A world only known by the God of Lost Love

[It seems that it will not be held until September. 】

"No, four months is too long...it seems we can't count on the cultural festival."

Ren Suzuki shook her head regretfully.

"So before the cultural festival, are there any other large-scale activities?"

【Well...it seems like it’s gone in my memory. 】

Kita Ikuyo on the other side of the phone shook his head.

【Is there anything you care about, Suzuki-san? 】

"Well, I want to find an event that can provide Goto Kazuri with the opportunity to perform on campus..."

Then, Ren Suzuki told Ikuyo Kita what Hoshige Ichichi said at that time.

After hearing this, Kita Ikuyo also began to think along with him.

[I see, before performing at the Livehouse, let her find her confidence in school first...]

"For current Goto-san, the level of society and the workplace is still too high for the time being, so I plan to let her accumulate some experience in the 'Newbie Village' first."

Ren Suzuki said:

"However, since there are no suitable activities, we can only think of other ways."

[Are there any opportunities to perform on stage on campus...]

However, on the other side, Kita Ikuyo seemed not to give up so soon.

[By the way, if you just want Goto-san to perform for everyone at school, it doesn’t seem that you necessarily need any “activities”. 】

"...Huh? What do you mean?"

[Suzuki-san, have you ever noticed... Our school has a radio in every class. 】

"Of course I know that. Occasionally, members of the broadcasting department will broadcast some songs or school announcements during lunch break and after school."

Having said this, Suzuki Ren instantly understood what Ikuyo Kita meant.

"School radio!"

[That’s it. With the help of radio, we can successfully let everyone hear Goto-san’s performance even if there is no event.Calculated this way, there is basically no essential difference from performing on stage. 】

"If it's radio, she doesn't even need to show her face, she just needs to play alone in front of the station."

As a stage for Goto Kazuri to gradually build up his confidence, the school broadcast is perfect!

"What a great idea, thank you very much, Kita-san!"

Ren Suzuki said to Ikuyo Kita very sincerely:

"Without you, I would never have thought of this method."

[It’s okay. After all, Goto-san is also my guitar teacher, so of course I want to help her. 】

Kita Ikuyo smiled and replied:

[Although I can’t be as considerate as Suzuki-san. 】

"…………"

Sure enough, in addition to Yamada Ryo, people like Kita Ikuyo who didn't pay attention to him will also clearly feel that he takes special care of Goto Ichiri.

It seems that a series of actions he took in the early days to take care of Goto Ichiri's emotions have actually turned into reality and left an indelible impression on all those involved.

Just like a lost basketball, the trajectory is destined to be irreversible.

Next, even if I don't do anything and just stay by Goto Ichiri's side, I think this relationship will gradually ferment over time until it is declared over [100%].

We have to let Goto Ichiri grow up as soon as possible before that.

"I will explain this matter to Goto-san in person during lunch break tomorrow. If nothing else, she will definitely object to this proposal. At that time, I will ask Kita-san to persuade her with me."

【oh!no problem! 】

Kita Ikuyo replied happily:

【Let’s work hard together then! 】

Just like that, Ren Suzuki's next action plan was decided.

Chapter 24: Like tango steps

"The school radio...?"

"Yes, I hope Goto-kun will try this way to get used to the feeling of being noticed by everyone."

During lunch break on Monday, Ren Suzuki told Kazuri Goto about the school broadcast as previously decided.

Kita Ikuyo also persuaded him:

"Goto-kun, you should also hope to be able to stand on the stage soon, right? As long as you adapt to the feeling of playing at a radio station, you should be able to become a little more calm when facing the live house stage in the future."

"…………"

Seeing the obvious hesitation and confusion on Goto Isato's face, Suzuki Ren also began to speak silently in his heart, preparing for additional persuasion after she refused——

"I understand……"

However, to his expectation, after a brief hesitation, Goto Kazuri actually gave an affirmative answer.

"If the broadcasting department agrees... I can give it a try."

"...That, that's great."

Because she was so shocked, Suzuki Ren even started to stutter a little.

"I'll go discuss it with the people from the Broadcasting Club later...but...eh? Is it really okay, Goto-san?"

"Eh? What doesn't matter?"

"You shouldn't force yourself, right?"

Ren Suzuki, who got a positive answer, asked with some worry:

"This is not a task that must be completed. It is just a suggestion from Kita-san and I, so it doesn't matter even if you refuse."

