Cursed Words and the Language of Flowers

[Updates whenever inspiration strikes! Sorry!]

My name is Zhongyuan Shiqi. My ability is called "Floral Words," but I can't speak normally, so life in Yokohama is pretty rough.

Walking past a river

The bandage freak in the river: Hi~

Shiqi: ...

The bandage freak: Good morning~

Shiqi: ...

I silently turn and leave.

After working my way up to executive in the Port Mafia, I have little to say and keep to myself. I think the only normal person in the whole Port Mafia is the hat rack.

After work, I was out enjoying some free time when a boy whose lower face was hidden ran into me. Before I could react, he unzipped his collar and shouted "Disappear" at something behind me. The ugly curse behind me vanished into thin air.

Shiqi: Rose? (What's wrong?)

Inumaki: Kelp? (Are you okay?)

We both fall silent (neither of us understands a word), then quietly take out our phones, open the notes app, and type. We add each other as friends, too. And that's how we became the mute buddies (?).

[Important] He's not actually mute!!! Things get better later.

A newbie writer here!!! QwQ It's basically all everyday life.

A quiet on the outside, carefree on the inside, slightly sly later on, mute Shiqi x a gentle boy on the outside, prankster on the inside, mute (sort of) Inumaki.
