Girl idols are meant to be exploited!

His tone was calm and rational, even with a hint of helplessness as if to say, "What does this have to do with me? I'm just an unlucky guy forced to clean up the mess." This made Shima on the other end of the phone stunned.

Hoshikawa Taku said it so frankly that Shima apologized repeatedly with embarrassment and guilt.

"I'm so sorry to have caused you trouble! Hiroki always does things like this that make people worry. I misunderstood you just now, please don't mind it!"

Hoshikawa Taku said magnanimously, "It's okay. Ignorance is not a crime. You're just concerned about Hiroi. She must have caused you a lot of trouble on a daily basis. You've worked hard to clean up her mess."

Shima was deeply moved and didn't expect that Hoshikawa Taku would sympathize with him.

She seemed to have found a comrade, her tone tinged with bitterness: "That's right! This girl is drunk all day long and still wants to perform on stage. Several of our performances have been ruined because of her drunken mistakes. Every time, I have to clean up her mess and apologize to others, but she doesn't reflect on herself at all!"

Hoshikawa Taku also said, "Yeah, this girl is really troublesome. She spends all her money on alcohol. She doesn't care that her living place is a mess. She even buys alcohol when she can't afford to eat. Her ability to live is worrying. I'm really worried that one day she'll die from alcoholism."

As the two talked, the conversation became more and more heated. They both took Hiroi Kikuri as the target of their complaints and mercilessly talked about her bad deeds one after another.

While they were complaining, the hands-free mode was on and Hiroi could hear every word clearly.

At first, Hiroi Kikuri was leisurely enjoying the hot water, but as she listened, her expression gradually became ugly.

"..."

"..."

“…That’s enough, you guys!”

Even the thick-skinned Hiroi Kikuri couldn't stand it anymore. The bathroom door was suddenly opened, and Hiroi Kikuri rushed out with wet hair and unwiped water droplets on her face, wrapped in a bath towel.

She quickly walked up to Taku Hoshikawa, snatched the phone from him, and pressed the hang-up button hard.

Then she put her hands on her hips and looked at Hoshikawa Taku with an unhappy face: "You guys seem to be having a good time chatting, right? How could I be as exaggerated as you say!?"

"Don't you have any idea?"

Hoshikawa Taku mercilessly exposed her, "If you dare to promise not to drink alcohol for the next month, I will take back what I just said."

Hiroi Kikuri: "..."

She was silent for a second, then quickly changed the subject: "Oh, it's so cold, I'm going to blow dry my hair first!"

After saying that, she fled back to the bathroom.

However, for Hiroi Kikuri, the embarrassment only lasted for a short while.

After drying her hair and throwing her clothes into the washing machine, she walked into the living room as if nothing had happened, opened the refrigerator, took out the half-finished bottle of beer, and drank it in one gulp.

"Great! As expected, I have to drink beer after taking a shower!"

Hiroi Kikuri put her hands on her hips, looking very happy.

She completely ignored Taku Hoshikawa's eye roll, sat down next to Taku Hoshikawa with a smile, and patted the sofa under her butt.

So big and soft.

This is much better than the hard wooden bed she usually sleeps on.

She remembered that when she first came in, Taku Hoshikawa said that there were no other tenants here and he lived alone. Hiroi Kikuri suddenly became interested.

If only she could live here too!

"Xingchuan, your place is really nice. It has such a big bathroom and a washing machine with dryer. Don't you feel lonely living here alone? Do you want a roommate?"

Kikuri Hiroi approached Taku Hoshikawa and started to make crazy suggestions.

Chapter 70: The two people are drifting apart.

Hoshikawa Taku was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Hiroi Kikuri would suddenly ask to live in his house.

He turned to look at Hiroi Kikuri. She was only wrapped in a bath towel, with large areas of snow-white skin exposed. She sat casually on the sofa, shaking the beer in her hand, and her posture inadvertently revealed a hint of lazy charm.

The blush on her face made her facial features look particularly soft, and there was a hint of subtle teasing in her eyes.

After taking a shower, the unpleasant smell of alcohol on her body had long been washed away, leaving only a faint aroma of beer mixed with the fresh breath left after the shower, which actually had a slightly disturbing smell.

