Comet Dragon, breaking into the gravity field

Having never thought about this question, Toyokawa Shoko was stunned for a long time before answering awkwardly: "Because Chuhua seems to be very interested in this project, plus the current project is almost mature and there is no resistance from the agency, so..."

At this moment, she realized that she had been somewhat careless regarding the affairs of her band members.

She felt like a student who was called upon by the teacher to answer a question but stammered and couldn't come up with an answer, and her fair face began to turn red.

Fortunately, this embarrassing moment did not last long.

Suddenly, the loud shouting of Yutenji Wakami was heard outside the room. After hearing the noise and looking at the list in his hand, Ritsu Narose understood the reason for the noise.

Leaving the room, he saw Sankaku Hatsuka, wearing a black baseball cap, standing by the sofa, taking in the high spirits emanating from Yutenji Wakami. Hachiman Kairin, who had just left the live show and had dropped in with Sankaku Hatsuka, was sitting on the single sofa nearby.

Seeing the normally expressionless girl show such obvious emotion upon seeing him for the first time, Naruse Ritsu couldn't help but say, "Seeing me here... you don't have to be so surprised, right?"

As if realizing that her reaction was too dramatic, Hachiman Kailing picked up the drink on the table and said pointedly, "It seems you've been hiding a lot from me."

Looking at the favorability level above Hachiman Kairin's head that dropped to [83], Naruse Ritsu just spread his hands out without any intention of making any excuses.

To avoid meeting the surprised gaze of the idol behind him, he didn't even glance at the favorability bar above Sankaku Hatsuka's head. Turning his head to look directly at Toyokawa Shoko as she walked out of the office, Naruse Ritsu looked at her and asked her about her next plans.

Seeing her nod to him, Ritsu Narose announced that everyone should look up to him, while he recalled the various contracts sent to him by Belmont, trying to extract the parts that required their attention as much as possible.

Commercial performance contracts, copyright authorization documents, and member cooperation agreements that clearly define profit sharing, responsibilities, and exit mechanisms...

"Is there anything wrong, Xiangzi?" Noticing that Xiangzi Toyokawa's expression changed slightly, Ritsu Narose couldn't help but ask.

“…I have no problem.”

Trying hard to banish the jarring thought of an "exit mechanism" from her mind, Toyokawa Shoko looked around the room, convinced that this galactic battleship she had personally built would surely lead the name "Ave Mujica" to glory...

……

After fulfilling his duties as a bystander, Ming Lai Ritsu planned to leave.

After putting the processed documents back into the office, he just walked out the door and saw Yutenji Wakami standing in front of Sankaku Hatsuka - just like a crazy fan seeing his idol.

As for Triangle Chuhua...

She looked like a puppy caught in a roadblock.

Noticing the look of help she gave him, Ritsu Narose, unable to ignore it, had to step forward to stop someone's plan of taking photos and videos.

"Ms. Youtiansi, I think you'd better not rush to take advantage of Miss Sanjiao's traffic." He raised his hand and deliberately persuaded in a rather frivolous tone.

Although everyone knows some things, once they are spoken out, it will be embarrassing.

However, Yutenji Wakamugi is not an ordinary person.

Even though Ritsu Narose said it so bluntly, she still pretended to be confused.

Seeing that she still had this tough attitude, Ritsu Narose, who didn't want to say anything bad, had to use a more "rational" way to stop her.

"Miss Yutenji, you should know that random drainage is not a good thing without any disadvantages."

To be optimistic, she can use Sanjiao Chuhua's traffic to attract their fans, and then get them to pay attention to herself - even if only a small number of them are willing to stay, it will be a huge fortune for her.

But if she turns into a pessimistic counselor, her actions will directly lead to a large number of "outsiders" who know nothing about "Meow Dream" flooding into her channel, and making comments on the "locals" without understanding the specific situation.

These loudest diversionary passersby essentially vanish once the tide recedes, leaving behind nothing more than a mess. If these "outsiders" clash with the "locals" during their time there, they can easily harbor resentment, and upon returning to their base, they might even resort to smear campaigns, ultimately harming the reputation of "Meow Dream."

Ritsu Narose's words were very straightforward, almost revealing all the little calculations in Yutenji Wakamu's mind.

Mikado Hatsuka, who came to Tokyo on her own to make a living and has now become a popular idol, certainly understands what Yutenji Wakami is thinking, but she didn't expect Naruse Ritsu to go to such lengths. Meanwhile, Yutenji Wakami's expression was no less gloomy.

