The goal of life is to break up all couples

As someone who has been through this, Azusa Matsueda understands very well how problems in one's family of origin can profoundly influence the shaping of one's character as they grow up. Just like him, it was precisely because he was born and raised in a family that was extremely lacking in love, companionship, and even communication that he became such a loveless kid.

In contrast, Saki Kawasaki's family situation seems even more serious. Not only does she lack affection, but she also has many younger siblings to care for, and it sounds like her family's financial situation is also difficult. A child growing up in such an environment, lacking both spiritual and material support, could easily develop any kind of personality distortion.

And most importantly, these love-deprived children are most vulnerable to emotional deception. It's not uncommon for them to be deceived by delinquents and ultimately fall into despair. Breaking away from family and refusing to communicate at the instigation of these delinquents is a common tactic, making it even easier for them to fall under their control, making it impossible to escape even if they regret their actions and struggle.

If Matsueda Azusa had initially only come to join in the fun with the intention of breaking up couples, he was now truly serious. He couldn't bear to see someone who had grown up in a similar environment to him being deceived and repeating his mistakes.

"Speaking of which, I thought of another thing..."

Kawasaki Daishi looked at the people whose expressions had grown serious, hesitated for a long time, and then spoke carefully, as if making up his mind: "Lately, I've been receiving calls from strange places, saying they're looking for my sister. I remember it was called "Angel" or something, I think it's a store... and it's the manager calling..."

"There's definitely something wrong!"

Hikigaya Hachiman couldn't help but blurt out after hearing this.

Kawasaki Daishi nodded at him in agreement.

Even Yumiko Miura was slightly taken aback: "It doesn't sound like a good place... This kind of store name sounds very ambiguous at first glance, I always feel..."

Considering the presence of Daishi Kawasaki, Yumiko Miura did not continue speaking, but her meaning was already very clear.

Seeing this, Matsueda Azusa made the decision without hesitation: "We'll take care of this matter. Since tomorrow is our day off, let's investigate some information about Saki Kawasaki and the shop called Angel. Is that okay with everyone?"

Hikigaya Hachiman subconsciously wanted to refuse, but Komachi was staring at him from the side. He had no choice but to nod his head resignedly: "No problem, Buchou. But... what about Wenshui and the others?"

Yumiko Miura also had no objection: "How can I be absent from such a thing? Of course I have to go."

Matsueda Azusa nodded and said, "As for Wenshui and Yana...Yaman, you can send them a message tonight to ask. If they are free, they can come. If not, there is no need to force them. After all, it was a sudden incident and we didn't notify them in advance. There is no need to force them to come."

Seeing this, Kawasaki Daishi finally breathed a sigh of relief and bowed vigorously to them, saying, "Thank you, thank you! I'm so sorry to have troubled you all! Without your help, I really don't know what I would have done!"

Yumiko Miura probably rarely received such serious thanks from her juniors. In addition, she was actually just joining in the fun, so for a moment she felt a little ashamed and turned her head away with a red face.

Songzhi Zi nodded and said: "It's getting late, so let's disband for today. We'll gather here at the school gate tomorrow morning. Is that okay?"

Everyone has no opinion on this.

After disbanding on the spot, Matsueda Azusa thought for a moment on the way home, took out his cell phone and called someone.

Somewhat unexpectedly, the other party answered the call very quickly.

It was very quiet on the other side, so quiet that I could hear the sound of a car driving steadily. It seemed that the other party was on his way back.

Yukinoshita Yukino's voice rang out: "Matsueda-san...? I didn't expect you to call me on your own initiative. I can't imagine what you need to contact me about after school. There's no need to keep me in suspense. Just tell me directly."

"You're really businesslike, Yukinoshita-san. But I'm a little surprised that you actually answered the phone."

Matsueda Azusa didn't waste any time and said bluntly, "Yukinoshita-san, don't you remember all the students in our grade? Then you should know Saki Kawasaki. I'd like to borrow your investigative channels to investigate something."

