Are you, as meal replacement users, ready for the consequences?

If she continued, Su Shi would burst into tears.

When the tears flow on the beach, they will become the smallest seasonal river that flows into the sea.

"Su Shi, you're so real right now. You always seemed a little reserved to me."

Am I... being fake?

"Look, compare yourself now with before, don't you look much more real? You've even forgotten to use a fake voice."

"!!!"

"this is not…"

"Hey, you still have one more question to ask, don't forget."

Nagasaki Motoyo has become uninhibited now. She reluctantly looks up at the bicycle in the distance, Ningzi's socks fluttering like flags.

"I thought I'd at least get a word of comfort during this situation..."

Su Shi boldly uttered those words, but immediately regretted them as usual.

"Comfort? I don't know how to comfort people. I'll just call you a nobody and then bully you. It's awful, right? Anyway, you're not going to run away, so I won't pretend anymore."

"So hurry up and ask, Su Shishi, ask the last question. This is what you deserve."

Su Shishi? What an adorable nickname, is she talking about me?

Nagasaki Motoyo's clothes were completely soaked and transparent, and small pebbles had gotten into her back.

"I want to ask, Ningzi, you..."

Ch180. In the end, Ningzi chose to jump into the sea.

"I want to ask, Ningzi, when will you abandon me?"

Su Shi still stared at the moon in disbelief. Today's events were getting more and more outrageous, and she even felt that if the sky were to fall, it would be a small matter.

"What kind of question is this? You're just a nobody."

"Is it today? Is it the end after this parting... our... friendship?"

"Huh? This question... let me think about it."

How could I possibly answer something like that?

Why do you think I can live until after we part ways? That's so bold. We might die together in a few seconds.

Toyokawa Ningko also lay down like Nagasaki Motoyo, lying directly on Motoyo's calves.

I just noticed that this guy, who looks like he's been married, is wearing white stockings today.

Stockings soaked by seawater are a symbol of a distressed young girl.

“Abandoning you is such a tempting thing. If it were Ningzi five days ago, she would have left immediately. But if it were Ningzi yesterday, she might have hesitated for a moment before leaving—”

"Woo..."

"Don't rush to grieve. All the Toyokawa Nekos before this moment are dead, which means they were wrong, so I have to make a choice that goes against Nekos's wishes."

"At least, you can stay by my side until you make me feel bad again, if you don't mind that I'm not Xiangzi."

"So, Xiao Ning, would you mind if I'm Hai Ling's Hai Ling...?"

“I will! Hmph, but you can’t mind! This is my right as Toyokawa Ningko.”

"Is this so..."

Su Shi looked at the night sky and, unusually, managed to spot a few scattered stars in the pitch-black canvas.

The sky was completely naked, just like the body beneath Toyokawa Ningko's clothes.

"That's all for now, thank you, Ningzi... It's been a long time since anyone has talked to me this much..."

"That's because everyone is just a nobody living their own nobody life. Only the great Toyokawa Ningko would ignore the other nobodys and take you, a nobody, around to cause trouble."

"Thank you."

Su Shi was exhausted; riding her bike nearly killed her.

My legs were also numb, but that was because Toyokawa Ningko was lying on top of me, so even if they were numb to the point of amputation, it wouldn't matter.

"Thank you, Ningzi... really, thank you so much... for so long... for so long..."

"Don't cry. What, your dream has come true? That's truly pathetic."

Ningzi stood with her back to the moon, which had been the subject of human imagination for thousands of years, becoming nothing more than a backdrop behind her.

"Today, I've done you a favor. I've answered all the questions I owed you. How about it, are you satisfied?"

"I'm very satisfied, thank you..."

"You're so long-winded. You've said thank you so many times... I bet your next sentence will be 'I'm sorry,' right?"

"I'm so sorry... Ah, how did Xiaoning guess that?"

"You're just a nobody. It's all just polite talk. It just means you're not really familiar with me yet."

"Does it feel so familiar...? It feels so distant."

The heaviness in her eyelids had become unbearable. Nagasaki Motoyo felt like seaweed floating on the ocean, with nowhere in mind and no particular sadness.

It doesn't matter anymore.

There's no hope for the future anymore.

Motoyo Nagasaki's last wish in her life has been fulfilled today.

Although Crychic seems to be completely dead.

But at least she still has Toyokawa Ningko... a Xiangzi even more Xiangzi than Xiangzi, a Xiangzi who will treat her well.

"Later, I mean later!"

