"I'm hanging up now, Xiao Xiang. I'll let you know if there's any news."

"Okay, sure..."

Before Xiangzi could finish speaking, Ruoye Mu pressed the end call button.

This gave Xiangzi the feeling that the other person was even more anxious than she was.

But there's no time to waste on such trivial matters now! What we need to be concerned about is the reappearance of Toyokawa Neko!

Xiangzi lost his footing on the steps and fell forward, but luckily he managed to grab the handrail with his left hand. In the end, he landed on his knee and scraped his skin.

But she didn't stop there; instead, she scrambled forward.

That's the way it is.

"Xiao Ning!"

Could this matter be related to that Hachiman Kairin...?

……

"Hey, did you hear that sound, Su Shishi?"

"Huh? No... Does it have to be Su Shishi? This name is a little... strange."

"Hoo hoo, I'm going to scream! Don't mind me! Su Shishi, Su Shishi, Su Shishi!"

"Alright, alright, as long as Xiao Ning is happy."

Su Shi showed Ning Zi her gentleness.

The two of them sat on the beach watching the moon, and Su Shi took off her white stockings and hung them on the bicycle to dry.

"Just now, I thought I heard someone calling me. Was it a hallucination, or am I under too much stress lately?"

"Could she be sick? The driver I called will be here soon. We should go to the hospital to get checked out first."

"Hospital? Forget it, it's too scary, I hate hospitals the most," Ningzi shuddered and pointed towards the sea.

"Besides, Xiao Xiang is still waiting for me at home. I don't know what time she'll be back today."

“Recently, her return time has been very irregular and unpredictable due to work.”

"is that so."

Su Shi looked at the distance that Ningzi was pointing to, but her mind was filled with the image of Toyokawa Ningzi underwater, who looked like a mermaid.

“That’s right, Su Shishi.”

With her feet firmly planted in the sand, the large particles were particularly noticeable amidst the fine dust, and a small pebble was pressed against the sole of Ningzi's foot.

"This is for you."

Bending down to pick it up, her top became transparent from being soaked in seawater. Toyokawa Ningko deliberately used the moonlight to show off her weapons to Suze.

The hazy, indistinct nature of human hearts presents a tempting shape before the simple world.

Su Shi couldn't see clearly, but that didn't stop her from subconsciously swallowing.

"oops--"

The pebble that Ningzi was standing on landed right next to Su Shi's feet, and the splash of sand startled Su Shi.

"Hey little fish, I've heard that perverts like things that pretty girls have stepped on, hehe, my little fish, I wonder if you like it?"

"How could I possibly like it?"

Su Shi, assuming Ning Zi couldn't see, stepped on the pebble and offered a convincing explanation that only made things worse.

"Yeah."

Now it's Toyokawa Yasuko's turn to ask Nagasaki Motoyo.

"Yes... I guess so."

"Pfft, you..."

The phone, which had been pretending to be dead on the beach, started buzzing again. Ningzi had been listening to it for half the night.

She squatted down, picked up the phone that was staring at her with its eyes open and making strange noises, and wiped the dark green slime secreted from the phone onto her calf.

"Hey, who is it? Seriously, it's so noisy! You nobodies!"

No matter who's on the other end, it always feels good to complain a little first.

"Xiao Ning? Great, she finally answered the phone."

"Xiao Mu? What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?"

“Your sister…” Ruoye Mu was panting heavily, and was forced to pause to catch her breath.

"What happened to my sister? Has something happened to her?!"

"Yes... something happened."

"Huh? What happened? What's wrong with Xiao Xiang?"

I was just playing, and I played for a little while, so what...?

"No...it is..."

You could tell that Mutsumi Wakaba on the other end of the phone had stopped her vigorous exercise and was trying her best to speak complete sentences.

“Xiao Ning…something’s going to happen to you…Xiao Xiang came home and found you weren’t there, she’s almost…going crazy looking for you.”

"what?"

Toyokawa Ningko blinked.

She gazed at the dark ocean, and her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally died.

It’s over.

Chapter 183. Outsider? An outsider to the orange!

Question:

If you go out and mess around with your older sister's "old flame" without informing her first, and your sister can't find you, what should you do now?

Reply:

"I'm finished, Su Shishi."

