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

Do you know why someone who sings incredibly well gave up her talent? Haha... you'd never guess! She simply couldn't control her figure and felt that being able to remain a pretty face was far more important than her singing ability!

"How could this be..."

Lixi clenched her fists, her emotions were immediately stirred, because Nanami Natsuki's words always hit her sore spots.

Talent... A person with talent is born superior to an ordinary person without talent. If she has a talent to be proud of, she will definitely work harder to make the most of her abilities. But how could someone abandon their talent so easily for such an absurd reason?!

"Isn't this going too far? Talent is clearly a gift from heaven, something that we all dream of but can never have. Instead of trying to develop these talents, they give up so easily just because they didn't get a chance for a while..."

"Then what is the purpose of your efforts, Lixi? You haven't even received any so-called opportunities, but you haven't given up hope easily, have you? You know, even these talents can be heartbreaking. If someone like you, Lixi, were to obtain them, they would surely shine with their due brilliance, wouldn't they?"

"Don't continue..."

"So what are your concerns? I've always been on your side. Do you know why I believe you will keep our agreement after the transaction is completed? Because I know very well that if that person is Lixi, she will be extremely serious about everything. This is precisely your unique talent that Xiangzi and the others cannot surpass."

Nanami Natsuki was still using her Demonic Sound Technique, and these words seemed to strike the most vulnerable spot in Riki's heart. But the problem was... how could she be praised by such a bastard?

This fact calmed her down again. Besides, she had just vented to Su Shi, so she was able to sober up quickly.

"Whether those people give up or not... what does it have to do with me?"

"Huh?"

"Of course, there are people like you described, but they will eventually reap what they sow. Although I feel sorry for them, ultimately... their choices have nothing to do with me, do they?"

Hmm... it seems Li hope is indeed quite stubborn.

Seeing that Riki was gradually slipping out of her control, Nanami Natsuki quickly came up with a new excuse.

Of course, she certainly wouldn't use the old tricks again, since constantly saying these emotionally charged things makes her seem like some kind of missionary.

"What if I told you... the person you're pursuing, your sister, is actually the kind of pathetic person you're describing?"

"...What...what do you mean?!"

"Calm down. I was just saying if... how about we do a little experiment? When you get home, if your sister is home, go and have a heart-to-heart talk with her."

"Looking for her? But my sister and I haven't had a proper talk alone in a while..."

“Then you should definitely go find her. Just ask her two questions.” Nanami Natsuki said confidently. “The first question is to say that you’re thinking of giving up music and ask your sister for some ideas and advice.”

"……Then what?"

"The second question is that you are really jealous of her talent. The reason why you haven't talked to her alone for a while is because you can't accept that you, as her younger sister, are too mediocre."

"...This last part can only be considered a complaint, not a problem, right?"

"Why doesn't it count? I never said these questions were for your sister."

"...Huh?"

"You asked yourself both of those questions, Riki-chan."

Chapter 43 Father, are you planning to commit suicide? (1/2)

"I am back."

After finishing her busy day, Toyokawa Shoko didn't feel tired at all; on the contrary, she felt very fulfilled.

Although Chu Hua's gaze towards her seemed strange today, Xiangzi wondered if she had revealed some of her daily habits and that the other party had noticed something amiss.

Fortunately, Chu Hua didn't say anything that would frighten Xiangzi until he got home from get off work.

However, Xiangzi and her father have been in a cold war for the past few days. Of course, the main reason is that she is too angry. So every day after she gets home, she will bring her father dinner, but otherwise she ignores him.

But the problem is... the atmosphere when she got home today gave her a bad feeling.

Xiangzi opened the door, took off her leather shoes, and frowned. The room was dark and gloomy. The bedroom where her father usually stayed these past few days was also completely dark. In addition, the only sounds that could be heard in the quiet room, apart from her words "I'm back," were the creaking of the chair.

No way...

Xiangzi sensed something was wrong and quickly ran towards her father's bedroom. She had barely opened the door when she saw a scene that made her pupils dilate:

There was a chair in the center of the bedroom, and her father was standing on the chair, his hand seemingly fiddling with something upwards.

Without thinking, Xiangzi ran up and tackled her father. The two of them lost their balance due to the sudden impact and fell to the ground together.

"What are you doing? Are you trying to commit suicide using my body?!"

Xiangzi could tolerate everything else, but this was the one thing he simply could not accept.

She simply couldn't accept that, after her mother's death, her father was also leaving her.

And... if her father dies, what will she do? Not only will she lose her purpose in life, but it seems she can't get her body back!

"...You've misunderstood. I just wanted to change a light bulb."

"Change a light bulb? Who would believe that! If you want to change a light bulb... wait, the light bulb is actually broken."

