The rapid development of science and technology has brought prosperity that is enough to call this place a city that never sleeps. The lights are on, the neon lights are flashing, and the colorful light shines on the pretty face of Toyokawa Shoko in the black car.

But looking at the busy traffic outside the window, for some reason, Toyokawa Shoko is always a little uneasy at this moment.

"Is it because I lost the watermelon seed lock? Or..."

Recalling the tea-haired figure she glimpsed at the Tresen Beverage Store, her amber eyes inevitably narrowed slightly, and her originally relaxed fists unconsciously clenched hard.

The rapidly retreating stream of light reflected on it, pulling her mind into the past--

In her memory, she was still in junior high school and was called to his office by her father after school one day.

The middle-aged man put down the report with "Angrboda" written on the cover. A trace of gloom crossed his handsome square face, and he looked directly at the girl who opened the door and walked in with his eyes that looked very similar to Toyokawa Shoko.

He knew clearly about Toyokawa Shoko's current situation. He thought that the other party was just playing around, but he didn't expect that the other party had been focusing more and more on this recently.

"How long will your playful band last?"

Even if she disguised herself well, the impatience revealed in her contemptuous eyes was captured by the smart girl.

Her eyebrows, like willows, wrinkled slightly. Toyokawa Shoko didn't like her father's cold attitude, but the etiquette education she had received for a long time still prevented her from showing this inner emotion.

She just bowed slightly and responded neither servilely nor arrogantly.

"I'm not playing, father. My love for music will not affect the subjects assigned to me by the family. As you know, I have completed all the courses with straight A grades so far."

Toyokawa Shoko didn't lie.

From childhood to adulthood, Toyokawa Shoko has never slacked off in the education her family has given her. In literature, mathematics, etiquette, business, art, and even fighting, she is like a dry sponge, constantly absorbing everything given by the family, and slowly being molded into the most perfect next head of the Toyokawa family in their minds.

Toyokawa Shoko has no complaints about this and has always fulfilled their requirements excellently.

But even such an excellent person like her needs a spiritual harbor for her to rest for a moment.

The band CRYCHIC is such a place for her.

Therefore, she does not want to give up, even if it means contradicting her father who has always been obedient, she still wants to argue with reason.

"All A? No, this is far from enough!"

But her rebuttal was only met with the ruthless sneer of Director Toyokawa.

"Noblesse Oblige (aristocraticism), the more noble a person is, the more responsibilities he cannot escape. Our Toyokawa family is different from those third-rate mortals. There is no chance for you to rest.

As the heir of the Toyokawa family, you must be the strongest, and you must be the unshakable first!"

The man's tone was irrefutable. He looked at Toyokawa Shoko without any intention of treating her as a person. There was an indescribable fanaticism hidden in the depths of his pupils.

Looking at Toyokawa Shoko who bowed her head and said nothing, he snorted coldly and stood up from the boss chair.

"Well, since you are not ready yet, then let me take you to see what our Toyokawa family is carrying. Come with me."

"...Yes, father."

That day, Toyokawa Shoko saw the forest for the first time, and she was getting further and further away from the so-called daily life. 】

Super High School Level Detective: It seems that the timeline of this spin-off should be about the time when Kousaka Honoka first obtained the watermelon lock seed.

Iron Fist Invincible: Is this a father's attitude towards his daughter? He is not even allowed to have his own interests. It's too cruel!

RiNG God of Pressure: No wonder Xiangzi in the video is so strong. The full agenda in the flashback is a bit scary. It's a pity that she didn't die from overwork.

ZIO Second Generation: Even Daxi, the teacher in charge of pressure, has spoken. Is there something wrong with this old Deng's play?

Daxi's Dead Fish Eyes: Daxi is right!

Long-term Vegetarian: I didn't expect Xiaoxiang to squeeze out time to join the band even though she is like this. She is really crying!

Fruit King: Puchi! It's over. I have a disease that makes me want to laugh when I see Su Shi speak.

