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

Taro had initially asked her if she wanted them to come later so he could help with the luggage, but Nina waved her hand and said no, then added in a mysterious tone:

"I have a surprise for you when Mr. Momoi comes back."

Taro is quite looking forward to the surprise, and he's still wondering what Nina was talking about.

He went to a nearby supermarket and casually bought some clothes and ingredients to prepare a simple welcome feast.

But whatever it was, it was about to be revealed. He walked to the door, intending to open it—

Rumbling--

The whole house shook. An earthquake? Taro looked at the house suspiciously. No, only his house was shaking.

Thinking about it from outside was pointless, so Taro didn't hesitate any longer and opened the door directly.

……

"Is this the surprise you were talking about?" Taro looked around. There were four people piled up on the hallway, from bottom to top: Momoka, Rupa, Satoshi, and Nina.

The surrounding area was filled with overturned furniture, and the four of them were simultaneously reaching out to steady a crooked cardboard box. Through a torn corner of the box, Taro could see that there was an electronic keyboard inside.

To be honest, it was more of a shock than a pleasant surprise.

"Are you doing some kind of performance art?" Taro looked at the four people in confusion, then quickly reached out and grabbed a corn snake in his hand.

"Ahaha...there was a slight mishap." Nina chuckled dryly, instinctively reaching to scratch her head, only to be scolded by Momoka: "Hey! Nina! Don't, don't let go!"

"Sorry, sorry." Nina continued with an awkward laugh, and then she briefly explained why things had turned out this way.

……

Momoka was so terrified when she saw the snake that she went berserk.

"Momoka-san, calm down—ah!" Nina went up to try to calm the berserk Momoka, but Momoka closed her eyes and casually swung her arms, trying to shake off the snake on her body.

As a result, Nina was pushed to the ground by Momoka, even though she really didn't want to get involved in this farce that she had caused.

However, his keyboard was still with Momo, so Ash rushed forward to stop him, and Rupa also wanted to save the keyboard and Slug.

The clever snake had already gotten off Momoka's body immediately. Before Rupa could even steady the keyboard, Satoshi, who was trying to stop Momoka, was pulled down by Momoka's arm and fell onto Nina's body.

"Rua—" Nina, who was being pressed down by the heavy object, rolled her eyes and stuck out her tongue, protesting loudly, "So heavy—Momoka-san, go and lose some weight!"

As she spoke, she tried to push Tao Xiang away.

"Shut up! Take the snake away! Get it away now!"

While still struggling, Momoka quickly waved her arms, trying to drive away any snakes that might be there. In doing so, she knocked over the electronic keyboard, which was about to roll down the stairs.

Seeing this, whether intentionally, deliberately, or simply by chance, Rupa leaped forward and landed on top of Ash, catching the keyboard case that was about to fall, and loudly proclaimed:

"Safely on base—"

"That's roughly the situation..." Nina finished explaining, a little embarrassed.

"How ugly! You're not even fit to be my servants!" Taro raised his head and looked down at them, scolding them.

"Alright, alright, we'll listen carefully to any scolding later. Now, could you please put the keyboard down for us? My hands are so tired. Also, snake... please don't let it come near me."

Momoka pleaded with Momoi Taro in a low voice for help. Taro readily agreed, placing the docile corn snake on the ground and then moving with incredible speed, almost imperceptible to the naked eye, to stand before the four people.

Then, with one hand holding the vegetables, she steadily lifted the electronic keyboard, and with her other free hand, she lifted the four people one by one and placed them on the ground.

Finally freed, Nina breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm saved! I almost thought I was going to die. Momoka-san, you'd better work on your diet from now on!"

"In the end, it's all Nina's fault!" Momoka slumped on the ground and kicked Nina's leg, who was also slumped on the ground.

"Tsk!!" Nina naturally wouldn't tolerate it either, and kicked back with her leg. Momoka also kicked back, and the two of them kicked each other back and forth, having a great time.

Taro placed the keyboard on the open ground, then put the corn snake back in its box, placed it on the table, and calmly said to Ash:

"But I really didn't expect that the bandmates she was referring to were you guys."

Although Taro had only met the two people once, he had a very good memory and naturally remembered them.

"It's like this..." Ash hugged his knees nervously, turning his head away and avoiding Taro's gaze, and said softly, "If you have any complaints, just kick me out."

Taro, carrying his groceries, went to the kitchen. Hearing Satoshi's words, he glanced back at her with a slightly puzzled look, then focused on preparing his ingredients. He replied, "..."

"No, I have no objection. You can stay as long as you want, I have absolutely no objection."

Ash frowned, wanting to say something to Taro, but Rupa forcefully interrupted their conversation: "Mr. Momoi, what are you doing now?"

“Dinner for five people.” Taro didn’t think anything was wrong with Rupa’s interruption and just gave a normal reply.

"Wow, he looks very skilled," Rupa said curiously as she watched Taro cook, chatting with him casually.

Xiao Zhi didn't have a chance to speak, but silently walked to the table and hugged the pet snake on the table to his chest.

