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

It's all Deng's fault, no matter what!

Shoko Toyokawa didn't actually have much of a childhood connection with Sadaharu Toyokawa, because in her memory, her grandfather never showed much concern for his family; he always seemed to be thinking about how to elevate the Toyokawa family's social standing.

"Nanami...you must know how to deal with my grandfather, right? After all, you're capable of anything..."

"No, Xiao Xiang, what's wrong with you?"

"I... don't want to go on like this anymore. Also, Nanami, let's make up, okay? I won't blame you... after all, the Toyokawa family really treated you badly, so it's understandable that you did those things."

"Besides, you didn't go that far. You just made a mistake that every girl makes!"

"???"

Nanami Natsuki hurriedly went to check on Shoko's mood, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she realized that she did not seem to receive any "love" from Shoko.

But the problem is, this is still very strange... Could it be the legendary Stockholm syndrome? Having been bullied by oneself so much, has one started to defend the perpetrator?

No, no... How can this be allowed? Does Nanami Natsuki need to be redeemed? Only villains who don't have a clear self-identity would think about redeeming themselves.

She always went down a path to the bitter end, and if Xiao Xiang stopped hating her, wouldn't she be unable to get Xiao Xiang to give her gold coins no matter what she did in the future?

Absolutely not. Nanami Natsuki wouldn't think about anything unnecessary when facing life and death. She's a selfish person; she won't easily trust others. She will only ever live for herself.

"I get it. You're saying all this just to stop me from getting revenge on you, right? Heh... You're overthinking it. I don't believe a word you say."

"Why...why can't you believe me!"

Lying alone in her rented room, Xiangzi sounded very anxious, because heaven and earth could bear witness that she was not like what Nanami Natsuki had said.

She was even grateful to Nanami, because without this experience, she might have sunk deeper into this quagmire of life and become more and more like her father, unable to see or appreciate the love others had for her.

Yes, her father only cared about her maternal grandfather's approval, but didn't she also hope to gain her father's approval?

That's why she didn't see the longing looks that Tamamo and Riki gave her, right? But thankfully... it's not too late. With Nanami Natsuki's help, she saw the truth and understood herself.

In other words, deep down she was actually somewhat relieved about her meeting with Nanami.

The despicable aspects of what the other person did are washed away by their tragic background, leaving only relatively positive emotions.

However, Nanami didn't seem to believe her...

That makes sense. After all, I used to be a really jerk, so it's only natural that Nanami would hate me so much, right?

"Nanami... let's make a deal."

After thinking for a long time, Xiangzi finally gave up on trying to change his image in Qihai's eyes over the phone. Instead, he proposed a special deal that Qihai would like the most, "If it's this, you shouldn't refuse..."

"I refuse."

"Huh?"

No way, could it be that Nanami has already started to feel sorry for her?

When she heard the words "I refuse," Xiangzi did not get angry immediately as Nanami Natsuki had expected. Instead, her cheeks flushed and she even felt a little happy.

"Do you think I have to make a deal with you just because you want me to? Who do you take me for? Doraemon?"

"But……"

“Make your position clear to me. You and I are mortal enemies. Don’t pretend to be friends with me and try to use friendship to coerce me into doing things for you. Hah… I’m not a fool like Su Shi.”

"I……"

"Alright, alright, I'll let you switch back with your father. I'm really fed up with you two, I really don't want to see you two crazy father and daughter anymore..."

"and many more."

Xiangzi on the other end of the phone was getting anxious; she was genuinely unwilling to let Qihai completely sever ties with her like this.

She finally found someone she could confide her negative emotions to, even though she had always thought that Nanami Natsuki had no redeeming qualities other than her delicate and cute appearance.

But now her thinking has slowly changed.

"Nanami...you really want to see me in pain, don't you? Is that what you're trying to say?"

Hearing Xiangzi's tragic tone, which sounded as if he were about to face death, Nanami Natsuki was a little confused. "So what if I am?"

"Then... I will give you my most precious thing, as long as you can help my father live a normal life."

"Really? What if I were to take away your musical talent, which you're so proud of?"

"what?!"

Xiangzi paused for a moment, holding her phone. She really hadn't expected that Nanami Natsuki would be targeting this this time.

"Well, that works... as long as you pass on my talent to my father, he should be able to..."

"Aren't you overthinking it? When did I ever say I wanted your father to inherit your talents? What I mean is... take away your father's laziness and despondency, just like before, and then you'll have a perfect father again?"

"But that's not the right thing to do."

"Are you still dwelling on these things now? Then let me ask you, if one day you discovered you had the power to sever this twisted family relationship between us, so that I would no longer hate you or make things difficult for you, would you do it?"

"...Probably."

"So, Xiao Xiang, you see, you don't actually care whether what you see in front of you is fake or not, you just want everyone to become the way you expect them to be."

