Comet Dragon, breaking into the gravity field

Whether it was a year ago or now, she had never seen the so-called "introversion" appear in Nagasaki Suyo.

"Because Su Shi has always been trying to be strong."

"Showing off..."

Muttering to himself, after hearing the truth told by Ritsu Narose, Takamatsu Deng looked as if he had just woken up from a dream.

It was like finding the key to open a door. Takamatsu Deng, who had always been troubled by Su Shi's sudden emotional outburst that day, finally understood the reason.

It turned out to be like this...

Su Shi has been forcing himself all along.

Having made up his mind, Takamatsu Deng raised his head and looked at Naruse Ritsu and said, "I'm willing to go."

There was no confusion in her words, only determination and courage filling her heart.

Seeing her appearance, Naruse Ritsu felt surprised and delighted, while Shiina Ritsuki was left with only surprise and hesitation.

"Now the only one missing is you, Lixi?"

"Eh? What about me?"

Pointing at herself, Chihaya Aine looked at her boyfriend who ignored her in shock.

“If it were Aine, she wouldn’t refuse something like this, right?”

"Well……"

He could completely guess what she was thinking - this must be proof that they were in tune with each other, but this was no reason to ignore her girlfriend!

Unable to help but puff up her cheeks, Chihaya Aine looked like an angry frog.

However, this slight dissatisfaction soon dissipated. Picking up the guitar beside her, Chihaya Aine was the first to prepare to set off at any time.

"I'll be forewarned that I can't bring any musical instruments."

Even though he agreed to go to Nagasaki's house with everyone, Shiina Riki still refused to give in.

Having anticipated this situation, Ritsu Narose took out a tablet from his backpack and handed it to her.

"If you can't play the drums, then use the music as an excuse."

When he saw the tablet computer he had used before, Shiina Tatsuki realized that he had sneaked away.

Afraid of being noticed by the others present, she could only try her best to pretend that nothing had happened. However, no matter how hard she tried to disguise herself, she could not hide it from the vigilant Chihaya Aine.

The suspicious gaze that swept back and forth made Shiina Riki's scalp tingle.

The atmosphere during the chat this afternoon was so harmonious that Shiina Riki completely forgot that his relationship with Naruse Ritsu had undergone a qualitative change - especially since he knew that he was having an ambiguous relationship with two other girls.

Normally a strong woman, she didn't dare meet Chihaya Aine's gaze. After returning the tablet to Naruse Ritsu, Shiina Riki buried her head in the desk, fulfilling her responsibilities as a part-time worker.

Taking advantage of this last period of time before departure, Ritsu Narose reviewed his plan again.

At first glance, this move seems to be a desperate move, but in fact, this idea came from his understanding of Nagasaki Sushi.

Just as he had told everyone before, he believed that the real Nagasaki Suyo had never changed.

The gentleness and patience she displayed were all due to her stubbornness, but it was not limited to this. If it was just because of stubbornness, she would not have gone to such a point.

Therefore, Ritsu Naruse also doesn't believe that she can completely give up everything she has now.

Thinking of this, he pressed the doorbell of Nagasaki's house.

About ten seconds later, Ritsu Narose heard light footsteps coming from far away in the house.

Noticing the gazes from inside the house coming through the peephole, he smiled and waved.

The next second, the heavy door was opened from the inside.

The person who appeared in front of Chihaya Aine and the others was Nagasaki Suyo, whom they had never seen before, with a calm and gloomy expression on her face.

16. They are not soft-hearted but hard-working.

They had a premonition in their hearts as early as when they entered the lobby on the first floor, but when they walked in, they were still shocked by the high-end apartment in front of them.

Standing at attention on the spot is the case.

“It’s just like a hotel…”

Hearing Chihaya Aine actually say the same exclamation as someone else when they first came here, Nagasaki Suyo's face couldn't help but look a little strange.

After glaring at Ritsu Narose, she took the initiative to make room for him and watched in silence as Ritsu Narose took the lead and walked into her home.

While feeling thankful that her mother was not at home at this time, Nagasaki Suyo suspected that Naruse Ritsu knew about this situation in advance, so she chose this time to bring a group of people to visit.

