In front of a villa in the residential district, Wu Yan and the girls stood facing Fei Fei and Lulu, who had come to see them off...
"Waaah..."
Lulu wiped away tears and snot, huge droplets pouring desperately onto the ground as though they cost nothing. She had kept this up for a full half hour...
After crying for half an hour straight, Lulu was still energetically wiping her tears, while everyone beside her felt utterly drained. It was as if the strength Lulu had cried away had been drawn from their bodies instead. They had been cried into helplessness, their faces sagging like wilted persimmons.
"Just how heartbroken does this girl have to be to cry this much..." Kotori did not even have the strength to bite her Chupa Chups anymore. The corner of her mouth twitched as she watched Lulu. She had heard a little about Lulu's "exploits" before, but facing it firsthand felt entirely different from what she had imagined.
She finally understood why everyone wore such conflicted expressions of affection and resentment whenever Lulu was mentioned...
"Oh my, I don't dislike this type..." Kurumi tapped her chin with a finger, then added, "But hasn't she been crying a little too long?..." That was true. As long as Lulu kept crying, they could only stay there and comfort her. Yet if they did not calm her down, they could hardly leave. They had ended up stuck in a stalemate...
And that was not even the most important part. The most important thing was...
"Waaah... WAAAAH!!!"
Watching Astrea and Tohka cling to Lulu and cry their hearts out, everyone felt their strength drain away even faster.
"A-Astrea, Tohka..." Hinagiku's brow twitched continuously as she forced out a dry laugh. "Why are you two crying so sadly too?..."
"Hm?"
