Chapter 328

"I meant my house, not yours," Riki said.

We've only known each other for less than a month, and you already want to become part of the Lu family?

Sorry, buddy, I'm not an easy guy.

Japanese girls are so shameless. Do they think they can just fawn over you because you're a foreigner?

Is the moon rounder in Japan?

The moon shines brighter in Haicheng!

However, considering that Sakiko is a beautiful blue-haired girl, and I even sleep with her sky-blue panties as a figurine every day, I'll let it go.

Sigh, I was hoping to get the Mai-senpai.

Toyokawa Sakiko blushed and snorted, "I even helped you rent this room. It's my house, so there's no problem. I'm leaving now, going home."

The two carried their groceries from the supermarket back to their old apartment. The night sky was full of stars, the streetlights were twinkling, the evening breeze was a little cool, and they could hear the horns of cars on the distant highway.

"You don't need to be so cold to Su Shi. She's not a bad woman," Riki said.

"This is my business, Riki, you don't need to worry about it," Toyokawa Sakiko said calmly.

Her eyes were filled with determination and stubbornness.

Riki was impressed by her unwavering determination and said, "Then I don't have to worry about cockroaches in your room, right?"

"..." Toyokawa Sakiko's face stiffened, and her cheeks slowly turned red.

She can handle debts that would be unbearable for even adults, and she can endure a fall in living standards from luxury to frugality. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call her a JK superhero.

But except for one thing... cockroaches.

She felt only a deep-seated fear of these creatures. Whenever they moved their fine, hooked feet, or their shiny brown backs spread their wings and made a flapping sound, Toyokawa Sakiko would immediately go blank and fall into deep terror.

Especially since her father's lifestyle habits were getting worse and worse, and the old apartment was already a bit damp, the frequency of these issues was increasing, and she simply couldn't handle it on her own.

But... she firmly stated that Riki didn't need to concern herself with her affairs.

"You can help with small things... small matters," Toyokawa Sakiko said somewhat guiltily, carrying the supermarket bags in both hands.

This is the standard of flexibility for Japanese girls.

Riki shook her head and sighed.

As they continued walking, Toyokawa Sakiko suddenly asked, "Why does Riki care about Crychic?"

Riki replied matter-of-factly, "If my friend is in trouble and I don't help, my mom will abandon me in the Sahara Desert to survive... I'm not helping you because you're a pretty girl. My bandmate was being forced into marriage, and I rescued him from Singapore."

"Am I Riki's friend?" Toyokawa Sakiko asked, momentarily stunned.

So, I was the only one who considered you a friend?

I'd rather not be friends with this person!

Riki's face darkened.

Seeing Riki's expression, Toyokawa Sakiko confirmed her somewhat uneasy thoughts, and a bright, happy smile appeared on her face, "Then let's have a friend's meal tonight, I'll give you extra meat."

The two of them are friends now.

Toyokawa Sakiko walked beside Riki, secretly glancing at Riki's profile.

"Are you going to form Mujica?" Riki asked while eating.

Two dishes and two bowls of rice were placed on the low round table; this was their dinner for the day. Riki sat cross-legged on the tatami mat, while Toyokawa Sakiko knelt upright.

"Yes, that's the only way to solve our current predicament." Toyokawa Sakiko nodded. "Starting tomorrow, I'll contact some talent agencies. With the Toyokawa Family's reputation, we should be able to get in touch."

"So you're not planning to contact those people anymore?" Riki asked.

"They... will be happy." Toyokawa Sakiko pursed her lips, unwilling to talk about it further. After finishing dinner, she returned to her room to take a shower, but when she turned on the tap, she found the water was still cold.

Is the water heater broken?

It's winter now, taking a cold shower can be deadly.

She's a bit of a germaphobe and can't stand it if she doesn't wash it.

Toyokawa Sakiko peeked through the crack in Riki's door. "Riki, could I use your bathroom? My water heater is broken."

Is borrowing just the bathroom enough?

If you need, you can borrow my blanket to warm it up.

I don't mind.

"Use it if you want, build whatever you want," Riki said magnanimously.

Toyokawa Sakiko hugged the clean clothes to her chest and hurried to the bathroom.

But Riki still caught a glimpse of color from her embrace.

They really are sky-blue panties.

Listening to the sound of water in the bathroom, Riki felt a little restless.

The anime-style cute girl is taking a bath in the bathroom right in front of me, which makes me a little itchy... no, my heart itches.

Thankfully, I'm not a pervert, otherwise I'd be imagining what parts of Sakiko was washing in the bathroom right now.

Two weeks later, Toyokawa Sakiko felt that her relationship with Riki had become a little too close lately, slightly exceeding the level of friendship.

Not only do they often eat together, but the faucet has been broken for two weeks, and recently he's been showering in Riki's room. When he comes home, Riki greets him with "You're back." This is practically living together!

Toyokawa Sakiko was lost in thought when she snapped out of it, picked up her schoolbag, and left the classroom to go home. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Takamatsu Akari also walking out of the classroom next door. Takamatsu Akari paused for a moment, hesitated, but was too afraid and guilty to speak.

Toyokawa Sakiko bit her lip and walked home with her eyes downcast.

Just pretend Crychic never assembled anything.

You'll be happy at Mygo from now on.

Toyokawa Sakiko walked back to the old apartment and instinctively went to Riki's room to open the door.

"How did I so naturally decide to go to Riki's room?" Toyokawa Sakiko blushed and muttered to herself, "But there's nothing much to do in my room anyway, so I'll just say hello to Riki first."

Sakiko convinced himself.

The two were already quite familiar with each other, and recently Sakiko had stopped knocking when he came in, simply pushing the door open and walking in.

"Riki, I'm in... What's wrong?!"

As soon as Toyokawa Sakiko entered the room, she felt the heavy atmosphere. Riki lay on the tatami mat, as peaceful as a corpse.

At that moment, Toyokawa Sakiko's heart trembled violently. She almost panicked, dropped her schoolbag on the ground, and hurriedly went to Riki's side.

Riki is her only friend now.

We absolutely cannot let anything happen!

Toyokawa Sakiko was extremely nervous.

Trembling, she reached out to touch Riki's chest to see if he had a heartbeat.

"Why are you planning to molest me?" Riki suddenly asked Sakiko.

"You're not dead?" Toyokawa Sakiko couldn't help but ask.

"Should I... die?" Riki was also confused.

Why are you cursing me to die?

Hey, if it's not Toyokawa Sakiko, do you not consider me a friend? Are you just waiting for me to die so you can inherit my Sakiko?

"Then why are you lying there... so straight?" Toyokawa Sakiko, somewhat annoyed.

I've actually been deceived by Riki.

As expected of Teacher Da Xiang, even his speech is so elegant. If it were Rokko, he would probably only be able to spout nonsense like "lying there like a corpse."

"Sigh." Riki sighed and sat up.

Toyokawa Sakiko found it strange; Riki didn't seem to be joking, and it was very rare to see him sighing like this.

"What's wrong?" Toyokawa Sakiko couldn't help but ask with concern, adding, "We're friends, I'll help you if you need anything."

Just like Riki wanted to help her.

"We won a special prize in the competition," Riki sighed.

"The competition... Ah, the national music competition you mentioned to me before?" Toyokawa Sakiko remembered. Riki had been very excited when he mentioned it, and it was a very large competition. Most importantly... his opponent was said to be a beautiful girl from the Beijing team, which made Sakiko a little unhappy.

"It's okay to fail, there will be other opportunities in the future," Toyokawa Sakiko comforted Riki, sitting down next to her. "Riki has already tried her best, hasn't she...?"

"Indeed." Riki nodded. "We even improvised on the spot. We didn't follow the sheet music, but we still tried our best..."

Toyokawa Sakiko couldn't comfort them anymore. "Didn't you bring this on yourselves?"

Is this really not your fault?

Seeing Riki's disappointed look, Toyokawa Sakiko comforted her, "Let's cook something nice for Riki tonight."

Thank you, Xiang's mother.

After finishing dinner, Toyokawa Sakiko went back to her room to grab her clothes so she could take a shower after eating. Just then, she saw a dark shadow flash by in the corner of the wall.

Toyokawa Sakiko's face stiffened.

Riki noticed that Sakiko had brought bedding as well.

"Riki, I'll sleep here tonight... something happened to me over there." Toyokawa Sakiko's eyes were filled with panic.

Wasn't that no longer for sale?

Oh, you mean cockroaches?

Riki understood. This was Chekhov's gun, and also Murphy's Law. If he said there would be cockroaches in the room that Sakiko was afraid of, then cockroaches would definitely appear.

Thank you, cockroach, for letting me sleep with Teacher Da Xiang.

After taking a shower, Toyokawa Sakiko shyly pulled the blankets a little further away from Riki, but not too obviously. It was the first time she had ever slept in a room with a boy.

Will he do anything strange?

Toyokawa Sakiko was a little nervous. Although Riki was a good person, what if he acted impulsively?

Based on my observations over the past month, I... seem to fit Riki's type quite well.

Toyokawa Sakiko's face flushed slightly. Taking advantage of the moonlight streaming into the room through the window, she pulled down the covers and looked up at Riki.

Riki was fast asleep.

When did he fall asleep?

Toyokawa Sakiko was a little dumbfounded; she had fallen asleep the moment her head hit the pillow?

I'm so nervous here, and you just fell asleep right away?

Sakiko felt a surge of resentment. "I'm a pretty girl, for goodness' sake! How come you don't have even the slightest impure thought?"

But I also feel a little relieved.

Toyokawa Sakiko, using her pillow as a resting place, slowly drifted off to sleep.

The next morning, when the two got up, Riki saw Toyokawa Sakiko stretch, her pajamas lifted up to reveal her slender waist, oh... and two shallow dimples on her back.

The two exchanged a glance.

Toyokawa Sakiko froze. She had been sleeping so comfortably for so long that she had forgotten she was in Riki's room.

"I... I'll go wash my face," Toyokawa Sakiko said hastily, her face flushed with embarrassment.

"Go ahead, go ahead," Riki said.

He also needed to calm down the morning's gunfire.

It just goes to show how much energy young people have.

I got a sniper rifle just looking at the tiny waist of a JK (high school girl).
