Shioka Learns the Truth and Loses It!

After breakfast, Wakaba Mutsuki, as a student of Tsukinomori, had to go to school a little earlier, so he went to school ahead of Sakiko.

"Sakiko, did you call your grandmother just now to talk about your father?" Riki asked.

"You heard that?" Toyokawa Sakiko asked in surprise. She pursed her lips and said, "It's true. My father and I have been away from the Toyokawa Family for a year now. In this year, he has become more and more degenerate. At first, it was just cigarettes and alcohol, but then he started gambling. After losing all his money, he started asking me for money. It was unbearable to watch, so my grandmother said she wanted to take my father to the Toyokawa Family's Silver Mine refinery factory to work there."

Silver Mine.

Was the Toyokawa Family really that rich?

It seems that Sakiko's bloodline level was much higher than he had imagined.

If she were in the Dragon Clan, she would be a super hybrid like Sakiko, capable of conjuring an iceberg with a wave of her hand and crushing a bunch of Dead Servants to death—a natural-born Eriyi.

"A mining factory? That must be exhausting. Can your father handle it?" Riki asked, scrutinizing Sakiko's expression.

After all, he's his own father, and he'd been pampered all along. Sending him to be a miner probably wouldn't be a good thing.

"He deserves it." Toyokawa Sakiko hesitated for a moment, then bit her lip and said forcefully.

"Really? Then let's pull off a heist!" Riki said.

In ancient times, Silver Mine were a natural resource as important as oil is today.

And just as American troops can breed in oil, Ming troops can also emerge in Silver Mine and fertile fields.

"Well, but Grandma said she's only in charge of the car, and we'll have to figure out how to find someone ourselves. She said I have Riki after all." Toyokawa Sakiko's face flushed slightly. Sure enough, Grandma also thought Riki was a reliable boy, which was why she said that.

What else could Riki say?

Grandmother, you have a really good eye for people.

"Damn it!"

Fengchuan's father walked out of the Pachinko parlor penniless, cursing and swearing. He hadn't earned any money in a long time, and recently his income had come from borrowing money and money found in his daughter's room.

Thinking of his daughter Sakiko, Mr. Fengchuan was lost in thought. He had once hoped that his daughter would grow up to be an outstanding adult, and he himself had once been a reliable person.

"What the hell are you thinking? Let's go home and search Sakiko again to see if she's hidden any money. I'm asking you, where did she hide her scholarship money?!" Fengchuan's father kicked an empty can on the side of the road in a fit of rage, and walked down the street, ignoring the strange looks from the people around him, until he reached the entrance of a nearby park.

Suddenly he saw a tall, handsome, and strong young man walking towards him from across the street.

Toyokawa's father didn't seem to care, but the closer he got, the more familiar he felt.

This figure looks similar to the person who robbed him before?

Although he also stole the money from Sakiko, this young man was undoubtedly a robber!

Enraged, Toyokawa's father pretended to accidentally brush past the handsome young man, then quickly turned around, intending to punch him!

But as soon as he turned around, he found that the big boy was already prepared. He kicked him off balance, causing him to fall to the ground with a thud. His tailbone must have been fractured!

Fengchuan's father cried out in pain, but Riki simply dragged him along and waved to the black luxury car in front.

"Here, here!" Riki shouted loudly.

The black luxury sedan noticed it and drove up around the corner.

"Let me go, you robber! Where are you taking me? I'm calling the police!" Toyokawa's father roared in anger.

"Hello, father-in-law, I'm not a robber," Riki said with a smile, bowing her head to Feng Chuan's father.

"Who's your father-in-law?!"

Riki ignored him. This old man was quite heavy, probably weighing 170 pounds, and his constant jumping made it difficult for Riki to exert any force.

They finally managed to drag him to the door of the black luxury sedan, but Toyokawa Lao Deng gripped the door tightly, his head veins bulging, and refused to get in.

Riki hesitated. Should she kick him in?

