Hatsuka Leads the Harem Kissing Contest

Sakiko: [Mujica has already gotten on the company car, how's Riki doing?]

Riki: [We're on the train. Aine wanted to play with the Ouija board, but Rikki suppressed her. The two are bickering right now.]

On the way to the summer music festival in Japan, Mujica and Sumimi had company cars to pick them up, but Riki's Mygo had to go by themselves. After all, there was only one main stage, but several secondary stages. The main stage was for well-known professional bands, while the secondary stages could only invite some well-known amateur bands, such as Mygo.

Moreover, Riki was quite nervous, after all, this was the first time the entire harem had gathered, and he had to do his best to ensure a smooth process.

"Oh, right, I heard that the Yotsuba Inn where we're staying later has free ice cream. What flavor do you all like?" Chihaya Anon asked excitedly.

"I like chocolate milk foam," Riki replied immediately.

"Riki, this isn't ice cream," Chihaya Anon said with a smile.

How dare you define chocolate milk foam as not ice cream?

"You guys think we're already big stars? Even music festivals invite us!" Chihaya Anon said proudly.

"It's just a secondary stage, you're overthinking it," Shiina Riki, pouring cold water on the idea while looking at her phone.

"Rikki won't have any friends if she talks like that; it just gives people more room to imagine."

"The person ranked 49th has no right to speak," said Shiina Riki ranked 42nd in the exam.

Chihaya Anon, then said angrily, "I just made a mistake!"

"Rikki- chan, can't I speak either?" Takamatsu Akari tugged at Rikki's sleeve and asked.

"Ah, no, it's not a lamp... Of course you can talk," Shiina Riki quickly said.

The ugly behavior of pushing the light.

Riki laughed, Shiina Riki noticed his glare and glared at him.

Rikki is so fierce.

Nagasaki Sose looked at the Mygo group in front of her, resting her chin on her hands in deep thought.

Her offense has been a bit weak lately.

It wasn't that Nagasaki Sose didn't want to make a move, but the weather was too hot. As soon as she got home from school, she wanted to go home, enjoy the air conditioning, and lazily lie on her bed scrolling through her phone and chatting with Riki. It wouldn't be bad to have Riki come to her house, but he also had work at Mujica. Although she knew he would come if she urged him, Suze still wanted to maintain the image of a gentle, kind, and considerate wife in Riki's heart.

However, this music festival doesn't require that; a thoughtful and confident glint flashed in Nagasaki Sose's eyes.

She's second only to Sakiko in strength; even if Rikki and Deng join her, she poses no threat to me.

If I had to say, Mikumura Shioka is a threat, but I have a physical relationship with Riki. How could she be more powerful than me?

I've been researching her resume these past few days. A pure and innocent popular idol couldn't possibly have achieved this level of success; she's probably the kind of girl who's too naive.

The train arrived at the station, and it took Riki and the others an hour to reach the Yotsuba Inn. Judging from the name, it was a Japanese-style inn. Mygo was assigned a huge room that could sleep more than a dozen people on the floor, but it was now occupied by the six of them.

After putting their luggage away, the Mygo members were about to chat when they heard footsteps coming from the hallway outside. Upon hearing the familiar voices, Shiina Riki, Takamatsu Akari, and Nagasaki Sose were all stunned. They opened their door and saw Mujica and the others about to open the door to the room opposite.

"Mikumura Shioka?!" Chihaya Anon exclaimed in surprise.

This is Mikumura Shioka. Nagasaki Sose narrowed her eyes, revealing a resolute gaze.

Mikumura Shioka smiled and said, "Hello."

"Sakiko-chan," Takamatsu Akari said, looking at Toyokawa Sakiko.

Toyokawa Sakiko paused for a moment in front of the Mujica members, then smiled brightly at Mygo and Riki opposite her.

Good morning, everyone... and Riki too.

The battle for the harem has begun!

Chapter 198 Chu Hua Leads the Harem Kissing Contest

Using the corridor as a dividing line, members of Mygo and Mujica stood facing each other at the room door.

"Hailing." Shiina Riki paused for a moment.

"Sakiko-chan." Nagasaki Sose saw the happy expression on Toyokawa Sakiko.

"Meow Dream?!" Chihaya Anon exclaimed excitedly.

"Who?" Kaname Runa.

"What a coincidence to run into you here! Even our rooms are right next to each other. The organizers must think we're both from Tokyo," Toyokawa Sakiko said after a moment's thought, then turned to Mikumura Shioka and said, "Let's go back to our rooms and rest."

"Okay, see you later Riki." Mikumura Shioka waved to Riki and smiled brightly.

