The shining Shoko Toyokawa

At this moment, Xiangzi was in a very sorry state. His plain clothes were torn into several holes, and his hair was stuck to his forehead because of the melted snow.

Being found in this place known as a suicide sanctuary, he certainly looks like someone who has lost his mind.

Xiangzi did not explain to the mother and daughter that he was just lost.

Instead, he said politely that he would not "think too much".

In order to avoid starvation, she hid Ke in a cave and then struggled to reach the side of the road.

But the drivers passing by didn't stop when they saw she looked like a ghost.

Fortunately, she met the Goto family who were returning from skiing, otherwise she might have caught a cold.

Xiangzi subconsciously stroked the smart watch on her wrist. She had taken it from the compartment under Cosi's driver's seat. Inside was a submachine gun, a set of driving clothes, and this watch.

It looks ordinary, just two sizes larger than an ordinary electronic watch, but it is actually a triple-proof device that will not be damaged by Minovsky particles.

Even in a place with no signal, he could pull out the antenna, send a telegram to Cauchy, and shake it to save himself.

The reason why Xiangzi wanted to leave Cosi and act alone was because Cosi was too big.

If you use it as a commuting tool, it will probably be in the news soon.

And the sea of ​​trees isn't very safe either.

If you want to practice driving the Cauchy, you need a more secluded place, such as a remote island. The island where Chuhua's family lives in Sanjiao is a good place.

If Xiangzi had asked Chuhua, he should have been able to borrow the island.

But there is no impenetrable wall. If I borrow the island and practice on it, it may affect Chuhua in the future.

Moreover, she didn't want her childhood sweetheart to see her current state...

"Gian ground forces have entered Elstan. A large number of local residents have not yet evacuated. Gian Prime Minister Yehu stated that those who have not evacuated are extremist Elstan terrorists..."

The car radio was playing news.

The classic two guests and one host discuss and evaluate the current Edge conflict.

“It’s really high and mighty!”

Xiangzi frowned, and from his pale lips came out a gloomy and weak voice, "You are obviously more than 9000 kilometers away from the battlefield..."

"Oh, there's nothing we can do. They make a living from this."

Xiangzi had lowered her voice so low that the Goto mother and daughter sitting next to her could not hear what she said.

But Mr. Goto in the front seat said, "Ms. Toyokawa, do you still care about these things?"

Xiangzi was a little surprised that Mr. Goto could hear what he said, but he nodded anyway. "In any war, malicious and indiscriminate attacks on civilians are absolutely wrong."

"Yes, it's wrong."

Mr. Goto steered around a pothole. "But this world is often unreasonable."

"Dear!" Ms. Goto glared at her husband unhappily, "I'm already upset, why are you still talking about this?!"

"Ms. Toyokawa, don't listen to him. He often failed history courses in college."

"I failed the exam because the history books were full of lies," Mr. Goto said, staring blankly at the road ahead. "History books, and everyone else, only believe what's best for them. Those who pursue the truth will fail the exam."

Xiangzi looked out the car window and saw that the snow was getting heavier.

Mr. Goto turned off the radio and said nothing more. Mrs. Goto comforted Xiangzi softly and said that if he had no place to go, he could stay at her house for a few days.

Xiao Erli also welcomes Xiangzi to visit her home.

But the blue-haired girl thanked him again and got off the car early. She insisted on paying the fare and turned away.

Because she was on a different path from them, and because of her pitiful self-esteem,

…………

……

"Can we meet? I'll be waiting for you at Waseda Station."

Xiangzi logged into LINE, which he hadn't logged into for a long time, and sent a message to his friend whose name was Li Xi.

Soon, the furious Shiina Riki arrived at Waseda Station.

She was just about to scold Xiangzi for leaving the band for no apparent reason and for damaging the lamp.

But when he saw Toyokawa Shoko, who was in a mess and being questioned by the patrolman, Li Xi couldn't help but be stunned.

Toyokawa Shoko, a student at Tsukinomori Girls' Academy, was a young lady. This spring, she even found the beverage machine novel. She was completely the stereotypical image of a young lady.

Li Xi had always thought so before today.

But now Toyokawa Shoko's legs were shaking, and just straightening her back to answer the patrolman's questions seemed to have exhausted all her energy...

Li Xi's heart seemed to be grabbed by something.

"Hey, aren't you a young lady? What's wrong with you?"

"Are you having any conflicts with your family?"

The black-haired girl unconsciously widened her purple eyes, and the anger that had accumulated on the tram disappeared in an instant.

"My friend is here to pick me up," Xiangzi spotted Lixi from the corner of his eye.

She bowed to the patrolman and walked towards Lixi with tired and weak steps.

The former Miss Toyokawa now had a pale face and her lips were frozen to light purple, like a seriously ill heroine on TV.

“What on earth… did you do to me!?”

The blame that Li Xi had been preparing for a long time turned into words of concern when he said it out loud.

