Girl idols are meant to be exploited!

Hoshikawa Taku placed his hands on Hiroi Kikuri's shoulders and asked in a serious tone: "Hiroi, why do you want to date me?"

"Is it because I'm on the same wavelength as you, and you're happy to be with me? I'll satisfy your need for wine, and you can get it from me for free, and have me as your drinking buddy who you can talk about anything?"

"If that's all, I'm sorry, but I won't meet your request. I don't want to be like you, living a life of drunkenness and debauchery every day."

"I don't want my girlfriend to live like this every day either."

Although she was ruthlessly rejected by Hoshikawa Taku, who also pointed out her terrible lifestyle.

However, Hiroi Kikuri felt a little happy.

Because, Hoshikawa Taku really likes her, and rejecting her is just rational.

She knows that her situation is terrible, but she just can't change herself - just like a worker who says he wants to go to bed early but still stays up late.

Hiroi Kikuri was silent for a long time, then suddenly raised her head and gently hooked Hoshikawa Taku's arm.

She asked seriously, "Xingchuan...if I can get over my alcohol addiction, will you date me?"

Hoshikawa Taku looked at her, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

"If you really can, I probably will."

Hearing this, Hiroi Kikuri's eyes lit up instantly, and she turned around excitedly as if she had won the lottery.

Then—she picked up the beer beside her and happily took another sip to celebrate.

When she came to her senses and saw Hoshikawa Taku's speechless expression, Hiroi Kikuri chuckled and put down the wine.

"By the way, Xingchuan, you just said that if I want to be with you for a long time, I need to stop drinking."

Hiroi Kikuri tilted her head, her eyes gleaming with a tipsy glint, and asked in an ambiguous and somewhat teasing tone, "What if... I just want to date you for a short period of time?"

Xingchuan Taku's mouth curled up into a smile, and he slowly said:

"Short-term dating, to put it bluntly, is a one-night stand relationship where we can comfort each other. I won't ask anything of you. Even if you drink every day, I won't stop you. I'll drink with you and satisfy each other's physical needs together."

Hiroi Kikuri was stunned for a moment. The alcohol made her thinking a little slow, but when she carefully chewed on what Hoshikawa Taku said, her eyes lit up slightly.

It sounds like... it's not impossible?

She pursed her lips thoughtfully, even feeling a little moved.

For her, this kind of relationship seems to be more in line with her current situation than "quitting drinking in exchange for love". She is not good at making promises about the future, but indulging in pleasure is her strong point.

"but……"

Hoshikawa Taku's voice dragged out a bit, a sly glint in his eyes, "This kind of relationship must be kept secret and cannot affect each other's normal lives. It can only be carried out in secret. Moreover, I will find a formal girlfriend to date."

Hiroi Kikuri frowned instantly and glared at him in dissatisfaction: "This kind of relationship... is it completely shameful?"

"Isn't that only natural? We've already said this is a temporary 'mutual comfort' relationship, wouldn't it be rude to step into each other's lives?"

Hoshikawa Takuru lifted Hiroi's chin in a teasing manner, and touched her slightly warm skin with his cool fingertips, with a hint of temptation, "How about it? If you choose this kind of life, I can accept it. I will also give you a large living allowance every month."

Hiroi Kikuri's head suddenly exploded with a buzzing sound.

Wait, wait a minute—isn't this the equivalent of "keeping a mistress"?!

No, this is simply keeping someone!

Once she agreed to this kind of relationship, it would be like a pure money transaction between her and Taku Hoshikawa!

She could only live in the shadows, becoming Hoshikawa Taku's underground lover, meeting him secretly, and witnessing from a distance as Hoshikawa Taku openly kissed and smooched with other girls...

"I want more than just that!"

Hiroi Kikuri slapped Hoshikawa Taku's hand away, her eyes determined, "I want to be with you openly! I want to let Shima and the others know that I can find a boyfriend too!"

Hoshikawa Taku blinked lightly, then curled up a satisfied smile and withdrew his teasing hand.

