I am the emotional sustenance of your deceased

I opened the bag and took out my lunch. The fresh broccoli was disgusting, but my mother also prepared tempura!

So forgive the broccoli.

The afternoon breeze carried the cheerful laughter of girls in the distance, and Lixi savored his cold lunch box alone.

There was a microwave in the school, but Lixi was not familiar with the school environment and was too lazy to ask, so he just ate cold rice.

It’s not bad anyway.

After eating a few bites, Lixi stood on the stone bank by the lake and looked quietly into the distance.

What is my sister doing at this time? Will she prepare my favorite food for me when I get home?

My sister...

When he tried to turn around, his feet suddenly slipped and his body instantly lost balance. In the blink of an eye, Shiina Riki fell into the lake.

The lake was deeper than she had imagined. Lixi tried hard to suppress her inner panic, but she still couldn't stop her body from uncontrollably drifting away from the riverbank with the current.

The only thing she could do was to keep her head from sinking into the lake, but contrary to her wishes, her legs suddenly cramped at this moment.

【how so!】

I was just glad that I had found a place where there was no one, but now no matter how I called out, it was useless.

Pain spread across his calf, and Lixi was unable to stop himself from sinking.

[Sister! Mom! I…]

I’m not going to die here, am I?

「This kind of thing! Don’t do it…」

"Gulu gulu..."

An uncontrollable fall.

Li Xi didn't dare to make any unnecessary movements. She thought of the people she had seen on TV who fell into the water, some who drowned due to exhaustion, some who choked to death...

In short, hold your breath first, maybe your legs and feet will stop cramping after a while.

In the end, not even bubbles appeared on the surface of the water. Li Xi didn't dare to open his eyes. The lake water was so cold that even his heart felt chilled.

I…

But there was only a splash, and the water surface that should have calmed down began to ripple again. Shiina Riki felt something grabbing her hands!

She opened her eyes tremblingly. She could not see the light from above, as the underwater world was so strange, but she could barely make out something flashing.

What is that…?

So shiny.

What is that shiny thing?

Is it a fiery red gem? Why is there a golden glow emanating from it?

what…

His head seemed to be about to be crushed. Shiina Riki saw clearly what it was before losing consciousness.

It's the eyes.

These are the eyes of the person who rescued her.

There was a purity in her eyes that Li Xi had never seen before. Could it be that an angel came to pick her up?

I hope the angel can give her a chance to live forever.

Ch192. In the Rain, the Crow Girl in the Courtyard

"After the accident on the first day of elementary school, I stayed in the hospital for over a month. I had a fever, a lung infection, and even acute gastroenteritis, but in the end nothing serious happened."

Shiina Riki originally thought that the memory of this incident would be slowly sealed away, just like most other memories, which would gradually fade away until they were completely forgotten after not being mentioned frequently.

After all, the memories of that period are not good at all. I have nightmares every night, and there are actually very few things I can recall.

Her memory of that period was that she was discharged from the hospital in a daze, and after she was discharged and returned to school, her classmates were very concerned about her.

That period was actually quite happy.

Shiina Riki originally thought so and would no longer remember it.

Until the day in the second year of junior high school arrived.

……

When she encountered the devil, the girl opened her eyes in a daze.

After waking up, Li Xi felt as if his head was splitting open, as if a crack would appear on his forehead in the next moment and his brain would run out.

She paused for a moment before looking at the clock at the front of the classroom.

The second hand moves, and it is now five thirty-two.

"..."

Shiina Riki has fully awakened and is stretching her aching body. Her legs are numb from the pressure of her body being pressed forward.

"wrong…"

Li Xi questioned the time shown on the clock. If he remembered correctly, there was something wrong with this stupid clock and it couldn't be adjusted properly no matter how he adjusted it.

It should be slower than normal time

"Good, it's five thirty-five."

Shiina Riki fell asleep when school was over at three o'clock.

Because no one disturbed her, she managed to sleep until after five o'clock.

The setting sun before dark dyed Riki's clothes and her profile orange-red. The teardrop mole at the corner of her eye was very eye-catching, but this could not hide Riki Shiina's inner irritability.

Today is actually a very important day.

Her sister Maki Shiina will lead the Haneda Wind Ensemble to participate in the national competition, and the whole family will go to cheer for her sister's success.

