Can Lixi look at me alone?

Is it fragile...?

Xiangzi flipped through the band's group photos. Behind the drummer, the keyboardist next to him was smiling very happily.

How many of Yuzuki's tears were genuine? How many were simply misunderstood as tears shed because of illness?

Was it really a good choice for me to entrust everyone at Crychic to Yuzuki?

His golden eyes dimmed slightly. Xiangzi cleared his throat and decided to put Yuzuki's matter aside for now. After all... he couldn't let Chuhua stay with him in his daze.

After buying her ticket at an amusement park, Yuzuki sat on a chair and stared blankly at the map.

These projects all looked interesting, but she didn't want to play any of them.

Whether it's a haunted house, a Ferris wheel, a roller coaster, or anything else...

She found them all interesting, but just... didn't want to play them.

Maybe people buy tickets just to sit in this chair where they won't be exposed to the sun, have a sweet and sour orange ice cream, and watch other people having fun inside.

The cream is all gone.

She started eating the egg roll.

After throwing the wrapper into the trash can, she returned to the chair she had carefully chosen. The angel was sitting there, cradling her head, waiting for her.

"Why does Yuzuki still look so unhappy when she sees me? Smile... Yuzuki looks beautiful when she smiles."

Am I laughing?

The gentle smile that everyone loves most should have become Yuzuki's default expression.

Sure enough, when she used her phone as

Behind the mirror, the curve of her lips remained exactly the same as usual.

"Stop laughing like that, cheer up! I've come to play with you..."

Ok.

Only you will come and play with me.

After putting the map in her pocket, Jieyue ordered another mango ice cream to bring to Xiaomu.

Now... Xiaomu should be out of school by now...

It was already time to start our usual practice.

The pink-haired girl watched her ice cream melt little by little on the sofa in her new home.

Perhaps we should borrow the new Mr. Refrigerator.

Oh, there's no wrapping paper... so it can't be put in the refrigerator.

Mutsu, who was in ballet class, had no idea that Yuzuki had prepared a mango ice cream for her, nor did she know that Yuzuki was watching the ice cream melt little by little.

"...Or is it that no one is with me?"

Love you guys

Please give me some votes!

Volume 1 Crychic! : Chapter 81 The Bustling City

Why... does Xiao Xiang have Chu Hua by his side, but I...

She looked at the spilled cream on the table, but had no interest in cleaning it up.

Xiao Mu will definitely come, she's just busy... Xiao Mu must really want to see her too.

But Xiao Mu had no choice but to do other things first.

Yuzuki knew all this.

She was just... a little jealous.

Jealous of Xiangzi.

Panting, Mu rang the doorbell. She had done her best to finish her class quickly and run over.

While wiping away her sweat and cleaning up the cream on the table, Yuzuki noticed the mess on the floor and tried to help clean up, but Yuzuki pushed the blue-haired girl down onto the sofa.

"Sorry... there was a problem with my timing. I bought this one ahead of time, otherwise Xiaomu could have her ice cream right now..."

Just as Yuzuki was about to throw away the cone, she saw Mutsuki take the still-creamy cone from her hand and begin chewing on the ice cream corpse.

It wasn't very tasty, but Yuzuki bought it for her. So she felt obligated to eat it, because it would make Yuzuki a little happier…

She hugged Mu and nuzzled her gently before going to the kitchen to prepare dinner for Mu.

When she left the kitchen with a bowl of freshly stewed chicken soup, she saw a clean floor and Mu sitting at the dining table doing her homework, having put everything back in its place.

It's okay, now that she has Xiao Mu by her side, she can ignore everything else...

Gently placing the soup bowl on the table, Jieyue took off her apron and watched as Mu put away her homework to wash her hands and prepare for dinner.

Xiao Mu has her own life to live.

Therefore... she couldn't expect Xiao Mu to be by her side every day.

Yuzuki sighed.

It's okay, that's how it should be... Everyone has their own life, so...

She gave the chicken leg to Mu.

