I am the emotional sustenance of your deceased

　Finally the worst thing in the world happened.

　Shiina Riki began to cry.

　-

　Ch248. My name is Chitose Noshiro, nice to meet you

　Lixi returned to his home that day.

　She cried wildly in her sister's arms.

　That day seemed to have passed a long time ago, and the passing of the past years did not cause any ripples.

　After all, Li Xi had already swallowed the bitterness of the past.

　After that, life returned to its old track.

　After taking a break from school for a while, Lixi later returned to school.

　But she felt more and more that she was not like Shiina Riki.

　She felt...that she was becoming more and more like Chitose Noshiro.

　When she left, she became her.

　Back at Haneda Girls' High School, I met Crychic's lead singer, Takamatsu Touma, again.

　Xiao Deng seemed like a different person. She had become thinner, her eyes had turned dim, and she looked pale and thin, yet she actually thought of caring about Li Xi.

　It seems that Takamatsu Deng is still frightened by Crychic's funeral.

　After all, it was too much for a high school girl to die on stage.

　In his spare time, Shiina Riki also heard about the current situation of several other people.

　It is said that Nagasaki Suyo has never touched a musical instrument again. Her current situation is relatively stable. She occasionally goes out with Deng and herself to have tea.

　Their topics always revolve around Crychic's second-generation keyboard player.

　After Crychic and mujica disbanded, Wakaba Mu joined a professional band and made her debut quickly. Lixi met her several times later and felt an indescribable sense of familiarity with Mu.

　It seems that Mu has also become a martyr who has the courage and awareness to "burn".

　Shoko Toyokawa...that guy later went abroad, and before she left, she left a ten-thousand-word apology letter to Lixi.

　But Shiina Riki didn't even look at it and put it into Chitose's diary.

　After all, it wasn't Xiangzi herself who should be apologizing to. She only owed Nengdai Qiansui.

　The above is all Li Xi knew, and she no longer cared about anything else.

　"call…"

　It has been more than two months since Chitose passed away. Today is the eve of summer, and it is difficult to find cherry blossoms outside the house.

　The best time to enjoy the cherry blossoms this year happens to be the last month of Chitose Noshiro. As Chitose's life comes to an end, the cherry blossoms fall with the spring breeze.

　Xiaosui and the cherry blossoms became phantoms that only appeared in Chitose's dreams.

　"Ugh."

　Holding my head up, I finally made it to the end of school.

　Only then did Li Xi reluctantly retract his expression.

　But she recalled the rainy afternoon when she met Qiansui. She overslept that day, but picked up the most beautiful treasure in the world.

　[As expected... No, I can't become Xiao Sui... Every little thing I see before my eyes carries the aura and color of Qian Sui, constantly pulling me back to the past, unable to extricate myself for a long time.]

　Sighing, it became Lixi's habit since I don't know when.

　"Lixi, do you want to go... for tea after school? Su Shi said she wants to go to the beach and asked if we have time during the holidays!"

　Deng asked anxiously, and Lixi knew that this was Deng's concern for his friend.

　However, Lixi did not want to accept Su Shi and Deng's kindness... because she had not yet come out of the haze.

　She needs more time... maybe a year or five years... she needs time to calm down.

　"Sorry, I've been in a bad mood recently. I'm going home to rest first. Xiao Deng, please have fun for me."

　"Ah good!"

　Say goodbye to Takamatsu Lantern, walk downstairs and leave Yugaoka, passing by a big

　The intersection, go straight, turn...pass by your home.

　Li Xi stood at the door and hesitated for a moment but did not go in. Instead, he turned and walked towards Noshiro's house.

　Tonight, let’s stay at the small house that belongs to her and Chitose.

　She missed Qiansui again. Although it would be painful to live with him, missing him was even more torturous.

　She didn't know how many years this longing would last.

　But probably... I can't stop it in my lifetime.

　The paint-chipped door was pushed open, and Chitose said that her favorite thing was the door of her home because it gave her a sense of security.

　Li Xi walked in slowly. It was still some time before sunset, and the air in the room was more captivating than the thousand-year-old hair.

　"Xiao Sui, your house is really too big. It would be better if it were a little smaller."

　Lixi went to the kitchen and checked the spices and kitchen utensils as usual.

　"Xiao Sui, remember to feed the crows outside...ah, I forgot you were away."

　Ugh.

　Li Xi's eyes were fixed on the refrigerator door.

　The countless sticky notes of different colors stuck crookedly are a collection of past memories.

