Comet Dragon, breaking into the gravity field

Lu, Lixi... When did they...

Seeing the dazed look on the girl's face, Tian Huilong, who cared about humanity, couldn't help but sigh, "They have such a good relationship."

While she was speaking, she was secretly observing the expression of the girl next to her, and the facts were very different from what she expected.

Before setting out, she had never imagined this would be the outcome. But when she tasted the sweetness in the air, she knew this was an opportunity that had come to her doorstep.

Gently opening her cherry lips, the tip of her pink tongue touched the air. The distant heat sent a slight shiver through her body, and the scale powder that spread through the air, acting as a medium for transmission, brought her a unique experience that transcended all five senses.

She was quite pleased with the aura emanating from Ritsu Narushe. With an eye on the bigger picture, she didn't care about the current minor disturbances; her first step was to muddy the waters.

Threatening characters will automatically surface, while those who are no different from sand and dirt will sink to the bottom of the water - as a spectator, she has enough time to observe them and then classify them according to their degree of danger.

"Oh yeah? It's over so soon?"

Seeing one of them leave the scene, Tian Huilong smacked his lips with a sense of satisfaction, then smiled at Gao Songdeng.

She took the initiative to move closer, and during this brief period of time she did not communicate with Takamatsu Deng until she confirmed that Naruse Ritsu had discovered them, then she smiled and saluted.

"What an unexpected encounter~"

The platinum-haired girl's smiling words sounded like she was just being coquettish, but Ritsu Narose sensed a deeper meaning in them.

He nodded politely and turned his attention to Takamatsu Touma, who remained silent. He was about to ask her why she was there, but when he saw the book she was holding, Naruse Ritsu understood why the two of them were together.

Naruse Ritsu maintained the necessary vigilance and precautions against this ancient dragon with ulterior motives. Tenkai Ryuu had no problem with his distance, simply expressing his displeasure in a coquettish manner before saying goodbye and leaving Takamatsu Deng behind with him.

As the faint but undeniable fragrance gradually faded, Naruse Ritsu finally turned his full attention to Takamatsu Touma. Remembering her brave act during the live performance, he offered her this belated compliment without reservation.

However, Gao Songdeng just looked at him silently, his eyes constantly moving between the wheelchair under him and his face.

Understanding her concerns, Naruse Ritsu could only repeat the words he had explained several times. But when he finished, he found that the strange look in Takamatsu's eyes had not disappeared.

She seemed to want to say something, but remained silent.

Sensitive people always like to think about things alone. As the chaotic thoughts in their hearts roll out uncontrollably like an avalanche, it is normal to bury their original thoughts.

Ritsu Narose thought that Takamatsu Teru had become braver after the live performance, but now she is showing the same weak and inferior look as when they first met.

Was it the incident between Su Shi and Xiangzi that hit her hard?

At this moment, Ritsu Narose didn't know what to say.

All the sweet words he could use were useless against such a clever little animal, and he was unwilling to deceive the other party with lies.

When he recalled the details of his recent meeting with Gao Songdeng, a horrifying guess suddenly emerged in his mind.

If that's the case, then Takamatsu Deng's strange behavior is understandable.

What else could he say? He had no right to blame the ancient dragon for bringing the lamp here, nor did he have the right to cover it up with lies.

She couldn't confess her love to someone and then immediately show her affection to another person - even if their relationship was close enough, Ritsu Narushe still couldn't pass the challenge of testing her thickness of skin.

Scratching his cheek in distress, he could only sigh and tell Deng about his experience without any embellishment.

Meeting her gaze, the guilt felt like ants gnawing at his heart.

When he looked back on those moments, his ever-changing morality became righteous, constantly torturing his actions. From the perspective of an outsider, what he did was undeniably scumbag.

After saying this, Naruse Ritsu, exhausted both physically and mentally, lay down in his wheelchair. When he closed his eyes, he suddenly felt a warm touch coming from above his head.

When he suddenly opened his eyes, he saw Gao Songdeng standing in front of him, gently stroking his head.

The two stared at each other, and the more shy girl blushed first, stammering and unable to utter a complete sentence. Meanwhile, Naruse Ritsu stared at the distant sky, putting the idea of ​​studying the "Artificial Code of Ethics" on the agenda.

Some words are destined to be inappropriate to say now. After walking for a while with Gao Songdeng, he took the initiative to say goodbye to her - to let her and himself calm down for a while.

The traffic light across the street turned red, and Ritsu Narose silently fiddled with the sunglasses in his hand.

It is said that eyes are the windows to the soul, so sunglasses are the last barrier to prevent others from prying into your heart.