Faced with these uninvited guests, Nagasaki Suyo found it difficult to face them with a normal attitude.

She wanted to put on a sour face and send them away quickly - leaving only Ritsu Naruse alone would be enough, but her body still obeyed and went to entertain them.

Even though she was unhappy, Nagasaki Suyo still adhered to the hospitality code and poured tea for everyone.

"So, what do you want to do?" Putting the last cup of tea in front of Naruse Ritsu, Nagasaki Suyo's tone sounded indifferent, as if she didn't care about their plans at all.

"Since Sushi has been absent from band practice, I suggested that everyone come together."

"is it?"

Nagasaki Suyo completely disbelieved this nonsense and glanced at the other people present. When she saw Kaname Rakuna, whom she hadn't seen since the live ended, her mood became even more complicated.

Hate?

It hasn't reached that point yet.

anger?

The original anger has long faded with time.

Finding she couldn't bear to be angry at any of them, Nagasaki Suyo felt like the "Thirteen Spices" her mother used to make with her at home when she had nothing to do.

It is impossible to describe it with a single word, her mood at the moment is so complicated.

"I want to play the guitar." Looking past Chihaya Aine who was sitting in the middle, Kaname Rakuna looked at Naruse Ritsu with bright eyes.

After sitting on the sofa for a few minutes, Yao Lenai began to get restless.

Her cat instinct made her feel Nagasaki Suyo's gaze, but to her, this was not as important as playing the guitar.

He easily picked up the guitar case next to the sofa and handed over Chihaya Aine's guitar as well.

Although Kaname's actions were just a manifestation of her willful behavior, Chihaya Aine, who was familiar with Naruse Ritsu, had already understood the deeper meaning behind his actions.

Even though the owner of the house hadn't said anything yet, fellow guitarists Chihaya Aine and Kaname Rana took out their guitars one after another, looking as if they were ready to practice.

——"Want to get the bass?"

Facing Naruse Ritsu's questioning gaze, Nagasaki Suyo lowered her eyes slightly and walked towards the spiral staircase without saying a word. She didn't stop Naruse Ritsu, who followed her automatically, until they reached her bedroom door, where she turned back.

Just before she entered the bedroom, Nagasaki Suyo took a last look at the living room on the first floor where voices continued to come from, and felt that something was changing in her heart.

In the past, she tried hard to be a good child in order to reassure her mother. However, even though she tried hard and ended up being called the "neighbor's kid" by others...she was unable to make the home lively.

The development of reality had nothing to do with her own efforts. Realizing this, Nagasaki Suyo was both depressed and lost, and thought it was a punishment for leaving her friend without saying goodbye.

When she was feeling discouraged, Shoko Toyokawa suddenly appeared and took the initiative to invite her to join the so-called "community of shared destiny".

However, fate played a trick on her again - after giving her that peaceful time, it cruelly took it away from her.

Does her current desire for CRYCHIC's rebirth stem from her own self-abandonment?

Close the door and everything returns to silence.

Nagasaki Motoyo stroked the case containing her bass guitar and looked at Naruse Ritsu standing beside her. "I just want everyone to gather together happily... Is this idea really too much?"

“If everything in the world could be categorized as right or wrong, there wouldn’t be so many people suffering.”

Naruse Ritsu paused, then continued, "You know, when I read books before, I was often afraid to see the ending."

“When I finish a book, I always feel a sense of loss, as if a friend I’ve known for many years is leaving and will never see him again.”

"But now, I don't feel that way anymore."

As if he was telling a story, his tone was unusually gentle. As a listener, Nagasaki Suyo just remained silent and did not say anything.

I seemed to hear the faint sound of snowflakes falling on the ground, and the sound of rain hitting the glass rang out one after another, and the coldness came from all directions again.

However, the next moment, the illusion that made her tremble disappeared.

Raising her head, Nagasaki Suyo saw that Naruse Ritsu was already standing in front of her, and she had unconsciously retreated to the wall.

“The stories in books will eventually come to an end, but the end of one’s own life is still a long way off.”

