He took his hands out of his pockets and blew some air into them. "But Xiangzi, you're really late coming home. What were you doing out there?"

"That's all for you to worry about,"

He frowned slightly, then turned and headed towards the coffee shop. "Also, I'm deeply sorry to have kept you waiting for so long... But I'm more curious about how you found this place."

"Adults naturally have their own ways."

He said, following Xiangzi's pace, "But it's clearly night time, and there's no light on in any room of the apartment."

"Yeah, maybe, I just don't like turning on the lights."

"Oh, I see. I thought I was in the wrong place."

"..."

Xiangzi, who was walking in front, didn't say anything, and Mori Minami didn't get angry. She just followed Xiangzi silently.

This child's changes... are greater than I imagined...

Chapter 342: Four people together.

"Everyone wants to stay? No problem."

The sofa in the living room of Pochi's house was rarely filled with people.

Upon learning that everyone was planning to stay overnight, Goto's father expressed his approval, "Since it's summer vacation, we should visit each other after all."

"Eh? ...Is...is that so?"

I had originally thought that agreeing to let Lenna and Aine stay here without my permission would cause trouble for Mom and Dad, but it turns out... this is just the most normal thing, right?

"Yeah, so it's okay to stay here for as long as you want. Just treat it like your own home."

Goto's father nodded with satisfaction. His eldest daughter could communicate with others normally, and even stayed at each other's homes like now, and she could laugh happily.

"No... won't it cause trouble for my uncle and aunt?"

Aine scratched her head. Her own impulsive behavior outside the door just now made her feel a little uneasy. Could she really live with Pochi peacefully after throwing a tantrum like that? "Or... I'd better go back..."

"It's okay, it's good to have more people at home."

Michiyo smiled and paid more attention to Aine, a child with pink hair like her family members, "Aine, there's no need to be so restrained."

"Yes, Yili and Erli, even Jimmy Hen is so happy, there is no reason to kick you out."

"Okay... okay."

With what Pochi's parents said, I've somewhat dispelled my worries. As long as... I talk to my mother properly, it should be fine...

"Goo~"

Just when no one was talking and it was a little quiet, a strange sound was heard, attracting everyone's attention.

"I'm hungry."

Being stared at by everyone, Lenai didn't react in particular. She looked up at Pochi and said nonchalantly.

"Eh...eh? Didn't Lenai have dinner tonight?"

"No, I was kicked out by my grandma."

Reaching out and tugging at Pochi's sleeve, he looked even more pitiful, "I want to eat soba noodles."

"Eh? This..."

Do you have buckwheat noodles or something like that at home?

……

"I'm full~"

In Pochi's room, after eating the noodles that Goto's mother made for her, Lenai rubbed her stomach, burped softly, then lay on the ground and stretched, "Delicious~"

"That's good..."

Seeing Lenai lying comfortably beside me, I felt a little relieved. It would be difficult if Lenai couldn't get used to the food at home, as she was probably a bit picky about food.

"Then I'll take the bowl to the kitchen."

Pochi stood up and walked out of the room with the bowl in his hand. Then the three people who stayed overnight were left in the room staring at each other.

"Is this... really okay?"

Aine first looked at Mu, who was completely motionless beside her, and Rakuna, who was lying on the tatami mat on the other side with her eyes closed as if ready to sleep, and spoke with some uneasiness.

"Three of us, all living in Pochi's house, it's going to cause trouble for Pochi."

"Hmm~"

Lenai, who was lying on the ground, made a "hmm" sound and then fell silent, as if she was really about to fall asleep.

Aiyin could only look at Mu next to her, hoping she would give some reaction, "Where's Mu? You've been living here for a few days now, how are you feeling?"

"Yeah, sleeping with Pochi is very comfortable."

“…That’s not the feeling!”

Aine was a little overwhelmed. Why was it so difficult for Kazumu and Lenai to communicate? They were both guitarists, so shouldn't they be able to understand each other a little bit?

"I mean……"

He took a deep breath and reorganized his words, "Is it true that living here won't cause trouble for Pochi?"

"Trouble? Why?"

Mu tilted his head and looked at Aine with some doubt. For Mu, this place felt more like home than the single-family apartment before.

In the past, maybe that place was just a place for me to rest.

"Uh...it's just..."

For a moment, I was at a loss for words. Yeah, why was I so uneasy? I was only staying at Pochi's house for a while, so why...

There is an inexplicable heat in my heart...

"I am back."

Before Aine could reply, Pochi opened the door and walked in, then saw Lenna lying on the ground, and Mu and Aine staring at each other beside her.

"What...what happened?"

