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

Angry, Rencai threw an empty plastic bottle at her companion, then took a deep breath and began to tell Chaoyang the truth.

"It's nothing, actually... I dropped out of high school in Kumamoto and came to Tokyo. I was originally planning to apply to university here, but now I understand what I should do, so I dropped out of preparatory school and devoted myself to music."

"Hey, how can I drop out of school? If that happens...what will I do in the future?"

Aine, a good student who has never even skipped classes, let alone dropped out of school, cannot accept Nina's behavior at all and feels a little impatient.

"...I'll make a living from music in the future... until then... well... I'll work part-time."

"Are you kidding me... aren't the rest of you going to stop it?"

Aine looked at the other members who showed no reaction.

"If Nina has made her decision, we can't interfere... Besides, we have no right to criticize her."

"No one here has a high school diploma. Tomo-chan doesn't even have a junior high school diploma..."

Chaoyang didn't expect this band to work so hard...

Even Pochi at least knew to get the grades first before dropping out of high school... and in the end, they didn't drop out. They're really going too far...

"You guys... never mind. I don't want to judge you from a high position. Just keep going. If you have any financial difficulties, I can help."

It would have been fine if Chaoyang didn't know, but after he found out, his gentle nature forced him to not ignore the situation.

"We don't want financial help, nor do we need pity. We just hope you can keep an eye on us and give us a chance when we are strong enough!"

Rencai was already emotional at this time and responded very stubbornly.

"Hahahaha... This kid has some issues with his brain. Thanks for hosting me today~~, goodbye first~~~"

"Wait a minute... Nina, add me on LINE. I'll follow you guys."

"Hey?"

Rencai looked a little surprised. She hadn't expected Chaoyang to respond so quickly. A blush of excitement appeared on her face, and she hurriedly took out her phone.

"Is that really okay? That would be great!"

Nina said as she operated her phone.

"Are you in love with Nina? Are you a loli lover? ...No, that's not right. If that's the case, I think Tomo-chan would be more liked."

An and Subaru said this with a wicked smile, but were immediately met with an elbow attack from behind.

"Who is LOLI?"

"Hey, hey, don't give me XP without permission. Although LOLI is indeed within my defense range, I don't like you high school dropouts. I'm a degree-seeker! Okay, okay, you can go now. I have no right to interfere with what you do, Rencai, but I still hope you can think it through!"

…………

After the noisy Thornless Band left, only four people were left in the room.

Only then did Aine ask weakly.

"What are we going to do now?"

"Let's take a look at the video and see if we can figure out who it is."

Chaoyang stood up as he spoke and put the videotape into the VCR.

"I'm going to serve you some drinks. Do you need me to come back sooner or later so that it's more convenient for you to do things?"

Ayase started telling dirty jokes again.

"Ms. Ayase!!! You're so cute, why do you always make jokes like this? Just speak at a normal speed."

"Yes, Miss Chihaya."

Ayase bowed to Aine and then turned to leave the room. Aine sighed with great exhaustion.

"Hurry up and watch the video. Don't waste time. I want to go home early..."

Su Shi spoke coldly. After her emotional fluctuations were forcibly suppressed by Chaoyang, she was extremely shy when recalling her previous behavior and could only pretend to be indifferent to ease the embarrassment.

"Indeed, it's already this late. RING is about to close. Can you all help me see if there's anyone I know..."

…………

While Chaoyang was watching the video, Xiangzi, who was on the tram on the other side, was wondering who had done such a thing.

[…Someone was following us from behind that day. The camera angle showed they were quite close, within 10 meters… Strange. I remember Chaoyang saying he could sense someone approaching, even in poor visibility. But he didn't react at all… If his sensing ability is real… there must be a reason. Once we figure that out, we can narrow down the scope.]

Guess gradually emerged in his mind, and at this moment the car door opened, and Xiangzi got off without hesitation.

He took out his cell phone and called Chaoyang.

"Hello, this is Xiangzi."

"Oh ya, are you here to get back together with me?"

"...Just kidding. Go talk to your woman. I want to know something about you. Back when we were underground, you mentioned that you had sensing abilities. What's the approximate range, and under what circumstances does it not work?"

Xiangzi stated his purpose promptly, not giving Chaoyang any chance to chat nonsense.

"...How boring! I can't really say the exact range; it depends on my condition. But if I had to give a number, within a 10-meter radius, it's ineffective against familiar targets, unless they have murderous intent against me..."

"What level of familiarity do you need?"

"I've met him many times, and it's enough if his aura is familiar to me."

"If I say...if I say the members of Avemujica, can you sense it?"

"...Do you think it was someone on the team?...Yeah, I think there's a traitor, but I haven't considered anyone from Avemujica."

Chaoyang on the other end of the phone was a little surprised after hearing who Xiangzi suspected. Considering that they could so quickly and clearly discover that Xiangzi was the keyboard player in Avemujica, and Xiangzi was almost unknown before, this alone could be used to conclude that he was an insider, but there was no evidence pointing to the fact that he was a member of Avemujica.

Because those people in the team didn't look like the type to do that kind of thing, even the most unfamiliar Ruomai and Hailing Chaoyang didn't seem to have any motive.

There is absolutely no benefit in separating Chaoyang and Xiangzi.

