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

"You didn't make a single friend during junior high school?"

Have you made many friends?

"……No."

Aside from the members of Crychic, Shiina Tatsuki has zero "experience" in this area, and Hachiman Kairin only had a few conversations with her in middle school; they weren't exactly close friends back then.

However, Li hope felt that he was much more normal than Nanami Natsuki, although comparing himself to someone like Nanami was a sad thing in itself.

"No matter what, we can't really be considered friends... Didn't you say that we could only be accomplices?"

"Heh, aren't accomplices much closer than friends? Think about it, you and your friends don't have any secrets you need to keep together, right? It's precisely because you share secrets that you're together, isn't it? To be honest, I think..."

"Alright! You don't need to say all this... I understand my current situation, you don't need to remind me like this every time."

Wasn't the intention simply to warn her not to act recklessly and not to poke at Nanami Natsuki's tires in front of others? She's not stupid; there's no need to remind her every time. She knows what the consequences will be if her secrets are exposed.

Actually, what Lixi fears most is not that Su Shi knows these things, but that Deng will find out about what she has done.

Although she had made many unforgivable mistakes, these were the ones she didn't want Deng to know about; she didn't want that taciturn girl to be disappointed in her.

However, looking at Nanami, who was quietly eating her lunch, Riki felt a little sorry for this pretty girl.

Nanami, who was still in junior high school, had already lost the protection of her parents and had to handle everything on her own. Perhaps the reason why she didn't trust others was because she had never felt warmth from anyone else.

Nanami Natsuki is indeed a very intelligent person. She can see the problems in everyone with a sharp eye. Even if you try your best to hide them, you can't escape Nanami Natsuki's scrutiny.

This seems to be due to her family life experiences, which made her lack trust in others and overly sensitive to the malice of those around her who coveted her beauty. This is why Nanami Natsuki has the ability to easily see the shortcomings in others. But unfortunately, this girl has never had the desire to affirm the good in others.

"Being your friend is not out of the question."

"Huh?"

"Let me make this clear first, I'm not saying these things because I want to become friends with you and get something out of you. I just think... you're kind of pathetic."

"Is that so?" Nanami Natsuki gave a cute smile. "Well... in that case, I guess I'll just have to abandon my plan to continue blackmailing you. After all, Riki has been pretty good to me."

"You bastard..."

If she could, Riki really wanted to take back all her sympathy for Nanami Natsuki, since this girl always said things that made people want to punch her.

"Are you hungry, Riki-chan?"

"I didn't..."

"You've been staring at the food on my table the whole time. Fine, I'll feed you some."

"No, you... sob..."

Before Lixi could say anything, Nanami Natsuki had already picked up a piece of tender tofu with her chopsticks and poked it into her mouth. Lixi subconsciously bit into the tofu and swallowed it.

"……tasty."

"Does my saliva taste that good?"

"No... can you be serious for once!" Although she said that, Riki, who was already a little hungry, still looked at Nanami's bowl and chopsticks with a somewhat greedy look.

"Never mind, I'm full too. You can use my bowl and chopsticks to eat."

"This……"

"If you don't eat, I won't extend the time you can use your musical talent."

"I'll eat it."

It's rare to encounter Nanami Natsuki in person, and Riki doesn't want to say anything out of line at this time. Besides, she's already been influenced by Nanami to be a bit shameless, so sharing a bowl and chopsticks isn't something she finds unacceptable.

Perhaps the meal was originally prepared for two people, which is why Lixi found that there was nothing left on the plates after she finished eating.

"I'll do the dishes."

Since she needed his help and had eaten his food, Li Xi naturally had to take the initiative to wash the dishes.

These household chores were not unfamiliar to her; when she worked at the coffee shop, she was also responsible for washing some of the cups and saucers used for desserts.

However, just as Lixi was concentrating on washing the dishes, she suddenly felt two restless little hands wrap around her armpits, pass through her waist, and hug her.

"What are you doing?!"

"Isn't it normal for friends to do these things? Lixi, you promised me, how can you go back on your word?"

"But you shouldn't touch me like that..."

Lixi froze, because Nanami Natsuki was sticking to her from behind like a leech. Since the two were about the same height, Lixi felt a hot breath on her ear, which made her even more uncomfortable.

"And friends would never do this, okay?! Get off me right now!"

"What does it matter? Aren't we both girls? It's not like I'll lose a piece of flesh if I touch you. Or you can touch me back?"

"That's really weird!"

"Huh?" Nanami Natsuki exclaimed, somewhat puzzled. "I think Riki has always been a rather perverted person. After all, judging from your memories, you seem to have imagined doing that with Akari, right?"

"You actually went through my memories?!" Li hope put down the plate in her hand, preparing to turn around and intimidate this annoying little girl.

"He didn't even deny it...tsk tsk, Li hope is really a pervert."

"Wait, what do you mean?"

"What I mean is that I didn't just randomly look through your memories. After all, why go through all that trouble when I could just scare you out of it?"

"you……"

Lixi wanted to say that she was just a little excited because her memories were being looked through, and that she had never actually imagined such an absurd and shameless scene. However, she knew that Nanami Natsuki wouldn't believe her even if she told her, so she simply didn't explain.

"Lixi, just think of me as Xiaodeng. If you like that quiet personality, I can be that too, baba baba... Look, I can be a little mute."

