Taki-chan, Why Are You Holding a Knife?! (Continued)

After brushing her teeth and washing her face, Wakaba Mutsuki came out of the bathroom and suddenly tilted her head, saying, "There's a strange smell in the room."

Riki Toyokawa Sakiko remained silent.

"... It's just an illusion, Mutsu."

Wakaba Mutsuki tilted her head and looked at Riki.

I think I should ask Riki's mother.

Because she doesn't understand anything.

Riki saw the message in the Mygo group chat before leaving the house.

Aine: [Everyone, get ready! This is a one-day, one-night trip! We'll be spending the night in a luxurious wooden cabin in the mountains, with a campfire! This is a privilege I only got through my dad's friend.]

This is what rich women are like.

V me 50.

Su Shi: [Okay, I've already left.]

Rikki: [Where's the light?]

Lamp: [I'm still packing my luggage, sorry.]

Rikki: [The lamp doesn't need to apologize!]

Rikki is almost done.

Don't love too much.

You and the light are both my wings.

Riki: [I'm ready.]

Riki sent a SpongeBob SquarePants emoji.

At that moment, he received a message from Takamatsu Akari.

Deng: [Riki, what kind of clothes do you like me to wear?]

Takamatsu Akari sent over photos; she had changed several outfits in front of the full-length mirror, and her androgynous face made for a beautiful sight.

Uh-oh, you just reconciled with your past self, how come your offensive is already so fierce?

This is the Empress Akari!

Riki: [I like whatever the lamp wears.]

Lamp: [But when Rikki wears a skirt, Riki always stares at her legs and chest. Does Riki like me too?]

Riki blushed.

The light, you know it in your heart, there's no need to say it aloud.

XP on the thighs and chest is not unique to the wise; everyone has it.

It's not surprising that I like it.

Deng: [Then can I wear a short skirt so Riki can see my thighs?]

Hey, do you think I'm the kind of person who lets the second child get the upper hand?

You underestimate the men of Haicheng.

Riki: [Okay.]

We took a bus to the scenic countryside. The wooden cabin had several rooms, and there was a stream that reached above our calves right in front of the door.

"See? Thanks to me, right?" Chihaya Anon smugly.

"Thanks to you." Shiina Riki replied indifferently, then, noticing Takamatsu Akari looking beautiful today, she couldn't help but say, "Akari, your clothes are gorgeous today."

"Thank you, Rikki- chan," Takamatsu Akari said with a smile.

But why is Deng suddenly dressed so nicely today?

It's not that it's impossible, but it just feels strange.

Shiina Riki thought for a moment and then said to everyone in front of her, "Let's start making lunch. We'll have curry rice. Hurry up and gather firewood and start a fire. I don't want to go hungry at noon."

Riki and Chihaya Anon went to collect firewood together.

As expected of Aine, her mountain camping trip looked every bit like a trendy online camping trip. The hardest part was gathering firewood, which perfectly matched the imagery of Xiaohongshu).

Riki didn't object; it was just more relaxing to go out with girls.

The last time he went on a trip with his bandmates was when he and Rokko drove across Lop Nur. They didn't bring enough food, and when they came out, their eyes were green with rage, and they looked like zombies, wanting to bite anyone they saw.

"Riki, what kind of girl do you like?" Chihaya Anon asked Riki in a low voice, full of curiosity.

I told them that Aine Tetsu had a crush on me.

Sorry, my harem is already full.

Aine, you should just give up.

Riki thought for a moment and described Toyokawa Sakiko's characteristics, "She's beautiful, has waist-length hair, cooks very well, has a gentle and reliable personality, but has a bottom line that no one can cross. Sometimes she can be naive, but she's a strong girl."

"... Is that so?" Chihaya Anon nodded.

Then she turned her head and her face instantly turned red.

This is practically describing her!

Riki really has a crush on her!

These are advantages that only she possesses; among the Mygo people that Riki frequently interacts with, how many would meet this criterion like me?

What to do, what to do?!

First, let Riki take an MBTI personality test; we need to check if we're compatible.

No, no, but what if it doesn't turn out to be a good fit in the end?

Actually, Riki fits my criteria for a partner quite well.

He's very handsome, has a sunny personality, and plays musical instruments. Most importantly, he helped me out of an awkward situation in front of my classmates, which really made me... a little bit smitten.

Chihaya Anon casually asked, "Riki, if you could choose a girl to be your girlfriend in Mygo, who would you choose?"

Why are you asking this?

"Isn't this just curiosity, or do you actually like one of us?" Chihaya Anon chuckled.

