Heavy girl? I feel worse than Black Hole Trigger!

But I don’t know why, I always feel that the milk in nascita tastes better.

"……today--"

She blinked and looked at the screen again, which had not yet turned dark.

Sunday. Nascita is open...

She stood up.

Her light gray bangs hung in front of her eyes, causing her to suddenly fall into silent thought.

After a while, she sat back at the table, opened her notebook and picked up her pen.

【Stars twinkling in the night sky】

The girl looked at the line of text and smiled unconsciously.

Even if everyone is not here, there is one person who must be here——

She hugged the notebook tightly and resolutely walked out of the room.

●

"Hey, Zheli."

"Ok?"

Nagasaki Suyo leaned against the counter with a handmade pillow, and with her other hand, she poked Baodō Zeriri's cheek with her index finger.

Zhe Li sat next to her, supporting his cheek with one hand, while the other cheek was being poked by a slender finger like a dough-like toy.

Su Shi looked at his profile and whispered, "Do you know what day next Monday is?"

"Your birthday?"

Su Shi's eyes widened, "Why did you guess it so quickly?"

"Because that's what my troublesome girlfriends always ask."

So Su Shi stretched out his thumb and pulled someone's cheek, "How many girlfriends have you had?"

At first glance, he looked fierce, but the force he used might not be as strong as when he poked his cheek before, so Zhe Li's neck did not move, and he just turned his eyes to glance at the girl beside him.

"One."

"...You are honest." Su Shi pouted and put his hand away.

"Aren't you curious about who it is?"

Su Shi closed her eyes, "Knowing it will only affect my mood anyway."

"That's you."

"!"

Su Shi opened his eyes again.

Zhe Li grinned, seemingly finding her reaction amusing.

So Su Shi twitched her nose at the man, climbed up from the table, looked him in the eyes and said, "I thought you were going to keep me hanging for the rest of my life."

"Does it look like that?"

"Not like it. ...But you haven't admitted it either!" Su Shi said with gritted teeth at the end.

I thought the "we'll talk about it in high school" agreement also included this! It made me so careful about my distance!

Zhe Li still held his cheek, looking at her expression that looked like she had suffered a huge loss, as if the stock price had plummeted, and said with a sigh, "I didn't expect you to care so much about this. Why didn't you just tell me directly?"

The girl snorted, blushing slightly as she turned her head away. "No. That would make me look petty."

“But it’s also very cute.”

"...Shouldn't we deny it first at this time?"

"Because it's really petty."

"You're so long-winded." She turned back and poked the shameless guy with her finger.

I really don't know what's fun.

Zhe Li ignored her and continued looking at the cabinets. He said, "Want to have a birthday party?"

"Party?"

Su Shi used his entire palm to squeeze Zhe Li's cheek, turning him into a blood alien with a crooked mouth.

"A party for two doesn't feel any different from any other party."

Zhe Li grabbed Su Shi's soft little hand and pressed it on the table. He raised an eyebrow at her and said in confusion, "Since it's called a party, of course everyone should be invited. Why did you think it would be just the two of us?"

"Hmm~" the girl murmured, wrinkling her nose.

"We can always get together as a couple, but opportunities to hang out with friends don't come around often." Baodeng Zheli looked up at the ceiling, a nostalgic look on his face. "For example, if I wanted to find my old friends now, I'd probably have to post missing person notices all over the city first."

Su Shi looked at the profile, pursed her lips, and smiled helplessly: "I know what you want to say."

Because I heard her say "I took advantage of everyone", I hope she will invest more emotions in her bandmates - it was clearly her who did the "bad thing", but I want to help her "make up for it" on my own.

Then he deliberately made an expression that said, "What a coincidence, I've had the same experience."

Like the brightest star in the night sky, it seems to be shining on its own, but it is actually guiding the way forward for lost children...

The girl thought about this, and suddenly clapped her hands, looking at the man with a sweet smile.

"Oh right. I haven't used up this week's supply yet."

"This week's portion—"

jingle……

"Excuse me for interrupting you."

The two of them turned their stools at the same time and looked at the small gap in the store door.

A timid, gray-haired girl stood in the sunlight that broke into the quiet world, looking up at them.

Nagasaki Suyo smiled at her and turned to Baodō Zeri again.

"I like you."

she says.

once a week.

Lost Star Chapter 65 Summer Record: Chapter The Girl Weaving the Galaxy

Gao Songdeng looked at the two figures beside the counter from afar through the floor-to-ceiling window.

"Zhe Lihe, Su Shi...?"

She stared at Nagasaki Suyo's profile in a daze.

