People are in Mygo, and I can write their personalities.

Yutenji Wakana felt that what was missing in her body had returned. She opened her mouth and tried to speak, and this time she encountered no obstacles.

"Who...who are you?"

“I am your friend, someone who can truly help you. I think that choosing to join my band will better help you achieve your goals, whether from a practical business perspective or from another perspective that you have just learned about.”

"...Let me calm down first."

Yutenji Wakami dared not show any arrogance like she had when facing Nagasaki Motoyo before, not even the fake arrogance used to inflate her own status.

Who knows if this devil in front of her will turn on her and punish her for being so impolite in ways she can't understand?

"May I ask what you can bring me first?"

"I can basically make anything you can think of possible. Why don't you just tell me what you want to pursue?"

"money."

"...You're quite honest."

Seeing the teasing look in Hatsuka's eyes, Yutenji Wakana explained with a wry smile, "I don't think there's anything wrong with saying this. I came to Tokyo from Kumamoto Prefecture because Tokyo is a place with many opportunities. Whether it's coming to the Metropolitan Art Academy High School to major in acting or opening a personal account on YouTube to update videos, it's all for the sake of getting better development opportunities."

"I understand, after all, I am one too... ah!"

"what happened?"

When Yutenji Wakana noticed that the person sitting opposite her, Misaka Hatsuka, suddenly trembled halfway through her sentence, she felt something was strange, but she didn't think about it in that way.

"I... I'll just say this." Chu Hua sensed that her Sister Yue was denying her idea of ​​lowering herself to get closer, so she immediately steered the conversation back on track. "These ideas of yours would be too easy for me to realize. Ultimately, what you lack is just some opportunities and the ability to seize them."

“If you can join my band, I can guarantee we’ll start from a very high point.”

"How high?" Yutenji Wakana narrowed his eyes. "I'm not afraid for you to know that the band that just tried to pull me in has the financial backing of the Toyokawa family, and they also have the bombshell that is Minami's daughter, Mutsumi Wakaba."

"Wakaba Mutsu? Don't you think that having her around greatly reduces your personal space?"

"...Huh?"

Yutenji Wakana didn't think much about this, because from her perspective, Wakaba Mutsu's existence was meant to boost the band's popularity, and she didn't really think about being overshadowed by him.

However, when facing Chu Hua, she did lose a lot of the confidence she had been forcing herself to maintain, which forced her to think about the issue Chu Hua had raised.

"You mean, I'm not as good as her?"

"What do you think? You just said you majored in acting, right? You can't do anything in their band because they won't give you any opportunities to showcase your talent."

"Even to them, you are just a substitute. Because their original drummer left, they had to find a temporary replacement. You know... as far as I know, their band currently has four people, three of whom are a small group. To this small group, you and your fan Aiyin are outsiders."

"Wait... how do you know so much about the Su Shi Band? Do you know them?"

"Humph……"

Misaka Hatsuka found her rhythm, and she felt the tidal wave of approval from below, which made her, who was already good at putting on a good show in front of others, even more at her own pace.

"Of course I know them. Their lead singer is a quiet, autistic girl. The bassist is the one you met before. The keyboardist is the eldest daughter of the Toyokawa family. One of the guitarists is your fan, and the other is that doll-like, delicate girl from the Wakaba family."

"Nothing in this world is beyond my control. In my eyes, this band is not only ridiculous, but they are also currently in a state where they can't even get all the members together."

"……What's the meaning?"

"It seems that Nagasaki Motoyo has been hiding a lot from you. For example, Wakaba Mutsumi has not agreed to join the band at all, Toyokawa Shoko has disappeared for several days recently, and... your fan Chihaya Aine is a slacker, her guitar skills are very worrying."

"Huh? No, no way... Isn't this even worse than me?!"

Yutenji Wakana felt that her rudeness in front of Su Shi was nothing compared to what she had just experienced; she now felt that she had been deceived emotionally.

Who makes such an empty promise?!

"By the way... what did you mean by 'selling one's soul' just now?"

"Literally, if you want something from me, you have to pay a price, right? If you're not confident in your talent, I can give you better talent; if you hate a certain flaw in yourself, I can eliminate it for you."

"And if you are not satisfied with your background, I can even change your identity, and make you a member of the Toyokawa family is not a problem."

"The last one... never mind, I won't abandon my family over something like this."

"..."

"What's wrong?" Yutenji Wakana looked at Chu Hua, whose expression had changed, and asked, puzzled, "Did I say something wrong?"

"It's nothing, but that's what I meant. Anything you're not satisfied with... anything that objectively exists within you, no matter how abstract, I can reverse or change."

But the price is that you must obey all my instructions, and you have no right to interfere no matter what problems arise during the band's development. Of course... you don't need to dwell on it in that situation, because by then you won't be dwelling on it anymore.

"You mean...manipulate my mind?!"

"That's one way to understand it."

“This…can I go back and think about it some more? I’m referring to those personal deals you just proposed.”

"Of course, you can think about it as long as you want. But I hope you can decide now whether you want to join our band. Of course, this has nothing to do with the personal deals we just discussed. I won't increase the price you'll have to pay in the future because of your choice now."

"A band? I definitely came here for you guys!"

Is there even a question? If the person in charge of the previous band was the lying Nagasaki Motoyo, and the person in charge of this band is the powerful and confident Hatsuka in front of us, then the difference between the two is quite obvious.

She had no reason to choose the former.

