After Xiangzi died, I inherited her harem.

If Momo feels helpless and unable to offer help, the very reason for his existence will be shaken.

If they really can't come up with a solution, and Wakaba Mutsu is forced to go against her own wishes and ask Toyokawa Yuu and Toyokawa Shoko for help, she might end up being pushed out to take the fall.

Even though he was outgoing and sociable, Metis didn't want to be subjected to those awkward stares.

However, it's definitely not right to let Xiaomu continue to be so helpless.

If I can't help Xiaomu, if Xiaomu thinks I'm no longer needed...

Metis shivered and looked around in the dimly lit mental space, trying to find a way to help Wakaba Mutsu.

[Dongdongdong——]

A soft sound quietly spread through the mental space.

Metis looked towards the source of the sound and discovered that it was the mirror that Ruoye Mu had tried so hard to stuff the other one of them into.

A girl holding a phone in her hand silently taps on the mirror.

The golden eyes shone brightly in the dimming world.

"Hey, Xiao Mu, how about we ask Yu Mu how she is?"

Metis pointed to Yu Mu, who was gently tapping the mirror, and felt as if he had suddenly grasped a lifeline.

What Xiao Mu and I can't do, Yu Mu might be able to do.

Perhaps, we can use this opportunity to get Xiao Mu to release Yu Mu.

"Wasn't Yumu created based on Mr. Youyu? Mr. Youyu handles this kind of thing with ease, so maybe Yumu also knows what to do."

Metis tried to make her voice sound cheerful yet natural, knowing that Ruoye Mu was very wary of Yu Mu.

Whether it was pushing herself off the building at the very beginning or fighting over the guitar at the concert, Xiao Mu harbored a certain degree of hostility towards Yu Mu.

If there hadn't been absolutely no other way to get rid of it, Xiao Mu might have done more than just lock Yu Mu inside the mirror.

Therefore, Metis should try to act naturally and not let Wakaba Mutsu notice his inner thoughts.

"Yu Mu..."

Ruoye Mu turned to look at the mirror that had sealed Yu Mu away. At this moment, the newly formed personality had gradually broken free from the obsession with the phone.

His palms kept slapping against the mirror, as if he was trying to escape from the cage that had imprisoned him.

Only after realizing that this place was practically a prison tailor-made for her, and that she couldn't escape on her own, did she gradually calm down, her golden eyes fixed on Wakaba Mutsu outside the mirror.

After hesitating for a moment, Ruo Yemu stuck the not-so-thick stack of papers in her hand onto the mirror.

"Could I ask you for a favor, Yumu...?"

Golden eyes stared intently at Wakaba Mutsu, who looked exactly like her, outside the mirror.

Yu Mu narrowed her eyes slightly, then slowly nodded, extending her palm and placing it on the mirror.

The paper and the palm touched through the mirror, gradually crossing the boundaries of the prison.

"Give it to me..."

In Ave Mujica's office, "Wakaba Mutsu" murmured softly, her fingers no longer gripping the pen with such force, and she even seemed somewhat at ease.

Lowering his head, under Toyokawa Shoko's somewhat surprised gaze, "Wakaba Mutsumi" began to focus on the documents in front of him without hesitation.

"This is......"

Sitting on the sofa, Hachiman Kairin stared wide-eyed in surprise at the desk, not quite understanding why Wakaba Mutsumi, who had seemed at a loss just moments before, had suddenly become so adept at handling things.

Originally, she had planned to go over and help.

After all, neither Toyokawa Shoko nor Toyokawa Yuu seemed to know how to teach and train. Shoko's demonstration and explanation to Wakaba Mutsu just now was full of mistakes in Hachiman Kairin's ears.

It wasn't that Xiangzi was giving orders to experts when she was an amateur; she had been in charge of some of the work before Toyokawa Yuu arrived. She just wasn't sure how to express it in a way that would be easier for people to understand.

But now, it seems like they don't need me anymore.

"Youyu, this is..."

Yawata Kairin wasn't the only one who was surprised.

Toyokawa Shoko pulled Toyokawa Yuu back two steps to avoid disturbing Wakaba Mutsu, who seemed to have suddenly changed. She turned to look at her fiancé, her amber eyes seeming to want to confirm something.

She remembered what Toyokawa Yuu had said to her during their previous argument.

