Can Lixi look at me alone?

She hugged Jieyue again and nuzzled her neck affectionately.

"Does Yuzuki like it?"

dislike.

A ripple appeared in his azure eyes, and after noticing Mu's subtle expectation, he changed his mind.

"I like Xiao Mu."

Mu raised his head and leaned closer.

When Xiangzi returned home, he saw a mess, a kitchen that hadn't been cleaned up, Jieyue with her hands covered in bandages, and Mu, who had skipped class to stay home and starve with Jieyue.

After confirming that they were alright, Xiangzi reluctantly went to the kitchen and began to clean up.

"Xiang, move."

"Mu, be quiet."

Dividing line

Love you guys

Give me some votes, meow.

Volume 2, My Go!! Chapter 33 is a sure thing.

"Xiang, move."

"Mu, shut up."

Xiangzi rolled her eyes at Qingmei, only she knew how worried she was about the two of them the moment she smelled blood.

Knowing that she was the reason the floor was in this state, Yuzuki felt a little guilty and stood up to help Shoko clean it up. But Mutsuki kept pressing down on her, preventing her from getting up.

Left with no other choice, they could only watch as Xiao Xiang, looking utterly disheveled, cleaned up the mess by himself.

"Xiao Mu must be tired too."

She softly asked the girl leaning against her if she still had the strength to help Xiao Xiang, but the answer she received was no.

"I am very tired."

Mu licked the corner of his mouth, his golden eyes unconsciously looking at the pink-haired girl's soft pink lips.

The taste of Yuzuki is really sweet.

It's sweeter than chocolate.

She childishly compared the taste of chocolate with that of Yuzuki in her mind.

"Mu, can you lend a hand?"

Exhausted to the point of being unable to straighten up, the little octopus helplessly cried out for help to her childhood friend.

The scraps of cloth, hot water, and diced vegetables on the floor have already been cleaned up.

But that's far from enough; it would probably take Xiangzi over an hour to finish by herself. Besides, she was already in a bad mood today… and had spent the whole afternoon dealing with the lights and that unknown pink-haired guy, so…

"Ah."

Mutsuki left the soft, comfortable embrace, kissing Yuzuki's cheek before reluctantly joining the battle of cleaning the floor.

"Forget about Yuzuki, you should just rest on the sofa..."

Without turning her head, Xiangzi ordered her other childhood friend to rest; the situation had now entered her comfort zone. As long as someone obeyed her orders, she was confident she could handle everything.

The value of having held a leadership position since childhood is evident at this moment.

Lixi, who had also finished school, called out to Hailing, who was about to leave.

This was the time they usually spent together accompanying Yuzuki home, but because someone hadn't come to school today, they had a moment of free time—they both knew that this was a free time for the other without any commitments.

The drummer saw the female support musician who was about to leave stop, turn around and make eye contact with her.

"Is there anything else?"

Hai Ling put one hand on her hip, looking completely indifferent, just like always, as if she wanted to tell Li Xi that Jie Yue wasn't that important to her.

Are you sure you want to stay away from Kiyomizu?

Not good at polite conversation or small talk, Li Xi crossed his arms, maintaining the drummer's momentum, and closed the distance between them.

"Have you thought this through? Once you're away from Jieyue, I promise you, I'll never give you another chance to get close to her and hurt her."

Hai Ling couldn't help but frown.

"What do you mean? Don't you think it's hilarious to hear you say that?"

A simple taunt was enough to noticeably change Hai Ling's attitude. Li Xi was certain that Hai Ling was no longer giving up on her as she seemed.

"It doesn't mean anything special."

The drummer tilted his head, freeing his beauty mark from under his loose black hair.

"I just want to say, if you've really made up your mind, then please don't go near Yuzuki anymore."

Hai Ling nodded.

"Thank you for reminding."

Am I not ready to make up my mind?

Hai Ling turned and left without making a sound, heading towards her residence.

Why? Is Chika really that good? So good that I can't resist her? So good that I can't help but want to get closer to her?

I don't believe she has that kind of attraction.

I'm going to give it a try.

Practice is the sole criterion for testing truth. Unsure whether she could leave Kizuki, Hai-ling decided to conduct a small-scale test.

The drummer, who gave her a warning that was also a plea for her to stay, walked to her doorstep.

The sole of the shoe gave a slight pause, then continued forward toward the small villa not far from the street.

With a slightly embarrassed smile on her face, Yuzuki was preparing drinks for Shoko and Mutsu, although no matter how hard she tried, she could only take out mango juice with different levels of sugar.

