"...Tsk."
Shiina Tatsuki, standing there, turned her head away, still feeling somewhat uneasy.
After hesitating and agonizing for a long time, she finally couldn't help but click her tongue softly, turn around and leave towards the bedroom.
Nagasaki Motoyo, completely absorbed in her unease, seemed oblivious to Riki's temporary avoidance.
She remained trembling in Kazami's arms, struggling to savor the hard-won warmth.
As Kazami listened to the girl's repeated apologies, he responded gently, "I already knew what you were saying, Suze. It's nothing to me."
Nagasaki Motoyo's body trembled, and she looked up, somewhat at a loss.
"...You really don't hate me?"
Why should I hate Su Shi?
"Minghuan...do you like me?"
"I like it, that's beyond question!"
The girl gently sniffed, and the unease and fear in her heart gradually dissipated in that instant.
Holding Kazami Mei in her arms and listening to his comforting words, Nagasaki Motoyo, who had just been overwhelmed by negative emotions, quickly calmed down. However, this did not mean that the tension in her heart had completely dissipated. The fear she had felt just a moment ago had made her so scared that she could not maintain her rationality.
"It's alright, I'll always be by your side."
Kazami patted the girl's back as if coaxing a toddler, comforting her for several minutes before calming down the slightly red-eyed Suze.
Seeing the girl's fragile state, Kazami sighed softly. He hadn't intended to directly expose Miss Suze's thoughts; he simply wanted to subtly guide her to accept them. However, he hadn't expected her emotions to erupt like a flood.
As her lover, Kazami Naruto could naturally discern the emotions Nagasaki Motoyo was expressing. Right now, she was clearly on the verge of tears. If Kazami Naruto ignored her at this moment, he didn't even dare to imagine what would happen to Motoyo given her personality.
However, it has now become this state—
Regardless of what Miss Su Shi thought before, she will probably be much more restrained now.
……
"What's going on now?"
After temporarily comforting Miss Suyo, Kazami Naru went to the bedroom, where the impatient Riki immediately came up to ask what was wrong.
Seeing this, Feng Jianming simply shrugged, unsure how to relay what had just happened to the other party.
In the end, he simply shook his head slightly, responding with a hint of helplessness: "Overall, judging from the result, it's probably not too bad, right?"
"...What kind of riddle are you talking about?"
Shiina Tatsuki simply rolled her eyes, offering a blunt and cold critique of Mr. Kazami's riddle-solving behavior.
"It means that Su Shi has calmed down quite a bit now, but she is still a little uneasy."
"Lixi, you don't need to worry too much about Su Shi's situation. Su Shi doesn't actually have any bad intentions. If she has any problems later, I will take responsibility... cough cough. Of course, she will also need Miss Lixi's help at any time. It would be even better if you could get along well with Su Shi."
Kazami Mei noticed the sudden change in Riki's expression and quickly spoke up. Upon hearing this, Shiina Riki turned her head away with a tense expression.
"No, I just can't get along with that guy."
Shiina Tatsuki already harbored resentment towards Nagasaki Motoyo because of what had happened before. In addition, her rigid and straightforward personality seemed to naturally dislike women with fake smiles, which led her to dislike Nagasaki Motoyo's smiling personality as well.
"I'm counting on you for this, you all-powerful Riki A-Dream!"
"...What a strange name, is it a raccoon dog?"
Seeing Kazami Naruto's hands clasped together, seemingly about to unleash a Chibaku Tensei to threaten her, Shiina Tatsuki, left with no other choice, could only sigh. She rubbed her slightly sore temples, took a few deep breaths to calm herself, and then gradually relented.
"Okay, okay, I'll try my best to get along with her."
"There's really nothing I can do... I'm already dating you now, so I can only stay on this ship forever."
Shiina Riki feigned displeasure with a coquettish sigh, but her shy face could not conceal the feelings in her heart.
Actually, it wasn't just Shiina Ritsuki who unilaterally obeyed Kazami Mei's request. Just now, that despicable and wicked woman Nagasaki Motoyo, whom she considered incorrigible, actually showed such an attitude in front of her, which made Ms. Ritsuki's mood somewhat complicated.
Su Shi, how could she actually make that kind of expression?
Seeing Shiina Ritsuki's expression, Kazami raised an eyebrow and then smiled, saying, "Thank you so much for leaving just now, Ritsuki. Otherwise, Suze probably wouldn't have been able to compose herself so quickly."
"...I was just too embarrassed to be there. Who knows if you guys will start kissing and cuddling later!"
Shiina Riki blushed slightly and gave a perfunctory reply, refusing to admit her true feelings.
