Can Lixi look at me alone?

She looked at her companions.

"Let's play a game! The loser has to eat a chocolate!"

Hehe, anyway, she and Riki have already tried it. To be fair, everyone should try it together!

Ai Yin, who was holding the abacus in her face, received a loving look from Su Shi.

Lena picked up a chocolate, sniffed it, and put it back on the plate. Her delicate, doll-like features revealed a clear expression of disgust.

"I don't like it. Aine's taste is so weird."

Deng tried hard to eat one, but Su Shi took the candy and put it back on the plate.

Somewhat frustrated, Aiyin saw two fingers holding a chocolate.

Peel off the candy wrapper and put it in your mouth to chew.

It's just high concentration of alcohol, it'll only be a little spicy... it's okay.

Trying hard to control her facial expressions so as not to show anything unusual that would worry everyone, Yuzuki swallowed the candy in her mouth.

It's nothing special, just like that...

Ok…

What are you all saying? I can't hear you...

Alcohol doesn't just cause a burning sensation.

You idiot, Yoshiyuki.

Lixi gently stroked the head that was resting on her shoulder, staring at Aine with murderous eyes as she handed over her 'sister' to her and sent her home.

"Well... good luck, Riki~"

A little intimidated by that gaze, Aine pulled the lamp and left with Rakuna first.

Su Shi, worried that Li Xi wouldn't be able to take care of people, went to buy towels and similar items.

Feeling nauseous from the lingering taste of alcohol in her mouth, the girl gasped for breath... After realizing that her efforts were in vain, she turned to Lixi for help.

"So spicy... Lixi... sauce..."

Unaware of the name, Riki stuffed the straw into Yuzuki's mouth, but her tongue pushed the straw out.

After trying again, it still didn't work...

"Jieyue, drinking this will make you feel much better."

Feeling better...

"No...it doesn't feel good...I want to feel comfortable..."

This can't go on; we need to get something to drink soon...

Yuzuki hates this smell... It's all Aine's fault.

She felt something licking her cheek...

"Yuzuki...?"

As if she had found something she liked, the pink-haired girl squinted her eyes, wanting to kiss her.

"...Chirp"

The taste was completely different from the chocolate she had eaten earlier; it had a hint of sweetness amidst the spiciness.

Having found a way, Lixi took a sip of the drink and fed it to Jieyue little by little amidst their entanglement.

After feeling the unpleasant spiciness wash away, Yuzuki's body gradually relaxed.

She wrapped her arms around Lixi's neck and rubbed against her, greedily inhaling the scent of her favorite girl.

I felt my cheeks burning after she had stopped causing trouble.

Why has Su Shi been gone for so long...?

Alright, let's take Yuzuki home first... later...

As Li Xi helped Yuzuki leave the restaurant, he noticed the girl trembling in his arms and skillfully took off his coat and draped it over her shoulders.

They bumped into Su Shi, who had just returned, and after saying goodbye, Su Shi took Jie Yue's hand again.

"Didn't I just say... I didn't want my breath to taste like alcohol tonight?"

She whispered a scolding in Jieyue's ear.

"Next time, no matter how much Aine begs, she won't allow Yuzuki to eat this."

She heard Yuzuki's soft reply.

"Um…"

The shadows of the two people gradually lengthened under the streetlights.

"If... Yuzuki discusses this again..."

It's okay if you dislike me.

Yuzuki barely opened her hazy blue eyes and looked at her.

"I just don't want to see... Yuzuki looking upset."

She felt the warm, sweet sensation once again enter her mouth.

"Um…"

Yuzuki relaxed and handed over her weight to the drummer.

The drummers also took the opportunity to recall the time when they sent Wan Jieyue home.

As for what follows, sorry.

Yuzuki doesn't like being watched when she's doing this kind of thing.

Goodbye.

Love you guys

Please give me some votes!

Take a break!

Volume 1 Crychic! : Chapter 75 Astounding Wisdom

She pulled out the syringe and glanced at her bleeding arm. She wanted to put on her clothes and leave to take Xiao Mu home, but she was afraid of getting her clothes dirty.

So she had no choice but to obediently let Mu help her stop the bleeding.

"Yuzuki...do you still want to play in a band?"

Looking at her arm, now cleansed of blood and soft and white again, Yuzuki gently shook her head.

