—Asakawa Yo's panic is truly rare.

"Have I become weaker? Have I become ordinary? Am I no different from everyone else?"

This thought made her clench her fists tightly, and even a few beads of sweat trickled down her temples.

However, she didn't understand how she had become so weak, or how she had turned out this way.

So Asakawa Yo forced herself to readjust to this boring and overly repetitive life.

Even if you find it boring, you still want to find something interesting about it.

But even after she went to school, her symptoms did not improve.

Asahi Aoi no longer cares about Asakawa Yo, since Asakawa Yo has always been like this.

Asahi Aoi could only interpret it as Asakawa Yo's quirk; to continue would be asking too much.

So she just greeted the other people.

Good morning, Aoi~~

"Wow, Asahi is going to school with Natsugiri again."

"···"

These students were very enthusiastic; at least their relationship with Asahi Aoi wasn't bad.

Every now and then, the cheerful laughter of young girls could be heard.

Occasionally, some classmates who were close to Asahita would play around with her.

Many who saw it sighed with nostalgia for their youth.

This is what a wonderful school life is like, full of joy and laughter with friends every day.

Being noticed and radiating brilliance.

Asakawa Yo was also secretly watching. Originally, she was not envious at all, and even thought it was foolish.

Because when they get noisy, they look like fools, without any semblance of composure.

However, at this moment, she felt a slight sourness in her heart.

"How could I possibly feel that way? That would be so silly. There's absolutely no way I could be like that."

"I am who I am, I am Asakawa Yo."

She subconsciously straightened her back and slightly raised her head.

However, her hair covered most of her face, making it difficult to see her features.

Many people frowned, finding Asakawa Yo's demeanor far too gloomy.

After finally seeing all her friends off, Asahi Aoi smiled at Natsugiri Kai.

"Having too many friends can indeed be quite troublesome."

"Are they all your friends?"

"Well, some of them are from other grades, and some are from other classes. So it's normal that you don't know Xia Wu."

Asahi Aoi smiled and moved even closer to Natsugiri Kai.

"The weather is nice today, Natsugiri." Aoi glanced around briefly. "But I don't see Chiho."

"She probably arrived at school a long time ago, since she has a car to pick her up and drop her off." Xia Wuzhao said casually. Whether or not she would run into Qianhui on the slope was of no concern to Xia Wuzhao.

It's not something worth worrying about.

Aoi Asahi smiled subtly and began to leisurely enjoy her time going to school with Natsugiri Kai.

The weather today is indeed nice; it's a rare sunny day during the rainy season.

The sun makes you feel warm and cozy.

— Probably because it's the start of summer.

When I arrived at the school gate, I realized that something seemed to have happened.

Some people always turn their heads to look at a corner next to the school gate, where a girl stands with her head down, looking helpless.

"It's Mitsuki."

Xiao Ai reminded Xia Wuzhao, "Lord Xia Wu, are you going to interfere?"

"unnecessary."

Natsugiri Kai answered in this way, and then entered the school with Asahi Aoi.

Aoi Asahi didn't notice this, or rather, her attention was entirely focused on Kai Natsugiri.

When Nami saw Xia Wuzhao, she was delighted and wanted to greet her, but after seeing Xia Wuzhao's expressionless face, she gave up the idea.

He lowered his head slightly, looking somewhat dejected, and stood there motionless, like a statue once more.

Asakawa Yo saw Mizuki and stood there, stunned.

"Mizuki, why is Mizuki here? Did something happen to her?"

This doubt lingered in her mind, leaving Asakawa Yo somewhat at a loss.

But she quickly calmed down and started sending messages to Meiyue from a short distance away.

Mizuki was initially a little confused, but when she saw the news, she was overjoyed.

She looked around and then ran towards Asakawa Yo.

Mizuki smiled happily as she prepared to greet Asakawa Yo.

"Don't greet me! Don't get too close to me."

Asakawa Yo immediately sent such a message, and emphasized the key points.

Mizuki looked around, then at Asakawa Yo's attire and the empty space around her.

She suddenly understood everything.

Asakawa Yo combed her sideburns and walked down the slope.

