After being elected as the governor of Tokyo, he will debut as a band!

Shoko Toyokawa put aside the embarrassing memory of almost wetting herself in fear when she was pinned against the wall by Motoyo Nagasaki earlier, walked to Motoyo Nagasaki's bedroom door, and without knocking, simply cleared her throat and said:

"Su Shi, now that you understand my stance, could you tell me yours as well?"

The bedroom door swung open with a "whoosh," and Nagasaki Motoyo, her eyes slightly red and her hair disheveled, looked at her. She gave off the feeling of a wife whose husband had been out all night having an affair and who had stayed up all night in the living room, her eyes filled with suppressed resentment.

I wonder how much of this resentment stemmed from anger and embarrassment.

When Toyokawa Shoko met her gaze, she immediately felt a chill run down her spine.

Although people often say, "Nothing ventured, nothing gained," if there happens to be a hungry tigress in the tiger's den, then let alone the "tiger cubs," the hunter's own life is in danger.

Toyokawa Shoko felt that Nagasaki Motoyo in front of her had the air of a hungry tigress.

"Soyo..."

Before she could even utter a word to Nagasaki Motoyo to calm down, the latter suddenly reached out and grabbed her arm.

Nagasaki Motoyo's strength was even comparable to that of Wakaba Mutsumi (Sumi)...

"Since Xiao Xiang wants to know my attitude, then come and experience it for yourself."

After saying this, Nagasaki Motoyo didn't wait for Toyokawa Shoko's reply before dragging her into the bedroom, then slamming the door shut and locking it.

"Xiao Xiang!"

Sanjiao Chuhua, who was waiting in the living room downstairs, suddenly became anxious.

She ran to the door of Nagasaki Motoyo's bedroom and frantically turned the doorknob, but of course it was no use. The door was locked. You're not Spider-Man. Even a peasant girl like Joan of Arc couldn't break the lock with just her wrist strength.

After a dozen or so pointless attempts, one eventually comes to their senses.

Opening the door is impossible, so we have to find another way.

She looked around, spotted a window, and rushed over, intending to open it and climb over from the outside of the building.

However, in order to prevent objects from being thrown from high-rise buildings and people from falling, the windows on the top floor of these high-end apartments are sealed shut. Ventilation relies entirely on a fresh air system, and all the glass is tempered glass, which is more sturdy than ordinary wooden doors. You might not even be able to break it with a hammer.

In her desperation, Sanjiao Chuhua could only smash the glass with her elbow. However, after only a few smashes, her elbow hurt so much that she couldn't lift it, and she could only pace around anxiously.

Ruo Yemu (Mo) couldn't stand it anymore. She walked up to Chu Hua and punched her without saying a word, stunning Chu Hua.

"It's precisely in times like these that we need to stay calm!"

"But……"

Chu Hua's eyes cleared a little, but she was still mostly bewildered.

Xiao Mu pulled her arm back to the bedroom door and let her lean against the door to listen to the sounds inside.

The conversation coming from inside the door was somewhat unclear, but the tone was fairly normal.

"See? Su Shi just wants to talk to Xiangzi alone. You don't need to worry so much."

Although Misaka was still somewhat skeptical, Wakaba Mutsu gave her a very convincing feeling at this moment, which calmed her agitated emotions slightly, and she did not do anything rash.

But she still decided to stay by the door and not leave for a moment.

Ruoye Mu (Mo) stared at her for a while, and sensing her determination to wait by the door, he stopped trying to persuade her and went to find Aoyama Muka and Chihaya Aine.

Her words just now were actually just to comfort Mikasa. In reality, how could we possibly know what Nagasaki Motoyo and Toyokawa Shoko were doing in the bedroom based on just a few vague words coming from inside the door?

Ruo Ye Mu (Mo)'s idea was to calm Sanjiao Chuhua down and then persuade her to leave with him, but since she insisted on staying and listening to what was happening inside through the door, Ruo Ye Mu (Mo) could only respect her choice—Metis was not some willful little girl who insisted that others follow her ideas (otherwise she would kneel down and beg her).

"Miss Triangle, take care... Also, if you see anything you don't want to see, try your best to stay calm. Even if you tell yourself 'I misunderstood,' it's better than resorting to violence."

The path must be good.

After leaving behind this kind reminder, Ruoye Mu (Mo) resolutely left.

I have a feeling this person is a bit dangerous.

……

Contrary to the storm that Toyokawa Shoko had imagined, Nagasaki Motoyo's imposing aura vanished almost instantly after she was pulled into the bedroom.

She sat down on the edge of her bed, looking lost and dejected, her gaze towards Toyokawa Shoko becoming vacant.

