Lonely Rock for the Blind.

Nekoyashiki Haru said softly.

Chapter 444 Telephone

"...What do you mean by wanting to see Xiao Qing?"

On the balcony, holding a phone that had already been connected, Kikumi Hiroi asked with a dark expression.

[...I want to see Qing. I sent him a message, but he doesn't seem to have seen it.]

Eliza's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"...Xiao Qing won't see you. She won't see you."

Please... Kikuri, let me see him. I have something to say.

"Since you've already decided to leave, stop dawdling. Are you having second thoughts now?"

Hiroi Kikuri retorted angrily, her hands clenched into fists at her sides.

【...】

Eliza remained silent.

"...You can't even get over the pain you caused him, and you've decided not to interfere with his future life anymore, so stop shamelessly asking for favors."

Hiroi Kikuri clenched her fist tightly.

[...Is it that Haru doesn't want to see me...or is it that Kikuri won't let me see Haru?]

Eliza paused for a moment before continuing to ask.

"...Is there a difference between these two sides?"

Hiroi Kikuri squinted her eyes.

"Xiao Qing doesn't want to see you."

"...Could you let him tell me himself?"

Eliza pressed for an answer.

"!"

Hiroi Kikuri's pupils contracted sharply.

"I already told you... he doesn't want to see you!"

【Then let him come and talk to me, okay?】

"…you…"

[Kikuri is unwilling to do this because you're unsure what choice Haru will make, right?]

"... "

I know I did something terrible, and I even ran away without any backbone...

"...It's good that you know..."

Kikuri... I'm sorry too... I...

"I don't need your apology."

Hiroi Kikuri's muffled voice made Eliza's lips tremble.

[Kikuri...]

"You don't need to apologize to me, Eliza. Playing the prodigal son returning home tactic now won't be that easy."

Kikuri Hiroi's hand was gripping the railing.

"I won't let you hurt Xiao Qing anymore."

I didn't come to hurt him! I wanted to...

"Your very presence is already a form of harm!"

Kikuri Hiroi roared.

"Don't come any closer! I won't let Qing see you!"

【...】

There was silence on the other end of the phone.

"... "

Hiroi Kikuri also fell silent for a while before speaking into the phone.

“If you come to see him… I’ll beat you up… so don’t come any closer.”

[...I still have to see him...I can no longer...run away as I initially planned.]

Eliza said.

"...How did Qing end up with you?!"

Hiroi Kikuri gritted her teeth.

"Please let him go!"

No! I still have things to say to Qing!

"He doesn't need to listen to your annoying voice anymore! Neither do I!"

Hiroi Kikuri roared angrily with her head down.

"You did such terrible things to Qing, said such terrible things to us! You left so heartlessly! And you kept it from us all this time! How can you expect me to believe you, Eliza! I can't do it!"

[...Kikuri...]

"Just go back to England! You're happy as long as you see Qing is happy, right?! I'll give him to him! With other people! So just go back! Don't worry! He'll be happy for the rest of his life! So you'll never have to see him again!"

Kikuto Hiroi bent down, stomped her feet, and roared.

"Get back inside! Don't get in the way!"

【…I…】

"...Now you understand, right..."

Hiroi Kikuri breathed softly.

"Just go back home peacefully, Eliza."

【...】

There was silence on the other end of the phone.

Hiroi Kikuri pursed her lips, preparing to hang up the phone, when a voice came through.

Even so... I still want to apologize to him in person.

"!!!"

Hiroi Kikuri felt as if her blood had frozen at that moment, followed by boundless rage.

boom! ! !

She slammed her phone to the ground, and the screen shattered.

beep--

Eliza has already hung up the phone.

Hiroi Kikuri stared blankly at the scene, took two steps back, and slowly covered her face with one hand.

"Uh ah ah ah ah!"

Then he screamed in agony.

...

……

.........

"Kiku-san? Have you finished your call?"

Haru Nekoyashiki looked at Kikuri Hiroi, who was walking back from the balcony.

Hiroi Kikuri's eyes were red, and her whole body exuded a cold aura.

It brought in the temperature of this rainy night.

Iwashita Shima frowned as she looked at Hiroi Kikuri, a worried expression on her face.

"Kikuri, you..."

"... "

Hiroi Kikuri didn't see Riiwa Shima, but walked towards Nekoyashiki Haru.

"Would you like something to eat, Kiku-nee? There should be some food in the fridge, I'll heat it up for you..."

Nekoyashiki Haru stood up, but before she could finish speaking, Hiroi Kikuri grabbed her shoulder and pushed her down onto the sofa.

"Kikuri?!"

Nekoyashiki Haru's eyes showed terror.

“…I want to be, Qing.”

Hiroi Kikusato suddenly pounced on Nekoyashiki Haru, gently sniffing the boy's scent.

At the same time, it extended its pink tongue to lick its neck.

"Wait... Kikuri..."

Haru Nekoyashiki reached out her hand, but Kikuto Hiroi grabbed it tightly and pressed it against her chest.

"Shima! Shima's still here!"

Nekoyashiki Haru quickly called out.

"I know, so what?"

Hiroi Kikuri turned to look at Iwashita Shima.
