Congratulations, Sushi, you have been optimized by me.

"But the question is...what should Aine and Ryuna do?"

At this critical moment, Nagasaki Suyo finally had no choice but to bring out Aine and Rakuna, two people who had a special relationship with Chihiro.

However, what made her speechless was that Tsuzuki Chihiro in front of her just shook her head slightly and said:

"What do Aine and Rakuna mean to me compared to the promise I made to you?"

"Eh?"

"And didn't you say it yourself? Aine and Lenna aren't suitable for this band. They should go to a more normal band. That's what you said, right?"

"……seems like it."

"And think about how lost Li Xi and Xiao Deng were at that moment. One of them blamed herself for not doing everything right, and the other blamed herself for not singing well, so everyone ended up in this situation.

So at this time, if we want them to regain their motivation as cyrchic, we have to sacrifice Aine and Ryuna."

"You mean... to put all the blame for the failure of the live on Aine and Rakuna?"

"Yes."

Tsuzuki Chihiro took a sip of water and teased the young widow cheerfully, "Aine's guitar skills are quite problematic. She was the one who made several mistakes that day. And although Lenai is quite good, you have to know that for a band..."

This stinky little sister who keeps disappearing is the one who deserves to be tortured the most."

"..."

Nagasaki Suyo suddenly felt a little regretful. Why did she always feel that the person she invited back was not a savior, but a demon who was even more evil than Nagasaki Suyo?

This guy is actually planning to use his own sister for his own sake?!

Well, although this kind of "awakening", considered from certain aspects, did make her feel a little touched.

"Do you really want to do this?"

"What's wrong? Su Shi, you're not going to betray our goal, are you? You..."

"Of course I won't! I've always been on your side." Nagasaki Motoyo looked at Tsuzuki Chihiro's expression which suddenly became a little sad and disappointed, and she stood up all of a sudden, expressing her attitude excitedly.

"That's good."

A smile appeared on Tsuzuki Chihiro's lips, which made Su Shi a little unsure of what to say next.

"But it's not that you're on my side, Sushi." Tsuzuki Chihiro stood up and walked behind Sushi, then gently hugged the frightened Sushi who was trembling slightly, "I have always stood by you. Your original wish made me understand. In fact, I also want to get my former teammates back, but I have never had the courage.

But you are different. You have indeed done something that many people have never done. Crychic can only come back because of you.

So I will definitely help you, which... is also helping myself."

“…Is that so?”

"Are you unhappy? Come on, smile~"

"Ha...haha...I'm so happy and touched." Fortunately, Chihiro was standing behind Su Shi at this moment, otherwise the expression on her face that looked like she was about to cry would definitely be noticed by Chihiro behind her.

"In that case, tomorrow I will pretend to be you and punish those pink-haired people severely.

Of course, you also have to help us do something important."

"……What's up?"

Nagasaki Suyo's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and she had a very ominous premonition.

"Go find Xiaomu tomorrow and tell her that you want to form a new band with her. When the time is right, you can bring Xiaoxiang in as well."

"I……"

"You can't be unable to do even this, can you? My sister Su Shi."

"……I see."

It's over, it's all over now.

Nagasaki Motoyo cried out in anger in her heart. Will she have to make a helpless choice between crychic and Chihiro in the end?

If she goes to find Xiaomu according to Chihiro's instructions at this time, wouldn't that be equivalent to going back to the old path?

She really doesn't want to kneel down anymore...

Chapter 132 Ruoye Mu: Su Shi is going to break down (2/2)

Tuesday, October 5th.

Today is not a very special day during the first semester of Moon Forest.

There were no major exams at school, no events to celebrate, and no major events that shocked the entire school.

But for Nagasaki Suyo, this was a time when she fell into darkness again after just starting a bright life.

Xiao Mu never stood on her side, and never supported her idea of forming a new crychic band to bring back the old ones from the past.

From the beginning to the end, Xiao Mu seemed to have seen the ending, a bad ending that Su Shi would not and was unwilling to admit.

But Nagasaki Suyo had no other choice.

Not to mention that I was completely controlled by Chihiro last night. Not only did I have to help with cooking and washing clothes, but I also had to help tidy up everything in that dead girl's new home.

Even though the damn devil Chihiro still has the leverage over her, a video clip that could completely ruin her socially, she didn't dare to raise any strong protest against this guy.

And...isn't this what I want?

Nagasaki Suyo looked at Xiaomu, who was walking towards the garden to water the cucumbers in the distance, and a self-deprecating smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

She got the ending she wanted, and even before she came up with that stupid plan with Xiaomu, she had already messed up Lixi's current band.

If it were my old self, if it were my first-round self who hadn't even had the chance to start over, perhaps I would be unable to suppress that smug smile right now, right?

But now she couldn't refuse to repeat the same mistake, not only because of the objective "threat" posed by Chihiro, but also because she didn't want Chihiro to feel that she had disappointed her.

With nervous steps, Nagasaki Suyo, who was reluctant but had to do it, walked slowly behind Xiaomu.

And Ruoye Mu had already sensed the presence of the familiar figure behind him.

Xiao Mu turned around and looked at Su Shi with a calm but somewhat worried look. Su Shi looked haggard because of the argument with his family about studying abroad, and even took a day off sick for this.

"Su Shi..."

