"Hmph, Ruoye, I go to bed at 10:30 every night, so you can come find me before then."

Patting her chest, Chihaya Aine, feeling better now that she hadn't intentionally ignored the message, sat down next to Ichinose Wakaba.

The voices in the carriage gradually faded away, and the surroundings seemed to be enveloped in a warm atmosphere.

Ichinose Wakaba sat quietly, but she keenly sensed that the girl beside her was getting closer and closer.

Chihaya Aine's shoulder was almost touching his arm, and the subtle warmth transmitted through the fabric made Ichinose Wakaba's nerves tense slightly.

What he couldn't ignore most was the sweet scent lingering around his nose—a faint strawberry fragrance, refreshing yet captivating.

Ichinose Wakaba's body instinctively wanted to move to the side a little.

However, before he could create distance, the girl moved even faster—

Chihaya Aine reached out and gently grasped his arm.

"Wakaba-ya—"

Her soft voice carried a hint of coquetry, with a slight upward lilt at the end, as if trying to sway his reason.

The girl didn't let go; instead, she tightened her grip slightly, her slender fingers holding onto the corner of Ichinose Wakaba's arm as if afraid he would escape, her eyes shining with a determined light.

"Hey, what about yesterday's answer?"

Chihaya Ai raised her head, tilting it slightly as she looked at him. Her pink hair shimmered softly in the sunlight, and her pupils reflected the image of someone in the same school uniform as her, as if waiting, or as if approaching.

Ichinose Wakaba paused slightly, her heartbeat seeming to slow down a beat.

Yesterday's answer...

He pursed his lips, his gaze falling on the hand that was gripping his arm, the slightly tightened fingertips revealing an unyielding determination.

The air still carried that sweet strawberry scent, but it seemed to be getting stronger.

"Ano-chan, you don't seem to be in a good mood?"

As the trio carrying their instruments entered the classroom, they saw Chihaya Aine slumped over her desk, her face buried in her arms, her pink hair scattered across the table, looking rather listless.

One of them spoke first, his tone tinged with worry.

Chihaya Aine slowly raised her head, blinked her somewhat confused eyes, and after seeing the familiar figure, she pouted slightly, lazily lay on the table, and hummed softly.

"...It's nothing."

Despite what she said, her slightly puffed-out cheeks and somewhat sullen expression clearly indicated that it wasn't "nothing."

The trio exchanged glances, their instrument straps swaying slightly. One of them chuckled softly and teased, "Hey? Doesn't seem like nothing's wrong? Did you break up with someone?"

"No, it's not—"

Chihaya Aine's voice trailed off, tinged with resentment and grievance. She crossed her arms, pouted slightly, and looked away, as if she was still upset about what happened that morning.

"It's just... it's just that I invited someone to form a band with me this morning, and they refused."

The girl spoke casually, but the dissatisfaction in her tone was impossible to hide.

After all, it was Wakaba who rejected Chihaya Aine.

It's really a decision; I won't be chatting with Wakaba for a while! (*)

"The invitation was unsuccessful, even though she doesn't play any instruments? What about her support staff?" Chihaya Aine thought angrily.

Chapter 89 You can't go meow meow meow!

"Have I been getting too close to these female characters lately?"

Ichinose Wakaba leaned against the window, gazing at the cherry blossom trees on the playground swaying gently in the breeze, the scene from this morning flashing through her mind.

He declined Chihaya Aine's invitation almost without hesitation.

I don't play any musical instruments.

"If not, then serving as a logistics staff is also acceptable."

"There are no plans to do so at the moment."

The moment the words were spoken, the girl sitting next to Ichinose Wakaba paused slightly, and the smile on her face vanished.

Chihaya Aine blinked, as if she hadn't heard him clearly, and stared straight at him, as if waiting for him to add anything.

Ichinose Wakaba didn't say anything more, but simply looked away.

At that moment, the smile on Chihaya Aine's lips slowly faded, her hands unconsciously clenched the hem of her skirt, and a hint of disappointment flashed in her beautiful pink eyes.

In the end, she didn't say anything more, just gave a soft "oh" in a deliberately nonchalant tone, as if trying to hide her emotions.

But Ichinose Wakaba still noticed—

Her voice was much softer than usual.

Her smile was much fainter than usual.

Chihaya Aine remained silent until she got off the bus.

Her pace was much slower than usual, her pink hair swayed gently in the breeze, and she gripped the straps of her backpack tightly, as if she was trying to endure something.

The pink-haired girl looked up at Ichinose Wakaba in front of her, only to find that he didn't turn around to look at her. He still had that indifferent look, as if everything that had just happened was irrelevant to him.

Chihaya Aine's heart sank slightly, and the smile on her lips vanished completely.

Her eyes dimmed, she lowered her head, bit her lower lip slightly, revealing her sharp canine teeth, as if she was suppressing her emotions.

When she was rejected before, she could still smile and say "It's okay" in a relaxed manner. But now, in this silent atmosphere, the girl realized that her feelings were more complicated than she had imagined.

Chihaya Aine is like an abandoned puppy; she doesn't want to admit it, but the feeling of loneliness can't help but surface in her heart.

She sighed softly, staring down at the tips of her shoes, trying hard not to look at the receding figure.

"Ruo Ye Ye, can't you care about me even a little bit?"

She muttered it to herself, but didn't actually say it aloud.

In the end, the girl simply puffed out her cheeks slightly, quietly quickened her pace, and tried to catch up with the figure ahead—

Even if it's just a little bit, even if it's just a moment, she wants to be closer to him.

To determine whether the person in front of you is the one in your dream.

