First, Xiaoxiang sent a message saying that Xin...Nakagawa was sick and asked him to take care of Nakagawa... Then he met other people at Nakagawa's house, and finally was ridiculed by Hachiman-san... um?
But, it can be considered a successful ending, right?
Thinking of this, Nagasaki Suyo, who was stroking the ends of her hair, subconsciously looked at Nakagawa Nobuyuki not far away.
In fact, this guy was quite reliable today, whether he was catching up with Miss Hachiman or comforting Xiao Deng... Let's just let him stay in the band for now?
Composition... Humph, I don't know why his composition skills seem to have suddenly improved a lot, but if there is a problem with the composition, it won't be too late to kick this guy out.
At this time, Nakagawa Nobuyuki was still saying goodbye to Takamatsu Deng, who seemed a little reluctant to leave. He teased Shiina Tatsuki about the photo taking incident just now, in return for an unhappy look from Shiina Tatsuki.
Perhaps he noticed Nagasaki Motoyo's gaze on him, Nakagawa Nobuyuki seemed to remember something. After saying goodbye to Xiaodeng and Shiina, he gently walked towards Nagasaki Motoyo.
"Hey, Nagasaki."
Looking at Nakagawa Nobuyuki who was smiling and walking towards her slowly, Nagasaki Suyo suddenly felt a little unhappy.
"…You just remembered to say hello and goodbye to me now?"
She gently folded her arms, pretended to be indifferent and turned her head away. Perhaps the girl herself was unable to detect the strange sour taste in her words.
"How could that be...wasn't Shiina still here just now?"
As he spoke, Nakagawa Nobuyuki mysteriously took out a blue and white square box with an octagonal tip from behind his back. The box looked quite familiar, and he handed the milk to Nagasaki Motoyo in front of him.
...Isn’t this the milk in RiNG?
Nagasaki Motoyo suddenly burst into laughter and looked at the mysterious Nakagawa Nobuyuki in front of her in silence.
Haha, no wonder I didn't take it out just now? Because, wasn't Li Xi, the RiNG employee, still here?
"Really... Nakagawa, why do you always have to get milk?"
Shaking his head, this time he took the milk from Nakagawa Nobuyuki's hand without much hesitation, and then Nagasaki Suyo asked helplessly.
"Because you can't easily drink the other things if you take them back."
Nakagawa Nobuyuki shrugged, as if it was a matter of course.
However, from a distance, Chihaya Aine's cheerful voice came:
"Xinxin~Are you ready yet? The train might be crowded."
Hearing such urging, Nakagawa Nobuyuki smiled lightly and shamelessly, without any embarrassment at all, and waved goodbye:
"Well, then, let's take this milk as a token of our gratitude for Nagasaki's visit today, right?"
"… See you tomorrow then? Nagasaki?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Nakagawa Nobuyuki answered the call of the little pink-haired girl in the distance. Without waiting for Nagasaki Motoyo to reply, he turned around and walked towards Chihaya Aine.
"..."
Nagasaki Suyo let out a breath, blinked, and then looked at the ordinary milk in her hand.
Really, does this guy think I’m some kind of kitten? What’s the point of always giving himself milk?
Although she thought so, Nagasaki Motoyo still gently put the milk into her bag, then looked at Nakagawa Nobuyuki who was gradually walking away, as if she had told some excessive joke and was being chased by the little pink-haired boy, and then she slowly turned around.
…It’s time to go home.
At this moment, a slight vibration came from the cell phone in the bag in her hand, and Nagasaki Motoyo came back to her senses.
...Xiaoxiang?
Nagasaki Suyo looked at the extremely familiar avatar and notes, her pupils trembled slightly, and she subconsciously answered the phone.
Although Xiaoxiang has sent messages to me...this is the first time he has called me.
...Could it be that Xiaoxiang feels that he has done a good job and is willing to return to the band?
She imagined such an ending in her mind, even though she knew it was unlikely... However, this possibility made Nagasaki Suyo subconsciously want to believe it.
