Comet Dragon, breaking into the gravity field

He had no interest in watching others work while he sat beside them and enjoyed himself. Ritsu Narose, who was also wearing gloves and a mask, then joined the battlefield.

He also felt that when he and Nagasaki Suyo were cleaning together, Nagasaki Suyo was obviously in a much happier mood.

Since Ritsu Narose had just cleaned one side a few days ago, after he lifted the furniture one by one and asked Nagasaki Suyo to clean the dust in the dark corners, the spacious living room on the first floor was quickly cleaned with the cooperation of the two.

As for the smaller kitchen, it didn't take the two of them too much effort.

After cleaning the first floor, the two took off their equipment and sat in the living room to rest. The amount of exercise was not enough to make Ritsu Narushe sweat, but it was a different story for the girl next to him.

A little sweat slowly flowed down from the girl's white cheeks, and along with the warm tea flowed through her throat from the inside. The sweat on the surface of her skin and moved along with it, shining slightly in the light, and flowed downwards to outline the curve of her snow-white neck, and finally penetrated into the mysterious and alluring ravine.

Suddenly, Ritsu Narose noticed a piercing gaze coming from above.

Looking up, he could see Nagasaki Suyo looking at him with an inexplicable look - as if she was angry, but also as if she was expecting something.

Compared to when she had her hair down, she looked more passionate and energetic with her hair in a ponytail, which almost made him want to lick the sweet sweat on her collarbone.

And next to the few strands of hanging hair, the already pink ears appear even redder.

Just like flowers that have just experienced a spring rain, the petals with a few transparent water droplets are much more beautiful than usual, and make people want to pick them more.

Suppressing the urge in his heart, Ritsu Narose stood up, picked up his tools, and walked up the stairs to the second floor.

When he left the sofa, he heard a faint sigh of regret and relief coming from behind him.

Instead of heading to the study or his own bedroom, Ritsu Narose chose to first clean the storage room which he had not been to for a while.

The storage room on the second floor was an area that Nagasaki Suyo had never set foot in before.

As soon as I opened the door, a gray haze hit me. If I hadn't been wearing a mask properly, I would have choked.

Turning on the light, this relatively small room appeared before Nagasaki Suyo's eyes.

Unlike what she had imagined, although the place was covered in dust, most of the items in the room were neatly organized and stacked in transparent plastic storage boxes.

Nagasaki Suyo once heard such a saying: Every man since childhood has wanted to have a room that belongs entirely to him, which can be regarded as his sacred and inviolable inherent territory.

Seeing the model that was several tens of centimeters tall placed in the glass cabinet, Nagasaki Suyo felt that her impression of Narose Ritsu had changed slightly.

"This is……?"

The desire to perform was instantly aroused. Naruse Ritsu decisively pressed the purple light switch next to the cabinet and then enthusiastically introduced: "This is RX-0 Unicorn, this is RX-0 Unicorn Unit 2 Banshee, this is RX-0 Unicorn Unit 3 Phoenix, and this is Perfect Unicorn..."

"Apart from the color, there seems to be no difference?"

"Because they're from the same series."

Completely unaware that her words sounded like a provocation to some radical chefs, Nagasaki Suyo just glanced at it and then looked away from the layered surface of the model.

Although she wasn't interested in these shiny model toys, Nagasaki Suyo still took the initiative to ask Naruse Ritsu, "Do you like these, Ritsu?"

"As a way to kill time, it can be considered a good pastime."

After saying that, he and Nagasaki Suyo each took a feather duster to clean up the dust on the top of the display cabinet and other places.

When he finished dealing with all this and was about to pick up the broom at the door, he suddenly heard a confused question from behind him.

Turning around, Ritsu Narose saw Nagasaki Suyo staring at a storage box.

"What's wrong--"

When he reached her, he realized why Nagasaki Suyo had such a confused expression on her face.

Because at the top of this locker, there is a tablet with "Ichinose" written on it.

The memorial tablet is also called the spirit tablet.

Even though there's no photo of someone on it, even though the tablet looks exquisite, even though it's been well-preserved, even though Naruse Ritsu can find other explanations...

But when the person being commemorated by the tablet stood in front of it, Ritsu Narose still felt a wave of embarrassment that made his face turn red.

Especially when Nagasaki Suyo turned around and looked at him silently, the embarrassment became more intense.

"Can I take it out and take a look?"

"Please..."

Silently holding his forehead, Mingse Ritsu closed his eyes and didn't want to look at the scene in front of him. He now just wanted to fly to a height of a thousand meters above to calm down.

However, after a long time, he didn't hear any sound coming from Nagasaki Suyo. Finally, curiosity overcame embarrassment, prompting him to put down his hand and look up at the girl.

