"What do you mean? Do it or not?"
"Dry!!!"
……
Half an hour later, the two ships set sail. Kitahara Iori, who was able to witness Aina and Kohei make further progress, stood on the wooden stump on the deck with a gratified smile on her face.
He turned around with a flourish, mimicking a chivalrous swordsman concealing his achievements, and pulled out his phone from his pocket—[Kouhei might be getting a girlfriend!] (mass message)
Ha! Did you think he'd honestly offer his blessings? Dream on!
Not only did these guys leave, leaving me with a mountain of chores, but if Kohei really became me, I'd probably be the only freshman in the Pab club with no one to love me! Unforgivable!
Her facial expression twisted, and the aura of jealousy emanating from Iori made Kujo Maki, who was passing by, tremble—"That Iori, did he get dumped? Speaking of which, he and Kohei seem to be on very good terms!"
Chapter 306 The Neon Lights Finally Went Mad to an Incomprehensible State!
"Mr. Yuichi! How do you maintain your passion for voice acting while working out? What is the deepest motivation behind this?!"
"Hmm...it should be love, right?"
On the television screen, Chi Yueyong stood on the ship's railing, his long hair fluttering in the wind, and he gazed affectionately at his fiancée in the sea breeze, his eyes filled with a tender, oversaturated solution.
“Yukari has been a support for me for a long time, so I repay her with love!”
"Yuichi!"
"I see! What a deeply moving story!"
The camera panned up and down twice, as if the photographer was also moved by the deeply touching story. Finally, amidst the turbulence of the waves, Dolphin's promotional video officially came to an end.
As Yu Miyazawa pressed the channel change button on the remote, the theme song for the magical girl Lalako began to play, and he tossed the remote into Kohei's hands.
"As you can see, this is the promotional video that the director meticulously edited for us in a rush. What do you think?"
"Clap clap clap... How should I put it?"
The entire room fell silent. She sat frozen on the sofa, unable to recover from the shock of her eyes exploding. Finally, Kujo Maki managed a half-hearted clap, "Very unique?"
"Indeed, the only problem is how this kind of thing even passed censorship! Is this something that can be broadcast on television?"
With a bang, Miyazawa Yu watched as the coffee table's health bar plummeted by 1 and it turned into an enemy state with Iori. So he offered a perfunctory consolation: "It's okay, they're not going to take it down for us anyway."
"You actually consider avoiding being taken down as your goal? You bastard!"
"Well, you all didn't have any complaints during the filming, so why are you all blaming me now?"
Regardless of what Iori thought, Miyazawa Yu responded to all the disdainful looks with dissatisfaction, and finally turned to his mother-in-law with a fawning smile.
"How was it, Mother-in-law? The filming was a complete success thanks to our joint efforts!"
"Please don't include us! It's too obsequious!"
"Is this what true colors are! How shameless..."
They all got up from the sofa and distanced themselves from Miyazawa Yu. Whether it was the truly innocent Chisa or the feigningly innocent Kohei, neither of them wanted to admit that the thing on TV had anything to do with them.
To be honest, putting this kind of thing on screen carries a certain element of revenge against society.
The ever-present mosaic seems to be the most ruthless mockery of humanity's bottom line! It smears the niche Pab spirit onto the entire face of Japan.
As for Sayaka Kotekawa...
"Yes, thank you all so much for your help!"
"what!"
Squeezed against the armrests of the sofa, shivering, Kujo Maki and the head waitress felt as if the air around them was being sucked away, and no matter how hard they tried to breathe, they couldn't catch their breath!
Is this the oppressive aura of the strong? To be able to create an absolute dead zone in the human world is simply terrifying!
"Come on, Yu, let's go inside and talk about the reward! How about it?"
From the moment she turned on the TV and crossed her legs, she transformed into a furious woman with her hands on her knees. Sayako Kotekawa disregarded whether her daughter was beside her, looked up, pointed to the room behind her, and tried to close the door to hit her child.
This guy was just too shy to interact with his daughter and ran away for a little while, and he turned the interview into this mess!
