"At times like these, you need to have your own thoughts and not just accept everything they say. If you just do whatever they say, then you're no different than a puppet...right?"
No one had ever said this to her before. With her right hand resting lightly on her chest, Wakaba Mu stared blankly at Mingse Ritsu who was sitting in front of her.
It was unknown what was going on in her light golden eyes. After a long moment, she slowly asked, "You too?"
Hearing Wakaba Mu's question, Naruse Ritsu blinked, then showed a very happy expression: "Me too."
"What I said to Ruoye Mu must have contained my own selfish motives, so you must carefully discern the words that are suitable for you."
"At the end of the day, there's no single standard answer to these questions. All we can do is make sure our future selves don't regret it."
As if satisfied with Wakaba Mu's ability to draw inferences from one instance to another, Narose Ritsu picked up the remaining drink and drank it in one gulp.
After saying hello to the girl who was still in a daze, he stood up and went to the counter to continue shopping. However, when he passed the store door, he saw three unexpected figures appear here.
"Eh? Where's your wheelchair, Naruse-kun?" Seeing Naruse Ritsu, who had been racing in a wheelchair before, standing in the store again today as if a medical miracle had happened, Chihaya Aine completely forgot why she came and asked with a confused look on her face.
"That thing is too much of a nuisance, so let's put it aside for now." Naruse Ritsu said, looking at the other two people following Chihaya Aine, "Why are you here too?"
"I-I came here with Deng!" As if to cover up his inner guilt, Shiina Riki's voice was louder than usual.
Startled by Shiina Riki's reaction, Takamatsu Deng pursed his lips and whispered, "Um...Aine said she wanted to come see you."
"Aine?" Looking at the pink girl next to her, Naruse Ritsu was a little puzzled.
Don't we usually contact each other on Line? Why are you suddenly here like you're catching a thief?
"Wait, how did you know I was here?"
Upon hearing this, Shiina Riki and Takamatsu Deng simultaneously turned their gazes to the other person. Meanwhile, Chihaya Aine, shocked that her companion had betrayed her, revealed the person who had provided her with the information.
After all, besides humans, there are two other ancient dragons in the store.
After looking at Ming Bolong and Qilin who were wearing headphones and concentrating on fighting with others, Ming Se Ritsu was too lazy to ask them where they got the contact information.
Although she felt like she was being watched wherever she went, Ritsu Narose never cared about it.
"So what brings you here?"
As if the question touched on some private matters, the three girls present all began to stammer.
Wait... I came here to question you, so why did I lose in terms of momentum?
Chihaya Aine suddenly realized that she had the initiative and regained her spirits. While she was thinking about how to speak without sounding abrupt, she suddenly saw a girl in light green walking out from the side.
The alarm bells in her heart rang instantly, and Chihaya Aine took on the posture of searching for points in an FPS game and looked at the strange girl carefully.
Height…about the same;
Hair length...is pretty close too!
Of course, if it were just based on these two points, it would be impossible for Chihaya Aine to arbitrarily assume that this girl with delicate and lovely appearance was the one who shared an umbrella with Naruse Ritsu (in fact, she didn't).
The key evidence supporting her judgment lies in her unwavering silence.
It was exactly the same as what she saw on the show!
Detective Chihaya felt that she had uncovered the truth, and she blinked, trying to find some clues from the face of the light green girl who stared at her expressionlessly.
However, no matter how she looked, she could not see anything unusual.
What a high rank!
She was able to maintain such a calm demeanor in front of her real owner - and she looked so cute, a completely different style from herself!
Chihaya Aine had no idea that the person sitting in front of her was the guitarist of CRYCHIC, and the other two people who saw Wakaba Mutsu were surprised and didn't know what to say.
"what……"
When he shifted his gaze away from Ritsu Narose, Mutsuki Wakaba noticed the presence of Touma Takamatsu and Tachikawa Shiina.
She wanted to say something, but like her former teammates, she didn't know how to start. Lowering her eyes, she slowly moved to the side of Ritsu Narushe, who was selecting a drink, as if using his body to block their view.
This action undoubtedly made Chihaya Aine and Shiina Ryuki's eyelids twitch.
"Narase-kun—"
Calling her boyfriend with a voice that was so sweet that it was sickening, Chihaya Aine's smile was much sweeter than any other moment in the past.
Shiina Riki on the side rubbed the goose bumps on her arms. Although she wanted to condemn this disgusting behavior, when she thought of her own position, she could only shut up and try not to become the target of public criticism.
As the tone of voice that sounded like a ghost urging death sounded in his ears, a bad premonition suddenly lingered around Naruse Ritsu. But no matter how hard he thought, he couldn't figure out how he had offended Chihaya Aine.
It can’t be because there have been fewer kisses recently, right?
"Let's go sit in the rest area next to us first?" After distributing drinks to everyone, Ritsu Narose took the initiative to suggest.
Fortunately, no one deliberately contradicted him at this time. Although Chihaya Aine looked angry, she seemed surprisingly easy to appease.
Three more round stools were added to the round table that originally accommodated only two people, turning it into a scaled-down round table meeting.
As soon as she sat down, Chihaya Aine couldn't wait to find out the identity of the strange girl next to her. But when she learned that she was "Wakaba Mutsu", her rising momentum was shattered.
Ignoring the strange Chihaya Aine and Wakaba Mutsu who was drinking mango juice silently, Naruse Ritsu could only ask Shiina Ritsuki again about their purpose.
But what he didn't expect was that Shiina Riki was also acting strangely today.
Well, regarding the reason for the change in Shiina Riki's condition, Naruse Ritsu felt that it was related to herself - but who can tell me what is going on with Aine?
