Do you like humans that much, Chihaya Aine?

　"If you're happy, then overcome the difficulties. It wouldn't be cool to quit the band just because of this setback."

　"I understand. I will keep working hard!"

　Encouraged by Aine, the soft and sticky Xiaoxiang became a little tougher. She is the head of the family now, and there is no reason for her to listen to the old antiques in the family telling her what to do. She has to find a way to become a Kami!

　Volume 1: 149. Only the drummers didn't know what happened

　Two days before the weekend, at Hanasakigawa Academy, Shiina Riki looked in surprise at a classmate who had not come to school for several days.

　"Chuhua, has the Fengchuan family's matter been resolved?"

　"That's right..."

　Ms. Chuhua gave an awkward smile. She obviously didn't want to talk too much about the Fengchuan family, so Ms. Chuhua took the initiative to ask Lixi.

　"Let's not talk about my own affairs. How is the M78 band doing recently?"

　"M78 band... Aine has something important to do, so M78 will be on hiatus for a while."

　"Huh? How could that be?!"

　Ms. Chuhua was very surprised. She was thinking of returning to Sumimi to restart her activities, so that she could cooperate with the M78 band and stand on the stage with Xiaoxiang. Why did something go wrong with the M78 band?

　"Chihaya Aine, is there something you're busy with?"

　"She joined the Earth Defense Force. It seems like she's on some secret mission."

　"what?"

　Even Ms. Chuhua couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. How come after just two or three days, even Chihaya Aine has joined the Earth Defense Force? Is it not only girl bands that are popular now, but also high school girls protecting the world?

　"Don't worry too much about that guy. Chuhua, you haven't been involved in idol activities for such a long time. Will there be any problems with Sumi?"

　"It doesn't matter at the office, because the Toyokawa family will take care of everything."

　When Chu Hua said this, her expression was both lonely and funny. She didn't know why she had such an expression.

　Seeing this, Li Xi didn't know what to say anymore, so he decided to just pretend to be deaf and dumb.

　"It's just right, should I practice drumming during this time?"

　"what?"

　Seeing Hailing holding a bottle of milk drink and placing it in front of him, a question mark popped up in Lixi's head. What is Hailing talking about?

　"You've always felt that your drumming skills are lagging behind, so why not take advantage of this time to practice and improve your skills?"

　"I understand the logic, but aren't you a bassist, Hailing?"

　"Miao Meng is a drummer, and she's very skilled. She's going to practice drums with Sato Masuki from RAS soon, so why don't you come along?"

　"Hmm? When?"

　The drum player was a little tempted. It was a fact that her drumming skills could not keep up with the level of the band members. If she had the opportunity to improve her skills, it would be right for her to practice.

　"Let's do it in two days, the weekend. Everyone will have time then."

　"Row."

　Lixi nodded in agreement. Since the M78 band stopped its activities, she should do something meaningful. She couldn't just stand still.

　Seeing the two members of the M78 band getting along so harmoniously, Ms. Chu Hua felt a little jealous.

　"Did Xiaoxiang also get along with you guys like this when she was in the M78 band..."

　"what are you saying?"

　Li Xi didn't understand what Ms. Chu Hua said at all. It would be a miracle if a normal person could understand it.

　"No, it's nothing..."

　Sanjiao Chuhua shook her head and pretended that she had never said anything.

　Sankaku Hatsuka, the illegitimate daughter of Toyokawa Sadaharu, was accepted into the Toyokawa family as a member of a non-family because she revealed her identity and exposed Toyokawa Roden's betrayal of the Toyokawa family.

　Although she does not enjoy any inheritance rights from the Toyokawa family, the resources of the Toyokawa family will be available to her, and she will not have to worry about a life of luxury for the rest of her life.

　For a large family, it is very important to clearly distinguish between rewards and punishments. This is the foundation and system that keeps the family standing.

　Therefore, Ms. Chuhua inexplicably became a freeloader for the Fengchuan family. As for the truth, who would know?

　"Chuhua, you did very well."

　Ms. Chuhua and Wakaba Mu met in a cafe outside the Moon Forest. It was obvious that the little Mu was not Mu himself, but Metis.

