Create MYGO second creation, but make them cry

Page 203

As Riki watched all this, his face grew paler and paler. Banami quickly said, "Why don't you rest for a bit? I'm a little tired."

"Hey, I've only just gotten into it. It's rare for my hands to be so hot today," Ai Yin said, seemingly a little dissatisfied.

Despite usually being the first to complain of being tired, Ai-yin, who was then teased by Li-xi for "being the one who should be practicing the most," actually seemed quite reluctant to leave.

"It's okay, let's rest for a bit first. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

After Maki finished speaking, she stood up and said in a calm tone, "Maki-nee, why don't you come with me to buy drinks?"

You must have something to say to me, right?

Riki remained silent and walked out with Maki, gesturing to Banami not to follow.

Only the two sisters could speak their deepest thoughts, just like last time.

Li hope said in a calm tone, "Why don't you practice a little, Xiangzi? Otherwise your keyboard skills will get rusty."

No one else noticed anything unusual about the sisters, except for Takamatsu Akari, who looked at their backs and tilted her head slightly.

When they arrived at the vending machine, Maki leaned against the wall and said with a smile, "Hey, Riki, what do you think of my compatibility with Kodama and Aine? I think even if I have to replace you in the future, no one will notice anything unusual."

"When exactly did you start practicing the drums? You're usually so busy..." Li hope said, suppressing her voice.

Her surprise stemmed from the fact that she knew better than anyone just how busy Maki was during the day.

Whether it's studying, the disciplinary committee, or the brass band, all of these things already make it difficult for a high school girl to be in two places at once. Yet, her drumming skills are so proficient that they even seem to surpass her own when she's focused on practicing a single instrument.

“Of course… while you’re sleeping,” Maki said with a smile.

Li hope's eyes widened slightly: "Impossible, that would be..."

Living under the same roof, she would surely know.

"It's just practicing with drumsticks, or you can move your homework to the evening and find time to practice during the day. The only cost is that it takes away from your exercise and sleep time," Maki said with a smile.

Therefore, Maki's body is weaker than that of the average high school girl. Even though playing the drums and trumpet requires physical strength, she sleeps much less than normal people.

Why... why did you have to go this far? Do you hate me that much, Shiina Maki?

"Don't think you can hurt me like this. Even if you take away my MYGO membership, I won't be swayed by your little tricks."

Even so, Xiangzi told the members of MYGO that his drumming skills were not as good as his sister's.

Surprisingly, she wasn't as sad as she had imagined.

Maki chuckled and said, "As expected, Riki is different after finding a new host."

Although her sister's words were very harsh, Lixi did not refute them because what she said was true. It was because she knew that Banami was supporting her that Lixi did not break down even after what happened today.

"Say what you will, do you think you can take Hanami away from me?"

This was the first time Lixi had fought back in this conversation.

This reflects Lixi's confidence in boys.

"Lixi, do you really not understand, or are you pretending not to understand?" Suddenly, Zhenxi said somewhat out of the blue.

"What...are you saying?" Li hope asked, slightly frowning.

What she hated most was Maki's pretentious manner.

Maki smiled, picked up a few bottles of drinks, and said, "Do you know what the biggest difference is between a parasite and a host?"

"Just say what you have to say!" Li hope couldn't help but shout.

But Maki turned around and slowly walked back to the front of the practice room. Riki quickly followed, but heard Maki say, "Look."

Then, Lixi looked into the practice room.

Xiangzi seemed to hear Lixi's words and her hands started itching to play the keyboard. However, she didn't practice with the others from MYGO, but instead... played a guitar duet with Banami.

Shoko, swaying gently as she played the keyboard, seemed somewhat absorbed, her lips lightly touching in a slightly alluring manner. Meanwhile, Banami's guitar playing also exuded a different kind of energy than usual.

Their duet sounded even better than Maki and MYGO's duet earlier.

Li hope stared blankly at the scene, then said, "Dodder can only ever cling to the branches of its host, but only towering trees of its own kind can see scenery at the same height as it."

At this moment, Lixi felt even more bitter than when she saw her sister playing the duet with Xiaodeng and the others.

In Lixi's mind, the voice recorder she had seen that morning floated into her head, along with the question hidden deep within her heart that she hadn't dared to ask.

I love you, Banana. Who is your favorite person?

"Hey, Maki-senpai is leaving already? Why did Hanami leave with her too?" Aine asked curiously.

