People are in Mygo, and I can write their personalities.

"What exactly did Nanami Natsuki do to you? You're Xiaoxiang's friend... If you're willing to tell me, I'll try to help you."

"..."

It seemed that those words had an effect; instead of continuing her silent weeping, Misaka Chuka picked up her phone and typed out new text:

Before I tell you everything, I hope you, Su Shi, will swear not to tell anyone what you heard today, even if... I betrayed you.

"...Huh?"

This was the first time Nagasaki Motoyo had ever heard anyone say such a thing. Of course, keeping a secret would be reasonable, but even if the other party had betrayed her—although Motoyo didn't know what Hatsuka wanted her to do—it was a bit too much to ask others not to tell them about today's conversation.

"Aren't you going a bit too far? Didn't you come to me? And how can I trust you after you've said this beforehand that you might betray me?"

That's not what I meant. What I meant was that no matter what happens, even if you harbor hatred towards me and want revenge in the future, I hope you at least won't tell anyone the secret I'm about to reveal today. Otherwise, you can do whatever you want.

"......All right."

Although she didn't know the situation, Nagasaki Motoyo believed that she could understand this feeling. "But before you tell me those things, I still want to ask what you want me to do."

I want you to rebuild Crychic.

"Uh." Looking at the line of text displayed on her phone, Su Shi felt somewhat confused. "Is it possible that this was something I was supposed to do all along, and that I would have done it even if you hadn't contacted me?"

What I mean is, you need to win everyone back, including Shiina Tatsuki.

Chu Hua typed this message but didn't rush to see Su Shi's reaction, because in her opinion, her biggest wish right now was to destroy Nanami Natsuki's happy life.

After all, the other party had already destroyed the hopes she had held onto.

Chu Hua felt that her current state was definitely not her fault. Xiao Xiang could accept Nanami Natsuki, but not her... This must be because from the beginning, Nanami Natsuki's goal was to bewitch Xiao Xiang.

Nanami Natsuki never intended to help her. After everything went according to her plan, that girl even tried to find a reasonable excuse for the bad things she did.

This is a complete trampling of her dignity, like a vicious robber taking what belongs to her and then returning to mock her incompetence.

Isn't this just like those NTR characters in works banned for minors who, after succeeding, turn around and stand in front of their victims to declare victory?!

Chu Hua knew that she couldn't resist on her own, and she also knew that among all the people she knew, no one could actually stand up to Nanami.

But she believed in Xiao Xiang... or rather, she believed in Xiao Xiang's trust in the bonds that everyone in Crychic had built up among themselves.

So she chose to find Su Shi, hoping that this girl who had always wanted to rebuild Crychic could take Riki back, so that at least Nanami Natsuki would never be so smug again.

"I'm sorry, but I've given up on bringing Lixi back."

What the hell?

Chu Hua was naturally very upset to hear this, but since she was practically mute, she could only express her feelings through text on her phone.

How are you any different from Li hope back then?

"...I know what you want to say."

Seeing that Chu Hua had typed and deleted a lot of words, and finally only sent this simple message, Nagasaki Suze sighed. However, her decision was already made up, and she would not easily change it because of someone else's words.

Of course, she also admitted that Chu Hua was right; it was true that Li hope was unwilling to forgive Xiao Xiang back then.

But another fact is that Xiao Xiang did not do anything as bad as Li hope, which is completely different. Moreover, in Su Shi's opinion, it is not Xiao Xiang who needs to apologize, but Li hope who has been stubbornly refusing to admit his mistakes.

"However... I can understand why you want me to do this, because you want to get revenge on Nanami, right? After all, Riki has been completely bewitched by that brat."

"..."

“How about this?” Su Shi thought for a moment and made a suggestion. “I can refrain from persuading Xiao Xiang to give up Li Xi, but I also agree to keep my stance. After all, it doesn’t seem to matter to you whether Crychic can reunite completely, right? You just hope that Nanami Natsuki’s ally can be one less.”

Upon hearing this, Chu Hua nodded silently, and her mood improved considerably.

"However, I still maintain that I don't understand your true stance. I don't even know why you fell out with that guy. Maybe you just came here to play me because she told you to?"

"..."

Okay, I'll tell you my real identity and what really happened last weekend, as long as you promise you'll never tell anyone.

"I promise."

Nagasaki Motoyo crossed her legs, looking somewhat impatient.

Even though she had already made a promise, why was Mitsumaki still acting so hesitant? Was it because they didn't have much mutual trust?

"Sigh... I really don't tell just anyone. Even if Xiao Xiang asks me, I won't tell you. But if you still can't believe me, then I think you shouldn't force yourself."

I will speak; I'm just thinking about where to begin.

Is it really necessary to be so cautious? Could it be that what she's about to hear is even more shocking than what she's heard before?

Nagasaki Motoyo looked up at Hatsuka, who was typing away by herself after glancing up at her, and began to feel a little curious.

Curiosity is human nature, and Su Shi is no exception. Her fingers fiddled with the rim of the teacup, looking like she couldn't wait to see what was going on.

You haven't forgotten that I'm an illegitimate daughter of the Toyokawa family, have you?

"Yes, you told me yourself. Of course... I have to make it clear again that I haven't mentioned this to anyone."

Chu Hua nodded, seemingly believing her statement.

Actually, I'm not only an illegitimate daughter of the Toyokawa family, but my father is also the current head of the Toyokawa family, which is Xiaoxiang's maternal grandfather. So, I should be Xiaoxiang's aunt.

"......Um?"

Upon seeing this message, Nagasaki Motoyo's first reaction was that she didn't quite understand what it meant.

She glanced at her phone, then at the girl in front of her, as if trying to confirm whether the girl was teasing her.

