"Idiot, hurry up and cry, but promise me that once you've cried, you'll never cry about something like this again in your life."

"After all, there are people who will feel sorry for you."

"it is good…"

Mu was pulled into Ningzi's arms.

Ningzi hugged Mu tightly, as if she wanted to meld Mu into her own body, making her an inseparable part for life.

Chapter 141. Empathy is a non-human characteristic.

The blue-haired girl and the green-haired girl embraced each other warmly.

Mu's tears slid down onto Ningzi's shoulder, soaking the pure white fabric until it became transparent.

"So, what should you call me now?"

"Sister Ningzi."

"Good girl, Xiao Mu is the most obedient, isn't she?"

"Ugh...yes."

"Let's go, don't stay here any longer. We agreed to come out for a walk, why is Little Fish crying now?"

"Didn't Xiao Ning tell me to cry my heart out?"

"Remember, you should call her 'older sister' from now on."

Mu nuzzled against Ningzi and whispered in a voice only one person could hear:

"Sister, for a lifetime."

Ningzi isn't lying to herself about saying "for a lifetime," is she?

Even if it was a premeditated scam, Ruoye Mu was willing to become a moth drawn to the flame.

Living is tiring, but because of Ningzi, breathing is much easier.

Being deceived by Ningzi is also a kind of happiness.

……

Where do people go after they die?

After a person dies, they go to a livehouse, holding a glow stick and a can of cola, looking for a comfortable spot to stand.

Once it quiets down, the room will darken, and there will be exciting performances on stage, one after another, forever.

"So Ring has more than just a coffee shop and rehearsal room."

"It was originally for the performance; everything else is just an extension service."

"Wow."

After leaving the planetarium, Ningzi and Mu continued their aimless stroll.

They whispered secrets to each other as they walked to the Ring.

"Today, I actually caught a performance! I've been here many times before, but I never heard a thing."

"I will pay more attention in the future. Xiao Ning wants me to accompany her all the time."

"Yay, will you stay with me for the rest of your life?"

"Well, for life."

Ningzi, arm in arm with Mu, found a safe spot in a corner of the performance hall.

This spot is against two walls and one side of a wall, with the open side in front offering a view of the stage – it's absolutely fantastic.

The room was rather dark before the performance, and Mu was worried that Ningzi would feel uneasy, so he turned on the flashlight function on his phone.

"Sister, look at me."

Mu shone the flashlight on his face from below.

She's dressed as a ghost.

"Oh no, it's Oni Mutsu! I'm doomed!"

Ningzi pretended to be startled and jumped into Mu's arms.

"Whoa, I've been caught by Ghost Mutsu! I'm dead! Eek~"

"puff."

He rarely made a joke, but it had a very good effect. Mu weighed the small bundle in his arms and the corners of his mouth turned up involuntarily.

Ningzi not only provides reassurance, but also emotional value, love.

"Moshi moshi, I'm Hiroi Kikuri, just passing by. The next performance will be by me and my... uh, my band. My band?"

The spotlight came on, and on stage, a drunkard wearing a lake-green sundress was spitting into the microphone.

"Huh? Is this Ring's performance? How peculiar."

"This is Hiroi, who is making a guest appearance. That's just how she is. Her acting style is based on genuine emotions after drinking too much alcohol."

Or rather, the kind you have to try.

"oh oh…"

Ningzi wrapped her arms around Mu's neck and found a comfortable position for Mu to hold her more easily.

The performance started soon, and the band members of the purple-haired senior rushed up in a panic.

As the drums roared, the energetic rock music instantly drowned out the whispers of the audience.

The audience around Ningzi reacted very well, grumbling and enjoying the rock music.

Although Ningzi wasn't interested, Mu seemed to have been caught off guard.

"Thank you everyone! Love you all! Ugh..."

"Xiao Mu, is spitting it out on stage also part of the plan?"

"Uh...yes."

"That's so cool."