But Lixi didn't want to go. She didn't want to go at all. This was definitely not just a little willful act of a younger sister.

Like her parents, she is happy for her sister, but she doesn't like others comparing her sister to her.

Those guys would sing praises of her sister's greatness, and then vaguely point out that Shiina Riki still needs to work harder.

Shiina Riki knows that she needs to work harder and study day and night to catch up with or even surpass her sister, but she doesn't want others to teach her without her own ideas.

That would be really too arrogant!

"Ugh."

I packed up my things and stretched my body. The sky outside was so beautiful that I could see the crumbling clouds from afar.

The fiery clouds are a symbol of happiness and peace.

Li Xi wandered slowly in the corridor. She felt that she was stalling for time, delaying the time to go home and face her sister and family.

Would they be disappointed in her? Would they think she was a rebellious child? But she didn't think so... Fortunately, her parents and sister were very understanding.

"But they are just too nice, which makes me feel childish and boring."

Li Xi really hopes that he can achieve something that will make his parents and sister proud!

I wish I could have the same leadership skills and strong musical talent as my sister.

If I could...

The empty and lonely campus was filled with only the rustling sounds of insects and the occasional snoring of a wild cat.

But as Lixi walked aimlessly into the depths of the campus, she suddenly heard an extremely strange sound.

Lixi stood there, finding it difficult to describe what kind of sound it was.

Sometimes it barked "wa wa" like a child, but after a while it turned into the "woof woof" barking of a puppy. When listening carefully, it sounded like a cat. Li Xi seemed to have heard this sound somewhere before.

But she couldn't remember.

Standing in the corridor, Lixi discovered that it was drizzling outside. This was the first time it had rained since she started her second year of junior high school.

【Let’s go home. 】

But the sound coming from the atrium not far away was so strange that Li Xi couldn't help but want to check it out.

Anyway, I have come this far, so it doesn’t seem to matter if I go home later.

Just do it.

Shiina Riki no longer hesitated. She carefully approached the source of the sound, and the strange noise became clearer and clearer.

Finally, after Lixi turned around the concrete pillar, she saw a young girl under the ancient tree in the courtyard in front.

Li Xi's pupils shrank. It was a scene that she would never forget in her life.

The girl in school uniform did not shy away from the rain. A circle of crows surrounded her. Some of them stood on the girl's shoulders, some rested in her palms, but more crows chose to fly around the girl.

The crow's wings were wet by the fine and dense rain, but it was just a light rain and did not affect their ability to spread their wings.

The originally pitch-black wings were now sparkling with colorful lights, and the colorful feathers reflected the orange phantom of the sky. Li Xi felt that the birds were small moving rainbows.

[So that's the cry of a crow... How bizarre.]

No wonder people in ancient times called crows "crow dog".

The girl had her back to Lixi, but Lixi was already sure that the girl was absolutely beautiful. Just the hazy back in the rain made Lixi look a little dazed.

Especially when the snow-white long hair is set against the backdrop of the flying crows, this dynamic oil painting becomes even more charming.

"Gudong."

Shiina Riki swallowed subconsciously, and the idea of ​​going up and making friends with the other person came to his mind.

【Alas, forget it. 】

Well, she is a grown-up girl, it would be embarrassing to go up to her directly.

Although she didn't dare to go forward to greet her, Li Xi was not very willing to leave. She felt that the girl was just like the crow, so...

【cute.】

I don’t know if it was fate, but the girl finally looked back.

There was a little crow standing on her index finger, and when Li Xi looked into the other's eyes clearly, a familiar and creepy feeling suddenly climbed up his spine.

"!!!"

Such a familiar red, really familiar.

I have definitely seen it somewhere.

Where is it?

The memories of the past are like incomplete fragments. Shiina Riki tried to search for answers among these fragments but found nothing.

She subconsciously took a few steps back, then turned around and trotted away.

[Let's just go home and forget about it today. Next time we meet, I'll definitely ask for clarification.]

At least that's how Shiina Riki comforted himself.

It’s really a pity that I missed the opportunity to meet such a beauty.

........ ........ ........

Ch193. Chitose Noshiro, but hearing impaired

Shiina's house, dinner time.

Li Xi thought he would be scolded by his parents, after all, he had broken his promise and deserted.
