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

Little Lily was still hiding behind the sofa, like a statue waiting for her husband...

Mikoto asked softly, "Sayuri-chan, have you decided what to do?"

"I don't want to think about it anymore, I'll just rush into the room and find out."

"Alright..." Mikoto secretly decided that she would risk her life to prevent Sayuri from being beaten...

At this moment, in the ramen shop next door.

Katsuhiko and Yumi Kanzaki sat facing each other. Katsuhiko slurped up noodles with big mouthfuls, while Yumi Kanzaki ate quite "quietly".

Just now in the recording studio, she was blessed by so many people, and she had a feeling that "Katsuhiko was always meant to be hers".

Honestly, I really don't want to be disturbed...

"Hey," Kanzaki Yumi lightly nudged Katsuhiko's shin with her toe, "If I don't cooperate with Sayuri, will you hate me?"

"What do I care about your women's business?"

"What do you think is good about me?" Kanzaki Yumi took off her shoes and stepped on Katsuhiko's leg with her toes.

"It's not clear yet," Katsuhiko said, continuing to drink his noodles without looking up. "Let's explore it in the guest room!"

“Disgusting…” Kanzaki Yumi kicked Katsuhiko again with her bare foot, then rolled her eyes and continued, “I’m going to book a room at another hotel. Do you have a problem with that?”

"Whatever, it's not like I'm paying for the room."

“I like your casual side.” Kanzaki Yumi laughed, her shoulders shaking, then continued, “In that case, I’m relieved…”

The hotel next door, the agonizing wait of more than twenty minutes.

Sayuri's legs went numb from hiding, and she whispered, "Sister Mikoto, go check next door, have they finished eating?"

Mikoto was also a little confused, so she rubbed her legs and walked to the door next door. Katsuhiko and Kanzaki Yumi weren't there, only the cleaning staff and two office workers having lunch...

Mikoto was stunned for a long time before finally realizing that Kanzaki Yumi had not only tricked her, but also tricked Kanzaki Yuma...

Of course, I'm used to Katsuhiko's "inaction." He's said it several times already: he'll only cooperate, not help...

Mikoto gritted her teeth in anger; she had completely betrayed the trust she had placed in her!

"Little Lily, they've finished eating and run away."

"Huh!?" Sayuri jumped up, looking completely bewildered.

At this moment, Kanzaki Yumi and Katsuhiko had already booked rooms at the hotel next door.

Like a thief, Kanzaki Yumi pushed open the door, quickly pushed Katsuhiko into the room, peeked out the door to glance into the hallway, and then quickly closed and locked the door.

"You've offended everyone; things are definitely not going to be easy for you in the future," Sheng Yan said sarcastically.

"As long as things are better now, that's enough."

Kanzaki Yumi grinned, revealing a row of white teeth, and jumped onto Katsuhiko, wrapping her legs around his waist and her arms around his neck. She then pouted, her eyes sparkling with laughter, and said, "Let them go catch Yuma! Yuma's waiting under the bed, she's lonely. We have plenty of time, let's take a leisurely bath first, there's a massage chair here… Forget about your wife! I'm amazing…"

Even though it's dishonest, as long as I'm happy... Sister Mikoto, I'm sorry, I'm no longer loyal to you.

When this started, Xiaobaihe from the hotel next door was "furious".

"What a cunning woman!" Little Lily's face turned red with anger as she waved her little fists and shouted, "But it also excites me! Now that's a challenge!"

Xiaosaihe's first reaction was that Kanzaki Yumi had given Eiyo "false" information.

"Um, what should we do next?" Mikoto gritted her teeth inwardly. However, it was also a good thing. The second time, she didn't have to be "polite" to Kanzaki Yumi. She would catch her "out of the loop" right when she was at her most...that moment.

By the way, wouldn't arresting people like this lead to lawsuits for violating their privacy rights?

Definitely not. We're all family, why should we speak like strangers?

“Next, the four of us will… wait a minute!” Xiaobaihe was taken aback. “Why do I have a feeling that she already knows?”

Mikoto's face froze.

Chapter 84 is so awkward.

