Are you, as meal replacement users, ready for the consequences?

"I'm not going to think about it anymore."

Toyokawa Shoko didn't know, and didn't have time to think about it now.

Her only task at the moment was to take off Ningzi's clothes and put her in the nightgown that had just been taken off the hanger.

"Honestly, how old are you and you still sleep anywhere?"

Xiangzi touched Ningzi's forehead to confirm that the other person had not fainted from illness.

The school uniform was changed out, and Xiangzi carefully put the nightgown on Ningzi, trying not to wake her up.

Going to school is tiring, especially for a child like Ningzi who has only attended school for less than a month in his entire life. The completely unfamiliar mode can cause even greater distress.

Carrying Ningzi's school uniform and the dirty tracksuit she had worn during the day, Xiangzi walked to the washing machine.

While I was routinely reaching into my pocket to check for tissues, a bundle of things fell out of the tilted pocket.

On the ground, it made a silent thud.

"This is... money?"

Xiangzi didn't look closely; she just gave it a rough estimate and didn't dare to count it.

"How come... they're all 10,000 yen bills? Ningzi only had a little over 10,000 yen yesterday, how did it become..."

Six bills—at least six large bills fell out of the pocket.

And it's very new, like it was just withdrawn from the bank today or yesterday.

"Why did Ningzi suddenly have so much money after just one night...?"

Ningzi earned in a single day what others couldn't earn in half a month or even more.

"..."

Black crows flew past the window beside Xiangzi, bringing an eerie atmosphere. The moon hanging high in the sky was colorless, even somewhat transparent.

The night sky was empty, and countless invisible lights shone on Xiangzi's face, making her confusion and breakdown nowhere to hide.

"What exactly happened... Is this why Ningzi was so tired that she fell asleep?"

Yawata Kairin... Yawata Kairin...

You've lived another day, Hachiman Kairin...

Toyokawa Shoko gritted her teeth.

She vowed that she would find that person sooner or later.

Back in the bedroom, as Xiangzi was putting the money on the bedside table, he noticed a small green bear lying on its side near Ningzi's lower abdomen.

The green color under the light wasn't very deep, giving Toyokawa Shoko a very familiar feeling.

It is the color of harmony.

……

"It's good to have another day to live."

Happy Friday! What were you doing this time last week?

It's truancy.

Then I got some high-quality goods from Chu Hua, and I couldn't resist, so I chugged the whole can in one go, almost going to meet my mother who had been wandering in heaven for a long time.

However, in the case of Zisha (purple clay) pottery, one would surely be condemned to hell.

Toyokawa Ningko wrote in her notebook in neat handwriting:

[How tragic, she won't even see her mother after death. Ningzi is going to hell.]

[I won't be able to see Xiangzi again. She was so cute, she had to die after me, so I wouldn't hear the devastating news of her passing before I died... And my little Xiangzi was so adorable, she'll definitely go to heaven after she dies.]

Snapped--

Ningzi closed the notebook and placed it under her textbook.

It's a little past eight in the morning. I couldn't sleep, so I dragged my sister to school early.

Hehe, I just love seeing my sister still half asleep and being dragged around by me.

Xiangzi's dark circles were incredibly thick today, like a panda's, making him look like he barely managed to fall asleep late at night.

Ningzi propped her head up and exchanged a smile with the passing gray-haired penguin.

I spent my time before class daydreaming and playing with penguin feathers.

It wasn't until the first class of the day started and the homeroom teacher walked into the classroom that Ningzi snapped out of her daze and took out her textbook.

However, the teacher did not start the lesson immediately as usual.

She cleared her throat and clapped her hands toward the door.

"We have a new transfer student today! Welcome Chihaya to our class family!"

The students applauded and celebrated.

The students welcomed the newcomer in the same way they had welcomed Ningzi back then.

Only Toyokawa Ningko's movements stood out from the crowd.

Ningzi remained seated, only blinking in astonishment:

"Ugh?"

Chihaya? Chihaya Aine?

Ch120. Friday. The dead are about to revive.

"Although the Golden Week holiday is almost here, we are welcoming a new student today."

"I'm Chihaya Aine!" Her gleaming canine teeth sparkled. "I enrolled a little late due to family reasons, so I hope everyone will take good care of me!"

The adorable pink-haired girl bowed slightly and then quickly stood up, her right hand resting naturally on her handbag.

