I also want to stick with Kinomoto even if I am sick

Then, Kyoko changed the subject: "But it's okay, this time, Tomoyo, you helped untie Sakura. Thank you very much."

When Zhishi heard Kyoko say this, he quickly said: "No, no, I just did this with little effort. In comparison, Kyoko, you have done countless things for Sakura since you were a child."

Kyoko heard Tomoyo say this, and smiled lightly: "I believe that if it was you, Tomoyo, you would do similar things."

Kyoko's light words made Tomoyo speechless for a moment, and then he spoke slowly.

"Indeed.. If it were me, I wouldn't just watch Sakura being wronged like this..."

"Yeah... I was wronged. Sakura thinks she is my burden, but I think, without me, Sakura should be happier."

Kyoko sighed a little.

"It's better to say that I took away from her the happiness that belonged to her."

Then, Kyoko whispered again.

Zhishi vaguely heard Kyoko's words through the microphone, and asked nervously, "Kyoko??"

"Uh, it's nothing... Oh right, Tomoyo, please help me pay more attention to Sakura in the future. Even though I am Sakura's older sister, there are still many things that I can't touch."

When Zhishi heard Kyoko's words, he couldn't understand: "Why?"

Kyoko smiled helplessly: "Even if I do a lot, I can't do everything well. Some things can't be done because I'm Sakura's real sister."

"Eh?"

Seeing Zhishi seemed a little puzzled, Kyoko continued: "I am Sakura's twin sister. We grew up together since childhood. In the eyes of outsiders, we have the closest sister relationship, but in fact... The relationship between Sakura may not be as good as the relationship between you and Sakura, Tomoyo."

Chapter 23 Kyoko and Tomoyo (2)

Tomoyo was startled when he heard Kyoko's words, and said a little excitedly: "How is that possible?! Kyoko, do you think Sakura's feelings for you are fake?!"

For Kyoko's words, Tomoyo finally couldn't help but refute.

Kyoko heard Tomoyo's voice from the microphone suddenly increased, and realized that Tomoyo had misunderstood her meaning. She couldn't help but feel amused, and comforted: "Chishi, calm down, I didn't mean that."

When Zhishi heard Kyoko's words, he also realized his emotional agitation, so he forcibly suppressed the restless emotions in his heart, and waited for Kyoko's explanation.

And Kyoko leaned on the sofa behind her, comforting Tomoyo in this way, while wrapping her long hair around her ear with her index finger. After wrapping it a few times, she put it in front of her eyes, raised her head, and stared at her hair in a daze. long hair.

At this moment, Kyoko couldn't help recalling, thinking of Sakura's delicate and gentle movements and focused expression when she tidied her hair every time after taking a bath.

Then, she recalled the bits and pieces of the time she spent with Sakura in the past, and couldn't help but say, "These...how could they be false~"

"..."

Tomoyo was completely confused and couldn't understand what Kyoko was talking about.

Fortunately, Kyoko quickly recovered from the short memories, collected her thoughts, and then said: "I mean, the relationship between Sakura and me may not be as close as you, Tomoyo, seem to be. "

Tomoyo over the microphone heard Kyoko's words and couldn't help but fell silent, and after a while he said, "Why...why is this so, obviously..."

Hearing Tomoyo's unbelievable tone, Kyoko slumped on the sofa, looking up at the ceiling, her sentimentality was beyond words, but she said it flatly.

"Nothing is impossible. Judging from what you said, Tomoyo, if I really have such a close relationship with Sakura Tadami, why wouldn't she tell me?"

After a pause, Kyoko continued: "Of course, I'm not saying that Sakura and I are not close at all, just that...it's not as good as you outsiders seem to be..."

"Apricots..."

Hearing Kyoko's tone, Tomoyo couldn't help but feel a little worried about Kyoko.

"Sometimes, the closer the person looks, the less good the relationship is."

