I am the emotional sustenance of your deceased

[So beautiful, so mature...]

She doesn't look like a sister, but more like a mother.

"Chitose, very interesting... the most interesting woman I have ever met."

"Eh?"

As if she had not expected Kaname Rakuna's reply, Chitose Noshiro turned off the air conditioner in the lounge and stroked the side of Kaname Rakuna's face.

"Little sister speaks so sweetly. Sister likes little Lenai very much."

"Fufu... Lenai likes you too."

For a moment, Lenai forgot about asking Chitose to teach her guitar.

She just felt that Noshiro Chitose's hands seemed to have magical powers, and just a simple massage made her feel like she was flying.

For a moment, the sound of a cat purring filled the lounge, and the passing band girl thought someone was playing with a cat inside.

[No! I want to...learn guitar so I can compete with my older sister on stage in the future.]

[This is the only way to be like Chitose Noshiro on the stage that day, standing under the spotlight and winning the applause of the whole world.]

Chitose-sister said so! Wait till she performs on stage in the future.

Only by stepping onto the stage can one play music as great as Chitose.

In order to become Noshiro Chitose, Lenai has to work hard not to break away from Chitose's gentle embrace.

"Chitose...sister..." Kaname was a little slurred, "I want to...learn guitar...teach me...huhu..."

It feels so good, stop rubbing it! Big sister!

The petite six-year-old loli girl Kaname Rana is held in the arms of the 22-year-old mature woman Chitose Noshiro like a little doll.

"Hmm? It seems like you're really interested."

"But learning guitar is very hard. The process is boring and tedious. Are you sure you want to learn it?"

Chitose's red eyes are full of seriousness, and Chitose Noshiro looks even more wild and charming.

"Yes."

"Pfft, you're really motivated."

Chitose's movements were as graceful as a big cat. She curled her hair and looked at Kaname Rakuna curiously.

"Baby, music is a serious matter."

Chitose Noshiro got close to Rakuna, and Rakuna was unable to withstand the hot and spicy breath coming towards her.

"Hmm... Yeah."

"So, are you really ready to learn?"

"I…"

Enlightenment? What is that?

The girl's silence was the best appetizer for Chitose. She smiled indifferently and didn't care about the girl's silence. Finally, she rubbed Lenai's head and left.

"Think about it carefully. If you figure it out, come back to me... After all, I don't want you to regret it!"

"If I was really serious, I would come to SPACE to rehearse every afternoon, although I wouldn't necessarily be with my teammates."

"But you're such a tiny kitten, it's my fault for making you think about all this. Goodbye, little darling."

"Woo? Goodbye!"

Lenai wanted to chase after him, but she didn't have much energy after just waking up.

She was lost in thought in the lounge where only one person was sitting.

【Are you awakened?】

Chitose Noshiro's appearance just now really looked like a large cat examining its cubs.

"Ugh."

……

What is the so-called enlightenment of playing the guitar?

Yalongai thought about it all night but still couldn't figure it out.

Lenai, who was sitting at the dining table, put down the spoon full of breakfast cereal and turned to look at her grandmother.

"Grandma, what do you think that is?"

"what?"

"consciousness."

"Ah... the awareness of playing the guitar?"

"Uh-huh."

Tsuzuki Shifune fell into deep thought. She wanted to dodge such a serious topic, but seeing her granddaughter's rare serious expression, she chose to answer.

"I guess it's something I'll fight for my whole life. Even if I'm sad or angry, I won't stop playing."

"Eh?!"

Yao Lenai seemed to understand but still nodded seriously.

"Okay, then I've decided. I want to play music for the rest of my life."

She walked out the door and strode towards the SPCAE.

……

Backstage at the SPACE performance hall in late spring, Chitose Noshiro was wiping her guitar with a handkerchief scented with cherry blossoms.

There is no performance today, it is still a day off.

