Chapter 305 Midnight Adventure?
Gogen Ruri had a gloomy face, as if she wanted to divert her attention. She was silently thinking about her next plan to make money.

Even after returning home, her aura was still so gloomy, as if a thick black mist was emanating from her entire body.

So much so that Gokou Hinata and Gokou Tama, who were sitting in front of the TV watching anime, couldn't help but shiver, and for a moment they were afraid to get close to her.

But at this moment, her cell phone suddenly rang.

Having her train of thought interrupted, Gogen Ruri first frowned unconsciously, and her aura became even colder. But then she seemed to have thought of something, and her originally slow movements quickly accelerated.

After opening the phone cover and seeing the new message, the black fog that enveloped his body suddenly disappeared without a trace like snowflakes under the scorching sun, and his tightly furrowed brows relaxed again.

But soon she fell into distress again.

"Are you home yet?"

"Hey, what should I say?"

Looking at the message sent by Iura Hide, Gokou Ruri felt distressed, but at the same time, she couldn't help but feel sweet as if she had eaten a big bite of marshmallow.

If she wasn't in the living room now, with two little kids staring at her with wide eyes, she would have wanted to roll around on the bed with her phone in her arms.

Or, like in the original article, you can secretly meow dozens of times in front of the mirror in the room.

After writing and deleting, deleting and writing for several minutes, Gogeng Liuli still hadn't figured out how to reply. In the end, she had no choice but to simply reply:
"Um"

As a result, just a few seconds after the message was sent, Jingpu Xiu called directly.

This made her stunned at first, and then she suddenly understood something. At the same time, an indescribable feeling of emotion surged in her heart, and she could no longer suppress the smile on her face.

"Liuli-chan, are you home yet?"

"Well, I'm home."

Gogen Ruri answered the phone and tried very hard to adjust herself for several seconds before she managed to make her voice sound calmer.

However, her smiling face and her well-behaved and gentle tone made Gokou Hinata and Gokou Tamaki open their mouths unconsciously and their eyes widened.

"Huh? Why again?"

"I don't know, but what's wrong with you, Nai-chan?"

"Could it be that I have encountered a ghost?"

"Should we go to the shrine to ask for an amulet for Uchi-chan, or should we go to the temple to ask a priest to exorcise the evil spirits for Uchi-chan?"

"Shut up!" Gogen Ruri's forehead was full of black lines, and she silently mouthed to the two little LLs.

At this time, Jingura Hideya heard the sound of children's cartoons coming from the TV on the other end of the phone, and he immediately felt relieved.

"That's good. I just want to see if you've arrived home. I'll hang up first then."

"Ah."

Obviously, she is one of the strongest sarcastic actors who can compete with Kasumigaoka Utaha, but at this moment, Gokou Ruri has completely lost her usual eloquence. In the end, she could only respond dryly and hung up the phone reluctantly.

then
“Ahhhh~~~ This is so frustrating~ This is so frustrating~!”

"No, I could have just asked that guy if he wanted a poster of the Queen of the Night!"

"Damn it, damn it, the power of the Sun's followers has corrupted my brain and made it dull."

Gokou Ruri couldn't help but stamp her feet, and muttered to herself in annoyance as if no one was around. This made Gokou Hinata and Gokou Tama look at each other in bewilderment. They felt like they had seen a ghost and couldn't help but feel a little creepy.

"What the hell is wrong with this, Nai-chan!?"

On the other hand, Iura Hide didn't hear anything unusual about Gokou Ruri, because the Gokou Ruri he knew during this period was always so well-behaved and quiet.

This made him think that the personality and character of Gokou Ruri in this world was different from that in the original story.

After hanging up the phone, Iura Hide first made two cups of coffee and sent them to Eriri and Kasumigaoka Utaha. He also took a look at Eriri's current painting progress and talked with Kasumigaoka Utaha about the revision of "Love Metronome".

Then he went to Mashiro's room, helped Mashiro choose pajamas and panties, and threw her changed clothes into the washing machine.

Then he went back to the living room on the first floor, ate snacks and watched a few episodes of anime with Ozora, Kitagawa Umi, as well as Motoko and Hoshino Ai who had finished their homework.

