Comet Dragon, breaking into the gravity field

The only area left for protein is a small space for eggs and chicken.

Turning around to look at Nagasaki Suyo who was busy in the kitchen, Naruse Ritsu murmured, "The human body is so amazing..."

Logically speaking, such a curvy figure should be the result of the regulation of starch, protein, fat, nutrients and numerous vitamins.

But why can vegetables alone achieve such a great result?

Although this sentence sounded ridiculous coming from a Gu Long like him, he still wanted to say - isn't this unscientific?

After much thought, it seems that only the most mysterious genes hidden deep within the human body can explain all this.

"What is Ritsu thinking?"

"I'm thinking about Sushi's body."

"...according to 20 (three) yang 0 zero from this shrimp?"

The words in her heart came out of her mouth, and Ritsu Narose realized what she had just said.

As if everything that just happened was just an illusion, he calmly and quickly changed the subject: "I'm thinking about the band's future plans."

"That's it..."

Nagasaki Suyo looked as if she didn't hear what he had just said, but Naruse Ritsu could see clearly that a blush had appeared on Suyo's jade-white cheeks.

There are some things that we both know, but it would be unpleasant to say them out loud.

They tacitly continued chatting about the "future of the band", and the awkward atmosphere caused by Ritsu Narose's slip of the tongue gradually faded away.

After seasoning the ingredients in the pot, Mingse Ritsu quietly stared at the flames below, counting silently in his heart while chatting with Su Shi.

"Why is Sushi obsessed with that keyboard player?"

"Because——with Xiaoxiang's [CRYCHIC], only [CRYCHIC] is complete..."

When talking about the figure who had been avoiding her after school, Nagasaki Suyo inevitably felt anxious.

She thought that everything would be fine after she got the news about Xiaoxiang from Aiyin, but she never expected that Xiaoxiang would distance himself from her to that extent.

It was as if fate, after seeing how well she and Ritsu Naruse were getting along, deliberately dealt her a blow, causing her to repeatedly run into obstacles with Shoko Toyokawa.

"Does Sushi really want to reorganize [CRYCHIC]?"

"Of course! If there wasn't [CRYCHIC]..."

After turning off the gas stove, amidst the rising aroma and heat, Ritsu Narose slowly poured the freshly cooked vegetable minestrone soup into a bowl.

After hearing Su Shi's true words, Ritsu Narose's previously unverified guess was finally proven.

It’s a pity that the result he got was the one he least wanted to see.

54. Deception and Truth

The reason why Nagasaki Suyo agreed to let Chihaya Aine form a band was to reunite with the band she used to be in. Once her goal is achieved, the position of the guitarist Chihaya Aine in the group will be very awkward.

“If that’s the case, Aine would be really pitiful.”

After calmly stating this fact, Naruse Ritsu sighed. He then continued, "For Suyo, CRYCHIC is a very important existence."

"But if you use the wrong means to achieve this goal, the end result will only be wrong."

Looking at the girl standing in the kitchen for a long time without moving, the decision he made that night came to his mind.

"How about exchanging secrets?"

Compared to the cold and heartless "transaction", Ritsu Narose feels that "exchange" is more suitable for their communication.

"Su Shi explained to me about CRYCHIC, and I told him a very important secret of mine."

I don’t know whether it was “【CRYCHIC】” that attracted her attention, or “Naruse Ritsu’s secret” that was more attractive, but in any case, Nagasaki Suyo finally responded.

When Nagasaki Motoyo discovered that the reality that "she used Chihaya Aine to achieve her goals" was discovered by Naruse Ritsu, she fell into bottomless fear.

Everyone wants to show their best side to the people they care about. If that person is of the opposite sex and you happen to have a crush on them, then this feeling will be even more obvious.

In other words, no one wants to reveal their unsightly side at this time. After all, many people can't even face their true selves, so how can they reveal the shadows in their hearts to others?

For Nagasaki Suyo, when the method she used on Chihaya Aine was discovered by Naruse Ritsu, she was pushed into deeper darkness.

Even though she was prepared at that time and believed that Naruse Ritsu would stand on her side, when the moment really came, the hints she had given herself were instantly destroyed by fear.

Nagasaki Suyo couldn't imagine what kind of expression he would make towards her.

So, after she heard what Ritsu Narose said, a feeling of joy surged in her heart, like a drowning person grabbing a life-saving straw.

Does this mean that Ritsu Naruse is still on her side?

Fiddling with her fingertips, Nagasaki Suyo began to think about how to explain the matter about [CRYCHIC].

Noticing her little gesture, Narushe Ritsu didn't react. He just waited silently for her to speak, just like waiting for two bowls of exquisite food on the table to gradually cool down.

Finally, Nagasaki Suyo spoke.

She quietly recounted what happened that spring.

In her vivid description, Naruse Ritsu seemed to see how a lonely girl joined the band under the guidance of "Toyokawa Shoko Wu 1VII Ba Ba 07 Liu Yi", established connections with people who should have no intersection, and finally built a place together that made her feel at ease.

She hadn't experienced a life like this since that day when she said goodbye to Ritsu Naruse. However, this dreamlike daily life eventually came to an end, just like it had happened to her and Ritsu Naruse a few years ago.

On a rainy day after they successfully held a live performance, Shoko Toyokawa, who built this "community of shared destiny", came to the recording studio in the rain and decided to quit the band.

Then, everything collapsed.

First it was Toyokawa Shoko, then Takamatsu Tomo, then Shiina Tatsuki and Wakaba Mutsu. Finally, she was left alone in the empty recording studio, just as she often lived alone in the empty apartment.

While Nagasaki Suyo was telling this story, they had already come out of the kitchen and were sitting next to each other on the sofa in the living room.

From the perspective of an observer, Nagasaki Suyo at this moment undoubtedly displayed the fragile beauty of a girl to the fullest, making it difficult for people to resist the urge to hug and protect her.

But when he thought of the fact he was about to reveal to Nagasaki Suyo, this impulse quickly cooled down.

Sitting next to Nagasaki Suyo, Naruse Ritsu silently listened to this incomplete story. When the story ended, he understood why Nagasaki Suyo was so obsessed with [CRYCHIC], and why she insisted on staying in the band as a keyboardist.

Seeing that Ritsu Naruse didn't make any comments, Nagasaki Suyo suddenly felt a little uneasy.

Although she believed that this was her true feelings, she couldn't help but worry whether Ritsu Narose thought it was a deliberate pretense.

Doubt from those close to you is often more hurtful.

However, if Ritsu Narose really doubted herself, Nagasaki Suyo would have nothing to say - after all, everyone has heard the story of "The Boy Who Cried Wolf".

"Feel sorry……"

Words she had never imagined suddenly rang in Nagasaki Suyo's ears. She looked up at Naruse Ritsu in disbelief, and she actually saw something akin to regret in his expression.

"If I hadn't chosen to leave at that time, Su Shi might not have been so lonely."

The words he had read in Ritsu Narose's study suddenly surfaced in his mind. At the same time, two opposing emotions spread within him.

On the one hand, he was touched and delighted to know that Ritsu Narose was willing to stay for a whole month waiting for him, and on the other hand, he felt regret for not taking the initiative to look for her at that time.

And when Nagasaki Suyo saw the guilt expressed by Ritsu Naruse that was very similar to her own, a certain unspeakable despicable emotion derived from it echoed in her ears like a ghost, urging her to tighten the chain of guilt so that the man in front of her could never leave her again.

Without noticing Nagasaki Suyo's confused mental activities, Narose Ritsu stood up and walked towards the balcony outside the glass window.

"Now that Su Shi has finished speaking, it's my turn now."

There is no doubt that the truth he is about to tell will bring a greater shock to Nagasaki Suyo.

But just like what Ritsu Naruse just said - if there is a problem with the original foundation, no matter how tall the building is, it will suddenly collapse one day.

Relationships built with deception are ultimately deceiving oneself. Ritsu Naruse couldn't face the sincerity of others with deception and pretense, especially with feelings like those of Nagasaki Soyo... and Chihaya Aine.

Telling Nagasaki Suyo the truth about himself was his choice after careful consideration.

As for the consequences of telling the truth...

Whether it was being looked at as a monster by Su Shi or being terrified by her - whether good or bad, this was what he deserved.

After he intervened in her life, he should take the initiative to shoulder the responsibilities that belonged to him.

"I can't escape at this time." Muttering to himself, Ritsu Narose walked into the balcony shrouded in the night under the puzzled gaze of Nagasaki Suyo.

Following Ritsu Narose to the balcony with a feeling in her heart, Nagasaki Suyo saw a scene that she would never forget.

No vision occurred. When she crossed the dividing line between reality and fantasy, an existence beyond reality naturally appeared before her.

The sky tonight was exceptionally clear, without a single cloud. Under the bright, full moon, the girl saw a pair of silver wings, seemingly coated in a layer of light, appear behind the boy.

The light from inside the room could not reach the outside of the balcony. The pale blue pupils with a strong inhuman feeling shone like gems in the lightless night, attracting her attention.

"This is my secret."

Under the moonlight, Nagasaki Suyo saw the truth.

55. Nagasaki Suyo is weird

"Was that... a dream?"

When Nagasaki Suyo woke up the next morning, she stared at the white bedding on her body.

Was what happened last night a fantasy she imagined in her dream, or did it really exist?

I got up from the bed and looked at the time. It was only around seven in the morning.

Without even having time to change her pajamas, Nagasaki Suyo hurried to the living room.

The sofa, coffee table, dining table... and the kitchen with obvious signs of use, all of these silently tell us that the memories in Nagasaki Suye's mind are not false, but things that really happened.

Suddenly, Nagasaki Suyo found a note stuck on the refrigerator.

Obviously this was left behind by Ritsu Narose before he left last night, and it looked like a page torn from his notebook.

When she took it off and took a closer look, she found that it only stated the time he left last night, and reminded her that yesterday's vegetable minestrone soup had been put in the refrigerator and could be heated up and eaten directly.

The blank space below the note was a backup message for her mother. It contained nothing more than an apology for disturbing Nagasaki's family and using the kitchen without permission, as well as his own contact information.

But my mother didn't come back.

She used to feel lost about this, but now she actually felt a faint sense of relief in her heart.

There was no way, Nagasaki Suyo had not yet figured out how to explain to her mother about Ritsu Narose.

More importantly, she herself doesn't understand it now.

She opened the refrigerator and took out the vegetable pasta that Naruse Ritsu made for her last night. A strong sense of happiness filled Nagasaki Suyo's heart again, making her forget all her worries temporarily.

When she changed into her school uniform, she suddenly remembered what Ritsu Narose said last night.

The girl's shyness made her soft and white body turn slightly pink, but the other party's care made her feel proud of it.

But when she thought of the truth he had revealed to her last night, the sweet joy was swept away by a hurricane of chaos.

Today is still a school day, and Nagasaki Suyo cannot continue to be immersed in this emotion.

From the moment she greeted her classmates upon entering the school, to the moment the bell rang announcing the end of school, anyone who had interacted with her could tell that Nagasaki, who usually exuded the aura of an older sister, gentle and reliable, was particularly uneasy today.

Ruoye Mu is naturally no exception.

After school, when she came to the garden managed by the Horticulture Department and watered the cucumbers she had planted herself, she was also surprised by the overly obvious changes that had taken place in Nagasaki Suyo.

But unlike others, she is taciturn and will not say it out loud even if she knows this.

So the final result was still the same as usual. She just listened silently to Nagasaki Suyo's unrealistic dream about [CRYCHIC].

However, what she did not expect was that Nagasaki Suyo did not continue to ask about Toyokawa Shoko today.

And from Nagasaki Suyo's murmurs, Wakaba Mu heard another unfamiliar name.

However, Nagasaki Suyo had no idea what Wakaba Mu was thinking, and she had never truly understood.

When she left the Moon Forest and nervously came to the coffee shop, she saw the familiar figure still sitting there, and her heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down.

Memories of last night kept surging in her mind. After a day of thinking, Nagasaki Suyo had no idea what to say.

She wanted to ask about what happened last night, but she found Ritsu Narose happily enjoying dessert, with several empty glasses on the table.

"Good afternoon."

Seeing Su Shi sitting down next to her, Ming Se Ritsu took the initiative to greet her, without any trace of nervousness on her face.

For Ritsu Narose, telling his true identity to Nagasaki Motoyo did not make him regret it. Instead, the fact that he did not have to lie to his close ones made him feel more relaxed, and he felt a sense of relief as if the clouds had been cleared and the sun had been shining.

Everything has one and there are two.