"Just because a story ends doesn't mean it's gone forever, and dwelling on the pain of loss is neither realistic nor healthy."

Most of the time, Nagasaki Suyo prefers to be tough rather than soft.

When faced with someone's soft attitude, she could respond in a way she knew how to do. Like in a game of rock-paper-scissors, she could anticipate their intentions a split second before they made a move.

But if the attitude becomes too tough and beyond her control, then she will have no idea what to do.

Her way was completely blocked by Ritsu Narushe, so Nagasaki Suyo had to lean against the wall and communicate with him face to face in this close manner.

"I won't let Sushi go. We formed this band together, so don't think you can just leave like that."

Hearing these almost "forced" words, a tingling sensation suddenly spread over her body, turning her face pink.

However, she was still struggling to maintain her inner dignity. Nagasaki Suyo pursed her lips and said angrily after a moment, "I haven't thought about it yet..."

"Apologise?"

“…They should apologize to me, too.”

Turning her face away, Nagasaki Suyo, who has always portrayed herself as a gentle and reliable mother, finally showed the expression she should have at her age.

Unhappiness was written all over her face. The girl suddenly buried her face in her lover's chest and said sullenly: "Am I really troublesome..."

"It's quite troublesome sometimes." Feeling the fingers pinching her waist gradually getting stronger, Naruse Ritsu added: "But that's the cute contrast. I think this kind of Suze is also very cute."

"rhetoric."

As she spoke, Nagasaki Motoyo nudged her lover, who had been so affectionate a moment before. She took the initiative to carry Beth on her back, opened the bedroom door, and walked into the brightly lit living room.

17. Post-relaxation date (two-in-one)

Sitting in the living room of Nagasaki's house, Takamatsu Deng was enveloped by a sense of emptiness and nothingness.

The glass windows that almost took up the entire wall, the simple yet stylish interior furnishings, the seats that showed no signs of being moved...all these factors combined made Gao Songdeng feel like a watermelon worm trapped in a transparent plastic box.

Loneliness and insignificance grew in her heart. Staring at the pots of green plants in the living room, she was still thinking about the truth that Mingse Ritsu had said before.

She held the written notebook in her hand, as if it could absorb the anxiety in her heart.

She looked up with a sense of purpose, and saw Nagasaki Suyo and Naruse Ritsu coming out of the room on the second floor, and Nagasaki Suyo had an extra bass on her body.

When she reached her, Takamatsu Deng suddenly stood up. She held the notebook in her arms and bowed her head solemnly to Nagasaki Suyo, saying, "I'm sorry."

Although she had just complained about something similar in the room, Nagasaki Suyo never expected that Takamatsu Touma would suddenly apologize to her at this time.

The thing she had been looking forward to suddenly happened, and she was at a loss, silent and didn't know what to say.

Shiina Riki next to them looked at them in astonishment, then turned his gaze to Naruse Ritsu, as if asking what was going on.

Chihaya Aine also stopped what she was doing, only Kaname Rakuna was still playing the guitar happily, completely unaffected by the atmosphere here.

"During the live, I ignored Su Shi's feelings... and—"

"Aren't we going to practice? Have you decided which song to practice?" Without letting Takamatsu Deng continue, Nagasaki Suyo took the initiative to change the subject.

The noisy sound of guitar continued in her ears. She glanced at Rana Kaname who was sitting on the sofa and said nothing more.

The resentment he initially felt towards others for not understanding him dissipated after hearing Takamatsu Deng's sincere apology, and was replaced by dissatisfaction with himself.

In fact, Nagasaki Suyo knew in her heart that losing her temper with them was just a form of venting her anger on them.

Seeing that they were able to reintegrate into the new group while she could only silently guard the forgotten memory that would never come back, she found it hard to accept this reality.

However, the truth is just as Toyokawa Shoko said that night, no one has ever asked her to do this - her efforts are actually just a form of self-satisfaction.

But even after figuring this out, she was still afraid to return to the band.

Because she still hurt her bandmates regardless.

——"So this is what makes Su Shi so cute~"
