Mygo? Bandori Girls? The goal is The Idolmaster!

It's just a small ball in Yuecun, it's irrelevant.

Furthermore, Hikawa Hina muttered, "This is just the beginning. Kosaki's behavior of being absent-minded almost every night is the most difficult thing to deal with."

After arriving on the island, Hikawa Hina naturally entered a special state of paying special attention to Saki's actions. She believed that Genmaki Shin was the same; at least, when Saki went out, they were both awake, but they woke up from their sleep at the fastest speed, which could be said to be terrifying in a sense?

But neither of them thought so. They thought Saki's behavior was horrible because Saki went out at night to meet Wakaba Mutsu.

To put it bluntly, this is Lian... Oh, Saki herself is not an adult yet, so it is not heavy industry, but it is puppy love, and the nature is just as serious, bad, and excessive!

Hikawa Hina doesn't want that to happen, because in her eyes, Saki has always been a gentle and reliable person. How could Saki fall in love too early? It's completely irrational, right?

Hikawa Hina has heard that Shirogane Rinko wants Saki to take over her position as student council president.

Saki must pay more attention to his words and actions, right?

So, why would Saki choose someone from Tsukinomori? She should have chosen someone from Haneda. And since Saki is the future student council president, it would be perfectly natural for Saki to marry Haneda, considering the principle of equal status, right?

So, where is the student council president from Haneda? Isn't he right here?

Hikawa Hina has a lot to say to Saki, and she thinks Saki should accept this kindness.

But Saki never gave her a chance, and now she's out looking for a little sister. Is this reasonable?

"..." Hikawa Hina looked at Xianjuanxin in front of her, and she had more things to say in her heart, but she couldn't say it. Who made her understand Xianjuanxin's thoughts?

The two of them were good friends, their closeness probably a little weaker than hers with Saki and her sister, and about the same level of closeness as she had with everyone in Paspale.

She must understand Xian Juanxin's thoughts.

Although Genmaki Shin is not Saki Quan's confirmed person, she is not far behind.

As soon as she showed the slightest thought of "persuading" Saki, Genmaki Shin would step in to stop her, just like she sealed her hands that night.

“…Kokoro, do you really think it’s okay for Kosaki to continue like this? Kosaki might be on the wrong path.” Hikawa Hina tried to persuade Genmaki Kokoro.

On the other side, Saki once again caught up with "Wakaba Mutsu".

Because Wakaba Mutsu had seen his heavy emotions during the day, this time, Saki did not quietly hold the girl's shoulders or think about giving her a surprise.

Saki called out softly, "Xiao Mu, can't you sleep again tonight?"

But what Kesaki did during the day left a deep impression on Wakaba Mutsu. The girl's first reaction was not happiness, but fear, as if she heard the sound of boiling water.

She was worried that Saki would retaliate and ask her: "Xiao Mu, why are you distancing yourself from me? Do you have someone else outside?"

What worried her even more was that Saki threw her to the ground and started examining her body.

Given the extent to which Saki, Hikawa Hina, and Genmaki Shin were messing around together... "Wakaba Mutsu" felt that Saki could handle both of her hands with one hand, and the other hand would be enough to hold her so tightly that she couldn't get up again.

But in order to prevent Saki from seeing the flaw and to avoid the other party from hurting Xiao Mu, "Wakaba Mu" tried hard to hide the uneasiness in his heart and looked at Saki with as calm a gaze as possible.

She was very glad that Xiaomu was usually an expressionless and dazed child, otherwise, she would not know what kind of mentality and expression to use to face Saki.

[I have a feeling this guy has a dark and heavy past similar to Xiao Mu's. Could it be that this guy is actually similar to me... No, no, no, no matter how I think about it, I can't be that dark and heavy, right?!]

"Ruoye Mu" felt scared again.

Saki sensed the fear in the girl's heart, and she just found it funny. She never imagined that Xiao Mu's other side was such a soft and cute child. She even wanted to scare the child a little.

But this is definitely not a good idea. If it scares the child and leaves him with a psychological trauma, it would be bad if it also scares Xiao Mu.

Without thinking, Saki grabbed the girl's slender and small hand and whispered, "Xiao Mu, the night is long, let's keep each other company for a while."

"If you can't sleep because of something bothering you, you can tell me, Xiaomu. Aren't we friends?"

"Then, if Xiaomu has anything he wants to do, he can tell me directly. If it is safe and possible, I will accompany Xiaomu."

As she spoke, Saki revealed a gentle smile that reminded people of a warm jade pendant.

“…” Looking at Saki like this, “Wakaba Mutsu” almost forgot the heavy emotions that Saki had expressed to Shiraishi Chisei during the day.

Because Saki seems really cute and reliable, and doesn't seem like a bad kid at all. Her past must have been light and bright, like... no, definitely brighter than Toyokawa Shoko's past!

After a moment of silence, Wakaba Mutsu thought of a way to test Saki's true face. She whispered, "I want to see the sea, the truest side of the sea."

