After Boqi moved into my closet, the quiet life is gone forever

"you know?"

"Last year, before the young lady and master were kicked out, the young lady often talked about the band members with a smile. She didn't have many friends, so I still remember them. I see... Is that so? Then, Master Chaoyang, why did you help this girl?"

"It's nothing sudden. It's just like when I see a beggar today and feel pity for him and give him some money, but tomorrow I find him disgusted and think he's dirty. I have nothing to do now and I'm just killing time. It doesn't matter if you don't tell me. Well, enough of this small talk, I'm leaving."

As he said this, Chaoyang was about to get up.

At this time, the housekeeper immediately stopped Chaoyang.

"...Since it's Miss Nagasaki...then I hope Master Chaoyang can agree to one of my requests. I hope Miss Nagasaki will stop looking for you. Now, for you, your former friends are only a source of pain. Since Miss Nagasaki has found you, Master Chaoyang, she must be quite obsessed with you. If Master Chaoyang can agree to this request, I can tell you about your situation at the time. In fact, your father should know more about it."

"Ah... I can't see my father. I guess he's sliding on his knees in the living room every day now because he's going to inherit the Toyokawa family fortune."

Chaoyang teased his father, whom he had never met, without hesitation.

"...Young Master Chaoyang gives people a different feeling than before... I believe in Young Master Chaoyang's kindness now."

285. Customer Service Xiaoxiang's Downfall

Chaoyang listened to the former housekeeper's story and learned the details of what happened in Xiangzi's family.

Xiangzi's mother is infertile due to illness, but because Toyokawa Xiangzi's parents have a good relationship, she wants to help her father win the inheritance rights of the Toyokawa family, so she pretends to be pregnant and finds a surrogate mother to provide the eggs.

As Xiangzi grew up, his excellent abilities won him great satisfaction from the Toyokawa family.

Although Xiangzi's mother died of an illness in the middle, it did not affect their inheritance rights.

Everything was peaceful until last year.

In Chaoyang's world, the father finally found some clues, and followed the clues and spent money to find the surrogate mother to testify. Without the blood relationship of the Toyokawa family, it was impossible to entrust the family power to an outsider. So in the end, Xiangzi's father and Xiangzi were expelled from the Toyokawa family, but it was not announced to the outside world. They can still use the Toyokawa family surname, but that's all.

The old butler sitting opposite continued to narrate

"...The master originally signed several gambling agreements hoping to make a quick buck and leave some capital for both father and daughter. However, he didn't expect the truth to be exposed so quickly. After the Toyokawa family abandoned the master and the young lady, the master was completely unable to fulfill the terms of the agreement. Now he probably owes hundreds of millions in foreign debt. I have lost contact with the master since then and don't know the details. The young lady also dropped out of Tsuki no Mori and is nowhere to be found."

"Hundreds of millions in debt? That's terrible. Did they file for bankruptcy?"

Even if Chaoyang wanted to help, he couldn't do so much. Although his family should be able to come up with the money, unfortunately he is not the one who makes the decisions in this family.

"Probably not. I did suggest that Master do so, but Young Lady refused. After filing for bankruptcy, your address and surname would be published in state-issued newspapers and other publications, and Young Lady's pride wouldn't allow that to happen."

"is it?"

"That means I can't tell Nagasaki Suyo about this... Anyway, there's no need for me to help her like this. I was just asking out of interest, and it has nothing to do with me."

After Chaoyang thought it through, he got up and left.

Just two steps away from the seat,

"Master Chaoyang...are you interested in Miss Xiangzi?"

"Hmm? Um... okay. What's wrong?"

The old housekeeper hesitated. He had originally wanted to say that if Chaoyang wanted to help Toyokawa Shoko, the best way would be to marry her and help her return to the Toyokawa family. The Toyokawa family still had a high opinion of Shoko, but the lack of blood relationship was a major drawback. If they could get married, it could be considered an internal family marriage. Since marriage is allowed between the four relatives in Japan, it could be considered acceptable.

It's just that Chaoyang himself has a bad reputation, being a philanderer and frequenting nightclubs. Perhaps this time, he's also attracted to the beauty of a band member, Miss Tsuki no Mori, and that's what inspired him.

"...Nothing, I hope Master Chaoyang can do his best to help the young lady."

"Oh, I'll treat her to something good when I get a chance."

After Chaoyang finished speaking casually, he left the coffee shop.

Back to his own car.

After a moment of silence, Chaoyang roughly understood the whole story today, but this was not enough to allow Nagasaki Suye to receive him. Although he could also refuse, he agreed after all.

Finally, I picked up the car phone and dialed the number of a guy who seemed to have a good relationship with me and was hanging out in the nightclub with me.

"Brother, what's the matter?"

"Do you know Toyokawa Shoko?"

"I know, big brother. You kept saying you wanted to play with her, so why are you finally going to do it?"

"Idiot! No! I need you to help me contact a reliable detective. I want to know her current situation and the latest information about her and her father. I will transfer the money to your account later."

"Okay, I understand. Big brother, give me some time, I will find the most suitable person."

The response was prompt and efficient, and the team was clearly no stranger to this type of request.

After hanging up the phone, Chaoyang leaned back in the car seat. The scenery outside the window quickly receded, but his thoughts remained on the conversation just now.

Just react immediately.

"Ah, come to think of it...is this the time for me to do something like this? I don't even know where Pochi and the others are."

