"Huh? Is it okay, Grandma?" Anhe Mao was caught off guard; this was a little different from what she had expected.

"Well, it's because one of my juniors, whom I admire, is also in a band." Anwa Tendo's gaze was fixed on Momoi Taro.

Momoi Taro remained expressionless and silent, but An and Subaru still kept their gazes fixed on him.

"Taro-kun, I've come to see you today because I hope you can be the director of photography for the upcoming 'Detective Granny's Case Files'."

"Huh? Mr. Momoi can do this too?" Nina seemed quite nervous.

"His leading work was 'The Detective Granny's Casebook - The Murder on the Float'."

"Huh? Is that cameraman who didn't go on stage to accept the award Mr. Momoi?" Nina seemed even more surprised.

Taro nodded slightly, acknowledging the matter, and then asked, "I see. Is this what you want from me?"

"Yes, what do you think?" Anhe Tiantong asked again, unhurriedly.

"Needless to say, the answer is very simple." Taro nodded slightly and said decisively, "I refuse!"

He refused?! This man refused Grandma. An and Subaru were even more curious about Momoi Taro now.

"Just having to look after my servants is enough of a headache for me; I simply don't have time to make movies!"

Taro crossed his arms, leaned back in his chair, and confidently raised his head, giving An and Subaru a feeling of looking down on him.

"Is that so?" An and Tiantong's expressions didn't change much; they just smiled faintly.

“Speaking of my attendants,” Taro said calmly, looking at Anwa Tendo, “they seem to be your fans. Knowing they were coming to see you today, they asked me to get your autograph.”

“Of course, no problem.” Anwa Tendo smiled gently and took out a notebook and a pen from the obi (sash) of his kimono.

Then she asked Taro the names of his teammates, left autographs for them, and handed the autographed names back to Taro.

Taro took it, looked at her signature, and didn't seem to find anything special...?

Why do people want this kind of thing? Taro didn't understand; he simply put the autograph away.

"Then, could you teach my granddaughter some skills?" Anhe Tiantong asked with a smile.

"She's about to start filming 'The Case Files of the Detective Granny.' This is our first time co-starring on screen, and I hope the filming can be as perfect as possible if possible."

"Wait! Grandma!" An and Subaru's eyes widened slightly. "I've never heard of this."

"Now you can hear it, can't you?" Anhe Tiantong closed his eyes, took a sip of tea, and calmly put it down.

"Also, I hope you can take a still for the latest episode of 'The Case Files of the Detective Granny'."

Momoi Taro listened silently to Anwa Tendo's request, raised his head, and agreed, "I understand. I can grant you this request."

"Then, I'll leave this entirely to you." Anwa Tendo easily changed the subject, then turned his gaze to Nina and said softly and gently:

"Young lady, could you accompany this old man for a short walk? I'd like to learn more about my granddaughter's band."

"Hehe..." Renna chuckled dryly, forcing out a single sentence from her throat: "No."

Anhe Tiantong's eyebrows twitched involuntarily.

"Oh ho ho... Nina-chan might not have quite understood what Grandma meant."

She reached under the table and frantically typed, "Say yes, you idiot!"

Nina felt a rustling in her skirt pocket, secretly pulled out her phone to glance at it, and saw An and Subaru's message. She quickly typed a reply:

"Why do I have to think about what I need to say to you too! It's too cunning for me to be out there all alone."

"Nina still wants to form a band, right? Then you'd better behave yourself, or Grandma will get angry."

"Subaru's grandma looks very gentle."

"Don't be fooled by her appearance; she's a typical Kyoto local!"

The two people stared straight ahead, glancing down every now and then, their fingers clicking rapidly across the screen.

“We shouldn’t be using cell phones to chat, right?” A dangerous glint flashed in Anhe Tiantong’s eyes.

"Haha..." The two of them chuckled awkwardly, while Momoi Taro remained calm and composed, seemingly oblivious to everything.

In the end, Nina gave in. Before leaving with Nina, An and Tendo told Taro about the filming location and suggested that they scout out the area and take some promotional photos if possible.

After that, An and Tendo left with Nina.

Nina was waiting for Anwa Tendo to ask her questions, but Anwa Tendo didn't ask her any questions. Instead, he leisurely led Nina on a slow walk through the streets of Tokyo.

After holding it in for so long, Nina finally couldn't take it anymore and blurted out, "Um... Anwa-san...?"

“You’re Subaru’s friend, so it’s fine if you don’t mind calling me Grandma.” Anwa Tendo was dressed in a proper kimono, maintaining her composure at all times.

"...You don't seem to care that much about the band?"

"Well, I don't really care." Anwa Tendo's tone didn't show any particular emotion, but it didn't hide her arrogance at all.

"Good tea can't be brewed in Tokyo's water. The band is just a child's whims. I've paved a wide enough road for her to be whimsical."

"Then, what will you do if Subaru really likes the band?" For some reason, Nina felt very uncomfortable with Anwa and Tendo's arrogance.

"Then I have no choice but to give up." Anwa Tendo's tone was so calm that Nina felt somewhat at a loss.

Seeing Nina's slightly surprised expression, Anwa Tendo smiled calmly: "Subaru's name is my signature work."

