MyGO!!! I am the succubus Xiaoxiang?

and so.

Cake.

I sneaked a little bite.

Xiangzi would add mango, and lots and lots of other things, whatever he liked or wanted to eat.

In Mu's imagination, it's already a giant mango on top of a small cake.

Even though I know it's impossible, I still can't help but fantasize.

It's precisely because we've never tasted it that we fantasize about it.

Because I was standing to the side, listening to other people chatting with their friends, and they mentioned the people around me.

Cake, roses, and spices are a girl's dream.

So, what flavor of cake do people like?

Mumu wants to eat cake.

I walked to the door with anticipation and looked up.

The luxury car parked at the school gate saw Ruoye Mutsu coming out and slowly lowered her window.

Ms. Minami Mori, Wakaba Mutsumi's mother, slowly emerged from behind the car window, looking at Wakaba Mutsumi in front of her.

When Ruoye Mu saw someone she didn't want to see, and looked at her mother, she suddenly froze.

"What were you doing at school? Do you know how long I've been waiting for you?"

"Get on the bus quickly, there's a Takarazuka Revue performance today!"

"Do you know how much effort I put into getting you the tickets?"

"You must repay your mother well in the future!"

. . . . . .

Is that mango pudding on top?

"Can we add fruit? Can we add cucumber?"

"is it not OK?"

"Why add these things? Hey, adding these is like adding canned herring and strawberry juice to pizza, it's just too much. Can't you put strawberry juice in pizza?"

"Hey, don't tell anyone. If you're making it yourself, just add it secretly?"

"Okay! For the topping of cucumber, mango, and mango pudding, and for the middle, can we add more mango?"

"Can't I? I want a different flavor, how about strawberry chocolate?"

"Okay, if you want to eat, come on!"

"I want to eat it! I really want to eat it!"

"Okay, I really want to eat the cake that Shoko made. I said I want to eat it."

"Hey, am I not shy? Didn't Xiangzi tell me to say it? He said he wouldn't let me eat if I didn't. I want to eat!"

"Okay, I'm leaving the school."

And the last one.

"Xiangzi, I want to eat cake."

What followed was a very formulaic refusal.

"Sorry, I'm going to see a stage play today. After the play, I'll go home."

"My mother has come to pick me up."

"Cake, high in calories, I don't want to eat it."

Xiangzi looked at the messages on his phone.

Ah, could it be that I possess some kind of magic weapon against Mutsu?

I could tell from Xiao Mu's expression that she was lying.

Now you can see the news too.

I won't go into details earlier.

After seeing my mother, the cake suddenly becomes a high-calorie treat.

Xiao Mu, your logic is seriously flawed!

Eat what you want! It's no big deal, huh!

Xiangzi asked the old woman standing nearby for the answer.

"Grandma Shopkeeper, how long will the stage play last?"

"One and a half to two hours? That's how it was when I watched it before."

"Oh." Xiangzi bit his lip; enough time had passed.

"What's wrong?" the mother-in-law asked, looking over.

"It's nothing, Xiao Mu said she's looking forward to my cake!" Xiangzi smiled.

As for what Xiao Mu just said.

Ha, I won't listen!

Just pretend you didn't receive it.

"Then hurry up and make it! Also, if you don't have cake, you can add pickled vegetables, dumplings, or fried dough sticks!!"

Why can't we innovate?

"This is not innovation!!! On the contrary, I can accept adding cucumber as your friend suggested, but adding pickled vegetables, dumplings, and fried dough sticks? Who taught you that? Don't tell anyone I taught you, or I'll get beaten up by other bakers! My reputation is ruined."

"Then should I add cucumber?" Xiangzi asked.

"Okay, okay, but don't add pickled vegetables!" The shopkeeper looked at Xiangzi and finally nodded through gritted teeth.

At least they didn't add pickled mustard greens! At least they upheld the bottom line!

Hey! Isn't this a bit too much?!

"it is good."

"Hiss, I feel like I've been tricked?" The mother-in-law was a little slow to realize.

