The ultimate solution that instantly clarifies everything, but faced with RUPA's heartwarming suggestion, all three scoundrels, including Miyazawa Yu, awkwardly pretended not to hear it!
Seeing that RUPA wanted to say something more, Momoka Kawahara knelt down and gently inserted the foil-wrapped straw for sake into the latter's mouth.
Subconsciously, he swallowed the drink twice, and poor Rupa was sent away again by the evil Momoka as soon as he woke up!
"Alright! I've had enough! You two! Since we can't continue this drinking contest..."
Frowning, he flashed into the crowd of girls, a fierce look of resentment flashing in Miyazawa Yu's eyes. He grabbed Busujima Kyoko's shoulder, his whole demeanor like a hero holding a bomb, ready to die a heroic death.
Let's look at the facts! Let's see whose parenting style is more reasonable!
"Ugh?"
A confused voice escaped her throat as Kyoko Busujima turned to look at the muscular behemoth behind her, wanting to run away but not daring to.
Besides, she and Yuoni-chan are only two or three years apart, so why should she be dragged into this so-called parenting issue?
She originally thought that the parenting issue was something that Yuoni-chan, a popular person, was discussing with two mature older women about adult issues related to having children after marriage!
"Huh? Let's talk facts, shall we? Then our Hongxia won't lose!"
"Onee-chan, you're really drunk! You stink!"
"Me too, how could I possibly lose to someone like you who has no dreams to back me up!"
"I also want?"
After a cloud of smoke from the alcohol, Ijichi Nikka and Isera Nina, with question marks on their heads, were dragged into the house by their patriarch.
Of course, the two also tried to cling to the door frame and beg for help, but to little avail. Neither Subaru nor the sound engineer had the guts to snatch the person from the hands of the drunk and terrifying woman.
Besides, it seems that if the drunkards aren't satisfied, they probably won't stop this dispute quietly. In that case, the three little ones might as well make a sacrifice!
"In that case, I'll be the first one!"
Inside the room, Kawara Momoka, drunk, first grabbed Nina in her arms and spoke forcefully, the stench of alcohol on her breath making the latter tilt her head back.
"This kid was really naughty when he first came to Tokyo, but now he's a fantastic lead singer in a band! And we even got a job offer from a talent agency!"
"Huh? Offers are rare, but they can't put food on the table!"
With a slam of his hand on the table, Miyazawa Yu was extremely dissatisfied with Momoka's overly idealistic and romantic mindset!
Children need stability for their development. Given Japan's current economic situation, lifetime employment is a thing of the past.
Changing jobs every two or three years is the norm in turbulent times, and this is especially true for bands. How can a girl band make a living off their youth for a lifetime?
"I've said it before! Education, especially in the sciences, is the most important asset. Your brain might lie, but your hands won't! So you can't give up on studying!"
"That's right! This is where our Hongxia comes in. The band is fantasticly formed, and their performance hasn't suffered at all~ Right~☆"
"Uh...that's certainly true..."
The proud older sister actually admitted for the first time that her band was great, which really pleased Ichiji Nijika, provided that she wasn't in such a drunken state.
Based on her judgment, whatever was said tonight, Onee-chan would probably blush and deny it tomorrow, after all, she's a proud and delicate woman!
"No way! Multitasking is extremely energy-consuming. Wouldn't it be better to start a band in high school and then carve out a lot of your available time in college?"
Waving her fingers, Miyazawa Yu crossed her arms and gave Hoshika, who was obsessed with her younger sister, a hardcore expression that said, "I see you don't understand at all."
Ultimately, university is the most relaxed place and the place where you can see your future most clearly. Compared to starting your life with a band in high school and having to deal with the pressure of college entrance exams, it is obviously more cost-effective to go to university first!
Like the members of the Pab Club, everyone is very passionate about diving, but Senior Kotobuki and Senior Higashi are preparing for graduate school entrance exams, while Senior Tokita has already started looking for a job.
People from all over the world are working hard, but diving connects them all – that's the healthiest hobby!
"In contrast, I've already decided to pursue higher education. After that, I'll be in a completely new and exciting environment, so it's perfectly fine to pursue my interests at that point!"
"Damn it! I've already told you not to underestimate your dreams! If you don't immediately work towards your chosen direction, everything will vanish!"
"You diploma collector! I'm going to correct you!"
"..."
Seeing Miyazawa Yu and Kawara Momoka at each other's throats, both looking like they wanted to shake the other's brains to smithereens, Busujima Sakurako finally understood what these guys were arguing about, her face full of speechlessness.