Maki didn't show her usual gentle smile in front of them; she was only thinking about what Riki, who had already left, was thinking in her heart.

But at that moment, he saw the cute little animal blink its eyes and look at him.

"What's wrong, Akari?" Maki didn't dislike Akari Takamatsu; on the contrary, she liked her quite a bit. After all, who doesn't like harmless animals?

However, she naturally didn't look up to the lamp with the same reverence that Li hope had for it.

“Lixi, classmate…” Xiaodeng seemed a little hesitant.

"What's wrong? You can tell me anything." Maki imitated her sister's tone, but spoke even more gently.

"Could you... go back to your old drumming style?" But Gao Songdeng's words made her feel very strange.

"Why? Am I not playing well right now?" Her smile became slightly stiff.

But Gao Songdeng gently shook his head: "No...no, Li Xi is playing very well now, but...I still prefer Li Xi's old style, that fiery, burning-out style, I...I really like it."

Hearing Koden's words, Maki clenched her fist slightly under the table.

You already have what I've been longing for but never had, don't you?

Chapter Fifty-Seven: A Bad Ending Has Its Own Meaning

"Lixi?!" Banai exclaimed upon seeing this, then pulled the girl, who was running with her head down, into her arms.

The next moment, a high-performance car sped past the traffic light, making a sharp sound.

This immediately made Banami break out in a cold sweat, and she couldn't help but scold, "Why are you running away? You know yourself what Shiina Maki just told you, she was just putting on an act for you today, didn't she?"

Xiaodeng and Aine had no idea that the person standing in front of them, Lixi, had been replaced.

Your sister is naturally good at acting, why bother...

Just when Banami thought this was the reason why Riki lost his composure, Riki gently raised his head in his arms, his eyes already filled with tears. It seemed that he had indeed been successfully defeated by Maki.

She shook her head, as if to tell Hanami that she wasn't crying because her MYGO teammates didn't recognize her.

Her sister's actions were within her expectations. Although she was sad, she wouldn't have thought of running away like this.

Banai was taken aback for a moment and said, "Why is that? Could it be because of my duet with Mr. Daisho? But we usually..."

The next moment, Li hope gently pushed the boy away and said in a slightly sorrowful voice, "Hanami, my sister once described me to you as a dodder, right?"

Seeing that her sister was just trying to hurt you, Banai paused for a moment and then gently comforted her, "Your sister is just trying to discourage you, why bother about what she says?"

Ke Lixi shook her head again and said, "But actually, my sister is right. I really am a dodder, just a parasitic plant. When I encounter difficulties, I think about escaping and want to rely on others, whether it's my sister, Xiaodeng, or now, Banaijian..."

Banai fell silent for a moment, then said, "But so what? Everyone has a different personality, and you have yours too..."

"But Banami, your type isn't the kind of girl who likes to depend on others, is it?" Riki smiled, tears welling in her eyes.

Just as Banami was thinking about how to answer without hurting Riki, Riki took something out of his pocket, making Banami's eyes widen in surprise.

That was the voice recorder he kept at home.

Li hope laughed through her tears, "This is what I secretly took from home during class at noon. I just turned it on. If I press play now, I should be able to hear your true feelings, Banami, and who you really like, right?"

Banami never expected that Riki would go to such lengths. The person she truly loved in her heart suddenly revealed a hint of bewilderment in Banami's eyes.

"But...but, Banami, the answer is right in front of me, but I don't have the courage to press this button."

Lixi's fingers trembled slightly as she placed them on the voice recorder, indicating an internal struggle. In the end, she slowly lowered her trembling fingers.

Lixi looked up, her face unusually sad: "See? This is what my sister called dodder. If it were my sister, if it were Xiaodeng, if it were Banai, you would definitely have the courage to hear this answer."

Lixi took a deep breath and said, "The worst thing a dodder should do is to actually fall in love with its host, because then the dodder will understand more and more that it can only look up at the sun above the host and cannot grow towards the sun like its kind."

"At first, I just thought that it didn't matter who Banami liked, as long as I could rely on you, Banami. We said it was a secret relationship. But dodder is the most vicious and greedy plant. Before it parasitizes, it can survive with just a little water and sunlight. But once it parasitizes a big tree, it will frantically absorb the host's nutrients and even try to take over everything of it."

"I didn't know myself. I was so greedy. Oh well, it's normal to be unfamiliar with myself since it's my first time parasitizing."

