Mutsumi: Thanks to Riku / Saving Private Mutsumi

Riki was slightly pleased with herself. She bought some more groceries and went to the cashier to pay.

"Xiao Yi, why do you have a new girlfriend again this time?" The saleswoman at the counter looked at the cute Wakaba Mutsuki and wanted nothing more than to pinch her cheeks and give her a good rub.

Just as Riki was about to speak, Wakaba Mutsuki said, "I am not Riki's girlfriend."

"... This time, someone who can talk has come?" The clerk at the counter was taken aback.

You've misunderstood; actually, this person is the one who's worst at speaking.

"She's a distant relative, just treat her like my sister," Riki explained.

"Little sister? You can't do anything bad to her! I remember the kid next door was into anime, watching something like 'Yosuga no Sora,' and his leg got broken!"

No, how do you know so much?!

Riki quickly paid and pulled Wakaba Mutsuki away from the supermarket.

"Is she saying that Riki likes me?" Wakaba Mutsuki asked, looking at Riki. "Riki likes me?"

Don't ask, sis, I'm sweating a bit.

"She was just joking, don't take it seriously," Riki said with a light laugh.

Wakaba Mutsuki nodded slightly, her quiet face revealing nothing of her thoughts.

But it seems like her every move is subject to invisible constraints. Is this due to her family upbringing?

Riki glanced at Wakaba Mutsuki, said nothing, and went home with her to cook lunch. Then she took out the cucumber seeds she bought at the supermarket and planted them on the balcony.

"Is this okay?" Riki asked, looking at the flowerpot that Wakaba Mutsuki was watering.

"Yes, when it grows up, we can plant it in a bigger pot with the soil." Wakaba Mutsuki, watering the plants with an expectant expression.

She really loves cucumbers.

"Does Riki also like planting things?" Wakaba Mutsuki, looking at the flowerpots on the balcony.

"It's alright, I like nature," Riki said. "Flowers, trees, sky, breeze, clouds, sun, rainbows, ocean, beach, sand, earth..."

"Wow, that's amazing." Wakaba Mutsuki exclaimed in surprise, "There are even more than I like."

Mutsuki-chan, I really need to complain about this.

"My mother likes to grow things, but almost everything she grows dies. She's such a spendthrift," Riki explained.

Wakaba Mutsuki hesitated and said, "Riki... is it okay for you to say that about Mom?"

"Because we have a good relationship, it's okay to say a few words, even if I get whipped," Riki said after thinking for a moment.

Is this what a normal family is like?

Wakaba Mutsuki blinked.

She didn't understand, but she was very envious.

"Ring ring--"

Riki's phone rang. He had to go to class at Haicheng University. He thought for a moment and looked at Wakaba Mutsuki. If he left her alone at home, she might just sit on the sofa and wait for him to come back all day. Even if Riki was a superman, he wouldn't do such a thing.

"Mu, come to school with me," Riki said.

Riki's school? Wakaba Mutsuki looked at Riki.

Chapter 85 Harmony: Thanks to Riki

Riki and Wakaba Mutsuki walked towards the subway station.

"Walking there would be tiring. There's a car left by Lao Deng at home. If I weren't still learning to drive, I could drive straight to the school. That would be more in line with your young lady's style." Riki said. Otherwise Wakaba Mutsuki wouldn't have taken the initiative to chat, and they would have remained silent the whole way.

"A driver's license? That's impressive." Wakaba Mutsuki looked at Riki.

"Of course I took the manual transmission test, not because I look down on automatic transmissions, but because Bruce took the C1 test," Riki said.

"Who is Bruce?" Wakaba Mutsuki asked curiously. "Is he Riki's friend?"

"Bruce is a dog!"

Bruce passed the C1 exam in 47 days, so how can I say I can't do it?

Riki's fierce expression made Wakaba Mutsuki unable to help but raise a faint smile, which she quickly concealed and returned to her calm demeanor.

Mutsuki-chan, do you also have Ainz Ooal Gown's forced calmness?

If you conquer the world, take me with you. I'll be the first to betray you and join the Cucumber faction. All I need are the seven beautiful maid girls from the Pleiades.

After sitting down in the subway, Wakaba Mutsuki quietly observed the surrounding scenery, while the other passengers looked at Wakaba Mutsuki curiously.

What a cute girl! Did she come out with her boyfriend or her brother?

This boy is so handsome!

The girl's clothes are very high-end; could she be a rich heiress?

Try making a Douyin video; it might just go viral!

Wakaba Mutsuki Riki noticed and leaned forward slightly to shield her from view, smiling as she watched the Wakaba Mutsuki Little fairy taking photos.

I can't control the cherry blossom Little fairy, but I can certainly control you, the Haicheng Little fairy?

Were people's opinions sought?

The Little fairy's face darkened when she saw that she was being blocked. It seemed she couldn't film this beautiful girl and pretend to be her to hook up with men. Although she was the top-tier character, if Riki had a duel with her before she called the police, the problem after the police arrived wouldn't be a false accusation but a fight. She was just a slightly chubby runaway Princess weighing 180 pounds; how could she possibly beat Riki, a tall boy who was just over 180 centimeters tall?

