Crychic's Big Gathering at Riku's House!

"Okay, then I'll take you there."

After being escorted downstairs by Mikumura Shioka, Riki and Hachiman Mairin walked down the street. Her pretty face and unexpectedly cold temperament attracted the attention of many passersby, and then she accidentally bumped into a street lamp.

I told you not to sneak peeks at cool girls.

They've been punished by heaven this time, haven't they?

"Riki, you and Chu Hua aren't a couple, are you?" Hachiman Mairin suddenly asked.

"Absolutely not!" Riki said firmly.

"Is that so?" Hachiman Mairin's expression softened a little as she glanced at Riki and smiled, "Then you'd better work hard, or I'll start to hate you."

No, I still have a negative score?!

Would adding just a little bit be okay?

"Will showing more concern for Rikki earn me points?" Riki asked.

"Hmm, that works too." Hachiman Mairin smiled, then looked at Riki: "But I'm quite surprised, didn't you think of a better way?"

"What?"

"For example, showing more concern for me personally, or something like that," Hachiman Mairin said with a smile.

Cool girl, what are you saying?

You're a top-tier mercenary, do you really need my concern?

"Just kidding," Hachiman Mairin laughed. "You should worry more about Rikki. I'm heading this way, so I'll take my leave now."

Riki looked at Hachiman Mairin's slightly tall figure among the high school students.

As a member of the BanG Dream! world, Hailing is a bit too normal.

This is abnormal in itself.

We need to be more careful next time, so she doesn't explode too.

A few days later, the hottest month of July finally arrived.

Riki collaborated with Miao Meng to shoot a few videos, and when she tentatively released some data, it was indeed very good. Miao Meng was so excited that she was skipping around for days, and would often come over to ask Riki when they could shoot another video together.

Photographs of the market!

You want to place an order before you've even finished shipping out all the stock? Go play a drum first!

Moreover, Mikumura Shioka's throat had recovered, and the band resumed practice to prepare for the MSI Budokan. Their manager, Miss Sanae, was very attentive to this, treating all five members like fathers. The other four felt somewhat ashamed, but only Nyanmu was having a blast.

All I can say is that shameless college students are like this.

Wakaba Mutsuki tugged at Riki's sleeve and whispered, "Riki, can I come to your house today?"

Mutsuki-chan did indeed book home services.

"Did you talk to Sakiko?" Riki asked.

"Yes, she said she can go today." Wakaba Mutsuki nodded, but hesitated to speak.

Riki frowned, realizing something was amiss, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"No...it's just that Su Shi said she wants to come along too." Wakaba Mutsuki looked at Riki with concern.

Riki understood and turned to look at Toyokawa Sakiko, who was frowning on the sofa next to her.

No wonder Sakiko-bao has been frowning since earlier.

Although I feel a little sorry for Sakiko and Riki... I'm secretly pleased.

Chapter 168 Crychic Gathers at Riki's House!

Riki watched as Toyokawa Sakiko, with an unhappy expression, supervised Miaomeng as she continued playing the drums on stage. Miaomeng's hands were almost blurry as she played. She had a feeling that Sakiko seemed to be stricter than usual today.

"And what was Sakiko's answer?" Riki asked Wakaba Mutsuki.

Nagasaki Sose, that traitor Lu, has no good intentions and is not as reliable as General Lu Wakaba Mutsuki. If she manages to get involved this time, she'll be thrilled.

Riki, the person she likes; Toyokawa Sakiko, her former White Moonlight; Wakaba Mutsuki, her current classmate and best friend.

Even Riki wasn't as happy as her.

"Sakiko refused." Wakaba Mutsuki's eyes drooped, looking somewhat disappointed.

Don't be discouraged, Mutsuki-chan.

Nagasaki Sose is behind this; it's all her scheme.

Riki patted Wakaba Mutsuki's head and said, "Since Sakiko said so, there's nothing we can do. There will be other opportunities in the future."

Mu, for your sake, I will build a harem!

Wakaba Mutsuki's eyes immediately brightened, and she nodded vigorously.

Toyokawa Sakiko: [No.]

Nagasaki Sose sighed helplessly at Toyokawa Sakiko's uncompromising rejection and leaned on Kuma-chan in distress.

"Why does it feel like Sakiko-chan always has this strange stereotype about me? I haven't done anything wrong," Nagasaki Sose said.

She learned about this yesterday when she was chatting with Wakaba Mutsuki in class. Mu was going to stay at Riki's place, and although it was only for a few days, it still made her very excited.

Wouldn't everyone be even happier if she could go too?

However, he was met with a cold rejection from Toyokawa Sakiko.

"There's no other way; it seems we'll have to use another method."

Nagasaki Sose opened Mygo's group chat and tagged Takamatsu Akari to invite her out shopping.

Shiina Riki: [Why are you looking for the light? I want to go too.]

Sure enough, Rikki- chan arrived too.

Nagasaki Sose nodded in satisfaction.

"The room is a bit small, it's definitely not as nice as your home, please don't mind," Riki said.

Wakaba Mutsuki sat obediently at the table, gently shaking her head, and said, "This place smells like Sakiko; it makes me feel safe."

