() Chapter 25 Sister

After some fighting. I was in bed all over again. Silent Stream is lying quietly beside me. Look at the ceiling with me. After all, my bed was a big bed. It's still okay to lie down two or three people.

"Naw. Sister Shizuru. Have you ever thought about escaping from the Order?" I asked, looking at the ceiling and looking at Shizuru.

"Hmm, why do you think that?" Shizuru looked at me with some concern.

"I'm thinking. When I grow up. I want to escape from the organization with you, Shiho, and Akemi-san. If possible, I'd like to bring Rei, Taichi, and Mary. After all, you're the only ones in this organization that I know well. I chuckled stupidly. "If I could, I would like to take you out of the organization. Go to a small island where there is no organizational threat. Live a happy life without restraints there. How nice that would be. ”

"Hee-hee. Ice, you're drooling. Jing turned around and lay on the bed and looked at me.

"How can there be ......" I squinted at her and wiped my mouth with my hand to make sure no saliva was coming out before I put my hand down.

"Ice. Do you know. If you want to break away from the organization. The only means is to die. Only a dead organization will let you go. As she spoke, Shizuryu's gaze darkened. "This organization, surrounded by layers of fog, is found in all corners of the globe. And not only Japan. In the United States, China, Germany, England, and even Italy, where mafia is rampant, there are organized deposits. So it's almost impossible to find an environment like you said, and it's very difficult to even escape. ”

"That. Sister Jingliu, have you ever thought about escaping?"

"Why haven't you thought about it. "Jingliu turned over and lay down. "Before I met you. More than once I wanted to escape from the organization, I also wanted to walk freely in the sun, to frolic with my companions in the crowd. I also want to go to the beach to see the endless sea, and go to the playground to experience the madness. But there are so many cases around me that tell me that it's impossible. All those who tried to escape were killed by Gin. That's why I've always been so afraid of him, afraid that he would know that I wanted to escape. ”

"Why did you say before you met me?" I asked, tilting my head.

"Because after meeting you. I've found that life in the organization isn't all that scary. The corners of Jingliu's mouth rose slightly as he spoke.

"Three months ago. When you get hurt. You were the one who talked to me the most in that hospital. After you come back to organize the training. Got the code name on the first day again. Save me from hell. Although I also only stayed here for two days. But these two days are the happiest days I've ever had since I joined the organization. There is no threat of gin. No hard bosses. In addition to taking care of some trivial things for you. The rest of the time is my own. I can have my own favorite room. You can wear your favorite clothes. Days like this. Why should I run away?"

"Sister Shizuru. You're still so easy to satisfy. I giggled.

"Of course. But Bing, you have to promise me one thing. Jingliu's expression suddenly became stern. "That's if one day you're going to run away from the organization. Please leave me alone, if it's you alone or just with Shirley. I'm sure you'll be able to escape the Order's clutches with you, but if you take me with you, I'll only drag you down. He said. Shizuryu's eyes dimmed again.

I looked at her with a blank expression. Then he smiled softly. "Stupid. ”

"Huh?"

"A girl who yearns for the outside world. How could I possibly let her live in the abyss of the organization for the rest of her life? ”

"Bing ......" Shizuru looked at me blankly.

"Don't worry, Sister Shizuru. It's at least a decade before I grow up. I'm going to stay in the organization for the next 10 years. So you're going to be with me for the next 10 years. If I choose to escape. That will definitely bring yours too. This is my promise to you. I looked up at the ceiling again. Smiled confidently. "Definitely!"

The eyes of the "ice ......" could no longer restrain the crystal tears. At the moment when tears welled up in her eyes, Shizuru hugged me into her arms.

"Woo......" I struggled with. Hope escaped from her arms. Shizuru seemed to sense something strange about me and let go of the hands that were holding me.

"Drink...... ...... "I came out of Shizuryu's arms and breathed in a big gulp.