"That's true,"

Mikoto, facing a "trust crisis," immediately pretended to think, glancing at Sayuri's suspicious expression, and then guessed, "Could there be a spy among us? Who could it be? Your husband? Eiyo-chan? Or Kotoha-chan? It's so hard to guess..."

“First, let’s rule out my husband,” Xiaobaihe pouted, looking very conflicted. “He said he wouldn’t help anyone, he’d just be a tool.”

Mikoto cautiously asked, "Then only Eiyo and Kotoha are left, right?"

Xiaobaihe frowned and said, "They don't seem to have any reason."

“That’s true…” Mikoto subconsciously bit her finger, then said, “Could it be that I accidentally let it slip?”

"That's about it. Even I can't be fooled by Qinye." Xiaobaihe looked very regretful as she walked out of the hotel and said, "I'll just have to find another opportunity next time. I'm determined to catch her this time."

Mikoto breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly followed Sayuri out of the hotel. Her pager, hidden in her pocket, vibrated; it was probably a message from Kanzaki Yuma.

Mikoto didn't dare look anymore. It seemed that Ms. Kanzaki Yuma, who was waiting in the room, probably didn't know yet... She'd tell her when she got back to the convenience store...

At this moment, after receiving the coded message from Mikoto that "Katsuhiko and Yumi have arrived downstairs," Yuma Kanzaki immediately put away her manga and waited quietly.

She also had earphones handy, mainly in case someone asked, so she could easily say she didn't hear anything, since she had earphones with her...

However, even a few minutes of waiting was quite agonizing... She turned on her small desk lamp again and decided to read comics while she waited...

She had watched Naruto several times already. After all, it was a magazine that was shared with other manga, and it only had about a dozen chapters. She had already gotten bored with the plot, which she knew by heart, but the exquisite artwork kept her eyes glued to the screen.

In the scene, even the tree rings on the seemingly insignificant wooden house are drawn with exquisite detail... Any random shot is a beautiful scene...

"Katsuhiko-kun must be a very serious person. Should I switch places with him and take the opportunity to become his apprentice? I'm kind of looking forward to the switch..."

Yuma Kanzaki became more and more mesmerized as she watched, and her heart pounded as she thought about the incredible scene she was about to witness.

After what happened in the room...

Sheng Yan pushed the half-empty bottle of mineral water mixed with [Recovery Potion] on the bedside table toward her, then got out of bed to get dressed, saying, "You can't compare to Xiao Baihe."

“Impossible,” Kanzaki Yumi grabbed a bottle of mineral water, blew it down with her eyes still blurry, then shook her head and said, “I won’t give up so easily.”

Just then, the pager on the bedside table went off.

Kanzaki Yumi lazily raised her arm and slapped it onto the pager, glancing at the screen with hazy eyes.

There were more than thirty messages from Yuma Kanzaki.

These are code names that the two sisters developed through repeated exchanges of coded messages, and only they know their meaning.

From the initial "doubt" code, to "where," then to "call back," then "bastard," "despicable," "go to hell," and then more than twenty more codes that were a continuous "I'll kill you" code...

Kanzaki Yumi didn't take it seriously at all, casually tossing the pager back onto the bedside table. After drinking half a bottle of water, she felt energetic again and really wanted to go for another round. Although she felt "heart palpitations" every time, it was super exciting... However, she casually glanced at the alarm clock on the bedside table and found that it was already 5:30 pm.

Her mind went blank for a moment, then she sat up abruptly. "Has time really passed so quickly?"

It seems like nothing was done...

“You fell asleep several times,” Katsuhiko said, having finished dressing. He then took her clothes off the hanger and threw them on her head. “Hurry up and get dressed, let’s go.”

"You must have done a lot of bad things to me while I was sleeping!"

Kanzaki Yumi turned off her incessantly beeping pager, grabbed her clothes and pulled them on, saying, "You have to take responsibility for me, okay? How about we register our marriage tomorrow?"

Yumi Kanzaki decided to keep mentioning "getting married" all the time, hoping that Katsuhiko might just casually agree. Today's experience was amazing; he's the perfect husband candidate, a perfect match...

