Tokyo, there are too many beautiful girls imitating me

[Second, persuade her to give up her music career and return to her studies. This way, after graduation, you can recruit her into the family business. The closer you are to the water, the better.]

[3. Hidden rules at the agency? A sex deal? No matter, you'll take action! Leverage your family's influence to secure Chika Tachibana's artist contract, and it's up to you to ensure her path to glory.]

【4. Free simulation.】

Both the first and the second are feasible paths to conquer "her" in the dating simulation, but Mizuki Marin likes "her" too much so that she will never accept such a proposal that will extinguish "her" brilliance.

So from Mizuki Marin's perspective, the most feasible option, the one that best fits her personality, is option three, but...

"no!"

In just a short moment, she had figured out the key point and realized that this was an absolute trap. Her eyes suddenly widened and Chika Tachibana cried out.

However, Kanzuki Manrin couldn't hear it.

In just such a short moment, she had made her choice.

Chapter 14: False Splendor

[Unspoken rules? Alcohol and sex? How could you allow Chika Tachibana to be trapped by such filth and dirt?

You must never allow anyone to block her light or obscure your sun.

Although she is still visible but unreachable, you are still determined to protect her day by day.

You have worked hard towards this goal until today, and it is time to use the strength you have accumulated.

"Can I just pray?"

As expected, without any surprise, Mizuki Manrin chose the option she would definitely choose.

Unable to stop it, the little yellow duck pillow in her arms had been squeezed and deformed by her arms and chest. Living indoors instead of in a love simulator, Chika Tachibana could only sigh.

She could only pray that three years later, Mitsuki Manrin would be mature enough to avoid the story ending in the worst possible way.

However, each option corresponds to an ending. From the moment Guanyue Zhenling clicked option three, the story has been rushing in the wrong direction, and it continues to rush.

[It is just an artist agency with a certain influence in the entertainment industry. How can Kenon be qualified to fight against the top chaebol like the Kanzuki Group that controls the lifeline of Japan's economy?

After using your family's influence to intervene, you easily completed the liquidation of the agent and director who had excluded and forced Chika Tachibana to sell her body in the past, completely eliminated them from the industry, and submitted the collected evidence to the police to ensure that they would continue to be in trouble in the future.

Afterwards, after coaxing your father into giving you a little push, you got the majority stake in an artist agency.

The conditions to drag Chika Tachibana out of the quagmire are easily met, but you are not in a hurry.

Chika Tachibana is not the only one who has grown in these three years. You have also been quietly maturing and becoming more tactful, shedding the image of a proud and spoiled rich girl.

While comforting Chika Tachibana, who was becoming increasingly depressed as her situation remained unchanged and even nestled in your arms for comfort, you made preparations. A month after the liquidation, you finally got her artist contract in your hands, giving her a chance to start over.

But even so, Chika Tachibana still has doubts about you even though her situation has improved.】

"I've been thinking about it, but it doesn't seem normal. Manabu, are you really not involved in my artist transfer?"

You thought Chika Tachibana would try to be more roundabout in her words to deceive you, but in fact she asked quite directly.

This is her trust in you, and it is also an expression of her arrogance towards you in her heart, as the relationship between you always takes the upper hand.

She believes that you won't lie to her easily, and she also believes that she can easily see through your lies.

But you are no longer the same person you used to be. Not only have you abandoned your bad habit of being spoiled and become able to express your feelings directly, you can even tell lies with ease.

Hearing this, the joyful smile on Chika Tachibana's face froze at the news that she could start over. You lowered your head, rubbing your neck with your fingers and giving a wry smile.

"My relationship with my family hasn't improved even now, even though I've tried my best... If I could have done that, I wouldn't have left you alone in Yan'on for so long."

You have rehearsed it many times, and your expressions, movements, and words are all flawless. Even Chika Tachibana, who is closest to you, cannot find any flaws.

The capital injection into the artist agency is carried out through a company that is not officially under the Guanyue Group. Ordinary people simply cannot determine the relationship between the agency and the group through the information that can be searched on the Internet.

In the end, Chika Tachibana believed your lie, and you were able to start the next step of your plan.

[In fact, it is not worth hiding the fact that Chika Tachibana's artist contract was taken away from Ken-On Agency. She is stuck in a quagmire and really needs a helping hand. Telling her that it is you who is helping her will only make her remember your kindness and make your relationship closer.

Unfortunately, your vision does not stop there. You want to help Chika Tachibana realize her wish faster, so that her brilliance can be discovered by the world faster... by taking a shortcut.

This is what you have been planning all along, using the power and money of the Guanyue Group to pave the way for Chika Tachibana's music career.

Worried that your agent might be bewitched by Chika Tachibana and steal your lover while spending time with her day and night together, you carefully select a female agent who has a harmonious family and is in love with her husband to be in charge of Chika Tachibana-related business.

