Losing money, mygo, what does it mean that I really lost money?

This is probably what a vibrant young girl looks like.

Meow Dream and Chihaya Aine also secretly watched the second generation members practice for a while.

"Wow, veMjic is amazing!"

Chihaya Aine has completely become a fan of the second generation members. She excitedly pulled Ima Teruyuki aside to talk about her feelings, without any sense of the difference between the president and the artist. "Although I don't quite understand what you mean by rebellion and resistance to parental control, president, I really love the concept of veMjic!"

"I feel it's mainly thanks to the agency," Miao Mengqin said. "And Mortis seemed a bit out of sorts. Did someone much better than him come along and he got completely outmatched?"

"Really? That can't be right."

Chihaya Aine listened to veMjic's rehearsal for a while, and while she was impressed, it wasn't a waste for her to be the rhythm guitarist for such a talented lead guitarist. This Wakaba Mutsumi is too hard on himself.

"By the way, I remember when Little Arale was telling us about Crychic, didn't she say at the end, 'I've never felt happy playing in a band'?"

Chihaya Aine remembered that Wakaba Mutsu and Toyokawa Shoko had a Crychic past.

She speculated about the relationship between the two:

"This is probably Toyokawa Shoko trying to ease her guilt about breaking up Crychic... To make it up to her, Oblivionis will treat her well, right?"

"You're overthinking it, Ai-yin. Neither the lead singer nor the keyboardist actually have the ability to unite the team as one. I still have more faith in our Momoka."

Meow Dream analyzed the situation for Chihaya Aine, but Aine turned around and looked back, completely bewildered. "I thought Momoka-san was listening to our conversation right behind us."

Fortunately, she glanced around and didn't see Momoka Kawaragi.

A question mark slowly appeared above Miaomeng's head.

The purple wildcat tilted its head:

"What do you mean?"

"It's one of those classic scenes from comics."

Chihaya Aine pointed her finger, “When I was badmouthing Momoka to your face, Momoka just happened to appear behind me and look at me with eyes that could kill me, and then, I just happened to say something about her liking to drink and not having any idol manners, and she caught me and promoted me to a higher position and made me work hard to train.”

"You guessed all of this?" Momoka Kawara said.

......

Chihaya Aine was taken away by Kawara Momoka.

Meanwhile, Wakaba Mutsumi, the subject of the conversation, mechanically followed behind Toyokawa Shoko. The pale green-clad girl, who seemed to have stepped out of a fairytale, now appeared as if she had lost her soul, her face deathly pale. Part Two

Even a small step felt incredibly long to her.

"it's beautiful."

Shoko Toyokawa suddenly stopped and looked towards the river.

Her face was illuminated by the glow of the setting sun.

The orange sun peeked through the gaps between the office buildings, casting layers of molten gold clouds. Toyokawa Shoko, brimming with confidence, felt everything was on the right track, and the future seemed like the radiant glow of a setting sun, brilliant and dazzling.

"Let veMjic sing praises to the animation industry, Mutsu, let's do it together."

She was having a pleasant one-way chat with Wakaba Mutsu.

Toyokawa Shoko was already used to Wakaba Mutsumi's lack of response; Wakaba Mutsumi had always been like that. (IV)

As for his father, who was lying at home drunk, Xiangzi also had his own thoughts.

She wants Kiyoshi Toyokawa to start a live stream.

Even if it meant forcing him to livestream himself drinking, Toyokawa Shoko was determined to change his current state of doing nothing. As long as one has something to do, one's mental state won't be decadent.

She took out her phone to take a picture of the sunset, but unexpectedly discovered a familiar golden figure on the city's big screen. The name of the group Smimi was written next to her and another person.

"...Huh? Chu Hua?"

Toyokawa Shoko was quite surprised, "Didn't the agency arrange for her to be a first-generation member? How could this be...?"

In early spring this year, Mitsumi Hatsuka added her in the contact information and talked to her about her entry into the idol industry. Toyokawa Shoko gave her some encouragement. Later, Shoko "reunited" with Nakamachi Arale at a high-end vocal training classroom, and the two had a fateful reunion.

At the time, Toyokawa Shoko thought that Hatsuka had suffered a setback in the idol industry, so she carefully did not mention it. The e-accounts were different, so she also assumed that Hatsuka had changed her account, since Hatsuka's original account had not sent any messages after chatting for a few minutes that day, which made sense.

