Mygo, are you all yanderes?

Mortis, who had been AFK in Kusano Akira's bag, immediately understood Toyokawa Shoko's intention upon hearing her words.

Since Toyokawa Shoko is in such a hurry, she can't follow her previous plan to stay with Kusano Akira a little longer; she has to speed things up.

Once you figure out Kusano Akira's current interpersonal relationships, hurry back into your body.

Right now, Wakaba Mutsumi only has an obsession with Kusano Akira, but she hasn't truly fallen in love with him yet. Mortis is very afraid that she will be as oblivious to feelings as he was in the past, and by the time she realizes it, it will be too late.

Therefore, Mortis felt that whether she wanted to induce, persuade, or deceive, even if Wakaba Mutsumi didn't really like Kusano Akira, she had to make Wakaba Mutsumi believe that she did.

In any case, feelings are something that develop through interaction, and Mortis was quite certain that when Wakaba Mutsumi fell in love with him, she would be grateful to him.

Of course, Mortis is not afraid of what Toyokawa Shoko is doing now. If it were the old Kusano Akira who was easily killed at first sight, he might actually be hurt by this, and Toyokawa Shoko's plan might actually succeed.

However, Toyokawa Shoko had just returned and was unaware of what was happening around Kusano Akira. Mortis, on the other hand, had been with Kusano Akira for a whole day, and she was certain that Toyokawa Shoko's tactic was completely ineffective.

When Wakaba Mutsu heard Toyokawa Shoko say these words directly, he became anxious and immediately pulled his hand away from Toyokawa Shoko, gripping Kusano Akira's hand tightly with both hands and looking anxiously at Kusano Akira's face.

She really didn't expect that Toyokawa Shoko would actually flip the table.

However, to their surprise, Kusano Akira's expression did not turn into the sorrowful look they had imagined after hearing this. Instead, he looked at them with a strange expression.

"……that's all?"

What do you mean by "just like that"?

Shoko Toyokawa was somewhat bewildered when she didn't see the look that Akira Kusano wanted to see.

That's not right. In Toyokawa Shoko's memory, Kusano Akira would have been very sad if he heard his friend say "we're breaking up."

Even if you're not sad, you shouldn't have this expression!

Especially considering the level of intimacy he and Wakaba Mutsu showed, Toyokawa Shoko felt that Kusano Akira shouldn't be like this.

What's with that expression? It's like they're used to it.

Kusano Akira, on the other hand, found it somewhat amusing.

Seeing that Toyokawa Shoko and Wakaba Mutsu were acting as if it were the real deal, he thought they were about to say something amazing.

That's just how it is.

If it were yesterday—or even this morning—Kusano Akira wouldn't have said it was so calm, but since this morning, Wakaba Mutsu has been bringing up the issue of breaking off relations.

Kusano Akira considered himself a person who could handle stress and speak well. Since Ruoye Mu didn't directly make a definitive statement this morning, he would have the corresponding resistance to this matter this afternoon.

So Toyokawa Shoko's trick is completely useless now.

Furthermore, it should be noted that Wakaba Mutsumi said this twice in one day. Saints cannot be defeated twice by the same move, so Kusano Akira, at least from Wakaba Mutsumi's perspective, was not affected by this matter.

Moreover, judging from Wakaba Mutsumi's resistant demeanor and Toyokawa Shoko's forceful behavior just now, it's easy to tell that Wakaba Mutsumi wasn't sincere, which makes Kusano Akira even less concerned.

"...This is a complete break, Kusano-kun, don't you care at all?"

Toyokawa Shoko looked at Kusano Akira with hesitation.

"...Logically speaking, I should care."

Kusano Akira was still somewhat helpless.

If Ye Mu didn't care, then Toyokawa Shoko's attitude was still hard for Kusano Akira to figure out.

Suddenly they're targeting him again, and the difference in their attitude is exactly the same as what happened to Nagasaki Motoyo this morning. Are all Crychic people like this?

But just now he seemed to express concern for his injury—this is something Kusano Akira himself sensed.

What a capricious person!

"If that's the case, I'll be going now."

Kusano Akira scratched Wakaba Mutsu's palm with his finger, winked at her, and then walked away, trying to leave the two of them.

"Wait, at least let Mu say it himself...!"

Toyokawa Shoko tried to grab Kusano Akira's hand, but missed.

She still didn't believe it. Although she knew the plan had failed, she still wanted to try and make Kusano Akira hear Wakaba Mutsumi say it again.

It has to have at least some effect, otherwise what will all her actions, done with the intention of offending Mortis, amount to?

Seeing Kusano Akira's performance, Wakaba Mutsu breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that there was no problem on his end. Seeing Kusano Akira about to leave, he let go of his hand, and after watching him leave, he turned back to look at Toyokawa Shoko, who had a puzzled expression.

