V6 Final Chapter [Perfect Score]

Hiding under the covers, Sakiko's eyes trembled as only her steam-red little head peeked out.

Uika's whimpers rose and fell, then stopped eerily for a few seconds, only to be followed by Taki's broken pleas for mercy. The escalating sounds pierced through Sakiko's ears again and again, making sleep completely impossible.

"…Didn't I just say this earlier?"

Soyo, lying in the bed with her back turned, spoke softly. Her sideways posture seemed stiff and unnatural. She was try...

V6 Chapter 176: Sleepless

"…"

The black-haired girl quietly turned her gaze toward the bed beside hers. The silver-haired, soft-haired cat-girl was fast asleep, the silvery moonlight spilling in through the window screen making even the little drool at the corner of her mouth sparkle crystal clear.

Lying in bed, Taki took a deep breath. The thought of what was about to happen made her whole body tense up like stone. Yet, after a moment's hesitation, she steadied herself again, mustering up the courage to...

V6 Chapter 175: Then just wait and see~

"Merry Christmas!"

Crystal-clear glasses clinked lightly in the air, the crisp sound mingling with the joyful cheers of the girls. The living room buzzed with chattering voices, the warm orange glow of the lights seemed to sweep away every trace of pressure and weariness.

"Let's go all out tonight!"

"Ohhhh!"

Kita Ikuyo flashed her radiant, sun-bright smile as she wrapped her arms around Chihaya Anon's pale neck, her flame-red skirt flaring like a blooming rose, creatin...

V6 Chapter 174: Who Are You Calling Jealous?

"Looks like there aren't any stars tonight either."

Misumi Uika's voice carried a hint of wistfulness as she raised her eyes to the pitch-black sky, a sky that seemed to seal off the world beyond. Snow swirled and fell in silence, veiling even the faintest traces of starlight.

But she remembered something.

The first time she tasted Haru's cooking, when he personally walked her out, the night had looked much the same. Back then she had been torn and fragile, too afraid to adm...

V6 Chapter 173: I Have to Leave Now

"Haru, welcome home~"

She stood at the entryway in a pure white dress that fell below her knees. Her long blue hair, as vivid as the sea, was tied neatly into shoulder-length twin tails. With her hands resting lightly on her stomach, she carried herself with the elegance and grace of a proper young lady.

To Haru's eyes, her smile was radiant and gentle. But to Taki, who stood beside him as another girlfriend, that same smile was nothing short of terrifying. It had been so long sin...

V6 Chapter 172: Wouldn’t That Make Her Part of the “maskot” Group?

Eating alone?

Ryo's words carried no particular weight, spoken in her cool, elegant tone that blended into the low hum of the heater, yet they struck the air like shards of ice shattering on the floor, sharp and clear.

"Eh?"

Kita Ikuyo froze mid-movement, yogurt still in hand. Her long lashes trembled lightly in the steam rising around them.

Tilting her head, her hair brushed against Taki's flushed ear. With a faint look of puzzlement in her lovely eyes, she said, "But...

V6 Chapter 171: I See Your Intentions Are Anything but Pure!

Shiina Taki didn't know how to take the initiative.

Other than Takamatsu Tomori and Wakaba Mutsumi, she had been among the very first to confirm her relationship with Haru. And yet, time and time again, hesitation and lack of resolve held her back, leaving her constantly overtaken by the others.

Standing still was the same as falling behind.

Every girlfriend by Haru's side had her own strengths, her own special talents. Each one's determination and patience was enough to imp...

V6 Chapter 170: Christmas

The next day.

December 24th, Christmas.

As the last holiday of the year, Christmas symbolized the end of one cycle and the beginning of another. For Haru, this Christmas carried an especially strong meaning, because this holiday was often tied to reunion.

Whether as a future family member or as a present lover, no couple would overlook such an important day. Just thinking of that was enough for him, a boy with many girlfriends, to have started preparations long in advance. 2025-09-19 16:24:02 +0000 UTC View Post

V6 Chapter 169: Invincible War God Mutsumi

Soon, the solo interview came to an end.

The girl who left the studio had already changed clothes. Her stage outfit as Amoris was gone, replaced by a gray-black skirt that hugged her hips, along with a stylish long gray coat. Her long, fair legs, slender and shapely, were accentuated by a pair of mature high heels.

"Nya-mu! Work is finally over for today~" (Jojo reference)

Her voice carried a sweetness like sugar as she lazily stretched.

Her already st...

V6 Chapter 168: Now You Realize She’s Cute?

She was serious.

Yuutenji Nyamu had sensed it long ago. Even though she had always found Haru's infuriating personality somewhat annoying, she could never ignore the charm he carried. Whether it was his ability or his looks, he perfectly matched what she sought.

