Mygo, are you all yanderes?

“But I like it very much.”

"Thank you very much."

Sensing that Kusano Akira's mood seemed to have improved, Wakaba Mutsumi's previously resentful gaze turned into a smile.

"Can I take a picture?"

"what?"

Kusano Akira didn't hear Wakaba Mutsu clearly, so he asked again.

"Let's take a picture."

Ruoye Mu repeated it again.

After hearing what Kusano Akira said, she also wanted to learn from him and find something she wanted to collect. Would those things then belong to her?

So she thought of the photograph. 2

The camera is truly a great invention, capable of permanently preserving time and memories in the form of photographs.

Since meeting Kusano Akira, her mood had been sunny except for the events involving Toyokawa Shoko during the day, so she wanted to record these moments. IV

It's a bit of a shame that we didn't start documenting things from the very beginning when they first met, but it's not too late to start now.

She originally only wanted to take a picture of Kusano Akira, but seeing that Kusano Akira hadn't heard her clearly, she became a little more demanding and changed her request.

She wanted to take a photo with Akira Kusano and save it.

"Oh, of course! Remember to send me a copy after you're done taking the photos."

"Then bend over."

After hearing what Wakaba Mutsu said, Kusano Akira bent down and looked at Wakaba Mutsu's camera.

As Ruoye Mu looked at the camera, she felt something was off, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it. She could only frown and check it over and over again.

"Should we take the band-aid off temporarily?"

Kusano Akira felt that they looked awkward no matter how he looked at them on camera, and proposed a solution to Wakaba Mutsu.

"And you used my phone, didn't you? Your screen is cracked like this."

"...That's fine."

Looking at her phone, which had become somewhat pitiful due to her monstrous strength, Ruoye Mu felt a little regretful that she couldn't record the first photo using her device.

It seems she needs to consider buying proper photography equipment.

If Ye Mu peeled off the band-aid, her forehead, which had previously had some scars, would now be smooth and white again, and there would be no trace of her previous injury.

"How come your wound heals so quickly? What kind of special medicine did you put on this band-aid? Why hasn't my wound healed yet?"

"...I don't know."

Kusano Akira looked at Wakaba Mutsu's forehead with a strange expression and handed him his phone.

Wakaba Mutsumi took Kusano Akira's phone, turned the camera back on, and pointed it at the two of them.

"..."

Wakaba Mutsumi glanced at Kusano Akira, and a second before pressing the shutter, reached out and pressed Kusano Akira's head, pressing their faces tightly together.

So the photo turned out like this—Wakaba Mutsumi's left hand was touching Kusano Akira's left cheek, their faces pressed tightly together. Kusano Akira had a surprised expression on his face as he looked at Wakaba Mutsumi, while Wakaba Mutsumi was staring straight at the screen with a slight upturn at the corners of his mouth.

After filming, Wakaba Mutsu immediately opened e and scrolled through her chat windows.

Kusano Akira had very few close friends, and most of them were people that Wakaba Mutsuya also knew; there were only one or two people she didn't know. (Alcohol)

Wakaba Mutsumi quickly found her location, sent the photo, and then returned the phone to Kusano Akira. (Saku)

"Here you go." Zero

"Ah, okay."

After reapplying the band-aid, Kusano Akira took the phone from Wakaba Mutsumi, set the photo as his wallpaper, and then put it back in his pocket. (Part 3)

He's accomplished another milestone in his life: taking a photo with friends. (Five)

"Speaking of which, why hasn't Toyokawa-kun come out yet?" Lu

Kusano Akira looked towards the school gate, his expression somewhat puzzled.

Even if she ran away, she still waited until the bell rang to leave. She had just chatted with Wakaba Mutsu for so long, so Toyokawa Shoko should have come out much earlier.

Shoko Toyokawa also works part-time outside of school, so it's impossible for her to waste time on club activities or other things.

"Ok?"

Kusano Akira suddenly noticed a familiar pink and gray color among the crowd leaving school, and his expression changed.

He had assumed that Chihaya Aine and Takamatsu Akari would go to the astronomy club for a while before practicing, as usual. He hadn't expected them to come out so quickly today.

If those two catch him, he'll probably get a lot of sarcastic remarks from Chihaya Aine, and Takamatsu Akari's Mighty Vajra Hand will be on him again.

Kusano Akira, busy fleeing, tossed a sentence to Wakaba Mutsu and then hid to the side.

"Mu, I'll hide for a bit. If the lamp sees you, please don't say my name."

"Okay...but why?"

"I skipped their appointment to come find you. I feel like I'd be tortured if they found out I was with you."

"I'll come back as soon as they leave."

"……Oh."

If Ye Mu was already in a good mood because of what happened earlier, her mood became even brighter after learning that Kusano Akira had even kicked out her teammates.

It seems that in Kusano Akira's heart, she is more important than his teammates.

Her goal of making Kusano Akira her only friend seems easier to achieve.

After Kusano Akira left, Wakaba Mutsu was all alone, standing alone at the entrance of Haneoka.

Because she is the daughter of a famous celebrity and has also appeared on some shows, Wakaba Mutsu is undoubtedly a big celebrity. Only someone like Kusano Akira, who doesn't follow the entertainment industry at all, would not know her.

Therefore, Wakaba Mutsu was undoubtedly a prominent figure in Haneoka. Passing students all secretly glanced at Wakaba Mutsu with excited expressions, occasionally whispering among themselves.

Such a large-scale event naturally attracted the attention of Chihaya Aine and Takamatsu Akari, who had just arrived at the school gate.

