My retirement life in Neon

"We are neighbors. We have known each other since we were very young, and our relationship has always been very good. Qianxun's character is relatively cowardly, so she has never had many friends. She always played with me until the first grade of junior high school. When we were in school, we all moved to a new school, but we were not assigned to the same class.”

Lin Zian has always been a good listener. For him, every story has its own unique charm, so he never rushes it.

Miyazune Rie's voice was a little hoarse just after crying, and was mixed with choked sounds from time to time.

"Because Qianxun's personality is unsociable and she doesn't have many friends in the class, she is ostracized by her classmates. However, Qianxun and I didn't care because it has always been like this, from kindergarten to elementary school."

Lin Zian was not surprised. School bullying in Neon is very scary. (Campus bullying is very scary no matter where it is.) Once you are a little bit different from "normal people", you will be coldly beaten, and more seriously, you will be insulted and abused. Beaten.

"Every school has rules, and Tachibana High School (Junior Division) is no exception. Several senior girls came here to collect protection money, but they didn't dare to attack those who were in a group. They could only pick on the lonely ones. Chihiro I was targeted by them, and I didn’t know it at first, until Qianxun asked me to borrow money.”

Lin Zian saw that Chihiro Somu began to become unstable, resentment began to emanate, and the surrounding temperature dropped. Miyazune Rie seemed to feel something, and looked around for a week.

"Qianxun's family is not very rich, but just average. Of course, it cannot afford their blackmail. Finally, Qianxun ran out of money and was taken to the toilet by them. When I arrived, Qianxun has been injured by them."

Waikiki Qianxun was twisted and couldn't even maintain his shape, but Lin Zian still didn't intervene.

"I took Qianxun to the teacher, but it didn't work. The teacher didn't want to take care of it. He just told us to be careful. It seemed that this kind of thing was normal in this school. Because I reported it to the teacher, Qianxun was beaten by them again. And Qianxun didn’t dare to resist them, so Qianxun became their punching bag for a while.”

"Didn't you choose to tell your parents? It's impossible for the school to ignore the parents!"

"Ha, this is about Chihiro's younger brother." Gongzong Rie smiled bitterly, her words full of resentment.

"Qianxun has no status in her family. I also told her parents, but they didn't care. They thought it was just a play between children. Moreover, Qianxun's parents took the school's certificate after Qianxun's accident. The high compensation was paid to move away, so the matter was settled.”

When Lin Zian heard this, he already had a basic understanding of Chihiro Somu's situation. I'm afraid she didn't have any friends or family except Miyazune Rie.

Growing up in such an environment, it was already good for her. Even if she was imprisoned after death and suffered endless torture, she did not immediately attack Lin Zian who broke in, but only after being angered by him. Only then can he fight back instinctively.

"I had a falling out with her because of her cowardice, but I didn't expect Chihiro to die. I didn't know until I went to school the next day." Rie Miyazune cried while holding her head, and started laughing while crying.

"What's ridiculous is that the first reaction of Qianxun's parents when they heard the news was not to hold them accountable, but to ask for compensation. In the end, I was the only one who was making unnecessary persistence."

"You blame yourself for Chihiro Waikiki's death? That's why you became a teacher?"

"If teachers and parents had intervened, if I had not given up on her..." Miyazune Rie's face was filled with pain and emotion.

"But you know, there are no ifs. Chihiro Waikiki's death has become a reality, and you have done everything you should do as a friend, whether it is borrowing money or reporting."

"No...it's all my fault..."

Lin Zian turned his eyes and looked at Qianxun Qianxun, who was stable again. He finally knew what Qianxun Qianxun was missing, which was emotions, strong feelings, and Miyazune Rie was the key to unlocking her inner memory.

The changed Chihiro Somu has a different spirituality than before, as well as resentment that is almost solidified.

"Have you ever thought that it's just that you can't let it go? Maybe Chihiro Wataki has forgiven you, or she has never blamed you."

