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

Moreover, the closer this configuration combination is to a Ring, the more Rings it contains.

"Hailin, do you think those girls who walk together in pairs, and who look like they play rock music, are they straight?"

"How can it be."

Is this really not normal?! This is too dangerous; I need to stay away from people like this in the future.

Toyokawa Ningko moved closer to Yawata Kairin, trying to gain more sense of security.

Indeed, friends are someone who makes you feel safe.

Ningzi tentatively poked Hailing's hand with her little finger, and seeing that Hailing didn't resist, she took the hand in return.

"?"

"Hey."

Ningzi playfully stuck out her tongue.

"Why are you suddenly holding hands?"

Hailing blinked and did not refuse Ningzi's invitation to hold her hand.

"That's right, just hold hands if you want to, don't worry about it. Let's go, let's hurry to the rehearsal room."

The teddy bear in the bag seemed to have a temperature; Ningzi felt a burning sensation near her heart.

"it is good."

……

Ms. Motoyo Nagasaki, who is behind the times, has decided to go to Ring for tea today.

For no other reason than that she wanted to find Shiina Tatsuki, the drummer who was once a fellow member of Crychic.

Shiina Riki works at Ring.

She had been very distressed these past few days, but distress was useless and only tormented the soul. Nagasaki Motoyo knew she needed to take action to end it all.

Su Shi walked into Ring with a resolute expression, her eyes unwavering, as if she were about to enter the game.

She's here to revive Crychic.

Wait, who is that? Xiangzi?

Su Shi's pupils trembled, and her resolute expression shattered on the spot.

The automatic doors closed slowly, and Nagasaki Motoyo stared intently at the figure not far away in the elegantly decorated hall.

I don’t know if it’s because the air conditioner is on, but even though winter has been over for a long time, Su Shi still feels bone-chillingly cold.

This time, she saw Xiangzi walking with a girl she didn't recognize.

It's not that I can't make friends anymore. There's nothing wrong with that. After all, making friends is a normal thing, isn't it? There's no problem with it. It's a good thing that Xiangzi has new friends; it means Xiangzi is doing well lately. I should be happy for her, shouldn't I? And to meet her again at Ring is really lucky! I'm so happy, but…

What did I do wrong? Why can I stay in touch with all my old friends except me, and continue to make new friends, but…

Why don't you even reply to my messages?

No, I haven't even seen it.

The moment Nagasaki Motoyo saw the blue twin-tailed girl again, a flood of emotions overwhelmed her, leaving her completely unable to think.

Right now, all she wants to do is rush over, grab the other person's hand, say something, ask them to clarify everything, or ask for a chance to communicate.

It's better than running away like last time.

"Xiao Xiang!"

Suppressing her grief, Su Shi quickened her pace and called out to those ahead.

However, the woman in front of him, Toyokawa Shoko, only paused for a moment before continuing to walk hand in hand with another girl.

"Is Xiangzi really ignoring me?"

Su Shi could no longer hold back. She threw down her handbag and rushed forward to grab Ning Zi's wrist.

"Hmm? Auntie, is there something you need?"

Ningzi tried to break free, but Su Shi was incredibly strong, looking like a mentally ill person at the end of their rope…

Do you know her?

Hailing leaned close to Ningzi's ear and whispered something.

"I don't know him."

Why would you think I'd meet someone who's obviously divorced but still likes to wear high school girl clothes?

I don't belong in that circle.

“Saki-chan, I…”

"What did you call me? Saki-chan?"

Ningzi's smile froze.

How many times has this happened? How many times has this happened? Why do you always treat me like Xiangzi?

"..."

Inside Ring's lobby on the first floor, the crowd automatically separated themselves from the three people in brown, blue, and black, as if a powerful aura covered the area around Ningzi.

Ningzi felt uncomfortable under the gazes of those around her.

Nagasaki Motoyo held Ningzi's wrist without saying a word.

This guy... did his throat disappear?... Say something, don't leave this awkward silence.

"Is there anything else? If not, I'm leaving now."

"No! Xiao Xiang, don't go! Please!"

However, just as Ningzi was trying to break free from Su Shi's hand and go upstairs with Hailing, Su Shi suddenly grabbed Ningzi's hand even harder and refused to let go.

What did Ningzi see in Su Shi's eyes?

She saw the overflowing pleading and helplessness, and the embellishments that punctuated these emotions…

Wronged?

Huh? What's wrong with you talking to me like this?

"Don't go, no, no, I, I really... Please! If Xiangzi isn't here, if Xiangzi isn't here! Watashi!"