She felt a little embarrassed and annoyed.

Her face was even slightly flushed.

"Why is she here? How did she suddenly find the school? She saw everything I'm going through!"

Asakawa Yo was somewhat anxious, worried that Mizuki had discovered her true situation.

"Perhaps, Mizuki now realizes that she is not a very outstanding girl, or perhaps she realizes that she has no friends at school."

These are standards that only ordinary people would care about, yet they have made Asakawa Yo, who has always looked down on them, very anxious.

I was even a little nervous.

However, Mizuki didn't say a word.

This made Asakawa Yo feel a little more at ease.

They waited at the crossing for a while, keeping a considerable distance between them, as if they were complete strangers.

Only after the railing was raised did they walk towards the station.

After reaching the back of the station, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Asakawa Yo looked up at Mizuki in front of her: "What's wrong?"

Mizuki hesitated for a moment before finally saying, "Right now, I'm homeless."

"Hmm?" Asakawa Yo looked Mizuki up and down: "Didn't you stay at the restaurant before?"

"Something happened."

Meiyue said in a low voice, "The old man is in the hospital because of his poor health. The restaurant is also preparing to close down and has sold the storefront."

“I can’t find any other work, and I have nowhere to live.”

She spoke in a humble and subservient manner.

In this situation, even Asakawa Yo doesn't know what to do.

An unsettling silence slowly spread, and Mizuki's expectations gradually turned into disappointment.

“Xia Wuzhao said before that if there were any problems that couldn’t be solved, we could come to you.”

"I'm sorry for causing you trouble."

Mizuki pinched a strand of hair between her fingers and said softly, "If there's really no other way, it's not like I can't find a job."

"It's just that the working environment isn't very good."

Hearing Mizuki say that, Asakawa Yo stared at her in astonishment.

How could she not know what kind of job it was? It was nothing more than a shady job like selling alcohol.

Gritting her teeth, Asakawa Yo made up her mind.

How much luggage do you have?

“There’s only one suitcase,” Mizuki said softly.

"Stay at my place."

Asakawa Yo said with a heavy heart, "My mother usually goes to work during the day and only comes back in the evening."

"As long as you hide it well, my mother usually won't find out."

"Furthermore, you can try going out to look for work during the day."

"May I?"

"Thank you so much." Mizuki smiled happily and bowed deeply. "I will definitely not be discovered."

Asakawa Yo didn't answer, but felt a little heavy-hearted.

"I really don't know if this is the right thing to do or the wrong thing to do."

Chapter 429 Layer upon layer, almost suffocating [4k]

While sitting in the car, Asakawa Yo was a little unsure of what to do.

She looked at Mizuki, only to find Mizuki sitting opposite her, equally embarrassed and awkward.

His back was as straight as an oak tree, his head was down, his legs were straight and together, and his fists were clenched tightly.

She was somewhat dazed, and for the first time, she truly felt something.

—A heavy responsibility.

"It's so oppressive, it's suffocating."

She turned her head away, her mind filled with thoughts of what would happen after Mizuki.

"How long will Mizuki be staying at home? Can I really keep this from my mother indefinitely?"

Just thinking about it makes my whole body feel like it's being burned.

An inexplicable feeling of disgust and an instinctive urge to escape arose within me.

"How could I think like that? Her current situation is entirely my fault."

She felt a pang of guilt, but smiled at Meiyue again: "My home is quite nice. The rooms are also quite large, so there should be enough room for you to stay."

Mizuki quickly smiled at Asakawa Yo and then said to her, "It's okay, it's okay."

It sounded slightly panicked.

This made Asakawa Yo somewhat irritated.

"I'm terrible at comforting people."

She turned her head and looked out the window.

In her anxiety, she found the scenery, which had seemed so ordinary before, to be incredibly comforting.

—This kind of scenery, which is sometimes repeated but sometimes different, gives people a wonderful sense of security.

Looking at her reflection in the window, Asakawa Yo blinked.

"This gesture seems to be Xia Wuzhao's favorite. Am I actually doing the same thing as Xia Wuzhao?"