Now that she suddenly realized her feelings for him, she immediately became aware of the tangled, chaotic relationships around him. Even if she did not want to admit it, every member of Ave Mujica was an exceptional girl.<...

V6 Chapter 167: Who’s That Woman You’re Dating? 

She didn't hesitate once the thought struck.

Nyamu had always considered herself someone with strong initiative. Back when she decided to take off her mask, she hadn't wavered. Now that she felt the need to test the waters, her body moved before her mind even finished processing.

Catching Haru still holding the camera and unprepared, Nyamu used her drummer's strength to push him flat onto the bed. Her soft, curvy body pressed against him as her light-pink eyes boldly locked onto h...

V6 Chapter 166: Him, a guy like this?!

Perhaps it was because the impact of the previous two lives had been so overwhelming, Ave Mujica's third tour performance had already fermented enough attention to reach a certain limit. Countless eyes from the outside world were now fixed on their next stage, and the preparations for it needed to be even more thorough.

Because of this, even without Haru, their manager, needing to personally supervise, the girls of the band had been extending their practice hours on their own initiative...

V6 Chapter 165: A Breath That Cannot Be Swallowed!

In Yuutenji Nyamu's eyes, chasing after popularity and fame by any means was nothing to be ashamed of. She had her own goals and a family that needed her support. No matter what, she had to earn enough money.

This fierce determination supported a sixteen-year-old girl who struggled alone in the abyss-like metropolis of Tokyo. One misstep and she would be swallowed by the city, so she could only fight with everything she had.

But that same determination also made her unable to calm...

V6 Chapter 164: What’s the Use of Effort?

"What are you doing here at this point?"

The words from the girl in front of him sounded as if she were grinding her teeth, and at the same time full of self-reproach.

Yuutenji Nyamu stood at the doorway of her apartment with a calm expression, while Haru, dressed in loungewear, looked like a purple cat with its fur on end. Her fine eyebrows were raised sharply like blades, and those pink, diamond-bright eyes stared at him without blinking.

"I came to talk," Haru said.

V6 Chapter 163: A deserted island

—The next day, RiNG—

A black-haired boy in a gray coat sat in the corner of RiNG's second-floor café, a faint curve on his lips. A steaming cup of tea rested at his side, and a laptop was open in front of him.

The quiet of winter carried a kind of spell that could make one sink into it. Even with the year-end approaching, Haru remained absorbed in work. But today, instead of shutting himself up in his room for "intensive study," he had come to RiNG's café to...

V6 Chapter 162: Enough is enough, no need to endure any longer!

Damn, there was a certain beauty to being spoiled.

Just a few hours together, and Haru could clearly feel it. Perhaps Miss Soyo had never once forgotten her idea of wanting to spoil him rotten. Her meticulous, mother-like care was honestly a little too powerful.

"…Please, Haru, sit still and don't move around."

Her warm jade-like fingers suddenly pressed harder, sending a current shooting up the back of his neck.

That calm, sweet voice whispered from behind his ear. ...

V6 Chapter 161: Nagasaki Soyo’s “Monopoly”

CRYCHIC's farewell Live, polished through relentless training, finally came to a perfect close. Perhaps because their "new song" had just been completed, the members of MyGO threw themselves into practice with even greater focus, preparing in full force for the post-New Year Future World Fes.

And then, in the blink of an eye, several days slipped past...

Of course, long stretches of band rehearsals always required breaks and adjustments. Following their usual rhyt...

V6 Chapter 160: Steadily Moving Toward the Future

Haru's lips twitched slightly. He chose not to dig too deeply into the topic of his little girlfriends' chatter, and instead asked in a subtle tone, "There are less than ten minutes left before we go on stage. How is everyone doing with preparations?"

"No need to worry desuwa!"

Togawa Sakiko cast a sidelong glance at the other girls standing nearby, then placed her right hand on her chest as usual, her graceful posture matched with a warm smile.

Standing here, she no longer ...

V6 Chapter 159: The One Who Should Say Sorry

The one who should apologize, in her eyes, was not Mutsumi.

Soyo parted her lips as if to speak, but at the sight of Mutsumi's blank expression, she held her words back. She bit down hard on her paling lips, her sapphire-blue eyes glimmering with turbulent emotions.

The air by the garden bed grew heavy with silence, but it did not remain unbroken.

Standing still, Soyo slowly lifted her head. Her lashes trembled faintly, betraying her complicated feelings, yet her gaze grew f...

V6 Chapter 158 Are You Praying?

The evening breeze carried a faint chill as it swept along with scattered shards of rainbow light, brushing gently past the girl's burning ear tips. Her feet, wrapped in thick, snow-ready boots of pale brown, moved in sync with Haru's steady steps.

