Tomori: Can I Fall in Love with Riku Yi?

Akari-chan, why are you being so cold to me?

Have you changed your mind?

Takamatsu Akari knew that Riki was a music director at Mujica, but she didn't expect that Riki and Mikumura Shioka had such a good relationship. They were strangers when they met last time, but now they have become very close.

Mikumura Shioka is Sakiko-chan's childhood friend and a very beautiful idol...

If it's her, she's definitely the kind of girl Riki would like.

Moreover, Mikumura Shioka is also the Lead Singer of Mujica, and she sings much better than her. This difference made Takamatsu Akari Teng lower her eyes and stare blankly at Riki.

Besides the members of Mygo, Riki knows many other people; the members of Mygo are not irreplaceable.

This feeling made Takamatsu Akari feel very sad, and tears involuntarily welled up in his eyes and flowed down his cheeks.

Riki taken aback by Takamatsu Akari's tears. She quickly wiped away the tears and asked, "Deng, why are you crying all of a sudden?"

"Huh, did I cry?" Takamatsu Akari was taken aback, her fingers touching the tear at the corner of her eye.

Why am I crying?

She hadn't cried since kindergarten, so much so that she had forgotten what crying felt like.

I just feel really sad.

"Riki, will you abandon us in the future?" Takamatsu Akari asked Riki, wiping away tears from the corners of his eyes.

"Ah?"

Lighthouse crew member, are you awake?

"Because you and Chu Hua have a very good relationship, is she your girlfriend?" Takamatsu Akari asked.

"If you remove the 'woman' part, we're friends. We have a strong friendship," Riki said. "You haven't misunderstood my relationship with her, have you?"

"Because Riki and Chu Hua seem like a good match," Takamatsu Akari said after thinking for a moment.

Are you complimenting me on being handsome?

Then I'll reluctantly accept it.

But you can't just pair up random characters in the future, otherwise my pure love four-wheel drive battle car will be the first to activate!

"Isn't that right?" Takamatsu Akari asked.

"Absolutely not!" Riki and Takamatsu Akari sat down on a park bench.

"But Riki will have a girlfriend in the future, right?" Takamatsu Akari suddenly asked.

"Of course, I'm not Ding Zhen... I mean, I'm childless by choice, so naturally I want to find a girlfriend," Riki said.

In that case, Riki will spend less and less time at Mygo.

Takamatsu Akari suddenly felt down.

She looked at the green leaves in the park in summer and suddenly thought of something.

Everyone in Mygo is a girl. If someone becomes Riki's girlfriend, wouldn't she be able to stay with everyone forever?

But to become girlfriends, you need to like each other. Who likes Riki?

Rikki -chan seems to have said she's not interested in boys; Su Shi-chan seems to care more about everyone in Crychic; will Anon-chan like Riki; Rakuna-chan... seems uninterested in people?

Can I?

But do I like Riki?

Takamatsu Akari doesn't understand emotions. To her, human thoughts are too complicated, like aliens. So she seeks help from Riki, who is also an alien.

Lost in thought, Takamatsu Akari turned to Riki and asked, "Riki, what does it mean to like someone?"

"The person you want to be with for a lifetime is someone you like," Riki said in a language that Takamatsu Akari could understand.

"So I like Riki too?"

"Uh, no!" Riki quickly added, "Liking someone also requires understanding their mind and body. I've only known Deng for three months, so she definitely doesn't know me well enough, right?"

I don't know your depth, and you don't know my length.

Insufficient understanding prevents the ability to achieve depth!

Riki seems to be right... Takamatsu Akari thought for a moment, then smiled and said to Riki, "From now on, I want to like Riki, Riki has to like me too, okay?"

Wait, how was this conclusion reached?

"Because I want everyone to be with Riki for life," Takamatsu Akari said with a gentle smile, "So I want to become Riki's girlfriend."

She tilted her head again and said, "But I don't know Riki well enough yet, so I can't say I like her... Well then, I'm going to start liking Riki."

Don't go.

"Deng, why don't you think about having Rikki or Su Shi as my girlfriend?" Riki hinted.

"I see..." Takamatsu Akari said thoughtfully.

Yes, that's it.

"Then let's all work together to keep Riki here," Takamatsu Akari said with a smile.

Do you think I can do anything with just anyone?

This is a blatant insult to me!

"Didn't we agree that we'd be together forever..." Takamatsu Akari said softly, his amber eyes reflecting Riki's image.

Finally, Takamatsu Akari revealed its true form.

It's so heavy.

At night, Takamatsu Akari returned home and lay on her bed. The Takamatsu Akari by her bedside felt heavy and reassuring, bringing a smile to her face. Suddenly, she thought for a moment, took out her phone, and asked the gentle Su Shi.

Lamp: [Su Shi-chan, how can I make Riki like me?]

Nagasaki Sose was soaking in the bathtub, humming a song softly. When her phone rang, she picked it up casually, then paused, wondering if she had misread the message on her phone.

"... Huh?"

*******

I didn't sleep very well last night, so these two chapters are a bit shorter. Tomorrow, each chapter will be 4,000 words again. Red Bean Paste is Mimasai!

