MyGO has been re-femaleized in the second playthrough!

"The live stream starts tonight, and there are still two or three hours left, but I clearly told Lena to come earlier an hour ago." Ai Yin took out her phone, intending to send another message to Lena to ask.

But the next second, Lena sent a message.

[Lena: Come find me]

try to find?

[Aine: Is Rakuna lost?]

[Lena: No, I just want to be found]

[Aine: Huh? What does that mean?]

[Lena: I don't know]

Don't tell me you don't know. Aine looked slightly helpless. Rakuna wouldn't have done this kind of thing before. Could it be that something's on her mind?

We can't just leave it unattended no matter what.

[Aine: Where is Narona now?]

[Lena: What you say doesn't count]

[Aine: ....Isn't this just like hide-and-seek?]

It seems that Lena can't even give a general location.

Are you hoping I'll guess it?

Where might Rana go? The old Space site? RiNG? Or somewhere else? Aine thought to herself as she got up.

In short, let's take action first and eliminate them one by one.

[Aine: Is there a reward if I find it?]

[Lena: Sure. I won't be stingy with my kindness.]

"A blessing indeed," Aine murmured. "We must hurry and invite our divine being back."

Those who neglect the gods will not have a good end.

Chapter 171 No Need to Search

It was already 6 o'clock. Lena leaned against the railing, thoughtfully putting away her phone.

Aine hasn't found her yet.

If she still hasn't found it in ten minutes, she'll go back on her own. After all, she promised to try livestreaming tonight.

She wouldn't feel anything if Aine didn't find her; she would only feel a little regretful that she couldn't answer the questions in her heart.

Being found brings happiness—not being found brings regret, which is a tragedy.

So why does it become a situation where it needs to be "found"?

Having nowhere to belong, so they want to search;

If you can't find it, you have to create it.

Lena leaned on the railing, reminiscing about the movie she had watched recently.

"So, if you're already unhappy, is that why you need to be found?"

If that's the case, then is it a pity or a tragedy not to be found?

“There are also cases where being found out can cause immense suffering.” — That’s what Aine said before.

Boring movies, boring bands.

Lenai thought to herself that if a band from a movie invited her to be their guitarist, she wouldn't even consider it and would just turn around and leave. Some pain is something you have to endure to keep going, but some isn't.

He gently opened his mouth and exhaled a wisp of white breath.

The wind that brushed against her cheeks carried a biting chill. Looking down at the familiar city view, Lenai's only thought was: So cold.

It's still warmer inside.

It was also quite boring. The scene before me was as still as if it had never changed.

Would she feel happy to be found? She didn't know, but the torment she felt at that moment was real.

Every second was unbearable.

Lena propped her chin on her hand: "It's always been like this before."

After Space disappeared, everyone was alone. Although they wanted to find a place to belong, they didn't feel this uneasy.

The reason is obvious without needing to think too much.

She took out her phone again and looked at the chat group "MyGO!!!!!". The group chat avatar was still the "deserter" performance outfit that Aine wore back then.

""

I want to go back. I should go back.

"Lena~"

Just then, a voice called out from behind. Rakuna turned around and saw Aine running towards her with a smile and waving.

was found.

"Aiyin"

The moment I saw her face and heard her voice, a genuine warmth welled up inside me and flowed through my entire body.

Is this the "happiness" that arises spontaneously after being found? She didn't know, she just took a few steps closer.

"I finally found you! My legs are about to break!" Ai Yin stopped and took a few breaths.

"Feel sorry."

But more than anything, I felt a tightness in my chest, and once I came to my senses, the apology just slipped out.

Aine wiped away her sweat: "It's okay, it's good that we found it! Ronai, are you alright? Ronai usually wouldn't do something like this."

"Um...it's nothing, I'm just curious."

"curious?"

Lena stared intently at her: "Would being found make you happy—I want to know that."

Aine suddenly realized: "You mean the movie we watched a few days ago? Rina actually remembers that line!"

"Because I care a lot."

Taking a deep breath, Aine brushed a strand of hair away from her face: "Did Ryuna find the answer?"

Lena is quite curious... I guess this counts as her personally experimenting?

Aine is now very interested in hearing what Rakuna thinks. Since they met, Rakuna has always shared ideas that are quite different from theirs, yet pure in their own way.

"Maybe."

"That's a rather vague statement."

Lena shook her head slightly: "When I saw Aine, I felt at ease and happy. My body felt as warm as if I were sleeping in a warm bed."

"It's a little embarrassing," Aine said, touching her flushed face.

But what a strange metaphor it is to feel as warm as sleeping in a blanket.

"Before Aine came, everything felt meaningless. It was agonizing and unbearable."

"Eh?"

"What does this mean?!" Aine exclaimed in surprise. Could it be that Rakuna had awakened her romantic awareness...?

How did Aine find me?

"this one"

Ai Yin looked around. She was very familiar with this place; Le Nai had brought her here to sunbathe before.

But she first visited the old site of Space, RiNG, and other possible locations before finally selecting this place.

I wish I had come here from the beginning.

"I first selected possible locations based on my intuition, and then eliminated them one by one, which is why I'm late," Ai Yin replied frankly.

"Oh"

The image of Aine running around searching for her and calling her name flashed through Lena's mind.

They could feel an invisible thread connecting them, and the more eager Aine was to grasp this thread and pull her over, the more she could feel the weight of the presence before her and realize her own position.

Lena smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

"Yes, it must have been very hard work," Aine sighed.

"...I won't do it again."

Lena said softly, "The search is long over."

Whether it's finding a home or finding her.

Aine said with relief, "That's good! If Lena came like this every few days, I wouldn't be able to stand it either."

"Me too."

"Eh?"

“Me too,” Lena repeated.

Ai Yin paused for a moment, then nodded and smiled: "Shall we go back? We have to do a live stream later."

"Yes, but let's start with En Hui."

There's something like that.

Aine was so preoccupied with where Rana might be that she almost forgot there would be a reward for finding Rana.

"What reward will Renai give me?" Aine asked expectantly.

"come over."

Lena didn't offer any explanation. Instead, she started walking and led Aine down the slope to a convenience store.

She took two ice creams from the freezer, paid, walked out of the store, and returned to Ai-yin's side.

"...Ice cream?" Ai Yin asked in surprise.

"Yes, a prize."

Aine exhaled a puff of white breath and said helplessly, "Does Lena know what kind of weather it is right now? Eating ice cream might give you an upset stomach."

"It's okay, let's have some fun together."

"No, no, no, I don't want an upset stomach."

The "god's" gift was ice cream.

But she still accepted it and opened the packaging with Lenai.

Since we've already bought it, we can't just not eat it, right? Even if we don't eat it, Lena will probably say something like, "Then I'll eat two servings."

"You should eat cold food when it's cold," Lena said.

What about when it's hot?

"You have to eat cold food; hot food is no good."

Ai Yin thought so too; Lena had a complete cat's tongue and would never touch even a tiny bit of hot food.

She found a place to sit down, and as expected, the ice cream was cold and sweet. Fortunately, it didn't melt as quickly as it would in the summer. Aine rested while casually thinking about this.

“I’ll feel happy when I’m found—” Lena said, swinging her legs.

"Ok?"

"—Then why has it developed into a situation where happiness only comes from being found?"

"what"

It is indeed a blind spot.

Ai Yin said softly, "Maybe they weren't really happy to begin with?"

“Probably. So, not needing to find it is the best.” Lena said, looking at her.