"That's right, Goto-kun! Don't force yourself! We will never force you to do something you don't want to do!"

"So...I'm not forcing myself..."

Facing the two people who were inexplicably worried, Goto Kazuri shook his head in confusion.

"Wanting to be recognized by everyone has always been my goal, and as a member of the band that ended... I also really want the band to get on track as soon as possible... So, no matter how I think about it, I should give it a little try."

After saying that, Gotou raised his head and glanced at the two expressions in front of him as if he had seen a ghost, and then he couldn't help but shrink his neck.

"What I said...is there any problem?"

"No, no problem, no problem at all!"

Ren Suzuki, who came back to his senses, immediately patted Goto Isato on the shoulder with a look of surprise on his face.

"I didn't expect Goto-san to have such an awareness! Don't worry, I will take care of the broadcasting department. Gotou-san just needs to wait for my good news!"

Having said that, regardless of Goto Ichisato's response, Suzuki Ren immediately walked up the stairs overjoyed and walked quickly towards the direction of the broadcast room...

........................

"...This is the first time I've seen Suzuki-san so excited."

Looking at the figure who left in a hurry, Kita Ikuyo couldn't help showing a dumbfounded expression.

"You've always been so steady and calm, but when it comes to Gotou-san, you become so positive... However, Gotou-san's behavior just now was indeed different from usual... Could it be that this is what everyone calls growth? ?"

"…………"

On the other side, Kazuri Goto was also watching Suzuki Ren's leaving figure. After he completely left, Kazuri Gotou withdrew his gaze and asked Kita Ikuyo:

"That...Kita-kun..."

"what happened?"

"Did you... discuss this plan on weekend nights?"

"right."

Kita Ikuyo nodded.

"Suzuki-san first asked me when the cultural festival was, and then we talked about the campus broadcast."

"Then... apart from the campus radio, did you talk about anything else..."

Goto Kazuri asked weakly at first, and then after seeing the surprised expression on Kita Ikuyo's face, he immediately shook his head and explained desperately:

"Ah! I, I'm not pressuring you, and I'm not worried about you saying bad things about me! I'm just... curious..."

"…………"

This reaction...is definitely not just curiosity, right?

From the time I just emphasized, and the question that was raised suddenly after Suzuki Ren left...

Seeing Ichiri Goto shaking his head, Kita Ikuyo gradually made his own judgment in his heart.

"Well, that's all the two of us talked about that night."

Kita Ikuyo answered truthfully:

"And usually, Suzuki-san won't contact me if there's nothing special."

"Is that so..."

Goto Ichisato nodded slowly, and his shoulders, which had been slightly tense since before, relaxed.

After seeing this reaction, Kita Ikuyo's judgment suddenly became clearer.

"Goto-san, have you ever tried chatting with Suzuki-san on weekends?"

"...? Me, me?"

After hearing this, Goto Ichiri pointed at himself in astonishment, and then immediately shook his head like a rattle.

"No, no, I, how could I take the initiative to talk to Suzuki-san! There is no suitable topic, and the way of talking is not interesting at all... Even if I chat with Suzuki-san, it is just a waste of his time..."

"Well……?"

He was so quick to agree to the matter about the school broadcast, but he became timid again when it came to matters related to the Suzuki Company.

Is it possible that in Goto Isato's eyes, taking the initiative to talk to Suzuki Ren is more difficult than playing guitar for the entire school?

"I don't think...Suzuki-san would think so."

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Kita Ikuyo said:

"And the chat I'm talking about doesn't necessarily have to last for a long time. Even if it's just good morning, good night, what you ate today, it's okay."

"Good night and good morning... I usually send them occasionally..."

Goto Isato whispered:

"It's just that Suzuki-san took the initiative..."

"…………"

Every time I hear Goto Kazuri telling things about Suzuki Ren, Kita Ikuyo can’t help but have an idea——

Sure enough, Suzuki-san still loves Goto-san too much, right? !Occasionally, you have to let her try to initiate a conversation!

Even if Goto-san is indeed an introvert, Suzuki-san cannot always be allowed to give his feelings unilaterally!

As expected, Gotou-san should be asked to be more proactive...

If Suzuki-san can feel Goto-san's positivity, he will definitely be super happy.

Ikuyo Kita thought of the Suzuki Ren who ran out happily just now.

Sure enough, in order for these two people to develop smoothly...she had to give Goto a little push!

"Goto-san."

"Yes?"

"Do you... do you want to become better friends with Suzuki-san?"