As if she had changed her personality, she not only stopped pestering Sanjiao Chuhua, but instead calmed down her expression and sat back on the sofa - she even smoothed out her bangs.

Although her attitude seemed bad and she did not respond directly to Ritsu Narose, her favorability rating rose from [9] to [15].

What's going on here? This should be considered a success, right?

Not understanding Yutenji Wakamaki's thoughts, Mingse Ritsu suddenly felt another pair of eager eyes focused on him.

Looking at Sanjiao Hatsuka, his eyes drifted uncontrollably to the top of her head. Seeing the high number above her head, Mingse Ritsu's expression became more subtle.

“Favorability” is really hard to understand…

……

When Toyokawa Shoko announced the disbandment, Wakaba Mutsu silently put on his guitar case and followed the other people out of the office.

Yutenji Wakamu, who was still wondering which brand of drum set to use, walked to the other side of the street while muttering to herself; Hachiman Kailing walked in the opposite direction of Yutenji Wakamu, carrying her guitar case; Sankaku Hatsuka remained in the office, as if she wanted to ask Toyokawa Shoko something.

The cold street lights shone on him. Wakaba Mutsu, who was alone, looked down at the bricks of the sidewalk under his feet, and kept recalling Toyokawa Shoko's various behaviors during this period of time.

——"Xiangzi... looks very happy."

After a long time, she whispered this sentence.

Realizing that her efforts to help Xiangzi seemed to be making progress, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, but then came a sense of loss and emptiness.

If Xiangzi has found her happiness, what should "Ruoye Mu" do next?

Playing guitar in a band?

I suddenly remembered the girl I saw that day, that unrestrained and cute girl. Her voice seemed to flow in my ears across time and space.

Biting his lower lip lightly, Ruo Yemu's expression became a little gloomy.

Can't compare...

There is no comparison.

Carrying the guitar that he grew up with, Wakaba Mu passed by a park.

It was a windless night, but the bushes beside the road suddenly made a noise. An unknown white figure flashed through the dark bushes, causing the bewildered girl to shudder.

Her body seemed frozen, and she stood there motionless until a sharp cat cry came from the darkness, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as he was about to relax, the sound of footsteps behind him appeared without warning, making Ruoye Mu tense up again.

The street lights illuminated the surrounding scene. Wakaba Mu turned around and clearly saw Mingse Ritsu standing there holding a bag of pudding.

Their eyes met, but neither of them said anything immediately.

After a while, Naruse Ritsu asked first, "Why is Miss Wakaba here?"

"I...heard a cat meow."

"cat?"

Turning his head to look at the bushes next to him, Ritsu Narose quickly saw the figure hidden in it and the favorability level that was close to zero.

I don’t understand what the reason why Ruoye Mu appeared here has to do with cats - she doesn’t want someone like Lenai who is a cat.

Without taking the opportunity to chat with Si'er for a while, Ming Lai Ritsu said hello and prepared to leave with the caramel pudding he had just bought.

But when he turned around to leave, the words that floated out faintly from Ruoye Mu's body forced him to stop.

"Excuse me...Is Xiangzi happy now?"

The girl's face was full of confusion, but with the blessing of her outstanding appearance, her face had a heart-warming melancholy beauty.

Ritsu Narushe didn't respond immediately.

He looked at the negative favorability level that was jumping again above Ruoye Mu's head, and then looked at the expression on the girl's face that did not seem fake. For the first time, he found that he didn't know what attitude he should use to face her.

49.Three types (two in one)

"Whether Xiangzi is happy or not is not something I can decide." As Mingse Ritsu spoke, his gaze remained directly above Wakaba Mutsu. "Why don't you just ask Xiangzi himself?"

Hearing his evasive words, Wakaba Mu lowered her head in disappointment. But in Naruse Ritsu's eyes, her favorability rating strangely rose from [-13] to [-10].

This was the first time he had seen this situation.

Taking out a cup of pudding from the plastic bag in his hand, Ritsu Narose handed it to her tentatively.

The creamy yellow pudding in the transparent glass bottle trembled slightly, the streetlight casting a soft hue on it. When Wakaba Mu finally accepted the dessert, Mingse Ritsu saw the value above her head drop to [-12].

"Thanks……"

Her tone was still so soft, like a harmless little animal, but Ritsu Narose felt like she was facing the most exquisite actor in the world.

