I really want to know what the cat brother did to Kuro Kudo.

Fingerprints, lip rings, and stuff like that... Haha.

Shuichi Akai:?

At this moment, Akai Shuichi, who was wearing Okiya Subaru's shell and putting on his shoes, sneezed.

The pink-haired man didn't pay much attention. He tied his shoelaces into a beautiful bow with his bony hands, stood up and said to Kudo with a smile, "Let's go, Hajime."

Lu Qi: ...? Are Ning and I familiar with each other?

Seeing Kudo slightly stunned, Okiya Subaru looked a little distressed, "No? I thought a lot of people called you that."

Lu Qi:……

Temptation, absolute temptation!

It's just acting, he will be good at it.

"...Yeah," the boy paused and responded in a low voice.

There was something awkward and unnatural in her tone, as if she was rarely called that, but she didn't refuse because of a hidden desire in her heart.

"Well, where do you want to go?" Subaru Okiya opened the door, naturally turned his head and ignored the question, and asked.

“…”

I don't want to go anywhere.

This answer vaguely emerged in Kudo's mind.

This was not a place he was familiar with, and the people here were not people he was familiar with. Those people and places that had special meanings seemed to have nothing to do with him.

The freedom he had worked so hard to gain here seemed to have lost its meaning.

"Park." Such thoughts flashed through his mind, and Kudo naturally took up the previous pause and casually mentioned a place.

"Okay." Subaru Okiya seemed not to notice his hesitation and said, "Since we are going to the park, let's walk there."

"It's a good time to exercise."

The pink-haired man smiled gently.

Kudo did not object.

He walked in the long-lost sunshine, and it felt like he hadn't been in the sun for a long time. The last time was...

Kudo's originally smooth steps paused for a moment, and the bright sunny sky seemed to be suddenly covered with haze.

The last time was before that incident.

He withdrew his slightly pleased gaze, and his sea-blue eyes became calm again.

……?

It seemed that he suddenly stepped on something thick, so Kudo moved his foot away and lowered his head to take a look.

It was a brown leather wallet, and judging by the thickness, it must have at least 100,000 yen in it.
