Mygo, the band legend of Tokyo handsome guy

"Ah Liang~ Good afternoon!"

Eliza Shimizu is incredibly outgoing, even nine out of ten, and she's very adept at making friends with people.

A relaxed and carefree smile, completely unrestrained. That's probably the kind of person described.

Yamada Ryo wasn't quite used to it and frowned slightly.

Has my box been opened again?

This guy, how come he just casually dribbles the ball and creates chances?

So, in his inner notebook, Yamada Ryo wrote down the second thing he hated besides scumbags, which was related to Shimizu Eliza.

Now Yamada Ryo has two annoying things. These incredibly large breasts that can shake one's heart, and a scumbag boyfriend who can't even resist large breasts.

Naruzawa Kaede skillfully operated the computer while keeping an eye on Shimizu Eliza's progress.

Eliza Shimizu pulled Ryo Yamada towards them, looking at the screen curiously: "Kaze-chan, what game are you playing?"

With her outgoing personality and Naruzawa Kaede's subtle hints, Shimizu Eliza felt no pressure and treated this place as her home.

"Xiao Liang, do you think Maple Sauce can win?" Shimizu Eliza asked.

Yamada Ryo looked at the screen and said, "Probably not. Some games weren't designed for you to complete them, since the later parts haven't even been made yet."

Eliza Shimizu: "What do you think, Maple-chan?"

"I think you shouldn't have brought me here if you hadn't said anything."

Winning or losing a game is not important.

The outcome of the two games is not important.

I just don't believe it!

The outcome of the three matches is not important.

"..."

It wasn't until Shimizu Eliza and Yamada Ryo were defeated together in these stages that Narusawa Kaede finally confirmed—

If you can't beat them, it's really not your fault.

However... although we've never fought.

But the purpose of a game, and the purpose of life, is not to complete the game.

With one more person, the internet cafe was noticeably more lively this afternoon. Eliza Shimizu's smile brought a lot of joy to the place, and it worked quite well.

Looking at Liang's current appearance, Mingze Feng quietly thought to himself...

Chapter Twenty-Seven: Yamada's Father Changes His Attitude?

Yamada Ryo and Shimizu Eliza got along well. Leaving the two of them in the room, Narusawa Kaede left the internet cafe and headed towards the meeting place with Tsuzuki Shisen. On the way, he dialed Hiroi Kikuri's number to inquire about Iwashita Shima's situation.

"Huh? She's playing video games, obsessed with rhythm games, and she beats No Miss."

"All this 'sadness' is fake. This guy—he's just upset because he lost a game. He's so unreliable," Hiroi Kikuri replied casually. "To be honest, whatever. There's nothing to worry about—ha—I didn't drink since you weren't around. I just ate something."

"Let me tell you, Shima has been playing all afternoon and is still going. She hasn't even eaten. Anime is terrifying—"

Mingze Feng: "Don't make sweeping generalizations, buddy."

The call was abruptly ended, clearly indicating that there was no need for further effort on the other end.

Ming Zefeng put away his phone, got out of the car, and his destination was just around the corner.

It was an office, and although Shifune Tsuzuki had long since retired, he still had a nominal position there. To be able to see her twice in one day was simply unusual.

After all, they rarely see each other on a regular basis, and any news is usually relayed through intermediaries. It's said he would still make appearances a few years ago, but with the first batch of Bang Dream project members about to graduate, this elderly man has been appearing less frequently.

The midday sun is high in the sky. Winter is approaching, and the temperature fluctuates. But today it is unexpectedly warm.

The sun feels warm on my skin, not painful.

The people who were supposed to meet Ming Zefeng were already there at the foot of the office building, which was more than ten stories high.

The person who came to pick up Mingze Feng was someone he knew.

"Boss Tsuzuki is talking to another guest, but she instructed that when you arrive, she will take you directly to the reception room, as someone wants to see you."

The drummer I performed on the same stage with... I'm sorry, Naruzawa Kaede has forgotten her name. Fortunately, she didn't try to get close to me; she just brought Naruzawa Kaede into the company in a businesslike manner.

In front of the reception room on the seventh floor, Yamato Maya pointed to the room.

"The boss said you can ask for whatever price you want, it's rare to find an investor with money. Whatever your requirements, you either have to come out or you have to pay."

She paused, then added, "I have some things to take care of here. Please call me anytime."

The girl left after saying that, and hurriedly left with the walkie-talkie.

Watching her hurried figure, Mingze Feng suddenly felt that the firm seemed to be unable to do without her.

These are probably the frontline employees of major arteries.

However, it's easy to rip off a rip-off... and when it comes to money, the more the better.

Something feels off about the art style...

Pushing open the frosted glass door, the people inside and outside met each other's eyes.

Upon seeing the middle-aged man sitting in the room, Mingze Feng's expression instantly froze.

Mingze Feng quickly closed the door, staring at the frosted glass in front of him, his usually sharp mind suddenly went blank.

Father Yamada? !

"..."

Father Yamada...

What are you doing here?

Having dealt with each other two or three times before, Mingze Feng knew that if the two of them were in the same room, it would be a miracle if they didn't fight. Moreover, Liang's parents had absolutely no interest in rock music, and investing in it was utter nonsense.

The only possibility that the other party has come looking for them is, and can only be, because of Yamada Ryo's matter.

That makes things simple.

There's nothing to be ashamed of.

Love is love. What's done is done, and what's not done doesn't need explaining.

Aside from Yamada Ryo, there's not much else to say about Narusawa Kaede.

If you have a clear conscience, you have nothing to fear. To be precise, Yamada Ryo has actually been well taken care of and is quite plump.

Regardless of what happened in the past.

Today, in this firm that has nothing to do with either of them, the two men who can't stand each other still sat together.

Mingze Feng glanced at the empty tea in front of the other person and poured himself a cup of tea.

As for the empty cup in front of Yamada's father... what a joke! He's already turned his back on us, who would he be trying to impress with this little thing?

If a good impression has already been ruined, adding a bad one wouldn't hurt.

"...Big brother?" After all, titles like uncle and paternal uncle are banned, aren't they?

Mingze Feng admitted that he was simply flirting with the other party.

"Hmm?" Yamada's father frowned slightly, clearly displeased, but did not lash out.

Naruzawa Kaede glanced slightly to the side. Although he couldn't see any useful information, it seemed...

Chih, you've come to make peace?!

Mingze Feng blinked. Would this mean Liang could go back now? For the past month, Liang had always stayed in the internet cafe, refusing to come out even when Mingze Feng called her. Although there was a bed there, it wasn't comfortable to sleep in.

Mingze Feng also wanted to go home, but not in a way that restricted himself.

They set the price higher—

Naruzawa Kaede's mind echoed with the words relayed by Yamato Maya.

Could it be that Yamada's father has already discussed something with Tsuzuki Shifune? But what is the relationship between Yamada Ryo and Tsuzuki Shifune?

Mingze Feng's gaze fell on the man opposite him.

In just half a month, the other person's hair seemed to have turned much whiter.

I didn't notice it at night last time, but now in the sunlight, the gray hairs at my temples are clearly visible.

Simply put, this person has gotten old.

Perhaps because it was nighttime last time, Mingze Feng didn't notice that the other person's hair had already turned gray.

Perhaps in other places, he is in charge of the family business, but since Liang left home, he is not the only one who has been unable to eat or sleep well.

The words that were meant to escalate the conflict slipped out of Mingze Feng's mouth, but he changed his tune and explained, "Liang has probably gained some weight recently. She's eating well and sleeping soundly... She seems to be doing quite well."

"I didn't keep any photos."

"If it's not there, it's not there, that's fine... um." Yamada's father sighed, his voice softening slightly.

"Thank you for your hard work."

His expression was complicated, but he finally said, "I'll have to trouble you to take care of Liang's matter later."

Mingze Feng: "Huh? What's wrong?"

Mingze Feng's gaze couldn't help but continue scrolling down.

It's nothing much. I chatted with two other people this morning. One of them has an only daughter who went to London with her husband, leaving her younger daughter to be raised by her grandmother; the other has all his children... and his last remaining granddaughter also ran away from home to be with a man and hasn't been back since...

That's terrifying.

"Uncle, don't worry about leaving it to me!"

"Don't rush to agree, there are conditions."

Yamada's father pressed down on the contract in front of him.

His fingers tapped lightly on the table, his scrutinizing gaze constantly sweeping over the viewer, as if he were carefully choosing his words.

“Ryo can’t stay by your side forever,” Yamada’s father said slowly. “She will go home sooner or later, or… find a path that suits her better.”

Mingze Feng paused for a moment, then lowered his head and took a sip of tea.

"What are the conditions?"

Yamada's father stared at him, his tone unhurried: "Don't let her go the wrong way before she gets home... She's still young."

Running away from home certainly doesn't qualify as the behavior of a big kid.

Ming Zefeng took the contract, opened it, and read it. It was a complete commercial contract that stipulated a medical endorsement.

They promote drug brands to make money.

Whether the terms are fair or not is a matter for professionals to judge.

Yamada's father: "Hmph... I can't figure out what Ryo likes about you."

Liang, I hope you'll be happy.

Chapter Twenty-Eight: Young People Must Always Persevere

It's hard to tell whether we're talking about feelings or business.

However, with a third-party notary present, the discussions were largely business-related. The negotiations with Yamada's father proceeded smoothly with the support of Yamato Maya.

Yamato Maya indicated that she was willing to sign the endorsement contract, as the terms offered were very generous, even exceeding some industry standards, and she had no intention of ripping anyone off.

Yamada's father then pulled out a supplementary contract and looked at Yamato Maya.

The meaning is obvious: he's about to start ripping someone off... no, I mean, he's going to discuss some private matters with Mingze Feng.

Yamato Maya glanced at the contract, looked at Naruzawa Kaede with a hint of surprise, then handed the contract to Naruzawa Kaede and walked out.

She said this was beyond her job scope; her job was only to find loopholes in the contract within the bounds of the law, and that the contract had no legal effect whatsoever.

Don't bring your family's private matters into the workplace.

Ming Zefeng opened the contract and began to read it line by line.
