Lonely Rock for the Blind.

"Because there will be a next time?"

"Nekoyashiki Haru said softly."

"?!"

Ichi Nijika opened her eyes wide.

"?!"

Ichi Seika also opened her eyes wide.

Holy crap, how did he know?!

"Big sister, you big liar!"

Nijika Ijichi tapped Ijichi Seika's waist with her little fist.

"Ahh... Hmm? It feels pretty good?"

The pressure, like a massage, made Ijichi Seika subconsciously show a comfortable expression.

Seeing this, Ijichi Nikka became even angrier.

"You bad guy!"

"Ah... he can't really be called a bad guy."

"Ichika tilted her head and said helplessly."

"He's a bad guy! A complete bad guy! A liar who's planning to keep breaking the contract!"

"I'm doing something important, can't you be a little more sensible?"

"Ichi Hoshika said helplessly."

"Never!"

Ijichi Nijika pounded her fist even harder.

Ijichi Seika's expression became even more comfortable.

Nekoyashiki Haru listened quietly to their conversation and playful banter, her eyes narrowing.

Is our relationship... considered good?

Is this how it is between family members?

Chapter 193 Autumn Flowers (3)

"How is it, Xiao Qing? Does it suit your taste?"

The woman's blurry face approached Nekoyashiki Haru and asked.

"Mmm, it's delicious."

Nekoyashiki Haru nodded.

"That's good…"

The woman breathed a sigh of relief.

"I was worried that you wouldn't like it, Xiao Qing."

"If you don't like it, just keep making it. I can take care of the cooking."

The man next to the woman said.

"... "

Nekoyashiki Haru nodded gently.

Ijichi Seika, who was standing next to him, patted the boy on the head.

"Come again next time! Dinner is always so delicious when you come!"

"... "

Nekoyashiki Haru looked up at Ijichi Seika.

Ijichi Hoshika felt a little uneasy under his gaze.

"W-what's wrong?"

"nothing."

Nekoyashiki Haru shook her head.

He was just thinking about something.

I was thinking, even though they're family, if I come over too often, they might dislike me.

As expected...

"Oh, Xiao Qing, can you stay at our house tonight?"

The woman suddenly said.

"?"

Nekoyashiki Haru was stunned.

Ijichi Hoshika was also stunned.

Ichi Nijika raised both hands high.

"Yay! The kitten will sleep with me!"

"…I…"

Just as Nekoyashiki Haru was about to shake her head, the woman's voice rang out.

"Your parents agree, but it must be tough living alone in that apartment, right? It's not like you're completely unattended, but it's still a bit different from what we're doing here, isn't it?"

"... "

Nekoyashiki Haru lowered her head.

Ijichi Hoshika glanced at Nekoyashiki Haru, then looked up at her mother.

"Does he live alone?"

"Ah... that's roughly how it can be seen."

"Huh? His parents don't care about him?"

"No, not really, they..."

Before the woman could finish speaking, Nekoyashiki Haru raised her head and answered Ijichi Seika.

"They are very busy."

"... "

Ijichi Hoshika was stunned.

"So...busy..."

"Ok!"

Nekoyashiki Haru nodded vigorously.

The blonde woman looked at Nekoyashiki Haru and smiled.

"So, Xiao Qing, why don't you stay here?"

"... "

"It's just for a few days, is that alright?"

"…it is good."

Nekoyashiki Haru nodded, accepting the woman's invitation.

...

……

.........

night.

"Hehe, this is the first time I've slept with someone other than my family."

On the bed, next to her, Ijichi Nikka, who was wearing pajamas, seemed a little excited.

"Hey! Kitten! Have you ever slept with a friend before?"

"the first time."

Nekoyashiki Haru shook her head and said.

His purple pupils shone brightly in the moonlight.

"I don't think I've ever slept with anyone else in my memory."

"... "

Ichi Nijika blinked.

Do kittens often not see their parents?

"Can't see him/her."

"Nekoyashiki Haru said."

"Hey...where did they all go?"

"It's a very far place; you have to take a plane to get there."

"I've never been on an airplane before! Your parents are amazing! What do they do when they go to such faraway places?"

"…make money."

"Nekoyashiki Haru said."

"The food, drinks, clothes, and tuition fees are all paid for with the money they earn."
