Society fears that young people don’t want to be literary godfathers

Perhaps a little embarrassed by the child's tricks, the girl turned her head and looked at her friends waving at her outside the car window. She reluctantly stretched out her hand and connected with her father's thick and swollen fingers:

"I'll have fun..."

"Okay!"

Gently loosening his fingers, the old father rubbed his daughter's little head as if coaxing a child:

"Play with your friends, mom and dad are waiting for you to come home."

“…..Long-winded.”

That's it.

The girl turned her face and said vaguely:

"Then... goodbye."

........

ps: The fifth update is completed! ! !

41. It’s okay to lie to your friends, but don’t lie to yourself.

After the Kurihara family's Toyota Century was gone, Kasumi Takegami and Yu Tsugawa briefly greeted Kurihara Saki, and Mochizuki became quite proficient in pushing his wheelchair and strolled through the streets of the town with his friends.

The autumn colors are turning, the light and shadow are mottled, and the surroundings seem to be hazy.

".......full moon."

Taking advantage of this precious alone time, Kurihara Saki, who was sitting in a wheelchair, whispered softly to the elementary school boy beside him:

"The form seems complicated now...what do you think?"

"Me? Just look at it like this."

Mochizuki pretended to be calm and said to his partner:

"You don't really think I'm afraid of my club, do you? Don't be kidding me. Today's street performers are singing our songs on the street. How could I be afraid of my fans——"

"Your legs are shaking."

Calmly finishing the attack, the silver-haired girl in the wheelchair gently glanced at the young man's trembling thighs:

"It's okay to lie to me, just don't lie to yourself."

"...Okay, I admit I'm a little nervous."

Seeing Ozugawa push away President Dog Eyes to protect himself and leave enough space for himself and his adoptive mother next door, the young man's expression lost any cover and showed unprecedented complexity:

"...How are you? Just now, Uncle Kurihara took you out of the car and asked me to help push the wheelchair. I haven't had time to ask you your attitude towards this matter."

"...I'm not afraid of others singing our songs."

Kurihara Saki raised her head slightly and said in a clear voice:

"Although it's incredible that we have fans in this small town...it's a good thing, after all, I've never heard anyone else sing our songs."

"...Why do you think so?"

Mochizuki's pupils began to tremble when he heard that the stepmother next door who lived opposite him said such words so calmly and calmly:

"Something's wrong... Why did you say such things so bluntly? Have you really betrayed our socio-terrorist class?"

"........"

The moment he heard what Mochizuki said.

The girl's expression changed slightly.

To be honest, if it hadn't been for what her father said in the car, she might have been so scared that she would have run away in her wheelchair——

But...perhaps because she remembered the promise she made with her father, looking at the young man who had always been by her side, the girl's originally turbulent heart seemed to calm down.

"....So, why are you laughing secretly again?"

Mochizuki narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the silver-haired girl in the wheelchair with a complicated expression:

"The smile is so weird... You don't want to secretly look at me, so I might be embarrassed at the scene, right? It's so scary."

"...You don't understand anyway."

Pouting his lips slightly, Kurihara Saki turned his head, and his voice returned to the same clear and clear voice as before——

However... in the meantime, the girl's tone seemed to be mixed with a touch of tenderness:

"Okay, isn't there a street performer singing our songs on the street? Don't be so nervous. I'll reward you with coffee tonight."

"...Do you want to be my child? No."

"The coffee is ground by hand."

The wheelchair shook slightly, and Kurihara Saki also made a gesture of grinding coffee:

"I still have some Jamaican coffee beans at home, would you like to try them?"

"I'm a rough person and can't understand this."

Although he is essentially just an elementary school boy, Riko Mochizuki is not as easy to fool as an ordinary child:

"Anyway, I only make instant coffee every day, and I don't like to drink it if it's not sweet -"

"I see. How about I make you a cappuccino tonight with a lethal amount of sugar and milk?"

"Understood. When you go to the venue, make sure you listen to the music quietly and you will definitely not be afraid of others."

"It's almost there~"

After catching the fearful boy next door, Kurihara's mother nodded slightly, her bright red eyes slightly curved, with a faint smile.

The boy who was bribed by a cup of cappuccino also slowly calmed down during the conversation with the silver-haired girl in the wheelchair. The social fear signal gradually weakened, and his mood was not as nervous as before.

Is this... a group hug to keep warm between social fears?

The young man didn't quite understand, but he felt his heartbeat slowly calm down, so he didn't say anything more.

Of course, Mochizuki was able to walk alone with Kurihara's mother and look like the years were peaceful, and there was indeed someone behind them carrying the burden for them.

In order to save Kasumi Takegami for Mochizuki and buy some time for her eldest son and Kurihara-san to be alone with each other, Yu Tsugawa was ordered to go to the nearby stalls with Mr. Dog Eyes. Unexpectedly, Little Chengzi didn't bring his wallet, and he exploded a lot of gold coins in one go, which almost made his eyes turn white and he flew up on the spot——

As a result, Yu Tsugawa, who was almost out of control, glanced at the good brother behind him who was pushing Kurihara forward as if asking for help. His expression looked exhausted, and he could no longer hold his nerve:

"Ahem, Ah Li, isn't it time to hurry up? I looked at it and it seems it's almost there... Why don't you take two steps faster?"

"Yeah, take two quick steps."

