In Tokyo, there is a music girl training system

【Name: Toyokawa Shoko】

[Current piano playing level: fair↑ (63%)]

Okay.

Compared to Hoshino Ai's ordinary level, Xiangzi's foundation is much better. Not to mention that she has already reached the level, the 63% progress also means that she is not too far away from the road to excellence.

It's a pity that excellence is excellence and a master is a master. If Toyokawa Shoko wants to reach the level of a master, she still has a long way to go.

of course.

This "long" refers to the past, but the past is the past and the present is the present. Now with the help provided by Ruyu, Toyokawa Shoko's path to becoming a master will naturally be much smoother.

It's just a pity that although the funds given by the system this time have increased a lot, it is still not enough in Luyu's opinion. If he gives a few billion yen directly, then Luyu can directly go across the country to find a world-class pianist to give one-on-one tutoring to Toyokawa Shoko.

The settlement method of the training funds provided by Lu Yu's system is calculated based on how much Lu Yu spends on the training target. The more he spends, the less funds he can get at the time of settlement.

So although it seems that Ruyu is extravagant, in fact, Ruyu still carefully calculated when spending money on Hoshino Ai and Shoko.

For example, Xiangzi's piano, the price of 6 million yen seems very high, but this is the result of Lu Yu's careful analysis. The higher the price of the piano, the better the material and effect. Xiangzi needs to reach the master level, and a master-level piano cannot be an inferior product.

Six million yen is equivalent to about 280,000 Chinese Yuan. A 280,000-yuan piano is indeed a luxury for a novice, but what if this person wants to become a master?

It is highly likely that Ruyu will not buy a second piano for Xiangzi, so this budget is actually based on the master's level. From the master's perspective, a piano worth 6 million yen is just good enough to be used. It is not really that good.

Using the training funds given by the system to train the target at the lowest cost is Lu Yu's current job. Of course, the more money the better, but if you save too much, you won't be able to complete the task, so Lu Yu didn't say that he would deliberately save money.

In Lu Yu's eyes, the training funds are given to these heroines by the system, and he cannot take them out for his own use, so the most important thing is to let these heroines grow up quickly and solve their difficulties.

As for the issue of expenses, he himself was in good health anyway, so there was no need for him to deliberately withhold funds just to get more rewards.

Arriving in front of the piano shop, Lu Yu asked, "Xiangzi, do you have an ideal place to practice?"

There is definitely no space for a piano in Xiangzi's home, and Xiangzi's future practice will require staying overnight, so Lu Yu plans to ask Xiangzi if he has a suitable place. If so, he will directly pay to rent it.

"A place to practice?"

When hearing this question, Toyokawa Shoko's first thought was live house.

Xiangzi herself knew that her home was not suitable for a piano, so her idea was to rent a performance hall in a live house to make contact.

But after thinking about it, Xiangzi gave up the idea. Although the rent of the live house would not be too high, in Xiangzi's eyes, this money was completely unnecessary to spend. She had decided to help Lu Yu save money, so naturally she had to consider him more when spending money.

"No, there is no way I can put a piano in my house right now."

"Is that so?" Lu Yu nodded. Since Xiangzi didn't have a suitable place, he planned to help Xiangzi rent a house for practice. "Then Xiangzi, I will help you..."

But before Lu Yu could say anything, Xiangzi interrupted him.

"Lu Yu, do you live alone now?"

"Yes."

"That's fine. If there's no suitable place, why don't we just go to your house?"

Volume 1: Chapter 14 Is this what he eats?

"excuse me......"

Arriving at a rather secluded two-story detached building, Shoko Toyokawa stood at the door and curiously looked through the door at the furnishings inside the house.

"..."

How should I put it? Seeing the furnishings inside the house, Toyokawa Shoko was a little surprised because the furnishings inside the house looked a little too plain.

Is this really a rich man’s home?

Whether looking from the outside or the interior furnishings, this is clearly the home of a very ordinary family!

"Come right in, there's no one else in my house."

Looking at Toyokawa Shoko standing blankly outside the door, Lu Yu thought she was worried about whether there was anyone else at home.

"Oh."

