Chapter 230
"Just call me Ogura-kun- kun, um, I've studied that before."
Different people require different approaches—that's what Lord Asahi said.
For CDD members like Toyama Kasumi and Tsurumaki Kokoro, who have cheerful and unpretentious personalities, it's certainly possible to take advantage of their kindness and push their luck to get closer.
But doing that to a Shy girl like her, with her sensitive and complex mind, would only increase her defensiveness.
"Then I'm all ears."
"Then I'll begin."
After considering the piece of music for a moment, he made his decision.
Of course, he wouldn't play classical pieces in a tasteless way like he did with Touma Kazusa back then; he wasn't there to show off his skills.
Although he desperately wanted to play "KASUMIKAGE" on the spot, his strong self-control firmly suppressed this reckless thought.
Ugh! This is so uncomfortable, that damn sadistic soul of his!
If they actually play that, their relationship will be completely over.
He glanced at the cute and elegant Toyokawa Shoko; her eyes were still quite pure and clear.
After all, she hasn't suffered a psychological blow that caused her to turn to the dark side yet, but it's hard to say whether his playing of "KASUMIKAGE" will remind her of a past she can never return to.
With a light tap of the finger, the melody of that song from my memory began to drift through this space.
A few seconds later, Toyokawa Shoko lightly covered her lips, disbelief in her eyes, and murmured, "This is Morfonica's..."
Although Ogura Asahi didn't play "KASUMIKAGE," which might have been a major blow to her, she did play a piece that evoked her memories—music from Morfonica, her former favorite band, who also belonged to Tsukinomori.
It was after seeing their performance at the music festival that she grabbed Wakaba Mū's hand and proposed the idea of forming a band.
From this perspective, it's actually Senior Mashiro who's the real culprit...
More than three minutes passed, and he slowly stopped, gracefully bringing the curtain to a close.
"How about it?"
"...Very good," Toyokawa Shoko said, her gaze deep, one hand pressing down on her other arm, her small face showing a complex mix of emotions as she looked to the side. "Ogura-kun likes Morfonica?"
"I guess so. I really like a lot of Girl Band, like Roselia, Poppin'Party, and so on."
"I see..." She remained silent.
Last year's scenes flashed through my mind again: my mother's passing, the music festival, then Crychic, and then...
Gurgle!
Her face turned pale as she clenched her fists, her body trembling slightly.
Ogura Asahi, who was carefully observing her, lowered her eyelids and knew that this was the only way for today. Finally, she said, "That's enough for today. I'm sorry for keeping you here, but I had a very enjoyable chat with Toyokawa-kun."
Let's chat again next time we have a chance.
Toyokawa Shoko raised her amber eyes, somewhat surprised, but also relieved.
"Yes, I feel the same way... I'm very happy, and I hope to see you again sometime. I have something to do later, so please excuse me for today."
"Okay, don't forget to take these snacks with you, they're my masterpiece!" He pointed to the items on the table. "If you don't mind, please let me know your thoughts next time."
Toyokawa Shoko looked at the snacks on the table, hesitated slightly before putting them away, and said, "I understand, thank you, goodbye."
Watching her hurried departure, he felt no regret. Trying to accomplish anything in a day was far too hasty.
He gazed out the window at the beautifully designed, spacious, and newly equipped Haneoka campus and couldn't help but sigh.
So, it turns out the environment for Rowing Boat was the worst?
You need to stand up straight! Rowing Boat!
I glanced at the time; it hadn't been long since school ended.
Although it's not too late to go to work at Starry now, or even to see Tomori, he's already been booked, which is why he sent the request to Yukino Shita Yukino earlier.
After nurturing myself for so long, it's finally time to put my skills to use! Go, Yukino!
Before the Wind Ensemble Club members arrived, he closed the Keyboard cover, took a large mask from his bag, put it on, and walked out of the classroom.
My face is still too conspicuous. After all, I'm an intruder who sneaked in. I should be mindful of my presence when walking in the corridor during Takamine hours.
He changed his shoes at the shoe cabinet and left Haneoka.
Because of the mask, although a small number of people were curious about him, most people didn't care at all.
After successfully leaving the school and getting on the bus, he began to change his clothes, reverting to his Sakurakoji Talent.
This morning, at Ashiya High School.
During the break, Ouka Mai frowned and bit her lip, looking melancholy.
Puzzled by her unnatural expression Koto Satsuki asked, "What's wrong with you today? Why are you like this?"
Hearing her voice, Ouka Mai looked over and tearfully said, "I didn't see him yesterday."
"Who?" The question had barely left her mouth when Koto Satsuki realized, "The person you like?"
"Um."
"Hmph, he's deliberately avoiding you, isn't he?" Koto Satsuki was in high spirits. She would support anything that could make the person in front of her feel frustrated.
Although she was indeed his most important friend, she was also the person he resented the most.
"How could that be!" Ouka Mai retorted, but quickly murmured melancholy, "No, perhaps it's not impossible..."
"You deserve it! Who told you to treat him like that!"
"Because I just couldn't control myself back then!" Ouka Mai had tears in her eyes, her expression like that of an abandoned golden retriever.
After admiring her pitiful appearance for a while, and even taking a picture to save it, Koto Satsuki looked up with satisfaction and asked, "So? What are you planning to do?"
Chapter 284 The Expansion of the Beautiful Maid Team
"I'm thinking of going again after school today, but I don't know if he'll be home..."