"Really. "I squinted at the half-moon and looked at the still stream. "I almost suffocated you. ”

"Hee-hee. Hahahaha...... "Looking at my embarrassment, Silent Stream burst into tears and laughed. "Huh. Anyway, ice. You will lie obediently in my arms tonight~" As she spoke, Shizuru hugged me into her arms again.

Night. I lay on my bed and looked at the ceiling. And Shizuru held me tightly in his arms. Judging by the look on her face. She is very happy at the moment.

"Naw. Sister Shizuru. Did you sleep?"

"Not yet. What?" replied Shizuru. She didn't open her eyes, though.

"You say...... Is it true that Ling likes me?"

"Hmm. I think so. If my most precious thing is hair. Then I'll only let people I like touch it. ”

"Then you just said that if it weren't for the age gap, you would like me, is that true?"

"Huh. Fool. How can you ask such a question to a girl? You're a boy, aren't you? If you like someone, just try to chase it. As for the girls who like you. Just don't make them feel bad. Shizuru tightened her arms.

"That's right. Then you said that if I recognize Ling as my sister. Will she be happy?"

"I don't know. I'm not her after all. ”

"What about you? If there is no age constraint. Are you really going to like me?"

"It's all said. Don't ask girls this kind of question. ”

After a long time. Shizuru blushed a little and said, "It's true." But I know the person you like is Shirley. So, please let me be by your side as your sister. ”

"I'm sorry. Sister Shizuru. "Maybe I said the wrong thing. It makes me feel very uncomfortable to hear Shizuru say this to me.

"It's fine. Go to sleep. I have classes tomorrow. Shortly after that, I heard the sound of still and even breathing in my ears. And I was looking at the ceiling. Sleepless nights.

――――The smell of orchids, the taste of lavender, the taste of home > the wings of angels, the wings of demons, the wings of guardians――――

Early the next morning. The alarm clock woke up Silent Stream at half-past seven sharp. And I looked a little haggard because I hadn't slept all night. Fortunately, today is the study of cultural classes. There won't be much of an impact.

"Good morning. Ice" Shizuru yawned as he spoke. Say hello to me.

"Ahh Early. Sister Shizuru. "I put on a new trench coat. He greeted Shizuryu. There are many black trench coats of the same style in my closet. It's all Jingliu prepared for me.

"Ahh Why are your eyes so red? And you have dark circles. Didn't you sleep well?" Shizuru rubbed his eyes and looked at me.

"It's not that I didn't sleep well. I didn't sleep. I thought about something last night. I replied lightly.

"Well, ...... your lesson today," Shizuru said with some concern.

"It's fine. It's just a culture class in elementary school. I smiled confidently at Shizuru. Then he got up and washed. And Shizuru is in charge of folding the quilt for me.

After a simple wash. I went to the cafeteria with Shizuru. After a light breakfast, I went to the igloo. Because I have to go through where I'm going to go to the culture class. And Shizuru went back to clean up the room.

Come to the coffee house. I saw Ling in the hallway at the other end, and they were talking to a man with glasses. Presumably, that man is our culture teacher.

"You're early. "I was the first to say hello.

"Ahh Brother Bing, you're early. "Taiyi and Mary greeted me one after the other. But Ling just gave me a cold look, then turned away from me.

"Rei...... Are you still angry?"

"......" (ignore)

"Ling?"

"......" (continue to ignore.) ）

"Hey...... Don't do that. I reached out and rubbed her hair.

"You ......" Ling's sweet voice carried a hint of strangeness.

"Huh?"

"Why don't you touch my head again?" Ling turned to look at me, and there was a hint of hesitation in her eyes. But in the end, it was spoken.

"Because ......" the shredded hair in front of me blocked my expression.

"What?" asked Rei, worried.

"Stupid. I squinted at her. "You have your back to me. How can I touch it? With that, I raised my hand and rubbed her purple bangs.

"You...... You're stupid. Ling's face flushed and she ducked my hand.

"Ahem...... I'm sorry...... Excuse me. An unfamiliar voice sounded around us. It was the man with glasses who had just spoken to Ling and them.