Walking into the house, Toyokawa Shoko took off her small leather boots at the entrance and said, "Sabiha, can you give me a pair of indoor shoes?"

"Indoor shoes? No need, just come in."

"Ugh?"

Xiangzi was stunned. Do I not even need to change my indoor shoes?

Seeing Xiangzi's stunned look, Lu Yu was a little embarrassed: "I didn't expect you to come. I live alone here, so I didn't prepare any indoor shoes for women. Anyway, I'm the only one living here, Xiangzi, you can just come in."

The house was rented by Lu Yu, and he has always lived there alone without any guests, so Lu Yu naturally would not prepare any extra indoor shoes.

As for his own shoes, how could he have the nerve to give Xiangzi his own indoor shoes?

"That......"

"Excuse me."

After entering the house, Toyokawa Shoko had a clear look at the situation inside. The first impression Shoko had of the whole house was that it was neat and tidy. The house was very clean and it could be said that it was well tidied. Although there were too many decorations in the house, the overall feeling was very comfortable.

only......

Xiangzi immediately noticed several empty supermarket lunch boxes in the trash can. Xiangzi was very familiar with this type of box because she often bought these cheap discounted lunch boxes.

Lu Yu, is this what you usually eat?

"Well, I'm sorry, I don't have anything to treat you at home."

Lu Yu took out a can of Coke and a can of coffee from the refrigerator full of Coke and coffee and placed them in front of Xiangzi.

"I don't know which one you like to drink, so I'll give you both. I'll go boil some water."

After placing the Coke and coffee in front of Toyokawa Shoko, Lu Yu turned around and walked to the kitchen to boil some hot water.

"..."

No hot water at home? Relying on cola and coffee for daily life? Eating discounted bento from the supermarket?

Although Xiangzi didn't show anything on her face, she felt shocked in her heart.

If all this wasn't fake, then Lu Yu's situation wasn't much better than hers! She secretly glanced at the date of the lunch box in the trash can. Wasn't it from three days ago?!

In other words, Lu Yu has been living like this for at least some time?

As a former rich lady, Xiangzi knew very well what the discounted bento boxes in the supermarkets tasted like. If you say it was unpalatable, it was indeed not unpalatable, but this thing was just at the level of not unpalatable.

It's okay to eat it once or twice, but if you eat this for every meal...

You know, in the first few days after Xiangzi had the accident at home, she was a little uncomfortable with eating these things, and it was only later that she slowly forced herself to do so.

And looking at Lu Yu's situation, a rich guy has been eating this every day recently, doesn't that mean he may not have much money? !

But he bought her such an expensive piano even though he was broke? And he paid her 200,000 yen a month?!

this......

"Xiangzi, the hot water is ready."

Just when Toyokawa Shoko was daydreaming, Lu Yu poured Shoko a cup of hot water in a glass.

"It will take some time for the piano to be delivered. Xiangzi, do you want to choose a place first? By the way, Xiangzi, do you really want to practice the piano at my house? You are a girl, wouldn't it be inconvenient for you to practice at my house? How about I rent a house for you to practice the piano?"

"Absolutely not!"

When she heard that Ruyu wanted to rent a house for her to practice piano, Toyokawa Shoko refused decisively. In her eyes, Ruyu might not have much money left, and in this case, any savings she could help him save would be good. In fact, she even wanted to return the 6 million yen piano and exchange it for a cheaper one.

"It's nice here. I don't think it's inconvenient."

"Well, I'll show you around and you can choose a room."

Since Xiangzi insisted on practicing the piano at home, Luyu couldn't refuse. Xiangzi could practice wherever he wanted.

So, after Lu Yu took Xiangzi to visit the house, Xiangzi finally chose a very empty room on the second floor. That room was originally a bedroom, but because Lu Yu lived alone when he rented it, Lu Yu lived directly in the bedroom on the first floor for convenience, so the bedroom on the second floor was vacant.

"It's fine here."

The room Xiangzi chose was very empty. There was basically nothing in it except a bed and a table. It was actually quite good as a piano practice room. After the two of them chose the room, the piano was sent to Lu Yu's door by someone specially hired by the store.

