When Toyokawa Kiyoshi looked at Nanami with the same eyes he had used on her, Mikami Hatsuka felt even more moved.

Nanami didn't actually need to go to such lengths for her, but she did anyway. Was it just because she wanted to keep her promise to Xiaoxiang?

But if it were me, would I be willing to go to such lengths for someone I don't have a good relationship with?

You have to understand that being the illegitimate daughter of the Toyokawa family is not something worth fighting for. Nanami Natsuki was willing to give up this sin that she shouldn't have to bear for her sake... If I still have to think about how to sever ties with Nanami, then is she even human?

Even though Nanami likes to joke with her and forces her to do embarrassing and infuriating things, so what?

"But... Sister Yue, aren't we rushing things? I'm not ready yet, after all, that man..."

"What's there to worry about? Besides, we have so much time today. School starts tomorrow, and we won't have this much free time after that."

"......All right."

Seeing that Nanami was not afraid or worried at all, Hatsuka was also touched. She couldn't help but hug Nanami Natsuki's arm and left the company with her, and then took the same taxi.

Mikasa didn't know the exact location of the Toyokawa family's house, so after getting in the car, Nanami Natsuki explained the location to the driver.

Looking at the changing scenery outside the car window, Mitsuka Hatsuka remained silent, but her heart was pounding fiercely.

In fact, she had never officially met her father. Because she had never met him, she often fantasized about what if her father wasn't as cold and heartless as Mr. Toyokawa Kiyoshi had described.

After all, she is the other party's daughter. Should a father feel nothing but disgust when he sees his own child, something that shouldn't belong to a father?

But if things were really as good as she imagined, then why hadn't her father appeared before her for so long?

The other party must know where she lives and what she does for a living, but for so long, apart from learning about her father's attitude from Mr. Toyokawa Kiyotaka, she has never had the opportunity to face the other party directly.

"Are you thinking of giving up, Sister Chuhua?"

"...Huh?"

Nanami Natsuki grasped Hatsuka's hand in return. This intimate gesture made Hatsuka, who was only thinking of her, very uncomfortable. It made her feel like she had betrayed her "lover".

"You haven't met your father yet, have you?"

"Um......"

"So you're still having fantasies about him, right?"

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

"Whether you know or not, you'll find out when you meet me. But I've done a lot to help you, so please remember to treat me well in the future, Sister Chuhua."

Heaven knows how heartbroken Nanami Natsuki was when she saw her emotional points balance almost depleted. If it weren't for these amazing girls continuously providing her with new income, she might not even have been able to modify Toyokawa Noboru's memories.

However, Chu Hua found these words somewhat ambiguous. Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she subtly withdrew her hand from Nanami Natsuki's, as if expressing her loyalty to Shoko in this way.

"Speaking of which, instead of dwelling on unhappy things, Sister Chuhua, why don't you think about what you want to do after all this is over?"

"Do you want to do something?"

That is indeed a good question.

Chu Hua thought about it carefully and realized that she already had an answer in her heart: to stand on the same stage as Xiao Xiang.

She couldn't do this before because the Toyokawa family wouldn't allow her to get too close to Sho, and she hadn't yet established herself in Tokyo. Without her parents providing living expenses, she could only survive on her own.

But things are different now. If her identity can be removed, then perhaps no one will stop her and Xiao Xiang from forming a new band.

Of course, she won't give up on Sumimi either, as Mana is also a very important friend to her.

“I’m thinking of… forming a band with Xiao Xiang? I’ve always had this wish, and I’ll probably bring it up with Xiao Xiang after everything is over.”

"Forming a band? Hehehehe..."

"...Sister Yue, why did you laugh like that?"

"It's nothing. I'll tell you why after today is over."

"Ok."

Misaka Hatsuka felt something was off, but now wasn't the time to talk about it, because as they chatted casually along the way, they arrived at the gate of the Toyokawa family villa.

Is this Xiao Xiang's original home?

It was impossible for Misaka Chuka not to feel envious, but she didn't feel jealous; she just felt a little pathetic.

"Sister Yue, how do we get in?"

"Just tell the people inside. We're here to visit Xiaoxiang as her good friends. I also told Xiaoxiang in advance that I was coming, and she seemed quite happy to hear that."

Is it because of me that I'm happy? Chu Hua couldn't help but wonder.

Unfortunately, her thoughts were somewhat at odds with reality. The reason why Xiangzi had some expectations after receiving the message from Nanami was entirely because she believed that her relationship with Nanami would improve.

However, saying this would really lower the coolness of Nanami Natsuki's devilish persona, so Nanami didn't bother to explain. She just looked at the golden retriever, who was inexplicably excited and seemed to be in heat, with a strange expression.

"You must be the young lady's good friends? The young lady is currently discussing matters with the head of the family in the study. Would you like me to take you to rest in the reception room for a while?"

"Xiao Xiang... Xiao Xiang..."

With a "smack," Nanami Natsuki, feeling somewhat embarrassed, slapped Hatsuka's butt, interrupting Hatsuka's babbling behavior, which seemed rather strange to anyone.