"Mu, wait a moment, I'll make a call."

Toyokawa Shoko still wanted to confirm with Nakamachi Arale.

Ruo Yemu looked up at her back with a somewhat haggard expression, then silently stood still in the center of her dark shadow, lowering her head again, her eyes and the girl's delicate nose covered by shadow.

She never felt happy at Crychic.

Just like this afternoon, Wakaba Mutsu was not happy at all.

She was merely keeping Toyokawa Shoko company.

The image of Toyokawa Shoko in front of Wakaba Mutsuki flashed and overlapped with the image of Toyokawa Shoko she had seen in the past, gradually shrinking to the size of a television screen. Then, rain began to fall beside that television, and the sky was no longer a brilliant sunset, but a gloomy gray rainy day. The words that Toyokawa Shoko had once said replayed in her ears.

"Mu, you give your opinion on the band's skill level!"

Toyokawa Shoko suddenly turned around and stared at her fiercely with an aggressive gaze.

"You're completely not up to the standard to stand on stage, are you?"

"Crychic, you're not good enough!"

Some members of the band lacked professional ethics.

"..." Wakaba Mutsu listened absentmindedly to Toyokawa Shoko's accusations against him.

She didn't seem to say that that day, but in Wakaba Mutsuji's memory, she had already changed it to Toyokawa Shoko's accusation against her. Yes, her guitar skills were terrible.

From Wakaba Mutsu's perspective, it's like Shoko immediately sought out the powerful Goto Ichiri after criticizing her own lack of skill.

...Isn't this better?

Goto Ichiri's guitar is happily singing its own song.

And she... and her guitar... was nothing but a poor imitation.

Main text: Chapter 64 (Chapter 61) - Cohabitation Exposed, Idol Life Ends Here.

Many small things happened that night.

Ima Teruyuki and Nakamachi Arale watched Himeko's debut episode together.

Her unique voice instantly attracted the attention of many first-time viewers. With the popularity of Sakura Aine and Nekomushi, she gained 15 subscribers on YouTube on her debut day, which is quite impressive.

Shoko Toyokawa is brainstorming ideas for Hatsune Miku.

An and Subaru rested their chins on their hands, listening to "Black Sheep" repeatedly in their room.

Invited by Momoka Kawaraki, Inori Seragi rents an apartment in Toshima Ward with her. Inori Seragi is focused on preparing for university. She has already made up her mind that "even if I don't go to university, I will still play veMjic," which makes Momoka Kawaraki feel very troubled, not knowing how to persuade her not to go to university.

After Ichiri Goto showed off her contract with ExElio, the Goto couple burst into tears of joy. Their little sister, Jiri Goto, also commented that this was a turning point for her older sister.

Meanwhile, in Setagaya Ward.

9. In the empty room, Wakaba Mutsu stared blankly at the cold, high-hanging moonlight outside the window.

She tried to fall asleep many times, but failed each time.

The difference in guitar skills, Goto Ichiri, and such things were unimportant to Wakaba Mutsumi. What mattered, and what frightened her, was that Wakaba Mutsumi realized she seemed to be no longer needed by Toyokawa Shoko.

What she fears most is not being needed.

Everything that Mizuki Yoshimi has now exists solely for the sake of others. Now that she is no longer needed, and since Toyokawa Shoko has found the perfect replacement, Goto Ichiri, what is the meaning of her existence as a mediocre guitarist? What is the purpose of her existence?

Finally, she could only listen to the recording of "Black Sheep" uploaded by Toyokawa Shoko alone, as if her empty heart could be filled with something, and she drifted into a hazy sleep.

Browsing...

The following day was a beautiful, sunny day.

This also made Jin Zhaozhi feel much happier.

As he was leaving, he happened to run into the Takamatsu couple, who had prepared a gift for him.

Gao Songdeng's daily life is very fulfilling now. She has to write scripts for MyGO radio dramas every day, then do voice acting with people in the agency. In addition, she has to regularly hand over the absurd stories in the scripts to the staff so that they can send them to Yang Gongfei's account. She also has to prepare the scripts for the live broadcast every night.