"There's a press conference tomorrow, I don't have time," Katsuhiko casually replied.

Kanzaki Yumi was taken aback. He didn't need Sayuri to shut him up anymore? Had he gone soft?

Kanzaki Yumi suddenly knelt up, unable to contain her surprise and asking, "What about the day after tomorrow?"

"There will be things to do the day after tomorrow."

"So you just never have time?" Kanzaki Yumi pouted as she got dressed. If she weren't always busy, she would definitely do it again... Then she said, "Take me back to the company! I'll sleep at the company tonight."

She realized she had already "offended" everyone, and if she went to stay at Mikoto's place, Eiyo and Kotoha might be there waiting for her, and she would "break" her promise to cheer up Sayuri together, so Mikoto wouldn't help her anymore... Of course, the biggest danger was Yuzuru, who hit people hard and hurt them a lot... She should avoid them for a few days.

Although it was already 5:30, the time to leave work, Eiyo and Kotoha had not yet left.

Today was so busy. Reporters were blocking the door, and record company representatives came to negotiate. Besides the record company negotiations, they even got cover song licenses. The production team of "Slam Dunk" came too, wanting to get a theme song...

During the negotiations, the British representative adhered to one principle: only grant authorization, not package deals.

The negotiated price was based on Tanaka Yutaka's suggestion: 3% royalties for lyrics and music, 6% royalties for the original CD, a fixed price. After all, it was a song that had successfully charted.

Because she didn't go with Sayuri to catch her husband cheating, she was in a bad mood, which was written all over her face, and she was cold and aloof when negotiating with anyone.

Originally, they thought they could finish the negotiations as soon as possible and maybe even catch the adulterers in time. But as soon as one group left, another group came... The British agent became impatient and stopped being polite.

"Just give me a price. If I'm not satisfied, please leave. But before you leave, I need to tell you that these six songs were created casually by our club president in just one day. In addition, he just created two more songs, which will be put on the charts tonight. Stay tuned! The next time you come in, the price won't be the same!"

Some people turned around and left, some thought it over and over again, but most of them actually chose to take a gamble and stayed to sign the contract. The price was moderate to high, which was reasonable.

The estimated royalties for the lyrics and music are two to three million yen for every 10 copies sold, with an additional 1200 million yen for the two songs from "Slam Dunk".

The prepayment of 50 million yen was deposited into the account on the same day.

As the accountant, Qin Ye was also busy, handling tasks such as bookkeeping, auditing accounts, and preparing invoices...

Tanaka Yutaka was secretly delighted and kept trying to brainwash them: "President Takenaka will be very happy to see you working so hard. Let's continue tomorrow..."

"Please leave!" Yingdai and Qinye said impatiently.

At tomorrow's press conference, Yutaka Tanaka plans to heavily promote Katsuhiko Takenaka's creative talent and also unveil his "Naruto" manga, which will likely trigger another wave of signings...

During a break, Kotoha said, "Eisho-neechan, should we ask Sayuri-chan for the results? I really want to know."

It's already 5:30, it should have been over long ago, but why hasn't Xiaobaihe announced the good news yet?

"What other outcome could there be? They'll probably get counterattacked!"

Sayuri is such a cute little girl; when her head is held down, she can't reach anyone's legs. She's also quite busty, and even when she's angry, she looks adorable. Everyone wants to tease her...

As Eiyo casually remarked, she recalled the last time the two of them bullied Kanzaki Yumi, and how Katsuhiko looked like he was enjoying the show and was even cheering her on from the sidelines!

She then added, "That shameless man also said he wouldn't help anyone."

“If that’s the case, then it makes sense that Sayuri-chan hasn’t called for so long…” Kotoha twirled the pen between her fingers quickly, and continued, “She’s probably home sulking, right?”

"I bet she'll go to Mikoto to complain about her grievances, after all, Mikoto is her best friend!" Eiyo said gloatingly. "That cunning Mikoto, once she's exposed, let's see how she gets out of this mess. It would be good if Sayuri forced her to get a divorce, and I'll take the opportunity to make my move."

"And me too."

"You have to be behind me. After all, you're the one who brought us together. I'm already being very kind by allowing you to."
