People are in the music show, but the Yorozuya

Toyokawa Shoko nodded, then looked at Otonashi Sota, a little hesitant.

"If you want to say hello, go ahead, since you're childhood friends."

"I'm sorry to trouble you again, Otonashi-senpai."

Toyokawa Shoko apologized again. If it was someone else, it would be fine, but the other person was her best friend. It was rare that she saw him on the street and he just left without saying hello. Xiaomu might be sad.

"It's just a small matter, buddy."

Otonashi Souta said nonchalantly.

Those who have played games together are good friends.

Toyokawa Shoko: “….”

After crossing the road, the two of them quickly walked up to Wakaba Mu.

"Xiao Mu, good evening."

Toyokawa Shoko smiled and greeted the doll girl.

"Good evening, Xiangzi."

The doll girl responded with a steady voice that seemed to be free of emotion, but her eyes were cast towards Otonashi Sota.

There is a big doubt in the small eyes.

It was the first time she saw Xiangzi talking and laughing with a boy who was about her age.

"Xiao Mu, this is my senior from... my workplace. His name is Otonashi Sota. Otonashi senior, her name is Wakaba Mu, and she's my good friend."

Originally, Shoko Toyokawa wanted to say that Otonashi Kanata was her boss, but she felt it was a bit weird to say that she was having dinner with her boss, so she changed it to a senior who was of the same rank.

"Hello Ruoye, nice to meet you."

Otonashi Sota smiled and waved at the other party.

"Hello...."

Ruoye Mu nodded, his expression remaining calm.

Otonashi Sota suddenly felt that this girl was very interesting. She was silent, expressionless, and a loli. Isn't this our Nagato Yuki?

It was the first time that he had seen a girl with these three attributes in real life.

But not as good as Nagato.

"Xiao Mu, are you ready to go home? Well, I won't bother you for now. Let's talk next time we meet."

Because Otonashi Sota was next to them, Toyokawa Shoko didn't think about chatting with Xiaomu any longer. She just said hello and prepared to leave.

"Is Xiangzi on a date?"

The headman of Mu blinked, and a strange look appeared in his golden eyes. His voice was still steady, but his words were astonishing.

"Of course not!"

Shocked by Mu Tou Ren's remarks, Teacher Daxiang's face flushed instantly and he quickly denied it.

"We're just getting ready to eat."

Otonashi Sota explained calmly.

You know, his reputation is too pure and innocent, and he can't let Toyokawa Shoko ruin it.

"Oh."

Ruoye Mu nodded thoughtfully, not knowing whether he had heard it or not.

"By the way, since you're Fengchuan's friend, if you have nothing else to do, would you like to have dinner with us?"

Otonashi Sota made a casual invitation.

Chapter 8 The Mutou Man Picks Up the Signal Axe

"Eat...but my father and mother won't allow it."

Upon hearing Otonashi Sota's invitation, Mutoto was stunned for a moment. He neither agreed nor refused, but just showed a gloomy expression.

"why?"

Otonashi Sota asked in confusion.

Could it be that Ye Mu’s family also has the custom of not allowing women to sit at the table for dinner?

"Xiao Mu's family has very strict upbringing. What she eats and when she eats are all arranged by her family. When she goes out, she can only have some desserts and drinks at most."

Toyokawa Shoko explained.

As childhood sweethearts, she certainly knew how strict the situation was in Mutouren's family.

Mutouren's father is a comedian and her mother is an actress, both of whom are in the entertainment industry, so they have been training Ruoye Mu with strict standards since she was a child.

Not allowing her to eat out is also to help her maintain a good figure.

"Huh? Not sisters, are you from some chaebol family? Why are your parents so strict? You're not even allowed to eat out. Are you afraid of being poisoned?"

After listening to Toyokawa Shoko's explanation, Otonashi Kanata couldn't help but complain.

What era is this? There is still such outrageous family education. It would be better not to let women sit at the table for dinner.

"It's not that exaggerated... Xiao Mu's parents are both celebrities, so they're a bit strict with her. She also attends various talent classes. Maybe school is when Xiao Mu is most relaxed."

As she spoke, Shoko Toyokawa couldn't help but sigh. Although Xiaomu's situation was rather troublesome, she was not qualified to sympathize with him.

As the saying goes, every family has its own problems. Although Xiao Mu is not free enough, at least he does not have to survive with huge debts like her.

“…”

Ruoye Mu didn't say anything, just lowered his head.

She has long been used to being mean.

"I see. I think Ruoye is a rebellious person."

Otonashi Sota touched his chin and said.

