Can Lixi look at me alone?

After a moment of distraction, Jieyue tried sending a message to Xiaoxiang, asking her to give her Chuhua's contact information.

After all, this matter has nothing to do with her, unless she is afraid that Yuzuki will use some super high technology to find her location simply by replying to Yuzuki's cell phone signal.

Otherwise, Xiao Xiang would definitely have told me.

As luck would have it, Xiangzi and Chuhua's conversation was unintentionally steered towards Jieyue.

It seems that because of her guilt towards Yuzuki, Shoko inadvertently set a bad precedent.

"Xiaoxiang means that Yuzuki likes Shiina, who is the drummer, right?"

As Chu Hua listened to Xiangzi recount the stories that happened in Crychic in the past, she realized that Xiangzi really wanted to find someone to confide all the things that were weighing on her mind. So she immediately started acting as a professional confidante.

"Well... but, for some reason, Lixi suddenly confessed her feelings to the lead singer, with whom she had never had much interaction."

Chu Hua, who had far more experience in dealing with people than Xiangzi, raised an eyebrow.

"I see. Then... Yuzuki will be very sad, won't she?"

Why does Xiao Xiang feel like he owes her something?

The sunlight shone on Chu Hua's golden hair, making her appear more sacred in her friend's eyes as she accompanied him.

"She was heartbroken, but I asked her... to help me keep Crychic alive..."

Xiangzi sighed.

It would feel much better to say everything. Besides, Chu Hua doesn't know any of them except for Jie Yue, so she's someone she can trust.

"I see... But actually, you can't really blame Xiao Xiang for these things."

Chu Hua spoke up to exonerate her from the blame.

"After all, Xiaoxiang said it himself, Yuzuki could have told Shiina about these things from the beginning. It's Yuzuki's fault for not thinking things through, not Xiaoxiang's fault."

Xiangzi was stunned for a moment.

"But I knew perfectly well... that Yuzuki liked Ritsuki, yet I still made her..."

Chu Hua interrupted Xiangzi's speech on one of the rare occasions.

“Yue should know more about this than Xiaoxiang does… right? Xiaoxiang gave Yue some room to refuse, and it was Yue who didn’t refuse… that’s why Xiaoxiang is at ease about this.”

Chu Hua smiled as she spoke about the issues she was considering only from Xiao Xiang's perspective.

Xiangzi fell silent, and Chuhua also quieted down, waiting for her to think for herself.

Perhaps it's not entirely Yuzuki's fault regarding matters of the heart, but... it was clearly Yuzuki's own choice to help Sho maintain Crychic. In the end, however, she couldn't accept it herself and kept bothering Sho while crying.

Wouldn't that look terrible?

It's only because Xiaoxiang is very kind that Jieyue has the opportunity to continue like this.

"But Yuzuki, she..."

Chu Hua smiled and tilted her head.

"Since Jieyue is unwilling to honestly explain her illness, she has no right to demand that Xiaoxiang understand her from her perspective, right?"

Mikazuki Hatsuka killed the game.

The atmosphere between Xiangzi and her also relaxed.

"Thank you, Chuhua."

Chu Hua is absolutely right. It's because Yuzuki has repeatedly refused to express her feelings that things have turned out this way. There's no need for Toyokawa Shoko to continue avoiding her under these circumstances.

This is all Jieyue's fault.

She stared blankly at the message on her phone for a moment.

The subconscious mind does not lie.

She was still afraid when she saw Yuzuki.

"Xiao Xiang, could you give me Chu Hua's contact information? Or could you get me an autograph? My friend really wants one of her autographs."

Please.

There was no threatening language, no offensive words.

But Xiangzi felt scared after seeing it.

Chu Hua, who had secretly glanced at her phone screen, remembered the pink-haired girl who had been holding Yuzuki's hand earlier, and realized that Yuzuki had already moved on from the shadow left by Shiina...

Somewhat dissatisfied, I mentally rejected Jieyue's signature request.

You've moved on from your past, yet you're leaving Xiao Xiang behind? Xiao Xiang is still thinking of you because of what you did, and you're using him to find me for that new girl you met?

She had doubts before, but now she's basically certain.

Jieyue is a two-faced person who bullies the kind-hearted Xiaoxiang.

She'll get rid of this bastard sooner or later.

"No, please don't disturb Chuhua."

Seeing the rejection on the screen, Yuzuki licked her lips indifferently.

It's okay, if it doesn't work, it doesn't work.

