Momoi Taro wants to form a "don" brother duo, but it's a music anime.

Page 148

“Nagasaki… Motoyo is someone who is afraid of being alone.” Momoi Taro said with a somber expression, “She has many thoughts, but she rarely expresses them.”

"In the end, you'll only hurt yourself." Momoi Taro simply stated a fact in the calmest tone, which made Ms. Nagasaki lower her head in shame.

Compared to Mr. Momoi, I feel like I don't understand my daughter as well. If Mr. Momoi hadn't said so, I wouldn't have known that my daughter had so many thoughts.

As for whether Momoi Taro is trustworthy? He's the person my daughter likes, and he might even become family with me in the future, so there's no need to doubt him.

"Indeed... I work hard so that Su Shi can have a good life. But after working so hard, I end up spending even less time with Su Shi..."

"My efforts back then were meant to stop Suze from trying anymore, but in the end, I hurt her instead?" Ms. Nagasaki chuckled self-deprecatingly, then thanked Taro.

"Thank you, Mr. Momoi. I will cherish the bond between Su Shi and me even more from now on... Thank you for reminding me. This is a rare opportunity. Would you like to come to my house for a visit later? My Su Shi is a very good cook."

“That’s fine, we’ve already eaten at an izakaya.” Taro refused directly: “Tickets for the live show in three days…?”

“I will ask Su Shi, don’t worry, Mr. Momoi.” Ms. Nagasaki replied with a gentle smile.

Taro nodded, then stood up: "I'll leave the practice room to you. I'll be going now."

"Eh? Mr. Momoi, are you full? Would you like to eat something else?" She looked at Taro with a bit of apprehension. Taro raised his head and explained, "No, I ate quite a lot at the celebration party. That's all for now, see you again sometime!"

After saying that, he left without looking back. Ms. Nagasaki only had time to thank him and say goodbye to his departing figure. She didn't know if he heard her, but he waved his hand casually and left.

After settling the bill, Ms. Nagasaki drank sake alone, her gaze deep and unfocused as she looked at her reflection in the glass, and said in a deep voice:

“Su Shi… it’s not that Mom doesn’t want to help you, but the person you like doesn’t seem to have any feelings for you right now.”

Indeed, no one knows a daughter better than her mother.

Although Ms. Nagasaki could see through many of the subtle tricks in business negotiations, she couldn't see through her daughter's thoughts, which suggests there might be a flaw in this statement.

However, you can't hide the look in someone's eyes when you like them. Every time I sneaked in, I could see Su Shi reading that book.

At first, Ms. Nagasaki thought her daughter was reminiscing about her father, but after seeing her several times, she realized that her daughter was looking at the same page and the same spot.

Just yesterday, she specifically confirmed who was at that location. This was the second time she had seen Momoi Taro, and it was at that moment that she realized her daughter had probably fallen for him.

She was still quite confident in her daughter's relationship with Momoi Taro, after all, her daughter's taste was beyond question, and even she herself thought that Momoi Taro was really quite good.

The problem is, my daughter likes this guy, but he doesn't feel any romantic feelings for her at all!

Ms. Nagasaki pondered the reason deeply, and a flash of brilliant wisdom seemed to suddenly appear in her mind, and she seemed to have found the answer.

Could it be... my own daughter...?

Her expression was grave, as if she had witnessed some horrifying truth.

In the relationship, is she actually just a complete novice?

Chapter 41, at the request of Ms. Uehara who wishes to remain anonymous, has been muted.

"Ugh... I don't have enough change," Felice stood there, conflicted, at the newly opened dessert shop. "The new chocolate cake is so expensive..."

She looked at the sign at the shop entrance with some hesitation, then took out her wallet and tapped it: "But... if it's Giligili, I can still buy another one..."

"If that's the case, I won't be able to afford any other desserts this month. Maybe I should just give up?" she muttered to herself, then changed her mind: "No, but this dessert is different—"

Looking at the words written on the blackboard, "Superb new product recommendation, super delicious, made with healthy ingredients, can also boost metabolism, super low in calories, no guilt after eating, and it is said that it can even reduce belly fat after eating it."

"Not only is it low-calorie, but it also helps with tummy control... Alright, I've decided—" Just as Felice made up her mind and was about to rush into the store, a man's voice came from beside her ear:

"That must be a scam."

The newcomer was none other than Momoi Taro.

After leaving the izakaya, Momoi Taro continued walking towards home. Then, he saw a familiar figure standing frozen at the entrance of the dessert shop for a long time without moving.

With ease, Momoi Taro recognized her as his friend, Uehara Hisamari, who looked deep in thought, as if pondering something troublesome.

As friends, it was fate that we met at this time, so Momoi Taro went up to listen to what was troubling him.

Then, he heard what Frieza said, and so he unceremoniously pulled her out of her fantasy.

"Ugh—Taro!?" Furious was startled, clutching her chest and instinctively looking around to see if anyone else from Afterglow was there.

But then she remembered what Ran had said; he didn't seem to regard that incident as a complete break, and now Ran could treat Taro with a normal attitude.

So I stopped and tried to talk to him in a normal way.

"Why say it's a lie!"

"Desserts that can make you thin don't exist anywhere." Momoi Taro tried to shatter Uehara Hime's fantasy with the most direct facts.

"No! This must not be an ordinary dessert; it must be a gift from the goddess of desserts to her faithful followers."

Félicie argued her case forcefully, though her reasoning seemed rather unconvincing. Perhaps realizing this, she quickly provided a case example:

"Mocha is the same; she never gains weight no matter how much bread she eats. It must be the blessing of the God of Bread!"

