I went all in on Group C

She had clearly waited for more than ten years and had already given up...

Chapter 121 Summer vacation is over.

Once again lying on Ito Kaiji's back.

Wakaba Mutsu, with many water droplets on his face, put his ear close to his ear and spoke loudly.

"Last orders."

"[Don't leave me]!"

"Okay, [then hold on tight], the rain is starting to get heavier, I need to speed up!"

In a flash, Wakaba Mu recalled that Nagasaki Suyo seemed to have said something similar to her.

[When you meet someone you think can bring you happiness, please hold on to them tightly and never let go.]

Perhaps, Nagasaki Suyo at that time had already anticipated that things would turn out like this.

That's why I specifically told her...

Don't worry about Crychic. We all wish you happiness. Don't hesitate because of us.

【We are your partners and will support you! 】

As expected... he's my partner...

Su Shi, thank you so much for supporting me.

It felt like fireworks exploded in his heart, and joy was like a wildly growing cucumber vine, quickly wrapping around Ruo Yemu's heart.

The rain was so heavy that her hat couldn't block it at all.

But, Ruo Yemu felt that she might... start to like rainy days.

Without anyone noticing, the clock struck midnight, but nothing changed.

Cinderella's magic is still working.

And her [crystal shoes] were sweating all over and were dirty as she ran in the rain.

In exchange for this, she, her master, was well protected.

After all, only with the [crystal slippers] can Cinderella be a princess.

By the way, after running all the way back home, Ito Kaiji didn't even take a shower and just lay on the bed, fainting from exhaustion.

Wakaba Mu wiped his body clean with a wet towel, and then fell asleep while holding him in his arms.

As for the next day, Ito Kaiji's muscles ached all over from yesterday's frantic running and getting caught in the rain. Coupled with a cold and a fever, he spent the entire day as Wakaba Mu's puppet, even unable to control himself and yelling "Mom!"...

Well, due to his strong wish, I won’t mention it here. Miss Ruoye Mu will explain it in detail in the future.

what?

You ask what Nagasaki Suyo was doing on this day?

Uh... Since Ito Kaiji is unable to move and is sick, and he doesn't want Nagasaki Suyo to worry, he asks Wakaba Mutsu to use his mobile phone and his identity to ask Nagasaki Suyo to find Takamatsu Deng to collect information.

The reason was [In order to be a good brother, he must understand his sister well enough. He and Wakaba Mu had important matters to deal with today and couldn't go there in person.]

In order to completely sever the ties between the two, Nagasaki Motoyo naturally agreed to the request, and with her amazing wisdom, she tried to guide them to become real siblings.

I was also worried that Ito Kaiji was being bullied by the Wakaba couple.

Ahem, after that, there’s nothing much to say about this summer vacation.

The main reason was that Kaiji Ito was completely confused by the fluctuations in the stock market, and he was very scared and didn't dare to make any moves.

If Ye Mu's stock price has been hitting the daily limit since the market opened, and it has not stopped until now, and he is not even given the opportunity to buy stocks, it can only be said that he has become more and more like a human from a puppet.

Gao Songdeng, after a week of daily limit, [maintained rapid growth], it seems that this cheaper brother of his is still quite valuable.

Shiina Tachikawa, normal fluctuations.

Toyokawa Shoko's stock price is still on a roller coaster ride. It seems that she is trying to work hard during the summer vacation and then investigate her father's situation when she has time after school starts.

By the way, they met several times during the summer vacation, and Toyokawa Shoko was getting more and more accustomed to calling him "senpai".

Next is Nagasaki Suyo, who is the person Ito Kaiji can't understand the most.

It went up to the daily limit for two days and down to the daily limit for one day. After going back and forth like this for almost a month, it began to stabilize and slowly started to grow normally.

I don’t know how it hit the daily limit, and I don’t know how it hit the daily limit.

One possibility that can be guessed is that perhaps because he was too close to Wakaba Mu, the image of the goddess in his heart began to shatter and he was unwilling to accept reality?

So after [discovering the cruel reality (limit down)] → [convincing myself it was just an illusion (limit up)] → [I can't fool myself after all! (limit down)] → [No, no, that's impossible. I'm just making a fuss. Look, Xiaomu and I have clearly become closer (limit up)]...

...Well, the above is purely Ito Kaiji's guess. He really doesn't understand the reason.

As for his most crucial capital, [Crychic]

It’s falling every day!!!

Most of the stocks that didn't go all-in are rising, except for this one that should rise the most. Although it [falls very little], it is still losing money every day!

Why!

Aren't we all united?!

Even if Ye Mu and Gao Songdeng dislike each other every day.

Even though Shiina Riki often puts pressure on people other than Takamatsu Touma.

Even after Nagasaki Motoyo's bass was accidentally lost, the band has been worried about choosing a new bass, which has resulted in the band not having a single rehearsal this summer.

Crychic is also an extremely cohesive band... That's strange!

Help, how on earth did this band even form and seem to be thriving?!

Isn't Toyokawa Shoko a little too strong as a junior?

The only bad thing is that he was deceived so badly!

Fortunately, he has already spent most of his salary on his cheap sister Gao Songdeng, and now the total amount is increasing every day.

Even though it’s not much because Crychic is falling every day, it’s still an increase!

After all, you can only rely on your own family.

In short, among countless daily routines, the summer vacation ended in such an uneventful way.