Sometimes, the Mutsuka Wakaba who appears in front of her is not the Mutsuka she knows.

"Hmm...it should be."

Lowering her voice as well, Toyokawa Yuu's gaze was also fixed on "Wakaba Mutsumi," who was holding a pen and readily agreeing with her.

He could also sense that the girl with light green hair in front of him was a completely different person, definitely not the girl he had skipped class and played with all afternoon.

Moreover, judging from his personality, he doesn't seem like Metis; he's more like the personality who argued with Toyokawa Shoko backstage at the concert.

Yes, that's the personality I've been searching for.

Did she actually show up at this time?

Moreover, it seems that this time, Wakaba Mutsu did not show the kind of struggle that seemed to be fighting with both sides. The two personalities seemed to have handed over control of the body very peacefully.

But was Ye Mu's purpose in relinquishing control... merely to appease these documents?

It seems that the pressure that Xiangzi and I put on her was indeed too much.

With a silent sigh, Toyokawa Yuu reached out and pressed Toyokawa Shoko's shoulder, stopping her from speaking directly.

Chapter 87 What I Want, You Can't Give Me (9k)

This isn't the Mutsu I know...

When Shoko Toyokawa saw Mutsumi Wakaba, who was initially at a loss, effortlessly handling all kinds of tasks at her desk with Yuu Toyokawa's pen, such a thought inevitably flashed through her mind.

After being reminded by Toyokawa Yuu, she gradually realized that sometimes Wakaba Mutsumi's behavior was not like the familiar other half of her.

Shoko Toyokawa opened her mouth, instinctively wanting to ask a question, but then felt a hand on her shoulder.

The boy's hand gripped her tightly, so tightly that even Toyokawa Shoko felt a slight pain.

Naturally, the sound that was about to be uttered was thus interrupted.

Turning her head, Toyokawa Shoko looked at her fiancé, a questioning look flashing in her eyes.

Mu's current state is clearly not right. Rather than dealing with the so-called work, it should be more important to figure out what happened first.

However, faced with Toyokawa Shoko's puzzled look, Toyokawa Yuu simply shook her head, indicating that she should not disturb Wakaba Mutsu.

He didn't understand why Wakaba Mutsuki would choose to unleash this personality, but he knew that what made Wakaba Mutsuki make this choice was precisely what he and Toyokawa Shoko had asked of her.

Perhaps it was precisely because of this desire for help that the two personalities did not fight over control of the body as they had in the past.

In situations like these, tacit agreement is the better choice.

If we expose her directly at this point, not only might Wakaba Mutsu be plunged back into the fierce competition of the past, but the girl's idea of ​​completing the work even if it means temporarily giving up her body will also be impossible to realize.

It's possible that, just like right after the previous concert ended, it will once again escalate into an argument and end on bad terms.

We've already argued several times today, and Toyokawa Yuu really doesn't want her brain to get caught up in that overly lively atmosphere anymore.

Since things have already progressed to this point, there's no need to stir up new trouble at this time.

Rather than letting everyone gain nothing, it's more appropriate to reassure everyone at this time.

Even a galactic warship will eventually fall apart if it is constantly exposed to wind and rain.

Moreover, this may not necessarily be a bad thing for oneself.

Since Wakaba Mutsu relies on this personality to handle her work, it means she has at least mastered a method to make this personality appear stably.

I can wait until Wakaba Mutsu's mental state is more stable before communicating with this personality in this way, which can reduce the burden on the girl as much as possible.

and......

Looking at "Wakaba Mutsumi" who was engrossed in her work at the desk, a thought suddenly arose in Toyokawa Yuu's mind.

If this personality can persist for another ten years, could it help Wakaba Mutsumi better control the Wakaba family?

At least, don't let yourself end up isolated and helpless again.

"password......"

As she was pondering, an indifferent voice reached Toyokawa Yuu's ears.

He shifted his gaze from Toyokawa Shoko and noticed that Wakaba Mutsu, who had been writing on paper with a pen just moments before, had turned on her computer, and the lock screen was displayed in front of her.

The golden eyes lacked both the obedience of Ruoye Mu and the liveliness of Metis ten years later; they simply gazed quietly into Toyokawa Yuu's eyes, as if trying to understand something.

