Can Lixi look at me alone?

"Thank you for your help!"

Yuzuki's outstretched hand towards the expensive front row of keyboards startled the girl; oh, she's a rich young lady...

"You're welcome. I just happened to see you hesitating here for a long time."

Is that why you wanted to help me?

"Goodbye."

After trying out each keyboard player's voice, Yuzuki found her favorite, wrapped her up, and took her to the front desk to redeem her from her servitude.

"Thank you."

The new keyboard lady thanked her.

Hmm... Is there anything else you want to buy?

Feeling a urge to shop, Yuzuki pondered what else she could bring for Ritsuki. But she simply couldn't think of anything…

After all, there are many things that she can only buy and give to Riki-chan when Riki-chan needs them.

You can't give these things yet, according to the rules. These items can only be given when Riki-chan likes her a lot…

Jieyue walked along the road back to her front door.

If I lose my keys again, will Lixi let me stay overnight with her?

Yuzuki abandoned the dangerous idea and inserted the key she was going to throw away into the lock cylinder.

If I lose it again, Riki-chan will probably think I'm a nuisance.

"Good evening, Mr. Security Door."

She was sweating profusely and slightly out of breath as she introduced the new keyboard lady to the rest of the family.

"This is Mr. Refrigerator, his favorite thing to do every day is to steal my food..."

She coughed twice.

The sticky feeling on her body made her feel a little uncomfortable.

The pink-haired girl, having just taken a hot shower, was having her long hair dried with the help of the hairdryer grandma when Grandpa Clock reminded her that it was time to waste some time...

22:00

Sleeping?

After setting up the keyboard, she searched online for songs played by other girl bands, listening to them once and then playing them again.

Only after you've become indistinguishable from them should you look for the next song.

"The keyboard lady is amazing. She taught me four songs in just five hours."

Looking at the clock hand, which had already pointed to 3, Yuzuki wiped away the sweat she had left on the piano keys with satisfaction.

Keyboard Girl is a really great teacher; she feels like her skills have come back a lot.

Time to sleep.

After taking another shower, Yuzuki didn't put on any clothes. After drying herself off, she lay on the bed and started wasting time.

……

"Little Juzuki, wake up!"

She saw a winged humanoid creature standing in front of her, waving at her.

Not knowing which family member's child this was, she stood there helplessly for a while, trying to figure it out.

"Don't overthink it! I'm an angel! An angel who grants people's wishes and helps them live their lives!"

Angel?

Yuzuki tried carefully to make out the face of the angel in front of her, but the blinding light forced her to squint, and in the end she saw nothing.

"Hey, hurry up! You can tell me any problems or wishes you have, and I'll tell you how to make them come true!"

Yuzuki's lack of reaction prompted the angel to impatiently pat her head.

"I...I want to stay with Riki-chan forever."

"Why do you want to be with Riki-chan? Don't you think everything is a waste of time?"

Yuzuki answered without hesitation.

"That's because I hadn't seen Riki-chan before! I... I had no idea there were so many people like that in the world..."

The angel covered her mouth.

"In the end, don't you just want Riki-chan to bring you happiness?"

Yuzuki nodded vigorously.

"Alright, alright, listen carefully! Only wholehearted love will bring you happiness. Remember, you reap what you sow!"

Wholehearted love...

I will try my best to love Riki-chan wholeheartedly. Is it true that if I do this, Riki-chan will love me wholeheartedly in return?

Yuzuki woke up from her dream at 9:42 a.m. She had slept for six hours.

"Quickly, drop out of school...go drop out of school!"

Love you guys

Please give me some votes!

Volume 1 Crychic!!! Chapter 3 Li Xi-chan

Fearing that these people would prevent her from having time to scout out various schools to find Riki-chan, Yuzuki hurriedly put on her underwear and slipped on the school uniform she had found yesterday.

I rushed out of the shelter without even having breakfast; I had to get my student status cancelled as soon as possible…

Around 10 a.m., Yuzuki, dressed in her school uniform, stood out on the street. However, passersby assumed she was skipping school to play, since no one goes to school without a backpack... right?

Feeling that Riki-chan probably wouldn't be there to help her when she was in danger, Yuzuki decisively chose to take a taxi, as walking directly to school was a bit difficult for her current physical condition.

I need to conserve my energy so I can properly observe Riki-chan's school this afternoon.

"Thank you."

After smiling and saying goodbye to the driver, Yuzuki stood in front of the school gate and asked the security personnel if she could go in.