"Enough! You're not allowed to insult the lamp!"

Shiina Ritsuki angrily shoved Nanami Natsuki, but knowing that she was physically weak, she didn't use too much force. "If you really want to be friends with me, don't always joke about things that other people care about!"

"Sorry……"

"...Huh?"

Nanami Natsuki lowered her head, looking pitiful, and her voice trembled with tears. "I really want to be friends with Riki, but I don't know how... I want to get your attention, I want to use this method so that you can't ignore me... I'm sorry, I don't want to do this either, but I really don't know how."

"Nanami...are you alright? Don't, don't cry."

Li hope really couldn't stand this, not to mention that Nanami Natsuki was right. This girl really lacked experience in interacting with people normally. Was he too harsh just now?

"Don't be like that... I didn't say I wouldn't be friends with you, as long as you don't go too far in the future."

Shiina Riki was a little flustered. She wiped the water off her hands with a dry cloth, then walked up to Nanami Natsuki and tried to hug her gently.

But just as their bodies touched, and Riki's face was close to Nanami Natsuki's, the little guy in front of her suddenly raised his face, which showed no sign of frustration, and then quickly kissed her lips.

Then, in the instant that Riki was stunned, Nanami Natsuki escaped from Riki's embrace, running towards the entrance while calling out cheekily:

"Wuhu~ I'm awesome, Gao Songdeng~ Hehehehe~"

"..." Li hope could no longer bear it and instantly chased after Nanami Natsuki, shouting as he ran, "Aaaaaaah!!! I'm going to kill you!"

What are you doing?

Just as Riki was chasing after Nanami Natsuki with a frying pan, Nanami Natsuki suddenly pulled open the door to the house, and happened to run into Nagasaki Motoyo, who had witnessed everything but "just happened" not to have heard what had just been said.

"Su Shi, Li hope is going to hit me."

"Shiina Tatsuki! What are you doing?!"

"No... Su Shi, let me explain..."

Nanami Natsuki added fuel to the fire, saying, "I don't know what happened to Riki, she suddenly wanted to kiss me... When I refused, she got angry and said she would tie me up..."

"Shut up!!!"

Has this guy never been beaten before? Isn't he afraid that if he gets pushed too far, he'll spill all the secrets between the two of them?!

"Lixi! You've gone too far!!!"

Su Shi blocked Riki's path, hiding the smug Nanami Natsuki behind her, and looked at Shiina Riki with shock and anger at her for doing such an absurd thing.

Actually, she had always felt something was strange before, as if there was some secret between Lixi and "Xiaoxiang" that she didn't know about, and that was also the case when the mutual aid group was established that day.

Even though I only mentioned that Xiao Xiang's talent had been taken away, Li hope seemed extremely upset and agitated, and even tried her best to deny it in front of me.

At the time, she didn't think much of it, but now it seems... Lixi probably wanted to prove her innocence to Xiaoxiang.

Furthermore, considering that Li hope had previously vowed not to forgive Xiao Xiang, but immediately changed his attitude after the two met, the difference between his previous and subsequent behavior, coupled with Li Xi's eager attitude towards Xiao Xiang when Crychic was still around, makes it not hard to imagine the reason behind it.

But... is this right? Is this still a girl band? How did their Crychic become like this?!

As members of the mutual aid group, look at how normal Mikasa's attitude towards Sho is! And look at you, Shiina Tatsuki?

How utterly shameless!

"...'Xiangzi,' are you sure you want to do this?"

Shiina Riki seemed to have forgotten her purpose in coming here to find Nanami. She was now feeling extremely irritable. Being toyed with by Nanami Natsuki time and time again made her want to take the girl right there and now.

"You dare threaten Xiao Xiang!"

"Nagasaki Motoyo... are you stupid?!"

All I know is that you did something you shouldn't have done!

"Hmph... You forced me to do this, Nanami..."

“What Seven Seas…” Su Shi frowned; she felt something was off.

However, Shiina Riki didn't care about any of that. She had already reached her limit. Since losing her talent, her emotions were extremely unstable, like a powder keg that could explode at any moment.

Now that's settled, Nanami Natsuki has taken the initiative to set her on fire. Although she knows that she might be severely threatened by Nanami Natsuki afterward, Shiina Ritsuki doesn't care about that anymore.

"Toyokawa Shoko Toyokawa Shoko... Su Shi, is Toyokawa Shoko the only person on your mind? You don't actually think Shoko would pay any attention to you, do you?"

Didn't you say Xiangzi is in the Moon Forest right now? And that she hasn't come to see you for the past few days?

"That's because of her... no, the one in Tsuki no Mori is Nanami Natsuki..."

"Ridiculous, Nagasaki Motoyo... Do you really think someone like Shoko would wake up so quickly? In the days after your memories returned, did she ever take the initiative to come to you? When you went to see her, she even gave you the cold shoulder. Didn't you say all of that yourself?"

"Have you forgotten everything?!"

"You think all this effort will bring her back to rebuild Crychic? Do you know that even if her talent hadn't been taken away, she would never have come back? Someone like her would never care about these things... and she would never be like this little brat acting, enjoying some non-existent future with you!"

"What personality swap... what victim support group... it's ridiculous! You've been deceived all this time without even realizing it... you're incredibly stupid!"
