"Eh? Friend..."

"Well, you really want to make friends with like-minded people, right?"

Goto Ichiri shuddered all over. For the first time, she raised her head and looked at the older brother with a clean face in front of her, her eyes full of confusion.

(How did he know? I guess I have never seen him, right?)

No matter how hard Goto Ichiri thought, he seemed unable to find any memory with the shadow of Nakamura Mine, but he did remember the conversation between the two girls. The person in front of him seemed to be the brother of a classmate with the surname Nakamura, but there were three people with the surname Nakamura in their class alone, and she had no social circle and had no idea who the gloomy man the two people were talking about was. But it was obvious that the brother was a Yang-type and the younger brother was a Yin-type?

(I hope Erli doesn’t become like me…)

Thinking of his sister who responded to him like an angel, Goto Ichiri prayed that she would never become like him.

“Um, um…”

"Ok?"

Waiting patiently for Goto Ichiri to come out of her own world, looking at the trumpeter Goto Ichiri who finally mustered up some courage, Nakamura Mine just quietly waited for her to speak.

"You, why do you know me, um... we should have never met before, right?" Seeing Nakamura Mine staring at his face, Goto Ichiri blushed a little. It wasn't because he was shy or anything, but simply because he was not used to other people's gazes.

"What!? Have you forgotten the agreement we made when we were kids!?" Nakamura Mine's eyes rolled and he suddenly shouted exaggeratedly, his tone full of disbelief.

"Huh? Wha, what?" Goto Ichiri stepped back in fright.

(A promise made in childhood? Me?)

"You clearly told me when we were little that we would be friends for life!" Nakamura Mine tried hard to look nostalgic for the past while secretly looking at the frightened Goto Ichiri.

Chapter 145 Uncle, I'm Sorry

"..."

"Uh, no, that should be impossible." Goto Ichiri said weakly, but there was a rare affirmation in his tone.

(How could I have the courage to say such a thing...)

Goto Ichiri is very confident about this.

"Well, that's true. After all, it happened in kindergarten, so I can't remember it clearly..." Nakamura Mine continued his acting tenaciously.

"Well...the only person who was willing to play with me in kindergarten was the teacher..." Goto Ichiri said the very sad words in a very normal tone.

(No, why do you remember this so clearly?)

While Nakamura Mine was complaining in his heart, he also realized that his plan to pretend to be a former friend of Goto Ichiri would never succeed. After all, this guy seemed very confident that he was always alone.

(There’s nothing I can do. At this point I can only use the Forbidden Final Plan. Don’t blame me, Pochi…)

"Haha, now that we've been exposed, there's nothing we can do, ha, ha~" In just a moment, Nakamura Mine, who had always had a relatively warm expression, suddenly turned gloomy, and even the look he gave Goto Ichiri became playful. Before Goto Ichiri himself could react, Nakamura Mine had completed the transformation from a sunny and handsome big brother next door to a sinister and vicious villain.

Don’t ask him where he got such acting skills. The answer is that he learned it from a drummer and a bassist.

"Goto Ichiri, your birthday is February 2st, your sign is Pisces, your blood type is O, you have a sister who is ten years younger than you, your father is Goto Naoki, and your mother's name is Goto Michiyo. You have been alone since childhood and have no friends. The only photos you see are those with your family and class photos. Your grades are average and you are a sports wimp. During the holidays, the only thing you can do is lie down and browse your phone..." Every time Nakamura Mine revealed a piece of information, Goto Ichiri's face became more terrified, especially from the middle of the message, Nakamura Mine's words were like a sword piercing her heart, which already had a weak ability to withstand.

By the end, she was basically in a near-death state.

While Goto Ichiri was kneeling on the ground and not looking at him, Nakamura Mine quickly clasped his hands together and silently recited "Ami Buddha" in his heart to redeem some merits, then he coughed lightly and looked at Goto Ichiri who was lying on the ground again.

"There should be no mistakes in the above information, right?" Nakamura Mine continued to "pretend" to be a villain and said jokingly, but for a long time there was no response from Goto Ichiri.

(Um?)

(Oops! Maybe I used too much force!?)

