Create MYGO second creation, but make them cry

"Toyokawa Shoko" sat inside the car, calmly enjoying the soft sofa of the luxury MPV.

She couldn't help but look at the butler, Fujita, sitting not far away, and asked, "Where do we go now? Straight back to Tokyo?"

Butler Fujita said respectfully, "Actually, the master arrived in Kumamoto last night and is now waiting for you at the Toyokawa residence in Kumamoto."

Actually, the master really cares about you.

Shoko didn't seem particularly surprised by Toyokawa Sadaharu's arrival, and simply continued to ask calmly, "How's things at home lately?"

Seeing that she was asking vague questions, the butler Fujita picked out the important points to address.

"Miss Xiangzi, your coming-of-age ceremony is getting closer and closer. The branch of the Fengchuan family has begun to recommend potential husbands to your master, including your distant cousin... However, your master has temporarily refused, citing that you are not yet within the five degrees of kinship."

However, seeing Miss Shoko's ambiguous expression, Butler Fujita, being rather nosy, advised, "Miss Shoko, although you didn't end up with that boy, please don't blame Master Sadaharu. The candidates he chose for you were chosen with great care..."

Just then, Xiangzi calmly said, "If we follow his choice, at least the people who want to split up the family won't have any chance to take advantage of us. Grandpa Fujita, is that what you mean?"

The elderly man in the tuxedo sincerely said, "It's wonderful that you think this way, Miss."

After a pause, Xiangzi suddenly asked, "Grandpa... cough cough, how is Grandpa's health?"

Fujita's butler looked surprised. Could it be... that this was also a result of the training he received during this escape trip?

The old butler bowed slightly and said respectfully, "Please ask Master Dingzhi about this yourself."

Upon hearing Fujita's reply, Shoko fell silent.

***

The Toyokawa family's residence in Kumamoto is more like an estate than a villa; in fact, it takes several minutes to drive there after entering the residence to see the austere mansion.

Guided by the butler Fujita, she finally arrived at a quaint and elegant study.

Butler Fujita respectfully said to the old man standing by the window looking at the scenery outside, "Master, Miss Xiangzi has returned."

"Go down," the solemn old man said calmly, his back turned.

Without saying a word, Fujita left the study and closed the door.

“Xiangzi, I’m so glad you’re back. Everyone goes through a rebellious phase, that’s okay, as long as you can assess the situation.”

The old man did not turn around; he simply carried his granddaughter on his back and, unusually, reprimanded her with calm words.

"It's time for you to grow up; there are some things you should know."

“Your father said he was scammed, but in fact, just as many people guessed, he was framed by the people who were dividing the family property. But I still had to personally kick him out of the house.”

“Even if I manage to protect that kind of fool, or even make him the head of the family, he still can’t protect you. He’s ultimately suited to the life of an ordinary person.”

The old woman paused for a moment. Her granddaughter remained silent, still looking resentful. But the old woman no longer had time to convince her gradually, so she had no choice but to make her give in.

One day, she will understand her good intentions.

"Even the guy who framed your father can shamelessly propose marriage to his son, wanting to become your son-in-law."

"Xiangzi, grow up. The Fengchuan family is not as safe as you think. Right now, you have no ability to protect yourself."

However, Toyokawa Sadaharu coughed lightly as soon as he finished speaking.

"This is the darkness you've been talking about in the Toyokawa family? Old Deng, don't you think you'll live much longer?"

To the old man's astonishment, the words that should have been spoken by his granddaughter instead came from the voice of a frivolous young boy.

Moreover, this voice was not unfamiliar to Toyokawa Sadaharu.

He immediately turned around and saw a boy standing there.

But that's impossible. Although he had been carrying Xiangzi on his back, he clearly saw his granddaughter's face through the window when he got off the bus. Moreover, Fujita had brought her back himself. He couldn't possibly have made a mistake like that.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense, but then Toyokawa Sadaharu, facing such an unbelievable scene, pulled out a black pistol from a drawer and pointed it at Hanami.

He said coldly, "Is this the 'magic' you used when you escaped from Tokyo and Kobe?"

Who exactly are you?

