This resulted in only Wakaba Mutsu remaining among the members of the old C group, as if he had been overlooked by everyone.

It wasn't until Xiao Mu herself found her way to the school gate that everyone remembered.

He quickly ran to his side.

"Xiao Mu! What brings you here?"

"Saki!"

Xiao Mu finally saw the figure she had been longing for, and her eyes lit up for a moment, but she remained expressionless.

"Because Saki-chan hasn't replied to my messages for a week."

Xiao Mu's words made Bai Ye, who was following behind the girl, twitch at the corner of his mouth.

Goodness, so after Su Shi, the one you've been giving the silent treatment to is now Little Cucumber? No wonder you're Teacher Da Xiang.

Upon seeing the girl with light green hair lower her eyes, Teacher Da Xiang seemed to remember something and took out his phone to open Line.

Sure enough, I saw seven unread messages in the chat box with the contact name "Mu".

Hmm... given Xiao Mu's personality, she'll probably send Xiangzi a message every day and then sit and wait all day for it.

This is the seventh day since you last posted, and you finally couldn't resist coming to the school to confront them, right?

Xiangzi, unusually, showed remorse in response.

After all, Xiangzi had just become a maid these past two days and was not used to serving others, so she was clumsy and needed to receive instruction from the maid every day.

In addition, she had to accompany Canary to practice music at home, and after school she was dragged to 'RiNG' by White Night every day, so Xiangzi didn't open Line at all this week.

And so, the girl almost forgot about her other half.

Xiangzi was explaining to Xiaomu while holding her hand, while Baiye was doing the same thing!

Upon seeing the green cucumber girl, Bai Ye seemed to have discovered something interesting, revealing an expression full of interest.

From Baiye's perspective, we can see Xiaoguahuang talking to Xiangzi.

On its shoulder sat an adorable little green doll, gently swaying its short legs as it seemed to be communicating with the cucumber.

"Hey, Mutsu-chan, stop paying attention to that woman Toyokawa Shoko. You've seen it too, haven't you? That woman is just using you as a tool, right?"

Seeing that Xiao Mu seemed to be ignoring him and was still talking to Xiangzi, the little puppet continued to speak.

"Hey~ Mutsumi-chan, are you listening to me?"

"I am listening!"

Bai Ye's sudden interruption startled Mu He and Xiangzi, who were having a conversation.

Xiao Mu raised her head, seemingly unaware of who Bai Ye was. Xiang Zi, on the other hand, looked equally confused, wondering why Bai Ye was interrupting his conversation with his own half.

However, Bai Ye did not seem to explain to the two of them. In fact, judging from Bai Ye's behavior, the person he had just spoken to was not either of the two of them.

Xiao Mu, however, noticed the direction Bai Ye was looking. Although she still had that expressionless face, her eyes widened slightly, as if she was a little surprised.

Because, the person Bai Ye is currently communicating with seems to be...

"Are you talking to me?"

The green doll sitting on Xiao Mu's shoulder also looked surprised.

Yes!

Bai Ye nodded.

"Can you really see me?"

Mortis was even more shocked. This was the first time since her consciousness was born that someone other than "herself" could see her.

Previously, Xiao Mu, the only person who could see her, was expressionless and uninteresting all day long. Now, she finally has a stranger to talk to.

Does that mean Mortis, I can finally make my own friends?

Despite Mortis's previous attempts to dissuade Xiaomu from playing with Xiangzi, Mortis was actually quite envious of Xiaomu for having her own friends to play with.

So now that he's discovered that Bai Ye can see him, Teacher Da Mo immediately started introducing himself with great joy.

"I'm Mortis, and hey~ what's your name?"

"My name is Bai Ye."

"Baiye? That doesn't seem like a name from Japan... But it's okay."

Mortis clapped his puppet's little hands.

"Baiye, can we be friends? Like Mutsu and Toyokawa Shoko?"

"Sure!"

Sensing the innocent thoughts of the girl in front of him, Bai Ye agreed without hesitation.

"really?"

Mortis looked surprised.

"Yes."

Bai Ye confirmed again.

"So we're friends now, right? Let me think about what friends should do..."

"By the way! Bai Ye, do you play in a band? I saw that Xiao Mu and her friends play in a band together every day."

"However... I don't seem to have a body right now, so I can't be with you..."

At this point, the little doll lowered its head, looking disappointed.

Upon seeing this, Bai Ye indeed laughed.

"Motis, do you want to have your own body and your own life, just like Xiao Mu?"

Similarly, Bai Ye was quite generous towards Mortis, whom she liked in the original work.

"this..."

However, Mortis hesitated after hearing about the allure of the White Night.

"But if I come out... then what about Xiao Mu..."

Bai Ye understood that the girl must have misunderstood, so he didn't offer any further explanation.

