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

But when Nanami Natsuki's fingers pried open that last line of defense, Aine finally panicked a little.

"Xiaoyue... Stop making jokes like that, it's weird."

“There are even stranger things.”

After saying this in her mind, Nanami Natsuki smiled to herself, then thrust two fingers into Aine's vagina. This caused Aine, who was lying on the bed, to widen her eyes instantly and instinctively squeeze her legs together.

"what!!!"

"Xiaoyue, what are you doing?! This isn't funny! You've gone too far... Waaah... You have to apologize to me!"

Why?

Looking at the pitiful-looking pink-haired girl and the silly look in her eyes, Nanami Natsuki smiled even more innocently.

"Why are you being so mean to me, Aine-chan... If you're angry, then I'll lie down and you can do this to me!"

"Xiaoyue, you..."

"Hehe, Aine-chan is so cute."

Nanami Natsuki held Aine's neck with her left hand while continuing to stir silently with her right hand until Aine was overwhelmed by the strange sensation and almost crashed. Only then did she remove her fingers.

However, Aine continued to cry silently. Even when Nanami Natsuki tried to comfort her, the girl pushed her away, as if she didn't want to pay any attention to Nanami.

Finally, seemingly exhausted from crying, Aine realized that she and Nanami Natsuki had done something they shouldn't have, even though she hadn't sensed any warning from beginning to end.

"...I'm going back now."

Aine wiped her nose, her eyes darting evasively towards the window beside Nanami, seemingly unsure how to face this apprentice who had just declared they would be lifelong friends.

“Hmm.” Nanami Natsuki nodded, then put on a pre-prepared apologetic expression. “I’m sorry, Aine-chan. I didn’t know that kind of thing shouldn’t be done. I thought… it was a normal intimate act.”

Please don't hate me, okay?

"I...of course I won't...as long as you apologize, Xiaoyue, I will understand you."

"Really? Aine-chan, can you really forgive me? But... when friends make mistakes, shouldn't the one who made the mistake be tied up and spanked?"

"...Huh?"

Chihaya Aine stared at the girl in front of her with utter shock. "Satsuki, who told you these things?!"

"I...I don't know, because I did something wrong before, and that's how Su Shi punished me."

"Nagasaki Motoyo..."

Chihaya Aine felt a surge of intense anger rising within her. It was all because of that guy... No wonder Satsuki was embarrassed to talk about so many things; it turned out that this child had been treated like this all along!

Losing her parents at a young age made the girl very sensitive, which led her to become the kind of "landmine girl" in the eyes of others, someone who was extremely lacking in love and security.

At this moment, the appearance of Suze completely pushed Nanami Natsuki into an abyss. Wrong ideas and perceptions were planted, and Nanami Natsuki was molded into a problem girl.

Faced with such a situation, Nagasaki Motoyo's final choice was to abandon her?

She immediately found a seemingly more normal replacement, Toyokawa Shoko—this is utterly ungrateful! One shouldn't be like Nagasaki Motoyo!

"Xiaoyue, you didn't do anything wrong, you don't need me to... you know."

"So, does that mean you really enjoyed that intimate interaction just now, Aine-chan?"

"...That's not what I meant. Let's not bring that up again!!!"

"So fierce..."

"sorry."

No, why is it that when it was Chihaya Aine who was violated, she is the one apologizing now?

As expected... every wrong has its source and every debt its debtor. In the end, we can only blame Nagasaki Motoyo for this. After all, that woman is such a mean person, and she doesn't usually give us a very nice look!

The fact that they didn't even call to ask why she hadn't practiced after she'd been gone for so long speaks volumes...

Emotional abuse, oh emotional abuse, the most poisonous thing is a woman's heart. Nagasaki Motoyo, who seemed like a gentle girl at first glance, actually had such a vicious and twisted heart, and even corrupted Satsuki...

No wonder she felt that Nagasaki Motoyo's attitude towards Toyokawa Shoko was... something else. Having seen things in England, Aine was now completely certain that Nagasaki Motoyo was a perverted woman. She first targeted Satsuki, and after she got tired of her, she kicked her aside and went to seduce other girls.

She's definitely a scumbag.

Why is it that people outside the band don't have a high opinion of each other? It's all because of bad apples like Su Shi who have ruined the reputation!

“Xiaoyue, actually, what you just said and did were both wrong. I don’t know what Su Shi used to explain it to you, but... true friends are not like that at all.”

"Yeah......"

"Of course, that kind of behavior... would be considered excessive by any normal person. By the way, have you ever done anything like that to anyone else?"

"No, because Aine-chan is the only person who's ever been this nice to me."

"Waaaaah... Why am I so unlucky?"

"what?"

"It's nothing." Aine wiped away non-existent tears. "Anyway... Xiaoyue, you should believe me now, right? If you believe me, then don't do that again. Hugging is normal, but you can't... you can't touch other people's private parts like that."

"Oh......"

