……
"Di."
He hung up the phone on his own initiative.
Facing the astonished gazes of the four girls present, Kamiya Yuu, expressionless, looked at Yukino Yukinoshita:
"Well then, it's your turn now, Ms. Yukinoshita. Do you have anything to say?"
Volume 1: Chapter 99, Section 98. Mutsu, far away, and the doll princess awaiting rescue.
The entire living room was completely silent. All four girls stared in disbelief and astonishment at Kamiya Yu.
Even Natsukawa Masuzu and Kurokawa Akane, who had placed complete trust in his abilities and style from the beginning, were stunned and remained speechless for a long time, unable to recover from the unexpected shock.
Even if the two of them could solve Yukino's problem, their first thought would definitely be to confront Yukinoshita Haruno first, and then see if they could use some more pleasing methods to indirectly persuade Yukinoshita's mother.
By the time they reached the level with Yukinoshita's mother, it had become a problem that even the two of them had little chance of winning.
Ultimately, although they are eloquent and observant enough, their social status means they are destined to be as tough as Yu, and they certainly do not have the ruthless mentality to throw caution to the wind.
At this moment, the two girls finally saw for the first time what kind of person Yu was when she was at full power.
That ability and sense of responsibility... If the two of them were an umbrella that could provide shade from the sun, then at this moment, You was a towering, unshakeable tree that seemed to reach the sky. The level of reassurance she inspired was on a completely different level.
An umbrella may provide shade, but only a towering tree can remain unharmed and steadfast, whether under the scorching sun or in typhoons and torrential rain.
9 Even Akane and Masuzu, who already trusted Yu, were greatly shocked, let alone the Yukinoshita sisters.
At this moment, without Akane needing to stop her anymore, Haruno looked completely dumbfounded, staring at Kamiya Yu in disbelief.
Only now did she realize how far removed from reality her one-sided, biased judgment had been from the truth.
(2) Saying that they are hotheads who lack composure and can't stand being ridiculed... is actually because they don't need to be patient or endure anything!
④ Even by being aggressive, all goals can be achieved with ease!
(iii) What kind of band did my younger sister get dragged into?!
(3) However.
Despite being stared at in shock by everyone, Kamiya Yu felt little sense of pride.
That's just based on his experience.
Not to mention that he had conducted business negotiations with some bosses before, after coming here he had met the heads of the Toyokawa and Wakaba families one after another. In terms of status, even if they are not equal now, after seeing so many, he naturally became fearless.
What others could see was that he made Yukinoshita's mother give in with just a few words.
But what he saw in his own eyes was a sense of helplessness.
Yes... After this ordeal, Kamiya Yuu seemed to vaguely see the figure of Mutsu in Yukino.
They were both guitarists, but less eloquent than their partners, and they were also not free, tightly controlled by their controlling parents, confined to their families, and unable to voice their true thoughts.
They are so similar.
However, he can only save Yukino Yukinoshita now, but not Mutsu.
Despite having made a promise with Mutsu back then that he would eventually free her from the Wakaba family.
Although he had at least two ways to persuade Yukino's mother from the beginning, he could still achieve his goal even without Akane and Masuzu as bargaining chips, but he couldn't be so forceful as to maintain the upper hand throughout the entire process.
However, he currently has no solution for dealing with Ruoye's parents.
Ultimately, the reason he was able to completely overpower Yukinoshita's mother this time, besides the shared interests, was that he genuinely didn't care about Yukinoshita.
A professional guitarist is indeed very important, but if you can't keep her, you really have to let her go.
Even Natsukawa Masuzu was willing to let Kamiya Yu go back then, but later Masuzu and Akane became bound together, so he could no longer allow either of them to leave.
Otherwise, two of them would leave at once.
But Yukino is different; even if she leaves, she won't let the band disband.
As things stand, the band has achieved its most basic guarantee: as long as he and Akane don't run away, the band can continue. However, Yukino doesn't have that influence and isn't a necessity for its survival.
Therefore, Kamitani Yu clearly stated his bottom line from the very beginning.
I'll give you two choices: you can let your daughter go if you want, I can accept the loss anyway; or you can make a deal with me, then get out of here obediently, and if you dare to come back and interfere again, I'll kick your daughter out.
Yukinoshita's mother was threatening him, but wasn't he also threatening her?
However, this threat was somewhat subtle in order not to hurt Yukino's feelings, and only Yukino's mother could understand it.
In terms of negotiation skills and the depth of his thinking, he was on par with Yukinoshita's mother.
Ultimately, however, the benefits he could bring to the other party exceeded the benefits Yukino could bring to him. In this simple comparison of benefits, Yukino's mother, who was unwilling to give up her benefits, had no choice but to give in, so he won.
Not caring means being fearless of failure, and being fearless of failure is itself a bargaining chip.
But harmony is different.
If he uses this method to deal with Wakaba's parents, he will be the one who loses.
Because of his deep affection for Mutsu, which he considered a true friendship, he couldn't hide it from old friends like Wakaba's parents. This gave them the confidence to demand more from him.
He told Yukino's mother that he could "pay for Yukino's living expenses for three years of high school" in order to encourage Yukino to rebel against her family. Yukino's mother did not dare to object because this was the limit of what he could give to Yukino. If Yukino's mother asked him to give more, he would simply give up.
But if he said that to Wakaba's parents, they would definitely see how much he cared about Mutsu, and they would be able to make exorbitant demands, asking him to do even more and more things for the Wakaba family.