From the moment she heard Wakaba Mutsumi say that she had joined another band, Nagasaki Motoyo felt like she was ready to give up.

There's no way you can revive Crychic by yourself alone.

But without Crychic, what could he rely on to sustain his feelings for Xiaoxiang?

"Xiao Xiang, you must think I'm ridiculous, right? Going to this extent for a band from a year ago."

"I just want everyone to create new memories together... Is it really that difficult? First it was you, Xiao Xiang, then Li Xi, Xiao Deng, and finally even Xiao Mu no longer misses Crychic. Maybe Crychic really can only be a memory?"

“I always felt that Crychic should become a perfect memory, so it shouldn’t have ended so suddenly on that rainy day a year ago. But now it seems I was wrong. I think I should have put more emotion into the current band and into Michon…”

"In the future, I might be able to compete on the same stage with Xiao Mu's band or Xiao Xiang's band. Wouldn't that be great?"

As Nagasaki Motoyo spoke, her voice choked with emotion, and tears streamed down her face.

"I'm sorry, Xiao Xiang... I lost my composure."

"Can you stay with me today? I promise that starting tomorrow, I will participate in the activities of the Misty Band properly... and I won't miss Crychic anymore."

Mikami Hatsuka sat outside Nagasaki Motoyo's door all night.

In this situation, even if she tried to convince herself that "Xiao Xiang was just discussing band matters with Nagasaki inside," she couldn't deny that something she couldn't accept might have happened in the room.

But since things had come to this, she could only accept reality—whatever happened, she would talk about it after Toyokawa Shoko came out.

It was almost six in the morning, and the morning light shone in through the window, falling on Sanjiao Chuhua's face.

Her dark circles were particularly noticeable.

"Click——"

The sound of the lock turning came from the bedroom door of Nagasaki Motoyo. Mikasa Hatsuka suddenly looked up and saw Toyokawa Shoko tiptoeing out of the bedroom and then carefully closing the door.

"Xiao Xiang! You're finally out!"

Sanjiao Chuhua almost cried with joy.

"Shh!"

Toyokawa Shoko quickly gestured for Mikasa to be quiet.

She had only managed to put Nagasaki Motoyo to sleep thanks to the boundless energy she inherited from her bastard father (whose liver could handle 24 bottles of beer and 1 liter of sake a day, how could it not be full of energy?), and only then did she have a chance to escape his clutches. If she made any noise now and woke Nagasaki Motoyo up, she was afraid she would be dragged back again.

Good heavens, I've been working like a hawk all night...

After confirming that there was no new movement in the bedroom, Toyokawa Shoko finally breathed a sigh of relief, took Mikasa Hatsuka's hand, and fled straight from the Nagasaki Soseki family home.

"Chuhua, did you wait for me at the door all night?"

Only then did Toyokawa Shoko dare to speak to Mikasa Hatsuka in a normal voice.

"Hmm... I'm worried about your safety, Xiaoxiang. Did Nagasaki-kun do anything too outrageous to you?"

While being dragged along, Chu Hua also observed Xiangzi's clothes. The clothes were covered in wrinkles, obviously because he hadn't taken them off all night... In addition, Xiangzi had a strong odor, which was also the smell of not taking off his clothes all night.

This put Chu Hua at ease, but to be on the safe side, she still needed to get confirmation from Xiangzi himself.

"Nothing... I just sat there and listened to Su Shi talk nonsense all night..."

Toyokawa Shoko spoke lightly, but she just didn't want Misaka Hatsuka to worry. In reality, she was on high alert all night, clutching her collar with her left hand and covering her skirt with her right, her arms aching but she didn't dare let go.

Fortunately, the matter is over. Nagasaki Motoyo promised that after tonight, she would no longer hold the idea of ​​reviving C-group, and would wholeheartedly work hard for M-group to achieve a good ranking in the music awards.

"That's good……"

Mitsumi Hatsuka has always unconditionally trusted Toyokawa Shoko's words.

“But Chu Hua,” Xiangzi looked at Chu Hua’s dark circles, “you have really dark circles under your eyes. Didn’t you sleep all night? You should go back and rest as soon as possible.”

"Huh? Is it that bad?" Chu Hua quickly pulled out her small mirror and saw her haggard reflection. She couldn't help but smile bitterly. "I can't perform on stage like this... I'll have to ask Mana to go with me to apologize to our manager for today's recording."

"By the way, Xiao Xiang, you didn't sleep well last night either, did you? Would you like to come to my place to rest? It just so happens that I live not too far from here."