The two were walking on the beach and could be seen at a glance, so what she meant was not as simple as it sounds. What she wanted was to dive and see the truth beneath the sea!

But the sea at night is full of dangers and is extremely dangerous. Any normal person would not accept such a request and would definitely preach to it in a very serious tone.

Diving late at night without any tools, isn't that courting death?

"Wakaba Mutsu" felt that Saki would definitely not agree. After all, Saki was a principled person and would not spoil her children.

But she never expected that Saki's answer would be:

"Okay~"

This answer completely confused "Wakaba Mu". Is this still the Konoe Saki that she and Xiaomu know?

Chapter 218 I suddenly envy Xiao Mu

After hearing Saki's answer, Wakaba Mutsu felt his brain buzzing, as if the whole world had drifted away from him.

Because Saki's answer was completely different from what she expected, and it didn't match the impression she and Xiaomu had of the gentle but opinionated Konoe Saki.

At this moment, "Wakaba Mutsu" even felt that Konoe Saki actually had a dark and heavy past, and the personality that was revealed now was actually the dark inner personality.

Or maybe the usually sunny and cheerful Konoe Saki is the inner personality, and the dark and heavy outer personality only appears late at night.

It sounds like a horror story.

In Wakaba Mutsu's opinion, this was the most reasonable explanation. Other than that, no other reason could explain Konoe Saki's drastic change.

It can't be that Saki simply wants to encourage Xiaomu to make decisions on his own and help him develop himself better, right?

Would she take such a huge risk for an ordinary friend? She could have traveled back to ancient times and become a saint, right?

Maybe it’s because “Wakaba Mu” is a dark and heavy personality, she feels that there can’t be such a person in this world.

She would rather admit her own darkness and heaviness, and would rather believe that Saki also has a dark and heavy side, than believe that there is such a person in the world.

The next moment, she heard Saki say, "Because, this is a rare time for Xiaomu to express his own ideas. Although it's a bit dangerous to swim in the sea at this time, there's nothing we can do. I promised Xiaomu that I would support his sincere decision."

"So, as long as this is Xiaomu's true feeling, as long as Xiaomu just dives into the shallows to take a look and comes out right away, I don't mind. Then, I also want to tell Xiaomu that looking at the ocean at night only shows the dark side of the ocean, not the full spectrum of it."

"If Xiaomu wants to see the bright side of the ocean, then let's go into the water again tomorrow morning. I will take Xiaomu with me to see the beautiful and peaceful side of the ocean."

"..." Hearing what Saki said, Wakaba Mutsu fell silent. In her opinion, Saki like this was just right; this was the Saki she knew.

In her eyes, Saki is such a gentle and considerate person, but also has his own persistence.

[…No! That’s not right! It’s not how I see it, it’s how Xiaomu sees it! These are Xiaomu’s thoughts, and have nothing to do with me!]

Compared to this, "Wakaba Mutsu" really wanted to complain about Saki's advice. What does it mean to dive into the shallow water and take a look?

Is this the truest view of the ocean? If you don't want people to see it, just say so. Don't act like you care about them.

Ruoye Mu wanted to say this, but she couldn't. She was even embarrassed to think about it in her heart, because she felt that it would only make her look like she couldn't afford to lose.

Saki cares so much about Xiaomu and favors Xiaomu that she even puts Xiaomu's thoughts above her own willingness to preach. She only preaches after agreeing to Xiaomu's request.

What else could she say? If she continued to dwell on it, she would be just looking for trouble.

Wakaba Mutsuki does have her own little thoughts, but she has never been a bad kid. She will not ignore the facts, let alone be unreasonable. After listening to Saki's thoughts and preaching, she is completely convinced that Saki is a good woman through and through, and is really easygoing and bright.

Maybe it's similar to the previous Toyokawa Shoko?

"No, that woman has absolutely no idea how to properly interact with a child who lacks self-esteem. She's all good intentions, but she's powerless. Now, she's become a person whose mind is solely focused on herself. That's not good at all! This person... Kosaki is completely different."

Although she was a little shy, "Wakaba Mu" felt that it was never a bad thing to admit one's mistakes and correct them. Even though she felt that Konoe Saki had a dark and heavy past the moment before, that moment had passed, and now she was a brand new one.

Isn't it normal for her to have brand new ideas?

At this time, "Wakaba Mu" heard Saki ask in a gentle tone: "Xiao Mu, are you sure you want to go in the water and take a look? I will accompany you. Look."

As he spoke, Saki took Wakaba Mutsu's hand, interlocking their fingers naturally, and raised his hand in front of the girl, asking her to look at it carefully.

"Wakaba Mutsu" saw it clearly, because Saki's smile was very bright, so bright that even if she said on the spot "Not even death can separate us", it would not scare "Wakaba Mutsu". She would even feel happy and relieved because of it.

Realizing this, "Ruoye Mu" felt a burning sensation on his face. Maybe he was shy.