Nayako: Me too!

Starburst Abandoned Healer: Then I +1.

Long-term Vegetarian: ...

Long-term Vegetarian: Selfie with Sengoku Driver.jpg

Nayako: Huh?

Starburst Abandoned Healer:?

Barus: It's over, brother. I'm envious.

Guo Huang: What about me? What about mine?

Customer service Xiao Xiang: I was quite sad, but now I am just envious.

Miao Mengqin: Let me play.jpg

[“Director, we are here.”

“Yeah.”

The driver’s voice brought Toyokawa Shoko back to reality from her memory.

Her somewhat distracted eyes regained focus, and Toyokawa Shoko nodded to the driver. After getting off the car, she immediately looked at Sid who had been waiting at the scene.

“What happened exactly?”

“The team we sent to deal with the cracks tonight was attacked by unknown people.”

Being led by Sid into the crime scene, what caught her eyes was the charred ground and the blood splattered on the wall. Seeing such a tragic scene, even Toyokawa Shoko, who had seen a lot of wind and waves, couldn't help but frown. She walked to the wall and touched the slash marks on it with her fingertips.

"The cut is very smooth. This is not a mark left by an alien. Instead, it looks like a slash from a sword."

Try to recall the armored knight in her memory, and the only one who used a sharp samurai sword, Gaim, emerged in her mind.

"Could it be Gaim?"

"I don't know about that. It's currently under investigation, but..."

Sid adjusted his hat and turned to look at Toyokawa Shoko's cold expression.

"If it's really her, what are you going to do?"

"Then there's no need to hold back."

Toyokawa Shoko answered without hesitation.

"I will personally eliminate this hidden danger when the time comes."

"This is really reliable."

Sid smiled.

"Then I'll leave it to you. Don't let down your guard at the critical moment."

"Just take care of your job."

"Yes, yes~"

Shoko Toyokawa watched Sid's back as he went to investigate, and her father's voice rang in her mind again.

Noblesse Oblige...

--I know, father. No matter what happens, I will implement my own aristocracy!

...

After handing over all the investigation work to Sid, Shoko Toyokawa handed over some work to other on-site personnel with concern, and finally dragged her tired body back to her home.

Now it was already past midnight, but Shoko Toyokawa was surprised that the lights were on in the Toyokawa villa, which should have been empty now.

The vigilance that had just relaxed was tightened again.

Recalling the attack on the consortium troops, Shoko Toyokawa's hand had silently reached into his pocket, touched his own lock, and then suddenly pushed open the door of his house.

"Ah!"

However, the girl's scream and the sound of the plate breaking on the ground dispelled Toyokawa Shoko's idea of ​​taking the initiative.

He lowered his head and looked into the eyes of the blonde girl who was holding her buttocks and crying. The memories of the past emerged, and Toyokawa Shoko was a little surprised to say the other person's name.

"Are you... Chuhua?"]

805: A Green Plum Falling from the Sky (4k)

[To this day, even though he has become the director of the World Tree Foundation, Toyokawa Shoko still will not forget his encounter with the girl in front of him, Mikado Chuhua.

It was a summer vacation in childhood. Under the leadership of his father, Toyokawa Shoko went to a villa on an island for summer vacation.

At that time, she thought she was just studying in a different place, and her heavy daily schedule would not change at all, but she unexpectedly found that her father on the island seemed to be much busier than usual, which gave her a rare leisure time.

Before this, Toyokawa Shoko had never had her own personal time. This hard-earned free time made her feel empty and helpless. She could only use the piano in the villa to find something to do.

And it was at this time that the blonde girl broke into her field of vision.

In the face of Toyokawa Shoko's performance, Sankaku Chuhua, who claimed to be a local child, gave high praise. Perhaps because it was the first time that she was praised by a child of the same age, Sankaku Chuhua's smile left a deep impression on Toyokawa Shoko's mind.

After a while, Toyokawa Shoko and Sankaku Chuhua became good friends. When her father left the villa for work, Sankaku Chuhua would come to play with Toyokawa Shoko.

