Classic soul swap, but a musical

Maybe he was just scaring himself, don't think too much about it, but Xiangzi didn't want to be alone with "her" for a moment.

Her voice was a little distorted. "Let's go back. It's really too cold."

"Okay." Aragaki Ai just glanced at him, but it made Xiangzi feel very uncomfortable.

The two men returned to the hall, and with more people around them, Xiangzi felt at ease again.

The party became unbearable.

She made an excuse, left Mu temporarily, and went to the bathroom alone.

In front of the double sink, the girl with long light blue hair stared at the continuously flowing water from the faucet, scooped up a pool of clear water with her hand and splashed it on her cheek.

The large mirror inlaid with gold edges reflected her bloodless lips and pale cheeks. Her fingertips became cold after passing through the water, and her breathing became heavier.

Feeling the chill brought by the blood flowing and smelling the scent of perfume at the tip of his nose, the fear not only did not subside, but became even worse.

But Mu was her friend.

No matter who that person is, she must go back, find Mu, explain everything to her, and work together to find a way to take her body back.

Shoko Toyokawa noticed that her fingertips were trembling, but she went back resolutely.

In the hall, Aragaki Ai took another piece of lemon cake. He also took a look at the brand, which said something like Italian Lemon Curd Frozen Cake.

"Love, do you like this?"

Aragaki Ai nodded, which was considered a response to Mu. The fact that she took the initiative to ask questions really made their relationship closer.

He thought about what had just happened. Xiangzi's reaction was too big. Wasn't it just forming a band?

The cake was quickly finished. If it was his own body, he would have no problem eating five or six pieces, but Mu had a small appetite, and two pieces of cake were enough to make him feel full.

Seeing that he had finished eating the cake, Mu's voice came again, in a very calm tone, asking.

"Love, when will you come tomorrow?"

"When do you want me to come?"

Ai Aragaki took out her cell phone and typed on the notepad to respond to her question.

Mu didn't reply for a while, and after about a minute, she gave her answer.

"During the day, either in the morning or during lunch break. In the evening, I have ballet classes."

"Okay." Aragaki Ai agreed.

At this moment, Xiangzi finally came back, his eyes revealing a hint of determination, and looked at him.

"Can we go outside for a moment?"

"Of course." Aragaki Ai smiled handsomely again, "Shall we continue to talk about the band?"

"No, I'm busy with other things."

She walked in front, suddenly turned back, took a deep look, and led Aragaki Ai into a room.

This is a small tea room with a crowded layout, with only one table and single sofas on both sides, but it gives people a great sense of security.

The girl with long light blue hair closed the door and looked at "Wakaba Mutsu" sitting on her left. She held her breath and clenched her fists until her knuckles turned white.

It was like a novice hero who broke into the Demon King's castle and faced the Demon King directly.

What? I beat Sukuna?

However, as a brave man, Bai Xiang still chose to draw his sword in order to save his friends.

Her tone was firm and her eyes were sharp.

"who are you?"

Volume 1: Chapter 4 I Will Always Watch Over You

Aragaki Ai felt the sofa under her. It was a high-end product. She would feel wrapped up when she sat down. She looked at the girl with long light blue hair opposite her in a natural and relaxed state, smiling.

He knew that Xiangzi would guess it.

His elbows rested on the armrests, his arms slightly raised, his fingers interlaced, and he didn't answer for the time being.

Mu also felt a sense of tension. Through her eyes, she saw Xiangzi who was worried about her, saw Xiaoxiang's fear and worry, and saw that no matter how scared Xiaoxiang was, he still came to face him alone for her.

What should I do?

She and Ai had agreed not to reveal his existence, but she was discovered by Xiangzi.

"like......"

The air fell into silence, and Mu's voice only echoed in her mind. She was suddenly a little glad that she couldn't control her body, otherwise, she didn't know what expression she should make being caught in the middle.

Having love act for her is actually a very good experience.

The brief silence was broken. Aragaki Ai chuckled and gestured to Mu Anxin with a gentle and calm tone.

"Saki, what are you talking about? Who am I? As you can see."

"You are not Mu." Xiangzi's tone became firm, as if she could see her childhood sweetheart directly through Mu's golden eyes.

"So what do you say? Who am I?"

Aragaki Ai grinned, and the smile became eerie and terrifying in Xiangzi's eyes, but in fact there was no difference at all, it was still just a handsome smile as usual.

"I don't know." She slowly closed her eyes, and fresh air flowed into her lungs through her nasal cavity. She exhaled forcefully and then opened her eyes.

The amber eyes revealed a determined look, ignoring the fear, and looked at Aragaki Ai.

"Give Mu back to me."

"I didn't take Mu away, did I?"

Ai Aragaki had a smile on her face, not at all flustered by being exposed, and her body remained relaxed.

"First of all, I can only come here for four hours a day. Secondly, she is here voluntarily. If she is even slightly unwilling, Xiao Mu will kick me out."

The original owner could force him to log off. The only time he received a bad review was because he wanted to go to the bathroom, so Xiao Mu directly asked him to end the game.

Under this mechanism, the game can only continue if Ye Mu himself is willing to exist.

But Xiangzi did not retreat at all. He took two steps forward, moved closer to him, and asked.

"What methods did you use to make Mu agree to let you use his body?"

But Aragaki Ai did not answer her directly, but asked Xiaoxiang in a very calm tone.

