Mygo, Takamatsu Touma wants to reverse the future

Book 1: Confusion Together - Chapter 26: What is Social Interaction?

Language is the natural communication tool for humans. It carries an important mission: to help people survive in society and gain stability and a sense of security.

However, just as the moon has its phases, the consequences of using or not using words can be severe. Moreover, even if words are spoken, the outcome may not always be as desired.

Chihaya Aine's feelings deepened even more after meeting Takamatsu Akari and the others.

"In Jingqin's eyes, among the group of us, only you, Tomorin, are her true friends."

"As for me and Riki, we're basically friends of friends, you know that?"

"Strictly speaking, both Riki and I were uninvited guests."

Perhaps for many people, anyone who comes is a guest, and a friend's friend is a friend, but she knew that Nina was definitely not that kind of person.

The girl, who was usually gloomy, was not good at socializing. How could she possibly cater to three people at once?

Although Xiaodeng has grown up, will she realize this? It seems there's still a long way to go.

"So, for Jingqin, she has already done her best from the moment she met us to the moment she hosted us."

This is also why Chihaya Aine took it upon herself to hand the meal money to Iori Jincai first.

She didn't want to make the celery dish any more difficult to prepare.

"Of course, Riki is also wrong."

"Although I know she meant no harm and was just being blunt, the way she said it made it seem as if she had only come here to find Kawaragi-senpai."

"Furthermore, since Lixi came with us, we might also be suspected."

"Perhaps Jingqin thinks we just happened to come and see her."

Listening to Ai-on's reasoned and well-founded explanation, a hint of guilt flashed across Takamatsu's expression.

"Then, I made a mistake. I didn't pay attention to Nina's feelings..."

Thinking about it this way, Nina's emotional changes in front of the tram station earlier make sense.

"Let's find Jingqin and have a good talk with her."

"Yes, I will. I will apologize properly. Nina is a good friend of mine."

Gao Songdeng's eyes were firm, and his pace quickened subtly.

Since that fateful encounter on a rainy night, Kita, she, and Nina have unknowingly formed a community of shared destiny, even though they don't know each other very well and haven't participated in each other's lives.

But Gao Songdeng believes that things will only get better in the future.

"Where did we go? This is Kawasaki, after all, a place we don't know well. We've gotten lost."

The two jogged all the way to a crossroads, but when they looked around, they couldn't find a familiar figure—they had lost them.

"Aine, no, there's no need to run anymore. I think I remember where Nina's house is."

Memories of the dream surfaced, and Takamatsu Tō grasped the key points.

"You're talking about the future, right? Okay! I'll contact Riki right away!"

Chihaya Aine took out her phone and sent a message to Shiina Tatsuki.

Ten minutes later, Shiina Tatsuki arrived late.

"Riki! You're a bit slow! You..."

Chihaya Aine turned around and saw a black-haired girl covered in sweat.

"Oh, I forgot, there are also these fruits and snacks..."

Seeing that Shiina Ritsuki was too tired to speak after the long journey, she gave an awkward laugh and hurried over to help.

"I have to say, he's a true drummer. It's really impressive that he could run all this way carrying so much stuff."

Chihaya Aine remarked with emotion.

Following Takamatsu Akari, the three finally stopped at a...

In front of a small apartment building.

The apartment building has only two floors; the first floor is the access control area, and the second floor is the living area.

"I can't get up there, but has Jingqin returned yet?"

Looking at the large iron gate in front of her, Chihaya Aine spoke helplessly.

If Jing Qinrencai is home but doesn't open the door for them, then they will have to leave empty-handed.

"Should I make a call, Tomorin?"

"Well, let me think about it..."

Gao Songdeng took out his phone and hesitated for a moment, wondering whether he should make the call.

While she was struggling with her decision, a woman holding a baby appeared on the second floor of the rooftop.

"Hello, are you looking for someone?"

A gentle, soft voice came from the second floor, and the group of people couldn't help but look up.

"Yes, hello, I am Jing Qinrencai's friend!"

"I'm here to apologize to her!"

Despite blushing, Takamatsu Akari did not back down.

"Well-preserved celery? Oh, is that the kid who lives in 203?"

"Are you her friends?"