She looked around. This was where Riki and Sakiko usually lived. It was clean and comfortable. The summer breeze, carrying sunlight, blew through the window, making her light green hair feel cool and putting her in a good mood.

At home, she always stayed in her room and didn't talk to anyone, but here, she could see Riki Toyokawa Sakiko as soon as she looked up, which brought a smile to her lips.

"Mumu, why don't you sleep with me tonight? My blanket can fit two people." Toyokawa Sakiko said gently to Wakaba Mutsuki, "We used to sleep together a lot when we were little."

Did you do this when you were a kid?

Can I try it too?

I'll just sleep among you.

"Okay." Wakaba Mutsuki nodded, "I'll listen to Sakiko."

Toyokawa Sakiko chuckled softly, looking around the room with Wakaba Mutsuki.

"Mumi, you can see Mount Fuji from the window, and in the summer the breeze blows in from that grove of trees, so it's very refreshing. We don't need to turn on the air conditioning, but we just need to be careful of bugs flying in," Toyokawa Sakiko said with a smile.

"Are there any bugs?" Wakaba Mutsuki asked nervously.

"It's alright, Riki is here, he will protect us," Toyokawa Sakiko said.

Yes, Mr. Luvaro will protect Ilya... no, Wakaba Mutsuki.

Wakaba Mutsuki's expression softened, and she smiled at Riki.

Wakaba Mutsuki asked curiously, "What do Riki and Sakiko usually do at home?"

Toyokawa Sakiko thought for a moment and said, "Normally, Riki helps me with my homework. When we're relaxing, we watch animal videos on YouTube together, listen to the latest popular music, and then get a good night's sleep. In the morning... we go to school."

Toyokawa Sakiko paused for a moment, her face slightly flushed.

The mention of this morning brought back those somewhat unsavory things that had happened before, and she couldn't possibly bring them up in front of Wakaba Mutsuki.

Toyokawa Sakiko began preparing dinner.

Riki asked Wakaba Mutsuki, "Mu, why did your mother suddenly send you here?"

Wakaba Mutsuki said, confused, "I don't know, that's what my mother said. But I'm very happy to see Riki and Sakiko."

The way this beautiful mother-in-law left is shocking.

But it's okay, even if there are traps, you can trust my micro-management skills.

The advantage is in my hands!

"What about Su Shi? Has she contacted you again?" Riki asked.

Wakaba Mutsuki shook her head. "No."

Giving up so easily is unlike Nagasaki Sose's style.

Let's not think about that too much for now, let's eat first.

Dinner was simple, Wakaba Mutsuki ate it all. It wasn't that it was particularly delicious, but the fact that Riki and Sakiko were there was enough to make her very satisfied.

That evening, Riki saw Toyokawa Sakiko and Wakaba Mutsuki watching a cat video on YouTube together at the table, and the two of them laughed.

If it were Chihaya Anon, she'd probably be on TikTok right now; that's her style.

This peaceful daily life is probably what Sakiko wants most.

Riki smiled gently as he looked at the two of them. His goal was to make Sakiko always have that smile on her face.

Suddenly he heard a knock at the door.

Someone's here?

We have no guests here, we've paid the rent and utilities, so are some idiots from NHK coming to collect the fees?

To be honest, anyone who has ever lived in Japan would readily give NHK the middle finger, a sarcastic greeting to the NHK executives, implying they've already flown to outer space.

They dare to come and charge you if you have even one TV in your home. Even the Japanese, who are known for their small gestures but lack of righteousness, can't tolerate NHK.

Riki warmed up his arms beforehand, knowing that he also knew a little about martial arts if the other party was unreasonable.

Riki opened the door with this thought in mind, but was stunned when she saw the person outside.

Nagasaki Sose, smiling.

And then there's... Takamatsu Akari, who's standing there in a daze, and Shiina Riki, who's standing with his arms crossed and looks annoyed.

Crychic, all gathered!

Wait, what are you all doing here?

"What are you doing here?" Riki asked, puzzled.

Nagasaki Sose clasped her hands together apologetically and said, "Riki, I, Akari-chan, and Rikki- chan went out to play and accidentally played for too long. We even missed the train. Could we stay here for the night?"

Was it an accident, or was it intentional?

Looking at Nagasaki Sose's radiant smile, Riki realized that this woman had indeed not disappointed, persevering despite repeated defeats.

"Did Deng and Rikki go out with you too?" Riki asked.

"Yes, because I went to the planetarium and aquarium with Akari-chan." Nagasaki Sose smiled. "As for Rikki- chan..."

"I'm just worried that this guy has bad intentions," Shiina Riki said unhappily.

Because Sakiko rejected her, Su Shi worried that she would be driven away again if she came back, so she brought Deng with her. Sakiko still felt a little guilty towards Deng and wouldn't stop her from entering, so Su Shi was allowed to come in.

Nagasaki Sose is a woman full of scheming.

Inside the room, Toyokawa Sakiko noticed that Riki had been standing at the door for a while and asked curiously, "Riki, is this a guest?"
