I am the emotional sustenance of your deceased

"Xiao Xiang... wuwuwu... It's so dark... I'm so scared, come and save me..."

The sister's wailing was heartbreaking. Xiangzi's fingernails almost dug into her palms, but she was really powerless to do anything.

The dizziness ended, and the night's wind and waves made her uneasy.

When Xiangzi found that his stiff limbs could move, he continued to climb up without hesitation.

Climbing to the end of the ladder, she opened the glass window as wide as possible and threw a rope inside.

The end of the rope was tied to the handle of the glass window, and when everything was ready, she shouted again:

"Xiao Sui! Climb up the rope quickly! I'm here! I'm here to rescue you!"

【I will never abandon you! 】

"I, I can't reach it...Xiao Xiang, the rope is too short for me to grab. It's still a long way away from me."

Just hearing his sister's voice made Xiangzi feel desperate, but things were not over yet and there was still hope.

"Xiao Sui, wait for me, I'll go get someone!"

The feeling of uneasiness never left, and Xiangzi's hands trembled more and more violently.

[No, calm down, it's not that bad.]

If we can find the adults, all our problems will be solved! If we can find the adults! If we can find...

While climbing down, Xiangzi missed a step and stepped heavily on the lower level. The ladder fell backwards at the moment of collapse.

"Ah! Ah!"

There was a loud bang, and after the dust settled, Shoko Toyokawa struggled to move the ladder away.

"Xiao Xiang! What's wrong with you, Xiao Xiang... Are you still there?!"

【I…】

Toyokawa Shoko wanted to speak but found that she could not utter a word.

Her vision was getting darker, so that she couldn't see anything clearly.

"I…"

[No, I hit my head—I’m about to faint.]

I can't faint, Xiaosui is still waiting for me to save her.

That child is most afraid of the dark. If we leave her here alone...

After struggling to stand up and take a few steps, Xiangzi staggered back a few steps and fell down again.

"hiss."

My calf hurts so much, it might be broken.

[No, I have to go find an adult... I... I can't fall here! ]

Shoko Toyokawa's fingernails were embedded in the soil. She tried to crawl back but the pain only got worse.

As she was fading away, she continued to crawl forward, murmuring:

"Help us..."

Her voice quickly faded.

She vaguely saw someone walking towards her and wanted to ask for help but she was still unable to think.

Shoko Toyokawa completely lost consciousness, and her brain stopped functioning in a golden color.

That's the way it is.

……

Ruoye Mu leaned against the stove, holding a cup of hot cocoa in his hand.

She had no feelings for the hot cocoa, but it was warm, just like her year-old little hands.

"Huh...Xiao Sui."

The night was getting darker and darker, and even the chirping of birds outside the house could no longer be heard.

The moon curled up behind the clouds like a frightened little animal. Ruo Yemu had been waiting here for a long time.

"No news yet?" She turned her head to look at the maid beside her and asked, feeling anxious.

Xiaosui and Xiaoxiang, I hope they won't get into trouble.

"There is news, but Miss Toyokawa-san and Miss Toyokawa-san have already gone to rest."

"Ah, you're back already?"

He took a sip of the sweetness in the cup, put the hot cocoa on the table and ignored it.

Ruo Ye Mu wanted to go up to the attic to visit the Fengchuan sisters, but after thinking it over, he decided not to disturb them.

too late.

"Well, okay, I'll go rest now. Thank you for accompanying me for so long."

She took one last look at the maid with silver hair and golden eyes, and her heart found a rare peace.

[The wildflowers are already on the windowsill. They will become dried flowers in a few days.]

This memory that she and I share will be solidified into eternity by me.

【so good. 】

Good night, Xiaosui.

……

Good night, everyone.

“Here, the story changes.”

Inside and outside the warehouse, there was complete silence, and only Qiansui could be heard muttering silently:

"Now, let's activate the special feature..."

The little moonlight left outside the house was completely covered, and the golden light in Qiansui's eyes was the most dazzling in the night.

