Finally, I became their white moonlight

Shiina Riki wiped his mouth, gritted his teeth, got out of bed, picked up his phone, and opened the group message viciously.

——How did that scene come about? Was it something you imagined, or did it really happen in reality?

She didn't know and was too lazy to think about it, so she planned to verify it in the fastest way possible to dispel the uneasiness and fear in her heart as soon as possible.

I casually glanced at the group message and found that it was indeed sent by Xiangzi. She informed everyone that Minghai left a song for them.

Unfortunately, Shiina Riki was not in the mood to listen for the moment. Instead, he clicked on Su Shi's avatar and made a voice call to her directly.

beep - beep -

A busy phone sounded and Shiina Riki stomped his feet in annoyance, trying to dispel the feeling of weak hands and feet in this way.

"Hurry up and answer the phone...why don't you answer it..."

After thirty seconds, the call was automatically disconnected because no one answered.

Shiina Riki called five more times, but all of them received no response, like a drop in the ocean.

Without hesitation, she called Toyokawa Shoko next, hoping to get some information from her, or at least to confirm Su Shi's safety first.

However, even Toyokawa Shoko, who had just sent a message to inform everyone not long ago, could not be reached on the phone.

A certain possibility emerged in his mind, and Shiina Riki widened his eyes in disbelief. His expression became even paler, and he staggered down onto the bed.

"Not even the lights..."

With trembling fingers, she slowly called Gao Songdeng.

...still no answer.

The phone fell to the ground with a snap, and Shiina Riki opened his mouth in confusion, the corners of his mouth twitching, revealing a somewhat absurd and broken self-deprecating expression.

"Could it be that I am having a nightmare and I haven't woken up yet..."

It was as if she was the only one left in the world. The cowardice and fear of being abandoned by everyone and having to survive alone in the world made her mind completely blank. She didn't know what to do now.

——What if that strange picture is real?

——What would she do if Xiangzi and Deng were like Su Shi and both committed suicide for Ming Hai?

[CryCHIC] who promised to be together forever and share a common destiny...does it mean that even death must be on the same day?

Shiina Riki subconsciously looked out the window.

The faintly flickering neon lights on the tall buildings became inexplicably dazzling.

For some reason, she suddenly began to feel...

Perhaps, advancing and retreating together with everyone is also a good choice.

Anyway, continuing to live will only torture my fragile self more; it is better to follow Su Shi's footsteps, go to another world together, and give a good punch to the guy who left without permission.

This way, it might be easier.

...She also had a lot of things she didn't have time to say, and she wanted to take this opportunity to say them to him.

“Haha, hahahaha…”

After a moment, he seemed to think of something interesting.

For the first time in these days, Shiina Riki laughed, and his laughter became louder and louder, with a kind of self-abandoning relief.

"how could it be possible……"

"That overly gentle fool, who always worked tirelessly to do chores and allowed us to live well until the end - how could he allow me to do such a stupid thing?"

He said this before going on stage that day.

"Be the band's last line of defense - no matter what happens, it's up to you to keep the performance going."

That’s right, ‘no matter what happens’.

As the drummer of CryCHIC, Tatsuki Shiina must maintain the band until the very last moment.

No matter how desperate or how scared you are...

She has to be the last one to fall.

Rubbing his cyan eyes, Shiina Riki wiped away the excess tears, picked up the phone again, and stood up shakily.

"I'm going to go find them."

She murmured with a determined look in her eyes: "Jumping off a building for love may just be an overly realistic nightmare...I won't believe that anything really happened to them until I see the evidence with my own eyes."

After changing his clothes as quickly as possible, Shiina Riki did not forget to call his last companion before going out.

She didn't hold out any expectations and was prepared for the possibility that Ye Mu would lose contact with her.

But to her surprise, the call was connected very quickly.

Then, unlike usual, a calm voice with some ups and downs sounded anxiously.

"Li Xi, Su Shi she...Su Shi she..."

Quickly going downstairs and rushing to the entrance, Shiina Riki took an umbrella and comforted the other party: "Mu, calm down. What happened to Su Shi?"

"She...jumped down from the building..."

"I know... No, wait! You saw that scene too?!"

After pushing open the door, Shiina Riki paused and couldn't help but ask into the phone in surprise.

"So, you also saw it... I am now... on my way to the Su family."

Ruoye Mu spoke intermittently, as if he was jogging and had difficulty breathing: "I just called Xiangzi... Xiangzi didn't answer... I called Su Shi's mother again..."

Without any further hesitation, Shiina Riki walked into the rain with an umbrella, his steps just as hurried.

"Do you have Su Shi's mother's phone number?"

"I got it when I visited him last time..." Ruo Yemu paused slightly, with a hint of disbelief in his tone, "But Su Shi's mother said that she didn't know anyone named Su Shi, and that she had always lived alone..."

"Huh?!" Shiina Riki couldn't help but yell, "Are you sure you didn't call the wrong number? How can a mother not recognize her daughter?"

"It can't be wrong. I don't know what's going on..." Ruo Yemu said confusedly and aggrievedly, "I called to confirm three times, and Su Shi's mother blocked me in the end... So I wanted to go and confirm Su Shi's safety with my own eyes..."

"Me too, of course there are Deng and Xiangzi." Shiina Riki frowned and quickly made a decision, "How about this, we split up into two groups, you go to Su Shi's house, I go to Deng's house, and as for Xiangzi... you have her home phone number, right?"

