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

A few seconds after she finished speaking, Ima Teruyuki sat down on a chair on the stone bridge behind her. Then, Maruyama Aya heard Ima Teruyuki's voice.

"Then let's sit down and watch together."

"You invited me here, so it's not just these flowers you wanted me to see, is it?"

"You must have spent a lot of time putting together your outfit today, right? You must have worked hard. Your invitation was the right thing to do, it's just that the weather was a bit uncooperative and spring left a little too quickly."

Imaizumi's calm tone gradually soothed Maruyama Aya, who had been trying to close her eyes and escape everything. She silently took two steps back and sat down next to Imaizumi.

"Mmm." That was all she knew how to say now.

Suddenly, Maruyama Aya realized it.

My current actions are somewhat despicable.

Is this some kind of unspoken social rule that forces Jin Zhaozhi to comfort her, thus bringing her closer to Jin Zhaozhi? But she really does cry easily, that's all.

Sitting next to Teruyuki Ima, Aya Maruyama knew she had to say something.

She quickly tried to cover up her careless words:

"President, I think I said something wrong again... I just feel like I'm being illuminated when I see you, and I feel safe when I'm by your side. You've done so much for me... We've done so much, and I want to thank you. I want to express my gratitude to you in my own way."

"I don't know how to describe this feeling. Maybe it's because I'm a coward... Maruyama Aya is such a coward. She only dares to say strange things at times like this."

"President Jin, I want you to continue being my producer, preferably forever. Speculating about my future is too heavy a burden, so I'll just lazily hand everything over to you. I'm someone who can't even decide my own future."

Even when she sat down, she only dared to press her knees and look at the hem of her white skirt.

Looking at her timid pink-haired idol, Imaizumi seemed to see more than one pink-haired persona in her. Now, let's comfort our little idol.

He comforted me, saying, "It's normal to be timid, and it's normal to hesitate. It's normal to think things through more when facing something important, especially since you've always been strangely unlucky."

Jin Zhaozhi actually understands Maruyama Aya very well.

She does seem to have some bad luck.

“No one can accurately predict their future. If you see life as the dial of a clock, we're only at 5 a.m., less than a quarter of our lives—roughly sunrise time. Just sunrise.” He propped his chin on his hand, gazing at the empty street. Zero

Unless you have a system for losing money like him, confusion and failure are the main aspects of life from beginning to end. Even he was subject to failure once or twice.

"I don't really know how long you guys will accept me as a producer. After all, you might retire someday, and then I'll have failed too many times and be forced to rebuild..."

"No way! As long as you're still here, I'll continue to be your idol!" Lin

Maruyama Aya immediately offered her rebuttal.

After she blurted out her wish without thinking, she realized that it seemed there was no way to make up for it.

So, Maruyama Aya decided to just spill all her thoughts: "I want to entrust my fate, Maruyama Aya's fate, to you, is that alright? Let you decide everything about me..."

"I don't want to go through those inexplicable things anymore. Please, I'll listen to everything you say. Please stay my producer forever. Aya Maruyama has never let you down..."

She suddenly began to fantasize about reaching out to Jin Zhaozhi and taking his hand.

Jin Zhaozhi's hand will surely give her a reassuring warmth and a firm grip, making her never want to let go, not even for a moment...

Even if it wasn't a fantasy, he gave a reassuring answer.

“Producers and company presidents are positions that hold the fate of idol artists in their hands.”

"I hope that the producer-idol relationship you are now longing for can be like falling flowers and flowing water, which can be described in the cheesy poems written by infatuated lovers as 'falling flowers and flowing water never betray each other.'"

Jin Zhaozhi has his eyes closed.

Since Maruyama Ayato said he had decided his fate, there was no reason for him to refuse.

If even those who completely trust themselves are not allowed to make promises, then what kind of idols are they cultivating?

Sohe will not give up the trust he carries.

As for Maruyama Aya's feelings, aren't they a bit too intense...?

It's just that Jin Zhaozhi's idol is seeking care from him, with a small amount of longing mixed in, and within that longing, there are feelings that resemble romantic love. In short, it's just longing and loneliness. Since that's the case, how about he fulfills Maruyama Aya's wish for now?

......

In the rehearsal room, the four members of Ps*Ple had been waiting for a long time.

Maruyama Ayase arrived late, about twenty minutes past the agreed rehearsal time.

She pursed her lips, her face flushed a lighter pink than rouge, clearly from a quick run. She stammered, "I ran into the club president by chance..."

Hikawa Hina, hands on her hips, quickly slung her guitar over her shoulder. "Oh, Ayaka, you're finally here! You're so slow today... President, you're here too! Hello, President! You're here today too, President?"

Lu said, "It was just a coincidence that we ran into each other. I brought her here, so you guys go ahead with your work."

0【Xiao Mu, I'm waiting for you at Yu Ze Coffee Shop】

Shoko Toyokawa sent out the message and waited patiently at the coffee shop.