In this silent room, Naruse Ritsu saw Nagasaki Suyo smiling and looking at the object in her hand. On her fair and pretty face, you could clearly see her eyes slightly red.

124. In every battle, the right tactics are used to unite and the unusual tactics to win.

Good news: Nagasaki Suyo wasn't angry about her early mourning.

Bad news: She seemed to recall some things that he had said to her before.

Like lifespan...

As the waves of joy gradually recede, the reefs hidden beneath the sea surface are revealed.

Ritsu Narose didn't think this was something Nagasaki Suyo needed to worry about, and told her so - but there was no guarantee how much Suyo would listen.

After leaving the storage room, Ritsu Narushe led Sushi to his bedroom.

However, there was no romantic atmosphere between the two. After cleaning, Su Shi sat on his bed to rest, or perhaps to relieve her obviously depressed mood.

Sitting on the bed, she let down her hair that was originally tied at the back of her head, and then she gathered the long hair that was perpendicular to her shoulder blades in front of her body and combed it.

The bright sunlight filtering through the window casts a bright sheen on Nagasaki Suyo's hair, giving it a unique texture, as if transformed from elegant brown embroidery into luxurious golden silk.

However, she soon lost interest in this and just looked blankly at the person she loved beside her.

Nagasaki Suyo knew exactly what her feelings were for Naruse Ritsu.

The memory of the good old days formed a lock that made her open a door to the other person. The feelings that had been brewing for years finally erupted after she met Ritsu Naruse.

Part of her love comes from the natural attachment between lovers, part comes from her inner maternal desire for care, part is similar to a wife's demand on her husband, and part replaces the child's dependence on father's love.

Precisely because they love the same person, Nagasaki Motoyo knows that her love is not as pure as Chihaya Aine's.

If the positions were reversed, Nagasaki Suyo would never have the courage like Chihaya Aine to let Naruse Ritsu meet another person alone at night.

If you peel off her gentle disguise, you will see an obvious fact:

Nagasaki Suyo's essence is weakness.

Because of her weakness, she was afraid of change and tried to reorganize [CRYCHIC] to return to the warm and comfortable team in her eyes.

Also because of her weakness, she tried every means to retain Ritsu Narose after they met, while at the same time accepting the kindness shown by Ritsu Narose with peace of mind.

However, Nagasaki Suyo did not express her intense emotions at this time.

After a short rest, she tied her hair up again and asked Naruse Ritsu when to start the final cleaning. Naruse Ritsu was surprised, but then she roughly understood what Nagasaki Motoyo was thinking.

Seeing the other guest room, Nagasaki Suyo's original idea of ​​arranging things there faded. Reality still hung over her like a sword of Damocles, forcing her to abandon such an insignificant matter.

But it was extremely difficult for her to think about overly grand issues. She was at a loss and could only stay here, unable to do anything else.

With the cleaning work completed, Nagasaki Suyo prepared to say goodbye to Naruse Ritsu.

But to her surprise, Ritsu Narose took the initiative to keep her and invited her to go shopping in the supermarket and prepare for today's lunch.

Nagasaki Suyo, who was in a state of confusion, naturally lost her own opinion. She walked side by side and arm in arm with Naruse Ritsu on the streets on the weekend, and the shyness of adolescence quietly emerged again.

However, this shyness was soon overwhelmed by her desire to win and she took the initiative to ask about what food Ritsu Narose liked.

Walking in a crowded supermarket on weekends, the two people who exude the atmosphere of passionate love easily become the focus, not to mention that they are both handsome and good-looking.

Thus, something unexpected but reasonable happened.

When she saw Chihaya Aine appear in front of her with a box of popsicles, the smile on Nagasaki Suyo's face instantly disappeared.

In fact, it wasn't just her. Chihaya Aine, who saw Naruse Ritsu and Nagasaki Motoyo walking hand in hand in the supermarket, also showed a very subtle expression.

With her eyes half closed, she said to Naruse Ritsu, "Does Naruse-kun have anything to say?"

"Since we've met, why don't we go to the supermarket together?"

Not even a hint of guilt was visible, which made Chihaya Aine give up the idea of ​​keeping a straight face. She threw the popsicles in her hand into Naruse Ritsu's modified shopping cart and naturally took the empty seat to Naruse Ritsu's right.

However, the confrontation between the two girls will not be affected by the presence of a person in between.

"Eating too much sweets can easily cause tooth decay~"

"Hey~ I brush my teeth well every night, so don't worry, Soyo~"

The two sides were shouting at each other, making Ritsu Narose, who was standing in the middle pushing a cart and picking ingredients, dare not say a word, for fear that they would turn their attention to her.

The good news is that when they met Chihaya Aine, Naruse Ritsu's shopping trip was about to come to an end.

