Chiori Ina held the medicine for her mother in her hand, walked and ran all the way, and finally arrived at the house in about 20 minutes.

This is an old house with a Japanese style.

Chiori Ina rushed into the house almost as soon as she got home.

Shuichi Harano stayed at the door of the mansion and looked at this ancient mansion.

After all, he is a ghost who wants to live with Chiori Ina in the future, and he must have a general understanding of the environment in which he lives.

The house is divided into two floors, the house is not big, very deserted, almost no one takes care of it, there are a few potted plants in the corner of the house, but this time it has all withered.

Shuichi Harano sighed, "It seems that Chiori Ina's life is more difficult than I thought......"

He originally thought that Chiori Ina was just a stepfather who was unfriendly to her, but he didn't expect this stepfather to be a poor ghost.

Judging from the architectural style of this ancient house, it is obviously more old, and it should be the product of the previous generation or even the previous generation.

Just staying at the door for a while, Harano Shuichi stepped into the ancient mansion.

The scene I saw in front of me was almost exactly what Shuichi Harano had guessed, and the overall style could be described in one word.

Poor.

The breath in the nose is the smell of herbs.

As a ghost, he doesn't seem to be deprived of his five senses.

Wait a minute.

Do ghosts need to breathe?

Shuichi Harano tried to pinch his nose with his hand.

Well, the ghost doesn't need to breathe.

But if he wanted to breathe, he could, and the two were not affected in any way.

And if you're a ghost, you probably won't have to snore.

The smell of medicine that Shuichi Harano smelled came from the kitchen, and the first thing Chiori Ina did when she got home was to put her school bag in her room, and then went to see her mother, and then came to the kitchen alone to boil the medicine.

Her body was a little thin, but at this moment, in the eyes of Shuichi Harano, she was greater than herself.

"If you don't steal the croissant, the matter will be postponed......"

Chiori Ina is pitiful, she is a human being.

But what about himself, he is just a lonely spirit, he doesn't even have someone to talk to, and he is also miserable, okay?

Shuichi Harano, who hadn't been in the kitchen for long, withdrew, and went to a room on the first floor to see Chiori Ina's birth mother.

She was in poor shape, her complexion was very pale, and she was lying on the bed with a thick blanket and a wheelchair beside her.

There was a window against the bed, which was closed, but a ray of slanting sun could shine in.

Luckily, across the street from the bed was an old TV that could be used to kill a little time.

"Hey. ”

A soft sigh.

Shuichi Harano knew that even if Chiori Ina knew what her mother's illness was, judging from the family's financial situation, she might not be able to pay a large amount of medical expenses.

Instead, this compromise can only be used to delay the deterioration of the condition.

Next to the TV, there is a picture pinned with a frame.

In the photo, the family is smiling peacefully, the woman on the bed still has a faint smile on her face at that time, next to a slightly fat middle-aged man, and on the shoulders of the middle-aged man is riding a boy about six or seven years old.

In this photo, Shuichi Harano did not find Chiori Ina.

"It seems that since the woman in bed got married, Chiori Ina has never enjoyed the warmth of the family again, and this home has only given her an environment where she can stay...... But this home is a little cold for her. ”

Shuichi Harano originally felt pitiful because he died, but compared to Chiori Ina, at least someone was sad when he died, but what about Chiori Ina?

If she died, would anyone grieve for her?

Shuichi Harano then went up to the second floor.

On the second floor, he smelled something else.

Alcohol.

"Still an alcoholic?"

As soon as he entered one of the doors, he saw a dozen bottles of beer piled up on the floor, scattered all over the floor, and some cigarette ash on the table that had not been shaken into the ashtray.

This is where the man usually rests and sleeps.

Because Chiori Ina's mother was seriously ill, the two of them directly separated the bed, and he didn't care much about Chiori Ina's mother, these are the secrets of Harano Shuichi listening to the whispers of medical staff in the hospital.

Of course, these words were not a secret to Shuichi Harano, because he was standing beside the two of them and listening openly.

It's not even 'eavesdropping'.

Next to this master bedroom is a second bedroom with some children's toys, gundams, and even a comfortable soft bed.

This is supposed to be the boy's room in the photo.

Compared to Chiori Ina's room, Chiori Ina's half-brother can be said to be too happy, not only has his favorite toys, but even the bed is soft.

Shuichi Harano went to see Chiori Ina's room, which can be described as miserable, a small room, only one windowsill, and it is difficult to put a third thing in it except for a desk and a bed, and the bed is still a hard bed.

For Chiori Ina who is still growing her body, this is simply inhumane.

No wonder Chiori Ina looks so thin and so small.

Soon, there was movement downstairs.

Shuichi Harano watched Chiori Ina carefully hold a bowl of medicine to feed her mother, and accompanied her for a while.

Chiori Ina then left her mother's room and went up to the second floor to tidy up her stepfather's room.

She straightened all the bottles and cleared the table and the floor again.

By the time everything was done, Chiori Ina was already sweating profusely.

At around 7:20 p.m., Chiori Ina took out her homework in her schoolbag and began to work on her small desk.

Shuichi Harano stepped forward and glanced at it.

"This is the math paper of the third year of junior high school, and it is actually the third year of junior high school like me, is this fate......"

Five minutes later, Shuichi Harano's brow furrowed.

Chiori Ina actually made a mistake on such a simple issue, which is very undeserved!

You know, knowledge changes fate!

If Chiori Ina wants to live a different life, then reading good books is obviously a good shortcut.

But Chiori Ina is not the material for reading.

Harano stretched out his hand to pat Chiori Ina on the shoulder and told her that this question was algorithmically wrong, and it should be like this.

But as expected, when his hand touched Chiori Ina's shoulder, it sank directly into Chiori Ina's body and entered Chiori Ina's body.

"Hey, there's no touch...... She won't feel it......"

At the same time, Chiori Ina glanced over her shoulder.