"Alright, that's enough for today. I have other things to do, so I won't disturb you while you think about your future."

"Ah...okay, okay."

Watching Mitsuka Hatsuka, who was elegant in demeanor and even took out a tissue from her pocket to wipe the seat she had sat on before leaving, Yutenji Wakana felt that her choice at this moment was a very wise one.

However, she didn't know that after leaving, Chu Hua didn't go straight downstairs, but turned a corner and walked into the women's restroom, where she found the stall she was supposed to go to.

"Phew... Sister Yue, did Chu Hua do a good job?"

Sanjiao Chuhua was panting heavily. She touched that spot and when she raised her hand, she could see the sticky substance on her hand.

"Hatsuka did a great job, of course, but..." Nanami Natsuki lowered her voice and said with a mischievous smile, "Hatsuka, you were observing that Nekomushi's appearance just now, weren't you? No matter the reason, it's really wrong for a dog to secretly observe other people's appearances without its owner's permission..."

"So I'm going to punish you. Remember, you can't make a sound. You don't want anyone to know we're doing this in the bathroom, do you?"

"Waaah!"

Chu Hua shuddered and immediately covered her mouth.

However, what her sister Yue said to her made her feel exceptionally satisfied. Yes... she needed this kind of detailed control, down to every glance and every thought. It made her feel incredibly fulfilled and happy.

"Sister Yue... Xiao Chu knows she was wrong..."

…………

Today, Toyokawa Shoko neither secretly observed Wakaba Mutsu's situation nor went to Circle to participate in the band's rehearsal.

She went back to her room, locked the door, and hugged her "mother," even though she knew her mother shouldn't be awake yet at this time.

For the past two days, she has been deliberately avoiding mentioning Mu to her mother, mainly because she felt it was too embarrassing to run away at the last minute, and she was afraid that her mother would think she was a bad child after she told her.

Moreover, she really found it hard to accept this reality. Mutsu had been keeping such a big thing from her all along. According to Nanami Natsuki... perhaps Mutsu had this condition a long time ago.

So, in the early days of Crychic, Mu often remained silent, but what he was thinking was far more complicated than it appeared on the surface.

"Xiao Xiang".

"what!"

The doll-shaped mother in her hand suddenly made a sound, which startled Xiangzi. Sure enough, she was still occasionally frightened by this doll-shaped mother, especially since she did not expect her mother to wake up at this time.

"Mom...how could you..."

“I can stay awake for much longer now, but Xiao Xiang, what are you worried about? You’ve seemed a little off these past two days. Is it because of Nanami Natsuki?”

"Well... I can't say it's entirely related to her."

Shoko Toyokawa paused, thought for a moment, and then decided to tell the whole story. "It's Mutsu... I didn't expect her to turn out like this. I'm a little scared."

"Mumu?" The doll's tone suddenly became agitated, but she quickly calmed down. "What happened to Mumu? Did Nanami Natsuki do something to her?"

"...Mom, are you aware that Mu has multiple personalities?"

"Huh?"

"As expected... Even you didn't know. That makes sense, Mu would never tell anyone."

Metis's reaction was not as natural as she appeared. Although she was very curious at the moment, she had to pretend to be calm in order not to reveal her true identity in advance.

But the problem is... what exactly did Master Natsuki do to Mutsuki? She really couldn't help but ask!

"Can you tell me what's wrong, Xiaoxiang? I don't want to see my daughter with that expression. I can't give you a full hug, but I can still help you think of a solution."

"Mother……"

Toyokawa Shoko hugged the doll to her chest, ignoring the barrage of insults directed at her that were raging inside it. Although Shoko herself had no way of knowing what Metis, who was impersonating her mother, was thinking.

After letting go of her mother, Xiangzi blurted out everything that she had kept hidden for two or three days. At that moment, she felt exceptionally relieved. Moreover, according to Nanami Natsuki, telling her mother now shouldn't be considered a violation of their original agreement.

Otherwise, if I keep bottling it up by myself, I'll probably really break down, right?

"So that's how it is..."

Metis breathed a sigh of relief. She felt that the current situation was within her acceptable range. Xiao Mu had not suffered any further harm. On the contrary... Xiao Mu was actually quite happy now.

Although this kind of happiness seems very empty to Metis, who possesses part of Xiangma's "personality".

"Mom, what should I do...?"

"Leave it to me."

"Huh? I'll leave it to you?"

"Well, actually, I have a pretty good relationship with Xiao Mu. She should listen to me. If you get involved in this, things might really go wrong. So Xiao Xiang, just trust your mom. All you have to do is take me to a place where she is, and then leave everything to me."

"Besides, Xiao Xiang, you have more important things to do, don't you? Everyone in the band is waiting for you. They'll worry if you don't show up. You can't ignore other people's feelings just because of Xiao Mu."

This is also one of the reasons why Metis dislikes Xiangzi. Whenever this guy encounters something beyond her imagination, he starts to struggle with himself and ignores the feelings of others. His personality is too soft and indecisive. Even a secondary personality like her, who doesn't have much common sense, knows the principles, but Xiangzi doesn't understand them at all!

Metis vowed that if she had the chance, she would kick Toyokawa Shoko's butt hard like last time, even though she didn't seem to be able to do any real damage to him now.

But at least now she has a chance to see Xiao Mu again...

"Then... that's fine."

Xiangzi still listens to her mother, and besides, she really needs help right now.