Yukinoshita Yukino was silent for a moment: "I remember her. She's your classmate, right? ...How did she offend you?"

"Why is it that when you hear me asking about someone, the first possibility that comes to mind is that I want to mess with her? Have I become such a person?"

Matsueda Azusa couldn't help but complain.

Yukinoshita Yukino said as a matter of course: "What else? Don't the things you did in school prove that you are just like that? Let me be frank, I won't help the evil. If you want to do something bad, you'd better give up on it as soon as possible."

Matsueda Azusa had no choice but to briefly tell her about Saki Kawasaki.

Yukinoshita Yukino thought for a moment, then said in a surprised tone, "It sounds like they're actually doing something good. Unbelievable. When did your club start caring about this kind of thing?"

"Didn't I tell you already? This situation is most likely due to someone cheating on you with some bad behavior outside of school."

Matsueda Azusa explained, "Our club is not only responsible for dealing with inappropriate relationships within the school, but also outside of it. We can't just stand by and watch our classmates suffer this kind of thing."

Yukinoshita Yukino thought for a moment and said, "That does make some sense. I've changed my mind about you a little bit."

Whether she changed her mind or not was meaningless to Songzhi Zi. He curled his lips and said, "So you agreed?"

"Investigating things outside of school is more troublesome. Unless..."

Yukinoshita Yukino thought for a moment, as if considering it, and then hesitantly said: "Well... unless... you beg me. Then you must agree to one condition of mine to repay you, then I will reluctantly help you with this."

Songzhi Zi blurted out without hesitation: "Please."

Yukinoshita Yukino was completely speechless: "...As expected of you. Okay, keep your promise. I will help with this matter and will probably give you a reply tomorrow morning. However... there is something I must remind you."

Songzhi Zi raised an eyebrow: "What?"

"This involves situations outside of school... I'm afraid I'll have to ask my sister for help."

Yukinoshita Yukino said carefully: "She will definitely ask me why I am investigating this matter. Then I will tell her the truth. In other words..."

"Your sister will probably take this opportunity to come directly to me, right?"

Songzhizi held his forehead helplessly.

Yukinoshita Yukino was really desperate. In order to make him owe her a favor, she was even willing to ask Haruno for help... Was it really that necessary? She obviously didn't want to contact that guy unless it was necessary.

In fact, even if she said she couldn't help, Songzhi Zi wouldn't do anything, at most she would just laugh at her. It's just a few laughs...

Yukinoshita Haruno, this guy Matsueda Azusa knew. Because of his family relationship, Matsueda Azusa had attended many cocktail parties. His parents maintained a relatively good relationship with the Yukinoshita family, so at the cocktail party, Yukinoshita Haruno would try his best to "take care" of him - if that could be considered care.

This is also the main reason why Songzhi Zi's club was able to pass the approval of the alumni association so easily.

Compared to Yukinoshita Yukino, Matsueda Azusa had more contact with Haruno and was a little more familiar with her. But that girl was too difficult to deal with, and her personality was the type that Matsueda Azusa disliked, so he always tried to avoid meeting her.

Yukinoshita Yukino confirmed: "Indeed. So... you'd better be prepared."

Chapter 88: Mu Zimi’s call.

After saying goodbye to Yukinoshita Yukino all the way, Matsueda Azusa returned home and was stunned for a while facing the empty BigHouse. He chose to take a shower first.

After all, there's nothing to do when you get home, and no one to chat with, so you might as well go get some rest. Even playing games is boring when there's no one around.

After taking a shower, Matsueda Azusa picked up her phone while drying her hair, and took a look to find that she had missed a call.

"Xiao Mu actually called me... Is it about Xiangzi or Su Shi?"

Songzhi Zi tilted his head and thought about it. Generally speaking, there were only these two things that Xiao Mu would contact him.

It feels like it's possible.

After all, she had just met Toyokawa Shoko yesterday and scolded her. Maybe she would ask Mutou if he had revealed her whereabouts to him. It felt like Toyokawa Shoko was the one who did it.

