Can Lixi look at me alone?

She had studied acting, so she could get into character more quickly and help Yuzuki.

"Yuzuki, is there anything you want to say to me?"

Seeing the adorable, timid girl who was crossing her arms and trying to imitate Riki-chan's usual behavior, Yuzuki suppressed a smile and hugged her.

"I'm so sorry, Xiaomu is just too cute..."

Mu, puffing out his cheeks, nuzzled against her softness.

I feel like... Yuzuki really needs to eat properly.

It's all Lixi's fault... It's all Lixi's fault.

Having given up on using Mutsuki as a practice subject, Yuzuki put the leftover tomato and beef soup from yesterday back into the pot to simmer again, adding some rice grains to make a porridge-like dish. She then poured a bowl for Mutsuki, who was still hungry, and for herself, who was a little hungry.

This is a very convenient way to eat, requiring almost no chewing. You just need to feel the warm, sweet and sour broth carrying each grain of rice into your body.

Yuzuki likes this way of eating.

Because it feels warm...

Mu also likes this way of eating because…

She stole a glance at the smile on the girl's face beside her.

Because I was very happy.

However, this way of eating also has the side effect of saving time... at least for Mu, saving time is a side effect.

She quickly finished her lunch, and Yuzuki also finished her mealtime.

After cleaning the kitchen for her, the housekeeper called and asked her to go home.

Although she wanted to stay with Yuzuki a little longer, the butler had already asked her to go back…

Noticing her hesitation, Yuzuki stuffed the remaining jar of konpeito into her pocket.

"Xiao Mu, please remember to say hello to the butler for me."

Although she didn't quite understand why Mutsuki suddenly looked frightened, Yuzuki couldn't care less about that now.

Goodbye, Xiao Mu~

Hmm... Now, it's our turn, right? Riki-chan.

Yuzuki picked up her phone, which was still switched off, and adjusted her clothes in front of the mirror one last time.

"Actually, I think you don't need to be in such a hurry."

The girl in the mirror changed her attitude and begged her not to go, pleading with her to go another day.

But this attitude only fueled Yuzuki's vanity.

"It's okay, there's no need to be jealous of my success. I'll teach you after I get together with Riki-chan, don't worry~"

Yuzuki shook her head vigorously in the mirror.

"Really, that's not how it is, please don't..."

snort…

Yuzuki hung the panda pendant on her keychain.

"Envious? I'm not giving it to you."

Under the complex gaze of the girl reflected in the mirror, Yuzuki put away her keys. After placing her phone down, she unlocked the door.

"Everyone, please wish me success!"

……

The drummers, who had just woken up from their nap at noon, checked their phones and breathed a sigh of relief when they found that Yuzuki hadn't confessed directly on the phone.

"Luckily, Yuzuki didn't say it here... otherwise she would have had to respond."

She thought about it for a long time yesterday, until very late.

She didn't dislike Yuzuki, but...

Her feelings for Yuzuki weren't quite at that level yet, and besides... everyone in the band liked Yuzuki.

Everyone is... better than her.

The black-haired girls who got up to wash and brush their teeth thought of their companions one by one.

Xiangzi was better at taking care of people than her, and he was also more talented.

Mutsuki is also... better at taking care of Yuzuki than she is.

The lamp is so much cuter than me, and she's also liked by Yuzuki...

Su Shi is much gentler than herself and would never hurt Jie Yue.

Only myself... I have no redeeming qualities.

He was overshadowed by everyone else in every aspect.

There's absolutely no reason for Yuzuki to like me...

She combed her messy long hair and sat back down in the chair.

"Why did Xiangzi suddenly stop coming to practice...? And... Deng asked me to go to the planetarium?!"

"Does Xiaolixi have time today? If not... or if you have other important things to do, I'll come find everyone to go to the planetarium tomorrow."

Looking at the lamp's invitation, Lixi thought of Jieyue's news from yesterday.

According to the principle of first come, first served, she should refuse to turn off the light.

But... she hasn't figured out how to face Yuzuki yet.

So, I guess I'd refuse Yuzuki even if we went to the coffee shop... That would hurt Yuzuki... So...?

"Okay, I understand. Shall we meet at the planetarium tonight?"

Lixi made her choice.

Since going there would cause Yuzuki to get hurt, wouldn't it be better not to go... to give Yuzuki and myself a few days to calmly think things through?

"I'm sorry... Yuzuki, please give me some more time. I still need time to deal with this feeling."

She typed these words in the chat box, but deleted them all the next second.

Because… she sensed it, a reluctance to part.

She couldn't bear to lose Yuzuki like this, couldn't bear to lose the girl who always slept beside her at school, couldn't bear to lose the girl who walked home with her after school.

Therefore, she gave up on telling Yuzuki that she refused.

"it does not matter."

She comforted herself.

"Yuzue won't mind, anyway... I've already made Yuzue wait many times."

So this time, Yuzuki should be the same as always and won't mind.

Wait until tomorrow, after Yuzuki has calmed down.

You'll understand eventually, since everyone here is a 15-year-old middle school student, and it's a bit too early to talk about this kind of thing now.

Yes, Yuzuki will calm down.

as usual.

Love you guys

"welcome."

The girl who entered the café chose a spot with a view of the entire street through the window. She wanted to experience the happiness of watching her lover slowly enter the café and confess his love to her.

Li Xi-chan will definitely come...

She believed that Riki-chan, who already knew her own feelings, would come here.

Even if she is rejected, Riki-chan will definitely come here.

Therefore, she will definitely see Lixi here.

So there's still a chance... to be happy with Lixi for the rest of my life.

Feeling warm and comfortable all over, Yuzuki rested her chin on her hand and looked at the menu, ordering the dessert that Riki-chan liked from the waitress.

Haha... She doesn't even know what Lixi likes to eat yet.

So what do you want to order?

It's impossible for Riki-chan to be completely without dietary preferences, but... I just won't tell her. Not at all...

“Matcha parfait.”

A white-haired girl appeared out of nowhere and sat down next to Yuzuki, tapping the matcha parfait on the menu several times.

Sighing, Yuzuki hadn't expected to run into Rakuna here, but since they'd already met...

"Please give me two matcha parfaits first."

Looking at Le Nai's adorable heterochromatic eyes, she reached out and gently rubbed Le Nai's soft little head.

Rakuna, who was bribed by either Matcha Parfait or Yuzuki herself, did not resist at all, swallowing the parfait while having her head rubbed.

Still unable to remember her name, Yuzuki wanted to get rid of her quickly to avoid her causing trouble when Riki-chan arrived.

"Is this enough?"

The girl, her cheeks stuffed full, gave a muffled answer.

"enough."

But that seems like a bit too much. My stomach might feel uncomfortable if I eat it all, right? After all, you can't eat parfaits as a meal, can you?

Yuzuki sighed and continued searching for that figure on the sunlit streets.

After finishing her first parfait, Lena patted her little belly.

I want a second serving.

After tilting her head and noticing that Yuzuki wasn't paying attention to what she was doing, she started secretly eating spoonfuls of cream.

Upon hearing the sound of the glass being tapped, Yuzuki turned to look at Rakuna, who was pretending to be obedient and looking to the side, with her hands hidden under the table and her cheeks slightly moving as she chewed.

…This child is really something.

The pink-haired girl picked up a tissue from the table and wiped the corner of her mouth.

"It's okay, they're all yours. Two servings, enjoy them."

Now that you've finished eating, let's go.

Some dull, clear blue eyes shifted from outside the window to the cat. The girl outside the window, who didn't want to look at her phone, could only watch her to pass the time.

Maybe I arrived too early; I came in the afternoon. Riki-chan isn't coming until the evening… so it's my fault.

Yuzuki patted her chest, only to be caught off guard when Renai stuffed a mouthful of cream into her mouth.

The girl, startled by the cold food, covered her mouth and coughed.

Just as it began to chew, the cat, realizing it had done something wrong, widened its eyes and begged for forgiveness with a sweet smile.

Feeling angry, Yuzuki could only helplessly cover her forehead and forgive her, but she rubbed her head even harder with her hands.

"If you're finished eating, go home first. These desserts can't be eaten as a meal."

After seeing her empty two glasses, Yuzuki wanted to get rid of her as soon as possible. However, Koruna threw her a question that she couldn't ignore.

"Where is Yuzuki's home?"
