Zongman: Nagasaki Sushi's adopted brother

...

...

On the deserted street, only Xiangzi's harmonious footsteps echoed.

Mu followed the lonely Xiangzi, and the two of them walked quietly, neither of them making a sound. The atmosphere was so depressing that it was suffocating.

Finally, Shoko Toyokawa could no longer bear the silence and she stopped abruptly.

Xiangzi frowned tightly, turned around, put on an indifferent expression, and questioned Mu.

"Where are you going to follow?"

Ruo Yemu stopped when she heard this. She lowered her head and couldn't say a word. She just stood there silently.

Seeing this, Toyokawa Shoko became even more angry. She stepped forward with her left foot, leaned forward and asked Mu again, "Why didn't you stand on my side just now?"

"You are obviously my childhood sweetheart, why can't you support me?"

Ruoye Mu lowered his head more and more, and finally said what was in his heart helplessly, "I...can't let Xiang continue to stay in...Ave Mujica..."

“It’s bound to break…”

"Huh?!" Shoko Toyokawa tilted her head back, took a deep breath, then put on an extremely indifferent expression and continued to scold.

"Stop being a spoiled brat, is this the problem now?"

"If this continues, Mujica will be completely out of my control..."

Xiangzi's tone became heavier and colder, so cold that Wakaba Mutsu, who was standing opposite him, shrank back.

Mu was about to start explaining: "Xiang..."

As a result, Toyokawa Shoko didn't want to listen at all. She interrupted Wakaba Mu and said, "You always stood by me before..."

"Why are you standing opposite me now?!"

"Why..."

“Why don’t you speak up for me!!!”

Shoko Toyokawa could no longer maintain that cold expression, and her whole mood gradually got out of control.

She slowly approached Wakaba Mu and began to list the "evidence" of Wakaba Mu's crimes.

"From the very beginning, Mu was hesitant to join..."

"At first, they even came to me alone and wanted to disband Mujica..."

"I told you to practice more, but you're still distracted when you play..."

"The day I took off my mask, I was asked to quit..."

"When they wanted to replace me, you didn't say anything..."

"In the interview program, they also said that Mujica wouldn't last long..."

"Now you want me to quit and are completely against me!!"

Shoko Toyokawa took heavy steps and slowly approached Wakaba Mutsu until their faces were only a fist away from each other.

She stared at her childhood sweetheart and whispered in her ear in the coldest tone: "Mu, do you know? Besides Mujica..."

"Besides this world, I have nothing left."

At this moment, Shoko Toyokawa seemed to have fallen into an endless dark abyss. Her whole body was wrapped in an invisible dark force, as if she was isolated from the world.

Her eyes were empty and cold, as if they had lost the last bit of warmth.

Then, she gently raised her right hand, and gently pressed her index finger and thumb against Mu's chin, lifting her face slightly and forcing Mu to look at her.

Xiangzi's face was emotionless. She stared at Mu with her cold eyes and said slowly, "Mu, be my puppet and just listen to me, okay?"

"But Xiang..." Ruo Yemu's pupils gradually shrank, and the light in his eyes gradually dimmed, as if he had lost his vitality.

【But if that’s the case, you’ll really...】

The memory flashed through her mind, the entrustment that drained all her life force.

"Mu, you are the closest person to Xiangzi right now. I'm leaving Xiangzi in your care."

She began to recall every moment she spent with Xiangzi, those innocent childhood days.

From childhood to adulthood, it has always been Xiangzi who has been silently protecting her. Xiangzi's strength and cheerfulness have become the warmest support in her heart.

【Why did it become like this? 】

However, now it is his turn to protect Xiangzi, but he finds that he is powerless and can only watch her get hurt.

Seeing that Wakaba Mu didn't react, Toyokawa Shoko couldn't help but feel a nameless anger rising in her heart. She emphasized again: "No buts!!"

"Mu, from now on you belong only to me and you can only listen to me."

She stared at Mu with all her might, trying to completely control her with her eyes.

"Mu, I only need you like this..."

"A delicate puppet without a mind."

This sentence seemed to be her final affirmation of herself and her final prayer for Mu.

After Toyokawa Shoko finished speaking, she turned around and slowly left, walking into the apartment building.

Only Ruo Yemu was left standing there expressionlessly. She just watched Xiangzi leave without saying a word.

【What should I do? 】

“Tick…”

"Tick, tick..."

“Tick, tick, tick…”

Wakaba Mu stood alone in the rain, the rain mercilessly hitting her body, her pure white socks were wet and stuck to her smooth ankles.

Her eyes gradually became empty, as if her soul had left her body, leaving only a shell standing there.

Raindrops fell on her hair and slid down her cheeks, mixing with her unshed tears.

【Mortis: It’s very uncomfortable, right?】

【Mortis: It's painful, right?】

In Wakaba Mutsu's inner world, Mortis held a black umbrella and wanted to hand it to Wakaba Mutsu, who had turned pure gray.

Mortis: I'm the only one willing to help Mutsuko-chan.

Mortis: Leave it to me, okay? Mutsuko-chan, after all, my best skill is acting.

[Mortis: I will help you fulfill Xiangzi's wish and become the doll she wants.]

Hearing these words, Ruoye Mu's eyes suddenly regained their spirit, like a lit candle.

The inner world began to change. The originally gloomy sky gradually cleared up, and the sunshine dispelled all the dark clouds.

Mu suppressed the urge to cry and reached out to pick up Mortis's umbrella.

[Mu: Mortis, help me]

After receiving the promise, Mortis turned into a monster covered in mud, becoming bigger and bigger.

Her body was twisted and deformed, and a perverse smile appeared on her face.

Mortis: Leave it to me. No need to work any harder.

Mortis, who became a monster, did not devour Wakaba Mu.

Instead, it transformed into a pure black protective layer of spikes, covering the entire surface of Ruoye Mu.

Mu fell into an eternal sleep, unable to hear or see anymore.

As long as Ye Mu can no longer sense the outside world...

Mortis finally expressed his true thoughts.

My dear Mutsuko Mi-chan, I will fulfill your wish.

No more pain, no more hurt.

I will protect you and avenge you.

【Return all the pain doubled】

I am her retribution

The heavy rain in reality is still falling continuously, as if baptizing this transformation.

Celebrating the birth of a monster.

Mortis walked in the rain, his steps becoming more and more strange and light.

She sang softly in her heart towards the sky:

"Every awakening is a rebirth, and not awakening again is...eternal death."

"I would weave a shell full of thorns for you and wrap you up"

"You won't realize you've fallen into a deep sleep."

"So, it's all right now."

"Because, I'm here."

"Shoko Toyokawa"

"Wait."

She grasped the hem of her skirt with both hands and saluted the heavy rain like a noble, revealing a terrifying smile, her eyes filled with endless rage...

Chapter 124 Su Shi: Mu, are you okay?

A few days later, Shirasagi-so in Hitoyoshi Onsen in Kumamoto welcomed new guests.

Wakaba Mu arrived in a limousine, facing the gazes of the former Kulaixaku members, and was placed in a private room next to Mygo.

When passing by the members of Kulaixiku, Ruoyemu showed an extremely bright smile and greeted everyone: "Lixi, Sushi, Deng, long time no see~ I missed you so much~"

Li Xi smiled faintly and responded at the same time: "Long time no see, Mu. Are you traveling here too?"

"Hmm..." Ruo Yemu nodded slightly, with imperceptible complex emotions flashing in his eyes.

Ever since Ku Lai Xi Ku disbanded, Li Xi has never met Mu again. He only heard that Mu and Xiangzi formed a band called Ave Mujica.

Li Xi, who already has Mygo, has let go of what happened. To her, Mu is now just an ordinary friend.

"Mu, long time no see..." Deng had the same thought as Lixi. She smiled happily at Mu, her eyes filled with sincere joy.

Su Shi on the side did not move. She lowered her head and stared at Ruo Yemu, picking her nails constantly, as if thinking about something.

Seeing this, Ruo Yemu ran up to them, opened his arms and hugged the three of them. His expression became more cheerful and he said, "I'm sorry for what happened in the past. It's all my fault..."

"Let's start over, shall we?"

The words Mu said were the same words Su Shi had said to Mu in the cucumber field in the Moon Forest.

"Well... let's start over." Deng and Lixi nodded at the same time.

All the former members of Ku Lai Xi Ku, except Xiangzi, reached a reconciliation at this moment.

"Hey, Mu, long time no see, how are you doing lately?"

Bai Ye appeared at this time and greeted Ruo Ye Mu who was surrounded by everyone.

However, something unusual happened.

Ruo Yemu was like a mouse that had encountered a cat. He hid behind Su Shi and looked at Bai Ye with a defensive look on his face.

Her eyes revealed intense fear and anxiety, as if she was trying to avoid some terrible threat.

"What did you do to Mu?"

Seeing this, Li Xi protected Ruo Yemu and looked at Bai Ye with a vigilant look.

She seemed to have misunderstood something, thinking that Bai Ye had hurt Mu without her knowledge.

That's why Mu had this reaction to Bai Ye.

"I didn't do anything! Li Xi, stop accusing people!"
