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

In no time, the table was cleared. Ai Yin looked at everyone with resentment, especially Ruomai and Le Nai, who were the ones who were grabbing the most.

Ruomai turned her head away and muttered under her breath, "Hmph~ traitor."

Well, the case is solved. Ruomai is still holding a grudge about not participating in the group exercise this morning.

"Ruomai, you're such a cheapskate," Aiyin retorted defiantly.

"Huh?" Ruomai also yawned without any politeness. The two walked side by side into the living room. If you ignored their occasional shoving and pushing, people who saw them might think they had a very good relationship.

"Are you two childish?" Hai Ling tilted her head and said in confusion before walking towards the living room.

"Hmph~ There are plenty of interesting women." Le Nai laughed and walked towards the living room.

"Um! Can I listen in?" Nina couldn't help but stand up and ask the members of the Dong Brothers group.

All four of them turned around at the same time and looked at Nina. Nina felt a little regretful; had she been a bit too impulsive in making that request?

Just as her body stiffened, Taro's steady voice came: "It's alright! Enemy or friend, I welcome you to participate in the festival!"

"It's not a festival, it's a meeting, isn't it?" Ebizuka Satoshi said with his arms crossed and eyes closed.

Taro's voice turned arrogant as he laughed loudly, "Hahaha! It's alright! Wherever I am, there's a festival! I welcome everyone, no matter who they are!"

"...I wanted to say this last time, this guy has a dual personality, right?" Ebizuka Tomo slowly opened his eyes and muttered a low comment.

Aine recalled Taro's performance every time he started practicing and went on stage, and could only smile awkwardly, unable to say anything in rebuttal.

Afterwards, everyone gathered in the living room and began the Dong Brothers' festival.

Lena asked with great interest, "Want me to play? Aiyin brought some songs."

"There are only a few things to say." Taro calmly divided the paper in his hand into several stacks and handed them to the three members of the Dong Brothers group.

"This is the first one, the arrangement of one of the two pieces written by Hai Ling. This is your own part, so you need to practice it well at home."

"There's another one, right?" Hailin asked calmly. Taro nodded naturally and handed over the other stack as well.

Hailing silently flipped through it several times, revealing a satisfied smile. Upon hearing that it was Aiyin, composed by Hailing, she also nodded slightly.

"Where are the lyrics? Can I see them?" Hai Ling asked again, this was what she cared about most.

"Ah, of course, no problem." Taro said expressionlessly, handing over his work from the morning.

Aine curiously leaned closer to Hailin, looked at the lyrics, and praised, "As expected of Taro's lyrics, they're really good."

Taro raised his head slightly and said confidently, "Hmph, isn't that what should be done?"

Then he picked up the last stack of papers and distributed them to everyone in the Dong Brothers group. Everyone looked over and saw another new song.

"Is this... a melody composed for my lyrics?" Ruomai asked Taro with a smile. Taro naturally nodded and admitted, "Yes!"

"Thank you, General. You're really going to great lengths." Ruomai took two steps forward, wanting to hug Taro in the mood, but was blocked by a tall girl with long pink hair.

Aiyin smiled smugly at Ruomai, thinking, "You tried to steal my food and then tried to cling to me."

Ruomai tilted her head slightly, putting on a perfect "sudden realization" expression, and reached out to hug Aine in front of her.

"Is Xiao Aiyin trying to act cute? Okay, okay, you're such a grown-up now, I just can't do anything with you. This is a special fan service."

Ai-yin's face turned bright red, not from embarrassment, but from anger. She really wanted to go back in time and slap herself to see what kind of rubbish she had idolized.

Ruomai smiled like a fox stealing a chicken. Little Aiyin wants to fight me? She's 20,000 years too early!

Taro frowned, not quite sure what the two of them were up to. Rakuna, on the other hand, sat there swinging her legs back and forth with great interest, as if watching a spectacle.

This is what I deserve after a long day!

Hailing rubbed her forehead. Really, don't bring personal feelings into the band; that's a dangerous sign. So Hailing calmly steered the conversation to the next part.

Is that all?

"No, there's also the issue of tomorrow's arrangements," Taro continued, picking up where he left off.

Hailin casually picked up her tablet from the sofa, glanced at it, and confirmed with Taro, "There's an interview program with Nyanmu tomorrow afternoon, and you also need to work in the afternoon, Taro. Everyone is available in the morning."

Taro nodded and said, "Then, tomorrow morning, let's re-record the dance of our Dong Brothers group, and at the same time, have two hours to practice the new songs. Make sure we are proficient in playing these three songs before the live performance!"

"Yes!" x3

The three people answered in unison. As for why there were three people... the cat didn't know, and the cat remained silent.

"Finally, there's the matter of finalizing the song list." Taro glanced around at everyone and said, "The order of performance is also very important, but it's only meaningful if everyone discusses it together."

"As for songs, we only have a few, right?" Ruomai pointed to her finger.

"Three new songs, plus two songs sung by Ai-yin: 'Hero,' 'Clier-Mler,' 'Going My Way to Tomorrow,' 'Ore Koso Onri One,' and 'Don't Boo! Don't Brass.' It seems there's not much room for selection?"

"If you want, I can write new songs! Several!" Taro's confident words made Ruomai wave her hands repeatedly: "No, no, no, this is fine."

"Floating, floating, swaying with the waves. What kind of happy ending is our goal!"

“Mr. Momoi, you’re so confident…” Nina looked at Momoi Taro with envy, and her face fell as she recalled her own dilemma of not being able to study music once she tried to write a song.

"Well, don't worry about it too much, Nina!" Aine patted her shoulder and said with a smile, "After all, it's Momoi Taro."

Nina nodded in agreement, saying, "That's true, after all, it's Momoi Taro!"

Ruomai patted the two of them on the shoulder and said seriously, "But~ I have never given up on competing with the general."

"Hehe, really~" Aine winked at her.

"Yes...yes!" Ruomai said weakly with a smile, then slapped Aiyin's bottom hard! Then she ran away quickly.

"Hey, Yueyi! Don't run away!" Aiyin quickly chased after her.

"Those two, it's amazing they still have energy," Hai Ling said silently.

"Ouch—" Ruomai, who was running away, suddenly collapsed to the ground, where she was caught by Aiyin, who pinched her cheek hard.

"Perhaps my massage gave her the illusion that her body had recovered." Taro calmly picked up his black tea and took a sip.

Lena smiled broadly as she watched the two bickering.

"So let's get the party started"

Le Nai: Time and time again.

Taro's return to work should have been an ordinary day.

However, at this time, he became entangled with a strange woman.

What will happen...?

#10 Please duel with me, that's the story.

#10 Please duel with me!

"Hina-san, what's on your mind?" The silver-haired girl spoke to Hina Hikawa, who had finished her activities.

"Ah~ Little Eve~ You do have something on your mind." Hina answered her question with a smile.

Eve Wakamiya, the keyboardist for Pastel*Palettes, is a member of the same idol band as Hina Hikawa.

"What's wrong? If you're having any difficulties, please don't hesitate to tell us!" Eve looked at Hina with determined eyes and encouraged her, "Don't hesitate to tell us."

“Eve-chan…” Chisato Shirasagi, also from Pastel*Palettes, smiled and reminded her, “You mean to say—悩みを話せば半分になる (If you speak your troubles out loud, they will be halved)?”

"I see! Japanese is really difficult!" Eve nodded seriously, then looked at Hina.

Hina thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, actually, I've met an opponent I can't defeat."

"Eh—? Hina's?" Maru-Yoshi (II) 〇2 Er ①⑶ Aya Babayama looked at Hina in disbelief. The word coming from Hina's mouth made her wonder if she had come to another world.

"Well... how should I put it? It's been going on for a long time, but lately I feel like something bad is going to happen if we don't win."

Hina touched her lips, looking thoughtful: "But, no matter what we do, we can't win if things continue like this, so I'm struggling with what to do."

"Excuse me for asking, but what kind of competition did you and that person have?" Eve asked very seriously.

"Hmm... it's a bit hard to explain in words." Hina thought for a while, then suddenly had a flash of inspiration, took out her phone and said, "How about this, it'll be more direct to see it directly."

Japanese girls will try to record any attempt to challenge Taro Momoi unless it's a chance encounter.

The most recent one was taken by the pink-haired girl from Taro's band, Dong Brothers. She didn't even see how it turned out after the shoot.

Thinking this, Hina found the video on her phone and clicked play. All the members of Pastel*Palettes curiously gathered around Hina, wanting to see what kind of person Hina was talking about who couldn't win.

The Japanese dishes were pulled over at the beginning, but accidentally pulled too far back, revealing the face of the main character, Momoi Taro.

"This person!?" Maruyama Aya exclaimed, covering her mouth. Hina looked at Maruyama Aya curiously and asked, "Does Aya know Taro too?"

“No… strictly speaking, we don’t know each other.” Maruyama Aya smiled awkwardly and said, “When I worked at the fast food restaurant last time, his colleagues recognized me, but he didn’t recognize me, so I have some impression of him.”

“I remember he always came to every live performance,” Chisato said with a smile, recalling, “but he never came to any offline event, no matter what kind. He’s a really strange guy.”

“Of course!” Hina laughed cheerfully. “After all, Taro isn’t a fan of ours.”

"You're not a fan, but you never miss a live show?" Maya asked curiously. Hina pondered for a moment, then casually replied, "After all, it's Taro."

"Sir, does Hina-san feel like she can't win?" Eve became increasingly curious about this.

“After all, it’s Momoi Taro,” Hina replied with a smile, as if the name were some kind of adjective, before quickly pulling the progress bar back.

"Okay, that's it, it's playing!" Before anyone could respond, she pressed the play button.

So everyone's attention returned to the video.

In the video, Hina and another girl with green hair wearing the Tsukimori school uniform are squatting in front of the door, each with a wooden sword tucked into their waistband.

As the video progressed, that handsome face from before came into view, and Hina in the video shouted, "Now—!"

Then, with lightning speed, she tried to draw the short sword from her waist to perform an iaido slash.

However, the boy was faster, slapping Hina's arm and pushing the half-cut wooden sword back into place.

Another girl shouted, "Now!" and swung her short sword at Momoi Taro. Maruyama Aya instinctively tried to close her eyes, unable to bear witnessing the tragedy.

However, even faster than she closed her eyes was a "smack" sound. In the video, Momoi Taro slapped the green-haired girl's wrist, and the short sword fell to the ground.

Then, Hina cried out in frustration, "No, can I have this space too?" As she spoke, she turned around and moved Taro's hand from her arm to her back, breaking free from his grasp.

Then, with a swift and beautiful slash, the blade blurred into a streak in the air as it attacked Taro.

However, Momoi Taro reacted with lightning speed, deftly disarming the wooden sword with his bare hands, and Hina quickly parried a sweeping kick, only to be met by Taro's powerful intercept kick—
