Can Lixi look at me alone?

"I wish you happiness."

She was willing to leave him as a loser, yet he couldn't even utter a single word of love at the very last moment...

The drummer, who could barely fall asleep thanks to the scent of Yuzuki's shower gel, yawned softly.

She knew she couldn't go to Yuzuki anymore, because Yuzuki didn't want to see her again. But she just... just wanted to see her, wanted to hear her voice, wanted to hold her hand...

Yuzuki treated her very well, giving her countless opportunities. But she used them all... as stepping stones to overcome her inferiority complex.

crychic…If Yuzuki isn't coming, then there's no need for me to stay here any longer. My presence here will only hurt my other companions, and every time they see me, they'll be reminded of the story of how I drove Yuzuki away.

Lamp, who shared the same idea, also decided not to come for the next practice session.

Su Shi waited for Xiao Xiang and Xiao Jieyue until the practice time ended before realizing that she and everyone had been spacing out for several hours that day.

"I'm so sorry... everyone, please believe me... Xiao Xiang, and Xiao Jieyue, will definitely..."

No one wanted to hear her words of comfort, and everyone left.

Su Shi looked at the lights that had been turned off in the practice room and felt a little nostalgic for how bright and warm the room was when everyone was there.

it's OK.

Xiao Xiang and Xiao Jieyue... as long as one of them can come back, we can continue.

She believed she could bring one of them back.

Unfortunately, blind confidence often doesn't lead to good results.

……

Xiangzi's daily life was relatively simple after he found a job.

Going to work, leaving get off work. Studying, resting.

He relied on a meager salary to maintain his confidence in standing up to his family.

Sometimes, He Mu would chat with Chu Hua.

I chatted with Chuhua casually...it was a harmonious conversation...

"Mu, how's everyone doing lately? Are you all happy?"

After considering everyone's experience in this practice, Mu gave an answer based on his own judgment.

"Nobody's happy."

Why is everyone so unhappy? Is it because I left? No… they probably don't know I'm leaving yet; Yuzuki and Mutsumi are still keeping it a secret for me…

"I'll be there for the next practice session too, to help Yuzuki resolve these issues. From now on, they're no longer my concern; Yuzuki leading them is enough."

End of Month...

After much hesitation, Mu decided not to reveal what happened to Jieyue. He hoped this would ease Xiangzi's burden a little.

"Well, I believe Xiang."

That's great, Xiao Mu is so much better... much better than those guests who can't even understand what I'm saying...

"By the way, how's Yuzuki doing lately? She seemed a bit down the last time I saw her."

With a bit of free time to worry about his wife's upcoming wedding, Xiangzi turned over in his small bed.

To keep her father from starving, she only ate a little bread for dinner tonight. She's still a bit hungry…

Go get some water; it'll make you feel much better.

When she returned to her room, Mu's reply had already arrived.

"Jieyue said she trusts Xiang a lot. She thinks Xiang is very strong and can handle anything."

Suddenly feeling a lump in her throat, the girl put down her phone and tried to compose herself.

She didn't know how to respond.

Yuzuki's words sounded both sarcastic and comforting.

The end of the month...?

She suddenly remembered something: Yuzuki was the childhood playmate that Mutsuki had mentioned.

So... is Yuzuki's family also very large? Could it be that Yuzuki also knows everything Mutsumi knows?

Upon realizing this, Xiangzi quickly grabbed his phone and confirmed with Mu.

“Yuzuki is about the same age as me… but Yuzuki’s parents… don’t care about her much. Yuzuki probably doesn’t know this.”

The words, which seemed to be an attempt to exonerate Yuzuki, calmed Xiangzi's anger considerably.

"It's not closed"

"It's okay, as long as you don't go around telling everyone, it'll be fine."

She tried hard to recall the tears she shed on the day of the wedding.

Is Yuzuki... taking pity on me?

No, that's not right... She kept talking about everyone in the band. She probably doesn't know the specifics of what happened...

Oh well, Mu will help me keep this a secret anyway.

Yuzuki's attitude... is still unclear, but at least so far, Yuzuki has not revealed her conversation with her.

That means Yuzuki is also on her side.

She lay on the bed, relaxing her body.

Standing on her side were her childhood friend, Kazuki Wakaba, her childhood friend, Hatsuka Sanka, and Chika Yuzuki, whom she didn't remember at all but was still her childhood friend.

