Rock Girl Descends Beside Me!

Could this be a once-in-a-lifetime flash from the Toyokawa family? Is it really okay to use it on me, Sakiko-bao!?

Toyokawa Sakiko took out a wrapped box from behind her and handed it to Riki with both hands, whispering with pursed lips, "It's not a very expensive item, so don't expect too much."

Riki felt a little nervous for some reason. He took the gift and opened it, finding a four-leaf clover bracelet inside. Toyokawa Sakiko, meanwhile, was holding a four-leaf clover necklace.

Each holding their four-leaf clover, they looked at each other across the flickering candlelight.

"I only bought this one because it was the cheapest, not specifically to match!" Toyokawa Sakiko suddenly remembered something and quickly explained.

It would be troublesome if they were mistaken for a couple!

"Of course, of course!" Riki solemnly put away the bracelet, and seeing his expression, Toyokawa Sakiko couldn't help but smile. "But why are you giving it to me?"

Because it's White Day.

You made up for my birthday on Valentine's Day, so I'll help you celebrate White Day.

Toyokawa Sakiko smiled, "Why, guess."

A riddle-maker, huh?

"Oh, right, the cake! We need to make a wish quickly, or the candles will burn out," Riki said, looking at the dwindling candles.

"Oh, right, right," Toyokawa Sakiko was also a little flustered. She quickly put her hands together, closed her eyes, made a wish, and blew out the candles.

As the warm light of the candles was extinguished, the moonlight from outside streamed in. Riki asked curiously, "What did you wish for?"

"It won't come true if I say it," Toyokawa Sakiko said, wiggling her finger with a smile.

No way!

You succubus!

Toyokawa Sakiko looked at the cake in front of her, her eyes soft. This was the most ordinary birthday since she was born. There were no banquets, no guests, and no praise from guests, but this small cake made her heart feel warm.

So her wish was to be able to celebrate her birthday with Riki again next time.

Toyokawa Sakiko opened her eyes and suddenly found herself back at Riki's house, facing him.

"The cake... we haven't eaten it yet," Toyokawa Sakiko said subconsciously.

They looked at each other and burst out laughing.

After Riki finished laughing, he looked at the clock on the wall and felt something strange. No matter how much time passed in the other world, it was always fixed at three hours here, but this time it seemed to have only been two and a half hours.

Had something changed?

Perhaps a certain countdown isn't too far off. What kind of change is it? (Deep in thought)

Please vote, thank you everyone!

Chapter 27: The Two Who Divided Worlds

Riki and Toyokawa Sakiko were looking at their Bilibili accounts, preparing for a crucial matter—getting money from Uncle.

Seeing the money arrive in their bank account, Riki and Toyokawa Sakiko exchanged a look and smiled, extending their hands for a "snap." Riki converted all the money to cash and then went to the bank to exchange it for Japanese yen at the current exchange rate. As for why the Japanese yen from two worlds could be used interchangeably, Riki didn't know. It was probably like how Riki could understand Toyokawa Sakiko's words; Sacred Kara connected them.

Moreover, Riki discovered something else: the exchange rate between RMB and JPY was different in the two worlds. So, after exchanging money to Sakiko's world, there was an extra 2%, which could be said to have development potential, but not much.

Damn it, other transmigration protagonists are all awesome, cool, and powerful, but why is he only able to use his powers to date a Japanese girl?

System, speak!

Toyokawa Sakiko watched videos online with great interest. Sometimes, silly people would make Sakiko laugh.

When she saw people calling her "Teacher Da Xiang," she would get angry and puff out her cheeks.

Riki also found it amusing until she started scrolling through Riki's browsing history.

"!!?" Riki lightning-fastly reached out and grabbed Toyokawa Sakiko's hand.

Girl, let go of that browsing history, or my Ionia Silver Tier power won't be for nothing.

Don't force me to kneel and beg you!

"What's wrong?" Toyokawa Sakiko looked at him with innocent eyes, confused.

"Uh... the browsing history contains things my classmates watched. It's better not to pry into other people's privacy," Riki said with a straight face.

Toyokawa Sakiko quickly closed it, "Sorry, sorry. I thought it was yours."

What do you mean, if it's my privacy, you can look?

Does your mistress consciousness overflow a bit?

So I like it, then it's fine.

"But I still accidentally saw a little. What does Asanagi mean?" Toyokawa Sakiko asked curiously.

She had always been a very curious girl.

Riki broke out in a cold sweat. "To be precise, he is a feminist fighter who respects women."

"So, like Riki?" Toyokawa Sakiko asked, surprised.

I know you want to praise me, but maybe don't use that to praise me.

Riki finally managed to pull himself away.

Only then did Riki have time to check his phone messages. Most of them were changes to his campus class schedule in his email, introductions to campus activities, and death threats from his advisor about assignment deadlines...

All pretty normal.

"I should send the piece to my advisor. Sakiko, can you play it for me?" Riki asked Toyokawa Sakiko.

Although Riki was very strong, his studies were too broad. He was still a little inferior when facing more professional players. Toyokawa Sakiko's skill level was beyond question; otherwise, Mujika, which she formed, wouldn't have been called the Galactic Battleship.

Riki, an absolute powerhouse, and the loneliness born from it, Sakiko taught you love.

