These excuses, repeated time and again, make time slip away.
Even Ichi Nijika gradually became more cheerful during this process.
Although the frequency of criminal activity has decreased, it has never stopped.
Ichi Nijika knew that the boy had worked illegally at the construction site, working from dusk till dawn.
Ichi Nijika had seen that boy standing in front of the counter at a convenience store late at night, silently looking at the prices of discounted bento boxes, and then turning around to buy the cheapest bean sprouts.
Ichi Nijika felt a pang of sadness.
She couldn't resist contacting convenience stores to inquire about job openings, intending to join one.
Ichi Nijika couldn't give Narusawa Kaede money. Putting aside whether he would accept it, she genuinely didn't have any, and she certainly couldn't ask her sister or father for it. Although her family wasn't starving, Nijika felt they were struggling financially.
But just like what Ijichi Hoshika did before.
Being there for someone may be the best medicine to heal wounds.
With that thought in mind, Ichiji Nijika made up her mind to help those who were suffering even more than she was.
With this belief, Ichiji Nijika slept exceptionally well that day.
But... just like every story has its plot points, unsurprisingly, the unexpected finally happened.
The next day, the heavy rain did not stop Ichiji Nijika's daily criminal activities.
Then she heard crying coming from that dilapidated apartment building. Ichiki Nioka felt a pang of sadness, but couldn't help thinking, "Even someone as strong as her can cry."
When the boy came out carrying his violin case, she hid herself as usual until he was far away, and then she followed him from a distance.
The boy sold the violin.
How much did it sell for?
Ijichi Nijika didn't know, but she didn't dare to go forward.
On the road,
On the overpass,
Along the river,
In the heavy rain that day.
Mingze Feng, who had never shed a tear no matter how bitter, tired, sleepy, or hungry he was, cried like a newborn baby, but in the heavy rain, his cries seemed to echo from a coffin.
Ichi Nijika, who was just following behind, couldn't help but cry as well.
The thought that her six months of hesitation had led to this situation sent chills down her spine, filling her with remorse. But perhaps it was long-standing habit that made her suppress the urge to run away, and she continued to follow Narusawa Kaede, watching him order a vegetable curry rice, which she then ate with tears streaming down her face.
Ichiji Nijika saw Narusawa Kaede pick up his plate as if to smash it, but in the end, he put the empty plate back on the table. He slammed his hand on the table and started arguing with the owner, complaining that the food was too salty.
It's better not to eat this meal.
Why is there no end to this meal?
Ichi Nijika did not follow this time.
At that time, Hongxia was completely immersed in regret.
At this point, she no longer knew what else she could do.
After that, Naruzawa Kaede pushed herself even harder. Ijichi Nijika, on the other hand, chose to channel her kindness elsewhere, avoiding seeing or hearing about it, and thus winning the favor of all her classmates.
The matter of Mingze Feng remained weighing heavily on her mind. It became a pressure that compelled her to help others, and any pause would be overwhelmed by the heavy guilt in her heart and the sound of her crying on that rainy night.
As it turns out, when she wanted to meet him, she could spy on him every day, even if they were a grade apart; when she wanted to avoid him, even if she subconsciously passed by Naruzawa Kaede's class, Ichiji Nijika never saw him again.
It seemed like the matter was over, until...
That day, on the rooftop.
When I saw Naruzawa Kaede again, he was holding a bass guitar in his arms. Lying next to him was Yamada Ryo, a withdrawn and eccentric student in the class.
What I heard afterward was... being kept by a sugar daddy or something like that.
Ichi Nijika couldn't quite explain the joy in her heart. If, just if, Naruzawa Kaede were doing better, perhaps she could get over that hurdle in her heart.
Mingze Feng seems to have become much more cheerful.
It's great that I'm no longer just suppressing myself and have started to vent my emotions.
As for the person who got beaten up... even Ichiji Nijika felt that person deserved it.
Later, Ichiji Nijika asked the homeroom teacher to submit a plan to help impoverished students.
Perhaps this is all in vain. Perhaps Naruzawa Kaede never even knew of her existence from the beginning. Perhaps all this can achieve is a sense of peace in Ichiji Nijika's heart.
But... this is exactly the kind of peace of mind that Ichiji Nijika seeks.
She had had enough. Every time the rain fell, the sound of crying she heard that day welled up in her heart.
By now.
Hachiman Kairin nodded, seemingly taking notes, while Wakaba Mutsu lowered her head, not daring to speak. Iji Tomoka was only focused on getting Narusawa Kaede to cooperate with her and provide cover.
Ichi Nijika sighed inwardly.
The guy in front of me is so trendy and handsome, surrounded by girls... and he's wearing a school uniform from Tsukinomori!? After being kept by Ryo, did he also hook up with the young lady from Tsukinomori?
Naruzawa Kaede must be very happy.
【Niji Natsumi's Heartache 1: Those Fleeting Years】
【from now on...】
Even if it rains heavily...
[The kind-hearted girl will no longer be troubled by nightmares and sudden cries...maybe]
[Task Reward: Good Deeds Be Rewarded (Claimed)]
Narusawa Kaede silently read through the lengthy report. To finish reading it, he even invited the Iji sisters to stay.
Mingze Feng, accompanied by four beauties, squeezed into the live event venue.
At this moment, Mingze Feng couldn't help but think that if it weren't for today's encounter, he probably would never have known that there was such a kind-hearted girl secretly accompanying him during the days before his memories awakened.
Is it Ijichi Nijika?
