Chapter 147 Meeting the Parents (Miscellaneous) (4th Update)

After telling her mother, the three of them sat in the back seat of Ayano's car and prepared to leave.

"You can squeeze in a little, we'll be there soon," Gao Yumo said to them.

"It's alright, Mo Jun, it's not crowded." The little bird shook its head.

“That’s true. You’re all girls, and all very slim, so it won’t be crowded.” Gao Yumo nodded with a smile.

He looked at Ayano and said, "Today went very smoothly. The manga is finished, and we've found two members for Kotori and the others' Muse team. Congratulations!"

Before Ayano could speak, Kotori interjected, "Two? Didn't you only agree on that proposal with Ayase-senpai? It's just one, right?"

"Isn't there Tojo-senpai? The two of them are very good friends and will never be separated. Besides, do you know who gave you the names of your muse?"

Upon hearing this, the three were surprised, and the little bird exclaimed, "Could it be!?"

Gao Yumo waved her hand: "You guys know it yourselves, it has nothing to do with me."

The little bird glanced at Gao Yumo speechlessly. Was she trying to distance herself? It was clearly you who said it. Her eyes lit up and she thought of something funny. Since Mo-jun didn't want to be known, she could just tell Tojo-senpai quietly later.

However, Gao Yumo had already guessed her thoughts, so it didn't matter if she found out.

Hui Naiguo, who was standing next to her, finally understood: "You mean we'll have two new members by the end of the month? The student council vice president will also be joining?"

Umi nodded: "Yes, that's what Mo-kun means, so we'll definitely work hard for our performance at the end of the month!"

"Yes! I will definitely try my best!"

"Is Xiao Hai no longer resistant?" the little bird teased Hai Wei.

Umi blushed. She'd already said something so embarrassing, and it was even drawn in the manga. Was there any way out? Wasn't the only option to work together?

Seeing her shy expression, the little bird didn't say anything more to provoke her.

Ayano watched their interaction and thought, "It's so nice to be young." She looked at Takayuki and said, "It's going quite smoothly indeed."

"The only problem is that the updates won't be very consistent. After all, it's about their stories, and I can't just make things up. So, before things happen, I can't draw even if I want to," Gao Yumo said with some regret. This comic will become the one she updates the slowest.

"That's true. It can't compare to your other manga's three chapters a week at all. But it's just going back to our traditional one chapter a week, right?" Ayano wasn't too disappointed. At most, it's just like other ordinary manga, right?

"Do you think idol comics can have that much content? I doubt even one chapter a week is possible, but let's talk about that later." Gao Yumo shook his head. One chapter a week might be difficult, after all, how many interesting things happen to idols in their daily lives? It's impossible for readers to just watch Kotori and the others practice all the time, right? It's unrealistic. Although Gao Yumo would be quite happy to watch it, he felt that not everyone was like him.

"Ah! Ayano-san, look ahead!" Kotori suddenly exclaimed in alarm. They had already left the city and arrived in the suburbs, heading towards the picnic area. Ayano was now glancing at Takahata every now and then while talking to her, instead of looking ahead. Kotori and the other two were so frightened that they huddled together.

Even Enoko was a little afraid to watch Ayano drive, so she closed her eyes and waited for the car to reach its destination. Umi was even more scared, while Kotori, who was sitting in the middle and being held by her two friends, was also very scared, but she still reminded Ayano.

"Hmm? It's okay, don't worry about me driving," Ayano said confidently.

But even if Gao Yumo didn't have Creative Mode, she'd probably be so scared she'd be grabbing the handrail right now, right? Ayano driving is definitely scary, so it's no wonder Kotori and the others are afraid.

"Drive carefully!" Gao Yumo said sternly. Ayano shrugged, knowing that Gao Yumo would get angry if she continued like this, so she slowed down and focused on the road ahead.

Mo really isn't afraid. He's only acting this way because she scared the three people behind her; he himself isn't scared at all, and he's not pretending. He's truly impressive.

"Alright, I'm driving carefully now, you don't need to be so scared. I drive very steadily, nothing will happen." After being told off by Gao Yumo, Ayano had already started driving carefully.

But the three people in the back seat had made up their minds that they would never ride in Ayano's car again, never again!

