I am the emotional sustenance of your deceased

Chitose Noshiro is perfect.

This belief has never changed since I was a child, even after witnessing her failure with my own eyes.

That year, Lenai would be six years old, and Nodai Chitose would be twenty-two.

In my memory, Sister Chitose was very powerful.

With her short hair, she looks heroic and handsome. Anyone who sees her can't help but take a second look at her.

The light she exuded was so dazzling that after leaving the orphanage, she was admitted to university on her own.

Later, as if it was fate, she encountered her favorite career, and then she rushed along that path like riding a rocket.

Her sensibility and beauty are constantly improving.

Everyone was convinced of her impending success.

Before long, I'm afraid she will attract the attention of the whole world.

However, at that time, she suddenly passed away.

From then on, Kaname Rakuna was unable to get out of the shadow of Chitose Noshiro. She took on everything that Chitose Noshiro had to do until that day when she visited Chitose's grave again.

That's the way it is.

……

The white-haired girl who suddenly appeared, you are about the same age as me, but the red-gold pupils in your eyes... why are they so similar to that person's?

Lena didn't react for a moment, her spoon was taken away, and the matcha parfait prepared for Chitose was also taken away.

When he reached out to grab the matcha parfait, it was too late. The girl drank up both the melted part and the intact part...

"It's delicious! Thank you for the treat."

The girl's short white hair fluttered in the wind, and she was as lively and cute as an elf.

After eating, she raised her head like a cat, stretched herself and pressed against Kaname Lenai's face.

"What's that, yummy?"

"Who are you...how could you do this? I prepared that for Chitose-nee."

Lenai was very angry.

But after looking at the girl's face a few more times, he was speechless.

Those little complaints hidden in my heart turned into sobs, gurgling in my throat.

The girl looked exactly like Noshiro Chitose.

It’s not that I can say that, it’s just... they really look too similar.

[She's just a size smaller than Chitose Noshiro! ]

"Huh, but I'm so hungry! Don't be stingy and eat some of your food, huhuhuhu."

The girl is more clingy and outgoing than a cat. After eating Lenai's food, she even hugged Lenai.

This wild cat that suddenly jumped out... actually also had the scent of cherry blossom perfume on it.

The shackles of memories that had been buried for many years loosened at this moment, and Lenai didn't even notice when the guitar fell from his hand.

"Hey, hey, hey! I know I'm cute! But how can you be so stunned? You don't even want the guitar!"

Thanks to the quick eyes and hands of the girl with white hair and red eyes, Lenai's guitar was saved from falling.

"fine."

Lenai took a step back, but was pulled right back.

The girl patted her on the back of the head and spoke in a calm tone:

"Hey! You've grown up! You're fourteen this year, right? That's amazing! You're pretty good at playing the guitar too, right?"

"I…"

Lenai remembered that he seemed to have seen the person in front of him there.

But...I can't remember.

She is not Chitose Noshiro.

She is definitely not Chitose Noshiro.

Chitose Noshiro is dead, and her story has ended long ago.

But why does she look exactly like Noshiro Chitose?

"Um, uh, do you still have that soft, cool thing? I want more! Please treat me!"

It’s really a wild cat... It actually eats and takes things at the same time, that’s too much.

Yao Le Nai reached out and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. She didn't want to look at the other person again to avoid recalling the bad memories.

But Chitose moved closer to Lenai and pressed the tip of her nose against Lenai's.

"If you take me out for a nice meal, I'll let you treat me to a nice meal and give me a place to stay. How about that?"

Where did these unfair terms come from? This is clearly not a good deal.

But Lenai just couldn't refuse it outright.

She fumbled for the remaining pocket money in her pocket, and finally muttered with a dark look in her eyes:

"It's really, really similar."

……

Really, they are so similar.

At SPACE, Lena ordered a matcha parfait for Chitose.

She didn't order anything for herself because she really didn't have much money left.

"Thanks for the treat! Ooooh! It's delicious!"

"..."

Many people who know Kaname say that she is like a cat.

