This feeling is strange; it doesn't even come to mind on its own.
"Xiao Mu... no, you are... Metis? Eh, I... how did I become Xiao Mu? Am I dreaming?"
Xiangzi raised his body, but the mirror not far away reflected Ruoye Mu's appearance.
“No, this isn’t a dream…” Xiangzi thought, “To launch a magnificent rebellion against the gods…” But isn’t that something only Su Shi can do?
"Metis, what on earth is going on?!" Xiangzi couldn't help but shout.
“That’s exactly it. You swapped bodies with Xiao Mu, and now Xiao Mu is inside your body. Besides, this isn’t the first time,” Metis shouted.
"Why didn't you wake me up before!" Xiangzi shouted.
In other words, the one inside her body now is Xiao Mu.
Remembering when Xiao Mu asked the golden retriever what a kiss was, the others made wild guesses, assuming that Ruoye Mu had a boyfriend, but now it seems...
Xiangzi's face turned ashen, but just as she was about to get out of bed, her hands and feet seemed to be out of her control, and she fell to the ground.
“It’s not that I don’t want to wake you up, but you’re simply not used to the situation of having two souls in one body. It’s too much of a mental burden for you, so you’ve been sleeping.”
It wasn't until this period of time passed and Xiangzi's mind gradually adapted to Ruoye Mutsu's body that Metis had the opportunity to wake her up.
Xiangzi paused for a moment, then said, "No wonder I've been feeling tired lately."
But when Xiangzi tried to stand up on her feet, she raised her hands instead.
"Huh...."
Then, when she tried to put her hands down, her legs suddenly straightened out.
And so, Xiangzi, using Wakaba Mutsu's body, very strangely, haphazardly moved his limbs on the ground.
"Huh...why is this happening?"
“I already told you, because Xiao Mu has to bear many personalities, her body is different from others,” Metis shouted impatiently.
"You didn't say that! Then why is Xiao Mu able to control herself so freely?!" Xiangzi asked.
“Because Xiao Mu is a genius!” Metis said, hands on his hips.
"Is this the time to say such things!?" Xiangzi was extremely anxious, thinking about how Xiaomu might be pinned down by Banami while she was rolling on the ground.
But the more anxious she became, the more her body twisted in strange directions.
Metis said impatiently, "Idiot, let me do it. Give me control of your body!"
"I understand the logic, but how can I give you control?"
Because Xiangzi is replacing the main personality of Ruoye Mutsu, she has the highest priority in terms of body control.
"Just... just a quick splat, and then my body is under my control!" Metis said, sounding very relaxed.
"Who would understand what you're saying!" Xiangzi shouted.
"Hurry up, if you don't go over there soon, don't let Xiao Mu do anything foolish again!"
"What did you say?"
"During this time, she has been hiding it from you, switching bodies with you, and then doing *that* with Banami Yu at night."
Metis shouted that Ruoye Mu's behavior had become increasingly strange lately, and he hadn't even tried to hide it from Metis. However, Metis was being suppressed by the main personality and couldn't get out at all.
Xiangzi's head buzzed; she even felt like she couldn't understand what Metis was saying at all.
But now, the most important thing is to control this body and run back to the Toyokawa family.
She fumbled around for a while before finally managing to stand up, but when she tried to run, she tripped and fell.
"Aaaaaaahhhhh..."
Xiangzi was on the verge of collapse. Her best friend was deceiving her husband and making love to him, while she was still here learning how to control her hands and feet.
Even though she needed to calm down, the images flashing through her mind made her feel like she was going crazy again.
"Toyokawa Shoko, you idiot, let me do it!"
"Ahhh, Metis, stop messing around! I'm almost done learning how to control it!"
The issue of the victim's feelings.
Chapter 53 Banami: Mutsumi, I'll make you a mother
"Hey, Wakaba Mutsu, why do you want to become a mother?"
Banami, who had been able to escape the room, stopped and looked at Wakaba Mutsumi, who was standing there with his head down.
