Toyokawa Shoko doesn't want to become a witch

"I'm going to challenge the Hard difficulty witch again with Lixi."

Nagasaki Motoyo appeared beside Mutsu at some point and spoke softly.

Finished speaking.

Su Shi stopped and looked at Mu beside her, her face bearing the same mask-like smile as always.

Mu lowered her head, looking at the water spraying from the showerhead, and did not give Su Shi any reply.

Su Shi turned her head and looked at the young cucumbers being nourished by clear water together with He Mu.

“After the live show this Saturday, I’ll bring you back, Xiao Mu,” Su Shi said. “Everything is getting better little by little, Xiao Mu. As long as Xiao Xiang nods, Crychic can come back.”

"..."

Su Shi glanced at Mu again, scrutinizing the subtle expressions on his face.

Unfortunately, Mu seemed to be just watering the plants and didn't react to what Su Shi said.

"After school today, I plan to talk to Xiaoxiang again. Xiaomu, do you want to come with me?" Su Shi continued.

This time, she got the expression she wanted.

Mu stopped watering the plants and paused for a moment, as if winding up a mechanism.

“I’m not going,” Mu said.

"I dont go."

Before Su Shi could ask any more questions, Mu repeated himself.

"It was a simple world..."

"What are you doing too?" Su Shi tilted her head.

“Yes…” Mu lowered his head, holding the watering can.

Even in ordinary times, no auspicious signs can be seen.

She left the second half of her sentence unsaid.

Yesterday, Xianghe told herself that she would go directly to the tram stop near CiRCLE after school to wait for her, so she definitely couldn't go with Sushi.

Three Dead Cage ~ Qi Wo 2 IV 8 罒 Because Xiang said he didn't want to see Su Shi.

The Crychic that Su Shi wanted to return to no longer exists, and Xiang even regarded Su Shi's invitation as an insult.

Mu knew all of this.

But she couldn't bear to tell Su Shi the truth.

The only way to refuse her was in this manner, which was closest to that of a coward.

The showerhead sprayed water again, drenching the petals and leaves of the blooming cucumber flowers. Apart from the splashing water, the only sounds were birdsong and the rustling of grass.

pat.

Xiangzi put the indoor shoes into the shoe cabinet, picked up the small leather shoes and placed them on the ground, stepped in, crossed his legs and lifted his heels, and then stomped his feet lightly.

My phone vibrated slightly in my pocket a few times.

She took out her phone and saw that it was a message from Mu.

【睦】：Su Shi went to Yuqiu.

Xiangzi raised his head and looked at the school gate.

Sure enough, the students who came out of the school all glanced in the same direction. Following their gaze, the edge of a Moon Forest school uniform and flaxen hair were faintly visible behind the flower bed at the school gate.

As expected, Xiangzi snorted and replied.

[Xiangzi]: I saw her.

【睦】：(typing)

[Mu]: I'm already in the pine forest.

Xiangzi put his phone back in his pocket and was about to turn around and go back to the classroom to hide for a while.

"I've been practicing hard lately, the Greatsword is still too difficult to use. I've learned all the moves from Monster Hunter, so I can use the Rising Dragon next time I fight the Witch."

A highly distinctive voice came from behind Xiangzi.

"Ai-chan has already tried her best, don't push yourself too hard."

The other voice was so familiar that Xiangzi's heart skipped a beat.

Being attacked from both sides is really a headache.

"Hey, Lantern, let me tell you, I was wondering before why Lixi and Sushi both have their own magic, but I don't, I only have a heavy katana—although it is indeed very beautiful."

Aiyin walked ahead, while Deng followed slowly behind, quietly listening to Aiyin's rambling, occasionally whispering a few words of encouragement or comfort.

Aiyin seemed to enjoy it, her little nose sticking out high.

"After practicing all night (referring to Monster Hunter), I finally realized it!" Aine said, hands on her hips. "My magic is 'Spirit Blade'! Once I fully master Spirit Blade, I might even be able to use Sakura Spirit Blade Slash or Kamui Iai Slash!"

"Go Ai-chan!" the lighthouse whispered in response from behind her.

“Yes!” Ai Yin smiled and gave a thumbs up. “I won’t die so easily, especially since I have Su Shi.”

Then, as if heaven had heard Ai Yin calling Su Shi's name, the two who had walked to the school gate met Su Shi's gaze.

"Su Shi?" Aine stopped in her tracks.

