Monday, after school.

Qiao Qiao rode a small motorcycle to Hikou Xiaoyeko's residence.

After pressing the doorbell, Qiao Qiao opened the electronic lock of the door before he could speak his name.

If this continues, will one day before I can ring the doorbell, I can see Higuchi Sayako standing at the door waiting for me?

Qiao Qiao walked through the yard and glanced at the plants in the yard. Well, it seemed to have been renovated.

When spring comes, beautiful flowers will bloom.

When he arrived at the door of the house, Qiao Qiao's hand was put on the door and was about to knock when the heavy security door opened.

"Please come in."

Today, Higuchi Sakiko wore a khaki sleeveless cotton shirt and a hollow pure white cotton skirt. She also wore a small sesame gray vertical vest on the outside, and a cute hair accessories were dotted on her long hair, which looked no different from those 16 or 17-year-old girls outside.

For some reason, Higuchi Sayako seemed very happy.

Qiao Qiao changed into indoor slippers and came to the living room.

I smelled the scent of food.

"Actually, I tried cooking myself, although it was just the simplest curry..."

After receiving the information sent by Qiao Qiao, Higuchi Sayako stopped looking and said softly.

“This is really amazing.”

Thinking of Hikou Sakiko's situation, I guess it took a lot of effort to get the ingredients.

According to the information of the Spiritual Extermination Association, Higuchi Sako's diet is basically told to the people in charge through lines and sent it regularly every day.

There are also specific notes on the information. Because I am worried that Hikou Sakiko may cause an accident when cooking by herself, it is not recommended that the caregiver give her untreated ingredients.

Of course, these are all based on Higuchi Sako's will. If she really wants to try, no one can stop her.

"That, I seem to have done too much by accident, so..."

Higuchi Sayako didn't know Qiao Qiao's thoughts, and glanced at this side as she murmured.

"Then let me try it, I'm just a little hungry."

Qiao Qiao understood the other party’s meaning and spoke.

"Really, it's great!"

Hikou Xiaoyezi jumped and ran to the kitchen.

Soon, two plates of curry with a strong aroma were served.

"Please use it."

Qiao Qiao picked up the spoon, mixed the cooked rice with curry and put it into her mouth.

Japanese curry is much lighter than real curry and not very spicy. Qiao Qiao actually doesn’t like the curry here.

But Higuchi Sako's curry tastes very good.

"tasty."

Qiao Qiao commented.

"Then I'll feel relieved."

Hikou Sayako started to eat curry himself.

The two of them were having curry while talking about learning issues. At least Higuchi Sakiko was very happy.

Qiao Qiao also had a rare relaxation.

"Then I'll go clean up..."

Higuchi Sayako just picked up the plate.

Just because I didn't master the balance, one of the plates fell to the ground.

Crazy-

The ceramic plate immediately broke, leaving fragments of big and small on the ground.

thump--

Qiao Qiao felt his heart seem to have a beat.

A feeling of worry, regret, and self-blame surges into my heart.

He saw Higuchi Sayako subconsciously wanted to pick up the fragments, but his hand was cut by the sharp edge.

However, the wound was fleeting, and the next moment, in the same position on Qiao Qiao's hand, the same wound appeared and the blood flowed continuously.

"?"

While confused, Qiao Qiao also understood.

This is the abnormality of Hikou Sakiko.

Whether it is physical or spiritual, any experience that makes her feel "unhappy" will be transferred to others.

And Qiao Qiao, the closest to him, naturally became an object.

"......Feel sorry."

When Higuchi Sayako saw Qiao Qiao's appearance, she lowered her head and apologized softly.

But even that guilty feeling moved to Qiao Qiao's heart.

"It's okay, I'll clean up."

Qiao Qiao took out the bandage from his backpack, treated the wound briefly, and then found a cleaning tool to clean up the debris of the plate.

During this period, Higuchi Koyako sat on the sofa in the living room, keeping silent.

Since negative emotions will be directly transferred to Qiao Qiao, he can feel the same mood until the end, completely calm down.

"Does Qiao Sang know about me?"

Seeing that Qiao Qiao had already helped to clean up, Higuchi asked.

The sound was like thin ice, cold and cold, just like the first time the two met.

"It's probably because I've read the association's files."

Qiao Qiao replied truthfully.

Since Higuchi Sayako asked this, she should know a little about the situation on Qiaoqiao.

A moment of surprise followed by confusion.

Qiao Qiao felt this way, and saw Higuchi Sakiko was silent for a moment, and asked again.

"So, Qiao San is going to become Sakamoto San, and Natsume San and the others are like that?"

The end of the speech, with a little regret.

“Are you keeping your distance from you?”

"Yes, only in this way can I not hurt you or myself."

Higuchi Sayako tried her best to restrain her emotions.

Even this restraint was transferred to Qiaoqiao without reservation.

Without expectations, you will naturally not be disappointed.

As long as you eliminate the connection with others, you will naturally not be hurt.

Keep a cold heart and you won’t hurt others.

The happiest girl in the world chose to be alone for the sake of the rest of the world.

"No, I won't keep my distance from you."

Qiao Qiao replied.

Higuchi Sayoko was a little surprised.

Her mood did not shift to Qiao Qiao.

I guess it must be some good mood.

"There is a proverb in China."

Qiao Qiao spoke again.

"The guy who can make delicious curry is definitely not a bad guy."

Puff—

Hearing Qiao Qiao's serious speech, Higuchi Koyoko couldn't help laughing.

"Is this a proverb you just compiled by Qiao Sang?"

"I believe Higuchi San won't hurt me, just as Higuchi San believes I won't hurt you."