"...Xiaoxiang, is that you?"
-
Nothing worth mentioning happened on the way to send Chihaya Aine home.
After all, just like most things in the world, things often follow a routine and seem to be unchanged, but in fact they are just accumulating quantitative changes in secret.
I remember there was a horror game called "The Next Day", which was about daily life that gradually became distorted and abnormal, until the end, the place where everyone lived completely turned into a ghost town.
For example, if a sea-blue, out-of-place tent suddenly appeared at the entrance of Starry's stairs, it would obviously be quite abnormal.
Nakagawa Nobuyuki was holding a second-hand laptop computer that he had just bought from a used goods store, which he was going to use to use composition software, and was gazing at the rather eye-catching tent with a subtle expression.
...No, why didn't anyone on the street even look at it? This is obviously abnormal! Don't treat all abnormalities as performance art just because this is Shimokitazawa!
He was complaining madly in his mind, but Nakagawa Nobuya tried to look away like a passerby and walked towards Starry.
Perhaps, not being surprised by anything you see is also Shimokitazawa’s underlying logic.
Click.
"Good evening……"
Feeling the strong cold air rushing towards him instantly, even though he was prepared, Nakagawa Nobuyuki still shuddered.
"Oh, Nakagawa-san, you came just in time today too?"
Ichichi Hongxia, who was fiddling with a Newton's cradle at the counter, came over following the voice. When she saw that it was Nakagawa Nobuyuki, the ahoge on her head twirled slightly, and she greeted Nakagawa Nobuyuki with a smile.
"I'm glad I can make it to work... Come on, why is there a tent at the door?"
Nakagawa Nobuyuki tightened his clothes, placed the laptop in his hand steadily on the table, and then asked his question with some doubt.
Hearing this, Hong Xia's smile froze, and turned into a somewhat speechless and subtle expression. She gently put her hands on her waist and asked: "...Is it blue?"
Looking at Hongxia with a twitching face in front of him, Zhonghe probably had a similar answer in his mind.
Nakagawa Nobuyuki's mouth twitched as well, and he asked tentatively: "...Is Yamada in the tent?"
"…Yes, Ryo said that he couldn't find inspiration in his own garden…so he set up a tent in front of Starry's door."
As she spoke, Hong Xia sighed slightly, feeling quite speechless about her childhood friend who always acted on his own accord.
"But it's quite Yamada-style."
Upon hearing this, Nakagawa Nobuyuki could only smile silently, walked into the counter naturally, and sat down on the old sofa in a relaxed manner.
"…Speaking of which, what about Kita-san and Ichiri?"
Nakagawa Nobuyuki blinked and looked around. He did not see Goto Ichiri hiding in places like cardboard boxes and trash cans like a little beast, nor did he see Kita who was like a little sun. He could not help but ask curiously.
Yili is not the kind of kid who likes to wander around. Could it be that he hasn’t come yet? That’s unlikely?
"Oh, I think I saw something just now, so I took Xiao Xiduo out to buy something——"
Hongxia blinked and gently touched her thin lips, recalling Goto Ichiri who had just hurriedly pulled Kita out of the door.
As he was speaking, the door of the starry sky opened with a click...

PS.
Thanks to all my friends for their suggestions. From now on, the update time will be 7:30 a.m., which is convenient for those who go to class early to slack off.
PS2.
This is very important!
What's coming up is Soyo's explosion... It will happen soon, so those who are still raising it can inform each other, otherwise it will be embarrassing if no one sees that it has been reset so many times and brewed for so long before it explodes (

Chapter 158: If, if classmate Xin is dating me!
"Well!!!"
Kita looked like he was struggling as he placed Goto Ichiri, whose face was as calm as steel, on the sofa. One could even hear the faint sound of a steel pipe falling to the ground in the air.
"What's going on here……"
Nakagawa Nobuyuki was too lazy to complain about Goto Ichiri, whose physical properties could change at any time. He just slowly turned his gaze and looked at Kita, who was lying exhausted on the ground.
