MyGO? The string value monster craves the band girl!

Ah, then the money for the glass won’t be a problem!

As for that 100 million yen screen...

Marina looked at Yui Genmaki, who was browsing the photo album on her phone. She seemed to notice her gaze and shook her head slightly.

"Don't worry about compensation, classmate. It's okay."

"Ms. Marina, please make two cups of black tea for me and this classmate."

Marina looked at Yui Genmaki, who had a gentle smile on her face, and nodded, "No problem."

Mr. Genjumaki, you are indeed a gentle person like Kotobuki. After finding out that the other person is just a student, you are not going to make things difficult for him?

After watching Ms. Marina go to the second-floor cafe to prepare tea, Genmaki Yui said to the men in black in the hall, "You should go back first. I'm fine here."

When there were only two people left at the bar, and the atmosphere seemed to have lost its previous solemnity and oppression, Toyokawa Shoko mustered up the courage to bow once more to the young man in front of her, who was suspected to be Ms. Marina's boss.

"Well...after all, I have caused you so much trouble. I will not shirk my necessary responsibilities. Please don't give me such charity."

"You're thinking too much about charity." Genjumaki Wei stopped flipping through the photo album on his mobile phone and looked at Toyokawa Shoko with a teasing look in his eyes.

"This student is still a minor, right? Even the law exempts you. The obligation to compensate you will naturally be handled by your guardian. You're saying your stockings fell off... is he a student of Tsuki no Mori? Don't worry, I won't actually ask your parents to pay the full 100 million yen."

"No! Please don't do this!" Xiangzi said hurriedly and tried to stop him.

The bastard dad already has a 168 billion yen loss, and if he adds another 100 million yen in debt...

No one would force him to repay the 168 billion yen loss of the group, and after all, his father had already resigned; but the 100 million yen compensation debt might be the final straw that broke his will to survive...

"It was just a joke, Ms. Toyokawa. We said we were friends when we were little. Would I embarrass my friend over such a thing?"

Shoko Toyokawa raised her head suddenly, and then subconsciously turned her head away the next second so as not to let others see her face.

"Your Excellency is mistaken. I am not..."

He called me Miss Toyokawa... Is he someone who knows me?

The situation she wanted to avoid the most - being discovered in her miserable state by someone she knew - still happened.

But I only vaguely remembered seeing him before, so why did he recognize me right away...

Genmaki Yui shows the photos in the album to Toyokawa Shoko:

"Hey, is that you in the photo? Miss Toyokawa, have you remembered anything?"

Knowing that it was useless to hide his identity at this moment, Xiangzi bit his lip and looked at the other person's mobile phone.

In the picture, the little girl with blue hair and the little girl with blonde hair stood side by side in front of the door of their father's holiday estate, with a reserved and cheerful smile on their faces respectively.

"This is... on the island of Chuhua's family... Ah! You were from the Xianjuan family back then..."

"Xian Juan Wei."

Shoko Toyokawa felt as if all the burdens on her body had been lifted, and she felt more than twice as relaxed.

Great! It's someone who had little to do with my old social circle. Looks like I don't need to worry about my situation being spread around the world...

Xianjuan Wei raised her hand and pointed to the coffee shop at the escalator entrance on the second floor: "Let's go have a cup of tea first. Miss Fengchuan scared me tonight."

As if by reflex, Toyokawa Shoko resumed her gentle and graceful demeanor in social situations and nodded. Then she suddenly realized that there seemed to be something wrong with what the other person had just said.

In the cafe, Marina brought two cups of black tea and sugar cubes to the two of them.

"Thank you for your hard work, Ms. Marina. I'll have someone fix the window later. After you go downstairs, someone will take you home to rest."

Marina nodded and said goodbye, "Then I won't bother you two anymore."

Shoko Toyokawa took a sip of black tea, a hint of happiness in her eyes.

Although the black tea in this cafe was still far inferior to the top-quality black tea she had in her afternoon tea before, it was much better than the suspected cheap instant black tea in the small coffee shop downstairs from her rental house. It was a flavor she hadn't tasted for several months.

Perhaps it was because he suddenly relaxed after being highly nervous, and because they had only been temporary playmates a few times in childhood and had no deep friendship, Xiangzi briefly recovered his normal state.

"I'm truly sorry for causing trouble to Genjumaki-kun recently."

"I told you, Miss Toyokawa, don't worry about it. Even if it wasn't me here today, I would only go to the Toyokawa family if there was anything."

Xiangzi's expression became obviously unnatural when he mentioned "Toyokawa family".

Xianjuan Weiyi added a sugar cube to her tea while saying, "It's understandable that Ms. Fengchuan didn't recognize me when we first met. After all, it was so many years ago that I can't even remember the last time we played together."

"But seeing that you remembered me immediately from the photos I took of you and Chuhua at that time does make me feel relieved."