Back in her own room... or rather, her and Rupa's temporary room. Although Rin said the landlord said it was fine for them to sleep in two rooms, Rupa and Satoshi decided to share a room so as not to cause trouble for others.

Although it was already late at night, Xiaozhi had no intention of turning on the lights.

She curled up in the corner of the room, interacting with the corn snake inside the incubator through her fingers, and whispered, "You're a troublesome child too."

The little snake gently flicked its tongue, touching the spot where Ash was pressing on the incubator, as if comforting Ash.

In the quiet room, the only sounds were Rupa and Taro's increasingly loud discussion about cooking, and Nina and Momoka arguing.

Give a little help to the Wuhan University incident

I didn't originally intend to speak up during a favorable situation, but after seeing this paper published by a professor from Wuhan University's Law School, I feel it's really necessary to spread the word. It should still be able to get some updates.

Dong, Chapter Twenty-Six, Morning Star

Mitsuba Hatsune... no, she should be called Mitsuba Hatsune (older sister). At this moment, she is looking at the moon.

Upon learning from Momoi Taro that Mikami Hatsuka had indeed come to Tokyo, Hatsune's feelings at that moment were hard to describe.

Regret? Fear? It's more than that. What would have happened if Chu Hua had met Xiang Zi?

Xiangzi will find out that I am a despicable thief... I will never be able to come to Xiao Xiang's side again, and I will never be able to get close to Xiao Xiang again.

Why? Why is fate so cruel to me?

Hatsune squatted by the window, hugging her knees and leaning tightly against the wall. Her face was filled with sorrow as she lowered her head and buried it in her knees, quietly basking in the moonlight.

It's rare that Xiaoxiang and I can be so close. Soon we'll be forming Avemujica, and soon we can be together all the time—

Why—why—why did you come?!

Hatsune silently questioned Hatsuka in her mind, "You weren't that obsessed with Sho, were you? Why can't you just stay on the island?"

Don't take Xiao Xiang away from me!

Hatsune bit her lip tightly, and bright red blood dripped from her lips, filling her mouth with the metallic taste of blood, but Hatsune didn't seem to care at all.

More important than these things is how to get Chuhua back, or at least keep her away from Xiaoxiang.

Think carefully—Hatsune Miku, everything you can think of, you absolutely must think of—

A person's face suddenly entered Hatsune Miku's mind.

Momoi Taro——

Although she was very unwilling, Xiangzi clearly liked him. If it were Momoi Taro... Xiangzi would listen to him.

Then, Hatsuka also knows Taro, so if Taro can help her, this matter will be easily resolved.

But the problem is... why should Momoi Taro listen to me?

She racked her brains... but she couldn't imagine the possibility that Momoi Taro would listen to her.

She could only look up at the moon and whisper, "Xiao Xiang, what should I do..."

As Hatsune Miku murmured and looked up at the moon, another person was also looking at the moon at the same time.

Toyokawa Shoko sat at her desk, gazing up at the moon in the sky. Gently, she opened the window.

The moonlight poured down like mercury, casting a milky white halo around Toyokawa Shoko as she sat at her desk. A gentle breeze caressed Toyokawa Shoko, causing her two pale blue ponytails to sway slightly in the air.

She quietly stretched out her hand, palm outstretched towards the moon. The silvery moonlight shone into Toyokawa Shoko's palm, as if a spring of moonlight were cradled in her hands.

Xiangzi gently clenched his fists, as if tightening something, then clasped his hands together at his collar, closed his eyes, and sang with deep emotion:

“I am—the noble Oblivionis, I am fearless of being forgotten.”

After a while, Xiao Xiang secretly opened his eyes and looked around. When he didn't see anyone, he breathed a sigh of relief.

　As long as the sun rises, I will forget everything from yesterday. Xiao Xiang revealed a smile of forgetting everything.

However, she quickly calmed down, although the criteria for choosing a partner that Momoi Taro told her were a bit of a blow to her.

But to be honest, she actually felt relieved, realizing that she didn't actually meet her senior's aesthetic standards...

You think she'd give up? Don't be ridiculous! It's just a matter of differing tastes! Who do you think she is? She's the noble Oblivionis!

"Mere aesthetics? Just rape him!" Xiao Xiang, caught up in his berserk state, was completely unaware of the wildness of his inner thoughts.

However, thanks to this slight setback, she seemed to understand how to write lyrics for the melody her senior had given her.

She had at least a slight direction... but she still needed to rely on her companions' talents.

Although it's true that the piece of music was given to me by my senior, which is very precious, it doesn't mean that I can't rely on the strength of my companions.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but laugh at herself... If she were the person before she was saved by everyone in Mygo, she would definitely fight to the death with all her strength.

Even if she reaches a dead end and can't think of a single word for half a month, she would never ask anyone for help because of her pride.

But now... I guess my senior's music is more important than my excessive pride.

She stared at the copies of the sheet music neatly arranged on the desk, lost in thought. Then, she slightly raised her head to look at the moon… and the stars beside it.

She gazed thoughtfully at the bright star in the night sky—the Morning Star—and smiled.