As if hearing the cry in his heart, Takamatsu Deng silently took out his mobile phone and searched for the slice that Chihaya Aine had shown them before.
Seeing the screen in front of him and seeing Deng nod, Ritsu Narose's expression gradually changed from confusion to calmness.
At this point, such trivial matters will not cause him any waves.
Even though he had just kissed Shiina Tatsuki the day before, there was no ambiguous relationship between them when the video was filmed.
At this time, Ritsu Naruse's moral bottom line became flexible again, so that Chihaya Aine could not get any useful information from his face.
Even though there was an outsider, Mutsumu Wakaba, present, Ritsu Narose did not shy away from expressing his thoughts during the interview.
Because what he said was true.
As the saying goes, "wine gets better with age," and for Shiina Tatsuki, the memories of these past CG scenes are becoming more and more nostalgic. Furthermore, with Naruse Ritsu still rambling about the rain, the shameless Shiina Tatsuki finally can't stand the topic anymore.
"I'm going to get some snacks!"
He suddenly stood up and left, but Shiina Riki's back gave people the illusion that he was fleeing in panic.
"I'll go check it out too. The location of the dim sum shop around here is a bit confusing."
Making up a random excuse, Ritsu Narose stood up and followed, leaving the three people present looking at each other in bewilderment.
However, Chihaya Aine had always been very active in her thinking. She quickly took over the responsibility of livening up the atmosphere and began to actively talk to Wakaba Mutsu.
Outside the store, Ritsu Naruse easily caught up with Tatsuki Shiina who was walking with his head down on the street.
"Why, why did you follow me?"
"Because Lixi looks very strange today."
"Long-winded..."
Rolling her eyes, Shiina Riki pouted and looked towards the bushes to the side. It wasn't until they reached the intersection and turned a corner that she continued, "What if Aine finds out?"
"You mean video?"
"And, and the day before yesterday..."
As if she was ashamed to talk about the irrational behavior she did in a moment of impulse the day before yesterday, a few cute blushes appeared on Shiina Riki's face.
But when she saw the half-smile on Ritsu Narose's face, her shyness turned into annoyance, and she began to complain about Ritsu Narose's inaction like a spoiled child.
Walking into a dessert shop, Shiina Riki watched Naruse Ritsu leisurely selecting desserts. When they emerged from the sweet-smelling dessert shop, even the sunlight outside seemed to have become a bit too sweet.
Unbeknownst to them, Chihaya Aine was enthusiastically trying to extract information from Wakaba Mutsu with a clip of the variety show.
Obviously, Chihaya Aine's decision was correct.
Variety shows with her parents participating - even if Ye Mu herself is not interested, she will watch them carefully.
Naturally, Wakaba Mutsuki recognized the passerby his father was interviewing as Naruse Ritsuki. And while the girl standing next to him didn't reveal her face, her posture and movements made Wakaba Mutsuki easily think of someone he knew.
"Lixi?"
"what happened?"
As she approached the rest area, Shiina Riki heard someone saying her name. She responded out of habit, but she realized something was amiss.
Looking up, everyone present suddenly realized that the movement of Naruse Ritsu and Shiina Tatsuki standing together was so familiar.
Chihaya Aine stared at her in amazement and received the most unbelievable answer.

11. Battle of Asukayama: Prologue (Two-in-One)
The holiday is over, office workers have to go to work, and students naturally have to go to school.
As Nagasaki Suyo walked towards her seat in the classroom while greeting her classmates with a smile as usual, Wakaba Mutsu, who had already been sitting in the classroom, just watched silently.
Although Nagasaki Suyo's face was still smiling as always, she felt that something bad had changed.
As it turned out, her hunch was correct.
As the school bell rang, Wakaba Mutsu hadn't spoken to Nagasaki Suyo all day - usually it was she who came to find her, and when she ignored Wakaba Mutsu, the already lonely Wakaba Mutsu naturally became a piece of air.
It was not until the afternoon club practice ended that Nagasaki Suyo spoke to Wakaba Mutsu, who had been left out for the whole day.
Her purpose is very clear—
"I want to go to Xiaoxiang's house to find her."
She repeated the words that had been conveyed through the message before, but this time Nagasaki Suyo was not speaking to Wakaba Mutsu in a requesting tone.
When she told him her plan, she saw the embarrassment on Wakaba Mu's face.
How many times has a similar expression appeared on Ruoye Mu?
At this point, Nagasaki Suyo couldn't figure it out at all.
She only knew that she could let Wakaba Mu contact Toyokawa Shoko with peace of mind. As for why...
"Whether before or now, Xiao Mu always does things that make everyone sad."
His body trembled involuntarily, and Wakaba Mu lowered his head, not daring to look at Nagasaki Suyo.
She couldn't deny this.
So, should she agree to Su Shi’s request?
But Xiangzi is a very capable person and it is impossible for him to agree to such a thing.
Feeling like a sandbag being beaten back and forth by both sides, Wakaba Mu suddenly remembered what Mingse Ritsu had said to her in her torment.
"If we blindly follow their instructions, it's only to be expected that conflicts will eventually arise."
"Have your own thoughts..." The light green girl who had always been treated like a doll whispered silently in her heart, and Nagasaki Suyo, who saw her behavior, gradually became a little anxious.
However, she did not urge Ruoye Mu, but just sat on a bench nearby and waited quietly for Ruoye Mu to agree to her request as he had done in the past.
Then, she heard—
"I...can't agree to that."
Looking up in surprise, Nagasaki Suyo couldn't imagine that she would hear such a clear rejection from Wakaba Mutsu.
"Why? We are friends, right? If Xiaomu knows where Xiaoxiang's home is, why can't he tell me?"
"because……"