“My daughter really dislikes my job. She says she never sees me at home, that I’m glamorous outside but don’t care about anything at home.”

Her voice carried a hint of reminiscence and a touch of excitement: "So, I was really happy when Subaru said he liked my job."

"Only that child is happy for me, only she is willing to accept my work and walk the path I have walked. I am truly grateful to her."

"But if being in a band is what she truly loves, I hope she can continue doing it to the fullest."

“I won’t let that child force herself to follow my path,” she said, turning to look at Rencai with a smile. “Does that put you at ease?”

"Hmm... wait a minute?" Nina seemed to have noticed a small oversight: "If you're not interested in the band, why did you drag me into this?"

Upon hearing Nina's question, Anwa and Tendo revealed a mysterious smile:

"Of course, my granddaughter is of marriageable age, and if possible, I would like to find her an excellent partner."

"Marriageable age...? Partner...?" Nina's face flushed crimson as she frantically flared her arms, stammering, "Wait, wait—?"

"Girls who are in bands are very popular with the band guys."

“From the very beginning, I didn’t think he would accept the position of director of photography.” Anwa Tendo’s smile carried a hint of mischief in Nina’s eyes: “All I can do is give the two of them a chance to be alone.”

"Taro is someone who values ​​fate, but all I can do is give them a gentle push from behind."

"Anhe-sensei? And Nina?" A slightly puzzled voice came from behind them, and the two turned around to look behind them.

She was a tall, stylishly dressed girl with purple hair. She took off her sunglasses and greeted us, "Hello~"

"Ruomai?" Rencai exclaimed softly.

Why is Ruomai here? Well, we have to go back to this morning after the band practice ended.

After practice, Aine realized she wouldn't be able to hang out with Taro, so she invited herself to go to karaoke.

"I'm sorry, Ai-yin~" Ruo-mai said apologetically to Ai-yin with her hands clasped together, "I suddenly had something to do, you should go find someone else."

Aine had no choice but to invite Hailing instead. After everyone left, Ruomai's lips curled into a sly smile.

"Hmph~ Little Aine, have fun as much as you want. It's best if you have fun. I'll take care of Taro."

That's right, Ruomai is planning to raid Taro's base. As for how to find out Taro's location, it's very simple, just check Twitter.

Although Momoi Taro isn't famous enough right now, Anwa Tendo is. Knowing that she might come to Tokyo makes things much easier.

So, she specifically tracked down An and Tendo's location via Twitter, which took a little time.

After filtering out the outdated information, she discovered that Momoi Taro was not with An and Tendo.

She could only silently follow Anwa and Tendo, hoping to get news of Momoi Taro.

Unexpectedly, she soon received news of Momoi Taro.

But... can someone explain to her what it means that "her granddaughter is of marriageable age, and if possible, I still hope to find her an excellent partner."

The person she's talking about, could it be...? No, he seems very dangerous. We need to think of a way to deal with him.

So she resolutely took a detour and pretended to bump into him head-on, which led to the scene just now.

"You are...?" Anhe Tiantong's eyes narrowed slightly.

“Ah, let me introduce myself.” Just as Nina began to speak, Wakame interjected, “No, let me introduce myself.”

"Hey everyone, I'm Yutenji Wakana, the drummer for the Dong Brothers group. I'm currently attending an arts school, and I had the pleasure of attending your class before. Nice to meet you."

Yutenji Wakana bowed very seriously, and Anwa Tendo said calmly, "I see. You can definitely become a good actor."

This wasn't just polite talk; Ruomai's demeanor was perfect—her posture and bowing were both very appropriate.

"A decent actor, huh..." Ruomai chuckled to herself inwardly. Then she became more determined: she didn't just want to be a decent actor.

However, now is not the time to worry about these things; there are more important things to do.

Ruomai glanced curiously at Anwa Tendo's side and asked, "By the way, my general said he wanted to meet with Anwa-sensei, right?"

She peeked her head out slightly and looked around: "Excuse me, where is my general? I would be very happy to tell you if you could."

"The band members have such a good relationship," An and Tendo remarked. For some reason, Nina felt that the two of them were speaking with a barbed tone.

"Of course~ The Dong Brothers are a band with a very strong bond. No matter what happens, they will never separate." Ruomai showed a very obvious fake smile.

With her abilities, if she were to give a genuine smile, she could make anyone believe it was genuine, regardless of whether she was truly sincere.

Ah. Except for Momoi Taro. Well, of course, she doesn't need acting skills to put on a genuine smile in front of Momoi Taro. She's confident in that.

"What a coincidence, I don't know where Taro-kun and Subaru are now either." Anwa Tendo's smile remained impeccable, while Wakame raised an eyebrow slightly and turned her gaze to Nina.

Rencai waved her hands repeatedly and covered her mouth, indicating that she knew nothing.

Although Anwa and Tendo acted very approachable, she couldn't forget the intense pressure she felt when they first met, and besides, she genuinely didn't know where Momoi Taro was.

"No, fellow villager, can you give me a little push?" Ruomai tried her best to maintain her smile, then said with a smile, "Oh, thank you, Teacher Anhe. I'll pay you a proper visit another day."

"You're welcome. Since you've called me teacher, I have an obligation to teach you."

Anhe Tiantong's smile seemed harmless, but it made Ruomai feel resentful.
