Wakaba Mutsuki: Does Riki Like Me?
No, you're going against the Heavenly Gang!
There's a Holy Lord in the middle lane, I'm not kidding.
Looking at the diary, Riki could guess that Nagasaki Sose was writing it while smiling, and he couldn't help but chuckle as well.
Suddenly he noticed that the diary only went up to March 22nd, while Riki remembered that today was March 29th; the dates in the two worlds were almost the same.
She hasn't written in her diary for a week.
Riki started to get nervous. Could Su Shi really be dead?
If you really go to the revival round, do you think you can beat Lao Da?
Riki didn't know if it would work out, but his diary entry read, "How embarrassing, just wait and see..." He was about to continue writing when he noticed a new entry had appeared.
[March 29]
[Good.]
There was only one neat handwriting, but it finally put Riki at ease. It seemed she had made it in time. Last time she successfully saved Sakiko, but what did she save this time? Two and Gojo Su Shi?
Riki let out a long sigh, wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, and slumped onto the sofa.
Dealing with Heavy Woman is truly terrifying.
I doubt any new girls will come over.
Riki was relieved to learn that Nagasaki Sose was alright.
As for Sakiko, she was prepared after their first separation, and thought that even if they didn't see each other for a while, it shouldn't be a problem... probably.
The last limit was one week, but this time it can probably be extended to a month.
There's nothing I can do, Sakiko-bao just loves me that much.
Riki sighed, then uploaded the video that Yutenji Wakame had made to Bilibili. Of course, some brands that don't exist in the Real World were removed, so it looked just like a regular vlog.
The video immediately garnered many enthusiastic comments upon its release.
"You're the most devoted lover in Tokyo? And you always have a different girl?"
"Lao Lu, stop playing music, play with me instead! Stop bullying those girls (bursts into tears)."
"I can't believe it! This must be AI-generated. Why is it always a new beautiful girl?!"
"Just how much do you love selling dogs? You always have cute girls cosplaying as characters, don't you?"
"FFF group, finely chop the pork Lao Lu into minced meat, leaving not a single bit of fat on it."
You people only see the benefits, but completely miss the drawbacks.
All you see is me spending time with pretty girls every day, but you don't know that I also have Sakiko-bao who's family to me. Do you know how painful that is?
The video's data also rose rapidly, quickly becoming a trending topic and starting to climb the overall site rankings. This rapid rise was thanks to the fans accumulated from the previous videos.
Moreover, Riki's account quickly surpassed 200,000 followers.
I had 50,000 followers from making music, and then suddenly I got over 200,000 followers from making videos with pretty girls?
No wonder everyone wears black stockings when playing the piano now. I thought it was just the dance area revealing their true nature, but it seems I misunderstood them. I apologize.
Moreover, the video revenue is quite promising; after withdrawing the money, I can at least buy Sakiko a better computer and a new musical instrument keyboard.
Riki glanced at the clock. There was a ensemble class at Haicheng University in the afternoon. Although university students weren't as good as high school students, they still needed to be helped.
Let's eat first.
Riki got up and was about to leave the bedroom when she suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
It's so quiet. There aren't any Japanese girls on the streets. It's so different from Tokyo.
He pushed open the bedroom door and suddenly caught a glimpse of light green out of the corner of his eye. A beautiful girl, as pretty as a doll, sat quietly on the sofa. Her serene appearance even made one wonder if she was from a photograph.
Riki was dumbfounded.
Holy crap, Cucumber Sword Princess?!
When did you arrive?
"Mutsuki, when did you arrive?!" Riki was greatly shocked.
Wakaba Mutsuki turned her head and saw Riki, a hint of something appeared in her eyes, and she said softly, "About an hour ago."
"You've been sitting here for an hour?"
Wakaba Mutsuki gently shook her head. "I was scared because I suddenly appeared here, and I couldn't get through on my phone, so I went downstairs to ask someone. This seems to be China, but I don't know how I got here. Does Riki know?"
"I think I know. You'll be able to talk to people later?" Riki asked in surprise.
You're not illiterate?
Wait, you can actually speak Chinese.
Wakaba Mutsuki thought for a moment and said, "Are you speaking Chinese? Because Dad said that my future work might involve China, he made me learn Chinese a long time ago. Although I'm not very fluent yet, I can have normal conversations without any problems."
I see. Wakaba's father is a comedian, so he naturally knows that the Japanese entertainment industry is far less lucrative than China's. Even top Japanese entertainers are less popular than third-tier stars in China. It's normal that he was prepared for this.
Simply put, they want to eat Chinese cannons.
To be precise, they wanted Mutsuki-chan to eat Chinese cannon.
Riki nodded.
Perfect timing! I also have a Chinese-made cannon. Mutsuki-chan, you don't mind, do you?
Riki explained to Wakaba Mutsuki why she had suddenly appeared at her house.
"So, this isn't kidnapping?" Wakaba Mutsuki asked.
Mutsuki-chan, if I really wanted to abduct a beautiful girl, Suze-chan would already be a cream puff.
"Of course not. You can stay here for now. You'll go back after a while. Sakiko and Su Shi are the same," Riki said.
