Mygo, are you all yanderes?

Anyway, she knew Toyokawa Shoko's coordinates, so she could just go find her after the first performance.

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

【Wakaba Mutsumi: Help!】

"What's wrong with Xiao Mu this time?"

During lunch break, Kusano Akira and his two friends sat on the steps below the rooftop, eating lunch and chatting.

Chihaya Aine glanced at Kusano Akira's phone screen, then curiously leaned closer and whispered something to him.

"Who knows."

Kusano Akira calmly drank a mouthful of miso soup.

To be fair, Mortis's cooking skills are truly impressive; they are indeed many times better than what Kusano Akira makes himself. Even the most basic miso soup tastes completely different from what he makes.

Why are there such big differences when it's the same recipe?

"Mu?"

Takamatsu Akari turned her head, as if she heard a name that caught her attention from Aine's mouth.

There was no sign of Wakaba Mutsu in the illusion, but Takamatsu Akira still remembered that she had appeared at Kusano Akira's house yesterday and even answered her phone call.

Volume 1: Chapter 91 (Chapter 89) They're all coming back (2k)

Qi said, "It's definitely Mu."

Now that things have come to this, Kusano Akira has no intention of explaining to Takamatsu Akira why he knows Wakaba Mutsuki anymore. Anyway, their meeting after school yesterday and the phone call last night have already given him most of the answers.

[Wakaba Mutsumi: It's urgent.]

Ruoye Mutsu's fingers flew across the keyboard. Right now, she really wanted to find out what Kusano Akira's solution was. He had promised to tell her the solution last night, but she still hadn't received any information.

9. [Wakaba Mutsumi: Did you come up with a solution from yesterday?]

[Wakaba Mutsumi: I'm going there this afternoon too, what should I do?]

[Akira Kusano: Don't worry.]

After closing the bento box in his hand and placing it on the steps beside him, Kusano Akira held up his phone and replied to Wakaba Mutsumi's message.

Lin [Kusano Akira: I've agreed with Riki that we'll move the rehearsal time forward these next few days, so Suze won't have as much time to see Toyokawa.]

[Kusano Akira: I'll let Toyokawa know when the time comes. Everything's fine.]

[Wakaba Mutsumi: You and Sho can talk to each other?]

Ruoye Mutsu didn't quite understand why he was so confident that he could talk to Toyokawa Shoko properly. Toyokawa Shoko's behavior yesterday clearly indicated that she didn't like Kusano Akira very much.

[Kusano Akira: Thanks to my reliable and precise actions, I successfully discovered that Toyokawa-kun doesn't actually dislike me.]

[Wakaba Mutsumi: So you and I don't need to hide it from Sho anymore?]

Kusano Akira quickly covered the phone screen and smiled nonchalantly at Chihaya Aine and Takamatsu Akari, who were leaning closer.

If Ye Mu's behavior is so easily misunderstood, these two, especially Gao Songdeng, must not see it.

After confirming that Takamatsu Akira definitely liked him, Kusano Akira immediately noticed the strangeness of what had happened before.

It sounds a bit narcissistic to say this, but whether it's insisting on holding his hand or suddenly showing concern for him in front of Wakaba Mutsu yesterday, it all seems like Takamatsu Akari's possessiveness is acting up.

Yesterday, just because Mu answered the phone, she specially came to his house to catch him. Now, seeing Ruoye Mu's words, he can't even imagine what terrifying things might happen.

[Akira Kusano: Don't make things so easily that they can be misunderstood.]

[Akira Kusano: It would be terrible if someone saw me say that.]

[Kusano Akira: We still have to keep it a secret, since Toyokawa-kun's reluctance to let us have any contact remains unchanged.]

[Akira Kusano: But I think the day when we don't have to hide it will come very soon.]

[Wakaba Mutsumi: The way you talk is also very misleading.]

[Akira Kusano: Really?]

【Wakaba Mutsumi: Hmm.】

[Wakaba Mutsumi: There's one more thing.]

[Wakaba Mutsumi: Suze, let me go to your band's place tonight.]

[Kusano Akira: You want to join? That's great.] Naka

【Wakaba Mutsumi: No.】

【Wakaba Mutsumi: Just looking.】U

[Kusano Akira: Regret.jpg]

[Kusano Akira: You're coming with Motoyo this afternoon, right?]

【Wakaba Mutsumi: Hmm.】

[Kusano Akira: I understand.]

[Kusano Akira: You'll help us stall for Motoyo's time, and then we can naturally go to RIG together.]

【Wakaba Mutsumi: Okay.】

[Wakaba Mutsumi: After your group disbanded, did you have anyone to go home with?]

Ruoye Mu was a little shy when she typed this.

She really wanted to go out and have fun with Kusano Akira again, take new photos, and create new memories. She even brought her camera to school for this purpose.

However, he wasn't sure if Kusano Akira was willing, so he specifically asked.

[Kusano Akira: Yes, Motoyo.]

【Wakaba Mutsumi: ...Wasn't she very wary of you...?】

[Akira Kusano: Yes, but we were walking together before he became wary of me.]

【Wakaba Mutsumi: Oh…】

She was a little disappointed; what the other person meant was that they couldn't leave with her.

[Kusano Akira: But, I reckon she doesn't want to go with me now.]

