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

"Huh?"

"Thank you for telling me all this." Lamp looked into Aine's eyes. "Without you, I might never have known that everyone is carrying such a heavy burden."

"Um...this..."

"Can you walk with me for a bit?" Deng suddenly said. "I want to tell you what I'm thinking right now."

"Huh?"

"I...don't want to go on like this anymore."

The lamp suddenly raised its head, and its eyes, which had been as calm as still water, were now burning with a heart-stopping flame.

"Aine-chan, tell me... where is Nanami Natsuki?"

"Huh?! What are you doing, Light?" Aine was startled by Light's gaze. "You're not really going to go find her, are you? I'm telling you, that guy is dangerous! She'll..."

"I'm not afraid."

The lamp interrupted Aine's words; though her voice was still trembling, her tone was unusually firm.

"Since everyone has changed, I also want to see what the real me is like."

"I also want to know, if I open that valve, if I release everything inside me... what will I become?"

She looked at Aine, and a faint, yet relieved smile suddenly appeared on her lips.

"Aine-chan, you said it yourself, right? We're friends."

"Since we're friends, I can't always hide behind you and let you bear everything alone. I don't want to go on like this anymore."

"..."

Chihaya Aine looked at Takamatsu Toki in front of her and suddenly felt a little unfamiliar.

The timid, soft-spoken little lamp is gone, replaced by a strange girl who seems about to break, yet exudes a dangerous aura.

She suddenly realized that she might have really done something incredible.

She personally... pushed a little white rabbit into the wolf's den.

Moreover, this little white rabbit seems... quite willing?

“Okay…” Ai sighed and took her phone out of her pocket. “I’ll send you her address. But Deng, you have to be careful! If that guy does anything too outrageous to you, you have to tell me! I… I’ll come to save you!”

As for whether he would defect to the "enemy" after going there, that's hard to say.

That's why she didn't feel very confident when she said that.

"Thank you, Aine-chan."

The lamp received the address and bowed deeply to Ai Yin.

"Well then, I'm leaving."

After saying that, she didn't hesitate any longer and turned to walk in that unknown direction.

Her figure was still slender, but in the night, it exuded a sense of resolute determination.

Aiyin stood there, watching the lamp's receding figure, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

"Now... everyone's really a 'villain'."

She gave a bitter laugh and looked up at the dark night sky.

Nanami Natsuki, you little bastard... what kind of mess are you going to make of us before you're satisfied?

……

……

Nanami Natsuki's apartment in Minato Ward.

"Ah!"

Nanami Natsuki, who had just finished showering and was lying on the sofa enjoying a Metis massage, suddenly sneezed loudly.

"What's wrong, Natsuki-neechan? Do you have a cold?"

Metis, dressed in a maid outfit, immediately stopped what she was doing and leaned closer with a concerned look. Her lifelike doll-like face was filled with worry; it had to be said, the hundreds of thousands spent were definitely worth it—her micro-expression control was simply amazing.

"It's nothing, it's probably some unlucky guy I tricked who's cursing me."

Natsuki rubbed her nose and waved her hand dismissively. "Keep going, keep going, put more pressure on your shoulder... Ouch, yes, right there."

"Yes, Master~"

Metis obediently responded and continued working diligently.

Metis has now fully adapted to her new identity. By day, she is the cool and mysterious drummer Lin Guzi, putting on a profound act in front of Su Shi and Aine; by night, she is Lady Natsuki's thoughtful little maid, responsible for laundry and cooking (although she doesn't have to eat, she still has to pretend) and providing massage services.

Although it's a bit tiring, compared to before when I could only stay in Xiao Mu's mind as an observer, my days are now incredibly fulfilling.

And... being ordered around by Natsuki-neechan like this is actually quite nice, isn't it?

"Ding-dong-"

Just then, the doorbell rang.

"Hmm? Who would come so late?" Natsuki frowned. "Could it be that perverted girl Riki trying to sneak in again? But wait, didn't she say she was going back to be with her sister today?"

"I'll go open the door!"

Metis volunteered to jump off the sofa and jogged to the entryway.

Through the screen of the video doorbell, Metis saw an unexpected person.

"Eh? Natsuki-nee-san! It's...it's that former band vocalist, Takamatsu Akari!"

"what?"

Natsuki jumped up from the sofa, looking completely incredulous.

"Little Lamp? What's she doing here? Is she lost?"

She had never given Takamatsu an address, and based on her understanding of that socially awkward girl, she was the type who wouldn't even dare to ask for directions, so how could she possibly find her way here in the middle of the night?

"Should we open the door?" Metis asked, turning around.

Natsuki pondered for a moment, then a playful smile suddenly appeared on her lips.

"Open. Of course we'll open. Since the customers have come to us, how can we turn them away?"

She straightened her pajamas, sat back down on the sofa, and struck a pose of a languid housewife.

"Looks like... there's going to be some good stuff tonight."

The door slowly opened.

Standing outside the door, Takamatsu Akari was clearly taken aback by Metis's maid outfit when she opened the door. She stared blankly at the familiar yet unfamiliar "Lin Guzi" before her, momentarily speechless.

"Good evening, Takamatsu-kun." Metis quickly got into character, sporting a standard business smile. "Are you here to see Natsuki-neechan?"

"...Miss Lin?"

Deng hesitated for a moment before calling out the other person's name, "You...why are you here? And this outfit...wait, are you...wearing makeup?"

"Ah, this is work uniform, work uniform. As for the makeup... you can understand it that way if you want." Metis lied without batting an eye. "Also, I'm a live-in nanny here, and being a part-time drummer is just a side job. Come on in, Master... ah no, Natsuki-neechan is waiting for you."

"Live-in nanny..."

The worldview of the lamp was once again slightly shaken. Was that aloof drummer actually like this in private?

But she couldn't care less about that now. She took a deep breath and stepped into the place that Aine called "the den of demons".

The living room was dimly lit, and a faint scent of incense filled the air.

Nanami Natsuki was lounging on the sofa, holding a glass of red wine (actually grape juice), looking at the light that walked in with a half-smile.

"Hey, isn't this Xiaodeng? What brings you here?"

Natsuki's voice carried a hint of mockery, "I remember... we're not that close, are we? And Aine-chan probably already told you what kind of bad woman I am, right? What, aren't you afraid I'll eat you up?"

Takamatsu Akari stood in the center of the living room, her hands gripping the straps of her schoolbag tightly, her knuckles white. Looking at the seemingly harmless girl before her, who in fact controlled everyone's fate, the fear and tension in her heart almost made her want to turn and run away.

But she didn't move.

She remembered Aine's words.

"You're too pure... You don't even have the courage to let yourself become bad."

"She ignores you because you're boring."

No... she doesn't want that.

She no longer wanted to be a bystander who could only wait, be protected, and watch everyone leave.

"Nanami-kun."

The lamp looked up, and those eyes, which always seemed to dart away, now shone with an eerie light. She met Natsuki's gaze directly, her voice still trembling, but every word was crystal clear:

"I want to... make a deal with you."

"Oh?"

Natsuki raised an eyebrow, put down her cup, leaned forward slightly, and a hint of interest flashed in her eyes.

"What do you want to trade? Let me make this clear beforehand. This isn't a wishing well. If you want something, you have to pay the corresponding price. And... I have no interest in boring wishes."

"I want……"

The lamp took a deep breath, as if using all her strength, and shouted out the thought that had been swirling in her mind all the way:

"I want to become...someone who can 'speak out'!"

"I don't want to keep my thoughts to myself anymore, and I don't want to lose important people because I can't communicate them! I want to shout out my songs and my thoughts!"

"Even if it's a curse, even if it's pain, even if it's a sound that everyone will hate... I will shout it out!"

"I want to...open that valve!"

The air fell silent instantly.

Metis, standing to the side, covered his mouth in surprise, seemingly not expecting that the usually inconspicuous little lamp could unleash such power.

Nanami Natsuki stared intently at the lamp, a genuine smile slowly appearing in her glassy eyes.

"Ha...hahahaha!"