However, what happened today was indeed quite surprising to her. The cunning Nagasaki Motoyo's transformation into this state left Shiina Tatsuki somewhat stunned. Upon reflection, she realized that it was all thanks to the information provided by Wakaba Mutsu; otherwise, today's outcome would certainly not have been the same.
Shiina Riki felt a little more trust in the expressionless little cucumber and decided to talk to her about what happened today when she got home.
But when the topic of 'going home' came up, Shiina Tatsuki suddenly seemed to remember something and frowned slightly as she continued to ask Kazami Mei, "So what are you planning to do tonight? Are you planning to let Suze stay at your place tonight?"
"You can tell that's impossible, my house can't even fit three people."
Kazami Mei's words, tinged with a certain meaning, made Shiina Tatsuki's ears turn slightly red. She coughed lightly and said in a deliberately serious tone, "Then... then I might as well give that guy a ride home! Anyway, we don't live too far apart, so that guy won't try to sneak away beforehand again..."
The girl's unnatural expression made Kazami Mei raise an eyebrow with a smile, and her meaningful gaze made Miss Riki's expression stiffen.
"...I, I'll go and call that guy out first!"
Feeling incredibly embarrassed, Shiina Ritsuki walked into the living room to find Nagasaki Motoyo. It was clear that she had originally planned to stay overnight, but if her 'girlfriend' stayed overnight, then Motoyo would definitely stay overnight as well. It would be better for both of them to go home!
Kazami Mei gazed at the small apartment, muttering with a hint of helplessness—
"It seems we need to move as soon as possible."
79
Chapter 79's aggressiveness seems a bit weak.
The next day, at four o'clock in the afternoon.
The slightly muffled rumble of the tram, accompanied by a gentle vibration, pulled the boy back to reality. The black-haired boy, with his arms crossed in front of him, leaned against the seat with a partition next to the tram door. He simply raised his head and looked out the transparent glass window.
The scenery and light that constantly flash before my eyes are like the rolling wheel of time, disappearing completely in the blink of an eye.
The entire carriage was filled with only a few scattered passengers, and he, sitting alone in the corner, felt a sense of loneliness emanating from the empty train.
But Kazami Mei simply propped her chin up and refocused her gaze on the various apartment and real estate agency advertisements on her phone, completely unconcerned.
"...Or, why not just choose an apartment in Setagaya or Shimokitazawa? Staying in Yokohama all the time wastes a lot of time taking the train every time."
Kazami Mei extended her index finger and gently pressed it against her forehead, beginning to seriously consider the question.
He is no longer the same person he was a few months ago.
Given the current situation where two or three girlfriends often come to visit at home, Kazami Naruto realized that his small single apartment was indeed too small. Whether it was a party or a special situation like yesterday's Ms. Suze, he couldn't even let her stay overnight.
Nagasaki Motoyo was still somewhat uneasy when she left. It was clear that Ms. Motoyo, who was extremely insecure, would find it difficult to recover her original state in a short period of time after suddenly experiencing a breakdown.
However, if Su Shi and Li Xi could stay at home for one night, this feeling of insecurity would quickly improve.
Thinking of this, Kazami Mei let out a long sigh of relief and muttered to himself, "I still need to pay more attention to Suze's situation, but the moving arrangements also need to be put on the agenda as soon as possible."
Or, why not just move to the Su family's place?
After all, the apartment where the Nagasaki family lived was a truly ultra-luxurious and spacious mansion. It could easily accommodate everyone and their instruments, even for a place like the Mygo band's previous 'training'. The location was also very convenient.
Such a suitable place made him almost want to move directly upstairs in the Su family's apartment building.
[Ikebukuro Station has arrived, Ikebukuro Station...]
The arrival announcement brought Kazami Mei back to his senses. Putting his thoughts aside, he grabbed the instrument bag leaning against him and stepped out of the train. Without hesitation, he strode forward towards LiveHosue 'RiNG'.
Recently, Kazami Mei has been busy preparing for her bet with Mori Minami, so she shouldn't have had time to come to RiNG, especially since today is Mygo's training rest day. Normally, other girls wouldn't go to such lengths to come to LiveHouse.
There is a special reason why I came here alone today.
"I wonder if Hailing has arrived yet?"
Kazami Mei stared at the LINE messages on her phone, then quickly walked into RiNG.
Stepping up the familiar stairs of RiNG to the second-floor cafe, I immediately met the gaze of Shiina Riki, who was wearing a work uniform. Ms. Riki, who was working today as well, was clearly a little stunned.
However, as Kazami Mei sat down at the bar, she couldn't help but move closer.
"Ming, what brings you to RiNG all of a sudden??"
"What's wrong? Can't you come and see the lovely Miss Lixi if there's nothing wrong?"
Kazami Mei's teasing words made Shiina Riki blush, but she just pretended to hide it by picking up the order form to cover her face.
After a stiff pause of a second, she replied in a slightly hesitant tone, "Come on... You only call me cute at times like this. What are you here for today?"
Don't make baseless accusations; he was just too afraid to speak up before.
Previously, Kazami Naruto and Shiina-san were genuine 'friends' and 'partners', and their private Line chats were always about music arrangement and training.
If Kazami Naruto were to suddenly say that she was cute one day, it's hard to imagine how embarrassed and annoyed Ritsuki would be.
Seeing that Shiina Tatsuki had seen through him, Kazami Mei responded nonchalantly, "Actually, I did come here today because I had something to do. Hailing was short-handed for support work today, so she simply called me over to be a laborer without any hesitation."
"Ah, so you're here to see Hailing?"
Shiina Ritsuki crossed her arms and turned her head away, her tone somewhat indifferent.
Even though she had a good relationship with Hachiman Kairin, she felt a little sour at this moment, because it was as if she was just Kazami Naruto who happened to come over to say hello.
"So, sir/madam, what would you like to order?"
The ice beauty with long, black hair reaching her waist gradually regained her original indifferent demeanor. She stood upright in front of Kazami Naruto, holding a ballpoint pen in her hand. A sharp glint flashed in her exquisite, upturned eyes, and a faint hint of dissatisfaction gradually appeared on her icy face.
Kazami Mei's lips twitched slightly upon seeing this, and then he habitually held up two fingers and replied, "This time, I'd also like two mochas, with sugar."
"...I still have to work right now, I don't have time to have coffee with you."
Shiina Riki gently shook the ballpoint pen in her hand, then glanced over in their direction with feigned nonchalance.
"No, I drink two glasses by myself."
Upon hearing these words, Shiina Riki suddenly furrowed her sharp, sword-like eyebrows, and her hibiscus-purple eyes shone with an icy glint. Her already delicate face was instantly covered by a frosty chill.
Even the pen barrel, held tightly by the fingertips, made a clicking sound at this moment.
Upon seeing this, Feng Jianming raised his hands without hesitation, and apologized without hesitation in a gesture of surrender: "Sorry, I was just joking! It's just that Lixi is so cute when she's jealous that I couldn't help myself. Of course, I ordered two drinks to invite you to drink with me!"
"You idiot, who are you saying is jealous!"
Shiina Riki's beautiful eyes widened instantly, and she reached out to grab his sleeve, somewhat embarrassed and annoyed.
You see, it's urgent.
Sensing the 'sour smell' emanating from the vinegar jar, Kazami Mei raised an eyebrow and coughed before continuing to explain, "Actually, I'm not just here to find Hailin. After all, it'll be a while before that band that needs support arrives."
"The reason I came here early is, of course, because I want to talk to Lixi."
"Huh? All talk and no action..."
Shiina Ritsuki blushed slightly as she took out the menu to cover half of her face, revealing only her charming and elegant purple eyes and her stunningly beautiful beauty mark.
What an easy woman to please.
"But I already said I have to work, I don't have time to drink with you, right?"
"This should be fine. I think Rinrin-nee has already agreed."
Kazami Mei shifted her gaze, gesturing for Shiina Tatsuki to look towards the service counter not far away. There, she saw Shinji Rinko, also wearing a RiNG uniform, smiling and raising her hands above her head in a circular motion to indicate 'agreement'.
This left Miss Lixi with no reason to say anything more.
"...You can only rest for a short while, and this is a one-time exception!"
Shiina Tatsuki only glanced at him briefly, and then sighed slightly with a hint of helplessness.
Since the two of them officially became a couple, Shiina Tatsuki, who used to be cold and impatient, has changed a lot without her realizing it; even though she was angry and didn't want to talk to him because she was teased, she immediately softened and gave in again after being coaxed a little.
She really had no choice.
"Mmm!"
Shiina Ritsuki had barely sat down beside him when she realized that her fingers were being gently held in his hand. Her face flushed red, Ritsuki made a token attempt to struggle, but Kazami Mei held on so tightly that she couldn't break free. Overwhelmed by shame, she gradually gave up resisting.
Shiina Riki couldn't help but roll her eyes at the boy beside her, then deliberately blushed and gave a soft snort, letting him continue to hold her hand.
Kazami Mei merely smiled slightly, focusing her gaze on the steaming, fragrant coffee cup in front of her. Then, she said with a touch of melancholy, "Speaking of which, it does seem somewhat familiar. We were sitting together drinking mocha coffee last time too."
"...Was that because of Su Shi? You still had to come and apologize to me."
Shiina Tatsuki frowns slightly when she recalls the scene, and even now she still feels that Kazami Mei should not have apologized to her back then.
