While Shiina Iori's family was shopping and watching fireworks, Chiho Aiba, who had been busy for a long time, finally got some gaps and was asked by Ai Takiya to drink outside.

"Puff--!"

A large cup of beer was killed, and Qiansui, who drank a little bulging his belly, didn't even frown his eyebrows. He slammed the quilt on the table with a pleasant bang.

When other drinkers who were dine-in saw this heroic scene, and toasting, a thin and young girl was applauding like a cheer.

Only Ai Takiya, who was sitting opposite her, glanced at her in anger, but she didn't say anything to stop her. She just picked up an edamame from the food and drinks on the table and squeezed it apart, and ate it one by one.

“…what later?”

"You didn't even talk to Iori about the matter of your share?"

Hearing this, Qiansui who was so happy to kill a big glass of beer was also stunned. The slightly rosy little face froze, as if he remembered that he had not earned more than a month.

After scratching his face, the girl raised her phone with a little embarrassed look.

【Iori Jun helped me so much...】

【Not very good?】

Ai Takitani looked dark and said, "I was so angry that I gently tapped the little fool's forehead with the end of the chopsticks:

"Brothers are clear about the score!"

"You haven't lived in a room yet. Why can't you even settle this little account? Well?!"

Hearing Aijie's tone of a bad temper, Chiho Aiba lowered his head weakly, and his face was still filled with the drunken smile, trying to get through the cuteness.

But is Ai Takitani still not sure how much she drinks?

It is a bit exaggerating to not get drunk on Qiang Cup, but with this kind of six or seven-degree beer, Qiansui may not even frown when he comes to the table - it is because he puts a lot of pressure on his bladder.

"You~"

Ai Takitani looked at her sweeping around and seemed absent-minded, and she said in dissatisfaction: "Fortunately, my partner is Iori this time."

"I'll call him tomorrow."

“Woohhh?!”

Aiba Chiho suddenly became a little anxious and wanted to cross the small table to pull Ai's sister's hand. Her big watery eyes widened her, pitiful.

But Ai Takiya didn't like this at all: "What? I have copyright to write songs."

【But, Iori Jun helped me a lot.】

Aiba Chiho was a little anxious and pounded on his phone quickly.

【Recently "The Deserted Warmth" has been very popular online!】

[It's all up to Iori to achieve this level. It doesn't matter if the income from N stations is given to Iori!]

【After all, there are royalties for issuance rights...】

As she was writing, Chiho Aiba suddenly stopped feeling guilty, as if she was thinking about something.

Ai Takitani and his acquaintances have always been straightforward in private, and said without any hesitation: "But the problem now is that there is no studio to buy your songs!"

Aiba Chiho's fingertips that stopped on the screen were completely stiff, and he only lowered his head for a moment, not daring to say anything.

Said nothing.

At this point, not to mention Ai Takiya, who has always been keen on intuition, even Chiho Aiba, who has never been slower to this kind of human nature, has already discovered that something is wrong.

These days, the two of them have traveled almost to most of the slightly larger artist studios in Tokyo, but none of them have acquired this song.

Normally, this kind of thing cannot happen to excellent songs like "The Deserted Warmth" that became popular once it is played.

After all, no one will be unable to get along with money.

But after these days of wandering, this strange thing actually happened to the two of them, and it was still the same.

Even no matter how dull it was, Chiho Aiba still noticed the problem.

Yes.

The problem is herself.

Whenever they entered several studios, they didn't even take out the songs, and just reported her name, the matter was basically ruined.

I think that since even she noticed this, then the sophisticated sister like Ai must have seen it a long time ago.

However, she never asked the reason, and even asked the question of the edge. She just focused on trying to find a way to help her.

When it is impossible to sell copyrights until now, then just turn around and start looking for channels to make money.

It is not the 1980s and 1990s. I want to be famous and not just become a celebrity.

Short videos, personal up-and-comers, media channels... all kinds of self-media can make people famous.

On the contrary, Chiho always felt a little guilty when he saw Takitani Ai helping her after work every day.

"What's wrong? Why are you watching me like this?"

Noting Chiho's slightly red eyes, Takitani Ai said in confusion.

"Hmm."

Chiho shook his head vigorously, smiled with his lips pursed, and raised his cell phone to show her.

【Thank you, Ai Sister.】

Ai Takitani was stunned by this sudden thanks.

After pausing for two or three seconds, I finally realized and waved my hand casually: "Then don't always make people worry so much."

"Uh-huh."

"What is that boy Iori doing?" As if the atmosphere became a little stiff, Ai Takitani changed the subject and said angrily, "I said something about it a few days ago and went back to my hometown, but after I came back, I didn't have a phone call, hiccup."

"I haven't even started work recently. All the jobs assigned to him in the company system have been cleared by the new boss, which makes the app backend full of swear words, which makes me so angry!"

When Aoba Chiho heard this, he had to smile helplessly.

[Maybe Iori Jun is also busy with his own affairs?]

As she said that, she subconsciously remembered the "Scenery of Crystal Palace" she saw in the house last time she went to the house rented by Iori, and showed a strange expression.

【Or may be, the body cannot hold on?】

"Yeah?"

Ai Takitani didn't react to Chiho's intentions and said in confusion: "I thought that kid was in good health? He obviously looked very strong."

"Um...yeah."

Realizing that he had accidentally made a pink joke, Qianho couldn't help but tilt his head and scratch his face guiltily.

"What about you?" Takitani Ai said, suddenly showing a playful smile, "Have you made any progress?"

【us?】

Chiho pointed at herself in confusion.

"Don't think I don't know!" Ai Takitani smiled ambiguously, "You went to drink last time, and that boy Iori actually poured you down, and there was no other progress after that?"

"Although it's not too obvious, Iori must be a little interesting to Chiho, you!"

Hearing this, Chiho realized that Ai Takitani was talking about the last time he was barbecuing with charcoal fire. He remembered the embarrassing incident of lying on Iori and she burst into tears. Her face suddenly felt a little feverish.

Fortunately, she was already a little blushing at this time, so she was not immediately discovered by Ai Takiya.

However, Chiho quickly defended himself.

[No! The relationship between us is very pure!]

[Iorikun already has a girlfriend.]

【Love sister, don’t always think about it!】

Upon hearing this, Ai Takitani was stunned:

"ha--?"

"That kid actually has a girlfriend!?"

"When did it happen? Why don't you tell me?"

However, after a sound came out, he suddenly realized and frowned in confusion: "It shouldn't be..."

Obviously, every time I asked him to help comfort Chiho and promised to help him and Chiho pimp, Iori agreed happily.

wrong!

Ai Takitani muttered in her heart and immediately reacted.

Although a cute girl like Chiho has a slightly insignificant flaw, which boy wouldn't want it?

Even if you have a girlfriend, it is not a problem to have one more, so of course he doesn’t mind!

When the taste came back, Ai Takitani suddenly widened his eyes.

This kid! It turns out that he had ulterior motives from the beginning?!