Her body language was unguarded, perhaps due to the intoxication, or perhaps simply her personality, freely displaying her gestures. But it was precisely this unforced relaxation that gave her a certain intoxicating allure.

Hoshikawa Taku had to admit that he was moved at that moment.

No matter what, Hiroi Kikuri is still a beautiful girl. If she lives in my house, with her carefree personality, as long as I take the initiative a little, I'm afraid sparks will fly between us soon.

And even if nothing happens, just thinking about having a beautiful girl hanging around your house every day is pleasing to the eye.

Hoshikawa Taku almost agreed.

But his reason quickly suppressed the impulse.

Hoshikawa Taku forced himself to calm down and thought carefully about the consequences he would face if he let Hiroi Kikuri live in the house.

Hiroi is a drunkard who is addicted to alcohol. As long as she lives here, she will drink endlessly every day and make the whole apartment a mess.

And in the end, the only one who has to clean up the mess for her is herself.

She got drunk and vomited in the middle of the night, and I had to endure the smell to help her clean up. I even had to worry about whether she would die suddenly in her own home from alcoholism.

By then, I will probably regret it in less than three days.

If he were to find a roommate, he would rather find a drinking buddy like Lupa who is worry-free and at least won't make him worry too much.

As for Hiroi Kikuri, her current state... is only suitable for being the object of occasional one-night indulgence.

"Xingchuan, how is it?"

Hiroi Kikuri smiled again and looked at him with blinking eyes, "How about letting me be your roommate?"

After thinking it over, Hoshikawa Taku refused without hesitation: "No."

Hiroi Kikuri's eyes widened immediately. She didn't expect to be rejected directly.

"why is it like this!?"

She complained unhappily, "I'm a beautiful girl! Don't you really want to consider this? Waking up every day to have a beautiful woman hanging around your house, drinking with you, this is what so many people dream of!"

Hiroi's tone was a bit coquettish, with a hint of tentative ambiguity.

She found that they got along very well when they were drinking, their interests and hobbies also overlapped, and Taku Hoshikawa was willing to buy her a drink - in her standards, this was enough to make Taku Hoshikawa a "good man".

Alcohol can make people take off their disguises, and many words are the truest thoughts in their subconscious mind.

Hiroi's proposal of "living together" means that she has some feelings for Hoshikawa Taku and is willing to develop the relationship further with him.

But Hoshikawa Taku's answer was still indifferent.

"I don't want a drunk hanging around my house every day."

He said mercilessly, "If you want to stay, it's not impossible, but you must stop drinking within a specified period of time, and the amount of alcohol you drink cannot exceed one liter per day."

"One liter!?"

Hiroi Kikuri's eyes widened in disbelief. "Are you kidding me? One liter is only a little bit. It's not enough to drink. It should be at least three liters!"

"Did you drink wine as if it were water?"

Hoshikawa Taku couldn't help but frown, "Have you ever had a physical examination? With the way you drink, it's easy to get alcohol poisoning, gastric perforation, or even cirrhosis of the liver."

Hiroi Kikuri was stunned for a moment, her expression hesitant for a second, then she curled her lips: "...I haven't gone to check it out."

"why are you not going?"

"If I don't get checked, I can still deceive myself that there's nothing wrong with my body and continue drinking happily."

Hiroi Kikuri muttered, "If it turns out there's a problem, I won't be able to quit. Then won't I just be drinking with guilt?"

As long as he doesn't go for a check-up, he will just pretend that he has no disease. This guy is too optimistic!

The vein on Hoshikawa Taku's forehead twitched, and he was too lazy to complain about her logic.

"Can't you just stop drinking?"

Xingchuan Taku said in a deep voice.

"No, I really can't live without alcohol!"

Looking at her eloquent words, Xingchuan Taku sighed speechlessly.

Hiroi Kikuri does have a good personality and good looks, and it's quite pleasant to get along with her.

But her shortcomings are so obvious that if she becomes his girlfriend, he will only get worry and hard work.

Only when she has curbed her alcoholism a little, will I consider her.

Otherwise, Hoshikawa Taku was really worried that he and she would wake up after a night of indulgence, and what they would see the next morning would be her cold corpse.

Having already had this "precedent", Taku Hoshikawa didn't want Kikuri Hiroi to follow in his footsteps.

If possible, Hoshikawa Takuma really wanted to help her quit drinking, or at least reduce her dependence on alcohol.

"Then there's no way I'll let you live in my house. What if you suddenly die in my house? How am I going to explain it to the police? I might even be charged with murder."

Hoshikawa Taku said with a straight face and expressionless face.

"why is it like this!?"

Hiroi Kikuri let out a wail, clutching Hoshikawa Taku's shoulders and begging, "Can I stay here for at least one night? You won't let a little girl like me walk alone in the middle of the night, will you?!"

Hoshikawa Taku looked at her and finally compromised: "...It's okay tonight, but don't think about it tomorrow."

"Great!"

Hiroi Kikuri immediately cheered, not caring about what would happen tomorrow at all, just living one day at a time.

She skipped to the refrigerator again, took out two bottles of beer, shook them at Xingchuan Taku, and smiled slyly: "Xingchuan, it would be boring for me to drink alone, let's drink together!"

Hoshikawa Taku looked at her speechlessly, wanting to refuse, but finally reached out to take the beer.

Forget it... Let's just indulge ourselves a bit with this drunkard today.

Taku Hoshikawa and Kikuri Hiroi reached a temporary compromise, and at this time another drinking buddy Lupa had also arrived at the door.

I came back so late today, Xiaozhi should have gone to bed a long time ago, right?

Lupa opened the door carefully, but saw that Xiaozhi was not in the bedroom. Instead, he was still sitting in front of his electronic keyboard, trying to compose music with headphones on.

Noticing the movement, Xiaozhi slowly took off his headphones and looked at her with a complicated expression: "Lupa... why did you come back just now?"

"My manager and I were drinking with a guest, so we were a little late."

Lupa explained and asked worriedly, "Xiaozhi, it's late now, why aren't you sleeping yet?"

"I'm worried about you. I can't sleep until you come back."

Ash narrowed his eyes at Lupa.

At this moment, Lupa's face had a slightly drunken blush. The effect of alcohol made her eyebrows and eyes look more lazy. Her slightly messy hair fell on her shoulders, with a hint of feminine charm.

She stood at the door, her steps a little unsteady, her body swaying slightly. Even though Xiaozhi was a girl, he had to admit that Lupa looked very seductive at this moment.

Xiaozhi stared at her for a few seconds, his tone suddenly becoming sharp: "You accompanied the manager to drink, but did you just drink and not do anything else? Did he force you to do anything?"

Xiaozhi had a very good impression of Taku Hoshikawa. He took her to meet her idol, Master Sakamoto, and gave her a good job. However, it was hard for her not to think in a bad way when she asked Lupa to "socialize" so late at night.

Lupa was stunned for a moment, then realized what Xiaozhi meant and quickly waved his hands: "Of course! We just drank! Then we went to KTV to sing, that's it, we didn't do anything else!"

But Xiaozhi didn't relent because of her explanation. Instead, he frowned slightly and said in a colder tone: "Really? Are you sure?"

Lupa felt a little guilty under her scrutinizing gaze, but she knew what Xiaozhi was worried about, so she simply smiled and said casually, "Really? The person I'm socializing with is a girl, you don't have to worry!"

Xiaozhi was silent for a few seconds. Based on his understanding of Lupa over the years, he concluded that she was not lying, and then he relaxed slightly.

But even so, her face still didn't look good.

Nothing happened this time, but what about next? Will something bad happen?

Lupa didn't come back until the early morning today. Will he stay out all night in the future?

This is not a slippery slope theory, but something that can be expected to happen in the future.

"...Can you go to fewer social events in the future?"

Xiaozhi couldn't help but speak, his voice carrying a barely perceptible hint of annoyance.

"Eh?"

Lupa was stunned. "But this is also part of the job..."

"I know."

Xiaozhi bit his lip, "But at least, can you come back sooner?"
