Riku Yi Didn't Show Up

A starry sky lamp?

Riki suddenly looked closely and realized something was wrong—what was floating in space wasn't a celestial body, but a cucumber?!

Mu, are you going to distort the Sakiko-ism?

Riki looked at the projection of the starry sky lamp, blinked, and thought it actually looked quite interesting, like being surrounded by a cucumber world, which was kind of cute.

A sound came from the side, Riki turned her head to see Wakaba Mutsuki lying next to her.

Riki suddenly remembered that when Wakaba Mutsuki asked him what he liked, he said cucumbers.

So... you made a cucumber starry sky lamp?

It perfectly matches my imagination of the cucumber world.

But why do this?

"Riki, do you think it looks good?" Wakaba Mutsuki turned to Riki and asked.

Wakaba Mutsuki's face was less than a few centimeters away from his, her soft breathing sounded so fragile that he dared not breathe too heavily.

"It looks pretty good." Riki nodded, taking her head back a little.

"That's good." Wakaba Mutsuki smiled gently.

"But why did you call me here to see this? Can't we see it in the Tsukinomori at other times?" Riki asked curiously.

"No, because it's Riki's birthday." Wakaba Mutsuki shook her head.

"My birthday?"

She seemed to have timed it perfectly. Looking at 11:59 on her phone, she got out of bed, ran to the cabinet next to her, opened it, took out some ribbons and hung them on the headboard, then carefully took out some treasured cucumber stickers and stuck them on top. She then placed her guitar beside the bed, and finally handed Riki the crown she had borrowed from the Drama Club, saying earnestly, "Happy birthday."

This birthday party was truly outrageous.

Am I about to ascend the throne as the king of the cucumber world?

12:00

Wakaba Mutsuki clapped softly and sang gently, "Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to Riki..."

Riki looked at Wakaba Mutsuki, who was earnestly singing "Happy Birthday," and couldn't help but chuckle.

Today is his birthday, so Mu is going to throw him a birthday party. She has been preparing for a long time and has brought out all her favorite things to celebrate Riki's birthday together.

Wakaba Mutsuki was afraid to go find the cake and candles, worried that her parents would find out. But even though she was terrified of them, Wakaba Mutsuki still invited Riki over to celebrate her birthday.

This is the rebellious thing that Wakaba Mutsuki wanted to do.

It was something small, yet it was what she most wanted to do.

Mu, you fucking moved me to tears, you know that?!

"But today isn't my birthday," Riki said.

Wakaba Mutsuki blinked and tilted her head in surprise.

"April 15th is my mom's birthday. Every year she forces me to celebrate her birthday, so in order not to forget, I set my birthday as hers, even though I was actually born in June."

No, what birth?

It's a bombshell!

Wakaba Mutsuki said to Riki, "Then happy birthday to Lu's mother, happy birthday to her..."

You actually continued?

Riki was amused and patted her head.

Anyway, thank you.

"I should be thanking Riki," Wakaba Mutsuki shook her head.

But I didn't do anything, did I?

Feminists say this is what men should do, Mutsuki-chan, that's a bit wrong.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

"Mumu, are you asleep?" came Wakaba's Mother's voice.

Riki was startled.

"Mom, I'm going to sleep," Wakaba Mutsuki quickly said.

Mutsuki-chan, are you easy to talk to in your dreams?

"I want to talk to you about Riki," Wakaba's Mother said softly.

Are you talking about me?

Riki strange, but couldn't say anything.

Wakaba Mutsuki also tilted her head, listening quietly.

"He's a good person and very talented. I'll feel at ease if you become friends with him. Don't worry about your father," said Wakaba's Mother.

Feeling friend-zoned, Riki looked at Wakaba Mutsuki beside her and nodded gently, "I understand."

Wakaba's Mother paused briefly before leaving.

Riki finally didn't have to hold back anymore.

It feels like they're entrusting Mutsuki-chan to me.

I already have two potential girlfriends.

Riki helped Wakaba Mutsuki clean up the room, returned the way she came, climbed over the wall, and waved goodbye to Wakaba Mutsuki.

Wakaba Mutsuki stood on the windowsill and gently waved.

A faint smile appeared on her profile in the moonlight.

At Tsukinomori Academy, Shiina Riki finds Takamatsu Akari and Chihaya Anon.

The reason why two students from different schools were able to be together was naturally because they came to be audience members for the drama competition. Rikki originally had no interest in drama, but after hearing that Takamatsu Akari was coming, she also signed up for the audience list.

"But it's a bit far..." Shiina Riki muttered. Although they were on the same line, there were at least fifteen students between them.

"I can deliver a message. What do you want to say?"

