MyGO!!! I am the succubus Xiaoxiang?

How annoying.

"Hey, that's a lot." Suddenly, Xiangzi, who was in front of him, took out a bunch of things and put them on the table, looking at himself with embarrassment.

"Hmm?" Hailing looked over.

"Um, I've prepared some gifts for everyone."

"A farewell gift? Are we saying goodbye?" This was the first thing Chu Hua thought of when she heard Hai Ling talking about it.

"No, it's not that at all. I just think it's to thank everyone for the time we spent together. These gifts aren't a farewell gesture, but rather a way of thanking you for the time we've spent together. I hope you'll continue to guide me in the future, and if there's anything I can do wrong, please give me more opportunities because of these gifts." Xiangzi explained cautiously to Hailing.

I didn't mean anything else.

I just wanted to thank everyone.

"Um, Hailing, if you don't want it, it's okay, I..." Chu Hua nodded, realizing that was the case, then suddenly remembered something and looked at Hailing.

If Hailing doesn't want it, then I'll take it. Well, I fully support Xiangzi, so taking a little more won't hurt.

"Chu Hua, if you can't speak, you don't have to."

Hailing gritted her teeth.

Didn't you see that you stopped talking after that?

Can't we just do what everyone else does, read the mood, and laugh it off?

What an annoying lead singer.

"Didn't you say you didn't want it?"

"...Fine, forget I said anything, Miss Chuhua?"

"Oh... Of course, if you really don't want it, I actually really want it, so you don't have to."

"I want it! I want it so badly, I wish I could take everything and stuff it into my arms right now, I'd rather die than give it to you, Miss Chuhua?"

"No, that's mine."

"...So, could you please stop talking for a moment?"

"Oh." Chu Hua nodded obediently.

"Pfft." Tao Xiang's voice came out.

"It's nothing, I just remembered something happy, right, Xiao Xiang?"

"Don't make me laugh out loud while I'm trying not to! If everyone laughs, won't Hailing be embarrassed? Mmm~~~" Xiangzi said through gritted teeth.

"Laugh, Xiang." Xiao Mu immediately started tickling Xiangzi.

"Mo~~~ Okay, okay, really."

"Here you go!" Xiangzi handed over the MUJICA yarn dolls he had made over the past few nights.

By the way.

He gave his own to Xiao Mu as well.

"Hey, Xiao Mu, if I'm not here, I hope she can tell you that I'm still with you."

Xiangzi handed his doll to Xiaomu and said.

Holding her own doll, she looked at the doll of Xiangzi that she held in her palm.

"Um, Xiao Mu, can I cry with you?!"

Tao Xiang and Hai Ling covered Chu Hua's mouth and pulled her back.

Really are.

Can't you read the room?

Tao Xiang and Hai Ling looked at the idiot Chu Hua.

I wanted it too, but I didn't want it! Are you an idiot? Hai Ling looked at this idiot Chu Hua and sighed.

Really are.

They're all troublesome; only he can help Xiangzi.

Eh.

"No, I won't give it to anyone, Xiang, I won't give it to anyone, it's mine." Xiao Mu hugged the doll, pressed the two dolls together, and looked at the other three as she spoke.

"..." Why is Wakaba Mutsumi's talk so rude!

It was clearly a doll.

Hailing held Chuhua in her arms and looked at Ruoye Mu.

. . . . . .

"Hello? Lixi?"

"By the way, what gifts did you receive for the farewell season?"

"Oh, okay, yes, yes, ah, that's right, that's right, what we're talking about, these gifts are more like farewells, saying we'll have nothing to do with each other from now on, but actually, I don't think that's a good understanding."

"Hmm? It's nothing. I could also say that I've troubled everyone during this time, and I hope we can get along well from now on. If anything goes wrong, please be tolerant of me for the sake of the gift. What do you think?"

"You say I sound like your keyboard warrior? Cough, cough, well, maybe great minds think alike? Cough, well, your keyboard warrior and me, hey, what do you mean it's none of my business... you rascal."