"It's not that the feelings between them are all false, on the contrary, it is precisely because they really care about each other, so they always have some scruples of one kind or another when getting along, and they don't want the other party to see their bad side, but they have feelings for each other. concealed."

"And in this way, an invisible barrier has been formed."

Speaking of this, Kyoko sighed again: "Besides, what qualifications do I have to talk about Sakura, I have hidden a lot of things from her myself, do I still want to expect her to have no reservations about me?"

Tomoyo listened to Kyoko's explanation and self-condemnation, several times wanted to speak comfort, but didn't know what to say.

At this time, Kyoko thought of Tomoyo on the other end of the microphone, and a smile appeared on her face again: "The natural close relationship does help to increase the distance at first, but after a certain level, it becomes an obstacle instead."

"But like you, Tomoyo, after the beginning, the later development will be smooth."

After saying this, Kyoko noticed that Tomoyo's silence was a bit strange, and realized that what she said was a bit too much.

Kyoko pretended to be relaxed and said: "It's okay, Zhishi, you don't have to take what I said to heart. It may just be that I think too much, so you can just think I worry too much."

"Um......"

Tomoyo's answer came from the microphone.

"Then, let's stop here today, and we'll see you at school tomorrow."

"Well, see you tomorrow."

At this point, Kyoko hung up the phone in her hand.

On the other end of the phone, Zhishi looked at the phone that had been hung up in his hand, a little dazed.

"I won't let you separate like this..."

Tomoyo stood in front of the landline and whispered.

The perspective returns to the villa where Kyoko is.

After Kyoko hung up the phone, she still looked up at the ceiling above her head, without speaking for a long time.

Suddenly, Xingzi said, "I'm sorry for keeping you waiting here for so long."

Kyoko said this, and the person she was talking to was Kaori Fuminari who appeared beside Kyoko at some point.

Fucheng Kaori stood beside Kyoko, looked at Kyoko's sad expression, and asked, "Is it something related to Sakura again?"

When Kyoko heard Fucheng Kaori's question, she didn't answer her directly, but instead asked, "Do you think I'm really a good sister?"

Fucheng Kaori listened to Kyoko's words and remained silent.

Seeing that Kaori Fucheng didn't answer, Kyoko also showed a wry smile on her face: "It seems that I really need to continue to work hard."

Saying that, Kyoko, who was slumped on the sofa, struggled to sit up from the sofa.

While listening to Kyoko's words, Fucheng Kaori, who was a little dazed, quickly reached out and pulled Kyoko to sit up.

Kyoko's complexion returned to normal after it was finished, and she said to Fucheng Kaori seriously: "Then, have the test results come out?"

Fucheng Kaori didn't speak, and silently handed the inspection report in her hand to Kyoko.

Kyoko reported the results and looked at it directly.

After just a few glances, Xingzi smiled: "As expected, it's not what I expected."

Hearing Kyoko's words, Fucheng Kaori, who was originally very silent, suddenly said, "Did you use magic again?"

Kyoko didn't answer Kaori's words, but said to herself: "For the next medicine, I will trouble you, Kaori, to prepare it according to the amount I gave you today, and you can deduct the corresponding cost from your account."

"You can't stop using it!!"

Kaori suddenly yelled at Kyoko.

"The previous medicine, even if you used it occasionally, has gradually improved over the years. Now the dose is suddenly increased. What are you planning to do?!"

Kaori's doubts continued.

Facing Kaori's sudden attack, Kyoko was full of apology: "I'm sorry, there are some things that I can't control."

"What do you mean you can't control it?! You just don't want to see her get hurt a little bit?"

A cold feeling suddenly crossed Kyoko's face, Kyoko noticed it and looked at Kaori in surprise.

There were two tear streaks across Xiangori's face, and she choked up, "Can't you think about yourself?"

Kyoko wrapped her hands around Kaori's waist, and said softly in her arms, "I'm sorry, I owe them too much, I can't think about myself anymore."

Kaori also knelt down and hugged Kyoko's head, weeping uncontrollably.

