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

"Are you kidding? Do I look like actor material?"

"As for the face, they are quite similar."

"Thanks for the compliment - bah bah, I'm talking about character, not appearance."

"Hmm...it certainly doesn't look like it."

"That's right."

Trying hard to explain the situation to Kurihara's mother, Mochizuki said seriously:

"The so-called shooting of the commercial was just an accident... I didn't expect things to turn out like this."

"really?"

Kurihara Saki gently held his chin, his expression a little suspicious:

"Then what kind of accident would it take for someone like you to be so scared to shoot an advertisement?"

"...Um, Saki-chan?"

Kasumi Takegami, who had not interrupted for a long time, gently raised her hand and said:

"There is a possibility. Maybe Mochizuki-san accidentally walked into the promotional film set and accidentally got caught in the shot."

"Well...it sounds nonsense, but this is the reality."

"........All right."

Although she still felt that such a response was too abstract, Kurihara's mother didn't ask any more questions. She just left these words out of curiosity:

"I never expected that Mochizuki would actually know other girls."

"I'm also curious about this."

Kasumi Takegami, who was already very curious about Mochizuki's interpersonal relationships, couldn't help but put on the multi-prescription glasses she had just bought by using Mr. Dayu's gold coins at a stall, transformed into Sherlock of Toyama Prefecture, and started fictional reasoning:

"I thought Mochizuki-san was the kind of high school student who goes back to school and completely isolates herself from social interactions. I didn't expect that I would meet a junior high school girl outside of school... Mochizuki-san, do you like your younger sister?"

"...Can you not add such two-dimensional attributes to me?"

Watching Godmother Kurihara and Holmes questioning him step by step, Mochizuki shrugged helplessly:

"I just saw a classmate Xu sitting under the elephant sculpture and playing the harmonium, and suddenly I became concerned..."

"Is such that!"

Seeing the two sisters thinking so seriously, Xu Yuhuai's expression never changed, always showing a bright smile that was similar to his age:

"Brother Celebrity didn't say panic - well, should you call me Brother Mochizuki now? Really, Brother Mochizuki should have told me your name earlier, so I can only guess your name from everyone's words!"

"...Um, sorry."

Recalling the time when he was not even told his name to Xu Yuhuai because of social fear, he felt that the inexplicable social death was rising in his heart, and his toes were almost digging out of the three rooms and one living room——

but.

It was also at the moment when Mochizuki was so embarrassed that he wanted to hit the wall.

The girl named Xu Yuhuai just gently lifted her short hair, and her dark green eyes showed the luster of flowing jade:

"Well... I left in a hurry before and couldn't get to know you better. I'm really sorry -"

"So Brother Wangyue, can you let me get to know you better?"

.

After most of the audience shook their heads and left, a few loyal listeners curiously discussed the current situation in whispers. After Yu Tsugawa and Kasumi Takegami helped introduce the situation of Mochizuki to Xu Yuhuai, Xu Yuhuai also nodded clearly, as if he understood a lot of things. Smile:

"I see... Tsk, tsk, tsk, it's really surprising. Brother Wangyue is obviously a talented person, but I didn't expect him to be so socially fearful. What a strong contrast."

"Ahem...it's a matter of character."

Kurihara Saki, who has almost the same problem as Mochizuki and has almost the same level of social fear, added weakly:

"Some people just don't like to socialize around and like to be alone...I am one of these people."

"I see."

Xu Yuhuai nodded slightly and his expression became quite serious:

"I understand...it seems I still have a lot to learn~"

After roughly understanding Mochizuki's situation, this short brown-haired girl who looked quite enthusiastic began to introduce her own situation:

"Speaking of which... I wasn't in good health when I was a child - luckily it returned to normal by the time I entered junior high school, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to experience the feeling of youth~"

The brown-haired girl stretched out her arms, as if feeling the breeze flowing through her body. She didn't look like she was sick in the past at all, and her voice was quite calm:

"I have always loved singing. When I was seriously ill, I fantasized about becoming a great singer... But what a pity. After hearing the music of Teacher Sloth Fish, my dream of becoming a singer was shattered. ”

"......Um?"

Hearing Xu Yuhuai's words, Mochizuki was stunned for a moment:

"What does this mean...?"

"I don't mean anything else. I just feel that Teacher Sloth Fish is so strong that there is no way for me to surpass him - so I'd better choose another path~"

Xu Yuhuai gently lifted his chin, his jade-like eyes shining slightly:

"If possible, I want to be an actor!"

"...Your dreams are always changing."

I always felt that my dream of becoming a singer and an actor was a bit out of reach. Seeing the few people around me, Mochizuki also gently took off his sunglasses:

"Is there any reason? I always feel that you want to enter the entertainment industry, but you don't care about what you want to do."

"....(*∩_∩*)heehee."

The girl showed an incomprehensible smile and put her slender fingers between her lips:

"The reason is a secret."

"......"

I always feel that Xu Yuhuai seems to be hiding something terrible. Mochizuki Ri and Kurihara Saki, two sloth fish people, are somewhat concerned about this matter——

But...it is also the moment when young girls are thinking.

The girl gently opened her palms and said:

"Okay, okay... The chat lasted too long, and the audience has all left—"

"Brothers and sisters, if you don't mind, would you like to be my audience?"

