Congratulations, Sushi, you have been optimized by me.

So what she has to do now is to form a five-person group first, and then a seven-person group.

Of course, before that, I still have to find a reason to fool Su Shi and not let the other party get anxious and angry.

"Don't change the subject. First, explain to me what you just meant by 'I've decided to form a band'?"

"Literally, I'm planning to form a band with Aine, Lenai, and a few others, using your identity."

"..."

Wouldn't that be the same as following in her footsteps?!

Nagasaki Suyo was going crazy. She wondered if that pink-haired girl had some succubus attributes. How come her own military advisor was turned against her in just one day?

If this situation continues, the next few people will form a team to rehearse, and then because they have no songs, they will practice Kasuga Shadow, which will lay the groundwork for the subsequent fall of the city.

Then everything collapsed again, and after the collapse she couldn't expect this guy to be responsible for it. Chihiro would probably just pat her butt and leave.

I can't just drag the person who's wearing makeup to Xiaoxiang's doorstep and have both of us kneel down together, right?!

Is that reasonable?!

Then...will it work?

"Don't worry, I know this is surprising to you. You can't understand my strategy with your mind." Tsuzuki Chihiro was not at all panicked, and she shoveled the food into her mouth frantically. "But what I want to tell you is that my purpose in forming a band is completely different from what you imagine."

"...What do you mean?"

Seeing Tsuzuki Chihiro's confident and relaxed attitude, Su Shi began to calm down and started to think about what this guy was up to.

"What's your purpose in not wanting them to form a band?"

"Of course it's because after forming the band...both Xiaoxiang and Xiaomu feel like they've made a new beginning.

If I continue to form a group at this time, I will have no chance to pull them back;

And intending to kick someone out would also make everyone disgusted with me because of my bad behavior of going back on my word.

Therefore, forming a band was an impossible plan from the beginning, and it was also something that could not be achieved. It would be difficult for this group to disband with a simple reason, unless..."

Unless she has the heart to continue treating those people like that.

"That's it~"

What Chihiro Tsuzuki wanted was Su Shi's inexplicable confidence.

But at this moment, she just shook her finger, smiled at the silly Su Shi who didn't know how she was being deceived, and said with a confident smile and a firm tone:

"My approach is different from yours."

"What do you mean? You're not going to kick anyone out after you form a band? But that's no use..."

"Of course we have to kick people, but we won't kick Aine and Lenai. We'll kick Riki and Kotobuki out."

"……what?"

Chapter 41: Chihiro Tsuzuki's "Confession" (1/2)

"Do you think I'm stupid?"

Nagasaki Suyo looked at Tsuzuki Chihiro who was talking nonsense seriously, and narrowed her eyes, but there was a hint of danger in the smile on her face.

Doesn't it matter who is kicked out? What does it have to do with who is let go?

Wait……

Nagasaki Suyo thought about it carefully, and there seemed to be some difference, but she couldn't figure out what was wrong.

"Aren't you just worried that after forming a new band, Lixi and Xiaodeng will develop feelings for the new band, and at the same time, their old teammates will be sad?"

"That's right..."

"So if I deliberately favor Aine and Lenai in the coming days, and then act like a bad guy to put pressure on Riki and Deng, do you think they'll explode given their personalities?"

“It’s fried.”

"Isn't that enough?"

Chihiro Tsuzuki has an expression that shows she has everything under control, “The more I feel the difference between the new band and the old crychic, the more I realize how precious the days we spent together were.

What I want to do is to let Lixi and Xiaodeng realize this, and let them compare the other people in the band with their past teammates every day, and then they will find that the more they compare, the greater the gap will be. "

"You mean... when they are most helpless and want to give up, let Xiaoxiang and Xiaomu become the white moonlight in their hearts?

But...what about me?"

"Of course you are the biggest winner. You paid for me, so of course you will be the biggest beneficiary."

Chihiro Tsuzuki patted her chest and made the assurance, although she was skeptical about what she said in her heart.

"I'll take Aine and Lenai away, then find a few other people to form a new band. I'll leave Xiao Deng and Li Xi to keep the group together. Then you can make your debut.

You can put all the blame on me, saying that I pretended to be a study abroad counselor to get close to you, ate and lived at your house, and even opened up your scars to peek into your past.

At the same time, they secretly use your phone to send messages to other people and do things behind your back, in order to completely isolate you from all interpersonal relationships."

"But...what is your motive?"

"Because I like you." When she said this, Tsuzuki Chihiro had already stood up and walked to Su Shi's side.

Then she lowered her body, and the ends of her long burgundy hair touched Nagasaki Suye's cheek, and her expression became a little blurred.

Chihiro Tsuzuki held up Su Shi's cheek with one hand, and then used the other hand to push aside the girl's brown bangs. She looked so cautious as if she was playing with an exquisite toy.

Su Shi's cheeks beneath her suddenly turned red, and the next moment she woke up from this strange atmosphere of lesbian ambiguity, glaring at the guy in front of her with an angry look and accusing him:

"what are you doing?!"

"Chihiro Tsuzuki likes the same sex, especially beautiful girls with the characteristics of divorced wealthy wives, who are the ones that interest her the most.

For her own selfish desires, this evil woman wanted to imprison this girl who was extremely lacking in love and recognition by her side, so she pretended to be a weak person to approach her.

Then, using his cunning and deceitful talents, he deceived everyone around Su Shi, leaving her with no one to rely on and turning her into a love-brained person with only Chihiro in her mind.

"……what?"

"Isn't it very reasonable? Doesn't everything fit together? In the end, Su Shi bravely discovered the truth and felt that he shouldn't have distrusted his friends. He decided to make the truth public.

