New Members of the Household: Mutsumi and Umiri (Continued)

"No, I'm not praising Miss Sose as being like a flower on a high mountain," Riki said.

"A flower on a high mountain" is a synonym for having no friends.

Speaking of Su Shi's water bottle, it's a 3-liter sports water bottle. After each practice session, she would run to a corner and secretly gulp down a big mouthful. Occasionally, water droplets would slide from the corner of her lips to her chin, sparkling in the summer sun, which was extremely charming.

Is Su Shi made of water? She always seems to be replenishing so much moisture.

No wonder her skin is so supple and smooth.

Nagasaki Sose looked at Riki with suspicion.

"So we absolutely cannot fail, so that everyone in junior high can see the strength of their favorite Student Council President!" Chihaya Anon said confidently to Riki.

Indeed, as the Fox God once said, belief needs no reason.

Then I'll trust Aine.

Riki noticed the lack of confidence in Chihaya Anon's eyes and said, "Aine has practiced very hard in the past six months and is already capable of standing next to her idol Mana. Just do your best."

"I, of course I know!"

Chihaya Anon blushed and quickly replied, when she heard Riki say that.

I felt relieved.

Of course... it was only because she drank an iced beverage, not because of what Riki said.

"Yes, yes, I'm not nervous!" Sumiida Mana said to the director nervously, her face tense.

The director hesitated for a moment, then said, "This time you can act alongside the members of the Mygo band. They can play some of the music, so don't be too nervous."

"Eh, Riki?!" Sumiida Mana exclaimed in surprise, covering her mouth.

"Uh, no, I meant Mygo." The director was taken aback. Why did you immediately think of their music director instead of the band members when you mentioned Mygo?

Sumiida Mana looked embarrassed and quickly changed the subject, saying to the director, "Okay, I understand, I'll adjust myself!"

Mana, take good care of yourself, bro, we're waiting for your live performance.

Riki nodded and smiled at the director, and the two brushed past each other. Lu Yi asked Sumiida Mana curiously, "Did Mana act with Hatsuka when she debuted?"

"Yeah, we've always worked together, so I was a little nervous this time since Hatsuka wasn't here," Sumiida Mana chuckled.

Not just a little.

Your face is more taut than Hercules' right now.

"Usually, Chu Hua would cheer me on before the live performance, but I'm a little unaccustomed to not having her by my side this time," Sumiida Mana said with a smile. She had just finished speaking when she heard Riki's words.

"Mana can definitely do it!" Riki encouraged, clenching her fist.

"Huh?" Sumiida Mana paused, blushing slightly, and asked, "Why are you suddenly saying that?"

"Since Chu Hua isn't here, I'll just act as Chu Hua's meal replacement to cheer you up. You can just think of me as Chu Hua," Riki said.

Mana, just think of your teammates as slightly more advanced performers, and treat it as a solo live performance. Riki supports Sumimi.

Sumiida Mana stared at Riki, somewhat bewildered.

So, were you touched, Donut Lady?

You can be so moved you cry.

I have no objection.

Sumiida Mana looked at Riki hesitantly and said, "But when Hatsuka cheers, she doesn't dance around like Riki does."

Awkward.

The air was quiet.

Riki looked at the fist clenching in front of her and slowly withdrew it.

His courageous act of extroversion resulted in a lifetime of introversion.

Donut Lady, you are guilty of heinous crimes!

"However... Riki's way of encouraging me is also good. Mana felt Riki's sincerity, thank you." Sumiida Mana's face was slightly red as she leaned forward with her hands behind her back and smiled happily at Riki.

"Besides, Riki is Riki, not someone's substitute."

I'm captivated by the Donut Lady.

Sumiida Mana looked at Riki, the unease that had been falling like raindrops in her heart had stopped at some point, replaced by a deep sense of peace. This suddenly reminded her of the leisurely days when she helped her parents at the shrine when she was a child.

That feeling was the happiness she had been searching for.

Sumiida Mana blinked and suddenly realized something was wrong.

How could she have misunderstood again!

"Hey, hehe... Riki, I'm going to practice with Anon-chan first." Sumiida Mana chuckled awkwardly and left the scene in a bit of a panic.

She... definitely doesn't have those feelings for Riki.

Yes, definitely not!

The Osaka Live started promptly at 6 PM. Looking at the audience of over 5,000 people, Riki suddenly realized that Mygo was already a very famous band. Although not all of these audience members came for Mygo, it still proved that Mygo had reached the level required for this platform.

Everyone has grown up.

Maybe I can start researching the opponents at the Budokan.

Whether they will become professional band members is another matter; it's very possible in the future.

As Riki was thinking, she saw the stage lights come on, and Mygo's performance indeed drew thunderous applause from the audience.

The lamp's song was very bright; it seems that soothing the throat is indeed helpful.

I'll help her moisturize it next time.

Riki glanced at Chihaya Anon beside her. Although she was playing seriously, her nervous face revealed that she was already imagining her upcoming live performance with Mana.

Chihaya Anon was indeed very nervous, but unexpectedly, she found herself becoming calmer and calmer as she played. Thinking of the trusting look in Riki's eyes, a smile involuntarily appeared on her face.

After Mygo's live performance ended, they didn't leave the stage. Instead, they adjusted their positions, and Sumiida Mana walked up from the side of the stage.

The audience was surprised to see Sumiida Mana from Sumimi perform with Mygo, and after a moment of astonishment, they erupted in thunderous applause.

The unexpected applause startled Chihaya Aine, who nervously gripped her Chihaya Anon and looked at Sumiida Mana beside her.

