It seems like she'll definitely throw a tantrum if the music video Ishikawa Hayato makes isn't good.

This girl, who has an extremely good temper and doesn't even get angry when Ishikawa Hayato has a harem, will actually get angry here.

However, her expression was not threatening at all, and Ishikawa Hayato found it extremely cute, so he smiled and brushed it off.

"Okay, I also kept the project files. If there's anything wrong, we can still make changes."

"Real?"

Kita immediately beamed with Kita, and her delighted voice startled Hitori so much that he instinctively shuddered.

"Ishikawa Hayato affirmed."

"Really, but face slimming, waist slimming, skin whitening, and leg stretching are all strictly prohibited!"

He made an X with his arm.

Kita, who only Kita these few tricks, froze.

Nijika watched the two of them in their little skit and smiled with relief. She was quite pleased to be able to return to this relaxed state of communication.

While Kita was Kita, Nijika came to her senses and felt uncomfortable as if her legs were being pressed down by a heavy object. She glanced at Ryo sitting on her lap.

Ryo's gaze lingered on Ishikawa Hayato, and the look in her eyes was gentler than Nijika had ever seen.

Even someone as reserved as Liang showed such obvious infatuation; just how deep must her icy, seven-eighths of affection be?

Nijika began to reflect on whether her insistence was correct.

162. A performance in the rain (4)

After subduing Kita Toru, Ishikawa Hayato turned his attention to the computer that had given him power.

The fact that the girls spontaneously gathered around him is all thanks to this computer; taking over the job of filming the music video was absolutely the right thing to do.

He also eagerly anticipated that his artistic creation would make his girls scream with excitement, and ideally, they would all rush over to him at once.

In his excitement, it would be normal for him to accidentally touch something while rushing over.

But as he watched with hope as the progress bar on the fairly well-equipped computer was about to reach the end, a hand suddenly reached out, picked up the laptop, and tried to take it towards her.

Ishikawa Hayato quickly pressed down on him, a symbol of his directorial status, and turned to look at Ryo, who was reaching for the laptop, asking warily.

"Cold?"

Liang didn't let go, but calmly explained.

"It's inconvenient for me to look at like this."

Feeling smug, Ishikawa Hayato said with a righteous expression, "You can sit on my lap."

Liang withdrew her hand and prepared to get up.

"Hello!"

Although she wasn't as resistant as before, Nijika still couldn't let the two of them do anything inappropriate in front of her.

She also pressed down on Liang's shoulders, which she had just resisted so strongly, to prevent Liang from getting up.

Despite having power in his hands, Ishikawa Hayato's mood was not ruined by Nijika's actions; instead, he calmly turned to Nijika.

His expression was incredibly clear and pure, like a saint without desires or wants, making a calm and unassuming suggestion.

"Then Nijika can sit on my lap, and Liang can sit on Nijika's lap too."

"How could you do that? Put the computer on the table!"

Nijika couldn't help but roar.

"That's right, it's much more convenient for everyone to see the computer if it's on the table!"

Kita chimed in, extending his hand.

Hitori watched Ishikawa Hayato's reaction closely, seemingly intending to wait for his decision before offering help.

But Ishikawa Hayato offered no resistance, letting Kita take the computer and put it on the table.

Only after Kita took the computer did he cry and shout in despair.

"My symbol of royal power!"

The girls knew from his words that he didn't care at all, and they all sighed with smiles, but didn't respond to him.

Some people were wondering to themselves, "Royal power... what kind of king does it refer to?"

Since they could easily see the computer screen, Ryo and Kita no longer sat around each other like that; they each sat down again on the sofa.

Ishikawa Hayato glanced at the girls sitting in a row on either side of him, especially Ryo and Nijika.

He could sense that they still harbored some resentment towards each other, but judging from the distance between them and the expressions on their faces, this dissatisfaction didn't seem to have much of an impact.

Hitori and Kita, on the other hand, seemed to have put aside what had just happened and were completely absorbed in watching the music video.

Seeing that Ishikawa Hayato hadn't started playing yet, Ryo impatiently urged him on.

"Get started quickly."

Despite being urged so urgently, Ishikawa Hayato wasn't in a hurry. He smiled and exaggeratedly tried to liven up the atmosphere.

"Foolish people, you have obtained my symbol of royal power but don't know how to use it? Watch closely, this is how the king's power is used!"

Hitori Daigo, Kita was puzzled, Nijika was confused, and Ryo was staring at them without any expression.

He took the remote control from under the table, turned on the TV, and connected the computer and TV to WiFi.

Wow! That's really good.

Kita ignored Ishikawa Hayato's strange remarks. When she saw that the computer screen, which originally seemed inconvenient, had been moved to the huge screen TV, she happily exclaimed in admiration, but then made a sarcastic remark.

"Hayato-kun can come in handy sometimes."

"Rewrite your language!"

Ishikawa Hayato warned with a smirk.