[Kusano Akira: Shall we go together?]

[Kusano Akira: A panda from an ancient civilization.jpg]

【Wakaba Mutsumi: Okay.】

She wasn't disappointed anymore; in fact, she even considered searching online for photogenic spots in Tokyo that she hadn't previously considered.

[Kusano Akira: Are you alright? If you are, I'll go find Toyokawa-kun.] 9

【Wakaba Mutsumi: Hmm.】

Knowing that Wakaba Mutsumi didn't intend to continue, Kusano Akira put away his phone, straightened up, and handed the lunchbox to Chihaya Aine.

"Aine, could you please take my lunchbox back to the classroom for me?"

"Is there something you need?"

Chihaya Aine took the lunchbox with a puzzled look and asked. (Ugh)

"It is."

Kusano Akira decided to go talk to Toyokawa Shoko about this right now, since this was when he had the most free time, and going to see her during the break between classes would be too conspicuous.

"I'm not going to wash the dishes for you."

Chihaya Aine waved the box in her hand and said to him.

"Of course I know that. Anyway, I'm leaving. Bye-bye, Light."

"Bye-Bye……"

Takamatsu Akira waved to Kusano Akira's retreating figure, the bandages that had covered his hands had all been torn off, revealing smooth skin again.

"Let's go, Dengdeng."

Seeing that Takamatsu Akira was still looking reluctantly in the direction Kusano Akira had left, Chihaya Aine, who felt a little uncomfortable for some reason, stood up, blocked her view, and said to her with a smile, pretending that she hadn't noticed anything.

"……it is good."

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

After leaving the rooftop, Kusano Akira headed straight for the cafeteria without stopping.

Based on his experience yesterday, Toyokawa Shoko should be in the cafeteria right now.

"Kusano-san."

But before he could walk far, a hand suddenly reached out from around the corner and pulled him inside, followed by a slightly reproachful voice.

Kusano Akira looked in the direction of the sound and saw Toyokawa Shoko standing in front of him with one hand on her hip, looking at him with a reproachful expression.

Today, instead of her usual double ponytails, she let her sky-blue hair fall naturally and tied it into a princess braid.

It has to be said that these eight versions of her look completely different from her usual self. The four of them look more like a young lady than usual, and their temperament has become more noble.

"Ah, Toyokawa-kun, I've been looking for you!"

Seeing that the target he was looking for had appeared before him so quickly, Kusano Akira smiled happily.

"Tell me something honestly first: are your hands made of lamps?"

After returning home yesterday, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that Kusano Akira's hand injury was not right. After thinking about it carefully all night, Toyokawa Shoko discovered a frightening possibility.

The more Kusano Akira looked at his hand injury, the more it seemed to have been caused by someone, and at this point, the only people who could have contact with him were Mygo and a few others.

She thought of a possibility—could it be that the people from Mygo are also gradually returning, just like Wakaba Mutsu?

Volume 1: Chapter 92. The Lunch Break Is Not Over Yet (2k)

In fact, she had long anticipated that others would also return; there was no reason why she could do something that others couldn't.

But she didn't expect this moment to come so quickly.

Therefore, Toyokawa Shoko is very anxious right now. Although her memory is incomplete, she still remembers some of the extent to which the others were twisted.

Although Ruoye Mu was considered the more morbid among them, she could still have brief conversations with them occasionally when she was in a good mental state. However, there were a few people with whom she was completely unable to communicate.

If those people return, her plan to help Kusano Akira escape will completely fail.

"No, Toyokawa-kun, why do you think that?"

Seeing Kusano Akira still foolishly trying to hide it from her, Toyokawa Shoko's gaze grew increasingly dangerous.

This fool is still laughing so happily here, completely unaware of what he's going to go through in the future.

What should she do? Should she just go back to the Toyokawa family now, and use their abilities to tie him up and put him in their basement before anyone else does, thus preventing him from being captured by others...?

Anyway, his family didn't care much about him, otherwise they wouldn't have gone missing for eight years without ever looking for him. Besides, this way he could belong to himself alone...

"……what!"

Suddenly realizing that her thoughts seemed to be going astray again, Toyokawa Shoko snapped out of her reverie and quickly raised her hand, leaving a red mark on her fair face.

"Toyokawa-kun, what's going on...?"

Kusano Akira looked at the young lady in bewilderment. He really couldn't understand what she was thinking. She suddenly pulled him over and then suddenly hit him.

"It's okay, don't worry about it."

"I can't help but feel annoyed," said Toyokawa Shoko calmly, though inwardly she was filled with regret.

What a failure! She found herself unconsciously starting to think in that direction again. If she followed her heart and did what she just thought of, what difference would it make from before? Who knows if she'd have a second chance to start over? What if she didn't seize this opportunity…

"Since you, Kusano-kun, are unwilling to tell me, then I won't force you."

"But I told you yesterday, didn't I? Deng and her group are very dangerous. Why do you still want to have contact with them?"

"No, that's why you suddenly said that..."

Kusano Akira looked at the girl in front of him with some difficulty.

"Kusano-kun, just tell me directly, what will it take for you to stay away from them? I can do anything I can to help you with anything you ask for."

"stop!"

Kusano Akira rubbed his temples, looking helplessly at the serious-looking girl in front of him.
