Lonely Rock for the Blind

"I'm glad you're okay. Everyone was worried about you."

"Are you worried about me too?"

Nekoyashiki Haru asked.

"Huh? This kind of thing... is only natural."

Ichichi Xingge turned her head away and said with a blushing face.

"But...why did you leave so suddenly?"

Ichichi Xingge turned her face away and asked.

"Um…"

Nekoyashiki Haru fell into deep thought.

"It's just... I suddenly want to go out for a walk..."

"lie."

Ijichi Hoshige softly interrupted Nekayashiki Haru.

Nekayashiki Haru was stunned for a moment, then sat up straight.

"Okay, that's a lie."

Nekoyashiki Haru lowered his head slightly.

at this time.

Click, click…

The waiter placed two cups of cappuccino in front of the two of them.

"Please enjoy."

Having said that, the waiter left, and as if as a signal, Ijichi Xingge spoke.

"I think I've guessed why..."

"... "

Nekoyashiki Haru turned towards Ijichi Hoshige without saying a word.

"Is it because of Hong Xia?"

“…not entirely…”

"That is, she is the main cause."

Ijichi Seige threw the keys onto the table.

"You figured it out, didn't you?"

"... "

"Oh...so you ran away?"

Ichichi Hoshige asked with a sidelong glance.

"Not entirely. At least at first I just wanted to go out and relax. After all, my mind was really confused when I found out."

Nekoyashiki Haru picked up the cappuccino in front of him.

"How did you get in? Why did you come in? Why did you do this? This is completely inconsistent with the behavior I remember Hong Xia doing..."

"Feel sorry…"

Ijichi Hoshika apologized to Nekoyashiki Haru.

"There's no need for you and Hongxia to apologize to me."

Nekoyashiki Haru shook his head.

"I think I should be the one to apologize."

"What a twisted logic..."

Ichichi Xingge grinned.

"I'm fine with you getting angry at Hong Xia."

“I think there’s something wrong…”

Nekoyashiki Haru sighed.

"I am the reason why Hong Xia behaved like this, right?"

”… ”

Ichichi Hoshige frowned.

"This is Hongxia's fault."

“…Then I’ll take some of it and shoulder it myself…”

Nekoyashiki Haru stood up.

"Sister Xingge, how is Hongxia doing recently?"

"It's wilted. The triangle that used to stand on its head has become like shrimp chips sticking to its head."

“…That’s really bad…”

Nekoyashiki Haru drank the cappuccino in the cup in one gulp.

"…So why did you stand up?"

Ichichi Hoshige raised her head and asked.

"It's the weekend, right?"

Nekoyashiki Haru asked.

"Ah."

Ichichi Hoshige nodded.

"Hongxia is at home, right?"

Nekayashiki Haru then asked.

Ijichi Xingge was stunned for a moment, then said.

"...I just came to you today to apologize on behalf of my sister. There's no other intention."

"Is that so... Then I'm asking you, my older sister, for help."

Nekoyashiki Haru clasped her hands together.

"Let me meet your sister."

"... "

Ijichi Hoshige looked at Nekoyashiki Haru. The boy with the broken purple eyes smiled. Even though he felt that smile had a strange heaviness to it, but...

"…I see."

Ichichi Hoshige stood up.

"Let's go."

"Ah."

Chapter 229 Selfishness

Floating ~ Floating ~

The yellow triangle piece floated gently on the hair, as if it wanted to stand up, but the next moment it was pulled down by gravity and stuck to the hair on top of the head.

Ichichi Hongxia wrapped herself in a quilt and curled up motionless.

The drawn curtains plunged the room into darkness, and the red eyes stared into the darkness.

Ijichi Hongxia thought that she might no longer have any strong emotional fluctuations.

Just like an annual herb, after blooming and bearing fruit, it begins to wither, and its life comes to an end at that moment.

"…ah…"

The girl let out a soft gasp.

I have to get up later...I don't want to get up...

As expected... I still...

dong dong dong...

The sound of knocking on the door made Ijichi Hongxia's heart tremble slightly.

She sat up and looked towards the door.

“…I’m not hungry…”

She said to the door of the room.

"Talking about being hungry or not...it's not about eating."

Ichichi Xingge said outside the door with her hands on her hips.

"... "

Ijichi Hongxia narrowed her eyes.

"So, sister...what's the matter?"

"Open the door first."

Ijichi Seika looked at Nekoyashiki Haru who was standing straight beside her, then turned to the girl in the room and said.

"You'll know once you open the door."

"... "

Ijichi Hongxia leaned back on the pillow behind her.

"The door is not locked...you can come in on your own."

After hearing this, Yidizhi Xingge was slightly stunned, and then said with a little dissatisfaction.

"Why don't you just come down and drive..."

Before he could finish his words, a hand suddenly rested on the door handle.

Ijichi Seika was stunned for a moment and looked at Nekoyashiki Haru next to her.

Nekoyashiki Haru quietly felt the cold temperature of the door handle.

Then he took a deep breath and turned the doorknob.

Click...

The door was pushed open, and the sunlight outside the living room flowed into the dark room.

The visible light illuminated the boy's figure, and Ijichi Hongxia on the bed opened her eyes wide.

The emotions that I thought had hit rock bottom began to fluctuate violently at this moment, surging like a wave.

Ichichi Hongxia opened her mouth.

"…kitten…"

"Hah...Good morning, Hongxia."

Nekoyashiki Haru let out a light breath and then greeted Ijichi Nikka.

“For…for…”

It took less than 5 seconds for Ijichi Hongka's expression to change from calm to dazed to the current confusion.

"Why are you here..."

Ijichi Hongxia asked in a trembling voice.

"I came to see you."