Sumiida Mana closed her eyes and gently exhaled. "Mana can definitely do it."

That's what Riki said.

After speaking softly, Sumiida Mana turned to Chihaya Anon and smiled, "Let's begin, Anon-chan, I'm counting on you for the guitar!"

Chihaya Anon smiled excitedly and brightly, "Of course!"

Today is definitely the happiest day of her life.

No, better days are yet to come!

Mygo will have many more opportunities to perform with Mana!

The live stream continued, and the audience's cheers were deafening, bringing happy smiles to the faces of the five Mygo members Sumiida Mana on stage. Beads of sweat glistened on their foreheads under the spotlight.

"Ha, finally back in Tokyo!" Chihaya Anon stretched, then took out her phone to look at their performance from last night on Twitter, and smiled as she saw the praising comments below.

"Now you're definitely famous, right? I wonder if people will recognize you on the street?"

"We're just one of the twenty-odd bands that were invited, not as famous as Anon-chan thinks," Nagasaki Sose said helplessly. "I'm going home now. I have my exams at Tsukinomori soon, and I haven't been studying lately."

High school students should indeed prioritize their studies.

If this were a Chinese school campus, they'd confiscate your guitar!

Thinking you can play guitar and pick up girls? Don't even think about it!

"Then I'll take the lantern and the Wild Cat back with me." Shiina Riki said to Riki. She was going the same way as Kaname Runa's house, and taking the lantern back was just a pure knightly thought.

Riki followed Chihaya Anon home. Just like a skilled electrician who can tell whether there is electricity by touch, Riki's sensitive skin also felt that Chihaya Anon was secretly watching him.

Are you going to take more photos secretly later?

I'll check your phone, Aine.

"Ahem..." Chihaya Anon began with a light cough, like an old cadre, and secretly glanced at Riki, saying, "Well, thanks to Riki these past six months, the performances have gone very smoothly."

Comrade Riki was commended and awarded a rotating red flag, and it is hoped that others will follow Comrade Riki's example and learn from him.

"Aine just worked hard on her own," Riki said modestly.

"No, it's because of Riki." Chihaya Anon insisted unexpectedly, smiling at Riki, "If it weren't for Riki, I wouldn't have been able to persevere for so long."

She scratched her face and said, "When Riki was teaching me before, I actually thought about giving up and always pretended not to learn. But Riki patiently taught me, so thanks to Riki, I was able to perform with Mana like this now."

Oh, you were faking it?

I thought you were really low on... you know.

I misunderstood you, I'm sorry.

"So..." Chihaya Anon looked at Riki and gave him a bright smile, "I'll try to hold out a little longer for the harem experience, though of course I won't agree to it now. Goodbye!"

Riki watched as Chihaya Anon waved goodbye and left, and waved back in farewell.

Now...?

She was already ready to agree, but she was still being Tsundere.

Are all the Heavy Woman Flowers like this?

Seeing Chihaya Anon's smiling face, Riki felt much happier. Just as he was about to turn and leave, he heard Chihaya Anon calling him from across the street.

"Oh, right, there's one more thing I forgot to mention." Chihaya Anon cupped her hands to her mouth, her cheeks flushed, and smiled at Riki, "I still like Riki, you can rest assured!"

She finished speaking and left with a smile, her pink hair swaying lightly in the air, leaving behind a string of silvery laughter.

Riki paused for a moment, then smiled and turned to walk home.

The layout of Riki's house is similar to other houses. After all, it is a detached house, and no matter how it is renovated, it will not change much. Riki Toyokawa Sakiko usually live in the bedroom on the second floor and sleep in the same bed.

At other times, the two would rest in the living room on the first floor. Sakiko would do some homework on Haneoka's songs and communicate with the company about the performance situation; Riki would tutor Sakiko's homework, then write music for Mujica and give feedback on Rikki's music.

Then, naturally, they rolled around in bed at night, and after taking a shower, they fell asleep in each other's arms. When Sakiko woke him up in the morning, Sakiko was already dressed in her Haneoka school uniform and gently called him to get up.

Riki suddenly understood why Whitebeard had shouted those words before he died.

Beautiful High School Girl moms are a real thing!

Sakiko was still a little nervous. Riki noticed that without his knowledge, Sakiko had filled the bedside table with 0.01 yuan notes. Could she have secretly gone to the supermarket wearing sunglasses and a baseball cap to buy them?

Sakiko was truly hungry.

Riki thoughtfully slid the drawer back in, not wanting Sakiko to find out and become too embarrassed.

Speaking of which, Sakiko is almost at the safe period.

Riki was thinking that after buying Coke and groceries from the supermarket and returning home, she didn't see Sakiko in the living room, but she could hear noises coming from the bathroom. Was he taking a shower?

As Riki walked to the bathroom door, she suddenly saw a black lace bra in the basket where the change of clothes were kept.

When did Sakiko start buying such masculine underwear?

No, it's Mei Lu's underwear.

But the size doesn't seem quite right.

Riki picked up the underwear and suddenly saw the bathroom door open. Hachiman Mairin, wrapped in a bath towel and with a slender and curvaceous figure, stared at her underwear in his hand for a long time.

Cool girl?

Why did you take a bath at his house?

As Riki was thinking this, she noticed a light green figure in the bathroom. Wakaba Mutsuki was soaking in the bathtub, peering at Riki.

"Riki." Wakaba Mutsuki waved gently, her fair and slender shoulders emerging from the water. With the movement of her arm, she almost exposed her full breasts.
