I have bound two systems.

"After I confessed to Pochi-chan that night, we reached an agreement between her and me. We weren't sure if you guys would be able to accept this, so we kept it a secret as usual. We also reached an agreement to take turns using Chisato's schedule and stuff."

Chisato Suzumiya raised her eyelids at this moment.

After some explanation, the current situation was finally understood.

The atmosphere in the room returned to silence, but it was no longer as tense as it was at the beginning.

Kita Ikuyo covered her head with her hands.

As for Ichichi Hongxia, she closed her eyes and gently rubbed her eyebrows.

This little habit was probably learned from her sister.

Noticing this, Chisato Suzumiya couldn't help but think so.

"So... since you and Pochi-chan know each other, what's going on tonight?"

"I didn't know you were planning a birthday party for me in advance."

Just now, after they all left, Yamada Ryo was getting dressed and saw the cake hidden behind the sofa.

Goto Ichiri also spoke slowly.

"I didn't know Liang would suddenly call Qianli over. Neither Qianli nor Liang told me..."

Chisato Suzumiya held this little grievance in her arms with some guilt.

Well, it was a perfect coincidence that made this dramatic event unfold perfectly.

"…If Yudai-chan and I hadn't discovered it today, how long would you have kept it a secret from us?"

Ijichi Hongxia sighed and asked the question that she cared about most tonight.

The reason why she was angry before was that, on the one hand, she mistakenly thought that Suzumiya Chisato was doing something with Yamada Ryo behind Goto Ichiri's back... something.

On the other hand, he was dissatisfied that he and Hongxia had been kept in the dark.

You know, she has always regarded everyone in the band and Chisato Suzumiya as her best friends, as important as her family.

Is there a need to keep secrets between family members?

"Hongxia, I'm sorry."

If I say anything more, it will seem like I am being glib, so it is better to just apologize honestly.

After Suzumiya Chisato, Yamada Ryo and Goto Ichiri also followed suit.

Seeing this, Kita Ikuyo tugged at Ichichi Kouka's sleeve, which finally made her sigh.

"Forget it... This is your business anyway, just hope no one gets hurt."

Yamada Ryo's eyes lit up, he stood up and walked to her side and sat down, hugged her arm, and acted like a little bird.

"I knew you would understand me, Hongxia's mother."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense. If you really think so, you should have told us about this relationship from the beginning. It's getting late now. We still have work to do tomorrow... Go to bed early."

Ijichi Nichina looked at Suzumiya Chisato, then quickly looked away.

Although the matter has been made clear, it still feels a bit awkward now.

"……Too."

Suzumiya Chisato stood up, and Goto Ichiri followed closely beside him.

It would have been fine if she didn't know before, but now that he was here, she naturally couldn't miss the opportunity to be with him. After all, due to her busy work recently, she hadn't been able to meet him for a month or so.

"Let's just go, this is Pochi-chan's room."

"Ah good."

"You guys... should go to bed early."

"Good night……"

"kindness……"

"Good night……"

After saying hello one by one, Ijichi Hoshika and Kita Ikuyo left the room.

Hongxia, who was in the corridor, took the initiative to hold Yudai's hand.

"Well, I feel like it won't be easy to fall asleep tonight..."

"That's true. I can't imagine that there's something going on between Suzuha and Chisato..."

Hongxia did not notice the strange light in Yudai's eyes when he said these words.

"I feel upset all the time... Yudai, why don't you come over tonight and sleep with me, and chat or something."

"Yeah, I think so too."

They both walked into the same room.

In Goto Ichiri's room, the remaining three people felt relieved.

Although Yudai and Nijixia were surprised and confused at first, after the misunderstanding was resolved, they seemed to accept the current relationship between the three of them.

And now, since there are no outsiders present, there is no need to worry about some things.

"Oh, so cunning!"

When Yamada Ryo went to turn off the main light in the living room, he didn't notice that Goto Ichiri had already taken the initiative to hug Suzumiya Chisato with her little hands, and pressed her red and hot face against his chest, sniffing the unique scent on his body happily and greedily.

"The cunning one is Liang. He asked Qianli to come here without telling me at all."

"He came here suddenly on his own."

"Hey, stop putting the blame on others!"

There was no tension at all.

Although Chisato Suzumiya didn't have as many opportunities to sleep in the same bed with these two as with Eriri and Kasumigaoka, it was definitely quite a lot.

The three of them had a lot of fun in private and had already known each other for a long time.

While she was speaking, Suzumiya Chisato had already picked up Goto Ichiri and walked towards the bed.

The state that was interrupted before now surged forward with an even more impatient momentum.

They didn't care about Yamada Ryoya who followed them, kicked off his slippers and got on the bed, and just stared at them from a very close distance, practicing fighting as if no one was around.

"You two, stop ignoring me!"