She also chose this place.

Zero Hazawa Cafe is owned by Hazawa Tsugumi's family. She works there regularly. Hazawa Tsugumi is also a member of the somewhat famous student band, forgerglow.

Toyokawa Shoko has come here a few times for Earl Grey tea. To be honest, she feels it's not as good as the current manager's, but Wakaba Mutsu seems to like the tea here more, and the two often meet here.

If Jin Zhaozhi didn't go to work at his agency, but just focused on running his coffee shop, his new products like strawberry milk tea would be very popular with the girls in the area.

Thinking about this, Toyokawa Shoko became curious:

"So, why did the Maple Leaf Coffee Shop close down in the first place?"

Ima Teruyuki seems to have never mentioned why he gave up the restaurant industry to become an idol. Nakamachi Arale seems to have known Ima Teruyuki from the beginning, having worked at the coffee shop together.

Let's wait for Wakaba Mutsu to arrive first.

Today, Tsukinomori is going to school, and Toyokawa Shoko is also preparing for Haneoka's mid-term transfer and scholarship application, so the two agreed to meet this afternoon. She prepared quite a few topics to discuss.

After learning from Ima Teruyuki that Wakaba Mutsumi had dissociative identity disorder (DID), Toyokawa Shoko briefly considered running away, but after quickly correcting her, she was left only with heartache.

If Ye Mu was actually interacting with her as a patient, she wouldn't have realized it at all.

Thinking about how she had neglected Wakaba Mutsu, Toyokawa Shoko, who held herself to the same level of responsibility as Ima Teruyuki, was filled with guilt. For Ima Teruyuki's sake, and for her own, she wanted to make amends.

"Please enjoy!" Yuzawa Tsugumi brought over two cups of Earl Grey tea.

Toyokawa Shoko smiled and nodded at her, then suddenly realized that a blonde girl wearing the Hanasakigawa school uniform had sat down opposite her, and she was looking at her expressionlessly with pale yellow eyes.

"Hatsuka?" She called out the name instinctively, then noticed many subtle differences between the blonde girl in front of her and Arale Nakamachi, and also, her features seemed very familiar...

Isn't that Wakaba Mutsumi?!

Toyokawa Shoko was startled:

"Xiao Mu?! Why are you wearing Hanasakikawa's school uniform, and your wig is...?"

Although Wakaba Mutsumi's clothes and hair were completely those of Nakamachi Arale, she was still herself, and her speaking style remained unchanged. She whispered, "I am, playing, Hatsuka."

"what?"

Toyokawa Shoko's mind was no longer able to comprehend what Wakaba Mutsu was saying.

She could understand that Wakaba Mutsu was impersonating Hatsuka, and she did indeed do so, but what was the point? Why suddenly impersonate Mitsuka Hatsuka and wear Hanasaki River's school uniform?

Like a squirrel that has encountered a predator and tucked itself in with its tail: "Metis told me that this way, I think I can play the guitar."

"This kind of thing..." Toyokawa Shoko was about to retort when she seemed to remember something, and her voice softened. Her goal was to get Wakaba Mutsumi to play the guitar and help her resolve her inner turmoil. If this could indeed alleviate her difficulty in playing the guitar due to her psychological issues, then perhaps it wouldn't be a bad idea...?

"Let's have a cup of tea first, then we can chat?"

"Yeah." Ruoye Mu nodded.

The nod was barely perceptible.

After finishing their tea, the two walked until they arrived at Mejiro 2-chome, where Takamatsu Akari, who had just finished school, was writing thoughtfully on the overpass. Upon seeing Toyokawa Shoko, she nodded like a penguin.

She was a colleague from the first generation of trainees at the agency, with whom she didn't interact much, but she didn't dislike her. When huddled in Akabane's cramped room, Toyokawa Shoko would occasionally read the absurd little stories posted by this person known as "Sheep Palace Princess," whose quirky themes of peace, mutual understanding, and conflict always made her smile.

If only she wouldn't "uglify" herself so much in the MyGO radio drama.

Toyokawa Shoko waved to her, then continued talking to Wakaba Mutsumi: "Mutsumi, do you mean that if you feel like you're playing Hatsuka, you can play the guitar?"

“It wasn’t me playing the role, it was Metis.”

If Ye Mu corrects.

Toyokawa Shoko didn't understand at all: "Metis, is it the personality that protects you?"

Ruoye Mutsu said, "Metis is a virtual streamer, and I am a musician."

"..."

The smile on Toyokawa Shoko's face disappeared.

"Why is this so?"

“I didn’t know that Metis would feel better this way, and that her emotions would affect me as well.” Ruoye Mutsu was clearly unaware of the mechanisms of her personality disorder.

Anyway, the result is output like this: 鸠b′∵＝思∧}ˉ蒐＇∴索￥↓q群＾.

Metis would be very energetic in the role of Mikasa Mikasa; she could even play the guitar in the role.