The black seawater submerged Ningzi's toes. The feeling of being soaked in seawater was extremely unpleasant, because the thought of how many lives had been lost in it filled her with inexplicable sadness.

"After you get married, bring your wife to my house. I'll cook a huge feast, pour you cheap beer, and you'll politely tell me you drove here. Then our kids will become childhood sweethearts, fall in love, and then cheat on each other... cough cough. After a pleasant dinner, I'll drive you home, bringing homemade sandwiches with my favorite mango slices—pickled or unpickled? It's such a dilemma... Anyway, we'll say goodbye in the car. You'll let your wife and daughters go first, then come with me..."

"Stealing a moment of pleasure?" Ningzi originally wanted to say that, but then she thought it didn't sound very elegant.

"You will say goodbye to me, and I will say to you: Hey, try to be happy? We might die tomorrow."

"How about it! What I'm saying about our life together after we get to know each other... isn't it absolutely amazing?"

"How wonderful..."

Su Shi brushed the sand off her arms and sat down to look at Ning Zi in the sea, a bright smile appearing on her face just like Ning Zi's.

Unfortunately, according to Ningzi's words just now, they are just friends.

But that's normal, it's not surprising...

"I thought Su Shi was like a mother, but tonight it seems that in front of the great Toyokawa Ningko, you are just a small and cute little daughter."

"That's because Xiao Ning talked too much... she didn't give me a chance to show my skills. But am I being rude?"

"What's wrong? Where have I been impolite?"

While asking the question, she was still backing away. Ningzi's mid-thighs were already swallowed by the waves, but she didn't care at all.

"I feel like I've said a lot of things I shouldn't have, and my image is probably beyond repair..."

image?

Do you, Nagasaki Motoyo, still have any image to speak of?

"Pfft, when you knelt down twice, did you consider what kind of image you would project?"

"..."

Su Shi collapsed again. The tide had already begun to rise, and she could feel the water engulfing her hair.

Just like that day… Xiao… I don’t know if it was Ningzi or Xiangzi who poured coffee over her head…

That coffee cup is still a prized possession of the Nagasaki Soseki family.

"Really."

Ningzi suddenly didn't want to push Su Shi away and let her return to the circle of normal humans anymore. She found that letting this little fish stick to her seemed to be a very interesting thing.

From now on, I can take Su Shi out shopping, which will reduce Mu's stress by half.

"Are you very sleepy? I have a way to wake you up..."

"What can we do?"

"Our story is still too simple. If it ends here today, it would be too trivial."

"Huh? That was exciting enough... Xiao Ning... Shall we go home now..."

"No. Isn't it missing a touch of fantasy? I think I have a way to make you never forget [Ningzi]."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

“Like this, Su Shi, watch carefully. From now on, you will always be able to tell who Ning Zi is.”

puff-

Toyokawa Ningko fell backward and plunged into the sea.

Chapter 181. Finally, Su Shi refused to run away.

The sea...it's so dark.

What was my sister thinking when she stood on the beach back then?

Will she be thinking about how to describe the scenery to her sister when she gets back?

The seawater was very dark, but surprisingly not scary at all.

Dying here is the cleanest thing to do.

If someone tells you that the moment of falling is the most unsettling, they are definitely lying.

Toyokawa Ningko's experience of falling into the water multiple times taught her that she only felt uneasy after the fall.

On the contrary, the period before that was the most reassuring.

Because my mind is completely blank, I can't think of anything.

"Please come and save me, Nagasaki Motoyo..."

I knew you would come…

Let me tell you a story you'll never forget. If you're scared and run away, that would be best. If not... I've already given you three chances...

The obsession runs too deep. Even a child like Nagasaki Motoyo, who lacks love, can have her own savior.

The sea is greater than the lake, and it is also more ruthless. The black liquid poured into Toyokawa Ningko's mouth. She did not resist, but instead welcomed the ocean's arrival on her delicate body.

Overwhelm me, make me suffer as much as possible...

Because the more someone cares about me, the more upset I am, and the more upset she is... For example, Nagasaki Motoyo, who is already in front of me.

As expected, Su Shi…

I made the right bet.

You really did come—

Then come, embrace your destined fate... poor child.

I will give you tenderness and affection, and in return, I will drain and siphon your emotions dry…

You asked for it.

From the very beginning, you brought this upon yourself.

Ugh, thinking about it now, I still feel like I'm crazy.

However, Su Shi was also quite ill.

Two mentally ill people.

……

"Xiao Ning!"

Su Shi's movements as she plunged into the sea were clumsy; this was the first time she had clearly realized the strength of her physical abilities.
