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

"H-What did you hear?"

Xiangzi frowned as she entered the house because she couldn't see where her father had gone. However, when she walked into the living room and saw the note on the coffee table that read, "I went to work at the company you mentioned, Xiao Xiang," she smiled with relief.

However, when she thought about what she was going to say to Chu Hua, her expression became very serious again. "It's about my relationship with Nanami."

"Ah...you mean Nanami is your aunt?"

Chu Hua on the other end of the phone tensed up. She was afraid of hearing something that would break her heart, but she didn't want to tell Xiangzi a lie that would give her away at this moment.

"Hmm, don't you think our house is really messy?"

"I……"

"I'm sorry, it's all because of me that you were threatened by Qi Hai, so you don't need to blame yourself for what happened before. Besides, didn't you help me escape from the company that day?"

"I just did what I could."

“But I’ve never helped you like this before… So, you’re much better than me. I knew it. Nanami was absolutely right.”

"What did she say?"

"She said I was an asshole, a self-righteous asshole."

"How could that be?! I... I would never think that way. Xiao Xiang, you absolutely cannot listen to her. You have to be careful..."

"But that's really what I think now."

"Xiao Xiang, you..."

Xiangzi sat down at the coffee table, hugged his knee with his left hand, and adjusted himself into a more comfortable position. "I'm going to make a new deal with Qihai."

"what?"

Toyokawa Shoko did not intend to tell Hatsuka the specific details of the deal. After all, for her, the best outcome would be to make Nanami target only her.

Even after yesterday's conversation, she's still unsure how she truly feels about Nanami—is it resentment? Or guilt?

It seems like they all have...

However, she remained optimistic. She believed that Nanami had simply been harboring resentment for too long, and if doing this could help Nanami regain her mental balance, she would gradually become a normal person.

"Xiao Xiang...can you tell me how you really feel about your aunt?"

When Xiangzi heard Chu Hua ask this question, he was slightly taken aback. "I... I don't hate her that much, but I do have to admit that one of her statements is that with our twisted relationship... it might be really hard to become friends, let alone family."

"...Huh?"

“She’s right. Our relationship is absolutely undeniable. As long as this relationship exists, my grandfather will never allow me to have too much contact with her. Sometimes I wonder if Nanami’s behavior towards me is just a way to prevent me from developing too many feelings for her.”

Damn it... Why... Does she think I'm willing to acknowledge this relationship? Why do I have to suddenly have an aunt who's the same age as me? Why couldn't Nanami have just been an ordinary person I had no connection with when we first met?!

My life has been completely disrupted by this relationship and this sin that we shouldn't have to bear...

"You know, Hatsuka, I don't know what to do anymore. Maybe, like Nanami said, if I had an ability to remove this forbidden identity from her, I really would do it without hesitation."

"..."

"...Chuhua? Are you still there?"

"Waaah... I... I'm listening."

"Chuhua, are you crying?" Toyokawa Shoko panicked when she heard the sobbing coming from the phone. "I'm sorry, Chuhua, I shouldn't have told you these things, but don't worry... I will always be your good friend. What happened between Nanami and me has nothing to do with you."

"Waaaaah..."

Upon hearing this, Chu Hua cried even louder.

Chapter 65 Beating Xiao Xiang (4600 words)

"Wow~ These days are so comfortable!"

This morning, after Suze prepared breakfast and a quick lunch for herself, Nanami Natsuki finally had some happy time alone.

Just thinking about Su Shi's sycophantic behavior towards her made her unable to help but let out a sly, villainous laugh.

All she had to do was deliberately cater to Su Shi's needs, and she could experience his meticulous care... Where else could she find such a good thing?

If it weren't for the fact that Xiangzi's character doesn't allow her to be too parasitic, Nanami would have planned to dump all her life's responsibilities on her.

After taking off all the clothes that came from the Great Thunder Sow and changing back into her own gothic dress, Nanami Natsuki felt a great weight lifted off her shoulders.

She pushed out the whiteboard that Su Shi had hidden in another small room, and stared at Su Shi's photo on it for a few seconds.

"You idiot, Su Shi, do you really think I'd form a band with someone like you? Just looking at you makes me angry, I'll beat you to death!"

Nanami Natsuki threw a punch, striking the spot on the whiteboard where Su Shi's photo was pasted. The whiteboard crashed backward with a thud. At the same time, Nanami Natsuki, whose face suddenly turned ashen, squatted down, clutching her clenched fist with her left hand and grimacing in pain.

"Ouch, that hurts..."

Fortunately, no one saw Nanami Natsuki's disheveled state, otherwise she would have embarrassed herself in front of those idiots again.

At times like these, what can soothe her wounded heart? Of course… it's the emotional moments she's accumulated over the past few days!

[Currently possessing: 2420 Emotion Points]

Well, it doesn't seem like much more...

Think about it, why hasn't she met her targets for next month? It's probably because she hasn't worked hard enough, or rather... she hasn't been heartless enough.

Actually, the easiest person to anger right now is Su Shi, but Su Shi is a very wicked person. Once you really anger him, he is even more stubborn than Li hope. Even if he knows he can't beat him, he still won't let it go.