I originally thought it was Yuki Nagato, but is it actually Rei Ayanami?

"Ruoye, do you want to have dinner with Fengchuan?"

Otonashi Sota asked in a somewhat bewitching tone.

If his original invitation to Ruoye Mu to have dinner together was just a social gesture and a casual remark, he was now a little excited.

For no other reason than to see whether this obedient and poor girl, who has always been arranged by her family, will awaken her spirit of resistance.

Of course, this doesn’t mean that you have to be rebellious to the point of running away from home and becoming a bad girl.

Even a small matter like eating out has to be restricted by family members, which I find ridiculous.

It's not like they are from a wealthy family that is afraid that others will kill their heir. It's just a celebrity that has caused trouble. It's not like he doesn't know any celebrities. He has many friends who are famous in various circles, and their families don't have so many strict rules.

It's okay when the children are young, but it's really abstract to still do this now that they are in high school.

“I…can’t…”

The headman shook his head.

"I'm not asking if you can, I'm asking if you want to."

Otonashi Souta emphasized his tone.

".....think."

Wakaba Mu was silent for a moment, looked up at Toyokawa Shoko, and nodded.

Of course she wanted to have a meal and chat with her friends, because only when she was with Xiangzi and Su Shi could she feel that she was not an emotionless puppet.

"Then call your parents and tell them you're having dinner out with friends tonight."

"They won't agree to it."

"Then have you asked?"

"I've asked before."

"When was it before?"

"When I was young."

"Isn't that okay?"

Otonashi Sota spread his hands.

"The past is the past, and the present is the present. Sister, you're not a child anymore, and it's time for you to take charge. You need to negotiate and communicate with your parents. You can't just shut up if you feel you can't. Unless your parents really have a perverted desire to control you, they won't deny you even a little freedom."

"....Is it really possible for me?"

No one had ever said such words to Wakaba Mutsu, and Otonashi Souta's strange words made Wakaba Mutsu's heart beat faster.

"You'll know after trying it. There's nothing to lose anyway. Are you afraid of getting beaten or scolded?"

Otonashi Sota continued to persuade.

Seeing this, Shoko Toyokawa wanted to say something, but seeing that Wakaba Mu was a little hesitant, she thought about it and decided not to say anything.

“…but I don’t know how to say it.”

Ruoye Mu hesitated.

"It's okay. I'll teach you. When you turn on the hands-free mode later, if you don't know what to say, just follow my instructions."

Otonashi Souta gave a thumbs up to the headman,

"Believe in yourself, you can do it, Ayanami Rei."

"Ah."

The headman nodded, she was convinced.

Although they had just met, she felt that every word Otonashi Sota said touched her heart, as if he was the soul in her body that wanted to rebel!

So she took out her cell phone and called her mother.

The call was quickly picked up by the other party, and then a gentle but serious female voice came from the phone.

"Hello? What's up, Xiaomu?"

"Mom....can I have dinner out with Xiangzi tonight?"

Wakaba Mutsu mustered up the courage and asked in a trembling voice.

"Xiangzi? Oh, the one from Toyokawa's family... But I remember she seemed to have... Never mind, Xiaomu, you can chat with her, but if you want to eat, go home. I've asked Auntie to prepare a nutritious meal for you."

Ruoye Mu's mother rejected Mu's request without hesitation, saying in a tone that said, "I'm doing this for your own good."

“…”

Ruo Ye Mu's golden eyes gradually dimmed. As expected, she still couldn't do it?

Just then, she felt someone patting her shoulder. She looked up and saw Otonashi Sota holding a cell phone in front of her with a message on the screen.

"...Mom, I told you I want to have dinner with Xiangzi, don't you understand?"

Mutouren looked at the words typed by Otonashi Sota and read them out word for word.

Although the words were a bit harsh, they were actually quite cute when read out by Mutou Ren in a calm tone.

"Eh? Xiao Mu, what did you just say?!"

Obviously, Ruo Yemu's image as a good girl has been deeply rooted in people's minds, so much so that what she said just now made her mother go from calm to stunned, and she even thought there was something wrong with her ears.

"...I won't repeat what I said, Mom. I'm not a child anymore."

Wakaba Mu continued to read out the words typed by Otonashi Sota.

“…”

This time, her mother responded with a long silence. After a long while, she spoke in a voice that was trying to remain calm but still a little shaken.

"In that case, Xiao Mu, you should accompany Xiangzi for dinner first. When you come back... we'll talk."

Chapter 9 was also established by the Mutou people

After saying that, the other party hung up the phone.