"Dengdeng, look, look!"

Chihaya Aine quickly patted Takamatsu Akari's shoulder, who was still looking at the ground and trying to find a new stone, drawing her attention to her.

"Isn't that Mutsumi Wakaba? Mori Minami's daughter!"

Wow, I really didn't expect to see her again!

Chihaya Aine clasped her hands in front of her chest and said in a somewhat wistful tone.

"Eri told me that Ba came to Qi a couple of days ago. I was disappointed that I didn't see her. I didn't expect her to come again today!"

"Could it be that she's looking for someone?"

Takamatsu looked up from the ground and gazed at Wakaba Mutsu in the distance, murmuring something to herself.

"Yes Mu..."

"Ok?"

Upon hearing Takamatsu Akari's words, Chihaya Aine suddenly remembered what Kusano Akira had said when they first formed the band, and she quickly opened her phone to search for it.

"So she's the guitarist for Crychic! I'd never noticed before..."

"Is she here to see you, Dengdeng? You two used to be teammates."

"...I don't think so."

Takamatsu looked in the direction of Wakaba Mutsu, pondered for a long time, and then shook his head.

"Mu must be here to see Xiangzi."

"Xiangzi, the one with the blue hair... I remember she was your keyboardist back then?"

"Tokyo is really small."

Chihaya Aine sighed.

Volume 1: Chapter 31 (Thirty) - Struggle

"She's still wearing the Moon Forest school uniform—Dengdeng, do you think she might be like Su Shishi, always saying 'Gui'an'?"

Chihaya Aine looked at Wakaba Mutsu's school uniform and sighed.

When I first met Nagasaki Motoyo, she kept calling her "Gui An" (a term of endearment for a wealthy young lady). Wakaba Mutsu looked even more like a rich young lady than Nagasaki Motoyo. I wonder if she has more or more serious rich young lady verbal tics than Nagasaki Motoyo.

But are all the students in the Moonlit Forest beautiful?

Nagasaki Motoyo, who is already stunning even without makeup, was already amazing to Chihaya Aine. Now, there's another beauty, Wakaba Mutsumi, who is even more beautiful than Nagasaki Motoyo.

Although she felt she shouldn't use this as something to brag about, Chihaya Aine was still a little narcissistic about her appearance.

But ever since she started high school, one after another, girls just as pretty as her have appeared.

There are even women prettier than her.

"Dengdeng?"

"..."

Takamatsu looked in Wakaba Mutsu's direction for a long time, a hint of hesitation flashing in his amber eyes.

She was somewhat concerned about why Ruoye Mu was here.

First of all, it can be confirmed that Wakaba Mutsu definitely did not come to see her. Although they are not exactly strangers, they do not have much in common and are not close friends.

There's absolutely no way Wakaba Mutsu would come looking for her; besides her, only Toyokawa Shoko could make Wakaba Mutsu actively seek her out.

Takamatsu Akari became somewhat concerned once she thought about it being related to Toyokawa Shoko.

When school started, she really didn't expect that Toyokawa Shoko would not continue studying at Tsukimori, but instead chose to study at Haneoka.

After that, Takamatsu Akari kept trying to communicate with Toyokawa Shoko, but no matter what she did, Toyokawa Shoko ignored her as if she didn't see her.

Even now, she has been trying to get in touch with Toyokawa Shoko, but all her efforts have been in vain.

Takamatsu wanted to go up and ask Wakaba Mutsumi if her sudden arrival in Haneoka was related to Toyokawa Shoko. ~Four∩√'′

However, Takamatsu Akari simply didn't have the courage to take the initiative to talk to Wakaba Mutsu.

Just as Chihaya Aine said, she and Wakaba Mutsumi had been in the same band, so they should be quite familiar with each other.

but it is not the truth.

As mentioned earlier, the relationship between Takamatsu Akari and Wakaba Mutsuki was at best limited to 'friends', and could not even be considered close friends.

But this doesn't mean that Takamatsu Akari doesn't want to get along with Wakaba Mutsu; on the contrary, she wants to get along with everyone in Crychic.

But it was just a thought; she couldn't learn to communicate with others, and she couldn't get along with everyone like Toyokawa Shoko.

Because Takamatsu Akari doesn't consider herself 'human'.

Because we are not human, we cannot empathize with others, communicate smoothly with others, or laugh with others.

So, facing the fierce Shiina Ritsuki, the gentle Nagasaki Motoyo, and the taciturn Wakaba Mutsu, Takamatsu Akari didn't know how to get along with them.

Especially Wakaba Mutsu.

While the first two also left Takamatsu Akari bewildered, neither was as perplexing to her as Wakaba Mutsuki.

They were both not good at expressing themselves and rarely spoke together. After Crychic disbanded, they had no common ground and became two parallel lines.

There was never any chance for them to get along, and Takamatsu Akari always felt that Wakaba Shiki had the same 'realness' as a human being as Toyokawa Shoko and Nagasaki Motoyo.

Wakaba Mutsu was like a puppet that could only move according to the threads that connected her limbs.

But Takamatsu Akari never felt that it was true that Wakaba Mutsu was not human like her.

She could sense that, although neither of them resembled a human, Ruo Ye Mu was vastly different from her.

"Aren't you going to talk to her, Dengdeng?"

Seeing Takamatsu Akari suddenly standing still again, Chihaya Aine was no longer surprised.

Ever since she met Gao Songdeng, Gao Songdeng has frequently fallen into this state.
