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

Combining Lixi's current panic, her feigned composure, and her behavior in the room earlier, he was already seventy or eighty percent certain—his younger sister definitely had feelings for Momoi Taro.

"I'm full!" Li Xi said, enunciating each word clearly. Almost as if fleeing, she turned and rushed back to her room, the door slamming shut behind her.

Maki watched as Riki fled back to her room, took a small sip, and said nothing.

On the other side,

In the home of Wakaba Mutsumi

After Wakaba Mutsu returned to the basement, in the corner of the living room, Mori Minami leaned against the wall and listened to everything that Motis made, remaining silent for a long time.

"Thump... Could it be that she already knows about that?"

Mori Minami stroked her chin, closed her eyes, and pondered for a moment, muttering to herself, "Or was she deliberately saying this today to test me?"

"Xiao Mu is such a natural actress, she's really hard to deal with." She sighed again, then opened her eyes slightly, her expression revealing a firm determination, and said softly, "It seems necessary to go and watch the live performance by the Dong Julong Flame Group."

Episode 23 of "Dong": The Dong Brothers and the Spinning Teacup?

On Saturday morning, the agreed meeting place was the bustling Smile Amusement Park. Everyone agreed to meet at 9:00 AM sharp under the prominent signboard at the park entrance.

The first to arrive at the meeting point were Aine and Ronai, whom she brought.

As the initiator of this gathering, Aine was naturally full of anticipation and enthusiasm for the event, and was ready to set off early in the morning. As for Ronai... although Aine didn't know her very well yet, it was normal for a free cat to do whatever it wanted, so just in case, Aine got up early and went directly to Ronai's house to "meet" her.

During the incident at the coin-operated parking lot, she took Renai home, thus learning Renai's address. Upon arriving at Renai's house safely, Aine rang the doorbell. Renai's grandmother opened the door. The elderly woman stood upright, with sharp eyes, giving off a stern and authoritative impression.

Ryuna's grandmother asked her various questions about the band. She briefly inquired about the band and Ryuna's performance from Aine, and also asked about Taro's recent situation. It seemed as if she knew Taro.

Aine patiently answered all of Grandma Rana's questions. Then, she pulled the lazy cat out of bed. Seeing Rana looking half-asleep and completely out of it, Aine was even more certain: it was a good thing she came herself, otherwise Rana would definitely be late today.

Now, Aine, with Rana whom she had finally managed to "pick up," stood under the signboard at the amusement park entrance, waiting for the other friends to arrive. However, after waiting for less than five minutes, Rana began to show obvious impatience. She gently tugged at Aine's sleeve, expressing her inner anxiety.

"I want to play the guitar." Lena looked at Aine, her voice brief and direct.

"No way!" Aine immediately put her hands on her hips, her tone gentle but firm, a helpless smile playing on her lips as she reminded him, "Rakuna didn't bring her guitar today either, did she!?"

"I want to go back." Lena said decisively, her gaze quickly turning back to the path she had come from, her feet shifting slightly as if she would act at any moment.

"No, no, I just can't do anything with you." Aine sighed softly, but her movements were swift and efficient. She skillfully took out matcha candy from her pocket, tore open the wrapper, and naturally offered it to Lena's lips: "Here, stay put."

Lena's gaze fell on the candy, and almost without hesitation, she opened her mouth and put it in her mouth. With the candy in her mouth, Lena's impatience seemed to lessen, and she stood quietly in place, slightly relaxing.

"You're here really early." The bassist of their band, dressed in a simple light gray knit sweater and jeans, walked over calmly and greeted them: "Good morning, Chihaya-kun, Kaname-kun. You two get along really well."

"Haha, good morning, Hailing." Aine responded with a smile, her tone light and matter-of-fact. As she spoke, she naturally reached out and gently poked Ryuna's soft cheek, who was still chewing matcha candy.

"Isn't it natural that I get along well with Xiao Le Nai? Xiao Le Nai is super cute, isn't she? And her face is so small and soft."

In response to Aine's sudden action and straightforward praise, Lena tilted her head slightly, her expression remaining unchanged as she let Aine's finger poke her. She didn't directly respond to Aine's praise, but calmly commented, "Aine, an interesting woman."

"Haha, little Renai is saying things I can't understand again." Aine smiled indulgently, gently rubbing Renai's head with her hand, revealing her affectionate tolerance. Then, she took out her phone and quickly glanced at the screen; it was almost nine o'clock. Remembering Momoi Taro's habit of always arriving right on time, she silently confirmed that he should be arriving soon.

But Nyanko-sensei is really slow to arrive today. Is something holding him up? Aine thought to herself, peeked out and scanned her surroundings. In the dense crowd, she immediately spotted a red jacket—Momoi Taro's jacket. It seemed like he only wore this jacket besides his work clothes. Aine often wondered if he had many identical jackets at home.

Who's next to him...? Meow Dream!?

She and Taro stood together, seemingly conversing in hushed tones, their posture revealing a natural understanding. Aine's gaze followed them intently, her face showing unexpected curiosity.

"Taro! Meow Meow!" Aine waved in their direction: "Here, here!" Rakuna and Hailin also turned their gazes in the direction Aine was waving, and saw Taro and Meow Meow in the crowd. And so the Dong Brothers duo reunited.

"How did Taro and Meowme get together?" Aine casually brought up the topic, her tone light and cheerful, but a hint of unease lurked in her eyes. She continued softly, "I don't remember Taro and Meowme living on the same street, right? What are you talking about?"

Seeing that Aine pretended to be nonchalant on the surface, but her eyes were filled with barely concealed nervousness, Miaomeng couldn't help but reach out and gently cover her lips, letting out a soft laugh, revealing a hint of interest. A thought flashed through her mind: Is Aiko jealous? Should she tease her a little?

However… Meow Dream's gaze secretly shifted towards Taro. She knew very well that the Admiral's personality was completely incapable of lying, and he probably wouldn't play along with her joke.

As expected, Taro responded to Aine's question without hesitation. He was naturally good at hiding his thoughts, and besides, there was no need to conceal the matter: "Nyan asked me for advice on her work, and I'm teaching her."

"I see." Aine secretly breathed a sigh of relief, revealed a bright smile, and said, "Then let's go in first."

Everyone had no objections and went through the ticket gate to enter the amusement park.

"Since we're here, let's start from there." Hai Ling lowered her head slightly, closed her eyes, and pondered, "This is my first time at an amusement park, I don't know where the fun rides are."

“I checked this amusement park. It didn’t have much fun before,” Aine said softly, tapping her lips with her finger. “But after Hello, Happy held a parade here two years ago, most of the rides were repaired. So this amusement park has everything that other amusement parks have. Meow Dream, Taro, and Little Renai, what do you want to ride?”

She confidently patted her chest and said, "I've memorized the map. I can lead the way if there's anything you want to do."

After saying that, Ai Yin excitedly took out her phone and snapped a few photos of the amusement park entrance and the other members of the Dong Brothers group. She quickly uploaded them to social media with the caption, "Amusement park adventure begins! Everyone is super excited~"

"I want to play the guitar," Lenai responded first, her tone crisp and decisive, but her thoughts were clearly off-topic.

"No way!" Aine reached out and pinched Ryuna's cheeks, pulling them to the sides. Ryuna's eyes widened in confusion, wondering why Aine was pinching her. Aine explained, "Since we're all here together, we should do something different from usual."

“Aiko is really energetic.” Meow Dream yawned, her voice lazy and revealing a hint of tired casualness. “I never expected Aiko to be the kind of person who researches places to visit in advance.”

“That’s true.” Taro stood with his arms crossed, unconcerned about Aine taking pictures. He simply added calmly, “I didn’t expect Aine and Saya to have such similar thoughts.”

"Haha, I don't usually do too much research, but today I'm the organizer, so it's my duty to make sure everyone has fun. Researching beforehand will make the experience even more enjoyable." Aine smiled, hands on her hips, then her expression turned thoughtful, her eyes filled with curiosity, forming an "Oo" shape: "Speaking of which, Saya... is that Roselia's Hikawa Saya?"

Ever since learning that Taro had stayed in Roselia, Aine had been researching Roselia online, partly to learn more about Taro. Of course, the most direct way would be to ask him directly, but she hadn't found the opportunity until today when they happened to be talking about it, so she decided to ask him.

“That’s right, Hikawa Saya, she’s also Hina’s older sister.” Taro crossed his arms and calmly responded to Aine’s words: “She’s also an important guitarist for Roselia.”

