As a former member of C-group, I want to destroy mygo!

At that moment, she saw Xiangzi trembling with anger, his eyes red as he glared at her.

Although Xiangzi was small, she still used her petite body to protect the boy, shielding him from all the malice directed at him by Ruoye Mutsu:

"Mumu, are you going to betray me too?!"

Her childhood friend had bared his fangs at her, leaving Wakaba Mutsu at a loss, as this had never happened before.

But in Toyokawa Shoko's view, the one who bared his fangs was Mutsu.

The breakup between the two girls came so suddenly that Ruoye Mu was saddened. Not being good with words, she didn't know how to make Xiangzi understand that she had no ill intentions.

If things continue like this, Xiangzi will leave, and then she will have no chance to explain anymore. Painful emotions are growing in her heart, causing Mu to feel a stinging pain.

After observing for a moment, Kamiya Yu's light and cheerful voice rang out: "Eh... you've been found out. As expected of Shoko's childhood friend. But it's too late now, isn't it?"

"Even if he wants to protect his friends, Xiangzi has already been captured by me, the intruder. What should we do, Mu?"

Kamiya Yu walked slowly to Mutsumi in a few steps, bent down slightly to be at eye level with the girl, and smiled gently:

"Since you want Xiangzi to be careful of me, shouldn't you, as her older sister, stand by her side more to prevent me from doing anything further to her?"

"Yo!" Toyokawa Shoko exclaimed anxiously.

Although Mu is the older sister in terms of age, she has been leading Mu forward for so many years that the roles of the two have long been reversed.

Being suddenly categorized as Mu's younger sister made her feel strangely embarrassed.

The slight dissatisfaction that had initially been directed at Mu was thus overturned and disappeared.

"..."

Wakaba Mutsu kept her mouth shut and looked hesitantly at Kamiya Yu.

What should I do? But how should I do it?

If she followed her parents' advice, she should immediately make the boy leave Xiangzi's side. But if she did that, wouldn't she be the one who would leave?

Mu is just not good at speaking, not stupid.

Lacking her own opinion, she instinctively and timidly looked at her childhood sweetheart: "Xiang, what should I do?"

“Even if you ask me…” Toyokawa Shoko hesitated. She knew that Aunt Wakaba and Uncle Wakaba were similar to her grandmother, the kind of people who valued profit.

If Yu is exposed, although the adults in the Wakaba family won't come over aggressively to warn her not to let boys with no benefit get close to their daughter, they might put Mutsu under house arrest.

She hadn't thought that much about it before; she just felt that since You wanted to know more about her, she should introduce him to her best childhood sweetheart.

But now, is it that we made a mistake?

For a moment, Toyokawa Shoko also felt awkward, and subconsciously, just like Mutsu looked at her, she looked at Yu with a pleading look for a sense of security: "Yu, what do you think we should do?"

"Well," Kamiya Yu thought for a moment, then asked the girl in front of him, "Does Mutsumi think Shoko would do something wrong?"

"……I have no idea."

"Has Xiangzi made any mistakes before?"

"...I haven't seen it."

"So, when faced with a difficult problem, who do you think is more reliable, you or Xiangzi?"

“...Xiang”.

"If that's the case, why don't you trust her judgment and instead be wary of me?"

"...Mom and Dad don't want any boys to come near them."

"Which of you—your parents or Xiangzi—is more genuinely thinking about your well-being?"

“...Xiang”.

Her parents meant well for her, but they also hoped that she could continue the wealth of the Ruoye family.

However, Xiangzi's reason for staying with her wasn't to continue the alliance of interests between Fengchuan and Wakaba, but simply because he wanted to take care of her and was worried about her stumbling and falling along in this world alone.

If Ye Mu's eyes could at least see these two clear realities.

Under the gentle questioning and answering of Kamiya Yuna, who treated him like a child, Mutsu seemed to see the light after the storm, and the confusion he had been caught between his parents' instructions and Shoko's wishes was finally completely dispelled.

Over the years, Mu has never once witnessed Xiangzi's failures or mistakes.

In that case, why not choose to believe her again?

and……

"Yu is a good person."

Based on her intuitive instincts, and without being able to explain why, Wakaba Mutsumi's wariness of this strange man completely dissipated.

"Since I'm a good person, would Mutsumi be willing to be my friend from now on?" Kamiya Yu, whose wicked scheme had succeeded, smiled at Mutsumi. "Just like Shoko, friends for life. How about the three of us together?"

It has the feel of Xiangzi.

As expected, because they were childhood friends, even though she had a unique flavor that belonged to 'Wakaba Mutsu,' she still received a part of Shoko's flavor.

Kamiya Yu gazed intently at the exquisitely beautiful girl before him, who resembled a doll.

He could easily imagine that in the countless days and nights that had passed, Xiangzi and this girl had hugged, held hands, stayed together, and even slept together at night. They might have even taken baths together, changed each other's clothes, fixed each other's hair, and played little house games together.

Having obtained so much of Wakaba Mutsumi's 85, it's almost as if he's become a part of Xiangzi's 6. ③…‰④☆④″〗②…∞

It's no wonder that when she introduced Mu to me before, she said something like "Mu is my other half"—a rather childish statement.