"what happened?"

The waves on the sea became increasingly turbulent, like a reflection of Toyokawa Ningko's inner world.

"I think I'm going to be turned into a spinning top, because I don't have time to make up a reason."

Ningzi walked towards the sea once again, only to be met with a puzzled look from Nagasaki Motoyo.

"Xiao Ning? What are you going back for?"

"Hmm? Can't you tell? I'm going to jump into the sea and commit suicide. See you in the next life."

"Stop it! Stop right now!"

"It's too late, oh dear..."

Ningzi stopped fooling around when she saw her ankle being grabbed by the brown-haired widow.

She closed her eyes and remained silent for several seconds, repeatedly thinking of the most reasonable solution in her mind.

How can we achieve a happy ending?

For example, I killed Nagasaki Motoyo, and then wasted a very, very long time disposing of the body.

Toyokawa Ningko's gaze swept over Nagasaki Motoyo, who was kneeling on the ground.

Why is this old woman kneeling again? What is this, Mr. Pavlov's dog?

"A conditioned reflex makes you kneel down, but Toyokawa Ningko makes you stand up! My lovely little minnow Nagasaki Motoyo, stop crying like that. The light is so bad I can't even tell if the water on your face is tears or seawater."

If this idiot kneels a few more times, he might actually develop a conditioned reflex.

From then on, her knees would go weak whenever she saw him, just like how Xiaodeng's wounds would itch whenever she saw him, and how Aine would drool whenever she saw him...

This is terrifying. Being chased and forced to kneel in public is horrible. I should just kill Ningzi.

Toyokawa Ningko scooped up a puddle of black seawater, feeling the dirty yet sacred liquid slip through her fingers.

"Have it!"

"who?"

"Idiot! I'm not going to explain to you."

Toyokawa Ningko dialed Wakaba Mutsumi's number as quickly as possible, and without waiting for a response, she spoke directly:

"Xiao Mu, if I ask you to cooperate with me, will you obediently listen to me?"

"Xiao Ning? I...I will."

"Okay, that's such a good girl, Xiao Mu is the cutest. Now, help me think of a way to appease Xiao Xiang..."

Nagasaki Motoyo, still kneeling in the seawater, stared wide-eyed as she listened to their conversation, forgetting even to stand up.

That's the way it is.

……

"What? You said you made plans to go out with Xiaoning, but you forgot and stood her up? She fell asleep at the coffee shop and that's why she didn't answer the phone?"

If Mutsu could hear Toyokawa Shoko's confusion and shock on the other end of the phone.

But what does this have to do with Wakaba Mutsu? She was just carrying out Toyokawa Neko's mission.

"Where is she? I'll come pick her up."

"It's okay, I've already picked her up. She's very tired so she fell asleep. I'll take Ningzi back in a bit."

"..."

"I understand. Please return my Ningzi to me as soon as possible... I need to hang up now, I'm a little out of breath."

"it is good--"

The call ended abruptly, leaving only the light from the phone screen to illuminate Wakaba Mutsumi, who was also panting heavily from running.

She had already gotten into her private car and was heading straight for the location Ningzi had told her, following a route that had taken three turns.

We passed by a restaurant called Edogawa Stand, where Neko and Mutsuko had mentioned that the food was good.

We can go eat together sometime when we have time.

but…

"Why didn't Xiao Ning go out to eat with me, but instead went to the beach with Su Shi?"

There was a hint of resentment in Toyokawa Shoko's words, but Ruoye Mu didn't care.

It's better for Xiangzi to be angry with himself than angry with Ningzi.

If someone has to be in charge of this incident, Ruo Ye Mu wouldn't mind if that person were herself.

"Driver, this is it, thank you."

"Okay, miss."

"When I get back... take the coat out of the trunk."

"But that belongs to the lady..."

"It's ok."

boom--

Mu slammed the door and left; all she wanted now was to see her Ningzi.

Xiangzi just said Ningzi is Xiangzi?

This is utterly nonsensical... Ningzi was never entirely Xiangzi's character from beginning to end...

For at least a few seconds, a few minutes, or even a few hours, Toyokawa Neko belonged to Wakaba Mutsumi.

There was no one during this long but brief period of time.

But later, when I see Ningzi, I will also see Su Shi.
