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

Who was the person who just said that escaping is shameful but useful?

Although she really wanted to complain about this, Nagasaki Motoyo was still somewhat moved when she saw Nanami Natsuki's determination to seek justice for herself.

It's like when someone has persevered for a long time and no one understands them, finally someone appears who can see things from their perspective, speak up for them, and acknowledge all their efforts.

Anyone would be happy in that situation.

"Moreover, Lixi really went too far. I was curious before about whether she had ever been in a band, so I asked her. She actually... actually said that she had never been in a band at all, and that only those who lack love would see a band as their refuge."

These words were purely meant to sow discord. Riki had never mentioned these personal matters to her from beginning to end, but the wicked witch Natsuki didn't care about that right now. All she wanted was to intensify the negative emotions in Nagasaki Motoyo's heart.

"What did you say?!"

As expected, Nagasaki Motoyo's eyes widened immediately upon hearing these words. She then grabbed the girl's slender shoulders and stared intently into the eyes of Nanami Natsuki, who had spoken those words.

"Hey...it hurts."

"Ah, sorry, sorry." Nagasaki Motoyo finally realized that she had done something very impulsive. "But... why would Nanami want to help me? This shouldn't have anything to do with you, right?"

"because……"

"because?"

Nanami Natsuki blushed and said somewhat shyly, "Because Sister Suze is very much like my deceased mother. They are both so gentle and so nostalgic."

Yeah, he was so nostalgic that he abandoned his own daughter and ran off with the money.

However, only Nanami Natsuki herself knew these facts. Nagasaki Motoyo, who was standing in front of her, naturally had no way of knowing them. Not to mention that Nanami Natsuki had a very deceptive face. Her delicate appearance and watery eyes immediately gave Motoyo an overwhelming maternal impulse.

This child is such a kind little angel.

Of course, in Su Shi's eyes, this innocent little angel was already about to burst out, just waiting for the perfect moment to reveal her devilish fangs.

Chapter 10: First Signs (2/2)

In a tonkotsu ramen shop, Nagasaki Motoyo sat at one end, smiling as she watched the girl across from her slurp down her noodles, as if she were observing some cute little animal.

Today should be the most relaxing day Su Shi has had in a long time.

Although her attempts to talk to Lixi about rebuilding the band hadn't made any progress, she unexpectedly met a very kind-hearted girl who was also willing to listen to her complaints.

"It's pretty ordinary, right... Crychic's past wasn't particularly dramatic; they were just a very ordinary junior high school band."

"Ordinary doesn't mean taken for granted."

"Hmm...that makes sense."

In fact, Motoyo Nagasaki has tried her best to describe Crychic's past in a very beautiful way, but she is also very clear that this disbanded band has not actually left much of a brilliant mark on the world.

All she could do was find the social media account that the five of them had created together and pull out the rehearsal video that she had been saving on her phone and couldn't bear to delete.

However, when she saw Nanami Natsuki so engrossed in watching the video that she forgot to continue eating the noodles in her bowl, Suze couldn't help but smile with pride.

This at least proves that "Spring Shadows," which they created and practiced together, is valuable music, and it can indeed bring some spiritual resonance to listeners who like it.

Su Shi enthusiastically introduced each member of the band to Nanami Natsuki, starting with herself, then Shiina Tatsuki, whom Nanami was familiar with, followed by the somewhat introverted lead singer Takamatsu Akari, as well as Komu, with whom she now had a good relationship, and Toyokawa Shoko, with whom she used to have a good relationship.

She didn't notice the hint of pleasure that flashed in the girl's eyes when she introduced Xiangzi. All she knew was that she had released a lot of stress that night and found someone willing to listen to her vent.

"Sister Su Shi, you really care about them..."

Listening to Nanami Natsuki's words, Nagasaki Motoyo hadn't yet noticed the underlying suggestion in her words. She simply smiled and nodded in agreement, "Because everyone is a very good person. It's just that some misunderstandings have occurred... But I believe that once everyone's misunderstandings are cleared up, everything will return to normal."

"Sister Su Shi, how far are you willing to go for them? Or rather... how far are you willing to go for Crychic?"

"Hmm? To what extent...?"

Nagasaki Motoyo suddenly felt that the topic had become a little strange, and the "little angel" Nanami in front of her was looking at her with a playful gaze.

"To bring back a disbanded band, Su Shi, are you willing to give up things that are very precious to you?"

"Of course..."

"What if it requires you to give up your other cherished memories, your beloved bass talent, or even... a portion of your lifespan?"

Of course, Nanami Natsuki wouldn't do something as outrageous as depriving someone of their lifespan; she just wanted to scare Suze in front of her.

"Xiaoyue...you, why are you doing this again?"

"Ah, it's almost time. Su Shi, come with me to a place."

"what?"

Before Su Shi could say anything, she was already being pulled away from her seat by the girl. Although she could resist, Su Shi also had a hint of curiosity about what Nanami Natsuki wanted to do.

The two left the noodle shop. Nanami Natsuki, without explaining what she was doing, just walked ahead, while Suze, wanting to satisfy her curiosity, quickly followed behind.

The time is 7:50 PM on March 24th. This is the time when Nanami Natsuki will automatically return to her original body three days after taking away the two negative personality traits from Toyokawa Kiyoko.