Having broken free from Mu's embrace, Ningzi leaned against the corner of the wall, watching the farce that was supposed to be a performance.

It was a lot of fun. There was constant interaction between the performers and the audience. The performers were having a great time, and the audience was also thoroughly enjoying themselves.

Ningzi noticed that Muhe and the others were watching with great interest.

She's found another hobby for Mu.

Ningzi only knew that Mu's favorite person was Ningzi, until today when Mu happened to come here and she realized that the other person also liked rock music.

Several more bands followed, including a group of upperclassmen from Haneoka and a band formed by the young ladies from Tsukinomori, who were from the same school.

It wasn't until the lights came on and the crowd began to disperse that Mu finally came to his senses.

"How was it? Wasn't it great?"

Ningzi smiled and moved closer.

Although she was indifferent to other people's music, Ningzi felt happy accompanying Mu to see the things Mu liked.

Being able to find joy in the happiness of others, Toyokawa Neko, you're becoming more and more like a non-human being.

After all, most of the time, humans cannot understand each other; those who can understand each other are often just like-minded lunatics.

This group is still very small, after all, many people's so-called empathy is just self-indulgence.

In fact, most people know the other person's general thoughts, but they still foolishly step on the landmine.

Ningzi and Hemu are now the same type of little madwoman.

"That was awesome... I haven't been here in a long time."

"Is it because of the heavy academic pressure?"

Mu shook his head, rejecting Ningzi's answer.

No, because of you.

"Ah, me?"

"Ah."

"Being able to see Xiao Ning is already enough for me, so I don't need this (rock and roll)."

"Pfft, what a lowly answer."

The performance failed to make Ningzi laugh, but Mu successfully won Ningzi's heart.

Was it just my imagination? What did Wakaba Mutsumi just say...?

Ningzi covered her mouth and chuckled. Mu's figure became somewhat blurry in front of her. Finally, in a hazy blur, Ningzi saw a familiar person with black hair and green eyes.

It's somewhat like, Hailing...

No, Mu is Mu, not Hailing.

"What time is it now?"

While playing with Mu's little hand, Ningzi pulled her towards the exit.

"It's 11:30, still very early."

You could even say you have more than half a day to wander around!

Being able to play with Ningzi all day long... Why would Wakaba Mutsu have such a strange dream?

“I thought, since Xiao Mu really likes bands, why don’t you join my group?”

"Does Xiao Ning have a band yet?"

Mu stopped in his tracks, staring wide-eyed at Ningzi as if he had heard some shocking urban legend.

"Well, not really, there are only two of us right now!"

The seniors on stage were dazzling, but what they brought was boring, not even a fraction as good as Hachiman Kairin's nimble fingers!

Therefore, Toyokawa Ningko firmly believed that as long as Hailin brought her onto the stage, the two of them... plus Mutsu, the three of them could definitely dominate the stage.

"I…"

Just as Mu was about to continue speaking, a girl barged into their space.

At the exit, a girl with short white hair blinked her heterochromatic eyes and stood in front of Toyokawa Ningko.

"Hey? What's up?"

"Interesting woman."

Chapter 142. Her life is ruined.

An interesting woman?

of course.

I, Toyokawa Ningko, am the most interesting, and also the most boring, beautiful girl in the world.

……

"Hmm? Am I an interesting woman?"

Ningzi thought the girl in front of her was cute, but that was all she was cute about.

There are plenty of cute girls out there, and Mu is an absolutely adorable one.

There's no need to waste time on a girl you don't know well and who isn't as cute as Mu.

“Too bad, you’re not. Boring girl,” Ningzi waved to the white-haired man in front of her. “Goodbye, little guy.”

Then, she wanted to pull Mu away from here.

But the girl in front of her was like a cat that hadn't gotten its food, sneaking around Ningzi and following her wherever she went.

"Hoohoo."

The little white cat, mimicking Mu, took Ningzi's hand on its own initiative.

She was curious from the start whether holding hands was really fun.