It was because he noticed the changes taking place in his heart and felt uneasy about it that he chose to hide it behind his sunglasses.

However, his cover-up was eventually exposed.

When he thought about the change in his relationship with Shiina Riki, the efforts he made to ask the other party to do so today seemed quite ridiculous.

If Nagasaki Suyo knew that this outrageous and ridiculous thing happened after her quarrel with Shiina Riki...

"Ha ha……"

After two dry laughs, Ritsu Narose found himself pushed to the edge of the cliff - if he exerted a little more force, he and his wheelchair would fly out.

——"Do you need help?"

A familiar voice suddenly sounded from behind him. He turned his head stiffly and looked back, only to see Hachiman Kailing in casual clothes standing behind him.

"If you don't leave now, the green light will pass."

Although she found the expression on Ritsu Narose's face, which looked like she had seen a ghost, very amusing, Hachiman Kailing still pointed to the traffic light across the street.

Only after silently maneuvering the wheelchair to the opposite sidewalk did Ritsu Narose get rid of the confusion in his heart.

"Your leg……"

"Being safe and sound, just cultivate yourself."

After quickly answering the other person's question, Naruse Ritsu felt a faint regret for going for a stroll in his wheelchair. What had seemed like a trivial matter had ended up putting him in a difficult position.

Is this the impermanence of life...

On the other side, seeing that he could reply to her so skillfully, Hachiman Kailing quickly understood the reason.

The corners of her mouth curled up slightly. As she walked along the outside of the sidewalk, she looked at Naruse Ritsu and said, "I just saw you staring blankly at the intersection. Did something happy happen to you?"

"But it's not." Upon hearing this, Mingse Ritsu immediately smiled as if he had stayed up late to play ranked matches and suffered five consecutive defeats.

Shaking his head and sighing, feeling that he was about to be defeated at Huarong Road, he chose to actively seek help from the Great Bodhisattva Hachiman who had once given him help.

If people who are familiar with him see this scene, they will probably be surprised, right?

But if you ask Ritsu Narose himself, he thinks his action of seeking external help is normal.

He was facing things he had never experienced before, and the seemingly reliable responses he gave were all based on his own experience—that is, the experience of others.

But sometimes, general principles that have not been tested in reality are no different from castles in the air.

Therefore, he needs to look at the current situation from a completely new perspective so that he can break free from the shackles of his own vision.

Hearing Naruse Ritsu's request, Hachiman Kailing was also a little surprised - in her impression, the other party's style of doing things could be described as "steady".

Although she felt that Narose Ritsu was in a strange state before she started talking to him, she didn't expect that he would actually take the initiative to ask her for help.

With no intention of refusing, Hachiman Kailing thought about it and then went to a family restaurant that she often went to with Naruse Ritsu.

Sitting in a corner booth, a white wheelchair quietly parked aside, they casually ordered some fries and drinks, and while waiting for the waiter to bring the dishes, they started a conversation.

"How should I put it..." Frowning, Naruse Ritsu revealed an extremely distressed look, "I have a friend, she-"

Before he could finish his words, he noticed that Hachiman Kailing had a strange expression on her face.

The girl put her hand to her mouth, looking as if she was listening attentively—but Narose Ritsu always felt that she seemed to be smiling.

He glanced at her suspiciously, and when she looked at him with the same puzzled look, as if wondering why he had suddenly stopped, Naruse Ritsu had no choice but to continue, "Because she has joined a new band, the relationship between her and her original bandmates has become a little strained."

"Although her subjective intention was to maintain a good relationship with the other party, her efforts actually made their relationship worse and worse."

At first, Hachiman Kairin thought that the "friend" that Naruse Ritsu was talking about was himself; now, she thinks that the person Naruse Ritsu was talking about was Shiina Ritsuki.

She had just run into Shiina Riki on the road, and she noticed something strange on his face. He seemed unwilling to stay outside any longer, and after a few words with her, he hurried away.

"That sounds like a serious problem." Hachiman Kailing's emerald green pupils dimmed in the backlight as she spoke slowly, "But I don't have any experience in this area."

Although there was no change in her expression, Ritsu Narose could hear regret and envy in Hachiman Kairin's words.

"Because they're 'mercenaries'?"

Hearing this nickname, which she herself had heard before, Hachiman Kailing simply smiled. Holding the waiter's drink in her hand, she admitted, "Yes, because I'm a 'mercenary,' I rarely get to know about the conflicts between the support band members."

"Then from a personal perspective, what do you think is the appropriate approach?"

Faced with this novel question, Hachiman Kailing began to think. But before she could think, she took the opportunity to ask a selfish question: "'What to do'... refers to you, or what your friends should do?"