Mingze Feng's gaze softened considerably when he looked at her.
As the brother-in-law, he accepted his younger sister.
Chapter 62 I made a date with Ijichi Hoshika.
Upon meeting her gaze, Ichiji Nijika felt a little flustered and avoided eye contact.
Ming Zefeng then stopped looking at her. However, he couldn't greet Xingge at this moment, so he could only follow Xingge's gaze and pretend not to know her.
But Xingge knew she couldn't get too close to Xiaomu.
If Ye Mu discovered the same thing without a doubt, she was worried and blamed herself for causing trouble for Ming Zefeng, but at the same time, she couldn't help but cause trouble for Ming Zefeng.
A passionate live performance resounded on the stage.
Ruo Yemu stood next to Ming Zefeng, secretly holding his hand, tugging at his sleeve, and pouting as she muttered about whether she should give him another kiss.
The gaze of Ijichi Hoshika behind me felt like a thorn in my back.
Looking at Ruoye Mu's pink lips, Mingze Feng knew he couldn't bring himself to kiss her. What to do? He had no choice but to cover her mouth.
When those soft lips pressed firmly against his palm, the warm breath that Ye Mu blew not only made Ming Zefeng's hand itch, but also made his heart feel a little itchy.
Not to mention the slippery feeling on my palms at this moment...
It was Wakaba Mutsu who stuck out her tongue.
Naruzawa Kaede wanted to remind Wakaba Mutsu to be more careful, but at that moment the girl squinted her eyes, intentionally or unintentionally ignoring the look Naruzawa Kaede was giving her.
Her pale green hair fell slightly across her forehead, and her slender, long eyelashes were clearly visible, trembling incessantly. With the flick of her nimble tongue, her breathing became heavy.
Mingze Feng lost his last chance to lower his hand.
With Xiao Mu sticking out her tongue, he couldn't lower his hand, because someone would see...
Narusawa Kaede stared into Wakaba Mutsu's eyes. Although she knew she was just pretending to close her eyes... well, if Mutsu likes it, then so be it.
Mingze Feng's fingers moved slightly, pressing against Xiao Mu's soft and elastic cheek, leaving a slight indentation.
"Umm..."
The touch on her cheek quickly made Wakaba Muku blush, and her tongue, which had been moving straight up and down, couldn't help but start swirling around haphazardly.
Naruzawa Kaede did not go to see Ijichi Nijika again.
Nijika Ichi quickly calmed down. She thought to herself, "I'm so glad my older sister agreed to continue listening to the live performance with me."
If she were alone, she would never have been able to accept Mingze Feng's invitation.
When Mingze Feng suggested watching the live show together, she really, really wanted to stay. But she didn't know how to express her feelings.
She had been looking for ways to get close to Mingze Feng for a long time. But every attempt to make contact ended with her being the first to back down.
Whether she wanted to become his friend or infiltrate Yamada Ryo's light music club... even if she really considered Narusawa Kaede a friend, Ijichi Nijika still felt that there was a thick barrier between her and him.
Ichi Nijika knew that she had built that wall herself, in a corner unknown to everyone.
Therefore, Ichiji Nijika is very grateful to her older sister.
My sister must have figured it out, right? She understood how she felt, which is why she agreed on her behalf.
Ijichi Niji Natsumi thought to herself with delight, then looked at Ijichi Seika, wanting to convey her gratitude with her eyes. They sisters certainly shared that unspoken understanding—speaking with their eyes.
Then, Ichi Nijika realized that her older sister wasn't looking at her.
"..."
Ijichi Hoshika's gaze went over her head and looked behind her.
Ichi Nijika followed the trail of her gaze.
It's a scene of Naruzawa Kaede getting close to the young lady from the Moon Forest.
It seems that the girl's name was Mu.
Ichi Nijika suddenly remembered that Narusawa Kaede seemed to have an ambiguous relationship with her sister's alcoholic friend.
Looking at the gloom in Ijichi Hoshika's eyes now, Ijichi Nijika's gaze hurriedly shifted between her older sister and Narusawa Kaede.
Under normal circumstances, Ichiki Nijika would naturally side with her older sister, especially since, as Yamada Ryo's friend, her friend's boyfriend was right in front of her, being all lovey-dovey with another woman.
From any perspective, Ming Zefeng is a fickle, two-timing, and scumbag.
Whether you stand on the side of the older sister or the friend, you should criticize, educate, and even condemn them.
"But......"
Ichi Niji Natsumi murmured in a voice only she could hear, then couldn't help but look at Narusawa Kaede.
The lights in the livehouse were dim, but the group was not far apart. Occasionally, a spotlight from the stage would shine down, but it would pass by Mingze Feng.
The light did not pass directly through him; instead, it made the area around Mingze Feng appear even darker.
At this point, even Ichiji Nijika couldn't clearly see Narusawa Kaede's face.
She thought to herself in a daze...
He is different.
Ichi Nijika then pinched her older sister's hem, adopting a rare, delicate demeanor.
"Sis, what are you looking at..."
"what..."
Ijichi Seika seemed particularly excited, while Ijichi Nijika tilted her head, not understanding what landmine her question had touched.
However... Ichiji Nijika thought, I should still take her with me.
Although Xingge is often offline and unreliable on weekdays, he can be counted on when it matters most.
However, in Ijichi Nijika's eyes, Ijichi Hoshika is on the opposite side of Narusawa Kaede, and her sister is probably about to go and demand an explanation from him.
So let's take her with us.
