I am the emotional sustenance of your deceased

But when she thought of Shiina Tatsuki, who seemed to be living a miserable life and had to pick up scraps in abandoned buildings, Noshiro Chitose's heart was filled with an indescribable sadness.

Why is this idiot in such a mess?

Why did this idiot make me want to describe her as miserable over and over again today?

Chitose Noshiro patted Shiina Riki's shoulder for the last time, picked up her medical record and walked away.

They passed each other without having time to say "hello" or "goodbye".

"Wait... your name is..."

When Li Xi came back to his senses, Noshiro Chitose had already run away quickly.

All that was left for Shiina Riki was the emptiness in front of her and the emptiness in her heart.

Xiaosui...it's her, there's no doubt about it.

This is Noshiro Chitose...

Is this a reunion for them?

Does it count?

Reunion can be a continuation of friendship, family affection or love.

It may also be an opportunity to start a new story.

But if...

If you meet a stranger you know very well for the first time, can this encounter be considered a reunion?

If we have never met, then what is the point of our meeting again?

【if…】

Li Xi knelt down again in a daze, and looked blankly at the intersection where Qiansui disappeared.

"What was written on that piece of paper just now?"

It seemed like I saw the word "disease".

"Is Chitose really sick? But why is she still alive... In my dream, she was only fifteen years old..."

Could it be that Chitose Noshiro in the real world lived longer because she didn't have to worry about her, Tatsuki Shiina's affairs?

No, no, that's not necessarily a medical record. It's definitely not a medical record! It absolutely can't be!

Li Xi was even more confused.

She collapsed forward as if she had lost her spine, supporting herself on the ground with her forearms.

The ground was obviously very cold and rough. A normal person would feel uncomfortable lying like this, but Li Xi didn't feel anything at all.

"She's still alive... because of me? No... I... what am I thinking... No, no..."

Oh, it's good to be alive...

Chitose Noshiro is still alive, I should be happy for her.

Li Xi felt his eyes getting wet again.

【But why are you crying? 】

Is it because of regret?

right.

In a place that Lixi couldn't see, that is, the soles of her feet, there was still some violet juice left.

They dyed the gray soles a color that did not belong to the shoes themselves.

Following the original trajectory of life...

This sudden color, like the girl who suddenly broke into her life, should not exist.

"Woo..."

What a strong feeling of failure! She, Shiina Ritsuki, and Noshiro Chitose are actually just strangers!

It's quite interesting that I took those dreams seriously. Sure enough, my life is just like this...

"Hey! I say! Are you okay?"

"I just bought some wet wipes! Do you need them?"

Chitose Noshiro's words suddenly rang out from behind Ritsu Shiina, and Ritsu suddenly turned around.

Just like the scene when we first met.

"you…"

"It's me. Did I knock you down? Classmate, do you need me to help you get to the hospital?"

Noshiro Chitose smiled and helped Shiina Riki up again.

No matter how bad or despicable a woman is, she can never do such a disrespectful thing as to make a poor little girl cry on the side of the road!

No matter how bad she is, she is just a bad woman in the simulator!

Her heart will still beat like a normal human's.

Even though she was not sure half a day ago, but facing the lifelike Shiina Riki, she was able to represent Chitose and finally discovered that she was still, still a good woman!

"What's your name? I'm Noshiro Chitose."

I have never chatted with you, but as soon as you open your mouth, I will fall into false memories.

"My...my name is..."

Those hands are still as warm as they were at the beginning...that person is still shining like in the dream.

All of this can't be fake, right?

No! No...

At the very end, Shiina Riki's lips trembled slightly:

"My name is... Shiina Riki..."

Please take care of me. If we ever have any social interactions in the future.

Ch71.Arsenal, the Three Chens, or the destruction of Wu?

It was just a simple introduction and greeting between them. The contact between Chitose Noshiro and Riki Shiina was brief and calm. After helping Riki up, Chitose left without looking back.

All that was left for Shiina Riki again was a pack of wet wipes and an unforgettable image of his back.

"Really... it's Xiao Sui."

Only the clouds and the sun in the sky were listening to Lixi's whispers.

