"Ah... um... it's okay, even if there are outsiders around, it doesn't matter, I've overcome it..."

"Very good, four votes passed unanimously!"

Ijichi Kouka stepped forward and held Kurokawa Akane's arm.

"It's decided. Come to our celebration party! Um...oh, I forgot to ask your name!"

"Kurokawa Akane, my name is Kurokawa Akane!"

Kurokawa Akane introduced himself with a little excitement as expected.

"Okay, Akane-chan!"

Ijichi Kouka held Kurokawa Akane's arm and pointed her hand outward.

"Let's go!"

-----------------

Inside the izakaya, Ijichi Hoshige arrived at the reserved private room early and was looking through the menu.

She had just rushed back from the band's rehearsal.

The main reason I came to the celebration banquet was to have a free meal.

At this time, the band rushed into the box in a mighty manner.

Ichichi Xingge looked up and was startled to see a strange face in the crowd.

"Eh? Where did you kidnap such a pretty girl from?"

"Hehe! Isn't it beautiful!"

Ijichi Hongxia looked proud.

"This is a new fan who was impressed by our performance today!"

"Hello, I'm Kurokawa Akane"

Kurokawa Akane greeted Ijichi Hoshige very politely.

Her eyes flickered between Ichichi Hoshige and Ichichi Hongxia, curiosity flashing in her eyes.

"Hello Kurokawa, I'm this guy's sister, Ijichi Hoshika."

Ichichi Xingge doesn't give her sister any face at all.

"You must have been dragged here by force. If you feel troubled, you can just tell me. There is no need to consider them."

"It's okay for you to leave now. No one will dare to stop you with me here."

"No, Hongxia and the others were willing to invite me over. I'm so happy!"

Kurokawa Akane said hurriedly.

Seeing that Kurokawa Akane didn't seem reluctant, Ijichi Seika smiled and raised her chin towards the empty seat.

"sit down."

When everyone was present, the celebration banquet officially began.

This is the band's umpteenth celebration party. It's more like a routine dinner after a performance than a celebration party.

So, everything about the show is old news and it never comes up at the dinner table.

But today, Kurokawa Akane, an outsider, has become the protagonist of this celebration banquet.

Kurokawa Akane also frankly told everyone that he was an actor, and talked about the recent difficulties of the troupe and the pressure he faced.

However, she did not mention anything related to Ryoma Ezaki.

Everyone in the band was very understanding and gentle. After hearing about Kurokawa Akane's situation, they all said that they could come and watch their performance anytime they felt tired in the future, and they didn't need to buy tickets, just tell them in advance.

At the same time, they naturally exchanged contact information.

Finally, the celebration banquet ended in a very cheerful and harmonious atmosphere.

The dinner was over and it was time for everyone who had finished the band to go home.

Kurokawa Akane was still a little reluctant to leave. Although she had received the promise that she could come back to see the performance at any time, she didn't know when she would have the time again after this farewell.

But she didn't show it, because she didn't want to cause trouble for everyone who ended the band because of her own selfish desires.

What's more, she has gained enough today.

However, although Kurokawa Akane tried his best to hide his reluctance, the old man was still experienced and this could not be hidden from the eyes of the thirtieth-year-old Jiang Yichi Xingge.

So, when everyone was dispersing and Kurokawa Akane was about to say goodbye, she took the initiative to call out Kurokawa Akane.

"Would you like to go to the second game with me?"

Kurokawa Akane hesitated for only a moment and then nodded.

Ijichi Hoshika brought Kurokawa Akane to another store. Coincidentally, this was the store where Ryoma Ezaki got Ijichi Hoshika drunk before taking her away for the first time that night.

Since that night, Ijichi Xingge would often come to this restaurant alone to eat and drink, and every time she did so, she would think of that man.

But she hasn't been here for a long time recently. After all, Ryoma Ezaki has returned.

This time, it was also her sudden inspiration to bring Kurokawa Akane with her.

Because for some reason, she saw her own shadow from a while ago in Kurokawa Akane.

Chapter 102: The man who scumbag you... is it the same man? (4k)

"Ah~! Isn't this Xiao Xingge? I haven't seen you here for a long time!"

As soon as she entered the door, the proprietress saw that the visitor was Yidi Chi Xingge and greeted her warmly.

"I told you not to call me Xiao Xingge anymore. I'm already 30 years old, so why am I still young..."

Ichichi Xingge smiled helplessly.

"Madam boss, it's still the same."

"Okay, one serving of teppanyaki eel, four skewers of yakitori, and a pitcher of beer, right?"

The proprietress wrote down Ijichi Hoshika's order on the list and turned to look at Kurokawa Akane.

"What about this little sister over here? What do you want?"

"Eh? I...I..."

Being suddenly addressed by the old lady, Kurokawa Akane was a little at a loss as to what to do.

She was distracted just now, thinking that an old customer like Ichichi Xingge was so cool, worthy of being an adult.