Of course, some rude guys would call her a wild cat.

But when Kaname met the girl in front of her, she finally understood what a "cat" was.

"I say, why do you want to visit Sister Chitose?"

Lenai took a deep breath, and every scent her nose could detect was similar to the scent she remembered from Chitose Noshiro.

She didn't dare to smell it too much now. She was afraid that the scent of the girl in front of her would dilute the scent in her memory and make her unable to recall the feeling she had before.

"To visit her. After all, she's a very powerful person. The first thing I did when I arrived in Tokyo was to visit her."

"What? Um... I don't understand. Please explain in more detail."

"No."

The white-haired girl winked playfully and pushed the empty cup towards Kaname Rakuna.

"Unless you order me another drink."

"Any other requests?"

"For now... I can't think of it. Oh. Now I remember."

The girl put her hands on her hips, jumped up from the chair and lay in Kaname Rana's arms.

"I need a place to stay, give me a place to stay! I mean it."

"Why are you so enthusiastic towards me when we are obviously not familiar with each other?"

"It doesn't matter if we're not familiar with each other. You look like the type of girl who would feed stray cats, so I think you'd feed me too."

What kind of heresy is this? Bullying honest people?

Lenai helplessly called the waiter again. She could no longer follow Chitose's example to pay, so she could only shamefully choose to keep the bill.

She watched helplessly as the other party finished her cup of matcha parfait. After the girl had eaten and drunk her fill, Lenai continued to ask questions with a frustrated look.

She has become a domestic cat tamed by Chitose Noshiro.

Faced with this wild cat in front of me, I really feel helpless.

"That's too much. This is my first time treating someone."

The first time I invited someone I didn’t know well to dinner, all I wanted was for them to talk to me for a few more words.

Yao Lenai, you are in such a mess.

"You're welcome. It's your pleasure."

Chitose puffed out her chest proudly and pointed at the other person's guitar:

"Now! Take me back to your house. I want to live there, and I want you to play guitar for me."

"How can this be..."

"Hehe, I'm just a bad guy. If you don't like it, you can just stay away."

"..."

Lenai did not choose to leave, and finally said:

"At least... tell me your name."

"Ah... this!"

Chitose turned away and began to introduce himself naturally:

"My name is Chitose Haizuka. Please feed me a lot! Because I'm very cute."

Ch365. It seems familiar, but you can't be her

Today is the day that Chitose Noshiro passed away.

Someone once said that death is not the end, being forgotten is.

Now, as the name Chitose Noshiro is gradually forgotten, her second death, that is, social death, has begun.

Yoranai originally thought that she would not meet anyone who came to pay tribute to her sister Chitose today.

only--

"That's not the case."

She met a girl who looked exactly like Noshiro Chitose, and she had even met her before... ah, now I remember, it was a long time ago.

At Chitose's funeral.

At Hichitsugi's funeral ceremony, Lenai saw a child about her age.

Today, Chitose Haizuka said that she has grown taller... It seems that she remembered herself at that time.

It's normal for her to remember herself. When she inherited everything from Chitose Noshiro, it caused a lot of uproar. Many people said that Rakuna was Chitose Noshiro's illegitimate daughter.

At that time, the child only left a back view to Yao Lenai.

At that time, Lenai was also immersed in sadness and shock, and had no energy to care about anyone else.

But she really didn't expect that the other person would look so similar to Noshiro Chitose... and they were both called Chitose, so was it because they were related by blood?

"Don't sleep anymore, we're almost at the station."

There were no extra passengers on the tram, perhaps due to the awkward time period.

The students who have returned home have already arrived, while the office workers have not yet left work.

Lenai's call was of no use to the girl, Chitose was still sleeping soundly on Lenai's shoulder.

She even drooled crystal clear saliva.

"..."

Lenai didn’t dare to disturb the other person anymore. The girl slept so comfortably and peacefully... Why was that?

Are you really not afraid that she's some weird villain? Aren't you afraid that she'll be kidnapped and sold for cash?
