Can Lixi look at me alone?

"Jieyue, listen to me. Let's go home first. Lixi might have said on the phone that he has something urgent to attend to. Let's go home first, okay?"

Yuzuki looked at the somewhat haggard-looking girl and reached out to draw a gentle smile on her face in the mirror.

After all, she still had to go see her Riki-chan.

……

Oh, she can't touch Yuzuki on the other side of the mirror.

They were the same person from beginning to end, so... she couldn't leave.

Because the Riki in the mirror is the same person as her Riki-chan. She needs to meet the Riki-chan in the mirror on behalf of the Yuzuki in the mirror.

"Smile, you look better when you smile."

She returned to Hailing's side, and her empty and fragile smile made the black-haired girl lower her eyes with a pang of heartache.

"What's wrong? Did Shiina reject you on Line?"

She handed the phone to Yuzuki and explained softly.

"Let's wait a little longer... Lixi-chan should be here soon. If... she still hasn't come after a while, could Hailing please check what she said to me on Line? Thank you."

Hai Ling nodded after pressing the button and finding that the phone wasn't turned on yet. Anyway, it would be 10 p.m. in a little over half an hour.

This place needs to be closed.

The waitresses were also waiting for them here.

……

Lixi and Deng boarded the tram together.

He offered to walk her part of the way home, citing the need to protect the light.

It’s already late...

She took her phone out of her pocket.

I wonder if Yuzuki said anything else to her?

Do you want to turn it on?

Want to take a look?

I'm still afraid of seeing girls confess their feelings... so I gave up.

It's okay, Yuzuki isn't stupid.

It's so late and I haven't gone yet; I must have gone home long ago.

Yes, Yuzuki... must have gone back a long time ago.

Volume 1 Crychic!!!: Chapter 65 Waiting, the Ending

21:33

Hai Ling patted Jie Yue on the shoulder.

"It's already quite late. Shiina-kun, maybe something urgent came up today. Perhaps Yuzuki should check her phone...right?"

Yuzuki drank the last sip of her hot beverage. The weather was exceptionally clear that night, so much so that the moon, along with several stars, could guide those returning home.

"Goodbye, lamp. Today... I had a great time."

The gray-haired girl stood at the door of the lamp's house to say goodbye, but the pink-haired idiot who could appear at any moment made her words of comfort to the lamp seem particularly insincere.

"Well, little Lixi... goodbye! I'm happy too."

If Xiaoyue is here too... and Xiaoxiang is here too, but it's okay! We can just invite Xiaoyue and Xiaoxiang next time.

After taking a shower, the light returned to her room and wanted to eat a piece of konpeito made by Yuzuki... But after opening the bottle, she was reluctant to eat such a beautiful star.

Then, shall we put them by the bed? That way, I can make a wish every morning when I wake up...

Today's wish...I hope Xiaojieyue will be happy!

The lamp completed the wishing ritual that Yuzuki had taught her and snuggled into the warm blankets.

Ah…! Su Shi said that happy things like going out with friends should be shared!

Fearing that forgetting would make Li Xi unhappy with her, Deng chose a photo of herself and Li Xi and posted it on social media.

Xiao Xiang, who usually liked her posts immediately, was replaced by Mu.

Su Shi must be asleep already... but is Xiao Mu still awake?

What about the end of the month? Are you all busy...?

It's okay... Xiao Xiang and Xiao Jieyue, keep up the good work!

Just as she was about to put down her phone, she suddenly saw an unexpected message.

"The light is amazing."

Xiao Mu...?

Why do I say I'm amazing? Well... Xiao Mu's guitar skills are amazing too.

She typed a reply on the screen, but after a while it still showed as unread.

Xiao Mu is probably asleep too...

Goodnight, everyone.

The girl who wanted to be in a band for life drifted off to sleep.

21:57

"Excuse me, miss."

But we have to close down, so…”

Seeing the somewhat troubled look on Jieyue's face after she took away the glass, Hailing forcefully pulled Jieyue's hand and dragged her out of the coffee shop.

"I'm so sorry, my friend... for causing you trouble."

The girl, whose features were hidden beneath her pink hair, looked through the window at the clock inside the store.

21:59

Li Xi-chan...maybe it's because I said it would be tonight that I'll be coming in the middle of the night.

It's possible, there's a high probability that's the case, right?

After paying, Hailing walked back to Jieyue's side and patted her on the shoulder.

"This place is already closed. Are you planning to wait somewhere else, Yuzuki?"

Oh...right, Hailing is also waiting for someone.

She opened her mouth.

Hmm… how could such a coincidence happen? She… has been troubling Hailing the whole time. Now, does she expect Hailing to stay here and wait with her?

Jieyue couldn't do something like that.

"I'm sorry... Hailing, I've taken up a lot of your time..."

Hai Ling reached out and took her cold hand in hers. She looked around and found a ramen shop open nearby, so she took her there.

"It's okay if it causes any delays. After all, I prefer spending time with Yuzuki..."

She didn't blame Yuzuki for waiting here when she could have just glanced at her phone to find out the result.

Instead, he took her to a corner seat and sat down next to her.

"Yuzuki, should we tell Shiina... that you've changed the location to wait for her?"

That's a... good idea.

Knowing that she pressed the power button out of concern for her, Yuzuki did so, but she... was afraid to see Ritsuki tell her.

I like lamps, and the moon... Please keep your distance from me from now on.

She couldn't accept those words... she couldn't even bear to look at them!

But... we can't let Hailing do this, wasting time with her.

After making up her mind, Jieyue handed the phone to Hailing.

"Then, please ask Hailing to help me... tell Lixi."

Even now, do you still not want to face the fact that your confession was rejected?

Hai Ling found it somewhat amusing and opened her Line...

Then Yuzuki noticed that her fingers had frozen.

"Lixi... is the one pinned to the top. Hailing doesn't need to look for her..."

Thinking that she was stunned because she hadn't recognized which one was Riki, Yuzuki forced a smile and reminded her.

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Hailing's fingers begin to tremble slightly.

"Ah, sorry. I was spacing out just now. Um... Yuzuki. Shall we go back first...?"

Hai Ling looked at the "read" status on Jie Yue's invitation message in disbelief, but there were no further chat records between the two after that.

In other words... after Yuzuki extended the invitation, Shiina neither accepted nor refused.

It wasn't beyond Hai Ling's comprehension that Hai Jieyue had waited here for an afternoon and an evening.

She was stunned because she saw the group photo illuminated by the light.

If Shiina Tatsuki didn't have a twin sister, then...

After seeing Yuzuki's confession ultimatum, he read it but didn't reply, then tricked Yuzuki into waiting for him at a coffee shop for an afternoon and an evening. He then went on a date with the lead singer at the planetarium...

"Yatsuki..."

What did you do that makes Shiina hate you so much?

Taking a deep breath, Hai Ling decided to keep the phone in her own hand and not let Jie Yue see it yet.

This is already going too far no matter what, so Yuzuki... why did you fall in love with her?

"Yes, I'm here. Hailing, you've finished messaging Lixi, right...? Um, sorry."

Unable to hold back her smile any longer, the girl slumped onto the table.

How could she not understand what Hailing's reaction meant?

Lixi rejected me, but it's okay.
