In the anime, cultivating a girlfriend starts from childhood

"Why did Senxia roll around on the ground as soon as I walked in?"

Hearing this, Nibutani Morika jumped up from the sofa as if she had been electrocuted.

"Ryosuke, my parents are out, so I'm the only one at home during this period of time."

"and then?"

"I'll stay at your house for the time being. Wasn't it the same before? When my parents are out, I'll come to your house. When Sister Jing is not around, you can come to my house, hehe~"

Nibutani Morika had a sly smile on her face, as if her conspiracy had succeeded.

In response to her, Ryosuke raised two fingers.

"Ah! You poked me again!"

Nibutani Morika covered her forehead and cried out in a tender voice.

"Are you stupid? We are already in junior high school, not elementary school. How can we still sleep together?"

Hiratsuka Ryosuke replied coldly.

When she was a child, Sister Jing had to go to school and sometimes would go back to Chiba, leaving Ryosuke alone at home.

So Ryosuke would occasionally go to the next door to eat and drink.

When I’m tired, I just sleep on Senxia’s bed.

But that was when they were children. Now they are all grown up, and Ryosuke can't completely look at Morika with the eyes of his childhood.

After all, this childhood sweetheart is still a very cute girl when she doesn't speak.

A girl who even made him, who was usually cold, fall in love with.

"Well, okay, I'm going back."

Senxia pursed her lips, like a deflated ball, and said with a lost look on her face.

Her energy seemed inexhaustible, and she quickly recovered her spirits, saying in a vigorous voice: "How about we go out to see the cherry blossoms tomorrow? Ask Glass and Fairy to go with us!"

The Cherry Blossom Festival is a very traditional festival in Neon.

It doesn't refer to a specific day, but from March to April every year.

Friends and family get together, bring food, and have a picnic under the cherry trees to enjoy the flowers.

Now is also the cherry blossom season in April.

Ryosuke turned his head to look at the pouring rain outside the window and said uncertainly: "If the weather is good tomorrow, we'll go."

"We can call up Naoko and Yuzuru, but forget about the fairy. She's been captured by the editorial department again."

"Okay~ I'll send a message to Nitro and the others right away."

After resting for a while, Morixia walked to the door.

"You must call me before you leave tomorrow, Ryosuke!"

Nibutani Morika put her hands on her hips, leaned forward, and said seriously.

boom!

As soon as the door was closed, the room became quiet again.

22 pm.

Ryosuke was wiping his knife after taking a shower.

The rain outside the window showed no sign of stopping, and from time to time a dull roar could be heard from the clouds.

Click.

There was a slight sound, and the room instantly fell into darkness.

Is there a power outage?

Boom!

There were lightning and thunder in the sky, and the heavy raindrops, like shining whips, came down from the sky and lashed the apartment building.

Ryosuke felt a palpitation in his heart, as if he suddenly thought of something, and instantly dropped the knife in his hand.

Rushed out the door.

Chapter 48 Even if it doesn’t rain, I’ll stay here

late at night.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, thunders rumbled one after another, and lightning flashed in the sky.

The strong wind chases the heavy rain, the heavy rain chases the strong wind, and the wind and rain join together to chase the dark clouds in the sky.

The whole world is in the rain.

Boom boom boom!

"Morinxia!"

In the corridor, the sound of rapid knocks on the door echoed in the hallway.

Ryosuke Hiratsuka knocked frantically on the door of the Nibutani household.

But there was no response at all.

The rain was getting heavier and there was no sign of stopping.

Ryosuke Hiratsuka regretted not letting Morika stay at his house tonight.

Seeing that no one answered the door when he knocked, he quickly ran to his balcony.

As soon as I opened the floor-to-ceiling window, the wind was whistling, thunder was rumbling in my ears, and raindrops as big as beans floated directly into the house.

Ryosuke Hiratsuka looked at the balcony of the Nibutani family and made a bold decision.

The two balconies are about two meters apart. Under normal circumstances, he could jump over without much effort.

But the heavy rain had already wet the railings, making them very slippery.

Coupled with the howling wind outside, the difficulty was much greater than usual.