"Ah~ it's a war between idealists, realists, and normalists!"
"Huh? What do you mean?"
With a clear yet foolish expression, Hiroi Kikuri had been so focused on saving her own life for the past few hours that she hadn't really understood why Yu and Hoshino were arguing.
Seeing that college students younger than herself understood everything in a matter of seconds, she opened her big, watery eyes and humbly asked for help.
"It's very simple. Yu thinks academic qualifications are more important. As for the other two, one supports pursuing dreams freely, while the other prefers stability but may result in mediocrity."
"I see……"
She nodded foolishly, and Hiroi Kikuri's big, watery eyes became even more shiny and glistening.
She raised the last bottle of liquor, wrapped in tinfoil, and drank it down in a frenzy. As she drank, she kept apologizing and begging for forgiveness: "I am so sorry! I actually accepted something so cruel without permission. I'm going to start the cycle of happiness right now!"
"It's when you drink too much alcohol that you should apologize to your body! But..."
After only managing to utter a single, sarcastic comment about the Hamaoka Azusa (pro+depressed) version, Busujima Sakurako looked around the room with a headache.
Ultimately, no one present cared about the final outcome except for the three drunkards who were locked in a three-way standoff. What mattered was how to get them to calm down, accept the arrangements, and then take the person back!
Moreover, even if they were to fight, judging from the attack power of the two adult women and You's health, they might not be able to break through her defense even after a whole day of scraping!
What's needed now is someone strong enough and a bit too assertive to break the deadlock!
"Wait!"
With her arms outstretched between the muscular man and Sister Momoka, the prop Jingqin Rencai, who was being used, had somehow managed to belittle herself in a corner where no one was watching, and had successfully entered a state of exhaling black smoke!
Her thin arms looked like sticks compared to the terrifying behemoth, but the girl still bravely spoke up for the person she cared about: "Are you... looking down on our band by saying that! You can't talk about Momoka-nee like that!"
"Ugh?"
Looking at the crying girl in front of him, Miyazawa Yu's mind went blank for a moment, and he tried to read the operation guide from memory: "Everything was fine until someone really got angry!"
Unfortunately, in the Pab section, I only got a couple of complaints from Mana. After opening the Layers of Brain folder, the last page was completely empty—it seemed I hadn't installed the Breathing DLC!
A loading bar started rolling in my vision, then a "Page Not Responding!" message popped up!
Chapter 272, the Breath DLC, is full of bugs!!
"Momoka has already tried her best! It's not her fault that she dropped out of high school before finishing!"
"Nina, you don't really need to shout about this so loudly..."
Seeing that her little one was completely stumped by Miyazawa Yu, Kawara Momoka was about to say a few words of advice when she was stabbed in the heart by the sharp sword that followed.
Two streams of bloody tears silently streamed down his face. While that might not be the most accurate description, it was undeniable that he had the lowest level of education among those present, including the children—a truly heartbreaking fact.
"Manager Hoshino..."
"Don't look at me like this. Even though I'm like this now, I still went to university. Hongxia is already preparing to go to her second year of high school!"
She didn't want to be dragged down to the same level to seek recognition. When she was drunk, Ichiji Hoshika liked to hug something, and now that her own Ichimoku was handy, it was convenient for her.
Suppressing the Doritos that were obstructing her view, she added, as a fellow drinker, even though she didn't agree with her, "By the way, not finishing high school was really too risky. Yu and I have always been on each other's side on that point!"
"Ugh……"
Unable to gain recognition, she instead learned that even the little girl Nijika was about to surpass her in school age. Kawara Momoka narrowed her eyes and condemned the blond little girl for two seconds before tilting her head and smiling in relief.
Anyway, pursuing her dreams was her own choice, and she doesn't regret it, so there's nothing to complain about now.
However, Izare Jinna disagreed. Seeing Momoka's slightly relieved expression, she keenly noticed the change in the other person's emotions, although her analytical skills were somewhat lacking.
"Waaah... Even though you went to university, you didn't have the same experiences! How can you judge someone else's life so arbitrarily!"
Clenching her fists, she linked Tao Xiang's relief with her helplessness, and immediately her anger surged. She bared her little tiger teeth fiercely and stood on tiptoe to face the muscular behemoth.
"Is that so?"
His eyes darted around, and although there was no corresponding DLC, Miyazawa Yu's alcohol-fueled young CPU continued to work hard to help him deal with the situation at hand.