Xiangzi looked up and found that the light bulb in the chandelier on his bedroom ceiling was now broken. No wonder she said the house was so dark today. It turned out that in addition to not turning on the outside lights to save electricity, even the bedroom where someone was sitting was dark without any lights to illuminate the darkness.

"How is this going?"

"..."

"You didn't smash it with a beer can, did you?"

"……Um."

Looking at her father, who was wearing a guilty expression on his face, Toyokawa Shoko suddenly didn't want to continue scolding him... She didn't know if it was just because scolding "herself" felt a little strange, or because her face was so easy to forgive.

However, Xiangzi did regret her earlier promise to her father to buy her alcohol. Although it was out of necessity, she wanted to prevent her father from losing control of his emotions and doing something extreme like what she now mistakenly believed to be suicide.

But she never expected that her indulgence would lead to her father becoming increasingly reckless.

"Why did you do this... Even if we can't get it back, starting a new life with my identity is also an option..."

Although Xiangzi knew the truth, she was still disappointed because if she had been in his body without knowing the truth, she wouldn't have just drifted through each day in a daze.

"Hehe... Xiao Xiang, do you know how unfamiliar these textbooks of yours are to me, as an adult who has been out of school for many years?"

"...Eh?" Toyokawa Shoko looked at her father, who had become completely unfamiliar to her, her tone filled with both disappointment and fear. "Is that all you wanted to say?!"

"You don't understand..."

"Then tell me! Don't always stand there so high and mighty, spouting nonsense at me like some know-it-all. As an adult, act like one!!!"

In the past, even if Toyokawa Shoko was very angry, she would never yell at her father. Firstly, because she truly respected her father, and secondly, because the Toyokawa family's upbringing did not allow her to behave disrespectfully towards her elders.

But now she no longer has such concerns.

To her, the Toyokawa family now only feels ugly and repulsive. Whether it's the things her grandfather did or her father's current attitude towards life, they all make her feel extremely disappointed.

The only things that could bring her comfort were her deceased mother and those seemingly ethereal and beautiful memories of the past.

"How could you speak to your father like that..."

"Now I am the father."

"???"

"...Actually, I already know about Hatsune Miku."

"W-What did you say?" Toyokawa Kiyoko was truly shocked this time. He looked at his daughter in disbelief. "You went to see your grandfather?"

"Otherwise, where else could I have gotten this information? However... I didn't learn Hatsune's specific identity from my grandfather."

"...That's good."

"Heh... So you don't intend to tell me anything more, is that it?" Xiangzi was heartbroken as he looked at his father, who still intended to keep things from him.

"This is not something you should know in the first place, and I already promised them..."

"Then why can't you keep your promises to me?"

"..."

"Because I'm your daughter, right?"

"What did you say?"

"Because I am your family, no matter what you do to me, you cannot change the fact that I am family. You also know very well that I have no intention of abandoning you, so that's why you treat me like this... isn't that right?"

"Xiao Xiang! Watch your words!"

"Here we go again... Father, no matter how ridiculous your behavior is, you never forget your aggressive nature as an elder... It's precisely because Hatsune Miku isn't family to you that you care so much about her opinion of you, right?"

The sound of "slap" did not ring out, because while Toyokawa Kiyoshi was manipulating the body of a middle school girl to try to slap his daughter, Shoko had already anticipated this and grabbed his wrist.

Even his behavior after getting angry is so heartbreaking. If I were Hatsune Miku, the illegitimate daughter abandoned by the Toyokawa family in my father's eyes, would he still treat me like this?

Excessive kindness will only be shown to outsiders with whom you are not that close, while you will only respond to those who truly care about you with indifference and ruthlessness.

“Father…I will never let myself become like you.”

"Someone like me... even my daughter looks down on me now? Haha..."

"The only person who ever looks down on yourself is yourself!"

Toyokawa Kiyoko stopped talking, because he knew his daughter was right.

Chapter 44 Xiao Xiang, haven't you ever run away from anything? (2/2)

"To tell you the truth, Father... I already know who Hatsune Miku really is."

"……impossible."

Seeing her father still stubbornly refusing to admit it, Toyokawa Shoko secretly wanted to laugh.

Before she could continue explaining, her father couldn't hold back any longer and asked, "Did your maternal grandfather tell you?"

"No."

"How could you possibly know? Hatsune herself would never say that."

How do you know she won't tell?

"What do you mean?"

Xiangzi glanced at Fengchuan Qinggao indifferently, as if she were talking about something unrelated to herself, and recounted her experiences over the past few days.

She mentioned that she had met a "friend" named Nanami Natsuki, that she had told him the "secret" of switching bodies, and that she had gone to work at Win-Wing Production using her father's identity. By the end of her story, she noticed that her father's face had turned very pale.

It seems that Nanami is indeed Hatsune Miku.

Otherwise, the father wouldn't have reacted this way.

"Natsuki Nanami, that's Hatsune Miku, right? She's already told me everything."
