Can Lixi look at me alone?

Ignoring the possibility of being punished by the school, Xiangzi forcefully pushed Jieyue out of the half-open school gate, and then, under the shocked gaze of the gatekeeper, turned around to block the light that was about to come face to face with Jieyue.

Caught off guard, the pink-haired girl, who was about to get angry at Xiao Xiang, sat up from the ground and slowly got up while holding onto a nearby telephone pole.

Deng, who was being stopped by Xiangzi, knew she shouldn't cause any more trouble, but she still instinctively wanted to look past Xiangzi and catch a glimpse... just one look at Jieyue's face...

A pair of pink eyes were reflected in her deep blue eyes, and Jieyue understood why Xiaoxiang was in such a hurry to send her away.

So the lamp was here too... So... the little lamp I'm so sorry for, the little lamp I hurt the most, is here too.

Completely at a loss for how to face Akari here, Yuzuki chose to run away. Akari, who was stopped by Shoko, was certain... that was Yuzuki. That was... the Yuzuki she had always wanted to say sorry to.

"Lantern, that's not Yuzuki. You're mistaken... That's my friend..."

The little penguin knelt on the ground, its lifeless eyes fixed on the direction where Yuzuki had left.

"Little Yuzuki...does she hate me to this extent?"

She couldn't hear Xiangzi's concern and returned to her classroom like a walking corpse, sitting in her seat and numbly looking at the textbook.

Although that page was blank, without a single word.

Yuzuki… doesn't even want to hear my apology; she's already disgusted with me to this extent. What should I do…? If Yuzuki doesn't forgive me… then no one will go back to Crychic.

It was my fault that Yuzuki left Crychic...

Crychic is dead, and I am the murderer.

The gray-haired girl, supporting herself against the wall, walked step by step to the bathroom. Then, she vomited up all of her lunch, hugged herself, and curled up in the stall, crying incessantly.

However, her former companions wouldn't blame her. Because they were...

Su Shi smiled and dismissed her friends, then looked out the window at Mu, who was still watering the cucumbers.

As a young lady who doesn't like going out, Su Shi naturally came across that video.

She had only clicked on Miaomeng's video to see what stereotypes people had about young ladies. But she never expected that the young lady... was none other than Yuzuki, the girl she had yelled at yesterday.

Before seeing that video, all she could think about was how to get Yuzuki to apologize to Akari. After all, in her eyes, Yuzuki was an incredibly selfish person who only cared about herself and never about others…

But... why would she be crying outside so late?

Aine might think that Yuzuki's crying was an act, but Motoyo wouldn't think so.

Because she had actually seen Yuzuki break down, and it was almost identical to this.

Did my few words make Jieyue so upset? But... wasn't that a bit too much? No matter what, Su Shi didn't want Jieyue to stay out so late at night, sitting outside crying alone.

In particular, there is a high probability that this is due to the impulsive words I said yesterday.

guilt?

Self-blame?

Guilt?

Or perhaps both.

Su Shi did not know himself

How should I face Yuzuki, especially since... Yuzuki doesn't seem to be as selfish as I thought.

So she was thinking about Xiaodeng and me too? Back in the days at Crychic, Yuzuki was kind to everyone, wasn't she...? It was me, I shouldn't have said that.

Should we apologize now? What a joke... She absolutely cannot give Yuzuki a kind look until Yuzuki apologizes to Xiaodeng and her.

Su Shi walked out of the classroom.

Su Shi walked down the stairs.

Su Shi patted Mu on the shoulder.

Mu stood there blankly and nodded to Su Shi.

"Yuzuki, why is Yuzuki crying?"

She asked her friend.

"Is that even a question? Of course it's because Su Shi's words hurt her! So let's hurry up and comfort her!"

Her friends gave her guidance.

Mu decided to listen to the more socially adept Mortis, and walked towards the gatekeeper in front of Su Shi, then chose to skip class to Su Shi's shocked gaze.

Unable to decide whether she should be jealous of Mutsuki's concern for Yuzuki or happy that Mutsuki valued her request so much, Suze looked towards the cucumber field.

They followed her example and began watering the crops in her place.

Will Minami talk about us?

Mu asked the voice in her heart.

"How could that be? Mom is really looking forward to us getting along well with Jieyue. If Xiaomu doesn't know what to say, I'll take over. Now, let's go find Jieyue!"

Caught skipping class, Rakuna returned to the classroom in a huff and ate the food her classmates offered her. Although she still preferred what Yuzuki made…

After waiting for a long time at the door without seeing the adorable cat, Yuzuki opened the security door and went back home.

Just after taking off her shoes and sitting on the sofa to rest for a while, Yuzuki opened her phone, somewhat hesitant to look at the unread messages on Line.

The understanding Mu, not receiving a reply, promptly called her.

"Moshi Moshi ~ Jueyue, where are you now?"

Although Yuzuki, who never expressed negative emotions to Mutsuki, felt a little strange, she still told Mutsuki that she hadn't gone to school that day.

"It's so cute~"

Mu's sweet and soft voice improved Yuzuki's mood a little. The girl, who had once again forgotten about the lamp, put her shoes and socks back on and left her home.

Mortis, who had already finished preparing at the coffee shop and even ordered her drink, returned her body to Mu.