After all, this is all she has at home.

Two exhausted girls leaned against each other, not caring at all that their clothes would get dirty.

"Yuzuki! I'm so tired... What are you doing... Never mind, I meant, where's the drink?"

Because of the lack of sugar, Xiangzi, who almost asked a terrible question, belatedly bit his tongue to stop himself from asking a foolish question that would reopen old wounds, and instead asked for a drink in a half-coquettish and half-reproachful manner.

Yuzuki, having handed the two girls two glasses of mango juice loaded with sugar, opened the window to let them cool off, drenched in sweat. However, her gaze met that of a black-haired girl who was hesitating whether to knock on the door.

Lixi immediately noticed something on her finger that was a different color from her skin. After a moment's thought, she guessed it was a band-aid. Thus, she deduced that Lixi had injured herself again and knocked on the door without hesitation.

Unaware that he was about to be treated as a laborer, Riki grabbed the hands of Yuzuki, who came to open the door, and examined them carefully.

The situation is much better now; the injury is not to the wrist or palm, but only to the fingers.

It's stronger than before.

But I won't give you any reward.

Why didn't you call me last night?

She returned Yuzuki's arms and hugged her tightly, her worries and reproaches inevitably pouring out to Yuzuki.

I failed to protect you...

And I actually need to find out about your predicament from a streamer... Don't you trust me that much?

The girl's strength crumbled when she saw herself hurting Yuzuki once again, and Riki, smelling the scent of the girl in her arms, was unwilling to let go.

Having grown accustomed to her body temperature, Yuzuki also gave up struggling. The two embraced, feeling each other's heartbeats gradually return to normal, before separating slightly.

"Because I'm afraid I'll get scolded if I call Riki-chan."

Lixi looked at the pink-haired girl who was sticking out her tongue and acting coquettishly, and couldn't help but clench her fist and gently tap her head.

"I won't get angry with Yuzuki."

She paused for a moment, then finished her promise.

"Unless Yuzuki did something to hurt herself."

She took Jieyue's hand in her hands and gently kissed her fingertips.

"I got it."

Yuzuki affectionately nuzzled her cheek.

That's right, so what if... I hurt the lamp and Su Shi?

Xiao Mu likes me, Li Xi Jiang likes me too... Xiao Xiang likes me too.

As long as people like me more than they like Crychic, then no one will get hurt, right?

Having figured things out, Yuki was led by the hand by Riki to sit down on the sofa, and then she took the initiative to join Xiangzi in cleaning up the dirt on the floor.

At that moment, Aine, who was picking up pebbles with the lamp, carefully looked around and breathed a sigh of relief only after confirming that no one had noticed her actions.

While it's fun to collect stones with Deng, if someone finds out... it'll definitely be hard to explain, right?

“Aine?”

The lamp reached out its hand to her and, with her help, stood up from the ground.

"We collected lots of pretty little stones..."

She filled her pockets and then continued to show Aine around the school.

Although Aine spent most of the time helping her collect stones... it was also a way for her to get familiar with the school!

Ai Yin, with her keen eyes, noticed something: most of the students at this school had one 'characteristic'.

For example, in that school in the UK, everyone spoke English. But at this high school called Haneoka Girls' High School, the unique feature is that roughly four out of five students carry musical instruments.

Bass or guitar?

Aiyin wasn't very good at distinguishing between them.

"Lamp...? Ah, that's a bit of a tongue twister... How about I just call him Little Lamp?"

Without her noticing, she skillfully closed the distance, and Aine's offensive, without the slightest resistance, swept straight into Tsubaki's heart.

Small light...

Yuzuki calls me that too. And Aine has the same hair color as Yuzuki…

Lantern, who was hesitant to speak to her, was always afraid that the pink figure who had brought him help and warmth would run away because of... the wrong thing she said.

If that's the case, then she probably doesn't even know what she's supposed to do.

After all, she had already hurt a kind, pink-loving best friend.

I hate singing.

"Yes, Xiao Ai."

She looked up and gave Aine a lovely smile, exactly the same smile she gave Yuzuki.

Just consider it... practice!

"Why is everyone bringing... musical instruments? Is the school's music club actually very famous?"

The lamp shook its head, giving a negative answer.

"It's Bondo. A lot of people at school play in bands."

band!!

Ai Yin's gray eyes sparkled as she grabbed the lamp's hand and held it in front of her, asking excitedly.

"Is it that...that rock band? Are there really a lot of people playing in bands?"

The lamp nodded vigorously.
