New Members of the Household: Mutsumi and Umiri

"Um... Rikki, do you believe it? I was also moisturizing Deng's throat." Riki said awkwardly.

Shiina Riki took a deep breath, burning with rage.

"Wait, don't drop it! Isn't that the humidifier you're supposed to use for the light?"

Shiina Riki looked at Riki with embarrassment and annoyance, but finally put down the humidifier in her hand and snorted under Riki's strange gaze.

"Rikki?" Riki asked curiously.

"What?" Shiina Riki asked irritably.

"Aren't you angry anymore?"

Shiina Riki glanced at Riki, then looked at Takamatsu Akari, turned her face away and whispered, "What are you angry about? Akari and I are both your girlfriends."

Riki smiled; Rikki was indeed a Tsundere.

Shiina Riki sighed, then noticed Takamatsu Akari swallow, blink, and turn to look at Riki, her anger rising again.

"Riki, you lecherous bastard!"

In the afternoon, Mygo rehearsed and practiced on stage for the performance. Shiina Riki gave Riki a cold look and it was expected to take some time for her to calm down.

Mygo's performance level has been getting better and better. Although they are not on par with professional bands, their level is obvious to all, which allows Riki to watch from the sidelines with peace of mind.

"Here, donuts." Riki placed the donut box on the chair.

Sumiida Mana walked over and sat down, hesitating about the distance between them. She placed it at 15 centimeters, the distance between a man and a woman who are friends. Any closer and they would be easily suspected of being a couple.

She couldn't let Riki misunderstand that she liked her.

Otherwise, Riki will go astray again.

Although Mana would definitely not agree to Riki's harem.

Donuts, so delicious.

Sumiida Mana was happily munching on a donut when she heard Riki's words.

"Is it just Mana today? Didn't Miss Sanae ask you and Hatsuka to come with her?" Riki asked.

"Well, Miss Sanae said that Hatsuka should focus more on Mujica, since Mujica is more popular and has better commercial value. As for me... I'll have more solo activities for now, hehe, I'm a little nervous doing it all by myself." Sumiida Mana scratched her cheek and chuckled.

Her face looks so soft.

I want to scratch a donut too.

"I'm sorry, it's my fault," Riki apologized.

"It's alright, it's alright." Sumiida Mana quickly waved her hand. "It's only natural that I'm not as good as Hatsuka. Besides, I have Riki to eat donuts with me."

The donuts you love are your life.

"Oh, right!" Sumiida Mana suddenly looked at Riki anxiously. "Riki, are you alright? Didn't you say you were going to fight?"

"Yeah, I got into a fight with an Akainu named Akainu. He ambushed me from under the tunnel and broke my ribs." Riki sighed.

Sumiida Mana was so shocked that her mouth dropped, and she stammered, "Are you alright? You need to see a doctor first!"

Sumiida Mana lifted Riki's clothes and reached out to touch his upper body. She felt Riki obvious abdominal and pectoral muscles, and when she pressed them, she could only feel that they were hard, but she could not find any wounds.

Rather, Riki's body was as perfect as a sculpture, allowing Sumiida Mana, a girl who grew up in a shrine and whose only male companions were her older brother and father, to see a male body for the first time.

Unlike her beer-bellied father, and unlike her skinny brother.

It's the body of a healthy boy who exercises regularly.

She will definitely be able to give birth to a healthy baby.

Sumiida Mana was lost in thought for a moment, and carefully pressed Riki's abdominal muscles with her index finger.

"Mana, can I put the clothes down now?" Riki finally couldn't help but ask. How come she never realized that the Donut Lady had this perverted side before?

Do you really like my big muscles that much?

Sumiida Mana looked up at Riki, her face visibly stiffening, her fair cheeks gradually turning pink, her ears turning bright red, and white mist rising from her head, transforming her into a steam princess.

"Then, um... what about Riki's injury?" Sumiida Mana stammered, her face flushed.

"I'm sorry, I was just kidding," Riki said.

I was just joking.

I didn't expect you to be so worried about me that you actually reached out and lifted my clothes.

My Donut Lady is more worried about me than my own mother is.

Sumiida Mana felt a surge of shame and lowered her head, burying it in her legs and making soft, whimpering sounds like a small animal.

Riki was surprised that his casual remark had made Mana worry about him so much. Touched, he apologized, "I'm sorry, next time I'll buy your favorite donut, the one with the super long line."

It takes two hours to get there.

Riki was willing to call the head chef of that shop the Donut Master.

Sumiida Mana looked up at Riki, her face flushed, and asked, "Really?"

"A word is a word," Riki replied hastily.

Sumiida Mana didn't understand, but she knew Riki was expressing his sincerity, so she whispered, "Then it's a date."

Sumiida Mana kept her head down, continuing to eat her donuts, her face burning. She wasn't actually angry with Riki; she was just ashamed of her behavior.

You Mana, how could you just touch a boy's body like that?

This is unsound!

Sumiida Mana secretly glanced at Riki, but the touch on her fingers just now was warm and hard, and it felt really comfortable to touch.

Her face flushed again at the thought.