Li hope smiled somewhat sadly. Human eyes are located in the front, so people can often see others clearly, but not themselves.

As a parasitic dodder, Riki was rejected by her older sister and Kodama, but Banami was the first person she truly became a parasite on.

It's only natural to crave more warmth, and it's also normal to want him to look at you more.

Just like she used to say that she only wanted to be by Xiaodeng's side, but if Xiaodeng really accepted her, she would probably want everything from Xiaodeng.

However, at that moment, an unexpected voice appeared.

"Even with such greed, when the dodder really wants to continue to grow stronger, it doesn't dare to climb any higher. It can only linger on the trunk, not daring to become one of the big trees. It is both greedy and cowardly, and doesn't even have the courage to listen to the answer in the voice player."

Maki's figure slowly appeared in front of the two of them, and then she said to Hanami, "See, Hanami, you've been going in the wrong direction all along. You always thought that if you could untie the knot in my heart, our bodies could be switched back."

Is it possible that the Shiina sisters are both equally inferior?

Lixi's eyes widened slightly as she asked, "Why are you... here, Maki?"

"It was me who called him over." However, to Riki's surprise, this answer came from Banami.

She looked at the other person with some surprise, and then saw the serious expression on Banami's face.

“I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how to resolve the conflict between you two sisters.”

"Maki wants to pursue true love that is even stronger than blood ties, while Riki, you habitually like to escape to other people and lack the courage to face things alone."

Let me be blunt: what you're pursuing is a castle in the air.

The two sisters were slightly taken aback by Banami's answer. Then Banami said to Maki, "Love is about giving and receiving. Love should be equal. Miss Maki, love that never changes under any circumstances is abnormal and only exists in fantasy."

Maki wasn't surprised by the answer, but said softly, "But I can only live by pursuing this fantasy. Otherwise, what is the meaning of my existence?"

That was determined by Maki's upbringing. Even though she understood that the love she was pursuing was abnormal, she still wanted it.

Banami nodded gently. She understood the other person's experience, so she did not blame her. Then, she turned to her sister and said, "And Riki, your dependence on me is just as abnormal. The reason we started dating was abnormal, so if we continue, it will only become more twisted."

"I know, I know, but I!" Li hope wanted to say something, but was gently interrupted by Banami.

"But you don't have the courage, do you?"

Li hope paused slightly, looking at the boy.

Then he smiled and said to the two sisters, "To be honest, if this continues, the three of us will only head towards a worse and worse ending."

Neither Riki nor Maki denied this answer.

"But I think bad endings also have their significance. It is precisely because people have witnessed the bad ending of the story that they sincerely hope for a happy ending."

The two girls didn't understand why Banami was telling them all this.

After saying that, Banami gently opened the system's shop and redeemed the Miaomiao item that she had already set her sights on.

For some time now, he has been thinking about how to prevent the two sisters from ending up in the worst possible situation.

Whether they let Riki's parasitic tendrils continue to grow, or they pursue deformed objects with Maki, it will only make the sisters' future worse.

Then, Banami thought of the urge she had to reach the true end every time she encountered a bad end in a visual novel.

He held up something that looked like a Rubik's Cube and showed it to the two girls.

Product Name: Future Simulator

※Effect: In this simulation, the host will have no control. The system will simulate the future ending of the story based on the participants' personalities. It is not unreasonable for the host and participants to regard it as the future ending in reality.

※Note: Due to the host's customization, the system will amplify the participant's personality flaws when calculating the future, leading to a tragic ending. Please be prepared mentally. This item is designed to help participants avoid bad endings in reality.

Holding the Rubik's Cube in her hand, Banami said softly, "Come on, Maki, Riki, let's see what the end of what you're each pursuing will be."

Chapter Fifty-Eight Sleeping Beauty

"Hanami-kun, Riki, congratulations on your engagement."

Mrs. Shiina's slightly aged face showed a look of relief.

"Hmph, you're already twenty-five and only just got engaged, even though you've been living together for so long, and you still have the nerve to say that."

Mr. Shiina, whose face also appeared somewhat aged, seemed to express slight dissatisfaction as he spoke.

As the son-in-law, Yana Miyu gave a wry smile, but did not argue. However, his fiancée, Riki, seemed to find it unbearable and said, "There's nothing we can do about it. After all, MYGO needs time to commercialize, so they don't have time to worry about their own affairs."