"Well, I look forward to your transformation."

Hoshikawa Taku was not disappointed; on the contrary, he was very satisfied with the answer.

He didn't want to actually see Hiroi Kikuri die suddenly from drinking at such a young age.

If she can find motivation to change herself because of this incident, it may not be a bad thing for her.

"Xingchuan..."

After a moment, Hiroi Kikuri suddenly raised her head, her voice softened, her eyes flickering, "So what is our relationship now?"

"We're just good friends, what else could it be?"

Looking at Hiroi's hesitant and excited expression, Hoshikawa Taku understood a little and smiled mischievously, "Could it be that... you want to experience what it's like to be together first? Then I won't be polite at all."

As Hoshikawa Taku said this, he reached out and pulled Hiroi Kikuri into his arms, then his fingers began to tentatively stroke the back of her neck and her waist.

Hiroi Kikuri did not refuse, she even closed her eyes, breathed slightly, and subconsciously shrank into his arms.

This was already an invitation for Taku Hoshikawa, so he boldly began to stroke downwards with his fingers.

But when Taku Hoshikawa's fingers moved deeper along her waist, Kikuri Hiroi suddenly came to her senses, her cheeks flushed red, her breathing became rapid, and she raised her hand and pushed him away.

"don't want……"

She gasped, her voice trembling slightly, "Not now… I'm afraid I'll get addicted to something again."

Her legs were even a little weak and she could hardly stand. She could only hold on to the wall to regulate her breathing.

The next second, Hiroi Kikuri turned around abruptly, rushed to the bathroom, opened the door, and shouted without looking back: "Let me use the bathroom! I need to calm down for a while!"

The bathroom door slammed shut, and Taku Hoshikawa, who remained where he was, chuckled lightly, a look of regret on his face.

Unexpectedly, Hiroi still had some willpower. Hoshikawa Taku originally thought that she would obey him reluctantly under the influence of alcohol.

It seems that she is really serious about "wanting to have an open relationship with herself", and she can even resist experiencing something else that may become "addictive".

Then let him see how far she can go.

……

Ps: It’s not that I’m delaying the plot and don’t want to get started. If I want to start a harem reasonably, I need to find various opportunities.

The time when Hiroi Kikuri really decided to change was when she was "betrayed" by her friends, lost everything, and came to Hoshikawa Taku in despair to ask her to "forget everything."

It won’t be long after the music festival plot ends.

Look forward to it.

Chapter 164: The united front also has secrets.

On the day of the music festival, all the musical instruments and equipment needed for Iwashita Shimahjong's performance were loaded into a borrowed van, and he drove to the music festival with Shimizu Elisa and the late-arriving Hiroi Kikuri.

What surprised Iwashita Shima was that this time, Kikuri Hiroi, who was sitting in the passenger seat, did not drink a drop of alcohol the entire time.

Not only that, there was an uncontrollable smile on the corner of his mouth, and he was humming an unknown tune softly, as if something good had happened.

You know, Hiroi Kikuri is a person who is always extremely pessimistic when she is sober. Her mind is always full of problems such as "debt", "marriage", "employment" and "aging population", which are suffocating her.

In order to escape reality, she would choose to numb her nerves by drinking.

I haven't seen her so happy when she's sober in a long time.

Iwashita Shima gripped the steering wheel tightly, unable to help but raise an eyebrow and asked, "Kiri, what good thing makes you so happy?"

Hiroi Kikuri raised the corner of her lips and shook her head mysteriously: "Hehe... guess."

"Stop keeping me in suspense and tell me."

"All I can tell you is that I might be about to solve a major problem that will affect my life!"

The smile on her face deepened, and a hint of pride flashed in her eyes.

"what exactly is it?"

"I can't tell you now, it's a secret!"

Hiroi drew out his tone, deliberately keeping the question in suspense, with an expression that said, "Come and ask me this question soon."

This guy... he deserves a beating just as much when he's sober as when he's drunk.