All she needs to do is not disturb other people's lives and make everyone dislike her, and everyone should be there for her when she needs them.

"Xiao Mu? Do you think it's delicious?"

She patted the blue-haired girl's head.

"good to eat."

As long as it tastes good...

Jieyue took a sip of soup.

The flavor is a bit bland.

She touched a piece of soft, tender chicken near her mouth, and only when she came to her senses did she realize that Mu was frowning and trying to stuff the piece of meat into her mouth.

She chuckled and chewed until Mu's brows relaxed.

"Jieyue, you need to eat properly."

Yes, I will eat well.

Xiangzi, who also needed to eat well, placed the bento she bought at the door of her father's closed room. She was indeed very happy chatting with Chuhua... but she was always a little worried about Jieyue.

But it should be okay, everyone at Crychic is very kind... Xiaodeng and Xiaosushi won't make Yuzuki sad because of me.

Yuzuki probably just... can't accept that I'll leave.

She turned on the desk lamp and then took the textbooks from the bookshelf.

Chu Hua invited her to study at Hanasaki River, where the academic atmosphere was more relaxed, since only there could Chu Hua leave school at any time to go to work.

But Xiangzi's destination was not here.

This society is cruel; everyone needs a skill to survive.

Xiangzi's special skills are learning, composing music, and playing the keyboard.

She has no plans to commercialize her music or become a keyboard mercenary for the time being, as the latter two might lead to her being discovered by people she knows…

She didn't want her companions to look at her with pity.

So all she could do was…

To get into a school that offers scholarships, where you can receive a lot of financial aid as long as you have good grades.

Hanegaoka Girls' Academy.

I need to study hard and try to get the highest scholarship possible...

……

The lamp lay on its own bed.

She was always content, content that her parents loved her, content that she met Xiangzi and was pulled into the band, and content that Jieyue's naive lies made her a shining star on stage.

but now…

She didn't know how many times she had made a wish.

"Put the candy in your palm, then say your wish... and eat it~ Yes, that's it~ The stars will hear the little lamp's wish~"

Yuzuki's voice still seemed to echo in her ears, and she recited her wish again and again.

"I hope everyone can make up."

But it wasn't until she finished the whole jar of candy and could taste nothing but bitter sweetness...

The wish was not fulfilled.

They still haven't made up.

No one spoke in the crychic group chat: Lixi, Jieyue, Sushi, Xiaomu, Xiangzi…

No one told her what to do now.

Su Shi said it wasn't her fault... She was still cared about by Jie Yue.

But Yuzuki... didn't say anything to her.

“Shouldn’t you have done this kind of thing with the lamp many times? Shouldn’t you have slept with the lamp many times?! Oh, I know… I know! Because I’m not the lamp, I’m not the lamp! So I can’t do these things, right, right?!”

No…no! I never had anything to do with Riki…!

"But I don't care. I don't care about you, I don't care about the lamp. Let her do whatever she wants. I just want to know, what makes her worthy of your affection? You should clearly like me..."

Monthly Summary…

"I wish you happiness."

No, no… I don’t want this kind of happiness…

"I want Xiaoyue to be happy too!"

she shouted.

Tears and voices broke free of their shackles.

A tearful and emotional appeal would likely yield good results, but unfortunately…

Her target, the girl who treated everyone kindly, was not in front of her.

No one is indispensable to another person.

The lamp knew this.

The world doesn't stop turning just because someone is missing.

Even if it's painful and confusing, you can only wait until the next time you meet to convey your feelings to the other person.

If Yuzuki doesn't want to see her, then she'll keep her distance from Yuzuki.

That way, you won't make mistakes...

……

　Su Shi still couldn't understand what had happened.

Xiangzi didn't reply to her Line at all, and as for Jieyue... she felt it wasn't the right time to ask her questions.

The flaxen-haired girl sat on the bed, pondering the answer to the question.

Xiao Xiang left temporarily because Xiao Mu didn't want to talk about it, but he might come back tomorrow.

Xiao Mu is still here.
