Hinata Hajime opened his eyes, and then he realized that it was already night and the room was pitch dark.

I didn't turn on the lights because there was nothing to do at this time.

Hinata Hajime turned over in bed, and then a book hit his waist. He took out the book and saw the name on the cover in the moonlight. It was the novel called Lily.

Finally, he turned on the light. The novel, which was blank the last time he read it, had now been written. So Hinata Hajime read the book from beginning to end. After finishing it, he put the book aside and was silent.

This book is a fairy tale story. The protagonists of the novel are two girls who grew up together.

They were best friends and most important sisters, but because their parents divorced, they were forced to separate, one stayed in Italy and the other went to the United States with her mother, but even so they still corresponded and emailed each other, and were happy even if they couldn't see each other.

Until one day, the mother in the United States died unexpectedly. After the grief, the sister who followed her mother decided to bring her mother's ashes back home.

This story unfolds here. The elder sister who has not returned home for a long time lost her luggage at the airport, and the younger sister was anxiously waiting at home. They were eager to see each other, break through the difficulties and finally hug each other.

"This book was originally written by Ivy for No." Hinata Hajime looked at the end of the book.

There is a handwritten message on it - To my dear friend.

"Ivy and Nuo worked together to write this book, and then sent it to Nuo with a message on it. Ivy didn't expect that she would find out that she was Nuo, and then Ivy deleted Nuo's friend list." Hinata Hajime murmured, "It seems that the story that was sent out was not perfect enough."

"The elder sister was ultimately trapped and did not meet her younger sister. Or rather, the elder sister never intended to take that step at all."

[Your focus shouldn't just be this.] Kamukura's voice was calm,

"What should that be...wait!" Hinata Sou sat up suddenly, "Ivy asked Nuo for her home address, and then mailed this book to Nuo, which means that Ivy actually has Nuo's address here!"

[Not only did we have Nuo's address, but in Nuo's memory, Nuo kept checking and blocking her account, which I had already noted down.]

"…So I'm the only one who's been paying attention to that weird thing that's talking to No."

【It’s not too late. 】

"Um!"

Hinata Hajime got out of bed, found the computer provided to him by Vongola, and began to search for information in an organized manner.

The Internet has memory. Even after several years, message records are not completely untraceable. Although it is not easy to dig them out, it is not impossible.

Countless symbols appeared in front of Hinata Sou, and Hinata Sou began to search one by one.

Of course, Hinata Hajime also checked Ivy's previous mailing address, but she was a writer and had mailed out books many times, especially in March three years ago, when her new book was released and there were countless mailing messages. It was a bit difficult to find Nuo's address from among them.

"Sure enough, news records from three years ago are not easy to find."

[That's not right.] Kamiya Izuru denied, [After reading the book, Ivy's emotions broke down and she has been regretting it. Since she was feeling regretful, she must have been reluctant to leave. In such a mood, she must have left something behind as a souvenir.]

"In memory of..." Hinata Hajime stopped searching the chat history, and then he moved the mouse to a private favorites folder.

The privacy lock was useless to Hinata Hajime. The moment he cracked it, he saw the pictures.

At the beginning, it was their acquaintance. They were discussing the plot and characters, joking with each other, expressing their emotions and thoughts bit by bit, and occasionally quarreling but would quickly reconcile. It went on until the end, and Hinata Hajime finally saw the familiar chat records.

Ivy saved all of this stuff, including No's address.

She did feel regretful, and she even kept Nuo's address, thinking about sending her something to apologize someday.

As the problems became more and more complicated, the despair broke out, and the literary world collapsed first, and then spread to the whole world. Ivy no longer dared to tell others that he had known Nuo.

Ivy was a coward, so she couldn't forgive herself.

"This is it." Hinata Hajime printed out the address. "The fragment of despair appeared in Nuo's home. Let's go there first. We will definitely find more information."

After opening the door, Hinata Hajime put the printed address in his pocket. His long black hair was casually tied behind his head. He walked on the street in the dark and called Sawada Tsunayoshi as he walked.

Unexpectedly, the other side picked up the call quickly.

"Mr. Hinata?"

"Tsunayoshi, you haven't slept yet?"

"Ah, I'm working overtime." Sawada Tsunayoshi sighed, "It's mainly because Shiran is getting restless. I don't know what she's doing, so I don't dare to sleep. I can only watch. Where's Mr. Hinata? Why don't you sleep at this time and call me?"

Hinata responded, "I found Nuo's address."

"What?" Sawada Tsunayoshi sat up suddenly. He was a little sleepy just now, but now he was completely gone. "Really?"

"It's true." Hinata Hajime said hello to the gatekeeper of the base, and then left the North Base. "I have to go there first. You keep an eye on that person named Ivy. She knows a lot about Nuo. If she finds out, Bai Lan might take action against her."