Quickly helping up Goto Ichiri, who was almost foaming at the mouth, Nakamura Mine picked her up and put her on a bench by the roadside, fanning her with his hands. As for the weird looks from people on the roadside, he completely ignored them. After all, he had felt the looks from people on the roadside too many times in Yamada Ryo's simulations, and had long been immune to it.

After a while, Goto Ichiri finally regained consciousness, but as soon as she opened her eyes, she saw the smiling face that terrified her, and she immediately wanted to faint again.

(Although what he said was basically true, but being pointed out to his face... I really wanted to disappear...)

(No, that's not right. Why does he know me so well?!)

Goto Ichiri, who was originally only concerned with feeling ashamed, finally realized the real problem with the situation.

"for?"

"Oh? Awake? Hmm? You want to ask me how I know you so well, right?"

"Ah, yeah." Goto Ichiri wanted to nod, but because he was lying down, the back of his head hit the bench.

(…)

Looking at Goto Ichiri who jumped up from the bench with his head covered, Nakamura Mine subconsciously wanted to complain, but in order to maintain his character, he forced himself to stop the thought.

"Ahem, the reason I know so much about you is, of course, because I sent someone to investigate thoroughly."

"Investigate!? Why?" Alarm bells rang in Goto Ichiri's heart. Some plots of movies she had seen kept filtering through her mind. She had an active mind and immediately thought of many possibilities, but none of them would allow her to have a good ending.

"Hehe~ Why? Maybe you can ask your father."

(Forgive me, Uncle Naoki.)

"dad?"

"Hey~"

"Eh?"

(Oops, I couldn’t resist my instinct, but then again, who can resist this?)

"Ahem, it's okay." Nakamura Mine, who couldn't help but take advantage of the situation, coughed twice to ease the embarrassment, then frowned again and said.

"You probably don't know yet, your father owes us a lot of money. No! I have no interest in your piggy. Remember! It's a lot of money! So much that your father can't even pay the interest in his lifetime." Nakamura Mine imitated the tone of the villain he saw on TV and said, secretly looking at Goto Ichiri whose face had turned pale, and he felt more confident in his plan.

(I’m sorry to have to inconvenience you for now, Uncle Naoki.)

(Dad, what on earth have you done, Dad!)

While Nakamura Mine was still thinking about how to make Goto Ichiri completely trust him, it turned out that Goto Ichiri himself had already played out a complete little drama in his mind.

Late at night, the blind man hid it from his family and came to a casino full of deception and desire, dreaming of getting rich overnight and squandering his only savings. Even if he spent all his wealth, he had no way out. On this road where there was no turning back, he still did the most untouchable taboo.

Using money that did not belong to him, the blind man eventually lost everything and fled back to his home, while his daughter was being targeted by vicious debt collectors...

"One, is one kidney enough?" Goto Ichiri, who thought she had figured out the whole thing, said with tears in her eyes, trembling.

"?"

Nakamura Mine, who had no idea why Goto Ichiri had taken this step without permission, blinked stupidly, but he quickly gave a response.

"not enough."

Goto Ichiri almost fainted again after hearing this straightforward answer, but fortunately Nakamura Mine quickly continued:

"But we are not demons. We would not do such a low-level thing as asking someone to undergo organ removal surgery. It would be very troublesome if we were caught. We are all decent people."

(You really believe whatever I say...)

"That......"

"Girls, come and become an idol!"

Chapter 146: Let’s Debut, Yili

"what?"

"Come and become an idol!" Nakamura repeated.

"Eh!!???" Goto Ichiri finally recovered from her daze. She shook her head quickly as if she was going to fly, and even forgot for a moment that she was afraid.

“No no no no no no no no no!!!”

"Become a popular idol and become my cash cow!!!"

"No! No! No! I can't do that!"

Goto Ichiri hoped that this was just a joke, but the person in front of her did not seem to be joking at all, so she tried to express her resistance with flustered body language. Admittedly, she, Goto Ichiri, did hope to become a superstar admired by thousands of people, but that was a distant existence that could only be imagined.

For a microorganism like her who can't even communicate with people she doesn't know, becoming an idol is simply a fantasy and is absolutely impossible.

"No, it's possible!" Nakamura Mine said in a pyramid scheme-like tone of determination.

"No! It's impossible!" Goto Ichiri was so anxious that she was about to cry again. She was a self-aware person, and just imagining standing on the stage made her dizzy.