"It's good that you understand. I didn't mean to blame you." Aine said a little shyly. "Anyway, I'm still very happy today. Xiaoyue, you should practice your guitar a lot, and so should I..."

After saying that, Aine gritted her teeth and walked out of the bedroom. Finally, under the watchful eyes of Nanami Natsuki, she walked to the entrance, pushed open the door, and went out.

Of course, what she didn't see was that shortly after she left, Nanami Natsuki in the house let out a smug, maniacal laugh typical of a little devil.

"Aine-chan, you can't escape..."

Humming a cheerful tune about spring day, Nanami Natsuki took out her phone and sent a message to Mutsu. After comforting the two of them, she called Toyokawa Shoko.

This time, the call seemed to connect much more slowly. Nanami Natsuki glanced at the other person's location and realized that Xiao Xiang was probably trying to find a secluded place to talk to her alone, away from the other people in the recording studio.

"Hello? Natsuki?"

"Xiao Xiang, you've really gone too far."

"...Huh?" Xiangzi's voice trembled slightly on the other end. "What...what's wrong with me?"

"Have you forgotten our agreement? I remember I said before that you can't mention Xiao Mu's matter to anyone other than Xiao Mu herself, right?"

"I know...and I really didn't..."

"Really not? Then what about that doll that claims to be Toyokawa Mizuho? Sho, Sho... you really had something up your sleeve. I didn't know you could use spirit communication?"

"What?"

"Fine, if you don't want to reveal it, then forget it. Anyway, my mother isn't dead yet, and even if she were, it would be a good death."

"......this?"

Xiangzi didn't know what to say. She felt the atmosphere had suddenly become a little strange. "No... Natsuki, our agreement is that we can't tell 'people' about it. My mother has passed away, so it definitely doesn't fit that rule!"

"Why doesn't it count? Isn't your mother a human being?"

"I......"

"If you just say on the phone right now that your mother is not a human being, I'll admit you're right."

"...You win."

Although she wasn't trying to express the same thing, Toyokawa Shoko wasn't sure where her mother was, or if she was overhearing the conversation, so she didn't want to say anything that would hurt her mother.

"Natsuki, what are you trying to do? Have you hidden my mother? Do you...do you even know what you're doing?!"

Do you care about your mother a lot?

"What do you think?! Of course someone like you who never had a mother wouldn't understand!"

"..."

"..."

"Yes, I do not have parental love, but I love myself, and others love me too, and I love them too, and that is enough."

"...I'm sorry, I...I didn't mean to say that."

"Hmph, that sounds nice, but when have you ever not done this?" Nanami Natsuki's words pierced Shoko's heart like a thorn. "Shoko, I'm giving you a choice."

"Either I return your 'mother' to you, but if I do, you can no longer interfere with Xiao Mu's 'normal life'..."

"What kind of normal life is that!"

"You know it's not normal? But I haven't seen you actually say that to Xiao Mu. Wake up, Toyokawa Shoko. You're just a coward. You're not like me, who is fearless. You're always worried about things you can't worry about."

"You're afraid that Xiao Mu will get deeper and deeper into trouble, but you're even more afraid that your involvement will only make her situation worse."

"Because you know, those joyful memories in Xiao Mu's eyes weren't created by you alone; they belong to everyone in Crychic."

"But that night that caused Xiaomu so much pain, that period that ended everything, was drawn by you... by Toyokawa Shoko alone."

"Do not......"

Nanami Natsuki ignored Shoko's quiet rebuttal, "That's why you hesitated. You really want to help Mutsu, more than ever, but you're also afraid that if you, as the culprit behind everything, take that step, it will only lead to more bad consequences."

"Here I am~ I've brought you another option besides getting your mother back."

"......What?"

“I will help you solve Xiao Mu’s problem. I will help her get out of all the shadows, but on the condition that… you must let your mother go back to where she belongs.”

"You...you...do you even know what you're saying?!"

"Is what I'm saying hard to understand?"

Nanami Natsuki coldly explained further, "Don't you think it's ridiculous? When a person dies, they're dead. If there really are spirits in this world, then what they should do is follow the rules for the dead, go to where they belong, and do what they're supposed to do."

"She is destined not to be reborn. You should accept this fact. You should even feel gratified and satisfied with your reunion. Then, based on this, do what the living should do—let go."

"The greatest respect for the deceased is to acknowledge that she is gone and you can't live in the past forever... Xiao Xiang, the false future you're hoping for will never come."

"You're talking nonsense! My mother won't leave me... It's all because of you, you witch, deliberately making things difficult for me..."

“It’s alright, Xiao Xiang.” Nanami Natsuki smiled, her voice gradually becoming very gentle, but the content of her words chilled Xiao Xiang to the bone. “You don’t need to give an answer to this decision yet, because I have to prepare a stage for you.”

"Come to my house tomorrow night. I will let you tell Xiao Mu and your mother your final choice."

"...You devil, you're a devil...Natsuki Nanami, you madwoman! You'll get your comeuppance!!!"