He had a premonition that he would regret it if he went to find Xiangzi right now.
But when he asked that question, Wakaba Mutsu remained silent. After hesitating for a moment, Yagami slowly approached him. If Wakaba Mutsu were to grab him at this moment, Yagami would have no chance of escaping.
At that time, I could only obediently accept Little Cucumber's forced love, waaaaaah.
When Hanami came to stand in front of Wakaba Mutsu, she seemed somewhat surprised and looked up.
"Wakaba Mutsu, why do you want to become a mother?"
Mingming didn't even really understand the meaning of "sex," but Ruoye Mu seemed to have skipped many steps and developed a strange obsession with becoming a mother.
Moreover, the way Wakaba Mutsu looks now is more like the Wakaba Mutsu I know, rather than the cheerful Wakaba Mutsu who smiles and rejects everyone.
Looking at the boy, Wakaba Mutsu inexplicably felt a sense of security from him that she had only ever felt from Saki before.
Ruo Yemu's mind was filled with memories of their time alone together, the warmth of his lips, his wild body, and how he would hold her before bed and say strange things to her as she drifted off to sleep.
"We're out of cucumbers," Wakaba Mutsu said softly.
Banai was slightly taken aback. What did it mean that the cucumbers were gone?
However, compared to the beginning, under Takamatsu Akari's training, Banami has been able to keep up with the thinking of this type of eccentric girl.
I hate snow because it makes everyone feel bad.
This is what Wakaba Mutsu once said.
"Were you in the cucumber field in Moon Forest covered by snow?" Hanami asked curiously.
Wakaba Mutsu simply looked at the other person and continued, "SAKI, you don't need a childhood friend anymore."
Seeing that Banai remained silent, he said softly, "Because Xiangzi already has me by her side, right?"
Suddenly, it seemed that Banami was getting to know the other person's thoughts more and more.
What Wakaba Mutsu expressed here is not clear enough. Because of the identity exchange contract, Wakaba Mutsu and Shoko are no longer recognized as childhood sweethearts by other people in society (including Wakaba's parents).
Secondly, once Shoko had already found love with Hanami, the childhood sweetheart relationship that Wakaba Mutsu defined as a lifelong commitment was effectively over.
This isn't something that Xiangzi can solve by simply saying, "You're still my childhood sweetheart."
"Still" is meaningless. A difference of a minute, a second, or a moment means that for Wakaba Mutsu, they will no longer be childhood sweethearts for life.
Bana realized that she was trying to put herself in Wakaba Mutsu's shoes to understand her current situation.
The heavy snow crushed the cucumbers I had carefully cultivated.
Because of Hanami, Shoko is no longer the childhood friend that Wakaba Mutsumi idealized.
Even if the childhood sweetheart that Wakaba Mutsu imagined was just her illusion, and not the real Toyokawa Shoko.
However, the image of Xiangzi as a childhood sweetheart has been shattered in Xiao Mu's eyes.
More importantly...
"You want to become a mother, and that's also related to Minami Mori, right?" Hanami asked.
Wakaba Mutsu's body trembled slightly, and she whispered, "Minami, why did you give birth to me?"
If there truly were a mother in this world who didn't love her daughter at all, how would the daughter confirm her own existence?
What is the purpose of her existence?
From Wakaba Mutsumi's perspective, Hanami suddenly sensed an endless emptiness in the girl's pupils.
A constantly growing cucumber represents vibrant new life.
For Wakaba Mutsumi, it represented hope for life and reproduction.
Xiangzi's childhood sweetheart relationship serves as the coordinates that anchor her social identity.
All of this stemmed from the fear and jealousy that Motoi Wakaba's mother, Minami Mori, felt towards her daughter.
Unable to find the emotional fulfillment and place they should have received from their mother, they subconsciously sought substitutes from other things.
