tokyo soulful legend

Chapter 243
In the evening, it started to rain coldly in Tokyo.

This sudden heavy rainfall successfully bypassed the meteorological monitoring, making the small probability event of inaccurate weather forecast become a fact again.

Sitting on the bay window on the fourth floor of the apartment facing the street, Takeda Risa, who just took a shower and put on a light gray pajamas, held a towel and wiped her wet hair while lowering her eyebrows and looking at the lights outside the window Dilapidated street scene.

In the rain, eye-catching red lights were lit at the intersection in the distance, cars wetted by the rain stopped smoothly in front of the intersection, and office workers holding umbrellas hurriedly walked across the sidewalk.

The raindrops hit the umbrella, and then rolled down to the ground, making a ticking sound.

"Shiori, if you have anything to say, it's fine."

Withdrawing her gaze from the window, Risa Takeda picked up her cell phone, changed the call mode from receiver to hands-free, and interrupted Shiori Kashiwagen on the phone.

This call was made 10 minutes ago.

It happened to be the moment she came out of the bathroom after taking a shower.

In a sense, the time of Bai Yuan Shizhi's call was indeed 'just right'.

Is it just the content of the phone call...

Risa Takeda frowned, her bright eyes reflected the call interface on the phone screen.

Bai Yuan Shizhi on the other end of the phone changed her usual straight-forward approach, and rarely made a circle with her.

From whether she had eaten dinner, whether she was caught in the rain, to her work plan for this week, and then to the sentence five seconds ago, which finally contained some information, "Are you free the day after tomorrow?" The point is to get to the point.

Of course, she is not against chatting with Bai Yuan Shizhi.

Without thinking about forced chatting and talking in circles, she quite liked chatting with this girl. In her eyes, this girl was quite interesting.

But now Bai Yuan Shizhi's way of chatting, she can only say that it is too stereotyped.

To use an example to describe it, it's like when she just graduated from university and set foot on the job.

There is an obvious "incompatibility" in his speech and demeanor, which is the obvious "purposeful" conversation.

But from her point of view, it was hard for her to say anything, so she could only listen patiently.

"I……"

Bai Yuan Shizhi on the other end of the phone stumbled.

After being quiet for a quarter of a minute, she asked with some uncertainty, "Is it okay?"

"..." Takeda Risa's expression became subtle all of a sudden, "Is it okay to ask? Of course I can, just be more natural, Shiori!
"Or, let me be more direct.

"Have you encountered some problems that you can't solve by yourself, and it's inconvenient for your parents to know?"

Based on her knowledge of Bai Yuan's Shizhi, there may be only one reason why this girl hesitated to talk, and even went so far as to have a family affair with her.

——This girl has encountered a problem that she cannot solve independently.

And there is a high probability that this question involves the girl's concerns.

Otherwise, given someone's straightforward nature, he wouldn't act so weird and stiff.

"I, would like to invite Sister Lisa to come to Baichuan High School the day after tomorrow."

On the other end of the phone, Bai Yuan Shizhi pursed her red lips, and timidly said such a sentence.

Regarding the incident that Yosuke Guqiao had caused, she could think of three solutions.

But after careful consideration, she passed both plan A and plan B.

Neither of those two options are so suitable.

Therefore, the only solution left is to ask 'foreign aid', that is, to ask Takeda Risa to help.

"Come to Shirakawa High School?"

Risa Takeda was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously glanced at the caller on the phone.

If she hadn't confirmed that the person on the other end of the phone was indeed Bai Yuan Shizhi herself, then she would have already started to verify the identity of the person over there, and even wanted to tap on the side to see if Bai Yuan Shizhi was It's a 'threat', can you blink in the air.

Take the daily situation as an example, not to mention that she wanted to visit Baichuan High School, even when she and Bai Yuanshizhi met in a coffee shop outside the school, the latter was a little nervous.

Whenever the two of them met, this girl would look around, nervous as if she were a thief.

In the words of a certain Miss Shiori, she didn't want to bring the matter of the library into the school, and she didn't want the students in the school to know about it, so she behaved like that.

In this regard, as the responsible editor of Baiyuan Shizhi, she expressed her understanding.

I don’t want to be too ostentatious, this is normal.

But right now, the development of things seems to have exceeded her expectations.

"That..." Risa Takeda was silent for a while, and asked tentatively, "Is it convenient to reveal the specific reason?"

If Bai Yuan Shizhi didn't want to talk, she wouldn't force her.

After all, everyone has everyone's privacy.

However, if Baiyuan Shizhi is willing to talk, then she is quite willing to hear the reason.

On the one hand, it was out of curiosity, and on the other hand, it was to prove her guess, to see if this girl really encountered emotional problems.

"There's a nasty person who's going to confess to me."

This time, Bai Yuan Shizhi didn't hesitate any longer, after deliberating over the words, he directly explained the reason.

For things like this, when it comes to non-large-scale events, she always asks Makoto Tsugumi to come, but this time, it is somewhat inappropriate.

"So, you want me to come and be your shield?" Risa Takeda paused, and then added, "As a sister? Or as a cousin?"

"Something like that."

Bai Yuan Shizhi thought for a while, and gave such an affirmative but somewhat ambiguous answer.

"What about Beichuan?"

Takeda Risa leaned back, straightened her legs slightly, and leaned against the wall of the bay window.

"He...for some reason, he couldn't come forward."

Baiyuan Shizhi's voice was a little more complicated.

It would be great if Beiyuan Linyin didn't transfer schools. In this case, she would be able to ask Beichuan Che in a logical way.

It just happened to be an opportunity to draw closer the relationship between her and him.

"Is that so?"

Risa Takeda turned her eyebrows away, looking thoughtfully at the outer edge of the rain-soaked glass window.

The dense raindrops blurred the vision, but it still allowed people to barely see what was going on outside.

This sudden heavy rainfall is getting bigger and bigger.

The rain is getting stronger, and the city seems to be covered with a thin layer of tulle.

"In short, this is the situation. Sister Risa, you..."

On the other side of the phone, Bai Yuan Shizhi took a deep breath, with a rare hint of anxiety in her tone.

In fact, she didn't know whether Takeda Risa would agree.

Yes, she and Takeda Risa have a good personal relationship.

But one code is one code, and when other people's work has already been arranged, it is difficult to find someone to make an appointment temporarily.

What's more, Risa Takeda also said just now that her itinerary for this week was already arranged last weekend, and the day after tomorrow, she made an appointment with three authors in the morning.

"I can come." Risa Takeda chuckled, "As for the appointment scheduled for the day after tomorrow, if I change the time and move around a little, it should be fine."

She had long been thinking about when she could meet Kitagawa and talk about Shiori.

Isn't this a good opportunity right now?

If someone gives you a pillow when you feel sleepy, how can you not cherish it?
She had to agree to both emotions and reasons.

After the words fell, Bai Yuan Shizhi on the other end heaved a sigh of relief.

"Then please, Sister Risa."