"Sakiko and... Su Shi?" Wakaba Mutsuki was taken aback and turned to look at Riki.
So, are they that familiar with Riki?
In order to be able to talk to Su Shi, she also needed to get close to Riki.
******
The word count for updates during the Chinese New Year period was slightly affected, but it will be adjusted back to 4,000 words per chapter soon.
Chapter 84 Wakaba Mutsuki: Riki Like Me?
"Is this another world?" Wakaba Mutsuki stood at the window, looking at the bustling streets below, a place she was unfamiliar with.
You make yourself sound like that.
"Here, your world appears in the form of an anime series," Riki said. "That's supposed to be your original future."
Future?
Wakaba Mutsuki stared blankly at Riki, which amused Riki.
Mutsuki-chan, why are you acting like a silly goose?
Taking out her treasure notebook, Riki opened the anime page and placed it in front of Wakaba Mutsuki. Wakaba Mutsuki didn't have many scenes in the show, but she watched it very attentively, and the occasional comments that floated by made her lower her eyelids slightly.
"My Mutsuki, my Mutsuki, please say something!"
"Tell me one, two, three Mutsuki."
"Mutsuki-chan, how do you feel when you see Su-se kneeling before another woman? (crying)"
"Believe me, Wakaba Mutsuki is currently the strongest hero, she only deals true damage..."
Wakaba Mutsuki looked at the scene on the screen where Nagasaki Sose was kneeling on the ground, pleading with Toyokawa Sakiko by her hand, she showed the same sad expression as the girl on the screen.
Mutsuki-chan, put aside your desire to help others.
Su Shi was a complete idiot before I calibrated her; it's normal for her to look a bit clumsy in the video. The Su Shi you see now, after my calibration, is much better than before.
In Riki's view, Wakaba Mutsuki clicked the progress bar again and watched it once more.
Riki: "?"
Repeatedly desecrating a corpse?
Wakaba Mutsuki finally sat quietly in her seat with her hands on her lap and softly said, "I understand."
What did you realize?
Riki walked over and sat down, then thought for a moment and said, "The video is for reference only. Su Shi still cares about you; she considers you a friend."
"Thank you." Wakaba Mutsuki nodded gently.
Did they even listen to what I said?
Riki looked at Wakaba Mutsuki. She was like a beautiful doll, whose main activity was looking up at him. Unlike the poor but strong Toyokawa Sakiko and the rich but scheming Nagasaki Sose, she was a beautiful girl with no emotions.
"I'm going to buy some lunch now, shall we go together?"
Riki felt that if she didn't talk to her, the girl might just sit on the sofa and starve to death without saying a word.
"Okay." Wakaba Mutsuki nodded gently and followed beside Riki.
Mutsuki-chan is so cute.
Riki turned her head to look at Wakaba Mutsuki next to her. Today, she wasn't wearing her original skin, but rather the same navy blue plaid dress with a Peter Pan collar as in the last episode, with a cucumber green bow tie at the chest and a navy blue lace hoop around her neck. Her light green hair could easily steal the hearts of any boy on the street with a sway.
Don't look, this is my Mutsuki-chan.
Looking at the scenery around her on the street, Wakaba Mutsuki asked, "Is this Riki's hometown?"
Riki replied, "Yes, Riki also has her own life."
Entering the supermarket, Chef Riki pondered what to cook for the day. Looking at the ingredients on the shelves, he hesitated between Master Kang and Uni-President. "How about five buckets of Uni-President?"
Riki turned her head and saw Wakaba Mutsuki standing in the vegetable section, staring intently at the fresh and juicy cucumbers.
What, have you been conquered by 5,000 years of vegetable-growing experience in our great China?
"Do you want to buy it?" Riki asked.
Wakaba Mutsuki shook her head slightly and whispered, "I didn't bring any money."
She doesn't have any RMB, so she can't buy anything here.
And she can't let anyone else pay for her; she's never done that before. Most importantly... if she gets caught, her dad will scold her.
"Do you want me to buy it for you?" Riki asked.
Wakaba Mutsuki shook her head.
"I see. Let's go then." Riki nodded.
Wakaba Mutsuki looked at the cucumbers on the shelf with a little reluctance. They were among the best-grown cucumbers she had ever seen. If she could, she would like to take them home and grow them, but as expected, it was not possible now.
I can't trouble others, because I might accidentally get photographed by reporters.
That's what Dad said.
Wakaba Mutsuki walked slowly with her eyes lowered, when she suddenly noticed that Riki was not beside her. Startled, she quickly turned around to look for Riki, only to find Riki standing behind her, holding a transparent plastic bag filled with cucumbers.
"This isn't for you, I wanted to eat it myself," Riki said to Wakaba Mutsuki, waving the cucumber in her hand. "But everyone has a share, so if you teach me how to make cucumbers delicious, I'll share some with you."
Wakaba Mutsuki a faint smile appeared on her face, and she nodded gently. "Okay."
That way, it won't be considered disobeying Dad and Mom.
Riki, you're so smart.
Wakaba Mutsuki looked at Riki with a slightly admiring gaze.
Mutsuki-chan, don't get too infatuated with your buddy.