Not only that, she was often called by Momoka Kawaraki to practice singing, and she and Arale Nakamachi took turns being the lead singers of different songs prepared by Momoka Kawaraki, and her singing skills were slowly improving.

They all noticed these changes in Gao Songdeng and were genuinely happy for their child.

Mr. Takamatsu said with heartfelt gratitude, "Thank you, Mr. Jin. Xiaodeng has been much happier lately, laughing in her room every day. We really don't know how to express our gratitude."

"It would be best if Xiaodeng could be happy. I also heard that she has made a lot of friends."

The couple prepared some local specialties, which looked delicious.

After exchanging pleasantries with the two, Jin Zhaozhi accepted the gift.

Downstairs, Arale Nakamachi waved goodbye to Akari Takamatsu, who was heading to school.

She wore an expensive brown hooded wool coat with a slightly childish bear brooch pinned to her chest, over which she wore a warm gray-black suit. Her blonde hair, dyed with a touch of cherry pink, was not tied up much, but cascaded down her sides, seemingly shimmering against the dark-colored clothes.

Arale Nakamachi narrowed her pink eyes slightly as she stared at Imaizumi as she walked down.

She chuckled as he walked right up to her.

"How's this outfit? I copied it from a video."

"It has a very girlish feel," said Imaizumi.

He glanced at the blonde girl a few times; the outfit was indeed quite nice.

Arale Nakamachi squinted her eyes excitedly, a smile of joy at her rewarded efforts playing on her lips: "So, so, compared to the light yellow one from last time, which one do you prefer?"

The two chatted briefly before heading to the Red Leaf Cafe, which was a few streets away.

Along Route 41, Imaizumi brought up a new topic: arranging for Nakamachi Arale to attend Hanasakigawa Girls' Academy. She's not even in high school yet.

"I've already contacted Hanasaki Kawa. There are some procedures needed for enrollment, and I'm fine as your legal representative. I'll go and take care of it in the next few days. You should also prepare your mother's consent form."

"Mmm." Arale Nakamachi ate her crepe in small bites.

It has a cat and fox feel to it.

Jin Zhaozhi continued, "In addition, there are cohabiting guardianship and non-cohabiting guardianship. I consulted professionals, and they said that if you don't live with someone, you can only entrust a guardianship agency to take care of you regularly. However, institutional guardianship has always been criticized for its inability to protect teenagers and its failure to detect bullying..."

Arale Nakamachi thought for a moment.

"Then why don't you just live together? You and I will."

"That's not the problem."

"If you, the manager, find me a burden, I can pay for my own food and lodging. I won't bother you with your daily needs; I can even cook for you and make you black tea..."

As Nakamachi Arale spoke, her voice grew softer and softer, as if she could no longer hide her true purpose and didn't know who her guardian was.

"It's not good for the president of an idol agency to live with one of its artists. What will other artists think of you and me if they find out? If it gets out, your idol career will be over."

To Arale Nakamachi, the advice of Ima Teruyuki carried absolutely no weight.

As long as it doesn't affect the store manager's idol dream, as long as she can live with the store manager... whether she can continue to be an idol or not is completely irrelevant, and permanent retirement is also unrelated.

"Really, it's not okay?"

Her eyes welled up with tears, which was then noticed by Jin Zhaozhi.

"Trying to be cute won't work."

"This is emotional abuse of a child, violating the Child Abuse Prevention Act!"

"..."

"How awful of you, an adult like you."

"..."

"Jingqin Rencai was bullied by other students, right? If I were treated like that, and for some reason I didn't dare tell you, and the 60 yen annual inspection agency still hadn't found out, I..."

"...You'd better be more careful in the future."

In the end, Jin Zhaozhi compromised for the sake of her idol's physical and mental health.

After all, this problem in Japan is quite serious.

Hanasakigawa in Tokyo has a very good reputation, and I haven't heard any news about it. Ps*Ple Hikawa Hina's older sister held some positions in Hanasakigawa, and with her connections, Nakamachi Arale wouldn't be bullied, but it's hard to say. What she said was indeed true, and he had no reason to refuse.

The only thing we can do is ask her to be careful and try not to let the other artists in the agency find out.

As for Takamatsu Akari, who lives on the top floor... even if she noticed, she probably wouldn't care too much. After all, he and Nakamachi Arale do have a guardian-ward relationship, which is something she can explain.
