Volume 1 Crychic!!!! Chapter 38: Caring...?

Hailing, having found a box of chocolate milk pudding in her pocket, tore open the packaging and handed the snack, which could temporarily satisfy her hunger, to Jieyue.

"Thank you, Hailing."

Did you just call me by my name...?

Hai Ling patted the girl who was wolfing down her food, hesitating whether to ask her a question.

"It's nothing, just some snacks... But didn't you eat lunch?"

Eating...

"I made some food at home for a friend, and then I wanted to come over and have lunch with Riki-chan... but I think I upset her."

For the sake of the milk jelly, Jieyue gave a hasty explanation and then took out her phone to check the time.

Li Xi-chan...why?

I wonder if he's jealous... Sigh...

So what if you're being bullied and not given lunch?

Hai Ling reluctantly pulled Jie Yue up from her seat.

"Hurry up and get ready to go... Where's your backpack?"

bag?

"I don't have a schoolbag."

Hai Ling sighed and pulled the girl, whom she saw as incredibly pitiful, away from the classroom.

"What are you planning to do? Kizuki?"

What? What should I do? How can I get Riki-chan to forgive me? I really haven't figured it out...

"I really need to apologize to Riki-chan... As for the rest, I don't know..."

Even after things have come to this, why do you still care about her so much?

Not knowing what to say, Hailing accompanied her out of the school gate.

Hailing, who was tempted to ask why she liked that Riki-chan so much, ultimately restrained herself, after all, it was Yuzuki's own business.

"Does Yuzuki have anything to do?"

What can I do? Besides asking Riki-chan to forgive me... I don't know what else I can do.

"Maybe I should go home."

After parting ways with Hai Ling, Yu Yue wanted to go and apologize to Riki-chan, preferably in person to show her sincerity...

But she immediately noticed a problem.

She didn't know where Riki lived... or rather, Riki hadn't told her.

The girl, who had just entered a restaurant and ordered some dinner, rested her chin on her hand and looked out at the sunset.

It's okay, Lixi-chan is just... the same attitude towards everyone.

She was certain that the other members of the band didn't know where Riki lived either; this was her trust in Riki.

But... Riki-chan doesn't seem to trust her.

After thanking the waiter, Yuzuki ate the hot ramen to dispel the cold and hunger in her body, and then took out her phone to see who was looking for her.

Not surprisingly.

Li Xi-chan doesn't have it.

Xiangzi really didn't want to go back.

The lantern invited her to the planetarium... but not today. She absolutely has to get Riki-chan to forgive her.

"Sorry, I'll be going to the planetarium with Xiaodeng tomorrow."

"It's okay, Xiaoyue can just do her own thing."

Um...soyo?

"I made a lily and jujube soup for Xiaojieyue, but I don't seem to know where she lives, so I didn't send it to you."

Just sent a message…

Jieyue replied after taking another bite of noodles.

"Thank you so much, Xiaosu Shi, my home is right here..."

Lily bulb and jujube soup...isn't that a medicinal dish?

My head hurts a little, probably from sleeping too much...

"Okay, it'll be delivered right away~"

Hmm... I'll take this to Lixi-chan. I wonder if Lixi-chan can tell that this wasn't made by me?

Surely... you can tell the difference?

Huh? It's Riki-chan on the phone?!

Seeing that it was almost time for the school to close, Li Xi quickly called her. After finding that she was already up, an awkward silence fell.

"Lixi-chan, I made you some soup. Come over to my house later and have some!"

After glancing at Haruhi's sheet music, Riki agreed.

"Anyway, you're not allowed to stay up late, Jieyue. Everything else is fine."

That's awesome...

"Little Jieyue, please take good care of your health and don't stay up late."

"Okay! Soyo, you should take care of yourself too."

Sorry, I have to give the soup you made to Riki-chan.

After finishing most of her soup noodles, Jieyue put down her chopsticks and, feeling a bit warm, headed home.

Unexpectedly, he ran into Suze on the way to deliver soup, took her into his home, and had her sit for a while, then fed her konpeito (Japanese candy) to get rid of her... and then cleaned up all the traces of Mutsu staying overnight the day before...

Ah... Xiao Mu has already finished tidying up for her.

That would be wonderful...

Jieyue sighed and reached out to open the soup bowl that Su Shi had brought.

It's a bit sweet, quite different from what I make. Lixi-chan will definitely be able to tell the difference…

"Lixi-chan, why don't you try this? See if you like this lily and jujube soup?"

While texting Lixi, Shao also asked how Xiaomu was doing.

The woman belatedly realized that a bowl of soup was not enough to fill her up.

No longer insisting on making a six-meat-six-vegetable meal, Jieyue cracked two eggs, chopped some greens and minced meat, and simply stir-fried a home-style dish before hearing a knock on the door.

After inviting the still somewhat angry black-haired girl in…

"Lixi-chan~ Please enjoy."

Something doesn't feel right about this soup... it's not like the style that Yuzuki usually makes.

Lixi took the spoon and tasted it.

Yuzuki usually makes soups that are...the kind that wouldn't be made with such ordinary ingredients. But that's fine too, it must be easier to make this kind of soup.

"It tastes a little sweet..."

Right? I knew Lixi-chan could tell the difference between my cooking and Su Shi's!

"However, I don't dislike Yuzuki doing this."

……

The girl, back in the kitchen, looked out at the bright sunshine and thought about how she would one day draw a curtain to block out the sunlight in the kitchen as well.

"Ugh…"

Is Riki-chan... playing dumb?

She's a little confused.

Never mind that for now... At least Riki-chan still cares about me; at least she gets angry and jealous when I sleep with Komu...

Lixi-chan still cares about me.

The girl, who had regained her spirits, heard Lixi's apology.

"I shouldn't have left you at school, Yuzuki."

It's okay, how could I possibly be angry with Riki-chan?

Just as she was about to blurt out this answer, Yuzuki forcibly suppressed her excitement. She shouldn't be reacting like this now... A normal person shouldn't react like this.

You should be a little... slightly angry.

"Speaking of which, why didn't Riki-chan wake me up today?"

Yeah, why?

"Because I thought you could live a normal life without me, but now I feel you don't have that ability."

I don't need...?!

"not like this!"

The girl, truly angry, couldn't help but raise her voice a notch.

"I... I really need Riki-chan! So... please don't do this..."

They ignored me.

That's right, isn't it? It's definitely this guy who needs me, not me who needs Yuzuki.

Lixi's competitive spirit was satisfied.

"Why do they need me so much? Even without me, with Mutsuki, Soshi Shoko, and Tohru, it wouldn't matter, right?"

Tears streamed down her cheeks and onto the floor. For the first time, Yuzuki truly felt that Ritsuki-chan's words were excessive.

"Why did you get sick at this time? I'll go get you some tissues."

Onset of illness...?

...Lixi-chan.

Do you really care about me?

Love you guys

Please give me some votes!

Volume 1 Crychic! : Chapter 39 Happiness

Perhaps... Li Xi-chan isn't the right person.

Yuzuki reached out and stroked her long hair, sitting aimlessly by the window watching the sunset, which could be described as beautiful.

Lixi forgave her and, before leaving, specifically emphasized that she should get some rest.

but…

She clutched her chest.

I feel even worse now than before, when I was waiting for Riki-chan's forgiveness.
