Can Lixi look at me alone?

Ah, you're overthinking it.

"Why, Yuzuki?"

The cat, who still looked very sad, made the pink-haired girl feel a little regretful, so she hugged her tightly to comfort her.

"Sorry, it was my fault. It's okay, I'll make you some buckwheat noodles later, okay? What kind of buckwheat noodles would you like today?"

Her words unconsciously carried a hint of humility as she walked to the kitchen, prepared a slightly sweet cold noodle soup, and then added buckwheat noodles to hot water. Next, she began chopping tomatoes…

Watching her busy figure, Lenai's gaze shifted back to the lemon.

This thing made both her and Yuzuki unhappy.

Therefore, it should be discarded.

Lena threw the lemon into the trash can.

As Yuzuki brought the cold buckwheat noodles out of the kitchen, she called out to her.

"Alright, time to eat..."

Love you guys

Please give me some votes!

Volume 1 Crychic! : Chapter 105 The Cowardly Wimp

Shiina Riki sighed.

She's thinking about Jieyue again.

Since seeing Jieyue from a few meters away yesterday, she has thought about Jieyue hundreds of times in the past twenty-odd hours.

Perhaps she could have adapted to life without Jieyue, but... meeting her again, in this form, was something she couldn't accept.

Yuzuki's smile used to be right beside her, Yuzuki's hand used to reach out and hold hers, and... Yuzuki even took the initiative to kiss her.

But she...

If she tells Yuzuki that she didn't know anything about these things, that she did them unintentionally, and hopes that Yuzuki can forgive her...

Given Yuzuki's personality, she will be forgiven.

Lixi slumped onto the table, feeling a bit short of breath and her vision blurring.

My heart is gradually racing...

Haha, it seems she drank too much coffee to stay awake.

Perfect timing, let's experience... how Yuzuki felt back then.

Although they probably can't go back to their previous relationship after this, at least... she can live a more relaxed life, instead of constantly thinking about Chika Yuzuki like she does now.

Lixi had thought of this method more than once: to blame everything on his own ignorance of Jieyue's feelings and to shift all responsibility to the fact that Jieyue had not made things clear.

That's right, that's exactly it. It's all Yuzuki's fault for not explaining things clearly.

Lixi could hear a voice constantly urging her to do this, to selfishly shirk all responsibility.

If she does this, she will never suffer from insomnia again, never wake up in the middle of the night again, and never need to rely on coffee to stay awake in class again...

There's no need to think about how to apologize to Yuzuki anymore.

The only price was parting ways with Yuzuki.

It is a very good suggestion... from every perspective.

Anyway, you know that Yuzuki can't possibly like you anymore, and your relationship can never go back to what it was before! So why not use her one more time like this?

Didn't you always hurt her like this before?

……

Listen to me, it's impossible for you to...

I know it's impossible.

The black-haired girl, half-asleep, answered herself.

But I just love Yuzuki.

I've always liked her, always...liked her.

Whether it's the disbelief that Yuzuki would like someone like me, or the inability to imagine what Yuzuki's life would be like after she leaves me...

I just love her, and I just can't accept her leaving me.

Call it cowardice or inferiority... I just wanted to see Yuzuki one more time and hold her hand one more time... that's all.

Without uttering a sound, Lixi felt her body going limp, just like Jieyue who had been clinging to her and acting coquettishly before, and she gradually lost consciousness.

When she woke up, the weakness that permeated her body reminded her to rest immediately.

School had just let out, and after taking a couple of sips of water from his water bottle, Lixi felt a bit more refreshed.

After resting for a while, I prepared to go to the coffee shop to continue working.

Perhaps, the moon will come again today.

For some reason, Li Xi felt a chill and wrapped her coat tighter around herself. With a helpless smile, she quickened her pace toward the coffee shop.

I used to be the one to put clothes on Jieyue... I never thought this day would come.

After greeting my colleagues, I went to the counter...

As soon as I stood still, I saw Yuzuki holding Ryuna's hand through the glass.

Next, it was my colleagues' turn.

She slipped into the kitchen, her gaze fixed on Ran.

"Welcome! What would you like to order today?"

