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

"..."

"Nanami." Xiangzi's expression softened again, but she didn't know why she would speak up for someone who wanted to steal her life. "Don't go on like this... You're not that kind of person, right?"

"You think you know me well?"

"But you were willing to exchange my and my father's bodies, and... you know us so well. You didn't do those things to make us despair, you did them to..."

"Don't flatter yourself. Do you think I have to be nice to you just because you're cute? Let me tell you, I'm satisfied with just looking in the mirror every morning. I don't need to look at your face to satisfy my aesthetic needs."

"..."

“But,” Xiangzi said after a moment of silence, “the mistakes of our parents have nothing to do with us! They are the ones who made the mistakes. Did they ask you if you wanted to come into this world?”

"No, right? So... this is unfair to you. People should have the right to choose for themselves, and they gave up their choice..."

"Stop, stop, stop! You're using all my words!"

"...Huh? What do you mean, your words and my words?"

"Ahem... It's nothing." Nanami Natsuki was a little embarrassed. She couldn't very well tell Shoko that she had already used similar language with Hatsuka. "Don't worry, you don't need to be afraid that I'll steal your life, because I'm not interested in your family."

"So you've decided to settle for second best and ruin my friends' lives..."

"what?"

"Isn't it all written here? Everyone at Crychic... and Hatsuka and Nanami, who aren't listed here, you can't do this..."

"I can do whatever I want, you shorty, you're being too nosy!"

"You're not that tall either..."

Say it again!!!

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

After being yelled at by Nanami Natsuki, Toyokawa Shoko immediately shrank back, but she seemed to know that it was impossible for her to explain everything to this guy who was blinded by hatred.

So... because of their twisted identities, did these two peers who should have gotten along well have to end up like this?

Why……

The image of her grandfather flashed through Toyokawa Shoko's mind, and at this moment, she felt an even stronger sense of disgust towards her palatial home than before.

But she also knew that she had to stay there for her father's sake, and only by regaining her status as the young lady could she have the power to fight against Nanami Natsuki.

Saying "I am not your enemy" now seems meaningless. Even if I weakly said to Nanami Natsuki at this moment, "Then take my life," it wouldn't turn all the wrong things into right things.

But how long will this way of getting along continue? I don't actually dislike her that much...

"I won't bring this up again, okay?"

"That's more like it!"

Seeing Nanami Natsuki's sudden change in expression, as if her previous excitement was all an act, Shoko became even more confused.

However, she would never back down from what she believed to be right, unless... her judgment was wrong from the start.

In the past, her mistakes would be pointed out by Nanami Natsuki, but what about now? What if both she and Nanami are wrong?

"You want to take away my talent, right? If that makes you feel a little better... then go ahead and do it."

"Hehe, you seem pretty calm, Xiao Xiang~"

"I...I'm prepared."

"Really? Did you say the same thing to your grandfather when you left the Toyokawa family?"

"You! Why do you always have to provoke me! I said I won't regret it, and I mean it! This time is different from last time!!!"

"Of course it's because I like the way you treat me. If you ever fall in love with me, I'll really go crazy."

"...Who would like someone like you?"

Toyokawa Shoko rolled her eyes at Nanami somewhat awkwardly. At most, she just wanted to be friends with Nanami. How could she possibly have such a terrible idea?

"Begin, unleash your sorcery."

"What do you mean by sorcery..."

Nanami Natsuki rolled her eyes, not getting angry over such a small matter.

However, before cutting out Xiangzi's personality fragments, she did have a bit more time to think.

The last time she cut off all of Xiangzi's and Xiangdi's personalities, she set a one-month duration to save time. However, after switching them back earlier, she didn't get any of the extra time spent back.

Furthermore, since she had used permanent cuts when she removed the talents and personalities from Chu Hua's "friends," she hadn't gained much useful benefit from those transactions...

After all, the cost of permanent removal is far too great compared to the emotional reactions of those people afterward.

Otherwise, with so many transactions made by Nanami Natsuki within four days, she wouldn't have had to worry about the resurrection fee at least two months later.

So this time she can't be so extravagant. Clients aren't easy to find, and even Chu Hua doesn't have that many useful connections to make another deal.

"Xiao Xiang, how often can you come here to see me again? I mean regularly."

"Huh? Nanami, you..."

[Received a positive emotion named "Joy" from Toyokawa Shoko, +6 Emotion Points]

"Don't overthink it. I just want to know if you've tried to commit suicide over this. If you died, where would I find such a good toy?"

[Received a positive emotion from Toyokawa Shoko titled "Feeling touched after being cared for," +18 emotion points]

"No, I already told you not to overthink it!"