Then, controlling the agency, you formed a strong band with Chika Tachibana as the core, and used the resources and connections of the Guanyue family to escort the band all the way.

Commercial performances, TV events, radio programs, webcasts, and popular film and television interludes...

With the strong exposure brought by the outrageous allocation of resources, the band became popular at an astonishing speed, with concerts held continuously in various places. As the lead singer, Chika Tachibana became the wife in the mouths of many fans because of her beauty.

You despise those stinky fans who have never even buried their lips in Chika Tachibana's breasts or kissed her, and who can only go crazy looking at her photos all day long. At the same time, you frantically collect all the albums, performance tickets, posters and peripherals related to Chika Tachibana, and serve as the president of the fan club.

In this way, three years passed quickly amidst constant capital operations and fanatical star-chasing.

[Three years have passed, and you are about to graduate, while Chika Tachibana has become more and more popular. She has become a well-known musician, and her instrumental albums have sold well. Recently, she even made a guest appearance in a popular film and television drama and appeared on the screen.

She has become a star that everyone is paying attention to, but you are still unknown and are the invisible guardian behind her.

Chika Tachibana still has no idea of ​​what you've done for her. She firmly believes that she has achieved everything she has today through her own hard work and extraordinary luck. However, she never imagined that you have already grown into a woman she cannot understand and is controlling her in turn.

The resources you have are not on the same level at all. You can accomplish many things just by opening your mouth. Whenever she has doubts about you, she will find a way to clear herself completely.

"Masuzu~ I'm telling you something in secret. Our band will be performing at the Budokan soon. Ms. Horii (her agent) has already arranged the schedule for next month on the 6th. Wow~~~ our wish is actually going to come true!"

Everyone's wish... Three years have passed, and Chika Tachibana still remembers the promise she made to her original band members when they parted ways, to carry everyone's dreams forward until they reach the stage of the Budokan.

She is always so nostalgic and always treats everyone she meets in her life so gently. Looking at her happy face, your heart is also filled with joy.

"If we go to the Budokan..."

"Masuzu, let me tell you, I actually wrote the lyrics and music for this messed-up song. I want to give it a messed-up solo during the closing ceremony at the Budokan. It's super fun, you have to come and listen to it."

"Chika, your own song..."

As she approaches the peak of her life, at this moment of joy, you want to make an agreement with her, but just as you open your mouth, you are interrupted by the passionate words of the overly excited Tachibana Chika.

At the right moment, you swallowed the words that were about to come out of your mouth, looked embarrassed, and complained about her overly rough artistic sense in this area.

Her playing and singing were both top-notch, but when it came to writing lyrics and composing music, Chika Tachibana's talent was unexpectedly useless, or rather, quite devastating.

"Well, singing a children's song at a martial arts hall is also a very popular and hot topic."

"Hey! That's the mouth that said such rude words!"

"I'm wrong, I'm wrong, it hurts so much, Qianhua, I beg you to let me go, please, I'm going to die~ I really can't stand it~"

The artistry of your speech obviously touched Chikako Tachibana's sensitive nerves. This usually gentle girl immediately flew into a rage and rushed in front of you, tearing off the mouth on your face that was saying nonsense.

You laughed and played without restraint in the cafe, spending a happy time together. When you finally parted ways, Chika Tachibana asked you for something once again.

"You must come and see it!"

"Don't worry, when has your staunch fan club vice president not appeared in the front row of your concerts?"

You always get internal admission tickets from the firm, so you naturally agree to such a simple request.

So, you reluctantly hugged and said goodbye to Chika Tachibana, not knowing that all this was captured by the paparazzi who were waiting in the dark.

The next day, news spread on the Internet that Chika Tachibana was dating a female lover. Before you could react, the maliciousness had already swept over you.

Shocking! A famous band's lead singer is suspected of being kept by a wealthy conglomerate's daughter!

On the Internet, there is a scandal about Chika Tachibana's hidden rules. 】

Chapter 15: The one she loved the most hurt her the most

"As an amateur band member, please share your thoughts. I've been following the band for a while now. I don't doubt Chika Tachibana's skills, but when she first debuted, I often discussed with my friends why she, the obvious weak link in the band, was chosen to play lead guitar. Now, everything seems to have been answered."

"Even without being famous, she's already been offered all sorts of big projects. I've always suspected that Chika Tachibana must be the exclusive lover of some big shot in the industry, but I never imagined she'd be such a wealthy woman. How enviable! Hehe, I also wish I could just lie in bed and hum a few times and have big projects delivered to my door."

"It's said that the manager who was in charge of Chika Tachibana at Kenon Agency was sent to prison a few years ago. Could it be related to the eldest daughter of the Moon Viewing Group? Those toxic fans are truly terrifying. But if I were the eldest daughter, I would also be willing to raise a beautiful canary like Chika Tachibana."

