A world only known by the God of Lost Love

"Lian... doesn't seem very happy."

At the same time, after seeing the constantly changing expressions on Suzuki Ren's face, the brightness in Shiina Mashiro's eyes seemed to dim slightly.

"Did I mess up again..."

"Eh!? Wait, wait, I never said I wasn't happy!"

Ren Suzuki was shocked when she saw this.

To be able to make this girl, who has always been neither sad nor happy, show such a sad expression is enough to prove how depressed she is at the moment.

"I'm just a little surprised! Really! In fact, I'm really happy and surprised!"

Suzuki Ren hurriedly explained to Shiina Mashiro:

"So, thank you very much! Shiina-kun!"

"………………real?"

After hearing Suzuki Ren's explanation, Shiina Mashiro raised her slightly drooped head again.

"Lian...are you really happy now?"

"real!"

Ren Suzuki nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

"Think about it, as [The End Band]'s number one fan, of course I will be happy to come to their performance!"

"that's fine."

After receiving such a positive reply from Ren Suzuki, the sadness in Shiina Mashiro's eyes, who thought she had messed up, immediately disappeared.

"Then, let's go in...their performance will start soon."

After saying that, she took direct steps, preparing to go down the stairs and enter the store.

Seeing this, Suzuki Ren quickly stopped her——

"Uh... um, wait a moment! Shiina-san!"

"Huh? What's wrong? Lian?"

"Before going in, I want to... make a little preparation!"

"Prepare?"

"Well! Just wait for me here for a while... No, no, you can come with me too!"

Because he was uneasy about leaving Shiina Mashiro here alone, Suzuki Ren decided to ask her to leave with him.

However, because Suzuki Ren was a little too panicked at this time, he temporarily forgot all the worries he had when getting along with Shiina Mashiro, and held her arm——

“It’s very close to here, just a few minutes’ walk away!”

"...!"

The moment Suzuki Ren held Shiina Mashiro's arm, a numb feeling like an electric current suddenly passed from the point where the two were in contact to Shiina Mashiro's whole body.

This was the first time Suzuki Ren touched her so forcefully and proactively. Compared with the gentleness and care he used to help her get dressed, Suzuki Ren's somewhat rough actions at this moment made her feel a little nervous. An indescribable strange feeling.

Although she wanted to calm down and carefully interpret the mood represented by the colorful colors that came to her mind, when she saw the slightly anxious expression on Suzuki Ren's face, she still nodded obediently.

"I see……"

So, under the leadership of Ren Suzuki, the two of them hurried towards the pharmacy not far from the shopping street.

………10 minutes later…………

“…Why do we need to wear masks?”

"Well...because Livehouse is a confined space and there are many people, wearing a mask is to ensure hygiene and safety!"

Ren Suzuki, who was simply covering her face, explained to Mashiro Shiina seriously.

Shiina Mashiro, who also wore a mask, nodded obediently and accepted Suzuki Ren's words very naturally as usual.

Immediately afterwards, the two of them walked into the [STARRY] store wearing the masks they had just bought——

"Welcome! Which band's performance are you two coming to see today? Ah, if you don't mind, I highly recommend the next [Ending Band] performance!"

At the bar at the entrance, Ikuyo Kita, who was still dressed as a waiter, greeted the two with a bright smile.

And as expected, when Kita Ikuyo looked at himself this time, he didn't behave too abnormally like in the original timeline.

It's a bit unrealistic to recognize him just by his hair and eyes.

After realizing this, Suzuki Ren, who was slightly relieved, immediately replied:

"The two of us are just here to see [Ending Band]. Here are the tickets and drinks, please accept them!"

"Huh? I obviously brought Lian here, why did Lian pay the money?"

"Hey, don't worry about such a small thing, let's go in quickly."

As the saying goes, things change late. In order not to attract the other party's attention, after handing the right amount of admission fee to Kita Ikuyo, Ren Suzuki hurriedly walked to the auditorium with Mashiro Shiina.

On the other side, Kita Ikuyo, who had accepted the admission fee, had secretly stared at the backs of the two of them...

"That girl... doesn't look Japanese."

Although Mashiro Shiina had already put on a mask at this time, her fair complexion and eye-catching long light blond hair still exposed the fact that she was not Japanese...

"Ah! Could it be that that is Ms. Mashiro Shiina?!"

Because she already knew Mashiro Shiina’s personal information before, Ikuyo Kita guessed the correct answer almost instantly——

"If that's the case, then who is the boy who came with her?"

friend?elder brother?Lover?

Because the contact time was too short, Kita Ikuyo is still unable to determine the relationship between the two.

