Comet Dragon, breaking into the gravity field

But she was afraid of seeing content she didn't want to see, so she started looking through their past chat records, trying to immerse herself in that fantasy as sweet as honey.

But after a few seconds, she still didn't see the message prompt appear at the bottom of the screen.

The long wait was a torture. When she could no longer fight the exhaustion that tortured herself, Nagasaki Suyo finally couldn't help but send out the words in her heart.

She thought she was prepared, but when she saw the reply, her mind inevitably went blank.

——【Will we be together forever】

--【Won't】

At the top were Nagasaki Suyo's words that sounded like a plea for help; at the bottom were the responses that left her speechless.

With her cell phone still stuck between the quilts, Nagasaki Suyo stared blankly at the ceiling, like a fish stranded on land and forced to breathe dry air.

She wanted to reply, but she didn't know what to say.

The communication methods that Nagasaki Suyo used to be good at were completely useless at this moment. She seemed to have turned back into the lonely and helpless girl she was before.

——【Are you angry?】

Nagasaki Suyo's eyes, illuminated by her phone screen, widened slightly at this remark. Pursing her lips tightly, she typed out her reply, word by word.

--【No】

This is the truth.

How could she possibly be angry with him?

It felt like everything had come to an end, and a cold feeling settled down in her heart like snowflakes. However, before the fluttering snowflakes could cover her ankles, her phone vibrated again from under the covers.

She hesitated, but still chose to pick up the phone.

——【I never say anything I can’t guarantee】

——[So let’s change the question]

——【Do you want us to be together forever? 】

After seeing these three short lines, Nagasaki Suyo was stunned for a few seconds, and then she yawned, and the tears in her eyes could no longer be suppressed.

She sobbed softly at first, and as her chest rose and fell more violently, she had to wipe the tears sliding down her face with her hands.

She buried her flushed face in the soft pillow, muffled sobs emanating from it. Only when her tears soaked the center of the pillow did she sit up tremblingly.

Opening her tear-blurred eyes, she tried hard to identify the keyboard on the phone screen and typed out her sincere reply.

6. The Beginning of the End

"Feel sorry."

Hearing Ritsu Narose's sigh-like words, Toyokawa Shoko raised her head in surprise.

Most people in the world, when they suddenly hear someone apologize to them, often do not accept it first, but instead think about where the apology comes from.

For the faint of heart, a sudden apology is no different from a pre-execution announcement.

At this time, there were still only the two of them in the recording studio, so Shoko Toyokawa could directly ask him why he was apologizing to her.

Facing the blue-haired girl's gaze, Naruse Ritsu was silent for a moment, then spoke with difficulty: "Sushi...I have to trouble you again."

He should have thought of who else in the world could make him look like that.

With a sneer in her heart that was not directed at anyone, or at everyone, Toyokawa Shoko said indifferently: "I have blocked her."

"It's so miserable..."

Was this a lament for Nagasaki Suze's self-inflicted fate? Or a lament for Toyokawa Shoko's decisiveness? Or perhaps an expression of pessimism about the prospects of his own active involvement?

No words can express the sorrow contained in these words, and this is the price that Ritsu Narose has to pay.

Last night, he couldn't turn a blind eye to Nagasaki Suyo's difficulties, so now and in the future he must take responsibility for his choices.

His slipping moral bottom line makes him have multiple unspeakable relationships with girls at the same time, but his own morality is anchored in a very delicate position, making him trapped in his own cocoon.

The sound of cold music echoed in the space. When the song ended, neither of the two people present spoke first.

Toyokawa Shoko thought she would feel uneasy or awkward when she met him again, but when she actually saw him, she only felt the same sense of security as before.

but……

"Is that the end for today?" She looked directly at the other person, without a trace of reluctance on her face.

"Yeah," nodded, and Naruse Ritsu took over the topic and said, "Cash? Or transfer?"

“…Transfer the money.”

Compared to a string of numbers displayed on a screen, the tangible feeling of cash undoubtedly makes it easier for people to appreciate the existence of money. Technological advances have enabled modern people to shop with just a click of a screen, but this has also weakened their understanding of money.

