The night passed without a word.
Time arrived at the morning of the next day.
Breakfast at 8 AM, Tsuchigumo Hotaru left for school as usual.
He was currently waiting for the elevator in the spacious corridor.
At this moment, Nagasaki Soyo also happened to come out of her room, and seeing Tsuchigumo Hotaru, she politely greeted him.
"Good… Good morning, Tsuchigumo-jun."
Nagasaki Soyo secretly breathed a sigh of relief, she almost used her school greeting mode.
"Morning, Nagasaki…-san."
Tsuchigumo Hotaru looked at her with a hint of surprise.
Unlike yesterday's disheveled, dusty, and clumsy appearance.
Today, Miss Nagasaki Soyo was neatly dressed, wearing a school uniform without a single wrinkle, and a warm, gentle smile graced her soft cheeks.
On the surface, she looked like a rich young lady.
Yet, one could also feel her approachability and gentle thoughtfulness.
Seeing Tsuchigumo Hotaru's surprised expression, Nagasaki Soyo smiled slightly, feeling a little smug.
Because yesterday's incident, to her, felt too embarrassing.
"Is your foot okay?"
Tsuchigumo Hotaru asked, lowering his head slightly.
Nagasaki Soyo recalled yesterday's events, her pretty face flushed slightly, but she quickly recovered.
"Yes, thank you for your concern. After icing it, it's much better after a night."
Tsuchigumo Hotaru nodded.
Since both were going to the station, their paths inevitably coincided.
Along the way, Nagasaki Soyo elegantly and politely found topics to avoid awkwardness.
At the station, the two politely bid farewell.
Nagasaki Soyo's gentle demeanor also reminded Tsuchigumo Hotaru of another person.
The great angel Nijika of Shimokitazawa.
He really wanted to see Nijika soon…
Gotou Hitori spent last night in anticipation and trepidation.
Anticipating whether Tsuchigumo Hotaru would send her a message.
What do people usually chat about with a newly added Line friend?
Should she be the one to proactively send a greeting?
Waking up from her sleep.
Gotou Hitori's excitement had cooled somewhat.
After calming down, Gotou Hitori started to panic.
Because she thought of a serious problem.
After forming a band, that meant going to a live house and performing live.
This meant she had to stand on a high stage, stared at by hundreds of eyes.
Playing the guitar.
No, no, no… This was absolutely impossible for her to do.
Also, when there were outsiders present, her guitar skills would become very terrible.
Tsuchigumo Hotaru would definitely not forgive her if he found out.
So, should she confess earlier…
Gotou Hitori began to be plagued by gains and losses.
As happy as she was yesterday, she was just as sad today.
After school.
Shimokitazawa Park.
In the shadows.
Gotou Hitori sat alone on a swing.
She didn't even dare to swing, her eyes vacant.
After a day of painful struggle at school, Gotou Hitori finally mustered the courage to send a message to Tsuchigumo Hotaru on Line.
Then she waited here for the judgment of death.
Tsuchigumo Hotaru looked at the message from Gotou Hitori.
"Lord Tsuchigumo, I apologize for disturbing you. Could you please come to Shimokitazawa Park after school? I have something to report."
Although he was speechless at Gotou Hitori's wording, Tsuchigumo Hotaru replied immediately, "Okay."
On the other side, Gotou Hitori looked at an office worker man on a bench and thought with a very dark heart.
You must also be as lonely as I am.
That person must be unsuccessful in his career, and his family must be in discord…
"Daddy!"
A cute little girl pounced into the office worker man's arms.
The man smiled and gently stroked the child's hair.
"Sorry, we're late."
The girl's mother walked up and said gently.
"It's okay, it's okay, let's go eat!"
Under the sunlight, the three held hands, full of joy.
What a harmonious and warm scene.
Ah… it's a loving family…
However, this was a huge blow to Gotou Hitori.
I'm sorry! For presuming you were like me…
Gotou Hitori shed sad tears.
"Gotō-san!"
Only Gotou Hitori was left in the park, and Tsuchigumo Hotaru saw her from afar, waving and calling her.
Before Tsuchigumo Hotaru could walk up to her.
Gotou Hitori did a super-speed slide tackle and knelt directly in front of Tsuchigumo Hotaru.
At the same time, she handed out a piggy bank.
"I… I'm sorry! Lord Tsuchigumo, I… I deceived you. This is my wedding fund that my mother helped me save. Please, you must accept it, don't hit me…"
Gotou Hitori closed her eyes tightly, raised her hands, trembling.
She looked like she was at the mercy of others.
What the!
Tsuchigumo Hotaru was stunned, why do you kneel at the drop of a hat!
And, can you teleport?
Tsuchigumo Hotaru wondered, "What did you lie to me about?"
"Also, get up…"
Tsuchigumo Hotaru felt quite helpless.
If he didn't know Gotou Hitori's character setting, his little heart would definitely not be able to take it.
Fortunately, there were no other people in the park; if passersby saw this, he wouldn't know how to explain it.
"Wow! A guitar!"
A surprised and lively voice came from behind.
Oh no!
The figure of an angel appeared in Tsuchigumo Hotaru's mind, but you might have come at the wrong time…
Then Tsuchigumo Hotaru turned his head with some difficulty, only to see two unexpected figures.
These two were wearing the same school uniform as Gotou Hitori.
"Wait, Ritsu, that's school bullying…"
Akiyama Mio pulled Tainaka Ritsu, clinging to her side and trembling slightly, whispering.
