MyGO!!! I am the succubus Xiaoxiang?

That's right!

"Come!"

"what!"

Xiangzi's call came again, but Chuka, whose mind was full of Saki-chan, suddenly realized that this time there was a sense of anticipation in his voice, an anticipation of joy.

However, my brain had already turned into mush.

There was no time to think. He opened his mouth and let Xiangzi put the food in, then instinctively took a big bite.

"Well!"

Too much flexibility or hardness makes your teeth feel uncomfortable.

She instinctively covered her face and looked at Xiangzi.

"Saki-chan?"

However, what I saw was Xiangzi covering his mouth and chuckling. When I looked over, I couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Even if it's just mush, the brain still understands.

I was the one who got pranked.

The culprit was right in front of her, sticking out her tongue slightly, looking apologetic and saying, "I'm sorry, but I'm cute, so I'm cute, you'll forgive me, right?" Her eyelashes kept slapping her rosy cheeks as she laughed, and even her dimples couldn't hide her sly smile.

"Saki-chan!"

"Sorry, Chuhua, hehehe! I tried the steak well-done, and I didn't expect it to be so hard to chew. Suddenly I thought, hehehe, the key is that Chuhua is too cute, she was completely unprepared, so, so I wanted to tease her a little. She's too cute! If such a cute Chuhua looks at me with such a wronged expression, then..."

Xiangzi kept apologizing.

It's just that her laughter is like silver bells, and the blue butterflies flutter up and down with her movements.

"Eh?"

Xiangzi looked at Chuhua, who picked up the uneaten steak and tried to stuff it into his mouth.

It's like wanting Xiangzi to keep laughing.

just.

"No, you can't!" Xiangzi stopped Chuhua.

"Friend, that's not how it is!"

Looking at the bewildered Chuhua, Xiangzi confirmed again and again that the other person really didn't have any friends!

Holding Chu Hua's hand, she picked up a piece of ketchup and used it to draw little by little on her face.

Once, twice, three times, once on each side.

A cat's whiskers drawn with ketchup appeared on Xiangzi's face.

Xiangzi took a sip of the ketchup in Chu Hua's hand, then looked up at Chu Hua with his cat whiskers.

"That's what friends should be like!"

"Meow~"

It's not about making someone else happy, but about supporting each other, bringing joy to each other, being able to joke around freely, and being happy together.

It's not right to make others happy at the expense of yourself!

It won't last long.

True friends are those who bring each other joy.

Xiangzi looked at Chuhua.

Just like now.

I secretly played a trick on you. You shouldn't continue to make yourself miserable just to make me happy. Instead, you should tell me what you hope I'll do in return.

Just like now.

"Meow!"

"Um, can you forgive me, Chu Hua?"

"My Hatsuka-chan~ Please forgive me~"

He subconsciously clenched his fingers, which Xiangzi had just licked, and looked at Xiangzi in front of him.

Its slightly hunched body seemed to suggest its softness, with cat whiskers on its face and a meowing apology.

"Friends?"

It's not just one person's sacrifice that brings happiness to others—a tragic life.

Or is it a life of mutual support among friends?

friend?

I am Saki-chan's friend.

Saki-chan.

I should be the epitome of tragedy. Someone like me should be in the shadows, sacrificing everything for the female lead before dying in a corner. Why?

Saki-chan, why did you say that? Why did you barge into my world like that?

I.

Having witnessed a beautiful world and a new destiny, is Chu Hua, trapped in her own world of despair, truly willing to continue that tragedy?

not understand.

but.

Chu Hua still chose Saki-chan.

"Eh? Chuhua?"

"Watch out!! Don't get any ketchup on yourself!"

"Okay, okay! Well, well! I don't know why, maybe it's because bad people bullied you in the past, making you feel that friendship is one-sided, but that's not true!! Friendship is about everyone working together!"

Xiangzi was embraced by Chuhua.

"But wait! Could I be Chu Hua's old friend?"

"Hey, did I bully Chu Hua before?"

Xiangzi thought to himself.

"No, it's always been Saki-chan who has supported me! Only Saki-chan is, and even willing to be, my friend! Only Saki-chan needs me! So, so."

“Hey,” Xiangzi looked at Chuhua. He was alone. But where were Chuhua’s parents?

why?

Thinking back to myself and Xiao Mu.

"It's okay, it's okay!! Um, if Chu Hua hadn't come into this world, I would be all alone today, and I would be missing someone who cares about me and supports me!"

"So, it's truly the best arrangement that Hatsuka was able to come into this world! Meeting Hatsuka is so wonderful! If it weren't for Hatsuka, I wouldn't be so relaxed. So, thank you, I'm so happy to have met Hatsuka!"

"So don't say no one needs you! Be confident, there are so many people who need Chuhua! Me too, if you don't know, please remember! Hey, I'll always need you!"

. . . . . .

Children from single-parent families who are not accepted often see others' happy lives while having to pretend their own family isn't so happy.

I understand better than anyone that I am not needed and do not exist.

Chu Hua is that kind of child.

Because of her kindness, she understood that her presence in her mother's new family made them unwilling to let such a wonderful life provoke them.

Because of reality, I understand that I am not needed, and I wonder if it would be better if I disappeared.

What happened next.

That line, "If only I were the one who disappeared."

. . . . . .

Only Xiangzi would say to himself every time he returned to the island, "This is great. I don't know how I would have survived without Chuhua."

Chu Hua, at that moment, lived for Xiangzi.

Because it is needed, because it is needed.

And now.

"Ok!"

Even if she has forgotten her past memories, she still stands in front of me, Saki-chan, who needs me.

Even if she doesn't remember, Saki-chan still wants to pull herself out of the abyss.

Saki-chan tells herself that she needs to, and hopes that she can face the world with confidence.

Saki-chan! Saki-chan! Saki-chan!

Saki-chan.

This is my world!

Feeling the other person's warmth and tenderness, Chu Hua wished she could stay in this moment forever.

The girl in front of him was like a cat, and he wanted to stay by her side for the rest of his life, enjoying her gentleness.

Chu Hua looked at Xiangzi and squeezed his hand.

He silently raised his other hand.

“Saki-chan.”

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"what!"

"Eh?"

"Because we're friends, right? You fed me, and I think as a friend I should feed you back!"

"Ugh! That's such an outrageous statement! And besides, I feel like I've heard that statement before."

Xiangzi vaguely felt that someone had used this trick yesterday as well.

"is it not OK?"

"Um! That one!"

"Then, Saki-chan, can I feed you? I haven't really experienced feeding each other before. It seems more interesting to eat together with friends."

Xiangzi paused for a moment, then sighed and picked up his spoon.

"Well, well, if that's how you put it, then there's nothing I can do about it~"

Come on! Ah!

"Ah! Saki-chan is here too, ah!"

Chu Hua watched Saki eating the food she was being fed, just like she was eating Saki-chan herself.

"Friends?"

Chu Hua murmured.

Perhaps, my past really is like a tragedy.

However, now, my fate is no longer the same as before.

Within that tragedy, there is a winding, colorful fairytale river, shimmering and dazzling.

friend.

Saki-chan.

"Hmm, what's wrong?" Xiangzi looked over.

"It's nothing~" Chu Hua looked at Xiangzi, picked up a small piece of cake with a fork, put it in the other person's mouth, and watched the other person's satisfied look.

His eyes became gentle and distant.