The chuunibyou Xiang is so cute.

That kind of chuunibyou-ish Shoko was a regrettable limited edition for Kamiya Yu, but for Wakaba Mutsu, he probably saw Shoko in all sorts of different forms countless times since he was a child.

The thought of this half of his body, which had taken away Xiangzi's childhood essence, having to become intimate with other men made him feel suffocated.

Carrying so many of Xiangzi's belongings, if the only way to prevent him from feeling uncomfortable is to sever all ties between the two girls right now.

Ten years later, Ruoye Mu would never look back on her childhood sweetheart again, and the aura of Xiangzi on her body had completely disappeared.

In that case, he wouldn't care who Ruoye Mu married.

But if that happens, Xiangzi will be heartbroken from now on.

With a slightly flustered mind, Kamiya Yu could only smile and put the problem aside for now. In short, let's build a good relationship with Mutsu first.

There are some things he can't ask Xiangzi for directly, such as her childhood photos, funny stories, past experiences and daily life. If he were to ask her directly, Xiangzi might be so shy that she wouldn't dare to talk to him for three days.

However, it's okay if the upper body looks well-behaved.

They look like they're easily fooled.

"We can definitely get along well. Please take good care of me for the rest of my life, Mu." The warm smile turned a little eerie.

"...?"

That seems a bit arbitrary.

Wakaba Mutsu blinked her golden eyes in confusion, feeling that Kamiya Yu had suddenly become unlike a good person again.

……

Wakaba Mutsu will always remember the scene when she first met Yu.

But she remembered even more clearly that You was a liar who habitually lied.

They had agreed to get along well, but after that, neither Xiang nor You ever came to see her again. At most, they would just send her messages on LINE.

Sometimes she felt lonely and wanted to call Xiangzi. At the same time, You's voice would come from the other end of the phone. The two of them would be snuggling together, and all she could hear was Xiangzi's most joyful and relaxed laughter since his mother's death.

Until that day.

The second meeting with Yu happened some time later, three days after Xiangzi suddenly came up with the idea to start a band called Crychic and pulled her into it.

You's figure has finally invaded this place, invading Xiang's entire life.

Volume 1: Chapter 115, Section 114. Mutsu's Memories: The Bystander's Entry

Mu was like a bystander, an outsider unrelated to the band, just watching from the sidelines.

She watched as Xiangzi showed favoritism and affection for the lamp, his tilted attention towards it even more than he showed to her, his childhood sweetheart.

She watched as Lixi argued with Deng and You, and then You used a strategy of retreating to advance, taming her until she was as obedient as a big black dog that could only bark softly but would never bite again.

She watched as the lamp, encouraged by You, began to become more positive, writing lyrics and even singing loudly.

Six or seven out of ten times, her gaze would linger on Xiangzi, while the remaining forty percent would be spent bickering with You, vying for ownership of Xiangzi, and then arguing and making a ruckus. Su Shi would either be defeated by Xiangzi's preference for You, or suppressed by Li Xi's preference for You.

Then he continued relentlessly, like a stubborn bull, determined to fight Yu again no matter how many times he failed.

Mu couldn't understand what was so exciting about a band like that.

She could make Xiangzi, You, Su Shi, Deng, and Li Xi all have smiles on their faces. Even when she was arguing with You or losing, Su Shi was still smiling, and her body and steps were so light.

Only the outsider named Mutsumi Wakaba seemed unable to laugh, only feeling a chill in his heart.

Before joining the band, and after joining the band, it seems like nothing has changed.

Perhaps the only difference is that in the Moon Forest, besides Shoko, there was a second person, Su Shi, who would talk to her. But because of the band, Yu and Touka, Shoko contacted her much less frequently. Even with Su Shi making up for it, she was still more lonely than before.

Moreover, the closeness of the school had nothing to do with the band.

Whenever the band gathers, Su Shi's gaze immediately returns to the band as a whole, and that so-called whole... probably consists of Xiangzi alone, who accounts for 90%.

Ruoye Mutsu never found band practice enjoyable; she only found it noisy.

Lixi, Deng, You, they were all very noisy. Even Su Shi and Xiangzi, who played very well, she didn't find their music pleasant anymore.

Until that day, after his performance, Kamiya Yu came to her side with a smile.

“The emotions in Mu’s playing are very vivid.”

"...?"

What is this person saying?

Ruo Yemu was bewildered. All along, whether it was her vocal teachers, her parents, or some professionals, the consensus was that while her technique was superb, her emotional delivery wasn't strong enough. 8.

This was the first time in many years that she had heard such a completely opposite assessment.

In this matter, Wakaba Mutsu chose to believe her vocal teacher: "Yu is a complete novice."

"That's really sharp." Kamiya Yu shook his head helplessly. If Mutsumi were to comment on Ritsuki, given her eloquence, someone would probably start throwing punches immediately. ⑥

But if Ye Mu couldn't understand what was wrong with telling the truth, she honestly said, "You played very poorly."⑹