"You must be the big brother of icewine. The eyed man bowed to me slightly.

"Ahh It's me. ”

"Hello, I am your culture teacher, and I am responsible for teaching you the culture curriculum for six years of primary school. "The man wasn't wearing black. I guess it's a peripheral member.

"Ahh Please advise," I said with my hands behind my head and a relaxed expression.

"Huh. You're welcome. If you have any grievances about the course, please feel free to bring them up. Now please come with me. ”

With that, he led the four of us to the computer room underneath the concert hall. The computer lab was a little different from what I had imagined. It's not the rows of computers out there. Rather, every four computers in a room. The houses are not large, but there are at least a hundred of them in this underground corridor. There are people studying in many rooms. It's about the same size as me. They range from seventeen or eighteen years old. And right in the middle of the corridor. In a hut with an open door. I saw a small figure sitting there intently studying. It's Shiho. She was taught one-on-one by her teacher alone, and Akemi was not by her side. In other words, she passed the exams in primary school and successfully entered secondary school. But I saw a hint of sadness in her eyes. Presumably because Akemi was transferred.

"Hmph. A cold snort came from behind me. I looked back. Ling looked at me angrily. Smile at her. I kept going.

A short distance ahead is the elementary school culture classroom. The four of us were arranged in a small room. Two computers on one desk. There is a narrow aisle in the middle. Rei and I sat on one side, while Mary and Taichi sat on one side.

"Well, I'll be your teacher from today onwards. Introduce yourself. My name is Matsushita Wazu. You can call me Sensei, or Matsushita. Please introduce yourself. By the way, I will tell me about the age and the grade I have already attended. ”

"No. 21, Taichi Suzuhara. 11 years old. I used to go to the fourth grade of elementary school. Taiyi was the first to stand up and replied.

"Number 39, Marisa, 10 years old, in the United States I have graduated from the third grade of elementary school. ”

"Number 15, Rei. 7 years old. Didn't go to school. From self-study to the fourth grade of elementary school. Ling sat on the chair and said lightly.

“icewine。 7 years old. Didn't go to school. "After I finished speaking. The classroom was silent.

"That. Big Brother Icewine. Are you saying you didn't go to school?" Matsushita hesitated.

"Didn't I understand enough?" I replied, holding my chin and looking lazy.

"Ahh No. I didn't mean that. "It seems that this Panasonic is afraid of me.

"Fake. You don't look like you haven't been to school. Ling squinted at me with half-moon eyes.

"That...... I'm not quite convinced either. Mary said cowardly. "Brother Bing is so calm and calm. It also has great strength. How could you not have read a book? ”

"This ...... I'm just saying I didn't go to school. I didn't say I hadn't read a book. I squinted at them.

"That. What did Brother Bing read?"

"I don't know. "I was lying on the table because I hadn't slept all night. It's giving me a bit of a headache. "I haven't measured it by standards. So I don't know.

"That's right. Matsushita wiped the cold sweat from her forehead. "So. If Big Brother Icewine doesn't mind. Please join them in the Year 3 level test. If you pass guò too. So let's unify the teaching from the fourth grade. ”

"Ahh Teacher. I have a question. "I said lazily.

"Speak. ”

"If I want to skip a grade. What should I do?"

"As long as you complete the AB exam before you want to skip a grade. And ensure that the A roll is above 60 points. If you score more than 85 points on the B paper, you can jump to the next level. ”

"That's right. I know. ”

"So. Big brother icewine, do you want to skip a grade?"

"Yes. ”

"I don't know what level you want to jump to. I'm going to prepare the exam papers for you. ”

"Sixth grade. ”

"That's right. Panasonic wiped her sweat. "Then please wait. I'm going to get the fifth-grade exam papers. ”

"Teacher. You are mistaken. I looked up at him. I mean just give me the 6th grade exam papers. I plan to graduate from elementary school and go to the middle school.

"You...... What do you say......"
