Once a person is caught up in the reminiscence of the past, it often becomes difficult to get rid of it, and this is especially true of Harugami, who already thinks that he is not a person with a strong character.

Turn up the gas slightly and put the prepared meat and washed and chopped vegetables in a preheated pan. With the crisp sizzling sound, the fragrance of the vegetables overflowed for the first time. The girl gently stirred the dishes in the pan and spilled the pre-mixed spices into it at the right time. Immediately, the rich fragrance wafted in, which stimulated the appetite.

"If there were vanilla, it would be more suitable. However, this should be more or less a substitute. ”

"Hmm...... Well. ”

If Qiongno turns around at this time, he should be able to see Harukami's more complicated expression.

It's not that there is any reluctance, it's just that it feels strange, and the conversation doesn't hold up.

Although Dono himself did not know about it, Harumami, who attended the Tokiwadai Midsummer Festival, did know about Dono's craftsmanship. Just looking at her skillfully busy in the kitchen, it is obviously a very daily behavior, and it also gives people a sense of virtuous and elegant when she does it. But to be honest, there is a sense of disobedience.

What should I say? If you just look at the impression she gives people now, it's hard to imagine what it would be like when she cooks herself. Even if you already know that she is very good at cooking, it is difficult to imagine that she naturally stands in the kitchen.

Because it was too mundane and too common imagination, I always felt that it could not be connected with the impression of her well-informed daughter.

Unconsciously, she even gave the impression of being a little too detached. Even if she knows her past in the spring, she is more or less stunned at this time.

However, is this part of the contradiction in the past or the present? Is it the dome in my memory, or the dome in front of me now? If you want to say adaptation, it's really good. It's not so much a simple adaptation, but perhaps a bit more credible to "find yourself".

This possibility really can't be ruled out. These children who have come out of the care center, to be honest, the real "past" is more or less not so clear. And among these people, Qiong Nai is the most unclear one.

Of the children of the year, Dome was the last to appear among them. Since then, no one has really said where she came from, not even herself. There is indeed no child in the nursing home who is more special than her.

"It can't be the eldest lady who has been abducted by some rich family, right?"

In my memory, there should be more than one person who has had such speculations, which naturally includes the stumbling reason that she has always cared about her. Because of his outstanding appearance and the origin of which no one can tell clearly, this suspicion existed from the beginning. It's just that her performance at that time was so special that no one really wanted to dig into it. It seems that after the investigation was fruitless, the nursing home did not continue to work on this matter - this is also an incomprehensible thing. Compared to other children, Dome Nai's body undoubtedly has the most clues that may be related to her identity, and she even has a school city ID card as an identification mark. But none of these clues seem to be able to be traced.

Therefore, if her behavior when she first arrived at the orphanage is understood as some kind of self-protection for the unfamiliar environment, I am afraid it is not so convincing.

Harukami looked at her now, but his mind was full of memories of the past.

Clear, vague, benign, malicious, warm, indifferent......

Memories flood in, but none of them are related to the present, why is that?

Thinking like this, Harukami showed a complex expression that looked like a daze and like a haunted.

It's just that this kind of memory can't last after all. Because soon, my friend brought out the prepared meal. Harugami, who is obviously not relieved at all, can only put down his thoughts at this time and honestly accept the kindness of his friends.

As a cross-border with the past, Dono cooks Harukami's favorite dishes. Harugami had that blank expression again, and his mouth kept chewing.

"What's wrong? Not to your taste?

"No, it's delicious. I just didn't expect you to remember this. ”

Hearing her say this, Dome temporarily put down the utensils in her hand and tilted her head slightly.

"Why don't you remember?"

Harugami tucked his shoulders inward.

"Really...... That's right......"

I always feel that there is some kind of subtle gap between the memories of the two. Harukami whispered, then lowered his head and continued eating.

Even from a discerning eye, the dishes made by the dome are superb. For Harugami, who was famous for his gluttony at the nursing home, the attraction can be imagined.

However, it is not known whether there is any other reason for this.

_

Even after eating, Mai Tamin and Hatsuharu still showed no signs of returning. In this matter, Dome really wanted to thank them for their thoughtfulness.

Because, she has so many things to ask, so many things to know. It's just that she is really not good at taking the initiative to provoke topics, so she doesn't know how to speak. As a result, the atmosphere became strange.

"That...... Why don't you use your abilities today? ”

In the end, it was Harugami who opened his mouth first. Moreover, the question she asked made Dome stunned.

Although she is not very active in personality, she has always been very sharp in thinking. In other words, although she is not good at setting up games, she is quite good at breaking games. Although Harukami only asked such a question, she understood a lot in just a moment. For a moment, her expression was a little gloomy.

