They all have hidden attributes!

Makoto Takahashi blinked, puzzled, and asked, "You already know that kissing won't get you pregnant, right?"

"band."

"..."

"I'm going to prepare a gift to celebrate your relationship. See you later."

Maya Uesugi confidently turned and left. Makoto Takahashi watched her retreating figure and smiled silently: "Actually, I knew she would definitely make things difficult for you."

"You two teamed up to bully me?" Tachikami Yuki turned his head and stared at him coldly as he asked.

"You can't guess? I don't believe it."

"You're one of my people now, how can you speak up for someone else?"

"Is there?"

"Really, Cheng-kun, I get jealous very easily."

The two were flirting when Uesugi Maya, who had just left, returned, and the blizzard-like atmosphere dispelled the lingering ambiguity.

She stared at the two intimately, her face cold, and said, "For the sake of the child, you can't tell anyone about your relationship."

"Makoto, let's quit the light music club together." Tachimi Yuki hugged Takahashi Makoto's arm and rubbed against him in a coquettish manner.

"Oh."

Uesugi Maya sneered, her imposing gaze fixed on Takahashi Makoto: "Don't forget what you promised Hanakawa Kaori."

"Sei-kun, what's going on?" Tachikami asked.

An invisible pressure loomed over him, and Makoto Takahashi rubbed his temples in exasperation: "It's complicated, but I can't quit the band."

Seeing his troubled expression, Tachibana Yuki frowned and looked at Uesugi Maya with annoyance: "Even for the sake of Makoto's situation, we can't keep our relationship a secret forever, and everyone here tonight knows about it, you know?"

Maya Uesugi rested her chin on her hand, thought for a moment, then looked up and met Makoto Takahashi's gaze: "The celebration party for the first live performance."

"Okay, I'll keep it a secret until then."

Seeing that he readily agreed, Uesugi Maya gave Tachibana Yuki a provocative sidelong glance, then turned and left arrogantly.

"I'm sorry, thank you."

Makoto Takahashi sighed, meeting Yuki Tatsumi's gaze: "I'm not quite used to being your boyfriend yet, about Maya—"

Before he could finish speaking, Tachibana Yuki raised her index finger to his lips, gently shook her head, and smiled tenderly, saying, "It's okay. I don't know what I should do as your girlfriend either. Let's talk about that later."

Just as Takahashi Makoto was marveling at the young lady's gentleness, Tachibana Yuki wrapped her arms around his neck, stood on tiptoe, and kissed him. Takahashi Makoto instinctively embraced the indescribably soft and delicate body.

In a secluded corner, after reading her newly received email, Uesugi Maya looked up and witnessed the two of them kissing.

She gritted her teeth, stomped her foot in frustration, and left the hotel through the staff entrance.

"It's just a temporary setback. Once I've dealt with the Uesugi family's affairs, I'll be the ultimate victor," Uesugi Maya thought to herself.

Chapter 99 Hell Girl's Declaration

In Makoto Takahashi's view, Hell Girl and Angel are almost synonymous.

Nevertheless, an absolute balance has not been achieved between the two, for example, in terms of priority:

[Hell Girl's Cooking] is greater than [Angel's Bento]

Considering their romantic relationship, [The Angel's Date Invitation] takes precedence over [Hell Girl's Orders].

Interpersonal relationships are inherently complex, and when they involve romance and clubs, they involve three of the four major troubles of student life, not to mention the even more complicated issues of bands.

Thinking about this, Makoto Takahashi suddenly realized that he didn't actually understand what love was at all.

Perhaps it's not a skill, but a kind of courage that requires constant practice?

After the charity gala, Makoto Takahashi and Yuki Tachimi bid farewell to the organizers. Instead of leaving by car, they walked hand in hand along the road near the sea.

Before me stretched the sea under the night sky, the coastal boulevard illuminated by streetlights and car headlights, its gentle curves leading to the lighthouse at the harbor.

A slight breeze picked up, and Shiki's short, golden hair swayed in the wind amidst the fresh scent of the sea rocks.

"Are you still thinking about Xiaoye?" she asked softly.

"It probably ended smoothly."

Makoto Takahashi shook his head and turned to Yuki Tachimi's profile with a gentle gaze: "I really don't know if this is a good thing, but it suits her wishes anyway."

"Isn't this the right time to talk about this?"

Hearing her complaints, Takahashi Makoto curled his lip: "You were the one who brought it up first."

"Weren't you thinking about her just now, Makoto?" Tachimi Yuki looked at him with a suspicious gaze.

"Actually, I'm thinking about what I should do after we start dating, but I feel completely lost."

"Well, actually I originally planned to discuss this with Lengzi after I got home."

Hearing her say that, Takahashi Makoto couldn't help but smile.

Would consulting with Kashima Reiko really be helpful?

