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

"Today... Ah! What's the date today?!"

"Uh, number 10."

"Oh no, I forgot something more important when I got so excited!"

The happy thing should be the important anniversary of meeting Xiaoyue for 10 days, right? As for the more important thing... maybe I'm going to be late for work.

"It's alright, I'll handle it."

"……solve?"

Under Nanami Natsuki's bewildered gaze, Nagasaki Motoyo took out her phone, found the RiNG receptionist's number, and dialed it.

"Hello, I'm Nanami Natsuki's friend, you know... Natsuki is sick today and can't go to work."

"Okay, thank you then. I'm really sorry."

"..." After hanging up the phone, Nagasaki Motoyo winked at Nanami Natsuki, whose pupils were wide with joy, and gave her an OK sign. "It's all settled. Natsuki, you don't need to go anywhere today. I'll make sure you have the most unforgettable day of your life."

“…Sister Su Shi”.

"Ok?"

"Could you... step out for a moment?"

"what happened?"

"It's nothing, you can go out for a bit."

Under Nagasaki Motoyo's somewhat puzzled gaze, Nanami Natsuki shoved the big, idiot sow out, then quickly locked the door leading to the corridor, along with the glass sliding door to the balcony.

"No... I have to call Lixi right away..."

"..."

"Damn it! Why didn't they answer?!"

Chapter 51 Xiaoyue, turn around quickly, I can't hold back anymore (1/2)

Nanami Natsuki now knew why she couldn't get through to Riki on the phone.

Because... Lixi is currently in a state of severe self-doubt. She must feel that calling her would be mocking her for faking her leave today, or that calling her would further induce her to do things that Lixi considers "not right".

"I've dug myself a hole... Damn it."

Nanami Natsuki glanced at her emotional points balance in her account; it wasn't a lot, nor was it a little less, just over 800 points.

Because transplanting personality fragments "exhausted" into Su Shi would consume a lot of emotional points over a long period of time, she only transplanted them for about 24 hours.

Of course, it's not due yet, but this kind of drowsiness isn't the kind that makes you sleep until you die. Su Shi has been sleeping since yesterday morning until just now, and she doesn't seem like she's going to fall asleep again.

"Xiaoyue, are you changing clothes? Honestly... is it really necessary for me to leave first? I'm not going to do anything to you while you're taking off your clothes... eh?"

As Nagasaki Motoyo spoke outside, she realized that she was starting to ramble again.

It was so close, so very close... she almost said some lines that were inappropriate for children.

However, what struck her as odd was that the little girl inside seemed not to have heard her at all. After she finished speaking, she didn't reply with a single word as usual, nor did she open the door for her.

Nagasaki Motoyo tentatively placed her hand on the doorknob and then slowly turned it.

It's locked...

Suddenly, Su Shi felt a sense of tension, as if her secret had been discovered. After all, Nanami Natsuki had never done anything like this before, especially considering her "performance" on the balcony just now, which seemed like a battle between her left and right brains.

If Xiaoyue had already seen those things... then it seems perfectly normal for the other party to react this way.

"Xiaoyue, have you... discovered it?"

"Wh-what?"

Nagasaki Motoyo placed her hand on the door panel, listening to the sound some distance away. She seemed to want to put her hand directly through the door and then hold Xiaoyue's hand.

In fact, she could have done it. Of course... she didn't have any superpowers to walk through walls. It was just that as a half-owner of the house, she naturally had a spare key to Xiaoyue's room.

But opening the door with a key now might scare that soft, cuddly girl, who's like a little animal.

"Xiaoyue... I'm sorry, I don't know why I became like this. I admit, I did have a strong thought in my head, and I couldn't resist the temptation to do a series of very excessive things to you."

"..."

"Are you afraid of me, Xiaoyue?"

"I do not have."

Nanami Natsuki would naturally not admit that she had some fear of the absolute difference in their physical strength. Admittedly, she could cheat by stripping Sue of all five senses and running away in advance.

The problem is that the deal she made with Motoyo wasn't fully completed yet. After Motoyo regained her memories, she should tell Toyokawa Shoko what happened to her.

Of course, there is another crucial reason: if she couldn't use herself as bait to evoke strong emotions in Su Shi, then wouldn't all the effort and emotional points she spent to facilitate this deal have been a complete loss?

She wanted to live and pay off the loan for the resurrection service from her cheat code as soon as possible. Compared to dying again... Su Shi couldn't possibly strangle her to death, could he?

Putting aside the issue of the rule of law in society... just because she's so cute, who could possibly have the heart to actually kill her?!

“You don’t need to lie to me anymore, Xiaoyue… I know that for any normal person, someone like me—someone who closes off their memories and has some personality split—would definitely provoke fear and resistance in others.”

"I'm already very touched that you didn't call the police or seek help from others... Instead, you chatted with me like this."

"..."

"Xiaoyue, if this makes you feel safer, I don't mind if you lock your door and hide from me. I can even give you a spare key."

"W-what? A spare key?!"

"Um……"

A knowing smile suddenly appeared on Nagasaki Motoyo's bitter and self-reproachful face. She knew it... this silly girl hadn't considered that she had a spare key.

However, the reason Su Shi had to say all this in advance was because she was really scared.

