Chapter 58: Chapter 58
How is it you, Tomori-chan!
The person who kissed him was also a bit of a surprise to Kamijo Mutsumi.
However, it was the kind of surprise that felt unexpected yet somehow logical.
And Tomori and he stared at each other. As if she felt her previous peck wasn't enough to "revive" him, she pursed her lips, seemingly wanting to kiss him again.
But just then, Taki, who was standing to the side, finally reacted and quickly held back the cute little penguin.
"Tomori, what are you doing?"
Taki rarely raised her voice at Tomori, her face flushed red, but this time it was from anger.
"How could you kiss..."
This time, her voice carried a hint of shyness.
"...kiss that guy?!"
"Because... Mutsumi wanted a kiss."
Faced with the seemingly angry Taki, the little penguin replied dazedly.
"He asked for a kiss, so you just kissed him?"
Miss Taki almost laughed in exasperation.
"Because... it's Mutsumi."
"Even if it's him, you can't!"
"Tomori,"
However, the person before her was, after all, Tomori.
So, Taki suppressed her emotions and advised her with earnest and well-meaning words.
"A kiss is very important for a girl. It must be with her future..." Taki said, her voice becoming slightly softer, her cheeks flushing. This time it was genuinely out of shyness. After all, even a pressure-freak is still a girl.
"...her future husband. So, in the future, you absolutely can't just casually..."
However, listening to Taki's advice, Tomori couldn't help but think of the marriage application she had swiped from his car.
According to Taki, does that mean as long as I marry him, I can kiss him whenever I want?
It was a good thing Miss Taki didn't know what Tomori was thinking. Otherwise, she would have definitely seen red.
After admonishing Tomori, Taki looked at the girl's obedient appearance and felt that her words should have had an effect, so she didn't continue her assault.
"It's getting very late now," he said, standing up. After Taki had finished, he also made a suggestion.
"Why don't you all just stay here tonight?"
"My house has a lot of rooms. We can all hang out together."
"If you get tired, you can just go straight to sleep. It's no problem!"
"Huh? Spend the night here?"
Faced with his suggestion, Miss Taki was the most resistant.
Because of what had just happened, she felt it was dangerous just to have him and Tomori in the same space.
"But what this guy says is true. It really is late..."
However, Miss Ano held a different opinion.
"How about... we treat it as our band's first sleepover?"
Unlike Taki's resistance, Miss Anon seemed very enthusiastic.
She didn't mind his presence; she just thought it would be nice.
Of course, the key was that everyone was here.
If it were just her alone, even with Mutsumi Wakaba, she would definitely not dare to stay over.
But with so many of them now, what could he possibly do?
It was such a nice, big house; it would be a waste not to stay.
And it was a good opportunity to deepen the bond between the band members!
Tomori naturally leaned towards agreeing with him, and Raana didn't care either, so the matter was settled.
Watching the girls take out their phones to message their parents, Kamijo Mutsumi glanced at Great God Saki's bedroom and then looked away.
And because Tomori and the others were staying the night, Mutsumi Wakaba's workload for dinner increased.
However, seeing this, Anon immediately offered to help in the kitchen. Although she was a rich girl, her cooking skills were not bad.
After her was Taki. Although she was a pressure-freak, she was a good child who worked part-time to support her studies. Naturally, she wasn't someone who had never done housework.
Therefore, with their help, Mutsumi Wakaba's task was actually much easier than usual.
As for Kamijo Mutsumi...
He was naturally waiting for dinner with Tomori and Raana.
Dinner was quickly prepared. Now there was only one last problem: one person was not at the table.
That's right, it was Great God Saki. She was still in her room, being emo.
Even Taki, who disliked her the most, couldn't say something like "let her starve for the night."
And the task of asking her to come out for dinner naturally fell to him.
When he got to the room, Great God Saki was still curled up in a ball on the bed, just like last time.
"Saki-chan?"
"What is it?"
This time, Sakiko didn't deliberately ignore him.
"Be good, don't throw a tantrum. Come out and eat dinner."
"Don't use that tone with me!"
His tone, as if he were coaxing a child, instantly broke her defenses. She threw off the covers and said, "And I'm not hungry! You can eat by yourself!"
"Growl~"
However, just as the words left her mouth, her stomach rumbled with perfect comedic timing.
"..."
Her face instantly slapped, Sakiko's cheeks flushed, but she didn't try to forcefully save face. Instead, she said directly, "I don't want to eat anyway! Leave me alone!"
"Saki-chan, if you don't behave, I'll call Soyo to come and get you."
Looking at the clearly still-pouting Great God Saki, he directly used his ultimate move.
"You..."
If she was merely annoyed with Soyo before, after what happened today, she was clearly left with a considerable shadow of trauma.
Therefore, seeing that he was about to call Soyo, she immediately became anxious.
"...I'll go out with you."
In the end, Great God Saki surrendered.
However, as soon as she reached the living room, she immediately regretted it.
The moment she came out, five pairs of eyes were staring straight at her.
Wait, why are they still here?
Sakiko had originally thought that Tomori and the others had all gone home, which was why she was willing to come out with him.
Seeing that there were still people here, she immediately wanted to turn around and go back to being emo.
After all, after what had just happened, she really didn't want to appear in front of them.
And she didn't know how to face Tomori.
But just as she was about to turn, he directly blocked her path.
I went through all that trouble to get you out. How can I let you run back?
Coupled with the gazes of Tomori and the others, Sakiko could only find a place to sit down, biting the bullet.
And with her arrival, the atmosphere at the dinner table predictably turned cold.
Tomori's mood visibly dropped. Taki shot Sakiko a cold snort and then began to take care of her beloved leader.
"Tomori, don't mind her. Let's eat!"
"She quit, so she quit. Why care so much? It's not like our band is missing her, right?"
"..."
Although Taki's attitude was what she wanted, Sakiko's heart still felt inexplicably heavy.
However, she really had no right to be angry.
After all, she knew how deeply she had hurt Tomori.
If she could, she wouldn't have wanted to.
Although she was annoyed with Soyo, deep down, didn't she also want to go back to the way things were?
But fate plays tricks on people. She had no right to refuse.
The girl named Toyokawa Sakiko had long lost the right to be naive. She didn't want to sing now, she just wanted to make money!
Feeling the awkward atmosphere, Anon also felt a bit uncomfortable.
However, even she didn't know what to say at this moment.
Therefore, she subconsciously glanced at him, wanting him to warm up the atmosphere.
Even Miss Ano herself didn't realize that she was subconsciously starting to rely on him.
"It seems everyone is a bit tense. How about I perform something for you all!"
As if he had been prepared all along, he said with a smile.
"Let me sing a song for you all!"
The young man said with a light laugh, his words nearly giving Anon a PTSD attack.
