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

Nagasaki Motoyo smiled broadly, seemingly no longer bothered by their previous argument. She turned around amicably and continued to tease her "little angel," then waved goodbye and left after they had finished lunch.

"You did it, didn't you?"

"Hmm?"

Nanami Natsuki blinked her cute big eyes, looking completely oblivious.

Seeing this guy's feigned innocence, Shiina Ritsuki's face darkened. Ignoring Nanami Natsuki's objections, she grabbed her arm and pulled her away, cursing as she went:

"Don't play dumb. You must have talked about something when you chased after Su Shi yesterday. Today's events are definitely related to you. Nanami Natsuki, you have to give me an explanation today!"

Explanation? I don't think it's an explanation...

Nanami Natsuki chuckled to herself, it seemed she could develop another customer.

Look at what she said before? Shiina Tatsuki, Shiina Tatsuki, as the drummer of Crychic, how could you hang out with those people if you didn't have some serious illness?

Chapter 22 I Have an Aunt Named Hatsune Miku?! (2/2)

8:20 AM.

After being blocked by Su Shi, Toyokawa Shoko chose to return to her familiar home, but this "home" referred to the magnificent mansion where she had lived for several months.

Of course, she didn't come here with her own identity, but rather with her father's appearance, returning as a stray dog ​​who had been kicked out of the Toyokawa family.

"I'm sorry, but the head of the Toyokawa family said that we cannot let you in."

"But I have something very important to ask him."

"That won't do either. We've been given a strict order. If we let you in, we'll be held accountable afterwards. Mr. Toyokawa Kiyoshi... Please understand."

"..."

She was turned away as soon as she arrived at the gate, which made Xiangzi feel extremely conflicted. Should she leave like this, or continue to wait until she could meet her grandfather at the gate or receive a notice of permission to enter or leave?

Today is the first day she and her father switched bodies, and also the first day she gained memories of her past life.

She has lost the chance to formally apologize to Su Shi, and even Su Shi has blocked and blacklisted her on LINE... Right now, the only thing she can think of that she must do immediately is to demand an explanation from her grandfather.

Her grandfather had told her before that her father was kicked out of the house because he was swindled out of 168 billion yen, but he was unwilling to tell her, a minor, the specific details.

Therefore, she had no idea what exactly happened, nor did she know if there was any possibility of reversing the situation.

Even if she and her father couldn't earn back such a huge astronomical sum, she still thought about how to let her grandfather see the shining points of her "father" in other ways.

"Can I wait for him here?"

"...Please make yourself at home."

Although he neither agreed nor refused.

Toyokawa Shoko nodded, not too disappointed, and simply stood by the gate, gazing at the distant sky, waiting foolishly.

The weather wasn't too hot, after all, it was spring break, not summer vacation, and the weather wasn't bad either, as it didn't rain heavily while she was waiting.

However, Toyokawa Shoko actually hopes for rain, perhaps because waiting in the rain would be even more appealing?

An hour passed, and Xiangzi was starting to feel like leaving.

However, she decided to hold on a little longer, at least until two hours later to see her grandfather's reaction.

Two hours later, she still hadn't received permission to enter. However, the security guard who had been there earlier took pity on her and handed her a bottle of water.

“Go back. You should know the patriarch’s personality. He won’t give in just because you’re waiting here.”

"..."

"Okay, never mind."

Seeing that he couldn't persuade him, the gatekeeper didn't want to say anything more. After all, he wasn't the one waiting here, and besides... the head of the family wouldn't see what he was doing, so what was the point?

Yes, Toyokawa Sadaharu is not at home at all. Even if he were, with his prior notice, his subordinates would not disturb him because of Toyokawa Sadaharu's visit.

Ultimately, this self-righteous attempt by "Toyokawa Kiyoko" to play the victim is nothing more than a one-man show on a stage without an audience.

Another half hour passed.

Xiangzi was almost at her breaking point; her legs were already sore and numb, and she could no longer stand steadily, so she could only sit on the ground against the wall.

"Waiting...it really is a agonizing feeling."

Suze was always waiting for them to come back in the recording studio... In the memories that Xiangzi could see, even after Xiaomu left, Nagasaki Suze still went to the live house they used to go to alone, and sat alone by the window, waiting for everyone to return.

But nothing happened, no one came back, and all that came was another heavy rain, but there was no one there to cry in the rain.

As far as Su Shi was concerned, she was the heartless one who neither knew nor understood the other's bitter waiting and devotion.

Just like now, as "Toyokawa Kiyoko," she is also waiting anxiously for her grandfather's arrival, but the other party... may be far more heartless than she is.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have broken up her family like that and taken away her last hope, Toyokawa Shoko.

Suddenly, Xiangzi seemed to hear a sound, which seemed to be... the sound of the car tires rubbing against the ground?