Momoi Taro gave Hime a serious look, which made Hime blush slightly. Could it be that her charm had increased without her noticing, and even Momoi Taro couldn't resist her charm and wanted to confess to her?

Should I say yes, or yes? I guess I'll just say yes.

"Well, let's give it a try." Momoi Taro's words startled the overthinking Himemari.

"Eh—try it...try what...?" Felice's voice sounded very nervous.

"Try it and see if it helps me lose weight," Taro said with a confident smile, then uttered words that made Himemari's heart flutter (physically):

"Your current weight is 'data elimination' kilograms. Can you try reducing the fee...?"

"Aww—!!!" Felix Mary let out a mournful cry, reaching out to cover Taro's mouth: "How did Taro know! No! It wasn't that heavy!"

Taro grabbed Himemari's hand, gently pushing it aside, and said seriously, "I saw it clearly, I'm absolutely not mistaken! Your weight is 'data elimination' kilograms."

"Mo! No need to say anything more! I know, I know!" Uehara Hisamari, completely defeated—

"It's my treat." Looking at the dejected Hime, Taro in the past would have used a much rougher approach.

However, after spending time with Aine and the others, Taro gradually gained some insights.

Thinking back to her time with Afterglow, after they invited her to form a band that day, it seemed that only Familiar and Mocha got along with her normally.

Although I still don't quite understand, they must have been under a lot of pressure.

This was also to express his gratitude. Looking at Hishiri's bewildered expression, Momoi Taro earnestly repeated, "Eat up, it's on you. Whether you can lose weight or not, you'll know once you try."

"Ugh—don't tempt me!" Felice cried out in protest and rushed into the shop.

In the end, Uehara Himeko refused Taro's invitation to dinner, and her wallet was now empty!

"How... is it?" After finishing her dessert, Fémarie cautiously looked at Taro, hoping to get a definite answer from him.

Taro scrutinized her carefully for a moment, then said definitively, "Data deletion kilograms!"

"Isn't this exactly the same?!" Furious exclaimed in dissatisfaction, then maintained a pensive expression.

"However, if my weight doesn't increase, then maybe the claim that eating this won't make me fat is true. If that's the case, then the weight loss effect is also true. It's just that I've only just started eating it, and I need to eat it for a long time to see results...?"

"Let's try it for a while," Felice comforted herself.

After Yi Qi Liu*⑴⑶ Er Wo{Jiu Yue——^ Yi, Taro suggested seeing Fei Mali off. The two of them walked down the road at the same time.

"How has everyone been lately?" Momoi Taro suddenly asked abruptly as they walked down the street.

“Recently…” Felice tilted her head and thought, “Everyone seems quite excited, everyone is really looking forward to that live performance.”

"Are you looking forward to it...? I'm looking forward to it too," Taro said softly in a low voice.

"Speaking of which, I don't really know the members of Taro's band." For some reason, Fémarie suddenly became excited: "Hehe~ I'm even more looking forward to it now."

“I see, me too.” Taro nodded, agreeing with Himemari’s statement: “That’s all for now, I’ll head back first.”

"Wait, wait, wait—" Hishimari tried to stop Taro, saying, "Let's do that together for the upcoming joint live performance!"

Seeing Taro turn around, Himemari shouted confidently, "A! A! O! Wait—don't ignore me!"

Taro, however, showed no intention of joining in the shouting and simply turned and left. Is this Uehara Himemari's tragic fate, forever unable to reach the reality of AAO?

Furious Mary yelled at someone, "There's no such weird setting!"

In chapter 42, we must believe that everything will be alright as long as Aine launches her attack.

Chihaya Aine emerged from her bathrobe, drying her long, wet pink hair with a towel.

After drying her hair with the hairdryer, she put on her glasses, took out her phone, and opened Twitter to see if there were any comments or thoughts about the Dong Brothers' performance that day.

"The lead singer's performance was amazing, and his voice was... I don't know why, but it really got me fired up."

"The rhythm group's coordination was excellent, and the interlude was handled really well."

"Such a young child, yet so skilled at guitar. It feels like I've wasted the last ten years of my life (with picture of Le Nai)."

"The pink-haired child kept looking at the fret chords while playing the first piece, not daring to take his eyes off it for fear of playing the wrong note (with picture of Ai Yin looking at a guitar)."

This post received a long string of comments expressing disapproval.

Aine puffed out her cheeks. This piece was written by Taro just three days ago. There was only so much time to practice, and she didn't have the same level of skill as everyone else. She was also afraid of making mistakes when she played it.

But looking at the picture, I really look so silly... Ai Yin pushed up her black-rimmed glasses, sighed, and picked up her guitar to practice for a little while.

After practice, Ai Yin had some free time. It was still early, and there was still some time before bed. When people have free time, they tend to overthink.

Aine couldn't help but think like this... or rather, she was reflecting on herself.

After I confessed to Momoi Taro, did my relationship with him progress?

After reflecting on it, she came to a definite answer... No!

Not only is there no progress in Li Yi's love life, but the number of rivals is also constantly increasing.

I think I was the only one at first...? But that doesn't seem right. I don't know if it's just my gut feeling, but I have this feeling that the former student council president and current idol of Haneoka might have feelings for Momoi Taro.

No, I'm probably overthinking it. He's my idol! Dating him would only lead to disaster.

Next up is Ruomai, whose identity has already been revealed... and then there's Su Shi from the neighboring band, who has almost openly expressed her liking for Momoi Taro.

Hai Ling is safe. She doesn't seem to have any intention of doing so today. Xiao Le Nai is completely safe and poses no threat whatsoever.

The others... maybe only Mygo's drummer has some potential; I always felt there was something off about the way she looked at Taro.