However, when she was just waiting for the two of them to pay the admission fee, she did seem to hear Shiina Mashiro calling the other person's name——

"Is your name...Lian?"

Just by saying this name, Kita Ikuyo will feel a very strong sense of familiarity...

I always feel like I care a little bit...

"Anyway, let's inform everyone in the band first...especially Little Pochi!"

After all, she has been thinking about this Miss Shiina Mashiro for a week. Now that she has arrived, it is time to inform her quickly.

As soon as he thought about this, Kita Ikuyo picked up his phone and sent a private message directly to Goto Kazuri in the recording studio——

Chapter 30: Human visual field is less than 180°

[Ms. Shiina Mashiro is already here, and she has brought a boy named "Len" with her. If you have time, please come out and take a look. 】

After receiving this news, Ichiri Goto left the recording studio almost at a running speed and came to the audience.

Because the performance was about to start, the auditorium was almost full at this time.

But even so, she still found the mixed-race girl wearing a white sunhat and the boy standing next to her at a glance.

Because both of them were wearing masks at the moment, Goto Ichiri did not immediately lock in Suzuki Ren as before.However, when she saw what Suzuki Ren was wearing today, an inexplicable sense of déjà vu came to her heart involuntarily——

"Um... Excuse me, is this Ms. Mashiro Shiina?"

Although his tone was a little shaky, Ichiri Goto still took the initiative to strike up a conversation with Mashiro Shiina.

Seeing this scene, Ren Suzuki subconsciously raised her eyebrows.

(It turns out that at this time Goto was already able to take the initiative to say hello to strangers.)

It seems that this child is growing faster than he originally expected.

"...Well. It's me."

On the other side, Shiina Mashiro also nodded and responded.

"is there anything?"

"I am Kazuri Goto, the lead guitarist of [The End Band]! The person who was chatting with you on social software before is me!"

Goto Ichisato introduced himself nervously.

Shiina Mashiro opened her eyes slightly after hearing this.

"It turned out to be you...Thank you for telling me about today's performance schedule."

"What the hell! Rather, it is our honor to invite a famous painter like you to listen to our performance!"

"?!"

Hearing such a skillful and appropriate response from Goto Isato, Ren Suzuki almost couldn't help but exclaimed.

Although her posture, tone and expression were a little nervous, her words were

If Ichiri Goto's proactive conversation before had only surprised him with his growth, then the reliability she showed now was enough to be called "shocking".

If she grows at this rate...then it's no wonder that she is so aggressive at the age of 20.

"By the way, this person here is..."

After completing the self-introduction, Goto Kazuri naturally turned his attention to Suzuki Ren who said nothing.

After hearing this, Suzuki Ren first cleared her throat, and then deliberately suppressed her voice and said:

"I am... Shiina Mashiro's assistant."

In order to hide her identity as much as possible, Ren Suzuki specially made up a more convincing false identity and deliberately omitted her name.

However, after hearing these words, Shiina Mashiro was the first to react——

"! Lian... do you want to be my assistant?"

At this moment, Mashiro Shiina's eyes seemed to start to sparkle as she stared at Ren Suzuki.

Faced with Shiina Mashiro who was so happy, and Goto Kazuri who was looking at him with suspicious eyes on the other side, Suzuki Ren could only nod and replied:

"Eh? Ah...well, yes."

"I'm so glad……"

A very rare smile appeared in Shiina Mashiro's eyes.

"In this way, Lian will be my first assistant."

"........."

Seeing Mashiro Shiina's overflowing happiness, Ren Suzuki couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

Shiina Mashiro's expressions seemed to change more in one day than in the past month combined.

Was it because being away from home made her a little more emotional, or was it because she finally gained enough trust to reveal her true thoughts?

Ren Suzuki is unknown.

But no matter what, being able to make Shiina Mashiro happy is not a bad thing for him.

"…………"

At the same time, Goto Ichiri, who could only watch the two people silently, saw the way the two looked at each other, and subconsciously felt a strange and sharp dull pain in her chest.

(Why is this happening...)

Goto, who could not take his eyes away from the two of them, subconsciously pinched the corner of his clothes.

She didn't understand why just hearing the conversation between the two strangers in front of her made her feel so sad.

She didn't understand why when she saw this "assistant" looking at Shiina Mashiro, she felt endless sadness in her heart, as if something important was taken away by others in front of her eyes——

"……are you OK?"

While Goto Kazuri was still staring at the two of them with a blank expression, Shiina Mashiro suddenly spoke:

"You look...sad."

After hearing this, Goto Ichiri was shocked:

"Eh!? You, how did you see that..."

"...because the color of sadness is very strong."
