Volume 1 Crychic! : Chapter 27 Today's Daily 10,000 Words

Yuzuki stared blankly at the starry sky.

For some reason, whenever she saw Lixi-chan, she felt that every cell and pore in her body was exuding happiness.

But during her sacred phone call with Riki-chan just now, she actually sensed a hint of...

No, that can't be... It's probably because of Xiangzi that she's in a bad mood. It definitely can't be Riki-chan's fault...

After setting the timer on the automatic water dispenser, Yuzuki took a hot shower to make herself feel better.

"I wonder... what Riki-chan is thinking?"

She gently put her finger in her mouth and unconsciously sucked on it.

"I'll be practicing with Riki-chan tomorrow... I'll go check on Mutsu then. Mutsu seems a bit unhappy..."

Lying in bed, hugging the now slightly faded scent of Riki-chan's body pillow, Yuzuki realized she was more or less concerned about her other companions…

Anyway, it's all because of Riki-chan, so this is not bad.

Xiaodeng and Xiaomu need care, but Xiaoxiang is a bit... she doesn't know how to describe it, anyway, she doesn't really like him.

Xiao Su Shi is very gentle. Perhaps, like herself, she joined the band for someone else...

who can that be?

In the dead of night, under the light of his phone, his bloodshot eyes closed.

Goodnight, Lixi-chan.

I almost forgot to say goodnight to Lixi-chan...

As Yuzuki removed her finger from the screen, she immediately thought of the band members…

Okay, let's all say goodnight.

Is that alright...?

trouble.

……

"Cough...cough cough...ha..."

The feeling of suffocation woke the girl on the bed. As if something had covered her mouth and nose, Yuzuki clutched the sheets and gasped for breath.

She was probably having a nightmare.

I dreamt that Lixi-chan was being slept by a small lamp...

Thinking of that cute, shy girl, Yuzuki gently patted her head.

How could Xiaodeng make Lixi-chan fall in love with him?

how could be?

It was such a bizarre dream... but the emotions lingering in her heart couldn't disappear when she woke up.

The room, devoid of any light, was like a coffin. The girl clutched the pillow that smelled of her lover tightly, slowly processing her negative emotions.

The angels haven't come for a long time.

Yuzuki snuggled against the pillow and then looked at the time.

It's almost morning...

Leaving the still slightly warm bed, exposing her pale skin to the cold air, Yuzuki walked to the wardrobe, randomly picked out a set of casual clothes, and tossed them onto the sofa.

Looking at her expressionless reflection in the mirror, Yuzuki stretched out her finger and turned the corners of her mouth up to the most familiar curve to others.

Her usual gentle smile appeared unusually empty and pale.

Yuzuki was not satisfied. She tried hard to make her smile look better... but she failed.

If I appeared in front of Riki-chan like this... it would make her unhappy.

Do you use cosmetics?

A crisp message notification sounded from her phone.

Is someone looking for me?

……

When Lixi arrived at Jieyue's door and was about to knock, she saw two lunch boxes neatly placed at the door.

This is theoretically where the food she made the night before last is stored.

"Huh? What's Yuzuki up to..."

Why don't you want her to go in? Or did something happen?

The girl only realized what the other person had sent her when she looked at her phone.

"Sorry, Riki-chan... I have an urgent matter to attend to today, so I left the bento box by the door! And I didn't cook anything, so please don't worry..."

"Did Lixi-chan see that?"

"Lixi-chan...you're not up yet, are you..."

"Lixi-chan, please let me know when you get your bento."

Hiding in her room, staring at her phone, Yuzuki waited in vain for Ritsuki's reply. She began to fear that Ritsuki was pretending not to see it, and the negative emotions that had just subsided gathered in her heart again.

But it's okay, this time I can cry.

It's okay to cry in front of Riki-chan.

No one would think I'm sad.

"I got it. Next time, you should ask me for leave in advance."

The pink-haired girl, who had forced back her tears, held her phone with ecstatic joy, counting down the seconds to ten before replying.

"Sorry, this won't happen again."

Jieyue slightly lifted a corner of the thick curtain and watched Lixi walk away before letting out a sigh of relief.

I can't stay at home, what if Riki-chan wants to video chat with me...

We need to get out.

Where can we go?

Yuzuki didn't know.

The girl, now dressed, opened the security door, which hadn't spoken in a long time.

They left their sanctuary.

……

"Huh? Did Yuzuki take leave? Could she be sick?"

Xiangzi asked Lixi with some concern, but she glared at him and stopped him.

"He shouldn't be sick..."

Li Xi sighed.

"So there's no need to worry about the lantern being caused by the konpeito; it's just that the guy had an emergency."

Sensing her companions' low spirits, Lixi placed the lunchbox she was carrying on the table. Understanding immediately, Su Shi began to comfort everyone.

"Did Yuzuki make this bento? I'm a little hungry, would you guys like to have lunch first before practicing?"

Delicious food can always help people relax.

With a smile, Li Xi handed the cutlery to Xiangzi.

"Yue is just busy with something, so don't be sad... Xiangzi, close your eyes and guess what Yue did for you, okay?"

Suddenly feeling like playing a prank, Lixi fed Xiangzi a slightly burnt fried egg that she had handled.

Then others followed suit...

"Mmm...it's delicious."

Both Xiangzi and Su Shi wore somewhat forced smiles.

Seeing that the expressions of the others, except Mu, were rather unpleasant, Li Xi couldn't help but laugh.

"That's really going too far, Xiao Lixi!"

　Su Shi reached out and pinched her cheek.

……

As Jieyue unknowingly walked into the music store, she felt someone tug at her clothes.

After lowering his head, he met those eyes that were blue and yellow in color.

She's a little girl...

"What's wrong, little sister? Is there anything I can do to help you?"

The white-haired girl led her into the music store and pointed to a guitar.

"I want to play this."

She looked at the sales clerk, who clearly recognized Yuzuki from her previous visit. The clerk gave her a somewhat apologetic smile.

"I'm sorry, miss... this child has caused you trouble."

Then she put her hands on her hips and looked at the girl who was tilting her head and staring at her with a hint of helplessness.

"Lannai! Didn't I already tell you not to bother other people? If you keep doing this, I'll have to tell your grandma!"

Lena...?

"But I want to play the guitar."

Tsk, how much time will be wasted at this rate?

"It's alright, I'll pay for it. Please give the guitar to this child."

Volume 1 Crychic! : Chapter 28 Silence

"This isn't about money..."

Why is it so complicated?!

Is it really that difficult for you to give her the guitar if I pay for it?

"Hmm...it's alright, then please sell this guitar to me."

The saleswoman nervously swallowed.

"I'm...sorry, actually that was not for sale..."

Yuzuki's stiff smile cracked slightly. She turned around to make sure it was on the shelf and then took a deep breath.

"You're joking with me, right? Haha, you're so funny."
