Rock Girl Arrives By My Side!

What will he say later?

Knowing his style, he definitely won't admit he misses me, right?

He'll probably just stammer and change the subject.

He still thinks I never saw through him before, but the way he was back then was also cute.

Toyokawa Sakiko let out a lighthearted laugh. Turning the street corner, she found the sunlight was just right. Two people were standing in front of the Hachiko statue: Nagasaki Sose, and... Riki.

Why were they standing together?

Toyokawa Sakiko froze. An unprecedented emotional shock made her head spin.

Are they looking for me?

Sose-chan wants to reform Crychic, so they're waiting for me, right?

Toyokawa Sakiko dared not think further. If it was the relationship she dared not imagine, she would surely...

Toyokawa Sakiko took a deep breath, put on a brilliant smile unlike any before, and ran towards Riki with a Japanese-style sprint. Before Riki and Nagasaki Sose could react, she hugged Riki tightly.

"I missed you so much!!"

Toyokawa Sakiko exclaimed loudly.

Her face was full of smiles.

Her voice was full of joy.

Toyokawa Sakiko's voice was so loud that the surrounding passersby turned their heads. Seeing such a beautiful girl speaking so loudly made them feel a pang of envy. They then looked at Riki, whom she was hugging tightly, and saw the equally youthful and beautiful Nagasaki Sose standing beside him.

You bastard, you're so damn lucky!

Riki also didn't expect Toyokawa Sakiko to give him a big hug after just a week apart. He was deeply touched.

Miss Sakiko, all encounters in this world are reunions after a long separation.

"Sakiko, can you let go of me now?" Riki said quickly. Too many people were staring at him, and he was incredibly shy.

"Are you blushing?" Toyokawa Sakiko asked, looking at him with a radiant smile.

Riki was lost in her smile, unable to speak.

No, it's only been a week, how did your succubus form level up again?

Riki, a young man with a lion in his eyes, was shamefully flustered in the face of Sakiko's succubus form. He admitted that Sakiko was playing him too well, making his hands tremble.

"No way, I'm naturally like this. I'm known as a shy guy at school; everyone calls me Sunny Bro." Riki couldn't admit to Toyokawa Sakiko's teasing.

As expected, he always talks nonsense when he's shy like this...

Toyokawa Sakiko couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle at Riki's reaction.

Seeing Toyokawa Sakiko holding on and not letting go, the passersby remembered their similar high school youth... they also watched others hug like this, and their eyes involuntarily shot out killing intent, staring fiercely at Riki.

Riki had only one thought in his mind—Sose is doomed.

"Um... Sakiko-chan!"

Nagasaki Sose, who had been standing by, finally reacted. Toyokawa Sakiko's actions were completely beyond her expectations. In her mind, Sakiko had always been a calm and dignified girl, never hugging a boy so tightly before.

Could it be that...

Sakiko really likes Riki?

"I came here to wait for you too. Listen, I know about Sakiko-chan's situation now. It must be very difficult with the problems at home, but I have plenty of allowance money every month, I can give it to Sakiko..."

Nagasaki Sose said quickly, looking at Toyokawa Sakiko expectantly.

"Sose-chan!"

Toyokawa Sakiko interrupted her, disappointment in her voice: "Even knowing all this, you still haven't changed. You're still only thinking about yourself."

"No, I really want to help Sakiko-chan. This way, Sakiko won't have to form Mujika. To me, Crychic is the best band!" Nagasaki Sose said frantically.

"That's why I said you're only thinking about yourself!"

Toyokawa Sakiko said coldly, looking at Nagasaki Sose's dazed expression: "You've formed a new band now, forget about Crychic."

"But..."

Nagasaki Sose still had something to say, her expression anxious.

"I'm a band member with Riki now, and he'll provide me with technical support. Are you suggesting you want Riki to join Crychic too?" Toyokawa Sakiko said indifferently.

"Riki has another band?" Nagasaki Sose was stunned.

This was something she had never considered.

Isn't he Mygo's music advisor?

Why is he providing technical support for Mujika?

So he's not exclusive to Mygo?

Because Riki helped the members of Mygo so naturally, Nagasaki Sose had never even considered that Riki didn't have to help them at all.

This feeling of easily losing what's mine... makes me uneasy.

Nagasaki Sose subconsciously looked at Riki beside her, took a deep breath, and said gently, "Sakiko-chan, I think I understand now. I won't bother you for a while, but please believe that I've always liked everyone."

Toyokawa Sakiko looked at Nagasaki Sose, her once close friend, and ultimately couldn't bring herself to say anything cruel.

"Then I'll head to school first," Nagasaki Sose said with a smile.

She gave Riki a deep look, a flash of thought in her eyes.

She understood completely. The key was Riki.

Everything just needed to start with Riki.

Nagasaki Sose would never give up on Crychic.

