The strength was just right, neither too light nor too heavy. Huibara drank hot cocoa while being massaged by her daughter, and she felt very relaxed, which was a rare feeling.

Kazama Toori's slender fingertips gently stroked Huibara's exposed neck, wiping the slightly cold skin, and he couldn't help but want to play a prank.

After a while, Huihara felt an itch on her neck.

"I asked you to massage me, not to bite me. Are you protesting?"

Huibara patted Kazama Toori's little head in confusion.

Although the bite was light, she didn't like it.

Kazama Toori looked a little regretful, her waist slightly bent forward, and her head rested on Huibara's shoulder:

"Sleep with me tonight."

"Can't you sleep on the sofa?" Huibara said coldly.

"I rarely go home." Fengjian Tongzhi said pitifully.

Huiyuan looked at her for a while, but in the end he couldn't do anything about her, so he sighed and said:

"Don't get too close to me, it's very hot at night."

Kazama Toori immediately revealed a smug smile, and moved closer, rubbing her face gently against Haibara's, making Haibara feel like she was raising a puppy.

It's really not like her...

Huibara is the type who is not very good at getting close to people.

But Kazama Toori is the kind of cotton jacket that sticks to the body.

It can feel very hot in the summer.

…………

At night, the two of them slept in the same bed for the first time in a long time. In the middle of the night, Huibara felt a little hot. She slowly opened her eyes and found that it was her daughter who had hugged her again without her knowing.

I'm going to go out and play with this little guy again tomorrow.

Haibara blinked sleepily, leaned forward a little, hugged the pajamas-wearing Toori Kazama, and kissed the little girl gently on the forehead.

Then, the little ghost, who was still asleep, stuck even closer.

"Um... Lily..."

"?"

This little kid, how could he be so disrespectful? Why was he calling her name in the dream?

Huiyuan had no idea what this little girl was thinking about all day long.

She rubbed her eyes, gently pushed away Kazama Toori's arm, then got up from the bed and wanted to go to the bathroom.

Then, she soon heard footsteps, turned around and saw it was Chika Sakaki.

It seemed like this little guy just woke up in the middle of the night and was still a little groggy.

Chika Sakaki was sleepy. When she saw Huibara, she slowly walked over, hugged Huibara, and said incoherently:

"Teacher...you're back..."

Haibara was a little confused, but she still touched Chika Sakaki's head.

"Didn't you sleep well?"

Perhaps because she had just woken up, Huibara's tone was a little gentler than usual.

"I had a nightmare..."

Chika Sakaki seems to be in a bad mood.

This reminded Haibara of when Kirori was a child, she would often wake up in the middle of the night because of nightmares.

At that time, she had just adopted Kirio, and Kirio often had nightmares about her parents.

Chika Sakaki might be similar to this.

Although it was very quiet when I stayed at her house these days, I probably didn't feel safe.

"If you feel bad, you can talk to me."

Huihara patted her on the back.

"Um..."

Chika Sakaki seemed to be saying something, but Haibara couldn't hear clearly, so she lowered her head and moved closer, and then she felt a peck on her face.

Haibara was stunned for a moment, then looked at Chika Sakaki and saw that the little girl was blushing slightly.

This little girl...is she also the clingy type?

Chika Sakaki didn't continue talking, but just lowered her head and continued to hug Haibara.

She seemed to hear Chika Sakaki whispering:

"Teacher... I will repay you like your daughter in the future..."

"Uh...ok?"

Huiyuan felt that this little girl was quite grateful.

Chapter 38 Kirishima Hina

Sunday is usually the day when Kirishima Ai goes out to do odd jobs alone, but today is special. She did not go to work, but went to a hospital far away from home alone.

This is a private hospital in Fengyuan City. It was invested and established by Hongshang Fund and has world-class medical equipment and medical technology.

After locking her bicycle, she skillfully entered the hospital alone and took the elevator to the fourth floor.

It is nine o'clock in the morning. The sunlight outside the window shines into the hospital corridor. It is a little quiet, with only an occasional nurse passing by.

