Tokyo: They say it's just dating, but they're serious about it.

Although Ru You gained some fame because of "One-Punch Man", it was not enough because the most exciting part was gone... The fans were very angry and needed to be compensated.

Katsuhiko didn't refuse. After arriving home, he handed over the eunuch's comic book draft to Yuma Kamisaki and told her to handle it herself.

Currently, the time limit for the cheat ability is still locked on Hitomi Kuroki, and it still has half a day left before it expires. Time doesn't pass when he's not with her.

This means that if she suddenly disappears, then this cheat will be useless. Not only will she lose the gold coins that can be exchanged for works, but she will also lose the [Recovery Potion] and [Focus Potion]. Therefore, the lock time must be fixed on someone who can be seen at any time.

Katsuhiko parked the car on the side of the road in front of the convenience store. After the ladies got out of the car, he took out his mobile phone and asked Tanaka Yutaka for the phone number of the hotel where Kuroki Hitomi was staying. After dialing, a hotel receptionist transferred him to Kuroki Hitomi's room.

"Hitomi Kuroki-senpai, how are you feeling today?" Katsuhiko asked, tilting his head as he looked at the convenience store.

The seven ladies gathered in the sofa area of ​​the convenience store, and Haruko and her mother, Mrs. Saionji, were also in the store. The seven ladies then surrounded the two of them...

"I don't quite understand. What does President Takenaka mean?"

Because of the holiday, and no need to film, Hitomi Kuroki sent her manager home to rest. She had just finished showering at the hotel, wearing only a white towel, and was sitting on the large bed with clean white sheets, drinking juice and watching TV. The TV programs were about entertainment gossip, various scandals, and scenes of catching cheaters in the act.

There's also a photo of myself and Katsuhiko sitting on a bench in Shiba Park, seemingly kissing from an off-center angle, with Tokyo Tower in the background. It looks quite romantic. I'll look for it in a magazine later, cut it out, and keep it...

"You seem to be in a good mood. Want to come out for a drink?" Sheng Yan continued looking at the convenience store.

The five ladies, dressed in maternity clothes, had already sat down.

Meanwhile, Eiyo and Yumi were talking to Haruko, and Mrs. Saionji was waving and negotiating with them.

Then, Yumi suddenly shoved Haruko on the shoulder, and Haruko fell down onto the sofa.

Mrs. Saionji hesitated for a moment, then shoved towards Yumi Kanzaki's chest. Yumi Kanzaki dodged, and Mrs. Saionji stumbled and bumped into Eiyo, who fell onto the coffee table. She then jumped up and shoved Haruko, who had just stood up, towards the chest, causing Haruko to fall back onto the sofa.

Finally, Mrs. Saionji shoved Eiyo and Yumi Kanzaki, but Eiyo and Yumi ignored Mrs. Saionji and instead repeatedly shoved Haruko... Oriko stopped Yumi Kanzaki's motorcycle in front of the store. Before she had even stopped the motorcycle, she rushed in, jumped up and kicked Mrs. Saionji in the butt. Mrs. Saionji stumbled and, in her panic, grabbed Yumi Kanzaki's hair, pulling her hair and throwing it at Haruko, who had just fallen onto the sofa.

Eiyo and Oriko seemed to be shocked and rushed over at the same time, then tripped and fell on top of them. Haruko, who was at the bottom, also seemed to be angry and grabbed Eiyo and Oriko's hair with her left and right hands respectively... The five of them started to fight each other.

The other pregnant women who were sitting on the sidelines eating sunflower seeds and watching the commotion quickly stood up, left the sofa area, and all five of them turned to look in this direction.

Katsuhiko beckoned to them, signaling them to come over...

Customers shopping in the convenience store also stopped and watched...

“You’re not going to ask me out, are you? That’s not allowed,” Hitomi Kuroki said with a grin. “Like the ending of the movie we’re filming right now, my life is exciting, I don’t want to die like this.”

