A guide to survival in a heavy girl's world

"Given how much Tetsuya-kun dotes on her, Hoshino Ai won't be able to do anything unless Chihaya Aine agrees."

For Toyokawa Shoko, who already knows Chihaya Aine's true feelings, Chihaya Aine and Hoshino Ai are at the same level in terms of "threat level". If any one of them stays overnight in the hotel with Chihaya Tetsuya, Toyokawa Shoko will definitely be worried to the point of being unable to sleep all night. However, if the two of them are together, then the two people with the same ecological niche will naturally restrain each other.

Because of this, although Shoko Toyokawa was a little jealous, she was not too worried.

On the other hand, after listening to Toyokawa Shoko's explanation, Wakaba Mu first tilted his head thoughtfully, and then asked:

"What if Aine-san agrees?"

"……What?"

Toyokawa Shoko couldn't help but be stunned.

"Agree? Agree to what?"

"I agree that Hoshino Ai and Chihaya-san can be intimate."

Wakaba Mu said expressionlessly:

"Or rather, make out with Chihaya-san along with Hoshino Ai."

"This, this, this, this...how is this possible?!"

Hearing Wakaba Mutsu's bold guess, Toyokawa Shoko couldn't help but exclaim.

"Do you know what you just said, Mu?! Two people together... something like that... is too shameless!"

"Even you just formulated the 'harem plan' not long ago."

"That's just similar in form! It's about getting everyone to become a team centered around Tetsuya, not really about Tetsuya-kun forming a harem!"

Toyokawa Shoko blushed and defended herself:

"After all, normal people wouldn't understand it as a real 'harem', right? Why did Mu suddenly think of such a bold possibility?!"

"...It's nothing, I was just saying it casually."

Compared with the shaken Toyokawa Shoko, Wakaba Mu's reaction can be said to be calm.

"However, putting this conjecture aside, Xiangzi also said before that once one party takes the initiative to approach Mr. Chihaya, then in order to maintain balance, everyone must make corresponding adjustments, right?"

"Well...I did say that."

Toyokawa Shoko nodded.

"After all, including me, there are already several girls in this team who have clearly fallen in love with Tetsuya-kun. Once we get jealous of each other, it will only delay the real work. Therefore, when it comes to matters concerning Tetsuya-kun, we must ensure a minimum level of fairness."

"..."

While this sounds like a mutually restraining relationship on the surface, if you think about it carefully, if Chihaya actually does something with one of them... or is actually done to someone by one of them, then the others can use this as an excuse to do the same thing. And in this way, this already flawed restraining relationship will immediately transform into a tacit "accomplice agreement" between the two parties. As long as the "criminals" can reach a consensus, Chihaya will passively become an excuse for them to maintain balance...

Realizing this, Wakaba Mu wanted to remind Toyokawa Shoko immediately, but when she saw the shame and anger on Shoko's face that had not completely subsided, she obediently shut her mouth.

She didn't want to further irritate this already shy girl, unable to control her expression, nor did she want to add to her worries while she was still in the speculation stage. And after all... with Xiangzi's type of person prioritizing career over success, if there could only be one winner in the end, Xiangzi's chances of winning were slim to none. But if the situation she imagined really developed, Xiangzi might actually be the one who benefited...

“…Xiangzi.”

"what happened?"

"You should also know that in the so-called elite circles, the family structure and emotional life of the bigwigs are completely different from what the general public knows."

"Ah, of course I know."

Toyokawa Shoko lifted the hem of her maid outfit.

"That's why I need to hurry up and get used to being a personal maid before Tetsuya-kun joins Filia. That way, I can keep those 'pests' away from Tetsuya-kun... Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

"……nothing."

Wakaba Mutsu first shook his head lightly, and then immediately changed the subject.

"By the way, about that drummer I mentioned earlier, I wanted to show you the practice video she recently uploaded."

"???"

Although the topic change was a bit abrupt, it was still about the serious business of [Ave Mujica], so Toyokawa Shoko still focused her attention on the drummer as Ye Mu had hoped...

……

"...Ah, that's it anyway."

Chihaya Tetsuya put down his phone and said to the two people beside him:

"You two can stay in my room tonight, and then we can go back together tomorrow morning."

"kindness!"

Hoshino Ai, who had already equipped herself with a hat and a mask, nodded.

On the other side, Chihaya Aine, who had already removed her makeup, was holding Chihaya Tetsuya's arm while continuing to stare at Hoshino Ai fiercely:

"As long as I'm here, don't even think about attacking my brother again!"

"I don't have any plans to do anything. After all, I just finished a live show and I just want to have a good rest tonight."

Hoshino Ai spread her hands innocently.

"If you have any unreasonable thoughts, don't take me with you."

"……snort."

Chihaya Aine didn't say anything back, but continued to tighten her grip on Chihaya Tetsuya's sleeve.

"Can I really rest well today?"

Faced with the tense atmosphere between the two that showed no sign of easing at all, Chihaya Tetsu couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Chapter 47: Invitation from the "Devil".