If Xiaoqian had wanted to, she could have found Chuhua herself little by little, right? We've finally got to ask you, Xiaoxiang.

This is how you reject me...

I'm going to get my revenge, you know?

Shoko Toyokawa.

Chu Hua's comforting words had a very noticeable effect; at least Xiangzi was no longer afraid of Jieyue.

At least that's what she thinks.

"The reason this happened between us is essentially because Yuzuki doesn't want to express her true feelings, right? Since you've made this decision, don't regret the consequences later!"

"Otherwise, it would be too unsightly for them to keep coming to me like this, crying and begging!"

Fortunately, Yuzuki didn't know what the two of them had been talking about today, otherwise someone might have been left homeless.

"July".

Someone knocked on the door, and judging from the voice, it was her little sister, Yuzuki, who opened the door.

"I like the gentle Yuzuki."

While eating the prepared soba noodles, Rakuna told Yuzuki that she liked them.

Not taking the child's feelings to heart, Yuzuki casually patted her soft little head.

To be honest, she's not happy right now.

Very unhappy.

Xiao Xiang's rejection made her clench her fists.

She didn't understand why Xiangzi would reject her...

It's just signing my name, something so simple, right? Why won't Xiaoxiang even help me with something like this?

Has Xiao Xiang gotten angry because we haven't caught you these past few days?

Jieyue made up her mind to message Hailing and ask if she wanted to sleep together tonight.

I'm going to catch Octopus Xiao Xiangzi again tonight.

Love you guys

Please give me some votes!

Volume 1 Crychic! : Chapter 119 Utilizing

"Hey, if you're staying overnight... it just so happens that tomorrow is a day off. I'll bring some toiletries to your place tonight."

Soon, Hailing will be incredibly grateful for the decision she made today, perhaps... to the point of being grateful for the rest of her life.

You've said too much.

After holding the well-fed Lena in her arms and petting her for a while, Yuzuki heard an insatiable request.

Matcha Parfait~

I ate a lot yesterday, and I'm going to eat again today.

Lena proudly

He nuzzled Yuzuki's cheek, waiting for her to take him to the coffee shop.

Yuzuki, who was staring blankly out the window, was kissed by a disgruntled Rakuna before she came to her senses. She apologized and went back to her bedroom to change her clothes.

Unable to decide which dress to wear, Yuzuki randomly picked one. After changing, she put her keys in her pocket and suddenly felt an itch in her palm.

Upon closer inspection, he discovered that what was wrapped around his hand was a blackish-purple hair.

Not wanting to face that person, Yuzuki placed the strand of hair on her desk, then quickly left the bedroom and dragged Rakuna, who had been waiting for her for a while, to a coffee shop for a bite to eat.

Hmm...maybe I can try making smoked salmon tonight? If Chizuru likes it, Hailin and Mu should also like it.

Do you like salmon?

Yuzuki leaned close to Rakuna's ear and gently bit her ear.

The response she received was from Lena's lips.

"Like it~"

If you like it, that's fine.

Yuzuki held her hand tightly.

They began to think about their current friends.

Chihaya, Hailing, Mutsu, this little sister, and... that person.

She has more and more friends now; it's no longer just the angel keeping her company.

After finishing her order, Jieyue sat by the window and gently tapped the glass with her index finger.

Yes, it's not just you who's with me anymore; everyone is with me now.

So, what exactly did I do to make you angry? Why... won't you come out to see me?

Yuzuki's call this time also ended in failure. Helplessly, she picked up the parfait that Rana handed her, casually stuffed a few bites into her mouth, and then pretended to be happy...

But Lena saw through her disguise.

"Why isn't Yuzuki happy even after eating the parfait?"

I'm not happy...?

I'm so happy!

Lena puffed out her cheeks, rubbed them against Yuzuki's face for a while, and then patted them.

"Yueyue is unhappy."

I am really happy.

Not wanting to dwell on the topic any longer, the pink-haired girl looked away and personally fed the listless white-haired cat until it finished its parfait.

That's how it should have been; Lena and I should have packed our things and left.

However, a lively-looking waitress came over and interrupted their conversation.

"How do you feel about our matcha parfait? We see you ordering this dessert every day."

Every day?

Yuzuki paused for a moment before realizing she should smile.

With the angel gone, she felt her body becoming somewhat sluggish.

"Mmm! It tastes great, I really like it... If you have time, could you teach me how to make it?"
