I will swear to protect the beauty with my life

This school festival is more than just a school festival for Rikka and Yuta.

Tohka is very happy. She is happy that Rikka can mature and come out of her chuunibyou. Yuta is also happy. He is happy that Rikka can return to normal and learn to grow up.

Yes, Liuhua has grown up, learned to face reality, learned to mature, learned to grow, and learned to communicate normally with others...

So, what is the price?

Three weeks have passed in the blink of an eye. During these three weeks, Rikka, who listened to Yuta and accepted the reality, is actively learning how to communicate with others. Her teacher is Dan's mother, Nibutani Morika, who already has experience as a junior high school graduate and is at the same level as Rikka's mother.

During these three weeks, Rikka was still a little uncomfortable with not wearing the eye patch suddenly. She was also actively adapting to normal life. She promised Yuta to get out of her chuunibana. At first, she had to suppress herself to stop uttering chuunibana words, but she did not give up. Her mother also moved in with Rikka. According to Yuta's observation, the two of them communicated well, and Rikka did not really hate her mother.

Everything seemed to be going in the right direction, but as the time for Touka's departure got closer, Rikka's mood started to get worse day by day.

Soon, no matter how reluctant Ruka was, time would not give her more time, and Juuka had to leave.

Rikka's mother happened to be out, so Touka called Yuta to come up and help pack up.

When Shihua went abroad, she only brought a box of clothes and sundries with her, and left the rest here.

"Is this all you have?"

"I'm going to settle there after all, so it's cheaper to buy most things there directly. Thanks for coming to help."

Shihua took out a recorder from his pocket and clicked play. The recorder contained the dark history of Yuta that he had been thinking about, which was also the handle that Shihua had in his hands. Yuta didn't expect that Shihua would insult him when he was about to leave, but Shihua didn't do it to insult Yuta...

"This is a thank you gift."

He threw the recorder in his hand to Yuta, who hurriedly caught it. Before he could raise his head, Touka hugged his head and pressed it against his chest for a hug.

"If there's anything I didn't say before, let me make it up now... Thank you, Yuta, thanks to you, I can embark on my journey with peace of mind, really... Thank you very much."

After patting Yuta's head, Juhua released him. Yuta didn't react to Rikka's single-minded devotion. Instead, he felt a little... because of the heavy words he heard from Juhua.

Before Yuta could come to his senses, Rikka walked out of the room with something that Juuka asked her to get.

Rikka has been getting sadder and more normal lately. The private clothes she wears now are no longer Gothic, or even her favorite black. She wears a khaki outfit and a red long skirt, and looks like a pure and lovely little sister. The beautiful clothes that could have made Yuta blush, coupled with Rikka's melancholy face, make Yuta feel distressed and lost.

"elder sister......"

No longer a saintly counselor, but a sister.

"Mom will be back soon..."

"No, I won't be able to catch the plane if I wait any longer. Please say goodbye to her for me."

Touka was neat and tidy, and in her opinion there was nothing wrong with it, it just took some time to get used to it...

Seeing Rikka crying, Tokka walked up to her and hugged her. Tokka had always loved Rikka, but she couldn't communicate with her because of Rikka's chuunibyou. She needed to maintain the image of an older sister in order to calm Rikka down. But now... that was no longer necessary. Tokka was just a reliable sister who loved her deeply. It would be better to say that she had always been like this.

After all, Touka has lived upstairs in Yuta's house for so long, and now she has to leave, the Togashi family will naturally come out to see her off. The one who is most reluctant to let her go is the little cutie Mengye, who is willing to play drinking with Touka every time she comes.

The taxi arrived and it was time for Touka to leave. Mengye was reluctant to let her go, and so was Rikka.

"in vain--"

Meng Ye's soft crying voice was a little cute, which made Shihua laugh out loud, but the next second...

"Let me see the child."

The shocking words shocked Zhangye and Yongta.

This is the benefit of super-realistic house wine, do you see it?

Finally, he touched Mengye's head, agreed to her cute request, said goodbye to everyone, and Touka looked at Rika, whom he was most worried about.

"I'll email you, and you should email me too."

Touka smiled and nodded, got into the taxi and left. Rikka kept watching until the car turned a corner and disappeared around the corner.

Yuta looked at Rikka...Yes, Rikka has grown up and matured. She can face reality and communicate with others well. But what is the price?

It had been a long time since Yuta had seen such a light in Rikka's eyes.

......................................................

Rikka stood in front of Yuta's house. Since Juuka left, she has been living with her mother. Overall...it's not bad.

She tries hard to be a normal person, and it has become a routine for her to go to school with Yuta every day.

Standing at the door, trying to calm her breathing, Rikka tried hard to recall the knowledge about communicating with people that Nibutani taught her. She was ready before she pressed the doorbell.

Now she is no longer the middle school girl she used to be. The white lace that she had added on the hem of her skirt without permission has been removed, and there are no messy decorations on her clothes and hair. Even the unnecessary things on her schoolbag have been taken off by her. Even the black stockings she had been wearing have been changed to white ones required by the school. Without the eye mask and the middle school girl look, Rika looks like a cute JK.

"Good morning...good morning...good morning..."

"Good morning, Sister Kotori. I'll go call my brother now."

Zhangye greeted Rikka with a smile on her face. She was also going to school, but she didn't expect Rikka to be so diligent... Her brother also understood the relationship between her and her, and she liked Rikka very much.

"Well...um, ma...please go call Yuta-san."

Zhangye was stunned for a moment, and recalled that Rikka was currently undergoing [training to return to normal], so he did not interrupt Rikka, but smiled gently and agreed again.

"OK--"

Just as Zhangye agreed, Fang Wuwei, wearing a school uniform and holding a toothbrush in his mouth, poked his head out from the back of the corridor. He glanced at Liuhua who was standing outside the door, greeted her, and then walked over to pull Yuta over.

"You boy!"

"Okay, okay~ I'll be leaving soon. Don't you want someone to wash the dishes for you~?"

He pushed Yongta out of the house with one hand and closed the door under Yongta's angry gaze, which made him so angry that his teeth were itching. He really didn't consider himself an outsider and stayed here every other day. What's more terrible is that Zhangye, Mengye, and even his mother stood on Konghong's side!

Well...I don't hate it either...

On the other hand, Liuhua, looking at the eye patch on Fang Wuwei's right eye, recalled her own glorious past and felt itchy in her heart... Perhaps, only by doing this, would Yuta be happy...