...Yeah, the band Crychic didn't even have a single rehearsal, let alone a team building session.

We didn't get together during the entire summer vacation, and basically everyone was having their own fun, especially Shiina Tatsuki.

Ito Kaiji studied hard all day, and the papers he filled reminded him of his junior high school days.

As for Toyokawa Shoko, the only one who did not return to the team, due to the mysterious attraction between them, Ito Kaiji always meets her in various inexplicable places.

Like a bridge with tram tracks underneath, near a vending machine where someone is lying on the ground paying, a food tasting booth in a large shopping mall, etc...

Because they are so closely connected, when Toyokawa Shoko meets Ito Kaiji now, she starts to shout lines like "This is the guidance of fate, my stockings are falling off," which is a bit like the second-year syndrome.

That’s pretty much it, so let’s fast forward to the first day of school!

Chapter 122: School starts like hell.

The first ray of sunlight in the morning pierced straight into the window before it had time to become soft, rudely waking up Ito Kaiji who was still sleeping.

The alarm clock was screaming tirelessly beside him, and each sound was like a sharp needle piercing his dizzy head.

He reluctantly stretched out a hand from the warm quilt, groping for a way to stop the annoying sound. His fingertips touched the cucumber-shaped alarm clock, which felt like a hot potato, causing him to feel irritated.

"Mutou! Why did you get up later than me today?!"

"...Ah, no, she went home yesterday."

I'm not used to it, it's like I've suddenly become a disabled person without both hands.

The person I slept with every day during the entire summer vacation is gone, and I can no longer hear the "Good morning" that I used to hear every morning when I woke up. Yesterday was the same, and I couldn't sleep well the whole night, tossing and turning.

He had been preparing for the entire summer vacation, just waiting to discuss with the Ruoye couple on the last day of the summer vacation to extend Ruoye Mu's stay with him.

In the end... she ran back by herself without even saying goodbye.

I just said, "I can't stay here any longer."

...It was just like when Chihaya Aine left him...

Damn it! We are ready to fight to the death, why did Your Majesty surrender first?

I went to the bathroom to wash my face and tried to wake myself up, but the mirror showed me a sleepy and somewhat annoyed face with heavy dark circles under my eyes, as if I had been punched twice.

His hair was a mess, like a bird's nest, and no matter how hard he pressed it, it wouldn't tame him, just like the chaotic state of his mind. After a quick rinse, the refreshing taste of toothpaste couldn't dispel the bitterness in his mouth.

This disheveled image made Ito Kaiji feel a little nostalgic. When Chihaya Aine went abroad, he seemed to have the same look.

As a result... the whole summer vacation passed, but he didn't grow at all, and he was still the same after going around in circles.

Oh, it’s even worse than then. Ruo Ye Mu wasn’t even his girlfriend. She could only be considered his roommate, boss, gaming partner, sworn enemy, acting teacher, and cucumber-growing partner.

Fortunately, Nagasaki Suyo has always cared about him. When she couldn't sleep last night, she was willing to chat with him until about three in the morning.

She is such a nice person. Although she is not one who stays up late, she is still willing to stay up late with him so as not to put any psychological burden on him. She looks very happy.

She even kept comforting him, saying that it was natural for Ruo Ye Mu to return to her own home. It was not his fault and he should respect Ruo Ye Mu's choice.

She also promised him that she would take good care of Wakaba Mu while they were in the Moon Forest.

These warm words were also the reason why Kaiji Ito was finally able to fall asleep.

Of course, considering that [Nagasaki Suyo can take care of Wakaba Mutsu, then who will take care of Nagasaki Suyo]?

Therefore, I specifically stated, "Sushi-san is also very important. If you encounter any difficulties, please come to me for help."

...Based on the rising stock price and Nagasaki Motoyo's reply, Ito Kaiji felt that she must have listened to him.

That's no problem. I'm just worried that Nagasaki Motoyo will have to bear all the problems alone. That would be like Wakaba Mutsu before. The pressure will become greater and greater, and the final explosion will be very tragic.

After tidying up his appearance a little to look more energetic, he watered the cucumbers, put on the [Yuqiu] school uniform, and took the school bag with three kinds of pendants: [cucumber], [penguin], and [heart].

Kaiji Ito is preparing to go pick up his step-sister and go to school together.

Towards the empty room, I shouted, "I'm leaving."

But this time, there would be no voice at home that could respond to him, just like the stock prices that started falling after the market opened today.

……

Tram stop.

Since it was the first day of school, there were quite a lot of people there, even Shoko Toyokawa was there.

But she didn't meet up with Wakaba Mutsu and the others as before, but was already on the tram.

Suddenly, when the train stopped at a station, I heard voices coming from all around me saying, "So the young lady from Tsuki no Mori can wear a hat to school? By the way, that hat looks so cheap."

Considering that Wakaba Mu had told her that she got a hat from her pet, the photo did look quite cheap, at least compared to the eldest lady of Tsuki no Mori.

I think I won this prize by using my pet's hand during a lottery at the shopping mall.

And then...she actually likes it so much that she wears it to school?!

With a worried attitude, Shoko Toyokawa tried to squeeze through the crowd to get closer, but there were too many people and she could only watch the tram door close.

I had no choice but to send a message to remind Ruo Ye Mu that even if he wore a hat to school, at least put the hat in the closet and never wear a hat to class!