It's not that she hasn't guessed that maybe Harugami is deliberately avoiding herself, but she can't think of a reason for Harugami to do so. And my brother once said to himself that it shouldn't be possible for Harukami to know in advance where he is when he often flies in the sky. It sounded so plausible at the time, so she put the guess aside. Now, though, apparently that suspicion has been confirmed.

Even from this short sentence, Qiongno could imagine the way in which Harugami knew where he was. I'm afraid that she is not directly aware of herself, but when she uses her ability within a certain range, she can feel it in some way, although the specific principle is still not too clear......

"Well, there are all sorts of reasons." Slightly, feeling a little lonely, Dome smiled bitterly. "I didn't expect it to bother you......"

"Not really!"

Harukami stood up almost immediately. Because the reaction was so intense, even she couldn't help but be stunned. Realizing this, she sat down again, somewhat awkwardly.

"Not really."

Taking a deep breath, she calmed herself down.

"I just don't think I should bother your life anymore......"

She repeated the reasons she had told Mitsuki Kaihara. It's just that she herself feels that she is not so much explaining to the dome as she may be convincing herself.

This is not a lie, of course, but it is only one of three reasons.

Hearing Harukami say this, although Dome looked surprised, he also seemed to be relieved.

"Clothes."

Harukami, who was a little weak-hearted, had to raise his head when he heard her shout her name.

Seeing Dome No's expression, Harukami couldn't help but be stunned.

The expression on her face was neither disgruntled nor sad, but a faint smile that contained accusations.

Her lips were filled with reproach.

"Do you think I'll care about that?"

It is impossible for Dome herself to notice, but at this time, she behaves very much like the person she now calls "mother".

"Woo......"

Seeing that soft but not innocent smile, it was like a heavy blow, and Harukami couldn't help but let out a clumsy moan.

In a way, this is also a conceivable reaction, and it is not unexpected. However, for this conceivable answer, Harugami was still speechless.

Thinking of what Qiongno didn't say explicitly, Harugami felt a faint pain in the depths of his heart, which was unavoidable. It's just that, despite this, there is no way to turn back......

Seeing her like this, Dome exhaled softly, and duly pulled away from the topic.

"However, you still haven't changed after all, you're still so lacking in self-confidence."

"Yes, is that so?"

"Hmm. However, "Dome folded his hands together and smiled innocently. "It's getting prettier."

This is indeed her true feeling.

The passage of time has not brought too many qualitative changes to Harugami's appearance, but it has made her more beautiful. Today's spring is said to be a beauty, and no one will object.

Ming Ming Qiong Nai said this softly, and Ming Ming Qiong Nai still had such a gentle smile on his face.

However, Harumami's body suddenly aroused a chill.

His mouth couldn't make a sound, and even his fingers began to lose control. It took some effort to maintain normal breathing, but the feeling of weakness quickly invaded the whole body.

"I'm sorry, I'll go to the toilet......"

It took some effort for her to get the words out of her mouth.

Closing the door to the toilet, Harukami leaned over the sink and retched uncontrollably.

"Ah...... Yes...... Ah......h

From the poor thin lips, the hard ** is constantly leaking.

Desperately trying to control himself, he can only let out a meaningless monosyllabic scream. There seemed to be countless electric currents passing through the body, and all the senses were stimulated to numbness, but the consciousness was extremely awake.

With trembling hands, he pulled out a small transparent box from his pocket. Inside this box, there are a few small, blood-red crystals scattered around.

She took only one slice of it and carefully placed it in her mouth.

There was no feeling of swallowing. As soon as the tiny bright red wafer touched the tongue, it seemed to turn into gas.

However, the warm feeling immediately flowed through her body, filling her body.

Of course, Harukami also knows that all this is just an illusion. But there is one thing that lies behind this illusion that is true.

Her perception changed as the bright red chip melted into her mouth.

She felt an ascent in her realm, a feeling of being in touch with the immensity of immensity, a feeling of looking down on all beings like a god, an uncontrollable satisfaction and happiness.

It was an intoxicating feeling.

"Ah...... Yes...... Ah......h

The voice gradually changed its tone, from pain to grace, blooming like a flower.

Burst!

The ** of the red-faced girl who made people listen to it stopped abruptly, and a large cloud of red erupted from the girl's mouth, and sprinkled it directly on the mirror in front of the sink, and the world in the mirror suddenly became blood-red.

If someone sees this scene, they will definitely be frightened. But at this time, Harukami couldn't care about anything.

Because, whenever she experienced that feeling of intoxication, there was only one thought left in her heart—

Want more, more......