Yamada Ryo, who was also in an impatient state, took the initiative to move forward and tried to join the fighting sparring, but at this moment, Suzumiya Chisato and Goto Ichiri were as tightly stuck together as the Tai Chi Bagua diagram, with no signs of separation at all.

They kissed until Goto Ichiri was out of breath, and then Chisato Suzumiya looked up contentedly. She also had time to talk to Yamada Ryo who was being ignored.

"Yili performed very well today. I want to reward her first."

"then what do I do?"

"You can go watch some TV."

"I do not want it."

Miss Liang, unwilling to be treated coldly, chose to cooperate with Chisato Suzumiya to launch an offensive against Miss Goto.

Miss Goto, who was fighting one against two, soon ran out of energy and was defeated. After that, she finally got her wish and experienced the ultimate happiness that she had not felt for a long time.

In another room.

Ijichi Kouka and Kita Ikuyo were whispering to each other.

“I really didn’t expect that.”

"Indeed, that idiot Liang...actually got together with Chisato-kun... so early..."

"You said...the three of them should be resting in the same room now, right?"

"Well, it should be."

"So now after we left... they should be... that or something..."

"Well...it must be..."

"By the way, I remember that Pochi-chan...every morning after spending the night with Chisato-kun, she always looks particularly refreshed."

"Now that you mention it, it is true..."

"Hongxia, have you... seen those movies?"

"What movie?"

"Just... those things, you know."

"Ah... um... yeah."

"The expressions of the girls in those movies... look so comfortable..."

"Ah... yeah... Pochi-chan and Ryo... should also like that feeling... They should also have similar expressions now, and feel very comfortable..."

"..."

"I hope they won't stay up too late... Tomorrow's work is very important..."

"..."

"Ikuyo-chan?"

"……Well."

"What's wrong, Ikuyo-chan?"

"Um, I'm going to the bathroom for a bit."

Chapter 57: The Third Band Member Enters the Game (Two in One)

The affair between Suzumiya Chisato and Yamada Ryo was exposed. Although the most important person involved, Goto Ichiri, didn't care, two of the four-member band members were killed anyway, which still made Ijichi Nijika feel a little... weird.

I can't really say what it is, but it seems weird everywhere.

Maybe she will get used to it in the future, but at least at this stage, she still finds it somewhat unacceptable.

This mentality distracted her from work the day after the incident, because she spent most of her time observing the expressions of Goto Ichiri and Yamada Ryo.

The former is obviously much more energetic, and her already pretty face looks even more delicate, rosy and lustrous. As for the latter, her change is also exaggerated. The corners of her mouth are slightly raised throughout the work. She even paid for milk tea for all the staff present and was always friendly to everyone.

It’s not that Yamada Ryo usually has a bad temper, but she was a little too kind today.

As expected...is it because of the time I spent with Qianli-kun last night?

Yidi Zhihongxia seemed to understand but not quite.

Time passed slowly as she was filled with thoughts.

Soon, today's work came to an end.

After that, we will have two days off. Instead of returning to the shared apartment together, we will go back to our own homes.

After saying goodbye to each other, Ijichi Hongxia returned home.

Previously, Suzumiya Chisato gave Ijichi Hoshika a very high bonus because of her hard work, and also provided her with a large suite on the top floor of a tower in the city center. With an area of ​​nearly 300 square meters, it was spacious and not crowded for a group of people to have a carnival party.

Because it was a fully furnished apartment, the Ijichi sisters simply added some furniture and appliances and moved in directly. The original apartment was left vacant and given to PA-san, who had been managing and operating the Fanxing Exhibition Hall for her. The distance between the upstairs and downstairs was very close, which saved her a lot of time.

Chisato Suzumiya once asked her why she was still so obsessed with the small exhibition hall she once owned even though she was no longer short of money.

And to answer with the original words of Ichichi Hoshika -

Before I officially met him, this exhibition hall carried so many beautiful memories of the past. The family's living expenses and Hongxia's growth expenses were all paid for with the help of this old friend. Not to mention, so many people like this place. This is where they take a short break after get off work.

So if possible, she hopes that this exhibition hall can continue to operate like this.

After the work was over, Ichichi Hongxia, who was worried, did not choose to go home directly, but took a detour and came to the Fanxing Exhibition Hall.

She was wearing a baseball cap, a mask, and sunglasses. Even acquaintances might not dare to confirm her identity with this outfit.

So it was natural that she did not attract any attention from others. She ordered a drink and sat alone in a small corner with her chin resting on her hand.

She recalled the time a long time ago when she and Ichiri had just formed a band. The four of them, plus Chisato Suzumiya who worked here, often sat here like this, discussing various decisions regarding the band.

Although looking back now, some of their ideas at that time seemed quite naive and meaningless, it was true that every day was quite fulfilling, happy and carefree.

And now...
