Lonely Rock for the Blind.

Feeling the hand suddenly tighten around her mouth, Nekoyashiki Haru opened her mouth.

"I've always been wrong, treating you all as 'children' subordinate to me... But actually, I'm the one who's being childish..."

Nekoyashiki Haru fell silent.

Their hands were clenched tightly.

Yijizhi Hongxia opened her mouth

"Kitten...no one blames you..."

"I know no one blames me."

Nekoyashiki Haru raised her head.

"Both Ryo and Ichiri confessed their feelings to me."

"!"

Ichi Niji Natsumi was stunned.

One shocking event after another came crashing down.

"kitten…"

“I can’t go on like this… Otherwise, a future where everyone is happy will never come… I hate the unknown future. I hope that you, my future selves, can still smile at each other like you do now… This isn’t a compromise I made because of your opinions; it’s something I want to do myself, it’s my own desire…”

Click...

The sound of shards breaking...

Nekoyashiki Haru faces Ichiji Niji Natsu.

“Hongxia…can I confirm this?”

"…What?"

"...You like me...right?"

"... "

Ichi Nijika was stunned, then clenched her fist over her heart.

This kind of problem…

Nijika Ichi nodded vigorously.

"Yes! I like it!"

"Ah."

Nekoyashiki Haru rushed forward and hugged Ijichi Nijika.

Ichiki Natsumi froze abruptly, then slowly embraced Nekoyashiki Haru.

"…I…"

"Hongxia, can you smile?"

Nestled in Ichiji Nijika's arms, Nekoyashiki Haru whispered.

I want to...hear your laughter...

"…Um…"

Ichi Nijika clenched her fist.

"Hmm... she'll smile."

The yellow triangle stood up completely.

Chapter 231 Choice (Return)

Nekoyashiki Haru left.

Saying that she had something else to do, she left first, even insisting that Ichiji Nijika not come to see her off.

Inside the room, Ichiki Nikka sat with her head down, lost in thought.

What did you mean by what you just said?

I can certainly understand your desire to not make everyone sad and to keep everyone laughing in the future!

However, I felt there was something I didn't yet understand about what the kitten said...

And... does holding Kita mean... the way I understand it?

If so, doesn't that mean the kitten has already chosen Kita?

But... it doesn't seem to be like that...

Putting aside my personal feelings... the kitten's purpose in seeing me was...

Ichi Nijika's hands trembled.

What was the purpose of seeing me, besides comforting me and telling me it's okay?

"…kitten…"

Suddenly realizing something, Ichiji Nijika looked up.

"...You're kidding..."

...

……

.........

"Ah... Manager, is everything done?"

In the movie "Stars", Ooku Otoko smiled and said to Iji Tomoka as she entered.

"Well, that's pretty much it for me...after all, he's much more reliable than me..."

Ijichi Seika nodded, then walked in and casually took a ribbon from a basket to the side.

Those are decorations used for Christmas.

"... "

Dahei Yin was resting his chin on his hand.

"I sense that you have something on your mind, store manager."

"... "

Ichika ignored Daikoku Oni ​​and hung the ribbons on the wall by herself.

"... "

Dahei Yin narrowed his eyes.

I think I've already finished talking with Qing.

But... Qing isn't here. Was she left at the coffee shop?

He can't go back alone... he needs me.

Dahei Yinyi stood up, preparing to walk outside.

"Wait a moment."

Ichiji Hoshika called for a halt to Daikoku Onmi once again.

"what happened?"

Daikoku Oto turned around and looked at Ichiji Hoshika.

"...Qing should be back soon. Didn't you say you were bored when Qing wasn't around?"

Ichi Hoshika hung up the bell.

"So, everything should be fine from now on."

"... "

Dahei Yin was stunned and stood there.

"…What did you say?"

"I said Qing should be back soon."

It's time to leave.

"That's what you wanted too, isn't it?"

Ichi Hoshika looked at Daikoku Oni.

"Come help me with the decorations."

"…Um."

Dahei Yin has already walked towards Ichiji Hoshika.

He casually took another ribbon from the basket.

"Manager, why did Qing suddenly leave?"

Dahei Yin had already hung up the ribbons.

"...Why do you care about this?"

Ichi Hoshika hung up the colorful ball.

"Actually, Qing and I have a very good relationship."

Clatter... The plastic cartoon snakes accidentally fell to the ground.

"... "

Ichiko stopped what she was doing and looked at Okoro Otomi.

Dahei Yin squatted down and picked up the small plastic snake.

"So I think... he must have been in a bad mood when he suddenly left these past few days, right?"
