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

"Ah~ Let's take a walk~" Ruomai looked at Aiyin meaningfully, a kind smile on her face: "Well~ if little Aiyin is so free, I'm also quite bored, so how about we take a walk together?"

"Alright..." Ai Yin had no choice but to agree to Ruomai's request. So the two of them walked together towards the arcade, chatting as they hurried along.

Once inside the arcade, the two dropped all pretense, exchanged a glance, and split up to search for Taro. After searching for a while without success, they met up again at the entrance.

Ruomai looked at Aiyin suspiciously and asked, puzzled, "Where did you get this information? You're not mistaken, are you?"

"Of course there's no mistake, I asked him directly," Aine said angrily. "It must be that Taro left without waiting for me again."

“However, according to my information,” Ruomai stroked her chin and tilted her head in thought, “Taro is probably with a girl right now.”

"Huh? Weren't they on a date?" Ai Yin was instantly shocked, looking sharply at Ruomai and asking, "Ruomai, where did you get this information?"

“Anwa Tendo, oh.” Ruomai didn’t pretend anymore and confessed directly: “I thought that someone as famous as her must have relevant eyewitness information on Twitter, and I already knew that she would definitely be wearing a kimono when she was out. For such a famous person to dress so conspicuously, it would be easy to find her online.”

After she finished speaking, she helplessly shrugged and said, "But by the time I arrived at my destination, they had already left."

Ai Yin said angrily, "This has happened three times already!"

Hearing Ai Yin say that, Ruomai revealed a mischievous smile: "Little Ai Yin, I have some bad news to tell you."

"What? What?" Ai Yin looked at Ruomai's smile and had a bad feeling.

“This is what Anhe Tiantong said herself.” Ruomai’s mischievous smile deepened as she chuckled, “She said she wanted to find a good match for her granddaughter, like this.”

Aine trembled and asked softly, "Could it be that the person in question is...?"

"Oh yeah, it's the one you're thinking of." Ruomai shrugged helplessly, but inwardly she was grinning wickedly.

I'm not the only one who's worried now. If I had to describe Ruomai's feelings in one word, it would probably be gloating.

However, to be honest, directly asking the general would have been the simplest way. It was just that I was too preoccupied with my own thoughts and didn't think of this.

Ruomai has already begun to reflect on himself.

Ai Yin hurriedly took out her phone and quickly sent a message:

"Taro, where are you now?"

Not long after, Taro replied to Aine's message.

"Now let's go back to the location I mentioned the second time. Speaking of which, why did you want to know my current location and asked so many times?"

"I'll tell you later!" Ai Yin called out to Ruomai anxiously, "Ruomai, hurry up!"

After saying that, she started walking quickly. As for why she didn't run... no girl would want to run to see her crush, especially if she was wearing makeup.

"Yes~ Here we come." Ruomai didn't hesitate and quickly followed Aiyin's footsteps.

Let's rewind to the moment when Taro and An walked past Aine. After that, Taro, with a somber face, said:

"It's too much trouble. I didn't consider your weak legs. In the current situation, it's impossible to take the best photo."

"Then, what should we do..." An and Subaru were a little down. If they hadn't been so competitive and had given up the moment they realized they couldn't win, they wouldn't be in this situation now.

But... if that's the case, maybe I won't even realize it... An and Subaru thought to themselves, raising their heads slightly to look at Taro's face.

To his surprise, Taro wore a confident smile. He bent down slightly and said calmly, "Come on up, we'll be there soon."

Huh? Come up? Could it be...?

An and Subaru nervously observed Taro's posture—he was slightly bent over, leaning forward, with his knees slightly bent and his arms outstretched behind him.

It must be what I understood it to mean, right? Or is it a misunderstanding on my part?

Although the meaning seemed obvious, An and Subaru still asked with great uncertainty:

"Does this mean I should go upstairs?"

Taro seemed a little puzzled by her question, raising an eyebrow slightly as he asked, "Wasn't my behavior obvious enough?"

"No, I was just overthinking it." An and Subaru smiled, easily wrapping their arms around Taro's neck and leaning against Taro's back with a little force.

The weight of her body suddenly found support, which made her breathe a sigh of relief.

The clear support he felt from the place where his arm was holding his thigh made An and Subaru feel at ease.

Her chest was inevitably pressed against his back, and she could feel the even warmth emanating from there. The temperature wasn't hot; it was just a gentle warmth transmitted through two layers of clothing.

She turned her head slightly to avoid pressing herself directly against his back. Her cheeks were still a little warm, whether from the afterglow of exercise or something else, she couldn't tell.

Her gaze fell on the folds of his clothes that rose and fell slightly with his steps at his shoulder blades, and her thoughts drifted away.

It seems that I have truly been completely defeated.

#27 Head-to-Head

"Then, thank you for your help."

An and Subaru lay on Taro's back, their faces slightly flushed, enveloped by a strong sense of security.

Taro's broad back gave her a feeling... yes, it was like the sense of security you get when you accidentally watch a horror movie and then hide under the covers.

However, this feeling did not last long.

"Don't mention it, it's nothing troublesome," Taro said calmly.

The wind, a strong wind, blew up, and I even felt a slight push against my back.

An and Subaru suddenly realized that this was not a natural wind, but a strong wind created by Momoi Taro running.