　"All this is for Xiaoxiang. As long as it's for Xiaoxiang, I'm willing to do anything."

　Ms. Chu Hua is anxious and can only use this excuse to comfort and numb herself. As long as it is for Xiaoxiang, she is willing to become the tragic heroine on the stage.

　"Don't worry or be afraid, we are all doing this for Xiaoxiang."

　"But I'm having a little trouble right now, so I'd like to ask Chuhua for a favor."

　"My Lord God, please give me your orders."

　The devout Ms. Chuhua and the satisfied Metis, she was right about the person. The twisted darkness hidden in the heart of Triangle Chuhua... no, Triangle Hatsune is really shocking.

　Since it's all for Toyokawa Shoko, Ms. Chuhua should just let the God use her willingly.

　.....

　"Xiao Mu? Hey, that person is..."

　When Mutsushi Wakaba and Hatsuka Sanka came out of the cafe, they were spotted together by a Ms. Motoyo Nagasaki who was passing by.

　Su Shi originally wanted to walk up and greet Wakaba Mu, but when she noticed that a smile that was completely different from his own appeared on Mu's face, Ms. Su Shi stopped.

　Afterwards, Ms. Su Shi pretended not to see anything, turned around and left.

　Metis had already captured Su Shi's departing figure, but Metis didn't care. Nagasaki Su Shi... Xiao Mu also liked her very much.

　Theoretically speaking, Wakaba Mutsu is the daughter of Mori Minami. She is the cousin of Toyokawa Shoko, and she is also related to Sankaku Hatsuka through Toyokawa Roto.

　Therefore, it was not surprising for Su Shi to see Ruoye Mu and Sanjiao Chuhua appear together, but unfortunately, Ms. Su Shi knew a lot of things and she knew everything about the two Mus.

　"Metis..."

　Su Shi thought about it and decided to send a message to Toyokawa Xiangzi. After all, Su Shi couldn't turn a blind eye to this, so she still had to tell Xiaoxiang about it.

　Soon, Toyokawa Shoko received a message from Su Shi. At first, she was very happy to see Su Shi sending her a greeting message.

　After customer service Xiaoxiang became the head of the household, he felt that life had become much better. Is this the power of Maybach? In short, Xiangzi and Sushi have been communicating normally now.

　But after seeing the message that Su Shi gave her, the expression on Toyokawa Shoko's face suddenly darkened.

　Sure enough, there was a problem. Xiangzi had always felt that the Toyokawa family had become strange recently. It couldn't be said to be strange, but the fact that he became the head of the family was really too much of a joke.

　Even though Toyokawa Shoko had the undisputed legitimate right of inheritance, it was not an easy thing for her to become the head of the Toyokawa family at the age of fifteen, even if it was a puppet head.

　"What on earth is going on..."

　The smile on Shoko Toyokawa's face disappeared, and she decided to investigate the matter thoroughly.

　Volume 1: 150. Pre-war Mobilization Preparations

　With one day left until the weekend, at Haneda School, Chihaya Aine, Takamatsu Tomo, and Toyokawa Shoko are still ordinary high school girls passing by.

　"Xiaoxiang, come and eat lunch together."

　"Eh eh eh?!"

　The soft and sticky Xiao Xiang was totally at a loss. She was dragged by Aine into the astronomy club activity room. Looking at the lamp that made a large space for the three of them to eat lunch together, Xiangzi said embarrassedly.

　"Sorry...I didn't prepare a lunch."

　"Hehe~ Of course I thought of that. How could a rich girl eat a bento? I prepared an extra one."

　Aine took out two lunch boxes. How could she fight an unprepared battle?

　Seeing that Aine was so prepared, Xiangzi simply accepted her kindness and sat down to eat the lunch box together.

　"Actually, I also eat bento, the kind you buy at a discount in the supermarket. In the past year, I've eaten a lot of bento to fill my stomach."

　"Oh, right. Forget that, Xiaoxiang, you've had a very hard time in the past year."

　After learning about Toyokawa Shoko's specific situation, Aine no longer said things like Teacher Daisho had to endure the hardship, she just said it in her heart.

　"Aine, why did you want to drag me along to eat your lunch today?"