　[Lemongrass and lemon grilled chicken legs, note: do not overcook]

　【Pickled pepper beef porridge】

　Honey passion fruit yogurt.

　Wait, wait, wait, she has a whole refrigerator full of little recipes like this.

　With a touch of the fingertips, the note fell down.

　They fell to the ground without causing a ripple... just like when Xiaosui died, the world didn't even feel a ripple.

　Lixi started cooking. She wore Chitose's hearing aid and wanted to experience Chitose's feelings.

　But it's just wishful thinking after all.

　As the food came out of the oven one by one and was served on the table, Shiina Riki subconsciously shouted, "I'm going to eat."

　Eh?

　"Ugh."

　She was silent, and it took her a long time to come back to her senses.

　When the spoon touched the soft food, Lixi scooped up a spoonful and put it into his mouth.

　But she forgot to make food that normal people can adapt to.

　The spiciness, sourness, and even a strong exotic fragrance instantly filled her mouth.

　"Xiao Sui...Xiao Sui!"

　Shiina Riki began to cry, tears streaming down her face, she could no longer control her emotions.

　I thought I would forget it, but when things related to her come up again, sadness still flows like a river.

　"I...I really can't live without you. I miss you so much. I want to hug you again...you..."

　Lixi didn't want to smell the food anymore, so she went to the sunroom on the second floor and cried quietly against the glass door.

　The inner grievances were expressed, but this time it was not to Qiansui but to the succulents on the balcony that no one cared about.

　"Xiao Sui, you...why did you leave? You were only sixteen, why are you gone while everyone else is alive?"

　Why is it so unfair?

　Why was it that only her young age passed away?

　Why…why is this happening!

　With his hands hanging naturally, Shiina Riki looks like a puppet that has lost all its strength.

　"I don't want to live anymore. If I hadn't heard Xiaosui calling me that day, I would have died a long time ago."

　Sure enough, Xiao Sui.

　Will you protect me even if you die?

　His fingers suddenly touched something rough. Li Xi bent down to pick it up and found it was a sketchbook.

　An ominous premonition was churning in her heart.

　[Could it be…]

　Lixi knew that she might collapse after reading it, but she still wanted to read it.

　Finally, the sketchbook was skillfully opened, and Shiina Riki was immediately captivated by the words written on one of the pages.

　[Hello, my name is Chitose Noshiro. I can't hear well. How can I help you?]

　“…” Shiina Riki’s eyes went dark and he almost fainted.

　That's the way it is.

　-

　[End of this volume]

　Volume 4: Then Wear the Golden Hat

　Ch249.So, I gave up the fantasy!

　Goodbye, Lixi.

　At night, Chitose opened his eyes.

　The imagined feeling of deafness did not come as expected. This time the system did not lie to her.

　The moment she returned to reality, she completely adapted to a normal human body.

　In her arms was her sweet daughter Su Shi, who was breathing quietly, and beside her, holding Chitose's arm was her younger sister, one of her spiritual pillars.

　The corners of Noshiro Chitose's mouth couldn't help but rise.

　She suddenly found herself becoming a winner in life that many people envied.

　[Congratulations, host! You, a bad guy, have destroyed Shiina Riki's life once again.]

　The system's prompt sounded as expected, and what followed was one of the most wonderful moments in the world—

　Fight with the system and share the hard-earned life money!

　Chitose, you've mastered the system's auxiliary features to complete simulations, giving the simulated subject a superior experience. In this simulation, you even developed a strange relationship with the simulated subject for the sake of the final effect.

　"You are truly a complete villain! Your understanding of evil and the means you use to commit it have reached unprecedented levels! You're even willing to sacrifice a portion of your own health to achieve your goals!"

　What surprised this system the most this time was that my great host had caused more than one person to regret their lives! Mass damage will bring us greater benefits! Next time, Chitose Noshiro, what kind of surprise will you bring me? This system is looking forward to it.

　】

　[Regret Index Calculating… Congratulations to the Host on obtaining a lifespan of nine years (50/50)]

　[Remaining lifespan: 31 years, 4 months, and 21 days]

　【Overall evaluation: upper to lower】

　[P.S. Regarding the simulation of Nagasaki Suyo, Chitose, you have a remarkable advantage. And this time, your planning and layout filled the nonexistent causal connection between you and Riki. This is quite interesting. Host, please keep up the good work.]

　Ding--

　Finally, the sound of the system dissipated.

　Chitose closed his eyes and relaxed his mind in the darkness.

　"After so many years, looking back, nothing has actually happened..."