"Yue is very sad and upset right now! So we need to comfort her properly. Xiao Mu should know what to do, right?"

Mu raised her arm, giving herself a pep talk. Mortis, too, was relieved to have entrusted everything to her.

"I'm waiting for Xiaomu's good news~"

Mu took a sip of mango juice and waved to the pink-haired girl who walked into the coffee shop.

The two sat facing each other in silence; one was in no mood to speak, the other didn't know what to say. Perhaps they should simply let the silence heal the wounds in their hearts…

Mu left her seat and sat down next to Yuzuki. Under her gentle gaze, she slowly took Yuzuki's soft hand in hers.

The two were so close that they could smell each other's hair.

After swallowing a mouthful of sweet mango juice, Yuzuki's mood finally improved.

She affectionately patted Mu's head, then began to look for topics to talk about.

After all, I can't let Xiao Mu keep me company while I'm spacing out, can I?

How has Xiao Mu been lately?

Mu nodded.

"very good…"

Jieyue straightened her collar.

"How are the cucumbers and eggplants that Xiaomu planted doing lately? If they've been harvested, you can come find me!"

Mu nodded.

"They're almost ready to bear fruit, but the cucumbers will take a while longer... and the eggplants will also take a long time to mature."

After nodding, Yuzuki casually asked Mutsuki's classmate.

"How is Su Shi doing lately?"

"Soyo, you've been taking care of the lamp."

……

Aine, who had just finished her entrance exams, breathed a sigh of relief. As far as she knew, she didn't know anyone named Yuzuki at the school.

That little girl is a junior high school student in Hanasakigawa. Riki and Hailin are also students in Hanasakigawa. Yuzuki herself is also in Hanasakigawa, and even Miss Hatsuka is in Hanasakigawa!

So, as long as I stay in Haneoka... I won't have to worry about being exposed to Yuzuki's gaze.

But why is there crying coming from the toilet...?

"Um? Do you need help?"

Love you guys

Please give me some votes!

Volume 2 Mygo!!!! Chapter 31 Mortis

Tears falling to the floor carried sorrow and pain. The lamp, who had lost the ability to think, hid in the cubicle and sobbed, processing the pain she could never escape.

Xiaoyue wouldn't even see you or hear your apology; she would even run away just from hearing your voice...

How dare you still cling to Xiaojieyue?

Stop thinking about apologizing.

I am not worthy to appear before her...

Ai-yin repeatedly knocked on the cubicle door, but all she received in response was increasingly loud crying.

This reaction was somewhat like shooing someone away. Ai-yin, who was already in a hurry to complete the enrollment procedures, thought for a moment and finally lowered her arm from knocking on the door.

After all, this student could always open the door and ask me for help, but she didn't... which should mean that this student doesn't need my help.

"I'm sorry, I hope you can cheer up soon."

After apologizing softly, the pink-haired girl quickly left the restroom, preparing to go to the principal's office to continue processing her enrollment procedures.

Aine hesitated for a moment before turning around, letting her hair flutter briefly in the air. Sunlight shone on the ends of her hair, creating a beautiful glow that flickered in front of the light through the crack in the cubicle door.

Despite falling into the lake called Self-loathing, the body instinctively struggled to swim towards the only straw on the shore.

Aine had only taken two steps when she felt someone hug her from behind. She also felt a slight dampness on her back, as if someone was holding her and crying…

"Huh...? Um, are you alright, classmate?"

Aine's steps toward leaving the bathroom were abruptly halted. She looked uncomfortably at her arms, which were tightly bound around her waist, and tried to calm the girl behind her down.

Seeing two pink-haired girls in one day, Aine no longer cared whether the one she was hugging was Yuzuki. The voice, like that of a small animal about to be abandoned, made Aine's heart tighten.

"Yuzuki... I'm sorry, I'm so sorry..."

Ai Yin, who thought she had misheard, suddenly shuddered.

Yuzuki…?! It must be… someone else named Yuzuki, right?

In an instant, countless possibilities flashed through Aine's mind, and she regretted having just offered her help. She could only pat Aine's head while carefully moving towards the outside.

"Excuse me, I'm not the Jieyue you're talking about. Would you like me to take you to the infirmary?"

The little penguin, unable to listen to anything, clung tightly to the straw that offered its lifeline.

"I'm so sorry, so sorry, so sorry..."

Aine looked helplessly at the lighthouse, who kept apologizing softly, and began to think about how to get her to let go... and, incidentally, to find out more about her.

The yuzuki in my mouth…

"Ah...it's okay? It's alright, nothing...nothing irreparable happened between us...? I forgive you!"

Thinking she was apologizing for troubling her, Aine casually offered a few words of comfort, but when the words "I forgive you" reached Akari's ears...

She has inevitably been drawn into the trouble she wanted to escape.

The little penguin, who hadn't had a proper night's sleep in ages, loosened her arms and heard 'Yuzuki' absolve her of her sins. All her guilt was easily washed away by a single word of forgiveness, and a heavy sense of drowsiness and peace enveloped the little penguin, sending her into a sweet and deep dream.

"Sleeping, asleep?!"

Even Aine had never dealt with a similar situation before. In desperation, she had no choice but to take the lamp to the infirmary to rest for a while, where at least there was a bed.
