'Sakiko, we didn't mean to play Haruhikage."
In Asukayama Park, seeing the white moonlight in her heart again, Soyo's voice was emotional.
She could not wait to apologize to Sakiko.
"Sakiko, I'm sorry. I really didn't mean to play Haruhikage. It was her, yes, that stray cat who suddenly started the tune, and I was forced to play this song."
"This really has nothing to do with me. We didn't plan to play this song at first."
"Sakiko, I know Haruhikage belongs to the past us, it belongs to Crychic. We shouldn't play it!"
Soyo bowed repeatedly, hoping to make Sakiko forgive her through this method.
Sakiko looked at Soyo in front of her and sighed softly.
To be honest, she was not very familiar with Soyo.
In the past Crychic band, Mutsumi was her childhood friend. Tomori was the person Sakiko was more familiar with, and the band was formed for her.
As for the remaining Shiina and Soyo, Shiina had never liked her very much, and Sakiko knew that clearly.
And Soyo.
This woman was the one Sakiko disliked the most in the band.
When the band was still together, Sakiko could see that Soyo's heart was not in the band at all.
She only used the band as emotional support. She did not practice for music or for any dream. She only practiced for that self moved emotion.
This was just an amateur band, a hobby band that could never become professional.
If Sakiko, who was once the young lady of the Togawa Group, could accept it as a hobby.
Then after experiencing the pain of life and undergoing a complete transformation, it was impossible for her to waste time in such an amateur band.
She wanted to form a real Galaxy Battleship. She wanted to form a real professional band, enter the professional circle, gain great fame, fulfill her dream, and at the same time repay Toru for helping her all this time.
"Nagasaki, I was indeed very angry when I first heard you play Haruhikage."
Soyo felt nervous, but Sakiko's next words made her overjoyed.
"...However, after calming down and going through some things, I think my anger at that time was a bit childish."
Compared to a friend singing such a song, the betrayal of her family had been a much greater blow to Sakiko.
"Sakiko... Have you forgiven me?"
"I was never angry with you, so why talk about forgiveness?"
Sakiko said.
"Then Sakiko, Crychic, can you come back? Let's reform the band. Takamatsu and Rikki are here, and Wakaba is here too. She is our friend and will definitely be willing to return to the band."
"Sakiko, I know that perhaps our past rehearsals were too careless and made you angry enough to leave, but this time we will all be serious and will definitely satisfy you."
"Wakaba, say something too. You must miss our past time as well, right? You and Sakiko have known each other for so long. Quickly persuade her. As long as you speak, Sakiko will definitely agree."
Mutsumi stood to the side. Facing Soyo's hopeful gaze, she turned her head away.
Soyo became furious and grabbed Mutsumi's shoulder.
"Wakaba, are we good friends or not? If we are friends, why won't you help me?"
"Could it be that our past relationship was fake, and you never considered me a friend at all?"
"No, I didn't."
Mutsumi hurriedly denied it.
"Then prove it to me. Go persuade Sakiko now. Prove our friendship to me!"
Soyo pressured her once again.
Mutsumi's expression wavered.
"Enough!"
Sakiko spoke with a gloomy face, interrupting Soyo.
"Just stop pressuring Mutsumi. Mutsumi said a long time ago that she wasn't happy in the band at all."
"Mutsumi has had very few friends since she was a child. You are one of the few friends she has, and she values your relationship very much. If you also treat Mutsumi as a friend, then stand in her shoes and think for her."
"Soyo, can't you try to understand others and think for them? Can you stop being so self centered?"
After saying that, Sakiko turned around.
In the distance, Toru sat on the windowsill with binoculars, watching everything.
Seeing the girls arguing, he laughed.
Unfortunately, Sakiko and Soyo did not grab each other's hair and start fighting.
Seeing Sakiko about to leave, Soyo panicked. She hurried forward and grabbed Sakiko's hand, just like Anon had grabbed her before.
"Let go!"
Sakiko said angrily.
Under Sakiko's stunned gaze, Soyo suddenly knelt down with a loud thud.
"Sakiko, don't go. As long as you return to the band, I, I am willing to do anything!"
Tears streamed down Soyo's face as she cried loudly.