Where should we go next?

Taking out her phone, Ichinose Wakaba glanced at the time; it was 4 PM.

In Japan, where a relaxed education system is in place, this is the time when school ends.

Next, students who want to continue their studies will attend tutoring classes. Those who don't want to continue their studies and want to experience youth can go to places like karaoke or LoveHotle with their friends.

Or like Ichinose Wakaba before, she might find a place to work because of poverty.

Now, thanks to the allowance given by Ms. Nagasaki and the success of Youter, Ichinose Wakaba no longer has to worry about money.

So, right now, Ichinose Wakaba is like someone who has suddenly lost their purpose—what should she do next?

As for YouTube, since the video was uploaded just last night, there's no need to worry about it.

As for other things, Ichinose Wakaba couldn't think of anything else to do.

"Oh, how about we go to Starry Night?"

Ichinose Wakaba suddenly remembered that he had planned to go to the Starry Sky last week, but due to some unexpected circumstances, he had not been able to go.

"If we go to the stars, we'll run into Pochi-chan and the others, right?"

I searched on my phone and found that the band Endless hasn't been created yet.

So, after thinking about it, and having nothing else to do, he decided to go to Shimokitazawa to see if he could run into Nijika's mother and trigger a life simulation.

Thinking this way, Ichinose Wakaba arrived at a nearby station and went inside to buy a ticket to Shimokitazawa.

Just then, the phone inside my pants rang.

Nagasaki Sase: Wakaba-kun, a friend from the Moon Forest is coming to our house today.

Nagasaki Sase: A very gentle and quiet, adorable child.

Nagasaki Sase: If I cause you any trouble, please let me know.

Nagasaki Sase: I will try my best not to let her bother you, Wakaba-kun.

Nagasaki Sase: Also, what would you like to eat tonight, Wakaba-kun?

Faced with the barrage of messages from Nagasaki Sase, Ichinose Wakaba wore a troubled expression. This was partly due to Nagasaki Sase's excessive attention, and partly due to Nagasaki Sase's friends.

"The child who doesn't talk much, is it Mu?"

Aside from the shameless Chihaya Aine who followed her over, Ichinose Wakaba felt that only Ruoba Mutsumi could be invited to Nagasaki Sosei's home.

So, people who didn't want the hassle started replying to Line messages.

Ichinose Wakaba: Sorry, I might not be having dinner at home tonight.

The message was sent on Line and received a reply immediately, so quickly that Ichinose Wakaba didn't even have time to send an explanation.

Nagasaki Sase: Huh? Is something wrong, Wakaba-kun? If there's something wrong, you must tell me. My mom and I will help you.

Nagasaki Sase: Is Wakaba-kun still working a part-time job?

Ichinose Wakaba: No, I wanted to go to Shimokitazawa.

Nagasaki Sase: Shimokitazawa?

Ichinose Wakaba: Yeah, I want to go there to relax.

Watching the siblings chat, Ruoye Mu used her phone to search for Shimokitazawa to relax. Suddenly, some content appeared on the girl's phone.

[Only 5000 yen for 2 hours.]

Become a member and receive 20 RMB per month for 2 hours of service every day!

[We have all kinds of styles.]

Although not as famous as Kabuki, Shimokitazawa is actually quite captivating.

Seeing the information that Ruoye Mutsumi had searched on her phone, Nagasaki Sase became even more worried. Ignoring the light green-haired girl, the brown-haired girl began bombarding her with text messages.

Nagasaki Sase: Wakaba-kun, that kind of thing is too early for you.

Nagasaki Sase: You can't do that kind of thing.

Nagasaki Sase: That kind of thing isn't good for your health either!

As your older sister, I absolutely cannot let you, Wakaba-kun, do that kind of thing!!!

Suddenly, Nagasaki Sosei sent a lot of messages, so much so that Ichinose Wakaba regretted replying to him.

Chapter 90 Ruoye Mu in Action

Ruo Ye Mu felt that her friends were acting very strangely today, especially her younger brother.

Neither in the past nor in the future has the girl with light green hair ever heard of the other person having a younger brother.

In the dream, Nagasaki Sosei's final fate is to live a lonely life.

Therefore, Ruoye Mu was very curious about the other party's younger brother.

This curiosity only intensified after seeing a photo of the younger brother passed on by a classmate.

Ruoye Mu: Mori Mina, a classmate invited me to her house today, so can I skip my ballet class?

Mina Mori: It's up to you. You can talk to the ballet teacher yourself.

The mother and daughter, whose relationship wasn't very good, ended their conversation, and Ruoye Mu got the chance to go and explore tonight out of curiosity.

Then, the light green-haired girl, who had gotten her chance, approached Nagasaki Sase after class: Sase, can I come to your house today?

Nagasaki Sōse was taken aback by Ruoye Mutsu's words, since Ruoye Mutsu had never been to her house before.

Just like a friend of a friend isn't necessarily a friend, the two people connected by Toyokawa Shoko didn't have the close relationship they presented to others.

However, after thinking it over, Nagasaki Sase agreed, realizing that it would be awkward with just her younger brother and that having more people would be better.

Incidentally, the brown-haired girl saw this as an opportunity to get more information about Toyokawa Shoko from Ruoye Mutsu.

Having learned most of the information in the dream and received confirmation from the girl with light green hair, Nagasaki Sase didn't really need to ask any further questions.

But not wanting to hurt Toyokawa Shoko's feelings, I wanted to make Nagasaki Sōse think more carefully—to find the best way to help Shoko.

So, after school, Nagasaki Sase, with Ruoye Mutsumi by his side, headed home.