Below is Aine.

I freaking like you all the time, right?

"I do have someone I like," Riki said.

"... Huh?!"

Chihaya Anon's face immediately turned bright red. Could this be... referring to her?!

"It wasn't you," Riki said, glancing at it.

Chihaya Anon frowned in suspicion, sensing that Riki was too shy to say it aloud; who else could fit this description besides her?

She's beautiful and gentle, quite skilled at playing musical instruments, and very reliable!

Chihaya Anon Aine glanced at Riki, her conviction growing stronger.

After gathering the firewood, Riki and Chihaya Anon walked back. Suddenly, she couldn't help but ask curiously, "Riki, when are you and Miaomeng going to submit more videos?"

No way, you're watching this?!

Oh right, Aine is also a fan of the two-character streamer, so it's not surprising that she watches her videos.

Chihaya Aine, her heart itching with Chihaya Anon, chuckled and said, "Actually, I saw it a long time ago, but I didn't say anything. I was quite surprised when I saw Riki appear in the Meow Dream video. You two actually know each other?"

"It was just a tragic love affair."

"Can I be on camera? I want to meet Nyanmu too," Chihaya Anon asked excitedly.

"This is work, not just making videos for fun."

"Eh..."

Back in the cabin, Shiina Riki started a fire and prepared lunch with practiced ease, leaving Chihaya Anon.

Speaking of Riki's strengths, one of them is that she's a good cook.

I'd say I'm pretty good at it.

Aine guilty.

Riki also started to help, and soon they finished preparing lunch and ate their fill. Looking at the stream in front of the wooden house, the beautiful girls couldn't help but run over and splash water on each other, wetting their thin shirts and revealing their brightly colored underwear.

The lamp is blue, which is indeed the color of a little penguin, and quite full, no wonder it's a hidden giant boob; Aine is pink, which is a bit cruel to compare among the group, so I won't say anything; Rikki is purple, which looks a bit mature, and the flesh sticking out of her clothes after being splashed with water is so perfect; Su Shi is wearing white, how come you're the only one not wearing the representative color, but you are indeed white and round, so I forgive you.

Night falls quickly in the mountains, and it's dark outside, so everyone went back to their cabins to rest. Although it was still early, they were all very tired from playing in the morning and fell asleep immediately.

Riki soaked his feet in the stream in front of the wooden house, and soon Takamatsu Akari came out and sat down next to him.

"Riki, would you like Anon-chan and Rakuna-chan?" Takamatsu Akari suddenly asked.

Light, listen to your question.

Isn't this a bit bizarre?

"No!" Riki said firmly.

Takamatsu Akari thought for a moment, then tugged at his sleeve and said, "You like them, don't you?"

You're even more generous than Sakiko; you'll be the Riki's First Wife from now on!

No, wait, the lamp really is the wife chosen by my mother.

There's something fishy going on!

"Riki likes them, then everyone in Mygo can stay together forever," Takamatsu Akari said with a smile.

"Lamp, it's not that a man and a woman can be together forever just because they like each other," Riki explained.

"But... if Anon-chan and Rakuna-chan get married to someone else, it will be difficult for them to perform together," Takamatsu Akari said with difficulty.

In Japanese society, once a woman gets married, she is expected to be prepared to end her career and become a housewife.

But... why the hell are people encouraging me to build a harem?

Riki could only comfort them, "No, don't worry, didn't they promise to be in a band for life?"

Takamatsu Akari hesitated for a moment before nodding, temporarily believing Riki's statement.

"Riki, do you want to see swimsuits?" Takamatsu Akari asked again.

The topic changed so quickly?

And when did you put on your swimsuit again?

"I changed into this because I knew Riki liked it very much," Takamatsu Akari said with a gentle smile.

I don't like it.

But the second child wouldn't listen to me.

Takamatsu Akari returned to the cabin and picked up his phone to chat with Riki's mother.

Deng: [Auntie... Mom, Riki really likes how I look in my swimsuit.]

Riki's mother told her not to call her "auntie," but to call her "mom."

That's strange.

The next day, back in Tokyo, Shiina Riki felt something was off. When they went out together, she noticed that Riki and Akari were getting closer and closer.

Standing behind the counter at Ring Cafe, Shiina Riki absentmindedly wiped the glasses. Seeing Takamatsu Akari walk in, she couldn't help but smile and say, "Akira."

"Rikki- chan," Takamatsu Akari said with a smile.

Shiina Riki, recalling something that had always felt strange, casually asked, "Akira, what do you think of Riki?"
