Mygo, are you all yanderes?

"Then why... Xiaodeng, has Xiaoxiang contacted you? Has she said anything about Crychic or anyone else? Has she said why she quit in the first place?"

In her excitement, Nagasaki Motoyo poured out all the things she wanted to say to Toyokawa Shoko to Takamatsu Akari in a rapid-fire manner, even disregarding her usual gentle facade.

land"……"

"Wait, Su Shi, calm down."

Seeing that Nagasaki Motoyo had lost her usual rationality, Mishiina Tatsuki frowned and grasped her hand, which was tightly pressed on Takamatsu Akari's shoulder.

4. "Ah... I'm sorry."

It seemed that Nagasaki Motoyo only realized her reaction was a bit too much when she saw Shiina Tatsuki's gaze. She smiled a little embarrassedly, withdrew her hand from Takamatsu Akari, and patted her chest.

"I was just too excited. After all, it's been so long, and then suddenly there's news about Xiao Xiang..."

"I'm telling you, are you nostalgic for the band or for Xiangzi...?"

Shiina Riki glanced at Takamatsu Akari, lowered his voice, and said helplessly to Nagasaki Motoyo.

"Haha, of course it's the band..."

"Xiangzi doesn't want to talk to me."

Gao Songdeng suddenly spoke again, her dejected mood revealed in her tone, and the whole atmosphere became extremely gloomy.

"Well……"

Nagasaki Motoyo bit her lip upon hearing Takamatsu Akari's words.

She had initially thought that Toyokawa Shoko might treat Takamatsu Akari better than she treated her, but now it seemed there was no difference at all—Takamatsu Akari might even be worse, since she was ignored in real life.

“I tried to talk to Xiangzi, but she wouldn’t talk to me…”

"Tsk, that Xiangzi guy..."

Shiina Riki raised an eyebrow, her tone becoming somewhat aggressive.

"..."

"Let's not talk about this anymore, okay?"

Seeing that the atmosphere around Takamatsu Akari and Shiina Tatsuki had become gloomy again, Nagasaki Motoyo had a headache, but she still smiled and gently touched the palm of her other hand with her index finger, and said.

Since she has already secured Toyokawa Shoko's position, which is a significant step forward compared to before, there's no need to continue asking questions here.

　夿≥[武≮簯〃瘤♀_琉—仨∮』私＄№肆※栮焦（'溜″群。: First, change the status of Gaosong Deng and Lixi.

"..."

"Speaking of which, Lixi is really amazing. She finished writing the score in such a short time."

Nagasaki Motoyo smiled and steered the conversation toward Shiina Tatsuki.

"Huh? Why are you suddenly bringing this up?"

Shiina Riki's expression became somewhat unnatural due to Nagasaki Motoyo's sudden praise. Not being good at accepting compliments, she turned her face away.

"It's just a simple piece of writing, it's definitely not as good as Xiangzi's..."

"Huh? Really? So that's what you think, Lixi. But I think Lixi is better than Xiaoxiang, right? Xiaodeng thinks so too, right?"

Seeing Shiina Riki's stubbornness, Nagasaki Motoyo simply dragged Takamatsu Akari into the fray as well, knowing full well that Shiina Riki greatly admired Takamatsu Akari.

"..."

Shiina Tatsuki secretly glanced in Takamatsu Akari's direction, as if anticipating something.

"..."

"Yeah, Lixi is amazing..."

Takamatsu Akari kept looking in the direction the pink-haired girl had run off in, her brows furrowed. When Nagasaki Motoyo brought up the topic of her, she replied absentmindedly.

Although she often spaced out, she did react to the commotion just now, and she always felt very concerned about that strange pink-haired girl.

Volume 1: Chapter 53. Interrogation (2k)

"Really? I didn't actually..."

Hearing Song Deng's approval of her, Shiina Tatsuki's voice revealed undisguised joy. She tried her best to act as if she didn't care as usual, but her reddened earlobes and surprised tone completely exposed her true thoughts.