In the past, Toyokawa Shoko had never had such a profound feeling, but now, she has become able to skillfully convert those large and small numbers into equivalents.

But when she thought of her alcoholic father at home, she knew that the money she brought back would eventually turn into a pile of empty beer cans scattered on the ground.

Seeing the gloom that accidentally revealed itself on the girl's face, Ritsu Narushe whispered, "Thank you for your hard work."

Hearing these words that sounded almost pitiful, Toyokawa Shoko's expression struggled for a moment, but in the end, it just turned into helplessness. She stood up with her handbag and left. Just as she was about to open the door, she heard a whisper from behind her.

"Did I do something wrong?"

After a slight pause, Toyokawa Shoko turned around and looked at Naruse Ritsu and said, "There's nothing wrong with being decisive, right?"

It sounds a bit ridiculous - she herself has always been hesitant about many things, but she can feel at ease to advise others to be more decisive.

"Then can I ask you to reconcile with her?"

"...Impossible." Looking at Ritsu Narose expressionlessly, Toyokawa Shoko's pink cheeks puffed up slightly, as if hinting at her dissatisfaction at the moment.

She began to regret turning around and talking to him again - if she had decisively pushed the door and left, she probably wouldn't have to feel so upset. Gently hugging her arm with her right hand, Toyokawa Shoko felt an unnecessary emotion playing tricks on her heart.

Turning her head away, Shoko Toyokawa suddenly didn't dare to look at Ritsu Narose again.

"You know my current situation. Nagasaki Suyo's behavior will only bring me trouble."

"What if I help you?"

"The one you should be helping is me, isn't it?"

"But Su Shi is on the wrong path."

Upon hearing this, Toyokawa Shoko fell silent.

Naruse Ritsu said that "Nagasaki Suyo was on the wrong path", but wasn't she also on the wrong path? If you think about it carefully, you will realize that a large part of Nagasaki Suyo's mistakes actually came from Toyokawa Shoko herself.

She wanted to refuse, but she saw Naruse Ritsu looking at her with a very serious look. Unable to resist, she took a step back and pressed her back against the cold door.

She hesitated again.

Her self-esteem sounded a warning in her ear - this act of seeking help from others would undoubtedly make her weak, but she found it difficult to refuse the existence of such a person who could understand her.

Although she had seen many surreal scenes and truths before, for Shoko Toyokawa, such overly bizarre events did not make her care.

All she knew was the boy in front of her named "Ritsu Naruse", not the red comet she saw that night.

There's no doubt that Ritsu Naruse possesses a keen eye for detail, and it's hard not to feel a liking for someone with this quality, coupled with a mature and reliable personality.

Shoko Toyokawa is not opposed to communicating with him, but she has to think about the price she will pay if she accepts his help.

"If it's not convenient to make a decision immediately, let's contact each other on Line later." Seeing her dilemma at the moment, Ritsu Narose took the initiative to break the deadlock.

He opened the door and walked out first, as if giving Shoko Toyokawa some time to think alone.

They did not travel together like before. When Shoko Toyokawa left the recording studio, she could no longer see Ritsu Narose.

Walking alone on the sunny street, her mood suddenly became heavy.

The entangled interpersonal relationships still bound her steps, but the new scene before her was daunting... She opened her mobile phone and saw that her account balance had increased a lot, and she found that she was not as happy as she had imagined.

"Oh~ It's Ms. Toyokawa?"

Hearing her own surname, Toyokawa Shoko hurriedly turned around. The person who appeared in her sight was not someone else, but the girl she had seen that night.

According to what she heard, this girl seemed to be called "Tianhuilong"?

Bathed in her gaze, a spine-tingling tension made Toyokawa Shoko stand firm and straighten her body.

The current location should be where Ritsu Narose just passed by, but the other party did not come to find him but came to find himself?

Even though the other party hadn't yet stated her purpose, her female intuition was unusually sharp at this moment. At the same time, the other party's tone seemed to hint at something, forcing her to think more.

Seeing that Toyokawa Shoko did not hide her wariness towards her, Tianhuilong found it even more interesting.

This look reminded her of the losers she had seen - especially those Chaos Black Dragons whose transformation was interrupted and who made their last futile efforts in the gap between light and darkness.

She might be a good candidate to serve as a soldier in the vanguard of the king.

7. Am I the one coming?

【RING】The cafe on the second floor has become a hotspot for girls.

During the last few days of the Golden Week, Chihaya Aine and Takamatsu Touma came here as a team, hoping to get news about Nagasaki Suyo from Shiina Tatsuki.

But when Chihaya Aine asked, Shiina Riki acted uncharacteristically uneasy, which left her confused.

Although he has become easier to talk to, he still gives people a rather strange feeling, as if he has something to hide.

I don’t understand what Shiina Ritsu is thinking, and Naruse Ritsu is not around. Bored, Chihaya Aine can only sit in her seat and continue to browse her phone.

In order to prepare for the live performance, she had completely abandoned her hobbies of watching videos and playing games. Although the band's situation is not very good now because of Su Shi, they should rest well when it is time to rest!

Opening the video website with ease, Chihaya Aine quickly found Miao Mengqin's channel in her follow list. Flipping through the list, she decided to watch all the videos she had been saving for the past ten days.

However, when she saw the title of the video, she was stunned.

[Unknown Wonderful Spots] - Is this a new series? But isn't Miao Mengqin a beauty vlogger?

Not really understanding why she suddenly opened up a new track, Chihaya Aine still clicked on the video out of curiosity.

——"Hello everyone, meow meow~"

Seeing that it still started with a series of exaggerated and cute movements, she was sure that she was not mistaken.

As Meowth explained and shifted the camera, Chihaya Aine's expression shifted from curiosity to indifference, and then gradually to suspicion. When she saw the two familiar statues in the picture, her eyes were replaced by two large question marks.

Comparing it with her memory, she was quite sure that the place where Miao Meng filmed the video was right across from her house.

Ah... my mood suddenly became subtle.

It wasn't the pity of missing out on the other person, nor the regret of not being able to appear on camera, but another rather complicated feeling - similar to the disappointment of having a secret base that one had discovered revealed to the public by others.

……

Noticing that Chihaya Aine, who was wearing headphones, seemed completely immersed in the video, Takamatsu Deng looked up at Shiina Riki standing behind the counter, as if he had something to say to her.

But when the words came to her lips, she didn't know how to say them.

Should I directly tell her what I saw happen between her and Naruse Ritsu? Or should I just keep silent and turn a blind eye to it? If I tell her, Aine will definitely be upset...

Holding the glass with both hands, Gao Songdeng lowered her head again, her bangs still covering her confused eyes.

"Light, are you okay?"

"I……"

Hearing Li Xi's concerned words, she found it difficult to speak.

Because of my actions, Xiangzi and Sushi were injured one after another. It seems that it is better for me to remain silent...

The sensitive little animal unknowingly fell into autism again, and the person standing opposite her was not a druid with the "Animal Communication" skill.

It wasn't until Chihaya Aine, who was concentrating on her phone screen next to her, suddenly slammed the table angrily that the tense atmosphere between the three of them was broken.

"Guwuwu——"

Making a sound similar to grinding teeth, the pink-haired dog stared at the phone screen with gritted teeth, and its pretty face became distorted.

Although there were no other customers in the restaurant, the waiter's work rules prompted Shiina Riki to remind the guy to be quiet - and he would have to pay compensation if he broke the table.

"What's wrong..." Takamatsu Deng asked in a low voice, and then she saw Chihaya Aine excitedly holding the phone screen in front of her.

At the same time, she asked with her lifeless, empty eyes, "Who do you think this is?"

Although the video appears to be taken at night, the surrounding lights are enough to clearly show the appearance of the passerby in the picture. Even though the person is wearing a raincoat and the rain is still dripping on his body, Gao Songdeng recognized him at first sight.

"law?"
