We must take Yukino away from this chaotic, trashy band and these trashy people before she's brainwashed by them.
"She's just Yukino's older sister. It's not a big deal that she wants Yukino to leave the band."
Just as Haruno was deciding to force Yukino to get the three of them out of there without saying a word, Kamiya Yu briefly explained the situation to Akane and then asked:
"Akane, may I borrow your name?"
"...Huh? Sure, but how do I do it?"
Akane didn't hesitate at all; she trusted Yu completely.
“Well,” Kamiya Yu glanced at Yukinoshita Haruno, who had suddenly become aggressive, and shook his head. He could tell at a glance that the other party did not actually have the authority to make decisions. In the end, in the eyes of parents who have a strong desire for control, there is no difference between college students and high school students.
Even if he could patiently explain the situation to Yukino Yukinoshita, it would only be a waste of time and breath. It's better to resolve the issue directly in the shortest amount of time.
“Talking to her is pointless. I’ll just talk to her parents directly. Shiranui, get me Yukino’s phone.”
Without a second thought, Shirou reached into Yukino's pocket and handed it to her, saying, "How about you unlock the password?"
She spoke so matter-of-factly, with a very ordinary expression. Bewitched by Masuzu's performance, Yukino, who was still trembling, unlocked the fingerprint lock. She then saw Masuzu hand the phone to Akane, who was now closer to Yu than her, and Akane then handed the phone to Yu.
This perfectly synchronized sequence of actions looked as if it had been rehearsed beforehand, and Yukino's opinion had not been sought at all.
What Yang Nai saw instantly filled her with terror and threw her into a panic:
"No! What are you doing? Stop! This is a crime! Stop now and there's still hope!"
She saw that Kamiya Yu was fumbling with Yukino's phone book, seemingly about to call their parents, which was clearly an attempt to kill Yukino!
If it were just a matter of her perspective, even if she were to kick out those people who were trying to corrupt Yukino, at least when reporting to her mother, she could downplay the situation and say that Yukino's band actually had no problems, but was disbanded because it had no value to her.
But if this boy in front of her, who neither cares for Yukino nor knows how to be patient or understand the unspoken rules of adulthood, were to call her mother directly, everything would be over. He would definitely anger her so much that she would drag Yukino back to Chiba and confine her!
The little freedom that Yukino had fought so hard to gain would be taken back!
However, just as Yukino was about to rush over and grab the phone, she saw Kurokawa Akane stand in front of her with a slightly apologetic expression: "I'm sorry, although I don't quite understand what's going on, please bear with me for a moment, Ms. Yukinoshita?"
Despite being four years older than her, Haruno's stamina, honed only by a life of debauchery, was no match for Akane's obstruction. She could only watch helplessly as Kamiya Yu pressed the dial button on his phone, and couldn't help but shout anxiously:
"What are you doing? Yukino, do you want to be dragged back to your room and grounded by your mother? Don't let him do that!"
Startled by her call, Yukino instinctively took a step forward, but at the same time, Masuzu shook her head slightly at Yukino, causing her to slow down. (iv)
Meanwhile, watching Yukinoshita's loud outburst, Kamiya Yu, having successfully dialed the number with the help of Akane and Masuzu, ignored her completely. In that brief moment, he had already figured out a bit about her personality. (8)
At least, Yukinoshita Haruno, like her sister, was actually very afraid of their mother.
It was also thanks to Yukinoshita's thoughtless remark that he was able to decide whether to call the other person's father or mother, since it would be most convenient to speak directly with the person who was truly the head of the family.
Seeing Kamiya Yu turn on speakerphone, Hinano fell silent in an instant. 3.
There was absolutely no need for anyone to warn her; once the call connected, she had no choice but to remain completely silent.
Although things are already pretty much at their worst—Yukino is definitely not going to survive—if she dares to speak up, things will only get worse.
By keeping quiet, she could avoid being scolded by her mother for her incompetence and punishment, and could even try to help rescue Yukino later. (5)
But if she is here but still can't stop Kamiya Yu's actions from being exposed, then she won't even have the strength to help Yukino in the future.
