Do you like humans that much, Chihaya Aine?

　Chihaya Aine became alert. What bad plan did this Metis have?

　"It doesn't mean anything else. No matter which time and space, which universe, the final outcome of the humans chosen by Ultraman is basically the same."

　"So let's get along well, Aine-chan~~ We still have a lot of time to live with."

　"?"

　Aine had no idea what this guy was talking about, so she decided to ask Mefilas later.

　Metis left. She didn't talk much with Chihaya Aine. It should be said that Metis turned back into Wakaba Mutsuki.

　The silly cucumber Mutouren came online, she looked at Aine in front of her and asked stupidly.

　"Did Metis talk to you about anything?"

　"Xiao Mu, don't you know?"

　"I do not know."

　Mu shook her head. If it were in the past, she would know everything Metis was thinking, but Metis had become a real "human", and little Mu could no longer know the thoughts of her other self.

　"We didn't talk about anything."

　Aiyin smiled and avoided the topic. Although she didn't want to admit it, Metis was indeed very true to his promise. He didn't tell anyone that he was the human body of Ultraman, not even Xiaomu.

　But this doesn't mean that Aine will let down her guard against Metis, because what happened in the Toyokawa family was too strange. If there is anyone behind the scenes who is the mastermind behind Mutsuko, it is probably that guy Metis.

　The leisure time for chatting is over, let's get back to the night banquet. Toyokawa Shoko is undoubtedly the focus of tonight. She inherited the position of the head of the Toyokawa family at a young age. Whoever can marry her will instantly possess such a huge family power as the Toyokawa family.

　So as expected, tonight, many dignitaries brought their own young talents to introduce countless people to Toyokawa Shoko and try to get close to her, which made Li Xi almost want to vomit.

　"No wonder Toyokawa Shoko wants us to accompany her tonight. If it were me, I would have wanted to beat her up."

　"It seems that being a rich lady is not easy either."

　Hailing threw a bottle of juice to Lixi, and Lixi took it with great curiosity.

　"Where did you get this? There's no such drink at the banquet, right?"

　"Lena gave it to me."

　The magical cat Lenai can always find some unexpected things, but no one knows where the cat has disappeared to.

　After Aiyin dealt with another round of social engagements, she finally had some free time to talk to another person.

　"Su Shi, is this your mother?"

　"Yes, this is my mom, and this is my friend Chihaya Aine."

　Nagasaki Sushi introduced Aine and her mother to each other. Seeing that a friend came to see her daughter, Sushi's mother nodded in understanding.

　"Then Sushi, you can chat with your friends for a while. Mom, I saw someone I know and I'm going to go over and say hello."

　"Drink less."

　"Don't worry, I won't get drunk."

　After a brief exchange between mother and daughter, Su Shi finally asked Aine.

　"I heard from Meimei that something terrible happened to the lamp."

　"We all already know that Metron is an alien. There's no need to hide it."

　"Yeah~ I almost forgot."

　The alien identity of the Metron people is already public knowledge, and there is no need for Nagasaki Motoyo to help hide it anymore. However, the matter of Takamatsu Deng still concerns Motoyo.

　"Is Deng okay? I was really shocked when I heard that she was attacked by aliens."

　"No problem. Deng is now a member of the Earth Defense Force. She has Genmaki Shin-senpai and the others to protect her."

　"Is that so... That's good."

　Su Shi felt relieved, and then she suddenly brought up something.

　"I've learned about Xiaoxiang's situation, and I have an idea about it."

　"Let CRYCHIC be resurrected."

　Amazing wisdom, reproduction!

　Volume 1: 138. Sit at the children's table

　"what?"

　Aine breathed, hadn't Nagasaki Suyo already let go of her obsession with Crychik? Why was she trying to summon the spirit of Crychik again?

　"Because you see, Xiaoxiang quit CRYCHIC because she left the Fengchuan family. It was a choice she had to make in order to make a living."

　"Now that Xiaoxiang has become the new head of the Fengchuan family, she no longer has to worry about life issues. Doesn't this give Crychic an opportunity to revive?"

　"Hearing what you said, it seems to make some sense..."

　Chihaya

　Aine frowned. She was not really moved by Ms. Su Shi's shocking speech, but Su Shi reminded Aine of another problem, the reason why Toyokawa Shoko joined the M78 band.

　At that time, Aine invited Toyokawa Shoko to join the M78 band, but she didn't know the real reason why she joined her band. Later, Shoko took the initiative to confess her story, and everyone knew that she had left the Toyokawa family and worked to support herself and her father.