　"We're members of the same band, so it's not strange to eat lunch together and bond with each other."

　"I'm sorry, I forgot that."

　I don’t know if it’s because he’s gotten used to being a hedgehog in the past year, but the soft and tender Xiaoxiang has forgotten to let go of his defensive posture. Although the thorns on his body are not enough to prick people, he always feels out of tune with others.

　"Xiaoxiang, this is for you."

　The thoughtful Deng Takamatsu took out a piece of fish dumpling from his lunch box and gave it to Toyokawa Shoko, regardless of whether Teacher Shoko liked it or not, because it was Deng's favorite food anyway.

　"Thank you, Lantern."

　The only thing she couldn't refuse was Deng's kindness, so she chose to accept the soft and sticky Xiaoxiang who was being fed. Aiyin nodded in satisfaction.

　"This is the normal daily life of a normal high school girl."

　"What's wrong, Aine? You suddenly said something like that."

　"Look, didn't Deng and I join the Earth Defense Force? Because we were attacked by aliens, it feels like our daily lives are getting further and further away from us."

　"Indeed it is..."

　Toyokawa Shoko couldn't help but nodded in agreement. Not only with Aine and Deng, but the situation in the Toyokawa family was obviously very wrong. Shoko now had to find a way to start an investigation.

　"By the way, something big might happen tomorrow, Xiaoxiang, you'd better stay home and don't run around."

　Aine suddenly remembered something. Although she didn't know the specific situation tomorrow, she still wanted to tell the people around her to stay in a safe place as much as possible tomorrow, because no one knew what would happen.

　"Tomorrow...what are you guys going to do?"

　"You'll know tomorrow, Xiaoxiang. Don't be surprised then."

　"Okay...I got it."

　Now no matter what happens, Teacher Daxiang feels that she will not be too surprised. After all, Sanjiao Chuhua is Sanjiao Hatsune, and she is also her aunt. She can't turn into a monster.

　After the three-person lunch was finished at noon, Yuqiu finished school at around three o'clock in the afternoon as usual. Aine and Deng, who left school early today, got into the car driven by the black-clad man from the Genmaki family and headed straight for the Earth Defense Force base.

　"You've arrived just in time, Captain Aine, Captain Tou, come and meet all the members of our Earth Defense Force."

　"Huh? So there are more than five of us?"

　Aine was surprised. Regarding the Earth Defense Force established by the eldest daughter of the Genmaki family, there are only five official members, excluding the black-clad men of the Genmaki family who are responsible for assisting with the (main) work.

　Captain Shin Genmaki, Michelle's pilot Misaki Ozawa, Uindam's pilot Chihaya Aine, Aire King's breeder Deng Takamatsu, and technical advisor Metron.

　Also, as the leader of the HHY band, Michelle (Misaki) is the only one willing to accompany the idiot Kokoro in his mischief. The other three have their own things to do.

　"Of course there are more than five of us. In fact, there are six of us in the Earth Defense Force!"

　“Oh~~ (Aine claps), then who is the sixth person?”

　"Hehe! Of course it's KSM."

　"Um... Kasumi-senpai didn't seem to join the Earth Defense Force, and she has a part-time job to do."

　Aine couldn't help but grumble, "When did KSM-senpai join the Earth Defense Force? Perhaps even she herself didn't know."

　"This kind of thing is not important. KSM will join our Earth Defense Force sooner or later anyway, because she always encounters some strange things."

　"Eh? Really?!"

　Aine was surprised. Could it be that KSM senior also has a hidden monster physique that attracts all kinds of monsters and aliens to gather around her?

　"Of course, KSM said she once met a

　A talking giraffe, and invited her to participate in some stage opera or something."

　"But we're in a band, and we have no idea about opera, so she refused."

　“I don’t know where to start complaining anymore…”

　Aine, feeling tired, thought she was just listening to an urban horror story. After all, aliens and monsters appeared, so ghosts and talking giraffes seemed acceptable.

　"Now, let's get back to business. Team Aine, Team Tomo, let's make our final preparations. Who knows, tomorrow might be a tough battle."

　"Roger that!"

　Team member Aine saluted solemnly, she couldn't be careless about what would happen tomorrow.
