For Fangzheng, this was just a small interlude. He continued to live his life as usual. There was no difference … Well, that was how it should be.
"Keijō-kun, did something happen between you and Niihai?"
"Huh?"
Hearing this question, Fangzheng raised his head curiously and looked at Haruna, who was standing beside him with a puzzled look.
"What are you talking about?"
"During class today, Niaohai classmate kept staring at you."
"She was probably attracted by my handsomeness."
Fangzheng shrugged his shoulders indifferently and answered casually. Hearing Fangzheng's answer, Haruna's expression froze, then she showed a bitter smile.
"I see … Anyway, if there's anything you need help with, don't hesitate to tell me."
"No problem. If there's anything I can help with, I'll have to trouble you."
As Fangzheng spoke, he glanced behind him. There, Niihai Sakura was glaring at him fiercely. When she noticed Fangzheng's gaze, she hurriedly lowered her head and pretended to be studying hard. Fangzheng withdrew his gaze and did not say anything else.
Was it too exciting for a fifteen-year-old girl?
Fangzheng thought for a moment, then threw the matter to the back of his mind.
Forget it, it must be because I'm too handsome.
In the following days, Fangzheng did the same things as usual. He went to class, got out of school, went to the church to train the three little girls, and then went home. Now, Fangzheng had another job, which was to teach Eve how to play music.
Perhaps it was because she had been attracted by the performance of the three girls from Little Wings, but Eve acted out of character and took the initiative to ask Fangzheng to teach her how to play an instrument. And for some reason, she chose to focus on the electronic organ. Of course, with Eve's photographic memory and coordination, she could reach a pretty good level with just a little training.
However, what surprised Fangzheng was not just this, but the way Eve played.
As mentioned before, Eve was a manufactured android, a fusion of nanomachines and humans. In this respect, she was actually a little similar to Nimf. Both of them could hack into the circuit and modify it in a certain way. Eve used a similar method when she played. She used her hair as a tentacle to reach into the electronic keyboard. Not only could she play easily, but she could also adjust it as she pleased.
Generally speaking, the sound effect of an electronic organ is adjusted in the middle of the performance, and the adjustment takes time, so it is not easy to master. After all, most people only had two hands. If they wanted to play the piano, they wouldn't be able to modify the mixer. If they wanted to adjust the mixer, they wouldn't be able to play the piano.
However, with Eve's ability, she was equivalent to a performer and mixer. Not only could she play directly, but she could also adjust the pitch on the spot.
In other words, with Eve's strength, it wouldn't be a problem for her to play a symphony orchestra.
This reminded Fangzheng of Nimf. Nimf did the same when she played. She would pull out a cable from her ear, connect it to the electronic keyboard, and then play. The effect was not something an ordinary performer could match.
But she couldn't sing.
Once she sang, she would go straight from heaven to hell.
Even Fangzheng would lose consciousness after listening to Nimf's singing. By the time he regained consciousness, it was already noon the next day …. Come to think of it, even Fat Tiger couldn't sing like this!
Fortunately, Eve obviously did not have the characteristics of Nimf. At least her singing would not make people faint and abandon their rationality to the other side of the abyss.
But this did not mean that Eve was already outstanding. There was no problem with her performance, but she still needed to train her singing. After all, singing could not be learned simply by relying on instructions or training from books. It required personal comprehension — in this regard, Eve seemed to be a little struggling.
Perhaps this was the first time she had encountered something like this, but in Fangzheng's view, this was a good thing. After all, as a manufactured android, Eve's theoretical foundation was basically impeccable. Whether it was learning or anything else, she could complete it quickly. This might make Eve feel that it was a matter of course. Once it became logical, she would unconsciously fall into it and never come out again.
But now, a little setback was also a good thing for Eve. It allowed her to understand that not everything in the world could be solved through correct calculation and consideration.
Of course, the most important thing was Little Wings' concert at the end of the month.
"Very good, it's over in one go!"
After the final song ended, Fangzheng clapped his hands hard. Upon hearing his answer, the three girls heaved a sigh of relief and revealed excited smiles.
"Is there no problem?"
"No problem. Next is the performance tomorrow … Well, as for how many people will come, I'm not sure, but you're all ready, right?"
Before the end of the month, the three girls would go to the park to play every weekend, which attracted a lot of people to watch. Of course, they also received flyers, so they naturally knew that Little Wings would hold a concert at the church at the end of the month. Not only that, Mei Gan also helped them promote the concert in class — after all, it was her brother who wrote the lyrics and music, so of course she also hoped that the concert would be a success.
"Okay."
"Then let's call it a day. Have a good rest."
After saying this, Fangzheng raised his hand to dismiss them. But to his surprise, the three girls did not leave like before. Instead, they looked at each other, then rushed over and hugged Fangzheng tightly.