"Ha, you call and then hang up if there's nothing else? What do I need? Ha, do you think I'm really interested in your band?"

"No, oh, yes, something's up."

"Um, I received a gift. Well, it's at the end of the month. Hello? Hello? Lixi? Lixi?"

"..."

. . . . . .

Holding two dolls in her arms.

Wakaba Mutsu looked at the doll.

I absolutely must fall asleep, no matter what happens.

for sure.

We can't let this continue.

I turned off the lights and felt the moonlight streaming in from outside.

Place the doll next to your pillow.

I had just lain down.

That narrow crack, less than two fingers wide and swallowed by the darkness outside the door, immediately caught Xiao Mu's eye.

I lay stiffly on the bed, the thin blanket pulled up to my chin, my hands and feet icy cold. The room was deathly silent, so quiet I could hear the roar of my own blood rushing through my eardrums, like dull drumbeats pounding on my nerves on the verge of collapse. All my senses were forced to be amplified infinitely, locked tightly on that crack in the door.

Is Mori Minami outside?

As soon as the thought crossed his mind, a venomous snake coiled around him instantly.

She could almost "feel" that her mother was standing there in the thick darkness behind the crack in the door. Like a cold stone statue, silent and still, only her sharp, knife-like eyes were greedily and intently scanning her through the narrow gap, not missing a single detail.

Go to sleep, go to sleep, close your eyes.

I beg you.

Stop having trouble sleeping.

No.

Just lying in bed, tossing and turning, Wakaba Mutsu couldn't settle down at all.

There's no way to close my eyes.

Again, I can't sleep.

MUJICA is going to stop again.

Xiangzi, again.

. . . . . .

Why am I always, always?

People who can't sleep well always feel uncomfortable anywhere in the bed when they are distressed, and subconsciously feel uneasy.

The next second, a soft shadow, carrying the scent of grass and sun-dried cotton, gently covered the field of vision.

Xiang's doll was rummaged over and pulled off the bedside table by himself.

It landed right in front of me.

His outstretched hand blocked his eyes, standing in front of the crack in the door.

The thick, suffocating darkness outside the door, the imagined cold gaze of the mother… all the sources of terrifying fear were blocked out.

. . . . . .

"Xiang."

It seems that Wakaba Mutsu heard and felt it.

Xiangzi's response.

"I'm here."

As always, my older sister would stand in front of me.

Ruo Yemu cautiously and tentatively closed her dry, stinging eyes as well.

This time, there was no cold gaze piercing through my eyelids from the crack in the door, as I had imagined. Instead, there was only a gentle darkness enveloped by warm body heat and a reassuring aura.

Goodnight, Xiang.

Looking at the doll, Xiao Mu said in a low voice.

Make sure you get a good night's sleep.

Tomorrow, when you see Xiang, don't fall asleep, otherwise you'll have less time to see him.

A small doll blocked the girl's path.

As always, just like before.

Perhaps we can't do anything, or perhaps we can do everything.

. . . . . .

Mori Minami looked at her daughter, who had been woken up. The daughter opened her eyes, then silently picked up the doll, covered her face with it, and went back to sleep.

. . . . . .

Breakfast.

Ruoye Muku was holding a doll and looking at the other person. The little doll picked up a carrot and gave it to the blue little doll, then showed a smile she had never seen before, and fed herself the carrot with the blue little doll holding it.

However, I had just sat down.

The look on his daughter Ruoye Mutsu's face instantly turned aloof, indifferent, and expressionless.

. . . . . .

After returning home, he hugged the baby with his usual indifference.

But when she's not around, he'll show all sorts of expressions while looking at the doll.

I could still faintly hear it.

"As long as I have... nothing else matters."

Are dolls more reliable than yourself?

. . . . . .

Xiao Mu is holding a doll.

"As long as there is auspiciousness, nothing else matters, and there is nothing to be afraid of."

With the baby around, I won't have trouble sleeping anymore. So, Xiang is amazing; he's helped me a lot. So, don't say anything is impossible; Xiang can do anything.

Time to sleep again.
