"Isn't it better to be quiet now?"

Miao Meng put away her usual playful smile and said, "Whether it's her or us, let's be quiet for a while."

Le Nai, could it be that I have influenced you? Mu lowered his head and began to blame himself out of habit. If I hadn't said those discouraging words before, Le Nai wouldn't be so depressed.

I was clearly holding myself back before, telling myself I hadn't given my all yet and couldn't give up, but now...

My gaze shifted from the door to Pochi. Lenai had left and canceled the agreement to play guitar together. Since I had the same idea in mind, was it time for me to leave too?

Anyway... I haven't known Pochi that long, it's just a return to my original life, no big deal...

But...why couldn't I say it to Pochi herself? Su Shi's words echoed in my mind again, "Go talk to her yourself."

Su Shi, you already knew you couldn't speak...

"Mu? Are you okay?"

While thinking about how to win back Lenai, his eyes involuntarily looked towards the door and noticed that Mu's expression beside him was also a little strange. "Lenai...did he say something to you?"

Mu subconsciously wanted to nod, but then realized that everything they talked about was about Pochi, and they never talked about Lenai herself.

Then the nodding turned into shaking the head, and he flipped his head in a somewhat funny way.

"Mu?"

"..."

Knowing that his previous actions were a bit strange, Mu was silent for a moment, then said to Pochi, "Tell Lenae about... Mujica..."

"Eh? Mu...know about Mujica?"

Pochi was a little surprised, and Miao Meng beside him was also stunned. He didn't expect that this word was first proposed by Mu, who he was least familiar with.

"Well, Xiang told me about it before and asked me if I wanted to join."

Mu lowered his head and nodded.

"Eh? Mu...didn't you agree?"

It was hard to imagine Mu rejecting Xiangzi. "Why?"

"because……"

Pochi, you...

The rest of the words were held back in his stomach, leaving behind an incoherent answer.

Unable to understand what Mu meant, Pochi turned around and looked at Miao Meng. She just spread her hands, confused by this girl whom she had only known for a short time.

"Then... is it really okay to tell it? Didn't Xiangzi say not to tell anyone else?"

"It should be fine... Lenai won't tell anyone else..."

I have no idea of ​​any other solution, so it seems that the only option is to confess...

-

What promises, what shelter, what playing guitar together? In the end, they were all to appease me, right? Lenai walked alone on the street at night, with only the guitar behind him to keep him company.

as always……

I clearly... I clearly just don't want to wander anymore, so why... is it so difficult? As I thought about this, I angrily kicked a stone from the roadside, and it rolled away along the corner for a long time.

I know you have a band, but...but when the band isn't busy, can you please pay attention to me? How long has it been since I saw Pochi at Ring?

I kicked the stone away again and realized that what I did was just like the stones on the roadside, with no meaning.

"I'm sick!"

He muttered this to himself and kicked the stone away again. This time, it had reached the corner, and without the restraint of the wall, the stone disappeared into the night.

Tsk... Even the stones don't want to accompany me...

The stone I used to vent my anger on was nowhere to be found, so I simply changed direction. I didn't even know where I was going, so Pochi and the others wouldn't be able to find me...

I turned the corner and looked in the direction I came from. In the thick night, there were only passers-by coming and going, and I couldn't see anything familiar.

Forget it, it doesn’t matter.

I retracted my gaze and headed towards an even more unfamiliar path, but... I was just returning to the past...

-

"Le...Le Nai..."

I tried hard to call out Lenai's name, but with little success.

"Hey, hey, you should be a little louder when calling people!"

Miao Meng looked at my two current teammates and felt a little overwhelmed.

Pochi was so cautious, it was already a good thing that he could even open his mouth to call out to someone. As for the other Mu, you couldn't expect the eldest lady to actually open her mouth and shout at someone, as her etiquette training started at a young age.

In the end, I was the only one who risked disturbing other residents by shouting Lenai's name loudly. I shouted around my house, but in the end, it was to no avail.

"Now...what should we do now?"

Pochi said as he looked at himself and Mutsuya followed Pochi's gaze and put the pressure on himself.

That’s right, after all, I’m an adult.

It hadn't been long since she turned and walked out of the house, so how could she be nowhere to be found? Furthermore, it was clearly time for Pochi and I to spend time alone, but in the end, that was also ruined...

"Meow... Meow Dream?"

Pochi pulled at the corner of Miao Meng's clothes, bringing her back to her senses from her daze.

"Okay, okay, I got it. Let's drive to find her."

I don't believe how far a junior high school student can run...

Chapter 213: Shelter.

How long have you been walking?

