MyGO!!! I am the succubus Xiaoxiang?

"No rush. Let's stabilize the situation at the Toyokawa family before bringing Xiangzi back."

"Then just ignore everything? Let the young lady stay outside."

"How did you become a secretary?"

"Eh?"

"She is, after all, my granddaughter, the eldest daughter of the Toyokawa family."

"That?"

“Buy her workplace, like a convenience store. This girl is stubborn; if you give her money, she'll think it's charity. You have to find a way.”

Although Toyokawa Sadaharu had never beaten his daughter or his wife, his experience was enough to overwhelm the newcomer.

"First, buy a convenience store that's open at night, install a rest area and a super loud speaker for her, and tell her to go to sleep. This speaker will definitely wake her up."

“She would definitely disagree, or she would want to cut his salary. And then, the shop owner is an old man, so you have to get the old man to say that what Xiangzi is doing is necessary, because if an old man hears this noise while he is sleeping, he might not be able to get up again.”

"Xiangzi himself would agree."

“She’ll accept it calmly, and then she won’t have to stay up all night; she can go to sleep when she’s supposed to,” Dingzhi said, watching Xiangzi’s image flickering in the convenience store video on the screen.

"If someone goes that night."

"That's why I told you to buy the two convenience stores next door, open them at night, and leave some people there to watch over them. That way, you can go to the two sides at night instead of the middle, and Xiangzi can get a good night's sleep when no one's around."

Toyokawa Sadaharu sighed. None of them could make things easy for him.

"Also, find a reason, like the convenience store needs to sell oden and requires a health certificate, and drag Xiangzi over for a medical check-up, or something else. Just treat this girl the same way you treated her mother back then."

"She wants to start a band, okay, let her start one. When she goes to perform there, we'll do an exclusive interview with them for a few days, promote her, and maybe take some photos."

"As long as it looks reasonable, that's fine. As for the rest, those bastards, humph! As long as I keep putting pressure on those bastards, they won't have time to react."

"Then, use some other identity to buy more albums, and buy more of the cakes she makes, or something like that."

"The young lady's cakes never fail to sell out," the secretary quickly replied.

"I meant 'what if'!" Toyokawa Sadaharu understood.

Why is my daughter so tired?

How can a company function properly when surrounded by these insects?!

They have no brains at all!

"In short, there is an urgent matter at hand now."

"You say?"

"Clean up some trash."

"Eh?"

"Don't let Xiangzi see it. If Xiangzi sees it while I'm tidying up, he might feel bad. If I just throw it away carelessly, Xiangzi might spend the whole night looking for it. Besides, I don't know what this troublemaker might do out there. So, tidy it up, but don't go too far, but don't go too far either!" Toyokawa Sadaharu said.

After saying that, Toyokawa Sadaharu stood up.

"Arrange a car for me."

"Ok?"

"I'll help you stall Xiangzi for time."

"..."

You can just say so if you want to see her.

The secretary sighed.

. . . . . .

"Does it really work, Chairman?"

"The chairman of Fengchuan Group is capable of anything, but he's definitely not a fool."

Was it really necessary to go this far?

"..." The old man didn't speak, but kept handing out money to the girls who came and went, talking about his own affairs.

The story of a daughter leaving and a granddaughter running away.

He seemed like a madman, and also like a fool.

just.

Those feelings of wanting to see their granddaughter and hoping she would eat well will not change because of these things.

Whether he's crazy or a fool, as long as he can see his granddaughter, that's enough.

After all, she was her granddaughter from her naive youth, her daughter who always said her father was the best, and even her last remaining bloodline in the world.

Seeing the familiar blue twin tails bouncing, I subconsciously stood in front of her and, just like when I faced other girls, stuffed the thing in my hand into her arms, only this time it was a card.

However, the girl, who was clearly thinking about something, subconsciously pushed away what someone had given her.

Stubbornly and angrily, she raised her head to look at the old man in front of her.

Her stubbornness reminded me of when I saw Mizuho working outside and couldn't stand it, so I just handed her a card.

He was also gritting his teeth as he looked at himself.

Stubborn as a donkey.

"Yes, it's so similar, that stubborn look, it's so similar."

. . . . . .