As expected of a man who has sat on the throne of the Toyokawa family for decades, he did not lose his composure even in the face of such an inexplicable phenomenon.

But in the blink of an eye, the boy in front of him suddenly disappeared, and then a sharp, hard object pressed against his waist.

He turned his head and saw that Yana Miyu had somehow appeared behind him, holding a knife, and his smile was somewhat sinister.

"You can think about this problem while you're in hell, old Deng."

Then, with a forceful pull, the knife plunged directly into Toyokawa Sadaharu's waist, leaving only the hilt sticking out.

At that very moment, Toyokawa Sadaharu's mind went blank for a moment, and several figures appeared in his mind as he was dying.

I'm sorry... Mizuho...

But the next moment, Toyokawa Sadaharu heard the boy laughing loudly, and he did not experience the expected intense pain in his waist.

He couldn't help but widen his eyes, only to see Banami raise the knife again, and then the blade that should have been embedded in his waist was extended out again.

Banai casually tossed the toy knife aside and chuckled, "Just kidding. You're one of Xiaoxiang's only two blood relatives now, how could I possibly hurt you?"

After saying that, Banami slowly walked to the opposite side of the table and sat down.

Immediately, Toyokawa Sadaharu's face darkened, and a bead of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Fear stems from the unknown.

He had no idea how the boy had barged in or how he had gotten behind him.

But... the only thing that's clear is that he did hold back just now.

However, he maintained his superior demeanor and said, "That's true, but you took my pistol."

It was the first time that Banami had ever held a real gun, and he seemed quite excited about it. After playing with it for a while, he pointed the pistol at Toyokawa Sadaharu, who was looking at him coldly, and said, "I'm just keeping it for now so that our conversation can go a little smoother."

"Does 'keeping' mean you can kill me anytime you're not satisfied?" Toyokawa Sadaharu remained unfazed.

"Truth is only within the range of cannons. Haven't you heard that saying, old Deng?" Banami retorted.

"But you didn't unlock the insurance."

"Doesn't that mean you didn't actually open the safety lock just now?"

Banami gave a slightly mocking smile, then placed the pistol on the table, gave it a gentle push, and the murder weapon was back in front of Toyokawa Sadaharu.

This time, Toyokawa Sadaharu's silence seemed unusually long.

"Why didn't you show this attitude when you were in Tokyo?"

It seems that after this series of threats and counter-threats, Toyokawa Sadaharu finally had the desire to "talk" to Hanami.

Banami thought to herself, "Am I supposed to tell you that I didn't have enough cat coins back then?"

Although that's what she was thinking, Banami still maintained a completely composed expression on her face.

"If it weren't for the time spent on the run, Old Deng would only be afraid of my 'magic' but wouldn't believe in my good intentions, right?"

It's easy to instill fear, but it's many times harder to gain trust.

You, who run such a large group, should understand this sentiment even better than I do.

After this period of pursuit, you should know some news about our journey from various sources.

At least for now, you probably can't deny my feelings for Xiangzi.

Or rather, you should thank me for my love for your granddaughter that you are able to sit down and talk now.

Without this experience, if I had immediately shown you a threat in Tokyo, you might have agreed to my request on the surface, but then you would have done everything in your power to kill me.

Whatever secrets I'm hiding, for those in power, the dead are the safest.

Toyokawa Sadaharu recalled the fragmented information he had received from Fujita's butler during this period.

In the surveillance video, Xiangzi always had a smile on his face.

But he quickly came to his senses and said, "Then how can you be sure I won't kill you like I did before?"

“Because Xiangzi is pregnant with my child,” Banami said.

Immediately, Toyokawa Sadaharu's eyes widened, only to hear Banami say, "Just kidding, we're always very careful about using contraception when we do it."

Upon hearing this, Toyokawa Sadaharu's blood pressure rose, and then a sweet, sticky feeling welled up in his throat, causing him to cough involuntarily.

After a long while, he glared fiercely at the boy.

Seeing a hint of pity on his face, Banai said, "Because, old Deng, you're out of time, so you can only gamble on me."

"Fujita, did you let it slip?" Toyokawa Sadaharu's face was somewhat gloomy.