"I see... Um, Taro, could you tell me about your experience in Roselia?" Aine tilted her head. Sure enough, she still wanted to know more about Taro. She hadn't had time to ask before, but now that she had this rare opportunity, Aine certainly wouldn't miss it.

"Wait—" But Meow Dream interrupted Aine's brilliant plan. She looked embarrassed and asked softly, "Um, Aiko and Taisho... were you discussing this near the entrance?"

"Ahaha, that's what I meant." Ai Yin scratched her head a little embarrassedly, then thought for a moment and made a decision: "Then let's go to the teacups. This amusement park seems to have made special band versions because of Hello, Happy. It can seat five people without any problem."

The others naturally had no objections, and the five of them headed to the rotating teacup area. Taro made the decision to sit on a red teacup. Before starting, Aine took another group photo and uploaded it to social media, a good way to increase the band's visibility.

Before the device was turned on, Hai Ling asked Aine with a blank expression and a puzzled look, "Speaking of which, why didn't Chihaya-san ask me what I wanted to play?"

Hearing Hai Ling's words, Ai Yin touched her beautiful pink hair a little shyly and said with a light laugh, "It's just that Hai Ling doesn't seem like the type to have her own ideas. Sorry, I'll ask next time."

"I see, so it's a reasonable prediction based on my past performance?" Hai Ling fastened the buckle on her foot with a serious expression and said, "But unfortunately, this prediction failed. I have someone I want to challenge."

"I want to drink ginger ale and then ride a roller coaster without throwing up." With her ever-present icy expression, she uttered this incredibly absurd declaration that shocked the entire audience.

"Wow, I never expected Hai Zi to have this kind of personality." After Miao Meng had fastened the ankle straps according to the instructions, she heard Hai Ling's bizarre remark. She covered her face with a terrified expression and spoke in a frightened tone.

"Haha... Sorry, this just proves I don't know Hailing well enough." Aine laughed awkwardly, then emphasized the purpose of the amusement park trip again: "But that's also the purpose of this break, to get to know each other better."

Before she finished speaking, Aine deftly fastened her safety buckle. In terms of seating arrangement, she was right next to Taro and Nyanmu; Ryuna was on Taro's other side, while Hailin was positioned between Nyanmu and Ryuna, the five of them forming a circle.

Taro first fastened his own buckle, then bent down and carefully fastened Rakuna's ankle buckle. The cat's ears twitched slightly, looking somewhat uneasy.

After Taro stood up, he flashed a bright smile. Seeing this smile, however, a faint unease rose in the hearts of Aine and Nyanmu. When it comes to bizarre and outrageous remarks, Taro seemed to be the most bizarre of them all.

“I see, Hailing, that’s what you’re thinking.” He maintained his crossed arms posture and smiled confidently at Hailing, saying, “Since it’s a servant’s request, I will grant it—although there’s no ginger ale here, I can let you try a similar stimulating experience first.”

Upon hearing this, Aine and Meowme exchanged a glance, their unease instantly intensifying. Rana remained silent, only tilting her head slightly in confusion. Just as the two tried to intervene, the machine's startup sound rang out—

Taro placed his hands on either side of the spinning teacup, and the two became even more uneasy. Then, Taro's hands rubbed together at high speed, turning into a flesh-colored whirlwind that was no longer recognizable. He even swung the spinning teacup, leaving afterimages!

"Hahahaha! Come on, come on!" Taro continued his arrogant laughter even as he moved at high speed, shouting, "More and more—faster!"

The teacup they were sitting on suddenly transformed into a raging spinning top, and Aine, Meow Dream, and Hailing instinctively screamed. From the outside, the red teacup appeared to have completely turned into a red hurricane, spinning rapidly in the saucer.

It was nothing more than spinning their teacups, but Taro swung them around like they were in a centrifuge. They felt like they'd been thrown into a washing machine. —A crowd instantly gathered outside the fence, passersby excitedly snapping photos with their phones, while everyone else sitting on the same turntable stared intently at their teacups.

It was only two minutes, but to the three of them it felt like two centuries. As soon as the teacup spinning ended, all four of them collapsed, some slumped over, some leaning back, inside the spinning teacup.

Taro shook his head slightly. These servants were so fragile. How could he feel at ease if they were to perform live for the entire audience like this? He bent down and helped them unbutton their clothes, then supported two of them with one hand, hoisting them both onto his shoulder.

He easily lifted the four people out of the teacup and walked towards the rest area.