He had no intention of chatting with Wakaba Mu at this time, so he left quickly.

After watching Ritsu Narose disappear around the corner of the street ahead, Mutsumu Wakaba walked towards the tram stop leading to another road.

Back in the basement of his home, Wakaba Mu stood in front of a glass display case.

In this space where only she would stay, the welcome gift sent by Ms. Belmont was now sleeping quietly on the other side of the glass.

A cane with a ruby ​​on top, clearly showing its value, was placed horizontally on a crimson bracket.

As if oozing with crimson blood, the ruby ​​shimmered under the light, a lustre that made her heart palpitate. The narrow, graceful black handle was encased in a silvery-white metal shell, yet it was slightly thicker than an ordinary cane, requiring both hands to grasp.

Is this really a cane?

Compared to the props often held by the upper class, its shape looks more like the mythical vajra.

Wakaba Mu was a little curious as to how something could be so beautiful and yet also disturbing.

Logically, faced with such an exquisite creation, her mother would also come before it to admire it carefully. At the same time, she would conceive a scene suitable for this collection and use her acting skills to express it vividly.

But to Wakaba Mu's surprise, both her parents and the maid turned a blind eye to this gift that had been transported to the basement in broad daylight. It was as if in their eyes, it was just an ordinary pebble that could be found everywhere on the roadside.

This didn't seem normal—but considering how rarely his parents came to the basement, their neglect made sense.

Unable to figure out the truth of the matter, and unable to properly articulate the issue, Ruoye Mu looked at the beautifully shaped "cane" a few more times, but had no intention of touching it.

Back on her usual bench, Ruo Yemu held her guitar and began practicing. What others might consider a boring task was something she persisted in day after day, and it had lasted for nearly a decade.

It was late at night before she returned to her bedroom.

Lying in the futon, his vision was completely covered by darkness. Recalling everything that happened today, Wakaba Mu was convinced that Toyokawa Shoko liked Naruse Ritsu.

When Xiangzi introduced Ritsu Narose's identity to the members, the proud look on her face reminded Wakaba Mutsu of the past.

How long has it been since she laughed like this?

Whenever he thought of this, a sense of joy that he could empathize with others would spread to Wakaba Mu's heart, and another sense of accomplishment that "he finally accomplished something" also filled Wakaba Mu's heart.

Therefore, even if Ritsu Narose didn't say it out loud, even if he didn't ask in person, Wakaba Mutsu still believed that Toyokawa Shoko was happy now.

Regarding this, she was really grateful to Ritsu Narose.

If he had not been willing to help Xiangzi, if he had not been willing to give him advice, Ye Mu would not have been able to reach this point.

I should thank him very much.

This thought suddenly popped up in his mind, and Ruoye Mu couldn't help but think about how he could repay Mingse Ritsu's selfless dedication.

If I give him the cucumbers I grew myself, will he accept them?

——Don’t do unnecessary things and stay away from him.

Who is speaking?

Wakaba Mutsu sat up and looked around.

She was alone in the room with her stuffed animals. The heavy curtains were drawn by the window, and the only sound she could hear was the whistling of the night wind outside. The corridor outside was also silent, without a single sound of footsteps.

The voice that just spoke sounded somewhat similar to her own, which seemed to be her illusion. She could not find out what was unusual hidden around her.

“…Is anyone there?”

Wakaba Mu asked quietly into the empty space in the room, but received no decent response.

After looking around again, she lay back on the bed and wrapped herself in the quilt.

Her rapid breathing gradually calmed down, and the comfort brought by the bedding and the fatigue from the practice all turned into sleepiness, making her temporarily forget the unpleasantness in her life.

This situation continued until the moment she was drowsy and about to fall asleep.

——For you and Xiangzi’s sake, stay away from him.

As he fell into a dream, Ruo Yemu once again heard someone whispering beside him...

……

The next day, Ritsu Narose, who was pulled in by Shoko Toyokawa to supervise the work, sat in the office of the firm.

When the scent of perfume that showed her presence slowly came from behind her, Ritsu Narose knew that she was being watched.

In this band where all the members are beautiful girls, Yutenji Wakami may not be the cutest one, but she is definitely the best at showing her charm.

Compared to Sanjiao Chuhua, who is adept at switching between [work mode] and [daily mode], Yutenji Ruomai seems to always stick to the video blogger persona she has created on the Internet.

Ritsu Narose had seen some information about Wakami Yutenji on the list, which naturally included her astonishing age.
