Lonely Rock for the Blind

Then lowered his head.

"Ah...that's not..."

Goto Ichiri looked at Kita Ikuyo in confusion.

Isn't Kita... the Band Hunter? Or...

Goto Ichiri opened his eyes wide.

"... "

Ijichi Hongxia continued to lower her head.

Ijichi Hoshige frowned as she looked at Ijichi Hongxia.

And Daikoku Otomi in the corner tilted his head slightly.

Chapter 220: Biting the Hook

In the pitch-black room, Ijichi Hongxia wrapped herself in the quilt.

Outside the door, Ichichi Xingge clenched his fists, then slowly loosened them.

"Aha…"

Finally, she sighed and reached out to knock on the door.

dong dong dong.

"The door is unlocked."

Ijichi Hongxia sat up from the bed and said to Ijichi Xingge who was outside the door.

Click.

Ichichi Xingge walked in and was stunned.

"Why... do you have dark circles under your eyes?"

Under Ijichi Hongka's beautiful red eyes are dark circles that indicate lack of rest.

“…I’ve been having trouble sleeping lately.”

Ijichi Hongxia sat on the bed and hugged her legs.

"what…"

Ichichi Xingge reached out his hand, wanting to say something to comfort her.

But she didn't even know what exactly happened, so there was no comfort.

Then her hand returned to her head in mid-air.

Ichichi Xingge scratched his head and said.

"Is it because of Haru?"

"Um…"

Ijichi Hongxia nodded slightly.

"He'll be back soon, just for a few days. There's no need to be like this..."

"I don't care about that..."

Ijichi Hongxia lowered her head and buried her face.

"What's that for?"

Ijichi Hoshige tilted her head in confusion.

Ijichi Hongxia raised her head and looked at Ijichi Xingge.

Ijichi Hoshige's red eyes were also looking at him.

"I...I think...Kitten left now...because of me..."

"…you?"

Ichichi Hoshige blinked.

"why?"

"... "

Ijichi Hongxia didn't say anything.

"Did you do something?"

Yidizhi Xingge suddenly had a bad feeling.

"I…"

Ijichi Hongxia clenched her fists.

"It seems... wrong... nothing was found."

"Nothing? What do you mean?"

Ichichi Hoshige tilted her head.

"... "

Ijichi Hongxia pursed her lips, lowered her head and remained silent.

"?"

Ichichi Hoshige blinked.

"Why are you suddenly silent?"

she asked.

"... "

Ichichi Hongxia was silent.

"No, if you don't tell me, I won't understand!"

Ichichi Xingge said anxiously.

"But...I don't want my sister to understand this."

Ijichi Hongxia's muffled voice sounded.

“…What on earth just happened…”

Ijichi Xingge felt a little numb all over.

"...If my sister understands when she reaches my stage..."

Ichichi Hongxia said.

"... "

Ichichi Xingge twitched the corners of her mouth.

"Hongxia..."

"…Um?"

Ijichi Hongxia responded softly.

"You like Qing, right?"

Ichichi Hoshige said.

“…It’s so obvious, isn’t it?”

Ijichi Hongxia didn't try to hide it.

"So, you did do something, didn't you? Something that hurt him?"

"I don't!"

Ijichi Hongxia suddenly became excited.

"... "

Ijichi Hoshige's expression looked a little serious.

"I…"

Suddenly being looked at by her sister like this, Ijichi Hongxia's words stopped at her lips.

"If you did something to offend him, shouldn't you at least apologize?"

“…Apology…”

Ijichi Hongxia clenched her fists.

I wasn't discovered... Maybe I wasn't discovered, and the kitten might not know me...

But...but...now the kitten is scared away...

Ijichi Hongxia bit her lower lip.

"...Hongxia..."

Ichichi Hoshige frowned.

"what have you done?"

"…I…"

Ichichi Hongxia stretched out her hand towards Ichichi Xingge with trembling hands.

"?"

Ichichi Seika tilted her head in confusion.

The next moment, Ijichi Hongka opened her hands.

What appeared there was a key.

"... "

Ichichi Hoshige blinked.

"key?"

"Um…"

Ijichi Hongxia nodded.

"What does this... mean?"

Ichichi Hoshige continued to ask.

"This is the key to Kitty's house..."

Ijichi Hongxia lowered her head and said.

"...Qing...Did he give it to you? Or..."

"I made it secretly myself."

"!"

Ijichi Hoshige snatched the key from Ijichi Hongxia's hand.

"Hongxia!"

"... "

Ijichi Hongxia slowly withdrew her hand.

"You...why?"

"At first I just wanted to... take a look."

Ijichi Hongxia opened her mouth.

"But later on, it seemed like I wouldn't be discovered... I often went to Qing's house secretly, but the last time, it seemed... I was discovered."

"... "