"I...I wasn't thinking anything." Toyokawa Shoko looked at Nanami, who was throwing a tantrum like a little girl, with some confusion and said with a hint of grievance, "School is about to start, so I probably won't be able to come see you every day, but once a week should be fine."

"Alright then, you can come see me once a week from now on... No, that's not what I meant. I already said I only hate you and have no other feelings for you. I just want to come see you every week to extend the time limit for taking your talent... Ah, oh no."

[Received a positive emotion from Toyokawa Shoko titled "So moved I could cry," emotion points +233]

[Received negative emotion from Toyokawa Shoko titled "Feeling guilty for falsely accusing an innocent person," emotion points +38]

"Thank you, Nanami. I knew you weren't that bad..."

"Shut up, you blue dwarf!"

With a bang, enraged and embarrassed, Nanami Natsuki used all her strength to ram into Shoko. Then, with a cry of pain, Shoko, who had no time to dodge, was tackled to the ground by Nanami Natsuki.

Seeing Xiao Xiang's terrified and panicked eyes, Nanami's hand, which was originally going to slap him, stopped in mid-air. There was no way... If she left an obvious mark, the Toyokawa family driver waiting outside would probably come and cause trouble for her.

Then there's only one option...

"Slap~ Slap~"

Nanami Natsuki picked up the unopened long loaf of bread that Suze had bought for her and slammed it straight at Xiangzi's head.

"No, stop hitting me! If you keep hitting me, I'll go crazy!"

"What does this have to do with me? I just don't like you, so what?! Just you wait, Xiao Xiang, the consequence of underestimating me is that your future will be bleak and dark!"

Chapter 66 Chu Hua, You Look Like a Dog (4700 words)

For the past two days, Misaka Hatsuka has been in a daze. Even Mana, the little sun, could sense that something was wrong with her. But only she knew that her problem couldn't be solved by just having a few words with someone.

"Chuhua..."

"It's okay, Mana, I'm fine..."

"Why don't you take some time off and rest? I'm really worried about you."

Mana is such a reliable teammate, but if her secret were to be revealed, would she still see her that way?

—A conman who stole someone else's identity to live in Tokyo, and a wealthy family's illegitimate daughter whose identity is etched into her bones and can never be erased.

"Speaking of which, Mr. Toyokawa has been... lately..."

"Toyokawa?!"

"..." Seeing Hatsuka's intense reaction upon hearing the name, Mana's expression turned somewhat strange. "Hatsuka, you wouldn't..."

"No, what are you thinking!" Chu Hua rolled her eyes and retorted irritably, "I just... By the way, what did you say about Mr. Toyokawa?"

"Hasn't he been absent for two days? I heard he's no longer in charge of Sumimi's creations, what a pity... Actually, I think Mr. Toyokawa is quite amazing."

And the way people at the company treat him has changed a lot lately, which is really strange.

"I see..."

Chu Hua wasn't too surprised, since the person inside Toyokawa's body was now Toyokawa himself, so it was impossible for him to come here to create a new song for Sumimi.

Chu Hua felt somewhat relieved that she was spared the awkwardness of meeting Toyokawa Kiyoshi directly, since she really didn't know how she should face that man.

"Chuhua, why do you still look so miserable? Come and have some dessert to cheer yourself up~"

"Donuts again?" Chu Hua gave a wry smile, but still took the donuts from Mana's hand.

"No, little sister, you can't come here! Security! Where are the security guards?!"

"You old lady, you talk too much! I, Nanami Natsuki, can go wherever I want! If you say another word, believe me, I'll lie down and blackmail you!"

"How can you be so shameless, little girl? Fine... I'll see how you try to extort me!"

"..."

Mana and Hatsuka, who were inside the room, were both drawn to the sounds outside. However, unlike Mana, Hatsuka's inner thoughts were clearly much more intense.

It's Nanami... Why did she find her way here? Could she be looking for me...?

With a "bang," the door to the lounge was pushed open by someone outside, and a cute little head peeked in through the crack in the door.

"Hey! If you keep this up, I'm really going to call the police and have you arrested. How did you even get up here? You wouldn't happen to be...?"

"Sister Kitagawa, she is my friend."

"Uh..." The staff member outside the door was a little embarrassed after hearing Chu Hua's explanation, but before leaving, she still gave Nanami Natsuki a fierce threatening look.

"Xiao Chu, so this cute little girl is your friend~"

"What little girl? I'm only a year younger than Chu Hua!"

"Um... Mana, I have something I want to talk to Nanami about, so... we'll be going now."

"...Huh?"

Chu Hua's expression changed from surprise to delight, and then from delight to some tension and panic.

There was no way around it; unlike Mana, she was well aware of how wicked this little devil's nature was. If Nanami were to develop an interest in Mana as well, she would truly become a sinner against Sumimi.