And they were already planning to separate, although Xiangzi had no intention of letting Chaoyang leave his position as agent.

"I'm watching the video now and will take your opinion into consideration."

"Are you watching? Well then, I look forward to hearing good news from you. At this stage, I don't intend to let you leave. After all, I can still use your fame."

Xiangzi said this coldly.

"Huh? I thought you couldn't bear to leave me."

Chaoyang was talking mischievously on the other end of the phone, but Xiangzi was still as cold as an iceberg, determined not to be discussed.

"…We're done…"

"Really? But I have a new idea in my mind."

"what idea?"

When Xiangzi heard Chaoyang say this, he couldn't help but feel curious and asked subconsciously.

"...Well, I won't tell you~~"

After saying that, the phone hung up.

Xiangzi bit his lips and held the phone tightly in his hand.

It seemed as if I could see Chaoyang's smirking expression.

……

"Tsk, he's really covered up with a hat and mask."

After watching the video, it was found that the camera at the door of the office recorded the person who sent the threatening letter, but it was obvious that the other party was on guard.

"Ayase, I want you to check something else. Do you have a list of the people who didn't show up for work that day?"

Chaoyang's maid briskly took out a neatly arranged list from a folder beside her.

"Here is the list of people who have requested leave for the day, but there aren't many of them."

The list Ayase handed over contained only a few names, even including their heights and weights. Chaoyang scanned them one by one, memorizing each possibility.

“…Not these people…”

All of them are male and are about 1 meters tall. They are obviously taller than in the video and their figures are not as good.

"It seems Xiangzi's guess is correct... then who could it be?"

At this time, Su Shi raised his hand

"Mu-chan, you're not happy that your childhood sweetheart, Xiangzi, was taken away from you, so you did this."

"It's not her. She wouldn't do such a thing... You should trust Mu more. She thinks highly of you, but she hasn't done anything extreme to you."

The kind-hearted Aiyin couldn't bear it anymore

"Hey, don't do things like suspecting your companions. It must have been done by an outsider, maybe a competitor."

They were afraid that Chaoyang's behavior of finding a traitor would cause the entire team to lose trust and fall apart.

"...What you said is possible...Okay, you two should stop discussing this. Thank you for staying with me for so long today and satisfying my perverted idea. And Su Shi, I will handle everything and take responsibility to the end, so you should also think carefully."

"..."

Su Shi turned his head and knew what Chaoyang City meant.

"Don't just say you two understand. Share some with me too."

Aiyin started to act coquettishly towards Chaoyang.

“Hehe~~ Aine, wait for next time.”

After saying that, he slapped her butt with a little force without any hesitation.

Aiyin covered her butt and ran away, while Su Shi just walked away silently with her bag on her back.

Finally, there were only two people left in the lounge. At this time, the maid spoke,

"Master, what are you going to do next?"

"Of course I have to investigate thoroughly. I'm going to use stupid methods to follow the members of Avemujica, Chuhua, Hailing, and Ruomai for a day each! I want to investigate every hair on their butts!"

387. Surveillance, Accidents, and the Hero's Appearance

"...Hmm...it seems like nothing unusual."

In response to Xiangzi's suspicion, Chaoyang began to monitor them. Although he felt a little sorry for the members of avemujica, Chaoyang could only apologize in his heart in such an emergency. When everything was revealed, he was determined to compensate them.

After watching the video and finishing the conversation with Xiangzi, Chaoyang "attacked" Yutenji Ruomai that night.

Although there was an element of embezzlement, as their agent, I checked their addresses.

Then he climbed onto the balcony from the outer wall of the apartment in the dark.

"...These days, it's true that no one locks their balcony windows...After this incident, I'll have to remind them to be careful and avoid encountering criminals like me. Although locking them wouldn't be much use to me anyway."

Chaoyang sneaked in while complaining about his own behavior.

He tiptoed into Ruomai's house.

The living room was filled with a faint fragrance, probably some kind of floral air freshener.

The furnishings in the room are simple and orderly

"Luckily, there were no underwear hanging around, or it would have been embarrassing."

Chaoyang considered installing surveillance and wiretapping, but felt that the nature of this was even worse and it would be terrible if he saw some explosive content that he couldn't bear to delete. So after careful consideration, he decided to do the surveillance himself.

At this time, the sound of water came from somewhere, and someone was humming a song.

It was obvious that Teacher Miao Meng was taking a shower at the moment. Chaoyang looked at the living room and saw that the video recording equipment was already set up.

It seems to be the preparation before the live broadcast.

[Well, let's look for any clues while she's taking a shower.]

Chaoyang actually wanted to exclude Yutenji Wakami. After all, she had no real reason to do such a thing, and at least on the surface, she seemed to like her own greed for power.

There would be no benefit for her if she left, and she didn't look like someone who liked Xiangzi.

[…Is she trying to monopolize me? Is she annoyed by seeing Xiangzi and me together? Is she trying to become a wealthy wife? …Uh, that's a bit narcissistic. Let's not make any preconceived assumptions. Let's first see if there's any evidence proving she did it.]

When Chaoyang walked into Ruomai's bedroom, a stronger fragrance hit him in the face. Chaoyang couldn't help but pinch his nose. His five senses were already super sensitive, and the excessive fragrance made him uncomfortable.
