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

As Nanami Natsuki ate the breakfast that Suze had made for her, her mouth stuffed full of food made her look like an adorable little hamster, which made Nagasaki Suze feel a surge of maternal instincts.

I wish I could pull this adorable creature into my arms and bring them closer together.

"Is Sister Su Shi afraid of being bored at home alone?"

"Ah...it's alright, I've gotten used to it."

"Is getting used to being alone... really a good thing?" Nanami Natsuki swallowed the food in her mouth and said to Su Shi with her skillful coaxing technique, "Why don't you go find some friends to play with, Su Shi-neechan? You're so gentle, so beautiful, and so good at taking care of people... you must have a lot of good friends, right?"

"I... am not as good as you say."

Nagasaki Motoyo looked bitter as she recalled her experiences during junior high school, realizing that she had spent most of her time using her so-called acting skills to package herself.

This is also because the departure of her friend in elementary school hurt her too much. After entering junior high school, she did not want others to know everything about her. Unconsciously, she became somewhat wary of others approaching her, and the relationship remained in an awkward position of neither good nor bad.

In addition, after graduating from junior high school, everyone will go to different schools, and some may not even stay in Tokyo, or continue to study at girls' schools. Even if she wanted to contact them... she would feel embarrassed to bother them at this time.

After all, their relationship was based on the existing relationships of being classmates and being in the same club.

"Sister Su Shi, I think you are a very good friend... I never thought you would be willing to let me stay at your house. If it weren't for you... I might have been lonely every day because my little home is too cold and desolate?"

Nanami Natsuki started playing the emotional card, but she didn't have any reason to defend herself. After all, why couldn't she play the victim? If she didn't play the victim now... was she just going to wait for Suze to tear her apart in 10 days?

"Xiaoyue, is no one home at your house?" Su Shi, as expected, fell for the trap and asked with some curiosity.

"Um... Sister Su Shi, do you remember when I told you about my mother's passing?"

"Yes... I'm sorry."

"No need to apologize, because I was just kidding."

"Huh? You...you tricked me?!"

Just as Nagasaki Motoyo was incredulous and wanted to ask for the reason, Nanami Natsuki pressed on while the iron was hot, saying, "Well... strictly speaking, after my father died, she chose to abandon me, abscond with the money, and go to pursue her so-called happiness."

"That's why I think it would have been better if she had just passed away, at least I wouldn't be so heartbroken and desperate."

"Xiaoyue...you..."

Nagasaki Motoyo is a very sentimental person, especially now that she has lost those negative views about Nanami Natsuki, so now that she knows the truth, she can't help but feel an overwhelming maternal instinct.

And she did just that. She stood up, walked to the side of the adorable Nanami Natsuki, and gently pulled the girl into her arms. Feeling the sweet fragrance and soft touch of the little girl, she felt a slight urge to shed tears at the chance encounter arranged for them by fate.

This could be considered sticking together for warmth... or so it seems.

Two similar souls found resonance together, and an unprecedented happiness completely filled Nagasaki Motoyo's heart, which was no longer particularly empty, leading her to simultaneously vow in her heart:

Whether it's 10 days or 20 days, as long as Xiaoyue wants to continue living here, she will never refuse!

She wants to be best friends with Xiaoyue for life...

"Alright, Sister Su Shi, I still have to go to work. I have to support myself..."

"Ok."

Su Shi reluctantly let go of the delicate little girl. Looking at Nai Yue, who was having trouble breathing because of her strong hug, she almost laughed.

This little girl is so weak, she's perfect for being thoroughly tormented...

and many more?

How could she have such a terrible thought? Little angels are meant to be loved and cherished, yet she had the idea to bully them… How sinful…

"Um, Sister Su Shi... could I borrow your phone for a moment? My phone's dead, and I'm worried I won't be able to reach you if something comes up. Could you add me as a friend first? I can contact you anytime once I get to the store and it's fully charged."

"Of course you can, just take it and use it. The password is 7890."

"Uh-huh."

Having succeeded in her scheme, Nanami Natsuki picked up Suze's phone and began operating it right in front of her.

Yes, adding her as a friend was just an excuse; her real purpose in asking for her phone was to make final preparations for the "amnesia" act.

After all, although Su Shi's own memories have disappeared, those "traces" from the past remain in the phone.

Of course, Nanami Natsuki isn't some kind of devil. She certainly wouldn't delete the video that was so precious to Suze. She just encrypted the video, then erased the login history on the Crychic social media account, and finally deleted the chat history with other members of Crychic.

There's no need to delete her as a friend. After all, she learned from Su Shi that the people in the band haven't contacted her for a long time. Even if someone contacts Su Shi during this time, it can only be the Xiao Xiang classmate who has been replaced by Feng Chuan Qing Gao.

Hmm... If Xiao Xiang were to approach Su Shi, who doesn't remember her, at this time, what interesting things might happen?

She's really looking forward to it.

"Then I'll be going~"

Be careful when you go out.

Nagasaki Motoyo watched her "precious daughter" leave like a mother, adding just as the door was about to close, "Oh, and by the way, Yue~"

"Ok?"

"I'll go visit you at your workplace today. I hope it won't interfere with your work."

"Of course not, it's a good thing that Sister Su Shi is willing to come. Ah... I'd better not say anymore, or I'll be late if I delay any longer."