Kirishima Ai walked to the end of the corridor, holding a bag of snacks in one hand and a small bag in the other.

She walked to the innermost door and gently pushed it open.

Inside the ward, the curtains had been drawn at some point, and the light inside was dim, with only a gap through which one could vaguely see a glass bottle containing dead daffodils.

In the corner of the ward, on a pure white bed, a thin girl sat there quietly, without saying a word, her black hair slightly covering her eyes, staring calmly at the dead flowers on the windowsill.

This ward seemed a bit cold. Kirishima Ai was wearing a short-sleeved shirt. It was still a bit hot outside, but she felt cold here.

I looked up and it seemed like the air conditioner wasn't on.

The girl on the hospital bed seemed not to notice Kirishima Ai's arrival.

"Hina."

Kirishima Ai said softly.

The girl reacted and slowly turned her head. Her expression did not change at all. She just looked at Kirishima Ai quietly.

The girl was wearing a hospital gown. She was very thin and her skin was too pale, giving her a thin and broken feeling. She had very long black hair, and her face beneath her hair looked very similar to Kirishima Ai.

She is Kirishima Ai's younger sister, Kirishima Hina.

Kirishima Ai came here today to visit her.

Her sister has to come here for hospitalization every once in a while, otherwise she can't even walk or move.

But until now, no one knows what disease she has.

Because it was caused by a weird incident.

Whether we asked Dr. Hong Shang or Dean Roland, their answer was that there was no complete cure.

In the ward, the silence lasted for a while, and Kirishima Ai spoke again:

"Sister is here to see you."

Hina nodded.

Kirishima Ai walked over and sat next to her bed, placed the bag of snacks on a chair nearby, and placed the small bag on the table.

"The curtains aren't drawn yet. Did you just wake up?"

He reached out and gently stroked Hina's hair.

Hina shook her head:

"I'm not in a good mood...I don't want to open the curtains."

Recently, Hina seems to have become a little quiet.

I heard that her condition has worsened. She used to only need to be hospitalized once every two and a half months, but now it’s only been half a month since her last hospitalization.

No one in the family knew what to do.

"Did you have a good meal yesterday?"

"I've had dinner."

"Are you feeling unwell?"

"I threw up last night."

Kirishima Ai was silent for a while, then opened the bag on the table, which contained a small cake.

The things in the bag were all bought with the money she earned from working part-time.

"Sister bought the strawberry cake you said you wanted to eat last time. Do you want to try it now?"

Kirishima Ai patted Hina's head.

Hina nodded, then Kirishima Ai opened the plastic box and handed Hina a small fork, and Hina looked at the cake curiously and then dug into it slowly.

She didn't eat it immediately, but cut the cake into pieces and placed them in small plastic boxes.

After the cake was divided, she picked up a piece and carefully put it into her mouth:

"........."

Hina chewed the cake slowly and then swallowed it.

"Is it tasty?"

"good to eat."

The younger sister nodded, and then obediently ate the next piece. Kirishima Ai just watched her eat the cake. After a while, Hina asked:

"Sister, how is little Zhuhong?"

Little Zhuhong is a fledgling bird.

It is said to be vermilion, but in fact only the top of the head has a few red feathers, and the rest is white.

The reason why it is called Vermillion is because the protagonist of the cartoon they watched when they were young was called Magical Girl Vermillion.

Kirishima Ai doesn't know much about the bird because it's being raised by its mother.

She hasn't seen her mother for a long time.

"It's mom who is taking care of little Zhuhong. I'll ask mom for Hina later."

Hina nodded slightly.

After a while, watching Hina slowly finish the cake, Kirishima Ai held her face and asked her gently:

"Wouldn't you like to watch some TV?"

"Look."

Kirishima Ai turned on the small TV in the ward.

There happened to be a program about magical girls.

Magical girls are one of the hottest topics on the Internet. Ever since the existence of magical girls was confirmed, there have been many more shows about them on TV.

The show currently being broadcast happens to be a TV show about the magical girls of Maple Plains City.
