...
In the dark night, the orange-yellow text floated before her eyes, making Haruko feel amazed while also being a little surprised by these few data points.
She didn't expect Ichiko's data towards her to be so finely divided.
As for the negative status, she repented.
Ordinary affection, probably like friends or family.
Love affection, literally, how much Ichiko loves herself.
Possessive affection, this was the most unexpected for Haruko. She completely didn't expect there would be a possessiveness data point.
She originally thought that it would be enough to max out Ichiko's love affection towards her. Now it seems, if this possessiveness is also maxed out.
In the future, there won't even be the possibility of Ichiko's emotions changing due to the world will!
But there's only 49 points of love affection...
It didn't even reach the passing line of 60 points. Ichiko, you really make me sad~
The small stuffed doll suddenly bloomed with a momentary red light.
This was especially obvious in the dark room.
However, as soon as Haruko turned her head, she met a pair of cat-like vertical pupils, but they were a ghostly green color.
This pair of green eyes almost startled Haruko.
"Meow?"
The owner of the green cat eyes seemed afraid of waking the sleeping cat servant, and even its meow was incredibly soft.
Hearing the sound, Haruko breathed a sigh of relief.
What the heck, so it was Big King.
You dead cat, you almost scared me to death.
Haruko reached out and pushed Big King's face away, "Go play somewhere else, don't bother me. I'm just a stuffed doll right now."
After pushing, Haruko immediately felt herself being lifted into the air in an instant.
Only when she came back to her senses did she realize that her small body had actually been picked up by Big King.
"You... you stupid cat, quickly put me down..."
Haruko had just started speaking in a low voice, but then she was afraid that Ichiko would wake up, so she cursed under her breath but didn't make a sound.
She swore that when her body recovered and she returned home, she would show this stupid cat who the real master was!
And!
Stop carrying me around, damn it! Ichiko finally got a good night's sleep. If you wake her up, I'll make soup out of you tomorrow!
...
Fortunately, after playing for a little while, Big King quietly lay back in its cat bed.
Haruko also took the opportunity to return to the pile of stuffed dolls, so as not to wake Ichiko.
She just watched the person she loved sleeping soundly, as the night deepened and gave way to dawn.
How well a person slept the night before is clearly known the moment they wake up.
Either the body is tired, the throat is dry, and there is a clear feeling of soreness after opening the eyes for a while.
Similarly, when in a good mental state, the moment you wake up, you will have a feeling of "I haven't had such a good sleep in a long time" and clearly feel energized.
Ichiko had such a feeling.
Ever since Haruko attempted suicide once.
No, even before that, she rarely had a peaceful sleep where her whole body was relaxed.
But this time when she woke up, Ichiko could clearly feel that her body fatigue was much more relaxed, her head didn't hurt much anymore, and her stomach even clearly sent a feeling of hunger to remind her to eat.
If Haruko were wearing the Status Glasses at this time, she would find that many of Ichiko's physical and mental negative buffs had decreased.
At the very least, the severity level had decreased.
Ichiko lifted the covers, sat on the bed blankly, and reached out to touch her cheek, also with a face full of confusion.
There was even a hint of disbelief in her eyes.
"Why did I sleep so comfortably last night..."
"This is wrong, isn't it unreasonable?"
"Haruko is clearly gone, so why can I still sleep so soundly?"
Ichiko covered her head in pain. She had thought it would be like usual, half-asleep and half-awake, followed by another tiring day.
She would rather live in pain and anxiety, even if she gradually got used to it in the future, it shouldn't be like this now.
Normally, she could only get a somewhat peaceful sleep by holding Haruko while sleeping.
Now that Haruko is gone.
Instead, she slept better?
What a joke!
Isn't this just like saying she doesn't need Haruko at all!
Even if it was a stress reliever, in a state of excessive self-blame, she would constantly make connections.
Her physical fatigue was much better, but the better mental state, although it wouldn't make her muddle-headed, allowed her to more clearly realize the reality that Haruko was no longer here.
Sitting on the bed in silence for a long time, Ichiko still slowly got up.
She went out, bought groceries, and made breakfast for two. Ichiko could clearly feel that her body and mind had recovered well.
But the more this was the case, the worse her mood became.
Wait a minute?
Could it be because of that pill that she slept soundly, didn't have nightmares, and felt relaxed?
Her memory went back to the night before they argued.
Haruko was worried about her and gave her a pill that would allow her to sleep soundly after taking it.
She had thought that it wasn't a good thing.
As a result, in the end, she, who prided herself on seeing Haruko as the most important person, didn't even dare to believe her words?
Then what else can I do for Haruko now?
Ichiko ate her meal blankly and then opened a box.
Almost numbly, she took out a bottle of white wine.
The wine went down her throat.
It didn't seem so spicy anymore.
Time passed bit by bit, and in the blink of an eye, half a day had passed. Ichiko unconsciously drank several more glasses of white wine.
In the past, such a taste would have been rejected.
But now, only when drinking, when her head was dizzy, did Ichiko feel that she was closest to Haruko.
It's just... this taste still doesn't quite resemble it.
"I still want to be closer to Haruko..."
It's just, no matter how much wine she drinks, she can't achieve that.
