"Who said I live alone?" Sakurakoji Sai looked at her with a puzzled expression.

"Huh? There's someone else?" Izana asked in surprise, then, as if she had thought of something, her face flushed and she exclaimed excitedly, "Could it be... could it be my girlfriend!?"

"No!" Following the example of Momoka Kawahara, Saitaka Sakurakoji gently tapped her forehead with a chopstick, interrupting her delusions.

"Why do you think I brought you here?"

"Eh?" X2

Upon hearing this, not only Iori Rina, but also Kawara Momoka, who was marveling at the room, looked over in surprise.

Recalling the conversation they had just had, an unlikely thought came to their minds... It couldn't possibly mean that, could it?

Nodding in satisfaction at their expressions, Sakurakoji Sai continued, "I'm not staying here permanently, so it's not good for the house to be empty all the time, is it?"

"If you'd like, you can stay here regularly, especially Miss Momoka. You just moved out of your apartment, so it won't be easy for you to move back right away, will it?"

"In return, you just need to help me with cleaning and maintenance from time to time. How about that? Not a bad suggestion, right?"

"..."

"..."

The two fell silent, wondering if they had misheard.

After a long while, Momoka Kawahara looked at him seriously: "Talent, you wouldn't be because of..."

"No, no," Sakurakoji Sai waved his hand, "I'm serious. I really will be coming to Kawasaki from time to time from now on. It would be too much trouble to find a hotel every time, so I rented this house. Don't overthink it!"

"It just so happens that you and Renna also need one, so I took that into consideration when choosing a room."

"While I can't say I have no such thoughts, it's my pleasure to help young people who are eager to pursue their dreams. Don't feel guilty."

"Besides," he said, looking at her with a smile, "I told you, I'm your fan, right? Isn't showing a little support for your idol what a fan should do?"

"But this is too..." Momoka Kawara's eyes were complicated, and she still found it hard to accept.

“STOP!” Sakurakoji Sai made an X with his hands. “Anyway, I’ve already paid a year’s rent. It doesn’t matter whether you stay or not. If you don’t stay, the rent will just go to waste. You can choose for yourselves.”

"I've already received so much help from you, I can't accept any more!"

"I can't hear you! I can't hear you!"

"How am I supposed to repay you after this?!"

"Who said you have to pay it back? Do fans buy merchandise because they want to do something for their idol in the future?"

"But……"

"No buts, if you really feel embarrassed," Sakurakoji Sai met her gaze, "then try your best to make better songs. I look forward to your new album CD."

Seeing an unprecedented seriousness and strength in his eyes, Momoka Kawara's lips moved, but she said nothing. She lowered her usually carefree face, feeling a warmth in her heart.

Is this what it feels like for idols with wealthy fans? That's amazing!

"Um..." Serina carefully raised her hand to speak, "Um, I'm not someone who wants to make music like Momoka-san, so it's not really appropriate for me to live here, is it?"

"Besides, I've already rented a house..."

"Huh?" Momoka Kawahara looked up in surprise, bringing her face close to hers with a serious expression.

"Huh? What?" Jingqin Rencai was like a mouse being watched by a cat, completely at a loss.

"Nina, didn't you say you wanted to form a band with me?" Momoka Kawahara crossed her arms and reproached her.

“I didn’t say that!” Jingqin Rencai said firmly.

“You said it! You said ‘Please raise your middle finger with me!’” Kawara Momoka raised her middle finger, making a cute expression in front of her, trying to remind her.

Jing Qinren covered her hand tightly with her hand and pried her fingers back. "Please find a way to cure this habit of always giving the middle finger!"

"Ouch, ouch, ouch." Kawara Momoka closed her eyes and withdrew her finger.

"That statement wasn't about wanting to sing; it was based on our respective positions," said Igarashi Rina, turning around with a resolute attitude.

"I want to study! Miss Momoka wants to do music!"

"What? Is that what you mean?" Momoka Kawahara rubbed her forehead in exasperation. "No wonder I felt something was off."