As the person whose personality was altered by her, Nanami Natsuki was naturally able to pinpoint the other party's location accurately.

"Xiaoyue, why did you bring me to the convenience store?"

Nagasaki Motoyo was completely bewildered. Although she couldn't guess where Nanami Natsuki was going to take her, she never expected that the other party would simply take her to a 24-hour convenience store and then start picking out candies from the shelves near the checkout counter as soon as they entered.

"Su Shi, do you know that cashier?"

"Cashier?"

Nagasaki Motoyo followed Nanami Natsuki's gaze toward the cashier. Hmm... he just seemed like an ordinary middle-aged man.

If the other person were very handsome and had a great presence, Su Shi might have unhealthy thoughts like "Nanami Natsuki is into older men," but the person in front of her... really doesn't have any charm.

However, because of what Nanami Natsuki said, she spent some time observing the other person and could tell that... this uncle should be a very hardworking and studious person.

When a customer pays, the man's face immediately lights up with an infectious, enthusiastic smile, as if he feels no inferiority at all for being just a convenience store cashier at his age.

After finishing the checkout process, the man would immediately pick up the book on financial management and start reading. His concentration made Su Shi feel that this was not a convenience store, but a library in Tokyo.

"Is he someone you know, Xiaoyue?"

"More or less."

"Are you trying to tell me... that even in the most difficult circumstances, I should never give up trying, and that one day I will realize my dream?"

What? Su Shi thought Nanami Natsuki was some kind of bad kid who was good at pretending, and that she had said all those strange things to find a typical negative example to negate all her efforts.

The result was that she found a positive role model and wanted to use this method to warn herself not to indulge in any fantasies, but to know how to persevere and maintain enthusiasm for an imperfect life... Haha, Xiaoyue is really a lovely child.

"Huh? Why would you think that?"

"...Huh?"

Seeing Su Shi's somewhat stunned expression, Nanami Natsuki revealed a mischievous, mocking smile, "In ten seconds, you'll see his true colors."

"Ten seconds?"

"Eight……"

"No, Xiaoyue, what exactly are you trying to do?"

"Three, two, one... Time's up."

"Xiaoyue, you..."

Nagasaki Motoyo wanted to say something more, but saw that Nanami Natsuki had already turned her head back to look at the cashier, so she could only move her gaze to try and prove how unreliable what this girl was saying was.

But she realized she was wrong.

Behind the cashier, the man who had been intently studying financial management suddenly changed from a serious expression to one of frustration.

His brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and the passion that had always been with him vanished. He then threw down the book in his hand in annoyance, covered his head, and began to grumble.

Then, ignoring Nanami Natsuki who was about to pay the bill, the man walked straight to the freezer next to him, took out a large can of beer, and started chugging it down.

"???"

No, what's going on here... Did they conspire with Nanami Natsuki to put on an act in front of her? But what's the point of this whole thing?

Surely she couldn't possibly believe that the man in front of her had actually undergone a complete personality reversal, and then say that the person who caused all these changes was Nanami Natsuki, who had spent the whole night chatting with her about Crychic, right?

"Su Shi, do you know who he is?"

"That's enough, Xiaoyue... This kind of prank is a bit too much..."

"His name is Toyokawa Kiyoko, who is also Toyokawa Shoko's father~"

"..."

Chapter 11 I really should control you better! (1/2)

"Huh? No... how could he possibly be Xiao Xiang's father?"

That's so illogical. She knows how wealthy the Toyokawa family is. No matter what, Xiaoxiang's father wouldn't be reduced to a convenience store employee, right?

The idea that the Toyokawa family has declined is even more absurd; the TGW Group is still thriving.

"Toyokawa Kiyotaka! What are you doing during work hours?!"

"...I don't want to do this anymore."

"What are you talking about? Didn't we agree on this yesterday? Are you already tired?" A man who looked like the convenience store owner came out from behind, gave Nanami Natsuki an apologetic look, and then began to berate Toyokawa Kiyokazu.

However, he seemed to underestimate how arrogant Xiang's father was. No matter what he said, the man only meant one thing: he didn't want to do it anymore.

Nagasaki Motoyo frowned repeatedly at this scene, for she had indeed heard the man's name: Toyokawa Kiyoyuki.

Although it's impossible to confirm whether the other person is Xiaoxiang's father or not, if this person really is... then what exactly happened to the Toyokawa family?

Was Xiao Xiang's departure from the band also due to this incident?

"Seven... Seven Seas... Do you know something?"

Nagasaki Motoyo caught up with Nanami Natsuki, who had already left the convenience store and gone outside. She grabbed the girl's arm and looked intently at the girl, whom she didn't know how to evaluate.

"How would I know about the Toyokawa family's affairs? I don't care about these things."

"Then why did you bring me here, and even say... that person is Xiao Xiang's father?"

"I just want to tell you that the reason he became like that is all my fault."

"...Are you saying that you turned Xiaoxiang's father into a cripple, and that you're trying to destroy the entire Toyokawa family in this way?!"

"Huh? Why would you think that?"

Is she really that bad? And what good would it do her to bring down the Toyokawa family? Could she take over their business or what?

Besides, that's the kind of person Xiang's father is. What do you mean she caused the other person to turn bad? She's the one who caused them to turn good!
