Lonely Rock for the Blind

.........

night.

"Hey, this is my first time sleeping with someone other than my family."

On the bed, Ijichi Hongxia, who was wearing pajamas, seemed a little excited.

"Hey! Kitten! Have you ever slept with a friend before?"

"the first time."

Nekoyashiki Haru said, shaking his head.

The purple pupils sparkled in the moonlight at night.

"I don't think I've ever slept with anyone else."

"... "

Ijichi Hongxia blinked.

"Do kittens often not see their parents?"

"Can't see it."

Nekoyashiki Haru said.

"Hey...where did they go?"

"It's a very far place, you have to take a plane to get there."

"I've never been on a plane! Your parents are amazing! Why do they go so far away?"

"…make money."

Nekoyashiki Haru said.

"Food, drinks, clothes, and tuition fees are all paid for by the money they earn."

Ichichi Hongxia tilted her head.

"But my parents also have to earn money to provide me with food, drink, clothes, and school fees, but they are always with me."

"...the situation is different."

Nekoyashiki Haru turned his head away.

Ijichi Nikka came over and hugged Nekoyashiki Haru.

"What's the difference?"

With the curiosity that is unique to children, Ijichi Hongxia continued to ask.

Nekoyashiki Haru turned around and looked at Ijichi Nikka.

"…I don't know either."

"Ok?"

"I don't know exactly what they do, so I can't answer you."

"That's right..."

Ichichi Hongka is next to Cat House Shiki Haru.

After the two of them were silent for a while, Ijichi Hongxia suddenly raised her head.

Then he asked through gritted teeth.

"I still can't get over it! Kitty, isn't my sister really that mean?"

"I do not know."

Nekoyashiki Haru opened his eyes and shook his head.

"She said she'd lie to me again next time!"

Ijichi Hongxia buried her head in the pillow.

"It wasn't like this before...it was all bands!"

"... "

Nekoyashiki Haru tilted his head and thought for a moment, then spoke.

"It's okay, I'll be with you later."

"I know! Because Kitty is with me today!"

Ijichi Hongxia looked up and said seriously.

"By the way, why do you call me Kitten?"

Nekoyashiki Haru was confused.

"Because it's cute!"

Ijichi Nikka cupped Nekayashiki Haru's face.

"Kittens are as cute as kittens can be!"

"... "

Nekoyashiki Haru opened his mouth.

"You can call me by my name...Qing..."

"But I think kittens are better!"

"Ugh…"

Nekoyashiki Haru sighed.

"It's up to you then."

"hey-hey…"

Ijichi Hongka released her hands from holding Nekayashiki Haru's face and lay down on the bed.

"Kitten, why are the stars so bright?"

"…because the stars are actually stars countless light years away…"

"I don't understand what you're saying!"

Ijichi Hongxia shook her head.

"I heard that the dead turn into stars in the sky. Because they want to see their loved ones on the ground in the darkness, they shine super hard, and that's why the stars are so bright!"

"... "

Nekoyashiki Haru blinked.

“Are there any stars looking at me?”

Ichichi Hongxia tilted her head.

"For example, my ancestors from long, long ago!"

"ancestor?"

"Hmm... maybe a samurai! One man! One sword, kill all the treacherous ones!"

"…Are you talking about your sister?"

"If she continues to be so treacherous! She might be chopped down like straw by a warrior like that!"

The ahoge on Ijichi Hongxia's head twirled for a moment.

"And after they're done, the samurai will say something like, 'I just cut another meaningless thing...'"

Click.

The door suddenly opened.

"I'm sorry, Hongxia, our family probably doesn't have such an ancestor."

The yellow-haired woman came over.

"Mother?"

Ichichi Hongxia tilted her head.

"It's mom... You guys aren't asleep after all."

The woman put her hands on her hips.

"I was thinking you guys might be too excited to sleep, so I came to check... and it turns out that's what happened. You have to go to school tomorrow."

"Woo..."

Ijichi Hongxia pouted.

"If you can't sleep, do you two suggest I sleep with you?"

The woman smiled.

"Ok?"

Nekayashiki Haru blinked, and before she could react, the woman walked to the bed and picked her up.

"... "

The cat named Yashiki Haru, who was used to being held, had a helpless look in his eyes.

“Hey…”

The woman crawled to the position between the two men, then opened her arms and hugged them both tightly.

"Go to sleep quickly, we have to go to school together tomorrow."

"Are Kitty and I in the same school?"

Ijichi Hongxia asked.

"Yeah, it's the same school. Probably the class next door, right?"

The woman nodded.

Then he looked at the cat named Haru next to him.

"Xiaoqing, can you sleep? If you can't, I can tell you a story."

"... "

Nekoyashiki Haru blinked.

An inexplicable sense of security came from the woman's arms around him.

An inexplicable and fresh feeling of security.

Nekayashiki Haru gently hugged the woman's arm.

“…I can sleep.”

Chapter 194: Autumn Flowers (4) [Return]

When did I start to get used to this kind of life?

Whether it is to integrate into their warmth or watch them quarrel from time to time.

Everything seems completely different from my previous life.

Nekoyashiki Haru doesn't actually have much real feel.

It's like a dream, or maybe a drama?

She descended like a deus ex machina, bringing herself into a completely different world.

Warmth...coziness...an enviable life.

The cat Yashiki Haru was slightly dazed with a piece of bread in his mouth.

Ijichi Seika, who was standing next to him, gently tapped Nekayashiki Haru on the head.

"What are you daydreaming about?"