Next, according to Iura Hide's plan, he was going to take a shower together and then pull Kitagawa Umi to start a solo.

Unfortunately, Kitagawa Umi was not feeling well today and was unable to play, so he had to use the reserved game time to continue writing "Oreimo".

It was not until about twelve o'clock that he yawned and crawled into bed, falling asleep in his arms with Hoshino Ai who had secretly come over again.

At the same time, in a Japanese-style inn located in a small alley.

Listening to the even breathing of their companions around them, Mizuno Ai and Konno Junko, who should have fallen asleep long ago, opened their eyes at the same time, looked at each other in the moonlight, quietly got out of bed and left the room.

There was no other way. They had finally come to Tokyo, and there was no way they could resist not visiting their old relatives and friends.

What's more, in order to avoid scaring people like last time, they did not remove their makeup even before going to bed tonight, which made them look no different from ordinary people, making it easier for them to sneak out.

As for why the two of them wanted to get together, it was of course because Junko Konno had been dead for almost forty years.

If we really let her go out alone, she will most likely get lost since she is already timid!

But even if two of them travel together, they still have a big problem to face, that is, they have no money!

"Where does your family live?"

"Futako Tamagawa of Setagaya Ward."

"That's far from here." Mizuno Ai looked at the Tokyo map in the travel brochure that she picked up from the hotel bar, frowned and said in a low voice.

"Well, then go see your family and teammates first." Junko Konno said very understandingly.

Although she and Mizuno Ai have significant differences on how to be an idol due to the different times.

For example, as a Showa idol, she believes that in order to maintain her own "perfection", she must stay away from fans and keep a distance from them. As a new-age idol, Mizuno Ai believes that idols should try to get closer to their fans.

However, they are both from Tokyo and both started out as idols. After eliminating this difference, the two are undoubtedly the closest in the entire Rotten Show.

"That's fine, let's go to my former office first? My home is in Nerima, which is quite far away, but our office is very powerful, and it's located near Motobashi Park, less than four kilometers from here. My former teammates should still be living in the office's dormitory as before."

Speaking of this, Mizuno Ai couldn't help but frowned slightly.

Although her office is not too far from here, the four-kilometer distance can be walked without taking the tram or subway.

But it was already twelve o'clock, and even if she went there, she couldn't sneak into the agency, let alone sneak into the artist dormitory area to meet her teammates. In comparison, it would be more reliable to check her teammates' schedule online and go to the performance hall where they performed.

"Forget it, never mind, let's just pass it first!" Mizuno Ai took a deep breath and muttered secretly in her heart.

It’s no wonder she was so anxious. It was mainly because she had waited so long for this opportunity. If she missed it, what would she do if she didn’t have the chance to sneak out again in the future?
And even if I can't see my former teammates, it would be nice to take another look at my old office!
Although their firm did not treat her very well in the beginning, she had put in countless efforts there after all.

Revisiting an old place is no worse than meeting old friends, isn't it?

Although the streets of Shimokitazawa late at night are not as busy as Shinjuku and Shibuya, there are still many pedestrians.

However, the reborn Mizuno Ai and Konno Junko are like two Little Red Riding Hoods running to the forest to pick mushrooms, holding hands and huddled together. Whenever a stranger approaches, they will subconsciously show a wary look, looking at everyone as if they are looking at the Big Bad Wolf.

However, this is actually not surprising.

After all, they were only 16 years old when the Buddha passed away, especially Junko Konno, who was active in the Showa era.

What's more, when the two men's memories had just been restored and they sneaked out for the first time, they were first harassed by a group of hip-hop monsters, and then they ran into the police and were almost shot in the head.

This is really exciting.

In fact, at this moment, both of them felt like they were on a great adventure.

Fortunately, perhaps because of the world of souman, Tokyo at night was safer than they had imagined. In addition, they took the main roads and had no danger along the way. In the end, it took them about an hour to finally arrive at Mizuno Ai's former artist agency.

"Is this the office you worked in back then? It looks so grand!" Junko Konno said in surprise as she looked at the office's shiny glass exterior and the huge 'Key Time' sign above the entrance.

That’s right, Mizuno Ai’s original agency was also Key Time, and even Mizuno Ai’s original producer was Toshihiko Karasawa.