That's the way it is.

……

"Kyoto Haizuka, Tomo Takamatsu, Tachibana Shiina, Shoko Toyokawa..."

Walking on the way home with the hospital's physical examination form, Chitose Noshiro kept thinking about the people and things that had happened in the past few days.

Maybe it’s because I just finished the simulation, so I had some stress reaction in the morning.

Now I have calmed down.

If you take a closer look...

"I suddenly fell seriously ill, and then the system appeared like a timely rain. Then, in the first simulation, it guided and guided me. In the second simulation, it gave me ideas and help. In the third simulation, it fully cooperated with me, and I really fell into a state of [trying to find ways to manipulate the script]..."

It's really a perfect process of decline.

There are reasonable reasons and continuous support.

"It's hard for anyone not to fall into depravity... After all, at the end of life, not only is the physical pain unbearable, but the inner pain and unwillingness also increase the pressure."

So, everything I encounter and every person I meet are pushing me towards the end of becoming a bad woman.

Only conscience and true knowledge sway and hover on the bottom line, allowing oneself to have a little light to protect oneself in the darkness.

But what's the use of these?

"It's like I met Shiina Riki, but it's impossible for me to tell her what's in my heart... As the simulation progresses, many things will become powerless."

Instead of struggling, you might as well enjoy it all.

Simulation is just simulation!

Life expectancy will increase, personal abilities will be enhanced, financial pressure will be reduced, and my sister's illness will eventually be cured.

"Don't bother yourself with games! Phew..."

What she can finally gain on behalf of Qiansui must be a good ending!

Qiansui pushed open the door and tightened the remaining money in his pocket.

"Come on! Xiaojing! I'll take you on a trip!"

"Our family...is rich now!"

Kyomoto Haizuka was listening to the radio on the sofa.

"Eh?"

……

This was the first time in three years that Chitose Noshiro had been so well-off.

She took Kyomoto to the pier where He Deng had been, and then took Kyomoto to the beach where He Lixi had hiked.

This is a short vacation that can be taken on a whim, but it doesn’t really make any difference to Kyomoto.

Every day in Kyomoto is like a holiday, and this is the life he wants his sister to live.

"Did you have fun, Xiao Jing?"

Taking the little blind kid out to play is the only way to make him feel that he is still a normal human being.

Don't let a poor and fragile little girl know all the time that she is so abnormal. If you treat them as too special... that would be too cruel.

“It feels great!”

Although I can't see it!

Kyomoto was wearing a cute white dress, and she and Chitose were wearing the same outfit.

She kept holding her sister's arm and listened attentively to the beautiful sounds her ears caught.

"What's the difference between today's beach and yesterday's pier?"

"What a huge difference!" Kyomoto gestured towards the sun. "Yesterday at the harbor, I heard the sound of the sun bubbling... Today on the beach, all I hear is my sister's calm breathing!"

The sound of the sun bubbling?

Children have great imagination.

"Does Xiaojing like sunbathing? I'll take Xiaojing out more often in the future."

Qiansui's smile is gentle and plain. She only needs to slightly raise the corners of her mouth to make others experience the ultimate tenderness.

It’s a pity that Kyomoto can’t see it.

"Is that okay? My sister will probably be very busy..."

"I will be busy, but I'm only busy so I can spend more time with Xiaojing. If I neglect the people I care about just to be busy, then what's the point of being busy?"

I live for my lovely sister! Sisters are the best!

Chitose Noshiro took two to three days off between simulations to relax her mind, and her sister was the best medicine to cure all her pain.

They have been out for nearly three days, and now there is less than a week left before school starts.

Life has finally become lively again, and the coldness no longer belongs to the seriously ill girl who lost her parents and raised her younger sister alone.

Sitting on a beach blanket leaning against a palm tree on a deserted beach, Qiansui called out the system panel again after many days.

Come on! Now is the time… This way, when you’re done, you can still enjoy the sunshine on the beach with your little Kyoto in your arms!

The system loading sound quickly ended. Before the panel appeared, the system, which had been silent for a long time, slowly spoke:
