Probably because of embarrassment and not daring to continue looking at Shin's face, Yotsuya Miko ultimately didn't follow Shin to the lounge to see Kessoku Band.
Yotsuya Miko chose to run to the living room to play with Illyasviel and Sitonai, which was perfect since she also wanted to build a good relationship with Shin's two "daughters."
Although Yotsuya Miko didn't know why Shin had two "daughters" at such a young age, due to Shin's special nature, she didn't think much about it.
So in the end, Shin went to see Kessoku Band alone.
Walking into the lounge, before Shin could speak, he saw all of Kessoku Band suddenly focus their gazes on him.
Shin was stunned for a moment, then said somewhat puzzled:
"What's wrong? Why are you all suddenly looking at me like this?"
Clearly, when they were eating dinner just now, the atmosphere among Kessoku Band members had been quite good with no issues.
How did their gazes toward him become so strange after he had just talked with Yotsuya Miko and Yulia Niguredou for a while?
"Akawa, didn't you tell Nijika yesterday that you wanted to go on a date with her?"
Finally, it was Megumi Kato who spoke with a ghostly tone, revealing why their atmosphere was so odd.
Shin was stunned, then realized—yesterday, after talking alone with Hoshige Ijichi, he had indeed said this to Nijika Ijichi.
He looked at Nijika Ijichi in the corner of the lounge, and saw her with an apologetic expression, hands clasped together and moving up and down toward him.
It was clear that Nijika Ijichi hadn't said this out of showing off or any such reason—it was probably just a slip of the tongue.
And indeed it was. Because earlier, Nijika Ijichi had said to Ryo Yamada "might as well just live at Shin's house," which had steered the topic toward Shin.
While everyone was discussing matters about Shin, Nijika Ijichi had accidentally mentioned that Shin had invited her on a date yesterday.
No wonder everyone was looking at Shin with such strange gazes—after all, everyone present more or less had some kind of relationship with Shin and some different thoughts.
Megumi Kato and Ikuyo Kita, who were more proactive and had the closest relationships, needless to say—their gazes at Shin were practically overflowing with resentment.
Although Hitori Gotou's relationship with Shin hadn't progressed as fast as the previous two, she also wanted to develop things further with Shin, so she was now staring at Shin somewhat conflictedly.
Ryo Yamada's performance was the calmest, even holding a cookie she had taken from the snack shelf in the living room—no one could tell what she was thinking.
If it were an ordinary person being stared at like this by so many girls they were involved with, they would definitely be panicking and at a loss.
But Shin's face was quite thick, and his powerful strength gave him ample confidence, so facing these girls' gazes, he just shrugged:
"In that case, let's all go out together when we have time. Consider it everyone dating together."
That's right, Shin chose everyone together—coincidentally, Nijika Ijichi had responded to his solo date invitation yesterday with "it's better if everyone goes together."
So this statement could also be considered his response to Nijika Ijichi's request.
The members of Kessoku Band obviously hadn't expected Shin to be able to say such things so confidently and were momentarily stunned.
"I don't mind."
Then, Ryo Yamada was the first to express her position—she had a seemingly indifferent expression on her face as she raised her hand to show agreement.
Shin suspected the main reason Ryo Yamada agreed was because going out with Shin meant he would definitely cover all expenses, and she could mooch off another big meal.
However, with Ryo Yamada speaking up first, the other girls also breathed a sigh of relief and expressed agreement in what seemed like helpless fashion.
"Really, Akawa is so greedy."
Megumi Kato pressed her hand to her forehead, looking like she found Shin's philandering quite troublesome—but actually, she had long accepted the fact that there were many girls around Shin.
So Megumi Kato had actually long been mentally prepared for Kessoku Band to be packaged together by Shin, and naturally accepted the reality quickly now.
"There's really no helping it, but this is just like Shin-san."
Ikuyo Kita also said with a smile—like Megumi Kato, she accepted this situation quite quickly.
After all, she knew very well in her heart that Megumi Kato was the first to have that kind of relationship with Shin, and she herself was a latecomer in a sense.
As a latecomer, she naturally didn't dare ask for too much. If Megumi Kato had no objections, what objections could she have?
"I... I also think it's fine."
Hitori Gotou spoke quietly as always, but she was obviously someone who could easily accept such things.
She lacked confidence to begin with and seemed never to have hoped to monopolize Shin. If she could be together with the other members of Kessoku Band, perhaps that was actually better for her.
"Then let's arrange a time for everyone to go on a date together!"
Seeing that the others had all agreed, Nijika Ijichi also showed a relieved expression.
She had been worried that the matter she brought up would create unnecessary barriers between Kessoku Band members.
After all, it wasn't uncommon for rock bands to fall apart due to romantic matters. She didn't want Kessoku Band to go down such a path.
But unexpectedly, although the members of Kessoku Band all seemed interested in Shin, they had surprisingly taken a route without conflicts.
This was quite a bargain for Shin.
After chatting with Kessoku Band for a while and arranging the date itinerary for later, Shin finally left the lounge, leaving the remaining time to them.
It had also been quite a while now. Yulia Niguredou should have thought it over—whether she wanted to become Shin's person in exchange for a Stand.
After leaving the lounge, Shin came to the living room and saw Yotsuya Miko, Illyasviel, and Sitonai playing a racing game with controllers.
All three were playing quite enthusiastically. Yotsuya Miko had easily mixed into Illyasviel and Sitonai's group.
Looking at her expression, Yotsuya Miko was even playing more seriously than Illyasviel and Sitonai, which made Shin both amused and exasperated.
Originally, Shin had planned to call Yotsuya Miko to go see Yulia Niguredou together, but seeing Yotsuya Miko so absorbed in playing, Shin didn't disturb her.
He could go ask Yulia Niguredou's opinion alone. After all, this wasn't some major matter that required several people to act together.