Would even someone like her feel shy?

"Ruoye Mu" didn't know and was a little surprised because she didn't hate this.

Such changes happened in just a few minutes, which was extremely surprising.

Even Ruoye Mu was surprised. But after thinking for a moment, she nodded vigorously, indicating that she wanted to see the sea.

This was not actually her true thought, but was used to test Saki's ability to act.

Because she felt that words were powerless and anyone could say nice things; she wanted to see Saki's true behavior and she wanted to know whether Saki would really take the risk with her.

If so...she can't thank me much anyway.

"Wakaba Mutsu" was so insistent, but Saki didn't say anything. He just accompanied "Wakaba Mutsu" to warm up and take deep breaths, and then dived into the water with the girl without any delay.

The sea in the dark night is already extremely terrifying, let alone underwater where there is almost no light?

Even if they just looked at the shallow water, they could feel the presence of the beach under their feet, but if they looked into the distance... "Ruoye Mu" felt that darkness would rush in with a roar and swallow them both in an instant.

The sea in the night is dark, cold and boring, just like the dark and deep spiritual world, which reminds "Ruoye Mu" of a very bad experience.

No hope left

No Redemption

[I can only feel my own existence in this dark and terrifying world]

Wakaba Mutsu's hairs practically stood on end. She even felt a little regretful. She felt like she shouldn't have gone into the water to see this damned real world. She should have been playing with sand on the beach, building castles, and enjoying the bright world with Saki, instead of coming here to suffer.

The next moment, "Ruoye Mu" found himself floating on the surface of the water and could start breathing deeply.

But she clearly didn't move.

Wakaba Mutsu subconsciously looked at the girl beside her, and then saw Saki smiling at her. He said, "It's boring in the dark underwater, but when the sun shines brightly, it becomes full of hope. I'll bring Mutsu to see it again tomorrow."

"..."

“...Yeah.” After a long silence, “Ruoye Mu” finally answered in a low voice.

For some reason, she suddenly felt a little envious of Xiao Mu.

Chapter 219 Wait and hope

This should be the emotion called envy, right?

"Ruoye Mu" was not very clear, because she had never had such a feeling. After all, Xiao Mu's life had always been very boring.

Although she once had a close childhood friend who cared about her, the child was obviously imitating her mother, Mizuho Toyokawa, and did not know the correct way to raise a child. The child obviously did not know that what her friend needed was herself, not someone else to do things for her.

However, Xiao Mu was still very grateful to the child, because the child actually provided her with some breathing space and time; however... the child did not help Xiao Mu where she needed help the most, and the child himself got into trouble.

"Wakaba Mu" would laugh at her without hesitation, calling her someone whose mind is only focused on herself.

But later, Xiao Mu met another gentle and reliable girl. Ruoye Mu originally thought that this was just the second Toyokawa Shoko and that the relationship would not last long. Unexpectedly...

After observing for a while, "Ruoye Mu" had to admit: [This girl is different.]

Especially now, "Ruoye Mu" is convinced that this girl is fundamentally different from the girls Xiao Mu has met before, and she is really willing to help when something happens.

"Ruoye Mu" felt that the dark sea was very scary. At this moment, she was pulled up by the girl. She floated to the surface and could breathe fresh air greedily.

This was actually a very common experience, as the two were in shallow water and could have surfaced with a little effort.

"Wakaba Mutsu" was reminded of bad memories by the dark and deep sea, and she almost forgot this fact. If Saki hadn't pulled her out in time... she would probably have to wait until she looked like she was drowning before being pulled out.

The timing was perfect, so perfect that Saki seemed to see through her and realized that she was not the real Xiaomu.

Wakaba Mutsu didn't think so at all. She felt that her acting skills were top-notch and that Konoe Saki would never be able to see her true identity. She felt that everything Konoe Saki did was out of concern for Mutsu.

So, after coming to the surface, "Ruoye Mu" felt relieved. She felt that Xiao Mu was lucky to have such a good friend.

The dark sea is very scary, but it is not scary because Saki is by my side.

"Wakaba Mutsu" felt that Mutsu could say this confidently and proudly because Saki was really paying attention to her situation every moment.

It was also because of this that "Ruoye Mu" rarely felt the emotion called "envy".

Xiao Mu is the main personality. She has genuine friends who will step up when she needs them most. Xiao Mu can naturally sing the praises of hope and courage because, despite her uncomfortable living environment, she is always accompanied by her friends/personalities.

What about "Ruoye Mu"? She only has Xiao Mu, but she is trying to help Xiao Mu.

She was born and exists to help Xiaomu. If even she has to ask Xiaomu for help, won’t Xiaomu have no one to rely on?

But... when she was facing the dark and deep spiritual world alone, she really hoped that someone would come to help her; she also wanted friends, and she also wanted the right to rely on others.

Ruoye Mu naturally thought: [This world is very dangerous and cruel, but Xiao Mu is still loved.]