Thinking this, her face stung with bitterness and pain. Yukinoshita Haruno's gaze was almost murderous as she stared coldly at Kamiya Yu.
She will definitely get her revenge after this is over.
The entire room fell silent for a moment.
There was only a single beep when the number was dialed, followed by the voice of a graceful and elegant lady from the other end of the line: "Explain yourself, Yukino."
Before I saw the person, I heard his voice first.
The other person's dignified voice, though speaking to his daughter, was extremely reserved, filled with an emotion that was far more superior and mature than Yukinoshita's, and overflowing with a desire for control.
Moreover, she seemed to have everything under control.
In her mind, anyone who dared to secretly go and play in a band must have been confronted by her eldest daughter, which is why they would tremblingly call back to report and beg for forgiveness.
Otherwise, her youngest daughter wouldn't dare to talk to her at all.
However, the next second, her abundant desire for control was shattered completely in an instant with Kamiya Yu's words:
"—Well then, let me introduce myself. My name is Kamiya Yu, and I am the leader of the band your daughter joined, Ms. Yukinoshita."
A possibility never imagined.
The male voice coming from her youngest daughter's phone shattered Yuuyoshi's composure, which was far away in Chiba, along with the shock that made her face change drastically. The shattered glass could never be pieced back together.
Her expression changed repeatedly, and countless possibilities flashed through her mind in an instant.
After quickly ruling out kidnapping, extortion, and the machinations of hostile forces, he paused for only a few seconds before regaining his composed tone and speaking in a very condescending manner:
"Are young people these days so rude that they don't even know the most basic manners? I heard that the other members of Yukino Band are also students educated by Hiratsuka Shizuka. Now it seems that I have to question her competence as a teacher."
He neither asked what was going on, nor did he express any feelings directly towards Kamiya Yu.
Her remarks can be interpreted as either a warning to Kamiya Yu, implying that she would go to the school and affect his future student life, or simply a magnanimous lady lamenting the low quality of today's younger generation.
Regardless of how you interpret it, these words would be extremely threatening to any high school student, instantly transforming their rebellious attitude into one of obsequiousness and fear.
After all, even if a child comes from a well-connected family and doesn't need to fear being influenced by Yukinoshita's mother, they will still be notified by their parents and will likely be reprimanded by them, which is terrifying for a child.
Coincidentally, Kamiya Yu is neither a high school student nor has parents.
Kamiya Yuu completely ignored Yukinoshita's mother's threatening words, which instead of responding directly to him.
They're talking about what's going on on the other side, and he's talking about what's going on on the other side.
When talking to these business people, the most important thing is to avoid letting them control the pace of the conversation.
At this moment, Kamiya Yu coldly spoke to himself:
"I'll give you two choices now."
"First, if you don't allow your daughter to play in a band, then I will cover her accommodation and living expenses for the rest of her high school years. You can cut it off as you please. If you are willing to make a scene at school with your daughter to force her to transfer and damage the reputation of the Yukinoshita family, then so be it. Just come to Tokyo and take her away yourself."
"Second, let go of your daughter who is no longer a child. Let her form a band in Tokyo with the apple of the Natsukawa family’s eye and Kurokawa Akane, the star actor promoted by the LALALAI Theater Company. You will be responsible for all expenses, including the ticket requirements for the band’s first three live performances and the cost of purchasing all the instruments for the band. You will not interfere with any of your daughter’s affairs in the band afterward."
The other side remained silent for almost three minutes.
This time, even with a hundred schemes in mind, Yukinoshita's mother could no longer use the threat of facing a high school student to pressure Kamiya Yu. She understood that although she didn't know if Kamiya Yu had any background, his courage and understanding were definitely not at the level of a normal high school student.
She can't easily control them.
It's basically impossible to control the pace and take control of the conversation now.
This man understood the psychology of a businesswoman like her all too well. He knew that for someone like her, profit was the most important thing, not talking about feelings, mother-daughter affection, or that her daughter also had freedom.
The conditions offered by Kamiya Yu were indeed tempting to her.
In those brief three-minute pause, she had already grabbed another phone to call Hiratsuka Shizuka and learned the names and physical characteristics of Natsukawa Masuzu and Kurokawa Akane.