And Nagasaki Suyo came to Matsueda Azusa in the evening to get scolded.

Never mind, there's no point dwelling on it. Songzhi Zi called back.

Xiao Mu seemed to be staring at his phone and answered the call almost immediately.

The sound of the speakers could still be faintly heard from the other side. It sounded as if Xiao Mu had just been playing the guitar, and when he heard the phone ringing, he hurried over to answer it.

Somehow, maybe it was an accident, the voice call was switched to a video call by Xiaomu.

Matsueda Azusa was drying her hair with a towel and was too lazy to change it back.

He looked at Mutou and asked directly, "What do you want from me, Xiao Mu? I was taking a shower just now and didn't answer the call."

Xiao Mu sat in the corner of the rehearsal room he built at home, holding his guitar. He looked small and lonely in the huge room.

Although she didn't show any expression, it was easy to tell that she looked a little depressed.

"I'm sorry, Azi."

The first thing Xiao Mu said was an apology full of regret.

Matsueda Azusa was not surprised. After all, Xiaomu did deserve an apology.

So Matsueda Azusa accepted her apology calmly, but he didn't know what she wanted to apologize for. "What is it?"

Ruoye Mu was stunned for a moment before he hesitated and said, "It's all my fault... I didn't persuade Su Shi to stay."

So that was it. Songzhi Zi suddenly realized.

"Azi has already told me what to do... I'm sorry."

Seeing that Matsueda Azusa did not answer, Wakaba Mutsu added another sentence.

To be honest, when Nagasaki Suyo rushed to the school gate to stop him, Matsueda Azusa was really shocked. He had thought about it a lot, but he never thought that asking Wakaba Mutsu to persuade Nagasaki Suyo would produce such a show effect.

Especially when she was still going crazy saying that everyone was lying to her, even Xiao Mu knew that Takamatsu Deng had returned to Crychic but she didn't know. Matsueda Azusa was really confused at that time, and she didn't know what Mu Tou had said to Nagasaki Suyo to make her understand what he meant.

But we can't blame her entirely. In the final analysis, it was just a coincidence that Li Xi pulled Gao Songdeng back to Crychic, otherwise it wouldn't have turned out like that.

Perhaps this is how Wakaba Mu speaks.

However, apart from scaring Azusa Matsueda, this incident was actually not a big deal. He didn't quit Crychic because of this incident.

Thinking of this, Songzhi Zi waved his hand and said, "Crychic's problem has little to do with this matter. Xiaomu, there's no need to blame yourself so much. But let's be honest, you really need to learn how to speak."

Ruoye Mu stood up seriously after hearing this, walked to the nearby bookcase, took out a book from it, and showed it to Songzhi Zi: "Zi, I am studying hard."

But then she revealed a slightly distressed look: "But I don't know why, I followed the instructions in the book, but the result is completely different."

Songzhi Zi took a closer look and saw that the book in Ruoye Mu's hand was exactly "One Hundred Ways to Speak That Even Paramecium Can Learn". On the bookshelf behind him was a pile of professional books such as "Elementary School Students Learning to Speak" and "Professional Cucumber Planting Manual".

It is not surprising that if one can learn to speak from this kind of book, then it can be understood as that meaning in Nagasaki Suyo's ears, especially since Nagasaki Suyo has some amazing wisdom.

Songzhi Zi couldn't help but hold his forehead and gently reminded: "Instead of reading this kind of book, it's better to communicate more with others."

Ruoye Mu nodded obediently, put the book back on the bookshelf, and asked, "Then... A Zi, Su Shi... what should we do? Su Shi seems very sad today."

"What should I do? If I can't do it, then I won't do it."

Hearing Wakaba Mu's request for help, Songzhi Zi was stunned for a moment, and pulled the corner of his mouth and said, "No, Mu, are you serious? I was the one who quit Crychic, and I was the one who got hurt. It's okay for you to call me to apologize, but you actually asked me how to make Su Shi not sad? Asked me how I can help her? You..."

Songzhizi is really a bit like black chicken and mackerel.