Soyo had never imagined that such an opportunity would come so easily. Nor had she thought that her precious time alone with her husband would come thanks to Sakiko's help, which now made their previous quarrels seem somewhat laughable.

V6 Chapter 157: “The Past” and “The Future”

For both the current MyGO and the former CRYCHIC, there was one song that required no rehearsal, one they could all perform perfectly. It was also the first piano piece Haru ever played before them.

That song, etched into everyone's hearts, was naturally the one with lyrics by the little penguin and composition by Sakiko —
"Haruhikage."

Even if Taki hadn't stood on stage with Sakiko for a year, she would never forget the rhythm of that song on the drums.

"…There's no...

V6 Chapter 156: A Song? Isn’t There Already One?

"What on earth is going on?"

Still wearing her work uniform, Taki looked completely lost. Just a moment ago, she had been wondering what Haru was secretly talking to Tomori about. Who could have guessed that the guy would suddenly drag her out and, with the most serious face, start arranging a Live right on the spot?

Granted, booking a Live was part of her job as staff. But she was also a member of Mygo, and as a bandmate, of course she had to figure out what was happening.

...

V6 Chapter 155: Even if Lost

The girl's violet eyes had just now been soft as water, yet in the next instant they narrowed with a glint as sharp as a blade. That gaze fell cold as winter snow upon the nape of his neck, her discontent practically written across her face.

She had thought he came especially to see her, only to turn and ask about where to find Tomori instead?

She believed she had hidden that faint sting of disappointment well, but of course it could never escape Haru's eyes. He slowly reached out...

V6 Chapter 154: You Silly Girl

Backstage, in the preparation room.

Haru slowly removed Lucis's mask, still hearing the thunderous applause echoing from the hall. The audience's passion and cheers finally allowed him to breathe out in relief.

"Looks like everything went fine."

Togawa Sakiko placed her black-laced mask on the table. She smoothed the folds of her crimson dress almost without thinking, the silk wrapping gracefully around her blossoming figure.

When she had pulled off her mask on stage m...

V6 Chapter 153: So This Is Your True Face

The crimson curtain slowly descended from the ceiling, while the eerie yet elegant melody of a puppet play echoed through the hall. On that familiar, towering stage sat several "puppets," and at this moment the one representing Lucis(Haru), the Light, was delivering his chant.

His tall figure paced across the stage. This boy, who should have been clutching a clipboard and running around backstage, now moved with the rhythm of eighth notes, his performance astonishing th...

V6 Chapter 152: Little Sakiko is Pretty Dense

"Ah, Haru, you must be laughing at me in your heart, aren't you?!"

I was wrong, you're the real psychic here.

Maybe it was her natural "woman's intuition." Even though Haru hadn't said a word, his slip was obvious enough that Sakiko, with her thin skin, grew even more flustered. She pressed hard against the hem of her bath towel with one hand.

Haru covered his forehead with his palm and replied in the most serious tone he could muster. "No, no, no, how could I possibly laugh...

V6 Chapter 151: The True Lady Sakiko

Though they hadn't yet exchanged engagement rings like Haru had with "Little Cumcumber" to Sakiko in this moment, she and Kazami Haru had already gone from lovers to husband and wife. Their relationship was on the brink of a qualitative change.

"S-something like that…"

"We've been out walking all day, and now that I think about it, I really am a little tired."

Her voice trembled as she coughed lightly, trying to cover her embarrassment. Sh...

V6 Chapter 150: Matters of the Togawa Family

A Maybach?

Haru's gaze toward the black luxury sedan carried a hint of surprise. A car of this price showing up here was rare enough. Thinking that, he turned abruptly toward the girl beside him.

Judging from the look of things, this was hardly a coincidence.

"…"

Togawa Sakiko, whose face had just been shining with a sweet smile, suddenly furrowed her brows. Her eyes, filled with unusual seriousness, fixed on the car. The hand that had been tightly interlocked with H...

V6 Chapter 149: She Has No Regrets

Shards of sunlight filtered through the glass dome of the shopping street, scattering specks of light across the tips of the girl's blue hair. Resting her forehead against the plastic curtain of the photo booth, she absently rubbed the edge of the freshly printed picture between her fingers.

She was even happier than she had imagined.

For most high school girls, these photo stickers were nothing more than a casual pastime. Yet Togawa Sakiko held them as if they were priceless trea...

V6 Chapter 148: The Foolish Young Lady Is a Bit Cute

Perhaps because it was the peak of the holiday rush, the train car was even more crowded than expected. When Haru looked up, all he saw were swaying heads, and since there was no empty space to be found, he chose to steady himself by the window.

Of course, he was not the only one.

The carriage jolted with a crisp clang. Standing in the corner, Haru gripped the iron railing by the window with one hand, while the other rested against the wall to shield the blue-haired twin-tailed gi...