"You have to visit the set tomorrow. That's all, bye."

"Hello? Hello... You really hung up?" Kuroki Hitomi stared blankly at the microphone for a moment, then chuckled, "How annoying..."

Meanwhile, just as Katsuhiko hung up the phone, Mikoto, Sayuri, Kotoha, and Masako Shiraki walked over, glancing back at the convenience store. Of course, Yuma Kanzaki was already home with her manga manuscripts…

Katsuhiko asked, "What's the situation inside?"

Sayuri smiled slightly and whispered, "Eiyo and Yumi wanted to collect 'husband usage fees' from Haruko, but Mrs. Saionji disagreed... and that's how they started fighting."

Qin Ye asked softly, "Honey, should we go and try to stop them? It's not right to hit an elder like that..."

Qinye actually wanted to join in, but unfortunately she was already pregnant and should be more mature; she couldn't afford to be so reckless.

Furthermore, she was also a little worried that Yingdai's antics might leave a bad impression on her husband. After all, among all her friends, she was closest to Yingdai, and she was quite concerned about her. Also, Yingdai seemed to have become somewhat anxious because she wasn't pregnant…

“It’s nothing serious,” Katsuhiko said, getting out of the car. “Let them fight for now, we’ll go to Maruyoshi yakiniku for some yakiniku, and we’ll pack some for them later…”

The group walked to Marukichi BBQ restaurant, ate, and then walked back with their packed meals.

Eiyo and Kanzaki Yumi weren't in the shop; only Haruko, Oriko, and Mrs. Saionji, who looked regretful, were there.

A few minutes after Katsuhiko left with five pregnant women, the five women who were fighting suddenly realized that Katsuhiko was gone. They assumed that Katsuhiko was angry and stopped fighting.

Eiyo and Kanzaki Yumi originally only targeted Haruko, after all, their husbands had said that they would treat everyone equally and that it was okay to bully her.

But somehow, she also hit Haruko's mother, which changed the nature of the situation. It would be seen as rudeness, and she wouldn't be a proper wife...

Feeling too guilty and embarrassed to apologize in person because of her status as his legal wife, the two went home early to discuss the matter of apologizing.

Of the remaining three, Haruko and Mrs. Saionji dared not leave.

Oriko wanted to run away with Kanzaki Yumi, but thinking about her future happiness, she forced herself to hold back. After all, she was just an accessory, not even as good as Haruko! However, she didn't regret it too much. Yumi-chan was her benefactor and boss, so she should help her.

Mrs. Saionji should be going back to her rented apartment. The reason she came here is to ask Katsuhiko if he has any solo songs. The two songs Katsuhiko left behind before he went to Karuizawa were sung by a group, but they didn't get much of a response after being put on the charts.

She felt that group songs couldn't showcase Haruko's abilities, and besides, singing with a group didn't earn her much.

I just wanted to discuss with Katsuhiko whether Haruko could go solo.

In recent months, Tanaka Yutaka has been busy filming movies and has forgotten about Haruko. Because Tanaka Yutaka has a yakuza background and often shouts "I'll chop off your little finger," Mrs. Saionji doesn't dare to discuss it with him.

As for Haruko, she was originally staying here, and had been staying at Kotoha's house.

I had just spent an unforgettable night with Katsuhiko two months ago, and now it's been more than two months since we last saw each other. It's really hard. I guess it's because I have nowhere to vent my anger. I was pushed and shoved by Kanzaki Yumi and Eiyo, and they even demanded "husband usage fees." In the end, they even hit their own mother. The three of them beat up the two of us. I can't stand this kind of humiliation.

She wasn't particularly afraid to begin with, since Katsuhiko had said he would treat everyone equally and that it didn't matter how the wives fought, as long as they were careful. However, Haruko couldn't help but feel nervous because of Oriko and Mrs. Saionji's anxiety.

The three of them bowed to Katsuhiko together to apologize, acknowledging their mistakes and asking for forgiveness.