……

[Succession: Unlimited number of uses. After use, this ability affects your mental state, causing your own Sanity to decrease continuously while also slightly reducing the Sanity of your family member (Special Toyokawa Shoko).]

Ch456. Unfortunately, she was unable to wipe away her tears

Sweet dreams don't bother me.

Because at least dreams are beautiful, and I have accepted the fact that dreams will eventually end.

The only thing that can kill me is a nightmare.

Nightmares opened my wounds again and again, making me powerless when I wanted to escape from all the pain I had experienced briefly through sleep and coma.

Shoko Toyokawa is in terrible shape.

The nightmare haunted her, making her realize that she was trapped in a nightmare and could do nothing about it.

In her dream, she was still outside Mr. Wakaba's warehouse next to Wakaba's house in the suburbs.

The disc in her arms was casually placed at the door of the warehouse, and she crawled on the ground, not knowing where to go.

I want to rescue my sister, but she doesn't like dark environments and is afraid of being alone... What she fears most is that I am not by her side.

But she can't save them by herself...she can only look for the adults.

But, she really couldn't move.

So in the dream, Toyokawa Shoko could only stand there and try her best to move her body with multiple fractures but she was completely unable to walk.

"Woo..."

Qiansui's cries reached her ears through the heavy iron door, making Xiangzi even more painful.

【don't want…】

Who will save us...

don't want…

"No!"

……

"No!"

Shoko Toyokawa suddenly opened her eyes and found the ceiling extremely unfamiliar.

The faint smell of disinfectant enveloped her senses. She subconsciously wanted to move her limbs, but the pain instantly hit her and made her sweat.

"I, I'm..."

[Is this a hospital?!]

"Xiao Xiang? Are you awake? Great..."

My mother's voice came from the side, full of surprise and joy. I could feel her excitement just by listening to it.

"Mother? I..." Xiangzi's neck was trapped and she couldn't twist it at all. Her eyeballs rolled around in her sockets. She could barely see her mother clearly.

"Xiaoxiang... Mommy is so worried about you. You've been in a coma for five days. Woo——"

A mother's helpless cry is one of the most heartbreaking things in the world. Xiangzi racked her brains to think of words to comfort her mother, but her concern for her sister forced her to say something else.

"Mom, Mom..." Xiangzi changed the name. She rarely spoke to her mother in such a coquettish way. "What's wrong with me? How old am I? Where is my sister now?"

Toyokawa Mizuho sobbed for a long time. After wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes, she reluctantly opened her pale lips.

"You fell from a great height. It was already the next day when we found you. You had... multiple fractures and a mild concussion..."

Having said this, Mizuho could no longer speak. An emotion called self-blame enveloped her heart.

"..."

Physical pain never deterred Xiangzi, but she had already guessed what was happening with her sister.

[Is my mother subconsciously avoiding the question of age? Is her situation even worse than mine?]

"Mom... please," a chill ran down her spine into Toyokawa Shoko's mind, and she bit her lips tightly.

"Where is Xiaosui now?"

"She hasn't woken up yet, she..."

Mizuho Toyokawa didn't want her daughter to worry, and she was really unsure whether she should explain everything to Xiangzi.

Chitose's situation...

After hesitating for a long time, until the tears dried on her cheeks, Mizuho Toyokawa finally made a decision.

If he didn't tell her, Xiangzi would always live in worry, which would be detrimental to the child's recovery.

But having said that...never mind, let's use some kind modifiers to soften the cruelty of the facts.

"She hasn't woken up yet, but it's not a serious problem... It's not a serious problem. Um... It's not serious."

By repeating "The problem won't be serious", Mizuho was comforting and hypnotizing herself rather than trying to convince Xiangzi.

No one wanted the children to be safe more than she did. Not even Xiangzi could be more worried.

"Ah...that's good...I..."

Just when Shoko Toyokawa was about to say something, the doctor knocked on the door.

Shoko Toyokawa watched her mother leave, and the nurse who was responsible for taking care of her also entered the room.

"Xiaoxiang, wait for mom here. Mom will be back soon."

"I...Okay, Mom—"
