In Zongman, the evil spirits are eliminated physically.

But Ruby was not as fragile as her brother imagined. She quickly gathered herself together and poked her cheeks, saying, "It's me, it's me, I'm Hoshino Ruby!"

"Yeah, I'm Tang Keke, an international student from the mainland. I came to the island country to become a school idol."

"No, I'm an idol, Ruby Hoshino from B Komachi!"

"I'm Tang Keke from the school idol, Liella!!"

"Ah! I surrender."

Ruby raised her head in despair.

"Sister Ruby, are you a super awesome idol? I, I seem to have vaguely heard of your name!"

Coco tries to cheer Ruby up.

Ruby just turned her head silently and looked at Coco who was pursing her lips and trying hard to encourage herself. An aggrieved expression flashed across her face. Then she stretched out her hands, pinched Coco's soft and elastic cheeks, and began to pull.

"Tang Keke, your way of comforting people is lame. I was already feeling extremely upset, and you actually added insult to injury."

"Ah~ Cossi~ Cossi herself, Nanase Nezuma, isn't it Ichiro that idols have to taste?"

Coco's words were unclear.

"Then as compensation for hurting me, Coco-san, please push me."

"Eh? Absolutely not."

Coco refused without hesitation, patting her chest vigorously. Her eyes were determined as if she was going to join some great organization. Coco said: "I will always be a single-player μ's supporter for the rest of my life."

"μ"s" Now it was Ruby's turn to have a look of confusion on her face. She felt that the name sounded vaguely familiar.

"It's that idol group I heard about when I was in elementary school."

"That's right, this is the greatest school idol group in the entire island nation, oh no, the entire world!"

"Haven't they disbanded years ago? Apparently it's because the third graders graduated. That's the thing about school idols, they're unstable. Just like clubs like the brass band, every year a bunch of people leave, making it hard to maintain the original group."

"μ's has not disbanded! μ's is always here! In the hearts of all our fans!"

"But haven't they been active for a long time? Well, if you calculate the time, the first-year members are now in college. Aren't there no high school girls who are the foundation of school idols anymore?"

Although school idols are indeed not as good as official idols, with the expansion of the event and the participation of more and more people and companies over the years, the value and reputation of the LOVELIVE competition have been increasing. Even Ruby's agency has studied school idols. When Aqua was studying, Ruby went to listen and learned a little bit.

Ruby's words really had a great effect. As soon as she said it, Coco calmed down. The expression on her face and the aggrieved look in her eyes were exactly the same as when Ruby was not recognized by Coco. Since the expressions were the same, it was normal for the behaviors and actions to be the same.

Coco did just like Ruby had done, reaching out with both hands and grabbing Ruby's cheeks, kneading and pulling them.

"Ruby-nee, you idiot! μ's μ's won't disband! Stupid Ruby-nee!"

"Hey~ Hey~ Stop it~ The face is the lifeblood of an idol~"

Looking at Coco and Ruby who were playing together after knowing each other for five minutes, Ouyang Jun just glanced at Ruby silently, then turned back to drink tea and wait for the ramen to be served. Chloe, who was sitting next to Ouyang Jun, naturally saw Ouyang Jun's expression and was also curious about Ruby.

When they went to Kyoto, Chloe had not yet come to Ouyang Xuan's house, so naturally she didn't know what happened at that time. When Kaguya recounted what happened during that period, she focused on how she and Ouyang Xuan expressed their love to each other and how the lovers finally got married. The little episode between Ruby and Ai was naturally ignored, so Chloe only knew that Ruby was Ai's daughter.

"Even though I have lost all my memories, I still fell in love with her at first sight. Is this the legendary mother-daughter bond?"

"Ghosts, dead souls, zombies, and evil spirits are more likely to be attracted to their own blood relatives. I don't know why, but usually they are attracted by wanting to eat them, but when it comes to love, it turns into liking and pushing them."

"Yeah, I know. This is the bond between mother and daughter."

Chloe is very attached to the term bond between mother and daughter.

The cheek-pinching between Ruby and Coco was stopped because Mitsuri came with four bowls of ramen. Ruby was stunned. At first glance, Ruby thought the bowl was empty until she picked up the vegetable ramen in front of her and weighed it.

"Hmm Don~ Mitsuri-san's ramen is always delicious no matter when you eat it."

When it comes to eating, Coco doesn't have an elegant and cute image. She just uses two chopsticks to pick up the noodles at full speed, which is in sharp contrast to Ruby who always maintains the elegant image of an idol. Compared with Coco who directly picks up the noodles from the bowl and puts them into her mouth, Ruby puts the ramen into the spoon first and then eats it. Although it is a bit slow, it is very elegant and beautiful, and it does not ruin the makeup on her face. This is because if she suddenly needs to reshoot the shots, she can go back immediately.

"Brother, there are shrimps in your noodles, give me a bite."

Although Coco's tone was inquiring, her movements were very quick. She picked up a shrimp and ate it in a flash with her chopsticks.

"Big brother, my shrimps are for you to eat. Bad Coco stole your shrimps. Chloe only feels sorry for you and gives you delicious shrimps."