Nanami Natsuki, who had already changed into Su Shi's old clothes, hurriedly ran towards the elevator. After all, if she was really late, that stern-faced, life-chasing Riki would definitely give her a good scolding.

However, just as she went downstairs, boarded the subway, and was about to find a seat, Nanami Natsuki's phone, which had 97% battery, suddenly rang.

Seeing several passengers around her turn to look at her, Nanami Natsuki turned around and got off the subway with a helpless expression.

Making a phone call on the subway is really not a good idea, not to mention that the conversation with Xiaoxiang later might make her sound like she has a teenage angst.

"...Xiangzi?"

"Yes, it's me..."

The voice on the other end of the phone was a somewhat unfamiliar male voice, but Nanami Natsuki quickly realized who it was.

"What's wrong? Is there something you need? If you want it reinstated, I won't agree to it until at least 10 days have passed."

"That's not the issue..."

Toyokawa Shoko's voice on the other end of the phone was bitter. "I wanted to ask you... where is Su Shi living now? You should know, right?"

Chapter 20 Xiangzi: Am I being treated like a swindler? (2/2)

"Huh? Did I hear that right?"

"..."

Shoko Toyokawa suppressed the urge to curse and ignored Natsuki Nanami's obsequious, drawn-out tone. "You said you could locate any of your trading partners, right? So you should know Suze's address, shouldn't you?"

"Of course I know, but... why should I tell you?"

"you……"

"Watch your tone and attitude, you're begging me right now."

"I'm sorry... I'm begging you, can you tell me where Su Shi is right now? I want to see her... at least I want to apologize to her, even if she might not forgive me so easily."

No, you're wrong.

If it were that idiot Su Shi, she would definitely forgive you the moment you apologized. After all, that's the kind of person she is—a fool who would be willing to be teased by a little rascal like her in order to save a disbanded band, and who would also be willing to give up the most important memories for her in ten days.

However, that was Su Shi in her normal state. As for Su Shi now, who has forgotten everything... let alone forgiveness, her first reaction would probably be fear if she saw you, now a grown man, running up to her and telling her things she didn't know.

Even if I told you, would you face Su Shi like this?

"Oh dear... Damn it, this is all your fault!"

"Watch your attitude, you blue-haired little winter melon! You were the one who agreed to this deal, okay?!"

"But I never imagined that the memories and emotions you added to my head would be like these..."

To be honest, even though she couldn't see the other person's face, hearing a grown man on the phone say things that only young girls would say in such a soft and aggrieved tone still gave Nanami Natsuki goosebumps.

"So why didn't you contact them on LINE first? Aren't you band members already friends?"

"Well... okay, in that case, I'll try chatting with her on LINE first."

After hanging up the phone, Nanami Natsuki, who had been delayed by the call, finally caught the next subway train and rushed to her workplace.

Inside the RiNG coffee shop, Shiina Ritsuki, who had arrived long ago, raised an eyebrow at Nanami Natsuki, who was late, and said sarcastically without any politeness:

"What? Not wearing your flashy gothic dress today?"

"Forehead……"

“But this outfit doesn’t suit you.” Shiina Tatsuki wiped the cup and said with a smile, “This style is too mature. Your type of appearance is more suited to sweet girl styles.”

"You're going to pay for my clothes?" Nanami Natsuki rolled her eyes. "This outfit is one I borrowed from someone else's unwanted old clothes."

"...Just how poor are you?"

Shiina Riki muttered a somewhat speechless comment, but she didn't pry too much into the girl's private affairs, since their relationship wasn't particularly close to begin with.

What's more... this Nanami Natsuki was very close to Su Shi yesterday, and she now suspects that Su Shi has already revealed everything about her.

Be careful... she had to be careful. She didn't want to continue talking to Su Shi about the past. The disbanded Crychic was beyond repair, and even to prevent Deng from getting hurt again, she couldn't agree to Su Shi's suggestion.

Nanami, who loves gossip and meddling, and is likely to be discussing some plan with Su Shi, definitely needs to be more careful now.

But the whole morning seemed to be peaceful?

Nanami Natsuki was doing her job very seriously, and because of her outstanding image, the sudden increase in customers kept the two of them busy. Even some people who were not there to participate in music activities at the live house came over to join in the fun and chat with the gossip queen Nanami.

And from beginning to end... Su Shi was not among the guests who appeared, and throughout the entire morning, Nanami Natsuki did not ask her anything about Su Shi or Crychic.

"It seems I won't have to face Su Shi today..."

Unfortunately, this thought was suddenly shattered around lunchtime by the reappearance of the former bassist of the band Crychic.

"Xiaoyue~ I'm here."

Seeing Suze rush to Nanami and hug her as soon as she came in, then take out two insulated lunch boxes from her bag and push them in front of Nanami, Shiina Ritsuki sensed something strange.

Are you ignoring yourself? Do you think that will make you anxious?

"Thank you, Sister Su Shi, it's delicious!"

"As long as it tastes good, Xiaoyue, aren't you tired?"

"It's alright, after all, Sister Su Shi came to see me, and I immediately perked up~"

"Hehe, Xiaoyue really knows how to talk."

What are these two doing? What kind of tactical variation is this? I've never seen anything like it before...