But would he really dare to hit a woman?

Riki was equipping the Knight's Spirit rune, nodded amicably, and casually rolled up his sleeves to reveal his muscular physique, displaying a touch of chivalry.

The Little fairy's face changed, and she slunk away, vowing never to travel here again. She posted Xiaohongshu first.

Someone on the subway laughed out loud as they watched the Little fairy's retreating figure, and the air instantly filled with joy.

Wakaba Mutsuki then realized what was happening and, looking slightly flustered, hid behind Riki.

"It's okay, she didn't take a picture of you. You don't like being photographed, right?" Riki shrugged and looked at Wakaba Mutsuki.

He noticed from the last cultural festival that Wakaba Mutsuki was very sensitive about being photographed, probably because of the pressure from her parents, which made her afraid to be filmed except in front of the television.

Riki knew that Wakaba Mutsuki was very sensitive, so she paid close attention to her surroundings from the very beginning.

"...Thank you," Wakaba Mutsuki whispered her thanks.

"No need to thank me, I just did what I should do. It's not because you're a pretty girl, but because you're my friend," Riki said.

"Mm." Wakaba Mutsuki nodded slightly, feeling a warmth in her heart.

She thought for a moment and asked, "What's at Riki's university?"

An ultrasound was performed.

There is also a considerable amount of medical equipment, and the various professional teachers are all naturally outstanding teachers recruited by the principal from all over the country.

"It'll be just like any other university. You can sit next to me during class," Riki said to Wakaba Mutsuki a smile.

Today's lesson was a ensemble class, and it was even a quiz. Riki and Wakaba Mutsuki sat at the back of the classroom, while students went up on stage in twos and threes to perform and then the professional teachers scored them.

"The students here are all so talented," Wakaba Mutsuki she listened to their performance.

Each student is exceptionally talented.

"Indeed, that's at the level of Riki with eight or nine fingers," Riki said.

Wakaba Mutsuki didn't understand, but still looked at Riki and nodded obediently.

awsl.

Mutsuki-chan adorable.

Think...

No, I can't think about it. Mutsuki-chan's Loli appearance is a bit too much.

I'd rather think about Sakiko-bao.

And also, um... Su Shi.

Speaking of which, both of them have a very close relationship with Mutsuki-chan, so maybe Mutsuki-chan can talk to them about things like how they are both his wings.

"Next, Lu Yi and your ensemble partner." The teacher called out the name, and the other students looked at Riki while holding their instruments.

As expected of the famous Lu duo from Haicheng University, their posture alone is incredibly strong.

But where are his ensemble partners?

Is that the pretty girl next to me?

Riki stood up, turned around and said, "Rokko, it's our turn."

He turned around the classroom and looked around but didn't see Liuwa. He frowned slightly, picked up his phone and started sending messages to the bassist.

Riki: [Rokko, where are you?]

Liuwa: [You still want to go out and play? Don't you know you have a ensemble exam tomorrow? I have to go practice right after dinner... I'm working so hard for our credits, what about you?]

Riki: [Sorry, it's mine.]

I shouldn't have been in the same group as you.

Let's look at it from a more optimistic perspective. Maybe the Liuwa is just pretending, but he does know that today is the small test.

"I'll help," Wakaba Mutsuki suddenly said. "Is that alright?"

Mutsuki-chan?!

"Because Riki helped me on the subway just now, I want to help Riki too," Wakaba Mutsuki Mu whispered.

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you." Riki nodded. "I'll revise the score first, give me a little time."

Live music score alteration?

Wakaba Mutsuki was stunned for a moment, then sat quietly watching Riki quickly alter the sheet music beyond recognition before pulling her onto the stage together.

The teacher looked at Riki and Wakaba Mutsuki next to him without saying much, and said, "We can begin."

Riki replaced Liuwa as bassist, and Wakaba Mutsuki played the guitar, which she was better at, and a very wild seven-string guitar at that.

After the performance began, the students sitting in the classroom who were preparing all changed their expressions and looked over attentively.

This pretty girl is very good at shooting.

Even at Haicheng University, a place renowned for its brilliant talent, she holds her own. Judging by her age, she's only around middle school level. If she were a few years older, wouldn't she be able to easily crush these little brats?

Where did that beast Riki find such a beautiful girl?

You fucking deserve to die!

Wakaba Mutsuki felt the curious gazes around her, which weren't like the sometimes malicious ones she sometimes received when she was on television, she gradually relaxed.

"Okay, A."

After the performance, the teacher gave feedback.

"Teacher, I've seen the sunrise at Haicheng University at four in the morning, can I get more points for that?"

There are no Black people at our school.

Okay.

Riki and Wakaba Mutsuki returned to their seats and asked, "How are you feeling?"

"Hmm, very good." Wakaba Mutsuki smiled gently, like a dandelion, as she looked at Riki.

"Thanks to Riki."

Riki is a fascinating person.
