Extra: Perhaps, in the new world, she can find a place for herself (32)

When they calmed down, the two of them were already sitting face to face on the sofa in the living room. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

And, because of her relationship as the owner of the apartment, Yeyue also made a cup of tea for me and her, which was placed on the glass table in front of her.

There was a burst of heat in the teacup, and the smell of tea wafted in the air, but were people also immersed in the fragrance of tea? Probably not, because neither I nor she had ever touched the teacup at all, and there was no superfluous movement except breathing.

Because in addition to the smell of tea, there is something more intense in the air that is an awkward atmosphere.

In this confined space, it was just me and her.

Ahhhh As soon as I think about this, I will unconsciously get nervous, and then I will hold everything I want to say in my heart, and then I will sit in this place honestly... It seems to have entered a cycle of infinite loops.

As for why I'm nervous... To be honest, I don't know, it's just、Maybe because I saw the night moon like this, I was also infected unconsciously, right?

No, no, it's not good to go on like this.no.... I guess it's not good.

[Hmm.] ]

I decided to change the status quo, pretending to clear my throat and coughing a few times, the sudden sound diluted the embarrassing atmosphere a little, and when I looked carefully, Yeyue also looked at it with the same gaze, and after looking at each other, I spoke

[That... Can you tell me today. Is there something going on?]

[Hmm?ah..]

In response, Yeyue moved her body slightly, making her sitting posture more upright, put her hands on her knees, hesitated, and began to speak intermittently

[Its、Actually..] Today.. It's not the idea of the seniors under the snow..]

[Huh?]

It's not that person? It's not that person who is causing this situation? It's just her, right?!

[I just.] Please, she just wants to talk to you alone...]

[....]

Ahhhh So, so it is. She is probably the only person who can complete this kind of commission to this extent..." Even elementary school students should be able to tell what they mean by talking alone and being stuck together.

But.. I looked at her suspiciously, not quite understanding what she meant.

[... If you speak, you can do it on a regular basis.]

[...]

Yeyue shook her head wordlessly, it didn't seem to be the simple meaning I imagined, and then took a deep breath, and then didn't make any further movements, raised her head and looked at me with a little hesitation, as if she had something to say, but she didn't speak because of hesitation.

There was silence for a while.

I don't know how long it took like this, but Yeyue slowly lifted the teacup and took a sip, breaking the silence

[How long has it been.

[I don't know... It should have been a long time, right?]

Say I don't know.. Actually, I don't think this has ever happened before, right? A lot of things have happened since I went to college, but when it comes to this situation... Not really.

[Eh, indeed... It's been more than 10 years. ]

[Was that at that time...]

Hearing such an answer, it was as if something had hit her chest hard, but at the moment she had to keep calm and continue the topic.

[eh.. At tea time, it's basically just the two of us staying together. ]

[Such...]

I vaguely remember, there seems to be a shadow that is just a fleeting moment, and now I have lost even the confidence to confirm that it exists, but since she said it, it should be there. Although there is no evidence, I am sure in my heart.

[But all the stuff... You can't go back, can you?]

Yeyue looked at me with a gentle gaze of remembrance, with a sweet smile, almost transparent quiet.

[Ah.] yes, because a lot of things are different.]

[What even has said.] Is it the same? ]

[Already.] Forgot. ]

Speaking such an answer in a dry voice, I couldn't help but try my best to recall the past, and the middle of the small lake, which was originally a pool of stagnant water, was also stirred up with ripples.

In this case: Even I couldn't believe it myself.

[But I haven't forgotten it, and I can't forget it.] ]

With that cold smile that made people feel uncomfortable when they saw it, Yeyue began to slowly shake her head and whispered as if talking to herself

[The words that have been said, the time spent together, the things we have done together, all of them are etched in the memory.] Even after experiencing despair and pain, those things are still clearly visible, for a long time before... These have become the only reasons for me to stay sane... So, I can't forget it. ]

Sure enough, it was.. The so-called things that I named as "insistence", those things that I consider to be "the past", will eventually be moved to the eyes, and I can't respond to these things, while constantly thinking in my heart, my hands unconsciously clenched my fists, if I feel it with a little more heart, I will probably feel the wetness of my palms.

[... Everyone is different, even if it's something that happens together... It will also produce different results for various reasons..]

[I know you're going to say that.]

As if she was ready to hear such an answer, Yeyue's gaze was still gentle and clear, without a trace of impurities, as if she saw the thing she longed for

[You... Forgive me?]

[.. Ah, it's not anyone's responsibility in the first place, and there's no need to get a trumped forgiveness, right?]

From the beginning, I don't think it's her fault, and I don't blame anyone, everyone is a victim, but to varying degrees.

[But I need to.] Thank you. ]

In this regard, Yeyue thanked me very seriously, and then looked at me, and suddenly smiled, very happy. Right now.

But.. How to say.. Sure enough, it's still the most beautiful when you smile... When I looked at her smile from the corner of my eye, I couldn't help but stretch out such an exclamation.

[Hmm, what's wrong?]

[Uh, ah, no, nothing.] ]

Somewhat embarrassed, he shook off those thoughts, took a deep breath, and raised the teacup as a cover-up.

Yeyue also lifted the teacup again, put it to her mouth and took a sip gently, and then dragged the bottom of the cup at the same speed as I put the teacup into the coaster, making a small crunch sound.

Then, look at me seriously.

Because I suddenly felt a significant change in the atmosphere, I couldn't help but feel my heart tighten and held my breath.

What's wrong? What's coming?

[Then... Straight to the point.. Okay?]

[Hmm?ah..]

So.. I don't know. Anything else to say?

[Say no problem now?]

[Ahh No problem.]

Is it because it's hard to speak, so do you check it repeatedly?

[I—Then I'll just say it?]

[Hmm.]

I habitually responded, are you still hesitating... So what the hell is going to be said...

[You.. Will you marry me first?]

[Ah, yes.]

...

Wait, just now... Say what?

Did you hear me wrong? The topic seems to have changed, right? Aren't you confirming something?

When I looked over with an uncertain gaze, she had already buried her head deeply.

looked at her blankly, and Mu Ne asked word by word

[... What did I say?]