Recalling how many people she had treated to meals and how many favors she had to do to prepare for the interview, she felt a pang of heartache, her cheekbones clenched tightly, and her little finger trembled uncontrollably!
"Hiss... My gut tells me it's best not to follow them, Mother-in-law!"
"Your intuition is pretty accurate! Come here!"
"Wait! Wait! I can explain, at least let me explain!"
Pulled backward by his legs, Miyazawa Yu hugged Nanaka, who looked distressed, and struggled desperately to try and win a chance to explain.
"I don't know why, but I always feel awkward like I'm going to a friend's house to play, only to find that he's being beaten by his parents."
"To be honest, that's true!"
"Hoo... Hmm?"
Hearing that Kohei and Iori dared to say such things, Kotekawa Sayaka glared at them fiercely, her sharp gaze causing the two scoundrels to each move a few centimeters closer to Mana and Chisa.
Although Yu is resilient, he is still just a mortal without transforming.
If his aunt isn't satisfied with killing him and keeps causing trouble for him, they need to have some readily available fixation tools on hand!
"Phew—! Tell me! If it weren't for the good news, even Nanaka couldn't have saved you!"
"Yes, yes, yes! The director called me, the viewership ratings are off the charts! They've surpassed other investigative programs in the same time slot by 87%!"
"Isn't this even more embarrassing! What kind of good news is this!"
"Of course it's good news, Mother-in-law! No matter what, even if it's embarrassing and gets you infamous, it's still fame. As long as you have customers, isn't that enough for business?"
The force on his leg eased, and Miyazawa Yu didn't have time to react before his knee slammed into the ground. The numbness in both legs was triggered, and the tingling sensation made him roll his eyes back—"Eh!"
"Be careful, Yu, did you hurt yourself? And that expression is so cute..."
She pulled her boyfriend onto the sofa, but there wasn't much space on the single sofa, so Nanaka Kotegawa could only carry him in a princess carry position so that he could lie on her lap, while her legs dangled off the sofa.
On the other side, walking up to the ground and spreading his hands, Kotekawa Sayaka squinted and gave him a look that said, "You'll understand."
The latter immediately understood, and despite the fact that Lala's live stream was still playing, he obediently handed over the TV remote control—just kidding, although Lala's life was more important than his own, she was still a little brother in front of Aunt Sayaka!
"You mean, this art form that floats with the sea is actually widely accepted?"
Replaying the recording of the previous program, Sayako Kotekawa squinted and the more she watched, the more she felt that Yuu might be lying to her just to save his life!
If this kind of thing is so widely accepted, have all the normal people in Japan died out?
"Hmm, and Yuichi is also called something like 'Atypical NEET Showa Sunny Youth of the New Era in Japan'?"
Nodding firmly to show that he was not lying, Miyazawa Yu assured that probably no one in idol groups is more popular than Ikegoshi Yuichi right now!
While Pab's behavior is difficult for people to accept or imitate in real life, the online world has created a greater distance, and the nonsensical behavior of drinking alcohol in the O-body happens to resonate with the mental state of young people in Japan.
In addition, Yuichi is good-looking and has established a persona of liking diving and sports, so he is also very popular with the authorities.
"They say that although he's not quite right in the head, compared to NEETs who stink at home and no one notices, the propaganda department still prefers his type!"
"It's true! Mr. Chi Yue's Baidu Baike (Chinese Wikipedia) tags have also been changed, exactly the same as what You said!"
Whether it's true or false is irrelevant; in the information age, a simple search on a mobile phone by Aina Yoshihara reveals the full impact of this episode and the reversal in Yuichi Ikegoshi's public image.
Seeing that the company had climbed to the tenth spot on the trending searches purely through its own merits without buying any hype, and with the Dolphin tag above it, Saya Kotekawa could only acknowledge the hard work of her employees, even though she didn't understand it.
"Looks like it's had a publicity effect, John! Time for a celebration!"
"It's already been prepared!"
John peeked half his head out from the kitchen, realizing that his boss was all bark and no bite; he had clearly asked him to prepare a celebration banquet, but instead he insisted on "testing" the employees.