Although Ayano drove very steadily, her speed did not decrease much, and they arrived at their destination quickly.

..

"I forgot to ask before, what kind of people are Mo Jun's family?" the little bird asked curiously, knowing that the kind of people they were would determine how they would get along with him later.

"Well, there are all kinds of people, right? They're easy to get along with, so don't worry. And I reckon they'll talk to me first after I take you there, so don't worry, they won't say anything to you."

His words left the three of them somewhat confused, especially Hui Naiguo, who couldn't imagine what kind of person Gao Yumo was talking about.

Ayano parked the car on the side of the open space, and the group got out.

After the three girls got off the bus, they understood why Mo Jun didn't know how to introduce her family to them—there were just too many! And they were all beautiful girls. Umi immediately started brainstorming: Was this Mo Jun's harem? Her face instantly turned red...

The little bird knew something about Gao Yumo's identity, so her expression was strange. Could it be something strange? She didn't have a good impression of the young master, after all, that's what they often portray in TV dramas. But Mo Jun shouldn't be that kind of person.

Hui Naiguo didn't have that many thoughts, she just felt strange seeing so many girls. Was that Mo Jun's family?

Gao Yumo didn't explain anything and simply led them over. The three of them didn't say anything either, and they would soon find out what was going on.

"Xiao Mo, you're back!" Yang Kui saw Gao Yumo return first, sat down and greeted him, smiling gently at him, glad he was back on time.

"Yes, Mom, I'll be back as soon as I finish my work. I think I'll make it in time! I told you I could make it, but you didn't believe me," Gao Yumo said with a smile. He had been lectured for a long time before he left, but actually, there was no problem with the time at all.

His address revealed to the three little birds that not everyone here was their age; one of them was actually Mo Jun's mother! His mother looked so young and beautiful! You'd never guess she was Mo Jun's mother!

However, this also made them forget their previous thoughts. This should just be an ordinary gathering. After all, Gao Yumo's mother was here, and they had a good impression of Gao Yumo. It was just that they felt strange to suddenly see so many girls, so they each had some strange impressions.

"Hello, Auntie." The three greeted Yang Kui, who smiled and nodded at them.

She had noticed the three of them a while ago and was very curious why Xiao Mo had brought back three girls after going out, and they were all wearing school uniforms, so they looked like they were from the same school.

"Xiao Zui, why don't you introduce her to us?" Yang Kui said. The girls around them all looked over, mainly at Xiao Tiao and her two friends. The three of them were a little nervous being watched by so many people, after all, they were all pretty girls, and the way they were being looked at was strange, and they didn't know what it meant.

"Oh, these are the people I went out to work on this afternoon. They are the main characters in my next comic book." Gao Yumo said with a smile, which surprised the girls. The girls looked at the three of them with even more curiosity this time.

(PS: Did you pull for the new Azur Lane collaboration? I'll be writing about Azur Lane in this book later, so please look forward to it.)

Chapter 148 Beat him up! Let him keep us in suspense! (1st update)

"Wow, are you guys going to become school idols?" Umaru went over to chat with Kotori and the others.

Gao Yumo had already told the girls about how the three of them wanted to become school idols for the sake of the school's survival. The girls found it very interesting and were surprised that such a thing existed. They all went to chat with the three of them, wanting to know the details.

The three of them were happy to talk to the girls about their lives, but their school idol life had only just begun, and there was really nothing to say about it.

"So, your brother's next manga is an idol manga?" Yuki understood. Oh, I see. That explains it.

"Yes, what do you think? You didn't expect that, did you?" Gao Yumo said with a smile. The girls nodded; they really hadn't expected it. The difference was quite significant.

"How was work today? Did you draw any comics?" Umaru asked her brother expectantly.

Gao Yumo pulled out her sketchbook directly from her bag: "Hmph, who am I! Of course I draw. This is the first chapter of the comic. Take a look."

Umaru excitedly took it, and the other girls also crowded around, wanting to see it too.

The three little birds were finally freed from being surrounded by the girls and breathed a sigh of relief. They were so enthusiastic! They walked over to Gao Yumo's side.