She will find those helpless victims, rebuild the friendships that should never have been broken, and start a perfect new chapter in her life."

"This……"

Nagasaki Suyo's head was a little confused, but she still chose to slap away the little hand that had been touching her face.

"Can you please let me go and talk to me properly? I'm afraid you really have that idea..."

"Oh, then you're overthinking it. How could I possibly be interested in someone like you who has nothing but money?"

"You scold again?!"

"Ahem, no, I was just talking nonsense."

Chihiro Tsuzuki let go of the girl who was burning with heat and sat back in her seat.

Su Shi here seemed to have walked out of a sauna, and his whole body was also free from the suffocating state just now.

"Are you... serious? About that plan just now?"

"if not?"

"But this is not fair to you."

Nagasaki Suyo frowned. She felt that as the big boss who controlled everything behind the scenes, she took all the benefits and finally let poor Chihiro leave alone among these people. She seemed a little guilty.

Although she does have a deep obsession with cyrchic, is it good to go to this extent?

"Don't be ridiculous." Tsuzuki Chihiro smiled playfully, "I don't care about these bandmate friendships you mentioned. For me, this is just a transaction from the beginning to the end.

I don't care if these people hold a grudge against me. On the contrary, the more thoroughly I do this, the less I owe you."

Of course, these words are all nonsense, but at this moment Chihiro feels that only by saying this can her employer believe her.

"...When everything is settled, I will clear your name. I promise."

"Okay, then tonight you can tell me how to use these appliances in your house, where to put some cleaning tools, and how to store and arrange clothes."

"Eh?"

"Don't look at me like that." Tsuzuki Chihiro smiled. "Just play the whole game. I'm your part-time worker now, so naturally I have to be familiar with how to do housework. Otherwise, if someone you know comes to the house and asks about me, I won't let it slip."

"Just because of this?"

Nagasaki Suyo was stunned for a moment, and a moment of loss flashed in her eyes.

At that moment, she really thought that she had become a very important friend in the heart of the girl in front of her. The other party was willing to make those sacrifices because after learning about some of her things, she understood her and wanted to help her fulfill her wish as soon as possible.

Doing housework is also a way for friends to help each other.

But now it seems that she was overthinking it... This girl named Chihiro Tsuzuki seemed to have simply treated her as an employer, and all her actions were just to complete the commission.

"What? You don't really think that I will have a relationship with you that goes beyond friendship in the future?"

"Hehe...you'd better not, when everything is over, don't kneel down and hug my thighs to beg me not to drive you away."

"Don't worry, when the time comes, you might be the one holding my thigh and begging me not to leave."

"You're thinking shit."

Chapter 42 Goal: Happy Ending! (2/2)

"Su Shi, if you don't have anything to do today, don't go out."

"...So this is why you washed all the clothes I usually wear when going out last night, leaving only one piece on you?!"

Nagasaki Suyo felt that unless she was blind, it would be impossible for her to become good friends with such a deep-minded evil woman who was always thinking ten steps ahead and who was holding back bad debts.

She originally thought that her military advisor had suddenly offered to take on all the housework last night and even prepared her a bath just for show.

Now that she thinks about it, she was still too superficial. She never imagined that this guy actually had even more outrageous plans.

"It's not like I don't have anything to wear. I have a few clothes I can lend you."

"Your clothes? Clean ones?"

"Unwashed, if you don't mind..."

"I mind it!" Nagasaki Suyo rolled her eyes and interrupted Tsuzuki Chihiro's shameless speech. "Wait, I can't remember the clothes you're wearing. Was it me who wore them before or did you take them away?"

"you guess."

"Wait, stop!"

Seeing Chihiro having changed her shoes and preparing to go out with her bass bag, Nagasaki Suyo in her pajamas trotted to the door, but found that Chihiro, like a rabbit, had already run out of the room and made a face at her at the elevator entrance.

"Why aren't you coming out? Is it because Missy is embarrassed to run around outside in her pajamas?"

"Just wait for me..."

Nagasaki Suyo looked around and considered whether it would be inappropriate if she followed him into the elevator and was discovered by people passing up and down the stairs. She stomped her feet angrily, closed the door, and went home to vent her anger.

Chihiro Tsuzuki was humming a little song while looking at the agreed meeting time that Riki sent her on her phone, thinking about how the four members of the band should communicate after they met.

Because it is the weekend and students don’t have to go to class, there are actually not many students on the subway at this time.

After all, many people want to sleep in after a busy week, whether they are students or office workers.

But for some impatient young girls who have endless youthful passion, they seem eager to finalize what they have in mind as soon as possible.

The LIVE House "RiNG" in Ikebukuro had significantly more people on weekends than usual, but most of them went straight inside to listen to the LIVE, so when Chihiro rushed to the cafe, she didn't see many other customers except Aine and the other two.

At the table near the bar, Riki seemed to have started a fight with Aine, but due to the presence of another girl, both of them restrained themselves.

And the girl with short silver-gray hair who hadn't spoken a word since she came in and only looked up after seeing herself should be the radio wave-type Takamatsu Deng that Su Shi mentioned.

It seems... it's not easy to communicate.

In addition to this, of course, there is another person that Chihiro Tsuzuki cares about very much, but because she feels guilty, she did not look at Lenna who was eating parfait.

"Su Shi."

It was Li Xi who spoke first, and then followed by Ai Yin's voice, which seemed to be trying to win favor, "Su Shi-san is here~"

Of course, there is also Xiao Deng’s “Long time no see”.

"It just so happens that classmate Su Shi is here too, so why don't we all talk about the past? Otherwise, Xiao Deng will keep hesitating."