With limited time and heavy workload, he didn't actually cook many dishes himself; most of the food was pre-delivered takeout. But beer and soft drinks were plentiful!
"Long live the store manager!"
"Oh! There's sake, Iori. Today's hard work really paid off!"
"You idiot, I clearly did the vast majority of the work!"
The suffocating atmosphere of interrogation vanished without a trace. Kitahara Iori and Imamura Kohei, sprang from the sofa and ran off to help serve the dishes, beer in hand.
Relieved, Chisa Kotegawa was glad that her mother was still in a good mood. Savoring the belated concern, she tentatively reached out her hand to her.
"Mom, let's go eat! You must be tired today!"
"……Um."
She stood up, using sunglasses and her height to conceal her panic. After thinking for a long time, Kotekawa Sayaka finally turned around and grasped Chisa's hand, as if turning her back could maintain her cold and aloof persona.
"!!!"
A smile instantly filled Chisa's face; it was a look of contentment that Kotegawa Nanaka hadn't seen in a long time.
Reaching out, she grasped Yu's hand and intertwined their fingers. She leaned back on the sofa, feeling weak and happy, and her soft voice could only be heard by Yu.
"Thank you, Yu! Chisa is so happy!"
"Huh? But all I can see here is Nanaka-nee's smile, she's so beautiful!"
"Bad guy~"
Chapter 307 My Mother-in-Law's Constant Breathing~
"We'll be going now, see you tomorrow, and don't forget to be on time for work!"
Around 10 p.m., Kujo Maki carried the heavily intoxicated head waitress out of the villa's gate.
Looking inside, the shopkeeper was already holding Chisa, and the two of them were both slightly drunk. As for Iori and Kohei, they were completely drunk.
Why do people who are usually quite reliable drink so much alcohol? If these people don't wake up tomorrow, Dolphin might as well just close down!
"Be careful on the road, or should I take you home first?"
"No need! No need, it's just a short walk. You should hurry up and deal with the people inside. Bye-bye!"
Watching the girl carry the foreman and run away quickly, Miyazawa Yu made sure at the door that the girl's steps were steady and that she wasn't drunk before she felt relieved and went into the room to start cleaning up the mess.
First of all, the respected store manager, I don't know if it's because the store has been promoted, or because she's so happy that her daughter is willing to drink with her, she's completely drunk and clings to Chisa and won't let go.
The sunglasses that usually look cool and ruthless are hanging loosely on the tip of his nose, which is not scary at all, but even a little... cute?
They really are alike, even their ability to fall asleep is extremely similar!
"Manager, manager, wake up! We need to go home, or we'll cause trouble for our lovely employees!"
"okay."
Having received a response, Miyazawa Yu sighed with relief that his mother-in-law was at least still communicative, and it seemed that the mess shouldn't be too difficult to clean up.
Thinking this, he naturally put his hand on Sayako Kotegawa's shoulder, intending to manually separate her from Chisa so he could take her back to the rented house.
however……
"Ha ha--!"
Miyazawa Yu quickly withdrew his hand, his eyes widened, and he picked at his ear before he dared to confirm that the voice had come from his subordinate's mother-in-law.
This isn't right, isn't it? Didn't we already agree to go home? Why is your breath still wafting out?
He paused for two seconds and reached out again...
"ha--!"
"Mother-in-law, please stop arguing. We really should go. There are no rooms available for us to sleep in!"
"Okay, let's go..."
Reaching out again...
"ha--!"
Sitting cross-legged on the ground with his head tilted to the side, Miyazawa Yu felt like he had been tricked, and the evidence was so complete that there was even a control group!
Does this mean that when my mother-in-law is drunk, she becomes passive and agrees to whatever anyone says?
"Mother-in-law, actually, Kohei and the others want to take two days off tomorrow or something?"
"Give!"
"A raise..."
"add!"
After repeated experiments, Miyazawa Yu stopped recording on his phone, a glint of wisdom flashing in his eyes—he had completely figured out his mother-in-law's personality!