Seeing how much pressure Toyokawa Shoko exerted in front of her, and how she created problems that she couldn't figure out how to solve, these problems were immediately solved when she was in front of Kusano Akira.

Wakaba Mutsumi genuinely felt that Kusano Akira was truly amazing.

"...Why, this isn't right?"

Toyokawa Shoko's plan failed in its very first step.

She bit her thumb, somewhat troubled, wondering how her plan could have ended so abruptly, and in such a rushed manner.

But no matter how much she thought about it, she couldn't find the answer. She could only conclude that everything now was different from what she remembered.

"...Two...So it really is the Butterfly Effect? ​​Or is there something else influencing it...?"

"Xiang, aren't you leaving?"

If Ye Mu walked back to Toyokawa Shoko, who was muttering to herself, and asked her in a low voice.

"...Oh, let's go."

Looking at Wakaba Mutsu's face, Toyokawa Shoko felt a sense of powerlessness.

The road ahead is long and arduous. Since this plan has failed, let's look for other solutions.

Author's Note: 7

Volume 1: Chapter 39 (Thirty-Seven). Kusano Akira is used to it.

Although the matter between Toyokawa Shoko and Wakaba Mutsu hasn't been resolved yet, at least it's been dragged out, and Kusano Akira doesn't have to think about it until Wakaba Mutsu contacts him tonight.

Since that's the case, Kusano Akira knew he could go and focus on the band's affairs. He had been preoccupied with some inexplicable things all day, and was truly exhausted both mentally and physically.

It's either a major revelation of her dark past, or Chihaya Aine's sudden erratic behavior, or the eccentric sisters Wakaba Mutsumi and Toyokawa Shoko.

Kusano Akira once again felt the difficulty of making friends.

Kusano Akira didn't plan to hide in the shadows and wait for Wakaba Mutsu as before. Otherwise, if Toyokawa Shoko discovered him hiding in the shadows again and made things difficult for him once more, he really wouldn't be able to do anything about it.

Thinking about it carefully, it's true that Jiu should go to RIG. From accompanying Wakaba Mutsu after school to the end of his dealings with Toyokawa Shoko, although it seems like not much has happened, a lot of time has really passed, and it's getting close to dusk.

Chihaya Aine and the others who left school later than him but went ahead were probably already close to RIG by now.

Kusano Akira felt he needed to speed things up. Although there was still some time left before the agreed training time, strange things had been happening around him ever since he entered high school.

He had never experienced so much in the past sixteen years of his life.

In short, I absolutely cannot be late like last time.

He was lucky when he was late last time, because there was a more serious habitual offender next to him who asked Rakuna to take the brunt of Shiina Ritsuki's fire, which allowed him to escape.

But that was just a coincidence. Such good things don't happen every day. Kusano Akira couldn't afford to gamble on whether someone would still take the brunt of Shiina Tatsuki's pressure for him.

Moreover, Kusano Akira himself wanted to practice as much as possible, as the performance was next week. His anxiety was not much less than Shiina Tatsuki's, but he had too many things to do, so it seemed like he wasn't very concerned.

The failure he suffered in junior high school was already disheartening enough, and Kusano Akira was determined not to fail this time performing with his bandmates.

Moreover, many netizens are coming to see this performance, so Kusano Akira's decision to reveal his performance location and appearance to them is somewhat of a desperate gamble.

Unsuccessful, they become benevolent.

Moreover, he still clearly remembered the perfect plan he had made this morning—a study session.

Kusano Akira was hoping to use the study group to foster camaraderie among the band members and, incidentally, resolve Nagasaki Motoyo's issues. He needed to try inviting all the band members to his home.

Chihaya Aine and Takamatsu Akari, who are from the same school, know about his plan, so there's no need to worry about them at all; they will definitely come.

Takamatsu Akari even seemed very eager to go, which made Kusano Akira somewhat regretful—Takamatsu Akari already had some inexplicable obsession with him, and if he told her his home address this time, it would be even harder for Kusano Akira to diminish Takamatsu Akari's feelings for him.

However, this was a necessary sacrifice, and Kusano Akira felt that no matter how obsessed Takamatsu Akira was, it was impossible for her to actually come to his house.

Treat Takamatsu Akari's relationship with the main character as a side quest and leave it for later. Complete the main quest before considering farming her character's quest.

Anyway, there's still time.

As for Nagasaki Motoyo, the situation is both easy and difficult to resolve.

Although she lived in the same building as Kusano Akira, they weren't really close friends, so he couldn't know her intentions.

She even began to feel a vague aversion to Kusano Akira, for reasons she didn't know.

Kusano Akira can't expect to persuade Nagasaki Motoyo on his own; she most likely won't agree—but that doesn't mean there aren't other options.