It's somewhat like a placebo effect, because even after taking away Misumi Hatsuka's wig and Hanasaki River's school uniform, Wakaba Mutsumi can still be slightly moved by the words of the second-generation members and pick up her guitar. But after just a few hours, she becomes resistant to the guitar, remembering Goto Ichiri's overwhelming strength.

Toyokawa Shoko didn't know how to solve the problem either.

If possible, she wants to seek help from a psychologist, but Jin Zhaozhi has already done so, and the answer was to stabilize the current situation. How can this situation be stabilized? Should she encourage Ruoye Mutsu to play the role of Chuhua?

Shoko Toyokawa, suffering from a headache, and Mutsuki Wakaba, who was bewildered but sensed a subtle emotion, walked silently along Mejiro Street, occasionally passing other students who also attended Tsukinomori.

Unlike Wakaba Mutsu, these students participate in club activities, so they are only now getting out of school.

Toyokawa Shoko grew closer to Wakaba Mutsu.

"Hmm... at least, Xiao Mu, you're moving in a positive direction? That's all we can do for now."

......

Miku Miku wandered aimlessly through Toshima Ward, like a fish lost in the water.

一步，两步，她走到94∥8≮§2々∫4330【5蒐索→q羣※□:了月之森附近。

"Xiao Xiang, Xiao Xiang, Xiao Xiang... I miss you so much..."

She kept repeating her wish in a voice that only she could hear, as if she could find Toyokawa Shoko among the people leaving the school in twos and threes in the Moon Forest.

Misaki Hatsune spent the entire night searching for Toyokawa Shoko and barely slept; she was now feeling slightly dizzy. Fortunately, she had slept a lot during Hanasaki River's class and caught up on her sleep.

She didn't find much information about Toyokawa Shoko. It's unlikely that a zaibatsu would allow the information of its heir to be published on the internet at will. Only a few reports that required Toyokawa Shoko to appear as the heir had a few photos of her, all of which showed her as a small and cute little Shoko when she was a child.

She secretly saved all the Miku triangles, along with the chat history of the messages Toyokawa Shoko had sent her, and she would look at them from time to time in the future.

Then, while searching for information about the Toyokawa family, Misaki found news that almost devastated her: Toyokawa Kiyoko had made a huge mistake, Toyokawa Realty had been defrauded of 168 billion yen, and Xiaoxiang's father, Toyokawa Kiyoko, had resigned and been dismissed from all positions in the Toyokawa Group!

The scam happened just days after she told Kiyotaka Toyokawa about her past!

Miku Miku, she was the one who caused the death of Toyokawa Shoko's father...

Filled with immense guilt and inexplicable fear, Misaki Misaki spent the entire day in a daze, either sleeping or looking at pictures of Toyokawa Shoko on her phone, reminiscing about that beautiful night on the island, the night she played as her younger sister, Misaki Misaki, interacting and playing with Toyokawa Shoko.

Wearing a black baseball cap and carrying a backpack, Miku lingered in front of the Moon Forest School gate for a long time until a female student couldn't help but talk to her, at which point she left in a hurry without saying a word.

"That person is so strange, wearing the Hanasakigawa school uniform and not saying a word..." Nagasaki Motoyo glanced at her, then ignored her and followed her friends from the brass band.

After all, the blonde girl in the baseball cap was also a girl, and a student of Hanasaki River, which was only about ten minutes away from Tsukimori, so Nagasaki Motoyo didn't pay much attention to her.

Nagasaki Motoyo has been practicing the violin and double bass lately, working hard for the virtual YouTuber agency her mother is preparing for. Now that there's bassist Hachiman Kairin, she'll switch to violin. She'll do anything to see Toyokawa Shoko.

Meanwhile, Misaki Miku, walking aimlessly with her head down, witnessed a terrifying scene on Mejiro Street, just one street away from Tsuki no Mori, a scene she would likely never forget.

"Xiao Xiang...?"

Miku Miku first spotted the back of the girl with the incredibly familiar light blue twin tails. Overwhelmed with joy, she was jolted awake from her sleepless night and almost rushed after her in delight.

Then, she saw a blonde figure from behind wearing the same Hanasakigawa school uniform as her.

The blonde woman was chatting with Toyokawa Shoko from behind. Toyokawa Shoko kept talking to her and even offered her the snacks and drinks she had bought. The two were clearly very familiar with each other.

Miku Miku, the triangle-shaped figure, was stung.

Her younger sister, Mikasa Mika, is exchanging snacks with Toyokawa Shoko. It seems a story unfolds between them that far exceeds their own personal lives.

That's normal, isn't it? After all, Hatsuka Mikami and Shoko Toyokawa are in the same agency, so they see each other every day at work, and they greet each other when they rehearse together. Shoko Toyokawa must tell Hatsuka Mikami a lot of things that Hatsuka doesn't know, right? That's normal, that's normal...

"Why, why, why...why?"