After a lot of trouble, the piano worth six million yen was finally placed in the room chosen by Xiangzi.

After all the work was done, it was already past six o'clock. As the sky gradually darkened, Lu Yu decided to take Xiangzi out for dinner first.

"Xiangzi, I think it's getting late, how about we go eat something first?"

"Ah."

"Is there anything you want to eat?" Lu Yu asked.

"No." Toyokawa Shoko shook her head. Nowadays, she has no requirements for food. She can happily eat ramen that costs a few hundred yen.

"Nothing in particular you want to eat? Then just follow my instructions today."

After taking a look at Toyokawa Shoko, Lu Yu decided to take Shoko out for a good meal today. Anyway, as long as he ate with Shoko, the money spent would be considered as training funds. Today was also the official start of their cooperation, so shouldn't he celebrate with a good meal?

So, Lu Yu took Xiangzi to a restaurant called L'Osier. After entering L'Osier, Xiangzi Toyokawa was stunned.

Although she had never eaten at this restaurant, the decoration and the familiar pattern at the door, if she was not mistaken...

This should be a Michelin restaurant, right?

"Waiter, take your order~"

Picking up the menu and looking at the strange names on it, Lu Yu ordered a lot of dishes without thinking.

"Okay, that's all."

"No problem sir. The rule of our restaurant is to pay first. Would you like to pay by card or cash?"

"Swipe your card."

Under the gaze of Toyokawa Shoko, Sagi Yu generously spent 171,000 yen.

Xiangzi: “!!!!”

Volume 1: Chapter 15 My mind is full of her

170,000 yen! This is 170,000 yen!

Lu Yu actually brought me here for a meal worth 170,000 yen? !

After seeing the row of numbers written on the bill after Sagiba completed the payment, Toyokawa Shoko felt heartbroken.

So expensive! Why is it so expensive?

It would have been fine if he had taken me out to eat something ordinary, but Lu Yu took me out to eat Michelin food that was extremely expensive.

Where did this kind-hearted person come from?

He was clearly eating discounted lunch boxes from the supermarket at home! Yet he treated her to Michelin cuisine...

While Toyokawa Shoko was daydreaming, Lu Yu no longer had so many messy thoughts. When the waiter brought the dishes, Lu Yu was also polite and directly picked up the chopsticks to taste them.

Delicious! It’s worthy of being a three-star Michelin restaurant. The taste is much better than the bento I bought in the supermarket!

Okay, okay, I will definitely take Xiangzi out for meals more often in the future.

At this moment, Lu Yu felt a little regretful. When he was training Hoshino Ai before, because it was remote control, he basically had no chance to get Ai's training funds for free. But this time it was completely different. Xiangzi had 80 million yen of training funds. Although it was a bit unkind to take this opportunity to eat and drink for free, isn't this a rare opportunity? Money is money only when it is spent, so any money you can get is good!

"Xiangzi, what's wrong? This tastes good. Do you want to eat it too?"

While Lu Yu was eating, he did not forget to invite Xiangzi to eat. After all, he was getting this meal thanks to Xiangzi, so he must take care of Xiangzi as well.

And when she saw Ruyu eating the food with relish after it was served, Toyokawa Shoko felt even more uncomfortable.

Lu Yu must have taken her out to such an expensive restaurant just to give her something good to eat? How much did this person have to do for her?

If he really didn't feel the slightest bit of ambiguity from the other person, Xiangzi would have thought that Lu Yu must like him, and like him very, very much. After all, if it wasn't because of love, who could do this for someone?

"Xiangzi, don't just stand there, try it, the food in this restaurant is quite good."

As Lu Yu spoke, he placed a plate of shrimp balls that had just been served in front of Xiangzi.

Under Lu Yu's gaze, Toyokawa Shoko picked up the chopsticks, picked up one and put it in her mouth. The shell was crispy and the shrimp meat was sweet. Just as Lu Yu said, it tasted really good.

If we remove those deliberately packaged luxury goods, the remaining expensive things are naturally expensive for a reason. Being expensive is a disadvantage, but it is a personal disadvantage rather than a disadvantage of the thing itself.

"How's it going? Is it delicious?"

"Well, it's delicious."