When the proprietress asked her what she wanted to order, she glanced back and forth at the menu hanging above the bar several times but still couldn't make up her mind.

Finally, she decided to be a smart student.

"Well...just give me the same one as Sister Xingge."

"Okay! Then multiply everything by two..."

The proprietress wrote two words on the list, then suddenly looked up as if she remembered something and thought of Kurokawa Akane.

"But... little sister, are you old enough to drink?"

"Eh? Not yet..."

Kurokawa Akane answered honestly.

"Then I'll help you replace the beer with juice."

The proprietress added a few more items to the list, looked up and saw Kurokawa Akane looking so tense, so she smiled.

"Haha, don't blame me for asking such a question. Young people nowadays mature too early. I can't tell whether they are adults or not just by looking at their appearance."

"Like Xiao Xingge, when she first came here I thought she was only about 20 years old. After all, she looked like a young girl who had just fallen in love for the first time..."

"Okay! Madam, didn't we agree not to mention what happened that day?"

Ichichi Xingge shouted in dissatisfaction.

"Okay, okay, don't mention it..."

The proprietress kept silent obediently, but she whispered to Kurokawa Akane.

"Little sister, if you are interested in Xiao Xingge's story, I can tell you secretly later."

"Hey! I can still hear you from this distance!"

Finally sending the talkative proprietress away, Ijichi Hoshika looked at Kurokawa Akane who was looking at her curiously, and couldn't help but regret bringing her here.

After all, she didn't want to reveal what happened between her and Ryoma Ezaki to anyone.

—That talkative old woman...

Ijichi Hoshika secretly complained in her heart, but when she turned to Kurokawa Akane, she changed her face and forced a smile.

"Chiyin, let's go to the private room and wait for the food to be served."

"Ok."

Kurokawa Akane was not one to proactively pry into other people's privacy, so even though she was very interested in the gossip the proprietress told about Ijichi Hoshika, seeing that the person had no intention of saying anything, she suppressed her curiosity and kept silent.

The two of them sat down in the box, drinking the tea provided by the restaurant while waiting for their food to be served.

While drinking tea, Ijichi Hoshige looked up at Kurokawa Akane several times, wanting to say something but stopping herself. In the end, she couldn't help but speak out her doubts.

"Chiyin, although it may sound a little sudden, I feel that when you told Hongxia and the others about the experience that caused you so much stress today, you concealed a lot of things."

Kurokawa Akane was stunned for a moment. Faced with Ijichi Hoshige's sudden question, she had not anticipated how to respond, and in the end she chose to nod obediently.

"Well, I didn't expect that you, Xingge sister, would figure it out. You are indeed a member of society."

"Oh, hehe... Actually, it has nothing to do with whether you are a member of society or not..."

Ijichi Hoshika laughed dryly and said that the real reason was that she saw the shadow of herself hiding her relationship with Ezaki Ryoma from Hongxia and the others in Kurokawa Akane's expression.

This made her feel particularly concerned about Kurokawa Akane.

"Actually, I didn't mean to force you to ask, I just had this vague feeling, so I wanted to confirm it with you."

"It doesn't matter if you don't want to tell me. Didn't I ask the boss lady to tell you about me? This is human nature."

Although she said so, after Ijichi Hoshige finished speaking, she still couldn't help but glance towards Kurokawa Akane.

It is definitely impossible to say that she is not curious about Kurokawa Akane's affairs, so her move is to retreat in order to advance.

It is human nature not to want to reveal one's private affairs.

Being interested in other people's private affairs is even more so.

However, after Kurokawa Akane was revealed by Ijichi Hoshika, he had no intention of hiding it any further.

Rather, she had actually been looking forward to such an opportunity, looking forward to having someone who was willing to listen to her experiences and let her talk about them.

After all, keeping these things in her heart would only make her feel worse.

Ijichi Hoshika is undoubtedly a good choice. She and I just met by chance, and she can't be related to Ezaki Ryoma. There is no need to worry that the information she reveals will affect other people.

And as an adult who is more than ten years older than her, perhaps Ichichi Xingge can give some unique insights and suggestions on her situation.

"Sister Xingge, I didn't mean to hide this from you, but this matter cannot be told rashly."

Kurokawa Akane's tone was a little serious. After all, the disappearance of Ezaki Ryoma was also related to the disappearance of Kamiki Hikaru.

The current situation is that it is not impossible that Ryoshin Ezaki killed Kamiki Mitsuru and then fled for fear of punishment.

"But if it's Sister Xingge, I'm willing to believe you."

"Ahahahaha, it's really my honor."

Yidizhi Xingge touched his head, feeling a little proud.

"Well, after all, you are Hongxia's sister!"

Kurokawa Akane laughed.

"…Is it just because of this?"

Ichichi Xingge was a little disappointed.

"Do you need any more reasons?"
