The pain from the rupa movement slightly cleared Chen's previously dizzy mind.
Chen's shouts crept into the minds of the blue-haired and black-haired girls from behind them.
The two paused slightly, but did not respond to the call from behind.
The next moment, Xiangzi's steps forward became even more determined.
While Chen may not have any major problems, Xiangzi and Xiaozhi are determined to teach Rencai a lesson she won't forget for her excessive behavior.
Just as he was about to reach Nina, Ash finally stopped.
The reason she was able to attack Xiangzi, who had harmed Chen, without hesitation last time was ultimately because she didn't recognize this person who had appeared out of nowhere.
Rencai's current situation isn't much better either.
She hesitated, but the blue-haired girl beside her didn't hesitate at all.
The blue-haired girl stood in front of Nina, the streetlight casting her shadow over Nina's body.
Her left hand grabbed Nina's bangs, ensuring she had the perfect conditions to unleash her next attack.
The same crisp sound reached the ears of everyone present.
After witnessing everything, Ash sighed deeply and turned to walk towards Rupa and Ms. Anwa.
The same red mark appeared in the same spot on Rencai's face.
Clutching his collar, Xiangzi slowly lifted the radish.
She had no interest in meeting the girl's stubborn blue eyes, forcing her to take a step forward.
When Xiangzi showed Rencai the wounds on Xiangzi's shoulder, Rupa's palm, and Chen's,
She loosened her grip and took Chen's body as he was helped up.
Just as Nina's body was about to hit the ground after losing her strength, Ms. Anwa caught her.
She didn't care; she had already wasted enough time.
She wanted to take Chen to the hospital.

Chapter 85 Smooth Landing
"Xiangzi, it's alright."
Dodging the blue-haired girl's attempt to share his weight, Chen tried to prove to Xiangzi that there was nothing wrong with his body.
"It's just a minor scrape, nothing else. Look, I can walk by myself."
In Xiangzi's eyes, however, any action Chen took at this moment was nothing but bravado.
She stepped forward, quickly grabbed Chen's right arm, and suppressed his urge to show off.
Raise Chen's arm upwards, then lower it.
However, the weight that was expected to fall on her body did not appear.
Turning her head, the blue-haired girl glared fiercely at the boy with her amber eyes.
From behind Chen, her left arm wrapped around Chen's waist, and Xiangzi forcefully pulled Chen's body towards her.
She only felt at ease when she truly shouldered that weight.
"No need to go to the hospital, Xiangzi. We still have some alcohol and gauze left, right? Just bandage it up at home, really!"
"It's my fault. I bypassed Nina and made a decision for her that she should have made herself. She has every right to be angry."
The blue-haired girl's anger grew fiercely as the boy beside her increasingly defended those who had hurt her.
She didn't respond, but instead showed her attitude with her unwavering gaze and her increasingly tighter grip on his waist.
Chen whispered in Xiangzi's ear, his tone almost pleading.
"Let me and Nina clear things up. I won't hide anything from her anymore."
"At least let me put an end to this, okay?"
Helpless
Xiangzi was completely at a loss with Chen's stubbornness.
Everything that happened tonight felt strangely familiar to her.
Just a short time ago, on that Friday night, she, as the protagonist, experienced everything strikingly similar to what's happening tonight.
"Let's go home first, I'll treat your wound."
The girl slightly shifted her gaze, and the strength of her other hand around Chen's waist gradually lessened.
The subtle changes in the girl's expression already revealed her attitude.
"Could you please bring Nina to my house?"
After letting Chen leave those words, Xiangzi had no more patience to stay there any longer.
Chen's taxi carrying Xiangzi gradually drove away.
Renna broke free from the support of Miss Anwa; she was powerless to resist the force that came from her.
She closed her eyes, but the pain she was expecting never came.
Rupa caught her.
In a daze, that once all-pervasive malice seemed to return, enveloping her entire body.
Even the most basic act of breathing seemed to have become difficult.
The transformation from goodwill to malice can happen in the blink of an eye.
