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

"What?"

"I mean, I only played with Xiao Xiang once. The rest of the time, it was my sister Chu Hua who played with Xiao Xiang."

"Hmm, not bad, Chu Hua. It seems you've made progress by being willing to bring this up."

"...Anyway, I can't hide it from you for long."

Misaki Hatsuka released her hands from Nanami Natsuki's neck, but she remained straddling Nanami Natsuki, showing no intention of releasing all restraints on the little demon.

"Now that you've released the emotions you were suppressing and are completely honest with me, why don't you tell me how you felt when Xiao Xiang looked at you with such fear and wariness?"

"I......"

"Go ahead and speak, Xiao Xiang has already gone back, she can't hear you."

Who cares about that anymore?

After giving Nanami Natsuki a disapproving look, Hatsuka reluctantly told the truth, "I was very surprised... and I also felt very scared."

"Yes, Xiao Xiang is also afraid of you. After all, not everyone is as carefree as me and can accept a super perverted aunt."

"..."

"You don't think that because I'm always so gentle with you, Xiao Xiang will treat the real you just as gently as I do, do you?"

"...Where were you being gentle?"

"Don't you have any conscience, Sister Chuhua... Waaah, I've treated you like my dog, and you still think I'm not good to you?" Nanami Natsuki pouted, looking aggrieved.

"You, you, you don't even want to listen to what you're saying?! Are you even human?! You actually think treating me like a dog is being nice to me?!"

"What's wrong with being my dog! I can step on you whenever I want, and you can lick my body whenever you want. Do you know how envious Lixi is of you?!"

"Another pervert?!"

Also, is Shiina Ritsuki, who is always serious and has a cold face at school, actually so twisted inside?

The world is going to the dogs...

"Sister Chuhua, do you know why I keep calling you by this name even though I know you are Hatsune Miku?"

"Why are we bringing this up again...?"

"Because you are the kind of person who is willing to immerse yourself in a false name and not extricate yourself from it~ And you probably know it in your heart, right? One day in the future you will not be able to help but confess everything to Xiao Xiang, but before that, you are not ready."

"...I think so."

"But Xiao Xiang won't accept you. You should have seen that too. Perhaps you're wondering why Xiao Xiang accepts me but not you, or even thinking that Xiao Xiang is just innocent and kind, so the identity of being an illegitimate child is something she shouldn't give up?"

"Isn't that right?"

"Of course not. She was willing to accept me... because she had seen the most despicable and vicious version of me. So... as long as I have any redeeming qualities, she will think that it must be because of her efforts that changed me."

"She will feel relieved and fortunate because of this, and therefore she will no longer have as deep a resistance to me as before."

But you're different...

"What's wrong with me?"

Seeing Hatsuka's stubbornness, Nanami Natsuki's lips curled into a smile that made Hatsuka very uneasy. "What do you think, Hatsuka? Haven't you always hidden all your bad side and appeared in front of Sho with a perfect but fake image?"

"So... you mean, because she suddenly saw this despicable side of me, she couldn't accept it and developed a great fear of me?"

"You could say that. By the way... can you get off me now, Sister Chuhua? Or are you already planning to use me as a substitute for Xiaoxiang?"

"..." Chu Hua hesitated for a moment, but still chose to release the restraints on Nanami. "Then... Natsuki, do you think I still have a chance? Is it possible for Xiao Xiang to accept me?"

"What do you think?"

"..."

Chu Hua didn't answer, but she already knew the answer. The moment she told Xiao Xiang that she was Hatsune Miku, and when Xiao Xiang's first reaction was to focus on Nanami instead of her... she already knew that she might not be that important to Xiao Xiang.

What is this? Fire prevention and theft prevention failed to prevent "best friend"? Natsuki kept giving him advice, but in the end, she herself became a very important person in Xiaoxiang's heart?

What can Chu Hua say now? Can she continue to deceive herself? At that moment... when she picked up the knife, Xiao Xiang immediately hid behind Natsuki, she should have understood.

For Xiao Xiang, Nanami Natsuki is someone who can give her a sense of security, even though... she can suppress this guy all by herself.

Meanwhile, Nanami Natsuki, who had already stood up, smiled as she looked at Hatsuka, who was still very angry but had no intention of fighting her, and then turned around and walked to the entrance.

However, before leaving, the girl turned back to look at Chu Hua, who was lost in thought, and said teasingly:

"Sister Chuhua, do you know what other principles I have besides being very committed to keeping my promises when it comes to transactions?"

"...Woof?"

Hearing a dog bark suddenly come out of her mouth, Chu Hua covered her mouth in horror.

"Hmph, let me tell you, I have another principle: I may not repay kindness first, but I will definitely avenge grievances! Just wait, you golden retriever who dares to ride on your master's back, for the next three days starting tomorrow, you will lose the ability to speak normally. Whenever you try to say something, you will automatically bark."

"Hehe, I'm leaving. If you dare come and hit me, or do anything else that annoys me and I find out, each mistake will extend your leave by one day~"

"Woof! Woof woof woof woof woof!!!"

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

Shoko Toyokawa took a taxi back to the Toyokawa home with very unpleasant and unacceptable thoughts.

