Chapter 344

She's stacking shields.

Riki noticed it.

Like herself, Nagasaki Sose was also testing the waters while keeping a backup plan in mind.

But this time, there is no turning back!

If this is a fleeting, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, then why waste time keeping a way out? I'll just charge headlong into the path of life!

Amidst the surprised and shy gazes of all the students in the auditorium, Riki lowered his head and kissed Nagasaki Sose on the lips.

Nagasaki Sose, like Sleeping Beauty, slowly opened her eyes, looked at Riki, and revealed a radiant smile.

It seems they are thinking the same thing.

Very good.

Two weeks later, in the sweltering heat of midsummer, it was also quite hot in the upscale apartment of Nagasaki Sose.

"It's so hot, the whole area is without power." Nagasaki Sose pulled at her collar to fan herself, sweating profusely from the heat. "Based on past experience, if the apartment is running on a diesel engine, it will take at least an hour before the air conditioning can be turned on."

"Let's take out the ice cream from the fridge and eat some to cool down," Riki said, standing up.

The two had been dating for half a month. After their kiss during the play gave Tsukinomori School a little shock of puppy love, Riki ended her role as a drama consultant teacher at Tsukinomori and officially became a tutor for the Nagasaki Sose.

Nagasaki Sose took the ice cream from Riki, took a bite, and felt the coldness spread throughout her body, even making her hair feel cooler.

"Speaking of which, did Sakiko explain to you why she left Crychic back then?" Riki asked.

"Yes, although Rikki- chan is still a little angry, everyone is understanding." Nagasaki Sose chuckled softly, then paused and squinted at Riki: "Sakiko?"

Why are you calling me so intimately?

Are you still going to call her Sakiko-bao from now on?

If the opponent is Sakiko, that would be a bit troublesome.

Therefore, it is best to eliminate threats when they become potential problems.

"I'll do as you said, not even a trace." Riki raised her hands in surrender.

The two sat in the living room, Riki occasionally pointed out the mistakes Su Shi made in her summer homework, which Nagasaki Sose nodded and corrected.

Nagasaki Sose is very sensitive to heat; the height of summer is her least favorite season. Even a little exercise will leave her drenched in sweat, especially around the cleavage of her chest.

"Su Shi, may I take off my shirt?" Riki asked.

It's too hot; I can't stand it.

"Whatever," Nagasaki Sose.

After Riki finished undressing, she sighed. Nagasaki Sose Sue glanced at Riki's well-defined and sculpted upper body.

Oh, and he has abs too.

Nagasaki Sose was so engrossed in watching that she quickly pursed her lips to stop herself from drooling.

I wish I could take off my shirt as easily as boys.

Nagasaki Sose thought about it and suddenly realized that it might not be a bad idea.

Riki is her boyfriend.

"It's so hot, I'll unbutton my pajamas too," Nagasaki Sose said, unbuttoning her pajamas one button at a time, noticing Riki's gaze suddenly shifting towards her.

That's a pervert.

Nagasaki Sose muttered to herself.

Why are the questions for this summer homework so round and white?

Riki felt her eyes were being blinded by the milky white snowflakes.

"Oh, right, Mom said she sent over a pillow to congratulate me on finding a boyfriend, saying that Riki can stay at her house," Nagasaki Sose suddenly said.

Why is there only a pillow, and no blanket or sheets?

Nagasaki's Mom is a wealthy woman and wouldn't be short of money, so there's only one truth.

I want to sleep in my Nagasaki's Mom.

No, I might be thinking the wrong thing. Maybe... Nagasaki's Mom wants me to sleep in Suzen's room?

What does Su Shi think?

As a private tutor, isn't it normal to teach some physiological knowledge?

"It's really hot," Nagasaki Sose said, fanning herself with her hand, her enormous breasts swaying unintentionally.

Buling~buling~

It's breathtaking!

Bangbang's world-class breasts!

Riki was stunned.

Riki was indeed excited, but he hesitated, wondering if it was too early.

"Riki, the sunlight shines into the living room from the balcony. It'll be cooler if we go to the room," Nagasaki Sose suddenly said.

"Walk!"

Since Su Shi has said so, then what's there to be afraid of? He wouldn't be a man!

Come on in!

Riki took Nagasaki Sose's soft hand, her face filled with anticipation and trepidation. The two walked into the room together and closed the door. Half a minute later, the door opened again, and they put Kuma-chan down by the door and closed it again.

"... Um."

Nagasaki Sose lay on her bed, holding Riki tightly in her arms, feeling the warmth of Riki's body. She felt the two of them slowly becoming one.

After Nagasaki Sose got used to it, the two gradually started exercising, and then it became more and more intense.

Five minutes later, Nagasaki Sose was drenched in sweat, glistening beads of sweat rolling down her smooth, fair back and soaking the sheets.

Nagasaki Sose is starting to like the feeling of hugging someone she likes tightly.

"Riki isn't satisfied yet, is she? I'll try my best." Nagasaki Sose looked at Riki and smiled gently.

Five minutes after saying this, Nagasaki Sose fainted.