　Now Shoko Toyokawa has become the new head of the Toyokawa family. She and her father have returned to the Toyokawa family openly, and the 168 billion deficit debt is no longer a problem.

　Then the reason for Shoko Toyokawa to stay in the M78 band no longer exists. What Lixi said this afternoon was a bit impulsive and harsh, but she was indeed right.

　If she can no longer participate in live events and can no longer freely form a band, then Toyokawa Shoko might as well quit the M78 band. After all, the reason why she joined the M78 band and the reason why she stayed in the M78 band are gone.

　"Aine, you think so too, right? If Xiaoxiang is willing, Crychic can definitely be resurrected."

　"I guess that's unlikely."

　Chihaya Aine shook her head. Even if Toyokawa Shoko turned back into the soft and sweet little Shoko and wanted to revive CRYCHIC, there was one person who would definitely not agree, and that was Shiina Tatsuki.

　Even if Deng begged Li Xi, Li Xi probably would not return to CRYCHIC. Although Aine had never asked Li Xi about this, she had such a feeling. This was probably due to her understanding and confidence in her bad friend.

　"Su Shi, why are you so obsessed with CRYCHIC?"

　Aine couldn't help but feel curious. According to Riki, it was only two months from the formation to the disbandment of CRYCHIC, and they only participated in one small live performance. Did Su Shi miss CRYCHIC so much?

　"Because it was Xiaoxiang, it was CRYCHIC who saved me from loneliness."

　Nagasaki Suyo comes from a single-parent family. Her mother often does not come home for work. Suyo has learned to be independent and strong since she was a child. She behaves more like a caring mother.

　But Su Shi is a human being, and she also needs the care and companionship of others. It was Shoko Toyokawa who reached out to her and invited her to join CRYCHIC, allowing Su Shi to feel the warmth she had not felt for a long time.

　"Hmm... I don't quite understand..."

　For Aiyin, whose parents are still alive, who lives a happy life, and who has the love of her family and the care of her friends, this problem is indeed difficult to understand.

　But it's probably like the loneliness she felt when she went to study in the UK alone, but was unfamiliar with the place and unable to integrate into the environment.

　"I won't comment on Crychik's affairs. If you want to revive Crychik, go ahead."

　"Of course, whether Xiaoxiang and Lixi agree or not is none of my business."

　Chihaya Aine really didn't want to continue to get involved in the CRYCHIC affair. She also knew the reason why Toyokawa Shoko quit CRYCHIC. If she continued to get involved, she would be a fool.

　"I will try my best. At least I am not the only one who misses CRYCHIC."

　"..."

　Aine didn't want to talk anymore. She was a nice person, why did she become so crazy when CRYCHIC was mentioned?

　Could it be that Toyokawa Shoko is really a succubus or something, bewitching everyone around her, but she herself doesn't feel anything?

　After chatting with Ms. Sushi, who possessed astonishing wisdom, Aine went to find another lady, Ms. Hatsuka, no... now she should be called Ms. Hatsune.

　As the illegitimate daughter of Toyokawa Sadaharu, she appeared at the Toyokawa family's banquet, and did so openly and without any concealment. This is no longer surprising. She is completely patronizing the Toyokawa family.

　But the people of the Toyokawa family had no objection at all, which made people wonder if the Toyokawa family was brainwashed and controlled by someone.

　Ms. Chuhua did not join the banquet. She and her blood father, the fallen Toyokawa Sadaharu, sat on the sidelines. None of the guests who came to visit the Toyokawa family today took the initiative to approach them.

　Everyone knows that the new head of the Toyokawa family is Miss Toyokawa Shoko. Some people who have inside information know the reason why Toyokawa Sadaharu stepped down and have determined that Toyokawa Nobuto has completely lost power.

　Today, the performance art of Toyokawa Ryuto and his illegitimate daughter sitting at the same table was also regarded by the guests as a "street lamp warning" of the Toyokawa family, which meant that even after he got off the stage, he would be dragged out and whipped alive.

　Aiyin didn't understand these unspoken rules, so she went straight to find Chuhua. They had just chatted at the banquet, so it would be okay to chat for a while now.

　"Chuhua, can you talk to me when you have time?"

　"This is Xiaoxiang's grandfather, your...father?"

　"Yes, he is Toyokawa Sadaharu, my father."

