After about half an hour, Goto Hitori finally poked her small head out of the closet, observing the situation outside.
She saw Tanaka Masao sitting there reading a book, hesitated for a moment, then walked out.
Tanaka Masao heard the movement, looked up.
"Bocchi-chan, are you well-rested?"
Goto Hitori didn't quite dare to look at Tanaka Masao, she just nodded.
"Ah, yes, I'm good. I suddenly had a burst of inspiration and wrote a song."
"Oh, wrote a song?"
Tanaka Masao became interested, put down the book in his hand, and looked at the notebook in Goto Hitori's hand.
"Can I see it?"
"You can."
Goto Hitori handed over the notebook in her hand, saying with a hint of pride.
"My inspiration just gushed out like a spring, I couldn't stop it.
This is my confident work, full of youthful spirit..."
Tanaka Masao listened to Goto Hitori's introduction while looking at the lyrics in the notebook.
There were many words, most of them connected, showing that Goto Hitori's inspiration was indeed very abundant.
And between the lines, they revealed love, infatuation, affection, shyness...
Such lyrics fully expressed the cute and sweet emotions of a girl in love.
However...
Tanaka Masao subtly glanced at the excited Goto Hitori, and couldn't help but complain internally.
[Bocchi-chan, the style of these lyrics seems completely different from you, doesn't it?
And from a normal person's perspective, giving me these lyrics is no different from a confession.]
However, looking at Goto Hitori's state, she clearly hadn't realized this, and Tanaka Masao didn't intend to point it out.
He was worried that directly pointing it out might make Goto Hitori explode on the spot.
Actually, if he were to really get together with Goto Hitori, there would be quite a few benefits.
Her perfect looks and figure go without saying, and this timid personality is also great.
And if he were to pick other flowers in front of her, he might even be able to say.
[Bocchi-chan, I'm tired, please push me.]
But this is an ideal state. As everyone knows, girls in love are unstable factors, especially someone like Goto Hitori, who is timid on the surface but has rich inner thoughts.
There's no telling what she might do.
For example, bravely saying no to Tanaka Masao's request to push him.
Or writing some lyrics and short essays that look impressive but have unclear meaning.
As for something more extreme, that would be hiding in the closet and never planning to see Tanaka Masao again.
Resist? Resist what? How could Goto Hitori resist?
(Fast forward to Goto Hitori covered in blood, showing a gentle smile, holding Tanaka Masao's head, drifting on a boat in the vast ocean, saying.
Sure enough, a quiet Tanaka is the best. This way, you will always belong to me.)
...
After reading Goto Hitori's lyrics once, Tanaka Masao returned them, nodded at her, and gave her a thumbs up.
"Mm, Bocchi-chan is amazing. The whole song exudes a youthful vibe. I have a feeling this song will definitely be a hit.
Take it to your bandmates and perform it together."
Hearing Tanaka Masao's encouragement, Goto Hitori was very happy and proud.
[Hehehe, have I finally gotten rid of my gloomy corner, Hitori, you're so amazing.
Alright, as my first song for this transformation, I must practice it well and make it spread all over the world.]
Looking at the excited Goto Hitori, Tanaka Masao secretly made a plan in his heart.
[I must go to Fanxing Concert Hall tomorrow.
Otherwise, it would be too much of a pity not to witness Bocchi-chan's public humiliation moment.]
Seeing that an hour had passed, Tanaka Masao didn't forget his purpose for being there.
"Bocchi-chan, it's time for us to start studying. Let me tutor you properly."
"Okay!"
The previous events had given Goto Hitori an inexplicable confidence in herself. What was originally a headache for her, studying, now seemed like a piece of cake, something she could easily handle.
Goto Hitori confidently took out her brand new textbook and began to study diligently.
...
Half an hour later.
Goto Hitori showed her classic expression.
6 d 9
"Ah, I can't do it anymore, my mind is blank, x + x = o + o..."
Goto Hitori had tried very hard, but mathematics is not something that effort alone can fix.
When a person is pushed to the limit, they can do anything, but if they can't do math, they just can't.
At this moment, the room door was pushed open, and Goto Nili walked in.
"Sister, Brother Masao, it's time for lunch."
When Goto Nili saw Goto Hitori in the room, she paused for a moment and then shouted loudly.
"Mom, Sister is broken!"
"Broken? So fast? Let me see."
Accompanied by hurried footsteps, Goto Michiyo rushed up, but for some reason, her face still held a hint of excitement.
However, when she saw the situation in the room, she was a little disappointed; it was too normal.
"Tanaka-kun, what happened to Hitori?"
"I was tutoring her just now, maybe she learned too much at once, and her brain overloaded."
Hearing this, Goto Michiyo shook her head helplessly.
"I'm sorry, Tanaka-kun, for letting you see this. This Hitori is really useless."
"It's not her fault, she's already tried very hard. You can't force these things."
"Tanaka-kun is truly understanding."
Goto Michiyo said as she walked over, preparing to wake Goto Hitori from her dazed state.
But as she walked over, she happened to see the notebook lying nearby. With just a glance, her brain also crashed.
[I don't think I was gone for that long, what's with this thing that looks like a love letter?]
After hesitating for a moment, Goto Michiyo pretended not to see it.
Goto Hitori, who had almost drowned in the ocean of knowledge, slowly woke up. What greeted her eyes was a table full of delicious food.
Tanaka Masao's voice came to her ears.
"Hey, Bocchi-chan, stop spacing out, it's time to eat."
"Exactly, Hitori, today is your first time bringing a friend home. It's such an important day, a rare opportunity for us to raise a toast and celebrate."
"Cheers!"
Goto Hitori looked at the dining table, which seemed livelier than usual, and a smile involuntarily appeared on her lips.
[Is this what they call happiness?]
She also picked up her drink and clinked glasses with everyone.
However, this happy and joyful time did not last too long, because...
Lunch ended, and it was time for studying again.
"Bocchi-chan, time is short, let's work hard and try to finish this book today."
"Muri da~ (No way)"
After an afternoon of knowledge irrigation, Goto Hitori finally died.
When she came to her senses again, the setting sun shone on her, making her appear somewhat miserable and lonely, much like a game over screen.
The surroundings were very quiet. She stared with lifeless eyes, unable to recover for a long time.
After a moment, the door was pushed open.
"Ah, Hitori, you're finally awake."
Hearing the sound, Goto Hitori looked over; it was Goto Michiyo.
"Mom, what time is it now?"
"It's almost six, time for dinner."
"Where's Tanaka?"
"Tanaka-kun said he had something to do and went home first. Oh, by the way, he said he left you a gift on the table before he left, and told you to definitely look at it."
Goto Michiyo covered her mouth and chuckled, her eyes filled with teasing.
"Hurry up and see what it is."