"So, you mean you want all the girls around here to have food, so that maybe your granddaughter, who's somewhere out there, can also have food?" Xiangzi asked quietly to confirm.

"Hmm." Toyokawa Sadaharu silently turned off the communication with his secretary through his earpiece, letting the other person find somewhere to laugh.

Even I, the speaker, wanted to laugh when I heard it.

Would someone like me really say something like that?

just.

I myself don't think I would say such things, or believe such things, and others certainly don't believe it either.

"Yes! I will!"

The girl in front of him spoke firmly instead.

Xiao Xiang, the way you are is really...

If those guys find out, they might just say they want their daughter to eat the cookies they made, and then you'll put them in your mouth, pass out, and be carried away.

In my position, the interests of countless people are at stake. Who gets a project, who gets funding, or even the simplest information from a chat with an official can involve hundreds of millions of dollars. In terms of interests and public sentiment, it's truly a matter of great importance.

"But, I'm sorry, I still can't accept it!"

"Why? Is it not enough? I can give you more. You can accept this money and this card!"

"No, no! It's just that I don't have the habit of accepting gifts or help from others. I'm sorry."

“My granddaughter is like that, so I hope that the person who helps her can be more patient and firmer.”

"...Your granddaughter is really troublesome and difficult!" Xiangzi said in a low voice.

Toyokawa Sadaharu looked at his granddaughter in front of him.

"Well, I'm different! I have some money of my own and I'm doing quite well, so I don't really need help. It would be better to help other people in need."

. . . . . .

Burdened with debt, and then working around the clock.

Awkwardly rejecting others from interfering too much in one's life.

You're just like your mom.

"Everyone else has accepted them, so you should too!"

"No, no, just because everyone does it doesn't mean everyone is right!"

"I've been delivering here all afternoon, and everyone has accepted it. It's so hot outside, so please accept it as a favor."

"Have you been here all afternoon?"

"Yes, there's no water or food. The master said this is to pray for his granddaughter's well-being, so we need to be devout!"

"Huh? I see."

He nodded at the girl in front of him, accepted the money, and noticed that there were only a few bills in the wallet she took out.

Watching the other person run away with their head down, as if their conscience was aching terribly.

. . . . . .

This money shouldn't be a concern for the eldest daughter of the Toyokawa family.

And now.

"Kill them!" was the order sent to the burly men on the other side.

Qinggao, do you even deserve to live?

Xiangzi had to be very careful with this little bit of money!

"Um, Grandpa."

"Huh?" Toyokawa Sadaharu, who was just about to go home, turned around.

"If you haven't eaten all afternoon and evening, shall we eat together?" Xiangzi stood beside him, holding two portions of food, looking at him.

. . . . . .

The wind brushed against the old man's face. The old man, seeing similar situations, recalled that distant afternoon, when the elf—an elf that shouldn't have appeared before someone like him—stumbled and landed beside him.

"Hmm, why is your stomach growling?"

"...I'm hungry."

"Huh? He's clearly feeding the animals."

"..."

"Really, here, let's eat together, hehehe. My parents don't allow me to buy McDonald's or anything like that, so I secretly ran away to buy it. I'll share half with you so your tummy won't get hungry."

Looking at the girl in front of him, Toyokawa Sadaharu vaguely saw the girl who had eaten chicken with him among stray dogs.

"Okay!" Toyokawa Sadaharu sat down, took the food, and began to eat in small bites.

It wasn't very tasty.

just.

It's like eating cheap fried chicken countless times.

That young lady doesn't understand anything. What's so delicious about this? The food she's eating is ten thousand times more expensive than the fried chicken in her hand, but...

Looking at the fried chicken in my hand.

The young lady next to me said that you must say "Let's eat!" when you're eating!

Why? Because when we say it like this, and there are other people around saying it too, it feels like home!

Toyokawa Sadaharu clasped his hands together.

"I'm gonna start now."

A crisp sound came from nearby.

They ate their food in small bites.

Sadaji looked at the small girl beside him who was eating like a hamster.

That looks really stupid, just like you.

You've been gone for decades now.

I'm biting into a chicken's butt and wondering why its head is so small, you idiot. I miss you so much.

. . . . . .

Finished the meal.