[Xiao Xiang knows about this now, but because of Nanami Natsuki, the Toyokawa family has nothing to do with me anymore. However, I feel that since we're going to build trust, I should tell you everything about myself.]

"Wait, wait... I haven't accepted what you just said yet!"

Nagasaki Motoyo reached out to interrupt Hatsuka's "words," because she had just realized that she, who often called herself Xiaoxiang's best friend, seemed to have inexplicably become a generation younger than the girl in front of her.

Of course, that's not the main point. The main point is... is Xiao Xiang's maternal grandfather really that amazing?

Is this considered cheating? Or what? Su Shi was really curious... but she really couldn't ask for more details on this issue.

Are you sure you're not joking?

"..."

"Okay... I should say... I'm very sorry for what happened to you?"

Perhaps realizing that her words were somewhat impolite, Nagasaki Motoyo adjusted her tone again, "Ahem, I really didn't expect that the relationship between you and Xiaoxiang would be so complicated. I thought you were just half-siblings."

"I did get a little emotional just now, but... I'm sorry I don't know what to say, because I really didn't expect it to be like this."

Nagasaki Motoyo imagined what it would be like to have this identity on her own, and just a casual thought made her feel that this kind of life was full of tragedy.

She didn't know much about the internal situation of the Toyokawa family, but just by looking at Hatsuka's current situation, she knew that it hadn't been easy for him to get here.

So, it seems that Nanami Natsuki actually did something really good?!

At least in Su Shi's mind, if someone could appear in front of her and cure this "illness" that would torment her for the rest of her life, she would be extremely grateful to that person, even if that person's personality was extremely unfortunate.

Thinking of this, Nagasaki Motoyo frowned. Her gaze toward Mikasa Mikasa held not only sympathy but also suspicion.

...She couldn't understand why Chu Hua, who had received such a great favor, would come to her and say she wanted to take revenge on her benefactor.

One thing at a time, she felt that if it were her, even if she thought Nanami Natsuki was annoying, she wouldn't stand against her.

She might even support Qi Hai just as she supports Xiao Xiang now. Of course, these are all just hypotheticals... She doesn't have these fates that don't belong to her, and she doesn't know how she would choose in that situation.

"Let me ask you something. Did Nanami charge you a very high price for doing this for you? Is it because the price was too high for you that you regretted making the deal with her in the first place?"

Wait a minute... I remember you said last time that this deal had no cost? Or were you not telling the truth last time?

"..."

Misaka Chuka shook her head and typed the following:

No, I didn't pay any price for this.

"Then I don't quite understand. If that's the case, why did you come to me? If it were me, I would not only be very grateful to Nanami Natsuki, but I would also stand on her side without hesitation, right? After all, the truth about you... has indeed exceeded my expectations."

It can't be because of "justice," can it?

To be honest, although Nagasaki Suze was very annoyed with that brat, upon closer reflection she realized that he hadn't done anything too bad, even in Riki's situation... Suze felt that the majority of the responsibility lay with Riki's own choices.

Upon hearing Su Shi's question, Sanka Chuka paused for a moment, then once again adopted a coy demeanor.

However, this time she did not hesitate for long. Perhaps it was because in Chu Hua's mind she was already in a state of "what's the use of trying" and she could not think of anything else she wanted to do except take revenge on Nanami Natsuki.

【Su Shi, I have a question for you: Do you ever have that feeling of constantly thinking about a girl, wishing she could be by your side every day, and only wanting her to look at you?】

What kind of question is this?

When Nagasaki Motoyo looked at the text on her phone, her first thought was of Nanami Natsuki, the parasite who used to eat and drink her food.

Admittedly, Su Shi really wanted to do as Chu Hua suggested, to lock this restless little devil in her house, so that this guy, who had bad intentions towards everyone, could only see her, the prisoner's face, besides the room's furnishings.

She also wanted to take this opportunity to tie up Nanami Natsuki's hands and feet again, and then give her a little food every day to keep her hanging up, and when she had nothing to do, she would slap the little girl's bottom a few times and listen to her begging for mercy for amusement.

But could Chu Hua be thinking the same thing as her? Why does Su Shi always feel that Chu Hua's words don't seem to be directed at Nanami Natsuki? After all, there doesn't seem to be that kind of ruthlessness in Chu Hua's eyes at this moment.

"I...no, is this question really that important? And what exactly are you trying to say? Can you stop beating around the bush?"

So you really have, right? Looks like I wasn't wrong, you really are the same kind of person as me.

What do you mean we're the same kind? Besides, she didn't say anything at all!

Nagasaki Motoyo looked at Mikami Hatsuka and noticed that the other woman seemed to be looking at her with a very sympathetic gaze, as if she were a pitiful person suffering the same fate as the other woman.

I don't understand at all...

Let me tell you very clearly, you shouldn't have this idea; Xiao Xiang won't accept it.

"Why are you defending that guy... Wait, who are you talking about? Xiao Xiang? No, I would never do that kind of thing to Xiao Xiang!"

As Nagasaki Motoyo voiced her doubts, she received another message from Mikami Hatsuka:

Although I used to hate you and think you were my enemy, I panicked and made a deal with Nanami Natsuki. Together with her, we kidnapped Xiaoxiang and brought him to my house, hoping to create a suspension bridge effect and then take the opportunity to confess my feelings.

But that bastard Nanami Natsuki deceived me. She deliberately let Xiaoxiang discover the truth, and my affair was exposed. Then Xiaoxiang rejected me harshly.

I had absolutely no intention of doing anything to Xiaoxiang. How could I possibly have any malicious thoughts towards her? I just wanted her to accept me. It's all that liar Nanami Natsuki's fault; she made Xiaoxiang think I was a dangerous person.
