Chapter 97 Rain (Return)

"... "

Gently biting the pasta, Kita Ikuyo looked at the cat Yashiki Haru who was drinking water in front of her and narrowed her yellow-green eyes.

"Um, Senior..."

"what happened?"

Nekoyashiki Haru looked up in confusion.

"Don't you want to eat something?"

"I told you I've already eaten."

Nekoyashiki Haru shook his head.

"I can't eat anymore."

"The kind of bento you eat... a boy wouldn't be able to eat enough."

Kita Ikuyo picked up the menu.

"Order something, just treat it as eating with me..."

"Oh... what's that?"

Nekoyashiki Haru asked.

"Omurice?"

“It’s too much to eat.”

Nekoyashiki Haru shook his head.

"If you can't finish it, I'll help you eat it!"

Kita Ikuyo suddenly said a little excitedly.

"?"

Nekoyashiki Haru was stunned for a moment, but finally shook his head.

"No need, just give me some snacks or something."

"Hmm…how about Pepelo Puliplipiplipipipipupippo?"

“…What?”

"That's Pepelope..."

"No need to repeat yourself, just tell me what it is!"

"Fried potato balls."

"Why are fried potato balls called such a meaningless name?!"

"The restaurant thinks this name is more marketable, right? I actually think it's quite cute."

“…Then it’s fried potato balls.”

"It's Pepeloprip..."

"Here in my town, it's called potato balls."

"Ok."

Kita Ikuyo smiled helplessly.

In fact, the fried potato balls on the menu are just called fried potato balls.

She just said this name casually.

I just wanted to talk to Nekoyashiki Haru.

...

……

.........

In front of Nekoyashiki Haru's apartment.

The clouds in the sky gradually increased.

Ijichi Hongxia looked at the door in front of her, feeling uneasy.

At this time...the kitten should be asleep...

His daily routine is quite regular.

Ijichi Hongxia walked forward and put her ear to the door to listen carefully.

"No sound... He must have fallen asleep."

Ijichi Hongxia straightened up and took out the key.

"Huh... just... take a few pictures and go..."

The key is inserted into the keyhole, as if foreshadowing some future.

Click.

The door opened.

Ichichi Hongxia tiptoed into the room and turned on the flashlight on her mobile phone.

Gently pushing the door behind her, the blond girl walked towards the boy's bedroom with ease.

"...?"

However, when Yijichi Hongxia walked to the bed as before, she was suddenly stunned.

There was no one on the bed.

Where is the kitten?

Ijichi Hongxia blinked and then checked other parts of the house.

There was none on the sofa in the living room, nor in the bathroom, nor in the kitchen.

Not anywhere.

"...Kitten...isn't home?"

After realizing this fact, Ijichi Nikka looked out the window.

Then where did it go?

Snapped!

Turning on the light, Ijichi Nijinka sat down on Nekoyashiki Haru's bed.

The originally nervous mood turned into doubt.

Where can he go at this late hour? He is a blind man and he can’t go anywhere without anyone to guide him.

Ijichi Nikka fell onto Nekayashiki Haru's pillow.

“…smells like a kitten…”

Ijichi Hongxia hesitated for a moment.

Anyway... no one...

Ijichi Hongxia buried her face in the pillow.

“…Really, it smells like a kitten…”

After being slightly dazed for a while, Ijichi Hongxia took the quilt next to her, then turned over, clamped it between her legs, and buried her face in the quilt.

"... "

The blushing cheeks and gradually rising body temperature made Ijichi Hongxia want to fall asleep right there.

But she still had her sanity, and Ijichi Hongxia still didn't choose to close her eyes.

She climbed up and leaned against the bed behind her.

Then he made a call.

beep----

【Hongxia? What happened?】

The voice of the boy I had been thinking about day and night sounded in my ears. I smelled the scent of the boys around me and listened to their voices.

Ijichi Nikka felt that if she closed her eyes, she could imagine being hugged by Nekoyashiki Haru.

"Hey... I'm here to deliver the lunch. I made a little more today, so I was wondering if you wanted something to eat, kitty... but there was no answer when I rang the doorbell... Are you not home?"

The sound was a little intermittent, and Ijichi Hongxia was in Nekoyashiki Haru's room, making her whole state seem strange.

【I'm out having dinner with Yudai.】

Nekoyashiki Haru said.

"Little Kita?"

Ijichi Hongxia suddenly became alert.

[Yeah, I've already finished eating and am on my way back. Sorry, I might not be able to finish my lunchbox anymore...]

"Yeah, I know, I'll go back."

I won’t go back.

Ijichi Hongxia narrowed her eyes and hung up the phone.

"Let's find a place... and wait for the kitten to come back..."

Ijichi Hongxia was thinking, when suddenly, a strange sound attracted her attention.

Tick ​​tock…

Walk to the window and look out.

Tick, tick, tick.

The raindrops hit the ground and exploded with a bang. The street lights were reflected everywhere in the raindrops, like a handful of golden sand thrown into the dark night.

The rain formed a long string of flowers, first buds, then buds, and finally flowers.

Crash!

Turned into heavy rain.

“…it’s raining…”

Ijichi Hongxia opened her eyes wide.

Now I have even more reason not to go back...

Ijichi Hongxia's eyes darkened, then suddenly froze, and her eyes regained their brightness.

wrong! ! !

Maybe Kitty and Kitty didn’t bring an umbrella!

Ijichi Hongxia ran towards the door, then suddenly froze.

But I didn’t bring it?!

Does Kitty have an umbrella?

I don't know where to put it...

Call and ask?

Doesn't that directly reveal that I can enter Kitty's house?!

"First, let's look for an umbrella..."

...