"Um……"

Takamatsu Akari nodded, shifting her gaze from the pink-haired girl to Nagasaki Motoyo. Her thin lips parted slightly, revealing her pearly teeth, as if she wanted to say something to Nagasaki Motoyo.

"Su Shi..."

"Hmm, what's wrong, Little Lamp?"

Nagasaki Motoyo saw Takamatsu Akari look at her and asked in a gentle tone, appearing calm and composed.

[Next stop, Kishimogami Station. Passengers disembarking, please check your belongings.]

Before Nagasaki Motoyo could answer Takamatsu Akari's question, the station bell rang precisely on time, and Takamatsu Akari's open mouth closed again as the bell interrupted her.

"We've arrived at Xiaodeng's home. Let's get off the bus."

Nagasaki Sosei saw Takamatsu Akari get all fuzzy again, stood up voluntarily, and walked gracefully to the train door, waiting for the train to arrive at its destination.

"..."

"Light, let's get up."

Takamatsu Akari and Shiina Tatsuki also got up and walked to the car door, following Nagasaki Motoyo's actions.

After a brief pause, the train stopped at the station. Nagasaki Motoyo and the others disembarked. When Takamatsu Akari stepped out of the train, she paused, her gaze fixed on a reappearing pink color. A strange glint appeared in her dark, amber eyes.

"Little Lamp, what are you doing? That's dangerous!"

Nagasaki Motoyo's voice came from the front. Having stepped out first, she noticed Takamatsu Akari had one foot outside the carriage but the other still inside, and said with concern, "..."

"...I'm here."

It wasn't until Nagasaki Motoyo reminded her that Takamatsu Akari reluctantly came out. She had wanted to see what the girl looked like, since just seeing her made her mind seem to fill with a cacophony of screams.

It was as if it were reminding her that this person was very important.

After the three left, the carriage returned to silence. The pink-haired girl—Goto Ichiri—cautiously returned, looked in the direction the three had gone, and sighed with lingering fear.

"This is absolutely terrifying! Does he usually associate with people like this?" Wu

Because she wanted to separate her high school and junior high school education, Goto Ichiri deliberately chose a high school far from home, which meant she had to take a long train ride home every time.

Because she was determined to see the show next week, she even got off the bus midway today and took a different route, just to check out RIG in person.

That's why she's been a social butterfly on the train since right after school, and she's still on the train now.

Seeing the spacious venue of RIG and the fashionable aura of the people inside, she felt it was too much to bear and quickly left.

Then she was ambushed on the train—the group of Crychic people that Kusano Akira showed her boarded the train at the same time as her, and they even sat right across from her.

This really made Goto Ichiri's fragile little heart pound.

She was already powerless against dazzling people, let alone those who were musicians in a super popular band in her eyes.

She clearly saw that the girl with the amazing figure was wearing the Moon Forest School uniform. For an ordinary student like her, this kind of prestigious school was a complete game-changer.

Of course, if that were all, Goto Ichiri would be somewhat prepared, since she had decided to go to that RIG next week.

But the most terrifying thing was the feeling emanating from those girls.

Miss Tsukimori is alright, but the other two are terrifying, one more frightening than the other.

That black-haired girl was clearly so beautiful, but she gave off the feeling of a muscular, strong man. Just one glance from her was enough to make Goto Ichiri melt with fear.

Not to mention the stiffness in her voice, which perfectly matched all of Goto Ichiri's guesses about her: her fierce tone and cold expression were exactly like those of a yakuza.

Of course, although she was scary, she didn't give off as much of a creepy feeling as the short-haired girl next to her.

Upon seeing that girl, Goto Ichiri's first thought was—ah, she's the same type of woman as me.

But soon after, her impression of that girl completely changed.

The girl's eyes were even more eerie than the one with black hair. Although her eyes were very lively, Goto Ichiri could sense an emptiness in them.

Moreover, she was staring intently at Goto Ichiri. Even after arriving at the station, she didn't get off the train but kept looking towards Goto Ichiri's hiding place.

