Being unable to see... is a very, very... terrible thing.

He opened his eyes wide and stretched out his hand haphazardly.

But everything that was touched was nothingness.

His mouth was open, and there were tears on his face.

Did he just finish crying?

He walked forward, touching the wall with his hands.

One step, two steps.

Then he stopped.

Haru Nekoyashiki was terrified.

He felt fear in the face of the unknown ahead.

What's ahead? Will I bump into someone? When will I hit something?

I know nothing about it.

Nekoyashiki Haru gritted her teeth.

He suddenly felt a surge of inexplicable anger.

He peeled his hands off the wall.

And so they walked forward into nothingness.

It's like they're not willing to admit defeat.

Step by step, the pace gradually quickened.

Until he went from walking to running…

Snapped!

Just as he was about to run forward, he was tightly embraced.

"... "

Nekoyashiki Saki hugged Nekoyashiki Haru, her head down, and didn't say a word.

"...You're here..."

Nekoyashiki Haru lowered her head.

"Go back... and lie down."

"Nekoya Shiki said."

"...Let me walk around..."

"Go back and lie down."

"I said let me walk around!!!"

Fueled by inexplicable anger, Nekoyashiki Haru roared.

He struggled.

"Let me go!"

"...Go back and lie down..."

At this moment, all Nekoya Shiki could say was that she hugged him tighter and tighter.

The 15-year-old boy possessed unexpected strength.

However, she couldn't escape the embrace of Nekoya Shiki.

"Let me go! Leave me alone!"

"Nekoyashiki Haru!" Nekoyashiki roared.

"You told me to walk by myself! Why are you interfering with me now? You've never really cared about me before!"

"... "

The boy struggled even more fiercely.

"Let me walk! I can walk! I can do it!"

"... "

"Let me go!"

"…sorry…"

"Nekoya Shiki said softly."

"!"

Nekoyashiki Haru's struggling movements suddenly stopped.

"...I'm sorry...Qing..."

Nekoya Shiki lowered her head.

"…sorry…"

"... "

Nekoyashiki Haru knelt down weakly.

She knelt down behind him, holding his cat, Saki.

"…sorry…"

"...Don't apologize."

"I'm sorry... I'm so sorry..."

"I told you... don't apologize."

Nekoyashiki Saki hugged Nekoyashiki Haru, knelt on the ground, and apologized again and again.

After that, Nekoyashiki Haru became much more well-behaved.

Many times they still try to escape, but each time they are discovered, they do not struggle.

Instead, they would obediently return to their ward.

The few days of free time passed quickly.

The Nekoya Shisa-ki season is almost over.

Work, meetings... it seems there's never a break.

She walked into the ward and looked at the silent Nekoyashiki Haru.

"...Mom is leaving."

"…Um."

Nekoyashiki Haru nodded.

Nekoya Saki clenched her fist, then mustered her courage and said.

"I... can cancel the meeting again, and then!"

"…No."

Nekoyashiki Haru shook her head.

"Go ahead and get busy."

"!"

Nekoya Shiki loosened her grip on her hand.

"I will send someone to take care of you..."

"Ah."

"You...you have to be a good girl, Mommy will bring you toys when she comes back..."

“I’m already 15 years old. That’s what you’re saying to a 5 or 6-year-old.”

"Nekoyashiki Haru said."

"... "

Nekoya Saki nodded silently, then walked towards the door.

"…sorry…"

Nekoya Saki did not personally experience what happened afterward.

She simply listened to other people's reports and her own.

He kept running, and kept running.

But they didn't know why they were running.

Completely futile effort, an action with absolutely no meaning.

I can't understand it... but I also feel like I can understand it.

Is it because I am his mother?

I don't know about the cat house's veiled season.

Chapter 163 Hope (Return)

"That's all I know about Xiao Qing's time back then."

Nekoya Shiki looked at the three people in front of her.

"…senior…"

Kita Ikuyo wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and bit her lower lip tightly.
