Lonely Rock for the Blind.

Did I say that?

"You said that."

Nekoyashiki Haru shook her head.

"I sense there's something more to what you're saying. Is Kiku's situation unusual right now?"

"Nekoyashiki Haru asked."

"You're drunk."

"Getting drunk is the norm."

"Nekoyashiki Haru said."

"You can call her and ask her yourself."

Eliza laughed.

"Don't worry, everything's fine in Xiaoju."

"...The more you emphasize this, the more you want me to know there's a problem, right?"

Haru Nekoyashiki took out her phone and started making a call.

Beep~

Click...

【Hello?】

The voice on the other end of the phone was that of Shima Iwashita.

"Shima?"

"Haru... Kiku is drunk and acting crazy, so she might not be able to answer your call for a while."

"...Are you very drunk? Let me check."

【Qing, don't come. We're capable of handling this.】

Iwashita Shima's voice was casual.

[Just an ordinary day.]

"... "

[That's it, Kikuri called, I'll hang up now.]

beep…

The call was disconnected.

"See? I told you it was nothing."

Eliza laughed.

"So, Xiao Qing, you just like to overthink things."

"... "

Nekoyashiki Haru was silent for a while, then opened her mouth as if to say something.

What are you two doing here?

From the stairs came the voice of Ooku Otoko.

"Oh, hello, Ms. Pa."

Eliza greeted the big black voice.

"... "

Dahei Yin narrowed his eyes.

She glanced at Eliza, then at Nekoyashiki Haru beside her, who seemed to want to say something but hesitated.

"... "

With a slight downturn at the corners of her mouth, she walked down the stairs and took Nekoya Shikiharu's hand.

"Qing will stay with us."

"I know."

Eliza smiled and nodded.

The next moment, Nekoyashiki Haru was pulled into the [Starry Sky] by Okoro Otomi.

"... "

Eliza smiled as she looked at the closed door.

Then the smile slowly faded.

"I'm sorry, Kiku... I shouldn't have done these things."

"But I'll still do it, I'm sorry."

Chapter 287 Peace Fruit

It was already afternoon when Eliza returned to Flot.

After Nekoyashiki Haru was pulled into [Starry Sky] by Okoro Otomi, Eliza casually strolled around the streets.

Where did you go?

Kikuto Hiroi, who was being punished by Shima Iwashita and tied to a chair, asked.

"I went out for a walk because I was feeling a bit bored."

Eliza replied.

Then he took a bright red apple out of the bag he was carrying.

"For you."

"?"

Hiroi Kikuri took the apple in a daze.

"what is this?"

"Peace apples~"

Eliza laughed.

"Aren't peace apples usually delivered at night?"

"It doesn't matter. The 'peace apple' is for people who are not at peace."

Eliza walked over and sat down next to Kikuto Hiroi's chair.

"... "

Hiroi Kikuri squinted her eyes.

"What did Eliza do?"

"Huh? What do you mean?"

Eliza looked puzzled.

Kikuri Hiroi took out her phone.

"Shima... told me that Haru just called."

"I see."

Eliza nodded.

"I just took a look at [Stars] and didn't say anything more."

Eliza closed her eyes and said with a clear conscience.

She didn't say anything unnecessary.

Anyway... he'll definitely notice.

"... "

Kikuri Hiroi nodded, then spoke softly.

"...Thank you, Eliza."

Why are you thanking me?

"...You know why, but...I don't need it."

Kikuri Hiroi shook her head.

"... "

Eliza's smile slowly faded, and she stared expressionlessly at Hiroi Kikuri, who was gently shaking her head.

"Kikuri isn't cute at all now..."

"I've never really been that cute."

Kikuri Hiroi took a deep breath.

"I want to drink..."

"The wine should have been confiscated by now. It's really tough on Xiao Yin. Everyone came to help him set up, but I ran away and you went on a drunken rampage."

Eliza shook her head, her long golden hair swaying.

"There's no more wine. All you can eat now is a peace apple."

"... "

Kikuto Hiroi looked down at the apple in her hand.

"...Never mind, I don't really like apples."