Katsuhiko didn't take it seriously at all.

Little Lily perked up, one hand supporting her lower back and the other her belly, and stood in front of the three of them, tilting her chin up as she gave them a lecture.

"You know you were wrong!" "Will you do it again?" "Okay, since you promise not to do it again, I'll forgive you on behalf of my husband!" "Also, Qingzi, transfer that 'husband usage fee' to my bank card. If they ask you for it again, just say you transferred it to me. Just give them the price you just mentioned, which is 1% of your future monthly salary."

Of course, this applies to Oriko's situation.

Sayuri had previously inquired with Yumi Kanzaki, and it was Yumi who paid her salary. Oriko's family situation wasn't good. Her husband, with whom she already had a strained relationship, was incapacitated; he had no feeling below his navel and needed constant care. She was the sole breadwinner for the family—her parents, in-laws, husband, and her elementary school-aged child…

It's not easy for a woman to work hard on her own. And with her husband at home being like that, she'll break down if she doesn't have someone to comfort her...

Although Xiaobaihe was unhappy, she couldn't bear to charge her again.

The matter of the apology was put to rest, and Sayuri and the many other ladies who had eaten and drunk their fill sat on the sofa and went to chat.

Then, Mrs. Saionji carefully explained the purpose of her visit.

Katsuhiko happened to be free in Karuizawa when he got a lot of gold coins from Sayuri that could be exchanged for songs.

He first redeemed ten songs, wrote the lyrics and music on the spot, and then called Tanaka Yutaka to ask him about his plans for Haruko's career path.

Tanaka Yutaka originally planned to let Haruko follow the same path as Kanzaki Yumi as a singing superstar, but unfortunately, without songs, she couldn't do anything and could only hang out with girl groups for now and show her face.

He stated that the lack of high-quality original songs is a problem, but once there are songs, everything will be fine.

I also took the opportunity to report on Yumi Kanzaki, saying that during the last two months of filming in Karuizawa, Yumi Kanzaki didn't record any songs at all, nor did she care about the "Aurora Five Girls". She spent all her time sitting in the office, either reading manga or thinking about how to prank Yuma Kanzaki.

She even secretly kept dead rats in her drawers. It's summer now, do you know how smelly a dead rat is...? Some employees thought someone had died in her office and were so scared they called the police...

Chapter 145, Part 1, Chapter 55, White Night Walk, Published

Haruko's mother, Mrs. Saionji, got a satisfactory result from Katsuhiko. She secretly winked at Haruko, politely declined Mikoto, Sayuri, and the others' invitation to stay for a takeaway meal, and left alone with a smile.

At this point, only Sayuri, Mikoto, Masayuki Shiraki, and Kotoha, all dressed in maternity clothes, remained in the convenience store.

The other two with normal bellies are Haruko and Oriko.

Haruko blushed and kept secretly glancing at Katsuhiko's face, her eyes staring straight at him, as if to say, "You know what I want to do, but I won't tell you."

Oriko also stood in an inconspicuous corner, glancing at Katsuhiko's face with her head down, looking as if she hadn't seen him for a day.

Katsuhiko was thinking about how to quickly use up the time he was focused on Hitomi Kuroki while filming on set tomorrow.

"Haruko-sensei, Oriko-sensei, aren't you hungry?" Mikoto asked with a smile, gesturing to the takeout food on the coffee table. "Sit down and eat, you'll need energy after you eat!"

Xiaobaihe smiled and said, "You must be tired and hungry after such an intense fight. Don't be shy, eat it all."

Surrounded by several people watching them like this, even if they were really hungry, they couldn't move an inch. They just lowered their heads and stammered, not knowing what to say, too embarrassed to refuse.

Finally, at Kotoha's suggestion, they decided to pack the food and take it home to eat, since Eiyo and Yumi, who had run away, hadn't eaten yet either.

Mikoto, Sayuri, and Masayuki said they would be working at the convenience store and wouldn't be going back.