'How could I possibly care about this guy!'

Li Xi would never admit this, admit that he actually cared about Toyokawa Shoko or something...

"The reason I didn't scold her was simply out of basic humanitarianism. Yes, that's for sure!"

"Um...Shiina-san, can you lend me some money?"

After preparing himself mentally, Li Xi was about to speak when he was interrupted by the other party.

As for Xiangzi's words, she couldn't help but doubt whether she had heard it wrongly. Did the sun-like Xiangzi Toyokawa actually need to borrow money from others?

Li Xi: “Huh???”

So, the words that came to my lips turned into meaningless surprise.

Chapter 5: I became weaker, is it because of CRYCHIC?

"So you want to borrow money from me without saying anything?"

At Hanezawa Coffee Shop, Li Xi crossed his arms and tapped his index finger on them irritably. "Hey, do you think I'm an idiot?"

"If it's an IOU, I'll write one."

For the next action, Xiangzi needs a camera that can be used in the environment of Minovsky particle dispersion.

Cosi gave her a list of the parts she needed, but even with the cash she borrowed from Miss Xia Ya, the money was still not enough.

The cake in front of Xiangzi had been eaten up. She wiped her lips with a tissue, looked into Lixi's purple eyes, and said seriously, "I will return the money to you within a week."

"That's not the problem!" Li Xi was very excited. "Aren't you going to meet everyone? It's all because of you. Deng is very sad! Su Shi has been looking for you too."

"What happens after we meet?"

Xiangzi was still looking at Lixi, "If I apologize to everyone again, will everyone be happy?"

"You bastard! Didn't you start the story of CRYCHIC yourself?!

He keeps talking about a community with a shared future, yet he escapes alone. The lamp is crying!"

"It was just a mistake made by youth,"

Xiangzi stubbornly did not avoid Lixi's angry eyes, nor did he continue to pester her.

"Goodbye, Li Xi..."

She took the bill and left her seat.

She also wants to quit her job at the convenience store. Although the boss will find a reason to deduct part of her salary, Xiangzi can also report the convenience store for fire hazards.

When she walked to Lixi's side, she whispered: "Take good care of the lamp, she needs you very much."

"and many more!"

Li Xi subconsciously grabbed Xiangzi's hand, but when she shook it, she was startled, "Hey, why are your hands so hot? Do you have a cold?!"

"Probably," Xiangzi said calmly, not intending to compete with the drummer in strength. "I'm going back to my lodgings to rest. Shiina-san, could you please let go of my hand?"

Li Xi subconsciously loosened his hand, then held it tightly again, "You're already like this, are you still trying to be tough?!"

She stood up and pulled Xiangzi to pay the bill. "Come with me! If I leave you alone, the lamp will be very sad!"

The reason why Xiangzi came to Lixi instead of looking for Chuhua, Mu, or Sushi was because for Lixi, the lamp was always the first priority.

To Li Xi, Xiangzi is now just an annoying former band member.

This is good. For Xiangzi, this is the best.

She was weak but she was dead. Now she has decided not to be tied to anyone anymore...

But, 'It's just a cold, why is my body so weak?'

Xiangzi's vision has become a little blurry.

'Is it because I met the CRYCHIC members again that I became weaker?

But this is the end...'

Kesi was unable to find any evidence on the Internet about who killed Xia Ya.

MI6 with Ying, Tepco in Area 11 and the forces behind it, as well as the Toyokawa family, all have motives to kill Xia Ya.

In this abstract world, upright adults like Xia Ya are always prone to losing their lives.

They either committed suicide by shooting themselves 5 times in the back,

Or die due to a vehicle 'breakdown',

But no matter what era, there are always such people!

"Ms. Xia Ya, I will change, and I will show you how I change!"

Yes, Xiangzi has decided to go to the battlefield and stop those tragic things.

But before that, she needed some more sleep and a ship that could sail 9000 kilometers away.

9000 kilometers is still too far after all. Without a logistics and maintenance team, even if Cauchy's aircraft rests and cools down while flying, its performance will be greatly reduced when it reaches the battlefield.

So, just like before, Xiangzi needs money, lots and lots of money!

…………

……

The golden eyes slowly opened, reflecting the unfamiliar ceiling.

The dim light illuminated this small room.

This is Lixi's home.

She followed the clear breathing sound in the quiet night,

Li Xi fell asleep on the computer desk, the computer screen was still on.

The cooling fan of the host computer runs from time to time, making a faint buzzing sound.

The image displayed on the screen is the homepage of a music composition software.

It seems that Lixi is learning to compose music.

Is it because you don’t want the band to end like this, or is there some other reason?

Xiangzi didn't think about it any further. To her, Crychik or music were no longer important...

She found a blanket to cover Lixi, drank the water that Lixi had placed on the bedside, and turned on her electronic watch.

It is 5 o'clock in the morning. Usually, she would have gotten up at this time.