"I was the one who was startled by what you said!" Izuru Rina turned around, her expression a mixture of embarrassment and shock.

“Tsk tsk, it seems the road ahead is long and arduous,” Sakurakoji Sai shook his head at this, “but it doesn’t matter, maybe Nina-san will want to do music one day, and then she can be with Momoka-san.”

"Absolutely not!" Jingqin Rencai insisted, "No matter what, I must get into university!"

"Well, since you put it that way, I respect your opinion." While saying this on the surface, Sakurakoji secretly pulled Kawaharaki Momoka aside, placing his hand on her shoulder and whispering:

"I have some things to take care of and need to get back to Tokyo tomorrow, so I'll leave the rest to you."

"Huh? Leave it to me? But Nina said she doesn't want to..." Momoka Kawara looked bewildered.

“Well, kids’ attitudes are fickle. Nina just hasn’t figured out what she really wants yet,” Sakurakoji Sai analyzed for her. “I feel like there will definitely be a twist later. I’ll have to trouble you then, just like how Nina made you change your mind today.”

"...I understand. If things really turn out as you said, then..." Kawara no Momoka narrowed her eyes and nodded in understanding.

"In short, even if Ms. Nina doesn't want to pursue music, you're always welcome to stay with us. After all, I said I'd take care of you." Having finalized the last details, Sakurakoji clapped his hands and gave his final summary.

"It's already late, so Miss Nina, why don't you stay here for the night and leave tomorrow?"

……

Early the next morning,

Izare Jinna set off to register at the preparatory school, and Kawara Momoka, because of Sakurakoji's talent, insisted on going with her to visit.

Just as he had said last night, Sakurakoji took the early train back to Tokyo.

He wasn't lying this time; he did have something to do afterward, which took him a day and two nights in Kawasaki. Not to mention anything else, he even took two days off from Fanxing's place—Iji Chisei probably scolded him quite harshly.

Moreover, he also had an appointment to make today.

Leaning against the handrail of the tram, he summarized the gains of this trip, and he had to admit that the results were better than he had expected!

His progress points were advanced by about two percent in one go, which puzzled Sakurakoji Saiki. What was going on? Why was he given so many points?

The first night before last was particularly productive, with most of the progress gained during that time. Although I did get to know several new characters, it shouldn't have had such a miraculous effect, right?

It's worth noting that, excluding the last few days, he only accumulated one percent of healing points after running three dungeons—Starry Night, Hoshino Ai, and Aoyama Nanami—a while ago.

This trip to Kawasaki, and I got double the rewards from the early stages in one go? That's a bit too outrageous.

Regardless, this is a good thing. With the points he's gained from refreshing these places in the past few days, as well as the rewards from Hiratsuka Shizuka, Shiina Mahiru, Touma Kazusa, Kasumigaoka Utaha, and others, he's now about five or six percent of the total progress.

Compared to the initial struggles, this is much faster now; at least, we can see hope!

Sakurakoji Sai was in tears, speechless and almost laughing. Which protagonist could work so hard for so many days and only complete one-twentieth of the initial mission?

It’s so off the mark!

To avoid the morning rush hour, he left home very early, thus avoiding the crowded train carriages packed with commuters.

To reduce living costs, many people choose to live in the surrounding prefectures and cities, only commuting to Tokyo by train.

Because of the private nature of the industry, train services in Japan are not as frequent as in China, and maximizing profits is always a priority. Therefore, at specific times and locations each day, you can see conductors forcefully shoving passengers into the trains – a scene often seen on television.

"Oh no, we need to speed things up."

Back at the Heavenly Mansion, noticing the time, Sakurakoji quickly took a quick shower, changed his clothes, and prepared for his upcoming date.

First, use your phone to inform her that you might be late, so she can arrive early and not wait for you.

After changing her clothes, Sakurakoji went downstairs, got into the car she had been notified of in advance, and headed towards her destination.

The car quickly left Minato Ward, passed through Shibuya, entered Setagaya Ward, and then left Tokyo, arriving in the nearby Fuchu City.