"Tell Aine not to bother the lamp, huh?" Shiina Riki turned to look at Riki, who had suddenly appeared beside her, and asked in surprise, "What are you doing here?"

"I am everywhere," Riki said.

Shiina Riki snorted, "You were brought in by Suze, weren't you?"

"Actually, I wanted you to bring me in, but I was afraid it would cause you trouble, so I asked Su Shi instead," Riki said.

"There's no need to be so polite," Shiina Riki muttered.

"Just kidding, actually I'm going on stage later," Riki said.

"Huh? You're going on stage?" Shiina Riki exclaimed in surprise, while Hachiman Mairin, who was sitting next to her, also looked over curiously.

Rikki and Hailing, weren't you amazed by your buddy's artistic talent?

"Which school do you represent?" Hachiman Mairin asked.

"The Tsukinomori," Riki said.

"Tsk, is it because of Su Shi?" Shiina Riki crossed her arms and legs, clicking her tongue in surprise.

Such white legs.

"If I could choose, I would definitely choose Hanasakigawa. Although I am in the Tsukinomori, Hanasakigawa is my eternal home," Riki sighed.

"Oh, that's right, worth three points," Hachiman Mairin said with a smile.

"Thank you for the score, Great Teacher. Hachiman."

+3.

"You two, don't change the subject. First of all, I don't care which school you represent, and it has nothing to do with me, okay?" Shiina Riki said anxiously to Riki.

Riki saw the Drama Club waving at him from the side of the stage and said to Shiina Riki, "I'm going to change my clothes. Watch my amazing performance later."

"Hello..."

Shiina Riki watched Riki leave, clicking her tongue in displeasure. Hachiman Mairin, standing beside her, teased, "You two seem to get along quite well."

"It's alright, I'm like that with everyone, aren't I?" Shiina Riki scoffed.

"But you're always happy when you talk to him."

Do you?

Shiina Riki taken aback.

Then she saw Chihaya Anon and Takamatsu Akari switch seats with other students and sit next to her.

"Rikki- chan, Aine found a classmate who's willing to switch seats with us, so we can watch the play together!" Takamatsu Akari said happily.

Aine can be quite good at things sometimes.

"I wonder who will be playing in the Tsukinomori next. I heard from the teacher that the Tsukinomori is really strong this year," Chihaya Anon said excitedly.

Shiina Riki knew that Riki was going to play.

But I guess I'll just be playing a tree or a rock.

How could they possibly give a supporting role to someone from another school?

Shiina Riki watched as the stage curtain slowly opened, and the host announced the name of the play at Tsukinomori Academy: Romeo and Juliet.

Is it a romance drama?

Shiina Riki immediately lost interest. She had no interest in romance; only a fool would fall in love, and she was clearly not a fool.

Suddenly her eyes widened, and Takamatsu Akari and Chihaya Anon beside her were also very surprised.

Hachiman Mairin raised an eyebrow in surprise and smiled, "It's actually the main character."

"Riki is actually the main character?" Shiina Riki couldn't believe it, and the person he was acting with was... Mutsumi?

Are they acting in a love drama?

Shiina Riki felt a little annoyed. It didn't matter who played Riki, why did they have to cast Mu in the same role? She was the second war criminal who disbanded Crychic.

They just said Hanasakigawa is their eternal home, what a liar!

Shiina Riki looked displeased, while Hachiman Mairin, standing nearby, smiled slightly.

Shiina Riki was initially annoyed, but as the drama progressed, she became engrossed, experiencing the joys and sorrows of the two main characters.

Riki's acting was quite good, and Mu... how could she actually make that kind of expression?

Shiina Riki was very surprised.

She seems... very happy.

Chapter 111 Riki Did Not Appear

Shiina Riki originally came with Takamatsu Akari, hoping to watch the show, but she didn't expect something surprising to happen right at the beginning. Putting aside how Riki became a member of the Tsukinomori Drama Club, even a boy couldn't enter Tsukinomori, but Riki actually persuaded the principal of Tsukinomori.

Moreover, after watching his drama, Shiina Riki actually thought he acted really well, and it was even a love story. She had already heard her classmates talking about Riki.

"This story is just too amazing! Could it be a national-level one? The judges haven't said a word in ages."

"That handsome guy playing Romeo looks like the music director for the Rikki band!"

"Hey, is that handsome guy Rikki's music teacher?"

"Speaking of which, I just heard from Morita that Rikki and that handsome guy are dating."

Upon hearing these words, Shiina Riki, who has sensitive skin, immediately reacted negatively.

Only after giving him a fierce glare did the chattering of his classmates finally quiet down.

"It seems like Tsukinomori is going to win. The principal and teachers will probably be very angry," Hachiman Mairin laughed. "But Rikki seems very happy. Does Riki's victory make you happy?"