I originally thought that Xiao Mu was a normal person among this group of people, but now it seems that he is not that normal.

Oh, that’s not the case. It’s not abnormal. It’s just that I didn’t care about his feelings at all.

Even though Matsueda Azusa hadn't expected Wakaba Mu to care about him from the beginning, after all, they'd been teammates for so long, couldn't he even pretend to care? He just gave a perfunctory apology and then hurriedly asked him to help comfort Su Shi?

It really made Songzhi Zi laugh out loud.

When people encounter something extremely infuriating and speechless, they really can't help but laugh.

Now that I've quit, I realize that all the members of Crychic are geniuses. It's thanks to him that I was able to stay happily in this band for so long.

They are sick, and he, Songzhizi, is also sick.

Ruoye Mu was choked by Songzhi Zi's words. He didn't know what to say for a moment. A trace of panic appeared on his expressionless face: "Sorry, did I say something wrong again?"

In her desperation, she even spoke more: "I sincerely apologize to A Zi, but... Su Shi is about to break down, and I also want to help her."

Having said that, she was silent for a moment before continuing: "Azi always has a way, so..."

"What do you mean by sincere? Your sincere apology is just an apology and then asking me for help? And you want me to help Nagasaki Suyo?"

Songzhi Zi stretched out his hand and pinched his brow. What on earth was wrong with this world? What sin had he committed in his past life to deserve being tortured by these gods and men?

But the problem is that if Ye Mu really doesn't know anything and looks innocent, Songzhi Zi really can't curse him even if he wants to, so he can only hold it in for the time being.

No, it's not like she doesn't understand anything. If Ye Mu understands, but doesn't understand at the same time, it's a very complex superposition. Song Zhizi herself isn't that familiar with her, so it's even more impossible for her to know what's going on in her mind.

Wakaba Mu looked at Songzhi Zi timidly and replied in a low voice: "Azi... because besides Azi, I don't know who else I can ask for help..."

Songzhi Zi laughed in anger. Sometimes being too nice to others, working too hard in a team, really leads to this kind of fate.

He said directly: "Okay, okay, I help you, you help Su Shi, then who will help me? Su Shi is injured, Su Shi is going to be broken, so I won't be injured, right? I am the saddest person in this matter, right? Nagasaki Su Shi is your friend, so what, am I not your friend anymore? Wakaba Mu? What am I to you? A tool, right? You come to me for help when you can't figure out what to do, and you don't care what I think. So am I 'Matsueda Encyclopedia' or Doraemon?"

Ruoye Mu looked at the slightly red Songzhi Zi with a sad look, but his defense was pale and powerless: "No, I know A Zi is also hurt..."

"But because Azi is very strong, he will definitely be able to heal himself."

She said this with certainty.

Ruoye Mu looked at Matsueda Azusa on the other side of the video and thought to himself: Azusa has always been like this. Even if he encounters setbacks, he can overcome them, help everyone, and understand everyone... I also want to be a person like Azusa, so...

"That's enough nonsense to say."

Songzhi Zi frowned. "First of all, I'm not the strong person you claim I am. The reason I was able to overcome difficulties and setbacks and help you is because you were the ones I cared about the most. So even if I was sad, I was able to solve these problems for everyone."

"But why should I do this now? What relationship do they have to me now? Why should I help them when I am also hurt and sad? I value and care about people, but I am not a lifelong tool!"

Ruoye Mu whispered: "I didn't treat Azi as a tool..."

"Then why do you only think about comforting Su Shi, but never think about helping me?"

Matsueda Azusa retorted without hesitation: "You're willing to help Toyokawa Shoko conceal her secrets, and you're willing to ask others for help for Nagasaki Suyo. Then what am I? I understand that I'm not as important as they are to you, but if you hadn't asked me to help Nagasaki Suyo at this time when I'm quitting Crychic? Then I'd consider you to be caring for me even a little bit."

Ruo Ye Mu didn't know how to answer. He had a lot to say, but he couldn't organize it into words.