Aine's left hand clenched tightly without her being able to stop herself.

To be honest, I was still a little nervous, especially when that dazzling blue-haired girl came into Aine's sight.

[I can't believe it! I actually ran into Xiao Ning!]

[Be in the same class as Xiao Ai! Win!]

Toyokawa Ningko clapped a few times along with the crowd, welcoming Aine's arrival, but she wasn't particularly surprised.

Rather, when Ai asked her which class she was in last night, Ningzi guessed that this mischievous pink-haired girl would be transferring here soon.

Hehe, are you trying to suddenly come to school and scare me?

For you, Aine, guessing your little scheme is a hundred times easier than dealing with Shiina Ritsuki.

Moreover, is it due to family reasons?

Wow, that's a really grand reason.

Seeing that her classmates had stopped making a sound, Ningzi stopped clapping as well.

She remembered a joke she had seen before: an entrepreneur went abroad but couldn't stand it and came back. People asked him why he came back to China to start a business so late.

The man said: "It's due to family reasons."

"Chihaya-kun, please sit in the empty seat at the back."

"Hi!"

The empty seat the homeroom teacher pointed to was next to Ningzi, which made Aine even happier.

Little Ning, Little Ning, Little Ning! I'm here!

This time I'm going to make you give my teddy bear back! Even if you don't give it back to me, at least... you should give me one as a return gift, right?

"Please take care of me!"

"Ok!"

"Please take good care of me~"

"Good~"

"Our exhausted sideline club is hiring, do you have any...?"

"Ugh?"

The enthusiasm of the female students at Yuukoka remained unchanged; it was the kind of enthusiasm that Aine could truly feel.

These guys with questionable orientations are definitely not just putting on an act.

The fourth column, the last row, Ningzi is on the right, and there are others nearby...

"Huh? A stone?"

Chihaya Aine passed by Takamatsu Akira's seat, gasped softly, and covered her mouth.

She'd seen this person before! And she knew him very well!

That's the penguin who shamelessly wrestled with her Xiaoning in the grass that day!

Ai Yin nodded to the lamp without making a sound, and left without paying attention to whether the other party returned the greeting.

Her only goal was to be next to Ningzi.

"Welcome, Xiao Ai. I didn't expect we'd be in the same class."

After Aiyin took her seat, the teacher stopped dawdling and began the daily lesson.

"Oh, yes, yes, what a coincidence, hehe."

After arranging the books from her backpack on the table, Aine observed the teacher's movements and whispered to Ningzi.

The air in the classroom was always relaxed, and Ningzi liked this feeling, as it allowed her to daydream or do her own thing as she pleased.

For example, chatting with Chihaya Aine.

The two seats were about half a meter apart, but thanks to the marvel of human civilization—the mobile phone—Ningzi could chat with Aine at will during class.

[Neko: I said before that I would take Aine for a walk around the campus, are you free later?]

Today is Friday, and because the weekend is approaching, Ningzi has no interest in studying and just wants to laze around.

I've been studying very hard these past few days, so I'll reward myself today.

[Anno: Oh, really? Xiao Ning must have other things to do.]

Ai Yin was very familiar with these polite phrases.

Although she didn't know if Xiao Ning really wanted to show her around, Chihaya Aine was satisfied as long as she had the intention.

hum-

hum-

hum-

Covering the sound outlet with her palm, Aiyin turned off the phone's vibration mode.

[Neko: It's Friday! What could I possibly be busy with? Forget taking you for a walk around the school, do you want to hear me play the piano? I can take you during lunch break.]

"Huh? Really? It works?"

Ai Yin didn't want to continue typing, so she started talking to Ning Zi directly from the novel.

"Of course, it's a small matter. We can go during our lunch break."

“Arnold…”

When Ningzi and Aiyin had finished their casual conversation, Gaosong Deng turned his head away somewhat embarrassedly.

She remembered Ai Yin; it was Ai Yin who stopped her and Xiao Ning from rolling around on the grass that day.

Ok…

"Hello, Chihaya-kun, my name is Takamatsu Akari, nice to meet you..."

Although the memory of being caught red-handed making Akari feel a little embarrassed, she still felt it was necessary to say hello to Aine.

"Oh? Hello, hello, Takamatsu-kun."

Aiyin looked the lamp up and down. She found it hard to believe that the girl who had been so bold on campus that day, and who had almost gotten together with Xiaoning from the training school, was actually so shy in private.
