Chapter 63

"In short, you should probably go and offer her some advice and concern."

"It's me again? And what about you?" Kawaragi Momoka puffed out her cheeks slightly, looking at him with a hint of displeasure.

It wasn't that she was unwilling; she was prepared to go and see even if he hadn't said anything. But seeing him always standing there so calmly, giving her orders, made her feel a little annoyed.

"I'd like to go in your place, but I don't think you'd want to see me get kicked out of the store for going into the women's restroom."

"Ah..."

That seems to be true; she'd forgotten about it if you hadn't mentioned it.

"I understand." Well, there's nothing I can do then. Kawaragi Momoka reluctantly got up and followed Inoseri Nina to the bathroom.

Before leaving, she glanced at Sakurakoji Talent: "But to be honest, I actually really wanted to see it, although I don't think the shop owner or other customers would notice."

He pursed his lips at her retreating figure, then gave a friendly look to Anwa Subaru, Sakurakoji Talent were still staring at him in disbelief. "Oh, don't worry about it, let's continue eating."

A few minutes later,

As expected, the Inoseri Nina returned.

Unexpectedly, she took the extra lamps she had brought from the villa, bowed deeply to Anwa Subaru with a determined expression, and said, "Thank you very much for this!"

Then, without waiting for her reply, he turned and left.

Anwa Subaru stopped their cheerful eating and replied to her as she turned away, "You're welcome."

Kawaragi Momoka, who rushed over to the table, watched her retreating figure, then put her hands on her hips, helplessly saying, "What an idiot! She already has the most important thing."

"What should we do? Should we chase after them?" Anwa Subaru asked Kawaragi Momoka.

"Yeah, what should we do..." Looking at the huge pile of dishes on the table that hadn't been cooked yet, Kawaragi Momoka was also at a loss.

Should I chase after her and continue trying to persuade her, or stay and finish our meal first? Even though persuasion is probably futile at this point, staying would only be a pointless and unpleasant experience.

"Hi! It's finally my turn." Sakurakoji Talent wiped his mouth with a wet wipe, stood up, patted his satisfied belly, and smiled as he suggested to Kawaragi Momoka:

"I'm already full. I'll take care of Nina. I'll contact you by phone if there are any problems. You two can finish your meal first before you go over."

"Is that alright?" Kawaragi Momoka was surprised; why had he suddenly become so diligent?

"It's okay, I've been eating it since just now, so it should be of some use now, right?"

"Then I'll leave it to you." Hearing him say that, Kawaragi Momoka relaxed and gave him a trusting look.

Leave it to me.

That being said, he had absolutely no intention of doing anything.

Following a distance behind Inoseri Nina, watching her wander alone at the deserted crossroads at night, tears falling onto the large lamplight, and faint sobs could be heard, Sakurakoji Talent had one hand in his pocket and the other holding a bottle of orange juice he had just grabbed from the store, without any intention of going up to talk to or comfort her.

"Hmm~ This is it, this is the kind of teeth I want to see!"

As Inoseri Nina began to reflect and cry alone, Sakurakoji Talent watched from behind with shining eyes.

Kawaragi Momoka might have misunderstood. He wasn't there to comfort Inoseri Nina; he just had nothing better to do than watch the show and, incidentally, prevent her from encountering any accidents—though that possibility was unlikely.

Inoseri Nina in the distance,

What am I doing?

"It's rare for someone to talk to me, and it's rare for someone to be considerate of me."

Am I an idiot...? Am I an idiot?

"Am I an idiot?!"

Am I an idiot?!

"Idiot! Idiot! Am I an idiot?!"

After venting her frustrations to the air, she weakly rested her forehead against the glass door by the roadside. "Am I an idiot...?"

Just then, a bespectacled man passing by expressed his displeasure at her making such a loud noise at night. "You're so noisy!"

"Shut up!" As if she had been suddenly pushed to her limit, Inoseri Nina roared at him again.

"What did you say?!"

Inoseri Nina suddenly raised her little finger at him.

"What does that mean?" The bespectacled man was completely confused.

This isn't a negative review; I feel sorry for Sakurakoji Talent.

"Shut up!" Inoseri Nina's expression was a mixture of tears and anger as she waved the lamp in her hand and walked towards him.

"Stop! You...!"

"That was close!"

The bespectacled man dodged frantically, narrowly avoiding the sharp, hard headlights, and finally fled the scene. Damn it, he'd run into a crazy woman in the middle of the night!

"It's so annoying!!" Her complaints and dissatisfaction with life and herself echoed in the night sky.

With heavy steps, Inoseri Nina returned to her apartment.

The once-perfect radiating chandelier is now dilapidated and incomplete, clearly showing signs of torture.

"Ugh~ Hmm~ Ah~" She stood on the small wooden table in the room, trying to reach up and install the chandelier, but due to her height and the low table, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't reach the ceiling.

"Ah!"

Not paying attention to her position, she tiptoed to the edge of the table, lost her balance, and fell backward to the ground in a sorry state, lamp and all.

Staring blankly at the dark ceiling above her head, she remained lost in thought for a few seconds before tears suddenly streamed down her face uncontrollably.

"I'm all alone, and I can't even turn on the light..."

"My whole life will be shrouded in darkness... I will always be in the darkness, in the darkness..."

She turned over and lay on her side, crying.

"Isn't it too early to draw conclusions?"

In the dark, empty room, illuminated only by the partial streetlights from outside, a voice suddenly and eerily rang out without warning.

Volume 1: The Daily Life of Attracting Bees and Butterflies: Chapter 93 I Can Be!