"Hey, can I add pickled mustard greens?" Xiangzi asked.

"no!!"

"That's outrageous! That's why there's no way to innovate!!"

"If you mention pickled mustard tuber again, I'll fire you."

“I also think pickled mustard tuber is heresy, Grandma is right!!” Xiangzi quickly agreed with the shop manager.

Then Xiangzi stuck out his tongue and tried to make a cake like the shop manager.

And placed on the phone to the side.

The search results for Wakaba Mutsu are displayed.

Her father, Takafumi Wakaba, is a popular comedian, and her mother, Minami Mori, is a well-known actress.

I live at XXXXXXX

Even celebrities' home addresses can be found in boxes? This is terrifying.

If I ever really want to become an entertainer, I must wear a mask to prevent being exposed.

Xiangzi was acutely aware of the intimidating power of neon lights.

. . . . . .

In the theater.

Wakaba Mutsu looked at the stage play above.

Actually, Wakaba Mutsu doesn't like stage plays.

He also doesn't like performing.

but.

"Watch closely and learn from her. Did you see how she performed? She's a rising star that everyone praises. You should learn from her a lot in the future. When will you be able to be like her and not worry me?"

Minami Mori turned to look at Mutsu Wakaba.

"Do you know how many people and masters your mother went to to get you a ticket? Do you know who the actors' teachers are?"

"It is Heiji Seia, an active male role performer of the Takarazuka Revue."

"So many people want to see her perform but can't."

"Mom even postponed her work so that she could take you to see this stage play. Mom has been busy all day without even sitting down. In the morning, she went to work on an advertising collaboration, and in the afternoon, she had to visit and collaborate with other masters. Mom even turned down the opportunity to visit your father's teacher with your father. Do you know how much Mom has sacrificed for you?"

"You must study and watch carefully!"

"Mom has no grand ambitions in this life. All I hope for now is that you can make something of yourself and accomplish what Mom couldn't do."

Don't let your mother down!

"......Muku, I understand." Wakaba Muku lowered her eyes.

"You'll know what Mom has done for you later, and you'll thank Mom for everything she's done for you."

"The things you have now, your mother couldn't have even if she wanted them before, sigh!"

"Hey, life's better now, and you're living comfortably, but I don't know how much suffering I went through back then, all for the sake of success! Don't let me down!!"

"Hmm." Wakaba Mutsu recorded the performance like a machine.

in fact.

Those above don't have the ability to perform themselves.

Because I could tell they were putting on a show.

However, the character that everyone loves, Mutsumi Wakaba, is the one he has always been playing.

Want to be human.

To become, to be, a human being who belongs to oneself.

as time flows.

The stage play has finally come to an end.

Ruo Yemu withdrew her gaze.

“Let’s go, Mu, let’s go visit Mr. Yongjiu Huishengya,” Ms. Senmei suddenly said.

"Hmm?" Wakaba Mutsu looked at her mother in confusion.

If you visit someone you don't know, even if it's arranged by your mother, why couldn't you have told her beforehand?

"Go and chat with Yongjiu Huishengya's students, then build a relationship, and then meet Mr. Yongjiu Huishengya to leave a good impression on him."

"But I..." I don't know the other person.

"You're all just kids, you'll get to know each other after a chat, right? Besides, do you know how good it is for your future to receive guidance from Yongjiu Huishengya? If you get praised, when you become an actor or a stage play member, everyone will say that you are someone Yongjiu Huishengya has high hopes for, which will accelerate your progress a lot!"

Do you know how much your mother has thought about you? Do you know how much your mother has considered for you?

"Even if you don't think about yourself, just think about your mother. If you know Mr. Yongzhi Huishengya's students, then your mother can take the opportunity to visit Yongzhi Huishengya and get to know him better, right?"

"You'll understand later that Mom did this for your own good!"

“Really.” Ms. Senmi shook her head.

"How hard is it for a child to make friends? Back in our day, making friends was so easy. Besides, we didn't even have the chance to meet such important people back then!"

. . . . . .

Ruoye Mu lowered her head.

They strode towards the backstage area.
