Kissing Akari Every Day, Verifying the Conclusion That She Doesn't Like Me

"Akari-chan took the day off today," Chihaya Anon said listlessly, sprawled on a table at Ring Cafe. "Did she catch a cold? She didn't say anything in the group chat. The teacher did say that Akari-chan's dad told her she was resting at home."

Nagasaki Sose pursed her lips, looked at Riki, and sent her a message on her phone.

Su Shi: [What happened? What did you say to Deng?]

Riki: [There are very complicated reasons for this, so much so that I haven't been able to produce any scientific results yet.]

Su Shi: [... What are you saying? I'm going to get angry.]

Riki: [Simply put, Deng and I designed a love experiment, but when the results came out, she just ran away. In short, we indirectly kissed.]

Nagasaki Sose looked up at Riki, her disdain almost undisguised.

Su Shi: [Then you're doomed. Rikki -chan will be furious. Your harem plan has failed, hehe.]

Where's the Bull Demon King?!

Riki realized that although Nagasaki Sose was on her side, if he saw his harem fail, he would definitely be the first to celebrate for three days and three nights.

A pure traitor to China.

When Guan Yu was serving under Cao Cao, he acted decisively and without hesitation, embodying both loyalty and righteousness; while Nagasaki Sose considered it a success if he could just backstab Riki.

Even so, Nagasaki Sose was still very worried about Takamatsu Akari.

Su Shi: [You must find the lamp.]

Riki: [I know, I'll go find a lamp in a bit.]

Shiina Riki finished work, changed her clothes, and came over to sit down, saying, "What are you guys talking about? Didn't Akari come today?"

Riki and Nagasaki Sose fell silent.

Chihaya Anon said listlessly, "It seems like I've caught a cold."

"Did you infect me?" Shiina Riki glanced at her.

"The pretty girl doesn't have the virus."

The two bicker frequently.

Shiina Riki looked at Riki.

Riki's heart skipped a beat.

Shiina Riki glanced at it casually, then picked up her coffee and took a sip.

Riki breathed a sigh of relief.

Light, wait for me!

Riki arrived at Takamatsu Akari's house and easily entered Takamatsu Akari's room because she had been there before.

"Light, are you sleeping?" Riki asked.

Takamatsu Akari didn't answer, but the figure on the bed seemed to tremble slightly. After a long while, she whispered, "I'm going to band practice tomorrow..."

"It's not just about the band, it's about you too," Riki said.

"Nothing's wrong with me, and I don't like Riki. We can all just go back to how things were before," Takamatsu Akari said in a low voice.

"Riki, you should go back first."

"No!" Riki pulled Takamatsu Akari out of bed, looking at her panicked eyes, and said, "Because Su Shi told me about a great place to see the stars, let's go see it together!"

Star.

Takamatsu Akari hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded. He and Riki rode in the car to a highway in the suburbs where they could see the sea. The bus stop was right across the street, and they could see a sky full of stars when they looked up.

Takamatsu Akari turned to look at Riki. They were both aliens, but he had fallen in love with Riki.

She wouldn't feel lonely as long as Riki was with her.

But this will hurt everyone.

So...

Takamatsu Akari tiptoed and kissed Riki on the lips, then looked at Riki and smiled gently, "Riki, I haven't fallen for you."

Under the starlight, the girl's emotions were almost impossible to hide as she quietly looked at Riki.

"I see," Riki said.

Then I'll like you instead.

Chapter 166: Daily Kissing with the Lamp, Verifying the Conclusion of Dislike

It's a brand new day.

June, the month of summer, is almost over, and the even hotter July is just around the corner.

July is indeed the hottest time of the year.

Otherwise, why are the dance creators on Bilibili wearing fewer clothes again?

Speaking of Mutsuki-chan, she said she wanted to stay at my place. Wakaba Family is so wealthy, they can't possibly not afford a hotel. I have a feeling that my beautiful mother-in-law has her eye on him. After all, this mother-in-law has chatted with my master, so I can at least confirm that she has no ill intentions, but I still have to be careful.

I don't know if Sakiko knows; I'll ask her when I get home.

Actually, my room is fine; I can squeeze in a little so that everyone from Crychic can get together.

Riki became alert. Wait a minute... the five members of Crychic have reunited to some extent. Am I the great hero?

Although the harem is still under construction, the ruling party, led by him, has already successfully won over two women—General Wakaba Mutsuki and traitor Nagasaki Sose.

The other three opposition parties remain neutral, but Riki believes Takamatsu Akari has a good chance of joining his party.

Takamatsu Akari Totsuka secretly loves him.

But her own thoughts told her that speaking out would hurt people, so she preferred to remain silent.