Not long after, Momoi Taro stopped, not because he was tired, but because they had reached their destination.

Anwa Subaru stared blankly at the familiar scene around him. Taro bent down slightly and said, "Come down!"

When Taro's voice reached An and Subaru's ears, she seemed to wake from a dream and made two "oh" sounds before carefully jumping off Taro's back.

Although she had prepared herself mentally, she still overestimated the endurance of her thighs. Her whole body went limp, and she was about to collapse again.

The familiar feeling returned; Taro's arm was around her waist. After a moment, Taro straightened her up and instructed her:

"Be careful. I'll get you some medicine in a bit, but this condition will last at least half a day. It would be better if you stopped practicing the drums for a day as well."

"Yes, thank you." Anwa Subaru's face flushed, and she gently brushed her hair aside. Seeing that she seemed ready, Taro said, "I've let go."

After saying that, he let go of her hand and then helped her to the edge of the shade of a tree. Under An and Subaru's puzzled gazes, Taro took a few steps back.

Taro didn't speak for a while before turning to An and Subaru and saying, "Look behind you!"

Upon hearing Taro's commanding words, An and Subaru instinctively turned around.

In that instant, the world seemed to be silenced.

A pure and gentle pale golden light, like liquid honey or a warm torrent, surged towards her without warning, instantly engulfing her.

"what……"

A barely audible gasp escaped from her slightly parted lips.

The light was not dazzling, yet it possessed the power to penetrate everything.

It flows through the windows of the teaching building, turning the cold steel and concrete into an amber palace from a fairy tale; it brushes against the swaying treetops, turning each leaf into translucent gold leaf.

What moved her most was the lake not far away—the entire lake surface resembled a huge, smooth, and soft pale golden canvas.

The trees on the opposite bank and the clouds ablaze in the sky are all reflected perfectly on this boundless golden canvas, creating a symmetrical and unrealistically magnificent dreamscape.

She turned to look at Taro and said happily, "How beautiful, Mr. Taro—"

The only response she received was a click. Anwa Subaru was slightly taken aback, her hazy eyes clearing a bit. She said with a touch of embarrassment and annoyance, "Taro-san, you should have told me!"

“If I had told you, it wouldn’t feel the same way,” Taro said calmly, then handed over his phone.

"So beautiful..." Anhe Mao exclaimed in amazement. She couldn't think of any other adjectives. In fact, she even wondered if the woman on the screen was really herself.

On the screen, the black-haired girl turned around, pointing her finger into the distance, her eyes full of longing and excitement.

Bathed in the golden glow of the setting sun, the beauty was beyond description; she struggled to find the right words to capture it all.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Of course it's you, Erling II, Yisanlingba ②." Taro confidently raised his head and said, "My photography is flawless."

"As expected of you..." Anwa Subaru smiled as he looked at Momoi Taro's face, which, under the golden light, seemed to possess a touch of divinity.

She took a deep breath and said softly, "Um, can we do it one more time? It's a script practice."

"Hmm." Taro nodded slightly in agreement and said calmly, "Even if you hadn't said it, that's what I was planning to do."

"Well, we really are on the same wavelength." An and Subaru smiled slightly, then composed themselves, took a deep breath, and said, "Well then, I'll begin."

"Why...why did you refuse? What did I do wrong?"

The girl's expression was completely natural; she smiled faintly and chose a different emotional tone than last time: "Tell me, what exactly did I do wrong?"

"Do you know how much I like you?" An and Subaru's eyes were filled with such deep love that it was almost unbearable, and they gripped Taro's hand tightly.

"I love you... Words cannot express it, so please, don't leave me."

An and Subaru's eyes were like those of a shattered porcelain doll, filled with profound sorrow. Then, a few indescribable emotions surfaced—

Her small mouth opened slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but not far away came a girl's panicked voice that Taro knew very well.

"Wait, wait, wait—Taro, what are you doing!?"

The two turned around and saw Chihaya Aine and Yutenji Wakana from the Dong Brothers group. The two of them didn't look very good. Aine ran over quickly.

"That was just now, a confession, right? It was a confession, right?" Aine looked at Taro in a panic, even with a hint of accusation.

"To be precise, it's a performance of a confession scene." Faced with the beautiful head of Aine being offered up, Taro naturally wouldn't indulge her and naturally pressed her head down.

Then, habitually, he applied slight pressure with his fingers, like iron clamps, to Aine's head.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch—violent opposition!" Aine quickly reached out to pry Taro's hand aside. Taro didn't use much force, and it was easily pushed away.

"Then?" Ruomai spoke up from the side, "So, what happened just now was acting?"

As if she had just remembered something, she said apologetically, "Sorry, sorry, I think I forgot to introduce myself."

She stepped back slightly, gave a slight, respectful bow, and introduced herself: "I'm Yutenji Ruomai, the drummer of the Dong Brothers group. Just call me Meow Dream." She then straightened up and waved: "Nice to meet you~"

Without waiting for Anhe Mao's reply, she continued, "Are you Anhe's granddaughter? You truly are a master; your acting skills are amazing." Ruomai praised with a smile.

Is it really acting? Ruomai harbored doubts. But as long as it's portrayed as acting, that's fine. At the same time, she subtly hinted at Aine with her eyes.

Whether or not she received her own hint, from Ruomai's perspective, she saw Aiyin speak with a relaxed expression:
