Comet Dragon, breaking into the gravity field

Despite her growing dissatisfaction, she still walked at a leisurely pace to the side and sat down at a distance.

Nagasaki Suyo's smile remained the same, as if the previous unhappiness was just an illusion. However, the two girls knew it well; this fake smile was just a habit.

To be honest, Shiina Riki was really unhappy with the fact that they were acting on purpose to this extent.

"Li Xi actually agreed to such a thing." With her hands crossed on her legs, Nagasaki Suyo's tone still did not sound unusual.

Hearing her suggestive words, Shiina Riki chose not to pay attention but asked directly: "Are you planning to quit the band?"

"right."

"why?"

"Eh~ If you want to know why..." Nagasaki Suyo tapped her chin with a finger, looking thoughtful. After a few seconds, she smiled and said, "Because it's not important."

"what?"

She had never expected to hear such an answer from Nagasaki Suyo. Shiina Riki frowned instantly. She couldn't understand why the other party would have such a strange idea.

"You can see it clearly, right? I never considered Aine and Rakuna joining from the beginning... I just wanted to use Aine to reorganize [CRYCHIC]. Things actually developed like this. It's strange no matter how you look at it." Nagasaki Motoyo said this with a nonchalant attitude, flicking her fingertips slightly.

Shiina Riki couldn't deny this statement.

As an observer, she did feel that Nagasaki Suyo's attitude towards the two was a bit strange. However, she just thought that Nagasaki Suyo was dissatisfied with their training attitude, which was why she seemed to lack trust in them.

But when she heard the last sentence, she couldn't understand his thoughts even more - a year had passed, and Nagasaki Suyo was still thinking about that band? And she actually wanted to use the current band to reorganize the plan?

"Besides, Ritsu and Aine also know about this." As Nagasaki Suyo dropped the second bomb, she added nonchalantly, "Since everyone in the band has become so close, it would be better if I took the initiative to withdraw, right?"

Hearing these words that seemed to be for the sake of others, anger and hatred suddenly surged from the bottom of his heart, and Shiina Riki even had the idea of ​​using physical means to reason with him.

She also wanted to grab Naruse Ritsu's collar and demand to know how much more he was hiding from her. He'd let her lead the charge, and then he wouldn't give her any detailed information—these two guys were exactly the same when it came to irritating people!

Trying hard to suppress his anger, Shiina Riki said coldly: "[CRYCHIC] disbanded a long time ago, and no one except you wants to reunite."

The words were enough to penetrate her defense and pierce her wound, and Nagasaki Suyo's expression finally became cold.

"Didn't Li Xi join this band because of the lights? Only the lead singer is required, and the other positions are replaceable, right?"

When the heart-piercing words were heard, Shiina Riki was shocked to find that he was completely unable to refute them.

Yes, if Takamatsu Teru had not joined the band from the beginning, she would not have been able to wait for her to grow up into a normal person with such a poor guitarist.

Shiina Riki can admit that her prejudice against others has been reversed, but she cannot deny that her original purpose of joining the band was not simple either.

In an instant, her position seemed ridiculous.

The mountains in her chest heaved violently with the anger in her heart. Seeing Nagasaki Sushi's indifferent expression, the anger that she had no power to use made her even more angry.

Although she had said before that she was there to argue, she never intended to make things so unpleasant.

At the beginning of her meeting with Nagasaki Suyo, she decided to approach the conversation with her with caution and restraint. However, as the conversation deepened, the originally watertight plan completely turned into a flood.

If Shiina Riki had more life experience, she would have discovered the loopholes in Nagasaki Suyo's words at this moment, and would have seen through her attempt to drag herself into the water.

She was not good at speaking and her pulse was hit. In the end, she could only watch Nagasaki Suyo leave calmly.

Not interested in continuing the conversation, Nagasaki Suyo stood up and looked around, but she couldn't find the familiar figure.

Turning her head, she asked calmly, "Where's Lu?"

Hearing this, the still furious Shiina Riki couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth, revealing a mocking expression: "Didn't he tell you?"

Sensing the questioning of their relationship, Nagasaki Suyo's anger rose again. Suppressing her displeasure at the provocation, she said with a forced smile, "Even the closest people need to give each other some personal space sometimes."

Hearing this, and recalling what Naruse Ritsu had said earlier, Shiina Riki felt a surge of jealousy she had never experienced before. She felt resentful of the fact that someone else, simply because they were in a "weak position," could receive more attention and preferential treatment.

At the same time, another indescribable feeling emerged in her heart.

Not wanting to reveal any relevant information, Shiina Riki's anger turned into a cold flame, burning silently here.

Seeing her as silent and cracked as a statue, Nagasaki Suyo didn't want to waste any more words. Too lazy to greet her, she pulled out her phone, sent a message, and left this empty space alone.

Shortly after she left, Shiina Riki, who was still sitting on the highest steps of the square, discovered that Naruse Ritsu had appeared behind him in a wheelchair at some point.

Just as she was about to sneer, she saw the man secure the wheelchair and then toss her usual milk jelly drink into her hands. Seeing the brown packaging that symbolized chocolate flavor, Shiina Riki fell into an eerie silence.

Without rushing to remove the habit, she looked up expressionlessly and asked, "How did you know?"

"Ask your friend, of course."

This information was naturally learned through Hachiman Kailing - the other party didn't seem to mind telling him such small details in life.

Seeing the sunglasses on the other person's face, Shiina Riki suddenly asked for some unknown reason: "Are you happy dating that guy?"

Hearing this, Ritsu Narose was forced to freeze while drinking the box of coconut water in his hand.

Putting down his drink, he thought for a moment before replying, "From an objective perspective, the Sushi world does bring some trouble; but from my subjective perspective, I feel quite happy."

The look in his eyes behind his sunglasses was hard to discern. He paused, then added, "And flaws are the fastest path to empathy."

"Yeah……"

After removing the straw, when the familiar chocolate flavor filled her mouth, Shiina Riki felt that her favorite flavor now tasted a bit bitter.

She lowered her head, looking at the ingredients list and production date, and then fell silent again. After a while, she asked, "If that guy quits the band, will you quit too?"

Now, Mingse Ritsu no longer emphasized the question of his identity. Therefore, he did not think too much and immediately gave a reply.

"Of course not. After all, everyone is here."

“Because Aine is still here?”

"..."

The drink flowed silently through the straw. When the rectangle in his hand made a dry sound, Naruse Ritsu slowly said, "This is just one of the reasons."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Shiina Riki put his drink aside and stood up silently. After adjusting the wheelchair and the stairs, their eye levels were exactly the same.

At first, Shiina Riki only looked at him through her sunglasses. But when he felt the wind picking up around him, she suddenly reached out and took off his sunglasses.

The girl's long black hair was slightly blown by the wind, and her purple eyes, facing away from the sun, exuded a gaze completely different from usual.

Looking at the sunglasses in his hand, and then at the pair of pupils in front of him that had turned orange-red at some point, Shiina Riki was silent for a moment, then exclaimed: "It's amazing, is this the look of a scumbag..."

She smiled, but Ritsu Narose couldn't sense any smile in her.

While she was observing herself, he was also observing the other person.

On her delicate pink earlobes, hidden by her hair, a pair of clover-colored earrings had appeared, complementing her gorgeous purple eyes. Meanwhile, the light lip gloss she hadn't worn while working at the cafe now shimmered on her cherry-colored lips.

Ritsu Naruse didn't know that Lu 8 Jiuwu Bar's bell master Leng Yan Shiina Riki was recalling everything he had seen in the recording studio before.

Perhaps the three of them thought they had concealed it well, but she, who was always keeping a close eye on the members' conditions, soon discovered something strange about Chihaya Aine and Nagasaki Suyo.

She saw their seemingly accidental glances at someone, and also saw their fingers longing for contact but unable to get it, and could only rub the corners of their clothes to suppress themselves.

The experience of working in a coffee shop could not allow her to accumulate a wider range of experience, but it was enough for her to see what kind of person a person controlled by love would look like.

When she realized the absurd guess in her mind, she first felt unbelievable, and then she became worried about the change in the band's atmosphere.

But when she saw that the band was not affected by this, an even more ridiculous idea spread like moss in the dark corner of her heart, and she ultimately did not have the courage to expose it to the sunlight.

Suddenly, she felt a warm feeling.

When she came to her senses, she realized that the distance between her and him had reached a rather ambiguous dividing line.

If they move forward, their relationship will undergo earth-shaking changes; if they take a step back, they are still pretending that nothing can happen.

At the fork in the road of decision, Shiina Riki saw that Naruse Ritsu's hands were always on the armrests of the wheelchair, just as his eyes had no obvious fluctuations.

——Isn’t she attractive at all?

The resulting anger and the inferiority complex caused by self-doubt made her feel painful, and reminded her of what Nagasaki Suyo had said to her ten minutes ago.

The intersection of the two made her eyes look a little dim.

The wind suddenly grew louder, covering up a subtle sound. When Shiina Riki realized her posture had changed, she was already wrapped in a warm embrace.

She felt the touch of another pair of hands on her lower back, and she unconsciously stretched out her wrists, wrapped them around his back and hugged him tightly.

Things that she had witnessed and could not understand before were now done naturally by her.

The overlapping of bodies, even the warmth of our breaths, blended into one. If I had to use one word to describe this feeling that constantly struck and resonated within me, "happiness" would be the most appropriate.

Why feel happy?

Shiina Riki couldn't say anything at the moment.

Just burying your head on the other person's shoulder, this feeling appeared as ordinary as a natural phenomenon.

The conversation from more than ten minutes ago replayed in her mind. Shame prevented her from raising her head, yet she couldn't help but continue hugging him. And when she felt Naruse Ritsu gently caressing the top of her head, she couldn't raise her head even more, fearing that he would see the embarrassing look on her face.

However, the other party said nothing, but just stroked her soft hair quietly like petting a dog.

Raising her face slightly, Shiina Riki's blushing face was exposed to the air, and her watery eyes fell on Naruse Ritsu's face.

"I shouldn't do this, right?" She knew she was saying one thing and thinking another, but she still whispered these unyielding words.

"Yes, this approach is not correct. But if you choose to give up, you will also feel pain, right?"

Feeling sorry for the other two people, Ritsu Narose was not tempted by the current charming atmosphere, but instead became calm.

If there is one, there will be another - he should have expected this.

Whether it was the inner possessiveness or an emotion more properly called love that was at work, Ritsu Narose himself could not tell.

At this time, he has an extremely flexible set of adaptive standards.

If he had practiced the so-called "morality" from the beginning, he would have made a choice between Chihaya Aine and Nagasaki Suyo. After he chose one of them, one can imagine how the other felt.

Combining the two, when he kept morality away from love born out of desire and chose to be guided by "desire", the fog that once obscured his eyes could no longer trap him.

Desire makes him decide whether to do it, and morality makes him think about how to do it.

After speaking his heartfelt words, Naruse Ritsu felt that Shiina Ritsuki's eyes became extremely strange.

"You actually said that so seriously..." Not knowing what to say, she sighed and said, "But I have no right to say that to you..."

He released his hold on the other person's wrist and raised his still hot face again. The girl who was close to him suddenly closed her eyes, as if she was expecting something.

As a strange feeling came from her lips and ended, she heard a lingering whisper from her ear.

——“Chocolate flavor…”

She suddenly opened her eyes, her face flushed with embarrassment, picked up the milk jelly drink beside her, and fled without looking back.

4. Fishing in Troubled Waters (Two-in-One)

Facing the piercing gaze in front of him, Gao Songdeng couldn't help but shrink his body.

I don't know her, why did she suddenly come to talk to me?

Gao Songdeng felt that this beautiful girl was much more terrifying than she looked, but under Gu Long's pressure, she couldn't bring herself to turn around and run away.

So she could only freeze there and wait for the other person to speak.

Seeing her nervousness, Tianhuilong withdrew his right hand in greeting, then tapped his cheek thoughtfully and looked up and down at the girl in front of him who was holding the same book.

"Don't worry, I'm just saying hello." As if reading her thoughts, Gu Long chuckled and said, "You are his friend, I won't do anything excessive."

Despite this, Takamatsu Deng still harbored doubts about her. However, the rhythm of the conversation was completely controlled by the other party, and she was not the type to decisively withdraw.

Her original plan was forced to stop, and she had to follow the other party's footsteps and head to an unknown destination.

What Gao Songdeng didn't expect was that the other party seemed to care very much about the book in her hand, and kept asking her about her views on the book and the development of the plot.

She felt a little relieved when she heard that she could handle the topic calmly.

Unable to tell whether the other party was just looking for a suitable topic or was really interested in the book, Gao Songdeng could only honestly express his thoughts.

When she carefully spoke, she found that the other party didn't seem to care about her opinion on "Tianhuilong".

As she walked, Gao Songdeng suddenly found that the girl in front of her suddenly stopped.

"Wow~ They are really brave~"

Tian Huilong, like a qualified actor, displayed a perfectly timed expression, her face showing surprise. Worried that the girl beside her didn't hear her words clearly, she pointed forward.

Tianhuilong's eyesight was not excellent, and was far inferior to Tianhuilong's. However, the current distance was more than enough for her to see the movements of the two people over there.

While vividly depicting their embrace and kiss, she angrily denounced this indecent intimate behavior in public as if she was standing up for someone.

Looking in the direction the other party pointed, Gao Songdeng took in the scene not far away.

Her eyes widened unconsciously, and she was stunned for a long time before she could get away from this scene that was extremely shocking to the innocent girl.
