Can Lixi look at me alone?

"No matter what your relationship with her was like before, from now on your relationship will not be good."

To shut up.

"Even if she liked you before, what about now? Would she like someone as ugly as you, a loser? And would you like someone so irresponsible, who hasn't come to see you at all and has been happily playing with Deng all this time?"

"It's time to end this relationship, as if it never happened. Hailin, Mutsu, and even Chihaya are all far better than her, aren't they?"

……

What you said is only partly correct.

Love you guys

Volume 1 Crychic!!!: Chapter 96 Failed Octopus Capture

Yuzuki closed her eyes to rest, hoping to pass the long night this way; she had no interest in watching TV or movies.

I had no intention of harassing anyone on Line.

Someone like her should just stay in bed and sleep alone.

If Li Xi had once given her a chance to be happy together, did she give it up? Just because... she didn't dare to confess, did she... give up the chance for happiness?

So what will she do next time... next time happiness comes knocking?

Could it be that I will lose everything again...?

Yuzuki buried her head in the blanket and sobbed softly. Although the soundproofing was excellent, she was still afraid of waking Aine next door.

I was afraid that I would cause her trouble.

Yes, it's very warm under the covers.

good night.

……

I get up in the morning, wash up, and make breakfast.

Then I ate the breakfast I had just made and sent a Line message to Hailing.

"I had breakfast today."

"Yes, Yuzuki did a great job."

Looking at the "typing is in progress" message on the screen, Hai Ling raised an eyebrow.

She could roughly guess what the girl on the other side of the screen was thinking.

I typed and deleted in the chat box, then typed again.

In the end, only a few words remained.

"I want to see you."

Should I send it out? But if I do... won't Hailing find it troublesome...?

With nothing else to do, Yuzuki bit her lower lip and saw Hailing's message while she was still hesitating.

"Sorry, there's a live band performance tonight... I'll have to go later."

Are you going to come later again?

"Where is the live performance taking place... I want to go see it."

It's okay, it's troublesome... but it's troublesome nonetheless. I just want to see you, I just want... to be with you, even if it's just from afar, even if I can only see your back, it's okay.

Having received the address and time, Jieyue happily picked up her phone.

It's just going to see a friend's live performance, what's wrong with that?

Having found a part-time job, Lixi slumped over her desk to catch up on sleep. The girl who had dreamt of Yuzuki again last night woke up from the dream and couldn't fall back asleep.

Every time she closed her eyes, she could see the resentful eyes of Yuzuki that day... and the excruciating pain.

She didn't bite hard, nor did she make any other extreme moves.

But Lixi never wanted to try again... No, if trying meant seeing Yuzuki again, she would try.

Sitting up from the sofa, Yuzuki, who was about to go catch the little octopus again, picked out a set of clothes that wouldn't get dirty easily. She seemed to call a taxi frequently, as a driver was already waiting for her at her door.

"Should we still go there?"

"Ah."

After a brief conversation, Yuzuki looked out the window at the scenery.

There's nothing fun about it.

Xiao Xiang is so much fun; I don't know why she lives in a place like this…

!

Suddenly realizing something, the pink-haired girl tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.

Xiao Xiang must have chosen to live in such a dirty and messy apartment building because he was afraid she would come looking for him. He hoped that the environment would deter him from his journey.

But you didn't expect that, did you? Xiao Xiang... I specially wore all black to see you, so... even if it gets a little dirty, it won't be a problem.

Perfect timing! I'll hang out with you this morning and then go see Hailing's live performance this afternoon.

You can't not play with me!

"We've arrived. Please get off the bus."

So fast...

The girl who paid the money smoothed out the wrinkles in her skirt and got out of the car.

Take a tissue out of your pocket, let your fingers touch the handrail through the tissue, and then climb the stairs step by step.

She even saw a mouse run down the stairs.

Even though she had prepared herself mentally, Yuzuki still felt a little disgusted and found the house number that Mutsumi had told her.