"Mo-kun, why are there only girls here?" Hui-nai asked the question she was curious about directly. Umi immediately pulled her back, trying to cover her mouth. Don't ask such things. It's obviously someone else's private matter.

The little bird was also very curious, but it didn't expect Xiao Guo to be so direct. These 23 questions felt so private. Is it really okay to ask them?

"Alright, it's alright, Umi-san. Enoka-san's question wasn't difficult to answer." Gao Yumo looked at the girls. "They are my family, as I said before. Several of them are my younger sisters, but that's not all. They are all girls I like. What do you think of what I'm saying?"

The three of them were shocked that Gao Yumo had spoken so directly. They didn't know what to say, since they weren't very familiar with Mo Jun and couldn't criticize her. Moreover, judging from the girls' expressions, they probably already knew, yet they were all there and seemed to have a good relationship with each other. So what right did they have to say anything? They were the outsiders.

"I'm being so frank with you because I don't want you to overthink it. We're friends now, and you'll find out about this as you get to know me better in the future," Gao Yumo said. The three nodded in agreement; it was indeed true.

"Alright, stop thinking so much. I brought you here to have fun, relax, and watch the sunset, not to think about those things. Go play with them." Gao Yumo nudged Xiao Niao's shoulder, urging her to take the other two to play.

Gao Yumo's attitude actually dispelled their strange thoughts. They had begun to understand what kind of person Mo Jun was. His directness in saying such things made them trust him even more. If he were lying to them, he might be able to fool them now, but as he said, they would eventually find out as they spent more time together. When they realized they had been deceived, they probably wouldn't be happy.

The three of them exchanged a glance, smiled, and walked towards the girls reading comics. They all seemed like easy-going girls; they'd see how they got to know each other.

Hui Naiguo quickly became friends with the girls; she had a personality that made it very easy for her to make friends.

Umi isn't quite right; she's too polite, and the girls might feel that she's not easy to approach. But some people still chat with her.

When girls are reading comics, you can ask them related questions, and they are happy to answer them.

Of course, when the girls saw Umi's embarrassing fantasy, they looked at her strangely. They didn't expect that this seemingly serious girl would have such a fantasy. But then again, she wouldn't be a school idol like the others.

Umi's face turned bright red when the manga turned to that page. Before, when only a few people knew, she felt okay. Although she was shy, she would get over it after a while. But now that more than a dozen people suddenly knew, she just wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into. But she didn't know if she had considered that even more people would know when the manga was released.

"By the way, brother, come here for a second." Yu Xi suddenly called out. Gao Yu Mo, who was chatting with Yang Kui at a distance, smiled at Yang Kui after hearing this and then walked over.

"What's wrong?" Gao Yumo asked curiously. The characters from the comics were all here, why was he being called?

“Is there something you’re curious about?” Yuki said. She had discovered something and called her brother over to ask him together.

"Um, Enoka-san, I have a question for you," Yuki asked Enoka.

"Just call me Hui Naiguo. Ask me anything you want! I'll tell you everything I know." Hui Naiguo patted her chest confidently, but Yuki felt that this girl was a bit unreliable. But since she had already asked, she decided not to change her mind.

As for Gao Yumo's understanding of Youxi, he thought she might have discovered something crucial. He smiled and looked at her expectantly.

"How many of the characters in this comic are real people? I don't think they could all be real students from your academy, right? Only a portion of them should be real students, right?" Yuki asked her question, and Gao Yumo's smile widened. Yuki had indeed figured it out. It wasn't that she was the smartest, but that she read the most comics. Kaguya, who didn't read comics at all, couldn't possibly guess what Yuki wanted to ask.

"Well," Enoka scratched her head, picked up the comic and started looking at it carefully. She really didn't know the answer when Yuki suddenly asked her that question.

Kotori and Umi also looked at the manga and helped Enoka search for it. They were also curious about what Suoh wanted to ask.

"There should be 18 people, if I counted correctly," Hui Naiguo said after a while, looking up.

Yuki nodded: "I bet you guys don't know what I want to ask right now, right?"

The three nodded, indicating they truly didn't know.

Yuki smiled and said, "Your group is called Muse, and I'm sure that wasn't just a random name, right? That means your group has nine members!"