"Why……"

"Ok?"

"Nanami, why do you insist on making me hate you? I clearly wanted to be good friends with you... Actually, you weren't wrong. I also wanted to help you. Is it... is it because you don't trust me? Do you think I'll be like Father... just empty words? But I..."

"Stop, stop, stop babbling on. Remember, I'm your aunt who can't be seen in public. Do you really think we can be friends? Don't kid me."

"..."

[Received a negative emotion from Toyokawa Shoko titled "Resentment," +20 emotion points]

[Received a negative emotion named "resentment" from Toyokawa Shoko, +5 emotion points]

[Received a positive emotion from Toyokawa Shoko titled "Obsession with Nanami Natsuki", +520 emotion points]

"???"

What's that last one? She didn't see it wrong, did she?

Oh no... Xiangzi is actually making a move on her?! This is outrageous!

We must intensify our efforts.

"Let me tell you, Toyokawa Shoko, although we are about the same age, we are two extremes. You will never understand me, and I will never understand you either. Heh... You actually think you can treat me as your confidant? Pfft, how pathetic are you?"

"Ah, is it because you've driven all your friends away? Hmm... no, because even if you had friends, they wouldn't bother to get to know you. After all, who would want to be friends with someone like you?"

"Natsuki Nanami! How could you say that to me?! I'm angry, really angry!"

I'm angry, I'm angry, hehe.

"Don't believe me? Let's make a bet. When school starts in a few days, if you see any people you used to know at school, and you don't take the initiative to contact them, see who will talk to you instead?"

"You think you're a succubus who can bewitch everyone? Don't think too highly of yourself. Even if you feel you've wronged them, does that mean they have to forgive you?"

As your aunt, let me tell you two more secrets.

"..."

Toyokawa Shoko trembled all over. At this moment, she wished she could rush in front of Nanami Natsuki, push her down, and then do everything in her power to shut up her aunt who had always angered her.

But she was also very scared, because she had a premonition that what Nanami Natsuki was about to say would not be good news.

Was she mistaken? Did Nanami not actually intend to help her at all? But...

"The first secret is that the person who wants to take away your musical talent isn't me, but someone from Crychic. Do you want to guess who it is? Hmm... I think you can guess who it is, right? After all, there seems to be only one candidate."

"No, no, you're lying to me..."

"The second secret is that Su Shi already knows about Xiao Xiang being swapped in a body. Guess why she didn't come looking for you? Haha... because she's on my side now, she doesn't care which body a bastard is in!"

"What?! Impossible... How could Su Shi... Nanami Natsuki, why have you become like this? You were so clear before..."

"Alright, I've told you all the secrets I wanted to tell you. Oh, right... since I enjoyed toying with you, I can give you an extra discount on our deal. Chu Hua is your friend, right?"

"You...you haven't already..."

"This time is different. If you give me your talent, I will not only give you a perfect father, but I will also help Chuhua achieve what she wants to achieve most, free of charge."

"How about it? Don't worry, I won't lie to you about the details of the deal. At least I will definitely fulfill what I said I would do. But I think that since you care so much about your so-called friend game, Xiao Xiang, you should agree to it for the sake of Chu Hua, who is still willing to talk to you, right?"

"I……"

Just then, hurried footsteps sounded at the door. Li hope, who had just entered, frowned and whispered a reminder to her:

"Su Shi is back."

"Ah... that's settled then, I'll hang up now. If you've made up your mind, come to my house and I'll send you the address, but you have to let me know before you come."

"Hello? Hello!"

Before Xiangzi could say anything more, Nanami Natsuki had already hung up the phone.

Of course, she kept her promise and casually restored the original state of Xiangzi and her father's personality swap in her mind.

"What...did you say to her?"

"I made a deal with her, hmm... she should agree. Don't worry, Lixi, we're accomplices now, I won't treat you unfairly."

"That's not what I meant... Never mind, let's leave it at that."

A knock sounded at the door, and Lixi stopped her hesitant expression and turned to go to the entrance. However, when she looked back at Nanami Natsuki behind her, she found that he seemed to have quickly switched his emotions and even put on an expression of utter despair and anger.

What is this guy up to now?

I always have this urge to hit someone.

"Lixi, is Xiaoxiang alright?"

"I...I don't know either."

“I was gone for a while. After all, I couldn’t let Xiao Xiang wear that bastard’s clothes, so I went home and got some suitable old clothes.”

While explaining why she had been gone for so long, Su Shi walked into the house. But when she saw Xiao Xiang's distraught expression, she immediately became anxious and rushed over to hug Xiao Xiang tightly.

"What's wrong, Xiaoxiang? Is it... is it that Qihai is causing you trouble again?"

"..."

"Say something, Xiao Xiang!"