"I asked, and Xiangzi left the funeral this morning, saying that he was going to get Ming Hai's belongings. He should not have left Roppongi yet."

"So she most likely met Su Shi?"

Ruoye Mu whispered, "The second message sent by Xiangzi should have been sent by Su Shi."

"How come... I see, I didn't expect you to be so attentive." Before he finished asking, Shiina Riki recalled the chat screen that he had just glanced at before, and suddenly realized, "Indeed, there is a clear difference in the use of honorifics, and the way to address Ming Hai... The message at the end was definitely sent by Su Shi using Xiangzi's phone!"

Ruoye Mu was worried: "But the problem is..."

"Well, the question is..." Shiina Riki also frowned, his expression solemn, "Why did Xiangzi let Su Shi use her phone to send another message that was no different? If the images that appeared in our minds at the same time were real, why didn't Xiangzi stop her? What is she doing now?"

"...Absolutely, it can't be true." Ruo Yemu's voice trembled slightly, and her calm tone could no longer hide the fear and worry in her heart. She could only repeat to herself, "Su Shi and Xiangzi will be fine..."

Shiina Riki opened his mouth, but in the end he could only respond in a low voice.

"Yeah, we'll be fine..."

【CryCHIC】, only one person will be missing forever.

-

Toyokawa Shoko didn't know when she woke up.

When she saw the open window on the balcony, the umbrella thrown on the ground, and the bench blown down by the wind beside the railing.

The swelling despair completely crushed her spirit, the world was spinning, and her consciousness was almost frozen by the cold rain.

She was unable to think, but instinctively picked up the umbrella, not even caring about her cell phone, and went downstairs in a daze, wanting to see Su Shi for the last time.

——But, nothing was found.

The body, the blood, and even the traces of heavy objects falling... It was as if Su Shi had not fallen from the building at all, and nothing related to her could be seen under the building.

Toyokawa Shoko instantly felt hopeful.

Maybe Su Shi gave up on committing suicide and was now hiding in a corner, preparing to scare herself; or maybe she fell on another resident's balcony, and although she was injured, at least she was safe.

Thinking of this, Shoko Toyokawa prepared to return to the apartment and investigate thoroughly.

But at this moment, there was a sharp pain in the brain, a white light enveloped the eyes, and a scene was forced into the consciousness.

"…If only I were the only one in his eyes at the beginning."

"Nakamiya, I'm here to see you."

“…Please catch me.”

Toyokawa Shoko stood there in a daze. Tears welled up again from the aching corners of her eyes, which she thought had dried up. The uncontrollable sadness mixed with the raindrops, splashing water under her feet.

"Why……"

"Why do you have to do this? Why don't you listen to Ming Hai..."

"You idiot who only has yourself in his mind... He obviously has you in his eyes too! Sometimes I even feel that you are more important to him than me..."

"Why do you love him more than me, your girlfriend..."

"Even though I have to die, I should be the first one to die..."

Toyokawa Shoko wiped her face and cried inconsolably. She could no longer maintain the strength and maturity she had pretended to be during this period. She just released her sadness in the rain without any scruples like a lonely and helpless little girl.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Her lover and best friend died in front of her one after another. Even though the latter didn't even see the corpse, there was only a memory that came from nowhere, telling her that Su Shi had indeed jumped from a height of more than 40 floors. However, it was still a blow and despair that Toyokawa Shoko could not bear.

The long sky-blue hair was wet by the rain, and the delicate and lovely face was in a state of disarray, so miserable that it would not be an exaggeration to describe it as crying bitterly.

Her spirit had completely collapsed. She didn't know where to go or what to do next, but her instinct made her not want to get close to the apartment building that held such sad memories. She walked outside while crying loudly.

Step by step, she walked alone in the rain.

Surrounded by loneliness and sorrow, the beautiful memories related to them continue to roll in my mind.

"Mr. Ming Hai..."

"Mr. Sushi..."

"How can I be strong... How can I live well..."

"Tell me... didn't you promise to always stay by my side and help me..."

"I also want to wake up from this nightmare with you..."

Before she knew it, she was on a bridge and could faintly hear the sound of a tram passing by under the bridge.

She was completely unaware and just wiped her already blurry eyes and watched the water splashing beneath her feet.

Heavy rain fell from the sky, splashing like butterflies falling to the ground.

Toyokawa Shoko slowly stopped, her eyes confused and her expression dazed, staring blankly at the rain butterflies fluttering on the bridge in groups and then melting into circles of ripples.

The surroundings seemed to suddenly become quiet, with only transparent butterflies flying around me.

She looked upwards along the source, and under the gray and gloomy sky, the rain butterflies seemed to form two figures, smiling at her gently in the distance.

"Sure enough, just as Suyo-san said..."

Tears rolled down her cheeks, but Toyokawa Shoko couldn't help but smile.

She suddenly stretched out her hand, as if seeking some kind of redemption, half of her body leaned out of the edge of the bridge, and her tiptoes gradually left the ground.

It was about to cross the air and jump from a height of more than ten meters to the railway track below.

"This absurd yet wonderful world must be a nightmare that no one wants to immerse themselves in..."

"Is it my turn next?"

"…I miss seeing you too, Narumi-kun."

There was a hazy white light in front of his eyes and an innocent smile on his face.

Her fingertips were about to touch the phantoms of the two people.

next moment.

I lost control of my body and felt a moment of weightlessness.