The petite Kaname Rakuna was hiding behind the curtain and peeking, the ends of her hair were stained with fallen cherry blossom petals that were floating in from outside the wall.

For a moment, Lena couldn't tell whether the fragrance was coming from her head or from Chitose.

"Chitose! Sister...I've made up my mind!"

"Ok?"

Noshiro Chitose smiled and looked at Kaname Rakuna who had a determined look on her face.

The latter said in a baby voice:

"I want to be someone like you."

"I also want to shine on the stage."

Ch352. As the notes dance, Lenai begins to grow

"I want to be a guitarist as brilliant as you."

This is what the little girl, who looked as delicate and delicate as a porcelain doll, said.

Going down from the backstage of the performance hall is the staff passage, and outside Chitose and Lena is a courtyard planted with cherry trees.

"Oh?"

Chitose blinked and suddenly moved closer to Kaname Rakuna with great interest.

"Kitten Lenai, now that you've said that, I can't refuse you."

"But... I'm curious, if I reject you, will you cry?"

The older sister in front of him seemed to be asking the question with some malicious intent, but Kaname didn't care.

After thinking carefully for a moment, she gave an affirmative answer.

"I will keep chasing you. I believe you will teach me!"

"So confident, why?"

"Because... this is the intuition of one's own kind."

Lena stretched, and Chitose happened to start moving around at the same time.

The synchronized movements of the two of them left Chitose stunned.

"Ah... I really can't do anything with you," Chitose said briefly, scratching Lenai's chin. "Then I'll teach you a lesson."

Handing over her guitar, Lenai saw her own reflection in Chitose's clear eyes.

It was a naive and childish face.

"Want to come for a sound check?"

The body of the guitar turned towards Le Nai, and the spring light reflected by the string buttons shattered into starlight in the girl's pupils.

"Uh-huh!"

It's that guitar... black as a machete! First time seeing it up close...

Black guitar, how could you suddenly flash red light? The magenta cherry blossom pattern on the guitar body seemed to dance.

“What a legendary guitar! Can I really touch it?”

"Of course. A guitar is just a guitar. It won't break if it gets bumped."

"Yeah! Chitose...sister."

Carefully, he took the guitar from Chitose Noshiro's hands.

"Watch carefully and learn well. I will hold your hand and you can feel this feeling."

"it is good!"

When Chitose Noshiro taught the young child to pluck the first string, the cherry blossoms on Lena's head happened to fall.

The petals were cut by the strings, leaving tiny bloody marks.

"!"

As the cherry blossoms were damaged, the first note jumped into Lenai's ears.

Crisp and clear, the notes are dissected into countless heartwarming moments in the spring breeze.

Kaname Rakuna subconsciously raised her eyes to look at Noshiro Chitose, and met the other person's gentle yet serious expression.

"Well, this is the first note that little Lenai played beside me."

"From now on, until your hands can no longer hold the guitar—"

“Let’s expand it slowly and eventually make it into beautiful songs!”

"Ok!"

This moment was forever imprinted in Lena's memory and became her first memory of Chitose.

……

When a mother cat takes her cubs out, she sometimes carries them in her mouth or holds them in her mouth.

From that day on, Kaname Rakuna was "taken away" by Chitose Noshiro.

"Two matcha parfaits."

The bar at SPACE is too low for Chitose Noshiro, but too high for Rakuna Kaname.

For this reason, Chitose had to pick up Lena and put her on the high chair.

"Huh," Lenai uttered a cute interjection when she was placed on the chair.

Chitose sat next to her, her eyes full of love for the cute child.

【She is so cute! 】

It is exactly the same as the little Kyoto Kyoto when he was a child. Just looking at this cute little guy will make you feel better.

The matcha parfait was served on the table very quickly. Lena stretched out her hand to take her portion but was quickly stopped by Chitose.

"No! No! They're all mine! I didn't say I'd treat you. I want to eat two portions by myself!"

"Eh!"