Although she no longer needs to worry about non-existent kidnappers at the Toyokawa family's house, nor about being morally blackmailed by Nanami Natsuki in the future, Hatsuka's problem still makes her feel very sad.

"Can we still be friends? I guess... I shouldn't have given Chu Hua any unrealistic fantasies, right?"

Although Xiangzi said he would contact Chuhua afterward when he left, he didn't know how to start a conversation with Chuhua.

She was no longer the Chu Hua he knew before. Not only did she use a fake name to deceive him, but she also tried to make him develop feelings for her that went beyond friendship by pretending to kidnap him and desperately try to save him.

But that was impossible from the very beginning... To Xiangzi, Chuhua was always just a good friend who held a special place in her heart because of childhood memories. Apart from that, it was impossible for her to have any other feelings for him.

Moreover, how could I possibly pretend to know nothing and face Chu Hua as a good friend after experiencing all of this?

"Waaah... I really don't know what to do..."

Toyokawa Shoko looked at the doll placed on her bedside table, a trace of nostalgia and sadness flashing in her eyes, before burying her head in the pillow.

She is conflicted. On the one hand, she complains about why Chu Hua insists on keeping this bad memory of hers. On the other hand, she feels that if she really forgets it, it might be an even more terrible thing.

Moreover, she always had a feeling that even Mu shouldn't be completely trusted anymore.

Even Xiangzi herself didn't know why. Could it be that because of Chuhua, she had completely lost the ability to trust anyone?

Lixi, Sushi... they all have a side of them that I've never seen before.

Li hope goes without saying; her musical talent still lies with the other person. As for Su Shi... Xiangzi always felt that when he met Su Shi yesterday, the other person's eyes were very frightening.

Because... Su Shi's behavior at that time was exactly the same as Chu Hua's behavior before she was on the verge of collapse.

Yes, yes, she really has no way to deal with this crazy reality, right?

Nanami Natsuki is the most consistent person among these people, but the problem is that while others only appear normal on the outside, they are terrifyingly crazy inside. Nanami Natsuki is wicked inside and out!

I can't believe I was clinging to this scoundrel and seeking his protection today... What am I even doing?

"Who should I believe, Mom... If only you were still here... I really don't want to go on like this. I just want to prove to Natsuki that I'm normal, and that everyone else will be normal too. Is ordinary happiness really so unattainable for me?"

"..."

"Hehe, really, I'm so ashamed. I've been crying for a long time." Xiangzi still refused to lift her head from the pillow or go out to wash her face. She didn't even dare to trust her family anymore. If the servants saw her and told her grandfather, who knows what trouble it would cause.

So, who really cares about her? Are they really going to admit that the little witch who's always thinking who's her only support?

But what if she really gives in and compromises, and then Nanami Natsuki suddenly changes her tune and mocks her for being a fool who believes a witch can change for the better?

"...Xiao Xiang, Xiao Xiang?"

"..."

"Xiao Xiang, don't cry. Didn't you promise Mom that you wouldn't cry alone anymore when you encounter problems?"

"Mom?" Toyokawa Shoko murmured a few times, then trembled, the hairs on the back of her neck standing on end. "Wait... Mom, Mom?!"

Toyokawa Shoko looked up and glanced in the direction from which the sound had come. She saw the doll she always kept at home, which was on the bedside table in the dimly lit room, smiling at her.

"Wow!!!!!"

After a scream, Toyokawa Shoko's head lolled to the side and she fainted.

"...So...so timid?" Metis lifted her still-uncomfortable doll-like body, then jumped onto Xiangzi's face. "Ahem...Xiao Xiang? Xiao Xiang?"

"Waaah..."

Toyokawa Shoko groggily opened her eyes and saw her doll reaching out to fiddle with her face. The blue-haired, disheveled girl's pupils contracted again...

"Wow!!!!!"

......

......

......

"...No way? He fainted again? What a useless Xiangzi! He really is a useless Xiangzi!!!"

Chapter 97 It's so good to have a mother, but unfortunately Nanami doesn't (6600 words)

Toyokawa Shoko felt as if she were having a dream in which her doll came to life and spoke to her in her mother's voice.

However, when Xiangzi opened his eyes again, he realized that this was not a dream at all.

The bedside lamp was still on, and she hadn't changed into her pajamas yet. She had only been unconscious for less than half an hour after being frightened twice. The doll... sat quietly on the bedside table, looking at her with "gentle" eyes.

What the heck? The doll has eyes now?

"Mom? Is that...is that you?"

"..."

Seeing that the doll did not react, Toyokawa Shoko felt a sense of emptiness. She began to feel regret and self-blame, because she knew that what had just happened was not her hallucination, and could indeed happen in reality.

why?

Nonsense... Even Nanami Natsuki has supernatural abilities. What's so strange about a doll coming back to life and being possessed by its deceased mother?

But she wasted such an opportunity to talk to her mother, how could she not feel extremely regretful?

"Mom... I... I'm not afraid of you, I just... Anyway, if you were still here, could you talk to me? I miss you so much, Mom..."

"Xiao Xiang, aren't you afraid of me like this?"
