I wanted to be a bad actor in the anime, but I failed.

Night, Mulin’s house.

"Barbecue is coming~~"

Sanbashi and Ito, who were laughing so hard on the way, smiled brightly when they entered the Kirin family.

"how?"

“It’s so funny, hahahahahahahaha!”

Ito handed the phone to Mu Lin.

The latter looked through the video above and smiled slightly.

"Ok, good job, but where did this barbecue come from?"

"Hehe! Thanks to Mr. Sanqiao's improvisation, I was able to get that bastard to treat us to a barbecue!"

"Yeah, treating your enemy to a barbecue is hilarious! Come on! Let's take a picture together first!"

The three of them gathered together, around the barbecue, making faces, laughing, or making "yeah" gestures, and then took several photos.

"Ok, this barbecue, boss, you should eat it while it's hot!"

"Okay, I'll go get Nitro to come eat too."

Mu Lin got up and walked towards the corridor, and saw Gaozi squatting in front of the cat cage.

"Meow~meow~"

This lovely sound is made by glass.

She was squatting on the ground, wearing a hearing aid. She put her hand behind her ear and put her ear close to the cat cage, listening to the black cat's meow.

For some reason, Mu Lin felt that the black cat's cry was a little different from its usual fierce cry.

And sometimes, Glass would cover her mouth and laugh.

It felt like she was having a conversation with a black cat.

Mu Lin stepped forward.

As if they had telepathic connection, Glass looked back with a smile, quickly stood up, and signed:

"Mulin, what's the matter?"

"Were you just chatting with this black cat?"

"No, I'm just trying to build some affection and bark with it."

"Is it possible to cultivate feelings this way?"

"Uh-huh."

"So cute." Mu Lin praised generously.

Nitro's face turned red: "Then let's go eat barbecue!"

"Ah."

After agreeing, Mu Lin went to the cat cage under Gaozi's puzzled gaze.

Suddenly, the black cat saw its enemy and its fur stood up, its eyes wide open.

"Meow!!!"

The sharp cry was a bit harsh.

Well, now it is confirmed that the black cat's call to Glass is a little different.

Mu Lin nodded.

"Let's go, Nitro."

"Ah."

Nishimiya Glass followed Mu Lin obediently and came to the living room.

After saying hello to Sanbashi and Ito, she ate barbecue with Mu Lin.

At this time.

Ito suddenly said, "Oh, right! This barbecue also includes Sister Hui's portion. Boss, go call Sister Hui over as well!"

Mu Lin paused, thought of something, and said helplessly, "Forget it."

"Huh? Did something happen?" Ito asked puzzledly.

Sanbashi narrowed his eyes, glanced at Nishiko, and gave a wicked smile.

Hehe! It seems that this bastard boss is two-timing, which made Sister Hui angry, right?

Live it!

Mu Lin, who was very sensitive to malicious intent, said calmly:

"Sanqiao, are you thinking about something bad?"

"No! Absolutely not!" Sanqiao shook his head and waved his hands frantically.

"Then it seems that you have it. Tell me, how do you want to die?"

"I am so sorry!!"

Sanqiao bowed and apologized, and was finally forgiven by Mu Lin.

Nishimiya Naoko, who was eating barbecue, curiously wrote in her notebook:

【What were you talking about just now? 】

Mu Lin replied in sign language: "Nothing."

But Nishimiya Glass ignored Mu Lin and handed the notebook to Ito.

After reading it, Ito wrote on it: [Glass, why doesn't the boss want to ask Sister Hui to come for barbecue? ]

Nishimiya Glass picked it up and took a look, her smiling expression paused.

She thought about the time when Kato Megumi came home without having dinner on Monday.

The guilt and apology that had just subsided rose again.

With her eyelids drooping, she pretended to smile and said to Mu Lin in sign language:

"Mulin, ask Hui to come and eat barbecue!"

"Ok."

Mu Lin could only smile in response, then got up and walked towards his neighbor's house.

After he left.

Sanqiao was wandering around the house with a sneaky look in his eyes. Then he saw Mulin's game console in the bedroom. He picked it up and started playing with great joy.

And in the living room.

Naoko stopped eating barbecue and started communicating with Ito with her notebook.

