A guide to survival in a heavy girl's world

"For this, I need your help, Aine-san. I'm still not able to communicate well with strangers, so I hope you can go with me to talk to her in person. Plus, as Chihaya-san's sister, you can definitely act as StarrySky's agent."

"Just like you want to contribute to Mr. Chihaya, I also want to do something for Xiangzi and Mr. Chihaya, so..."

"That's it, I understand!"

After hearing Wakaba Mu's thoughts, Chihaya Aine held her hand without hesitation.

As someone who has always been taken care of unilaterally, I can fully understand Ruo Ye Mu's anxiety to achieve his goal!

"I understand you, Mu! It's like someone who's been taken care of wants to repay you. Don't worry, leave the task of negotiating with Meow Mengqin to me when the time comes!"

"Well, I'll leave it to you then."

Wakaba Mu nodded.

"By the way, even if you like this blogger very much, please remember to remain serious, or even appear a little angry."

"Eh? Why?"

"I want to use the fact that she ignored your invitation to make her feel guilty."

Wakaba Mu said expressionlessly:

"This will also make it easier to present our conditions to her."

"..."

Ah, huh? Guilt? A convenient way to make an offer?

Different from the enthusiasm to prove herself just now, the words full of calculation and calmness made Chihaya Aine's empathy suddenly stagnate. Then, she couldn't help but look at Wakaba Mutsu in a daze.

"Mu...you've always been very mature, right?"

"No, I'm still studying very hard in order to catch up with Xiangzi as soon as possible."

Wakaba Mu shook his head.

“Anyway, I’ll tell you the exact time we’ll meet later. Then I’ll leave it to you, Aine-san.”

"I see."

In this way, Wakaba Mutsu successfully reached an agreement with Chihaya Aine.

After finishing the conversation, Chihaya Aine went straight into bed as she said and prepared to catch up on her sleep, while Wakaba Mu left her room after saying "Have a good rest".

As for what’s next…

After closing Chihaya Aine's door tightly, Wakaba Mu looked at the half-open door in front of him with a thoughtful expression...

Chapter 53 The most important string.

Perhaps because he was too tired, Chihaya Tetsu only had time to draw a rough outline after returning home, and then he couldn't hold on and fell asleep on the desk.

Wakaba Mutsu, who saw this scene at the door, hesitated for a moment, and then decided to wake up Chihaya Tetsuya.

"Mr. Chihaya."

Wakaba Mu called his name softly.

"If you're sleepy, please go to bed..."

"..."

Because Wakaba Mu's voice was too soft, and Chihaya Tetsuya was too sleepy, Wakaba Mu's call had no effect at all.

Seeing this, Ruo Yemu was not discouraged, but continued to raise his voice and called out again in his ear:

"Mr. Chihaya, can you hear me?"

However, even though Ruoye Mu's voice had been amplified to the same level as his normal conversation, Chihayazhe still did not react.

Wakaba Mu first secretly sighed in his heart about Chihaya Tetsuya's sleep quality, and then he reached out and shook Chihaya Tetsuya's shoulder.

"..."

The moment her hand touched Chihaya Tetsuya, Wakaba Mu suddenly realized that this was her first time to have such direct contact with the opposite sex.

Although there was a shirt between them, the temperature and touch underneath the shirt still made Ruoye Mu feel extremely novel.

Meanwhile, Chihaya Tetsuya, whose shoulder had been shaken, finally responded. He shuddered slightly before raising his head sleepily and looking at Wakaba Mutsu with a bewildered expression.

"……Good morning?"

"It's only afternoon, and Chihaya-san hasn't slept that long."

Ruoye Mu shook his head first, then said:

"It's very uncomfortable to sleep on the table for a long time."

"Yeah, I know...I just accidentally fell asleep."

Chihaya Tetsuya shook his head first, then he did not stand up immediately, but picked up the pencil at hand again.

"Oh, right... before I go to bed, I have to finish drawing this trench coat design before I forget about it... Wakaba-san, since you're here, could you please stay here and watch over me for a while?"

Chihaya Tetsuya rubbed his eyes and asked:

"If I fall asleep again, wake me up immediately."

"Can't you just draw a rough draft first?"

Looking at Chihaya Tetsuya's extremely conspicuous dark circles and slightly red eyes, Wakaba Mu couldn't help but ask:

"Even though I'm already so sleepy..."

"This design suddenly came to me last night when I couldn't sleep. To be honest, I think it can be used in September's [TGC]. Even if it is not adopted, I have a feeling that it will become a hit this fall."

Chihaya Tetsuya shook his head.

"If I forget the details after a good night's sleep, it won't be worth it."

"……I see."

Since Chihaya Tetsu insisted so much, Ruo Yemu naturally had no room to refuse.

So, she stood aside obediently, quietly watching Chihaya Tetsuya complete the design in his hand bit by bit -

"It's so tiring to stand all the time. Just sit on the bed and wait for me... Oh, by the way, you can take any book on the bookshelf and read it."

Chihaya Tetsuya said:

"Don't worry, I spent most of last night perfecting the design in my head. It will only take half an hour at most. I won't keep you waiting too long."

"kindness."

Although she wanted to say that it would be okay to wait a little longer, considering Chihaya Tetsuya's current state, she preferred that he finish the design quickly and rest. So, she immediately walked to the bookshelf and began to select the book to read next, while Chihaya Tetsuya stretched vigorously and then began to concentrate on completing the design at hand.

After Chihaya Tetsuya lowered his head again, Wakaba Mu first picked up a book on Gothic architecture that Chihaya Tetsuya had not put completely on the bookshelf, and then carefully sat on Chihaya Tetsuya's bed.

Unlike the previous time they'd studied together in the living room, Chihaya Tetsuya's expression this time was far more serious. Even though there was an indelible trace of weariness between his brows, the movements of his hands and the eyes glued to the paper and pen still revealed a concentration that made it hard to interrupt.

Just as Xiangzi had described himself privately before, he would be more powerful and more handsome when he was working than usual.

And at this moment, Ruoye Mu finally saw with his own eyes how he had fascinated Xiangzi so much that he couldn't help but mention him repeatedly.

"..."

Ruoye Mu first stared at the profile for a long time, and then finally opened the book in his hand.

Come to think of it, according to what he just said, this design that he values ​​so highly seems to have come up with while he was up all night last night. Adding to that the information I just got from Aine-san...

It seems that the three of them did not really complete the most important step last night. Not only that, they even left Mr. Chihaya enough room to draw a design in his mind. But even so, the fact that the brother and sister could not sleep well shows that they did do something.

The fact that Hoshino Ai and Chihaya Aine have joined forces is already a serious matter. Next, we must find a way to make Xiangzi more active.

But could Xiangzi really do the same thing as the two of them alone? Should he tell Sushi the same thing and have them try to join forces? To maintain the "balance" Xiangzi had mentioned earlier?

On one side is my stepsister and childhood sweetheart, and on the other side is my student and secretary...

(I have a feeling Chihaya-san's life will only get harder from now on.)

Ruoye Mu was thinking like this while looking absentmindedly at the book in his hand.

However, the next second, when she saw the note written by Chihaya Tetsuya on the fold of the book, she couldn't help but widen her eyes slightly:

[This pattern can be recommended to Xiangzi as a reference for band costumes.]

【Can be used in multi-layer design of clothing.】

【Color reference. 】

[I feel like this is the architectural style Xiangzi likes.]

No wonder this book was placed on the outermost side. It turned out that he was also secretly learning Xiangzi's favorite design style for Xiangzi's new band costumes.

"..."

After silently taking pictures of these notes with his mobile phone, Ruo Yemu couldn't help but shook his head slightly.

(If Xiangzi saw these notes, she would definitely be very touched.)

Fortunately, she came to this room on a whim today, otherwise his gentleness that was unknown to outsiders would have been completely concealed.

but……

(Perhaps it was because of this gentleness that he was reduced to being "shared" by everyone.)

Ruoye Mu raised his head again and looked at the profile.

(That’s great, Xiangzi…)

The so-called initiative and enthusiasm can only be possessed under the premise of having a clear goal or something to desire.

And now, this puppet girl has finally encountered the most important string.

Chapter 54: The Two Accomplices Behind Toyokawa Shoko

When Yutenji Wakamugi...also known as [Meow Dream Qin] saw the private message in her mailbox, she immediately felt like she had received a scam message.

"...A band formed by Mori Minami's daughter and Hatsuka? Huh? That's pretty big news, right? And they invited me to be the drummer?"

The sheer volume and suddenness of the unknown information made Yutenji Wakamugi subconsciously doubt the authenticity of the news. However, when she clicked on her newly added followers list, the extremely conspicuous name forced her to reconsider the authenticity of the news again.

"This... is Chuhua's official title!"

Yutiansi Ruomai clicked on the familiar avatar and saw the number of fans that could not be faked and had already exceeded seven figures.

Then, after confirming that her account was indeed among the twenty or so followers, she immediately covered her mouth and exclaimed:

"Eh? Are you kidding me? Is this a coincidence? Or... is she really planning on forming a band while still being an idol?!"

Since that live performance, the popularity of 【Summer Zodiac】 has surpassed the category of rookie idols and is approaching the level of the top idols in the industry.

Many models and celebrities she knows have praised this live performance on social media platforms, and some have even begun to predict that the two will be able to hold a concert at the Tokyo Budokan or even the Tokyo Dome within a year!

If she could really tap into the popularity of this top idol, not only would it bring a ton of attention to her channel, she could even directly enter the entertainment industry and get a chance to debut on a mainstream level! And then there's the potential connections that come with being the daughter of famous actress Minami Mori...

Yutenji Wakamu couldn't help swallowing.

Faced with such immense wealth within reach, Yutenji Wakamu had to consider whether this was her only chance in life. Furthermore, the time and place the other party had proposed were perfectly normal and safe. Even if it was truly a prank, it would only waste a fraction of an afternoon.

In other words, this is a major opportunity where the risks are far less than the rewards!

Although judging by both parties' conditions, I'm sure there will be other conditions besides joining the band...but that's [SummerZodiac's] Hatsuka, and the daughter of the famous actress Mori Minami! As a vlogger who relies on traffic and popularity for a living, even just taking a photo with the two of them would be a huge gimmick!

"Well! Action is worse than thought!"

So, after some relatively simple thought, Yutenji Wakamugi actively edited his reply.

……

“…Is this all right?”

"kindness."

Wakaba Mu nodded.

"If she were a professional vlogger, the attention alone would speak volumes."

Because Chu Hua's official account follows work-related accounts, as a blogger who has always been carefully managing her own account, it is impossible for her not to understand what Chu Hua's attention means.