After helping the still not-so-happy Ryuna to sit down, Yuzuki ordered directly without a menu so that she could eat her parfait quickly.

"Two matcha parfaits and two glasses of mango juice, thank you very much."

The shop assistants in the afternoons and evenings are mostly female students from the neighborhood who come part-time to earn pocket money. What these young girls like to do most when they get together is…

"Do you think they're sisters? They both look so cute... If we get along well, could we invite them out together?"

Actually, even if you don't have a good relationship with someone... you'll still get invited out to play.

As Lixi listened to their casual conversation, she quickened her pace in her work.

Although Yuzuki would probably give all the parfaits to that little girl, she still wanted to treat these two parfaits seriously.

Perhaps, Yuzuki will take a bite of one of them.

After all, no one can say for sure about these things.

Lixi, whose face practically screamed "I'm so heartbroken for them," naturally became the subject of gossip among her colleagues.

A few people quickly guessed the gist of it in just a few words.

You can tell who she likes from Li Xi's behavior of avoiding the two of them and her attitude towards them.

"So, Shiina probably likes that little girl..."

Lixi's hand trembled slightly as she was cleaning the glass.

“After all, that woman seemed easy to get along with... I’ll try to strike up a conversation with her.”

Yuzuki took out a tissue to wipe the cream off Renai's lips, then handed the empty parfait to the shop assistant who came to collect the glasses.

Are you satisfied with our service?

A perfectly timed, gentle smile appeared on Yuzuki's face, and her somewhat formulaic answer allowed the shop assistant to obtain more information.

"Thank you so much for your and everyone's hard work~ I really like it."

Lixi soon heard a new topic.

"I knew she was a rich girl, her manners are so impeccable... and she always orders such expensive things..."

Is Yuzuki... a young lady?

may be.

No, we can't go out to look. If we go out, Yuzuki might find us…

Listening to her colleagues' conversation, she sighed helplessly and suppressed her urge to peek out.

Yesterday she couldn't control herself because she hadn't seen Yuzuki for so long, but today is different.

She is very strong today.

"I really don't understand why Lixi is avoiding them..."

Yeah, I definitely shouldn't go see it now.

After all, she's currently hiding from Kizuki.

After an unknown amount of time, Lixi, who had been doing something to distract herself, heard the message her companions were passing around.

"They're gone, hurry up and tidy up the desk..."

Yuzuki has left.

She put down the cup that she had wiped countless times.

Didn't I say I wanted to see Yuzuki?

Why are you hiding here like a piece of trash?

Because Yuzuki would be sad if she saw me.

Is it Yuzuki who's sad, or you?

Stop running away from the problem. If you continue like this, you'll end up with nothing!

Yuzuki is there; she may come every day… but she may also never come again.

What if you don't do anything and Yuzuki doesn't come tomorrow?

Since you like her, then don't keep your distance from her like this!

Unfortunately.

Shiina Tatsuki understood these principles.

But she was just a cowardly wimp, a useless person who dared not speak her mind.

Perhaps she will change.

Yuzuki, who had sent Rana away, was unaware of all this; she was off to catch an octopus.

Give me some votes, pytime!

"Huh? This witch is an evil god?"

After being sent to another world by a mud-cart Iaijutsu, Alice possessed the body of a witch and became the new witch.

Unfortunately, this witch has a terrible reputation in the other world. She's the kind of evil goddess that everyone hates and fears, yet can stop a child from crying and make a madman ecstatic!

Volume 1 Crychic! : Chapter 106 Taking Leave and Having Wages Deducted

Just as Jieyue was about to take a taxi to visit Xiangzi, Mu had already arrived at Xiangzi's house ahead of her.

She wanted to knock on the door, but reason told her not to.

Xiang didn't want her to see his current state of life. So she couldn't knock on the door unless she wanted to see Xiang angry.

Mu lowered his hand and turned to walk towards the nearest live music venue. He then arranged to meet Xiang via Line…

Xiang had many questions for her, but she couldn't explain them clearly on Line.

"Mu, let's meet sometime."

Now she has time...

She doesn't need to have a piano lesson today, and the time saved... should have been reserved for Yuzuki.
