Tokyo: Bubble, but the system is Sengoku

The girl only comes here sometimes before school, and never at this time.

"As you can see, Peach has run away from home!"

"..."

"Ah~!"

Perhaps to fit the mood, the shouts from next door became even more enthusiastic, as if they had reached some kind of climax, but soon a new round of shouts began.

What is that sound?

"..."

Hearing the girl's curious questions and seeing her innocent big eyes, Sato's lips twitched slightly, and he forcefully slammed his arm against the wall twice.

Finally, the sound stopped.

"It's nothing, I'm just practicing singing."

"Singing? Has Sato-kun ever practiced it?"

"...No!"

Seeing that Kikuchi wanted to ask more, Sato decisively spoke up this time, interrupting her.

Why did you run away from home?!

The thought of a young girl who had run away from home being found in his house made Sato feel dizzy.

He regretted his impulsive decision to drag the other person into this.

Of course, regret is understandable, but it is indeed dangerous for a girl to be out alone.

Not to mention she's a beautiful girl of this caliber.

"You two had a fight."

Kikuchi stared at him with her big, unblinking eyes, clearly trying to get away with being cute.

"...Why are you arguing? Don't try to fool me."

Sato displayed some of the older brother's imposing manner.

"because......"

As the girl spoke, her bright eyes gradually dimmed. After a moment of hesitation, she parted her cherry lips and continued, "Because they won't let me enter the entertainment industry. I've already told them I'll balance my studies!"

"Uh..."

Upon hearing this, Sato sighed helplessly.

Why are you making that face?!

The girl, who thought the other person would share her hatred, put her hands on her hips in dissatisfaction when she saw the other person's 'that's all' expression.

"Your parents are worried about you too."

"I..."

Hearing this same old advice that he had heard countless times from his relatives, Kikuchi's eyes reddened. He was about to pick up his bundle and leave when the boy grabbed his hand.

"I didn't tell you to give up, nor did I tell you to follow their instructions."

Sato interrupted the girl's surging thoughts, which were like a turbulent wave.

"Tell them again properly. Next time, act more maturely so they can feel at ease."

"Look at you, you're such a grown man, and you're still running away from home. Even if I were your father, I wouldn't feel comfortable letting you go into the entertainment industry!"

Sato poked the girl's head in an annoyed tone.

He was in an arts school in his previous life; not all parents agree with the path they choose.

Especially those who aren't good-looking and don't have connections at home.

Their parents also understand that it will be very difficult for their sons or daughters with such qualifications to make a name for themselves in the industry.

They might even have to sell out or give up a lot along the way.

Although he was all alone in his past life, he understood the risks involved, otherwise he wouldn't have planned to change his major.

However, Taozi's parents are not unreasonable. As long as they talk to her nicely and get some promises from her agent, Taozi can still debut.

Otherwise, how could Kikuchi Momoko have existed in her past life?

In order to persuade the other party as quickly as possible, he secretly activated his public speaking skills, which greatly enhanced the charm and persuasiveness of his tone.

Am I... really that childish?

After listening to Sato's words, Kikuchi Momoko finally calmed down a bit.

However, Sato's tone was different from usual, carrying a boldness that made people unable to help but believe him, which made her heart surge and beat faster.

What's wrong with her?

The girl thought to herself, then looked down at Sato's large hand that was gripping her wrist.

The skin on my palm was rough, and it felt a little tingly and itchy as I ran my fingers over the veins she had just touched.

The tingling sensation seemed to travel along her pulse all the way to her heart.

"No, it's just that I'm too attached to the things I like."

Sato's finger, which had been poking at the girl's bangs, turned into a hand and touched the girl's hair.

"Very good, we must have persuaded her."

"Next, all we need to do is persuade her to go back..."

"Goo~"

Before Sato could continue, the rumbling of the girl's stomach interrupted the boy's unspoken words.

"Haven't eaten?"

Sato glanced at the clock; it was 8:30.

"No."

Judging from the girl's face, which resembled a monkey's bottom, she probably ran away without eating around mealtime.

"I'll cook some noodles, and then I'll take you home."

Sato stood up and walked towards the kitchen.

"it is good......"

Before the boy could even relax after hearing the other party's agreement, another knock sounded at the door.

Sato, who already had something to hide, was startled.

The police came knocking on our door so quickly?

But Kikuchi will probably explain it to him, right?

We can't possibly make fun of the little devil at a time like this, can we?

"Who?"

Sato asked cautiously.

"Taguchi."

A kind, honest voice came from outside the door. It was Taguchi, his neighbor, and the one who had just started the noise.

"...Taguchi-san, what's wrong?"

It was just a couple of knocks on the wall; it can't be a neighborhood dispute.

However, wary that the other party might be a pervert, Sato still picked up the old baseball bat that was placed by the door.

Just waiting for a sudden, unexpected attack.

"It's nothing, you can borrow this to look at."

The honest-looking man handed him several videotapes with restricted covers without saying a word.

"It was my oversight; I didn't realize you were a kindred spirit."

"..."

How could he be considered a kindred spirit?

He only punched the wall twice, but Taguchi took it all seriously.

Did he think he was punching the wall because of unsatisfied desires?

I have a feeling...it's possible.

But more important than the reason is that there are children here!

Chapter 17 The Explosion of Popular People

Looking at Taguchi's clueless expression, Sato politely declined, saying, "Sorry, I don't have a television here."

To be honest, watching it won't unlock any strange skills, will it?
