"Aren't you and Mom in love? If you have feelings for her, why don't you have any feelings for me...?"
“You’re wrong. I don’t have much affection for your mother either; it was just an accident.”
"Don't you think this is unfair to me? Why should I have to bear the consequences of your mistakes?"
"..."
A hint of guilt flashed in Toyokawa Sadaharu's eyes, but it quickly disappeared. "That's how the adult world is. I am the head of the Toyokawa family, but even I cannot completely control everything in this family. If your childish ideas were to appear in my mind, this family would be finished."
Do you know the consequences of your identity being exposed? Your good friend Xiaoxiang might lose her financial support, and she and her father will live a much worse life than before. Even so... are you still going to make things difficult for me?
"me......"
Mitsumi Hatsuka was no match for Toyokawa Sadaharu, especially since she was a fool who would soften at the mere mention of Sho. After Toyokawa Sadaharu played the emotional card, she was completely powerless to fight back.
"Sister Yue... save me..."
Under Toyokawa Sadaharu's strange gaze, Mikasa Hatsuka knelt down directly beneath Nanami Natsuki, hugging the girl's legs encased in black stockings and began to murmur.
"I don't want this anymore... I don't want to suffer anymore. He's not my father... I don't accept him..."
“Okay, Hatsuka.” Nanami Natsuki leaned down and gently lifted Hatsuka’s chin with her hand. “Your Moon-neechan will always satisfy all your desires, whether beautiful or dirty.”
Chapter 68 Chu Hua: I'm going to strangle you, you little rascal! (5000 words remaining)
Has Hatsune Miku really broken down like this?
So, did he make a mistake? No... Even if he did make a mistake, he shouldn't make an even bigger one in an attempt to make amends.
He could accept helping Hatsune Miku have a smoother life than ordinary people, but he absolutely could not accept the child asking him for more. This was the only thing Toyokawa Sadaharu could do right now.
"Hatsune, you..."
Before he could finish speaking, Toyokawa Sadaharu felt something twisting in his head. The dizziness almost made him lose his footing. Fortunately, there was a sofa not far behind him. Before his consciousness became increasingly confused, he used his last bit of strength to collapse onto the sofa and take one last look at the increasingly blurry figures of the two women.
What happened? He didn't know...
All he knew was that when he woke up again, nothing seemed to have changed; the room was still filled with him, Hatsune Miku, and Xiao Xiang's good friend.
However, Hatsune's expression no longer seemed as panicked and desperate as before. Instead, she looked at her father with a mocking gaze, which made Toyokawa Sadaharu feel somewhat displeased.
Even if he doesn't admit to being Hatsune Miku's father, shouldn't this be the way a child looks at their elder?
"Hatsune, I hope you can think about Xiaoxiang's situation carefully. If you can agree not to involve more people in this matter, you can get some financial support from me. I guess you must be having a hard time right now, right?"
"Huh? You...you mean her?"
As Misaka Hatsuka watched Toyokawa Sadaharu wake up in just a few minutes, and as he stared at Nanami from the moment he woke up, saying things that should have been directed at her, Hatsuka felt a real sense of unreality.
Yes, even though she had witnessed it once before, and even though Mr. Toyokawa Kiyotaka had undergone such a change, the appearance of such a bizarre change in front of her biological father still made her feel as if she had just woken up from a dream.
However, this dream of hers was a nightmare that had plagued her for more than ten years.
"You must be Chu Hua, right? Xiao Xiang mentioned you to me. Although you shouldn't know about this, I hope you can give your friend some advice."
"I?"
"As an outsider, you may not understand the terrible impact this has had on our family, on Hatsune Miku herself, and on Sho.
"To put it simply, even if I acknowledge all of this, Hatsune Miku won't have a better life than she does now. What positive changes would a mere formal acceptance bring to everyone?"
"I hope that as an observer who can see the whole situation clearly, you can rationally help her think about what is right."
"...What if what I say is different from what you expect?"
Mikami Hatsuka was in a dilemma. Although she felt much more at ease because of Toyokawa Sadaharu's changed memories, she did not want to give up what she believed was right.
"..."
Toyokawa Sadaharu didn't speak, but remained silent for a moment before saying, "I remember you work at an office under our group, right?"
"You...you're threatening me?!"
"I'm sorry, I'm only doing this for the future of the Toyokawa family."
"Alright, Chu Hua." Nanami Natsuki waved her hand, seemingly quickly embracing her new identity. "Old Deng, you think too highly of yourself, and you think too highly of your Toyokawa family. Do you think I need the Toyokawa family's help? How laughable..."
"..."
"I'm here today to tell you that I will never again have such an unrealistic idea as returning to the Toyokawa family. Even if you kneel down and beg me to acknowledge you as my living father, I will not agree."
"But whether or not you contact Xiaoxiang is not up to you. It's her business if she wants to be friends with me, but I won't tell her about my own affairs. Our relationship is our own business. Do you want to interfere with who I'm friends with?"
"Old Deng, with all this worrying, are you perhaps hoping to get yourself into your coffin sooner?"
"You! How dare you speak to your father like that?!"
"Didn't I tell you? You're not my father anymore, so don't talk to me like a father lecturing his daughter. Do you believe that if you push me too far, I'll fight you to the death?"
"You know I'm all alone and have nothing, so do you dare to fight me head-on? You old bastard..."
"..."
This fighting power... isn't it a bit too ferocious?