He himself wasn't under any psychological pressure, but he still had to consider Sakiko's feelings.

Toyokawa's father gripped the car door tightly, unwilling to get in. Suddenly, he saw a familiar blue hair. Toyokawa Sakiko ran over and, together with Riki, pushed him into the car.

Seeing Toyokawa Sakiko in a daze, and then seeing her pushing him, Toyokawa's father let go and was pushed into the car. The black luxury sedan started up and sped away as soon as the door closed.

Toyokawa's father sat lost in thought in the back seat of the car.

Was that Sakiko just now?

Are they dating?

A robber—no, the boy—took Sakiko's money back.

Did she and that boy push me in?

After a long silence, Toyokawa's father clutched his head and said, "That's what she thinks, so be it... Are you going to take me there to the hospital to have my internal organs removed? How much will that cost?"

"Mr. Toyokawa, Miss Sakiko is just sending you to work as a miner. It's estimated that you can pay off the debt in seventy years. Miss Sakiko has also bought you safety insurance. If you accidentally get melted by the furnace, it can cover ten years of the debt. Miss Sakiko is so good to you," the driver said gently.

"..." Toyokawa's father.

Riki watched the black luxury car drive away, and that finally resolved the issue with Feng Chuan's father.

He turned his head and saw Toyokawa Sakiko gently biting her lip, watching the car drive away. She took a deep breath, turned to Riki, and smiled, "Riki, let's go home."

There were glistening tears in the corners of her eyes.

Riki gripped her slender hand tightly.

"Okay, let's go home."

After resolving the issue with Toyokawa's father, Sakiko became even more focused on Mujica's matter.

Mujica held two live shows within a week, and everyone was in excellent form, which made Sakiko very happy, except for Miaomeng, who seemed to be exhausted after each show.

Toyokawa Sakiko calculated that she would be able to pay off all the money soon, but her recent activities had gone a bit too far, and with Lead Singer Mikumura Shioka and Sumimi's work, she decided to take a break for a while.

"Let's take a week off next week. Taking a proper rest is also part of the job," Toyokawa Sakiko said to the band members in the lounge.

"Yay! Riki, shall we go film a video together?" Miao Meng leaned close to Riki and whispered, "How about we create a CP (couple pairing)? My video audience really likes you. If we create a CP, the viewership will definitely double."

"Sorry, I'm a pure love party member." Riki firmly refused.

Just like he only eats spicy hot pot, he doesn't deal with beef either.

Miao Meng sighed, shrugged, and left. Sakiko went to talk to the staff about Mujica. Mu and Hailing both went back to school.

Riki stretched, went to the restroom to use the toilet, and then prepared to go find the Mygo members.

Each Mujica member has their own life.

Speaking of Chuhua...

Riki had just walked past the door of the lounge when she suddenly heard Mikumura Shioka making a phone call.

"Really? Dad and Mom can't come to my show? It's okay, I have many more shows to perform in the future."

Through the crack in the door, I saw Mikumura Shioka hang up the phone, a look of disappointment on her face.

It hurts, it hurts so much.

Riki understood this feeling. When he shared his first city-level music award with his old friend Deng, he was also pleasantly surprised. "Was this a competition in junior high school? That's amazing!"

Sharp

I was already a senior in high school back then!

The little white dragon has become the Dragon King.

Riki saw Mikumura Shioka scrolling through her phone in the lounge and watched curiously.

"Let's look at this today. It's our old chat history from when Sakiko and I went out together. There are about twenty messages that we can look at for a long time." Mikumura Shioka smiled gently as she looked at her phone screen.

Riki couldn't bear to watch any longer.

Chuhua, you're so lonely. Don't you have any close friends?

No wonder you care so much about your friends' ranking; it turns out you don't have many friends.

"... And then there's the chat history with Riki." Mikumura Shioka looked at her phone screen and smiled gently. "Every chat with Riki is so interesting. I hope we can chat more often, but I wonder if he'll dislike me for chatting with him all the time?"

