Chapter 25: Perfection with Flaws Perhaps Begins with His and Her Quest (14)

After the camera at the door confirmed the direction of Yezuki's departure, we also stood at the door together. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

[Is this here...]

I looked up and confirmed, it was on the right side of the line. Damn it... Why is it at such a time? As far as the eye can see, the footprints and traces are completely covered by heavy snow, and there is nothing left in the white expanse, and there is only one thing that knows

[Let's ask why, okay?]

There was a burst of white mist in the air next to it, and then there was a cheek gently tugging at the neckline under the snow, probably because he had just come out and hadn't adapted to this cold temperature, so his face was not very ideal, and if he had to say it, he should still be blue.

[... What to ask?]

When this ****, Hayama and Yubihama also stood together with Xuexia, and it seemed that they were different from me, and the three of them temporarily formed another group, and the three of them looked at me seriously, and finally Yukiya spoke up again and asked

[Night Moon Senpai... It's not a child, it's not the kind of patient who has to be taken care of, but I want to say, isn't it too much to worry about even if it's confirmed? Now that she's going out alone, there's no need to worry too much, right? Do you want to be a full-time babysitter? Hachiman-kun?]

He looked at me quietly under the snow, and said softly as if he were recounting a very ordinary thing, but his tone was full of questions... Hawkers,That's right.,After all, if it's according to ordinary things.,It's definitely normal to go out like this.,It's all adults.,And there's no special relationship.,There's no need to tell anyone when you go out or something, right?

Yubihama looked at me blankly, his gaze wandering between me and the snow from time to time, but Hayama still looked at me as if he was sure of something, with a smile that didn't change in the slightest.

[Hah...]

All right.. There's no need to hide anything anymore, right? I don't have much confidence if I'm looking for it alone.

[That guy... I've been suffering from "crowdphobia" since I was a child, so..]

[What is crowdphobia?]

[Unlike where we simply hate a lot of people, that guy...]

With that, my hands clenched into fists, remembering the first time I went to the mall with her—the sound I shouldn't have made.

I don't know how much fear it takes to make someone sound like that, indescribable, and I don't want to think about it again.

So at some point, my words began to become painful, and my voice became abnormal

[A crowded place...] When we see it, we are only disgusted at most, and if we have to get along with it, we can probably bear it, just like making a tram. Fear, worry, fear, despair, anxiety, etc., are just the most basic reactions...]

[Enough.] ]

Yukiki stopped me from trying to explain things in more detail, and I started talking to Yubihama without even asking what I was going to do next

[After going from here until the first fork in the road, I walked with Yubihama to the school side, and Hachiman-kun went to the park.. If you want to go to Hayama, please go to the shopping street area.]

[.... Thank you.Yukino..]

[Say thank you until you find someone...] However, I think it is necessary to involve the police if the time limit is exceeded. ]

[Ahh ]

...

In the face of my request, the three of them first fell silent for a while, and then looked at me in a daze for a few seconds.

[It doesn't have to be so formal, small business... Don't worry about it at all. ]

Yubihama said with some embarrassment as he shook his head.

[Hawkers, I can find it soon when I make an effort, don't worry.] ]

Saying such comforting words that I don't understand is Hayama, who is scratching his head in embarrassment.

[Ha.... Stupid...]

Under the snow, he gently put his hand on his forehead and shook it with a look of regret, and finally there was a soft sigh

[Let's go.] Considering the influence of the weather, if you find it, please contact us by phone, even if you can't find it... Let's plan again at the fork in the road in an hour..]

---------------------------------------------------------

[Mom, isn't that big sister cold?]

[Maybe... I'm waiting...]

The voices of immaturity and maturity are intertwined... Call... Accompanied by snowflakes drifted over.

It's a mother and son, right? I looked at the traces of their departure, and thought... Maybe you just bought a gift from the mall, a gift hidden in a handbag and ready to be secretly put in your child's pocket at night.

[etc...]

How long have I been here... I don't know, but I don't feel cold.

Is that waiting? Maybe, but why are you hesitating between expecting and not expecting?

Maybe I should have stayed here at this time, this is where I belong... So, probably... I'm not waiting, I'm just a ghost who doesn't want to go back to that strange and familiar place at this time.