Sanjiao Chuhua huddled to the side, not daring to say a word, just watching the two of them bicker. And this older sister of hers really wasn't afraid of anything. Wasn't she afraid that the two of them wouldn't be able to leave the room after saying such harsh things?
"Is this how your mother raised you? I think you are..."
Just as Toyokawa Sadaharu was about to slap Nanami Natsuki, Nanami shamelessly covered her head and crouched down in defense, letting out a pitiful scream:
"Murder!!!"
This guy... the contrast is too big, isn't it? So you're just a smart aleck, and your actual fighting ability is zero?
Chu Hua's lips twitched slightly, whether it was because she felt extremely pained by the words Qi Hai had said on her behalf, or because she had now shed the identity of Xiao Xiang's aunt.
"Nanami, let's go... And Mr. Toyokawa... please don't do this, we won't say anything carelessly."
"Humph."
Not daring to look at Toyokawa Sadaharu's expression again, Mikami Hatsuka dragged Nanami Natsuki away from the study as if fleeing.
"Nanami... thank you, thank you so much."
"Why don't you call me Sister Yue anymore? Tsk tsk, now that things are settled, you're not trying to please me anymore. Waaah... I'm so sad."
"I... I'm afraid Xiao Xiang will overthink it if he hears this. From now on, when no one else is around, I'll do whatever you ask, after all, this is something I owe you..."
"That's more like it. Shall we go see your beloved Xiao Xiang now?"
"Don't talk nonsense..."
"Shall we leave now?"
"Let's go see Xiao Xiang."
Following the maid's directions, the two found Xiao Xiang's bedroom. As soon as Nanami Natsuki opened the door, she saw Xiao Xiang, pale-faced and anxious, rushing towards her and hugging her tightly.
"Nanami... did my grandfather do anything to you?"
"..."
Toyokawa Shoko was completely unaware that behind Nanami, Mikami Hatsuka's face was even paler than before, and her eyes looked like those of a puppy who had seen its beloved bone snatched away by someone else.
"Let me go, you stinky melon!"
"You...you're so heartless! I was worried about you, okay!" Toyokawa Shoko was so angry at Nanami's reaction that she gritted her teeth, but when she saw Hatsuka behind Nanami, she felt a little embarrassed. "Ah, Hatsuka, so you're here too..."
What do you mean I'm here too?!
I was the one who met you first!
"Xiao Xiang, what exactly is your relationship with Qi Hai now?"
"..." Toyokawa Shoko glanced at Nanami Natsuki, who didn't want to talk to her at all, and a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes. However, she quickly turned cold. "What relationship could I have with her? This kind of bastard with a terrible personality, I'm just afraid that if my grandfather pushes her too far, she will reveal her identity. If that happens, the Toyokawa family will be ruined by this illegitimate daughter."
"Tsk, as expected of you, blue-haired little octopus."
"How did it turn into an octopus again?!"
"Do you have a problem with that? I feel disgusted just looking at you. You even tried to take advantage of me and kill me... Just you wait, Chu Hua will pay off your debt."
Why are you still doing this?!
"What's wrong with me?"
"Didn't you promise to give Chu Hua her freedom after you agreed to the deal? Why do you have to be so repulsive to me... Don't you have any heart at all?!"
Toyokawa Shoko felt a deep pain in her heart. She clearly didn't want to argue with Nanami Natsuki, but why did she have to be slandered like this every time they met?
What did she do wrong? Why does Nanami Natsuki have to pick on her... Is it really that hard to get rid of the resentment in her heart?
"Hey, hey, hey, little blue-haired octopus, don't slander me... You know I value transactions the most, and you never said you wanted me to give Chu Hua my freedom, right? You should know very well that the condition you stated was that you could grant Chu Hua one wish free of charge."
"you……"
"Yes, yes, do you want to guess what Chu Hua's wish is?"
"Nanami?" Misaka Satsuka panicked even more, staggering back several steps before accidentally bumping into the cabinet behind her, knocking a doll off to the ground.
"Let me tell you the truth, Xiao Xiang. Chu Hua's wish... is to be my closest friends forever, never to be separated from me for life... How about that? Aren't you surprised?"
"You think Chu Hua wants to get as far away from me as possible, but actually, she seems to prefer being good friends with me to an idiot like you~"
Hehe, that's my real goal... I'm going to make all your friends my harem, until you have no one left... You know what? The person you can't let go of the most is the one I'll take away from you. That's my greatest pleasure, hahaha~"
Misaka Hatsuka swore that she really wanted to team up with Sho to pin this despicable little brat to the ground and give him a good beating, but before she could say anything in response, Nanami Natsuki had already anticipated her thoughts and spoke first:
"Xiao Xiang, I know you don't believe me, but why don't you ask Chu Hua yourself what her wish for me really is?"
"...You bastard."
"Please, you're swearing like you're being cute~"
Nanami Natsuki rolled her eyes at Xiao Xiang, who had been struggling to utter a single word, then walked to Hatsuka's side, took his hand, and said gently:
"Sister Chuhua, then tell Xiaoxiang, whom you once loved most, what exactly was the wish you made before?"
"No... I can't..." Misaka Hatsuka shook off Nanami's hand and ran straight towards Shoko's direction.
She hugged Xiao Xiang, but then she saw the somewhat unfamiliar look in the girl's eyes as she looked up at her.
Is this... a sign of doubt? Why... isn't Nanami Natsuki helping her? Why is she doing this...?
"Sister Chuhua, if you don't tell me, I can't guarantee what I'll say later. I might say something I shouldn't."
