"I didn't trick him."
Mai was the first to speak.
Hearing her daughter's voice, Mai's mother turned to look at her daughter, who looked a lot like herself, and was a little dazed for a moment.
However, her eyes were still filled with unpleasant feelings.
"I liked him first."
Mai said this naturally, and then blushed a little.
However, Mai didn't stop, she seemed to be telling herself, telling Natsuhiko, telling her mother, her expression was so focused.
Natsuhiko could even feel her determination from the side.
"I didn't want to say this, Mother."
Mai paused, and subconsciously repeated the above words again.
"I originally thought that I would keep this feeling for Mother in my heart, but after seeing Mother like this, I still want to say it."
Natsuhiko noticed that Mai's eyes were slightly red at this time.
He did not stop her.
These were the words that Mai had decided and wanted to say, maybe they could untie the knot in her heart.
"It's been three years, to be honest, Mother, I'm very grateful to you."
"Thanks to Mother, I was able to get a job, meet a lot of people, and become a star..."
Natsuhiko noticed that the look in Mai's mother's eyes softened.
"I didn't have the energy to enjoy it, my mind was full of work, and I remember three years ago we often quarreled at the drop of a hat, quarreling every day, quarreling every day, I was really unhappy, and even thought about disappearing at one point."
Mai choked up a little.
Natsuhiko reached out and gently held Mai's hand, giving her strength to support her.
"But, recently, I feel like I've changed. I think going to school is a happy thing, and going to school with Hiko is even happier. I think performing is very happy. If I can create a work that Hiko thinks is good, I'll be even happier."
Mai's eyes became aggressive.
"He is my biggest support, I feel very happy. This is the light that shone on me in the darkness after my mother did that very disappointing thing..."
Finally, Mai stopped talking.
Natsuhiko listened to Mai's words, which sounded like she was examining herself, words that were more touching than a confession, frankly facing her own feelings.
He never thought that his appearance would have such a meaning for Mai.
He freed one hand and brushed away her hair that was scattered because of her emotional excitement.
He was extremely grateful that he had the ability to break the situation, and he could proudly say that he could become Mai's support.
He coughed lightly.
Natsuhiko stared at this strong and capable woman.
"Allow me to reintroduce myself, I am Mai's boyfriend, Natsuhiko, the president of Midsummer Night's Star agency. I am very sorry for not introducing my position just now."
Natsuhiko then took out a business card with his position printed on it.
"If you think that the president of a small agency doesn't have much weight."
Natsuhiko continued to take out a new business card and handed it over.
"This world is sometimes beautiful, but sometimes it is desperate. Money, power, and ability sometimes make this world seem desperate."
"And I, although I haven't reached the top in terms of money and power for the time being, and haven't even reached the middle level, but, it's no exaggeration to say that I also have the ability to change the fate of some people."
"For example, the artists under your agency..."
"You don't need to say anymore."
Mai's mother put away her business card.
"I agree to Mai transferring to a new agency, to make a comeback at Midsummer Night's Star agency."
Natsuhiko raised his eyebrows, a smart choice.
"However, this is a mother's decision, not a manager's."
Okay.
Since she agreed, Natsuhiko would not continue to provoke her with any words, it was meaningless.
Mai's mother looked at the person handing out two business cards with a complicated expression. It was unimaginable that someone so young could already hold such a high position.
She also knew some young rich kids.
Those people were just wasting their youth with money.
She was now starting to think about whether there was a Xia family that was willing to invest so many resources in their children.
As for Mai's request to transfer to a new agency.
When Mai told her about her own affairs, she had already agreed in her heart. She had only thought about making money at first, which did ignore Mai's wishes.
If you think about it this way.
Did the young man in front of her see her hesitation and then hand out the business card to give her a way out?
She shook her head and dispelled the unrealistic fantasies that popped into her mind.
After hearing her mother's words, Mai finally showed a smile as usual, a smile that seemed to have untied all the knots in her heart.
Looking at her sweet smile.
Natsuhiko felt that his actions were worthwhile, valuable, and he smiled along with her.
[Helped solve Sakurajima Mai's heart knot, Youth Points +200]
An unexpected gain.
But there was one thing he didn't say just now, and that was ability. Perhaps in the hearts of Mai and her mother, ability was a person's skill.
But for him, it was more than that.
[Learning Ability, Athletic Ability, Cooking Skills, Slip, Royal Power, Dream Eye]
Although there were only 6 abilities now, and they were basically just auxiliary, his abilities would only increase, not decrease, and there were no side effects or costs.
Money and power.
As long as you have enough ability, these are not a problem!
...
...
The matter ended in a pretty good way.
Mai quietly said that she had felt that the ability was completely under control.
That is to say.
She can now use the ability called "Forgetfulness" at will, and even experimented in front of her mother just now.
Sure enough.
A heart knot is one of the main reasons for Mai's ability to lose control.
It is truly gratifying.
This way, of course, she can go back and continue to sleep together... no way.
After finishing dinner, Natsuhiko was ruthlessly driven out of Mai's house, probably because she was too embarrassed to go home with her boyfriend under her mother's gaze.
After making several unequal treaties, such as dressing up as a bunny girl and wearing a tie in the future, Natsuhiko finally embarked on his way home.
The engine of the sports car roared.
"Mai, Auntie, then I'll go back, I'll contact Mishiro to discuss the specific details with you."
Mai's mother nodded reservedly to show that she understood.
After Mai gave him a kiss, the taillights of the car slowly disappeared from their sight.
When Mai turned around, she saw her mother's meaningful gaze.
"Tell me, how far have you two gone?"
Mai, who never thought that she would talk about her boyfriend with her mother, blushed from her face to her neck in an instant. However, setting aside the relationship of interests and having a normal conversation with her mother, how long has it been since this happened?
A strong sense of happiness welled up in her heart.
Since that bad guy appeared, things seem to be really starting to develop in a good direction... after all.