Su Shi, are you okay... It was a simple greeting, but it was difficult for Xiao Mu to say it because she was afraid that Su Shi would respond with "I'm not okay".

The girl didn't want Su Shi to fall into the kind of predicament that might be impossible to escape again because of her words.

"Xiao Mu, I want to tell you something, is that okay?"

"Ah."

Ruoye Mu was particularly quiet today, so she put down the kettle, followed Su Shi to find a nearby bench and sat down next to Su Shi obediently.

Although she couldn't help Su Shi in any way, she hoped that she could temporarily serve as a qualified listener.

"Xiao Mu...I...I want to form a band."

"Eh?"

Seeing Xiaomu's extremely surprised expression, Nagasaki Suyo knew that her death was approaching.

Oh no, it should be said that crychic and Lixi's current nameless band are completely messed up because of her.

Should she blame Chihiro? No... This is her own fault, right?

It’s all because she always wants to have everything in her hands and get everything.

"I want to form a band." Su Shi took a deep breath. She felt that since she had already said it, there was no possibility of regret. She might as well use this method to end her delusion. "I want to call everyone together. When the time is right, I will pull Xiao Mu and Xiao Xiang over."

Finally finished.

These words really seemed to be squeezed out of her throat, making Su Shi feel like she would suffocate after saying them.

But now that she had said it, she seemed to feel a little relieved, although the guilt in her heart slowly crept up again.

Yes, no matter what Chihiro is doing, how she wants to cause trouble, or act like her old self, it is actually all supported by her behind the scenes.

She is the culprit that caused all this.

"But..." Ruoye Mu frowned, and seeing Su Shi's panicked expression, she tentatively asked, "But Su Shi, aren't you going to study abroad in the future?"

This seems to be the biggest problem, right?

If it weren't for this, Su Shi wouldn't have said this with such a conflicted expression today, because if it was the Su Shi from a month ago, based on Ruo Ye Mu's understanding of her, she would definitely have said this happily.

But today Su Shi... is not happy.

It was as if I summoned up all the courage in my heart when I said this.

"Study abroad?" Nagasaki Suyo was a little unresponsive. "What do you mean by study abroad? I didn't say I wanted to study abroad."

"It wasn't before..."

"Which one are you talking about?"

Nagasaki Suyo was a little embarrassed, a wry smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she explained helplessly, "I lied to you. I can't study abroad, and my mother won't force me to study abroad."

"Yeah……"

Su Shi is lying.

If this incident really didn't happen, Xiangzi wouldn't be so sure that it was true, and Su Shi wouldn't have such a wry smile and helpless expression on his face when he said this.

So that's how it is... Ruo Ye Mu suddenly understood.

So this is why Su Shi didn't come to school last Saturday. It was all because Su Shi had a big fight with her mother at home.

And yesterday, Monday, teacher ANON came to the school specifically to discuss studying abroad with Su Shi.

When it comes to studying abroad, it is definitely the most critical time.

But Su Shi didn't want to admit it, or didn't want to accept this result, but even if he didn't want to accept it, Su Shi could only pretend that this matter didn't exist.

So... is it because of Xiang's withdrawal that Su Shi has an unfulfilled wish that she must try her best to fulfill during these years of high school?

But Su Shi didn't know that Li Xi and Xiao Deng already had a new band, and in that band... there was no place for Su Shi.

If Su Shi knew about this... No, Su Shi can't know.

If that happens, Sushi will be ruined.

Although Ruoye Mu often doesn't know whether what she says is wrong or inappropriate, she knows that silence is the safest way of speaking.

So she couldn't tell Su Shi the truth about this matter.

"So, Xiao Mu, you probably won't agree, right?" Nagasaki Sushi had no idea that the Xiao Mu in front of her was completely different from last week's episode. She actually had so many things on her mind. "If it doesn't work, then..."

"I'll be there."

"Eh?"

"I...will join Sushi's band."

As for Xiang, Ruoye Mu could only hope that he would meet him in Yuqiu after school today, and that after knowing the truth, his inner thoughts would change.

Although Wakaba Mu felt... this didn't seem very likely.

Chapter 133 Su Shi, Let Me Save You (9)

Nagasaki Suyo was walking on the way home. In the dim light, the black stripes carved by several school fence posts on the ground were like the steps leading to the gallows for her, a sinner.

I could hear the happy laughter of my classmates. The clear laughter penetrated the cool breeze and echoed like carefree bells on the streets after school.

A group of students in neat uniforms walked side by side in front, their backpacks slung over their shoulders and snacks they had just bought at the school gate. Their sweet aroma filled the air, blending with the sunset glow, and the orange light cast on their faces, making them look particularly bright.

But that brightness never seemed to have anything to do with me.

"Did you watch the episode of Detective Granny that aired yesterday? I heard there will be new characters joining next week~"

"Really? But I heard she's An and Tendou's granddaughter, right? What was her name...ah, it doesn't matter."

"I'm so envious. An adult has arranged such a good life for me."

The life arranged by adults...is it really good?

For Nagasaki Suyo, it seemed as if her life was arranged. When she was in elementary school, her father suddenly passed away, and her mother refused to tell her where he went.

As a result, the news of the divorce spread throughout the school. Su Shi, who was still in elementary school, could only watch her friends leave her because of these rumors and kneel on the ground crying.

"No need for Sushi anymore."