Riki's goal is to elicit what Akari-chan is thinking and help her evolve into the true Empress Akari.

Back then, Riki was still trying to escape gravity, but now she can face the source of gravity directly.

Even if the guidance is broken, Sakiko... I will still become the king of the harem.

Harem progress (2/4).

Sakiko is a glitch; he's automatically killed once the requirements are met, so now only Takamatsu Akari and Shiina Riki remain.

Wait, why is the denominator larger than yesterday?!

Yesterday we were just one step away, but today we've taken another step back.

This harem strategy is surprisingly difficult.

Riki pushed open the door and walked into Ring Cafe, where she saw that her Rinrin-senpai, was still healthy behind the counter.

It's reassuring.

"Riki, what have you been up to lately?" Rinrin-senpai, hands on her hips and frowning as she looked at Riki.

"Try to live," Riki replied.

I'm talking about your life goals.

"Aren't we all striving to live in this world?" Riki sighed, her gaze distant.

Rinrin-senpai fell silent, glaring angrily at Riki.

What you said makes a lot of sense, but let's set aside logic for now!

Holy crap, T0 magic!

"Okay, what is it?" Riki asked.

Rinrin-senpai, interrupted by Riki, couldn't maintain her angry demeanor anymore. She pouted and said, "I was talking about the live performance. These past two days, either you guys went swimming or Akari-chan took leave. What if we encounter another live performance failure like before if we don't practice properly?"

Were they worried that Mygo would crash again?

Rinrinzi, you're so kind.

But it's alright, this time I'll suppress the ominous force, it won't explode.

"And... if your performance goes well, I can also get the manager's bonus," Rinrin-senpai said playfully with a wink. "After all, I was the one who recommended you to perform during prime time."

Riki sighed, "Rinrin-senpai, life's goals extend beyond this; there's also friendship."

I'm heartbroken.

So, Rinrin-senpai wasn't really devoted to us after all?

Rinrin-senpai wagged her finger triumphantly and said, "Aren't we all earning friendships from others in life? It's the same principle."

You're such a clever student!

Rinrinzi, how dare you attack me with my magic!

That's how Harry Potter almost killed Snape.

"Don't worry, our friendship is as eternal as Mount Fuji!" Rinrin-senpai laughed. "Go find Akari-chan and the others to practice!"

Won't that thing erupt and cause Japan to sink?

Riki walked to the table next to him and sat down; as always, he was the first one to arrive.

College students are so idle.

But the only one who arrived earlier than him was Shiina Riki. She had been working at the store since morning, wearing the store's black uniform that accentuated her figure, which caught Riki's eye.

Take one more look.

There was no work in the shop at the moment, Shiina Riki came over, sat down, and asked worriedly, "Is Akari alright yesterday? Did she catch a cold?"

You, the one pushing this light, don't you know she's troubled by love?

All I can say is that Zero really likes me; he even keeps it a secret from you.

It's okay, you're next, Rikki!

Riki had to figure out how to let Rikki know that Crychic would be reorganized in his harem without it causing an uproar. If it were the other three, she might not care, but knowing about Deng would make it impossible to ignore.

"She's alright." Riki looked at Shiina Riki's beautiful profile. Her features were very defined, making her a classic beauty. When she had a strong expression, the beauty mark at the corner of her eye added a touch of charm, softening her face.

"Rikki cares a lot about the lights, doesn't he?" Riki asked.

"Of course, the song of the lamp is my heart's voice." Shiina Riki raised her chin and smiled.

"You must be really happy to be in a band with her, right?"

"That goes without saying."

"What if we could live together regularly in the future?"

Shiina Riki paused for a moment, then couldn't help but imagine it for a while and realized... it's actually quite nice.

But something's not right.

Shiina Riki frowned and looked at Riki suspiciously, her gaze suddenly hardening. "What are you implying? You're not planning to harm the lamp, are you?!"

"Look, you're in such a rush." Riki frowned. "I'm talking about Mygo's future. We're going to be a band for life. We might even have to share an apartment when we go to college, right?"

Even if it's true, I can't say it.

Shiina Riki out of his reverie, thought about it, and realized that it really made sense.

"Well, that's certainly good," Shiina Riki said, then looked away and added, "But I absolutely don't want to live with Sakiko; that guy hurt Toki."

That was just a small mistake Sakiko made in history.

It seems that it will be difficult to get Rikki to agree to the harem right away, and she also has a problem with Sakiko. It's better to start with Akari-chan first.

Once everyone from Mygo had gathered, Riki said, "Rinrin-senpai we've been a bit lazy lately and need to get serious. The melody and lyrics are almost finished, so why don't we all find a place to get them all together and finish them, then perform them live?"