But Banami gently shook her head and said, "I just felt it was strange from the beginning. Even when Xiangzi ran away from home and lived with her father, you didn't pay any attention to it on the surface."

But suddenly you've become so involved in Xiangzi's life. She's just come of age and you're already trying to find her a husband. No matter how you look at it, it's too hasty. Plus, I've seen you several times and heard you coughing occasionally...

The answer isn't hard to guess then.

Suddenly, as if struck by a thought, a glimmer of hope flashed in Toyokawa Sadaharu's eyes: "Does your 'magic trick' include a method to treat lung cancer?"

Banami gently shook her head and said, "You said it yourself, these are just 'magic tricks.' If I could do everything, I wouldn't need to waste time arguing with you here. I could just make you kneel down and call me grandpa, old Deng."

Toyokawa Sadaharu took a deep breath, but he wasn't particularly disappointed.

Banami calmly said, "So, since you don't have many options left, you'd better take a gamble on me and bet that my goal is the same as yours."

That is Xiao Xiang's happiness.

Toyokawa Sadaharu's rapidly deteriorating health prevents him from patiently waiting for Shoko to grow up and take over the Toyokawa family, enabling her to protect herself while also confronting those restless relatives.

The Toyokawa family's branch members were not all incompetent, forcing Toyokawa Sadaharu to personally expel Shoko's father from the family, thus disrupting the old man's planned handover.

That's why all those things happened afterward.

Now, Banami has proven himself, proving that he is not just an ordinary poor country boy, but for Toyokawa Sadaharu, this is still not enough.

"I say that my goal is the same as yours, that it's for Xiangzi's happiness, but we are ultimately different. The happiness I'm talking about for Xiangzi is that she can freely choose the life she wants to live, instead of the shackles and blood responsibilities imposed on her by you or anyone else," Banami said in a gentle voice.

But Old Deng just coldly said, "Naive. No one in this world is free. Everyone is a caged bird, just in different cages."

Banami's eyes flickered slightly as she said, "So, Toyokawa Sadaharu, I have a plan, a plan that can make everyone happy."

But for this good ending to be achieved, your consent is essential.

Therefore, Banami went through such a long and arduous process to gain some trust from this suspicious old man.

The goal is the happy ending that Banami told Shoko about.

Finally, we can get to the main topic.

Therefore, Banami revealed his entire plan without reservation, and even some of his ideas were not shared with Xiangzi.

During this process, Toyokawa Sadaharu's expression was gloomy and uncertain, and at times he would fall into deep thought.

"What do you think, old Deng?" After saying that, Banai let out a slight sigh of relief.

"What you've said is like castles in the air, utterly absurd," he said calmly.

“If someone else told you that, then that would be true, but sitting in front of you is me, the ‘magician’,” Banami said with a smile.

After a moment of silence, Toyokawa Sadaharu said, "Even if I agree to your plan, how can you guarantee that you have the ability to accomplish everything you're talking about?"

Suddenly, Banai laughed and said, "I knew you would ask that. Right now, we don't trust each other."

So, Old Deng, let's make a gamble, a gamble where we put our lives into the chamber of a gun.

Let's continue this game of escape.

This is the last time. If you can catch me, I will do whatever you say. But if... you still let Xiangzi and me escape.

"Then you should be able to believe that I have the ability and determination to protect your most beloved person in your place, right, Grandpa... cough cough, Grandpa!" Banami called out.

Toyokawa Sadaharu's lips twitched involuntarily. He thought to himself, this guy may be a "magician," but this unreliable and frivolous nature is not something he can fake.

While Toyokawa was criticizing him, Banami was also criticizing him in her mind.

Am I supposed to tell you that I don't have enough Cat Coins right now and want to stall for a while longer?

Toyokawa Sadaharu gently reached out and approached the pistol.

Banai noticed a slight tension on his face. Had the negotiations broken down, or...?

Then, Toyokawa Sadaharu moved his hand away from the pistol and pressed the doorbell on the table.

Not long after, the butler Fujita came into the study. When he saw Banami, he stared wide-eyed as if he had seen a ghost.

"Master...Master..."