The woman thought for a moment, then turned around and disappeared at the end of the corridor. A short while later, a beeping sound came from the access control on the first floor.

"Come in."

"Thanks you!"

Chihaya Aine bowed quickly.

This kind and beautiful neighbor lady was a great help!

The three of them jogged up the stairs and quickly arrived in front of the woman.

"Is this your child? So cute! He looks just like you."

Chihaya Aine, with her sharp eyes, immediately noticed the child in the woman's arms.

"stare--"

Takamatsu's gaze was immediately drawn to that rosy face, and he couldn't help but slowly move closer.

"The baby is very, very cute."

"Yes, it's just a month old."

The woman looked at the child in her arms with a loving expression.

"Are you friends of that little cabbage? That's wonderful."

“She lives here alone, and to be honest, it’s quite lonely. If she can have friends, she probably won’t be so lonely anymore.”

The woman couldn't help but recall the scene when she first met Jingqin Rencai.

Stumbling and alone, the young girl couldn't even get into her apartment late at night.

If the husband's baseball bat hadn't scared the little girl a bit, they probably could have gotten even closer.

"Yes, we will, but have you seen Nina come back in the last half hour?"

To better express her relationship with Nina, Chihaya Aine changed her address at this moment and stopped using the name "Issori-kun".

"I've been sunbathing here for the past half hour, but I haven't seen Xiao Rencai come back. I only went over because I heard you calling me."

The person smiled and explained the reason.

"I see, thank you very much for the information."

After expressing their gratitude again, the three returned to the outside of the first floor.

"So we're just going to wait here for her to come back, right?"

Shiina Tatsuki looked sullen and asked a question.

"Yes, that's right, Riki, you need to apologize properly."

Chihaya Aine nodded.

"I understand."

Shiina Tatsuki nodded solemnly, without refuting Aine.

She was the one who caused this mess, and she has to take responsibility for her actions. She has to admit her mistake and accept the beating. Meanwhile, Gao Songdeng's eyes were fixed on the end of the road, and he barely missed any passersby.

"No matter when Nina comes back, I will keep waiting."

Determined to apologize, Takamatsu Akari would never allow herself to run away again.

Book 1: Confusion Together: Chapter 27 The Summer of the Watermelon Worm

On the horizon, the sun gradually lost its daytime brilliance and heat, instead radiating a soft and mellow light. The last rays of sunlight were about to fade, and the black starry sky climbed up the clouds.

"Sigh, why did they run off again without a word..."

"Isn't this just leaving Tomorin and the others hanging there..."

Amidst the crowded streets, Jing Qinren walked listlessly, somewhat regretting her actions two hours earlier.

Clearly, I shouldn't be like this, but my emotions always beat my reason, and by the time I calm down, my body has already taken action.

Moreover, Tomorin is not a malicious person... She is different from those malicious humans. In yesterday's dream, she also gained some memories about Takamatsu Akari.

That was the process of Tomorin reuniting with Shiina Ritsuki to form a band. She remembered every detail, and the girl named Shiina Ritsuki was here today too.

“If Tomorin really just wanted to find MMK, he wouldn’t have needed to come all the way to me…”

"I regret it, I regret it, I regret it!"

Frustrated shouts echoed through the road, but no one responded to her anger in the deserted alley. This time, no drunken office workers came knocking, and she no longer had that overhead light that could continue to dance.

"..."

After releasing her emotions, Izayoi finally entered a period of calm. Turning left at the intersection ahead would lead to the street where her apartment was located.

"Tomorin, look! Who's that tiny figure?"

"Doesn't she look like Nina?!"

From afar, Jing Qinren seemed to hear a familiar voice, and there seemed to be three people standing at the entrance of her apartment.

"Ugh—(No way!)"

His suspicions were gradually confirmed as the three figures drew closer, until he was surrounded.

"Are they here to confront me and demand an explanation? Did they come specifically to block my door?"

A little fear rose in Jing Qinrencai's heart.

"Ah, little lamp?"

She tentatively asked a question, and beads of sweat had already begun to form on her forehead.

"sorry!"

"sorry!"

"sorry!"

Takamatsu Akari, Chihaya Aine, and Shiina Tatsuki bowed simultaneously.

"Eh——————"