It's clear that all the Heavy Woman in the "Bang Bang" group have psychological issues.

Chuhua, you're so fashionable, don't you even have any friends to hang out with? Do you really need to see our chat history?

I am, after all, Uchiha Clan, born for love, so I'll reluctantly become friends with you, a member of the Uzumaki clan.

Riki pushed open the door and walked in, saying, "Chu Hua, have you seen my phone charging cable? Did Miao Meng steal it?"

Startled, Mikumura Shioka quickly sat up straight. "Sorry... I didn't see it."

"Really?" Riki glanced around the lounge, finally fixing her gaze on Chu Hua's slightly nervous face. "Well, there's nothing I can do then. I need to buy a new charging cable. Do you know where I can buy one nearby? Do you have time to take me there?"

Mikumura Shioka paused for a moment, then stood up excitedly and said, "I know!"

My buddy's emotional intelligence is just that high.

Chuhua, remember the good I've done for you, and don't always try to do anything funny to me.

Mikumura Shioka happily put on a baseball cap and sunglasses, and walked down the street with Riki in a cheerful mood.

As Mikumura Shioka happily introduced the various shops and local customs of the area to her along the way, Riki suspected that Chu Hua had already done her homework and was just planning to tell her friends this, but she hadn't found any friends until Riki finally had the chance to tell them.

Chu Hua and I spent the whole afternoon strolling through various shopping streets. Although we didn't buy anything, Mikumura Shioka was in a very high mood. She only paused for a moment when she noticed the sun setting, then turned to Riki and said, "We're going down the mountain. Riki, are you going home?"

Riki sighed inwardly as she watched Mikumura Shioka's sincere smile vanish abruptly.

"It's the planetarium's opening hours now, let's go see it and then go home," Riki said.

"...Hmm!" Mikumura Shioka's eyes suddenly brightened, and she nodded vigorously.

She was actually a perceptive girl, and she realized halfway through that Riki had only made an excuse to come out with her because she saw that she was lonely.

Lying on a chair in the planetarium, for the first time, Mikumura Shioka didn't look at the stars in the sky, but instead glanced at Riki beside her.

I don't know why, but my heart is beating really fast.

The joy and happiness welled up in Mikumura Shioka's heart, making her want to keep looking at Riki.

"Riki," Mikumura Shioka whispered.

"?"

"Let's do a simulation exercise of dating," Mikumura Shioka said with a smile.

"Why now?" Riki asked curiously. "Alright, ask away."

"If I... Sakiko told you he liked you, how would you answer?" Mikumura Shioka asked Riki.

"I like you too," Riki said.

Mikumura Shioka pursed her lips, her purple eyes reflecting Riki's face. She nodded happily, her eyes crinkling into crescent moons with laughter.

The planetarium performance had ended. As she walked out of the venue, Mikumura Shioka was happily about to speak when she heard Riki's words.

"It's getting late, let's all go home," Riki said to Chu Hua. "I'll be relying on you to support Sakiko and me in our relationship from now on."

Mikumura Shioka paused for a moment, then smiled brightly and said, "Of course!"

Watching Riki leave, Mikumura Shioka returned home and lay on her bed in a daze.

Why... is my heart beating so hard?

It felt like being cut by a knife.

It made her want to cry.

If only... Riki liked her.

Mikumura Shioka opened her chat history with Riki on her phone, looked at the contents, and after a long while, closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

Chapter 190 Chu Hua learns the truth, and it explodes!

After Sumimi's variety show activities ended, Mikumura Shioka returned to the dressing room and sat down to rest.

"Hatsuka, do you want some donuts? Mana will sneakily get them for you, two for each of you." Sumiida Mana followed her in and smiled at Hatsuka.

"I don't need it, Mana can eat it herself," Mikumura Shioka replied, glancing at her phone, which was barely moving.

"Is Hatsuka in a relationship?" Sumiida Mana asked curiously.