Speaking of Lixi, it seems that her main source of emotional points during this period is still herself. These include not only strong negative emotions such as breaking down, self-blame, and anger, but also some emotions such as excitement, a sense of relief after distortion, and transcendence after rebelling against herself...

Hmm, aren't these positive emotions a bit too overwhelming?

However, considering that Li hope is now simply acting on his own desires, he has reached the point where he can abandon thinking and discard most of his rationality and morality.

Nanami Natsuki was able to explain why the other person would have these strange positive emotions.

However, when Nanami Natsuki flipped through the journal again and saw Hatsuka's two emotions, "complete self-denial of her identity" and "jealousy towards Nanami Natsuki," she couldn't help but start sweating.

When Nanami Natsuki saw another major emotional point, Toyokawa Shoko, with emotions such as "the budding of forbidden feelings," "the entanglement of love and hate," and "the relief after self-criticism," the sweat on her back seemed to increase.

These people are just in a band, aren't they? Given the mental state of these soon-to-be high school girls, is this some parallel world of Tokyo, Japan? Could this be some kind of virtual world imagined by a mentally ill person?

Nanami Natsuki felt that her own personality and values ​​were already quite regrettable. She never expected that casually coming into contact with a few seemingly glamorous girls who appeared to have some minor inner conflicts would trigger such a chain reaction.

So, can someone explain to her why Chu Hua suddenly started to be jealous of her?

Also, the object of Toyokawa Shoko's forbidden feelings shouldn't be herself, who was looking forward to meeting Shoko just seconds ago and didn't have much of a sense of crisis, right?

"Dong Dong Dong~"

The sudden knocking startled Nanami Natsuki. She glanced at the clock on the wall; it was only 9:40 a.m., so it couldn't be Nagasaki Motoyo.

Could it be that Xiangzi had told him in advance that he would come to see him today?

"Nanami, your door isn't locked? Can I come in?"

"Huh?"

"Then I'll come in."

Upon hearing Nanami Natsuki's voice from inside the house, and confirming that her trip hadn't been in vain, Toyokawa Shoko immediately pushed open the door and went inside.

"Is this your home...? It's so dark. Are you a vampire? You didn't even open the curtains."

Xiangzi had lived in a similar environment for a few months, but even so, the simplicity of Nanami Natsuki's little home still surprised her.

If the place where she and her father lived was small and dilapidated, but still had some signs of life, then this place now felt like a cage.

An oppressive atmosphere permeated the air, which was strange because if you only looked at the surroundings, you wouldn't find any decorations that made you feel uncomfortable.

But this suffocating feeling that made her not want to stay there was present everywhere. It wasn't until Xiangzi observed the whole place that she realized that the reason she felt this way was because there were no memories in this "home".

"Ouch~"

Shoko, who was only looking around and forgot to pay attention to her feet, tripped over the edge of the fallen whiteboard and then... she fell right onto Nanami Natsuki in a very light novel-like manner.

Because there was a soft cushion underneath her, Xiangzi didn't fall too hard. However, due to gravity, her head hit Nanami Natsuki's neck.

"..."

"Xiao Xiang, what are you doing?!"

"I...I...I didn't mean to."

"I mean, what were you trying to do by hugging me like that just now?!"

"Huh? Did I...?"

Xiangzi was stunned for a moment. She seemed to realize that she had just briefly lost the ability to think. She only felt that the soft and tender touch made her feel very relaxed, so she couldn't help but put her hand, which was originally supporting her on the ground, under Nanami Natsuki.

Get out of my way!

"Waaah..."

Toyokawa Shoko readily complied with Nanami Natsuki's seemingly theatrical pushing motion, and she even suspected... that Nanami was deliberately pushing her so lightly.

But what exactly is she doing...? Who is Nanami Natsuki? She's not even a friend to me, and although we're related, we're not close relatives.

Just because this person showed kindness once after doing a hundred bad things, does that mean I should completely ignore all the evil she did to me before?

Toyokawa Shoko's expression was very complicated. She seemed to be deliberately placing Nanami Natsuki in an adversarial position, but she couldn't help but think... if it were her, how would she face her past self?

"what is this?"

"Wait, that's not for you!"

"What...you tripped me with it and you're not going to show me?"

Shoko Toyokawa somewhat defiantly refuted every word Nanami Natsuki said, then took out her phone, turned on the flashlight, and carefully examined the contents of the whiteboard.

The more I looked at her, the paler her face became, and the more her lips trembled slightly. My heart was also deeply shaken.

"You...you actually want to possess me?!"

"Don't talk about it so pervertedly! Okay, forget about that, didn't you come here to make a deal with me?"

"No, don't change the subject! What you wrote here about taking my place and living my life... is that all true?"

"...Really?"

"You hesitated."

"I just feel like you've seen through me and I don't know how to explain it."

Toyokawa Shoko was somewhat at a loss. She looked at Nanami Natsuki with panicked eyes, her earlier confusion gradually turning into fear. "Nami Natsuki...do you hate me that much?"
