His pale blue eyes were devoid of light, like a stagnant pool.

"Waiter, I broke a cup, and this cup is also broken. I want to buy them both. How much do they cost?"

……

"Xiao Xiang... slow down."

Panting heavily, Wakaba Mutsu chased after Toyokawa Neko from the coffee shop and finally stopped her at the tram stop.

Ningzi deliberately kept a distance so that Mu could catch up.

Su Shi was an unwanted child, while Ke Mu was a needed child.

But if Mu easily catches up, it would be letting that bad guy off too easily.

Toyokawa Ningko will never forget the scene she recalled in the warehouse during the day.

She saw Wakaba Mutsu, who was so young, cute, and she wanted to tease him.

Youmu said, "What did I say again?"

Ningzi pinched her chin and smiled as she took Mu's hand.

Mu said: I will come to find you, Xiao Ning.

But Toyokawa Ningko didn't remember that Wakaba Mutsu had come to see her. In her memory, she had only met Wakaba Mutsu a few years ago.

When Mu first took her to the hospital, Ningzi suspected that a memory might be "hidden." It seems that she has finally caught Mu by the nose.

"Mutsu, that's enough for today. There's no need to talk about Nagasaki Motoyo anymore."

"Um…"

Ruo Ye Mu did not want to see this outcome, but she also knew that she had no right to interfere with Xiang Zi's decision.

And Su Shi... agreed, didn't she...?

It's already much better than I expected.

"I'll be taking the tram to work soon, so let's part ways here."

"..."

"it is good."

Mu watched the tram pull into the station, and then watched Ningzi board the tram.

“Oh right, Mutsu…Wakaba Mutsu.”

"Ok?"

Toyokawa Ningko stood on the tram, the doors of which were not yet open or closed.

"There's one more thing I want to say to you."

"what?"

It's very frightening to suddenly call someone by their full name.

The tram doors began to close, but this did nothing to diminish the faint smile on Toyokawa Ningko's face.

After the tram doors closed completely, Ningzi mouthed words to Mu through the glass.

I will come find you, Xiao Ning.

"!!!"

Mu's pupils vibrated violently.

That's the way it is.

Ch110. Lemon Returns from the Resurrection Match

“I will come to find you… Xiao Ning.”

Following Ningzi's lip movements, Ruoye Mutsu unconsciously uttered those words.

She sensed something was wrong from the very first syllable.

When Mu finished saying the words "Xiao Ning," her voice was so weak that she could barely hear herself.

The first emotion that arose in Mutsu's eyes was shock, followed by incomprehension, pain, and...

fear.

"Xiao Xiang?! You..."

I wanted to call out to Toyokawa Neneko, but the train had already started to leave the station.

As Mu stared intently into Ningzi's calm eyes, his inner fear and pain were amplified.

This is something she once said to Ningzi.

That day marked a turning point in Mu's life.

That day, Mu understood what regret was, and she paid the price for it.

"But why does Xiangzi know about this?"

The tram had already gone far away, leaving Wakaba Mutsu alone, bewildered in the wind.

Her briefcase had slipped to the ground at some point, but Mu didn't care. She was alone in front of the car, but she always felt like there were other people circling around her.

A sense of foreboding sent shivers down her spine; she knew it all too well.

It's Xiangzi's... no, it's Xiaoning's voice.

She heard Xiao Ning's cries for help coming from behind her.

The scene before her eyes had changed; she had returned to the warehouse from her childhood.

That gloomy, damp place, covered in cobwebs.

Xiao Ning is saying:

Why haven't you come back yet, Xiao Mu...

By the end of April, it was difficult to find intact cherry blossoms inside the station. The few scattered blossoms on the branches were teetering on the edge, just like the knees of Nagasaki Motoyo; you never knew when they would fall.

With a trembling hand, Mutsu touched the top of her head, and a cherry blossom petal appeared in her hand.

The edges of the petals showed signs of withering, a color that was a mixture of brown and amber, hard to describe.

An unclean amber color…

"Is it really Xiangzi who came today?"

The petals slipped from his hand, and Mu picked up his bag from the ground.

She really can't tell the difference anymore...

……

"Another day has passed."

There were quite a few people on the train when I arrived, mostly students from Haneoka, about six or seven of them.

There were hardly any people on the train. In the corner sat a sleeping red-haired girl, her face covered by a book.

That idiot, isn't he the one sitting next to her in the classroom?

Ningzi shook her head, clearing her mind of all her chaotic thoughts.

Forget it, leave her alone.

"Tsk, I was calm and collected when I went to school this morning, but by the time evening came, I was almost going crazy."

As Ningzi rubbed her cheeks, she could smell the lingering aroma of black coffee emanating from her entire body.

To be honest, Toyokawa Ningko doesn't like black coffee at all. She hates bitter things, such as tea and coffee, and prefers sweet foods, fruits, and desserts.

That doesn't sound cool at all, does it?

"Yes, it's not cool at all, it's terrible, what kind of idiot are you?"

"Ok?"

A strange noise came from the seat next to Ningzi.

The voice was very familiar, an unforgettable voice. Although I hadn't heard it in a long time, I was absolutely certain it was the same.

"Lemon? When did you arrive? Did you win the revival match again?"

"Look at what you're saying, you're really acting all high and mighty, my dear."

Ningzi leaned on Ningzi's shoulder. Ningzi was very light and looked very fragile.

"Tsk, just say what you have to say. This world is too small to accommodate a living Buddha like you."

"Didn't I tell you to take less medicine?"

Ningzi held Ningzi's hand and carefully examined her physical condition.

"The lamp fed me, so Ningzi is innocent."

"Didn't you ask the other person to feed you? Don't think I don't know. Just because I'm not online doesn't mean I'm really dead, okay?"

"Tsk, how cunning."

"Please stop eating, okay? Please," Toyokawa Leko said bluntly, always a good advisor. "If you keep eating, you'll go crazy."

"It's not a problem with the medicine, Ningzi, it's not a problem with the medicine."

Ningzi was indifferent to this topic, and even felt a little like laughing.

"This world is trying to drive me crazy, Lemon."

It's the relationships left behind by my older sister, the attention and concern I've received from all sides, the increasingly complex social circle, and the Toyokawa family...

As long as a person is alive, these things are unavoidable, aren't they?

So it's the world that's bullying me, not the things I choose that are suppressing me; it's not the same thing.

"It sounds like sophistry."

"But isn't that the truth, my Miss Lemon?"

"..."

Ningzi said no more. She got up from Ningzi's shoulder and stared blankly out the window.

"What's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing, I just don't know what use I am for coming out here."

She used her fingers to draw a large crocodile.

"You know what I mean, during this period I felt like I was being 'eaten up,' and then suddenly I was vomited out of my stomach. I was very confused."

"I see."

"Why did you have to say that at the end? By saying it, aren't you just increasing the risk of exposing yourself?"

"What is being exposed?"

"This exposes that you're not Xiangzi."

"These things are bound to be discovered sooner or later, aren't they?"

Ningzi casually crossed her legs.

It rests on the lemon.

soft.

"Also, this is actually a test."

"Testing?"

"Hmm, I suspect I really am missing a piece of memory, related to harmony."

The tram arrived at the next stop, and Ningzi watched as her red-haired classmate hurriedly got off the tram and rushed onto another tram.

Could this child have just realized they got on the wrong bus?

"And... Xiao Ning, you should know something, right?"

"Huh? Huh!"
