"Although I'm glad you said that, that's the problem. Don't trust outsiders so easily."

Lin Qiao sighed helplessly, but seeing that Dikou Hinashi didn't listen at all, he simply didn't dwell on this issue any further.

"Looking at you, Hinami, did you encounter something unhappy?"

Fueguchi Hinami nodded silently.

Ever since a man who looked very vicious came to the house that day, her father asked her and her mother to move to a stable area temporarily and come back after a while.

Although she didn't hate everyone in the coffee shop and liked Sister Dongxiang very much, she felt very sad when she thought about being separated from her father.

She didn't understand who the ghouls her father and mother were talking about, but they were clearly a family, so why did they have to be separated for no reason? Was it really not possible for the family to be together?

But as a ghoul, he obviously couldn't tell these things to Lin Qiao, who was a human.

Lin Qiao tapped her forehead with his finger and said half-jokingly, "You have such a bitter face at such a young age. You will become an old witch when you grow up."

"I won't turn into an old witch." He retorted angrily.

It seems that all women, regardless of age, are very sensitive in this regard.

"Although he doesn't look like that, he is good at it on the inside. He keeps everything inside. Even adults can't stand it." Lin Qiao sighed.

This can be considered as his personal experience.

Looking around, all the familiar things have gone away. There is not even a familiar person around me. I am all alone in a foreign land.

Be it confusion or fear, even the fear of the future can only be kept alone, just like being in a dark forest full of dangers.

The only thing you can do is to hide yourself as much as possible, otherwise once you expose yourself, you will suffer an unexpected blow.

Normally he can vent through games, but if he were thrown into an ancient time when technology was not well developed, or into an apocalyptic environment, he would probably be driven crazy.

From this point of view, his situation is somewhat similar to that of the ghouls, both of whom are outliers in this society.

"If you don't mind, I can provide you with the guidance of a close brother." With a very contagious smile on his face and his already good image, it is indeed easy for him to gain the trust of children.

"Just say whatever you want, even if you think the sun in the sky is annoying, just think of it as a way to vent."

Hearing Lin Qiao say this, Fueguchi Hinami was indeed tempted, but when she thought about the difference in status between the two, she still hesitated.

"But...."

Humans and ghouls, is this really okay?

Sister Touka and mom also said not to get too close to humans, but if it's brother Ishimori...it doesn't seem like it's impossible.

The two little hands nervously grasped the corners of the clothes.

Seeing that she was in a difficult situation, Lin Qiao scratched her head a little embarrassedly: "Is it something that cannot be told to outsiders? Sorry, it seems that I made a slightly excessive request."

"Nothing..."

"Don't worry, I understand. After all, who doesn't have a little secret that they don't want others to know, right?" He touched the girl's head and made Hinami's hair look like a bird's nest.

There needs to be a distance between people. Even among family members, some things cannot be kept secret...such as browser history.

"Then I have something else to do, so I'll go back first. Hinami, you should also go home early." Standing up and stretching, Lin Qiao picked up the backpack containing the training clothes beside him.

"Big brother, are you leaving?"

After hearing that Lin Qiao was leaving, a look of loss appeared on Fueguchi Hinami's face, and she looked like an abandoned kitten.

Ah...I always feel a little reluctant to leave like this.

Looking at Fukou Hinami sitting on the bench with her legs crossed, Lin Qiao felt a little tired.

Don't look at me with such pitiful eyes. It turns out that raising a child is a troublesome thing... Never mind. Although my psychological counseling has failed, let me play the role of the caring brother to the end.

"I'm just going to buy a cup of coffee on my way back. Do you want me to take you to see your sister Dong Xiang?"

"Eh? Touka-san? Do you know where Touka-san is?"

"Anding District, right? I happened to run into her at her workplace when I was shopping a while ago, and now she's considered a regular customer there."

Although he doesn't go there often, among humans, he is indeed a genuine old customer.

"Speaking of which, your sister Dong Xiang has always had a problem with me. If possible, remember to say something good for me, otherwise I'm afraid she will chase me away."

"Ok!"

The lost expression on the cute little face disappeared and he nodded vigorously.

The next second, he jumped off the bench, took Lin Qiao's hand and walked out of the park.

Chapter 19 Blue + Yellow = Green

"Tell me what you did to Hinami, and I'll make your death quicker!"

A palm slapped the wall behind him, and the sound from close range made Lin Qiao's ears feel a little uncomfortable.

It seems hard to find another person who can speak in this tone, except Kirishima Touka, the non-mainstream girl who likes to act cool.

This is the third floor of the Anding District, and also Kirishima Touka's room.

"...but why is the premise that I have to die?"

"You know this clearly in your heart!"

“…No, no, no…I’m asking because I don’t know.”

Kirishima Touka's eyes twitched as she looked at the innocent-looking man in front of her and she almost couldn't resist the urge to stuff the chair into his mouth. Don't you have any idea of ​​what you did?

Kaneki Ken, who was standing at the door, walked in and tried to ease the atmosphere: "Touka, isn't this a bit too much? I think there must be some misunderstanding..."

However, the next second, he was glared at by Kirishima Touka with cold eyes and stepped back repeatedly, and was forced to hold back the words he was about to say.

"Shut up, idiot Kaneki! If you have nothing to do, get down to work!"

"That's what I'm saying, eyepatch boy, if you break the cup again, I guess even Mr. Furuma won't be able to save you... I hope you have some money left over from this month's salary."

Lin Qiao on the side was still finishing off the opponent, and at the same time seemed to be worried about the opponent's future, shaking her head with a look of admiration.