8. Although Hiratsuka Shizuka comes from a wealthy and powerful family, she is unrestrained and has no sense of who is who, nor has she investigated Natsukawa Masuzu's family background.
After being reminded and receiving her name, Lady Yukinoshita quickly learned about Natsukawa Masuzu's family background.
Qi once lived in Japan, but later went to Sweden to develop her career. There, she started a large company with business dealings with Japan and has extensive connections and resources in both countries. The person who achieved this success is Natsukawa Masaki's father.
Although he doesn't have the status of a member of parliament, he is at least more wealthy than the entire Yukinoshita family combined.
Since Natsukawa Masuzu's identity is legitimate, Kamiya Yu certainly wouldn't lie about the identity of another member. Kurokawa Akane is definitely a person with a bright future.
3. Lady Yukinoshita was utterly captivated.
(iv) However, she still tried to gain more.
4. Moreover, if she were to give up so easily, it would be as if she were being manipulated by Kamiya Yu, which would be very detrimental to the future. If possible, it would be best for her daughter to lead such a well-connected band.
2. The resources that leaders and those being led receive are completely different.
Therefore, after a moment's thought, Lady Yukinoshita began to speak:
"The apple of the eye of the Xia Chuan family, a future Best Actress in the acting world, while my daughter is a member of a politician and a member of a construction company. So, what is your identity? What gives you the right to be with them?"
Unearthing the inferiority complex in Kamiya Yu's heart, she had just thought about it and realized that there were no powerful people with the surname Kamiya in Japan now. Regardless of whether Kamiya Yu had any influential relatives, his immediate parents were definitely not very prominent.
Men are naturally concerned about their image, and they are even more prone to sensitivity and low self-esteem during puberty. If she can make Kamiya Yu feel a little inferior, she can then perfectly control him.
Furthermore, Kamiya Yu's reaction this time can reflect to some extent how important Yukino is to him.
If he's in a hurry to prove himself, it means that Yukino isn't actually that bad in his heart. His previous nonchalant tone of calling her "your daughter" was just a lie, which would be perfect.
However, no sooner had Lady Yukinoshita uttered her calculated words than she heard an utterly astonished voice from the other end of the phone:
"Is that how you talk to your daughter's boss?"
After saying that, Kamiya Yu hung up the phone with a click.
All that remained was Mrs. Yukinoshita's astonished expression.
The phone call began and ended with her astonishment; from beginning to end, she was constantly losing and never gained the upper hand.
Yes, Yu Kamiya did eventually give his statement.
But this made Lady Yukinoshita regret it, wishing she hadn't made that final test... Yes, regardless of Kamiya Yu's family background, he was the one who built this band, he was the boss of everyone in the band, and he had the power to control everyone. Even if Yukino left, those two would still be there.
This is enough.
Because now it's their Yukino family that needs each other and is asking for help, rather than the other party begging Yukino to join. Although this may not be true, perhaps the other party actually values Yukino very much.
Even if Kamiya Yu doesn't care about Yukino, perhaps at least one of Natsukawa Masuzu and Kurokawa Akane will be affected by Yukino leaving the band. In that case, Lady Yukinoshita will have bargaining power.
However, the problem is that Kamiya Yu has no flaws.
Is there any important possibility regarding Yukino? Yes!
But would Lady Yukinoshita dare to gamble? Would she be able to gamble? No, she wouldn't dare, and she couldn't!
By obediently following Kamiya Yu's instructions and being suppressed by him, she can obtain stable income and a future where the Yukinoshita family will become even stronger.
But if you go against Kamiya Yu's wishes based on a mere guess, he might just let Yukino leave the band without a second thought.
At that time, it won't be a mutual destruction, but at most a lose-lose situation. However, Kamiya Yu can afford to suffer such injuries, but Yukinoshita's family cannot.
The weights on either side of the scale are so unfair... she simply can't afford to gamble.
"Kamiya Yu..."
In her house in Chiba, Mrs. Yukinoshita's eyes were deep and thoughtful; she had remembered this person.
Not by the standard of an "interesting young person," but by the standard of someone who overpowered her business rivals!