He stretched out his right hand and actually picked up the small doll from Xiao Mu's shoulder, then placed it on his own shoulder to sit on.

"what!"

The sudden change of position startled Mortis. Then he stared wide-eyed at the doll.

"How did you do that? I actually... can still exist after leaving Xiaomu!"

"secret!"

The word "White Night" was spoken to both Mortis and Little Mu.

Because Xiao Mutou, who was right in front, was just as surprised to see Bai Ye take Mortis, who had been by his side, away.

For once, her expressionless face opened her small mouth slightly, her eyes filled with a questioning look of utter disbelief.

"Bai Bai! What have you been doing, muttering to yourself for so long?!"

At this moment, Aine, who had been observing the situation for a while, finally spoke up and asked a question with doubt.

Because only Bai Ye and Xiao Mu could see Mortis, in their eyes, Bai Ye was talking to thin air like a madman and making some inexplicable movements.

Aine was so frightened that she thought Baiye had gone mad or something.

She stretched out her cool little hand and touched Bai Ye's forehead.

"He doesn't have a fever!"

"I'm fine... Never mind, I'm too lazy to explain to you guys."

Bai Ye reached out and slapped away Ai Yin's small hand. He felt a little speechless, but still chose to temporarily suspend his interaction with Mortis.

I noticed that the other students passing by were also giving me strange looks.

"This isn't the place to talk. Let's go to 'RiNG' and meet up with Su Shi and Li Xi!"

"All right!"

Seeing that Bai Ye seemed to be really alright, Aine was relieved.

The four of them, along with Xiao Mu, went to the practice room where they usually performed.

As soon as Bai Ye pushed open the door to the practice room, he saw Su Shili Xi, who was already waiting inside, and Maomao, who was already playing.

Upon seeing Bai Ye and the others finally arrive, the three people in the room, as usual, took out their musical instruments.

However, when they saw Xiao Mutou, who followed them into the room at the end, both Su Shi and Li Xi showed expressions of surprise.

"Wakaba Mu?"

"Xiao Mu!"

"Soyo?"

Little Cucumber was equally surprised. No wonder Su Shi hadn't been bothering her for Xiao Xiang's contact information these past few days. It turned out she had already contacted Saki?

From this perspective, it seems like I'm the only one left out...

Xiao Mu lowered her head slightly, a hint of disappointment flashing in her eyes.

"Have I been...abandoned?"

Even Mortis has made friends... while I... Saki hasn't contacted me in a long time...

It was obvious that this was because Bai Ye had interrupted him earlier, and Xiangzi himself was a proud person.

This resulted in Toyokawa Shoko not being able to explain to Xiaohuangzi why she wasn't replying to his messages.

Mortis immediately noticed Xiao Mutou's unusual behavior and, sitting on Bai Ye's shoulder, quickly reminded Bai Ye.

"Xiao Mu seems a little sad. Bai Ye, could you pat Xiao Mu's head for me?"

Mortis stretched out his doll-like hands, and realized that he couldn't seem to return to Little Mu's head.

However, Mortis didn't seem panicked at all; in fact, he was quite happy to learn that he could exist alone with the girl.

However, comforting the dejected Xiao Mutou, something that only he could do before, now has to be left to Bai Ye's help.

After hearing the doll girl's reminder, Bai Ye reached out and placed his hand on Wakaba Mutsu's lowered head.

Xiao Mu's hair is very soft, and you can smell a faint cucumber scent when you touch it.

No wonder it's called "Little Cucumber"! Even its shampoo is cucumber-scented.

I felt a sudden warmth on the top of my head.

Xiao Mu looked up and met Bai Ye's gentle gaze. She then saw that Mortis on Bai Ye's shoulder was also making a comforting expression.

"what are you doing?"

The heartwarming scene was abruptly interrupted by Su Shi's unexpected arrival.

Once again, like a mother hen protecting her chicks, she pulled Xiao Mu behind her.

"I didn't expect that after attacking Xiangzi, you would then target Xiao Mu, who knows nothing at all?"

Seeing this, Bai Ye simply rolled his eyes at the girl.

"You've all neglected your friend without even noticing Xiao Mu's disappointment. I stepped in to comfort you, and now you don't appreciate my kindness!"

Xiao Mu was somewhat surprised to hear Bai Ye reveal his true thoughts.

Su Shi, however, looked at Ruo Ye Mu behind her and seemed to suddenly realize that she had been neglecting Mu recently because of Xiang Zi's situation.

She reached out and hugged Xiao Mutou like a mother would.

Even so, let me comfort myself.

While comforting Xiao Mu, Su Shi also pointed in the direction of Bai Ye.

"Xiao Mu, remember this: this man is a bad person. Don't have too much contact with him in the future, understand?"

"You're the bad guy! Bai Ye is a really good person!"

Mortis was still speaking up for Bai Ye on his shoulder.