However, after Mizuno Ai, the most talented talent, was killed by lightning during an open-air concert, Toshihiko Karasawa simply gave up on Iron Frill, which had exhausted its potential.

Since then, Iron Frill, which lost the agency's support, has gradually slipped into a second-rate or even third-rate idol group.

It’s just like in “Faders”, where B. Komachi, who lost Hoshino Ai, fell from a top-notch idol group that was about to reach the top to not even reaching third-rate popularity.

"Yeah, it's okay."

Mizuno Ai looked at the office building in front of her with a complicated expression.

The exploitation of the agency and the harshness of the producers are not good memories.

However, there is one thing that Toshihiko Karasawa did very well, which was to give the "genius" he favored the right to freely choose his teammates.

It was as if he knew that Nanami Kuon's two friends would only hold Nanami back, but he still agreed for the three of them to team up.

In addition, Toshihiko Karasawa's various operations did indeed make Iron Frill almost reach the top.

So she had to admit that as a producer, Toshihiko Karasawa was indeed quite outstanding.

At least in her heart, as both are idol producers, Toshihiko Karasawa is definitely much better and more reliable than that guy Kotaro Tatsumi.

"Speaking of which, how did Tatsumi Kotaro get Iura-san to agree to tailor-make two singles for us?"

This question suddenly popped up in Mizuno Ai's mind again.

At this time, Junko Konno asked quietly, "What should we do now? Do you want to go in?"

The door of the office was not closed even late at night, but there were security guards on duty at the door, and there were four of them in a group of two, so it was not easy to get in.

Mizuno Ai did not answer immediately, but looked up at the window of the dormitory where she and her teammates once lived, then took a deep breath and said, "Forget it, no need. In fact, it is enough to see from the Internet that they are still active as Iron Frill."

Junko Konno took a look and took her hand.

Although Mizuno Ai didn't say it, she actually knew that compared to staying in Rotten Show Show, Mizuno Ai would definitely prefer to return to Iron Frill and continue to fight for the throne of the idol circle with her former teammates.

After all, Mizuno Ai and her former teammates had worked hard for this for many years and were just one step away from success!

Unfortunately, they are already dead, and even if they are resurrected as zombies, they will not be able to return to their former family and friends.

"Shall we go to your house now?"

"Well, but before that we have to go somewhere first."

"Where?"

"Follow me and you'll find out~"

Two minutes later, Mizuno Ai pulled Konno Junko to a 24-hour self-service vending machine on the roadside.

then
With a bang, seven or eight coins with denominations of 50, 100 and 500 fell out with a clang, leaving Junko Konno stunned.

And Mizuno Ai couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth, revealing a look of reminiscence.

"Fortunately, I didn't die very long ago, so this faulty vending machine has not been replaced."

Junko Konno came back to her senses after hearing this. She was always a good girl, and she watched Mizuno Ai stretch out her hand and skillfully pick up all the coins. She couldn't help swallowing her saliva.

"Isn't this a crime?"

"Damn it, just come back and pay me back when you have money~"

"."

Junko Konno really wanted to say, they are zombies now, and considering that Kotaro Tatsumi is so stingy that he doesn’t even buy them a cell phone, will they really have money in the future?

But before she could decide whether to speak or not, Mizuno Ai couldn't wait to pull her towards the main road at the intersection ahead.

In addition, she couldn't go home without money, so she finally chose to remain silent.

However, she and Mizuno Ai soon discovered that even if they had money, they could not go home, because...the money was not enough to take a taxi!
"What!?"

"The starting price is 792 yen!?"

"This is too expensive!"

Yes, because it was late at night, the starting price for a taxi was 792 yen.

This was the first time for two people to take a taxi in their lives. Yes, it was the first time for them to take a taxi and they were stunned by the price.

"How about you go back and kick it again?"

After a while, Junko Konno, who was the first to come to her senses, couldn't help but turn her head to look at Mizuno Ai, and said with a blushing face somewhat embarrassedly.

Just a dozen seconds ago, she was still silently condemning Mizuno Ai's behavior in her heart, but now, her thought changed to: Why didn't she kick her a few more times?
