Hearing the sound of someone closing the door, Miao Meng slowly woke up. She glanced at her watch, still a little groggy, and realized it was almost dinnertime.
She got up somewhat lazily, looked out the window at the still gloomy fog, and her mood didn't improve.
The sound of the door closing just now... that must be the couple next door singing "Ave Mujica" coming back.
So what exactly does Ave Mujica mean? Miao Mengqin was a little curious, but remembering what Kanako had said, she was too lazy to contact the other party again.
She put on her shoes and left the room. As she closed the door, she looked at the closed door next door and thought, "There's going to be a lot of fighting here soon." Miaomeng decided to avoid seeing it and not wanting to get involved.
When she got downstairs, she found Kanako standing there in a daze. Curious, she walked over, waved in front of Kanako, and said, "Hey, snap out of it! Did your boyfriend dump you?"
"Hmph, you're the one who got dumped by a man," Kanako retorted instinctively.
As a result... it hurt Miaomeng badly, and her tongue immediately tasted bitter.
Kanako had no idea what was going on, and just exclaimed, "Hey, you know what? Your neighbor Shana came back just now, and I told her to keep her voice down with her boyfriend tonight. Guess what? Her whole face turned red."
At that time, I thought, wow, girls can be so cute.
"How wonderful! Yuuji is tall and handsome, and he can play the guitar. Shana is so cute, and they can even perform to earn money for their travels. This is what they call a perfect couple."
Kanako looked somewhat envious.
Suddenly, a memory flashed through Miaomeng's mind: she had once stood below the stage, looking up at the boy standing on it.
Her feelings were probably similar to those of Kanako right now.
But she quickly shook her head inwardly; it was just a fan-made creation, not reality, not...reality.
After exchanging a few words with Kanako to hide her disappointment, Meowmeng walked out of the hotel, a cool, damp breeze blowing by.
She wondered if, among all the girls who had gone through the creative process, she was the only one who still couldn't truly return to reality from it.
She instinctively gripped the ring in her pocket.
After the little incident, Miaomeng lost her appetite and just looked at the misty Osaka Bay from the road across the sea.
But then, she glanced into the distance and saw a figure that seemed somewhat familiar.
Chapter Fourteen: I Saw Ghosts with My Left Eye
When Yutenji Wakana saw that figure in the mist, her body seemed to be out of control, and she subconsciously began to chase after it.
At this moment, Yutenji Wakana forgot that the boy's favorite person was not her.
He also forgot that he had already taken Toyokawa Shoko to the ends of the earth.
She forgot many things, or rather, deliberately avoided thinking about many things; all she wanted was to see him.
I really, really want to see him.
Regardless of whose boyfriend he is now.
She didn't even notice when her high heels came off while she was chasing after them. Her once white feet were constantly covered in mud and sand, and sharp pebbles scratched at her, leaving little marks.
But at this moment, Miaomeng couldn't care less about anything else; she was just desperately chasing after the other person.
Just like Ruomai in the fan creation, no matter how many times she is forgotten, she will never give up on the other person.
Finally, Yutenji Wakana arrived behind her and called out, "Yu!"
Then, the boy in front paused for a moment, seemingly hesitant, and turned around.
But when Ruomai saw his appearance, she even felt a sense of despair.
"Who are you? Do I know you?" the unfamiliar-looking boy asked in a puzzled voice.
It wasn't him... Although his back and build were similar, it wasn't the boy in her heart.
Just then, a girl approached the boy in front of her and asked somewhat warily, "Zhe, who is this woman?"
"I don't know her, I don't know her," the boy shook his head vigorously at his girlfriend.
"Let's go." The girl took the boy's hand and left.
But Yutenji Wakami could only stand there, unable to do anything.
Has her longing become so intense that it's causing her to hallucinate?
Had her desire to see him unknowingly grown to this point?
"So, I'm such a sentimental fool?" Miao Meng said in a slightly trembling voice, as if mocking herself.
Looking at the neon-lit commercial street not far away, Ruomai no longer had the same mood as before.
Instead, the beach and sea that ran down the road were more appealing to her.
Without her high heels, her feet, already somewhat dirty, sank into the damp sand, and the girl's face turned pale.
Ruomai shouted at the endless, dark sea, "Hey, are you okay now?"
But at this moment, the sea didn't even offer her an echo.
She put her hands to her mouth and continued shouting, "I'm fine now!"
Tears streamed down my face without my noticing. Before I got home yesterday, I was just feeling a little down.
But the closer she got to her hometown, the more devastated she became.
Ruomai means as strong as wheat.
But I don't like that. It would be too hard on Ruomai.
She remembered what the boy had once told her: whether in his "dreams" or in reality, the person he loved most was Toyokawa Shoko.
Thinking of this, Ruomai subconsciously took out the ring with "SAKI" written on it from her pocket.
It was the only thing she brought from her dream to reality. It was because of this ring that she was able to persist and even deliberately make things difficult for that girl.
Look at me, Xi, look at me more!
She cried out bitterly in her heart, but it was no use.
In the end, the two of them still headed towards the ending she didn't want to see.
Thinking of this, a hint of anger seemed to well up in her heart.
"Hanami what, Hanami what..."
She gripped the ring and swung it violently, trying to throw the ring, engraved with her rival's name, into the boundless sea.
What's so special about this kind of thing that's worth cherishing?
Yutenji Wakana has never been a clingy girl!
She breathed heavily, and her outstretched right hand fell limply to her side.
