I save a pathological girl with a twisted love story.

Asahi Aoi recalled what Natsugiri had said and done back in the seaside town.

"With myself so lost and dejected, hasn't everything Xia Wuzhao did for me in the past been for nothing?"

The girl tilted her chin up and looked at the night sky. Why was the night sky so dark? She couldn't even see the stars.

However, the bright moonlight stood out exceptionally in the darkness of the night.

"If you fail, you can just get back up."

"If you keep your head down, no one will hear you clearly."

Asahi Aoi thought to herself.

"Grit your teeth and persevere to the end."

"Giving up halfway is failure."

She let out a long breath, turned to Chiho, and said, "Thank you."

Chiho was taken aback, not expecting Asahi Aoi to thank her.

She frowned and blurted out, "Disgusting."

Aoi Asahi said, "What you just said has made me determined. It has made me understand what I should do."

As she said this, she slowly reached out towards the sky.

With its five fingers spread out, it seemed as if it were trying to grasp something.

"Perhaps after staying in Tokyo for too long, I've been corrupted by those things and started to hesitate and be indecisive."

"So, I should be thanking you."

Chiho frowned and said, "I'd rather you didn't understand anything than thank me."

Aoi looked at Chiho and gave a slight smile.

However, Chiho turned her body away from Aoi Asahi.

Her long, scarlet hair hung down her back, and because it was wet with water, the hair clung tightly to her skin like a second cloak.

Only when she was immersed in the hot spring did her hair slowly fall off her skin, swaying gently in the water with the ripples.

At this moment, the maid waited anxiously outside, having already heard Chiho and Aoi arguing.

After passing through the changing room, there is another small room.

Walk forward after leaving this room to reach the hot spring bath.

The maid was in this room. After the arguing in the hot spring subsided, the maid hurriedly went to the hot spring.

"Miss, all the clothes have been changed. The wet clothes are in the washing machine too."

The maid reported the incident and quickly checked Chiho for any injuries.

After a long while, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Chiho said something casually and then told the maid to leave.

The maid bowed her head, said "yes," and then left.

Asahi Aoi and Chiho left together some time later.

While changing clothes, Aoi Asahi wanted to ease the tension with Chiho because of what Chiho had just reminded her of.

"Aren't you going to continue soaking in the hot spring?"

"If I continue soaking in the hot springs, who knows what else you might do? What am I supposed to do if you and Xiawu run away together?"

Chiho's words left Aoi Asahi feeling quite helpless.

She countered with, "If you were to meet Xia Wuzhao, what do you think you should say?"

This time, they actually asked Chiho.

But she said, "I'll say whatever you say."

Asahi looked at Chiho and thought: I don't even know what I'm saying.

Now that they had left, the two girls put on light yukatas before walking out of the changing room.

Xia Wuzhao had just come out of another hot spring, and the group was stunned when they met.

Chiho and Aoi, in particular, were momentarily at a loss.

Seeing Aoi Asahi also stunned, Chiho opened her mouth, as if to say something.

Anything is fine, as long as it breaks this awkward atmosphere.

Good evening, would you like to grab a drink?

Xia Wuzhao casually pointed to the lounge area next door: "I remember there were vending machines there."

Before, the girls were constantly thinking about all sorts of things that might happen in the future.

But now his mind was blank, and he could only nod and reply with a "Mm".

Xia Wuzhao turned around and walked over, and the two girls sat on the bench next to her.

She bought juice and milk again, handed them to the two people, and then sat down on another bench next to them.

The three of them seemed to have genuinely come to drink beverages, as none of them spoke.

Chiho glanced at Aoi Asahi and thought to herself.

"So you didn't know what to do either."

So they all drank their own juice and milk, only glancing at Xia Wuzhao from time to time.

Xia Wuzhao, on the other hand, remained calm and composed, as if nothing had happened during the day.

However, the scratches on her face still indicated that what happened during the day was indeed true.

But so what if it's almost like that?

But both girls thought it was too strange.

Asahi Aoi thought to herself, "Natsugiri, why are you so calm?"

"Do you really think that what happened during the day doesn't matter?"