Fortunately, there were no outsiders in the park at this time, otherwise they would definitely be stunned.
Mutsumi stared blankly at Soyo. Even she had not expected that Soyo would use such a move.
Sakiko was also stunned.
She even felt a wave of fear.
This person, could she be a yandere?
No, besides being a yandere, she might even be a lesbian.
She must stay away from her.
However, compared to fear, Sakiko felt more anger.
Although they were women, there was no saying that a woman's knees are gold.
But Soyo directly knelt down and begged over such a trivial matter, which made Sakiko feel extremely ashamed.
Sakiko had a strong sense of pride and personality. Even in her most painful moments, she had never thought about abandoning her dignity to kneel before others.
But Soyo actually did it.
An unprecedented disgust rose in her heart.
This woman not only had no dignity or personality, but even now she still did not understand the meaning of thinking for others. She remained selfish and inconsiderate.
Sakiko glanced at her with contempt and shook off Soyo's hand.
"You are completely self absorbed."
She left without hesitation. She did not want to see Soyo again.
Soyo's pupils shrank suddenly. Sakiko's words completely shattered her defenses.
"Soyo."
Mutsumi glanced at Soyo worriedly, then looked at the departing Sakiko, her expression hesitant.
Among the three of them, the one who suffered the most was actually Mutsumi.
As a good friend to both of them, helping either side would hurt the other, which made her extremely distressed.
Sakiko and Soyo were both her best friends.
Not even one of them.
Because she had no other friends at all.
"Go away, go away!"
Soyo shouted loudly at Mutsumi while crying uncontrollably.
Mutsumi hesitated for a moment, then left.
However, she did not go far. Instead, she hid in a corner, watching Soyo kneeling on the ground in the park and crying loudly.
She kept crying like that. Her body trembled as Sakiko's contemptuous gaze replayed vividly in her mind.
Soyo would probably never forget those hurtful words for the rest of her life.
She knew that everything between her and Sakiko was completely over, and the band of her dreams would never be formed again.
After an unknown amount of time, footsteps sounded in the park.
Soyo's body trembled. Thinking someone was approaching, she quickly tried to stand up.
She did not truly have no dignity. She had only been too emotional earlier, and her brain had almost instinctively made her kneel.
At that moment, instinct had controlled her body.
But after Sakiko left, Soyo regained some rationality. She did not want strangers to see her embarrassing state.
However, kneeling for too long had made her legs numb. She could not stand up properly and almost fell again.
The person who arrived helped her up and handed her a tissue.
Soyo looked at the person beside her in confusion.
"F Fujiwara-kun? Why are you here?"
"I've been here the whole time."
"Then, then you saw everything just now?"
Soyo felt a little embarrassed.
Toru did not mention her shocking kneel. Instead he asked.
"Do you know why Sakiko rejected you?"
"Why? Does Fujiwara-kun know?"
Soyo grabbed Toru's sleeve as if she had grasped the last straw.
Toru knew that Sakiko was now mentally strong and would not mind others knowing her past.
So he told Soyo the truth.
"Because, because the Togawa family went bankrupt? Sakiko had no choice but to work and disband the band? Then why didn't Sakiko tell us? We could have found a solution together."
"Her family owes so much money. What could you students possibly do? Sakiko is right, Nagasaki-san, you are full of yourself."
Hearing those words again, Soyo was stimulated, but she did not collapse this time.
She suddenly thought of something.
Since something had happened to Sakiko's family, and that Western style house also belonged to Toru, why was Sakiko still living there?
Then she remembered the rainy day when Sakiko got out of Toru's passenger seat.
Could it be that Sakiko was being kept by Fujiwara-kun?
People who just lost their love often think irrationally and act impulsively.
Sakiko's ruthlessness had left Soyo unable to think clearly.
She suddenly spoke in a dazed voice.
"Fujiwara-kun, can you make me forget everything?"
When is a woman most easily taken advantage of?
When she has just lost her love.
Mutsumi hid nearby and watched Toru arrive. She watched him talk with Soyo, and watched the two of them leave together.
Mutsumi unconsciously followed behind them.
Then her eyes widened as she watched Toru and Soyo walk into a love hotel.
Is this the way to forget everything?
Then, then can I also forget everything?