Kita smiled Kita, but glanced around and didn't say anything more.

Seeing Ishikawa Hayato's Nijika action, and knowing her own deep understanding of his schemes Ishikawa Hayato couldn't help but say something.

"Hayato-kun, you planned this from the beginning, didn't you? Why didn't you take it out just now?!"

Ishikawa Hayato's expression froze for a moment, his face instantly exposed. He turned to look at Nijika, who seemed somewhat displeased, and said weakly.

"Being surrounded by everyone makes me very happy..."

Nijika has entered her murderous mode again, her eyes gleaming with dark, piercing light.

But because he was so satisfied with what had just happened, Ishikawa Hayato got excited and, against the wind, made a suggestion to the five of them.

"Oh, right! If my editing is really good, everyone can give me a hug once."

Before Nijika could speak, he hurriedly said:

"If four out of five people vote in favor, it passes!"

Without saying a word, he raised his hand and approved his own proposal.

"First of all, I agree!"

His gaze swept across Ryo, Kita, and Hitori's faces in turn.

They each sensed his request, his threat, and his plea for help.

Nijika was completely opposed to it, but she hesitated after hearing Ishikawa Hayato say that it would only pass if all four agreed.

This means that if there is even one other person present who is unwilling, the proposal will be rejected.

She also wanted to know clearly what others thought of Ishikawa Hayato at this moment.

Besides, it's not like she hasn't hugged him before.

Thinking of this, Nijika decided to throw caution to the wind and participate in the voting, calmly stating her position.

"I object."

The living room was quiet for a while.

Hitori no one else had voted yet, and not wanting the situation to become awkward, she said...

"I... I agree."

I agree.

Liang followed behind her and said.

Because of her inner turmoil, Kita had fallen to the end, glanced at the others and noticed that Nijika watching her.

It was only when she saw Nijika's gaze that she realized that the moment Ijichi-senpai accepted the vote and then voted against it, it had become a test from Ijichi-senpai.

If she had agreed so quickly, Ijichi-senpai might have taken it as a thoughtless remark.

But now...

Ishikawa Hayato sighed as he looked at Kita. Ryo had just given her a chance to speak first, but she still fell behind.

However, he realized he had acted impulsively, and just as he was thinking about how to make amends, he heard Kita's voice.

"I..." Kita hesitated for a few seconds before meeting Nijika's gaze.

I agree.

Hearing Kita's clear voice echo in the living room, Ishikawa Hayato paused in surprise.

Then he saw Nijika sigh, but she spoke slowly without much surprise on her face.

"I see. Well, let's do as Hayato-kun says."

Hearing the slightly unusual response from the two, Ishikawa Hayato was taken aback for a moment, but he quickly changed his tone and said...

"Excellent! My heart is now ablaze."

He spoke exaggeratedly, reaching for the mouse, using words that were full of flaws.

"Watch me use my mouse with all my might to open the video and start playing!"

The four of them watched him confidently holding the mouse, intently watching TV, and performing tasks on the computer that even an elementary school student could do, and they all smiled helplessly.

Only Hitori noticed Ishikawa Hayato's slightly trembling hands; she could sense that Ishikawa Hayato was using exaggerated words to mask his excitement.

Hitori was happy that her boyfriend's wish had come true, but she couldn't help but worry about some things.

Ishikawa Hayato clicked play and quickly sat back down in his seat as the music began to play.

At this point, he had to admit that Liang's idea was correct; they should speed things up, after all, they were all mentally prepared.

But this is also when we need to be more vigilant.

He glanced at the three people around him who were focused on the music video, and a girl who was pretending to be serious.

He put his arm around her waist and pulled her closer to him, and smiled gently at her surprised and happy expression.

His own daughters are all so lovely and well-behaved; he couldn't let them be sad because of him.

The lyrics, filled with both anxiety and motivation, the gentle yet gradually rising vocals, and the seemingly mundane yet incredibly avant-garde artistic visuals all move forward together.

The visuals perfectly complemented the song, even creating a sense of a storyline. In just a few seconds, they completely projected their emotions into the music video, empathizing with and being moved by it.

Watching the seemingly weak version of myself in the music video gradually move forward evokes a wonderfully healing feeling.

As the last shooting star streaked across the sky, the music gradually faded. Although it was their song, a song they had practiced to the point of exhaustion, they were still left wanting more.

Finally, the singing stopped, and their band's logo appeared on the screen.

The four girls remained silent for a long time. Nijika looked at the computer mouse, wanting to watch it again.

Kita was still savoring the experience, finding absolutely nothing that could be modified given her skill level.

After exiting the world of the music video, the four looked at Ishikawa Hayato, who had been maintaining a smug expression for quite some time.

Although they knew from their first group photo shoot that Ishikawa Hayato's art direction was full of quirky ideas, they still couldn't help but exclaim in amazement after seeing the music video he produced, "Is this really human?"

Of course, if they really asked, Ishikawa Hayato would definitely answer.