Looking at Natsugiri Kai across from her, Asahi Aoi ultimately said nothing.

The atmosphere remained silent, lingering in the air.

Finally, it vanished without a trace.

The initial excitement and trepidation vanished as a wisp of smoke, exhaled through the mouth.

After finishing her drink, Xia Wuzhao went back to sleep.

"Shouldn't they be saying something? Shouldn't they be doing something?"

"Wasn't there any angry questioning?"

"Don't you care about anything at all?"

The two thought this to themselves, but the more they thought about it, the sadder they became.

"Even if you get angry, it will prove that you like us and that you pay attention to us."

"But you're so cold."

"—It's as if we're strangers."

As the girls thought this, their hearts ached even more.

Perhaps because I had just soaked in the hot spring, I found the wind outside to be rather chilly.

Aoi stood up and said to Chiho, "I'm going to sleep now, what about you?"

"Me?" Chiho frowned and said, "Of course I'm going to sleep too, what else do you think I'm going to do?"

"I thought you would launch a night raid on Xiawu."

Aoi Asahi stated the answer directly.

Chiho replied, "Do you think I'm stupid? Who knows if this is a trap you're setting?"

"What if I go and it just makes Xia Wu feel disgusted again?"

Her words left Asahi Aoi speechless.

Aoi simply walked towards her room, preparing to rest.

But Chiho called out to her again, "Wait."

"What's wrong?" Aoi Asahi turned to look at Chiho.

"Although we were able to have a normal conversation just now, and we could say things as if we were before," Chiho stared at the jar in her hand, unconsciously turning it.

"But we're not friends anymore. I'm telling you this on purpose."

Asahi looked at her, pursed her lips, and said, "I understand."

"That's all I wanted to say," Chiho said. "You can go back to sleep now."

Aoi took a few steps, then turned back and said, "If we're still friends, I might feel a little embarrassed in the future."

"But now that you've broken off our friendship, I have no more reservations."

Chiho seemed somewhat surprised that Asahi Aoi would say that, but she immediately smiled.

My first smile today; "Do you have very few friends? So few that you're trying to keep me as a friend?"

Aoi Asahi didn't speak, she just looked at Chiho.

Chiho continued, "Of course I know what you're talking about, but these things can no longer bind you, can they?"

"So, I might as well break off our friendship; that way, I'll appear more magnanimous."

Asahi Aoi seemed to be meeting Chiho for the first time, somewhat surprised that Chiho would say such a thing.

Chiho smiled and said, "Are you surprised? Surprised that someone like me would say something so clever."

“Why would I be surprised?” Aoi said. “After all, your grades are better than mine. Isn’t it natural that you’re smarter than me?”

Chiho was taken aback, and she murmured, "Of course, of course."

As if something sore spot had been touched, she stopped talking to Aoi.

In the end, he simply said, "Asahi-kun, go to sleep."

Chapter 201 Torn and Painful, But Finally Making a Decision [4k]

Both Chiho and Asahina suffered from insomnia throughout the night.

They tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep even with their eyes closed.

It wasn't that he was full of energy, but rather that he was suffering from immense mental anguish.

The pain in their hearts made them both keep their eyes open, looking at the moonlight that filled the room.

This also caused their minds to be filled with chaotic and noisy thoughts, making it impossible for them to calm down.

But since the two girls lived together, neither of them could get up to do anything else.

So I had no choice but to close my eyes, pretend nothing had happened, and wait until I fell asleep.

So, although there were two anxious and distressed girls in the room, only the soft sound of their breathing could be heard.

As the night passed, neither of the girls knew how they had fallen asleep.

When they woke up the next day, they realized it was already dawn.

The moonlight outside the window has turned into the brilliant sunshine.

Ying's entire body was covered in sweat, and everything felt sticky.

Aoi glanced at Chiho, who was still lying with her eyes closed, then went to take a bath wearing a yukata.

After taking a shower, I took off my bathrobe, put on other clothes, and then left the room.

She has very few clothes; most of them are school uniforms.

Two sets of Midori High School uniforms and two sets of Seaside High School uniforms.

Besides that, there were only two sets of everyday clothes.