Chapter 159 The Lamp: I want to fall in love with Riki, is that okay?

Akari-chan, what are you saying?

Nagasaki Sose blinked her dazed eyes. "You were the person I trusted most. Why did you betray me?"

No, Akari-chan is an obedient child; there must be some reason behind this.

Ask her first!

Nagasaki Sose frantically grabbed her phone to reply, but she was so comfortable soaking in the bathroom that her hand slipped and the phone hit her face. A cry of pain rang out along with the sound of the phone hitting the water.

"... it hurts!"

Nagasaki Sose covered her bright red nose in annoyance.

Impotent rage.

Nagasaki Sose quickly took her phone out of the water. Takamatsu Akari, who hadn't received a reply from Nagasaki Sose on the screen for a while, wrote, "[Motoyo-chan, I'll go ask Anon-chan first. I'll Riki stay in the band with everyone.]"

"Huh? A band?" Nagasaki Sose blinked, her eyes full of confusion.

Just as she was about to reply, the screen suddenly went black, and frantically pressing the power button didn't bring it back to light.

What exactly happened?!

Nagasaki Sose grew increasingly agitated. She got up from the bathroom, water droplets sliding down her milky skin, revealing her high breasts, flat, soft stomach, and long, slender legs. As she put on her bathrobe, she became more and more confused. Why would Akari suddenly say that?

I'll go ask tomorrow!

But the phone needs to be repaired first.

Nagasaki Sose grew increasingly angry. Looking at the Kuma-chan on the bedside table, she treated it like Riki, vigorously rubbing its cheeks. Watching it change shape in her palm, she angrily said, "Riki, is this your fault?"

"Yes, it's my fault. Please forgive me, Lady Su Shi. I love you the most. Sakiko is just a substitute for Lady Su Shi."

After Nagasaki Sose finished speaking in a muffled voice, she felt much better.

I'll go find Akari-chan tomorrow!

Early in the morning, Shiina Riki was helping out at the Ring Cafe, carrying several boxes of coffee beans before heading off to school in Hanasakigawa.

"Sorry Rikki- chan, for calling you to help so early." Rinrin-senpai said apologetically, clasping her hands together.

"It's fine, it's on the way anyway," Shiina Riki said. After thinking for a moment, she added, "But we can also call Riki, he shouldn't refuse."

"I know, I asked him a few times before, and he readily agreed and moved things very quickly. He's a handsome young man with lots of energy, but it seems like he has something to do today," Rinrin-senpai said with a smile. "But shouldn't I tell you first, otherwise it wouldn't be good if Rikki- chan misunderstood?"

Shiina Riki's face stiffened, and she turned her head, saying calmly, "He and I... have nothing to do with each other."

And he's also a pervert who likes her legs.

No, Riki is a pervert who likes her body.

Is her body really that beautiful?

"But I heard from Rikki- chan's older sister that you guys are often in the room," Rinrin-senpai asked curiously.

"They were talking about the band's music," Shiina Riki quickly said to Rinrin-senpai.

"Ah... I was talking about the music." Rinrin-senpai was taken aback. "Weren't you all having a lot of fun composing together in the room? Is there something else going on besides that?"

Thigh...

Shiina Riki recalled what she and Riki had done in her room back then.

Shiina Riki blushed, coughed lightly, and said nonchalantly, "No, I was just composing."

After helping carry a few boxes of coffee beans, Shiina Riki tossed her long, straight black hair, clapped her hands, and walked out. Suddenly, she saw Takamatsu Akari at the shop entrance, paused for a moment, and then quickly went over and happily asked, "Akari, are you going to school?"

But the route from Takamatsu Akari's house to Haneoka shouldn't pass through here. Could it be that they've come to see me today?

"Yeah, going to school." Takamatsu Akari nodded, "But I wanted to ask Rikki- chan something first."

Is he really here to see me?

Shiina Riki's eyes widened slightly, and she quickly said, "Then sit down first. I'll make you a cup of coffee for free. I just finished helping to move things, Rinrin-senpai won't mind."

Shiina Riki was overjoyed.

But what does Deng want to ask me?

Is it about the music?

Shiina Riki brought over two cups of coffee, and Takamatsu Akari asked, "Does Rikki- chan know Riki very well?"

Riki?

Why did the lamp suddenly ask about that guy?

Shiina Riki hesitated, then said, "I guess we know each other fairly well, after all, we've been in a band together for a few months now."

"So what does Riki usually like to do?" Takamatsu Akari asked again, blinking her beautiful eyes.

Is it Riki again?

"That guy, he likes music and games, and he also likes to take people out to play." Shiina Riki recalled her experience with Riki at his house.

"Rikki- chan knows Riki so well, do you like him?" Takamatsu Akari asked expectantly.

"No... just average, I guess!" Shiina Riki stammered.

Why did the lamp suddenly ask this question?

Admitting to Takamatsu Akari that she liked Riki was still quite difficult for her.

"What kind of girl does Riki like?" Takamatsu Akari asked again.

I... right?
