There was a sullen tone in the man's voice when he said such provocative words.

Although the person in front of him is his son, Ichiri Goto is also the daughter of his important best friend.

If this boy really has such irresponsible thoughts and associates with the other party, whether as a father or an uncle, I will definitely discipline him severely.

"What are you talking about! How could I do such a crazy thing!"

Kotobuki Hikaru's expression changed.

How does he view his son...

Do you think of yourself as some kind of loser who is full of strange things all day long and indulges in carnal desires?

In fact, Kotobuki Hikaru's father did think so.

I couldn't tell it before, I just found out that this kid secretly bought some strange toys - referring to the strange two-player flying chess.

But it's normal for adolescent boys to have these thoughts, and he didn't interfere too much. After all, they all came out of this time period, so it's understandable.

But recently...

He felt something was wrong after receiving Qinbukiguang's consumption bills in the past two days.

This kid... seems to take more time to play than he thought.

So he couldn't help but worry that Kotobuki Mitsuru might have accidentally gone astray, and even led Goto Ichiri astray.

When Ichiri Goto came home and took off his coat and scarf, revealing some conspicuous marks on his neck, he was mixed with joy and worry.

"Since the woman has given everything to you, as a man, you should be aware of taking all responsibilities before accepting it." The man preached seriously.

Qinbuki's cheeks turned red.

This principle is indeed as traditional and conservative as my father.

But traditional conservatism does not mean that it is a waste that should be banned, nor does it prove to be a mistake.

On the contrary, Qinbukiang himself agreed with this statement in his heart.

"Have you never thought about the future with the Gotou family's daughter?"

"Of course there has been a little bit...but..."

"but what?"

"But this kind of thing is not something I can decide on my own. Of course I have to consider Ichiri's thoughts." Kotobuki said shyly.

"But I see that the daughter of the Goto family likes you very much."

Kotobuki Hikari naturally felt a little happy to be told this.

However, I felt a little restless in my heart.

There is still some tension, and I subconsciously want to... escape.

"I think for us now, the development of the band is the most important thing..."

In the end, he just managed to squeeze out a lame excuse from his throat.

It's just that the young man's eyes were wandering, absent-minded, and restless, but his eyes were completely lost in front of the desk, and he could see through almost all reality.

"This is just an excuse you made for yourself."

"No, I really want to start a band. I don't want to think about these trivial matters before I become a famous musician."

Ugh......

In a daze, Kotobuki Hikaru vaguely heard a sigh coming from nowhere.

Following the sound, what he saw was his father's serious face as always.

For a moment, Kotobuki Mitsuru even doubted whether the sigh he just heard really existed.

"I thought you had grown up and become a man with the ability to stand alone. At least you should not just run away when encountering difficulties like before. But now you are just the same gangster as before."

Qinbukiguang frowned, subconsciously wanting to get angry...

However, if you start a fight with him again after a disagreement here, then you have never grown at all.

"Light, you are just running away because of fear."

"I...I didn't."

The moment the words of denial were spoken, Kotobuki's heart trembled for a moment.

I'm scared...

In other words, I was just telling the truth.

At this moment, Kotobuki Hikaru realized this.

"You have already seen it yourself."

"..."

Facing the man's question, Kotobuki was just speechless.

There was no rebuttal tone, and I didn't know where to come from.

He subconsciously opened his mouth, but even the words "No" couldn't come out.

Finally, after several movements, it stopped, and Qinbukiguang still failed to make any sound.

"You're just afraid of change. Just like before, you started running away because you were afraid of unknown changes. But you can't always run away in life. No matter where you run away, your shadow will never disappear. You should understand that even if you are afraid, Only by moving on can you get true happiness.”

After hearing his father's criticism of himself, Kotobuki felt as if his shell had been cut open and everything in his heart was exposed.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with what my father said...

I am like a traveler walking aimlessly in the desert. My real goal is to get out of this desert and survive.

But he encountered an oasis with sweet water in the desert.

The traveler who encounters an oasis feels very happy. In his opinion, encountering an oasis in the desert is the luckiest thing in the world.

But he was paralyzed by the happiness he had now, and he didn't even have the courage to move on. He wanted to eat in the oasis and wait to die.

Moving forward means that you have to leave here and move towards the unknown future. You don't know what the scenery will be like in front of you, and you don't know if you will be lucky enough to encounter an oasis again or walk out of the desert.

