He believed that his movements would not alarm anyone, but as soon as he opened the window and was about to fly into the room by hanging on his wings, he ran into Wakaba Mutsu standing in the room.

The cold moonlight poured in from the window, making Ritsu Narose's hair shine slightly.

Realizing that half of his body was still outside the window, Ritsu Narushe could only temporarily fold his wings and use a more simple room to crawl through the window.

But when he completely entered the girl's boudoir, he realized that what he was doing seemed a little impolite.

Without the slightest embarrassment, Naruse Ritsu explained seriously, "I said I just came to see if you were really asleep... Do you believe me?"

"..."

Without saying anything, Ruo Yemu just nodded silently.

Seeing that the girl seemed to understand his thoughts, Ritsu Narose finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as he was about to speak, his extraordinary intuition made him realize that something strange was happening to the girl opposite him.

Without any hesitation, he looked at the girl in a white dress and asked, "You are Ruoye, right?"

"Um……"

"You've changed back again," Naruse Ritsu blinked and suddenly smiled, "But this doesn't affect our previous agreement. I've already put the blame on Miss Mortis for standing me up."

Leaning against the window, Naruse Ritsu said seriously, "I came here just to ask Wakaba-san if she has made a decision."

"Are you going to go through with what we agreed to do this afternoon? Or are you going to cancel it?"

When you step on the outdoor steel ladder, the rusty metal makes a teeth-grinding squeak.

As the altitude gradually increased, the only sound in his ears was the whistling wind, and behind him, apart from another pair of footsteps that did not overlap with Naruse Riku's, there was no other unnecessary movement.

It was not until Ritsu Narose pushed open the iron door leading to the top floor that he heard the extremely nervous breathing sound behind him.

Turning around, he saw Ruo Ye Mu holding onto the door frame, his slightly curved chest heaving violently.

Apparently, tonight's exercise was a bit too much for a grown-up lady.

Without rushing to the rooftop shrouded in darkness, Naruse Ritsu stood in the hallway, where the voice-activated lights were activated, and looked at the girl standing beside him. "Wakaba-san, you should know that Mortis and I agreed to take turns answering each other's questions this afternoon."

"She asked me what lies I had told Wakaba-san, and I answered them all. Then, it was my turn to inquire about the reason for her appearance in Wakaba-san's presence."

At this point, Naruse Ritsu paused, then asked in confusion, "She said Wakaba-san must hate me, but Wakaba-san can't do that, so she did it for me."

"Can I ask why?"

Wakaba Mutsu had never expected that Narose Ritsu would bring up such a thing directly. He hurriedly raised his head, then lowered his head again under his gaze.

"Because of Xiangzi..."

"Xiangzi?"

The sudden answer stunned Ritsu Narose for a moment.

Then, he smiled distressedly and said, "Don't say such things in front of Xiangzi, otherwise she might get angry."

Looking up, Ruo Yemu looked confused: "Why?"

"Because Wakaba-san is too straightforward."

In Ritsu Narose's opinion, whether it is Mortis, who serves as Wakaba Mutsuki's substitute, or Wakaba Mutsuki herself, they are essentially the same "straightforward".

Because she is straightforward, she will inadvertently speak her true feelings without thinking in advance whether her words will touch other people's sensitive hearts.

If Xiangzi, who had a strong sense of self-esteem, had heard what she had just said, he would probably have felt confused and unhappy.

"Well, let's put aside the whole 'hating me' thing for now."

Pushing open another tightly closed iron door, Ritsu Narose walked from the narrow corridor to the rooftop.

The pale moonlight carved out his figure and illuminated the gray concrete building.

In stark contrast to the neon lights in the distance, this high-rise building resembles a silent, cold tomb. The traces of human construction do not bring the modernity that urban architecture should have, but instead evoke the wasteland world of science fiction.

Standing on the roof, Ritsu Narose quietly looked at the brightly lit city night view in the distance.

If Ye Mu tilted her head, she would see the brilliance reflected in his eyes.

After admiring the distant scenery for a while, Naruse Ritsu finally spoke: "Mortis told me that Wakaba-san seems to take Xiangzi too seriously."

"Vines need to cling to something strong and sturdy in order to maintain their upright posture. If it were someone else, I wouldn't criticize this unhealthy way of living."

"But you're different." Turning to look at Wakaba Mutsu, Naruse Ritsu's eyes flashed with a pale blue light. "I can't just stand by and watch my friend continue on the wrong path."

"Wakaba-san thinks too little of herself, and therefore cannot even see the meaning of her own existence."

"The...meaning of existence?" Ruo Yemu frowned slightly, looking puzzled.

"No matter what kind of creature it is, as long as it's alive, its existence has meaning. But Ruoye-san gives me a different feeling from ordinary people. It seems that your purpose is only to make Xiangzi happy."

Hearing this, even Mortis, who had been trying to get out of Wakaba Mu's mind since he woke up, was stunned.

Without continuing to argue for control of her body, she sat obediently in the small dark room conceived by Ruoye Mu, quietly watching the live broadcast screen in front of her.

"There's no doubt this is a distorted way of living."

"Wakaba Mu——"

Turning around to face the girl, Naruse Ritsu spoke word by word:

"I'm going to fix you."

The night wind blew up the girl's light golden hair, and the hem of her dress rustled.

Standing on the top floor of this deserted building, Ruo Yemu's fingertips unconsciously stroked the fabric of her body. The neon lights of the distant city flowed like stardust, but she only heard the tinnitus-like silence.

Staring blankly at Narose Ritsu standing in front of her, Wakaba Mu nodded silently after a long time.

When he reached the edge of the building, he turned to look at the girl who was a few meters behind him. "Rukaba, what do you think the view from a high place reminds people of?"

Looking back on his memories, Ruo Yemu suddenly realized that he had never had a similar experience...

No, you can’t say no.

When she was a child, she went to the TV station with her parents to participate in a program and saw the scenery outside the window.

Under the azure sky, in the distance are buildings and traffic as small as toy models, as well as pedestrians as small as ants.

But she no longer remembered what she was thinking at the time.

After walking a few steps forward, Wakaba Mu stood next to Mingze Ritsu, overlooking this extremely unfamiliar scenery.

From the bright lights flashing in the distance to the dark and dim streets nearby, as the touch of the magnificent scenery gradually faded, an equally unfamiliar impulse suddenly appeared in her heart.

Ruo Ye Mu recalled the joking conversations she had heard among her classmates during school trips.

At that time, they were standing by the railing of an ancient building. The eldest lady, who was usually quite graceful, could not help but be lively by nature and chatted there.

While they were chatting, someone suddenly said:

"What will happen if I jump from here?"

Of course, this is just a joke to open up the topic, and no one will take it seriously.

But why did people at that time have exactly the same thoughts as she does now?

Wakaba Mutsu looked at Naruse Ritsu in confusion, but did not express his confusion.

——"Has Wakaba ever thought about the meaning of his existence?"

Hearing this, Ruo Yemu shook his head.

Seeing this, Ritsu Naruse simply continued to sit on the edge of the roof, letting his feet dangle in the air. "I've always believed that only when unstoppable pressure becomes apparent and gradually squeezes us, will people desperately reflect on their own meaning."

"For humans, death is the most direct pressure they must face." Looking at the darkness below, he said calmly, "Life without death is probably like a stone—no one would ponder the meaning of existence."

"Back to the point. I promised Mortis that I would not lie to Wakaba Mu. This promise is also valid in front of you."

"so--"

"If you believe me, just jump from here."

61. Overlooking the scenery

Jump?

Standing on the edge of the roof, Ruo Yemu could only see the bottomless darkness below, as if a giant beast with its bloody mouth wide open was waiting for him to fall into its belly.

Although it was unclear which floor they were on, jumping from this height would definitely kill them.

——Only when you are close to death can you understand the meaning of your existence?

Ruo Ye Mu looked up at the city in the distance, stunned and speechless.

In his mind, the shocked Mortis was already yelling and wishing he could log in and play for the other player.

However, Ruoye Mu ignored the second thought that was noisy in his mind.

She suddenly remembered the diary she bought when she was in elementary school.

The last page of that diary was different from the ordinary diaries. There was no cute decoration on it, just a message saying "Please turn back to the first page".

If you see this sentence after filling up your diary, you will probably feel inexplicably moved, right?

However, when Ruoye Mu was promoted to high school and sorted out the diary he had left behind, he found that all the front pages were blank.

She never wrote anything down in the first place.

It was like she never had anything of her own.

The admirable appearance is inherited from parents; the enviable family background is also due to the efforts of parents.

The only thing I can think of that belongs to me is the guitar that I have been practicing for ten years but still remains mediocre...

In a trance, Wakaba Mu seemed to see Mortis, who had turned into a doll again, glaring at him angrily.

——"This is annoying! Why does Xiao Mu have to listen to that guy's nonsense?"

Because what Riku said was right...

——"You'll definitely die if you jump! That guy is treating Xiao Mu like an idiot!"

But, Ritsu wouldn't do that...

——"Xiao Mu, do you really believe that big liar?"

He said he would never lie to me...

——"I'm so annoyed, so annoyed, so annoyed! If you want to jump, why don't you let that nonsense guy jump first!"

"If you're having trouble, let me demonstrate first."

"……Eh?"

If Mortis also appeared in reality, her expression at this moment would definitely be exactly the same as Wakaba Mu's.

Seeing Mingse Ritsu, who was sitting on the edge of the roof, suddenly stand up, Wakaba Mu suddenly felt a panic.

Without even a chance to stop him, she watched as Naruse Ritsu opened his arms towards her, letting his body fall backwards as if returning to the sky...

Then disappear.

When Ruo Ye Mu realized that what was happening before her eyes was not her imagination, she was stunned.

Now on the rooftop, only the sound of the wind accompanied her.

Looking down at the scenery below, Ruoye Mu could not find any sign of the existence of "Miryuu Narose" in his dizzying vision.

She moved her toes forward half an inch and seemed to hear gravel falling into the void.

Wakaba Mutsu thought of his past regrets: the mistakes and awkward silences he made on a TV show with his parents, the words that hurt everyone on the day CRYCHIC disbanded, watching Shoko cry in the rain but being unable to do anything, and his indecision today that had caused Naruse Ritsu...

Bitter memories of the past flashed through my mind; sighs, scolding, and crying overlapped with the sound of the wind at this moment, turning into chains tightening around my throat.

At this moment, the wind suddenly stopped.