Seeing that their arrangement made sense and that they were still having a good time, Katsuhiko took the packed food and left the convenience store with Kotoha, Haruko, and Oriko, walking back to Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden.

Haruko and Oriko followed behind Kotoha and Katsuhiko like submissive wives.

Katsuhiko, mindful of the principle of treating everyone equally, didn't neglect either of them. He had each of them carry a takeout meal, then lightly patted their bottoms and said, "Go home and eat. I'll be home after I finish eating. I'll go to Eiyo's house; I reckon Yumi will be there too."

Haruko was a shy person to begin with, and when Katsuhiko took a picture of her in the street, she ran away quickly.

Oriko wasn't particularly shy, after all, her child was already in elementary school. However, she was still terrified on the street, as if she had been hit in the gut and her legs went weak. She leaned on Kotoha for a while to recover before chasing after Haruko, who had already run away.

Now only Kotoha and Katsuhiko were left. Kotoha took Katsuhiko's arm and strolled down the street, feeling happy. Unfortunately, time passed too quickly, and before they knew it, they had arrived at their doorstep.

Out of concern for the baby's well-being, and given that she was only three weeks pregnant, it was not advisable for her to have overly stimulating sexual activity, so Qinye had no choice but to return home.

“Oh, right, honey,” Qinye suddenly remembered Yingdai’s question as she pushed open the door, and continued, “Today is Wednesday, Yingdai’s birthday. Could you take care of her a little more? She’s been a bit depressed lately.”

Yingdai wasn't exactly depressed, but she was certainly feeling anxious.

Sayuri, Mikoto, and Masako are already showing, their bellies are quite big. Kotoha and Yuma have also changed into matching maternity clothes.

But there was no sign of anything in her own belly.

Looking back, in my eyes, they were just like Little Lily, only slightly higher than me.

That cunning Mikoto is at best an equal. Kotoha is just someone you can casually tug at with your ear. As for Yuma Kamisaki, she can fight, but what good is that? She'll still have to call you "older sister" even if she arrives late.

As for Shiraki Masayuki, a woman who doesn't care about her reputation, she's now penniless and has resigned from the hospital. She spends her days loafing around at a convenience store. What makes her comparable to me?

But things are different now. There are seven legal wives in total, and five of them are pregnant. They've all become arrogant, and they stand in front of the convenience store all day, rubbing their bellies and showing off.

Yingdai went to the hospital for multiple checkups, and her body showed no abnormalities; in fact, she was healthier than most people. So why couldn't she conceive? Could her health be the reason...?

The doctor said, "Take it slow, don't rush it. After all, you're over thirty, not as young as a girl. And you've never had a child before. The more anxious you are, the less likely you are to get it..."

How could I not be anxious about something this important? I've lost every ounce of my standing...

Yingdai has been too afraid to look at her birth date lately. The number 32 carries a great terror, making her hands and feet cold and her whole body tremble.

Meanwhile, Kanzaki Yumi, who wasn't pregnant yet, seemed completely unconcerned. How did she manage that? She said she was still young, only twenty-two, and had plenty of time…

This made the British agent even more anxious.

Monday belongs to Sayuri, Tuesday to Mikoto, Wednesday to Eiyo, Thursday to Kotoha, Friday to Kanzaki Yumi, Saturday to Kanzaki Yuma, and Sunday to Shiraki Masako.

Since five of them were already pregnant, replacements arrived as well: Haruko, Oriko, and Hitomi Kuroki. Hitomi Kuroki's little manager is also quite suspicious. And then there's the Aurora Five girls; although nothing concrete has happened yet, it's not far off...

If any of the next nine women were to find out they were pregnant, I, as their legal wife, would lose all face, be unable to hold my head high, and be unable to stand up straight...

At Yingdai's home.

Kanzaki Yumi was indeed at Eiyo's house. The two of them were quite hesitant about offending their elders, since they had never seen Katsuhiko behave in a disrespectful or excessive manner towards them since they met.