So, I slowly closed my eyes again.

Suddenly, there was a "creaking" sound in front of me, which was the sound of snow being squeezed.

With such a sound, my heart seemed to be lifted, and I raised my head and opened my eyes to look at the front of me... This guy who appeared out of nowhere.

No... It's not him.

[Hello.Hazuki senior,I didn't expect to meet you here.]

With a strange tone, wearing a black trench coat and a brown sweater... Trousers: Leather gloves give people a very oppressive feeling, which is completely out of tune with this white world.

[....]

Is it someone I know... No, I think it's someone who knows me, but what's the use? I don't think about these things, but I am shaken by this mistake.

After laughing at his own infirmity, he slowly sank his gaze again.

There was silence for a short moment, and that strange tone sounded again

[Today... Didn't talk to that guy... Is it better than Qigu together?]

[... Why.. Will mention him...]

Unconsciously spooped ****... Is it just a response to that name?

[Actually, it's nothing, but it suddenly feels a little strange.] ]

He smiled, didn't sit down, and stood in front of me deliberately lowering his posture, becoming a little hunched and funny

[So, can you tell me what you're doing here?]

[....]

He didn't continue, just shook his head slightly.

[That... Can I tell you what I'm doing here?]

[...]

Strange way of speaking: No, it's already strange from this guy ... However, compared to him, it's normal.

Something that shouldn't have appeared slowly appeared in my mind.

Then, there was another movement in front of me, and when I opened my eyes when I felt something in front of me, I was greeted by a pair of sapphire earrings that shone beautifully even in this pure white world.

Because it was very sudden, I raised my head in a daze, and the snow covering my head slowly fell from both sides, and the person in front of me...

He bent down deeply, performed a gentleman's manner, held the box containing the earrings in one hand and placed it in front of my eyes, bowed his head, and spoke aloud in a voice firm and without the slightest hesitation

[I, Mike Cindy, love and love this woman, and I long to be a lover with her on this blessed and sacred moment, and to give everything I have in the presence of the priest!]

[.... Are you serious?]

I was silent for a while, because I felt tired of all this in front of me from my heart, and finally asked.

[Every word I say to you, every word is serious.] ]

The tone was still very earnest, and it did not waver.

[... Thank you, but I can't accept it and won't accept it.]

[I knew that...]

After slowly straightening up, the guy in front of him suddenly put away the attitude just now and turned into that cynical look, one hand withdrew the earrings just now, and the other hand scratched his head in embarrassment, looking helpless... I didn't see anything sad or unconvinced, but I was ready to say no from the beginning

[Sure enough, you still have to hear the rejection to be relieved.But Yeyue senior, what I just said, swearing in the name of God is absolutely true.] ]

[... It's no longer necessary.]

It doesn't matter what the process is... It's the results that matter.

[I think it's necessary to say it out loud for the best...] Even if it's rejected, it's better than holding it in your heart, right?]

He shrugged his shoulders, shifted his weight on one foot to the other, and just stood there with a slight flow of air, his head in his hands and his head in his hands looking at the gray sky

[I've liked you since the first day I came.,But at the time, I didn't think much about it because of a lot of concerns.,Instead, I thought about using other things to divert my attention.,But it's all in vain.,So,I'm starting to think again... Why don't you try to get your attention? You've always been with him, and it seems like you've been with him since the beginning, so I don't think I have much of a chance. In terms of appearances. ]

He pursed his lips disdainfully, but there seemed to be a smile looming at the corners of his mouth.

[... So why...]

[Because not having many opportunities doesn't mean there aren't opportunities, does it?]

He opened his arms and seemed to be embracing something that didn't exist

[Look, Yeyue senior, I don't think I have that much ability to hug you in my arms now, but who knows what will happen in the future? If it doesn't change, what will happen to you? I'm sure you'll be touched by me one day... Sure. Even if it's him you like now, but what about the result?]

Here in the snow... He made such a crazy statement, and this madness will continue

[So, for me, it's a long run from the road of life.] It may disappear before you know the winner, but you can't say that you have lost before you start running or only a few meters after you start running? ]