If everyone except her goes to Kusano Akira's house, then she has no reason to refuse.

If he asks Chihaya Aine to persuade Nagasaki Motoyo together, Nagasaki Motoyo will have no choice but to come, even if it's just out of herd mentality.

Regarding Kaname—Kusano Akira plans to try to attract her with sweets and the musical instruments in his house. This is the only trick he knows that might work on Kaname, and he hopes it will.

Of course, Kusano Akira didn't have high expectations either, since Kaname was too free and he could hardly see her except for practice.

It could even be said that he knew the least about Yao Lenai, and didn't even know where she went to school or whether she went to school at all.

I've never seen her or Shiina Ritsuki wear school uniforms, but at least Shiina Ritsuki can be said to work at RIG, so she only wears work clothes.

Rakuna was always wearing an outfit that was too mature and didn't suit her at all.

Therefore, it can be said that apart from Chihaya Aine and Takamatsu Akira, the others are not people that Kusano Akira can easily invite.

Especially considering that Kusano Akira was still a boy.

Secondly, whether or not Rakuna can be dealt with depends entirely on Kusano Akira's luck and her mood. Nagasaki Motoyo has to deal with others before she can deal with her, but Shiina Tatsuki can still be manipulated—so at this critical juncture, Kusano Akira absolutely cannot do anything that would worsen her mood.

Without a doubt, delaying the band's practice is the only thing Kusano Akira can think of that would make Shiina Tatsuki angry—perhaps angering Takamatsu Akari would also count.

So, after making up his mind, Kusano Akira ran towards RIG at the fastest speed he had ever been.

Three……………………

Although Kusano Akira seemed very anxious, feeling that he would be late again if he didn't hurry up, there was actually still some time before training started when he arrived.

However, he was indeed a bit late compared to usual, so by the time Kusano Akira successfully arrived at RIG before the scheduled practice time, the rest of the band, including Kaname, were already waiting in the practice room.

Kusano Akira ran into RIG, asked Shinji Rinko and the others which room they were in, and then headed towards that room.

When he pushed open the door, the noise inside stopped. Chihaya Aine stopped talking, and Kaname Rakuna stopped playing the guitar.

"Sorry I'm late..."

Kusano Akira walked into the practice room, apologizing as he put down the keyboard. He looked around and noticed that everyone was looking at him differently than usual.

Takamatsu Akari didn't immediately stick to him, and Chihaya Aine didn't complain as usual about him arriving too late or not leaving with them.

Unlike usual, Kaoru was not uninterested in anything today. She looked at Kusano Akira with eyes that seemed to say, "You're an interesting person," and a pleasant smile played on her lips.

Kusano Akira was pleased that Rakuna was interested in him, as it meant he finally had a way to get closer to her, which would also help him invite her to the study group.

However, Kusano Akira felt somewhat uncomfortable watching so intently.

At first glance, Nagasaki Motoyo and Shiina Tatsuki don't seem much different from before—but that's only at first glance.

Although his expression was no different from usual, he seemed to be avoiding Kusano Akira's gaze.

"...What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"

Kusano Akira touched his face in confusion, but didn't feel anything. He only felt the new Band-Aid that Takamatsu Akira had put on him at the school gate earlier.

"...Oh, you're here. Let's rehearse then."

Shiina Tatsuki looked at Kusano Akira's face, hesitant to speak, and opened his mouth several times, but in the end he could only utter this dry sentence.

Just now, when Kusano Akira hadn't arrived, Nagasaki Motoyo asked Chihaya Aine out of curiosity, "Did Kusano Akira not come with them today again?"

Unexpectedly, this sentence was like a switch, directly opening up Chihaya Aine's mouth, and the atmosphere around her suddenly changed from sunny to resentful.

She then launched into a 10-minute rant about Kusano Akira, including some slightly private things about him—like his chuunibyou (middle school syndrome).

After talking for a long time, Chihaya Aine seemed to have discovered something and abruptly changed the subject.

Of course, when Chihaya Aine told her that Kusano Akira was a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur) and had given himself such an unbearable nickname, Shiina Tatsuki didn't believe it at all.

After all, although they couldn't say they knew each other very well, Kusano Akira gave Shiina Tatsuki the impression of being a thoughtful and reliable guy.

At this point, when people said he was some kind of super chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) sufferer, or that his nickname was longer than the lyrics of Kasuga Kage's song, Shiina Tatsuki didn't believe it at all, taking it as just Chihaya Aine's ordinary complaint.

The idea of ​​'Itsumade having his third eye sealed' is just too silly; it's laughable to even think about it.

Then Kusano Akira came in. 5熘∧№¨叁…《∫·［#児ｏSUO:
