January 21, 2018, rain and snow, Gimpo Mountain, Tokyo, summit shrine.

Yu stood in the attic, looking at the mountains of dead trees, and behind him was the majestic shrine, where the snow condensed on the eaves and rippled in the puddles that dripped on the ground.

The snow began to fall in the morning, not so much snow as rain and snow, the mountains were white, the dead trees were white, and the rocks were white. Yu raised his hand, slowly stretched out the eaves, and sighed softly: "It's raining, it's raining heavily." ”

I took out my phone, it was a very old phone, I hadn't used this phone for many years, there was nothing in it, and the phone could only make calls, and I couldn't even play the most basic game, Snake.

I found the phone that had been in the dust for a long time, dialed it, and the ringtone was a song I hadn't heard in many years, and it didn't take long for the phone to be dialed.

"Hello, have you had breakfast?" a voice came over the phone.

"Well, eat, what about you?"

"Now, I haven't eaten it, I'm not used to breakfast here. ”

The two of them chatted casually, like friends who had known each other for many years, asking each other if they had breakfast, what program they watched last night, and how was they at home?

"Are you here today?"

"Well, it's definitely coming, the coming-of-age ceremony has already begun! We said okay, I'll pick you up on the day of the coming-of-age ceremony. If you look at these people, the men are wearing black suits with no textures, the women are wearing black umbrellas and black and white kimonos, and even the monks who are reciting scriptures have changed into black robes...... Tsk, it's raining heavily, you said that if it was changed to a sad atmosphere, wouldn't it be a funeral?"

"Huh, my dear Yu. ”

"I said, I won't go with you unless you ruin Usami, but if that's the case, I'll choose to die with you. ”

"Are we all going to die?

"You know me, and I do what I say. Yu said.

"Oh, stupid, that's what I said because I knew you! Look at these people, they're preparing for their funerals, I know you've always disliked the atmosphere. Come with me now, it's still too late......"

"Don't try to disturb the venue, I'll stare you to death!"

"Tsk, poor man...... In that case, then you can also come to the front door, the time is almost up, I am coming to pick you up. As soon as the voice fell, the phone was interrupted.

You frowned and immediately walked towards the front door.

......

......

The courtyard is full of people, like black crows, and in the center of the courtyard is a huge stone statue, along which white spinning threads are connected to the eaves, and then woven from the eaves to the shrine lobby. There were such intricate spinning threads everywhere, and all the threads were concentrated on the red-haired girl's body.

The girl knelt in the center of the hall, wearing a pure white kimono, with a white veil around her face, and a basin of clear water in front of her, and on the opposite side of the clear water, there was a monk who was chanting sutras. Everyone held their breath, waiting for the sacred scene to begin.

Today is a coming-of-age ceremony, and it is the handover ceremony of the Usami family, and many people come to the shrine, not only the members of the family, but also many representatives sent by other families, which is nothing more than a gift to the newly appointed patriarch and leave a good image for others.

"It's raining heavily...... Su Mo murmured through the window.

"Shhhhhhh Behind Su Mo, one on the left and one on the right, kneeling sat Nanako and Mumi, both of whom were also wearing clean black kimonos.

Mu Mei said again: "Miss Su, we are in the lobby, we must not be rude......

"Okay, okay, I got it. Su Mo looked at the red-haired girl outside the white curtain and said.

"Hehe, it's actually okay, the monk chanting the scriptures is so loud that he won't hear us speak. Nanako on the side said with a smile.

"Nanako!" Mu Mei reached out and knocked her on the head, Nanako pursed her lips, muttering something in her mouth, and stopped talking.

Su Mo secretly moved her legs, as a friend of the girl, she became a special guest, and she could watch the coming-of-age ceremony at the closest distance, but she had been kneeling here for three hours, and in these three hours, nothing happened except for the monk's chanting, and Su Mo, who was not used to kneeling, had long lost consciousness on her legs, so she could only secretly find time to move.

Looking at the red-haired girl, she suddenly remembered their conversation that day.

"Come back to Huaxia with me, maybe I can save you!"

The girl shook her head and gave her an ugly smile back, "Like, it's not going to work......" said as the girl took Su Mo's hand and put it on top of her long hair.

Su Mo opened her mouth slightly, gently grabbed the red hair, lifted, lifted, lifted again, until the strand of red hair completely broke away from the girl's scalp, gradually, Su Mo's hands began to tremble, she wanted to say something, but when the words came to her mouth, they turned into crying.

"It seems that the hair started to fall out the day before yesterday, which is a pity. The girl said.

"There will be a way, there will be a way......"

