Taxi fares are very expensive in Japan.
He can run much faster than a car. If you think about it more clearly, why do you have to take a car?
I usually take the bus because it doesn't cost much, and it's inconvenient to drive at high speed in the morning when there are many people.
But there aren't many people at night.
This made it very convenient for him to travel in this way.
"Run back?"
Rikka Takanashi, who was following Kiriharu and Tachibana Kanade toward the bus seats, instinctively felt a pang of doubt.
However, remembering Wu Qing's terrifying physical abilities, she no longer doubted what Wu Qing said.
Moreover, some martial artists, when they are in a hurry to do something, will indeed run wildly on the road, sometimes at a speed that can even match that of a car, and this often makes the news.
After all, everyone has times when they are running out of time, or when they need to run for something, and martial artists are no exception; they are just exceptionally fast runners.
However, what Takanashi Rikka cared about more was Kiriharu's promise to carry her back...
It seems like this is pretty good too.
Not only would it save a lot of money on taxi fares, but it would also allow Wu Qing to hold it in her arms.
Takanashi Rikka thought to herself, then found a place to sit down with Kirishi and Tachibana Kanade.
But just then, Tachibana Kanade, who had been listening to their conversation, spoke up: "You can sleep at my house."
"Sleep, sleep in your house!?"
Rikka Takanashi looked on with surprise.
But Wu Qing nodded thoughtfully.
"Hmm, that's one way. That way we don't have to rush back. Rikka, I'll talk to Toka-nee later. We can stay at Tachibana Kanade's house tonight."
"Hey!"
The sudden change in the situation caused Takanashi Rikka to let out a cute scream. She tugged at Kiriharu's clothes, trying to persuade her again, "But this isn't a good idea, what if Tachibana Kanade's family doesn't agree?" she said thoughtfully.
"It's alright, my father is almost never home, that's why I made that suggestion..."

Upon hearing this, Rikka Takanashi paused for a moment, then thought for a second before speaking again, "But there might not be enough room for both of us at your house, so perhaps we should..."
"It's okay, my house... is quite big."
Tachibana Kanade gave a curt reply.
Upon hearing what Tachibana said, Takanashi Rikka was completely at a loss, losing all her energy and collapsing onto Kiriharu's lap, her ahoge (cowlick) drooping.
“Yes, this is more convenient than going back in the middle of the night. Otherwise, by the time I finish tuning the piano, it will probably be past ten o’clock.”
As Wu Qing spoke, she took out her phone, intending to tell Takanashi Touka that she and Rikka would be staying at a classmate's house tonight.
To be honest, running back was the only option; it would be best to avoid doing so.
Besides, sleeping at a classmate's house is a perfectly normal thing.
Wu Qing was sending a message with one hand.
With his other hand, he stroked Rikka Toriyuki, who was lying on his lap, looking like she was about to cry, as if he were petting a puppy.
Wu Qing sent a message to Toka Kotori.
Takanashi Toka readily agreed.
In her eyes, Takanashi Rikka was safer with Kirishi than with her.
"Your sister agreed."
After receiving an affirmative answer, Wu Qing said.
Hearing this, Rikka could only nod.
There's nothing Wu Qing can do about what she's decided.
The bus traveled forward for half an hour.
Then it stopped in a relatively busy area.
"arrive."
Tachibana Kanade looked at the two of them.
She then got off the bus first, while Kiriharu and Takanashi Rikka followed behind her.
It was completely dark outside at this moment.
The neon lights on the tall buildings along the roadside were so dazzling. There were many pedestrians on the street, chatting and laughing as they walked on the sidewalks on both sides of the road.
Takanashi Rikka circled around, looking around, and felt that this place was much more prosperous than her hometown.
After all, she lives in the suburbs.
Meanwhile, Tachibana Kanade lives in the inner part of Tokyo.
After getting out of the car, Tachibana Kanade led the two of them for about ten minutes before stopping in front of a villa.
"Ms. Tachibana Kanade, welcome home..."
The woman who had been waiting in front of the door since early morning immediately opened the huge iron gate when she saw Tachibana return.
"Yes, thank you for your hard work, Auntie."
Tachibana Kanade nodded.
I prepared to take Kiriharu and Rikka inside.
At this moment, the woman asked in confusion, "Ms. Tachibana Kanade, are these two your classmates?"
"Yes, they'll be sleeping here tonight. Could you please prepare a room for them, Auntie?"
Tachibana Kanade said as she walked forward.
Upon hearing this, the old woman looked up and sized up Wu Qing and Liu Hua, and a smile appeared on her face after a moment.
Tachibana Kanade, who has always been taciturn and not good at socializing, is very happy to have made friends.
Moreover, both of them are outstanding in appearance.
One was exceptionally handsome, instantly making her feel inexplicably fond of him; the other looked cute and innocent.
The old woman then nodded and said, "I understand."
As she spoke, she stepped into the five-story villa.
Tachibana Kanade and the others followed closely behind and went inside.
"so big......"
As she walked from the front door through the front yard and into the villa, Rikka Takanashi couldn't help but sigh.
Wu Qing nodded in agreement.
Tachibana Kanade's family was richer than he had imagined.
I remember when I was watching the anime, someone speculated that Tachibana Kanade's family must be quite wealthy.
First of all, the heart transplant she underwent cost a lot of money, which is simply unaffordable for most families.
In addition, her father is the president of a company.
The mother is a pianist; people who can pursue art as a profession are generally well-off.
However, Tachibana Kanade's mother passed away early, and Tachibana Kanade's father chose to stay away from Tachibana Kanade as much as possible afterward, just so that he wouldn't be reminded of his beloved deceased wife whenever he saw Tachibana Kanade.
It was precisely because of this experience.
Tachibana Kanade possesses an unusual personality.
Although the world has advanced medical care, allowing her to live peacefully to this day, her personality remains the same.
It might be slightly different from the anime.
But Wu Qing felt that she hadn't changed much.
Still the same old stoic, aloof, taciturn, and friendless person...
"The piano is here."
Tachibana Kanade wasn't one to mince words; as soon as he led Kiriharu into the villa, he got straight to the point.
And that's exactly what Wu Qing wanted.
He also wanted to resolve this matter as soon as possible.
Led by Kanade Tachibana, Kiriharu and Rikka Takanashi made their way to the second floor of the villa.
Kanade Tachibana pushed open a door, revealing an exquisitely decorated room. However, aside from two pianos and a cabinet filled with piano-related items, there was nothing else...
"Both of them?"
Wu Qing walked to the piano closest to him and looked down to observe it.
He thought Tachibana had bought two pianos at once.
Judging from the current situation, Tachibana Kanade does indeed have the financial resources to buy two pianos in one go.
"no......"
Tachibana Kanade shook her head, walked to Wu Qing's side, and stretched out her slender, white fingers to smoothly press a key from right to left. "This is my mother's." A faint sadness appeared in her usually expressionless eyes.
"Feel sorry."
Wu Qing immediately withdrew her hand that was about to touch him.
"It's alright. Actually, I bought the new piano (Zhao's) to better protect the piano my mother left behind. I've been using hers, but I'm worried it will break easily if I use it for too long, so I wanted to buy a new one and preserve this one properly..."
Tachibana Kanade talked a lot today.
This might be because the topic of a special event has been brought up.
