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

"I want Crychic, and everyone else... to never have had any conflicts, to... to have those things never happened, is that okay?"

Wakaba Mutsuki grasped Nanami Natsuki's hand, looking at the girl who could "fulfill" all wishes with a mixture of pleading and longing, and eagerly spoke of the dream that was both the most difficult to achieve and the one she most wanted to achieve.

............

"Waaaaah... Waaaah?!"

Shoko Toyokawa suddenly woke up from a strange nightmare, but she couldn't remember what she had dreamed about. All she knew was that she seemed to be in a situation she had never experienced before.

What's stuffed in her mouth? And... where is she? Wasn't she trying to regain her musical sensitivity by playing the piano at home?

Hiss... Her wrists and legs seemed to be tightly bound by someone she didn't know, making it impossible for her to move. The only thing she knew was that she was in someone's house, specifically in the attic.

A sense of fear washed over her. Was this a kidnapping? But how could they have managed to abduct her from her own home?

"Waaaaah! Waaaaah?!"

Shoko Toyokawa tried to shout, but her voice was muffled. Moreover, she didn't know if there were any kidnappers present. Thinking that her shouting might anger them, she immediately shut her mouth.

Calm down... You must stay calm now.

First, she needs to figure out what happened. If she was at home when she was kidnapped, it means that it was done by a servant of the Toyokawa family.

Indeed... that's a fairly reasonable guess. After all, the servants in the house have plenty of opportunities to do something. Perhaps the snack I ate this morning was laced with something.

However, she couldn't confirm who made it, since the person who brought the snacks and the person who prepared them might not be the same person. Even if she knew who prepared the snacks, she couldn't guarantee that the snacks hadn't been tampered with during the delivery process.

And... we can't be sure right now that it's definitely a problem with the desserts, can we?

Breakfast, water, or even a possible attack from behind to knock her unconscious... Moreover, logically speaking, perhaps the mastermind behind this kidnapping is not one of the household servants she knows.

The maid in the house might just be a tool that was used without realizing the stakes. After all, in the end, the mastermind behind this kind of thing might be able to escape, but the maid would definitely not escape the law.

...No, no, the most important issue now is not figuring out who the kidnappers are, but how to escape.

Xiangzi twisted and turned on the ground, because she was tied up with her side facing the attic stairs, so she couldn't see the situation downstairs very well.

at last!

After some effort, Xiangzi finally managed to adjust her posture. However, to her surprise, when she looked down from this angle, she saw another victim who was tied up and stuffed with cloth – Sankaku Hatsuka!

Why was even Chu Hua kidnapped?!

This surprised Xiangzi, because if the kidnappers were her family's servants, and their goal was to extort a huge sum of money from the Fengchuan Group, then kidnapping her would be quite reasonable, since she was the eldest daughter of the Fengchuan family.

But what about Chu Hua?

Although Chu Hua is a debuted artist, she doesn't seem to be a top-tier celebrity with a huge following, and Xiangzi doesn't remember that Chu Hua's family is particularly wealthy.

and many more!

Xiangzi suddenly thought of a possibility.

If... when I was transported out, I was in the Toyokawa family's car, and to avoid suspicion, I was simply placed in the back seat and made to appear asleep, then it's very possible that I was seen by Hatsuka, who happened to be passing by somewhere.

Suppose Chu Hua stops the car to ask her about Crychic's resurrection, and happens to notice something amiss, then it's very likely that the perpetrator kidnapped her along with the criminal to prevent her from ruining things.

It's highly likely! This must be the truth!

That's why I woke up first, while Chu Hua still hasn't woken up.

"Waaaaah!!!"

At this moment, Toyokawa Shoko didn't care whether she would alert the kidnappers, or rather... luring the kidnappers over was also one of her objectives.

After all, in her eyes, Chu Hua was an innocent person who had been implicated. Moreover, if it could be confirmed that the kidnapper was a family member, then after her persuasion, the other party might realize that they had been deceived and let the two of them go.

With a thud, Xiangzi's struggle caused her to lose her balance and tumble down the attic steps to the ground.

It hurts!

Helpless tears welled up in Toyokawa Shoko's eyes as she looked at Hatsuka, who was only a few steps away from her, and suddenly thought of Nanami Natsuki.

If it were Nanami Natsuki, she would definitely be able to rescue them, right?

Damn it! Why does she always think of that girl when she's in a crisis, or whenever she can't solve a problem?

Is it because, in her opinion, even though Nanami Natsuki has a foul mouth, given their twisted relationship, would she still risk her life to save her after seeing her being harmed?

Why does she always have such weak and shameful thoughts? Why is she still fantasizing that Nanami Natsuki would take such a big risk to save her?

Just as Toyokawa Shoko was enduring the pain and trying to climb down from Hatsuka, the triangular Hatsuka not far in front of her had already opened her eyes.

Chapter 94 Was it you, the kidnapper? Chu Hua! (5000 words)

No! Sister Yue, isn't this a little too tight?!

When Chu Hua woke up, she felt that her arms were being squeezed so tightly that they were a little sore. Because her mouth was being blocked, she also felt very uncomfortable breathing.

That's ruthless...

This would highlight the authenticity of her story and significantly reduce the chances of her being discovered.

"Waaah..."

As another "unlucky guy" who was also tied up, and as the instigator who needed to use the suspension bridge effect to establish a special relationship with Xiao Xiang at this time, Chu Hua reacted quite quickly.

Following the instructions given to her by her beloved Sister Yue before she left, she first feigned panic and struggled haphazardly for a while.