Xiangzi, who was drinking black tea, smiled a little more when he heard this:

"Well, even though my time with Genmaki-kun back then was brief, it was truly memorable."

"That time, Chuhua asked me to go watch the sunset together, and when we passed by Xianjuan-kun's residence, I asked you to come along..."

"Xianjuan-kun actually jumped down from the third floor, somersaulted a few times, and came right in front of us and shouted, 'Smile, yeah!' He scared Chuhua and me a lot."

"Ah, at that time..." Xianjuan Wei put down the teacup and recalled the dark history of having so much fun with Xianjuan Xin that he forgot to switch to social mode.

"My heart seemed to be catching fish at that time, otherwise you two could have experienced a double surprise."

Observing Xiangzi's expression at this moment, Xianjuanwei tilted his head and revealed a somewhat disdainful cat-like expression:

"But when I saw Ms. Toyokawa today, she didn't seem to be smiling at all."

"Are you having a conflict with your family?"

Toyokawa Shoko's palm trembled, and two drops of black tea spilled out of the cup.

"This has nothing to do with Harumaki-kun, right? Why are you saying that?"

Chapter 19 Carrying Life? How Many Should I Carry?!

"It has nothing to do with me? My heart's desire is to fill the world with smiles through my band. Even though I'm not very good at music... I don't like things like this happening right in front of me that make my friends unhappy."

When Toyokawa Shoko heard this from Genmaki Yui, she recalled the strange girl she met when she was a child. She was full of energy, did her own thing, and wanted to do happy things every day.

Although the person in front of me is the girl's brother, and the impression he left on me back then was more stable, the core of his personality of doing things his own way is exactly the same.

"It seems like there haven't been any major changes at the Toyokawa Group. So, is Miss Toyokawa delivering newspapers late at night because she's runaway or having a conflict with her family?"

Although he wanted to run away, but when he thought about the fact that he had just broken the other person's screen worth 100 million yen, Xiangzi hesitated and did not leave his seat.

"For things like this, wouldn't it be clear if Mr. Xianjuan mobilized the power of the Xianjuan family to investigate?" Xiangzi bit his lip and said unwillingly.

The boy in front of him was completely different from Nagasaki Suyo. He wasn't someone she could unilaterally cut off contact with by blocking him. Searching through all the high schools in Tokyo to find him, simply as a student, would be an almost impossible task for Suyo...

Then, relying on the power of the Genmaki family, searching for "Toyokawa Shoko" from all the high schools in Japan is just a task that will take at most three days for Genmaki Yui.

There was no unhappy expression on Xianjuan Wei's face:

"But Miss Toyokawa, you don't seem to want to see anyone right now. Going against your will and investigating you thoroughly would make you very unhappy and unhappy, wouldn't it?"

"Since Xianjuan-kun knows exactly what I'm thinking, please don't delve into my situation so deeply!"

"So that's what I'm asking. If Ms. Toyokawa is willing to tell me, then there won't be any problem."

"...I'm just moving out temporarily. There's no other problem. Due to our past friendship, I'll leave you with nothing more than this. As for other matters, please respect my privacy."

"Yeah, I understand. I wonder if Ms. Toyokawa usually plays games, but I'm probably one of those people who... doesn't like using cheats to auto-complete levels. Spending time repeatedly failing and challenging, relying on my own intelligence and physical strength to complete levels and earn rewards is also part of the gaming experience."

As he spoke, Xian Juanwei stood up and walked to the bar of the cafe, took out two pieces of tiramisu from the freezer, and brought one in each hand to the dining table.

"But, Ms. Toyokawa, are you doing this unskilled, manual labor job like delivering newspapers because your family has cut off your pocket money?"

Facing the tiramisu right in front of her, Shoko Toyokawa swallowed her saliva and shook her head repeatedly.

"Xianjuan-kun, your constant questioning is really bothering me!"

"I have a job that's perfect for Miss Toyokawa, but there's no one who's taking it yet. Would you like to come and earn some pocket money, Miss Toyokawa?"

Xian Juanwei took out his cell phone and looked through the chat history.

Under the table, Xiangzi clenched his hands into fists after hearing these words, which were exposed from the sleeves of his red sportswear.

Why does she work day and night delivering newspapers and working as a customer service representative?

Isn't it just... that you don't want your embarrassing situation to be seen by old friends?

"A job that's just right for me? That's really...condescending. Are you giving me charity, Genjutsu-kun?"

Xianjuan Wei simply opened the file sent to her by the man in black, which contained information about many firms, and then pushed the phone in front of Xiangzi.

"There's nothing in the Xianjuan Group that urgently needs me to take on responsibility, so I'll be free to choose my career path for quite a while. Compared to the scale of the Xianjuan Group, it doesn't really matter whether I go into high-tech, real estate, or entertainment."