Chihaya Anon frowned slightly, realizing something was wrong.

"See you later," Hachiman Mairin said to Riki.

"See you~" Meow Dream hummed easily.

Wakaba Mutsuki nodded to Riki and obediently went into the room.

Chihaya Anon's brow furrowed more and more. Only after the Mujica group finally entered the room did she unable to help but ask Riki, "Does Riki know all of them?"

Is that the other band that Riki is helping?

Even Sumimi's Hatsuka is in it. Aren't they all beautiful girls? In terms of beauty and figure, they're all on the same level as her.

"I am not very talented, but I am Mujica's music director," Riki said frankly.

"Why didn't you say so sooner?!" Chihaya Anon wailed, clutching her head.

If she had told them earlier, she wouldn't have considered that band as a rival. She couldn't possibly compete with Mujica, and besides, her favorite Mikumura Shioka and Nyanmu, were there too. She just wanted to get their autographs.

"In order to uphold Mujica's worldview," Riki said.

However, since they were all assigned to the same hotel by the organizers, there was no need to hide it anymore.

"Huh..." Chihaya Anon asked in confusion, "Is worldview really that important?"

Do you have a problem with Sakiko's worldview, which he created in the few minutes before bedtime?

Riki glanced at the Mygo harem trio beside her. Currently, Mygo and Mujica's harems are evenly distributed, with three members on each side. At least for now, each side can get along stably. However, it remains to be seen what kind of chemical changes will occur if they are combined.

I'm going to end it all here.

The rudiments of a harem were established, ushering in a bright future.

The rehearsal schedule for the Japanese summer music festival is very tight. They will start rehearsing soon after they arrive. Mujica has Sakiko and Chuhua leading the team, as well as the seasoned veteran Miaomeng and Miss Sanae, so there shouldn't be any problems. Riki will be with Mygo.

"So many bands," Takamatsu Akari murmured, looking at the bands next to the open-air stage. "As many as the stars."

They're all just mass-produced Zaku.

Nagasaki Sose and the members of Mygo walked onto the stage, but their eyes were fixed on the main stage diagonally opposite, where Mujica was also rehearsing. The Lead Singer, Mikumura Shioka, was enough to steal the show just by standing there, and the slightest smile on her face was enough to leave the staff speechless.

A bunch of idiots who only care about appearances! Girls should be judged by their inner beauty!

Nagasaki Sose was unhappy. She regarded Mikumura Shioka as her rival. Everyone else could be considered Crychic's companions, but Mikumura Shioka was the first person she didn't know well. She only knew that she was Rikki's classmate and had met Akari a few times. She was a popular idol.

"Miss bassist, could you please be a little more serious?" The staff member in charge of the rehearsal, wiping sweat from their brow under the blazing sun, said politely to Nagasaki Sose, "It's very hot right now."

"I'm sorry!" Nagasaki Sose said hastily after a moment of surprise, but the more flustered she became, the more chaotic her actions became.

She looked down at the bass strings and, noticing a tall person approaching, quickly said, "Sorry, I'm adjusting."

Nagasaki Sose was a little flustered. She had never been blamed by an outsider before. Although the other person's tone was not malicious, she was, after all, a high school student who had just graduated. The kind of urging that is common among adults is very stressful for minors.

Nagasaki Sose felt increasingly nervous. Suddenly, she felt a tap on her head and a slight coolness on her face.

"Take care of yourself, everyone's waiting for you." Riki put a baseball cap on Nagasaki Sose and adjusted it for her. "After all, you're very sensitive to heat, and you always have the air conditioning on at home. I knew you'd be nervous, so here, I bought you a baseball cap to keep you cool. It really gets hot on stage when the sun is shining."

Nagasaki Sose felt relieved when she saw Riki. She peeked over and noticed that Riki had bought iced drinks for the stage staff, who were resting and drinking them, so she didn't urge her for the time being.

Nagasaki Sose felt a warmth in her heart.

"Hmph, I don't need your help. What kind of hat is this? It's ugly as hell, nothing like my Kuma-chan looks like her." Nagasaki Sose snorted, reaching out to adjust the baseball cap on her head, complaining, "It even flattened my hair that I washed last night."

"Give it back to me, I spent two hundred yen on it," Riki said.

This matter is also recorded in ancient books. "He always criticized Riki, not recognizing a kind heart."

"No, how can you take back something you've already given away!" Nagasaki Sose snorted. Suddenly, she felt something white on her baseball cap. She looked up and saw that Riki had stuck a note under the extended part of the cap, with Riki's handwriting written on it.