Are you in Jujutsu Kaisen or something?

Toyokawa Sakiko naturally agreed to Riki's request, her smile full of warmth.

"No, Sakiko-bao, if you agree so easily, I'll make even more excessive, more shameful requests..." Riki sighed.

--Like asking you to do my advanced calculus homework.

Toyokawa Sakiko sat down at the piano and looked at Riki's freshly printed sheet music. She nodded, but her expression faltered when she saw the title of the piece—Love.

Just two simple words.

Yet, they made Toyokawa Sakiko's heart skip a beat. She glanced at Riki as if by accident before extending her slender fingers and beginning to play.

As Toyokawa Sakiko played, she found the piece overflowing with a sense of love, which in turn lightened her mood. After finishing, she turned to Riki and asked with a smile, "How was it?"

She still smiled so much.

Riki applauded. "Perfect."

Toyokawa Sakiko pursed her lips and smiled. "Right, let's go prepare dinner. What do you want to eat?"

She had been cooking lately. Although she sometimes couldn't quite grasp Riki's taste, Riki always finished everything, which gave her a sense of accomplishment.

"Then let's go to the supermarket and buy some meat," Riki thought for a moment.

Toyokawa Sakiko chuckled and nodded. She put on her shoes and waited quietly outside the door.

This is so happy.

Although Toyokawa Sakiko didn't say it, the smile on her face was filled with joy for this period of time.

After waiting for a few minutes and Riki still hadn't come out, Toyokawa Sakiko felt a little strange. Riki was usually very quick; why was he so slow today?

Come to think of it, she hadn't heard anyone going up or down the stairs since a moment ago.

It felt a bit odd.

Toyokawa Sakiko turned back to look into the room. "Riki..."

Her voice choked off halfway, as if she'd been gagged. What appeared before her was not the door to Riki's house, but the wooden door of her own second-floor rental room, filled with the smell of beer and ash, with beer stains on it.

The surrounding air was very quiet, so quiet it was a little eerie.

For some reason, Toyokawa Sakiko felt her heart tremble with unease, and her hands trembled slightly.

She blinked, then came back to her senses. She realized she was back in her own home again.

"Why are you so fast today? Don't you usually take all day?" Toyokawa Sakiko whispered.

The sky today was obscured by a thin mist, and the cold sunlight shone on Toyokawa Sakiko's face, making her feel a chill from the bottom of her heart.

Toyokawa Sakiko walked to the neighboring door and knocked gently. "Riki, are you there?"

Under normal circumstances, Riki would have come out with a smile, but today, all she heard was dead silence.

The unease in Toyokawa Sakiko's heart grew heavier. She knocked again, but there was still only dead silence. After hesitating, she reached out and pushed the door open.

It was empty inside.

"Huh?"

Toyokawa Sakiko's face stiffened. Her voice echoed in the empty room, along with her increasingly rapid breathing and the sound of her collapsing to the floor.

She couldn't hear anything except a sharp sound.

--Tinnitus.

Riki found it strange. Why did Sakiko disappear after he just changed his clothes?

He looked for her in the room but couldn't find her. He frowned and couldn't find her in the stairwell either. He began to realize that a serious problem had occurred and quickly opened the security camera footage at the entrance to check.

--Sakiko was indeed waiting at the door at first, but she disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Others might have thought the video was frame-skipped, but Riki knew this was a phenomenon of transmigration.

But why didn't he go with her?

Riki frowned deeply. Was there a problem with the rules of transmigration?

Did he need to wait for an adjustment?

But how long would he have to wait?

Or was the time spent with Toyokawa Sakiko these past few days the mistake, and now this mistake was being corrected, meaning such a thing would never happen again?

--Forever?

What about Sakiko?

Is she doing okay over there now?

Night. Toyokawa Sakiko stood on the Sky Tree, her eyes vacant as the cool night breeze blew through her blue hair.

A week had already passed.

Chapter 28: Dead Silence

"So the wind on the Sky Tree is really cold at night? I didn't notice last time I was here."

Toyokawa Sakiko brushed a strand of blue hair from her face, her hand lightly touching the railing as she walked. The Sky Tree, now closed, echoed with the sound of her solitary, clear footsteps.

It had been a week since she last saw Riki.

Toyokawa Sakiko had decided to give up on seeing Riki again. After all, crossing between two worlds was a low-probability event from the start. The chance of it happening again was, without even needing to understand probability theory, smaller than finding a needle in a haystack.

"Hmph, hmph~"

Toyokawa Sakiko hummed the tune of Love that she played the last time she saw Riki, strolling through the Sky Tree, occasionally tapping the railing with her fingers, producing crisp sounds.

She finally stopped, looking out at the beautiful Tokyo night view through the glass. Toyokawa Sakiko thought for a moment and nodded.

"This place it is. The scenery is quite nice."

She gripped the railing with both hands and, with some difficulty, stepped onto it with her shoes. She slipped the first time, but the second time, she steadied herself by bracing her heel. With a full-body effort, she flipped over, her balance wavering as she stood on the railing.

The wind felt stronger at this height. Toyokawa Sakiko gently held down her skirt against the night breeze, looking down at Tokyo and recalling the memories of the past week.