“…Hu…Hu, Nakagawa-san, wait a moment…let me…take a breath…”
At this moment, Kita was sitting on the floor in a very ungraceful manner, breathing heavily, and the ends of his fiery red hair were wet with sweat.
After gently taking the towel handed to him by Nakagawa Nobuyuki and taking two sips of the drink that Hongxia hurriedly took, Kita finally recovered a little.
Kita spoke weakly, telling the two curious people what had just happened...
……
"...Ah, Hong, Hongxia...Um, can you accompany me to the pharmacy?"
Goto Ichiri's eyes wandered around. He gently poked his fingers, tapped his toes nervously, and whispered a request to Ijichi Kouka in front of him.
"...Huh? I'm sweeping the floor now...why don't you let Ryo or Kita..."
Ijichi Hinikaka was stunned. Although she didn't understand why Goto Ichiri suddenly wanted to go to the drugstore, she still turned around and looked at Kita and Ryo who were sitting aside playing joker cards with each other.
"Hmm? What's up Goto-san?"
Perhaps because he heard his name being called, Kita, with white notes stuck all over his face, looked back curiously.
It seems that the situation of drawing the ghost card is not very ideal.
"...Um, can you go to the pharmacy with me...?"
Clutching his sweatpants tightly, Goto Ichiri's weak voice became smaller and smaller. Fortunately, there were not many customers in Starry at the moment, otherwise, if it was a little noisy, no one would be able to hear anything.
"Pochi, are you sick?"
Upon hearing this, Yamada Ryo on the other side also put down the poker in his hand, and looked at Goto Ichiri not far away with his poker face.
"...Ah, no, it's not me...but..."
"Well, anyway, actually..."
It can be seen that although Goto Ichiri was trying very hard to speak, she was stuck at the moment because she had too much to say, and the girl was almost crying out of anxiety.
"…Then I'll go and take a walk with Goto-san, okay?"
Kita looked at Goto Ichiri who suddenly became anxious in front of him, and was stunned for a moment. Without saying anything more, he stood up with a sweet smile.
In an instant, the so-called [Yangjiao] was shining brightly.
Under normal circumstances, Goto Ichiri would have been irradiated and turned into a pink wild snake lying on the ground... But at this moment, Goto Ichiri just nodded gratefully, grabbed Kita's hand, and hurriedly ran to the door.
"Hey wait, there's a note on my face..."
Ouch!
The door was shut hastily.
……
"So, you actually went to the pharmacy?"
Nakagawa Nobuyuki frowned and suddenly interrupted with some curiosity.
I probably never told Yili that I was sick today... Oh, if I really want to say something... Is it the tweet I posted at that time?
It’s quite normal if you think about it. After all, that small account is just following your account, right?
"I did go to the drugstore... and the clerk asked Goto what medicine he needed, but Goto had no idea what he wanted..."
At this moment, Kita Ikuyo looked exhausted, curled up in a ball on the old sofa, and complained helplessly about Goto Ichiri who was still sitting on the sofa like a sculpture.
"Then how did Xiao Yili become like this?"
As she spoke, Hongxia curiously poked Goto Ichiri's firm, calm, and stiff face on the sofa.
"That's why... When Goto was asked by the store clerk, he immediately hesitated and didn't know what to say... and finally suddenly stopped right there."
Tilting her head slightly, Kita Ikuyo let out a long sigh, and then spoke as if complaining: "I don't know why Goto-san suddenly wants to go to the drugstore or something..."
At this point, Kita Ikuyo suddenly blinked, poked Nakagawa Shin who was thinking beside him, and said in a low voice: "Nakagawa-san, it's not because of you, is it?"
"Because Goto-san is always very concerned about Nakagawa-san?"
She blinked her eyes excitedly, and at this moment the fatigue in Kita Ikuyo's eyes was replaced by a gossip color, and she gently moved closer to Nakagawa Nobuyuki.