"I see." Sawada Tsunayoshi quickly opened the screen in front of him, "Where is Nuo's address?"

Hinata Hajime offered Sawada Tsunayoshi a position, and Sawada Tsunayoshi nodded, "I understand, Rokudo Mukuro hasn't left yet, I'll let Rokudo Mukuro join you."

"Isn't he afraid of me anymore?"

"Eh? Is he afraid of you?"

"No, it's okay." Hinata Hajime coughed, "I didn't say anything just now."

Sawada Tsunayoshi fell into deep thought, "Hinata-san, did anything happen between you and Rokudo Mukuro without my knowledge? It seems that one day, your hair suddenly became very long, and Jigokudera said that you were playing Cosplay. I asked you, and you said it was an illusion."

"Anyway, the secret message is left to you."

With a click, the call was disconnected and Tsunayoshi Sawada took the phone down.

“The call was hung up on for the second time.”

"...But, after all, Hyuga-san is still Hyuga-san."

Sawada Tsunayoshi started calling Rokudo Mukuro, and after the call he continued to monitor Byakuran. In order to prevent the news from leaking, he did not tell anyone except Rokudo Mukuro.

Only after this incident is dealt with properly can he seriously continue to fight Bai Lan.

…

The streets were completely empty, not a single person was there, not only because it was late at night, but also because of the previous incident, all normal people had already gone to the shelters, and even if there were people, they were only those who were consumed by despair.

Hinata Hajime went around an alley and turned into an empty residential area according to the address, and soon he found the door.

I put my hand on the handle, but it wouldn't move. It was locked.

That desperate incident happened so suddenly that few people had time to pack up and lock their doors. Hinata Hajime even saw several doors open. He subconsciously looked around and when he saw the empty streets, he remembered that there was no one here anymore.

Hinata Hajime took out a wire from his pocket, inserted the wire into the keyhole, and with a click, the door opened.

Pulling out the wire and putting it aside, he entered the room. The moment he entered, he felt familiar with it.

The layout of the house was exactly the same as what he had seen in his dream before, whether it was the keyboard on the table or the old computer. Hinata Sou walked to the computer and checked the machine, but because the power had been cut off long ago, he couldn't turn on the computer.

After brushing off the dust in the air, Hinata Hajime opened the drawer of the cabinet. The next moment, some colorful notebooks appeared in front of Hinata Hajime.

He opened the notebook, and the handwriting that had not yet faded appeared before him.

Nuo wrote his inspirations on it, with vivid words on it, and also drew little people with simple sketches.

Perhaps because he was very happy when writing it, Nuo even drew a little heart next to it and covered it with red pen.

"She doesn't look that affected." Hinata Hajime looked at the date on it, which was April three years ago. "Whether her work was stolen or her favorite online friends deleted her, none of these things dampened her passion for creation."

“She’s very strong.”

【Someone.】

"Um?"

Hinata Hajime turned his head, and the next moment a gust of wind brushed across his cheek. Rokudo Mukuro slowly appeared in the air holding a trident, and he smiled.

"Nice to see you again, Mr. Hinata. You are still so sensitive."

"It's you." Hinata Hajime looked him up and down. "You've changed a lot in the past ten years."

"Hmph." Rokudo Mukuro loosened his grip, and the trident disappeared from his hand. "So this is the home of the author Nuo?"

Hinata Sou nodded, "Yeah."

"Did you find anything useful?"

“Not yet.”

Rokudo Mukuro remembered Sawada Tsunayoshi's order to "put everything under Mr. Hinata's wing". He snorted coldly and threw the thing in his arms to Hinata Hajime. He watched Hinata Hajime take the thing with a notebook before speaking, "This is the manuscript."

"Manuscript?" Hinata Hajime put down the book in his hand and began to read the words on it. "Is there any difference between this manuscript and the final published book?"

"I haven't seen it. It's not just me. Probably the only people who have seen it are the Vongola." Rokudo Mukuro looked at the dusty room and waved his hand in disdain. "Three years ago in September, there was a fire at the publishing house. Almost the entire publishing house was burned down. Hibari and I didn't expect to find anything, but we found this in the ashes."

"You can see that this thing has not been burned by fire at all."

Hinata Hajime nodded, he opened the manuscript, and the next moment he saw a blank space.

Wait, blank?

It seemed that the last time he and Izuru fell into a dream, it was also because they saw a blank book.

No way.

"Hey, Namimori's Miracle?" Rokudo Mukuro sensed something was wrong, he walked over and carefully touched Hinata Hajime's shoulder.

The next moment, Hinata Hajime's figure slowly fell down.

Rokudo Mukuro was startled. He quickly caught the fallen Hinata Hajime, and the manuscript rolled to the ground.

"What?" Liudao Mukuro frowned, "Hey, wake up."

“…It’s none of my business.”
