After Xiangzi died, I inherited her harem.

Shoko Toyokawa and Mutsuka Wakaba have a visibly good relationship with Yuu Toyokawa; the former is related to Yuu, while the latter is essentially the other half of the former.

Thinking about it this way, the bond between Toyokawa Yuu and Wakaba Mutsumi might be deeper than they realize, even if they lived together...

Okay, maybe it was a bit too intimate, but even so, they probably didn't have any intention of interfering.

"My sworn brother..."

Muttering about the relationship between Toyokawa Yuu and Toyokawa Shoko, Nagasaki Sōse's deep blue eyes grew increasingly worried.

It was precisely because of this relationship that she was even more worried.

"Lixi, you really don't know. Maybe Hanasakikawa doesn't teach this kind of thing, but as a high-class academy, Tsukinomori does have this kind of family genealogy course."

Sighing, Nagasaki Sosei thought Shiina Tatsuki would understand her thoughts, but she didn't expect that Shiina Tatsuki actually only had a vague understanding of the relationship between Toyokawa Shoko and Toyokawa Yuu.

"When Mr. Yuu introduced himself, the term 'ideo-nii-san' didn't just mean an adopted son in a family, but rather a son-in-law adopted son. In other words..."

Looking up, Nagasaki Sase saw Shiina Tatsuki's somewhat surprised eyes and felt compelled to give her a lesson in this situation.

“Mr. Youyu is not actually Xiaoxiang’s older brother. His real identity is Xiaoxiang’s fiancé. Under these circumstances, if he were to live with Xiaomu now, do you really think it would be appropriate?”

Not... fiancé?

Startled by this sudden piece of knowledge, Shiina Tatsuki opened her mouth and took a while to recover.

"If that's really the case, then we should tell Xiangzi about it."

After thinking for a moment, Shiina Tatsuki shared her thoughts.

I was almost swayed by Nagasaki Sase's information, which was a bit too shocking for an ordinary high school student, but if Toyokawa Yuu's identity is really as she says, that she is Toyokawa Shoko's fiancé.

Therefore, from both a moral and logical standpoint, the best option is to tell Toyokawa Shoko about this and let her handle it.

"But this is just speculation. Going to Xiao Xiang to complain before it's confirmed might sow discord between her and Mr. Youyu."

Nagasaki Sase's ten pale fingers were almost completely tangled together.

"That's why I wanted to confirm it myself... I won't confront Mr. Youyu directly because of this. I just plan to quietly knock on his door when he's not home. If no one answers, then everything will be fine, and everyone can pretend this speculation never happened. But if Xiaomu is really there..."

Nagasaki Sase paused, then his intertwined fingers came together completely, clasping tightly.

"I'm trying to subtly find out if Xiao Xiang knows about this. It's best not to cause too much of a stir with this kind of thing. After all, even though their identities haven't been revealed yet, Xiao Xiang and Xiao Mu are already considered celebrities. It wouldn't be good for the band called Ave Mujica if this kind of thing got out."

Lowering her head slightly, Shiina Tatsuki's purple eyes showed a hint of hesitation, as if she was seriously considering Nagasaki Sase's words.

Or rather, he was looking for loopholes in his friend's words.

After all, this incident may indeed be unrelated to MyGO!!!!!, but it undoubtedly had a significant impact on the band called Ave Mujica.

In any case, Toyokawa Shoko and Wakaba Mutsu are still considered his friends, and Toyokawa Yuu and Chihaya Aine seem to have a pretty good relationship as well.

If Nagasaki Sase's guess is true...

With her eyes closed, Shiina Ritsuki took a deep breath, then opened her purple eyes and made her decision.

“Okay, I’ll help you with this, but you have to promise me that after you confirm whether Xiao Mu is at Mr. You Yu’s house, the first thing you should do is not to tell Xiang Zi, but to tell me both Xiao Mu’s situation and Mr. You Yu’s address.”

Seeing that Shiina Tatsuki had finally agreed, Nagasaki Sōse beamed with joy.

"Of course, no problem. After all, this time I, Li Xi, am going on this mission together."

Seeing the bright smile on Nagasaki Sase's face, Shiina Tatsuki lowered her eyes again.

I hope I didn't make the wrong decision.

But no matter how you look at it, agreeing to do stalking makes him just like Nagasaki Sasuke in front of him...

It's completely rotten.

............................................................

"Lenai, have you been waiting here for a long time?"

In a livehouse called [RING], Chihaya Aine and Takamatsu Akari push open the door to the rehearsal room that Shiina Tatsuki had booked for MyGO!!!!! using his position as an employee, only to discover that he and Takamatsu Akari were not the first to arrive.