Sometimes, Sankaku Chuhua would take Toyokawa Shoko to the mountains to catch rhinoceros beetles;

Sometimes, the two would sneak out at night and go to a high place to watch the stars;

Sometimes, they would stay at home, one playing and the other singing, exchanging their thoughts and ideas about music.

Toyokawa Shoko now thinks that the reason why she formed a band in junior high school may also be due to this happy time.

However, since it is a happy time, it is always short.

The summer vacation in the island country did not last long, and soon the day of separation came. Even though she was very reluctant, Toyokawa Shoko had to say goodbye to Sankaku Chuhua.

After that, Toyokawa Shoko's time returned to an extremely busy state, and he had no chance to go to the island again, so he never met Sankaku Chuhua again.

She thought she had forgotten the other person's existence, but when she saw him again today, even though she had grown from a little girl with a boyish temperament to a graceful girl, Toyokawa Shoko still recognized her at first sight.

The other person was the same.

Hearing Toyokawa Shoko call out her name without hesitation, the blonde girl's violet eyes flashed with a strange light, and the small mouth that was originally deflated because of pain immediately hung a big smile that was so bright that Toyokawa Shoko felt a little dazzling.

"Great! Xiaoxiang, you still remember me!"

"How could I not remember, Chuhua."

Seeing her like this, Toyokawa Shoko couldn't help but smile.

She helped Sanjiao Chuhua up from the ground, and after confirming that he was not injured, she asked him why he appeared in her home.

Hearing this question, Sanjiao Chuhua felt a little embarrassed for a moment. She hesitated for a while, but finally took out a letter of introduction from her pocket.

After seeing her father's signature above, Toyokawa Shoko's eyes shrank slightly, but she still chose to take the envelope and opened it to check.

Sankaku Hatsuka didn't notice Toyokawa Shoko's abnormality. While Toyokawa Shoko was reading the letter, she poked her finger a little awkwardly.

"Xiaoxiang, do you still remember the dream I mentioned to you before?"

"It's to become a singer."

Toyokawa Shoko nodded. She had a good memory for her friend's dream.

Through the introduction letter and Sankaku Hatsuka's narration, she finally sorted out the situation roughly.

It turned out that in the past few years, her father and Sankaku Hatsuka had contacted each other. He seemed to have taken a fancy to Sankaku Hatsuka's talent in music and promised that she could develop in Zeya City in the future through the Rhythm Knight Competition. The World Tree Foundation would provide her with resources and train her.

This letter was the introduction letter her father left for her a year ago, saying that someone would be sent to pick her up soon.

But until today, a year later, Sankaku Hatsuka still didn't wait for the person Mr. Toyokawa said would come to pick her up.

After waiting for a year without success, her longing for her dream and her expectation of seeing Toyokawa Shoko again finally prompted her to leave the island and come to Zeya City.

After asking around, Sankaku Chuhua found the World Tree Tower, but learned that Mr. Toyokawa was no longer in the World Tree Consortium.

Having lost her way, she was a little desperate, but fortunately, there is always a way out. She met a kind person in the consortium. After seeing the letter of introduction, the other party kindly told Sankaku Chuhua the address here and even gave her the key.

At the end, Sankaku Chuhua suddenly presented the key with the Mobius ring pendant with both hands in a pitiful manner.

"I'm sorry, Xiaoxiang. I entered your house without your consent, but I'm really desperate. If you are unhappy, I will immediately..."

"It's okay."

Toyokawa Shoko shook her head. The moment she saw the pendant on the key, she had guessed the identity of the "kind person".

Because she would personally test the Sengoku Drive in the early days, Mobius would occasionally come to her house to do some inspections and collect data for her. For the sake of convenience and out of trust in Mobius, Toyokawa Shoko simply gave him the key to her house. However, now that the Genesis Drive has entered the testing phase, the number of times Mobius comes here has gradually decreased.