"Do you think Mu is happy? Is the old Mu happier, or the current Mu happier?"

"..."

When asked this question suddenly, Xiangzi was speechless for a moment, recalling his quiet and submissive childhood sweetheart.

However, ever since this unknown existence started doing things for Mu, Mu seemed to be living more freely.

Aragaki Ai smiled and said, "I think you have the answer."

"No, no, that's not right. You used this method to get Mu to agree, right?"

Xiangzi bit his lip, seemed a little shaken, and took a step back slightly.

The room was well soundproofed, and the sound of the piano playing outside could not be heard at all inside. It was so quiet that all one could hear was her rapid heartbeat and Aragaki Ai's steady breathing.

After all, this is Mu's body. I can't retreat and I must never give up on her.

The succubus Xiaoxiang was shining at this moment. Not to mention Mu who was really worried about him, even Aragaki Ai sighed in her heart that Bai Xiang was really worthy of making friends.

The girl felt like her heart was about to jump out. She clenched her fists tightly and pushed them down, causing the back of her hand and forearm to form an angle of almost ninety degrees. Her fists faced downward, and the force showed her determination. She couldn't help but ask.

"You're so good at bewitching people, are you a devil? That's how you were able to take advantage of Mu's situation and use his body?! What on earth is your purpose?"

Ai Aragaki almost laughed out loud. When watching the animation, he felt that Xiaoxiang had a certain kind of... well, should we say it's a bit of a middle school student, or should we say idealism.

What about "a community of shared destiny", "let me forget everything", "can you leave the rest of your life to me?"

It is normal to have such an association.

Mu never asked him who he was or why he occupied her body. From beginning to end, she only asked about his gender and name.

It’s not that she doesn’t want to ask, but her taciturn personality prevents her from asking her guess as easily as Xiangzi.

Ai Aragaki just spread out her hands, smiling handsomely and mysteriously, at least that's how it looked in Mu's eyes. She knew nothing about love, she just felt...it didn't matter who used her body.

He answered Xiangzi's series of questions: "Well, who knows? Maybe I am the devil. It's only been four hours now, but maybe I can occupy Mu's body forever in the future."

"..." She widened her eyes, as if she could drive him away with her eyes. The fire she had ignited for her friend was already burning in her amber pupils.

Ai Aragaki stood up with Mu's body, adjusted her skirt, and took a step forward.

Just like yesterday in the corridor, he approached Xiangzi again. In order to keep a safe distance, she took a step back, but she didn't expect the room to be too small. Just one step away, her back hit the door.

She glanced at the door handle and found that it had been grasped in advance, leaving her with no way out.

The two people were already very close, only one step away from touching. The "Mu" in front of him always kept smiling, tilted his head to the right, and whispered.

"Saki, if I were a demon, I'd need a body. Would you be willing to sacrifice yourself in exchange for Xiaomu?"

"......"

Xiangzi felt that her fingertips were trembling unconsciously, her breathing became rapid, and her teeth were clenched.

She grabbed the shoulders of the beautiful doll-like girl and raised her voice, more like to give herself courage.

"Mu, can you hear me? If I can, I...I'm willing to do it, as long as I can get you back."

"I was just kidding." Aragaki Ai let out a crisp and pleasant laugh with her body and sat back on the sofa.

"Huh?" Xiangzi was startled.

"I'm not a devil, nor am I a weird person. I just want to help Xiao Mu."

Aragaki Ai put her right leg on top of her left leg, sat with her legs crossed, her hands naturally resting on the armrests, and her left hand supporting her chin, looking elegant and natural.

He said, "Don't worry, Mu's body will only belong to her. You and I have the same goal. Shouldn't we be companions?"

"...Are you kidding me?! If you're not a demon, how can you control Mu?"

Xiangzi reacted and pursed her lips into a line. She became more and more confused about him and realized that this man had no intention of telling her the truth.

No matter how hard you press, you won't get an answer.

So, what else is left for her to do?

As he sat back on the sofa, his tense body gradually relaxed, and she stared, gradually returning to normal.

"I'll keep my eyes on you."

Volume 1: Chapter 5 How can the favorability be reduced?

"Of course, if staring is enslavement, then who will enslave whom?" Aragaki Ai kept smiling, and was very calm from beginning to end. "Saki-chan, do you really believe that I am a devil and a demon? How cute."

"You really are?!" Xiangzi was enraged again. The man in front of her was like a surgeon, always able to accurately hit her nerves.

When she came to her senses, she suddenly found that her fear was almost gone and the atmosphere had become very harmonious.

When the anger faded and only the gaze that enslaved her remained in her ears, she asked the question.

"Did you say that?"

"what?"

“To gaze is to enslave.”

"No, it's Sartre." Aragaki Ai said casually, not taking this sentence to heart at all. Before he traveled through time, he would occasionally read some "useless books", at least that's what his teachers and parents said.

This sentence was like a bullet, perfectly hitting Xiangzi's heart and very much in line with her aesthetic.

Xiangzi repeated Sartre's name in his mind, causing her to pause in reality before she raised her head and looked at Aragaki Ai.

"Even though I say that, I'll still keep my eyes on you."

"Welcome." Aragaki Ai made a gesture of invitation, with a handsome and calm smile on his face.

Mu, who only existed in his body, looked at the two people without saying a word.
