I am the emotional sustenance of your deceased

She skillfully clamped her legs around the other person's waist and scratched his cheek with her hair.

"Hulu, why are you so soft? I love it, Lenai."

"But, we just met..."

"Unimportant numbers. I hate numbers. Numbers mean nothing."

Noshiro Chitose raised her finger to the moon and said in a cool and gentle voice:

"Since you like numbers, can you tell me how far we are from the moon?"

April and May, when summer is just around the corner, have become hot, and the girls stick together without feeling uncomfortable.

Lenai shook her head. She had no idea about these questions.

She's just a kitten who loves playing guitar but is badly defeated in the field of guitar.

"So, if you don't know, don't mention the numbers anymore."

Chitose opened his mouth and bit the side of Lenai's face, then quickly ran away.

"You have matcha parfait on your face. I've been craving it for a long time. Thanks for the treat."

"..."

Ch369. She slept peacefully for the first time in many years.

Is that a kiss?

But, so rude.

Yao Lenai looked at the other person's skillful movements as he entered the house, and the sense of familiarity in his heart surged again.

Chitose Haizuka's lips are so hot, just like Chitose Noshiro's.

Chitose Haizuka is very familiar with the interior of the house, just like Chitose Noshiro.

Chitose Haizuka...his guitar playing is so extraordinary that he doesn't seem like an ordinary person.

like...

"Noshiro Chitose is the same."

After you left, I met her.

But she is not you, and she doesn't need to be you.

But she is just like you, covered in memories.

When being hugged by "Chitose" again, Kaname Rakuna's mind was filled with only one thought.

[Since your name, appearance, and personality are similar, then you must be Chitose Noshiro.]

Never mind anything else.

You... are Chitose Noshiro!

Lenai hugged her knees and stared at her round and smooth toes.

Her toes were twitching like seaweed, and it was obvious that Lenai didn't like the feeling of having someone else in the house.

But Chitose Haizuka is an exception.

Chitose Haizuka was so important to her that Rakuna was really panicked when Chitose said she was leaving.

"Do you think death can separate people, Haizuka?"

Kaname Rakuna hid half of her body behind the door and whispered to Chitose in the room.

She didn't know what the point was in telling the other person.

But, I just want to get an answer from that face, that mouth, with that voice.

"I mean… well."

I don't know what to say, Huizuka, but I hope you can understand me and answer the questions I haven't made clear.

Pretty willful, right? But cats have the right to be willful too.

"I think it's quite the opposite, kitten. Death can bring people closer... yes, it can bring closer those who were separated in life."

"Hmm? Hmm."

Get closer?

Lenai tried to walk towards Chitose, and Chitose Haizuka, who was rummaging through the biscuit cabinet, stopped searching and ran towards Lenai.

"You want a hug? Come on."

After Noshiro Chitose died, Chitose did not leave Kaname Rakuna.

When Noshiro Chitose closed her eyes forever, the story of the new Chitose and the old Rakuna had just begun.

……

Take a bath.

Bathing cats and birds can be difficult.

Especially parrots.

Especially those stupid parrots...and wild cats.

A dull parrot is as hard to please as a wild cat. As for which is more formidable, it's hard to tell.

"To take a bath."

Kaname pointed in the direction of the bathroom and gave an order.

"No."

Chitose Haizuka sat on the ground playing with the hem of Rana's nightgown, completely ignoring what Rana said.

[What are you mumbling about? Stop moving around, you can't even smooth out the wrinkles on your skirt.]

"You can't go to bed without taking a shower."

Lenai had no choice but to try hard to act like an adult.

In her memory, this was what Chitose Noshiro had said to her.

Chitose Noshiro has never forgotten the teachings and lessons that Rakuna Kaname taught her, even though eight years have passed and she has almost forgotten most of them.

But Lenai still relied on the few memories he had to restrain his behavior.

She hopes that she can become Chitose Noshiro, and she has tried her best to achieve this goal.

"You're not allowed to sleep?" Chitose tilted her head, seeing the complex emotions in Lena's eyes, "If you don't let me sleep, I'll steal the ice cream from your freezer."

"Well."

He asked Rakuna to forcibly pick up Chitose Noshiro and push her into the bathroom.

The girl's clothes were covered with matcha parfait. It seemed that part of the melted matcha parfait she had drunk during the day was "eaten" by her clothes.

"You have to take a shower."

"Take a bath with me."

"I won't take a bath with you."

"Then I won't wash it."

"No, no no... No!"

"Huh... then take a bath with me."

"..."

Yao Le Nai originally wanted to continue saying "I don't want to take a bath with you", but when she thought that the other party would continue to beat around the bush with her, Le Nai felt tired for a while.

"Forget it... with you..."

boom--

Before Le Nai could finish her words, she was dragged into the bathroom.

All I could hear was the sound of water and the rustling sound of people taking off clothes.

"Wait, don't take it off."

"What are you afraid of? We're all girls. Let me see how little Lenai's body has developed over the years."

"Hmm? What's so good about it?"

"If you don't think it's good, you little cat can just not watch mine... double standard Lena."

"Nothing. Hmm... huh? Are you really not letting me watch it anymore?"

"Hoohoo, I'll cover it up, I'll cover it up."

The blurry figures gradually became more conspicuous under the bathroom heater. Chitose pulled the other person into the shower and enjoyed the long-lost steam and heat.

"Lena, why are you blushing?"

"I…"

……

Why am I blushing?

I do not know either.

But when I saw Chitose Haizuka blushing, I was stunned.

What a cute girl! Is this what Chitose Noshiro looked like when she was a child?

It's really unfair to act coquettishly and cutely with a face like that. She is so cute but also so willful, but she will never be offensive.

Is it because of the right degree of relaxation?

Maybe.

After all, she seems to be able to represent Qiansui... Every move, every frown and every smile is astonishing.

Le Na was lying on the bed, with Chitose Haizuka next to her.

After they helped each other wipe their hair, they blow-dried their hair together, like two white cats licking each other's fur.

"Something's wrong."

Always felt like a scam.

Lenai turned over and hugged Chitose Haizuka.

[It doesn’t matter even if it’s a scam.]

[Please, even if it's just an illusion...can you please not dissipate?]

Don’t leave me alone, don’t abandon me... You clearly said you would watch me grow up, so why did you leave first?

Chitose Noshiro is a big liar.

Chitose Noshiro...left and will never come back.

Noshiro Chitose, of evil nature...

But I like Chitose the most.

Burying her head in Chitose's long hair, Lenai quietly inhaled the other's scent.

It's a familiar smell, and it makes people feel at ease.

"Cat, your body is so soft. Do you like hugging me so much?"

"Ah."

Even though they've only known each other for a day, he's already developed a sense of dependence on Chitose.

Lenai knew that this was the slow burst of emotions that had been suppressed for many years, and all she could do was to restrain herself as much as possible.

But even if I try my best to restrain myself, it will still be the same as it is now.

Whenever he thought about the new Noshiro Chitose being by his side, his body would get hot and his heart would explode.

Please, don't tell me this is a dream.
