Lonely Rock for the Blind.

Is that all?

"Then let's add another rule."

Dahei Yin laughed, his dark green eyes flickering in the candlelight.

"It must be a story told only by oneself."

"OK…"

Nekoyashiki Haru nodded.

"Let me start with myself... um... before I met Nijika's mother, I was basically alone."

"... "

Dahei Yin listened silently.

“My parents have never been around. Although I’m not exactly neglected, they don’t really talk to me much. I guess chatting with kids isn’t part of their job.”

"Hey~ Don't you have any complaints?"

"Yes, there are some... After all, I rarely saw my parents when I was little, and the school kept telling me how wonderful my parents were."

Nekoyashiki Haru closed her eyes.

"So naturally I got angry, and even wondered if no one wanted me."

"That's a perfectly normal reaction... and then what? You had a meltdown when you met your parents? And they made up with you?"

"... "

Nekoyashiki Haru shook her head.

"No, because they haven't shown up for so long, I've made peace with myself."

"Is it a compromise..."

Dahei Yin nodded.

"My little story of loneliness is that simple, what about yours?"

"Nekoyashiki Haru asked."

"Mine...right..."

After a moment of preparation, Dahei Yin spoke softly.

"It was a winter... a very cold winter."

"Ah."

"Then, I sat up in bed."

"Ah."

And then…

School and stuff...

Let's not go.

Chapter 218 Presence

boom…

Dahei Yin had already gone back to bed.

Since no one cares about me, I naturally don't need to care about my future.

Anyway, no one will blame me.

With a gurgling sound, the blanket was pulled tighter around her again.

A gentle warmth emerged from the brief chill.

The birds outside the window were chirping and chattering.

Birds in winter? You'll freeze to death!

It probably won't freeze to death; it's probably a neighbor's bird.

She initially wanted to keep birds, but gave up on that idea.

I feel like I can't raise it well...

If you have a pet, you will definitely be very sad if you lose it.

So it's better not to raise them.

In the warmth, the cool and beautiful winter sunlight shines into the room.

Splash...

The curtains covered the windows.

Everything is cold and icy in winter, even the sun.

She continued to curl up, trembling as she slept.

I want to turn on the heating, but I don't want to go outside.

I want to get a thicker blanket, but I don't want to go outside.

Turning his bed into his own personal barrier, Dahei Yin, who occupies one-eighth of an 80-square-meter house, felt that his living space was actually a bit too big.

She closed her eyes.

I drift off to sleep amidst the beauty around me.

She wasn't dreaming; there was only complete darkness. She opened her eyes.

The cool sunlight outside the window turned into an orange-yellow sunset.

"... "

Oh, I really didn't go to school.

Without asking anyone for leave, I just managed to fall asleep on my own.

And so it turned out, she really didn't go to school...

Has nobody noticed?

She took out her phone.

I don't have the teacher's contact information, but they should be able to contact my parents, right? So I'm probably going to be found out...

There are no messages on my phone.

Okay, no one noticed.

She sat up in bed, picked up the remote control from the bedside table, and turned on the heater.

bite----

They're starting to waste heating!

"... "

Well, nobody cares if I'm wasting my time.

Daikoku Oto sat there waiting for a while until the air warmed up before she got off the bed.

buzzing~

My phone vibrated.

"what…"

Dahei Yin was slightly taken aback, then quickly took out his phone to answer the call without even checking who was calling.

Hello, do you need a water purifier for your home? We have one here…

"Ah...you didn't come here to see me."

"Ah... um, hello? I'm the one looking for you! I'd like to recommend one of our..."

"I mean, you didn't come here specifically to find me, you called me specifically to talk to me, and you didn't even know my name before you called me, but I'm still quite happy. Can we chat?"

【Well…】

"Is that not allowed?"

Sorry, I have other work to do...

beep----

Dahei Yin had already put down his phone.

"They ran away..."

Dahei Yin walked towards the kitchen and then opened the refrigerator.

Inside were dishes that had been prepared several days ago.

Dahei Yin learned how to cook by watching videos; it wasn't difficult. She genuinely thought that those characters in movies and TV shows who couldn't cook were ridiculously absurd.

Add these in, add those in, stir-fry them, and put them on a plate.

That's all.

But thinking about it, it seems like those who can't cook are the ones cooking for others.

It's nice that people eat their food.

But I clearly did better.

The dishes on the plates were heated one by one and then placed on the table.

Dahei Yin was already seated at the table, stretching out his chopsticks to eat the food, which no longer tasted as good as it did at the beginning.

She opened her phone and randomly clicked on a video.