[Miss Sose is the best!]

A chibi version of Nagasaki Sose was also drawn afterward.

Nagasaki Sose couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth, and snorted as she looked at Riki, who seemed completely unaffected.

That goes without saying.

I am the prettiest, hardest-working, and kindest girl.

"Alright, hurry up and go down, we need to rehearse." Nagasaki Sose waved Riki away.

Dispose of after use.

Nagasaki Sose is indeed a very low-quality person.

Riki walked towards the stairs leading to the stage when she suddenly heard Nagasaki Sose's voice. Turning around, she saw Motoyo's eyes crinkling into crescent moons as she softly and gently said, "Thank you for your concern and encouragement~"

I wasn't worried about you at all.

When Riki returned to the stage, she saw Nagasaki Sose had returned to her usual self and was smiling. This kind of girl, who was outwardly arrogant but inwardly a little conceited, was the real Nagasaki Sose.

It wasn't in vain that he treated the staff next to him to iced drinks.

The little note trick I secretly learned from Rikki seems to be very useful, after all, that's how Rikki gradually won him over.

Mygo's rehearsal has ended, and Nagasaki Sose discovers that Mujica's rehearsal on the main stage is still ongoing. It's not that Mujica's rehearsal is going badly; on the contrary, it's going extremely well. However, they have a lot of songs to perform, as they are one of the most important guests at this music festival.

Mygo is comparable to an excellent LDL team, while Mujica is comparable to a top-tier TES team.

With an older brother... no, with Lead Singer, there's bound to be a lot of viewership.

Nagasaki Sose followed Mygo and the others to the side of the main stage, looking at Toyokawa Sakiko on the keyboard, then at Wakaba Mutsuki playing guitar, and finally at the Lead Singer Mikumura Shioka.

She's so beautiful.

And she sings incredibly well.

If I were that capable, would Sakiko have invited me to Mujica in the first place?

Nagasaki Sose pursed her lips, then suddenly noticed that the Mikumura Shioka had just finished playing, had noticed her gaze and smiled at her.

Nagasaki Sose returned a formulaic smile, but unexpectedly, Mikumura Shioka took off her guitar strap, walked over to her, and smiled, "Motoyo-chan, hello."

"Hello, Hatsuka." Nagasaki Sose smiled, inwardly thinking, "Calling me by my name right away is too impersonal."

I never intended to get along with you.

"I saw the rehearsal on the secondary stage just now. Su Shi is really impressive when he gets serious. No wonder he was Sakiko's former teammate," Mikumura Shioka said with a smile.

Nagasaki Sose was immediately annoyed. What former teammates? She hadn't even admitted that Crychic had completely disbanded; it was just that no one was coming anymore.

"Not just Sakiko, but also one of the first band members Riki coached." Nagasaki Sose smiled casually, "It's true that my bass playing isn't as good as a professional's, so I often have to ask Riki for help. Look at this nice hat, Riki bought it for me."

Nagasaki Sose keenly noticed that the smile in Mikumura Shioka's eyes faded slightly. She stared blankly at the hat on Misumi's head, and after a moment, she smiled again, "I see, that's good."

Although it was only for a moment, Nagasaki Sose felt a pressure for some reason.

That's a bit scary.

"I need to continue rehearsing. I'll chat with Suze-chan later," Mikumura Shioka said with a smile.

"Hmm." Nagasaki Sose nodded with a smile, watching Mikumura Shioka walk back onto the stage for rehearsal. She looked at Sakiko playing the piano and Wakaba Mutsu Wakaba Mutsuki the guitar on stage, and felt a little bitter.

If only we could continue performing together, we wouldn't need an outsider like Chu Hua at all.

Nagasaki Sose sighed and glanced at Riki beside her, asking, "What are you eavesdropping on?"

"I'm worried that a battle between two supreme beings might affect me," Riki said, but he still approached Su Shi and asked, "Could Chu Hua join us?"

"Oh, Mr. Riki, you are the esteemed mistress of the harem, how could you possibly ask for the opinion of a mere woman like me?" Nagasaki Sose said with a smile and a gentle tone.

I always said that it was a huge mistake for Onmyoji not to collaborate with Mygo. Who dares to say that Nagasaki Sose isn't an Onmyoji comparable to Abe no Seimei?

"This isn't just about you, it's about Crychic. Riki, don't interrupt, I'll handle it." Nagasaki Sose looked at Mikumura Shioka with a determined gaze.

No, I have to interrupt.

Nagasaki Sose pondered. She couldn't accept having another person in the Crychic circle; having Riki was already an accident.