Aside from them, Xiangzi couldn't find anyone he could completely trust.

How ridiculous!

"Xiangzi...buy me a case of beer..."

Sometimes, even family members are not as reliable as friends.

How is Xiangyue?

Love you guys

Please give me some votes!

Volume 1 Crychic! : Chapter 89 The Box!

Su Shi stared at her phone, reading through the chat history one by one in disbelief.

“Crychic no longer needs to exist. Please stop trying.”

"Only Su Shi and Xiang Zi believe this was a beautiful dream, bringing you only wonderful memories. But for us, this period of time brought us only pain."

"Whether it's Yuzuki, Tō, or Mutsuki, we are all the same. Please don't bother them anymore."

Su Shi couldn't understand the meaning behind what Li Xi was saying.

She didn't understand what all this meant. What did it mean that 'all that was left for them during this time was pain'? Were the smiles that Yuzuki, Akari, Mutsuki, and Riki showed all fake? Did they not exist?

Su Shi did not believe this explanation.

But... she saw Xiaodeng's status yesterday, and Lixi sent her these messages today, which also made his attitude clear.

Should I go find Yuzuki? But…

To be honest, she was a little scared. Not that she was afraid Yuzuki would get angry at her, because... she didn't really trust the gentle Yuzuki to do anything.

??????????????????????????????????????????????? ???????????????????????????????????????????????

What she feared was the answer from Yuzuki, which was the same as what Riki had said.

Xiao Mu hasn't asked yet, let's ask her another time...

Oh, right! Xiao Xiang!

And Xiao Xiang too!

Since I can't bring Xiaodeng and Xiaojieyue back, then let Xiaoxiang do it! Xiaoxiang is so capable, he can definitely manage this…

She just couldn't find Xiao Xiang, but that's okay.

She will find it.

So, before we find Xiao Xiang... let's do as Li Xi said and not bother Xiao Jieyue for now...

Mu stayed by Jieyue's side, feeling somewhat sullen. She disliked the girl who would come to have dinner with Jieyue.

Because she felt that Yuzuki was paying less attention to her than before…

The sullen, now increasingly melancholic, blue-haired girl silently protested Yuzuki's favoritism. Sensing tension, Hailing left Yuzuki's house first.

"See you tomorrow, Yuzuki."

They left in such a hurry...

Jieyue gently twisted her fingers and patted Mutou, who was still sulking.

"Xiao Mu, what's wrong? Is it not tasty...?"

After seeing the enemy leave, Mutsu's mood improved considerably, but he reverted to his sullen state.

"delicious."

It tastes amazing... even better than the food my chef makes at home. She loves the taste.

But... what is Xiang doing now?

Xiang refused to meet her. Was he afraid she would do something, or did he not want her to see something?

She was worried about Xiang, and also about Jieyue.

But Jieyue would bring her home and hold her, while Xiang would not.

Xiang was avoiding her concern.

Warm breath brushed against his ear, and Mutsuki, regaining his senses, looked at Yuzuki pressed against him.

"Xiao Mu? What's making you sad?"

If it were Yuzuki, she would definitely help Sho, right...? Yuzuki is someone Sho would trust, that's for sure.

She opened her lips.

……

Jieyue suppressed her laughter as she saw Xiaomu out the door, then lay down on the ground and began to mock the unlucky Xiangzi.

"Hahahahahaha..."

He laughed until his stomach ached before he finally stood up, panting, and used the sofa for support.

"I never expected Xiao Xiang to be so unlucky! He can't even live in his villa anymore, no wonder he stopped playing in the band!"

No, you can't laugh. You have to hold it in and respect Xiao Xiang.

But I couldn't hold it in...

The pink-haired girl on the sofa relaxed after taking a couple of sips of water.

You deserve it! Xiao Xiang, who's unwilling to take any responsibility whatsoever. Your life must be so painful right now, right? Hiding away, afraid to meet everyone, afraid they'll laugh at you?

What should you do next? You still need to go to school in the Moon Forest, right? How will you face Suze?

No, just thinking about it is hilarious.

I must visit Xiangzi's current residence tomorrow.

We must give Toyokawa Shoko a good laugh.

No, no way! I have to drag Chu Hua into this mockery too…

After realizing she didn't have a way to practice Chuka, Yuzuki took a shower and went to bed.

I'll have a sweet dream tonight.
