People in Tokyo, the world is clear

I don’t know if it was an illusion, but Qingshan Xiazhi caught a glimpse of interest on her face.

But don't overthink it. It was probably just a simple question. Ito was always like that, using words like a child, not very refined.

The singer nodded cheerfully, pretending to be casual and giving a straightforward answer.

"Of course. Xiaolin is a good friend and has helped me so much..."

"So, do you like him?"

"?!"

Qingshan Xiazhi was about to pull back the hand that was clasped with the man mentioned beside him on the table.

However, his wrist was held firmly by another small claw that controlled everything.

Then the innocent-looking girl gave him a confused look.

"What's wrong? Such a sudden reaction..."

"No, no..." Xia Zhi girl stuttered, "Xiao Lin, he is your boyfriend, Ito! How can I...?"

"what!"

Then the short-haired cat girl seemed to react and slapped her head, "Oh right..."

"right."

Qingshan Xiazhi let out a long sigh, then forced a smile:

"Look, it's not convenient for me to answer this kind of question..."

"So, do you like it?"

"...Eh?"

Ms. Aoyama almost curled up, "I, Ito, how do you think I should answer..."

"what?"

It seemed that Ito was unable to cope with the singer's behavior and looked stunned for a while.

After several seconds, he suddenly slapped his head and belatedly realized that his language was not standard.

"My fault, Sister Qingshan, I think I expressed myself a little incorrectly. If you don't answer the question well, it might even seem like you're trying to steal someone's girlfriend or declare war."

The cat girl's slow reaction once again made Qingshan Xiazhi smile in relief.

She nodded vigorously, and said "ah" to express her strong agreement:

"Isn't it! Ito, you are really..."

"So, Sister Qingshan, do you really like my boyfriend's senior?"

"..."

Once again, when the singer was at a loss, an innocent face came in front of her and they looked into each other's eyes.

As the two girls' eyes focused on each other, the atmosphere fell into silence for a moment.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

The girl, who seemed to be slow to do everything, straightened up stiffly and patted her singing senior on the shoulder with a smile. "I mean, as a kind of appreciation between people... Sister Qingshan, are you misunderstanding it? You're always fussing about whether it's a boyfriend or not."

"...Ito!"

Then, in the next second, a pair of exasperated arms scooped up the meowing cat and began to toss it around. "You were asking the wrong question! Couldn't you have been more clear from the start?"

"Woo~"

"Why are you only telling half the story like a little kid? Did you learn that from that Kobayashi guy? You must be right?"

However, it probably helped to release some pressure.

After all the commotion, the singer's tension dissipated a lot.

Finally, she was able to openly hand over one of her hands and let Miss Ito control it, placing it on the back of her boyfriend's hand.

He was completely unaware of the cunning and anger that flashed across a pair of seemingly innocent eyes.

I felt more confident and righteous, and no longer felt guilty.

Facing the reinitiated questioning process, he was able to hold his head high:

"Are you happy with Senior, Sister Qingshan? Do you like him?"

"of course."

"Then, for the rest of your life, if he encounters any difficulties, will you not abandon him, but stand on the same front and face it with him?"

"?"

Wait, wait...

"Ito!"

"what happened again?"

As if due to the constant interruptions, a slight annoyance appeared on the cat girl's face. "Sister Qingshan, this is so troublesome."

The somewhat blaming attitude instantly dissipated the singer's sense of reason, and she returned to a weak confession.

"T-Doesn't this sound like wedding vows?"

"This is definitely a description of friends! Sister Qingshan, aren't you being a little too sensitive? Isn't it the purpose of true friends to stick together and help each other through difficulties?"

"Eh? Okay, that seems to be the case..."

"Speaking of which, I feel like there's something wrong with you, Sister Qingshan..." The girl narrowed her eyes and leaned closer, "Why do you get so excited when you mention this kind of topic? Could it be..."

"No! No! How, how is it possible!"

So, Ms. Aoyama, who was almost frightened again, quickly grabbed the cat girl's shoulders, shook her and began to blame: "It's obviously your fault, Ito! How can people not misunderstand when asking questions like this!"

A sparkling and lightning-like explanation.

Afterwards, in order to establish the principle of no more than three times, Miss Qingshan raised her hand and vowed never to interrupt this ceremony of expressing affection again.

However, it seemed that a crisis of trust had already occurred. This time, Ito Nishika, who folded their hands again, designated her boyfriend as the first person to be questioned.

