bai Qiu's words made a lot of sense, and Toyokawa Shoko was unable to refute them for a moment, her expression complicated.

These nagging yet caring words were something only her mother used to say to her.

"So please enjoy your meal."

Toyokawa Shoko nodded blankly.

"I understand, I will eat properly from now on."

"So……"

"Please resolve this."

Toyokawa Shoko raised her head in confusion.

Bai Qiu handed over today's dinner, which had been packed from Ji Don.

"No, that won't do." Toyokawa Shoko quickly waved her hand in refusal.

"You just promised you would eat properly."

“Then I can’t take your dinner,” Toyokawa Shoko retorted. “I’ll buy it myself.”

"You look like you're about to faint from hunger."

"But……"

"No buts, just accept it."

Bai Qiu said firmly, "Toyokawa-kun, are you going to make me carry this for ages again? My arms are getting sore."

He seemed to be recalling the previous two times they met, when he handed over a band-aid and a bottle of water, and he said the same thing.

Toyokawa Shoko was somewhat stunned again.

This time, however, before she could even react, Bai Qiu had already stuffed the bag of food into Toyokawa Shoko's delicate little hands.

The weak and cold fingers made Bai Qiu even more certain that she hadn't eaten properly.

Shoko Toyokawa woke up with a start while carrying the bag and wanted to return it to Shirai.

She can't keep accepting his kindness, because it will make her feel that the relationship between them is not equal.

Toyokawa Shoko said anxiously:

"Wait a minute!"

"I can't have it."

"you want."

"I'm not hungry."

"You're hungry."

"I'll go buy it myself, I'll go buy it right now."

"The line is very long now."

"Don't hide!"

I'll hide.

"Don't hide!"

"Be careful not to drop it!"

Ultimately, Toyokawa Shoko's attempt to return the money failed.

She sighed helplessly.

Then, with three parts anger, three parts grievance, three parts emotion, and ninety-one parts indescribable feelings, he stared intently at Bai Qiu.

Bai Qiu showed no fear whatsoever; instead, she adopted the posture of a victor, nodding with satisfaction.

"How much? I'll give it to you."

Seeing this, Toyokawa Shoko pretended to take out her wallet.

"Toyokawa-kun, I'm going to get angry if you say that."

Bai Qiu feigned seriousness and pretended to be angry, waving her finger and saying...

"A friend's kindness cannot be measured in money."

"Friends..."

Toyokawa Shoko fell silent. Since arriving at the new school, she had no intention of meeting new classmates or making friends.

Holding the warm lunchbox, Toyokawa Shoko felt her hands gradually warming up, but her heart felt even warmer.

…………

The other end of Shimobeize Street.

Two very beautiful figures walked slowly on the sidewalk.

She was elegant and mature, with a warm and gentle smile on her face, like a wealthy lady.

She was rather petite, and even when the people around her were trying to find topics to talk about, she would only occasionally open her mouth to respond.

If the two girls didn't look equally beautiful and young, people might mistake them for a mother and daughter traveling together.

Then the daughter threw a tantrum and refused to talk to her mother.

Nagasaki Motoyo made plans with Wakaba Mutsumi to go shopping in Shimokitazawa today.

On the one hand, we learned from Bai Qiu that Xiangzi might have appeared here.

In addition, Ruoye Mutsu is currently the only person she can meet up with on Crychic.

So she wanted to come and browse around.

If Ye Mu did not refuse.

When he first heard about Shimokitazawa, a hint of worry flashed through Wakaba Mutsu's mind.

Wakaba Mutsu knew that Shoko attended a school nearby.

But it's Saturday today, so there shouldn't be any problems.

She obviously didn't know that Xiangzi also worked here on weekends, because given Xiangzi's proud pride, she wouldn't have told her.

Then, Su Shi was very pitiful.

It seems no one is with her.

however.

Just as Wakaba Mutsu was thinking this.

As the two turned the corner of the street, Ruoye Mutsu saw a scene that she found somewhat unbelievable.

Xiangzi was standing with a boy.

More importantly, the smile on Xiangzi's face was a warm one that she hadn't seen in a long time, a smile that was gentler and more genuine than Su Shi's.

Has Xiangzi recovered?

Ruoye Mutsu thought of it.

However, even when she witnessed a scene that surprised her greatly, Wakaba Mutsu's pupils only contracted slightly.

Her face remained expressionless, as if she hadn't seen anything, as if this couldn't evoke any emotion in her.

However, the gentle voice that came to her ear quickly brought Ruo Ye Mu back to her senses, and she subconsciously reached for her phone in her pocket.

Should we notify Xiangzi? We can't let Su Shi see it.

However, it was too late.

Even if Ye Mu's pause was only brief.

Even with her keen observation and attention focused on Wakaba Mutsumi, Nagasaki Motoyo still noticed something was off about her.

"What's wrong? Xiao Mu."

Nagasaki Motoyo looked slightly puzzled and concerned, while Wakaba Mutsu quickly lowered his head.

However, Nagasaki Motoyo still followed the direction of her gaze.

Then, Nagasaki Motoyo's pupils twitched.

because.

She finally saw the figure she had longed for, yearned for day and night, and had not seen for so long.

"Xiao, Xiaoxiang!?"

Nagasaki Motoyo blinked, as if in disbelief, and exclaimed in surprise and delight.

Instinctively, Nagasaki Motoyo was about to rush forward.

Wakaba Mutsu pulled her back.

"Is Mutsumi-chan trying to stop me?"

Nagasaki Motoyo turned around, looked at her wrist, and said in a voice that had returned to normal.

Ruo Yemu didn't speak, but lowered her eyes and slumped her head.

Nagasaki Motoyo's heart softened, and she decided to go back to her gentle, lilting voice.

"Mu-chan, even if you hadn't told me where Xiangzi was, I wouldn't have blamed you. But now that I've found her myself, you can't stop me."

After saying that, Nagasaki Motoyo easily broke free from Wakaba Mutsu's wrist and tried to step forward again.

Fortunately, Nagasaki Motoyo temporarily stopped her actions after seeing a familiar figure beside Toyokawa Shoko.

Wakaba Mutsu breathed a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, Nagasaki Motoyo was lost in thought.

"Bai Qiu is here too. They really do know each other..."

Does Su Shi know that boy?

Ruo Yemu felt confused, then she gripped the phone in her arms even tighter.

Should we tell Xiangzi quickly that Su Shi has discovered her and that Su Shi wants to follow her?

But by now, it might be too late to tell Xiangzi.

Just when Wakaba Mutsumi was hesitant and indecisive.

Coming to her senses, Nagasaki Motoyo noticed Wakaba Mutsumi's subtle movements and said softly,

"Mu-chan, you don't have to do anything!"

Upon hearing this, Ruoye Mu's small hand stiffened slightly, then fell down, abandoning her idea of ​​reminding Xiangzi.

Perhaps she herself wanted to follow them to find out what the relationship was between Xiangzi and that boy.

Why can Xiangzi show that kind of expression in front of her, but not in front of her?

Seeing that Wakaba Mutsu had obeyed her orders, Nagasaki Motoyo breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, Su Shi didn't want to lose her temper with Xiao Mu unless absolutely necessary.
