However, faced with this provocation, Kamiya Yu remained calm and showed no anger. He rested his left hand on his chin, chuckled, and nodded, agreeing, "That's true, but my conclusion wasn't reached by listening to your performance."
He covered his mouth with both hands and pulled it down, creating a sullen, bitter face with the corners of his mouth turned down. 4
"Mu, you look worse every day. Is something on your mind?"
Ruoye Muku was startled, her slender hand reaching towards her lips, and sure enough, she felt a curve similar to that made by Kamiya Yu.
Her facial muscles also seemed a little tense.
This is……
"You're really angry, aren't you?"
Kamiya Yu spoke frankly, worried that if he spoke to Mutsu, who was straightforward, in a roundabout way like he did with Ritsuki and Akari, the girl might not understand.
Staring at Kamiya Yu's confident assertion, Wakaba Mutsu remained stunned for a long time, unable to react. After a while, a hint of surprise involuntarily appeared in his eyes. He widened his golden pupils and murmured, "...Can I get angry too?"
she does not know.
She never knew she could get angry.
Perhaps she was angry and rebellious about some of her parents' arrangements when she was young, but at that age, she has no memory of those times at all.
All that's left is to obey the orders and commands of one's parents, and only when spending time with one's other half, one's childhood sweetheart, can one find a moment of self-awareness and relaxation that belongs to humanity.
She never, and dared not, get angry with her parents.
There's no need to be angry with Xiangzi.
But now, stunned, Wakaba Mutsu finally realized that a feeling was lingering in her heart that was causing her great distress.
That feeling was like an inextinguishable flame, causing the corners of her mouth to turn down more and more, and her face to become increasingly contorted.
Because I've never been angry before, I don't know how to express or vent my anger.
She only does these things subconsciously, hoping someone will notice and realize it before she loses control.
This was not what she wanted to do, but rather a form of rebellion made without understanding anything, following her own instincts that she herself had not even realized.
only……
Because from the very beginning, when facing everyone, he always had a calm and composed expression, like a puppet that would never have any emotions.
So even though Mu's face was getting more and more haggard every day, as bandmates, for more than a week, not a single person could notice.
Even Xiangzi, because he had to devote his attention to composing music, coordinating the band, and taking extra care of You and Deng, neglected to pay attention to his childhood sweetheart.
Only Yu Kamiya.
Originally, he might not have noticed, but due to some conflicting feelings and his gaze on Xiangzi's half-body, he finally stood up and made it clear before everything reached an irreversible point.
Given his emotional intelligence, he shouldn't have waited until now to realize this, but his understanding of Mu is indeed very limited.
After all, during their first meeting and the second meeting after the band was formed, Mu had a completely expressionless, doll-like face.
And the extent to which she outwardly displays her emotional fluctuations is truly far too little.
Not only did he not express his dissatisfaction verbally like others, but even the changes in his facial expression took so many days for him to finally be able to confirm them.
Immediately, Kamiya Yu understood.
“If we leave it alone, it’ll explode. Mu, do you want to tell me what you think?” he said in a low voice.
Xiangzi is currently chatting with Su Shi, and Deng and Li Xi are also focused on that. Only he and Mu are sitting in the corner, where he can comfortably give advice without worrying about being overheard.
Wakaba Mutsu stared blankly at him.
After a long pause, she looked down at the floor and said, "You, is it also because of Xiang that you care about me?"
Just like Su Shi.
Upon hearing this, Kamiya Yu immediately quieted down.
He had to admit that he really hadn't expected Mu to see things so clearly, and through this seemingly inquiring question, he also figured out exactly what Mu was angry about.
Although it seems like an inquiry... the resentment inside is actually Mutsu's true intention.
What did the formation of the band bring her?
He, Kamiya Yu, cared about everyone and took the initiative to build relationships with everyone, but he overlooked Wakaba Mutsumi.
As for the other girls, even Xiangzi, their interactions with Mu in the band were visibly, shockingly, extremely rare.
So, what exactly did this band bring her?
Is it just to take up her time?
Kamiya Yu fell silent.
Although he didn't say it, he has indeed been deliberately distancing himself from and ignoring Mu recently.
Unlike his indifference towards Deng, he only wanted Xiangzi to establish his authority before getting to know Deng better and becoming lifelong friends.
But he kept his distance from Mu...
He's been thinking about this a lot lately.
How should we deal with Xiangzi's remaining body?
Because the aura of Xiangzi emanating from the other person was so strong that he couldn't ignore it, he was genuinely afraid that if they got too close and interacted frequently, he might one day lose control and do something he shouldn't have because he didn't want Xiangzi's other half to fall into someone else's hands.
But if he does something outrageous to Mu, even if he can use coercion and manipulation to shut Mu up, how can he face Xiangzi then?
He couldn't let down Xiangbao, whom he loved so much and who loved him so much in return.
Therefore, he ultimately chose to ignore him.
Even if they're in the same band, if he continues to be sidelined, he and Mu will have nothing to do with each other anymore. As long as he's willing to let go, everything is negotiable.
But that won't work.
It turns out that if he didn't do something, Mu wouldn't have been able to fit into the band, Crychic, which Xiangzi liked and which he was now gradually coming to truly like.
If Mu's mentality explodes, he will eventually leave the band in a sorry state.
If Mu leaves in such a wounded state, even if he has feelings for others, Xiangzi will have no choice but to end the band, and Crychic will be destroyed in an instant.
if that is the case……
Kamiya Yu looked around the training room.
Perhaps by then, the emotional trauma suffered by everyone won't last too long. At least, apart from Deng, everyone else should be able to put this matter behind them within a year or two at the latest, since it's only a new band that's been around for about two weeks.
However, as the ringleader of the four culprits, the kind-hearted Xiang Jiuzi will definitely feel guilty for a very long time, and that guilt will accompany her even ten years later.
Is that the kind of situation he wants to see?
No, never!
Volume 1: Chapter 116, Section 115. Mutsu's Memories - This C-Team is really united.
Kamiya Yu could lie, but after careful consideration, he chose to tell the truth.
Because this time he doesn't need to lie:
"There are reasons for Xiangzi's sake, but I'm also doing this for your own."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ruo Yemu turned her head and looked at him. Her eyes, which, like her face, revealed no inner emotions, stared straight at him, as if trying to rip out all the guilt deep in his heart.
But Kamiya Yu has a clear conscience.
Although it was for the aura of Xiangzi that belonged to Mutsu, those things could not be isolated. The consequence of his possessiveness was that he wanted to imprison Mutsu, the whole person, forever by his and Xiangzi's side.
“When we last met, I told you that I hoped we could be friends for life. I betrayed you first, and I apologize for my wavering over the past two weeks. But I’m going to bring up this plan again. What do you think?” he rambled on.
"……I have no idea."
Ruo Yemu weakly bent her knees, hugged them with both hands, and curled up in an uneasy posture, looking quite bewildered.
She didn't understand Kamiya Yu at all, and had no idea what kind of person Kamiya Yu was.
She also knew that Kamiya Yu didn't understand her at all.
That's clearly the case, so why was he able to barge in and say things that left her speechless?
Seeing Mutsu on guard, Kamiya paused for a moment. This was going to be even more difficult than turning on the light.
At least, the lamp wasn't wary of him.
“Muto,” Kamiya Yu thought for a moment, then cut to the chase, “Have you ever hated me? Hated me for taking away your childhood friend?”
“…I don’t know,” Wakaba Mutsu said in a muffled voice, her eyelids drooping.
"Is that so? Then let me put it another way."
Kamitani Yu looked at the four girls mingling happily on the other side and asked softly, "How have you felt about being in this band so far?"
This time, Wakaba Mutsu remained silent for a long time, not answering immediately, and her final answer was different from before:
"I have never felt happy playing in a band, not even for a single day."
Kamitani Yu looked at Mutsu, whose face was filled with extreme sorrow when she said those words, which made Kamitani Yu's heart clench, as if he saw half of Shoko weeping.
He looked at Mu, remained silent for a long time, and then nodded: "Is that so? I understand."
It was at this time that the time came to rent the training room.
Everyone was tidying up their instruments, preparing to disperse and conclude today's team-building training.
"Xiangzi," Kamiya Yu stood up and called softly to Xiangzi, "Today, I'll take Mutsu home."
It was usually Xiangzi who delivered it.
As soon as he finished speaking, all was silent.
Toyokawa Shoko, who had been secretly watching Yuu and Mutsumi's distance, hesitated for a few seconds before finally agreeing. She then reached up and smoothed a strand of blue hair that fell beside her ear, using the gesture to conceal her forced smile, and chuckled softly as she said:
"Really? Hmm... I understand, Yu. Be careful on the road, please be safe. I'm still waiting for you to marry me when I turn eighteen, okay?"
Kamiya Yu nodded with a smile: "I know."
He gazed at Xiangzi's fair face. If there were no one else around, he would have rushed over immediately, embraced this girl who was the most precious treasure in the world, and kissed her face endlessly.
Both Takamatsu Akari and Shiina Tatsuki hesitated to speak.
Shiina Tatsuki's initial joy at her improved training turned into a sour expression.
Being with Xiangzi is one thing, after all, he's her chosen fiancée. Although she doesn't know if their parents have agreed, their relationship is already solid, so she has no right to say anything.
