Loneliness and Rock and Roll with Band Observer

Publish a novel, then band activities.

Upon learning that her career was flourishing, Ruomai originally planned to just silently wish her the best.

But this time, she got the chance by complete accident.

She had made sufficient preparations for yesterday's business cooperation negotiations.

Relying on the dressing skills she has mastered in recent years, fashion blogger Miao Meng has transformed herself into a completely different person from the gloomy and rustic Yutenji classmate of the past.

At first, she didn't think much about it. She just wanted to discuss cooperation and try her best to show her abilities.

However, when he learned about the band's schedule for the day and that Akihoko...or Togawa Akeie, would be in the same hotel building as him today, Wakamai realized something.

She came to sign the contract, and I came to discuss cooperation.

Therefore, it was natural and not suspicious at all that the two would meet by chance in the hotel and have intersections around the same firm.

My appearance has changed a lot, and my identity is now completely different from before, that of a fashion blogger.

In other words, I might be able to meet her now in an identity other than "Yutenji Wakamugi".

So she decided to take a gamble.

And she won the bet.

The other party did not recognize him.

This time, the one who appeared in front of the novelist Qiu Rongzi was the fashion blogger Miao Meng.

Xiaoqiu didn't recognize me...

Yutenji Wakamu's heart was beating wildly with excitement.

This means...

"…Although what happened before is probably irreversible."

Yutenji Wakamugi...or rather, the fashion blogger Miao Meng turned over and smiled with satisfaction.

"But, perhaps there is still a chance to put aside the past and start over..."

Chapter 95: Ruomai's Plan

Somehow I fell asleep.

Then, I woke up somehow.

Ruomai opened his eyes, straightened up, then picked up his phone and looked at the clock, and found that it was half past eight.

The sleep quality was good. After she stepped out of bed, she felt refreshed.

This is a good phenomenon. Healthy sleep is the basis for maintaining appearance and temperament.

She hasn't used an alarm clock since she started high school and wakes up naturally every day, seven days a week.

If you wake up and find that you are late for class, then... just skip it with a clear conscience.

Anyway, in that kind of crappy high school, you won’t learn anything even if you listen to the lectures.

Having no psychological burden about skipping classes, Ruomai went to the kitchen and started preparing breakfast for herself.

The refrigerator is filled with a wide variety of ingredients, which are stored in different compartments according to their types and separated by sticky notes with nutritional information.

In order to achieve a balanced diet and maintain her figure, she never hesitates to spend time selecting and preparing ingredients.

Anyway, she had no plan to go to class, and being a video blogger was a completely flexible job that allowed her to arrange her time freely, so she had a lot of time for herself.

Ruomai was thinking about a question while dicing tomatoes with his skillful knife skills.

How can I approach Xiaoqiu in a more natural way?

After all, I am not a contracted artist of Zouse, so to be honest, I don’t seem to have many opportunities to interact with Xiaoqiu at work.

So, approaching it as a fan of the band that is over?

It seems like a reasonable approach, but if you think about it carefully, it is not the best approach.

Fans seem to be the closest to artists, but in fact there is an insurmountable gap between the two.

A more direct approach should be used to create opportunities...

Ruomai hummed a little tune while preparing breakfast, while thinking about a topic that seemed quite bad as if nothing had happened.

When she was in junior high school, Wakamugi had an inexplicable feeling for Togawa Akee that was more than just friendship.

After two years of suffering, this vague feeling gradually transformed into something more clear and firm.

Although her busy work once made her put this relationship on hold, what happened yesterday brought it to the forefront again.

Therefore, she now begins to plan her next move based on this relationship.

"Hmm... this is a bit difficult." After processing the tomatoes, Ruomai began to dice the mushrooms.

Although I occasionally talk about love topics during live broadcasts, that is just irresponsible comments on other people's situations.

If I were to do it myself, the nature of the situation would be completely different...

...Not to mention that the other party is a troublesome person like Xiaoqiu.

In fact, she didn't like getting along with people since junior high school.

Moreover, they pay great attention to the sense of distance, and are cautious and have many concerns.

After that incident, she seemed to have rented a house outside and lived alone.

At first, my sister helped me pay the rent, but as the novel was officially published and sold, I gradually started to pay for it on my own.

Ruomai smiled bitterly and shook his head.

At that time, she also said that she wanted to become a best-selling novelist...but she never expected that she would actually reach that day.

From a junior high school student who ran away from home to a self-reliant light novelist, what kind of struggles did she go through during this period?