"Who is it?!" Inoseri Nina's voice was tinged with a hint of nervousness as she looked towards the door.

"It's me." Sakurakoji Talent turned on her phone's flashlight and shone it on her face from below, creating a somewhat eerie effect.

"Mr. Talent ..." Inoseri Nina stared at him blankly.

Although he intentionally created a terrifying atmosphere, in her eyes, it only reduced his good looks by half; his naturally soft features couldn't be scary at all.

"Why..."

"Because you suddenly left, and I had already finished eating, I came over first." Seeing that he couldn't scare her, he turned off the flashlight, feeling bored, and explained to her, "Miss Momoka and the others also wanted to come, but I told them to finish eating first."

"I'm sorry, it was my fault..." Inoseri Nina lowered her head and admitted her mistake.

"It's okay, I've been busy eating since the beginning, I'm already full. Besides, thanks to you, I got to watch a good show..." Sakurakoji Talent's lips unconsciously curled up.

"A good show?" Inoseri Nina looked at him in confusion.

"I never expected that Nina, who seems so quiet and gentle, would actually be so outgoing." Sakurakoji Talent used the plastic bag in his hand as a prop, making a waving motion.

"Ah, ah... Ahhhhhh!!!" When Inoseri Nina realized what was happening, her face immediately showed the shame and indignation of having her embarrassing past exposed, and she couldn't help but cover her face.

You saw it all!?

"Um."

Where do you start watching?

"From the moment you walked out of the store."

"Aaaaaah!!! They saw everything!!!" Inoseri Nina threw herself onto the bed, burying her face in the pillow and wailing loudly.

Sakurakoji Talent smiled silently, put down the plastic bag in her hand, picked up the battle-damaged chandelier that had fallen to the side, stepped onto the low table, and installed it on the ceiling.

The moment the light connected, the room was instantly enveloped in a bright, soft light, causing Sakurakoji Talent to squint involuntarily.

The quality of this light bulb is unbelievable! The sides are completely shattered, but the inside is fine, and it still lights up. Is the bulb made in China?

"By the way, let's change where we hide the key. If all else fails, we can leave it with Miss Momoka. It's a bit dangerous to just leave it in the storage cabinet next to us." After installing the light, he suggested to Inoseri Nina buttocks sticking out.

If I wasn't afraid of her losing her temper, I really wanted to slap her, Sakurakoji Talent thought to herself.

"...I understand." Inoseri Nina sat up in bed.

"Also, you left without eating much, so I bought some Drinks and snacks from the convenience store. Pick what you like to eat." He pointed to the plastic bag on the ground.

"Thank you..." Inoseri Nina, her head bowed, her face flushed, still recovering from her earlier shyness.

"How about trying to form a band with Miss Momoka?" Seeing her like this, and considering that the conversation was about to end, Sakurakoji Talent made this suggestion.

"A band?" Inoseri Nina up. "But I still want..."

"That's not important. What's important is what you really want to do." Sakurakoji Talent interrupted her. "Miss Momoka said it herself, right? She likes your singing and wants to team up with you, so the only question now is whether you want to or not."

"That was just a polite lie she told me. I have absolutely no singing experience; it's impossible for me to be suitable."

"A lie... Why don't you ask her yourself later, or do you want me to ask her for you?" He paused, then changed his mind and said, "Never mind, let her tell me herself."

"Furthermore, I disagree with your statement that you're not suited for this because you've never sung it before."

"Huh?" Inoseri Nina opened her eyes wide and looked at him.

"Nina, don't you know?" Sakurakoji Talent looked at her with a complicated expression, "There is something in this world that is even more unreasonable than a cruel fate."

What is that?

"Talent," Sakurakoji Talent said solemnly. "I knew it when you and Momoka sang at the station entrance last time. You have a natural talent for this; you don't need much training. Your voice has a very wide vocal range."

"So there's no need to worry about this. If you want to, you definitely can."

"A lie?" Inoseri Nina's eyes were blank.

"I never lie to people, especially to women from the countryside who don't know much." Sakurakoji Talent glanced to the side.

"That's so mean..." Inoseri Nina wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, "But thank you, Mr. Talent."

"Well, that's about it. I'll leave the rest to Momoka." Sakurakoji Talent slumped to the floor, leaning against her bedside, and handed her a bag full of food. "Since things have come to this, you should eat first."

He glanced around, looking at the room, which was completely devoid of furniture and personal decorations, and sighed inexplicably. There weren't even any appliances, let alone chairs. She usually ate and read by sitting directly on the floor, using that small, low wooden table.

When he first came in, he even took a sniff, and naturally, there was no scent of Aromatherapy.

There's no way to expect this eccentric Kumamoto girl to decorate her room in a reasonable or normal way.

They didn't have to wait long before Kawaragi Momoka and Anwa Subaru arrived.

"Hey, how's it going now?" Kawaragi Momoka asked him as she walked in, taking off her shoes as she opened the slightly ajar door.

"As you can see." He pointed to the Inoseri Nina quietly munching on their food beside him.

"What? You already bought it? I knew I shouldn't have bought it." She held up the white bag in her hand to indicate.

"Wow! What happened to this light? How did it get like this?" Anwa Subaru noticed the broken chandelier and couldn't help but laugh.

"Well, it's someone's brilliant masterpiece. It was quite... gulp back then!"

He was speaking when he received an Inoseri Nina, who was frowning in displeasure.

"... Anyway, it's your turn now. You know what to say, right?" He clutched his stomach, got up, walked to Kawaragi Momoka's side, and patted her on the shoulder.

"What?" Kawaragi Momoka looked over in surprise.