Chapter 24 Apricot's Gift

Kyoko and Kaori hugged each other for a long time, and the scene fell into silence for a while.

In the end, Kyoko's voice broke the rare calm: "Hey, Kaori, please take me to the storage room."

"Eh?"

Kaori was surprised to hear Kyoko's words.

"But, isn't there something you hid there three years ago? Didn't you say, don't go to that room lightly?"

Kaori raised her own question.

Kyoko let go of Kaori's arm, walked away from Kaori's embrace, and looked up into Kaori's eyes: "I'm going to get that thing this time."

Kaori looked at Kyoko in astonishment.

......

Storage Room

The entire storage room is actually a huge basement, occupying almost half of the entire villa.

And the things in the storage room are very similar to the situation in the villa above, very rare.

In the corner, there is a relatively large, workbench-like table with some oddly shaped containers on it.

In addition, occupying the largest space in the entire storage room is a huge magic circle.

The entire magic circle is composed of many irregular lines and patterns, but it doesn't look awkward at all. On the contrary, it has a natural feeling as it should be. People can't help but sigh that the person who drew this magic circle must be a genius.

Kyoko and Kaori stood on the edge of the magic circle, watching the magic circle under their feet flashing with strange light, between flickering, as if life was breathing, extremely mysterious.

Kaori couldn't help asking: "Kyoko, are you going to take it out now? Don't you think about taking it out for at least ten years?"

Kyoko nodded, and said slowly: "Originally, I planned to find a suitable time to take it out in the future, and then give it to Sakura... But, the situation has changed now, and I can only take it out now."

"Wouldn't that make a difference?"

Kyoko heard Kaori's worry, stretched out her hand and aimed at the magic circle under her feet, and explained: "It doesn't matter, it took shape a year after it was buried, and the rest of the time just continued to absorb the etheric energy in the leylines, now Take it out, it's just not full."

After finishing speaking, a small magic circle appeared in Kyoko's hand, and for a moment, two magic circles, one large and one small, flickered at the same time, as if resonating.

Correspondingly, Kyoko couldn't help but start to sweat on her forehead, but she didn't stop her movements because of this, and continued to adjust the huge magic circle under her feet.

Kaori stared nervously at Kyoko, holding a towel in her hand and constantly wiping the sweat off Kyoko's face.

Kyoko focused on sensing the flow of magic power in the magic circle, mobilizing her magic power to control the operation of the magic circle.

After an unknown amount of time, as the giant magic circle suddenly emitted a burst of strong light, a ball of light emerged from the very center of the magic circle.

After the light ball appeared, it flew straight towards Kyoko's direction.

Xingzi naturally stretched out her hand and put the ball of light into her palm.

As the light dissipated, the object in the light sphere finally revealed its true content, which was obviously a bracelet.

The whole body of this bracelet is as white as jade, and it looks like a piece of nature. It exudes dreamlike colorful brilliance.

Xiangori on the side also saw the appearance of this bracelet, and said in surprise: "I didn't expect it to become like this after only three years. When it was buried before, it was still a black stone."

Xingzi looked at the bracelet in his hand carefully, and explained: "There is a piece of excellent quality colorful jadeite in that stone, which is a very good magic material. After I refined it with the help of this earth vein node, it became It’s not surprising that it’s like this.”

Kaori looked at the dreamy bracelet on Kyoko's hand, and couldn't help asking, "So, are you going to give this to Sakura?"

Kyoko smiled knowingly: "This one was originally prepared for her. However, it's not enough just like this. I still have to polish it."

"Grinding?"

Seeing that Kaori still had doubts, Kyoko also patiently explained: "We have just obtained an embryo of high quality. If we want it to play its due value, we have to make it into a finished product."

As she said that, Kyoko held the bracelet with one hand, and the bracelet began to emit brilliant light again, slowly floating up.

Then, Kyoko embraced the bracelet floating in the air with both hands, stood in place, closed her eyes, and immersed herself in it.
