I am the emotional sustenance of your deceased

　[Ms. Nagasaki learned something, but she suppressed it and didn't let anyone know.]

　That would reduce Qiansui's trouble.

　Thank you, Nagasaki-san!

　"Xiao Sui, are you feeling better? I'm sorry... I'll definitely supervise Xiao Sui's meals from now on. The doctor said Xiao Sui's health is too poor and she needs to take some supplements."

　Li Xi was wiping away tears, and the nervousness and anxiety he had in the ambulance were no longer visible.

　"Yeah, yeah, Xiao Sui... I'll go get you some supplements."

　Su Shi wanted to go out alone, but Li Xi followed her because he was worried that Su Shi might not be able to buy the right things.

　"Then I'll go too!"

　In the end, as the light went out, only Chitose and Ms. Nagasaki were left in the room.

　A girl's way of showing concern may be clumsy but always full of heart.

　"Chitose...can I call you that?"

　It wasn't until a few minutes after everyone had left that Ms. Nagasaki finally caught her breath and spoke.

　"Of course, Aunt Nagasaki!"

　"I...ah, really, how old are you this year? You're sixteen like my Su Shi, right?"

　With love and pity, Ms. Nagasaki held Chitose's hand and pressed it against her face.

　It was not until this moment that Chitose noticed that Nagasaki's face was covered with tears.

　"Yeah, hey."

　With her head tilted in a cute way, Chitose's smile irritated Ms. Nagasaki's nerves.

　Nagasaki remembered her granddaughter. Although the memory was not long-lasting, it was deep enough.

　She could no longer remember ninety-five percent of the story in her dream.

　But she remembered Chitose.

　Just like she couldn't remember her clever, mischievous yet overly considerate subordinate.

　But she remembered Chitose.

　"I... your body will recover. You know everything, right?"

　He didn't want to talk about such a heavy topic, but at this point, Nagasaki didn't know how to say what was in his heart tactfully.

　She turned her head and carefully observed Qiansui's expression with the corner of her eye.

　"!!!" Chitose Noshiro actually... had no expression on her face? Could it be that she wasn't afraid of a terminal illness at all?

　"understood."

　"not afraid?"

　"Ah."

　“…”Good boy, cry quickly, this is what you deserve.

　But why are you... so calm?

　[What have you been through in these past few years...my dear granddaughter.]

　I want to hug Qiansui but I'm afraid of breaking her fragile body.

　Ms. Nagasaki tried to smile, and finally took a deep breath before speaking out what was in her mind: "Um, Chitose, I heard from Su Shi that your... parents are deceased. I'm so sorry! I want to ask you, if it's okay -"

　"Are you willing to be adopted by me and become my daughter? I will definitely take good care of you during your last days!"

　what?

　Noshiro Chitose blinked.

　She had so many complaints in her heart that she wanted to express, and she didn't know what to do for a moment.

　"You better let me go home first! I want to go home and cook for Kyomoto!"

　You are simply kidnapping.

　"what…"

　The corners of his mouth trembled, and Chitose, who was amused by the actions of these idiots, still kept his words calm and gentle.

　"Forget about this kind of thing. It's not something I can decide. Whether Su Shitong agrees or not is another matter... I have a younger sister at home, and that's another matter..."

　"Most importantly. Auntie... Shigaraki! I know you pity me, but this is so sudden."

　Ch270. Integrity, wine and poetry, exile or decisive advancement?

　Chitose Noshiro suspects that she is the heroine of a light novel or Galgame.

　And she became more and more convinced of this doubt.

　Please put yourself in her perspective and imagine -

　When I was born, both my parents were dead, I had a younger sister and a house.

　The girl who lives next door is a poor young lady. She and I have an ambiguous relationship.

　After I was admitted to Hanaoka Girls' High School through my own hard work, the short-haired girl sitting in front of me was super cute. She and I had an ambiguous relationship.

　My best friend with short hair and long straight black hair couldn't wait to get to know me. She even said that we wanted to be lifelong friends and form a lifelong small group. In the end, she was ambiguous with me.