He complained to himself in a low voice.

--------------

After school

Pochi and Takamatsu Deng came to RING in Ikebukuro for their daily practice.

At this time, Nagasaki Suyo had not arrived yet and only Li Xi was waiting for them in the recording studio.

At this moment, Lixi was sitting behind the drum set, looking at the time on his mobile phone, shaking his legs with an impatient look on his face.

"Hello..."

"Now that you're here, get ready and be ready to start practicing. Warm up on your own first."

Li Xi didn't even raise his head.

"Um...yes."

Li Xi was actually angry at the stray cat for asking Lenai. She still hadn't replied today, and he didn't know whether she would come or not. He was hesitating whether to wait for her for a while after everyone was gathered or start practicing directly.

Following the instructions, Pochi quickly connected the guitar to the effects pedal and then to the speakers.

"Hey, Ano, when did you buy the effects pedal?"

"Ah... just now..."

Pochi followed his habit and used Aine's pocket money to buy an effects pedal at the musical instrument store inside RING.

[Yes, I'm sorry, but you will definitely be able to use it in the future.]

Pochi apologized in his heart to Chihaya Aine, whom he had never met.

"…cut…"

As Li Xi watched "Ain" getting more and more on track, he became more and more dissatisfied with himself. He had encountered a bottleneck in arranging the music, and no matter how he modified it, there were still some parts that he was not satisfied with.

But the "Aine" in front of him was a beginner among beginners, but in just a few days, her skills had become as proficient as a veteran who had been playing for years, and her sense of inferiority was even more severe.

[This guy too, that guy too... Could it be that I really don't have any talent...]

When Shiina Tatsuki was revising the music score, the figure of Toyokawa Shoko kept appearing in her mind. She could immediately notice the subtle and unreasonable parts of the music with just one glance.

In order to catch up with that level, I had to squeeze all my time to achieve it, even though I was not talented enough. I barely reached the level of Toyokawa Shoko's arrangement.

In reality, Shiina Riki's arrangement speed is incredibly fast, and her talent is undeniable. However, because the other members of MYGO had seen Toyokawa Shoko's level, and Shiina Riki had also achieved the same, they assumed that this speed was normal and didn't give Shiina Riki the corresponding encouragement or praise, recognizing her efforts, which led to her constant self-doubt.

The time it takes for Xiang Boqi and the others to arrange the ending band's music is relatively normal.

At this time, the heavy soundproof door of the recording studio was opened.

A short-haired girl with heterochromic eyes walked in, dragging all her belongings.

"Come play in a band."

He said this in a calm tone and walked over to the speakers to tinker with the equipment.

"Stray cat! Just let me know if you're coming!"

If you want Lenai to understand the literal meaning, he will answer.

"coming"

286. The versatile "Ain"

“…Haaa…”

Riki was on the verge of exploding after hearing Kaname's answer.

Pochi observed the band member in front of him whom he had never met before.

[Okay, so cool!]

Pochi was immediately excited when he saw Lenai's two-colored eyes.

"So, do people with two-colored eyes really exist? Yes, I wish I had one too. And her clothes are so fashionable too..."

At this time, Lenai looked at everyone and continued to ask a question since no one had any intention of playing.

"The band isn't playing?"

It feels like if you say no, you will leave immediately.

"And the bassist isn't here yet. We'll start practicing together when she arrives. Until then, if you want to practice, just practice on your own."

"Ah."

Lenai nodded, opened his suitcase, and began to connect the accessories of the musical instruments one by one.

Seeing this, Pochi also wanted to see how Maomao played. At this time, Maomao suddenly walked towards Pochi.

Play Together

"Hey?"

Pochi was so frightened by the invitation from the stranger Lenai that he went into a state of stiffness.

[Are you trying to see who's better than me?]

"I suddenly feel that you are very interesting today."

At this time, Li Xi said to Pochi with an unhappy look on his face.

"Ano, play with the stray cat for a while. If this guy doesn't get his fill, he'll run away again."

"Ah... I see..."

[This is a rare opportunity, so why not play the band's closing song?]

“…Then I’ll begin…”

As the melody gradually unfolded, her fingers danced across the strings.

【Hey hey, I’m in good shape】

"Roar…"

Listening to the tune, Lenai's mouth curled into a w shape, and he immediately started to improvise along with Pochi.

And after hearing Lenai's performance, Pochi was quite moved.

This girl named Le Nai is amazing. Whether it's strumming 8th notes or hitting and pulling on the 1st and 3rd strings, she's amazing. Her basic skills in string bending and vibrato are also excellent... No wonder the band chose her as the lead guitarist. She might be even better than me.

"Amazing, Ano-chan! This tune is so beautiful!"

After listening to this, Gao Songdeng clapped her hands, and her words invisibly stimulated Li Xi, who was already under a lot of pressure.

Just when he was halfway through playing the song, Li Xi took out his mobile phone and opened the music search app. When the results came out, he frowned.

"What song are you playing, man? I can't even find it by listening to the music on my phone."

"Ah... this, this is Guitar, Loneliness, and the Blue Planet..."

"You didn't arrange this music, did you?"

Lixi was staring at Bochi at this moment. Bochi felt as if he would be eaten alive if he answered yes.

"No, it's not..."

Originally, Pochi had a little vanity in mind and planned to end the band's song by claiming that he wrote it himself to attract everyone's admiration, but he was intimidated by Lixi's imposing manner.
