Lonely Rock for the Blind.

Ichi Nijika tilted her head.

"But my parents also have to earn money to give me food, drink, clothes, and school fees, but they've always been with me."

"...The situation is different."

Nekoyashiki Haru turned her head away.

Nijika Ichi came over and hugged Nekoyashiki Haru.

Is there anything different?

Children's unique curiosity led Ichiki Nijika to continue asking questions.

Nekoyashiki Haru turned around and looked at Ijichi Nijika.

"…I don't know either."

"Ok?"

"I don't know exactly what kind of work they do, so I can't answer you."

"I see..."

Ichichi Hongka is next to Cat House Shiki Haru.

After a moment of silence, Ichiji Nijika suddenly looked up.

Then, gritting his teeth, he asked.

"You still can't swallow your anger! Little cat, isn't your older sister very mean?!"

"I do not know."

Nekoyashiki Haru shook her head as she opened her eyes.

She said she would lie to me again next time!

Ichi Nijika buried her head in the pillow.

"It never used to be like this... It's always been a band!"

"... "

Nekoyashiki Haru tilted her head and thought for a moment before speaking.

"It's okay, I'll stay with you later."

"I know! Because the kitten kept me company today!"

Ichi Nijika looked up and said seriously.

"By the way, why do you call me Little Cat?"

Nekoyashiki Haru was confused.

"Because it's cute!"

Ichi Nijika cupped Nekoyashiki Haru's face in her hands.

"Kittens are just as cute as kittens!"

"... "

Nekoyashiki Haru opened her mouth.

"You can call me by my name... Qing..."

"But I think kittens are better!"

"Ugh…"

Nekoyashiki Haru sighed.

"Whatever you want."

"hey-hey…"

Ichi Niji Natsumi released her hands from holding Nekoyashiki Haru's face and lay down on the bed.

"Little cat, why do you think the stars are so bright?"

"...because stars are actually constants located countless light-years away..."

"I can't understand any of that gibberish!"

Ichi Nijika shook her head.

"I've heard that the dead become stars in the sky, and because they want to watch over their loved ones on the dark earth, they shine with all their might, and that's how the stars became so bright!"

"... "

Nekoyashiki Haru blinked.

"Are there stars watching over me?"

Ichi Nijika tilted her head.

"Like, my ancestors from a very, very long time ago!"

"ancestor?"

"Hmm...maybe a samurai! One man! One sword, cutting through all the treacherous bastards!"

"...Are you talking about your sister?"

"If she continues to be so treacherous, she might just be cut down like a straw by those samurai!"

The ahoge (cowlick) on Ijichi Nijika's head twitched for a moment.

"Then after he's done cutting, the samurai will say something like, 'I've cut down something meaningless again...'"

Click.

The door was suddenly opened.

"I'm sorry, Hongxia, we don't think we have any ancestors like that in our family."

The blonde woman walked over.

"Mother?"

Ichi Nijika tilted her head.

"It's Mom... You guys really weren't asleep."

The woman put her hands on her hips.

"I was worried you guys might get too excited and not be able to sleep, so I came to check... and it turned out that's exactly what happened. You have school tomorrow, you know."

"Ugh..."

Ichi Nijika pouted.

"If you can't sleep, would you two suggest I sleep with you?"

The woman laughed.

"Ok?"

Nekoyashiki blinked, and before she could react, the woman walked to the bedside and picked her up.

"... "

A helpless look appeared in the eyes of Haruto Nekoyashiki, who had gotten used to being held.

"Heave-ho..."

The woman climbed between the two men, then opened her arms and hugged them tightly.

"Go to sleep now, we're going to school together tomorrow."

"Does the kitten go to the same school as me?"

"Ichi Niji Natsumi asked."

"Yes, it's the same school, probably the class next door?"

The woman nodded.

Then she looked at Nekoyashiki Haru next to her.

"Xiao Qing, can you sleep? If you can't, I can tell you a story."

"... "

Nekoyashiki Haru blinked.

A strange sense of security came from the woman's arm around him.

A strange yet fresh feeling of reassurance.

Nekoyashiki gently hugged the woman's arm.

"...I can sleep."

Chapter 194 Autumn Flowers (4) [Return]

When did I start getting used to this kind of life?

Whether it's immersing yourself in their warmth or watching their occasional arguments.

Everything seems completely different from my previous life.

Nekoyashiki Haru doesn't really feel very real.

It was like a dream, or perhaps a play?

She descended as if by divine intervention, bringing him into a world that seemed completely different.

A warm, cozy, and enviable life.

The cat, Yashiki Haru, was slightly lost in thought, holding a piece of bread in its mouth.

Ijichi Seika, who was standing next to her, gently tapped Nekoyashiki Haru's head.

What are you spacing out for?