However, worried that her panic would lower her favorability rating, Chu Hua quickly regained her composure after struggling for a short time.

Of course, now that things have come to this, she has to deal with the problem of not being able to speak first.

However, this doesn't seem to be particularly difficult to do. If it were just her alone, she might have some difficulty doing it, but now there are two of them, her and Xiao Xiang.

What's more, Xiao Xiang is so smart. Chu Hua only gave him a questioning look, and Xiangzi immediately understood. The two of them moved around a bit, and soon the cloth blocking Chu Hua's way was pulled off from behind by Xiao Xiang, whose hands were tied.

Similarly, the contents of Xiangzi's mouth were removed in the same way.

"Chuhua! Are you alright?!"

"It's alright... Xiao Xiang, are you okay?"

Oh dear, she is such a sinful woman, how could she still have the audacity to say such a serious thing at a time like this?

"I'm fine..."

Xiangzi's voice didn't sound very good, and after saying that, she seemed quite guilty. She glanced at Chuhua with a very apologetic look and then apologized:

"Chuhua, I'm sorry... for dragging you into this."

"Huh? No... Xiao Xiang, don't say that."

"Chuhua, do you know what the person who kidnapped me looks like?" Although Toyokawa Shoko was terrified that the kidnapper might return at any moment, she still forced herself to appear calm and thoughtful in front of her friend. "You must have seen me unconscious in the car, which is why you got involved, right?"

"I... um, I saw her, but I don't know who she is."

"So it was the maid who did it?"

Toyokawa Shoko keenly noticed that Hatsuka used a female title, which immediately gave her direction.

However, it seems that this is the limit.

Chu Hua couldn't describe the other person's appearance. Based solely on Chu Hua's description, it seemed that anyone could be the perpetrator. Moreover... Xiangzi was indeed unable to think calmly at the moment. She felt like a pitiful person. She even thought that if it were her grandfather, he might not care whether she lived or died.

After all, for my grandfather, profit should be the most important thing to consider, right?

Although saying this sounds self-deprecating and even carries some obvious resentment, Xiangzi truly felt that she could not rely on anyone from the Toyokawa family at this moment.

Thankfully... thankfully I wasn't the only one tied up.

A rather sinful thought suddenly arose in Toyokawa Shoko's heart. Looking at Hatsuka's delicate face so close to her, an unprecedented sense of security seemed to sprout in her heart at this moment.

She wasn't fighting alone; at least... Chu Hua was still here with her, wasn't she? But why did she have such thoughts? Why, after her friend fell into trouble, did she feel little remorse for being implicated because of her, but instead felt a sense of relief?

"Xiao Xiang, don't worry... I'll find a way to save you."

"Chu Hua, I'm sorry."

"...Huh? What are you sorry for?"

"No, it's nothing." Xiangzi shook her head. How could she explain those intense, sinful thoughts that had just flashed through her mind?

"Xiao Xiang, we'd better figure out a way to untie the ropes binding us... It's a bit difficult for the two of us to untie each other on our own. Let me think of something."

"..."

Xiangzi remained immersed in a state of intertwined guilt and fear. She seemed to be driving herself into a dead end, feeling both despair and resentment towards herself for not being able to handle so many things properly.

She watched silently as Chu Hua paced back and forth in the middle of the living room, seemingly searching for a way to rescue herself, as if she were slowly giving up the right to think for herself.

Yes... isn't she just such an incompetent person?

In this situation, besides causing trouble for others and making them constantly sacrifice for her, what else can she do? Natsuki's words about her were absolutely right... Besides taking advantage of others' kindness and enjoying their convenience, what has she done that is truly good for her friends?

Why? Why is her little bit of cleverness completely useless at this point? Why is it that at this point she even thinks it would be better if there were one more Nanami Natsuki among those who are tied up?

Could it be because she knew that Nanami Natsuki had many ways to help them escape after the kidnappers returned to the crime scene?

For example, could you alter the kidnapper's memory so that they believe the next step is to save her instead of threatening her family by phone? Or could you switch personalities with the kidnapper so that you can easily rescue them as an adult woman?

For example... well, there are just too many methods. Just based on Xiangzi's rudimentary understanding of Nanami Natsuki's abilities, he has already thought of many possibilities that could save them instantly.

Natsuki... Why couldn't you use your location tracking ability to detect the anomaly in my position at this time?

Didn't you say I'm a pathetic wretch who only relies on you? In that case... let me truly become that kind of useless person who can gain security by giving up thinking!

Meanwhile, Sanjiao Chuhua, who had already moved entirely into the kitchen, was unaware that her earnest performance hadn't even caught someone's eye. She was still struggling to move her body, pretending to be ready to do anything for Xiaoxiang while searching for a knife to cut her rope.

Damn it... Couldn't you have left a fruit knife for peeling apples on the coffee table in the living room?

Well, that seems a bit too far-fetched, too deliberate.

Well, even though she looks a bit disheveled now, doesn't that better highlight her love for Xiao Xiang?

"Chu... Chu Hua? What are you doing?"

Xiangzi, who was in the living room, seemed to have just noticed that Chuhua had silently moved to the kitchen, which was several meters away from her, and was now kicking her legs and banging her body against a movable table in the kitchen.

"I must save Xiao Xiang..."

"Save them? How can we save them...?"

With a loud bang, as Chu Hua made another impact, the knife placed on the edge of the table was knocked away from its original position and came straight at Chu Hua below.

"what!!!"

Amidst Xiangzi's exclamation, Sankaku Hatsuka, her pupils dilating and her face filled with panic, frantically dodged the falling fruit knife.
