I am the emotional sustenance of your deceased

[It has come to this point, my only way forward is to keep moving forward!]

[In order to be able to... obtain Chitose, I must abandon my ridiculous idea! ]

"I... attend Tsuki no Mori. You should know that school... but I didn't go there since kindergarten."

Nagasaki Suyo clasped her hands together in front of her chest. Although tears were still on her pretty face, her emotions had calmed down a lot.

"It all started when my parents divorced..."

"Eh?"

Chitose cooperated by making a sound of surprise, and she now began to reconcile the accounts.

[What went wrong that caused Su Shi to have such a scene today? ]

Instead of going home on a rainy night, he wandered around with the intention of committing suicide.

This child must have been stimulated by something.

Ch174. Because only the year old will take me home

They should have been the two people in the world who knew each other best, but now they were cautiously getting to know each other again.

"Then the band broke up... I had always considered the band my spiritual home, but it was destroyed."

Leaning against the balcony, Su Shi found for the first time that he could calmly tell the fact that the band had disbanded.

In the past, she might have argued and said something ridiculous, such as the band didn't disband, it's just that no one came.

But now Su Shi has completely accepted this fact and even feels... relieved about the band's disbandment.

She no longer needs a home without feelings, and she has every hope of finding a home that she really needs.

"Huh? What happened next? That was before Suyo-chan started high school, right?"

Qiansui sat next to Su Shi. Because there was no cushion and she was wearing very little, she felt cold underneath.

"Yeah... I thought I'd gotten used to that kind of life, continuing to be ignored by my companions and having them take my kindness for granted. But today I realized that I can no longer tolerate my past life."

"So it was today's fire that caused Su Shi to completely collapse?"

"No, it's not because of the house fire... I, I actually..."

I actually lied.

"Huh?" Qiansui glanced sideways.

It wasn't the fire? So...

"But I really feel so bad, 20. Can you understand how I feel? You may think that you only did some insignificant good things and don't deserve such a big reaction from me, but... what you have done for me has already made me grateful..."

"You are the only person I have ever met in my life who is willing to help me, Xiao Sui. If you hadn't taken me home, I would have definitely left this world..."

His voice was weak, his limbs were weak, and his eyes were dizzy. This was Su Shi's current condition.

But she felt surprisingly hot and excited, and was in a mixed state of being tired and not tired at the same time.

The pajamas she was wearing were Chitose's, and the shower gel she was using was also Chitose's, and beside her was Chitose...

[I can't stand it! I'm surrounded by Chitose's scent... It's like drinking an unusually hot drink, I'm getting drunk.]

"So this is the story of Su Shi. I didn't expect that your wish was not to let me drive you away..."

Half of her pretty face was buried in her knees, Qiansui hugged her legs, and a gleam flashed in her wine-red eyes.

"Yeah... woooo... no, I still want to be friends with you."

"You idiot..."

Really, is this what they call "fate"?

Qiansui is now very open-minded about fate. She always feels that everything she encounters is arranged by some kind of fate.

Since he could encounter such an outrageous thing as the system, it was normal to pick up a female high school student who was suffocating under the pressure of reality.

"Ah, thank you for your hard work, Su Shi."

These words were not only spoken to Su Shi in front of him, but unfortunately only Su Shi in front of him could hear them.

The rain washed away the world's dust, bringing a brief breath of fresh air to Tokyo. The silken cloth of the sky was dotted with stars, and behind the two girls was the night sky.

The starry sky was naked, just like the girls' bodies under their thin nightgowns.

"A farcical acquaintance, a girl's emotional breakdown, and me being confused? Tonight is really busy."

"I'm so sorry! I've caused you trouble. I... shouldn't be so excited, but I'm really touched..."

"But why me?"

"Because only you will take me home, you are my..."

Chitose was waiting for Sushi to continue, she felt very uncomfortable.

Although I understand that Su Shi and Deng’s high school life was not easy, I didn’t expect it to be so difficult.

Youth is a pocket that should be filled with a lot of innocence and dreams. Why do they, who are still children, have to face these unchangeable realities?

Is this the so-called big band Girls' Generation? How scary.

Chitose remembered a fantastic band he had met a few years ago. On the day of their debut performance, all the members canceled their performance, leaving only the bassist sobbing quietly with tears in his eyes on the stage.

From that day on, Chitose, who worked as a ticket seller in the exhibition hall, realized that playing in a band was a terrible thing.

Look at Su Shi and Deng now, aren’t they all victims of the band?

"Huh? Why is there no sound? Su Shi, what's the follow-up?"

When Qiansui turned his head, he found that Su Shi had already closed his eyes.

Her entire body leaned against the balcony railing, completely exhausted. If Chitose hadn't seen her even breathing, she would have wanted to hug her and rush to the hospital.

"Are you asleep? Oh, thank you for your hard work."