After all, it is incredible that I have been able to get to this point with everyone since I joined the band. Of course, my father's help is also indispensable...

Without him, it would be absolutely impossible to be in this situation just by relying on myself.

"You are right, father."

After pondering for an unknown amount of time, I felt that the lights were getting a little dim.

"It's because I don't have the courage to face the changed status quo that I want to avoid moving forward, or even hope to stop moving forward."

This kind of thing does not only happen now. A long time ago, I have experienced similar situations countless times, but the choice I made was always to open the stall and run away.

"Honestly, when I joined the band, before I first started performing, or when I decided to make an album, I felt more uneasy than excited..."

No matter how many times I tell myself in my heart, don’t run away, don’t run away, don’t run away…

"But... I have the consciousness. No matter what happens, I will never run away as long as Yili is by my side. I will definitely go on with her."

The eyes between father and son intertwined and collided, as if a spark was sputtering in the void.

Without escaping the other person's direct gaze, Kotobuki responded with a firm gaze.

So I don't know how long it has passed.

Sometimes silence between men is also a silent communication.

In the end, one of the parties looked away first.

"Well..." The man narrowed his eyes and nodded lightly.

Qinbukimitsu took a long breath of defeat.

"This kind of thing should have been discussed by Naoki and I first. It's a bit difficult to expect children like you to make the decision." He gave Kotobuki a step downhill. "Light, do you have any other opinions?"

"No...no..."

What my father meant was already obvious.

If you are shy and unwilling to speak about this kind of thing, then leave it to him.

Qinbukiguang felt a little uneasy and a little happy.

For my father to say something like this, it means that he has already approved of it.

Although just because Yili's father and he were old acquaintances, he would never disapprove of Yili.

But...Yili's parents...is it okay?

Kotobuki Hikari couldn't help but think of the way Ichiri's father, who had always been amiable before, looked at him at the door of the police station.

It seemed to be more ferocious than a tiger, wanting to swallow him up in one gulp and eat him clean. It was the anger coming from his father's identity.

"After that, I will take the time to go to Naoki's place."

"Should I follow?"

"Children don't have to interfere in adults' affairs."

"Oh..."

Kotobukimitsu breathed a sigh of relief.

However, children don’t have to interfere in adults’ affairs.

Mingming just said that he has grown up and become a man in his own right.

"One more thing, Guang, this is the business I asked you to come here for."

Kotobuki Hikaru was just about to leave, but was immediately stopped.

Following the sound, I saw a man with a more relaxed expression.

"what's up?"

"About your band...didn't you say that now you want to start a band more than having a family?"

The man's words immediately aroused Kotobuki Hikari's curiosity.

He sat upright again and listened carefully.

"After the animation company used your song to make a trailer PV, the effect was very satisfactory, right... As expected, animation is a must in this country."

"Ah... that's very good..." Kotobuki Hikaru also nodded.

By producing animated music, the band finally made their first real pot of gold in life.

"And recently, a friend of mine's animation company has a new project. The opening and ending themes of the animation have not yet been selected, so this should be a good opportunity for you."

wow-

The drawer was opened, a stack of documents was taken out, and thrown in front of Kotobuki.

"Hey...original animation project? Our family has never been in this industry before, right...is my father still interested in animation?"

After all, this was not the first time, so Kotobuki Hikaru was a little surprised.

"Haha...if it was just an ordinary animation, I wouldn't put so much thought into it."

"Is there any other reason?"

"The music supervisor of this animation is a celebrity in the industry. If we can cooperate with him, it will be a good support for a new band like you."

"Eh?!"

As soon as the man set down, Kotobuki discovered a dazzling name on the document in his hand.

"Zawano...?!"

Chapter 2 The girl is taking a bath

Goto Ichiri is somewhat unable to adapt to a strange environment.

The atmosphere she was in at this moment made her feel scared all the time... She was afraid that she would accidentally make a rude move and make the people around her think, 'Ah, this girl is really a bumpkin. 'What.

"Ms. Goto, you can use this room as you like. Changes of clothes, pajamas, and bathrobes are already prepared. Please give me the clothes you need to change and I will clean them."

Under the leadership of the maid, Goto Ichiri was taken to a room on the second floor of the mansion.
