"Talent?"

Faced with the three question marks in front of him, Sakurakoji Sai confidently narrowed his eyes and said arrogantly, "Of course, and it will definitely be a girls' high school—middle school students—just like you. Leave that to me!"

Thinking about Lena's age, he changed his mind.

Volume 1: Daily Life of Attracting Bees and Butterflies: Chapter 90 It Was Destiny After All

Two days later, Sakurakoji received a letter from someone who was not in Tokyo. The profile picture was a chibi-style gray cat with big eyes—somewhat like the ugly cat he had seen in that old house last time.

The sender is Momoka Kawaragi.

Come to think of it, it's been a week since he left Kawasaki. I wonder how they've been doing these past few days.

Although I contacted her and Izayoi Rina by text message once or twice during the trip, it was very brief. After all, there wasn't much to talk about. We were just people who had shared a room for one night and weren't that close yet.

Especially with Jingqinrencai, how could he bear to disturb the little girl's hard work in preparing for the exam?

He clicked into the message page and started reading the content.

There were only two pieces of information, but they summarized what she wanted to say.

The message said that she seemed to have found a new band member and asked him if he had time to meet him, otherwise it would be fine.

hmm~

He sensed something was amiss, and Sakurakoji narrowed his eyes.

The reason why Kawara Momoka told him this was probably related to the fact that he had asked her a couple of days ago if she had found any teammates.

Judging by the timing, it should be time for that woman with the exaggerated facial expressions to make her appearance.

Go! We absolutely have to go!

Without thinking twice, he replied to her: "Do you have anything to eat?"

mmk: [...]

mmk: [Yes, yes, okay?]

Sakura: [Then I definitely have to go!]

Sakura: [Wait for me, I'm coming right away!]

mmk: [There's no need to rush. You're in Tokyo, right?]

Sakura: [It's a short drive, are you at the villa now?]

mmk: [Not here yet, but should be there later]

Sakura: [I understand]

After ending the call with her, he dialed another person's number without hesitation.

After a few beeps, the call was answered, and Sakurakoji immediately said, "Boss! I need to take a leave of absence!"

……

Inside the villa in Kawasaki,

An and Subaru, who had just changed their shoes and entered, were carrying a rather large radiating lamp. They looked around in surprise, astonished by the environment in which Momoka Kawaragi lived.

She thought her high-end duplex apartment was already pretty good, but compared to this, she felt utterly defeated.

Not only does it have a standalone building and a large number of rooms, but it also has a separate music recording studio, which is simply every band's dream room.

"Oh, so Momoka is a rich girl? I didn't know that."

"Don't joke around, what kind of young lady needs to work to earn her own living expenses?"

Kawara Momoka casually leaned the blue guitar she was carrying against the wall, then slumped back on the sofa, letting out a sigh like an old man, with an expression of utter bliss.

"Isn't that right? The rent for this house must be over a million yen a month. Is it possible to make that much money working?" Anwa Subaru tilted his long, straight black hair and looked straight at her.

"No, no, I didn't rent this house. How could I afford to rent it? I'm just staying here temporarily." Kawara Momoka's eyes narrowed into slits as she waved her hand and denied it.

"Who is that? Could it be another member of the band?" An and Subaru leaned their heads toward her, their eyes filled with curiosity.

"It's not that..." Momoka Kawaharaki hesitated to speak, unsure whether it was embarrassment or difficulty in saying it, "...actually, it's a fan of mine."

"Huh? Fans?" Anwa Subaru's eyes widened, this was an unexpected answer, and he asked tentatively, "You're kidding, right?"

"It's hard to believe, but it's true." Recalling what happened last week, Momoka Kawahara felt as if she were dreaming; it was more absurd and coincidental than a TV drama.

“Last week, when I was about to give up and leave, I met him at the farewell concert in front of the station. Oh, and Nina too. It seems that they both rushed there because they saw the concert information I posted online.”

