Where are you going with this?
Not eating the same cookie, but eating it together.
Tomoaki, you're a bit of a turn-off.
Fortunately, it's me here, otherwise, if it were a pervert, they probably would have agreed.
Tomoaki nodded, then hurried to the kitchen and brought cookies and orange juice to Riku on a small round plate, inviting Riku to sit beside her.
Are you trying to appease me?
Your buddy isn't dead yet.
Riku was a little unsure of what Tomoaki was doing. The room was very quiet. Tomoaki would occasionally look up at Riku, then bury her head in her notebook, writing lyrics, the ballpoint pen making a rustling sound.
This is what a beautiful JK should look like.
Nagasaki Sosei, you should learn from this. Stop playing innocent and manipulative by pulling your hair. Let's study hard and go to college.
"Did Sosei contact you today?" Riku asked.
"Mm, she's been talking in the group chat. Did something happen?" Tomoaki asked curiously.
"Nothing."
"Really? Sosei-chan said she wants to form a band with me for life. I'm very happy." Tomoaki showed a faint smile. "I really like Sosei and everyone, and of course, I like Riku too."
Am I just an afterthought?
Tomoaki, you're going too far.
I won't take you on the helicopter next time.
"I want that too. Riku, be our mentor for life." Tomoaki smiled gently at Riku.
Riku felt a heavy weight on his shoulders.
"Let's not talk about that. Why did you want me to sit here to write lyrics?"
"Because these lyrics are written for Riku." Tomoaki said.
Riku looked at Tomoaki, feeling like he was facing a black hole with immense gravity.
I'm starting to sweat, Tomoaki-nee.
Chapter 59: Riliane, You Want to Hide Yourself for a Lifetime
Tomoaki leaned over the desk, seriously writing lyrics.
Riku curiously glanced over with his 5.0 vision.
[What should I say to you]
[What should I do for you]
[Just standing here]
[Has taken all my strength]
It looked like something a young girl would write.
But fortunately, although Tomoaki was also from Kyoto, her writing didn't carry the same sense of pain as Guo Xiaosi's. Otherwise, Riku would have been drowned in sorrow.
Promise me, Tomoaki, don't become a hair-pulling woman in the future, okay?
If you insist on doing it, change your name to Deng, then use Gaode Maps to find a certain twin tower in America. Remember to find the best pilot from the Middle East...
Riku (Lava Golem): Assist +9999.
Wait, I can get assists for this?
And why am I Malphite?
"Riku?"
In the quiet room, Tomoaki looked at Riku curiously, interrupting Riku's thoughts. Her soft voice evoked a desire to protect.
"Da... I'm here."
Riku almost said the wrong thing.
"Did Riku have a cherished friend before, but you parted ways?" Tomoaki asked.
"When I was little, I raised a rabbit. Later, it ate too much and its soul bone and soul ring exploded, and it died. I buried it in the tree downstairs. That was the first pet I ever had. I cried for several days when it died." Riku recalled. That was before he became the Abstract God King.
Tomoaki was stunned and showed a sincere smile. "Yes, rabbits also have life, so they can be our good friends too."
Why does it feel like Touma Zero is surprisingly close to my wavelength?
If you were human, we could be brothers. Unfortunately, you're a human-shaped black hole, so we really don't get along.
"I used to have very good friends too," Tomoaki said. "Saki, Mugi, Sosei, and Rikki... We were all wonderful once, but it was all because of me that everyone scattered. So I'm very grateful to Riku."
"Me? I didn't do anything, did I?"
"You and Sosei and Rikki are good friends, and you've also helped Aiin and me a lot. To me, Riku is an irreplaceable friend." Tomoaki looked at Riku with firm eyes.
Lu Yi propped her chin in her hand, looking surprised. She hadn't expected Takamatsu Tou to say something like that.
"Since we're friends, there's no helping it. Let's put on the Live together."
"Okay!"
Takamatsu Tou nodded, then took her notebook. "The lyrics are done. Lu Yi, do you want to see my lyrics?"
"No need, I'm not good at writing lyrics," Lu Yi waved her hand.
"Really? But Lu Yi, you write such good music, I thought you'd be good at lyrics too..."
You just don't understand, Tou.
People have to hide their talents. Just like how I originally wanted to go to the art department to find pretty girls, but the principal of Haicheng University came to my high school to observe. I couldn't help but show off when I saw the university students, and the Haicheng principal's eyes immediately widened. He put his hand on Lu Yi's shoulder and revealed a sinister smile: "Young comrade, you play the piano very well, but other trash schools might come looking for you. You absolutely cannot be deceived. You must hide your talent..."
Lu Lilien: How long will this talent need to be suppressed?
Haicheng Principal: Lu Lilien, you will spend your entire high school life deceiving other universities. The day of the college entrance examination will be the day you become famous throughout the country.
Who would have thought that old geezer was even more absurd than me!
I was deceived into the abyss by him at such a young age!
"Just send the lyrics directly to Ritsuki. As the composer, she'll be able to judge more accurately," Lu Yi said.
"Okay."
Takamatsu Tou nodded and picked up her phone.
Lu Yi glanced and realized something was wrong. Why was she video calling instead of taking a picture? I'm still here, let me hide in the closet first!
No, I'm not doing anything stupid.
"Tou, are the lyrics ready?"
The video call showed Shiina Ritsuki in her bedroom. She answered immediately.
