Hiroka, too, must have already taken a bath. It's not like when we met during the day, I'm dressed in black jersey.

After the party, Madoka cared that there were no Hirokas.

Hiroka probably had Hiroka take turns, feeding, bathing, etc. because she was also a cat nurse during the party.

For once, I asked Miyuki to prepare a meal for Hiroka and the others.

Though relieved that Madoka and the others were working together amicably, the moment she saw Hiroka, Syndicate had her hands on her forehead.

But Hiroka is bowing her head without worrying about how Syndicate looks like that.

"I apologize for being late this evening. The cat's consciousness is back, so I'm here to report it."

"... yes. That's good. Is Cat asleep?

"... Yes. As soon as the cat regained consciousness, Madoka put me to sleep..."

Hiroka eats a little to Syndicate, who reported having returned consciousness but thought the cat was asleep.

"Uh..."

"Cat, you went wild, didn't you? No, did you even try to commit suicide?

To Syndicate's words, Hiroka put her whole body into holding something back.

"... Yes. As soon as I woke up...... brother......, cat's, I spoke ill to my brother and when I saw her, Sai, I suddenly saw her body......"

The image then emerges clearly in the brain, and Syndicate closes her eyes.

"... well"

That's all I have to say.

I have no words to call.

Indirectly, though, the brother himself had suffered a hideous assault because of his own brother, who had also caused harm to another woman.

Besides, my brother believes it's a good deed.

How painful is the mood that my sister feels about such a brother's conduct?

I have feelings for cats, but more than that, now, Syndicate needs to be aware of something else.

Still, in front of Syndicate, a girl, Hiroka, stands.

"... ok. Did you tell Cat I was alive?

"... Huh! Yes. Sai, when I realized you had a sister, and she explained everything to me, I started rambling..."

"Well, I better not see Cat until he settles down. If you meet Mr. Changchun and he kills me in person, you'll mess it up."

"Right, right"

"Okay. Well, thank you. You came all the way here to tell me. Sleep tight, Hiroka, because it's too late. Good night."

I said good night so I could flow.

Hiroka speaks out like she did.

"Um, the..."

Finally, after a few moments of worrying.

Hiroka put her hand on the jersey zip.

"Wop!?

That moment.

On Hiroka's face, a large cloth can be thrown.

I used it when Syndicate went to bed, it's a futon.

The one who threw it, of course, was Syndicate.

"Hey, what are you doing!?

Face out of the futon, Hiroka protests Syndicate.

"... do what, what were you going to do?

To Syndicate's inquiry, Hiroka shuts her mouth.

"... if you don't want me to say it, shall I? You're not wearing anything under your jersey, are you?

To Syndicate's point, Hiroka opens her eyes.

"Drawing stars, huh? So, what did you try to do with the color trick on me to make sure?

"Well... how do you know that I..."

"I noticed when I looked at the clothes... if you insist, are you ready?

To Hiroka's question, Syndicate answers pale.

"Ready?"

"Oh, it's like a surprise box, because you've come into the room, secretly prepared to explode soon enough. The more special attacks, the more ready I am to be caged. I don't know why Hiroka points that emotion at me... you know, right away when you think about why you point that at a guy, right?

Hiroka, be silent.

"So the real problem is that Hiroka tried to make me sexually exposed to men, which I hate so much. That's what Hiroka wants me to tell you, if possible. … for the future"

Looking sad, looking at Syndicate's face, Hiroka puts her hand on her own as she gave up.

"... ok. I'm sorry. This is like trying. That's right. Think about it...... no, you don't have to think about it, your brother was like that. I mean... I'm a man."

Hiroka grips the futon that Syndicate used all the time.

"Why, if they say so, the big reason is because I owe my brother"

Debt?

Hiroka laughs a little strangely as Syndicate snaps her neck.

"It's about the resuscitation pills that brought the cat back to life. No, that's what brought me back to life."

"That's not what I'm asking for, is it?

Syndicate says slightly grumpy.

"I guess so. That's right. Your brother... yes, he is. But... men are different."

Hiroka buries her face in the futon.

"... a lot, a lot, they did something hideous. Really, a lot. I don't want to die, not because we've been done what we wish to die for. I can't believe the cat... I should have loved it, from your brother..."

The roots are deep.

Naturally speaking, for Hiroka and cats, what has happened since the world changed is not a problem to be solved overnight.

Perhaps it's a matter of spending the rest of your life healing, deluding and living.

"... well"

Nothing more to say, Syndicate falls into bed.

"... brother?

"... I won't do anything."

Free up for a few seconds or so, Syndicate says.

"I don't do anything. You do nothing to hurt Hiroka or the cat."

"... ha"

"Yeah. Well... good night"

"... Huh?

Keep it up, Syndicate closes her eyes.

"Um..."

Syndicate leaks only a quiet exhale, unanswered.

"Oh, really, do you sleep? The..."

To the immobile syndicate, Hiroka approaches the syndicate, not knowing what to do, with the futon wrapped around it for now.

"Brother......"

Syndicate opened her thin eyes to Hiroka, who was making a troubled voice.

"Uh... it's just cold. Can I have my futon back?

"Ah... yes"

Hiroka takes off the futon that was slowly wrapped around her body.

"... it's okay. Because it doesn't move."

As it were, trying to futon Syndicate, to Hiroka, who was confused, Syndicate says.

"I won't do anything."

Inquisitive of Syndicate's words, as he chewed them, Hiroka quivered his body and gently, futon Syndicate.

It took a few minutes. After the work, Hiroka exhales like relieved.

"... thanks, good night"

Fusing a sleeping syndicate, a man, should be more of a task for Hiroka than she could have imagined, with herself, with fear, with which she fought.

"Yes...... good night"

Speaking of labor after such work, Hiroka answered naturally with a smile.

I can be summoned to a man's room and leave the room without anything.

It was normal a few months ago, and since the world changed, Hiroka has overcome events she could not even imagine.

Most of all.

The moment I left Syndicate's room.

I crawled into Syndicate at night...... I came across Sai, who came to see Syndicate's sleeping face, and Hiroka tastes a different kind of fear, but that's a different story.
