As Yamada Ryo spoke, Narusawa Kaede's hand dropped down and landed on her thigh.

The girl's voice inevitably paused for a moment, then, glaring fiercely at Narusawa Kaede, Yamada Ryo continued,

"I promised to go on a date with you, you can't just pretend I don't exist. Get up. I'll share half with you."

As she spoke, she raised her finger and poked Wakaba Mutsu's head.

Ruo Yemu nodded hesitantly and sat up.

Like Yamada Ryo, he hugged Narusawa Kaede's other arm.

Mingze Feng: "Xiao Mu."

"Ok?"

Wakaba Mutsu tilted her head. Her crystal-clear eyes were still glistening with tears from the nightmare she had just experienced.

It was as if the corners of her eyes were sparkling.

Naruzawa Kaede moved her hand slightly, but didn't pull it out. Meanwhile, Yamada Ryo was holding her very tightly.

Although he didn't want Mingze Feng to wipe it, a handkerchief was extended towards him.

"Aren't you going to wipe it? Then I'll take it back."

【…】

"Ah."

Ruoye Muku gave a soft "hmm".

Under Mingze Feng's expectant gaze.

She took Yamada Ryo's handkerchief.

Yamada Ryo raised his head higher, like a victorious peacock.

"Mu, how did you sleep just now?"

"...My neck...sores."

"Are you hungry?"

"...No...lean against me."

As Ruoye Mutsu spoke, she tilted her head back as if to ease the soreness she was feeling, then turned her head and rested it on Mingze Feng's shoulder.

[It's so quiet and comfortable...]

Sometimes, even Naruzawa Kaede couldn't tell the distance between himself and Wakaba Mutsu. It wasn't just because Naruzawa Kaede was constantly falling for her, but also because Wakaba Mutsu's attitude towards him was sometimes hot and sometimes cold.

Maybe I was too tired in Mujica, so I wanted to come here to relax.

As for where this heavy trust comes from...

Mingze Feng didn't know either.

But in situations like this, he can still offer the girl a shoulder to lean on.

"Rest assured and rest for a while. I'll wake you up when we get there."

"Um......"

When Yamada Ryo noticed that Narusawa Kaede and Wakaba Mutsu were whispering to each other, she pouted.

Her hand gently stroked Mingze Feng's waist, but seeing Ruoye Mu's sparkling eyes, she ultimately decided not to disturb him.

But...

Yamada Ryo looked at Narusawa Kaede with a complicated expression.

We did both practice and rehearsals.

What's the point of going to that other live show...?

"Wouldn't it be too abrupt to go through this..."

What's the point?

......

The stars are shining, and the store is open again at 5:30 pm.

Looking at the vibrant and radiant Ijichi Nijika beside her, Ijichi Hoshika felt a headache coming on.

I'm a little regretful.

It felt really good to punch Chao Mingze in the stomach last night. It's a pity I didn't punch her more than a couple more times because she was drunk and forgot.

And then there's the matter of promising Mingze Feng to meet him tomorrow... ah, I mean today.

I have absolutely no idea when he will arrive.

Eighty percent of the time... the scumbag will bring his girlfriend along.

Let's get back together.

This kind of thing is so absurd that it can be broadcast on NHK, and so magical that it can be written into a novel by Gabriel García Márquez.

Just thinking about it makes your scalp tingle.

If you bring up this kind of thing in front of Hongxia.

Just thinking about it made Ichiji Hoshika feel suffocated, and she even considered digging another basement out of the basement beneath this one.

So annoying, so annoying, so annoying...

Ijichi Hoshika scratched her golden retriever and slumped onto the sofa behind the front desk.

Inside the shop, Ichiji Nijika was busy running around. She wasn't usually one to sit still; it was just that having an older sister like that forced her to be diligent.

Cleaning, mopping, inventorying beverage dispensers, wiping cups, adjusting the sound system, etc.

"Hey, this guitar, didn't you put it back here before?"

"..." How can I get Hongxia to go home obediently...?

"Sis!" Ijichi Nijika shouted, turning her head. "A band performed last night, didn't they put the equipment back in?"

"No--"

Others might not know, but how could Ichishige not know?

Last night, not only did no band come, the shop wasn't even open. Instead, two uninvited guests showed up, trying to seduce people physically and emotionally.