Under the double attack, Kaneki Ken put on a mask of pain, lowered his head, and walked away with a look as if saying "I'm sorry for being born as a human being."

"How dare you treat a new colleague like this... Dong Xiang, do you know that CPU is illegal in the workplace?"

Lin Qiao looked down at Kirishima Touka, without any awareness that she was an accomplice.

"Stop talking nonsense! What does our store have to do with you?"

Kirishima Touka said loudly in dissatisfaction.

To be honest, their current position was a little... not so good.

Or, in the eyes of an uninformed person, it was simply a wall-dong position, except that the one in the dominant position was Kirishima Touka, a woman, and there was absolutely no romantic atmosphere between the two of them.

"Anyway, if you don't give me a reasonable explanation today, don't blame my subordinates for being rude!".

With that, he slammed the door shut.

"That's why I was asking why. Why did you suddenly pull me over and ask me some inexplicable questions?"

Lin Qiao was helpless about this powder keg girl who exploded for no apparent reason. Although she explained that she just met her in Hinami Park and sent her back, but...

She doesn't believe it!

Kirishima Touka cast a distrustful look and questioned, "Then tell me, why did you bring Hinami to your house?"

"I just finished exercising in the park, so it's understandable that I need to go back and put my things away, right?"

"What's up with Hinami's clothes?"

"I happened to pass by a clothing store when I came here, and I saw that the original outfit was a little old, so I bought it."

"That's it?"

"What else? What were you expecting?"

Lin Qiao answered truthfully that he now seriously suspected that Kirishima Touka's hair would turn from blue to green in two days.

Is this brain filled with yellow paint?

"After all, I just bought some things when I sent Hinami here. Why do you think I'm a child abductor?"

"By the way? Some?"

Compared to the calmness on Lin Qiao's face, Kirishima Touka was not so calm. Looking at the indifferent expression on his face, she always felt her blood pressure soaring.

"What about the computers and game consoles? Don't let me stop by the computer city on your way back with you!"

Taking back her arms that were leaning against the wall, Kirishima Touka said unceremoniously.

Clothes and other things are just small matters, this is the crux of the problem!

Although the Fueguchi family is considered to have a good life among the ghouls, it is still a bit difficult for them to afford a luxury item like a "computer" with just the money Mr. Fueguchi earns as a black doctor, let alone a whole set of gift packages!

"Do you know that Miss Ryoko almost fainted when she saw Hinami coming back with a bunch of things?!"

Thinking that her well-behaved daughter had been cheated by a bad guy, or even worse, had learned how to rob, Fueguchi Ryoko's legs went weak and she burst into tears, muttering "It's my fault for not taking good care of Hinami" and "I'm sorry for the child's father."

Then he pulled Hinami into the room and gave her a lecture.

"I can guarantee that this has nothing to do with Hinami. It's mainly because I want it."

"what?"

Is there any relationship between the two?

"Look, if you want to buy a new one, don't you have to replace the previous one? Rather than listing it on the second-hand market and having to worry about the price and shipping costs in the end, it's better to just give it away."

Although the computer he used before was quite good, it had been a while, so while it was being renovated, he stopped by Boda to upgrade it.

"Asshole, are you treating Hinami like a recycling station?"

"Please don't be so harsh. Isn't this a very normal thing? Even children will give each other comic books they have read."

Lin Qiao said helplessly with a gloomy face, giving some unused old items to relatives and friends is a common thing no matter where you are, but giving things like computers as gifts is indeed not very common.

Of course, it must be formatted before that, otherwise some of the content inside will be too exciting for children.

"And don't you think Hinami is usually lonely?"

Kirishima Touka was stunned at first by this question, and then subconsciously wanted to refute, but when she opened her mouth, she didn't know what to say, so she could only lower her head unconsciously and clench her fists.

Lonely?

That's of course, after all, he doesn't even have a playmate of the same age.

Although her parents are with her, they are just elders after all. As an older sister, she has to go to school and work in a coffee shop in her free time, so she rarely can spare time to spend time with the child.

"I know...Hina has always been alone, but even if you say so, what can we do!"

In order to avoid having their true identities discovered, most ghouls, including Hinami Fueguchi, have never been to school. Even she only had the opportunity to go to school under the arrangement of the store manager.

The average education level per capita is prenatal education. This is really no joke.

The reason why there are so many mental patients among ghouls is that hidden dangers have been laid since childhood.

"Don't get so carried away... Anyway, don't you think it would be a good idea to play online games with me instead of just curling up in a corner reading a book? At least you can have someone to communicate with."

"And a pediatrician I know particularly likes to recommend games to children, and the effect is quite good. Games can work miracles - maybe that's the case?"

Lin Qiao crossed her arms and looked at Kirishima Touka with a sincere face, but the latter showed an expression of "I believe you are a ghost".

"Okay, okay, even if it's not for playing games, considering how common computers are now, there's nothing wrong with getting in touch with them earlier, right?"

"..."

That being said, but from what you just said, it seems like you just want to find someone to play games with you, right?

Kirishima Touka subconsciously wanted to deny it, but after calming down and thinking about it, she felt that what Lin Qiao said made some sense, well, just a little bit.

Lin Qiao looked at her with some confusion: "Or are you the kind of old lady, Dong Xiang, who holds the stereotype that 'children's poor grades are all caused by games'?"

"Tell me clearly who the old lady is!?"

Dong Xiang made a threatening gesture of swinging her fist forward. She felt that her blood pressure, which had finally calmed down, was showing signs of soaring again.

"So you really don't have any bad thoughts about Hinami?"

Despite all the explanations, Kirishima Touka still had doubts.