When checking out, Chihaya Aine did not mix her things with Naruse Ritsu's, but separated them separately and packed them in the cart after paying.

This is truly an opponent that cannot be underestimated.

Nagasaki Suyo kept a vigilant eye on the other person, raising Chihaya Aine's danger level to a higher level. However, when she thought of some more serious problems, this action that could not affect the overall situation made her lose her mind.

The change in mood also made Nagasaki Suyo look back and re-examine her plans.

So she made a decision.

Leaving Ritsu Narose standing there waiting, Nagasaki Suyo used the excuse of buying a drink to stand alone in front of the counter of the drink shop with Chihaya Aine.

After quickly placing her order, she revealed the plan she had laid out in the first place.

It wasn't because she was persuaded by Chihaya Aine, nor was it because she simply liked music - her only goal from the beginning to the end was to reorganize [CRYCHIC].

In her original plan, Chihaya Aine, as the founder, was never in her reserved position, but was destined to be an "optimized" member.

After speaking out the thoughts hidden in her heart, Nagasaki Suyo finally took off some of her disguise and looked at Chihaya Aine with a hostile look that had nothing to do with tenderness.

Just as she expected, Chihaya Aine froze in her tracks upon learning the truth. She didn't react until the drink shop clerk handed her three packaged drinks.

“I actually guessed it right…”

"What do you mean?" Nagasaki Suyo looked coldly at Chihaya Aine who was muttering to herself, and her face became cold again.

Poking the straw into the cup, Chihaya Aine slowly took a sip of the drink before calmly replying, "Thinking about it, from the very beginning when we met in the cafe, Suyo has been hinting at information about Naruse-kun. And then the night we first came to Naruse-kun's house, her attitude was also very strange, wasn't it?"

"Duplicity, full of lies—Su Shi can be quite malicious sometimes... But why would Su Shi say this now?"

Yeah, why?

Looking at Naruse Ritsu standing not far away, Nagasaki Suyo slowly said, "Because I will defeat you fairly."

125. Toyokawa Shoko couldn't understand

Naruse Ritsu had no idea what Nagasaki Suyo and Chihaya Aine had said, nor did she know what she was thinking. But since there was no conflict between the two, it shouldn't be a bad thing.

After Chihaya Aine met the two of them in the supermarket, she naturally ran to Ritsu Narose's house and turned the "Happy Weekend Couple Meal" into a "Weekend Couple Meal (Three-Person Limited Edition)".

Ritsu Naruse has no objection to this, and Nagasaki Suyo, who has exposed her weaknesses and is determined to face the enemy head-on, will not be afraid of this method.

After the lunch, which was more enjoyable than expected, Naruse Ritsu offered to take Nagasaki Suyo home, thus freeing up time to meet Toyokawa Shoko in the afternoon.

Because this afternoon was also the time for their band to gather for practice, and Ritsu Narose planned to use this time to find Shoko Toyokawa after get off work.

That night's conversation was largely successful, and Toyokawa Shoko had somewhat relaxed her guard against him. She also had no intention of letting Wakaba Mutsu continue to be a mouthpiece, so the two of them simply exchanged email addresses and Line numbers.

Perhaps with the desperate thought that "my part-time job has been known to others", she also revealed to Ritsu Naruse where she worked on weekends to make it easier for them to meet.

In Shibuya Ward, Tokyo, this office building close to Yoyogi Karuizawa Station 8 is where Shoko Toyokawa works.

Carrying a backpack, wearing a beige baseball cap and a black and white outing suit, Ritsu Narose stood in the shadow of the building and waited silently.

It was four o'clock, and several minutes later, he saw the figure that he had only met once but had left a deep impression on him appear in his sight.

Most workers who have just got off work are reluctant to speak up - especially Shoko Toyokawa, who has just finished her customer service job and witnessed the diversity of humankind.

Considering that the two of them were not that familiar with each other, Ritsu Narose simply confirmed their destination again and didn't say much.

He and Toyokawa Shoko couldn't possibly go to the Ring at this time, otherwise they would be arrested on the spot. Aside from Chihaya Aine and Kaname Rakuna, if the other three saw Toyokawa Shoko, who knows what unpleasant things might happen.

Besides, Shoko Toyokawa, who had been avoiding contact with them, would definitely not agree to go there.

Therefore, Ritsu Naruse and Shoko Toyokawa chose to take the tram to Bunkyo Ward, which is adjacent to Toshima Ward, to find the shopping street with more than eighty stores.

The Yuze Coffee Shop that he and Wakaba Mutsu had visited before, and the livehouse called "Galaxy" that they are looking for now are both located here. It is also said that two well-known bands, Poppin'Party and Afterglow, often perform here during events.

It is truly a "place of great beauty and prosperity (band limited edition)"!

Come to think of it, it seems like an event is being held today.