Ah, why don't we have someone like Kikusato Hiroi, who can forget everything when she's drunk?

Tonight, Mingze Feng is coming...

If Naruzawa Kaede is coming, it will be at night again. The things we didn't finish last time, we should do now...

Ichi Seika lay on the sofa, burying her face in her arms, her eyes darting around.

My brain is about to explode...

"That sister,"

Ijichi Nijika suddenly appeared, startling Ijichi Seika.

Ichi Nijika: "Did you take this guitar—wait, sis? Your face is so red... Ouch! It's so hot, sis, do you have a fever?"

No, it was burned...

"I'll go get your medicine!"

"Don't."

Ichika grabbed Nijika's wrist. She knew whether Nijika was alright or not.

"Go check the power supply first. My face is just red from being covered up; it'll go down in a bit."

Ichiji Nijika hesitated for a moment, looking at her older sister who seemed a bit off. After giving her a few instructions and saying that she would come back to check later, she ran to the backstage to check the power supply of various devices.

Ichi Seika stroked her chin.

The most urgent thing is to get Hongxia home. Hmm, I left my things at home, that's not too important. The gas wasn't turned off... but Hongxia controls the gas in the house.

After thinking it over, Ichiji Hoshika still couldn't figure out how to deal with her younger sister.

Ichika Hoshika didn't realize that she could have easily contacted Narusawa Kaede and come back another day. Perhaps subconsciously, she was also hoping something would happen.

As for whether or not something will happen... whether it will happen, and what will happen, is not up to Naruzawa Kaede to decide.

"what can we do about it..."

As Ichi Seika tapped on her Shar Pei suit, lost in thought, a tapping sound echoed in the room.

"Sister!" Ichiji Nijika popped up again.

With her signature, cheerful smile and lovely, light pink cheeks.

Ichi Seika nodded; her younger sister was truly adorable.

"Look who I've run into!"

Ichi Nijika opened her arms, indicating that she was beside herself.

With a listless and dejected look in her eyes, Ijichi Seika looked in the direction that Ijichi Nijika was pointing.

The first girl had light green hair, delicate features, and looked vaguely familiar; she was carrying a guitar bag...

Second place... uh, Yamada Ryo?

Holy crap, isn't that the one over there...?

The moment she saw Narusawa Kaede, Iji Tomoko's eyes widened in shock, and she instinctively gasped.

The cold air traveled up my spine like a rolling knife, tearing through my flesh and bone.

It felt like falling into an icy abyss.

Ijichi Hoshika felt a chill run down her spine—no, her system completely crashed.

Sigh, at this point, wouldn't it be a good time to introduce them to each other again...? No way, that's impossible.

In the depths of Ichiji Hoshika's heart, a little person howled and pounded the ground.

"Sister Xingge~"

It was Naruzawa Kaede who raised his hand to greet her first, and only then did Ichiji Hoshika react.

Ichiko Hoshika hummed in agreement.

Then... what should I do next?

Subconsciously, Ichiji Hoshika rushed to Narumawa Kaede for help.

Naruzawa Kaede winked at her, but Ichiji Hoshika was clearly still reeling from the system crash and couldn't react.

So... I've been thinking about how to introduce him to my sister since last year, and I still haven't figured it out. And judging from Ijichi Hoshika's expression, just saying it directly definitely won't work.

We still need to keep it from Hongxia this once.

"Sister Xingge, I haven't been back for a long time, but there's no need to be so surprised."

Mingze Feng took over the conversation and singled out his experience working at Fanxing.

Of course, this isn't just idle talk; after all, working mornings and evenings, giving massages to the shop owner, and unclogging drains are all part of the job.

Hongxia looked very surprised.

"Huh?! Feng, you've been here before..."

"Ah, I used to work at the store before the New Year. Thanks to Manager Xingge for giving me a place to stay, otherwise I would have been homeless. So this place is like home to me."

"Ah, you should have told me, the part-time job thing isn't..."

Seeing that Ijichi Nijika and Narusawa Kaede were chatting, Ijichi Seika forced a smile onto her face.

"You met him at the entrance?" "Yes."

Ichi Hoshika looked at her younger sister, and when she saw her nod, everything went black.

Every sister can snag her brother-in-law just by going out.

"Sister, my classmate and I are going to the back now. You can take care of the front."

"Um......"