These past few years must have been very difficult for this child.

Although the ending of the simulation is a lifelong regret, the process is actually making up for the regrets and shortcomings of the simulated protagonist.

Lacking maternal love and companionship, and having been alone for most of your life, Nagasaki Suyo, please have a good night's rest.

When he picked up Su Shi, he found that she was much lighter than he had imagined. Qiansui smelled the fragrance on Su Shi's body.

It was a mixture of the scent of a thousand years old mixed with the body fragrance of the ordinary world, a unique smell.

"You're such a child who hasn't grown up. Even though you're a teenager, your emotions are still unstable. No wonder you're such a loser even at thirty."

In the guest room, Chitose covered Su Shi with the quilt.

She thought, perhaps the adult version of Su Shi in the simulation had also broken down and ran away from home one day in high school.

But in the end, Su Shi was not picked up and taken home by a kind-hearted person.

So what were Su Shi's feelings and reactions at that time? Would that Su Shi continue to cry?

Yes, yes.

"But I swear you won't be in that situation again... After making a fuss all night, you little bastard is finally quiet."

Considering that Suyo probably hadn't eaten all day, Chitose couldn't rest yet.

She made soup with a whole chicken in the refrigerator and also made vegetable minestrone for Su Shi to enjoy when she woke up tomorrow.

Finally, Qiansui passed by the guest room and pecked her forehead gently, just like he did to Su Shi when she was a child.

"Good night Sushi, the world will treat you gently."

At least, I will try my best to make your world more comfortable, Su Shi.

"Sister? The little sister I picked up from outside finally stopped crying."

After returning to her room, Chitose found that Kyomoto had not yet fallen asleep. Instead, he was asking her questions in an excited tone with a gossipy look on his face.

"Hey, that girl is just a little kid. Although she looks mature, that missing childhood always causes some problems inside her... Forget it, just ignore me. But the problem has been solved."

"Sister, you've really changed."

Kyomoto pulled back the quilt to welcome Chitose, and there was a hint of... teasing in her tone?

"Yeah, love you more."

"Sister, it's greasy!"

"It's Kyomoto's good scum."

Ch175. Whisper from a Lady from Nagasaki

No nightmares this time.

On the contrary, Su Shi slept very soundly.

She had a beautiful dream that made the corners of her mouth steadily rise when she woke up.

In her dream, she finally met Chitose Noshiro, moved into her house, became her family and partner, and finally they fulfilled their vows to stay together for life.

But dreams are just dreams, and you will wake up from them.

When the midday sun quietly poured into the room through the gap between the glass and the curtains, Su Shi's slender eyelashes trembled a few times.

Then she suddenly opened her eyes, and the old pain seemed to disappear, and Su Shi only felt her body light.

"Hmm..."

"Unfamiliar ceiling."

Wait! Where is this place? It's Sui's house! What did I do yesterday?

Su Shi sat up faster than she could cry, supporting herself on the bed sheet with one hand and her head with the other. After getting some rest, her brain began to work again.

Yesterday she waited for Chitose on the street for a whole day, and she actually saw him. In the end, Chitose took her home and she complained to him all night long...ah...

"First impression, isn't that all?"

The corners of her mouth twitched, and Su Shi felt happy but a shy expression appeared on her face.

So embarrassing, myself...

"At least my heart doesn't hurt as much as it did when I woke up from the dream. That's a big improvement."

My throat is so dry.

The crying over the past few days had drained all the moisture from Su Shi's body. She felt like she was only one body away from becoming a mummy wrapped in gauze.

It would be nice to have water at this time, at this time...

"Ok?"

Glancing sideways, I saw a glass of water and a plate of fruit on the bedside table next to me.

There seems to be a little heart tag? Seriously, why be so nice to a stranger you've only known for less than a day?

After drinking the water bottle in one gulp, Su Shi slowly leaned back and continued to lie down. She enjoyed the feeling of being enveloped by Qiansui's breath and was completely reluctant to wake up.

Wouldn't it be nice to continue being enveloped by this pleasant scent of wild lilies? Why wake up? Face the cruel reality of the world?

What time is it now? I haven't thought about it yet.

Should I go to school? Never mind… I didn’t go yesterday anyway, so one more day doesn’t matter…

Check your phone to see if anyone has sent you a new message. Ugh, who would normally contact you?

Yes, for example, classmates in the club come to rehearse with me.

Ha ha…

"Da mee oh, Su Shi doesn't want to do anything today."

Chitose might have already gone to school, so I might as well continue sleeping and wait for her to come home.

The little feet stopped kicking around. Although the bedding in Xiaosui's house was not as expensive and high-end as that in Su Shi's house, it made Su Shi feel more at ease.

This sense of security cannot be provided by pillows or sheets at any price.

This is the peace of mind given by Chitose Noshiro.