He looked at her with a slightly sharp look, and his voice was much colder:

"Are you happy that Senior is with Sister Qingshan?"

"Very happy."

"Does Senior like Sister Qingshan?"

"Yeah, I like it very much."

"If she encounters difficulties, will you stick with her?"

"must."

For some reason, Qingshan Xiazhi's heart started pounding as he listened to this conversation.

I couldn't help but think of the night before. That embrace, the promises I made when I thought she wasn't awake, and the breathless kisses one after another...

Then a sudden warmth spread in my chest.

But as the temperature rises, it melts away, blending into the emotions with other emotions—

A strange sense of guilt, and a somewhat evil thrill that comes with it.

Especially when I noticed the expression on a certain cat girl's face that seemed to notice nothing.

This strange feeling of guilt is even worse.

It was as if a strange whisper kept echoing in my ears, repeating one sentence:

Qingshan Xiazhi, you bad woman...

You bad woman...

Bad woman...

"Well, it's Qingshan-nee's turn. This time, let me put it differently. What do you think of me~"

"Bad woman..."

"Eh?"

"!"

Then the singer muffled the strange words that escaped her mouth, and with a whine, she rushed over to hug the cat girl, whose face was puffed with a wronged expression, and used all her coaxing methods:

"No, no, I'm definitely not talking about you..."

"Sister Qingshan, are you finding me annoying?"

"I swear to God! It was a pure slip of the tongue. I don't even know what I was saying!"

I have to say, this kind of tugging and pulling between girls is also a very interesting scene.

It's the scene, it seems a bit one-sided...

There was nothing that could be done about it. Even if one claimed to be the Pope of the human world, he would surely be as helpless as any other mortal when faced with the totem of his faith.

Teacher Lin took in all the interactions between the two people, and while secretly marveling at them, he silently watched them complete the ritual that had just happened to him.

It was not until a certain singer with a look of atonement recited the last words "I will never leave you" that he saw Miss Ito nodded with satisfaction.

Then, he took the time to quietly glance over.

Teacher Lin naturally lowered his head and acted submissive.

Then I heard my girlfriend sigh with relief:

"That's good. After you've made up your mind, when you look into each other's eyes again, maybe you'll have a different answer to the things you were struggling with before. Sister Qingshan, don't you agree?"

"Ah, um..."

"You first?"

Then Lin Sen felt a gaze on the side of his face.

Turning my head again, I saw a face that was confused but also determined.

Knowing her current state, he took the initiative to speak softly:

"In my heart, I hope you don't go on those variety shows. If you encounter some excessive pranks and I'm not around, I won't be able to protect you... That's what I think."

"I..." Ms. Qingshan pursed her lips. "I know. But if we give up this promotional channel, you'll have to work harder in the future... I think it's just a matter of getting used to it. It should be possible. So many entertainers have done it."

"I'm worried that some production crew might make unreasonable demands of you. Since you're a single singer and you've always been approachable and approachable in your publicity, they might make a fuss about it... I remember a few production crews being known for being 'unreasonable' with less famous artists."

"I..."

"Maybe it's a protective mentality. You must be special and important to me. I don't want my precious treasure to suffer what seems like common suffering."

"! Treasures or something..."

Miss Qingshan became a little panicked again.

I tried to concentrate and used my peripheral vision to observe a cat girl who was sitting down with her chin propped up to watch the scene, but all I got was an interested look.

Xiaolin, this bastard, is really outspoken...

Fortunately, Ito didn't notice anything wrong.

Thinking of this, my heart felt sweet because of the speech I just heard.

Want to protect me...

As the honey of sin began to flow in his heart again, Qingshan Xiazhi tried his best to maintain his composure and nodded:

"Personally, for the sake of our shared business, I still really want to be on the show. I want to earn some money as soon as possible to repay your investment... However, since you're worried, I can give up my idea."

"I'm sorry. Perhaps it's just my weird mood."

"What's there to apologize for?! However, if there's a serious variety show, I'd really like to go on it and broaden my horizons..."

“I try to screen some.”

It seems that the tangled issues have been resolved, and the agent's point of view ultimately prevails.

The person who seemed to be happiest about this was the girl who presided over the ceremony.

She hugged Qingshan Xiazhi with a smile, then became shy and stopped hugging her and kneading and bullying her. She seemed to be surprised by the reversal of the dominant relationship between the two.