No, no, I can't think about these things!

"Well, at least Riki isn't hurt," Sumiida Mana whispered.

"Thank you for your concern Mana," Riki said with a smile.

Riki and Sumiida Mana had just finished eating donuts when it was Sumiida Mana's turn to rehearse. Riki noticed that Sumiida Mana seemed very nervous when performing alone, and she often misspoke the lyrics. Although the live director did not put pressure on her and often comforted her, Sumiida Mana, who was overly serious and received a lot of attention, became even more nervous.

Is Mana lacking in confidence when she's alone?

It was also my fault that Chu Hua shifted her focus to Mujica.

Think of a solution.

What methods can help Mana gain confidence to go on stage? Besides, Aine's situation hasn't been resolved yet, and she probably wants to stand in the center of the stage too.

Is there a way to make both of them happy?

Riki thought for a moment, then suddenly saw Chihaya Anon walking off the stage with a sigh, and a flash of inspiration struck her.

Isn't Aine just trying to steal the spotlight?

Mana. Wouldn't giving her a teammate who needs taking care of her transform Mana into Holy Donut, saintly figure?

No, the word "Holy Mother" sounds a little intimidating to Mana.

It makes Mana sound very maternal.

Riki looked at the uneasy Sumiida Mana on the stage.

Why don't Mana and Mygo perform together?

Adding another person allows for a change in positioning; Aine can move closer to the center of the stage, and Mana won't be as nervous.

Riki walked over to Chihaya Anon and said, "Aine, the perks of joining the harem are here! Get ready to be in the center of the stage!"

"...Huh?" Chihaya Anon looked up at Riki, startled.

You should have told me sooner!

No, I'm just here to experience it; I haven't fully agreed yet!

"Would you like to go on stage with Mana?" Riki asked.

"I do!" Chihaya Anon said solemnly, raising her hand immediately.

Chapter 218 New Family Member, Harmony and Hailing

As a Sumi fanatic, well... after experiencing a dimensional slash, I became a huge fan of Sumi.

Chihaya Anon felt that sharing the stage with Sumiida Mana was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

What? The harem benefits are pretty good... wait a minute!

We can't let ourselves really fall into this trap!

Chihaya Anon patted her cheeks, making them turn red, her eyes serious.

You're a masochist, aren't you?

Even those with sensitive skin can take photos of their face.

"What should I do?" Chihaya Anon asked curiously. "Should it just be me and Mana on stage? Wouldn't that take up the center stage? That's not good. If that happens, I'll be the most famous member of Mygo. I should design the autographs first."

Chihaya Anon was both humble and proud, with an uncontrollable upward curve to her lips.

Stop laughing, Aine. LGD had the same confident smile before the match back then.

Wait, which project is LGD in? They all seem like good fits?

"It's not you going on stage, it's everyone from Mygo going on stage with Mana. I just told the director." Riki pointed with her thumb to the Live Director who was still helping Mana relax by the side of the stage.

"Eh, isn't it just me and Mana?" Chihaya Anon scratched her face. "But it's alright, this way everyone will definitely get more attention if they're with Mana."

She wasn't too disappointed, after all, she knew that her guitar skills were far inferior to Hatsuka's, and performing with Mana would only embarrass her idol.

"However, because of the addition of people, the positions have been adjusted. You can stand next to Mana, while the others are around you, which means you're in the center of the stage," Riki said.

"Eh... Eh?!!" Chihaya Anon's eyes widened in surprise.

An indescribable joy and overwhelming nervousness welled up inside me.

That's fantastic! You're truly the center of attention!

But can I play as well as Hatsuka? She's playing Mana!

I've only been practicing guitar for six months.

Chihaya Anon felt a pang of hesitation and nervousness. Just as she was about to speak, Riki said, "If the performance is successful, Aine's former junior high school classmates will be happy, right?"

Oh, right!

That's true!

Chihaya Anon discovers that she has a reason to go on stage.

For her vanity!

Chihaya Anon's confidence level is back to 100%!

Confident in her Aine, she will surely Aine.

"Are many classmates paying attention to this?" Riki asked curiously.

"Not that many," Chihaya Anon. "Just over a thousand junior high school classmates, I guess."

Stealing... stealing the young?!

You have so many friends, why don't you share some with Su Shi? She has very few friends.

Riki pondered; this statement seemed to have the potential to become a hellish joke.

"Haha, not all of them are my friends like Riki imagines. It's because I was the Student Council President in junior high school, so many people know me. Also, after my classmates went back last time, they kept talking about me at Mygo, so everyone is paying attention. I only have about thirty or fifty real friends." Chihaya Anon Aine waved her hand at Riki like a lucky cat and laughed.

Your words only make Miss Sose look even more pitiful.

I don't think I've ever heard her talk about her friends from the Tsukinomori.

Do you have more than two friends besides Wakaba Mutsuki?

Just as Nagasaki Sose finished practicing and was drinking water to replenish her fluids, she noticed Riki's pitiful look. Her eyes twitched, and she smiled as she asked, "Why Riki looking at me like that? Are you talking badly about me in your heart?"