Episode 24 of "Don", Blue Rose and Bakutaro

Taro carried the four women on his shoulders and walked to the rest area, settling them down in chairs one by one. Rakuna didn't scream; it seemed she had already fainted the moment the spinning began.

Not long after, the four of them woke up one after another. The first thing they did upon waking up was rush to the sink. Except for Hai Ling, the other three were vomiting violently.

The skirt was different. She covered her mouth tightly, trying to swallow the undigested food in her throat, but she could only hold on for a short while before she couldn't help but vomit.

"What incompetent servants." Taro sat back down in his original seat, head held high. Even while seated, his posture still gave off a condescending feeling: "If you can't even tolerate this much, what are you going to do when you're doing a live performance?"

"Yue—" Aine had already emptied her stomach completely, but she still couldn't help gagging. Hearing Taro's words, Aine couldn't help but gag and object, "This has absolutely nothing to do with live performances!"

“The stage at the Budokan rotates,” Taro calmly refuted Aine, stating the facts: “If you felt dizzy at that time, it would be very bad if it affected your performance.”

“Even the rotation at the Budokan obviously doesn’t produce such a noticeable spinning sensation.” Hailing, who had endured until the very end and was the last to recover, tried her best to refute Taro’s words in a calm tone, but she couldn’t hide her weakness: “This level of spinning stimulation is obviously not very reasonable.”

"That's right, General, you can't just be stubborn! Ugh—" Meow wanted to chime in, but the nausea in her throat made her gag again. After feeling a little better, she took out tissues from her bag and distributed them to everyone.

“Stare—” Renai recovered quickly. She stared at Taro’s face without saying anything. Aine, who was next to her, wiped her face clean first, and then used a clean tissue to wipe Renai’s mouth.

"Taro~ Don't shirk your responsibilities!" Aine said to Taro in a lecturing tone.

"...I know, I'm sorry." Taro's voice returned to normal as he spoke to the four people on the other side.

"!?!" Aine suddenly perked up, rushed to Taro's side, placed her hands on the table, leaned down and stared intently into his eyes: "Taro—you just apologized, right!? Do it again! I didn't hear you clearly, please! Say it again!"

Taro quickly stood up, then turned around, his back to Aine, and said firmly with his head held high, "No! Whether it's a compliment, a thank you, or an apology, you only need to say it once!"

"Please! Just say it one more time, okay!" Aine was unwilling to give up. She bent down and went around to Taro's side, grabbed his arm, and looked up at him with her head tilted up.

"No...wait? Maybe Aiko did it on purpose?"

Miao Meng's gaze fell on Aine's posture, tightly clasped around Taro's arm and leaning forward. If Aiko's figure were a little more outstanding, this move might be considered a killer move. She sighed silently in her heart, then put on a big smile and smoothed things over, saying, "Well, although I'm a little embarrassed to interrupt your flirting, Aiko, didn't you want to ask about the General in Roselia?"

"Ah, right..." Ai Yin suddenly remembered the important matter and began to think seriously, hoping to find a place where they could chat without interfering with their sightseeing. Then she realized what Miao Meng had said, puffed out her cheeks, and said angrily, "Miao Meng, you're so mean! I wasn't flirting at all."

“That’s right, it’s just normal interaction between master and servant.” Taro raised his head and said matter-of-factly. But hearing Taro say that, Aine felt a little lost and anxious.

Miao Meng sighed again. Aiko wasn't usually such an awkward person. She softly suggested, breaking the awkward silence, "How about we go to the Ferris wheel?"

That facility is fully automated, which at least prevents Taro Momoi from causing any more accidents.

Hai Ling, who had recovered, nodded in agreement: "Let's do it this way."

So, the five members of the Dong Brothers group marched towards the Ferris wheel. They entered the cabin one by one and waited quietly for it to start. As the machine hummed and began to run, the Ferris wheel slowly rose, a slight vibration reaching their feet. The amusement park outside the window gradually shrank into colorful blocks, and a sense of tranquility, suspended in mid-air, quietly permeated the cabin.

Aine's eyes unconsciously drifted towards Taro, her body leaning slightly forward. Hailin and Rana sat on either side of Taro, calmly looking out the Ferris wheel window at the amusement park, seemingly uninterested in the conversation.

Miao Meng smiled and asked with a mischievous squint, "Then, General, can you tell me now? What was your experience in Roselia?"
