Substitutes are not a problem

Chapter1

At night, the small town on the banks of the Rhine is even more quiet and serene in the moonlight.

In a restaurant on the shore, moonlight shines through the window into the dimly lit interior, and the faint scent of wine and roses in the air is intoxicating.

The melodious and soothing piano sound flows, and the slender fingers dance between the black and white keys—"To Alice", a very simple melody, but at this moment it seems to be endowed with magic.

In the corner of the restaurant by the window, a young girl sat there quietly, her brilliant blond hair was more dazzling than the moonlight.

One hand is holding the goblet leisurely, the crystal red wine is shaking gently, and the other hand is lazily resting on the chin.

The sapphire-like eyes stared at the handsome young man who was playing the piano. Maybe he was drunk by the red wine, and the sapphires seemed to overflow with honey.

The waiter in the restaurant approached slowly and handed over a beautiful card with a bouquet of fiery red roses pinned on it.

【Fürdiesste? Frau Elisevon OotaToyotaro...】

To the most beautiful Miss Alice.

Sincerely, Toyotaro Ota

Smooth and clean fingertips brushed the card soaked in the faint rose fragrance, and with a smile slowly rising from the corner of her lips, the girl raised her head and looked at the young man who was playing the piano again.

As if by telepathy, the young man's fingers did not stop dancing on the keys, but he turned his head and looked at the girl.

The purple-red eyes of the young man are still so dazzling even in this dimness, but they are blurred and cunning, making it unpredictable.

But what does that matter?

At least at this moment, the smile in those eyes is rare to penetrate deep into the eyes, the purity and clarity that penetrates into the eyes is just like the melody played at this moment.

Music born from the heart cannot deceive people.

This is the charm of music.

It is also the magic power that the emotion called love exerts on young men and women who have just fallen in love.

Unreal yet wonderful.

"Rin Taro! Rin Taro!"

The familiar and rather delicate voice sounded in his ears, and Mori Ogai, who was taking a nap alone on the sofa in the office, slowly opened his eyes and pulled away from the dream just now.

He turned his head and looked at Alice, who was sitting beside her with a crayon drawing on the floor. Her brilliant blond hair and sapphire-like eyes made him a little dazed for a moment.

However, it was only for a moment.

The next moment, those purple-red pupils regained their usual absolute rationality and unfathomable calmness.

"Really, it was Lin Taro, you said you just closed your eyes and rested your mind for a while, and you asked me to remind you in half an hour, but you actually fell asleep in the end. You really are getting old."

Alice raised her delicate and immature face, relentlessly speaking to the middle-aged man in front of her every day.

But this time, Mori Ogai did not act like a middle-aged uncle and sing along with his humanoid powers. Instead, he took out a ring from his shirt pocket and looked at it quietly.

Clasped between the gloved thumb and forefinger, the minimalist ring appears to have been burnt, leaving mottled marks.

These traces also made this ring, which was only eight years old, look quite old, like an antique.

However, it was such a dilapidated ring that was always cherished by the leader of PortMafia, always placed in front of his heart.

"Maybe, don't they all say that the older people are, the easier it is to dream about the past?"

Mori Ogai said with a light sigh.

Alice, on the other hand, felt a chill all over her body, and her mouth was merciless: "So Lin Taro, what did you dream about, and you laughed so disgustingly?"

"Ugh...don't be like this, Alice-chan, it's so sad to say that."

……

The fluffy cake core...

Coated with a layer of sweet but not greasy cream...

Spread with chocolate sauce and garnish with fresh strawberries...

How much, if you want to take a bite, just take a bite...

The hand slowly stretched out to the piece of chocolate cream cake not far ahead, just when it was about to touch this sweet dream——

"Okay, just read it, that's all for today, it's time to start working."

The cake that was within reach was ruthlessly confiscated at the last moment.

upset applecart……

Araki Yuan Rina fell down on the table as if her soul was emptied in an instant, her sapphire blue eyes stared resentfully at the manager who broke her dream in front of her, with a paralyzed face: "Give the dying person At the moment when hope is about to turn hope into reality, hope takes away hope and tells you that it is actually a trap called despair, I didn't expect you to be this kind of devil, Kinoshita-kun."

The manager surnamed Kinoshita supported the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and roared with grief and indignation wrapped in his cold face: "Do you know how important body management is for a qualified idol! This kind of calorie The explosive chocolate cream cake is simply the natural enemy of idols, this kind of thing is the real devil, devil!"

Slightly lowered her head, and after a few seconds of silence, Yuan Rina raised her head again, with undisguised frustration in her calm expression: "Well, Kinoshita-kun, you know, in fact, I have an idol profession..."

Kinoshita didn't say much, and directly slapped the thick stack of contracts on the table.

Looking at the string of shining zeros on the liquidated damages column, Minamoto Rina said that she is still able to bend and stretch: "Okay, I will persist."

"Then, today's itinerary is..." Kinoshita called up today's schedule on the tablet, just started, but was interrupted by the frustrated girl in front of him again.

"Kinoshita-kun, before starting today's trip, I have a question."

"Say……"

"What time can I get off work today?"

"Rina Araki! You have a little ambition, okay! Do you know how fierce the competition in the Japanese idol world is!"

Yuan Rina was not at all infected by her manager's enthusiasm, she half-opened her sleepy eyes, rested her chin with one hand, and automatically turned the manager's chatter into garbled characters that went in from one ear to the other and came out from the right.

She just wanted to live a peaceful life, so why did she accidentally become a social animal career at the beginning.

The new article is open, and I hope the little angels will support us a lot!At present, there are enough manuscripts, and they will be updated regularly at [-]:[-] every night, so feel free to enter the pit——

The hero of this article, Mori Ogai, after all, is a person with the nickname of Mori, so...

Well, really don't expect him to be a high-quality hero in the traditional sense.The feelings are real, but so is the crumbs.

But please rest assured, this article will not be the kind of scumbag man and woman's bitterness and abuse (this is not the usual style of this series of my question series-) The heroine is very sober from beginning to end.

The timeline of Wenye's background in this article is regarded as the first year of Wenye after the end of the original work, when all the staff are happy with the finale, and everyone should continue to do what they want to do.

The first time the hero and heroine met was 18 years before Wenye (the description at the beginning of this chapter), that is, when the hero was 22 years old and the heroine was 18 years old. In the early stage of this article, the current timeline story & past memories will be paralleled Expand.

The heroine's current name is Araki Genrina (Araki Genrina), Araki is taken from the surname of Mori Ogai's second wife Shigeko Araki in history.

Toyotaro Ota and Elise are taken from the names of the heroine and heroine in Mori Ogai's masterpiece Liude Trilogy "Dancing Girl".

?And, the German [Fürdiesste Frau Elise] in this chapter, the spelling of sste is incorrect. The prototype of this word is s (beautiful), and the superlative adjective is used here. The letter o in this word should be changed to o Add two dots (this is a German letter, not in English.), but it will be garbled when it is typed out, so it can only be typed as sste, hereby noted.