“Ave Mujica.”

Feeling a bit strange being stared at by "Wakaba Mutsu," Toyokawa Yuu subconsciously frowned, but still managed to utter a string of letters.

Recalling the somewhat fierce look "Wakaba Mutsumi" gave me when I gave up trying to bring out that personality at noon today... I have a feeling that "Wakaba Mutsumi's" attitude towards me is a bit strange.

Unaware of Toyokawa Yuu's thoughts, even after obtaining the computer password, "Wakaba Mutsumi" did not immediately turn around and immerse herself in her work.

After staring at Toyokawa Yuu's eyes with that strange look for a while, "Wakaba Mutsu" turned around again, her fingertips moving across the keyboard, leaving a series of crisp tapping sounds.

However, compared to the fluent movements of his hands, "Wakaba Mutsumi's" gaze became extremely unfocused after he turned around, as if he had started to drift off again.

Her golden eyes seemed veiled in mist; if someone looked closely into them, they might even doubt whether she was truly focused on her work.

"Yumu, you're amazing!"

In Ruoye Mu's mental realm, Metis looked at the television sets piled up like a wall in front of him, his golden eyes radiating a light that resembled worship.

The screen, reflecting external information, was displaying "Wakaba Mutsumi's" fluent movements.

She gradually became dissatisfied with merely fiddling with pens and paper. After working on it to a certain extent, she even turned on the computer on her desk, and took the time to open the address book in the drawer. After finding a few contact methods, she made a few calls using the landline on the desktop.

Her fluent speech, while not as lively, cute, or endearing as I am, is not as taciturn as Xiao Mu. It exudes a businesslike politeness, yet is quite efficient and concise.

Judging from the reply on the other end of the phone, it was clear that an agreement had been reached with the other party.

After all, while it's called "handling work," an agent's responsibilities go far beyond simply arranging schedules; it's not something that can be accomplished by just writing a few words on paper.

Business-related networking and communication are equally essential.

In the shared memory of Metis and Wakaba Mutsu, on the eve of the formation of Ave Mujica, Toyokawa Shoko was also extremely busy.

Neither she nor Xiao Mu could do such a thing.

Metis looked at the image of "Wakaba Mutsu" displayed on the screen. The way he sat in the office chair was just like... Mr. Yuu.

Jumping up from the sofa, Metis turned to look at the mirror behind him, where Xiao Mu and Yu Mu were standing facing each other across the mirror.

If Ye Mu's hand, holding a stack of papers, had already reached into the mirror, Yu Mu would gently grasp her wrist while her other hand firmly held the phone.

"Look, Xiao Mu, Yu Mu is very capable, and she's also a helpful and obedient girl."

He flipped over the sofa and came to Ruoye Mu's side, his voice tinged with smugness.

The feeling of helplessness that had just overwhelmed her had disappeared. With Yu Mu's appearance and the solution to the problem, Ruo Ye Mu no longer felt helpless, and her reason for being a protective personality would no longer be shaken.

Although Yu Mu helped with the work... I came up with the idea myself, so I guess I deserve some credit too.

"How about it, Xiao Mu? Why don't we let Yu Mu out? Keeping such a good child locked in the mirror is just too much."

Upon hearing Metis's suggestion, Ruoye Mu's fingertips trembled, and his thoughts seemed to waver.

Although Yu Mu always tries to seize control of her body, she almost causes trouble several times.

But tonight, without her, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to complete these tasks smoothly.

In that case, I would disappoint Xiangzi and Youyu.

Moreover, since he has taken on these jobs, he will definitely need her help in the future, and it would be very inconvenient to keep her locked up all the time.

However, if we release Yu Mu, what if something like what happened at the concert last time occurs again...?

"Thank you... Yumu."

Although she hadn't made up her mind yet, it didn't stop Ruoye Mu from thanking Yu Mu, while slowly pulling her hand out of the mirror.

She had finished all the work on her desk, and now she needed to coordinate the relationship between Toyokawa Shoko and Toyokawa Yuu.

Strangely enough, after I sat in Toyokawa Yuu's office chair, the two people who had been at odds not long before actually began to stand together patiently, jointly instructing me on how to handle some tasks.

The mouthpiece... seems to do more than just deepen the rift between them.

If that's the case, then shouldn't I...?