Iwashita Shima rolled his eyes speechlessly, too lazy to ask any further questions.

The van drove all the way to the backstage area of ​​the festival and allowed smooth entry after the performers presented their ID cards.

After parking, Iwashita Shima, Shimizu Elisa and Hiroi Kikuri got out of the car and, under the guidance of the staff, came to their temporary rest tent.

It's not even noon yet, and there are still seven or eight hours until their performance, so there's plenty of time.

While packing his belongings, Iwashita Shima suggested, "Kirie, Eliza, let's go out for a walk. Maybe we'll run into someone we know."

As soon as she finished speaking, she looked up and found that there was one person missing in the tent.

"Huh? Where's Kikuri?"

Eliza pointed outside and said, "Isn't that it?"

Iwashita Shima followed her gaze and saw a familiar figure outside the tent - Hiroi Kikuri was standing at the door, excitedly greeting someone.

And that person was none other than Taku Hoshikawa.

Iwashita Shima narrowed his eyes and observed Hiroi Kikuri's expression.

She couldn't help but glance at Taku Hoshikawa, and the joy in her eyes was unconcealable, like a kitten who had found its favorite toy.

So that's why... No wonder she is so happy today.

"It seems that Kikuri really likes Mr. Hoshikawa..."

Eliza sighed, "I never thought that she, who was always in a daze, would one day fall in love with someone else."

Although Hiroi Kikuri tried her best to cover it up, how could she hide it from Iwashita Shima and Shimizu Elisa, her two teammates who spent every day with her?

During these two weeks of practice, they could almost conclude that Hiroi Kikuri was "trapped".

Iwashita Shima was a little worried.

She walked over to Eliza and whispered in a low voice, "Eliza, I've told you before that Mr. Xingchuan actually likes Sister Xingge. And yesterday, I heard from a friend that Sister Xingge and Xingchuan Taku were dating here..."

"Yeah, I heard that too."

Both of them have wider connections than Hiroi Kikuri, so they naturally won't miss any news circulating in the circle.

"When you first told me that, I was a little bit skeptical, but now it seems that this matter has been confirmed."

Shimizu Elisa scratched her head and asked in confusion, "Doesn't Hiroi know about this? How can she still greet Hoshikawa Taku with such a smile on her face?"

"Did she let it go?"

"If she let it go, then what's with that joyful anticipation in her eyes?"

The two of them were gossiping, but couldn't come to any conclusion.

Just at this time, Takuya Hoshikawa walked into the tent and greeted them. They quickly pulled Takuya Hoshikawa over and asked curiously if he and Sister Xingge were on a date.

Hoshikawa Taku didn't hide it and nodded in acknowledgement.

"Well, I invited Xingge yesterday and asked her to help me look for some girls with potential in bands."

"Then you two..."

"We're not dating."

Xingchuan Taku knew what she wanted to say, shook his head, and said with pretended regret, "Yesterday we only talked about work, not personal matters."

Iwashita Shima suddenly realized, "Kiruri is so happy, could it be because she found out about this?"

"Well, she asked me in person yesterday, and I explained our relationship to her."

Hoshikawa Taku lied without batting an eyelid and completely fooled the two girls.

Although Taku Hoshikawa and the two of them are on the same page and want Hiroi Kikuri to quit drinking, if they knew that Taku Hoshikawa's method was "playing two games at the same time", they would probably be so angry that they would "expose" Taku Hoshikawa.

Even if they are allies, they cannot know too much.

Iwashita Shima and Eliza didn't think much about it and quickly accepted this reasonable explanation.

After exchanging a few pleasantries with them, Taku Hoshikawa returned to the rest area of ​​the Extension Line band.

In the tent, Xiaozhi, Lupa, Aine, Meowth and Pochi were all present.

Last night, Kikuri Hiroi slept in the guest room of Taku Hoshikawa's apartment. After getting up in the morning, Taku Hoshikawa sent her to find her teammates, while he went to the office and took a business car to the music festival with the girls in the band.

Hoshikawa Taku clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention.