Watching the shrimps that were taken away from the bowl by Coco and then quickly filled with food by Chloe, Ouyang Xuan looked at Coco silently. Facing his brother's puzzled eyes, Coco moved the ramen away as if protecting his food, and looked at Ouyang Xuan fiercely, like a Chinchilla kitten.

"Brother, please don't steal my noodles. I don't even have enough to eat myself."

"Big brother, if you don't have enough to eat, you can eat mine. Chloe can give it to big brother."

Chloe pushed her noodles in front of Ouyang Xuan. She didn't need to eat anyway.

Look at Chloe and then look at Coco, they are both positioned as younger sisters, why is there such a big gap?

"Don't get fat."

"I won't, brother, don't look at me like this, I'm the type that won't gain weight no matter how much I eat."

Coco slapped her chest vigorously. "After I came to the island country, I've been facing my sister-in-law's super delicious dishes every day, and my weight hasn't increased at all. Don't look at me eating a lot, I also train a lot. I even train to the point of being on the verge of death every time."

That's because your foundation is too weak, you can't just run a few more laps.

Ouyang Jun just watched silently without saying anything. It was precisely because Ouyang Jun did not say anything that Ruby on the side looked at Coco's small body with surprise. She knew that Coco's training would be very hard because the performance on the stage could not deceive people, but she never thought that Coco would be so hardworking and would train herself to the brink of death every time.

"Indeed, if the training volume is too heavy, you need to eat more."

Ruby picked up a piece of okra, which she disliked the most, and put it in Coco's bowl. "But you can't just eat meat, you have to eat more vegetables too."

"I don't eat okra, Ruby, you can take it back."

"I won't eat it either. I'll give it to you."

Faced with the okra, which neither of them liked to eat, Coco and Ruby both started to be polite, and the two pairs of chopsticks were about to fly in the air. Mitsuri next to them was about to cry. The delicious dish she had worked so hard to make was actually hated by Coco and Ruby.

Seeing his wife about to cry, Xiao Banei could only look for help at Ouyang Xuan, who seemed to be able to control the situation. In the end, Ouyang Xuan successfully stopped the idol dispute between Coco and Ruby, and he picked up the okra and ate it.

"You can actually eat the devil's vegetables. You are worthy of being my brother."

Coco said with a serious face.

“This is okra.”

"Oh, sir, I'm sorry to bother you."

Ruby apologized.

"It's just picky eating, not really a problem."

Ouyang Jun shook his head. He was not surprised that Ruby didn't like okra. If she liked it, she shouldn't eat it. She even said that she would die if she ate okra.

"that!"

Ruby mustered up her courage, "Sir, have we met before?"

"I've seen it."

Ouyang Xuan's frankness made Chloe stunned.

I am a Taoist priest, she is a heroic spirit, and your mother is being raised in our home...

No, no, this is a noodle shop in Hokkaido, not the walls of Maria. Seriously, I've been a little carried away by watching cartoons with Rongrong and Xiaobai recently.

Chloe shook her head vigorously, trying to get rid of the messy thoughts from her head.

"Then can you tell me the details of our meeting?"

Ruby blurted out subconsciously, and as soon as she said it, she felt that she had said the wrong thing.

"I have a friend who is a fan of your group. I've accompanied her to your handshake events a few times before."

"friend……"

"Yeah, a friend of yours, B Komachi, who really likes you."

A good lie is often not entirely false, but will contain some truth. What Ouyang Sun said to Ruby was not a complete lie. He did accompany Rongrong and Ai to B Komachi's handshake event several times. Ouyang Sun definitely did not lie about this.

"I think we should meet at a time that is even more soul-stirring. Especially when I'm talking to you, that feeling, that feeling becomes even more obvious and intense!"

Ruby anxiously tried to describe the vague impression in her mind, but her head started to hurt again when she forced herself to recall Kyoto. Ruby just held her head and continued to speak through gritted teeth.

"I can't remember when or what happened. I, I just remember that when I met you, it was a very important matter. I, I was very unwilling at that time. I met, I met a very, very, very important person, and you were right next to her!"

"Who is it? The one with purple hair... Mom! Yes, I saw Mom in Kyoto! Mom protected me! At that time, yes, when the Kyoto performance venue collapsed, I, I was about to die, and it was Mom who saved me. You, sir, you are by Mom's side. Do you know where my Mom is? Please, tell me how I can see my Mom, please."

Her head felt like it was stuffed with a nuclear bomb, but Ruby, who was just an ordinary person, relied on her love for her mother and used her willpower to smash a hole in the spell of the Hakurei Shrine. The memories that should have been erased gradually became clearer.

"Please...you...tell me..."

Coco, who was sandwiched between Ruby and Ouyang Xuan, had been pushed away. Coco, who was completely unable to adapt to the storm, just stared blankly at Ruby's body lying limp on the ground, clutching Ouyang Xuan's clothes tightly and begging for something. Her delicate cheeks were pale with pain, but her eyes were more resolute than ever before.

Ruby's willpower ended here. Before Ouyang Xuan could answer her, Ruby's body softened and she fell to the ground. Tears welled up in her eyes, but her tightly closed eyelids prevented them from flowing out.

"Ah!! The ramen in this restaurant is so delicious that it can kill you!" Someone screamed after Ruby fell down.