Upon hearing this, Toyokawa Shoko quickly shook her head. She wasn't worried about being locked up by Chu Hua again if she went to Chu Hua's house, but rather she was anxious to go home to prepare the piece for the music competition. Since the band activities could continue, the most urgent task was to get this done. The sooner it was done, the sooner Mizuki could start practicing, and the greater their chances of winning in the competition.

Seeing her resolute attitude, Sanjiao Chuhua could only watch her leave with regret.

……

Nagasaki Motoyo slept exceptionally peacefully until dawn, when she naturally woke up in the sunlight.

"Xiao Xiang has already left."

Looking at the empty space beside her, she felt a sense of emptiness in her heart.

Well, being able to conclude Crychic with a night of heartfelt conversation with Xiaoxiang is a satisfactory conclusion for me.

One should be content.

She got up, washed up, and went to the kitchen to make herself breakfast, but as she passed through the living room, she suddenly noticed an unfamiliar cell phone on the coffee table.

She recognized Xiangzi's, Xiaomu's, and Aiyin's cell phones; none of them looked like this.

"Is this Chu Hua's phone?"

Nagasaki Motoyo picked it up and lightly touched the lock screen button.

As a result, more than thirty missed calls and LINE messages suddenly appeared on the screen.

They were all sent by people named Mana and her manager.

……

Aoyama arrived at his office in the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building. As soon as he sat down on the sofa, his personal secretary, Yukino Yukinoshita, handed him the meeting schedule for the day.

He glanced at it, thought there was no problem, and indicated that it should be done. However, Yukino Yukinoshita, who had received the reply, did not leave, but stood there with a hesitant look on her face.

"Is there anything else, Ms. Yukinoshita?" Aoyama asked.

“There’s a last-minute meeting, and I’m not sure if I should join it. The other party said that as long as you hear his name, they will definitely be willing to meet with him.”

"Who's so arrogant?"

"It is... Mr. Nantian Yourui of the Neon Dance Troupe."

"Nantian?"

Aoyama was a little suspicious. This person should be busy taking stock of the group's assets and maintaining close relationships with the media right now, so why did he have time to come here to see me...?

Furthermore, given the current bad reputation of your Neja Group within the Cabinet, there's no way I could possibly meet with him at the Metropolitan Government Office. He should know that himself; he secretly went to my office to see me yesterday. How could he be so bold today?

Something's definitely fishy going on...

After thinking for a while, Aoyama suddenly thought of the Triangle First Flower.

Could it be that this girl stayed at Nagasaki Motoyo's house all night and didn't come out? When the situation was reported to Nantian, he mistakenly thought that I had "taken her in" and that we were now "one of our own," which is why he swaggered over to my door, wanting to get more practical support from me?

If that's the case, then he must be an idiot.

What kind of politician would team up with a disreputable group just because of a woman?

“Have someone ask Mr. Nantian to leave and make it clear to him that I will not see him again, not just today, but in the future.”

Aoyama gave this reply.

Yukino nodded and withdrew.

Her father was, after all, a member of the Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly, and he knew a little about the mess that the Neijing Group had been making these past few days. So, from the bottom of her heart, she hoped that Aoyama would refuse to meet with Minamida Yurui.

Aoyama stayed at the Metropolitan Government Building until noon, and after having a meeting with personnel from the Urban Development Bureau on residential land development and building guidance, he set off to meet a United Nations Goodwill Ambassador from the United States.

Originally, the meeting did not require the presence of Tokyo Governor Aoyama, as officials from the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare and the Agency for Child Policy and Management would have been responsible for the arrangements. However, since this distinguished guest was an old friend of Aoyama's, the Cabinet felt that it would be more appropriate for Aoyama to receive the guest both officially and privately. Therefore, a semi-public luncheon was specially arranged, and Aoyama was invited to attend.

This man, Coben Coolidge, was not only a charity ambassador but also a world-renowned rock star. In his youth, he suffered greatly from mental anguish due to disagreements with his management company and the pressure of being forced to create overly commercial music under contractual obligations, even contemplating suicide several times.

Later, he embarked on a philanthropic career, finding meaning in life by aiding those in need in Africa, Southeast Asia, India, and other regions. His depression completely disappeared, and he even handled his lawsuit with his former record label with a cheerful attitude. He no longer took the nasty questions from the media to heart. He transformed from someone who was on the verge of collapse under external pressure into an optimistic rock artist.

Even the style of the rock band he led shifted from the somber and resentful heavy metal rock to digital rock.

He and Aoyama met a year ago at the Phnom Penh Development Declaration Organization Conference, where he attended as a charity ambassador and Aoyama was a member representing the National Relations Coordination Committee.