"Don't cry Su Mo, I remember Zejun said, you still look good when you smile. ”

Su Mo was taken aback and said, "That's right! What about Mu Zeming? What about others? He must have a way to save you, right! Find him, what about others? I will call him, and he will save you!"

The girl shook her head and said, "It's too late, Zejun has already returned to Huaxia." ”

"......"

"I forced him to leave, and I didn't want him to see me like this...... Su Mo, I like Zejun. ”

"I knew, I always knew, I knew it five years ago......"

"Well, hehe, it turns out that I like it, I actually found out recently, it's a pity...... He's gone, we'll never see each other again, hehe, even if I want to see him, there's no chance......"

"No, there will be, there will be! Don't you like him? Tell me what you do? Go tell him yourself! By the way, he still has to apologize to you, you can't die, he still owes you an explanation!"

"He never owed me anything, because I always believed in him, and even if he didn't leave five years ago, and I wasn't brought back to Japan, what would that change? Su Mo, stay in Tokyo for a few more days, the day after tomorrow is the coming-of-age ceremony, I hope you can accompany me that day. ”

"Okay, I'll accompany you, rest assured, everything will pass. ”

......

......

The bell at the beginning was struck heavily, and the monk who was reciting the scriptures suddenly spoke, saying something different, and the rain gradually became heavier, dripping on the water, causing ripples, and the people in the courtyard held black umbrellas and looked at the lobby.

Usami Kuo walked out slowly, his back to the lobby and looking around the courtyard.

At this moment, the closed gate was suddenly pushed open, obviously it was a courtyard, but the moment the gate was pushed open, the cold wind seemed to be poured in, pouring in.

Everyone turned to look, even the interrupted monk looked over, this is a coming-of-age ceremony! Who dares to do such an unreasonable act! Just when everyone was surprised, the boy walked in.

The delicately tailored high-end leather shoes stepped on the water without hesitation, and the boy also stood in the courtyard with a black umbrella, and the rain fell from all directions of the black umbrella.

He wears a black suit and a black tie, and even the gilded cuffs have been replaced with black ordinary buttons. He looked at everyone with a smile, as if to say hello to everyone.

"Are you late? I'm sorry for the delay in changing clothes. Obviously no one asked, but the boy said to himself.

Before she reached the center of the courtyard, Yu appeared out of thin air and blocked her way, but just as she was waiting for her to make a move, she was stopped in time by Higeo in front of the lobby.

"Don't be rude to your guests!"

"Patriarch, please forgive me for being rude, he is not a guest, he is a lonely person!"

"Stand down!" Hisao shouted.

"Patriarch, he's ......"

"Yo, do you need me to say it again? Stand down!"

Yuu glared at the boy angrily and didn't look back, but this time, he glanced at Hisao behind him in surprise, only to see Hisao standing there angrily.

Yo shook it, and although he didn't reply, he didn't intend to get out of the way. She knew very well who the boy in front of her was, and since the other party could walk in with a swagger, it meant that the other party was fully prepared.

The boy looked at Yu with a cold face, and smiled proudly, like a schoolboy proudly showing off his work because of his victory, he walked up to Yu Yu, and took out another umbrella out of nowhere, and the black umbrella opened in an instant, breaking away from the surrounding rain.

Yuu is half a head taller than the boy, and the boy puts an umbrella over Yuu's head, and the scene is a bit strange, like a younger brother braving the rain and coming to school to pick up his beloved sister.

"Take the umbrella and don't catch a cold. He whispered.

After speaking, he walked over from You's side, and the people in the courtyard whispered about each other's identities, and for a while, the scene was a little chaotic.

"Mr. Hisao, it's a pleasure to meet you. Your daughter is beautiful. As he spoke, the boy glanced at the girl sitting in the hall.

"What do I want?"

The boy smiled and pulled out a reagent from his suit, which contained a tube of white liquid.

"Give it to me!" Hisao subconsciously took a few steps forward, and he couldn't wait to get the thing in the boy's hand.

"Hehe, don't worry!Master Hisao, have you forgotten what I wanted?" the boy retracted the reagent and smiled.

Hisao stopped in place, his expression complicated, he suddenly took a step to the side, and announced loudly to the hundreds of people in the courtyard.

"Everyone, I am here to announce that the surname of Usami Yuu will be removed! From today onwards, she will no longer be a member of the Usami family!

In this way, a sentence without a head and tail kept echoing in the courtyard, and everyone looked at Hisao in surprise, only the boy, smiling and looking at Yuu in the distance, Yuu also looked at him, and gradually, the two were swallowed up by the noisy chatter.