That's it.

Xu Yuhuai smiled, put the portable electric piano on his lap, and sat on the chair:

"I will help you play Mr. Sloth Fish's songs for free - I hope you can enjoy it~"

43. Will it be sunny tomorrow? 1/2

In this way, Mochizuki and his team stood on the innermost floor, silently looking at the girl with the electric piano on her lap, without saying a word.

"Ahem...then, let's begin~"

Secretly taking a look at the audience members who had already left, and then at the brothers and sisters who were brought here by him, Xu Yuhuai smiled softly, and his voice became clearer at this moment:

"The weather is very nice today, and my brothers and sisters are also so supportive. So, I want to sing Mr. Sloth Fish's first song: "Tomorrow it will be sunny again?" (Will it be sunny tomorrow?), how about it?"

"Eh...is it that one?"

As a loyal fan of sloth fish, the young president of Momoyama Garden Comic Club’s Dog Eyes was also a little surprised:

"I thought sister Xu Yuhuai might sing "Unravel" or the latest song "Better Die" - after all, these are the most popular songs by Mr. Sloth Fish right now."

"Haha...yeah."

I just listened to the words of the little president with dog eyes.

For a moment, Xu Yuhuai's jade-like eyes turned, and his voice slowly sounded:

"In terms of popularity, the two songs Takegami-san mentioned are indeed very popular... However, the song "Tomorrow Is Clear" (Will it be sunny tomorrow?) is really popular for me. It’s very meaningful, and it’s also the song that moved me the most since I returned to school—so no matter what, I want everyone to listen to it!”

That's it.

The brown-haired girl had a serious expression, blinking her eyes gently as if asking for advice:

"Is that... okay? Brother Mochizuki?"

"...Why are you asking me?"

"Hehe, because I feel like I have a lot of fate with Brother Wangyue."

Gently turning on the electric piano, the girl's slender fingers tapped the keyboard, and her jazzy solo blended with the crisp sound:

"How about it, do you want to hear my rendition of "Asuka Haruれるかな"... Although I did give up being a singer because of Mr. Slothfish, but when I was in the hospital, the nurse sister said that I sang Very good——"

"...That's it, please sing."

The feeling of being suddenly called out was somewhat embarrassing...but as one of the sloth fish human beings, the boy still pretended to be calm at this moment.

He even wanted to cover "Will It Be Sunny Tomorrow?" "Ah...it seems that this sister Xu is really a long-time fan of mine. After all, before she copied "unravel", all the songs under the Slothfish account were quite popular. There are many problems with the production -

The arrangement is rough and the singing techniques are immature... The sloth fish version of "Will It Be Sunny Tomorrow?" " is full of various flaws. If Mochizuki hadn't been full of emotion when copying and performing the song, the listening experience of the whole song wouldn't be that bad. Otherwise, Sloth Fish's first song would really be a success. The clown among clowns.

At this point in my thoughts... The young man felt a little embarrassed when he thought that the dark history of copywriting between himself and Kurihara Saki during their youthful years had such a great impact on Xu Yuhuai:

"I never thought that classmate Xu would like this song so much..."

"Humph, now you know that I am a die-hard sloth fish fan, right?"

Xu Yuhuai blinked lightly, and then, the Juewei piano solo came to an abrupt end——

At the same time, the atmosphere at the scene turned from offensive to a melody full of bitter thoughts and tender meaning:

"Well, next - please look at me carefully."

The girl chuckled softly, and Mochizuki and the others fell silent.

Passersby attracted by the solo, teenagers passing by on bicycles, and children flying kites were all attracted by the music at this moment and stopped one after another.

It was at this moment of complete silence that the girl's gentle and mature singing voice also sounded at this moment:

(Hot tears cry out for love,)

(Where have the shining years disappeared?)

(Tomorrow, will I still be wandering the streets alone?)

(There is no turning back, trying my best to recall the beauty you gave me...)

"........"

After hearing such a moment of singing, Mochizuki's friends and the audience who stopped here couldn't help but tremble in their hearts at this moment——

What a soulful singing this is... He looks like a junior high school student who is only fourteen or fifteen years old, and he is not tall, but does his small body contain such energy?

.......Incredible.

At this moment, even the real owners of the sloth fish: Mochizuki Ri and Kurihara Saki, couldn't help but feel their pupils quaking at this moment.

Although she seems to be laughing and joking, she still seems to be a little unable to sit still. When playing the piano, she always shakes her head and enjoys the jazz with a smile. But when playing such a soulful song, the girl can actually sing with such emotion and fingering on the piano. There is no need to show off skills anymore, and there is a return to simplicity and innocence——

The ability to empathize is incredibly strong... What a gift!

"...Only a little worse than me."

Looking at Xu Yuhuai's piano, Kurihara Saki secretly said to Mochizuki:

"It seems that our fans are really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon... It's unbelievable that they can do this to this extent."

"...Suddenly I felt that I had done a great sin for letting such a genius give up music."

Mochizuki's expression was a little complicated. Looking at the girl who was playing the electric steel with her back to the rising sun, letting the breeze blow her hair, her thoughts seemed to come to the regrets from youth conveyed in the song:

(If you listen to your heart,)

(Maybe he said something to me...)

(Now the corner of the dirty street,)

(I always think of that sky.)