"Now is the era of big girl bands, so I planned to acquire an agency some time ago. This is the agency form that the people from the consortium helped me put together. For the future development of the agency, I need the help of a high-level music producer, and Ms. Fengchuan's qualifications fully meet the needs."

The performance, size and valuation of each firm are densely arranged on the mobile phone screen. The information is quite complete and rigorous, and it is obvious that it has been carefully prepared.

In other words, the "job suitable for her" proposed by Xianjuan Wei was not a spur-of-the-moment charity or invitation, but... there was indeed a demand for such a position.

Knowing that he had said the wrong thing and suspected that he had an excessive sense of self-existence, Xiangzi's cheeks turned slightly red with shame for a moment, but he immediately tightened his face to prevent the soft and sticky Xiaoxiang from reviving.

"When we were on vacation on the island as kids, Xiangzi admitted to Chuhua that we were friends, right?"

Xianjuan Wei suddenly changed the name to the familiar one used by her childhood playmate, which made Xiangzi's brain unable to react for a moment.

"Eh? So what..."

"As friends, isn't it normal to try to shoulder each other's burdens when the other person is facing difficulties in life? Does Xiangzi think that Chuhua would refuse to help you if he could?"

"Please stop being so childish!"

I don’t know what keyword triggered it, but Xiangzi suddenly stood up, clenched his fists and trembled slightly all over. He lowered his head and looked unwilling and delicious.

"Xianjuan-kun is just a student. What qualifications do you have to bear the burden of other people's lives?!"

"Things like, let's shoulder each other's burdens as much as possible... Such heavy words shouldn't be spoken so casually!"

"...Whatever?" Xian Juanwei put down the cup and spoon that was stirring the sugar cubes, raised his head, and looked calmly at the out-of-control Xiangzi.

The spoon made a "ding" sound when it hit the wall of the teacup.

Xian Juanwei pushed the chair away, stood up calmly, and looked down at Xiangzi who looked out of control.

Not only was the other party not ashamed of his questioning, but he was ready to confront him without any panic. The development of the situation suddenly exceeded Xiangzi's expectations.

"Who am I to shoulder the responsibility of carrying the lives of others? Ha...how many people does Xiangzi want me to carry?"

Sensing that something was wrong, Xiangzi couldn't help but take two steps back under Xianjuanwei's unconcealed gaze.

"As the eldest daughter of the Xiangzi Fengchuan Group, whether it's ten or a hundred, for a day, a year, or a lifetime, I can bear it."

"As a friend, please don't doubt my ability and determination, Xiangzi."

Xianjuan Wei felt that maybe it was because she was too easy to talk tonight that Xiangzi's defense was inexplicably broken and he started breathing out of habit.

however……

He was not like Takamatsu Deng and Wakaba Mutsu, who would not fight back against Xiangzi.

"You... please don't say such nonsense and drop your stockings!"

Although Xiaoxiang, who suffered a counterattack, still maintained the resolute expression of a working god, his words unconsciously became softer.

Xianjuanwei continued to look directly at Xiangzi's determined eyes, which were tinged with a little grievance, without any hesitation.

"Isn't that Xiangzi?"

"I meant every word I said tonight. Why would Xiangzi doubt me? Could it be that Xiangzi is being so casual and frivolous with my friend that he's judging me by his own standards?"

Xiangzi's fingers were clenched around the corner of his red sportswear, and he looked like he might burst into tears at any moment.

"You are just a student who has never experienced the hardships of life. Don't speak such heavy words about life!"

Xianjuan Wei stared at Xiangzi for at least ten seconds, and chuckled as Xiangzi became increasingly uneasy.

"Xiangzi, I graduated from college three months ago. Although I'm not yet of age, I'm already an independent person in the social sense."

"No matter how long life is, it's only a hundred or eighty years. Why does Xiangzi think I'm unworthy of saying such words? Are you questioning my determination to fulfill my promise, or my ability to protect others as the heir to the Genjumaki Group? Whether as a friend or in other identities, since I have agreed to bear the responsibilities for each other, I will fulfill it to the end no matter what."

"Does Xiangzi think I'm the kind of pushover who insists on taking responsibility for another person's life for no reason? I visited Aunt Ruihui when she was receiving treatment in the United States. Her wish was that even if she left, Xiangzi could live a happy life without being bullied. She didn't ask me for anything, but I agreed to her decision on my own. The way you are now, not only can't I, your friend, bear to see you, but I'm afraid even Aunt Ruihui would feel bad for you."

"By the way, Xiangzi, did you know that just a few days ago... it seemed that the person who was drinking tea and chatting with me face to face at this table, right in your seat... was Nagasaki Suyo!"

Chapter 20: Nagasaki Suyo? What is she doing here?

Nagasaki Suyo?

What is she here to stir up?

No, the question is, with Nagasaki Motoyo's identity, how could she get in touch with the people from the Genmaki family and have tea with them?