He climbed up the fence carefully, held on to the railing tightly with his hands, slowly squatted down, and waited for the wind to die down a little.

After a gust of wind passed, the wind became much weaker.

Hiratsuka Ryosuke leaped forward with all his strength.

It landed directly on the balcony of the Nibutani family and rolled several times to relieve the force.

Because of the rain, the floor-to-ceiling windows of the Nibutani family were locked tightly and could not be opened from the outside.

"Senxia, ​​can you hear me?!"

Ryosuke tapped on the glass, but still no one responded.

He took off his shirt and wrapped it around his right fist.

He aimed at the glass near the lock of the floor-to-ceiling window and exerted force suddenly.

Snapped!

A crack appeared on the floor-to-ceiling window, and he struck while the iron was hot with another punch.

Wow!

The glass broke, he found the lock, opened the French window and walked in.

Because of the power outage, at this moment, there was nothing but silence and endless darkness in the Nibutani household.

Ryosuke Hiratsuka walked to Morika's room with ease and turned the doorknob.

Fortunately, the door was not locked, which made him feel relieved.

He walked into Senxia's room, which was still the familiar little girl's style layout.

But at this moment, Nibutani Morika was sitting alone in the corner of the bed.

He leaned against the wall, his eyes were lifeless and his face was as pale as paper.

Ryosuke Hiratsuka threw down the clothes in his fist, walked closer, and found that she was holding something in her arms.

It was an old picture frame.

Inside was a boy with a wooden sword and an expressionless face.

Next to the boy was a girl who was making a "V" sign with both hands and grinning.

Ryosuke Hiratsuka climbed onto the bed quietly and gently held Morika's head.

He stroked her brown hair with one hand and patted her trembling back with the other.

He whispered softly in Senxia's ear: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Hiratsuka Ryosuke wanted to take the photo frame from her hand so that he could hug her better.

As a result, he found that the other party was holding the photo frame tightly and refused to let go.

Her hands and feet were cold and her whole body was shivering.

Ryosuke gave up the idea of ​​taking down the photo frame and just hugged Morika again, motionless.

……

My thoughts drift back to three years ago.

It was also a night of thunder, lightning, wind and rain.

"Ryosuke! Do you know where Morika went?"

Mrs. Nibutani rushed into the Hiratsuka family with an anxious look on her face and asked with pleading eyes.

"I don't know. I just came back from Master's place with Sister Jing. I'm not with Mori Xia today."

Hiratsuka Ryosuke shook his head.

"Senxia, ​​she has been missing since the afternoon. It's raining so hard outside now. Where did this child go?"

Mrs. Nibutani cried out in a crying voice, looking distraught.

Senxia's father is busy outside all year round, and there is no backbone in the family.

She could only seek help from the neighbor who was closest to her daughter.

Since Mori Xia was young at that time, the case was dealt with quickly after Shizuka Hiratsuka called the police.

A large group of people went out to look for Senxia, ​​but still no news.

As time passed, it was already late at night.

Everyone's hearts were slowly sinking.

Eventually, Ryosuke Hiratsuka found Nibutani Morika in an abandoned park.

The petite Senxia was curled up in a horizontal cement pipe.

At this moment, she was shivering from the cold, her face was pale, and her eyes were dull.

"Morinxia!"

Ryosuke bent over with an umbrella in his hand, and shouted the girl's name inside the pipe.

The shout was like thunder, bringing Morixia back to his senses.

Her face was dirty, like a frozen stray cat.

Morika looked up and saw Ryosuke, and smiled as if she had survived a disaster.

"Ryosuke, I knew you would find me."

Her voice became a little hoarse because she hadn't drunk water for a long time, and she fainted after she finished speaking.

Ryosuke Hiratsuka returned home with the girl on his back, holding an umbrella that was blown all over the place by the wind.

Later he found out that it was Nibutani Morika who was playing hide-and-seek with a group of people.

But when the group saw that it was raining, they all went home and no one came to look for her.

At first, Nibutani Morika thought she had hidden well and was secretly proud of herself.