I don't remember much, but I was just incredibly tired. I don't know if it was because I'd walked from Pochi's house to Mujia with my guitar that afternoon, or if it was because I was just wandering aimlessly, but my feet were aching.

Besides, Pochi and the others didn't chase me, so I'm not that important after all.

Want to rest...

He stopped and found a bench not far away. He turned around again hesitantly and looked in the direction he came from. As expected, there was no sign of Pochi and the others.

I walked a few steps and sat on the bench, supporting my body with my hands and looking up at the sky. Under the illumination of the city lights, only a few exceptionally bright stars were still shining in the sky.

He took out his cell phone, and the message from Pochi was particularly eye-catching.

【There are five unread messages. 】

【If you see this, can you please reply? 】

Although I don't know what other unread messages there were, but... I think he was looking for me...

I'm right here, why can't you find me?

I know I'm being unreasonable, I know I was the one who left without permission, I know I was the one who wanted to stay with Pochi, but I just... I feel unwilling...

"Meow~"

A cat's meow interrupted Lenai's thoughts. He lowered his head and found that a white cat had been lying under the chair, yawning lazily with its mouth open.

"Meow~"

Lenai responded by reaching out and picking it up from under the chair, placing it on her lap, only then realizing that she had two different eye colors, just like herself, as if she were a carbon copy of herself.

"Are you...alone too?"

While stroking her fur, she asked it a question, but it was more like she was asking herself, "Do you... have a place to stay?"

"Meow~"

The cat on his leg meowed, as if in response to the question, but Lenai couldn't understand the meaning behind it.

"However, judging from your appearance, you should be much better than me..."

Although I didn't understand it, I could still feel the sense of security coming from it, which reminded me of the time when I stayed at Pochi's house.

I really want to get closer to Pochi...

"Meow~"

Perhaps it sensed the heaviness of his heart and didn't want to stay by his side any longer. Lenai watched it jump off him and to the side, then head towards an alley.

"Are you going home?"

Lenai asked the question, but it didn't respond. It just walked to the entrance of the alley, then turned around and squatted on the ground, licking its paws.

"Where do you want to take me?"

Lenai, who had nothing to do, stood up and walked towards the unfamiliar alley with his guitar.

I usually walk on the main road, and this unfamiliar alley is not a good choice, not to mention it is night time.

but……

In the end, I followed it, which looked exactly like me, into a strange alley...

-

"Le...Le Nai, nothing's going to happen, right?"

Pochi looked at the unread message sent to Lenai on his phone and asked worriedly, "What if...what if something happens to Lenai..."

"Will not."

Miao Meng, who was driving, interrupted Bochi's somewhat depressed speech and asked, "If something really happened, would it be all his fault?"

She was only a middle school student, so why didn't I stop her from going out alone at night? I was the only adult there, so did I subconsciously treat everyone else as adults because I was an adult?

He drove around his rental house again and again like a radar, but still couldn't find any trace of Lenai. Finally, he had to drive the car into the parking lot and turn around to discuss countermeasures with the two of them.

"No, we won't be able to find it at this rate."

Miao Meng, who had thought it would be easy to find the place by car, was now a little anxious. "Pochi, should we try calling Lenai?"

"Since a while ago,... no one has answered... Lena, I don't usually like to check my phone..."

"But……"

Miao Meng wanted to say more, but in the end, it all came down to why she had stopped Pochi and asked everyone to calm down. It wasn't a particularly serious dispute, and she should have just chased after him. But it ended up like this...

Then the car fell into dead silence until the sound of a guitar came from outside the car and reached the ears of the three people.

"Is there... a guitar sound?"

Pochi spoke first, "And...it looks like Lenai's guitar..."

Hearing what Pochi said, Miao Meng immediately unbuckled his seat belt and got out of the car. Without the obstruction of the car, the sound of the guitar was clearer.

"Yes, over there."

Mu, who also got off the car, pointed in a direction, which was the entrance to the parking lot.

-

"Where are you taking me?"

"Meow~"

A cat and a man were walking in the alley, one in front and one behind. Although there were no street lights, the moonlight tonight was relatively bright and there was no sense of danger.

"Are you going to take me to your habitat?"

"Meow~"

It seemed like it really understood what she said and would respond every time, which made Lenai feel a little calmer.

……

After turning around many times, I finally followed the cat back to the main road. However, compared to the unfamiliar place near Miao Meng's home, this place now felt somewhat familiar.

As we continued forward, the familiar feeling in my heart grew stronger and stronger, until I saw a parking lot sign and confirmed it with some disbelief, "Space?"

"Meow~"