[Looking at some of the highly praised comments on the forum, and noticing the numerous obscene words and malicious slanders directed at you and Chika Tachibana that kept being refreshed below, your brows twitched wildly.

It's not just a public opinion storm caused by paparazzi's candid photos. The articles published on the Internet have revealed in detail many inside stories about how you used your subsidiaries to inject capital into the firm and asked for plans from people in the industry.

It's obvious that someone bribed an insider to obtain evidence and launched a planned and premeditated attack on you.

You don't know whether it is the competitors of the Guanyue Group or other brothers and sisters who are qualified to inherit the family business who are plotting against you.

In short, this time it was you who dragged Chika Tachibana down and made her fall into the quagmire, just like what happened in the past.

"Where's the PR? What are those crisis PR people doing? Quickly control public opinion and say I'm pursuing you unilaterally, with one-sided wishful thinking. I don't care if my reputation is damaged. Just pick Qianhua out of here."

Then, as for Qianhua, does she know about this matter...?"

The overwhelming negative public opinion did not make you lose your composure. After a brief headache, you immediately ordered your subordinates to step up their response to this crisis.

At the same time, you are more worried about Chika Tachibana's condition than public opinion.

You have been doing these things secretly without telling her. How would she react if she knew the truth?

As you were talking, you saw Chika Tachibana suddenly push the door open and rush in, staring at you breathlessly, and her agent, Ms. Horii, standing behind her with an apologetic look on her face.

It seems that your agent, Ms. Horii, couldn't stand Chika Tachibana's "torture" and revealed your current whereabouts to her.

"Feel sorry."

"Can you come... and talk?"

You lowered your head under Chika Tachibana's sad gaze, no longer having the authority to give orders to your subordinates. You apologized timidly, and still breathlessly, Chika Tachibana asked to talk to you alone.

The rumors on the internet don't matter to her. All she cares about is you and the truth about what has happened over the past three years.

"Qianhua, drink some water."

You moved to the reception room, feeling so guilty as if you had done something wrong that you didn't dare to look up at Chika Tachibana's face. Your eyes noticed her chest rising and falling as she ran towards you in high heels, and you quickly handed her some warm water.

She accepted it, which made you feel somewhat relieved, but her next words were terribly cold.

With her head lowered, you couldn't see her expression, but you knew that the face that usually wore a gentle smile must be now covered with lividity.

“Is everything written in that online report true?”

"..."

In fact, from the moment the agent Ms. Horii couldn't stand the "torture" anymore and brought Chika Tachibana to the secret room inside the agency, both of them already knew the truth of the report.

But Chika Tachibana must still have a last bit of unrealistic fantasy in her heart, and still hopes to hear "no" from your mouth.

But it can no longer be concealed.

"It's true." You replied.

"From the very beginning, you were the one who pulled me out of Kenon. You were the one who orchestrated the formation of the band, and you were the one who got me into commercial performances, TV shows, and even the sideshows. Is that right?"

After the initial questions and answers, Chika Tachibana's voice was relatively calm, which put you at ease for the time being.

Everything you did was for Chika Tachibana. You took her artist's signature because you were afraid she would be bullied in the music industry. You formed a high-quality band for her because you wanted her to have better development. You allocated resources so that she could shine faster...

Everything you do is for her to be happy, to realize her dream as soon as possible, and to shine on the stage.

She already possesses such qualities, and her playing and singing skills are now enough to match her fame. You just gave her a little help when she was still immature, which made her success come a few years earlier.

What you did is worthy of forgiveness. Chika Tachibana is so gentle and mature, she will understand your painstaking efforts and your love.

Yes, she will, you think to yourself.

The party that provides help will always feel a sense of complacency and superiority out of thin air. Although your original intention is not like that, the pleasure of manipulating Chikako Tachibana's dream path for the past three years has subtly distorted your mind.

So, with the thought that you would be forgiven, you answered again.

"Yes, I did all this so that you, Qianhua, could..."

After admitting it, you were eager to explain yourself, but you unexpectedly discovered that Chika's chest, which had been gently shaking, began to shake violently again, accompanied by something you couldn't ignore...

Sobbing.]

You are stunned.

She cried, cried in front of you.

Your relationship with Chika Tachibana has long been very close, reaching the extreme of intimacy that can be achieved between pure female friends.

In the past, when Chika Tachibana was suppressed by Ken-On Agency and was depressed, she sobbed in your arms and sought comfort. That was the only time she cried in front of you.

And now, when she can't hold back her sadness and cries in front of you, isn't it like you are saying that you are the second Yan'on, the second bastard who denied her, defeated her, and made her unable to be strong anymore, and could only show her weak side?

You looked up in a daze, and only then realized that the expression of Chika Tachibana, who was sitting next to you, was not as grim, but rather fragile.