"Now, it can only be me."

At this point, Naruse Ritsu didn't think Nagasaki Suyo had any way to resolve the conflict between her and Toyokawa Shoko. Instead of trying to figure out how to solve this unrealistic problem, she should think about how to comfort this fool who had brought this upon herself.

"It seems like you have a good relationship."

Without denying this, Naruse Ritsu nodded, completely unaware that he and Hachiman Kairin were not talking about the same person.

The two people present were able to communicate across channels without realizing it, and no one found it strange.

If Ritsu Naruse were to review the situation after the fact, would he be able to conclude that "Nagasaki Soyo and Shiina Tatsuki have similarities in some things"?

5. Different selfishness

The conversation between Ritsu Naruse and Kairin Hachiman could not give him an answer to fundamentally resolve the current situation.

After finishing this topic, they talked about other things.

Unlike what she looks like, chatting with Hachiman Kairin herself is quite a pleasant experience. The relaxed atmosphere is just like the mentaiko sauce on the table for diners to dip their fries in.

When they finished their conversation and were about to leave, a customer sitting in another booth nearby seemed to finally muster up the courage and walked towards them with a nervous look on his face.

Behind her, her companions smiled mischievously but without any malice.

They looked at each other and found that the other did not know this stranger either.

Therefore, as a woman, Yawata Kailing took the initiative to ask the other party's purpose. After hearing the other party's words, she showed a more obvious change in her expression for the first time.

It was not until the girl who had mustered up the courage to express her thoughts to her idol left that Hachiman Kairin glanced sideways at the smiling Naruse Ritsu.

"She thought I was the bassist of that previous band..."

"That's why Hai Ling seems so powerful."

As a bassist who travels around as a support musician, it is truly a blessing to be able to meet an enthusiastic fan who remembers me despite the multiple debuffs.

Looking at the small group behind Hachiman Kailing, seeing that they were having another heated discussion, Naruse Ritsu withdrew his gaze.

"She's a successful star, and you've got fans – everyone has a bright future."

"That's an exaggeration."

Having said that, Hachiman Kailing still seemed to enjoy it quite a bit.

After all, who doesn't want to be recognized by others? Even though she usually displays a mature temperament, Hachiman Kailing is still a girl still in adolescence, and naturally has certain mentalities unique to this age group.

"But since that's what you've said, I'll temporarily change this treat from an 'apology' to a 'celebration'."

She saved the original reason for another time—this was some kind of selfish motive that was secretly at work.

Because his wheelchair blocked the way, Ritsu Narose was unable to dissuade the other party immediately. Sitting on the sofa, he saw Hachiman Kaisuzu walking towards the front desk, and the fans on the other side secretly glanced at him and immediately followed him.

Perhaps because her first success gave her confidence, Hachiman Kailing also saw the girl running behind her, cheering her on with a serious look on her face, and saying something incomprehensible like "true love will definitely pass the test."

When she returned to her seat with her tray, she finally understood what the other person meant.

However, Hachiman Kailing did not say it out loud. As for the reason... perhaps it can be roughly classified as her own "selfishness"?

While drinking her drink, she suddenly realized that she seemed to have become an insect that stepped on the spider web on its own initiative.

The vibration of the spider silk spread far away. No one knew whether the spider was still hiding here, nor when it would appear.

……

In the bedroom of a high-end apartment, the owner of the bedroom was lying on the bed and constantly tapping on his mobile phone.

As she stared at the chat bar on her phone, the battery level in the upper right corner of the screen had reached a dangerous red temperature, exactly like her current mood.

The howling of the wind outside the window had no effect on her.

Lying on the bed, she seemed to be separated from this space, and all the messages she sent fell on deaf ears, as if they were a message in a bottle destined to receive no response.

The message from a few minutes ago was pushed out of the screen, and the despair grew.

Nagasaki Suyo wanted to switch back to the contact interface and find someone she could rely on to tell her grievances. But when she thought of his actions today, a deeper fear swirled in her heart.

Why did Ritsu let Shiina Riki come to him? Why didn't he come to see her himself? Why did he invite her to the agreed-upon place but then not show up? Does this mean that he's unhappy with his own actions? Does it mean that he hates himself? And if someone else is more important to him than her...

As the fear and despair that overwhelmed his mind slowly receded like a tide, Nagasaki Suye realized that he had unknowingly sent those words that seemed very heavy to the other party.

The woman was afraid that the other party would regard her as a nuisance, so she was about to withdraw her message, but she saw that the series of messages had all become "read".

Holding her breath, her throat surging with anxiety, Nagasaki Suyo tightly gripped her phone, afraid that she would miss the other party's reply.