Su Shi seemed somewhat surprised; her pupils contracted slightly before she looked away.

How come they came out first?

Where is Xiao Xiang?

Trouble.

"I happen to have something to do nearby..." Su Shi said vaguely, trying to get rid of the two of them.

"—Were you waiting for us?!" Aine's eyes sparkled. "Let's go to the abandoned park together."

They actually came all the way to the entrance to wait for them, Su Shi-sang loves that~

However, Su Shi had already silently blessed all eighteen generations of her ancestors, with Ai Yin at the center.

Instead of Xiangzi, they were met with someone they didn't want to see. Now that they were being led by the nose, they couldn't make an excuse to leave. Su Shi, her face beaming with happiness, pretended to agree with Ai Yin's words and left with them.

......

......

......

Xiangzi emerged from behind the tree, two leaves stuck to his head.

She brushed the leaves off her head, and under the watchful eyes of her classmates, she carried her bag out of the school, following Su Shi and the others as slowly as possible, maintaining a safe distance.

She wasn't planning on following the light; she just happened to be going to the tram stop anyway, so she had no choice.

"No way, am I going the same way as them?" Xiangzi walked behind reluctantly.

She took out her phone and looked down to send a message.

[Xiangzi]: I might be a little late.

【睦】：Is it because of Su Shi?

Xiangzi almost choked on his breath.

There's no need to say things that everyone already knows.

[Xiangzi]: Hmm.

[Xiangzi]: Anyway, go sit in CiRCLE first and wait for me for a while.

Xiangzi didn't wait for Mu's reply; he simply put his phone in his pocket and followed them at a distance.

"The incense that Su Shi recommended last time was really good."

Aine has always disliked awkward silences and will always be the one to start a conversation, no matter where she goes.

"Any other flavors you would recommend?"

"Does Lavender Love Sound like it?"

"He's become a bit mature, even a bit old-fashioned."

"The citrus flavor?"

"Clean and refreshing, this is good."

"However, I wouldn't recommend this brand if it's citrus scented; another brand of citrus diffuser would be better."

"Is it is it?"

"Ah."

"I heard that some brand released a durian flavor before, has Su Shi tried it?"

"Oh my, so Aine is the kind of person who's interested in weird and unusual styles."

"Haha... I was just asking." Ai Yin changed the subject, turned her head, and suddenly asked, "Do you usually use aromatherapy lamps? I'd like to buy one for you."

The lamp that had been following them closely seemed absent-minded, and when Aine asked it that question, it trembled like a small animal.

"Ai... what did Ai-chan just say?"

Noticing that Tama was distracted and hadn't been listening to what she and Suze were saying, Aine smiled understandingly, shook her head, and asked:

"Well, nothing. Is something on your mind, Light?"

"..." Deng stopped in his tracks. "I feel like someone is watching us."

In that instant, she seemed to see a pair of bright golden eyes, eyes filled with panic, vulnerability, and on the verge of collapse.

Deng knew her intuition was usually accurate; someone really had been watching her.

Xiaoxiang?!

The lamp's eyes widened.

She walked back quickly under the watchful eyes of Ai-yin and Su-shi.

Five meters, ten meters, twenty meters, thirty meters.

She walked a long distance, stopping only when she was almost out of Aine and the others' sight.

The lamp looked around blankly.

The streets were clean, a dessert shop was open for business, a high school girl was buying desserts, a mailbox was placed across from the dessert shop, and cars were passing by. Other than that, there was nothing special. No matter how you looked at it, you couldn't see any trace of Xiao Xiang.

"Light, what's wrong?" Ai Yin called out from afar.

This shouldn't be... I clearly saw Xiao Xiang's eyes just now, but why...?

"I......"

She clutched her sleeves, lowered her head, and stood still.

Maybe I really misread it... My intuition also fails a lot. [When the IX Qi (six) is doubtful? When the mountain is covered in frost.]

No, absolutely not. Xiao Xiang is clearly at school, but Deng has never seen her before, as if Xiao Xiang is a ghost to her.

Both Su Shi and Aine said they had seen it before...

Is Xiao Xiang avoiding me?

But...why?

Why is Xiao Xiang avoiding me, whether at school or now?

The lamp lowered its eyes in dejection, like a child who got lost on the way home from school.

It really is because of me...

On that rainy day, Xiangzi looked at me, probably wanting me to say something, but I didn't say anything. Sometimes, silence is the answer, evasive eyes are the answer, and not taking the initiative is the answer.
