Chapter 1175: Branching Out
"Chiba, you...... Are you alright?"
Kushina looked at the empty table of dishes, and then at Chiba, who seemed to be satisfied with food in front of him, frowned, and couldn't help but ask.
This......
Although I know that Chiba must have a larger amount of food than before, it is a bit exaggerated to see this growth.
That's about 10 servings......
How big is this child's stomach?
But in her heart, there was such a thought.
"I didn't ...... It's okay!"
At this time, hearing Kushina's words, Chiba hurriedly shook his head and spoke.
It's just that when he spoke, his brows frowned invisibly.
Is it my delusion?
Ate so much?
Still not feeling too full?
But don't have that hunger pangs and want to eat?
This......
My body, what's going on?
At this time, such a thought flashed in his heart, at this time, although he ate a table of meals, almost ten people's meals, but he did not feel full, quite a feeling of food like mud cows into the sea, now he neither feels hungry, nor does he feel full, this feeling is quite weird.
However, apart from this weird feeling, there was no other discomfort, and Chiba was a little confused for a while.
Of course, it's okay to be fine.
"Okay......"
And after hearing Chiba's reply, after carefully looking at Chiba up and down, Jiu Sinai didn't see anything abnormal, and finally could only nod.
Then she stood up and prepared to put away the dishes.
"Have you eaten enough?"
At this time, Chiba seemed to suddenly think of something, and hurriedly asked. Just now he patronized himself to eat, driven by the inexplicable hunger, and didn't take into account the situation of the two of them at all, and then looked at the clean dishes and chopsticks of Jiu Sinai and Xue Nai next to him, for fear that he ate them all, Jiu Sinai and Xue Nai didn't eat anything.
"We've eaten a long time ago, and we saw you sleeping just now, so we didn't wake you up. ”
In this regard, Xue Nai on the side said.
"Oh......"
Realizing that he seemed to have asked a meaningless question, Chiba responded with some embarrassment.
After all, it was almost eight o'clock when he woke up, and it was impossible for the two of them to have dinner so late.
"Yukina, you go back and rest first, let me and Chiba clean up here, Chiba will help!"
And at this time, Jiu Sinai also spoke.
"Hmm. ”
To this, Yukina nodded, got up and walked to the side of the stairs.
This is also a habit since this period of time, because of the relationship between her blindness, she can do limited, and Jiu Sinai is also afraid of her blindness and any physical complications, so she has always let Xue Nai go to bed early and get up early, and pay attention to recuperation.
Although Chiba returned today, she had the heart to sleep late and wanted to stay with Chiba for a while, but thinking of the possibility that Jiu Sinai would be angry, plus Chiba was also tired, she still remembered the sound of Chiba snoring from sleep just now, and Chiba was probably quite tired, so she finally endured it and planned to wait for Chiba to rest tomorrow.
"Yes!"
At this time, Chiba looked at the empty dishes on the table, and immediately stood up and helped Kushina start to clean up.
In a few moments, he had a stack of empty dishes in his hand.
"Chiba ......"
Just when the dishes in his hand were stacked to a certain height, Yukina, who had walked to the top of the stairs, suddenly turned around and said to where he was.
"What's wrong?"
Hearing Xue Na's voice, Chiba hurriedly responded, and her eyes also fell on the beautiful girl who was holding the stairs with one hand, dressed in snow white, and in the extreme position illuminated by candlelight.
"Welcome back. ”
At this time, a sweet smile suddenly appeared on the corner of Xue Na's mouth, and she said in a gentle voice that she had never had before.
"Ah, I'm back. ”
Hearing this, Chiba was stunned for a moment, and then, with a warm smile on the corner of his mouth, he opened his mouth in a deep and soft voice.
In this regard, as if she had gotten the best answer, Xue Nai smiled, turned her head, and went upstairs.
It seems that Xue Na is in a pretty good mood, and the unpleasantness that happened today did not affect her.
That's great......
Seeing Yukina go upstairs, Chiba retracted her gaze and quietly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
"Put it down. ”
And at this moment, Kushina's voice came suddenly.
"Huh?"
Hearing this, Chiba subconsciously looked towards the source of the sound, but saw that Kushina didn't know when, he had already sat down opposite him, looking at him with a serious face, and Kushina's meaning was obviously to let him put down the empty dishes.
In this case, Jiu Sinai asked Xue Nai to rest just now, but he opened Xue Nai and asked him something.
"Sit down. ”
Seeing Chiba's appearance, Jiu Sinai said again, and his tone became more and more solemn.
"Yes......"
Looking at Kushina, Chiba hesitated, put down the stacked empty dishes and chopsticks, and sat down in front of Kushina.
"How's that?'s eyes. ”
As soon as he sat down, Kushina's words, with a little eagerness, came from the other side.
Sure enough, Kushina is going to ask Yukina's eyes!
And at this moment, hearing Kushina's words, Chiba's heart flashed with a sense of understanding.
"Kushina-sensei, do you know the caged bird curse mark?"
Knowing it in his heart, Chiba didn't beat around the bush, and asked directly, but he didn't answer Jiu Sinai directly.
Is the problem with Yukina's eyes really because of the caged bird?
And hearing this, Jiu Sinai frowned, and her face changed, when she went to call Chiba to eat, she saw that Chiba was asleep, so she didn't wake him up, and then, when she was about to go downstairs, she found a scroll on Chiba's desk with a pattern similar to the caged bird spell seal.
Originally, she didn't want to ask this question today, after all, Chiba had just come back, and she didn't want him to be too nervous.
However, when she saw the scroll, she vaguely guessed that the caged bird spell mark might have a lot to do with Yukina's blindness.
As for the caged bird curse mark, she naturally knew very well and understood what the caged bird curse mark was for.
Knowing that the caged bird curse mark was connected to Yukina's eyes, she couldn't sit still.
"Really, it has something to do with the caged bird?"
And the thought flashed in his heart, and Jiu Sinai hesitated for a moment and asked.
"Hmm. ”
Looking at Jiu Sinai's appearance, Chiba knew what Jiu Sinai already knew, and he didn't hide it at the moment, and nodded directly in affirmation.
"How...... How so?"
And hearing Chiba's affirmation, Jiu Sinai was like being struck by lightning, his whole body trembled, and his eyes almost burst out with a bit of despair.
Don't......
Xue Nai will never be able to restore the light for the rest of her life?
And in her heart, it was such a thought.