"No need to trouble you, sister. Could you tell me where the study is? Um... we'd like to surprise her at the study door, is that alright?"

"Of course, cute little girl~"

Maids are always powerless against cute little girls. This was true for their young lady, and even more so for Nanami Natsuki. So when the maid saw Nanami Natsuki's deliberately cute antics, she didn't say anything insensitive. Instead, she couldn't help but pat Nanami Natsuki's head before reluctantly leaving to do her own thing.

"Damn it...he touched my head!"

"..."

Misaka Hatsuka didn't know what to say, because all she wanted to do was see Shoko as soon as possible. She even forgot that she shouldn't be doing this in her current position, and she shouldn't be going to see her niece, Shoko Toyokawa, in front of everyone at the Toyokawa family home.

"Let's go, Chuhua, let's go find your scumbag father now."

"Huh?"

"You're not thinking of backing out again, are you?"

"I...that's not what I meant."

"Then why are you shaking?"

"...Sister Yue, please stop teasing me..."

"Who told me to tease you so much?" Nanami Natsuki looked at Misaki Hatsuka, whom she had teased beyond recognition, with a mischievous smile. She also felt a lot of satisfaction from the other girl.

However, they were indeed very lucky this time, as they happened to come across an opportunity to legitimately find Old Deng's position.

Otherwise, it would be very impolite for them, as guests, to wander around looking for the head of a household without a host.

Following the directions given by the maid, Nanami Natsuki and Hatsuka quickly arrived at the door of the study, but the soundproofing of the study seemed to be very strong, and they could not hear what the people inside were saying at all from outside.

Before Chu Hua knew what to do, she saw Nanami Natsuki turn the doorknob and then kick open the unlocked study door.

"Xiaoyue, you..."

"What's there to be afraid of? They're the ones who should be afraid. I'm here, Sister Chuhua."

"this......"

The commotion they made clearly alerted the two people inside. Xiangzi glanced back at the person who had entered the room, but when she saw Chu Hua standing beside Qi Hai, a hint of panic and worry flashed in her eyes.

"...Xiao Xiang, you can go out now."

"Grandpa..."

"go out!"

"......Yes."

Xiangzi glanced at Chuhua, then at Qihai, and she seemed to understand why her grandfather was in such a hurry.

Indeed, anyone would be furious if they saw their illegitimate daughter, whom they had been trying to hide, so brazenly come to their house and even violently kick open the study door and barge in.

Thinking of this, Toyokawa Shoko, who had been harboring a lot of resentment towards her grandfather for some time, couldn't help but feel a sense of schadenfreude. At the same time, she couldn't help but worry about the treatment that Nanami Natsuki would face next.

But this should be fine too?

After all, Nanami Natsuki really went too far. It would be great if these two could start arguing. It would be even better if Nanami Natsuki's fighting power was even stronger, to the point that she could make her grandfather speechless.

"Hatsune... I really didn't expect you to actually dare to come here on your own initiative."

After Toyokawa Shoko closed the door, Toyokawa Sadaharu went to the door again and locked it from the inside. After doing these actions, he spoke the above sentence to Misumi Hatsune, who was hugging her arms, pale-faced, and silent with her head down, in a very cold and stern tone.

However, when he realized that there was a strange girl next to Hatsune Miku who hadn't left with her, his expression became even more impatient.

"Did I ask you to stay here? Are you Xiao Xiang's friend?"

"I am your father."

"......What did you say?"

Toyokawa Sadaharu was stunned for a moment, and didn't even feel angry at Nanami Natsuki's rude remarks at first.

However, someone like him wouldn't get angry over a little brat's arrogance. How could the head of a group with a market value of over 100 billion lose his temper at a girl who looked to be under 16? He couldn't bear the embarrassment.

However... he couldn't possibly be so open about his family's dirty laundry to an outsider.

But just as he was about to kick Nanami Natsuki out, Nanami spoke first:

"Old Deng, I know what you're going to say. Hatsune Miku is your illegitimate daughter, right? I know all that, so you don't need to pretend."

"......very good."

Toyokawa Sadaharu narrowed his eyes, staring intently at the little girl who showed no fear whatsoever, then glanced at Hatsune Miku beside him, who was already somewhat unsteady on her feet, and smiled.

"It seems you know how to use your position, so are you here to ask me for money? Or is it...?"

"Father, why did you...?"

"Don't call me father." Toyokawa Sadaharu interrupted Hatsuka. "I thought you knew your place. As an illegitimate child, it's already outrageous that you were allowed to enter the Toyokawa family. What... do you want everyone to know about this?"

"I remember you and Xiaoxiang are good friends, right? So you want to tell her... that your relationship with her is that of aunt and niece?"

Sanjiao Chuhua stared blankly, somewhat unable to believe that her first formal meeting with her biological father would be like this.

Why... even her adoptive father never said such hurtful things, why would her biological father say such absurd things?

"I have no objection to you staying in Tokyo, and I won't interfere if you continue being an entertainer, but you shouldn't have come here, Hatsune Miku. You've crossed the line, do you understand?"

"Why?! Why are you all treating me like this?!"