“We had dinner together that night. Since they were all from out of town, they stayed overnight in my old room. After finding out I was leaving, that guy rented this place the next day, saying it would be convenient for him to stay when he came to Kawasaki again. But he hasn’t shown up for the past week.”

“I said I wanted to rent the old house again, and he said that since this place was empty anyway, he gave me the key and let me move in. He also said that I had already paid a year’s rent, so it would be a waste not to move in.”

Kawara no Momoka shrugged and explained the situation to her.

“Eh~ but this should obviously be…” An and Subaru observed her expression and said hesitantly.

"Yes, it must have been made especially for me." Momoka Kawahara stated her concerns directly, her expression unchanged. Since she had already accepted the other party's kindness, she had no reason not to acknowledge it.

"You don't know, when he first talked to me, I thought he was just some random fan who had seen me somewhere before and that's why he came over to talk to me."

So I took out a CD and asked him if he wanted to buy it, hoping to scare him. Guess what happened?

"He actually took out more than a dozen 10,000 yen bills from his wallet and said he wanted to buy a hundred! In the end, I was the one who was startled."

Recalling the scene of her first encounter with Sakurakoji Sai, she couldn't help but laugh.

"Haha, Ma Ji? Does such a person really exist? The scene must have been hilarious!" Anhe Subaru imagined it and couldn't help but chuckle. She could even picture the expression on Kawahara Momoka's face at that moment.

"But the other party is actually a man, is it really okay?"

After she finished being happy, she looked up and down at Momoka Kawara's slender figure lying on the sofa.

It's hard to believe that male fans would go to such lengths for a female idol; it's just normal fan support. Besides, she not only has a great figure and fair skin, but also a unique and attractive personality, though different from the typical gentle woman.

“If it were someone else, I certainly wouldn’t accept it, but him… I guess he really didn’t mean it that way.” Kawara Momoka naturally understood what An and Subaru were worried about, but thinking of Sakurakoji’s stunning good looks, she could only cover her face and remain silent, too ashamed to face anyone.

She felt ashamed just thinking about it; if others knew, they would probably laugh at her to death.

"What do you mean? Does he have a different sexual orientation—" Anhe Subaru looked bewildered.

"No, that's not it. The one with unusual sexual orientation is my previous roommate. He should be normal." Kawara Momoka immediately denied her imagination. "Well, anyway, I just asked him. He has time today and will be coming over soon. You'll understand when you see him."

"...Although there are many things I care about in what you said, you said he's coming right away. Is he from out of town?"

"Yes, I think his family lives in Tokyo."

"Hey~ So you're a rich young master from Tokyo. No wonder you're so wealthy. You're definitely different from us out-of-towners."

"Your family is from Kobe, right? It's so close to Osaka and Kyoto. This is something a country bumpkin like me from Hokkaido should be saying."

"No, no, no, how can Kyoto compare to Tokyo? Besides, I'm not even from Kyoto."

"..." The two looked at each other.

"Hahaha." X2

"Well, let's not talk about that." Momoka Kawahara wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

“That’s true.” Anwa Subaru smiled and tossed his smooth, beautiful black hair. “Speaking of which, didn’t you just mention Nina? Who is that?”

"Hmm? Oh, right, I haven't told you about her yet." Momoka Kawaharaki sat up, pointed to the lamp she had brought, and said to her, "This is for her."

“I went to her apartment a few days ago and found that there wasn’t even a main light, so I asked you if you had any extra one.”

"Ah, I see." Anhe Subaru looked enlightened. "When I came in just now, I was thinking, is it really appropriate to use such casual lighting fixtures in such a high-class residence? Well, it turns out that's not what's needed here."

"Yes, her full name is Izuru Izumi. She dropped out of school in her hometown and came here because of some things, but she is a woman."

"How wonderful! I ran into a man and a woman, two fans from out of town, all by chance one night. Don't you think it's fate?"