"That person must be really amazing to be able to be so infatuated with Ouka," Amo Reiko exclaimed.
What kind of person could be so captivating to Miss Perfect?
"Hmph, what if he wasn't home today either?" Koto Satsuki's voice was clear beneath her aloof exterior.
"Then I'll be so lonely I'll die..." Ouka Mai's eyes gradually died. "In Chinese terms, it's like the feeling of 'a day apart feels like three autumns'?"
Didn't you ask his family where he went?
"His parents are active in the America, and he doesn't live in the mansion. The house he lives in now only has a maid, his sister, and Relatives, but his sister and the others live downstairs and probably don't know much about him. The maid is also reluctant to tell me."
"A mansion? A maid?!" Amo Reiko exclaimed, her F-cup breasts jerking violently, creating quite a ripple.
"Wow~" Senna Ajisai exclaimed in surprise, covering her mouth.
"Oh, so he's a Young Master." Koto Satsuki remarked calmly.
"Aren't you surprised, Satsuki- san?" Amo Reiko couldn't shake off the feeling.
"Since I've been spending all my time with True Wei, I don't have any particular feelings."
"Well, you're right. If we're talking about people who are good enough for Ouka, there's probably only one type..."
Ouka Mai shook her head to correct him. "Even so, the reason I like him has nothing to do with his family background."
"Well, you're the kind of woman who, once you fall in love, will rush headlong into it without a second thought, right?"
"Haha! You really know me, Satsuki!" Ouka Mai laughed and patted her shoulder, then suddenly, "Hmm?"
Looking at Koto Satsuki's beautiful, icy-cold face, something seemed to connect in her mind, and she closed her beautiful eyes slightly. "Right, Satsuki! Come with me after school!"
"Huh? Me? Why?"
"Well, well! Just keep my anxious friend company!"
You couldn't tell at all that he was nervous.
"N-no, that's not true... Actually, I was incredibly nervous, afraid he wouldn't be here again, really."
"If you're so worried, why don't you just send him a text message beforehand? You should have his contact information, right?"
"Yes, there is, but for the first message, I want to send something more meaningful..."
"You'll be timid! You'll just live a lonely life forever!"
"Ugh~ I'll send it, I'll send it, okay! Oh well, there's no way." She took out her phone with a hint of regret and found someone whose contact name was Darling.
After editing the message, I pressed the send button with trembling fingers.
After returning to the apartment,
With somewhat heavy steps, Sakurakoji Talent entered his room.
He knew the other party had arrived after being informed by Aoyama Nanami.
If he hadn't known that Aoyama Nanami was also there, he really wouldn't have dared to Ouka Mai Mayu, because he couldn't predict what the other woman might suddenly do.
Given his current situation, the other party is really a nemesis to him.
Considering the other person's personality, even if he was angry, he couldn't retaliate violently. Even if the other person forced him, he couldn't just slap them like a piece of Scummy Pink-haired Girl.
This is so frustrating!
However, this feeling of being weighed down by gravity vanished instantly upon seeing the target.
His eyes narrowed slightly as he glanced at the two people sitting on the living room sofa, and a smug, amused smile appeared on his lips.
Plans in place!
On the sofa, two rare beauties, one in gold and one in black, one warm and one cold, complemented each other, and were none other than Ouka Mai and Koto Satsuki.
Koto Satsuki looked around at this luxurious duplex apartment, which Ouka Mai's, didn't have its own outdoor terrace and private elevator, but was still Loft Apartment on the top floor, her eyes filled with curiosity.
Is this their residence?
Considering this is an apartment building, and the height is extremely high, besides being normal, she also had a unique feeling about it.
Seriously, is she really a maid?
She looked at Aoyama Nanami, who was standing to one side, with surprise in her eyes. Although she had seen Ouka Mai in a suit and tuxedo as a servant, she had never seen her in Maid Outfit before.
"Ah, Talent, you're back!"
Hearing the slightly surprised voice of Ouka Mai, she followed her gaze.
A beautiful, long, straight silver hair that shimmered in the sunlight, and the other person's flawless, angelic face, immediately caught her eye, causing her pupils to shrink slightly.
Even though she was used to seeing her own and Ouka Mai beauty, the other person still gave her a moment of amazement.
What?! The other person was actually a woman?! But Ouka Mai said...
Furthermore, her height is relatively tall compared to women, but considering Ouka Mai's profession—is she also a famous model?
"Good afternoon, Miss Wangzhong." Sakurakoji Talent looked at her calmly, expressing his opinion with his eyes.
"Ugh! Why, why would you say such malicious things?"
Ouka Mai clutched her chest, her expression heartbroken as she accused him of his evil deeds. "Didn't you promise to call me True Wei?"
He sat down on the individual chair next to him, sighed, and rested his chin on his hand, feigning sadness. "After doing that to me, do you really expect me to keep calling you that?"
"Mmm, "Koto Satsuki nodded in agreement.
"That kind of thing?" Aoyama Nanami looked over with suspicion.
"Th-that's... I understand. So what will it take for you to forgive me?" Without offering any explanation, Ouka Mai looked at him pitifully with her eyes wide open.
"Hmph, unless you lick my shoes." He crossed his legs and weighed his indoor shoes in his hand.
"Eh? Young Master! That's too much..." Aoyama Nanami tried to stop him.
"I understand!" Ouka Mai's gaze was resolute. "If this will make you forgive me!"
After saying that, she didn't hesitate and crawled towards him.