It's okay if you can't, after all, I brought my bank card with me today~

Seeing her excessively pale complexion, the security guard simply opened the school gate and let her in.

Ugh... Where should I drop out of school? This is so troublesome, so troublesome, so troublesome... Will this delay my chance to see Riki-chan? Absolutely not...!

Just as Yuzuki was about to go to the principal's office to urge the principal to process her withdrawal, she heard the bell ring, but she couldn't tell if it was the bell for starting or ending class. However, the teachers and students who walked out of the classroom the next moment made her realize it.

The pink-haired girl attracted an unusually high number of glances, but thanks to her fragile and delicate demeanor, at least so far no one dared to approach her.

Not wanting to waste any more time, the girl grabbed a female classmate who had been secretly watching her.

"Hi student~ Do you know where to go to complete the procedures for withdrawing from school?"

The girl who was being pulled was stunned for a moment.

"Oh... I don't think I've ever done this before. Maybe you could ask the teacher?"

The classmate kindly pointed to the office, and Yuzuki gratefully bowed slightly in thanks.

Where are the teachers? Which one is the teacher? Or are all of them teachers?

Looking at the rows of adult women in front of her desk, Yuzuki wondered who she should ask to get the right answer.

"Is this...Chika-san?"

The young female teacher, who had been staring at her ever since she entered the office, pulled her to her desk.

"Are you alright? Or would you like to come to the school for a visit...?"

Yuzuki shook her head.

This must be the teacher, right?

"Sensei, I want to withdraw from school. Which office should I go to?"

Without saying much, the teacher silently got up from her office chair and, amidst the sympathetic gazes of the other teachers, pulled Jieyue toward the principal's office.

"Is Chika feeling any better lately?"

The pink-haired girl, who had forgotten who she was, tilted her head.

"Thank you for your concern."

Talking any more is a waste of time. Why not think about what we'll be doing next...?!

Li Xi-chan!!!

To avoid disturbing Riki-chan by shouting out, Yuzuki quickly covered her mouth, but this action was seen as a different kind of... behavior by the teacher.

The teacher handed her a tissue. With her mind filled with thoughts of Riki-chan being here, Yuzuki went to the restroom, locked the stall door, covered her cheek, and breathed softly.

"Lixi-chan... we're in the same school..."

She wiped the liquid from the corner of her mouth with a tissue.

Her body trembled slightly with happiness, and she couldn't help but smile.

Riki-chan… is my angel, who blessed me with the luck of being in the same school as Riki-chan…

No, I don't want to transfer schools, I want to transfer classes, it's all pretty much the same anyway! I want to sit next to Riki-chan!

She rinsed her flushed cheeks with cold water and only left the bathroom after her complexion returned to its pale state.

"You probably haven't prepared any documents, right? But given your situation... the principal will likely approve it directly..."

Drop out of school?

I don't want to drop out of school, I want to be in the same class as Li Xi!

"I'm sorry, teacher... I may not have expressed myself clearly just now."

Yuzuki stared intently in the direction Riki had left, and softly asked the teacher if she could see the list of her classmates.

"I'd like to see if I know anyone here..."

The teacher, who did not blame her for taking her around, returned to the office and handed the list to Yuzuki to prevent her from causing a similar incident again.

She didn't see the infatuated look on Yuzuki's face hidden behind the documents.

Lixi-chan…you really love me so much! It must be because you wanted to be with me that we ended up in the same school and the same class…

Yeah, me

I will love you with all my heart.

After you have tasted my love, can you reciprocate with the same love?

No, I only need a little bit... just a little bit...

The pink-haired girl pointed to the empty space with the name Chika Yuzuki written on it.

"Sensei, I... only know Shiina Tatsuki-kun..."

The teacher, understanding the unspoken message, nodded and, after confirming that she did not want to drop out, led her back to the classroom door.

The school bell rang just then.

Completely unconcerned about what the teacher was doing inside, Yuzuki peered through the front window, but Riki's seat was next to the back door, so she couldn't see through the front.

Then, Yuzuki went to the back door to look for the black-haired girl and successfully found Riki lying on the table.

The girl swallowed hard when she heard the teacher's call; the seat next to Lixi had been moved to her by the teacher.

She just didn't understand why the classmate looked at her with such gratitude in his eyes.

But none of that mattered anymore. It didn't matter what the students were whispering about, or what the teacher was saying upstairs.

Lixi-chan, you're right beside me.
