Can Lixi look at me alone?

"We've been friends since we were kids."

From childhood to now...? Was Xiangzi the same?

"What was Yuzuki like before? Was she still this troublesome person now?"

Mu shook his head.

"Yuzuki has always been very gentle and has always taken care of Ritsuki..."

After a brief silence, Lixi turned around in disbelief, grabbed Mu's shoulders, and forced her to look directly at her.

"Huh?! Are you serious? Haven't I been the one taking care of this guy all along?"

Mu turned his head away with a hint of disdain...

"Yuzue will leave you."

Whether it's staying up all night to make lunchboxes or sleeping in class, isn't it all me taking care of her?

Why is it that in Mutsuki's eyes, this troublesome guy is the one taking care of me?! And why... did Yuzuki leave me?

Her fingers accidentally had more

A certain degree of force.

The drummer's strength was quite great, causing Mu to feel a sensation of pain.

The girl, who was frowning, heard the sound of Yuzuki opening the kitchen door.

"Lixi-chan...and Xiaomu? You guys...?"

Not quite understanding how these two people could have such a conflict, Jieyue hurriedly put the plate on the table.

"Ah… sorry."

Li Xi loosened his grip and sincerely apologized to Mu.

Just now... why did it suddenly...?

Is it Mu's attitude? But I know she's always been like this...

As usual, Yuzuki invited her to eat, only this time Mu was with her.

This time, however, Yuzuki gave Mutsuki some food first.

Seeing Mutsuki's somewhat aggrieved expression, and preparing to apologize to her on behalf of Ritsuki, Yuzuki had no idea what her Ritsuki was thinking... or rather.

Yuzuki never thought about what Riki-chan actually needed; she simply believed that giving her the best of herself was enough.

She didn't understand why Riki-chan suddenly became cold, nor why Riki-chan said goodbye after eating only a little, nor why Mu stopped her from chasing after Riki-chan.

"Yuzue, don't go now..."

Mutsu tried hard to express himself clearly, but the pink-haired idiot, whose mind was filled with another person, didn't listen.

After giving her a perfunctory pat on the head, Yuzuki chased after her.

Fortunately, she didn't catch him. Lixi seemed afraid she would chase after him and fled back home…

Mu, who had already cleaned up the dishes and left some dinner for her, was still waiting for her here.

After Yuzuki's loneliness subsided, she took Mutsuki's small hand, and the obedient blue-haired girl hugged her tightly as before.

Yuzuki was taken aback by the unexpected hug.

"Xiao Mu, are you full? Would you like me to make you something else to eat?"

End of Month...

"Yuzuki, take good care of yourself..."

What nonsense...

"Xiao Mu should go back now, it's getting late... and it might be a bit dangerous..."

Mu pointed to the sofa in Jieyue's house.

"Can I...sleep here?"

Love you guys

Please give me some votes!

Volume 1 Crychic! : Chapter 36 Xiao Mu's Big Head

Eh…?

Does Xiaomu want to stay overnight at my place?

Hmm... I don't think anyone would refuse, but would Xiao Mu's family allow it?

They were just childhood playmates and bandmates. Is it really appropriate for Xiao Mu to stay with me?

Just as Yuzuki was about to tell her to go home, she saw Mutsuki's pitiful eyes staring intently at her, and her heart softened.

"Well... Xiao Mu, please call your family and tell them about this first."

She saw the blue-haired girl nod obediently, then take out her phone and start making a call.

Let's not watch it for now. She likes to keep a certain distance from everyone except Riki-chan.

Since Xiaomu won't be with me forever anyway, why be so close to her?

The pink-haired girl, who was going into the bedroom to get a blanket for Mu, discovered an embarrassing problem: all her bedding was for two people.

But the second person was actually Riki-chan, and she didn't really want to leave the blanket that Riki-chan had slept in to anyone else... not even Mutsu.

After putting the blanket back, Jieyue prepared to hear the Mu family's attitude. She eavesdropped for a while but didn't hear anything before realizing that Xiao Mu had already finished her call.

The blue-haired girl sitting obediently on the sofa without any intention of leaving confirms Yuzuki's speculation.

"Xiao Mu, go take a shower first, and you can use my towel later... I'll go get Xiao Mu a set of pajamas, okay?"