If it weren't for the people around her reminding her, Goto Ichiri might have even suspected that she simply wouldn't get off the bus.

"..."

Goto Ichiri looked down at her phone and saw the message "Hey, I saw your teammates!" in the input field. She hesitated for a moment, then ultimately deleted it.

"I think I'll pass. What if he goes back and asks his teammates, and then finds out I'm such a gloomy girl..."

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

"Little Lamp, Lixi and I will leave you here for now. See you later~"

After they walked to the overpass, Nagasaki Motoyo smiled and waved goodbye to Takamatsu Akari.

"See you tomorrow, lamp."

Shiina Tatsuki nodded and said to Takamatsu Akari.

"OK Bye Bye……"

Takamatsu Akari said in a low voice. After giving Nagasaki Motoyo a deep look, she slowly walked towards her home.

As Takamatsu Akari's figure gradually disappeared into the distance, Nagasaki Motoyo's smile lost some of its insincerity. She turned to look at Shiina Tatsuki, who was already prepared, and said calmly.

"It's finally time for us to be alone, Riki."

"Ah."

Shiina Tatsuki nodded gently and spoke calmly to Nagasaki Motoyo.

"Su Shi, tell me who you are... uh, the lamp?"

Nagasaki Motoyo looked at Shiina Tatsuki's expression and became surprised. She stared behind her and said Takamatsu Akari's name with some surprise.

"Little lamp...?"

Nagasaki Motoyo turned around in confusion, and then felt a strange force gripping her arm. She saw that Takamatsu Akari, whom she thought had left, had run back. Her beautiful eyes gleamed with an eerie light. Seeing Nagasaki Motoyo's somewhat flustered expression, she asked loudly again.

"Su Shi, what do you want to do? What do you want to do to Ming?"

Volume 1: Chapter 54 (Fifty-two). Exoneration (2k)ba

"Xiao Deng, let go of my hand first...!"

Nagasaki Motoyo felt an indescribable pain coming from where Takamatsu Akari was holding her arm. She tried to pull her arm out of Takamatsu Akari's grasp, but no matter what she did, she couldn't. So, in pain, she quickly said to Takamatsu Akari what was happening.

"Ah, I'm sorry..."

Upon hearing Nagasaki Motoyo's words, Takamatsu Akari, realizing she had unintentionally hurt someone again, released her hand with a face full of guilt, her voice softening once more.

Upon seeing Takamatsu release her grip, Nagasaki Motoyo immediately pulled her arm back, tenderly rubbing her still aching arm.

Nagasaki Motoyo had no doubt that if Takamatsu Akari had loosened her grip any later, her arm might have swelled up considerably the next day.

"Little Lamp, how did you become so strong?"

Takamatsu Akari's abnormal strength naturally caught Nagasaki Motoyo's attention. She looked at Takamatsu Akari with concern, feeling uneasy because Takamatsu Akari's condition was similar to hers and Wakaba Mutsu's.

It would be bad if this really turned out to be some kind of new infectious disease.

"I have no idea……"

Takamatsu Akari wanted to take two steps back, but when she thought of the purpose of her return, she stopped in the end. She shook her head, stared straight at Nagasaki Motoyo, put her hands in front of her chest, and mustered up her courage to speak.

"Su Shi, what are you going to do to Ming?"

"..."

"I don't understand what you're saying, Little Lamp."

Nagasaki Motoyo dropped her previous concerned expression and put on a fake smile again. When she heard Takamatsu Akari's words, she said them without changing her expression, while a warning was rising in her mind.

She hadn't expected Takamatsu Akira to be so perceptive. She had only asked Takamatsu Akira's opinion briefly, yet he had already figured out her intention to harm Kusano Akira.

Her main goal this time was Shiina Tatsuki. It was only a rare opportunity for Takamatsu Akari to leave, and she couldn't let Takamatsu Akari come back, otherwise Shiina Tatsuki would definitely be influenced by Takamatsu Akari.