　Under the street light, I found a beautiful brown-haired girl who looked very lonely and seemed to have lost her mother and daughter.

　She was also being ambiguous with me.

　Finally, this beautiful girl's wealthy mother actually wanted to adopt me——

　Chitose Noshiro suppressed the twitching corners of her mouth.

　"Aunt Nagasaki, I know you mean well, but this happened so suddenly. Please allow me to refuse. I'm not mentally prepared yet. Thank you for helping me pay for my medical expenses..."

　I will definitely pay you back when I have money in the future."

　"I, no need, it's just small change... Or, Auntie can give you some more money."

　Ms. Nagasaki noticed Chitose's shoes beside the bed.

　It looks like it hasn't been replaced for a long time.

　She wanted to help with more things, but all she got was Chitose Noda's polite refusal.

　But on second thought, she realized that Chitose Noshiro was indeed such a person.

　Even though the Chitose in front of him hadn't grown up yet, its inner attributes seemed... to be exactly the same as the Chitose that he had raised in his dreams.

　Ms. Nagasaki fell into deep memories.

　If her granddaughter were still alive, she would be about this age, right?

　That’s great, but those two memories…I can hardly remember them anymore.

　"Xiao Sui! I bought your favorite..."

　The three people who went out came back soon.

　The girls' enthusiasm quickly dispelled the dullness in the room. It would be nice if every day from now on could be like this.

　Chitose tugged at her hospital gown and narrowed her eyes.

　【Isn’t this good? 】

　……

　"Alas, after a week, my sister and I are finally the only ones at home."

　Today, there are only two sisters in Noshiro House!

　Chitose buried her entire face in Kyomoto's hair, greedily inhaling the pleasant scent of her sister.

　It turns out that my sister is the cutest creature in the world.

　"Sister, are you hiding something from me?"

　Kyomoto Haizuka looked down at the plate in confusion.

　She felt that her eyes had been feeling much better recently, and she could see things more clearly.

　It was as if the broken eyes were coming back to life.

　"Yes, today your sister Sushi's mother wanted to adopt us, but I didn't agree directly. What do you think, Xiao Jingben? Aunt Nagasaki is a very nice person, and her family is rich."

　"Eh?"

　Perhaps because he had never thought that such a thing could happen, Kyomoto Huizuka felt that this matter was not very real.

　It's like a fairy tale.

　"That's so exaggerated. Even Kyomoto doesn't know."

　"Well, this kind of thing is actually more likely to happen than you think. Reality is so magical. If it were a novel, it would need some logic."

　Chitose gave Kyomoto one last kiss on the forehead. She walked barefoot onto the balcony. The lights in the neighboring Toyokawa residence were still on.

　It seems that Xiangzi is still working today.

　"It's such a peaceful daily life, it's so nice."

　Simple life is the best.

　"Lifespan has hit rock bottom again... Let's continue the simulation tonight."

　I hope that this time, I can gain a little more life so that I can have more opportunities to take care of everyone in the future.

　"I really want to give everyone eternal youth, but unfortunately I'm short on money and can only stare at the mall and drool."

　I vaguely remember the girls who sent me home.

　Her sparkling eyes are the most precious treasure.

　……

　The story after nightfall was the same as usual, except that the Nohdai residence was a little less lively today.

　Kyomoto in Noshiro Chitose's arms had fallen asleep, and she was resting with her eyes closed.

　After saying "Sweet dreams" to the last girl who came to say goodnight on the phone, Chitose Noshiro called up the system.

　"Tongzi, let's start."

　A white light flashed, and as usual, Noshiro Chitose's spirit was pulled into the system's simulation space.

　【Welcome back, my proud host】

　[This system will provide help before simulation, the help is as follows]

　"Blind box, next one."

　Without even glancing at the options above, Chitose Noshiro lowered her eyes and made her choice directly.

　Before her life span was granted, she would never even look at the options above!

　The clear electronic sound continues.