The next moment, Banai couldn't help but hug Wakaba Mutsu in his arms. He knew that his feelings for Wakaba Mutsu were not the same as his romantic feelings for Shoko, but his heart was overflowing with tenderness.
"Why are you holding me?" Wakaba Mutsu asked blankly.
“If we hug each other, at least we won’t be so cold, right?” Banami said.
Ruo Yemu remained silent, but did not refuse.
"So that cheerful demeanor you've been showing lately isn't some other personality; it's still you. It's just that the cheerful Wakaba Mutsumi is an act you're putting on, right?"
Throughout the entire story, Wakaba Mutsu only has two personalities: one is Metis, and the other is Wakaba Mutsu himself.
"Because...Mom will be happy, and it will also help Saki and everyone else, so no one will be troubled by me anymore..."
"But what about you? You clearly don't like doing those kinds of things, you don't like laughing, you don't like being away from Xiangzi, so where exactly is your own will?"
Hana interrupted Wakaba Mutsu angrily, shouting.
Then, Wakaba Mutsumi fell silent again, and Yagami said somewhat flusteredly, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have yelled at you like that..."
He was just feeling indignant on behalf of the other party. It was clearly not Ruoye Mu's fault, but she kept forcing herself for the sake of others.
Looking back now, I wonder how much pressure Mutsumi Wakaba was carrying inside, despite always playing the cheerful character she portrayed.
"It doesn't matter... because with you here, whenever I feel stressed, kissing you at night makes me feel better."
A kiss can make you happy.
Ruo Yemu's words were intermittent, but his tone was sincere and earnest.
If it were Wakaba Mutsu's own body, perhaps the two of them wouldn't have been able to form this wonderful bond.
Haki System, you bastard....
A warm feeling welled up inside Hanami, and she hugged him even tighter.
"So that's why you want to become a mother."
He finally understood the other person's thoughts completely, and the true meaning of Ruoye Mu's desire to become a mother.
She wanted to find the meaning of her existence, since Wakaba Mutsu, who had been rejected by her mother from the very beginning, could hardly find the meaning of "life".
Cucumbers won't do. Although cucumbers continue to reproduce, they are too fragile and can only serve as a temporary substitute for emotions.
Xiao Xiang is no good. She was originally Wakaba Mutsu's white moonlight, the one Wakaba Mutsu relied on for herself. But after Xiangzi's gaze fell on Banami, she could no longer be the one Xiao Mutsu could rely on for a lifetime.
Therefore, Mutsumi Wakaba wanted to procreate, wanted to become a mother, wanted to understand Minami's reasons for giving birth to her, and wanted to use her child to confirm that her life had value.
The true meaning of "Wakaba Mutsumi wants to become a mother"...
That was her way of saving herself when she was being swallowed by nothingness.
If this continues, Wakaba Mutsumi's sense of self, which no longer feels any meaning in its existence, will slowly disappear (die).
Having understood all this, Banami placed her hands on Wakaba Mutsumi's shoulders.
Although somewhat surprised, there was still an emptiness in Wakaba Mutsu's eyes.
“Wakaba Mutsu, I’ve come to make you a mother,” Yagami said.
Chapter 54 Wakaba Mutsu: I'm sorry, I couldn't finish knitting that scarf.
“Wakaba Mutsu, I’ve come to make you a mother,” Yagami said earnestly.
Ruoye Mu raised her head slightly, looking somewhat surprised.
Then, the boy said in a serious tone, "Let me be your son, so you can be your mother!"
Wakaba Mutsu's eyes widened in surprise. Banami becoming his...son? This statement was too shocking, and even with Wakaba Mutsu's limited moral compass, he subconsciously felt some resistance.
A love rival... cannot become mother and son.
As a result, Banami burst out laughing and said, "Just kidding. I only have one mother, Suze. If she knew that I was going around claiming mothers everywhere, she would be angry."
His tone was light and cheerful, causing Ruoye Mu to tilt her head slightly. It took her a beat to realize that she had been tricked, but she simply lowered her head gently.
