A lot of hair was scattered on the ground, and it had not been cleaned yet. Soyao just thrust his feet twice before Akane Kirino returned to the facial washroom.

She held a mirror in her hand.

"Look at the back."

At this time, Zong Gu had short hair, looking at the back of his head that was reflected in the mirror, giving the exact same evaluation as before.

“It’s really good.”

Akane Kirino smiled immediately.

"Thank you~"

Her haircutting skills were not very good, at least she didn't make his hair look unsightly, and this was enough for Sonoya.

"I'll clean up here."

"May I?"

"certainly."

"That's great, then please come to Songujun."

After being managed, Zong Gu looked like an overly vain high school student, and she also changed her name unconsciously.

Cleaning up the broken hair on the floor of the washing room. When Soya returned to the living room, Kirino Akane on the sofa shook him with her cell phone.

“I found the phone number of that child welfare home online.”

He was stunned, "Is that true?"

"Does Jun Zonggu contact them now?"

Before he could answer, she handed over her phone.

Soya took the phone simply, but did not dial it out immediately.

Even though he was timid, he was also wondering how he should explain the sudden disappearance that lasted for more than two years. After all, not everyone can accept that bizarre statement.

“Anyway…”

Akane Kirino could roughly understand his hesitation, "Let's report safety to the person you care about the most."

“That’s right.”

He took a deep breath and then called.

"Hello, this is Sendai Aoye Children's Welfare Home."

Familiar names, strange voices.

Zong Gu thought about it in his mind and was sure that he had never heard the other party's voice. He probably was a newly recruited staff member of the Welfare Institute, so he did not directly report his name.

"Hello. I'll look for Miss Oritsu."

"Zodiac Orange? We don't have...hey, what...really?...I understand."

There seemed to be more than one person on the other end of the phone, and they were communicating in a low voice at this time.

Zong Gu waited patiently, and after a while, he waited for a reply.

"Sorry, I've been waiting for you for a long time. Miss Orange used to be a staff member here, but she had already resigned two years ago."

"Resign?"

Soya was stunned and pretended to look at Akane Kirino outside the window and looked over directly.

"Why?"

"It seems that because a child whom Miss Orange was responsible for suddenly disappeared, she felt very guilty and disappeared after leaving a resignation letter."

“…”

Zong Gu suddenly fell silent.

"Sir? Are you still here, sir?"

"……Feel sorry."

He took a breath, "Miss Orange has left his address or contact information?"

The person who answered the phone told the question to his companions around him, and after receiving the answer, he told Zong Gu.

"No."

"I get it, thank you."

"If you need it, you can leave your name and contact information. When we can contact Miss Orange, we will forward it to her."

Considering that this was Akane Kirino's number, Soya declined the other party's kindness and omitted the need to report to another staff member who knew the past and explain.

After hanging up the phone, he realized that the mobile phone wallpaper was a selfie of the owner.

The girl in a winter uniform has a sweet smile and is very cute. The background is the villa in the snow, but he doesn't have the urge to appreciate it at all.

Akane Kirino took the phone and said, "Can't you contact me?"

"Well...that teacher resigned from the Children's Welfare Home."

"Why?"

Zong Gu didn't know much, so he explained it to her more simply, and then he fell silent after saying that.

The two looked at each other in surprise.

After a while, Akane Kirino thought of a more practical question for the moment:

"Will Mr. Sonya still go back to the welfare home in the palace?"

Zong Gu pulled away from his memories and thought for a while before saying, "I am seventeen years old now and can no longer go back to the welfare home."

The law stipulates that he can work at the age of sixteen, which means that he has met the premise of independent living;

He has been out of school for more than two years and cannot get into high school when he returns, so he has to leave the welfare home.

"What should I do?"

"yes……"

Zong Gu murmured, also asking questions about the life that was accidentally messed up.

"what to do."

Akane Kirino is only sixteen years old this year, just a junior high school student. She is still confused and is far from able to make suggestions for other people's lives;

But one of the most distinctive characteristics of children of this age is that they rarely realize this on their own.

"Since that's the case, why don't Jun Zonggu stay here?"

......

【…If you have no other plans.”】

The cold wind blew, and Zong Gu stood on the street, holding his arms with both hands, looking at the road that was still a little wet after the rain stopped.

"Do you go to work in an izakaya..."

I spent the first night of escaping from the old house of Kirino's family. Most of the new day had passed. He found that he had no other choice - now he had nothing, and even borrowed his clothes from others.

To survive, accepting her kindness is the best choice.

After waiting for a while, the school behind him suddenly became noisy. Soon, students in uniform appeared at the school gate one after another.

Zong Gu is tall and thin, and is very conspicuous among the crowd, not to mention that there were not many people at the school gate at this time.

When one look at him, he would basically stay on his face for a moment before moving away.

He was here to wait for someone, and even if he was not used to the increasing sight, he could only bear it silently.

Fortunately, the person who made him wait here soon appeared.

"Hey...Songgu!"

He looked in the sound and Akane Kirino, who had just walked out of the school gate, squeezed among a group of girls, with an unexpected and surprised face.

"Why are you here?"

“…”

Zong Gu was stunned and looked at the girls staring at her next to her, and soon understood.

Girl...

"I want to see you."

"Wow."

The surrounding eyes suddenly focused on Akane Kirino, and two girls even covered their mouths.

“Really.”

She complained, but the smile on her face could no longer be suppressed.

"Sorry, Hongzi..." She turned her head and looked at a girl next to her who looked no less than her. "I still have something to do, so I have to go back first."