Staring into the eyes of Jingqin Rencai, which were filled with resentment and a strong sense of rebellion, he hesitated for two seconds before abandoning Xingzi in his arms. Then, with her eyes closed in a tense moment, he placed his large hand on the top of her head.
"Although I don't know exactly what happened to you, my opinion remains unchanged: a degree may not be used, but it's always safer to have it!"
"But……"
"But at the same time, I'm willing to apologize if Momoka-chan is angry~"
"Don't drag me into your camp without my permission, but Nina..."
Receiving a knowing look from Yu, Momoka Kawahara made a knowing remark, then stood up and pulled the little guy with black and red quills on his back into her arms, whispering, "I'm not angry, and besides, debates at the dinner table shouldn't involve emotions, otherwise you're just a sore loser!"
"But Momoka-nee has already worked so hard! And she still has to argue with others because of me..."
"I've already said it's not an argument~"
It seemed like he'd spotted Aina, who had just joined the Pab club. Miyazawa Yu scratched the back of his head helplessly, feeling like there were more and more problematic girls around him.
Having just corrected Mana's views on love and put her on the right track with Kohei, she's now encountered an even more troublesome little hedgehog.
However, since she is a child of the Momoka family, she is practically no different from a member of the Pab club, so he doesn't mind giving her some psychological counseling as well.
"Since you just said those things, please tell me what happened. That way, you can really slap me in the face!"
"emmm..."
Enraged by Miyazawa Yu's coaxing tone towards a child, Iori Rina puffed out her cheeks like a pufferfish. She hated this kind of self-righteous jerk who thought he could handle everyone around him!
After all, my own suffering isn't like this kind of "socially successful" person's...
"I see, you were physically bullied? Kyoko, there's a senior here, do you want to say hello?"
"..."
After listening to Nina's description and Yu's lame joke, Kyoko Busujima expressionlessly reached out to her older sister, who then dutifully handed her a futon placed at her feet.
The next second, with a gentle sneer, Miyazawa Yu was sandwiched between two futons and smeared on her face. The conservation of momentum was just right to take care of her spine, which was incredibly thoughtful!
"Pfft!"
He spat out a mouthful of blood, his mouth clenched shut as he opened his eyes and struggled to condemn, "Why, why use violence!"
"Ah...it seems my hand suddenly started moving on its own. I'm so sorry!"
"..."
With a determined look in her eyes, as if she were about to join the Party, Izare Rina's personality meant she didn't know what a joke was, although Miyazawa Yu's joke was indeed a bit hellish.
"You still can't understand, can you? This kind of pain!"
"Actually, it's half and half. After all, I don't have the second half here. Speaking of which, they don't even care about questions like whether the educational institutions in Kumamoto have simply died out..."
Pab-style jokes didn't work, so Miyazawa Yu could only sigh and shrug, not expecting to find any other way to lighten the mood.
Renna's problem is simple. After all, the latter is much easier to solve when the bullying escalates from hot to cold. However, Renna's father's decision to give in without any limits is puzzling to him.
When their own daughter was bullied, the first thing they did was to let it go. Is this the spirit of self-reflection of the older generation?
"There's no second half... so that means the first half is the same?"
With her little brain fogged up, its efficiency plummeted. Izayoi Rina simply couldn't believe that the big muscle guy would be bullied, after all, he seemed to be the kind of person who would be driven crazy by the sports club!
Kyoko Busujima sensed her distrust and, although angry, she still took the initiative to endorse Yu.
"It's true, you can find negative comments about Yuoni-chan online!"
"hiss……"
She gasped. Jing Qinrencai wasn't a woman who was so willful as to disregard everything. Although she liked to breathe on others, she always had a sense of propriety.
Miyazawa Yu's current persona is completely outside the scope of her attacks, and has even entered the scope of sympathy!
This caused the little guy's breathing DLC to start reporting an internal error, getting stuck in a superposition of breathing and not breathing.
"Taoxiang? Is this little guy still trying to get into university?"
"Just a few months ago, the slogans were still being shouted loudly..."
After struggling for two seconds, Momoka Kawahara sighed and concluded, "But now that it's no longer mentioned, I guess they're preparing to give up."
"No matter what, I feel that since there's still a chance, I should go to university!"
With a large hand pressed on Nina's head, Miyazawa Yu's story changed his view of the band's existence. After all, some people really do rely on the band as a spiritual pillar to move forward.
Although pursuing two paths simultaneously might be tiring, it's undoubtedly better than the band Blindhead going down only one road to the bitter end.
Or it's better to abandon your dreams, bury yourself in books, and end up becoming the next incompetent, rigid teacher who dares not defy authority!