[Ito, how are you and Mihashi doing lately? ]

Ito picked up the notebook and wrote: [Hey, I'm fine. I just feel a little pain after being discharged from the hospital.]

Glass frowned: [Discharged? What happened? ]

[We were retaliated by that damned Nanyun group! But it’s okay now, the boss also helped us get revenge! ]

This sentence contains a lot of information.

Nishimiya Naoko had a bad feeling.

She lowered her head, holding the notebook.

It occurred to me that last Sunday, Mu Lin clearly said that he would go to a classmate's house and come back in the evening, but suddenly another thing happened, so she had to wait at home until late at night and he still hadn't come back. She didn't know when he came back until she fell asleep.

No, this is the time to take revenge, right?

and.

Nanyun...group?

Nanyun...Hisaeo?

At that time, Nozomi, who was expelled from school, of course understood the reason for her expulsion. She also learned at that time that the person that Mihashi and Ito beat was called Hisao Nagumo.

That explains it.

In order to avenge Hisao Nanyun, the Nanyun Group sent Ito and even Mihashi to the hospital?

Mu Lin is still risking his life to seek revenge?

But she herself left Chiba County early, hid here, and lived a life where she only had to cook?

all of a sudden.

There is an indescribable feeling of discomfort in my heart.

Not only did she cause Kato Megumi and Mu Lin to become estranged, she also injured Sanbashi and Ito, and put Mu Lin in danger. Moreover, the Nanyun Group is a gangster organization, so he might be retaliated against and injured in the future, or even his life would be in danger!

The cicadas outside the window are particularly noisy!

The night came in through the window and swallowed up the glass.

It's all because of me!

As she had suffered from depression before, she naturally blamed herself for everything.

The guilt and regret that had been buried deep in my heart surged up into my heart.

Like the tide.

At this moment, a palm came over.

It was written in a crooked way:

[What's wrong? Glass? ]

Nishimiya Naoko didn't look up, but shook her head, raised her left hand in the air, quickly wrote a sentence with her right hand, and ran to the toilet.

Only confused Ito was left, holding the notebook.

【I need to go to the toilet! 】

"boom!"

The toilet door was closed.

Nishimiya Naoko leaned against the door, curled up on the ground.

She wiped her wet face with her wet left sleeve, then stood up and looked at her disheveled self through the mirror.

Soft flaxen hair and a chubby face with water stains.

Small nose and thin lips.

So quiet and cute.

But under those long eyelashes were a pair of brown eyes that looked like they were crying.

Under the tears that reflected the strange light, there was a very strange gray color in the pupils.

That is the gray called depression that appeared a long time ago.

Do I really deserve to be liked?

Baka, it’s not worth it!

Don't you see it?

The three words "I am guilty" were clearly written on my face.

It's all because of me.

My father abandoned my mother, and she worked so hard to support our family, but this gentle girl became dull and strict.

My sister didn’t have the childhood that a normal person should have in order to protect me.

My grandma has aged a lot because of me.

just now.

I am so arrogant.

I actually tried to think that I deserved a safe haven and laughed in a safe and warm cradle.

I don't deserve it at all.

Don't deserve him!

"Woo!"

Thinking of this, Nishimiya Naoko felt so choked up that she could hardly breathe and let out a low cry.

But negative thoughts still flow like a flood.

Because of my arrogance, because I tried to contaminate the world that did not belong to me.

I got someone hurt again.

Hui distanced himself from him because of me.

It turns out that she was tolerating me, letting a disabled person like me! Such a useless person! Such a person who influences others live under an umbrella that should not belong to me while being carried away by my own pride!

There is also the matter of Mu Lin being wrongly accused on the Internet.

And he, Ito, and Mihashi, also provoked the Nanyun Group because of me, and were retaliated against and sent to the hospital.

And until now.

He never complained and protected me silently.

“Tick-tock…”

Before I knew it, the tears had already flowed down my chin and dripped onto the sink.

Nishimiya Glass stared blankly at the strange face with an "X" drawn on it on the mirror.

The whole world is glorious, and there is no "X" in the whole world.

Only she is gray, only she is crossed out.

Maybe.

She really doesn't need to exist in this world.