"Makoto-kun, your expression is awful." Tachimi Yuki said in a deliberately displeased tone, but his shoulder pressed against hers.

"A date, like going to the movies or something?"

He recalled a scene from a light novel and asked uncertainly, "Or maybe we could go to the aquarium and eat crepes together?"

"It doesn't matter," Tachimi Yuki said with a gentle smile.

She took Makoto Takahashi's hand and walked towards a coffee shop that was still open on the side of the road, looking relaxed and at ease: "I still believe that as long as I spend the same amount of time with Makoto and confirm each other's thoughts and feelings, that is a date. What we do is not important at all."

"Want some coffee?" Takahashi Makoto asked.

"Dessert, dessert."

As he entered the café, the song "Running Towards the Night" was playing inside. Makoto Takahashi was momentarily taken aback when he suddenly heard the band's song outside.

Although there have been no performances yet, the music has already been released on major music platforms, and the revenue will be settled at the end of the month, so it wouldn't be surprising to hear it outside.

As closing time approached, there were only two customers per table in the restaurant.

Tachikawa ordered Darjeeling tea and Black Forest cake, and squeezed onto the same side of the sofa with Takahashi Makoto, unconcerned about her image, putting her legs on his lap.

"If you think about it this way, you can do whatever you want after you start dating, so doesn't it seem like having a girlfriend is pretty good?" she asked with a smile.

A sweeter aroma than cake filled his nostrils. Looking at the pure and innocent face so close to his face, and feeling the touch of high-end stockings in his palm, Makoto Takahashi was completely unable to refute it.

"It's alright, Cheng-kun."

Yuki gazed into his eyes, her gaze sparkling with a genuine and dazzling light, breathtakingly beautiful: "Even if you chose to date me because of your looks, it doesn't matter. You can confirm with me repeatedly that I like you."

"So, it doesn't matter what you look like in front of me."

"If you want, it's okay to be a child."

"No matter what good or bad things happen, I will always stand by your side."

Listening to her gentle voice, a feeling of happiness welled up from his heart like blood gushing out. The ambiguous atmosphere blended into the night, and the two kissed naturally.

A waitress with hair covering her eyes brought over some black tea at the coffee shop. Upon seeing the two of them being intimate, she covered her face with her hands and ran away shyly.

Sweetness welled up in Li Jianxing's heart, and when she walked out of the coffee shop, her face was filled with satisfaction and happiness.

"Want to come to my house?"

"Why are you more anxious than I am?" Takahashi Makoto suddenly felt a little cheated.

"Because Cheng-kun is a man who will take responsibility to the end."

"You're not still thinking of controlling me, are you?"

"Guess?" Tachikami Yuki's lips curled into a mischievous smile.

Is your girlfriend an angel most of the time, only occasionally a little bad? Makoto Takahashi expressed doubt about this.

Considering that Uesugi Maya might come to deliver a gift tonight, he decided not to rush and chose to go home to sleep.

After watching the sea with Tachibana Yuki for a long time, Takahashi Masaya returned to his apartment building in Toshima Ward around midnight.

After saying goodbye to the young lady and watching the black sedan drive away, he turned around and saw Uesugi Maya walking out of the slowly opening elevator.

She wore a simple white T-shirt, paired with khaki casual pants, her long black hair tied in a ponytail, and held a hardcover book in her arms.

"I haven't had dinner yet, want to eat together?" she asked coldly.

“Okay.” Makoto Takahashi nodded in agreement.

The streets of the residential area were deserted late at night. The sound of the trees swaying in the wind added to the tranquility of the summer night. The two walked side by side toward the bustling downtown area of ​​Ikebukuro.

"Are you bringing a book to dinner too?" Makoto Takahashi asked curiously.

"This is a gift for you."

"I really have no interest in things like literature."

"I know."

Maya Uesugi glanced at him with disdain and frowned slightly: "It's a work that can be easily read, just like a light novel."

"Isn't it a bit strange to give a gift as an ex-girlfriend?" Makoto Takahashi asked, yawning.

"If you can't speak properly, you can shut up."

Her voice suddenly turned cold, and Takahashi Makoto tactfully changed the subject: "How did it go?"

"Remember to buy me a car."

"I don't have a driver's license yet, is it okay to ride a motorcycle?"

Getting a driver's license in Japan is complicated, but you can apply for a motorcycle license as long as you are 16 years old.

"No."

Uesugi Maya refused without hesitation, giving him a threatening look before she could launch into a humiliating attack: "I can wait until you're 20, but you absolutely cannot let another woman sit in my place, understand?"

Hearing her voice gradually take on a coldness that was meant to mask her shyness, Takahashi Makoto raised his hands in surrender: "Yes, yes."

Why did you choose to associate with Li Jian?

"I softened my heart."