That's right, today is Shiina Mahiru's graduation ceremony.

A few days ago, Shiina Mahiru told him the time and place, and yesterday she subtly asked him if he was free, saying that it was okay if he didn't go.

See? A woman's ability to lie is an innate talent, ingrained in her genes. She might be secretly hoping for something, yet deliberately say the exact opposite to test the waters. It's a perfect game—she's incredibly adorable!

If he actually goes along with her and says he's busy, he'll probably be blacklisted by her immediately.

Therefore, even though he was in Kawasaki yesterday, he rushed back this morning, changed his clothes, and went to her place immediately.

I glanced at the time on my phone screen; if I rushed over now, I should make it in time.

……

In a middle school in Fuchu City, Shiina Mahiru, wearing a school uniform, kept intertwining her fingers, looking nervous and worried. Whenever her eyes met those of her classmates who were walking by with their parents in twos and threes, laughing and talking, she would quickly lower her head and not look closely.

As expected, neither of her parents planned to attend today's ceremony.

Whenever she saw the sunny optimism on the faces of other classmates, and their hopes and expectations for the future in their words, she would involuntarily feel a little envious and jealous, leaving scars of memory in her heart.

Today, the entire campus is filled with a bittersweet mix of happiness and excitement, but it seems that only she is shrouded in melancholy clouds.

Sister Ogura, will you be coming later?

Although she said she might be a little late, what if there's traffic, or some unexpected accident, or even—if she never planned to come in the first place…

No, no, no! She said she would definitely come! She wouldn't lie to me!

Shiina Mahiru shook her head vigorously, banishing the thought from her mind.

"Good morning, Shiina-kun!"

"Shiina looks beautiful today too!"

"You're going to give a speech on stage soon, aren't you nervous?"

"..."

As she walked through the teaching building, students from the same grade kept coming up to talk to her, but she pretended to be fine and dealt with them one by one.

"By the way, where are Shiina's family members? Aren't they with you?" a female student asked curiously.

"Ah! I'm also very curious about what Shiina's family is like! Is he really the heir to a big company?"

"!" Shiina Mahiru paused for three seconds, then said, "She said she'd be a little later, she'll be here in a bit..."

"Hey, her? Who is she? Is she Shiina's mother?"

"No...it's...my older sister."

"Really?! Shiina's older sister? What kind of person is she? Shiina is so pretty, she must be a great beauty too, right?" The female classmate didn't notice the change in her expression and looked on with a look of infatuation and curiosity.

“She’s not my biological sister, but she’s definitely prettier than me…” Shiina Mahiru hesitated as she explained, thinking of Ogura Asahi’s unrealistic appearance.

"No way?! Really?!"

"Liar! She's actually prettier than Shiina-san?"

"Nani? What are you talking about?"

"..."

As Shiina Mahiru is not only the top student who consistently ranks first in academics, but also the school's most beautiful girl with delicate features, she is also extremely outstanding in sports and has a very easygoing personality. Naturally, she is a popular figure and the focus of attention in the school.

People were paying close attention to her movements, and soon a large crowd gathered around her.

"Shiina said her older sister is coming over later! Apparently, she's even prettier than Shiina!"

"Hey! Ma Ji?!"

"..."

"Hey!" Seeing that the situation was escalating, Shiina Mahiru looked anxious and tried to stop them, but she couldn't control the students who were so emotional today.

Thanks to the efforts of busybodies, the news quickly spread widely, reaching not only students but also teachers.

After overhearing the students' conversation in the hallway, Shiina Mahiru's homeroom teacher frowned, filled with doubt.

She knew about Shiina Mahiru's family situation; she didn't have an older sister at all, right? And her parents didn't seem to care much about her. She didn't even know if they would attend the ceremony today. In fact, they weren't seen at the previous three-way meeting either.

If it's true, that's fine, but if Shiina Mahiru was forced to say it to maintain appearances, and things don't go as planned, the child will ultimately be the one who gets hurt.