"There's no need... to play in a band anymore. Xiaodeng and... that person, neither of them would be happy if they were around me. It's enough that they're both happy... and Su Shi, although I don't know what her relationship with Xiao Xiang is..."

The pink-haired girl, now dressed, took Mu's wrist.

"But she only came because of Xiao Xiang, right... Now, Xiao Xiang probably won't either..."

Just as she was about to stop talking, Jieyue patted her chest. She almost revealed Xiaoxiang's secret... She was a little afraid that Xiaoxiang would come after her.

Knowing that Qingmei had already spoken to Jieyue, Mu tilted her head.

Why...why doesn't Yuzuki tell me? Is it because she wants to keep Sho's secret...or because she doesn't trust me?

Mu gently touched her wrist.

The two remained silent for a while, until Yuzuki broke the silence.

"Xiao Mu, do you still want to continue playing in the band?"

She saw Mu gently shake her head, but then nod.

"I don't want to play, but I have to go..."

Because Soyo is there too… I wanted to go and keep Soyo company. But Yuzuki needs me…

Is this what it feels like to be needed?

Holding Mutsuki's hand tightly, Yuzuki stopped asking about the matter. After all, judging from Mutsuki's expression... it must be because of Sho, because Sho still wanted to come back, and she hoped that everyone could be together again.

How selfish! He just left when he didn't want to play anymore... leaving everyone else to me.

I'm so annoying.

The blue-haired girl, sensing that her steps were a little unsteady, hailed a taxi, and the two returned to Yuzuki's home at a faster pace.

……

The lamp didn't understand why this was happening.

She thought that she and Xiaojieyue would be best friends for life, or at least for a very long time.

She likes to collect pebbles from the roadside, wash them clean, and then keep them. She likes to eat konpeito (Japanese candy), she likes to look at the stars… she likes so many things…

And Yuzuki would help her clean her palms when she picked up stones, encourage her when she couldn't sing... and even...

She covered her mouth.

The golden stardust candies were stained with Yuzuki's blood. She couldn't accept that she had eaten her companion's flesh and blood like this. But she couldn't vomit anything up and could only dry heave while holding onto the person next to her.

After feeling a bit better, she sat up and met those emotionless purple eyes for a moment.

She remembered; she remembered why things had turned out this way.

She didn't reject Li Xi's advances, nor did she keep her distance from him... she even invited Li Xi to the planetarium that day.

She shouldn't have done that; it's all because she didn't realize it, didn't realize Xiaoyue's feelings for Lixi... If only she had realized it sooner...

She saw Yuzuki with a gentle smile again.

Xiaoyue must be happy right now... No, she can't be... Xiaoyue has never been happy. Xiaoyue has always thought I'm troublesome... even when it comes to making candy... she thinks I'm troublesome...

So... no matter what, as long as I'm still here... Xiaoyue won't be happy.

I feel terrible, my vision is blurring, and my breathing is rapid. But... what should I do?

"I go first."

Lixi…

She reached out to grab her companion, but the movement of lifting the object next to her stopped as Yuzuki roared in despair, and in the end, she could only watch helplessly as her companion left.

Lixi got hurt because of me, right...?

And Xiao Xiang, the reason he doesn't come to practice is probably because he's tired of me... After all, I can't even sing...

If, if I didn't exist, if... then, would everyone be the same as before...?

If only I didn't exist...

What is Little Lamp thinking about?

Su Shi's voice pulled her back to reality, and the warm touch covering her palm made her feel somewhat lost and adrift from her own world.

"..."

With a tissue between her fingers, Su Shi gently wiped away the redness and swelling around Deng's eyes, then took her hand and walked with her down the street.

"Xiao Deng, are you still sad because of what happened between Xiao Yuyue and Xiao Lixi?"

Although it was a question, it was stated in a declarative tone. She had already guessed the answer about the lamp.

"Um…"

Completely unaware of the relationship between the lantern, Riki, and Yuzuki, Su Shi could only act based on her own guesses.

In her view, for Yuzuki, who was usually so gentle, to react so strongly must mean that Ritsuki and Kodama had done something really wrong.

But she knew that their personalities weren't so bad that they would deliberately bully Yuzuki.

This must be a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding between everyone! So all we need to do is find a way to clear things up, and everything will be fine…