Nagasaki Motoyo's tone was full of pleading. She stared pitifully at Ningzi, her lips trembling so much that she could barely utter a complete sentence.

"Stop bothering me, let go of me, aren't you embarrassed enough already?"

Ningzi began to exert force, trying to break free from Su Shi's grasp, but no matter how hard Ningzi tried, the bastard who was clinging to her was as stubborn as an ox.

"Stay away from me. I am not the Xiangzi you know, and I will never be the Xiangzi you know. Stop thinking about Xiangzi and please stop bothering me."

If she kept getting entangled like this, Ningzi felt like she would need to take her medication again.

Angry.

Another one who sees himself as Xiangzi. Although I know I can't blame anyone, you guys are really a pain.

Can you go find your Xiangzi instead? Stop bothering me.

You took it upon yourself to throw your feelings for Xiangzi in my face. Aren't you being presumptuous?

However, Ningzi's words seemed to provoke Nagasaki Motoyo, and with a "plop," Motoyo actually knelt down in public.

Su Shi knelt on the floor tiles with her fair knees, trying her best to calm herself down, but tears still streamed down her face.

"What can I do to get you back... anything I can do... I'll do anything... Watashi..."

"Stay away from me, I hate you."

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Toyokawa Ningko escaped and led Hailing away.

Nagasaki Motoyo was struck dumb, and having exhausted all her strength, her hands fell naturally to her sides.

Xiangzi, do you hate me?

...... ...... ......

Ch52. So Ningzi continued taking her medicine.

Do you know that person?

Yawata Kairin's hand was still being held by Toyokawa Ningko; she could tell that Ningko really enjoyed holding hands.

I also really like tickling her palms.

"I don't know her. She must be mentally ill. I've never seen her before. She just comes over and harasses a stranger like this... She looks like she just got divorced. She must have suffered a mental breakdown."

The thought of Nagasaki Motoyo kneeling in front of so many people made Ningzi feel deeply uncomfortable and distressed.

This person is different from Riki and Akari; she directly pierced Toyokawa Ningko's heart with very heavy emotions...

It was as if someone had forcibly shoved a wet rag covered in vomit into Ningzi's trachea.

Ningzi felt that Su Shi's feelings were even more unpleasant than this.

The wet rag that Su Shi inserted into her mouth was soaked with poisonous vomit.

No, I can't think about that guy anymore. Just thinking about Nagasaki Motoyo, that shameless guy who'd kneel down for me, that guy who treats me like a substitute for Xiangzi and just throws in an emotional outburst...

That's so selfish; all they think about is themselves.

The worst part is that this guy also wants to steal her Xiangzi! Hers! Her Xiangzi! He keeps saying he wants to go back to Su Shi's side; this guy is truly shameless!

I really want to pin the other person to the ground and beat them up badly.

"Are you alright? Is it low blood sugar? You don't look too good."

"It's okay, I'm fine. I just caught a bit of a cold... I'll take some medicine... Yes, I'll just take one cold medicine."

Ningzi felt her hands trembling violently, so she could only move slowly without revealing her weakness.

You shouldn't let your friends care too much, as it can be very bothersome for them.

"Hailing, could you buy me a bottle of water? Mineral water is fine. I'm going to take my medicine now."

"Row."

After tentatively letting go of Ningzi's hand, Hachiman Kairin stopped thinking about it after seeing that the other party was not acting strangely.

She walked to the nearest vending machine, inserted coins, and waited for the vending machine to dispense her item.

To be honest, that scene just now really scared her a bit. A young girl suddenly sliding at the speed of light is something that's hard to come by.

Intuition told Hachiman Kairin that this involved a lot of things and was extremely troublesome.

but…

The pick pendant on her chest seemed to be heating up.

She will take good care of her friends to the best of her ability.

We promised to be partners for life.

only…

Xiangzi? The girl just called Ningzi Xiangzi.

Xiangzi seems to be Ningzi's sister's name, right?

Hachiman Kairin walked back to Ningzi's side. Ningzi seemed to be suppressing something.

Here's some water, do you need help opening it?

"No, I can do it myself."

Ningzi took the water from Hailing, unscrewed the cap of the dark green pill bottle, and poured out one of the purplish-red pills.

No… one piece might not be enough. I ate one at noon and felt unwell again in the afternoon… It’s all that girl with long brown hair’s fault.

It feels like all the objects in my eyes are whispering to each other again. How wonderful.

I'll eat two slices, then.

What was the medication instructions again? I can't remember. Oh well, it's okay. I just eat a little more when I feel unwell occasionally.

What could possibly happen to me?