When bottom lines are trampled on without a second thought, even the closest of friends can turn into bitter enemies in an instant.
When the consequences of Renna's actions became clear to her, she was already prepared—prepared to be targeted.
If we weigh Chen's position in the hearts of the other members of the band against their own position in the hearts of the other members of the band...
Without a doubt, she has no chance of winning.
Some things are not about right or wrong, but about perspective.
Moreover, because of her impulsiveness, she has lost all advantage, even though she was originally in the right.
So, leave, just leave.
She struggled, but she couldn't break free from Rupa's embrace.
The tears that had stopped flowing again streamed down her cheeks.
"Nina, I'm sorry. It was our mistake to keep everything from you."
A gentle voice came from above her.
"We are Chen's accomplices."
"No matter how much anger and resentment Ren Cai may have, we should all take it upon ourselves."
"But please believe me, neither Chen nor we have ever betrayed you."
"You know what, Rencai? Your parents were at the restaurant last night too."
"Moreover, all of this was deliberately arranged by Chen."
"Wha, what?!"
The arrival of this news was like a collision between Mars and Earth in Nina's mind.
She temporarily forgot her weakness and pain, abruptly sat up, and looked towards Miss Anhe and Xiaozhi for answers.
More questions arose in Rencai's mind.
Why did Chen arrange all of this?
Why is she still in Kawasaki?
Her father had clearly discovered her, so why didn't he appear before her and ruthlessly take this rebellious girl back to Kumamoto?
Countless questions piled up in her mind.
"Everyone has met Renna's parents. Chen racked his brains for a long time to come up with a legitimate way to keep Renna with them."
Ms. Anhe crouched down, bringing her gaze level with Nina's.
"Taking in Ren Cai was something Chen asked me to do."
"Nina's parents are in a private room at the restaurant. After confirming your presence, they are willing to communicate with us, as Nina's friends."
"But Chen was also afraid that they might suddenly change their minds and try to forcibly take Rencai back."
"That's why I took you away with me right after dinner last night."
Ms. Anwa grasped Nina's hand, using a slightly increased pressure to make Nina feel the truthfulness of her words.
"Today was our first live performance, Nina, and your parents watched it too!"
Rupa moved to stand in front of Nina and took her other hand.
"Nina also thinks this live performance was a bit sudden, right?"
The live show was scheduled for Sunday, but Rencai was only notified on Friday that it would be happening.
She didn't have much time to prepare mentally, and her little complaints never stopped before she went on stage.
"This live performance was specially arranged by Chen, specifically for Rencai's parents."
"Nina, have your parents truly understood your feelings?"
"Because of Chen's efforts, after listening to your live performance, they decided to respect your wishes and not force you to go back."
"The only request they made was that you, Rencai, don't give up on your studies."
"Therefore, Chen Cai plans to find the lead singer of Diamond Stardust, whom you mentioned before, hoping to get some information from her."
"After all, you said, Nina, that she used to be your best friend."
Rupa gently wiped away Nina's tears with his sleeve.
With her other hand, she gently stroked Rencai's short brown hair.
"They've decided to continue paying your rent, haven't they?"
Why, why do we have to do this...?
"Just ignore them! There's absolutely no need to let them hear my true feelings!"
A hysterical voice burst from Rencai's throat.
"Whether it's rent or living expenses, I can earn them myself by working! I can afford it! Why should I meddle in other people's business!"
"Do you think you'd still have time to participate in band activities after that?"
With his back to Nina, Satoshi reminded her of a more practical issue.
"In the worst-case scenario, they call the police, and the police will issue missing person notices in your previous area."
"You might still be able to find part-time work, but someone will inevitably discover your whereabouts and report it to the police."
You can't escape them; you'll eventually have to face them.
After saying all this, Ash didn't say another word.
"Don't...don't interfere with my decision...don't shake my resolve..."
Both the tone and the volume of her voice gradually decreased in Nina's speech.
Rupa and Ms. Anhe exchanged a glance and tried to lift the radish off the ground.
Nina finally stopped resisting.