"Um, could you please not use that kind of language?" Kawara Momoka frowned, her face slightly bitter.

"?"

"But that makes sense. At first I thought they might be messing with me, but now it seems it really is fate." As if she had thought of something, Momoka Kawara chuckled softly, her expression gentle.

……

after an hour,

Sakurakoji used the key to open the villa's door and walked straight into the entrance hall.

Seeing two pairs of shoes of different sizes placed on the entryway floor tiles, he understood that the two had returned.

He changed into the indoor slippers that Momoka Kawara had prepared and began searching the building, following the sound of voices to the first-floor living room. He walked to the door and knocked on the open door.

"Hey, I'm here! What are you planning to treat me to tonight?"

"!" Hearing the noise behind her, An and Subaru, who were sitting with their backs to the entrance, were startled and quickly turned around. When they saw the person's face, their astonishment deepened.

"what?"

The other person was not only a complete stranger, but also looked better than he was proud of his appearance!

"Excuse me, who are you...?"

Logically, her first reaction should have been to assume the other person was a burglar, but she didn't think that at all; she simply assumed the other person had entered the wrong door.

“He’s the young master I mentioned before, his name is Sakurakoji Saiki,” Kawara Momoka explained from the sofa, then looked at him: “Oh, you came pretty fast.”

"After all, Kawasaki and Tokyo are so close, it doesn't take much time to get there by train."

Sakurakoji walked in with an air of familiarity, heading towards a single sofa. She then looked at An and Subaru and asked, "And who is this lovely lady?"

Volume 1: The Daily Life of Attracting Bees and Butterflies: Chapter 91 A Three-Part Discussion

“This is Anhe, the new teammate I was just talking about. I’m going to have her as the drummer.” Kawara Momoka got up and walked to the side, made him a cup of tea with hot water from the water dispenser, and explained as she walked.

"Thank you," he said, taking the teacup and then looking at An and Subaru, who were still in a daze. "Hello, my name is Sakurakoji Saiki. Nice to meet you."

"Oh, oh!" Anwa Subaru quickly snapped back to reality and replied eagerly, "My name is Anwa Subaru, nice to meet you."

"It's really strange that Subaru would lose his composure like this. I thought you could handle anything with grace and composure." Seeing her reaction, Momoka Kawaharaki was a little surprised.

“Because… look,” Anwa Subaru secretly pointed at Sakurakoji Saiki, “you never told me that your fan was that kind of person!”

"Like this?" Sakurakoji looked at himself with a puzzled expression.

Momoka Kawaharaki was quite pleased with her panic. Right, right, it would be abnormal not to be surprised, right?

"So I told you, right? You'll understand once you see him. See? It's safe, isn't it?"

“That’s true…” An and Subaru were speechless, now completely convinced that the other party probably didn’t have any ulterior motives. Even if they did, it didn’t seem like Kawara Momoka would be the one to suffer.

"Safety?" Sakurakoji was even more confused, not understanding what they were talking about in riddles.

"Alright, by the way, is it just the two of you? Isn't Nina here?"

"Ah, she's decided to stay in her old apartment, so I'm all alone here for now," Momoka Kawara explained to him, arms crossed and legs crossed.

"Oh, I see. What about the dinner party tonight?"

"Let's let her know later. She's probably still busy studying right now, isn't she?"

"That's fine too."

The two chatted away, their familiarity with each other greatly surprising An and Subaru. She had thought that their meeting would be an awkward and uncomfortable fan-idol meeting, but the two talked like old friends—they didn't seem like fans and idols at all.

Fortunately, she was also a social butterfly, and after a brief moment of panic at his attire and appearance, she naturally blended in without much trouble.

Is Mr. Talent really a fan of Momoka?

"Hey! What do you mean?" Momoka Kawara frowned, clearly displeased.

“Just call me Caihua. I’m probably not much older than you.” Sakurakoji Caihua smiled at her.