It seems so too. Aine and Mutsuki... Actually, they are not that familiar with each other. And the same goes for Lenai. "By the way, Lenai will catch a cold if she sleeps on the floor like this."

"Oh~"

Lenai rolled on the ground twice, but did not get up. For Lenai, being at Pochi's house was indeed as comfortable as being at home.

"If you want to sleep, go to bed."

Pochi said as he nudged Lenai, but there was still no response. "Also, you have to take a shower first. Erli is taking a shower now. Who should take a shower first?"

"Shower? I want to join Pochi."

Lenai, who had been lying there motionless just now, seemed to have been pressed a switch when she heard the word "bath". She immediately sat up from the ground and stuck to Pochi.

"Eh... up?"

I remember the first time Lenai moved in, I helped her blow dry her hair. It was true that if four people took turns washing it, it would be a bit too slow.

that……

He turned around and looked at Lenai. Her body was much smaller than his own, and her clothes were a little loose. From his angle, he could easily see some magical sights that shouldn't be seen by others. "That...that's not impossible..."

Seeing Pochi's visibly flushed cheeks, Aine and Mu were stunned for a moment, then looked at each other, "Then... then let's all go together..."

"Everyone...get up?"

"Yeah, the bathroom at Pochi's house is big enough to accommodate so many people..."

What on earth was I talking about... This kind of talk was too embarrassing. Chihaya Aine looked at Mu next to her. It seemed unrealistic to expect Mu to say anything. "It's just... it's just that we can't use the bathtub at the same time. Showering or something is also fine."

"Well...it seems so..."

Pochi scratched his head. He had seen on TV that girls took baths in hot springs together. In comparison, bathing together was quite normal.

"By the way, Xiaomu, have you been taking a bath with Pochi these days?"

Aiyin turned around and looked at Mu. She had said all the shameful things, so Mu had to explain this matter as well.

"Eh? No, they all... took turns washing..."

Although I did take showers with her at Mu's house before...

"Oh, yes."

As for Xiao Mu, for the time being, he can still be considered a comrade in the united front...

"Then...get up and take a shower."

"Yeah." X3.

Chapter 343: High above.

"Two cups of Darjeeling tea, please."

Sitting down in the coffee shop, Shoko Toyokawa took the initiative to place an order with the waiter next to her.

"Ok."

Until the waiter left, Mori Minami didn't say much, quietly looking across at Toyokawa Shoko. The brighter environment, unlike before, allowed her to observe this junior, whom she was quite familiar with, more clearly.

Compared to the cheerful and lively young lady who was obviously well-raised more than a year ago, the girl named Toyokawa Shoko at this moment has no trace of her former childishness on her face.

When did Mu grow up to be like this? I subconsciously thought about this, but then I remembered that I hadn't seen Mu for a year, and I came here just for Mu's sake. Maybe Mu's changes were beyond my imagination.

"Are you looking for me because of Mu?"

After placing the order, Xiangzi asked, saying that he took the initiative to place the order in order to take the initiative in the conversation.

"I didn't say my tastes are the same as before."

Xiangzi frowned at the irrelevant answer. Minami Mori, an actress who had become famous very early on and a former friend of his mother, was naturally not that simple.

Moreover, unlike her mother's personality, the woman in front of her seemed more...utilitarian, which was why she chose to marry that man.

"Really? I thought people weren't that fickle at least."

"hehe,"

Hearing Xiangzi's somewhat rude words, Mori Minami laughed and said, "I like the way you speak. It's different from your mother and father."

"..."

Hearing her mention her parents, Xiangzi's brows furrowed even more. I wanted to rest, but now I have to deal with these things...

"If you're just here to catch up, then we'll have to meet again some other time. I have other things to attend to."

Xiangzi stood up and said, "Please don't squat in front of other people's houses next time. It bothers me a lot."

"To work on something else... your new band?"

Even though Xiangzi had stood up, the woman barely raised her head, remaining unmoved. "Is her name... Ave Mujica?"

"..."

Xiangzi took a deep breath and sat down again. AveMujica was still in its infancy and could not withstand the impact of public opinion. "What exactly do you want to do?"

"No, I'm just curious why you didn't include Mu in your band."

"Mu himself refused."

"Oh?"

This time the woman finally looked up, showing interest. "You mean, Mu, rejected your invitation?"

The word 'you' was deliberately pronounced with emphasis, which made Xiangzi feel a little unhappy. "Yes, Mu has changed. Don't look at her with the same eyes as before."

"Mu is my daughter. What you said really makes me feel... sad."

"Hello, this is your Darjeeling black tea. Please enjoy it."