Three years later, Nagasaki Sose did not attend university in Tokyo, but instead went to Kyoto University. She had excellent grades and considered aiming for the Tokyo University, but ultimately decided to go to Kyoto University based on her abilities.

Mygo's band is still active, and she often returns to Tokyo to perform with Ring. To this day, Mygo remains an important source of emotional support for her.

Then another source of emotional support was Riki, who lived with her.

Riki the money from composing music to buy a house with a garden in Kyoto, which distorted Nagasaki Sose's image at university—a young woman who grew up with a rich young man, got married at eighteen, and then came to university.

However, it's not entirely wrong.

"I'm back," Nagasaki Sose. "Some classmates said they wanted to have a mixer, so I came back early."

After all, she's already married, so why would she need to go on a blind date?

"You're back." Riki waved. "Rikki said he's going back to Tokyo next week to do a live show, is that alright?"

"No problem, we'll play Riki's piece then." Nagasaki Sose, smiling at Riki. "And...you mentioned Rikki?"

"I can't exactly call her Miss Shiina, can I?" Riki said. He and Shiina Riki weren't strangers.

Nagasaki Sose gets jealous too easily.

Nagasaki Sose looked at Riki, determined to keep a close eye on her and not let anyone take her away.

She had a feeling that it might be stolen if she wasn't careful.

That won't do; Riki belongs to her alone.

"Let's dress Riki in a lace nightgown tonight, and black stockings too..." Nagasaki Sose Riki said, his eyes lighting up as he smiled even more broadly.

(Su Shi's route, complete)

That's all for the individual character storylines. The other characters' storylines will be very short, maybe just one or two chapters. Also, I feel like I didn't write the side stories very well. Next, I'll try writing some shorter side stories, like those with two main characters. After I finish those, I'll start preparing for my new book.

Side Story: Mana Hatsuka Route 01

Riki transmigrated to the world of BanG Dream! and was picked up by Sumiida Mana. He is now working hard at a shrine.

Not far away stood Sumiida Mana, dressed in Miko Outfit. Her short, shoulder-length brown hair and soft red and white clothing reflected her ethereal yet earnest personality.

A look of pure innocence.

Meanwhile, Riki, working as a part-time worker at the shrine selling Ema) and Omamori, was constantly plundering the wealth of evil from the uncles and aunties, while giving them back their pure hearts. There were many worshippers at the shrine, and Riki hurriedly wiped his sweat as he looked at the long, winding line of worshippers that stretched all the way to the foot of the mountain.

Does Mana treat him like a beast of burden?

They're working themselves to death.

"Here, wipe your sweat with your handkerchief."

A delicate handkerchief appeared before Riki's eyes, and when she looked up, she saw a magnificent face.

"My name is Mikumura Shioka. Are you the Riki that Mana mentioned?" Mikumura Shioka looked at Riki and smiled. "I'm very interested in you!"

Riki had seen this magnificent face before.

Mikumura Shioka, another member of Sumimi, is also Sumiida Mana's only bandmate.

But why do I feel like my shoulders are so heavy the moment I open my mouth?

Such intense pressure!

Mikumura Shioka whispered in Riki's ear, "Mana's family shrine has always been so popular. Mana used to be the one who was busy in your spot. I thought she wouldn't be so tired this year because of the boys helping her, but I didn't expect her to go to the donation box area again. If people pray there for too long and it causes arguments, it will be even more troublesome!"

Riki felt an itch in her ears.

You can smell a faint fragrance emanating from Mikumura Shioka.

Is this the scent of a beautiful girl?

"Oh, I thought Mana was using me as a slave she'd picked up," Riki said.

"Haha, Mana is the most caring person, she would never do such a thing," Mikumura Shioka laughed, her beautiful, radiant face directly facing Riki.

Greatness needs no further explanation.

Riki noticed that Sumiida Mana glanced in their direction, her eyes filled with a hint of displeasure.

This is because they are unhappy with his laziness.

"Would you like to buy some Ema) and Omamori)?" Riki quickly tried to sell them.

"The live performance is coming up soon, let me wish you good luck, how much is it?" Mikumura Shioka.

Riki shook her head. "This is a shrine, we don't talk about money, we only talk about fate... One Ema) costs 750 fate points."

Mikumura Shioka looked up at Riki in thought.

What's wrong, sis?

I just said something stupid, it's not a capital offense, right? You don't have to look at me like I'm an idiot!

"Fate?" Mikumura Shioka thought for a moment, then smiled at Riki and said, "Then it's settled, we're destined to be together!"

"...Huh? Oh, okay." Riki paused for a moment, then nodded.

A connection was formed.

We're just friends.

After all, she's Mana's best friend, and also a beautiful girl from the BanG Dream! world, so there's no need to refuse. But why do my shoulders feel so heavy? Am I tired?

"Okay, it's settled then!" Mikumura Shioka said happily.

The more Riki looked at Mikumura Shioka's smile, the more frightened she felt.

At this moment, Sumiida Mana walked over and gently scolded Riki, "Riki, you need to be more serious about your work."