"If I say yes, it means yes!" Seeing Goto Ichiri's flat denial, Nakamura Mine could only strengthen his tone again. However, although he said so, he actually didn't really want Goto Ichiri to debut or anything. It was just that with this reason, many of his requests would seem more reasonable.

Most people probably wouldn't believe such a lie that was full of loopholes. Apart from anything else, the truth would be revealed if she just went home and asked Goto Naoki. But Goto Ichiri was different. She didn't have the courage to do that. Even if she had, she wouldn't do it because she was sensitive and had low self-esteem. Regardless of how she developed this personality, she cared about the feelings of those around her more than anyone else.

So she could never say anything that would make her father lose face.

Even Nakamura Mine felt that he had gone a bit too far, but if one wanted to make Goto Ichiri grow in a short period of time, drastic measures had to be taken.

(How unreasonable! Is this the dark side of human society?...)

"But, but..." Feeling that her struggle was futile, Goto Ichiri lowered her head humbly, her mind in a mess.

"Okay, since you don't want to, forget it." Nakamura Mine suddenly changed the subject and showed an indifferent expression, as if he had suddenly lost interest in Goto Ichiri.

"Huh? Really?" The light of hope reappeared in Goto Ichiri's eyes.

"Well, didn't I tell you that I'm not a demon? I can't force a teenage girl to do something like that."

In Goto Ichiri's eyes, Nakamura Mine's image suddenly became full of righteousness again.

(Is he a good person?)

"But in this case, although it is a little troublesome, you can only let your sister take your place..." Nakamura Mine touched his chin, as if he was planning something. Although his voice was not loud, at least Goto Ichiri heard every word clearly.

(Devil! Definitely a devil! Definitely!!!)

"Ni, ni, Niri is less than three years old..." Goto Ichiri tried to awaken the last bit of humanity in the demon in front of him.

"Hmm? Oh, don't worry, there are people who have this need." Nakamura Mine showed a sinister smile that looked like he might punch himself if he looked at himself in the mirror, and the last glimmer of hope in Goto Ichiri's eyes was extinguished.

(It’s over. My life, which was already dark, is now completely ruined…)

"I, I do..."

"Ah? What did you say? I didn't hear you."

"I, I will do anything! Please don't attack Erli!" Goto Ichiri closed his eyes and shouted at the top of his voice.

"Good! Very energetic."

A passerby heard the conversation clearly. He staggered and opened his mouth. The shock in his eyes was self-evident. His hand unconsciously fell on the phone in his pocket, but after hesitating for a moment, he gave up his plan, looked at Goto Ichiri, whose body was still trembling, with pity, shook his head, and left the scene.

"My name is Nakamura...Kiri." He almost said his real name, and in a hurry, Nakamura Mine subconsciously said this name.

(Nakamura Kiri? This isn't...)

Although he didn't react at first, after a little thought, Nakamura Mine remembered that this was the name of his and Goto Ichiri's little daughter in the simulation. He himself didn't know why he blurted out this name, but since he had already said it, he could only go with the flow.

"That's right, my name is Nakamura Kiri, I will give you enough training so that you can become a truly popular person. You better be mentally prepared, Goto Ichiri."

Now that the matter has been settled, Nakamura Mine no longer forces himself to act like a villain. He returns to his usual state when interacting with Goto Ichiri. However, since Goto Ichiri looks really immature now, Nakamura Mine still somewhat treats her as a younger sister. However, Goto Ichiri herself does not have this feeling at all.

(He is laughing, so scary!)

"I, I smell like mold, so I'm not delicious at all, please don't eat me..."

"......" Nakamura Mine felt that his performance just now was a little too successful?

After instructing Goto Ichiri to leave home an hour earlier the next morning, Nakamura Mine let him go home for the time being.

"However, although it's good that the plan is going smoothly, but..."

Touching the cooing bird, Nakamura Mine's eyes involuntarily swept towards the green grass.

(This, that, and these, I remember they are all edible...)

"Hmm, this is so bitter... Huh? This is a little sweet? Wow, this thing is so sour! Ugh! This is too disgusting..."

......

"Did you hear any strange noises, dear?"

"Haha, now that we're here, it's impossible for you to escape with this excuse."