After going through all this, her self-defense awareness and cautious attitude will probably become much stronger than when she was in junior high school.

Ruomai slowed down his actions because of the bitterness rising in his heart.

...Come to think of it, she is not only a light novel writer, but also a member of a band who is preparing to sign a contract.

The girls she formed a band with were all pretty cute. In other words, they were fierce competitors.

I don't know what kind of relationship Xiaoqiu has with them...

...No. This is actually very obvious.

Xiaoqiu worked so hard for the band that she even wanted to be the band's manager...

...How is it possible that I have no feelings for my teammates?

When Ruomai thought of this, he felt jealous and his teeth were itching.

If Xiaoqiu's defenses were really broken by those guys... would she still have a place for me in her heart?

Jealousy and a sense of urgency made Ruomai feel irritable and uneasy.

We need to create a unique advantage that only "Meow Dream" has and no one else has in some way.

What should I do?

……

……and many more!

Yutenji Wakamu suddenly realized an extremely critical issue.

If something is going to happen between me and Xiao Qiu, a key prerequisite must be met.

"call……"

When Ruomai thought of that fatal "premise", he felt dizzy.

She knew that although Togawa Aie was now living alone in Tokyo on the profits from the sales of her novels, she was actually a real young lady.

If I can't get past her family...

Ruomai lowered his head dejectedly.

Although she has achieved some success as a video blogger, she knows that not only Akie's father, whose sneeze could shake the Japanese archipelago, but even Haruna, the eldest daughter of the Togawa family, can easily crush all her achievements so far with just one finger.

“…It’s not enough.”

The current route has almost reached a bottleneck. However, based on the current achievements as a video blogger, it is still far from being worthy of being taken seriously by the Togawa family.

However, although the Togawa family is a challenge for me, it also contains opportunities.

Because, with Xiaoqiu's personality, she would definitely not tell anyone her true identity.

If Miss Haruna hadn't come to me specifically at that time, I might never have realized this.

Because of what happened at that time, I learned Xiaoqiu's true identity... and also got a channel to contact Miss Haruna.

Moreover, after that misunderstanding, Ms. Haruna, who was also involved, seemed to feel somewhat guilty towards me.

During the time when I was depressed because of Xiaoqiu's departure, Miss Haruna often offered to provide something to compensate me.

However, I never accepted it. I just kept in touch with her regularly and kept this "favor" until now.

Yes... Although it cannot be used lightly, and depending on the situation it may have a counter-effect...

But... this is my biggest and unique advantage.

Thinking of this, Ruomai began to prepare breakfast more vigorously.

Simplified some of the usual processes a bit, so that preparations can be completed more quickly.

After hurriedly finishing her meal, she called Haruna Togawa.

Haruna is a master's student at Kyoto University. While doing research with the professor, she also has to take care of internships occasionally, so she is actually very busy. Ruomai has long been prepared for the possibility that she won't be able to get through on the phone.

But this time she was lucky and Haruna answered the call directly.

"Yutenji-san." Haruna's voice on the phone was very calm, "What can I do for you?"

"...Miss Haruna."

Ruomai took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

"I...I want to talk to you about something...It's about Akie."

Chapter 96: A Bit Like Takamatsu Touma

"…About Aki? That's rare."

Togawa Haruna sighed. Her delicate face, which was quite similar to her sister's, showed the same melancholy expression as her sister.

"What's the matter?"

She leaned lazily on the soft sofa back, looking out at the view of Sakyo Ward through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Yutenji, who was on the other end of the line, hesitantly explained his purpose.

"I...want to talk to...Akie...about something. So..."

Although she had made up her mind before, Miss Yutenji was unable to express her thoughts properly because she felt the vague sense of oppression from Haruna on the other end of the phone.

But when she heard the other party's evasive and incoherent statement, Haruna smiled as if she understood what he meant.

"Yutenji-san, do you want to reconcile with Akiie, or even take it a step further?"

"Right... Ah, eh? No, uh, further or something..."

Haruna chuckled, and the other party's panic seemed to appear in front of her eyes.

Yutenji Wakamushi had inexplicable feelings for her sister, and she knew it very well.

They used to be close friends who could share their life ideals, but they became strangers due to her intervention, and she was aware of this.

At that time, she sent people to find Yutenji, who had taken in Akihime. She first shocked him with a grand reception, then provided financial compensation, and finally used her father's name to put more pressure on him, convincing Yutenji to stand on her side and persuade Akihime, who had run away from home, to give up making trouble.

This plan should have made perfect sense, but the result was... not at all what I imagined.