Maybe it was because he was crying so loudly that Miyazune Rie didn't seem to hear him.

Lin Zian stood up and sat next to Gongzong Rie, held her head with both hands, put her in his arms, and shook his head at Waikiki Qianxun.

Lin Zian was going to wait for her to calm down before telling her. All he could do now was give her a reliable shoulder.

…………

It took much longer for Yukino Yami to wake up than Lin Zian expected. She hadn't slept so comfortably for a long time, so she stayed in bed for a while, closing and opening her eyes, and the day almost passed.

Yukino Yoshimi opened her eyes and looked at the ceiling. She felt comfortable sleeping. Without the whispering, a feeling of relaxation and liberation emanated from her heart.

But why do I feel so empty? It's like losing your favorite toy as a kid.

Yukino Yoshimi instinctively held the pendant. Because of a little force, the fish scale pattern on the jade pendant was printed on her hand. It took her a while to react.

When did I get this pendant?

She took out the pendant. It was a fish ring jade pendant that was far from exquisite, and even a bit crude. She would not have touched this kind of thing before, but she felt that it was something very important to her, but she couldn't remember why it was there. So important.

Never mind, I quite like it.

Yukino Jiamei put the pendant back down. She was going to find something to eat because her stomach told her that she was hungry, very hungry.

The kitchen was neatly arranged, but it was not arranged in the way she was used to. It should be a maid! Yukino Jiamei did not doubt it too much. Although she had learned how to do housework, her identity destined her to stay away from all housework.

"Let me see what's in the refrigerator?" Yukino Jiamei opened the door of the refrigerator like opening a gift box, expecting good things inside.

"Uh..." Yukino Jiamei was a little surprised. There was no snack she liked most in the refrigerator. Instead, there was a box in the middle with an orange on top of it.

Yukino Jiamei picked up the box and found that it was a semi-finished bento. It could be eaten after heating it in the microwave. She looked at the beautifully arranged bento and her mouth was full of saliva. She swallowed it unconsciously.

Yukino Jiamei leaned over and shrugged her nose. The faint aroma aroused the greed in her stomach.

"Ding." The prompt sound of the microwave rang.

Xue Ye Jia Mei carefully took it out. She had eaten an orange while waiting just now. But an orange did not make her feel full, but made her even hungrier. She could no longer restrain her hands.

"Hmm! It smells so good." Xue Ye Jia Mei opened the lunch box. After being stimulated by the heat, the aroma of the lunch box was a little stronger than before.

After a lunch box went into her stomach, Xue Ye Jia Mei rubbed her stomach and moaned with satisfaction.

…………

"Woo... woo... woo..."

Lin Zi An felt a little regretful because his chest was already wet. Women are really made of water.

Lin Zi An felt that he could not sit and wait for death. He had been crying for so long, and there was no end to it.

"Okay, okay, stop crying. Do you still want to know the answer to my investigation?" Lin Zi An held Gong Zong Li Hui's shoulders and pushed her out of his arms.

Gong Zong Lihui looked up at Lin Zian and realized that she had just cried in his arms for a long time, and he was her student. Her face turned red unconsciously, but Lin Zian could not see it.

She had suppressed this matter in her heart for too long. Finally, someone was willing to listen to her, so she was a little carried away.

Gong Zong Lihui tidied herself up and turned her head to prevent Lin Zian from seeing her face.

Treat me like this? Lin Zian didn't even say thank you. He complained about her behavior in his heart.

However, Lin Zian still had a sense of propriety. He didn't forget what he promised her. He didn't care whether she listened to it with her head tilted. He slowly told her about the matter of Toki Chihiro.

"Toki Chihiro was deliberately killed by someone. Didn't I tell you? I found a cult..."

Lin Zian didn't dare to tell her some supernatural things. He just said it was a cult ritual, Toki Chihiro was the sacrifice, and Heizu was the real murderer who killed Toki Chihiro.

Lin Zian didn't intend to tell her all the truth. What he told her was only selected.