The three nodded, and Hui Naiguo said, "Wow, you're so smart! You figured it out right away. That's right. Although there are only the three of us now, Mo Jun said before that our group should eventually have nine people. I'm also thinking about how to find a few more people later."

Kotori and Umi still hadn't figured out what Suo wanted to ask, but they had considered this matter.

But some of the girls had already figured out what Yuki was thinking.

Umaru spoke up, "Yuki, do you mean that among these people with real faces, some of them will join them?"

The three birds looked at Umaru and Yuki in surprise when they heard this. Did they really think that way?

Yuki nodded in agreement: "That's right! That's what I think too. According to my brother's idea and my years of experience reading manga, all the members of an idol group should appear once in the first chapter of an idol manga, even if they don't join in the first chapter."

The three little birds quickly picked up the comic again and flipped through it to see who might join them. They had already come to believe this guess. After all, Mo Jun couldn't have drawn those few people with real faces for no reason, while the others didn't. After all, when Mo Jun borrowed the roster before, he said that if they were future members of their Muse, they could come out even without portrait rights.

"Could it be Hideko, Fumika, and Mika?" Enoka guessed. Could it be her three friends?

"I don't know, but it shouldn't be, right?" the little bird said uncertainly, her intuition telling her otherwise.

Umi hadn't thought of that either, but actually, if you exclude the parents and family members, and the three members of A-RISE, there aren't many people left. After she shared her thoughts, Kotori and Enoka nodded in agreement. It was true; even including Enoka's friends, there were only 12 people left. And if you didn't count Enoka's friends...

Then exclude the three of them, and the two from the student council.

"So, you think the remaining few are them, Mo Jun? Will they join us in the future?" Little Bird looked at Gao Yu Mo curiously.

"Guess?" Gao Yumo gave her a look that said she wouldn't tell her, and her bird-like face puffed up in anger.

"Brother, just tell us~" Xiaomai snuggled up to Gao Yumo and acted coquettishly. This method worked best on Gao Yumo.

"This really can't be said; it can only be understood intuitively and cannot be explained in words." Gao Yumo looked determined not to say anything.

The more he acted this way, the more certain the three birds became that these were the people. Hui Naiguo kept them in mind and decided to ask them at school tomorrow!

The girls exchanged glances.

"Hit him!" someone shouted, and they rushed towards Gao Yumo, pinning him down. Of course, they couldn't really hit him hard, but it was still satisfying.

"Would you like to come too, Little Bird?" After patting Gao Yumo's stomach, Xiaomai asked Little Bird. She seemed quite angry earlier.

"No need, right?" The little bird waved its hand, feeling uneasy.

"It's okay, brother doesn't mind at all," Xiaomai said. It was just a pat on the stomach, which was just a joke to Gao Yumo. Anyway, it didn't hurt. This was his punishment for always keeping him in suspense!

"It's alright, little bird, come on." Gao Yumo said with a smile. He actually quite liked this kind of playful activity, which helped him get to know the girls better.

"Hey!" The little bird didn't hold back at all and went straight for Gao Yumo's stomach. She thought Gao Yumo would dodge when he saw her use force, but Gao Yumo just smiled and didn't dodge at all.

In the end, she herself stopped in front of Gao Yumo's stomach.

"It's pointless, you're not even afraid." The little bird shook its head, and in the end just patted Gao Yumo's stomach a few times to vent its anger. Not only today, but he had also angered it several times at the maid cafe last time! Although in the end it got a very beautiful painting.

Seeing them all hitting each other, Hui Naiguo got itchy to join in and patted Gao Yumo's stomach. But she didn't find it fun. This was simply because she wasn't angry with Gao Yumo, so she didn't feel anything.

No matter how the girls tried to persuade her, she wouldn't go. Gao Yumo's words were also useless. She told Umi Mirai that it was too shameful.

In the end, Gao Yumo's punishment resembled playful banter between the girls and him; after all, they didn't dare to hit him too hard, lest they hurt him.

Chapter 149 We all agreed to move forward together! (2 updates)

"Oh, right, Little Bird, I suddenly remembered, isn't that painting hanging in your room, the one of you in your performance costume, painted by Mo Jun?" Hui Naiguo suddenly asked Little Bird.