The little president with dog eyes, who never carries a wallet when going out, borrowed some money from Tsugawa Yu and bought a bunch of novelty gadgets, wiped the fox mask he wore on the side, and his voice had the same nasal tone as always:

"Let's listen to the music - Xiaosaki should be looking forward to it. After all, I remember that she is also a fan of Mr. Slothfish."

"...Well, that's right."

Feeling that Mochizuki pushed the wheelchair much faster, and feeling that the autumn wind seemed to become more and more bleak, the silver-haired girl also gently put on pure cotton gloves:

"There are many people gathered in front...looking at the moon, closer, closer."

"...Huh, okay, okay."

Mochizuki, who was somewhat unaccustomed to crowded environments, put on sunglasses and pushed Kurihara's mother forward step by step.

Who would have thought that two people who are quite popular on the Internet and tend to be introverted could actually look like godfathers and godmothers at this moment——

However... when the boy in sunglasses walked forward with a calm expression, stood on tiptoe and looked at the face of the mysterious street singer in the center of the crowd who only sang covers of Sloth Fish songs, the boy's expression suddenly changed. changed.

There is no other reason...just because in the middle of the crowd, where the street singer belongs, a petite figure appeared.

She was a beautiful little girl with smooth and delicate skin, short brown hair tied into pigtails on the left and right sides, and a pair of bright dark green eyes that seemed to reflect her heart. She had a smile on her face and wore simple clothes. Wearing a Uniqlo Mario T-shirt and a khaki short skirt, with a px-s5500 portable electronic piano on his lap, he looked like a little artist.

"...Looks familiar."

It took a long time for Mochizuki to hold back such a sentence.

When hearing the words of the frigid young man next to him, Tsukawa Yu couldn't help but be a little stunned:

"Why...it's really beyond my expectation. Does Ah Li actually know this girl?"

"...It seems we know each other."

Although they only met once, Mochizuki Riko could never forget that situation that could be called a social death——

This little girl...if I remember correctly, she should be the little heroine in the musical instrument store's promotional video, right?

"So, the so-called street performer is that strange Chinese girl..."

Mochizuki couldn't help but hold his chin, thinking silently——

And it is at this very moment.

Wearing casual clothes, the junior high school girl who was no more than fifteen years old seemed to sense something. She slowly raised her head and met the eyes of Mochizuki Ri, who was standing on tiptoes.

"Huh...? Wait a minute!"

The junior high school student, who looked young yet vaguely mature, showed a little surprise——

Taking advantage of the gap after singing a song, she put down the portable electronic piano and politely borrowed it from passers-by... When she finally walked out and saw the young man standing on tiptoe, Xu Yuhuai couldn't bear it. Live with a smile as bright as a flower:

"Sure enough, I read that right——"

"Celebrity brother, long time no see!!"

ps: there will be an update in the afternoon!

42. True fans

"Eh?!"

Seeing the little girl suddenly walking towards Mochizuki, at that moment, the friends around the boy were dumbfounded——

It wasn’t just the boys and girls who were confused...all the audiences who gathered here to listen to the song couldn’t help but show unusual astonishment at this moment:

"Wait a minute! What's going on...Why did this little girl suddenly run away?! Did she stop playing?"

"You can sing so well and solo is so fun, why did you suddenly quit!"

"Something's wrong! You suddenly put down your piano and came to the guy in sunglasses. There must be something fishy about this - wait a minute, the little girl just said that the guy in sunglasses is a star? Could it be a big star who came back to Toyama County to visit relatives? ?!”

"How is it possible that this extremely poor place can bring celebrities back? Do you believe this? But this guy wearing sunglasses looks a bit handsome..."

"........"

Suddenly, whispers came from all directions.

The discussion was like a tidal wave, and was about to completely drown Mochizuki and the accompanying boys and girls - fortunately, he was blocked by his sunglasses and Kurihara Saki's wheelchair, otherwise the boy would be so embarrassed that his little pearls would fall out of his eyes, and he would be shaking like a sieve. The legs are completely visible...

"...Ahem, um, classmate Xu?"

Looking at the girl in casual clothes who was holding her hand tightly and looking at him quite enthusiastically, Mochizuki really wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl in:

"What, what's wrong——"

"Hey, celebrity brother, do you still remember me?"

As if she was a little unhappy with Mochizuki's reaction, the girl's tone was a little excited:

"It's so happy! I still remember how you looked in a commercial not long ago! You were so handsome!"

It was precisely after the girl's words continued.

Passers-by on the street who stopped to watch the concert began to talk about Mochizuki's identity.

Perhaps because the information given by Xu Yuhuai was unprecedentedly misleading, viewers who had no idea of ​​the truth even began to imagine Mochizuki as an idol actor who went to the countryside to make movies, a Johnny's artist in advertising, and a talented young actor. ...A few curious girls even picked up their mobile phones and secretly took a few photos of the boy, trying to search the Internet for who Mochizuki Ri who was wearing sunglasses in front of them was, but unfortunately there was no information on the Internet. , the girls were a little disappointed for a while...

.........All in all, the atmosphere at the scene was too outrageous. If it weren't for Mochizuki who was still holding the wheelchair, this young man who was in perfect social condition would have been paralyzed and never got up again——

And obviously, the truly terrible trial has just arrived.

".......Commercials?"

As if he had captured the key words, Kurihara Saki, who had been sitting in a wheelchair, tilted his head with some vigilance and looked at Mochizuki Ri in front of him:

"How come I haven't heard of such a thing... Do you want to secretly become a big star behind my back?"

"?!"

Mochizuki's pupils trembled, and his voice suddenly sounded:
