Mingze Feng could hardly believe it was the same scruffy cat he'd seen last year. His first thought, however, was that the guy sitting here was unbelievably handsome.

That short, cat-like guy with no personality traits is actually so good-looking.

Mingze Feng didn't even blink.

After a series of changes, the gilded text rolled out the answer that Naruzawa Kaede wanted: This is Ronai Cat after she has put on a full face of makeup.

Mingze Feng always thought that makeup was a kind of evil magic, using foundation to change the shape of one's face, but if Ye Mu didn't have any makeup on her face, just standing there would make people stare in amazement.

The gilded text reflected what Narumawa Kaede wanted to see.

Several people did her makeup, including three or four bands and several professional makeup artists.

[I ran to a secluded corner after putting on makeup, but I still got caught.]

Yoro Nai suddenly felt depressed because of this.

It's like a cat playing a game with itself and losing the game.

I didn't notice anything amiss when we met last time.

Mingze Feng pushed aside the reflection that had suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and then recalled the old woman who was imposing without being angry. He couldn't understand how such a grandmother could raise a niece with cat-like traits.

Kaname tilted her head and asked softly, "Um... Kaname, Desu... who are you...?"

Yoruichi tilted her head and pondered for a moment who this somewhat familiar person was. Soon, Yoruichi finally remembered.

That day, she was taking a nap under a tree by the Hanasaki River when this person brought a group of people to disturb her, and even took her to her grandmother's place, where her grandmother scolded her!

The 1.5-meter-tall, handsome girl raised her finger and snorted coldly:

"You are a badass!"

The girl angrily turned to leave, but then suddenly remembered her grandmother's words of advice.

If they run away...

Grandma said to stay here obediently and wait for her to finish her work.

Grandma will scold me...

Her raised fingers froze, and even her puffed-up cheeks didn't return to normal. Her single-threaded mind was stuck, and her whole body stopped moving.

Mingze Feng raised his hand and pried her fingers back.

"Don't point your fingertips at people; it's very impolite."

Mingze Feng was just thinking about whether he should bring a cat treat next time they met when someone suddenly sat down in the seat on the other side. The movement wasn't big, but it carried a sense of oppression.

"What are you two doing?"

Out of the corner of my eye, I caught sight of the person approaching.

Her long blue hair shone with a cold white hue in the dim light. She didn't even take off her mask, her golden pupils locked tightly on the hand she was holding.

It's Xiangzi; she's sneaked back too.

"Ha... He just stepped off the stage and turned around, and he's already holding hands with a girl he doesn't even know?"

Toyokawa Shoko's voice was deep, and her tone was somewhat jealous, as if she had been overindulging in a jealous tantrum.

"Sometimes I really wonder if I might run into your ex-girlfriend on the street... huh?"

When Mingze Feng was locked on by her gaze, he realized that he was still holding Yao Lena's fist, and the temperature of his palm suddenly became scalding.

In the instant he was slightly taken aback, Yoro Nai seized the opportunity to pull away and break free from his grasp.

"Xiang, it's me—"

As soon as Mingze Feng opened his mouth, a sudden pang of fear gripped his heart, and his scalp tingled. Before he could recover, he heard a swift gust of wind and Xiangzi's shouts—

"What are you doing—!"

Yoro's little fist, like an enraged cat's claw, struck his cheek without warning, so fast that one wondered if she had practiced it.

boom--

The next second, the fist landed squarely on Mingze Feng's face.

It wasn't a feigned light tap, but a real, angry punch. Although the force wasn't enough to make him see stars, it was enough to make his mind go blank for a moment.

It wasn't until he felt a slight burning, dull pain on one side of his face that Mingze Feng realized he was being supported from behind.

Immediately afterwards, Toyokawa Shoko's voice rang in his ear, sounding quite surprised.

"She's not really one of your ex-girlfriends, is she?"

Mingze Feng shook his head, "Of course not..."

Toyokawa Shoko looked at him with heartache, but at the same time, she couldn't help but feel an urge to push him away—who told this guy to always inexplicably provoke girls... his fist.

Shoko Toyokawa ultimately held back, gently supporting Kaede Narusawa while her gaze subtly shifted between him and Kaname.

Lenai's punches come quickly, hurt, and go away just as fast.

Mingze Feng's head was still a little dizzy, and he was mostly puzzled as to why every pretty girl he met seemed to have a double-edged sword...

Kikusato Hiroi - Rock;

Ryo Yamada - Personality;

Toyokawa Shoko - Self.

Yao Lenai—I just praised her for being cool, and now she's punching me.

At this moment, Yao Lena put her hands on her hips and excitedly raised the corners of her mouth, "Hmph, you bad guy... here you go."

She snorted and clenched her fists tightly, as if she was still savoring the feeling of that blow.

She's just a little girl...

The pain from the cat punch subsided quickly, leaving a slightly itchy feeling.

Mingze Feng raised his hand and touched the spot where he had been hit. He couldn't bring himself to get angry at such a child, so he could only sigh helplessly.

Now it seems that Yoro Nai is a pure, innocent wild cat.

She really holds a grudge.

“They’re all red…” Toyokawa Shoko whispered in his ear, “Let’s go find a clerk together, come on.”

Mingze Feng felt that he was not in a big deal, but his obsession with good looks had relapsed. Suddenly, his wrist was grabbed by an irresistible force.

"Alright, stop standing here like an idiot." Toyokawa Shoko said, her other hand already precisely locking onto Yoru Nai's collar, dragging the little cat who had just thrown a punch along with her.

"Nya?!"

Lena struggled a little in dissatisfaction, but her resistance was futile. In the end, she could only shake her legs like a small animal being carried away and obediently let herself be dragged along.

Helplessly, Naruzawa Kaede was led forward, watching Toyokawa Shoko walk unhesitatingly towards the staff, and couldn't help but sigh—

After not seeing him for over a month, his decisive and efficient demeanor has become even stronger, and he's become even more domineering.

"Let's go find some staff."

Toyokawa Shoko said matter-of-factly, “You’ve been beaten up, so she has to come and report for duty.”

"It can't be that bad, I don't feel anything anymore."

After all, it's an injury that will heal completely if left untreated.

"Ah..."

Toyokawa Shoko paused, glanced at Narusawa Kaede, and added, "Let the staff check whether you were actually assaulted and suffered a medical accident, or if some kind of love story is about to unfold... I hope it's not."

Toyokawa Shoko glared at Narusawa Kaede.

Naruzawa Kaede explained, "Of course not, it's her. She's Rakuna, Hanasakikawa. Do you remember that time you were looking for Roselia's teammate? She fell from the tree..."

Toyokawa Shoko: "Of course I remember, that's why I was wondering, you don't even remember a junior high school student..."

Toyokawa Shoko suddenly realized that she and Kaoru Naka were only one year apart. She snorted and changed the subject, "Anyway, I'm going to take her to see her parents."

"Yeah!"

Lenai struggled violently; it seemed that finding her parents had touched a sensitive spot, and the kitten became restless and agitated.

Toyokawa Rikishi single-handedly subdued him.

Generally speaking, Toyokawa Shoko doesn't behave too extraordinaryly, but when she's in a great mood or a bad mood, her grip strength increases exponentially.

Naruzawa Kaede glanced at Kaname with pity, then recalled the blissful days before and after the New Year when he was pinned down by Toyokawa Rikishi.

Mingze Feng did not resist at all, because he had already experienced this before.

I wouldn't dare say I was unhappy at all.

But they are indeed very happy.

And so, the three of them, without any hindrance, found Kasumi Toyama and a group of other shop assistants who were busy backstage.

In reality, the performance was essentially over after Roselia, and Kasumi Toyama didn't need to help with things like the audience leaving.

Upon seeing this strange combination of a masked woman and a captive cat, the shop assistant, with a peculiar look in her eyes, led the pair to the place oblivionis had requested.

That is, the location of Renai's parents.

Along the way, Yoro Nai struggled from time to time, but she never gave up on pursuing the unattainable freedom.

"This is it..." Kasumi Toyama squeezed through the crack in the door, reaching out to hold the door open and making way for him.

This time, Kaoru was surprisingly obedient, completely giving up the struggle and being half-pushed and half-dragged into the room by Toyokawa Shoko, as if she had already resigned herself to her fate.

Mingze Feng gently rubbed the side of his face that had been slapped, and followed behind with mixed feelings.

The people inside are probably not easy to deal with.

This is a... large room.

The large screen in the control room was displaying Roselia's music in full glory, as gorgeous as ever. The cheers from the audience coming through the speakers seemed to indicate that the final winner of this competition was here.

There were ** people sitting behind the soundproof glass, talking about something.

In another meeting room separated by soundproof glass, an elderly woman with white hair, who still looked quite robust, stood in the room, gazing at the large screen showing Yuki Minato singing, nodding occasionally.

"No wonder this is the band she trained," the old woman thought narcissistically.

Ming Zefeng glanced at her and felt a strange sense of familiarity.

—Wait a minute, isn't this…

Shisen Tsuzuki, an industry leader, was a prominent figure when she joined the Budokan, a place whose prestige was as strong as the Japanese yen back then.

As expected, they invited her to be a judge for this competition again.

Toyokawa Shoko gently nudged his elbow, signaling him not to get distracted.

Just as Mingze Feng came to his senses, he heard the old man speak.

"Made new friends?"

Clearly, this was said to Yoro Nai.

Tsuzuki Shisen wasn't strict with his granddaughter; he even had a bit of the unconventional, rock-and-roll spirit about him.

Yao Lena pursed her lips, lowered her head and stared at the shoes, thinking about how to play dumb and get away with it.

Before Lena could speak, Toyokawa Shoko released her grip on her collar and explained calmly, "We caught her over in the audience. She just punched Narusawa Kaede."

"Oh?" The white-haired old man raised an eyebrow slightly and turned to look at Ming Zefeng. "She beat you up?"

That's a rather strange question...

Mingze Feng coughed lightly, just about to say something nice to Yao Lena, but Yao Lena had already run and jumped behind her grandmother, and was speaking with great conviction:

"He's a bad guy, hit him on the head, give him back."

After saying that, Lena Cat stuck out her tongue slightly.

Mingze Feng really wanted to grab her tongue and pull it out.

Toyokawa Shoko pursed her lips. Where did these keycaps come from?

Even Kasumi Toyama, who came in to deliver water, couldn't help but exclaim "Eh!"

Facing several piercing gazes, especially the calm look of Shifune Tsuzuki, Kasumi Toyama braced herself and focused her attention on Rakuna Kaname.

Kasumi Toyama: "Rakuna, if you hit someone, I won't let you eat Yamabuki cookies next time~"