Yes, Xiaoyue was afraid of her, and she was also afraid of herself.

She didn't know if she could control the increasingly intense rage in her heart, but she knew very well... she truly cherished this hard-won and precious friendship.

Xiaoyue is the only friend with whom she has truly shared all her secrets, and their relationship can even be seen as a different kind of "family" than just friends.

This relationship arose from a series of coincidences arranged by fate; she... longed for the company of family and friends, and so did Xiaoyue.

That's why they became so close. In just ten days, she, who was somewhat unhealthy, was able to elevate their relationship from simple friendship to "family," and even... attempted to develop it into an even more forbidden romantic relationship.

"Xiaoyue, wait for me a moment, I'm going to get your room's spare key."

"Um, Sister Su Shi, you..."

"Don't worry, Xiaoyue, I'll leave the key at your room door, and then my people will come to the balcony outside your room. The balcony door doesn't have a key; it's a physical latch lock, so you don't have to worry about me breaking in from the balcony and doing anything to you."

"I see... Well, that's troublesome."

"……Um."

Logically speaking, after Su Shi made such a suggestion at this time, and Nanami Natsuki accepted the proposal, Su Shi should have felt somewhat disappointed, since it meant that Nanami was more wary of her than trusting her.

But for some reason, Su Shi didn't feel much disappointment. Instead, she felt gratified and satisfied that she had actually managed to soothe Xiao Yue's emotions.

Having made a plan, Su Shi did indeed follow the arrangements she had just made. She found the spare keys for each room in the bedside table of the master bedroom and then picked out the one for Xiao Yue's room.

She placed the key on the hallway floor outside Xiaoyue's room and went back up to the balcony from her own room. But when she saw Nanami Natsuki's pretty face through the floor-to-ceiling window, she suddenly felt a restless feeling rushing to her head, driving her to do something terrible.

Find a way to get close to her... then tie this little girl's hands and feet to the bed and hold her firmly in place...

No, no, no... she can't do that!

When Nagasaki Motoyo came to her senses, she realized that she was pressed against the French windows, while Kozuki inside the room stared at her blankly with wide eyes.

Reason has returned, but not completely.

The only way to solve this problem seems to be... that is to prevent herself from seeing that face that excites her.

"Xiaoyue, quick... turn around, I can't hold back anymore!"

Chapter 52 You brat, get out here! (2/2)

"..."

After her initial shock, Nanami Natsuki reacted quickly, but instead of turning around, she directly pulled the dark curtains next to the French windows shut.

However, after drawing the curtains, Nanami Natsuki couldn't help but mutter a complaint to herself:

"Is this Nagasaki Motoyo going to turn into a zombie...? No, it seems like the moon is full tonight, so to be more accurate, she should be a werewolf."

Despite her complaints, Nanami Natsuki still took advantage of the time to open the door and retrieve the spare key.

"Xiaoyue, I'm increasingly convinced that I've truly forgotten something important. What do you think?"

"How should I know..."

Nanami Natsuki felt a little guilty and gave a few perfunctory replies without saying much more. However, she didn't seem to have expected Nagasaki Motoyo to have such a strong urge to confide at this moment.

However, this is actually quite normal. In the past few days, Su Shi has found many things happening around her that have puzzled her. Moreover, she really wants to tell others about what happened when she went out to practice self-defense these days.

Everyone has a desire to share. For Su Shi, she used to rarely talk about her things, but that doesn’t mean she didn’t want to share. It just means she couldn’t find anyone to share with.

Therefore, she cherishes every opportunity her mother has to take a vacation, listening to her mother's accumulated complaints over the past few days while sharing the good things that happened to her at school.

She was indeed bothered by her mother's infrequent visits home, but she wouldn't say anything hurtful about it. In fact, to avoid making her mother's already somewhat exhausted mental state due to work even worse, she would generally refrain from talking about her troubles.

However, this also made her more sensitive, and she gradually began to worry that if she, who had never complained to others, suddenly said something very negative, it might annoy people.

"Xiaoyue, actually... I really want to go back to the past and find my elementary school classmates. The main thing is, I have a feeling that if I were to go back to the past now, I would definitely behave better. At least... I wouldn't let my younger self feel sad and lonely because of those things."

"But we can't go back to the past, even if I can't."

"Pfft, Xiaoyue, what are you saying? How could you possibly do something like that?"

Nagasaki Motoyo leaned against the floor-to-ceiling window leading to Nanami Natsuki's room on the rooftop, her back to the room, and spoke casually with a relaxed expression: "When I heard what Riki said to me the day before yesterday, I suddenly felt... that she seemed to be talking about me, or at least the me of the past."

"Ok?"

"Maybe I didn't realize it before, but back then I was always afraid of interacting with others. On the one hand, I was afraid of being looked at differently by others, and on the other hand, I was used to being the one who lightened the mood. Because I seem to be the one who is most afraid of ruining a harmonious atmosphere."

Is it because of something that happened when you were a child?

"Hmm... When I was little, I always thought that my parents separated because I wasn't smart enough or hardworking enough. So, when I entered junior high school and entered a new environment, I tried my best to become someone that others couldn't find fault with."

Not only in my studies, but also in my attitude when communicating with others, I try my best to avoid making mistakes.

"You must be really tired."