"Xiao Xiang!"

Saki-chan~

Xiangzi, feeling like she was hallucinating, looked up from her textbook. It was the time when everyone was going to school, so how could anyone be looking for her?

We can't expect Jieyue to skip class every day, can we?

The girl, amused by her own naive thoughts, continued to bury herself in her studies.

Unable to get a response to her knocking, Yuzuki walked to the window.

The curtains were drawn.

The pink-haired girl, who felt for the first time that drawing the curtains during the day was not a good habit, knocked hard on the window.

But apart from the curtains swaying a few times, she received no further information.

Could it be that Xiao Xiang has gone to school?

Since there was plenty of time, Jieyue picked up her phone and sent a message to Mu.

"Xiao Mu, did Xiao Xiang come to school today?"

Mu replied almost instantly.

"No."

If he's not in school... what is Xiao Xiang doing? Is he still playing with his classmates from Sanjiao Chuhua?

Somewhat annoyed, she put away her phone. Having failed to catch the little octopus this time, Yuzuki vented her frustration by banging on the window a few more times.

Realizing that Yuzuki had really come to find her, Xiangzi didn't dare to make a sound and tiptoed to the window to wait for Yuzuki to leave.

"..."

The girl, receiving no positive feedback, felt a little irritated. She had a premonition... Xiangzi was hiding here. He just didn't dare to come out to see her, didn't want to come out and play with her.

Hailing and Xiaomu can refuse me, but why won't you play with me? Aren't you at home? Don't you have time? Why won't you play with me?

Once again, the girl returned empty-handed and got into the taxi she had taken earlier. Feeling utterly miserable, Yuzuki kept wiping her face.

Wearing shoes helps relieve anxiety.

At noon, I'll just grab a bite anywhere.

I'll go home this afternoon, change into something nicer, and go see Hailing's live performance.

that is it.

After confirming that she had left, Shoko was relieved that Yuzuki wouldn't come over that night, otherwise she might have bumped into her on her way home from get off work...

She felt she had nowhere to hide.

Unlike now, where we can stay at home and not go out.

This feeling is awful...

Xiangzi sighed, slumped over the table.

I'm hungry again.

Is it possible for a person to not survive if they only eat one meal a day?

Xiangzi, who wanted to save some money, took a couple of sips of drinking water and wanted to continue studying... but it seemed that Jieyue's increasingly frequent visits made her think of her past life.

I don't want to study, I don't want to work.

I don't want to think about anything, I just want to rest for a while, I want to play for a while.

I want to take a nap.

It wasn't just a rebellious streak, or the pressure was truly unbearable.

Xiangzi closed the textbook he couldn't bear to read anymore and lay down on the simple mattress to rest.

Set an alarm; being late for work will result in a deduction in pay.

With little appetite, Yuzuki casually ordered a curry and then sat down to check her phone for messages.

...?

Who is this person whose profile picture is of a pink flower?

If it's Xiao Mu, she should be able to recognize what kind of flower it is.

Click "agree," since even if it's a sales pitch, it'll at least give her some amusement.

"Yuzuki! This is Chihaya Aine! Sorry, I forgot to add you yesterday..."

It's a new friend! This is much better than any sales pitch.

The pink-haired girl chewed her food and started chatting with her.

Love you guys

Volume 1 Crychic! : Chapter 97 Buckwheat Noodles

"Sorry, Yuzuki, I have to go to class!"

After saying goodbye to her, Yuzuki sighed when she realized that the curry rice had gone cold. She put the plate aside and prepared to order some new food.

"Soba noodles."

Buckwheat noodles...?

While flipping through the menu looking for buckwheat noodles, Yuzuki saw a slender and cute finger on the menu.

The sign there clearly read 'buckwheat noodles'.

Feeling a little happy because she had skipped class to go out for a meal and ran into Yuzuki, Rakuna swung her legs and smiled as she looked at the girl across the table.

"Isn't it school time now?"