A girl with short white hair sat in Shiina Riki's drumming spot, her guitar and effects pedals already plugged in.

This time, however, Yoro didn't continue to hold onto her old guitar, which held great significance for her and which she loved dearly. Instead, she carefully placed it against the wall.

Her fair face looked somewhat downcast, and her once lively heterochromatic eyes no longer held their former vivacity. She looked like a Persian cat that had been wandering the streets for several days, hungry and destitute.

Chihaya Aine was a little surprised to see that Kaoru had arrived so early, since in her memory, this stray cat usually arrived last.

But what surprised Chihaya Aine even more than arriving early was that Kaname seemed a little disappointed, yet still obediently sat alone in the rehearsal room.

You should know that this stray cat named [RING] is known for her capricious nature. When she feels like it, she will play the guitar, and when she doesn't, she will drag the guitar and effects pedals away. Even her best friend, Shiina Riki, sometimes can't control her.

This was the first time Chihaya Aine had ever seen someone sitting alone in the rehearsal room like this, looking somewhat unhappy but still obediently waiting for someone.

Logically, after Yona's mood was ruined, she should have left immediately, after all...

Cats are seven times more sensitive than humans, and if they feel uncomfortable, they'll run away on their own... or so it's said.

Seeing someone push the door open and enter, Kaoru Nai, who was sitting in the chair, looked up in surprise, but when she saw that it wasn't the person she had been waiting for, she pouted unhappily.

Her innocent appearance makes it impossible for her to hide her inner thoughts.

"rikki, matcha parfait, I can't wait."

Kaname seemed unhappy and couldn't even finish her sentence, but Chihaya Aine and Takamatsu Akari could still guess what she was thinking.

It's probably because Shiina Tatsuki said that if she came to rehearsal every day, he would buy her a matcha parfait every day, but today the person who made that promise was absent.

but......

"Lanna, didn't you check your message again? Riki said she took the day off today because of something."

With a smile, Chihaya Aine explained to the somewhat sullen Persian cat in front of her, gently stroking the girl's white hair as if soothing her little mood.

"I need to take leave... live, happiness and home, I can't take leave."

After being comforted by Chihaya Aine, the Persian cat girl stopped holding back her temper and puffed up her cheeks, looking quite unhappy.

"Alright, alright, after all, today isn't a live performance, it's just a rehearsal."

Supporting Kaname's armpits, Chihaya Aine lifted the Persian cat girl, who was even smaller than herself, from Shiina Tatsuki's seat and placed her next to the old guitar.

“But since Riki and Soyorin can’t make it, how about we cancel today’s rehearsal and go have a matcha parfait with Renai, okay?”

"Matcha parfait...delicious, I want a matcha parfait."

Upon hearing Chihaya Aine's suggestion, Rakuna's puffed-up cheeks finally seemed to calm down a bit, and a slight smile returned to the corners of her eyes.

The happiness of a stray cat can sometimes be that simple.

A few minutes later, Chihaya Aine, Kaname Rana, and Takamatsu Akari sat in a circle around a table at [RING]. The girl with short purple-gray hair was fiddling with her stickers, while Kaname Rana was enjoying a double serving of matcha parfait by herself.

Chihaya Aine propped herself up on the table with her elbows, her palms supporting her cheeks. Looking at the fairly harmonious atmosphere among the three of them, she felt an inexplicable urge to sigh.

Lena is such a good kid, so easy to coax. Unlike Youyu, who can be incredibly stubborn and won't eat unless I'm around.

Speaking of which, Xiangzi went to deliver lunch to Youyu today, I wonder if she succeeded.

Should we ask Youyu? But that's not a good idea, he's Xiangzi's fiancé.

Although we really don't have any other relationship besides being friends, what if Xiangzi doesn't think that way?

It's important to maintain social distancing.

Holding her phone close to her chest, Chihaya Aine spun it around and around, unusually caught in a dilemma.

But in the end, she still placed the phone in front of her and pressed the power button.

However, I still couldn't put my mind at ease, so I asked again, which would also be a good opportunity to inquire about Xiao Mu's current situation.

Even though they are just students like me, it still bothers me that they don't go to school.

Besides, as long as Tomorin and Renai are present, there shouldn't be any misunderstandings.

With that in mind, Chihaya Aine opened the contacts menu and clicked on the name 【Toyokawa Yuu】.

Chapter 115 The Man Who Started to Get Interesting (6k)

In Ave Mujica's office, Yuu Toyokawa finished organizing the documents in her hands, and after confirming that they were correct, she put them aside.

There's not much work for now, so all that's left is to take Hatsune Miku tonight to discuss things with Sumimi's manager, and then communicate with the production team afterwards.

