I just want to be a regular writer

Kira Yoshikage looked down at his watch.

——His watch is also normal.

He means that even in his line of sight, time is normal.

"...Hey, I suddenly thought of something disgusting!" Asakura Teru, who hadn't said a word, suddenly rubbed his arms, showing a cold expression.

"What if! I mean what if!"

Asakura repeated it repeatedly, and then made a retching action: "If the retrograde time only happened in this store, will we be able to see later... the guests spit out chewed ingredients from their mouths? And then the sloppy food becomes its original state again?"

"...Shut up." Kira Yoshikage had a headache, and by the way, the little appetite left by Asakura Teru disappeared without a trace.

Weird, it seems to be infiltrating Sendai City quietly.

From their vision.

The unprovoked load-bearing column from the Too Town tram station.

Also from... the time of this haute cuisine restaurant.

'Can you confuse it?'

Kira Yoshikage was puzzled, and could not find a connection to connect these abnormal things together.

This is just great.

Everyone lost their appetite, and the curtain came to an end before the long-lost dinner party began.

That night

Nana Kawakami curled up at the foot of the bed, staring at the puppet with a strange smile in front of her with alert eyes.

She has completely understood it-no one can see this little marionette that seems to have crawled out of a horror movie.

She understands more than this.

Whether she wants it or not, time is forcing her to face this matter.

As a result, Nana Kawakami began to understand-this puppet is "on her side", even if it has a terrifying face, it can still be called a "companion".

Mom and Dad are still working overtime.

She has a privileged family background, even if her parents are not there, the comprehensive nanny will prepare every nutritious meal for her.

Nana Kawakami was a little hungry.

Even if it takes more time to confront the puppet, it will not speak.

It seemed to be aware of Nana Kawakami's alertness and fear, and tried to raise his hand to touch the hair on her forehead to show comfort-it even smiled very hard.

that's too regretful.

As far as the face of the puppet is concerned, if you laugh... it's better not to laugh.

Nana Kawakami persuaded herself to face it, muttering to herself in painstakingly: "Maybe it is a good thing..."

A puppet that no one can see seems to be able to do a lot of things besides being silent and scary.

Maybe... she doesn't have to worry about every next exam anymore.

Or maybe...she can play a bit nasty tease on those who secretly hug her and talk badly about her.

Ok?

Then...

Kawakami Nana crawled out of the quilt, touched a sour stomach, and was about to eat something.

——Look, she didn't go to the cram school today.

But Mom and Dad did not find out about it.

The cram school teacher received a "birthday gift" from her a few days ago, so he was more tolerant to her.

She walked in the huge duplex suite and stepped barefoot on the marble floor tiles. When she saw the food wrapped in plastic wrap on the dining table, she still couldn't give her appetite.

"What else can you do?"

Nana Kawakami asked the marionette while holding a salad bowl.

The marionette tilted its head and made a "cack-dack" sound-it seemed to be thinking for a while, and then disappeared in front of Nana Kawakami.

Facts have proved that even if Kawakami Nana can be sure that the puppet will not harm her, she still learns the tricks that she cannot communicate with the puppet.

She sighed a little discouragedly, thinking about whether to skip class tomorrow.

But soon, she shook her head again.

The high school deviation that her parents required her to go to was too high. Even with props such as "memory bread", she might not be able to digest the amount of knowledge she must have.

"I really want to be smarter..."

Kawakami Nana thought, and sighed leisurely.

The marionette appeared next to her again, the curvature of its mouth was larger than before, and even a smile made people shudder.

"Go to sleep~"

Puppet suddenly said in advance.

——Its voice was ethereal, which made Kawakami Nana suspect that it was an illusion.

"Huh?" Nana Kawakami turned her head in surprise.

She thought it could not speak.

Isn’t it common sense that puppets can’t speak?——Not to mention that it has not spoken up these days.

The doubt only stayed on Nana Kawakami's face for a moment, and she could hardly resist the sudden sleepiness and fell asleep on the table.

Villa area northeast of Too Town

Shan Chengxian hurriedly walked towards home with a lunch box from the convenience store.

He made an appointment with someone to play a game today.

——Yes, it was the "bear boy" before.