"Uh … What are you doing?"
"Meow, we … We just want to thank you, big brother."
Tightly pressed against Fangzheng's chest, Gojima Jun raised his head and stared at him with a pair of big bright eyes.
"It's all because of us, big brother …"
"Yeah, to be honest, at first, I really thought we were just trying to find a doctor in a desperate situation."
Himi of Red Leaves Valley hugged Fangzheng from behind and said in a muffled voice.
"But thanks to you, we can finally realize our wish."
"Ham … Brother Zheng is the best."
Jin Chengkong hugged Fangzheng's arm and rubbed against it like a kitten.
"Hahaha, it's too early to say that. Tomorrow is the official event. Have more confidence. Even if you don't believe in yourselves, don't you believe in me?"
Fangzheng patted the heads of the three girls and sighed silently.
Come to think of it, why is the core of this world lust?
At least so far, I haven't seen any lust at all. I can't possibly lay my hands on these cute little angels, can I? This isn't a scene in a book, so of course I can't do it in real life. Although I did lay my hands on Illya and Blackie, those two are different. They only look like lolis, but they are no longer so in terms of age.
It can't be that the random world generator was really random and caused this, right?
That's really terrible.
After that, the three little girls went back to rest and recharge themselves for the official performance tomorrow. As for Fangzheng, he also left the Church. Just as he walked out of the door, he heard a familiar voice on the street.
"Miss Toriai, you're not passing by today, are you?"
Looking at Toriai Sakura standing across the street, Fangzheng smiled and waved his hand. The latter rolled her eyes.
"Of course not."
The girl hesitated for a moment, then walked up to Fangzheng, took a deep breath, and stared at him.
"Why?"
"Hmm?"
"Why are you working so hard to help these children? They're just strangers to you, aren't they? Are you a lolicon? "
"I'm not a lolicon. It's just that the girl I like happens to be a loli."
Fangzheng retorted sternly, then chuckled.
"Well, strictly speaking, it's nothing special. I just want to see how far I can help these children."
With that said, Fangzheng repeated the reason he had told Mei Gan and Eve, as well as Sakura Torikami.
"Simply put, it's like this. Indeed, their standards aren't that high, but they are passionate and hardworking. That's why I want to help them. It's that simple."
"… I see."
Hearing Fangzheng's answer, Toriai Sakura nodded. She turned her head and looked at the sunset in the distance.
"… I think you should have guessed that I'm also from this place. When I was in my first year of high school, my parents passed away in an accident, so I lived in a welfare institution. Then I came to Little Wing … "
Speaking until here, Toriai Sakura frowned.
"Actually, this isn't a serious topic. After all, this is a good place, and my three sisters are very cute. But the people around you don't see it that way. You're just a little different, but you'll be ridiculed and pitied. You just want to be like an ordinary person, but from the teachers to the students, everyone treats you differently. "
While saying that, Toriai Sakura sighed.
"That's why I transferred here, hid my identity, and pretended to be like this. Now it seems to be very effective. At least in the past three years, I've never been pitied by anyone. "
"I think I understand what you mean."
Fangzheng thought for a moment, then gave an answer.
"But in my opinion, you don't have to care about this."
"Is that so?"
"Yes, lies are lies. Things that are covered up will eventually be exposed, either now or in the future. I don't think there's any need to worry about these small things. Whether it's sympathy or mockery, they're all subjective impressions of others. But their words and actions can't change your life. So, you just have to do what you want to do. How others interpret it is their own problem. "
Fangzheng turned his head and looked at the small church in front of him.
"Frankly speaking, among the people who are coming here to watch the performance tomorrow, there might be some who have the same mentality. For example, 'such a young child' or 'so pitiful'. But so what? We can't change their minds, so we just have to do what we have to do and let nature take its course. "
Having said that, Fangzheng retracted his gaze and looked at Toriai Sakura.
"Well, it's time for me to take my leave … By the way, I can understand how you feel. After all, if we didn't have the means to support ourselves, I'm afraid we'd also come here to be friends with you … Well, it seems like we're at a disadvantage now. "
"Huh?"
Hearing Fangzheng's answer, Toriai Sakura was taken aback. But at that moment, his cell phone suddenly rang. Fangzheng took the cell phone, glanced at it, then unlocked it.
"Hello, it's me … Um … Um?"
Fangzheng frowned after listening to Toriai Sakura's words.
"I need to think about it … Okay, the 15th of next month. Got it."
After putting down the phone, Fangzheng nodded to Toriai Sakura.
"Sorry, I have something to do. I'll be leaving first."
"Is it about your family?"
"No."
Hearing Toriai Sakura's question, Fangzheng shrugged and glanced at his cell phone again.
"It's a part-time job … And a more troublesome job."