Deng's impression of Su Shi is nothing more than the gentle smile she always wears. Although Deng can sense that the smile is not as gentle and harmless as it appears, she knows that the care she receives from Su Shi is not fake.

This girl is obviously the same age as them, but she seems like a sister who is several years older, and cares about everyone in every detail.

It's so perfect, as if he is holding a script and playing someone's role.

Occasionally, the light could reveal a teasing smile on her face, or her eyebrows raised in anger, but those expressions were like throwing a stone into a lake, which would create ripples for a moment before returning to its usual tranquility.

But she is completely different now.

Sometimes she laughed, sometimes she got angry, sometimes she frowned, and then she covered her mouth and chuckled... It was both familiar and unfamiliar, a face she had long seen and an expression she had never seen before mixed together, as if she had deliberately hidden these rich emotions, not wanting everyone in CRYCHIC to easily see them -

Just thinking about this, Takamatsu Deng suddenly realized: the thin glass window seemed to have become a tragically thick barrier, separating Nagasaki Suyo and Takamatsu Deng into two different worlds.

Such imagination made her anxious.

"————."

Da. Da. Da-da-da-da.

The footsteps that should have been light made a heavy sound on the smooth road.

The girl hugged her notebook tightly and pushed open the door.

……

"I like you."

Nagasaki Suyo said this lightly and casually, as if she were talking about an ordinary and trivial matter.

Baodeng Zheli nodded seriously and said, "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Su Shi also nodded slightly as a token of his appreciation.

The silence between the two lasted less than a second before Su Shi's chuckle vanished. Zhe Li looked at Su Shi with a helpless smile, while Su Shi raised the corner of his mouth and pouted at him with a look of smugness.

Gao Songdeng stared at the scene in a daze. It was as if the silence had passed from them to her.

Then the man raised his hand and waved at Gao Songdeng who was still standing at the door.

"Hey. Deng, why are you here? Nascita isn't open yet."

The tone was so normal that it seemed as if the previous conversation was just an illusion of Takamatsu Deng.

But it was definitely not an illusion. Su Shi was quietly watching Zhe Li's face, his cheeks gradually turning a pink that he had never seen before, and a smile that even made him look a little silly.

Gao Songdeng lowered his eyes slightly.

"Nothing special. ...I just wanted to go out and relax."

"I see."

Baodeng Zheli raised his eyes and looked at her carefully. Through the peripheral light of the lamp, he noticed her unconcealed gaze, as delicate as a famous doctor's diagnosis by observation. However, the voice that came to his ears had not changed at all, still as lazy as a leisurely man who met his niece on the street and chatted with him:

"If you're feeling down, would you like a cup of our special coffee latte?"

"Eh? Ah... Bitter, it's a bit..."

Although she often follows the trend and says "I just want to be like so-and-so", she actually prefers sweet milk with sugar to coffee.

Latte, not really a fan...

"Don't worry, I know." The store manager simply patted his chest and raised his finger to his forehead to make a "YEAH" sign. "This is 'Takamatsu Lantern Special', it's sure to suit your taste."

Gao Songdeng stared at his smile blankly, "Eh..."

"Oh, when did we get such a special offer?" Su Shi asked with a smile.

Zhe Li turned around and gave Su Shi a thumbs-up, "I just thought of that."

"What about 'Sushi Special'?"

"Special classic with ice, berry whipped cream, mango sauce, milk cap, orange chocolate chips, and tropical pineapple juice."

Su Shi covered her mouth in surprise, "Hey! Isn't this the drink we ordered last time we went to Starbucks?"

"Ah? ...So you weren't just yelling nonsense?"

The Blood Star cheater was sweating profusely.

Without the superpower of photographic memory, how did you remember this spell?

Su Shi wiggled her fingers. "It sounds complicated at first, but it actually tastes surprisingly refreshing and smooth. Would you like to try it next time?"

"You're right. But Starbucks employees should get a raise."

"I thought so too..." Su Shi blinked, turned to face the door, waved to Deng, and smiled slightly: "Xiao Deng, why are you standing there? Come in quickly."

"Oh, oh..." Gao Songdeng quickly turned around and closed the door.

The crisp sound of the hanging bell and the slight click of the door latch closing completely blocked out the noise from the outside world.

——For a moment, Takamatsu Deng was unable to move in this sudden silence.

She stared intently at the small glass window in the door. It was clearly the street scene she had just passed, but the reflection in the glass seemed utterly unreal. As she stared, the smooth asphalt seemed to buckle and deform under the afternoon sun, transforming into scorching lava and surging towards her...

"————."

The girl let go of the doorknob, afraid that the heat would burn her fingers.

"...Little Light?"

This nervous look attracted Su Shi's concern.
