Chapter 23 is finally at the intersection of the three people, and Biqigu said the final answer (2)

It takes about 50 minutes to get from Tokyo to Chiba by express bus, but it takes about an hour to get off in Chiba and get to my school, and it takes about two hours to get from your accommodation under the snow to school, excluding delays and other delays. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

So, since I have to rush back to class in the afternoon, I booked my ticket at 11:50 a.m., after all, if I have more time to buffer unforeseen emergencies earlier. So at 10:40, we were already in front of the station.

Well, as a megalopolis of Tokyo, the station is very busy at any time of the day, but it is also very orderly in the midst of the busyness. At least it didn't cause stranded passengers or congestion... But sure enough, I can't get the kind of relaxed station in Chiba.It seems that it's hard every time I come here under the snow.。。。 Great work.

I couldn't help but thank myself silently in my heart. Originally, the plan was to go with me today, but because she herself also had to finish her social practice homework before she came down, so she planned to arrive in Chiba around seven o'clock tomorrow morning, and it has always been like this, after all, as part of elite education, practice is greater than book knowledge is a consistent style.

By the way, in addition to Yukishita and Yubihama, there was another surprising guy who came to see me off at the station, Kawabata Eikazu. Then again, he did ask me when I was going to be back during the first class yesterday afternoon. So being here is also a ... Predictable?

Well, there are four people I know in front of the ticket gate right now: Hayama, Yubihama, Yukishita, and Kawabata, and if they were all there to see me off, then I guess these are the four people.

Maybe it's because it's all on a rest day.,Except for Hayama, who is still dressed in a black suit and trousers.,Most of them wear more casual clothes.,Yubihama is a pink short-sleeved top and cropped pants and sandals.,And under the snow, it's a white casual dress with a white hakama that just covers the thighs.。 Kawabata, on the other hand, was dressed in a light blue skit, similar to the one he was going to play basketball, and even the standard sneakers were called.

I looked back and forth between them and checked the time

[So, that's it, the train has also started to check in.] ]

[Small business, remember the temple fair.] ]

Yubihama was the first to jump out, not saying goodbye but the thing that was unilaterally decided to "go to the temple fair together", and then, Hayama also nodded and said with a smile

[Biqi Gu-kun, then see you next week, temple fair... I'm looking forward to it. ]

[So, I wouldn't have expected it at all..]

Yes.. If you want to see you off, just honestly say some send-off words.. Why does it feel like a special reminder of the temple fair?

[I'll come back and pick you up when the time comes, and stay at school honestly.]

As he spoke, he lifted his chin with his hand and made a thoughtful look, but he stared at me with wary eyes

[I remember... The festival is in October. Sixteenth, whatever you have to book, give me a free spot first, you know?]

[Got it, got it... You guys are really...]

It's just that you don't have any expectations... There is no real meaning of seeing them off, and it is enough, this kind of old woman seems to have to advise, are they all infected? How much are you looking forward to this temple fair? It really makes people very concerned.

At this moment, there was a pleasant sound from the radio, which was the sound of the announcer lady informing me that the train I was on had begun to check tickets, and the queue gradually appeared at the ticket gate behind me.

[The train is about to leave.] ]

After the prompt ended, Xue Xia finally said the first words related to farewell, which is really embarrassing for such a result...

On the other hand, Yubihama seemed to be more victorious, and looked left and right at my side in a bit of a panic

[Ah, it's already this time, have you brought all the things of the small business?] ]

[Don't worry, it won't]

I lifted the bag at my feet, it was all the things I had brought from Chiba, some of the things that had been added under the snow, not only did not forget but also aggravated a lot.

[That.] Than Qi Gu Jun. ]

Hayama also raised his hand and shook it gently at me, once again showing a hearty smile

[Goodbye.] ]

[Ah, goodbye.] ]

With that, I glanced at Kawabata, who had been standing next to Hayama and kept a distance, this guy had just been standing there from the beginning, and if I didn't know him, I would probably think he was just an ordinary tourist.

Before you leave, do you want to say a few casual words... Just as I was thinking this, I saw their eyes under the snow, as if they were waiting for the moment when I turned around and left, so I gave up the idea of talking, picked up my travel bag and prepared to go.

[Well, I'm leaving.] ]

With that, I also began to turn around. But at this time, Kawabata suddenly raised his head and looked at me

[Wait, Biqi Valley.] Students, please wait a minute. ]

[...]

Speechless, I froze on the body that had just turned to most of the body, and looked at him indifferently, and the eyes of the others under the snow also turned to him, showing more or less puzzled looks.

Kawabata first bowed his head slightly to the three of them to apologize, then looked at me seriously, bent down slightly, and said

[I want to talk to you alone... It won't be long, five minutes, can it?]

[Oh...]

I replied, half puzzled and half inquiring, and then glanced at the other side under the snow, and then fell silent after shaking my head slightly, closed my eyes and thought for a few seconds, and then looked at me

[Watch the time, call me back when it's time.] ]

After that, he left with Yubihama and Hayama.

watched the back gradually disappear, and then continued with Kawabata's words

[What's the matter?]

[...]

With a hesitant expression, his eyes kept changing, and after about ten seconds, Kawabata suddenly made a 90-degree bow and faced me

[I'm sorry.]

The voice was so loud that even the tourists around him looked at him with curiosity, but Kawabata continued as if he didn't care at all

[I apologize to you for everything I've done so far, Hikiya-san.] ]

[.... Are you serious?]

Kawabata slowly lifted himself up and looked at me earnestly

[Yes, maybe...] You'll think I'm weird, and maybe I'm ridiculous like a clown, but my apology is definitely serious. I will not refuse compensation or apologies. ]

[Then there's no need, this kind of thing.]

[I'm serious!]

[I know you're serious.] ]

Speaking of which, I couldn't help but shake my head, this kind of thing is really... It's so hard, why do you always encounter such troublesome guys...

[But it's really not necessary.] Enough apologies just now. And I don't think you have to apologize either. ]

[..... Why?]

Kawabata's face was a little pale, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness, his hands were clenched into fists, as if he was enduring or struggling, his eyes were staring at me, even through the lenses, he could clearly feel the piercing gaze, probably looking for a reasonable explanation.

[Because... No matter what you did or what you thought, there was no hurt or loss to me or her, and no one was hurt or lost in what you did... If you have to say it, then it's probably a classmate in this class.Although it's not so responsible to say this, but you're also a kind of deception.. If you want to apologize, just go to them. ]

After finishing speaking, I also became serious to look at him, and in the midst of the crowds, it seemed that time had stood still at this moment, and then, in silence, Kawabata lowered his head slightly, took a deep breath, and struggled with pain on his face for a few seconds before finally speaking

[... I know, I'll apologize.]

[Gone.] ]

Since that's the end of it, thinking so, I turned around and prepared to check the ticket.

[One more sentence.]

Kawabata stood still and called me again, and when I turned around, he began to speak

[I... I don't like you, but I don't hate you either... I envy you, it can also be said to be jealousy, I also have my own way, and I have the corresponding consciousness, whether I fail or be hated or hated in the future, but as long as there is hope, I will always continue!]

[It's your freedom, but I'll remind you of one thing]

Speaking of this, my heart can't help but recall something from before, or a fragment, the mood has become no longer calm, but it is restrained by death, but like a volcano that erupts with it, I want to shout out, after repeated deep breaths, I continued in a deep voice, for the first time... Said in a suggestive tone

[If your actions hurt her...] That's not something that can be solved by apologizing.]

After saying that, without waiting for Kawabata to respond, I quickly passed through the ticket gate and finally stepped on the train five minutes before I left.