That wasn't a success, but a complete failure. Not only did he fail to rescue Mutsu, but he himself would also be tied down by the old man from the Wakaba family.
Therefore, he will not help Mu in the slightest, not even a little bit, until all the preconditions for achieving that situation as a true victor are met.
As for now...
He is on his way to fulfilling those conditions.
Pulling his mind back from the matter of Mutsu, Kamiya Yu, who had just won a battle, looked at Yukino Yukinoshita and asked in a seemingly kind manner:
"Is there anything you'd like to say, Ms. Yukinoshita?"
“…No, no, that’s all.” Yang Nai barely managed to hide the astonishment on her face, but she couldn’t help but let out a slight bitter smile, forced to accept her defeat.
She completely misjudged the situation.
How could Yukino Haruno possibly surpass her sister in her heart if this man was someone even her mother had to submit to?
Yes... you can tell just by looking at it.
Yukino was stunned, her expression a mixture of genuine shock, admiration, and emotions she had never seen in her younger sister before.
The shadow cast by her mother and the resulting PTSD could not possibly be completely dispelled by this one incident, after all, this time, Yukino was only hiding behind someone else.
When she finally faces her mother alone, rebels against her, and succeeds, that will be the day she truly has a bright future.
Even now, Yukino's mother remains number one in her heart. (9)
However, that second place, the position that once belonged to Yukino Yukinoshita, has now been completely reassigned to Kamitani Yu, an outsider.
Looking at the bitter-faced Haruno, Kamiya Yu had no interest in understanding the feelings of this woman who had possessed a sense of superiority from the beginning and mocked him and Masuzu. Instead, he said indifferently: (4)
"In that case, our band is planning to hold an internal meeting. Would Ms. Yukinoshita be interested in attending?"
What appears to be an invitation is actually an inquiry implying, "Your mother has run away, so there's no point in you being here. Are you just waiting to hinder our efforts to persuade Yukino if you don't leave?"
Having grasped the subtext, Yang Nai could only shake her head with a bitter yet deeply moved expression. (2)
"No... I suddenly remembered I have an important banquet to attend, so I'll take my leave now. My apologies."
They hadn't been there long, hadn't even sat down, and were already in a hurry to leave. (Additionally...)
But before leaving, Yukino hesitated for a moment, then finally left with the words: "...Thank you. You have a wonderful band, Yukino, don't let them down."
It's not just Yu Kamiya. (Search)
My sister's band is full of hidden talents!
From the very beginning, when they were caught completely off guard by her older sister's sudden attack, yet not a single person panicked; instead, everyone worked together to help and coordinate with Kamiya Yu.
Compared to her younger sister, and even compared to herself in high school, Natsukawa Masuzu and Kurokawa Akane were definitely more outstanding in every way.
Why should I worry about a band like this?
The best thing to do is just not to cause trouble!
With deep regret, Yang Nai could only swallow the bitterness of defeat. In the end, she put on a slightly nonchalant expression, waved her hand, and turned to leave.
Kamiya Yu's suppression of his mother not only dispelled Yukino's fear, but also broke her defenses.
From now on, at least she will no longer regard her mother as an invincible god to whom she can only obey in everything, as she did before.
From this perspective, Yukino Yukinoshita herself should thank the other party.
Yukino stared blankly at her sister's departing figure.
From her sister's arrival to her departure, the entire process took less than ten minutes, but in those short five or six minutes, she experienced a rollercoaster of emotions, going from despair to redemption.
And all of this was brought to her by You.
At that moment, Yukino looked at Yu with a sore nose, as if she were gazing at a radiant sun.
Volume 1: Chapter 100, Page 99. Even Old Deng will die, Old Deng the Destroyer.
"Let's see if the money has been transferred yet."
After watching Yukino leave, and with no outside interference, Kamiya Yu turned back to the stunned Yukino and handed the phone back.
With a thousand thoughts swirling in her mind and a thousand words to say, Yukino tried her best to hide her emotions. She took the phone back, her hands trembling, and opened it to see that her mother had indeed truly given in: "Transferred, five million..."
Converted to the exchange rate, that's 250,000 RMB.
This amount is insignificant for a wealthy family like Yukino's, and it's too little as an investment. But this is precisely what Yukino's mother wanted to express: she valued her daughter's integration into the band as a member of the social network more than cold, hard cash. Money was secondary.
Moreover, five million was an unprecedented sum of money for Yukino. After all, although her father was generous, he was not the head of the family. Her mother, who managed the finances, strictly controlled her two daughters from a young age. Yukino's allowance was only considered to be relatively wealthy compared to ordinary people.
But receiving five million yen in one go was unprecedented, especially since this money was for extra expenses, and living expenses had to be calculated separately.
Although there was a lot of money, Yukino's first thought was to share it: "You provided all our instruments, and you booked the training room at Ring. Yu, this money is all for you!"
Without realizing it, she had quietly changed her way of addressing him, and without even noticing it herself, she was already calling Kamiya Yu's name affectionately, just like Masuzu and Akane.
However, Kamiya Yu was not even tempted by her kind offer to share, and immediately refused, saying, "No, I'll keep it for myself."
"Why?" Yukino was stunned.
Even if you don't want to accept everything, You has been the one making the sacrifices these past few days, and you owe this money entirely to him. Even just considering his contributions, you shouldn't refuse any of it, right?