　Chuhua's expression remained calm, completely ignoring how ugly Fengchuan Laodeng's face was. There should be a limit to humiliating people, but when Chuhua thought of the suffering Xiaoxiang had endured in the past year, he felt that it was far from enough.

　"Then let's go to the side

　Let’s talk, Father, please be honest and don’t cause trouble for Xiaoxiang.”

　The warning from Ms. Hatsuka, although she is the illegitimate daughter of Toyokawa Sadaharu, at this moment she seems to be the real master of the Toyokawa family and will not allow Toyokawa Ryouto to go against her words.

　Arriving at the balcony where she had been chatting with Mori Minami before, Aine asked directly.

　"Chuhua, did Metis do something? I still remember the content of our last date conversation, what you told me."

　"None of this has anything to do with Aine. There's no need for outsiders to interfere in the affairs of the Toyokawa family. Isn't Xiaoxiang doing well now?"

　With an attitude completely different from the last meeting, Chuhua completely refused Chihaya Aine's intervention in the affairs of the Toyokawa family this time, which made Aine feel even more strange.

　"Why are you acting so strange, Chuhua? It must be something Metis did to you!"

　"No, not really. In fact, I have always been like this. The previous Sanjiao Chuhua was just a disguise for me."

　"After all, you don't know my name either. It's actually Hatsune, right?"

　Volume 1: 139. Ms. Chu Hua still follows her own desires

　The conversation could not go on. Sanjiao Chuhua's attitude became very strange. Although she had concealed the secret of her identity in the past, she would definitely not tell outsiders about the fact that she was the illegitimate daughter of the Toyokawa family.

　However, Chuhua used to be easy to talk to, at least that's what Aine thought. But now Chuhua is full of rejection towards her, and even a hint of hostility can be felt.

　What on earth was going on? It must have been that guy Metis who did something to Chuhua.

　Thinking of this possibility, Aine tentatively asked Sankaku Hatsuka.

　"Speaking of which, Chuhua, you've been at Toyokawa's house recently. Is Sumimi okay? Mana must be worried about you too."

　"Mana..."

　When Aine mentioned the name Junda Mana, Sankaku Hatsuka's expression was a little moved, but she quickly returned to her cold and indifferent attitude.

　"It's all fake. The reason I was able to debut as an idol and form Sumimi with Mana was all arranged by my father. I'm just a poor wretch who can't leave the Toyokawa family."

　"No! Mana is definitely willing to partner with you, Chuhua. Have you asked her what she thinks?"

　"There's no need, because it's meaningless."

　Mikado Hatsuka made a death sentence on his former belonging and the idol group Sumimi that he and Junda Mana formed.

　"After my illegitimate daughter status was exposed, it is no longer possible for me to continue my activities as an idol. Sumi is over."

　"How could this be... I was looking forward to the collaboration between M78 and Sumi, it was already agreed upon."

　"..."

　Ms. Sanjiao Chuhua fell silent. She suddenly felt that Sumimi could be saved, at least wait until the cooperation with the M78 band was over. The opportunity to perform on the same stage with Xiaoxiang was the only one that could not be missed.

　Ms. Chuhua, who was loyal to her desires, suddenly changed her mind.

　"I'll contact Mana and explain. After all, Sumi is an idol group founded by the agency, and we can't just end it suddenly."

　"If we don't complete the business cooperation with Tsuburaya Agency, it will cause trouble for Mana and the agency. At least Sumimi won't end soon."

　"..."

　Now it was Aine's turn to be silent. Ms. Chuhua's desires were really easy to understand. She had always felt that Chuhua had unusual feelings for Toyokawa Shoko, and now she was sure of it.

　"That's great. I'm looking forward to working with Sumimi."

　Hiding her awkwardness with an exaggerated smile and acting skills, Aiyin chatted with Chuhua for a few more words before finding an excuse to leave.

　"In the case of the Toyokawa family, it seems that Metis took advantage of Chuhua. Although we don't know what she did to Chuhua, everything is developing in a direction that is beneficial to Xiaoxiang. She must have used some supernatural power."

　Ms. Chuhua's feelings for Toyokawa Shoko are too heavy, and Aine is not a fool. Combining the situation when she first met Chuhua and her current words and reactions, she can basically infer what happened.

　"As expected, I still need to talk to Mefilas."

　Mefilas disguised himself as the Earthling "Eiji Tsuburaya", even though this evil alien said that he didn't like to waste time and focused on work efficiency.