Because the incident happened suddenly, Chihaya Tetsu only had time to temporarily book two rooms in an ordinary hotel close to the K-Arena.

He lived in one room himself and the other was left for Wakaba Mutsu.

And now, Ruoye Mu had been entrusted to Xiangzi, so the other room was naturally vacant.

"Just quit it."

Chihaya Aine took the other room card and couldn't help but curl her lips and said:

"Anyway, neither I nor Hoshino Ai can live in another room."

"No, you can't quit!"

Faced with Chihaya Aine's proposal, Chihaya Tetsuya quickly stopped her and said:

"Many guests here booked their rooms just to watch the Summer Zodiac live show. If someone else were to stay next door and hear the sounds of love... it could easily turn into something very bad."

"Ah... this is something we really need to pay attention to! After all, the soundproofing in these ordinary hotel rooms is pretty average!"

Hoshino Ai took off her mask and nodded repeatedly:

"I've specifically asked the agency staff about other idols' relationships being exposed, and there were actually a few who were caught checking into hotels with their boyfriends!"

Chihaya Aine couldn't help but take a deep breath after hearing this:

"How many idols actually have a romantic partner in private...?"

"A lot. After all, being an idol is really stressful. If I don't find other ways to relieve stress, it's really easy to break down."

Hoshino Ai said in a matter-of-fact tone:

"Besides, idols are just ordinary girls who make a living by singing and dancing. It's only natural for girls at this age to yearn for love, right?"

"Well, it's true that young girls are really interested in love..."

Chihaya Aine said this while staring closely at Hoshino Ai's face:

"But the premise is that it won't cause trouble to others!"

"Yeah, that's true."

After hearing this, Hoshino Ai nodded, then smiled sweetly and put her face in front of Chihaya Tetsuya:

"So, Zhe, have I caused you any trouble?"

"...Well, I can be a little bit willful sometimes, but it's not really a bother."

Even though he knew that Hoshino Ai was teasing him on purpose, Chihaya Tetsuya couldn't help but look away and said truthfully:

"On the contrary, I'll be asking you to promote my brand next time, so... well, that's it."

"Look, that's what your brother said."

Hoshino Ai turned around and boasted to Chihaya Aine, who was already gritting her teeth in anger:

"So you don't have anything to complain about, right?"

"How could I not have any?! From the moment you showed up I've had nothing but complaints about you!"

Chihaya Aine said as she pulled Chihaya Tetsuya's arm forcefully.

"By the way, brother, you still owe me a kiss. Now that I've taken off my makeup and there's no one around, it's time to fulfill your promise!"

"..."

Because he had prepared himself mentally before this, although Chihaya Tetsuya was still a little embarrassed by Aine's request for a kiss, he did not have much resistance.

"Okay, I get it... Then Aine, close your eyes."

"It's just a kiss on the cheek, there's no need to close your eyes, right?"

Chihaya Aine pouted and said:

"I want to completely imprint the image of my brother kissing me in my mind!"

"Alas, but..."

"elder brother!"

Faced with Chihaya Tetsuya's extremely hesitant attitude, Chihaya Aine decisively hugged his arms and used her usual coquettish tactics.

"Please, I always get inexplicably overshadowed by this girl. This time, can you just side with me a little bit?"

"I see. Anyway, just a kiss on the cheek will do, right?"

"Of course if you want to kiss I'd welcome that too!"

"Don't embarrass me, Aine. You know I can't do that."

Chihaya Tetsuya first smiled bitterly and shook his head, then he pursed his lips, and after repeating in his heart ten times, "This is just a kiss between brother and sister", he finally gently pressed his lips against Chihaya Aine's cheek——

"……alright!"

After a brief contact of less than a second, Chihaya Tetsuya immediately took a step back.

On the other side, facing this kiss that was as light as a dragonfly touching the water, Chihaya Aine blinked blankly at first, and then asked:

"Eh? Just like that? Does this count as a kiss?"

"Of course it counts!"

At this time, a very obvious blush could be seen on Chihaya Tetsuya's face.

"And you were the one who said you wanted to do the same thing to me that I did to my love! I kissed her like that before!"

"..."

After hearing this, Chihaya Aion silently turned her head to look at Hoshino Ai, and Hoshino Ai shrugged as a default answer.

If Chihaya Tetsuya's kiss on her was really more passionate than this, then Hoshino Ai would definitely continue to provoke her with that annoying look on her face.

In other words... that kiss that had made her so jealous that her teeth were almost broken was really only this level...

"It's so intense that even a kindergartener would consider it healthy... Forget kissing, it's barely even considered 'touching', right?"

Chihaya Aine couldn't help but look blankly at the man in front of her who no longer dared to look her in the eye:

"Brother, are you so shy even for a child-level kiss like this?"

"I clearly did everything you asked me to do, why do I have to be criticized by you?"

Faced with his sister's questioning, Chihaya Tetsuya, who was already extremely embarrassed, suddenly felt a mixture of shame and anger in his heart.

"Anyway, this way you won't have any reason to complain!"