Feeling a little reluctant to let Mutsuki wear Riki-chan's pajamas, Yuzuki subconsciously looked to the side, wanting to hear Mutsuki's refusal.

Forget it... I'll just not wear it. Let Xiaomu wear mine...

"Butler, it will be delivered."

Muku explained softly, and opened the door for Yuzuki before she understood what a housekeeper was. She took a set of pajamas and bedding from outside, carrying them with some difficulty, and waited for Yuzuki to tell her where to put them.

Someone actually delivered it...

Yuzuki's eyes widened in surprise as she guided her to spread the items out on the sofa.

"Xiao Mu, go take a shower first, be careful of the slippery road."

She reached out and twirled a strand of pink hair between her fingers; Yuzuki really liked this kind of harmony.

I really like this way of doing things... I really like it.

She had no doubt that if it were Xiao Xiang standing there, he would shamelessly barge into her bedroom and demand to sleep in the same bed with her.

She had even prepared what to say for the other party.

"Little Yuzuki~ Let me sleep here for the night! We're all girls anyway, it's okay~"

She couldn't help but shiver, and after closing the wardrobe door, she went into the kitchen. She checked the remaining konpeito (Japanese sugar candy) to see its quality, intending to put it in a jar as a snack for Ritsuki-chan and Koden.

Xiao Su Shi should eat some of this too; Xiao Mu might not like the taste…

After taking a shower, Xiao Mu didn't dry her hair. She rubbed her wet long hair a couple of times and then searched for Jie Yue's figure in the room.

"I wonder if Xiaomu likes this flavor..."

His ear twitched.

it's here.

Yuzuki felt something wet pressed against her back.

"Has Xiaomu finished her bath? Come and try this, how does it taste..."

Mu, who was about to get her utensils, looked at the spoon near her mouth, stretched out halfway, and then put her arm back at her side. She obediently opened her mouth, took the candy in her mouth, chewed, and swallowed.

Sweet…

It seemed to reach straight to her heart with its sweetness.

A soft voice answered the pink-haired girl in front of her.

"like very much."

It seems... everyone likes to eat sweets.

After drying her long hair, Yuzuki said goodnight to her.

The moment the living room lights were turned off, darkness engulfed the living room.

Mu clearly understood that this was because the thick curtains blocked out the starlight and moonlight.

It's just...too dark.

It was so dark that she couldn't see her own hand in front of her face, so dark that she couldn't tell whether her eyes were open or closed.

I'm a little scared...

Mu reached for her phone, hoping to use its light to dispel some of her fear.

No matter how she adjusted the brightness of her phone, she couldn't make it function as a bedside lamp.

"call…"

It's time to sleep now...

Mu turned over, trying hard to fall asleep.

Accustomed to resting in dim light, Yuzuki opened her eyes.

What time is it...?

Was she awake? Or was she woken up by a noise? Or did she wake up because of some random thing?

It doesn't matter.

The dimly lit room allowed her to treat her sleep the same way, and since she couldn't distinguish between day and night, she didn't need to distinguish between whether she was asleep or not.

I glanced at the time and realized it was only past midnight, so I planned to go back to sleep, but I wasn't sleepy at all... or rather...

Her body was unusually clear.

The thought that she had something important to do kept her awake at night, but she couldn't think of anything to do...

He opened the door and surveyed his shelter.

Who is that person playing on their phone on the sofa?

……

After a brief moment of stunned silence, she remembered the blue-haired girl who had stayed overnight the day before.

Playing on your phone in the early hours of the morning...? That's not good.

Yuzuki tiptoed closer to the sofa and patted her on the shoulder as she stared intently at her phone.

Startled, Mu lost his grip on the phone and was caught by Yuzuki just as the glowing screen was about to make intimate contact with the ground.

He patted the still trembling little silly girl with a bit of a laugh, handed her the phone back, and gently stroked her soft, dark hair to comfort her.

"Yatsuki..."

The pink-haired girl, whose hand was being held, hugged Mu after noticing she was still trembling, and felt a little regretful for her prank.

"It's alright now, Mutsuki, don't be scared... Yuzuki is here."

After a while of gentle comforting words, Mu finally stopped trembling.

"What's wrong, Xiao Mu? Why are you still up so late? I'm watching..."
