My life in the underworld begins at the Takayanagi family!

Takayanagi Ichiro's attitude made him very comfortable; he didn't seem to be giving orders and was simply treating himself as a spectator.

After Ito Tamanosuke went on stage, Takayanagi Ichiro led the three little cuties to sit in the first row of the stage and watched the members prepare on stage.

In fact, many people's attention was focused on Takayanagi Ichiro, and they were quite curious about his identity.

However, upon seeing Ichiro Takayanagi and Megumi Ito together, she stopped asking questions.

Megumi Ito and Tamanosuke Ito are siblings in this theater troupe, and they dote on Megumi.

Since it was Ito Megumi who brought her in, there's no need to ask any further questions.

Moreover, it seems that Ichiro Takayanagi has no intention of interfering with the theater troupe, which makes them feel even more at ease.

Their concern was that outsiders would try to give unsolicited advice, and their team leader would succumb to the pressure.

Meanwhile, the adorable Megumi Ito stood next to Ichiro Takayanagi and introduced the theater troupe members on stage.

Although they are now wearing makeup and even clothes that are different from everyday life.

However, Ito Megumi, who had lived with them for so long, recognized their original faces at a glance.

The two adorable girls, Itō Itsuki and Katsura Shin, didn't care about the group members' thoughts; their eyes were fixed on the clothes the people were wearing.

I was thinking that after these people finished, it would be their turn to go on stage to perform, and then we could take photos to commemorate the occasion.

They were quite excited when they were invited by Megumi Ito to watch the performance, as they wanted to see what was going on behind the scenes of some theater troupes' performances.

Now that they've come with Ichiro Takayanagi, he's even helped them apply for roles that allow them to perform, making them even happier.

When rehearsals actually started, Itō Itsuki and Katsura Shin were definitely a little bored; it wasn't as good as the actual performance.

Moreover, some people make mistakes and then face scolding from Ito Tamanosuke.

"Xiao Hui, your brother is a completely different person on and off stage."

At this moment, Itō Itsuki looked at Itō Tamanosuke, who was throwing a tantrum on stage, and felt a little scared. He didn't like Itō Tamanosuke like this.

You know, Ichiro Takayanagi is a very gentle person at all times, and they prefer people like Ichiro Takayanagi more.

Faced with Ito Tomo and Katsura's questions, Ito Megumi was not angry, but instead gave an explanation.

"Because my brother took over this theater troupe at such a young age, he definitely needs to show some extraordinary abilities to earn their respect."

So when they make mistakes, my brother is definitely stricter, and he himself can't afford to make mistakes either.

Although some of her previous actions seemed to be against her brother.

But at times, she was very supportive of her brother, especially when it came to the development of the theater troupe.

"Xiao Hui, the problem you're talking about isn't with your brother, but with the girl who's acting opposite him, right?"

Takayanagi Ichiro's sudden words at this moment made Ito Megumi's eyes light up, and she grabbed Takayanagi Ichiro's hand in surprise and asked:

"Big brother, are you really a detective? Otherwise, how would you know about the problem we're facing now?"

Ito Tomo and Katsura Shin were not jealous of Ito Megumi's actions, because they were good friends with her.

Moreover, the reason we brought Takayanagi Ichiro here was to introduce him to Ito Megumi, and his current performance is exactly what they expected.

"I don't really have much talent as a detective, but the girl who acts opposite your brother always seems to be preoccupied."

"Whether it's your brother or the other theater staff, they all seem to be worried about her, which is why I asked that question."

"That older sister's name is Kataoka Renka. She joined our theater troupe a few months ago."

At the time, we were rehearsing this play for a national tour, so we cast her as the female lead.

This older sister's appearance meets all the requirements, but she is lacking in some basic skills, so she makes a lot of mistakes during rehearsals.

However, everyone was very tolerant of her, and no problems arose.

However, a week before, she suddenly became preoccupied and refused to communicate with the other people in the troupe. I had to ask her some questions.

It turns out this older sister seems to be a rich girl; she ran away from home before.

When Ito Megumi said this, there was a hint of longing in her voice, as if leaving home was something to be happy about.

But it's understandable, since she's always lived in this theater troupe.

She would definitely like to go out and play if given the chance.

"Running away from home."

"This is really interesting. I never expected we would encounter something like this."

Ito Tomo and Katsura Shin also became interested at this time, as they had never encountered a situation where someone ran away from home before.

Unexpectedly, they ran into Takayanagi Ichiro today while bringing him here. He's truly their lucky star.

They are very well-behaved and adorable at home, and never thought about running away from home.

However, after watching too much TV or movies, I also know that running away from home is a fun thing to do.

They can't experience it themselves, but they can see other people running away from home, which is also a kind of experience.

“Running away from home is quite normal for some rich girls, but what is the social status of her family? You should be troubled by this kind of thing.”

Some young ladies do indeed like to run away from home because they dislike the oppressive atmosphere there; this was the first time Takayanagi Ichiro had encountered this.

However, excluding the young lady, Takayanagi Ichiro also met another one.

That's Rinka Oki, a high school girl, who's currently helping out at Kotonoha Katsura's house with her mother.

Chapter 643 The Overbearing Old Father

"I don't know much about this, because I'm still a primary school student."

I don't know much about the adult world, but I received this letter.

Faced with Ichiro Takayanagi's question, Megumi Ito gave an answer and even produced a letter, which was the limit of what she could do.

Just as Ito Megumi herself said, she is still just an elementary school student and can't do much more.

Takayanagi Ichiro inherited this personality trait from a letter written by Kataoka Renka's father to her. In the letter, Kataoka Renka's father asked her to return to the family, as there were some things he needed to discuss with her.

Furthermore, they gave Kataoka Renka time to think and did not say that they would take Kataoka Renka away immediately.

However, if Kataoka Renka insists on staying with the theater troupe, her honest father will come to ask her to go home, which could lead to some unpleasant situations.

"Big brother, is this matter complicated?"

Before Ito Megumi could even ask Ito Tomokazu and Katsura Shin, she couldn't hold back any longer. After all, they had brought Takayanagi Ichiro with them today, and they intended to help solve the problem.

If the problem is truly difficult and exceeds Takayanagi Ichiro's capabilities, then Ito Tomokazu and Katsura Shin will also persuade Ito Megumi to abandon such an idea.

"The problem isn't that complicated; the problem lies with the people."

If I'm not mistaken, the reason this young lady didn't choose to go home is very likely because she's interested in Xiaohui's brother?

"what?"

Upon hearing this, both Ito Tomo and Katsura Shin were somewhat surprised, but they were even more excited.

Coming here, they not only saw the rehearsal and performance of a stage play, but now they can also see the story of running away from home, and even see love and hate. It's quite exciting for these elementary school students.

"Does Sister Lianhua like my brother?"

Megumi Ito was also quite surprised. She tilted her head and thought for a moment before giving her opinion.

"That seems a bit impossible. Neither Sister Lianhua nor my brother have taken any action in this regard."

Because Ito Megumi lived with some adults, her ability to read people was much better than that of some elementary school students.

Kataoka Renka and her brother Ito Tamanosuke don't seem to have any problems in this regard, but now Ito Megumi doesn't seem to be suspicious of Takayanagi Ichiro, which is really a bit of a dilemma.

"This kind of thing definitely can't be said directly, after all, one is the head of the troupe, and the other is a member who has only been in the troupe for a short time, and is a member who often makes mistakes."

If their relationship were made public, it would be seen as your brother protecting Kataoka Renka, which would damage your brother's reputation.

After hearing Takayanagi Ichiro's explanation, Ito Tomokazu and Katsura Shin felt a little confused, but Ito Megumi understood.

"If Sister Lianhua doesn't leave our troupe, will it cause other problems?"

At this moment, Ito Megumi was a little worried about him. Of course, he was happy that his brother was able to fall in love, but Kataoka Renka's identity was not simple. She was definitely a rich heiress.

It's a bit strange that such a young lady would become a member of a theater troupe, and it's even stranger that she would continue to date her brother.

"It's not that it won't cause other problems, but rather that problems have already arisen."

No sooner had Takayanagi Ichiro finished speaking than the theater door was opened and two men entered.

One of the men was dressed casually, but his aura was intimidating. Of course, this applies to ordinary people.

Someone like Ichiro Takayanagi would only be perceived as having certain flaws, suggesting a lack of inner confidence.

The other man was dressed very well, in a suit and tie, and looked like a secretary.

"dad."

The sudden intrusion of these two men brought the performance on stage to a halt.

Kataoka Renka, who had been making mistakes and being tolerated all along, suddenly spoke up and revealed the man's identity—it was actually her father.

Kataoka Renka was completely taken aback, because there was still some time before the deadline.

Her father arrived so quickly that she didn't have time to think about it at all.

"Lianhua, I've come to take you home."

The man walking in front spoke with a strong voice, and all the members on stage heard him, and then all eyes fell on Kataoka Renka.

"I feel like I've seen this man somewhere before; he looks somewhat familiar."

"I think I saw him in the newspaper or on TV. I remember he was the president of a group."

"If that's the case, then Kataoka Renka is the daughter of a large corporation, yet she's come here to become a small-time actress."

"Could it be that she ran away from home but failed, and now her father has found her and come to take her home at this time?"

Some of the theater troupe members on stage were whispering among themselves; after all, they were all a little curious about something like this.

Kataoka Hanshiro's identity is quite formidable; if he really wanted to fight, this theater troupe could be wiped out in no time.

"Dad, it's not time yet, why did you suddenly come here?"