Closer still, the familiar Maybach, the familiar license plate, and the driver in the driver's seat...

Shoko Toyokawa excitedly ran over, then physically stopped the car, and then ran to the back seat and frantically pounded on the window.

"Father... Father!"

"..."

The vehicle stopped, and the windows were rolled down. What appeared was not only Toyokawa Sadaharu's face, but also Shoko's utterly unfamiliar and disgusted gaze.

"Don't you remember what I said before?"

"What……"

"The Toyokawa family is no longer your home. How many times do I have to remind you? And shouldn't you be proving your previous resolve right now? What... failed again? Starting to regret it again?"

"I am not...father..."

"I told you not to call me father."

"...I just want to get to the bottom of things, to get some things clear."

"You're leaving after asking?"

"Ah."

"Heh, you said the same thing last time." Toyokawa Sadaharu glanced coldly at "Toyokawa Sadaharu". "I've completely lost my patience with you. You have no right to ask me any questions. Go away."

"What if I said... I could get Xiangzi to go home?" Seeing that he had no other choice, Xiangzi, in desperation, tentatively said something that might save his grandfather.

"..."

It seemed that these words had indeed moved Toyokawa Sadaharu, as the car window, which had already been rolled up, was rolled down again.

"The questions I want to ask have nothing to do with Xiangzi. I will no longer interfere in her affairs in front of you. This time, I want to ask about other things, those... things you think I did wrong."

"I thought you were going to say something."

A hint of mockery flashed in Toyokawa Sadaharu's eyes. "Don't you already know those things yourself? What's wrong... Are you going to tell me again that you did nothing wrong, and then lecture me with your grand principles?"

"You didn't do anything wrong?"

Toyokawa Shoko was taken aback. Why did those words seem so unexpected to her? And judging from her grandfather's expression, it didn't seem like he completely denied what her father had done in front of him before. Rather, he seemed to think that she was childish and ridiculous for coming here to confront him today?

Should she trust her own judgment? Or... should she trust her father, and at the same time trust her deceased mother's assessment of him?

Father... was a truly good man... Although it seems absurd now, Xiangzi recalled those words once again.

“I…did nothing wrong. Mizuho said…this is my best quality; I just did what a sincere person should do.”

Regardless, Xiangzi decided to stand on his father's side and speak up for him one last time, despite his grandfather's mocking gaze.

"You've truly opened my eyes..."

"what?"

Seeing her grandfather's gaze change from mockery to disdain, Xiangzi momentarily thought she had said something wrong. Had her father actually done something really outrageous?

"You're already in such a predicament, yet you're still trying to speak up for Hatsune Miku. Do you really want her to go home that badly?"

Even if... this would give Xiangzi an aunt who's about her age, and give the other factions in the Toyokawa family another opportunity to laugh at her?

"Wh-what?"

She has an aunt who's about the same age as her?!

Chapter 23 Xiaoyue, I bought this sandbag for you (1/2)

"What exactly did you say to Su Shi yesterday?"

"Huh? I didn't say anything..."

"Still not admitting it?"

Shiina Tatsuki hates people who do something but refuse to admit it; Toyokawa Shoko is a prime example.

Or perhaps, it was because of Toyokawa Shoko's previous actions that she was angry with Nanami Natsuki, who didn't want to explain anything to her at the moment?

With a darkening expression, Li hope grabbed the twin-tailed girl who was trying to slip away as if nothing had happened. Although he was actually shorter than her, as a drummer, catching Nanami Natsuki, who was trying to escape, was as easy as catching a chick.

"Ouch...you're hurting me!"

"Stop pretending, I didn't use any force." Shiina Riki glanced at Nanami, who was pretending to be pitiful again, and her attitude was unyielding. "If you hadn't said something to her, how could Suze have changed so much today?"

It was as if... as if she really couldn't remember anything at all.

“You’re right, she really can’t remember anything.”

"……what?"

"What? Su Shi's current situation is exactly as you described. She has forgotten everything about Crychic. These memories that cause her daily pain have been removed by me. That's why she treated you like a stranger today."

"No... what nonsense are you talking about?"

"here we go again……"

Nanami Natsuki reached out her small hand and pushed away Shiina Ritsuki's claws that were trying to grab her shoulder. Despite her cowardly action, her expression and tone were not as cowardly as they seemed. With her hands on her hips and a smug look on her face, Shiina Ritsuki really wanted to give the girl a good whack on the head.

"I don't want to explain to you ordinary people anymore. Believe it or not, all I can tell you is that Su Shi's change was indeed caused by me. I took away all the memories and emotions about the band from her head, which is why she became like this."

"you……"

"Otherwise, why do you think she would have changed so much? Just because a friend she just met whispered something in her ear?"

"Do you even know what 'blowing the pillow' means? You're just spouting nonsense..."