Finally, she slowly raised her right hand, which was still tightly clenched. When she released it, the silver ring was still in her palm, as if it were some precious treasure.
She laughed and cried, unable to control herself.

Banami finally found a convenience store on the nearby shopping street and bought some condoms. But as he walked back, the fog on the street began to thicken again. He couldn't help but feel a little fascinated, as if he were in a movie.
I had originally intended to stay a little longer, but the thought of leaving Xiangzi alone in the hotel made me uneasy.
It's definitely not because he's impatient. Ah, Saki-chan's body is just so amazing, I'm completely obsessed.
But as he was traveling along the coastal road, he inexplicably heard a strange wailing sound.
It was like resentment and longing, like weeping and lamenting.
Especially with the thick fog that made it almost impossible to see anyone, the atmosphere became eerie.
Not long after, Banami vaguely saw a white figure on the other side of the beach in the mist.
At that moment, goosebumps rose all over his body, and all the impressions of female ghosts he had had since childhood suddenly came flooding back.
"Oh my god!" he yelled and ran away as fast as he could.
Everyone says that strange things often appear along the coast at night. Banami didn't believe it at first, but now she was really scared.
Especially considering this guy is tall and big, he's been terrified of ghosts since he was a child. After watching a horror movie, he's too scared to even go to the bathroom at night and has to hold it in until dawn.
Moreover, he saw the "female ghost" seem to turn around and glance at him, so he immediately ran away as fast as he could.
When he rushed back to the hotel and saw Xiangzi in his room, Banami finally felt relieved. Teacher Xiangzi had a lot of yang energy and could definitely suppress these strange things.
"Why are you all sweaty? Are you in such a hurry? Go wash up." Xiangzi didn't know whether to be annoyed or amused.
"No, Xiangzi, I'm telling you, I... I just encountered a ghost at the beach... Her crying... sounded so pitiful." Banami's voice trembled slightly.
Xiangzi frowned slightly and said, "Nonsense, there are no ghosts in this world."
See? He said that Teacher Da Xiang is quite powerful and has a lot of yang energy.
"I'm telling the truth. I was so scared that I ran back as fast as I could," Banami retorted.
"Yes, yes, yes, there's a ghost, there's a ghost." But Xiangzi didn't care at all.
Xiangzi seemed to remember something and said, "Hey, Xi, could it be that someone is trying to commit suicide?"
Banami paused for a moment, then said, "Should I go take another look?"
Compared to a female ghost, it's more reasonable for a girl to be unable to accept her fate and want to commit suicide; he was just too scared to believe it.
"Go on, go on. Do you need me to come with you, you coward?" Xiangzi said with a smile.
After thinking for a moment, Banami said seriously, "No need. You pack your things here. If someone really tries to commit suicide, I'll save her and then we'll leave immediately."
Xiangzi paused for a moment, seemingly understanding something. In fact, they shouldn't meddle in other people's business at a time like this. If someone were to commit suicide, it would attract the attention of the police, greatly increasing the chances of their identities being exposed.
He was just a moment ago timid as a chicken, but in the blink of an eye, he became so "manly".
But... perhaps it was precisely because of this kind of personality that Toyokawa Shoko was willing to "marry down" without hesitation.
Chapter Fifteen: Irreconcilable Enemies
Miao Meng was puzzled when she realized that she had frightened passersby by crying in the thick fog.
No, I'm just here grieving by myself. What did I do to bother or offend you?
Is it that scary? Where did this idiot come from?
Unfortunately, before Miaomeng could get a clear look at the other party, the guy ran away with a strange cry, startling Miaomeng.
This prevented Miaomeng from wallowing in self-pity. Especially now, with the thick fog making it almost impossible to see anything, it was a bit creepy. So, Miaomeng wiped away her tears, put her high heels back on, and headed back.
Or perhaps after crying, she released some of her emotions and started to feel hungry. She found a ramen shop not far from the hotel to fill her stomach before returning to her hotel room.
I had just lay down on the bed when I heard a slightly familiar singing voice coming from next door.
*Ave Musica, the Masked People in Temptation (Fortuna)
*Ave Musica, leading to a world of peace (Lacrima)
*As long as you're willing to offer up your past (in this way)
*Whatever your wishes or desires
*Sic… will definitely make it happen for you.
*Ave Musica, continuously falling (Fortuna)
*Ave Musica, until the place of no return (Lacrima)
Miao Meng originally didn't intend to have any interaction with the band couple next to her, even though she was quite interested in the song "Ave Mujica".
But now her mood is fluctuating, especially when no one is talking to her, the feeling of loneliness is constantly eroding her.
She didn't know how to get through the night.
So, somewhat abruptly, I asked from the balcony, "Um, what does 'Ave Mujica' mean?"
Meanwhile, next door, Xiangzi, who was packing his luggage at his lover's behest, was perhaps feeling bored and unconsciously humming a song he had composed.
Despite having performed on stage countless times in the past few days, she still felt there were many shortcomings.
She was somewhat surprised to suddenly hear the voice of the girl on the next balcony.
"Sorry, did I disturb you?" Remembering what Kanako at the front desk had said, Xiangzi had misunderstood something.
Because she had been crying for a long time, Miao Meng, whose voice was a little hoarse, said with a smile, "No, to be honest, I quite like your songs... Miss Shana."
"How could you..." Suddenly, Xiangzi became somewhat wary.
"It was Kanako from the front desk who said it. I'm quite familiar with her. Your song is really great, and it's very similar to the thoughts of a friend of mine..." Miaomeng said softly.