The Hachiko statue was, after all, a popular spot in Shibuya. Riki and Toyokawa Sakiko couldn't linger there for too long, and Sakiko herself, being a beautiful girl, was already quite noticeable. They had to leave on foot.

I should have suggested meeting in Ikebukuro instead. That place is the real embassy for Chinese people.

--Stop asking me questions in Japanese, this is Ikebukuro!

"Which way are we going now?" Riki asked.

"On the way to the hospital."

"Ah, you know I have a cold?"

"You have a cold!?" Toyokawa Sakiko paused and quickly said.

Sakiko-bao, I thought we had telepathy.

I was even ready to pay tribute to the great Sakiko operative.

Give me back my moment of touching emotion.

"I told the teacher I was taking leave, saying my brother broke his leg and I needed to go to the hospital to see him. The teacher asked me to take a photo as proof once I got there," Toyokawa Sakiko explained.

"Huh?" Riki was stunned. You've learned to lie now?

Sakiko, that excuse isn't great. Next time, remember to say one of your family members got hit.

If your dad got hit, we could pop champagne.

It's fine if I get hit. I'm an art student, I've got Second World War vibes, I can remake.

"It's because you're always saying what excuses to use when taking leave from school, I've heard you say it so often... I just ended up using it," Toyokawa Sakiko said a little awkwardly.

That's because I'm the top student in the grade!

And you?

Oh, Sakiko, you're on scholarship at Haneoka too? Never mind then.

"You still haven't told me about your cold!" Toyokawa Sakiko asked urgently, her face full of worry.

Riki recounted what happened when it rained earlier, intentionally omitting the part where Sose was wrapped in a towel, to avoid negatively influencing a minor.

"Sose-chan..." Toyokawa Sakiko said calmly, "I see. I understand. I'll buy some medicine when we go to the hospital then."

"It's not really necessary, I'm almost better."

Toyokawa Sakiko was very stubborn and pulled Riki into the hospital to register.

"Miss Sakiko, please bring your boyfriend over. The doctor is free now," the nurse said.

Nurse, we're not at that stage yet...

"Okay, I'll bring him over right away," Toyokawa Sakiko said with a smile to the nurse, then turned to Riki, "Let's go."

Riki blinked.

Did Sakiko not pay attention to what the nurse said just now?

Or did she forget to clarify?

Toyokawa Sakiko grabbed Riki's hand, smiling as she spoke to the nurse.

For some reason, looking at Toyokawa Sakiko's beautiful amber eyes, which she hadn't seen in a week, Riki felt like there was a hidden emotion in them. For some reason, Riki felt the Earth's gravity had increased slightly.

He felt like he was captured by gravity?

Chapter 38: Falling into Sakiko Mode

"Miss Sakiko, please have your boyfriend use the thermometer."

"Okay," Toyokawa Sakiko said with a smile.

Something's not right.

Riki felt that Toyokawa Sakiko was a bit off. Although she was still the sweet Sakiko-bao from a week ago, now, in addition to being sweet, there was also a subtle, almost imperceptible pressure about her.

"Riki, hold your hand up. I'll help you put the thermometer in," Toyokawa Sakiko's beautiful face appeared before Riki, her eyes curved into crescents as she smiled.

No problem, as long as it's Sakiko-bao, I can pose anytime.

Wait, something seems off.

"Oh, oh, oh, you mean your hands... " Riki quickly raised his hands.

Toyokawa Sakiko looked at Riki strangely, but when Riki said things boys didn't understand, half the time he was talking about lewd topics, and the other half he was setting up for lewd topics. It was extremely rare that he was discussing paper figures.

Toyokawa Sakiko blushed and pinched his cheek angrily.

"The hospital is very crowded today, please go squeeze in," Riki said.

"Actually, it's not that crowded, because people from out of town don't really want to waste money at the hospital. Most of the people who come are from Tokyo," Toyokawa Sakiko shook her head.

An old Tokyoite's grandpa is still a grandpa, kid.

The fear that transcends death!

As Toyokawa Sakiko placed the thermometer for Riki, she looked at his wrist. On it was the four-leaf clover bracelet she had given him before. She immediately broke into a beautiful smile, and the four-leaf clover necklace under her clothes swayed slightly.

The necklace you gave me, I'm wearing it well too.

So we will never be apart.

"Aren't you going to take a picture for your teacher? Hurry up and take it while I'm weak, otherwise it'll be hard to take pictures once I'm back to full health," Riki said.

"That's true."

Toyokawa Sakiko sat next to Riki, close to his body, and picked up her phone.

This doesn't feel like taking a picture of a patient, but more like taking a couple's photo.

Riki's nose was filled with the scent coming from Toyokawa Sakiko. Her youthful, soft body undulated alluringly beneath her clothes, making one yearn for her.