Looking up at Toyokawa Shoko, who was sitting silently on the sofa and had not followed her advice to return to school to continue her studies, a hint of helplessness flashed in Toyokawa Yuu's eyes.

Although Toyokawa Shoko's suggestion was actually good, Toyokawa Yuu ultimately did not agree, and even refused to wait outside.

Yuu Toyokawa couldn't explain the specific reasons, but he was certain that he didn't want Shoko Toyokawa to get involved in anything that involved specific exchanges of benefits.

However, after being rejected, the blue-haired girl did not leave the office immediately. Instead, she sat quietly on the sofa and took out Yuukoka's textbook from her bag.

The soft rustling of pages turning and the scratching of pen nibs on paper have been his constant companions in the office until now.

“Actually, you don’t need to stay here with me at all. The meeting time at Ave Mujica is in the evening. You can go back to school first.”

“When you asked me if we should go back to school, there was no need to go back. It’s quite a distance from here to Haneoka. If I had gone back then, I might have been able to catch the school bell.”

The pen tip, lightly touching the page, paused slightly. Toyokawa Shoko's amber eyes flickered for a moment before she resumed turning the pages.

"Besides, I'm not just here to keep you company; I'm also saving time on my homework. The scholarship competition at Yuqiu is fierce, and..."

Gently biting her lip, Toyokawa Shoko's amber gaze shifted slightly, subtly glancing at Toyokawa Yuu sitting behind her desk.

From her angle, she could just bypass the computer on the table and see the boy's face from the side.

Carefully observing whether Toyokawa Yuu's expression would change because of her words, Toyokawa Shoko continued to speak.

"Furthermore, I also need to preview my lessons in advance. The teaching pace in Tsukinomori is faster than in Haneoka. I'll help Mutsu catch up with her as soon as she gets back."

When Toyokawa Yuu mentioned Wakaba Mutsumi, whom she had hidden away, Toyokawa Shoko cautiously glanced at the boy's expression. Only after finding that he did not show any displeasure at her subtle probing did she slowly breathe a sigh of relief.

But soon, a strange sense of unease quietly rose from the depths of Toyokawa Shoko's heart.

Asking her fiancé about the condition of her lower body, yet having to be so cautious, is truly...

Taking a few deep breaths, but the air circulation did not alleviate the restlessness in her heart, so Toyokawa Shoko simply put down the book and pen in her hand.

"Tutoring Mu... that's fine, after all, we can't live like this forever, we still have to go home and go back to school after this is all over."

Yuu Toyokawa did not doubt what Shoko Toyokawa said, and even nodded in agreement.

Although he has broken up with Minami and now has Wakaba Mutsu hiding in his house.

But Toyokawa Yuu really didn't intend to keep Wakaba Mutsu with her forever.

Since it is assumed that Wakaba Mutsu will definitely return to his normal life, it is only natural to have Toyokawa Shoko make such preparations in advance.

only......

Recalling Minami's confident smile, Toyokawa Yuu knew that getting her to give up wouldn't be easy, especially given that Ave Mujica was now being constantly hampered by others.

From this perspective, even without the incident involving Junda Mana, it would have been inevitable for him to go and complain to Toyokawa Kiyoshi.

Kiyoyuki Toyokawa definitely knows more about Minami Mori than he does, and might even know more than Mutsuki Wakaba.

"What are you thinking about? You seem so lost in thought."

Having made up her mind, Toyokawa Yuu was about to get up from her seat.

The work that needed to be done is done for now. The remaining part can only be announced and carried out after the Ave Mujica gathering in the evening. In the meantime, it would not be a bad idea to go and tell Toyokawa Kiyoshi.

But when he looked up, he found that Toyokawa Shoko had put down her textbook at some point and was standing next to him, staring straight at him.

"Weren't you reading? What are you doing here...? I have to go out for a bit, I should be back before the Ave Mujica meeting, but if I miss it..."

Toyokawa Yuu paused slightly, as he wasn't entirely sure how long it would take him to find Qinggao.

"If I can't make it, take this plan to Ms. Lena, Sumimi's agent, and remember to bring Chuhua along."

Why do you make it sound like you can't come back even if you can't catch up...?

Upon hearing Yuu Toyokawa's arrangement, Shoko Toyokawa immediately frowned.

Since her fiancé joined Ave Mujica and she handed over the power of her agent to him, this is the first time he has allowed her to reclaim that power.

Even Hachiman Kairin only received some light and unimportant tasks from Toyokawa Yuu.

Toyokawa Yuu had always been very clear about the boundaries between their authority and work. When she offered to help him after feeding him at noon today, he even used that as a reason to refuse.

Even though I rejected his refusal...

What are you planning to do?

Before Yuu Toyokawa could answer, her cell phone, which was on the desk, vibrated.
