Chapter 23 (6)
Chapter 23 is finally at the intersection of the three people, and Biqigu says the final answer (6)
By the time I got off the train, it was past eight o'clock. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Even now in the middle of summer, it is inevitable to rely on lights for illumination, and it is completely into the time of night. While thinking about today's events, I walked to the apartment, and when I came back to my senses, I had already come to the automatic door. I slowed down my pace because I was thinking, but... But I feel like I'm back to this place faster than ever.,It doesn't seem to be close.,Here to the tram stop.. Doesn't it usually take about 10 minutes to travel?
I exhaled. I kind of want to go home... The home I'm referring to is the one with Komachi, not here.. But it's just a matter of thinking. Now that you've lived in this place, it's impossible to go back, unless it's a holiday.
Explaining myself, I stepped onto the elevator.
After stepping down from the elevator, I took out the key from my bag, and now the orange light above my head sprinkled the entire aisle, and there was no special change from before, except for the door that was about to open, there was also a door that closed quietly. After a few seconds of hesitation, I walked over anyway.
Before you go back, say hello... I know it's not good, but I don't think it's any better.
After gently ringing the doorbell and waiting for a few seconds, there was a slight collision sound from the side of the door, probably confirming the person from the electronic eye.
Then the door opened, and the figure of the night moon appeared, speaking with a smile as beautiful as she remembered
[Returned.] ]
[Oh...]
The reaction was calmer and more ordinary than expected, and it made me flutter a little. Hm... Maybe I'm just too fixed on things, or maybe it's not a long time for her, and I'm taking it for granted.
I took a step back after feeling a little relieved, after all, standing so close would give people the feeling of wanting to look into the room, but correspondingly, the night moon also leaned slightly to make way for a passage the moment I retreated
[Come in and sit?]
[Ah, no..] No need. ]
[Can I go sit with you for a while?]
[This also...]
I see, that's what it means to "sit down and talk about it calmly." After all, standing like this is not a good way to talk, and if you sit down, it will definitely lengthen the time and topic of talking, maybe there will be many topics, or... She already had so many topics to talk about.
But in the choice of whether I go in to her side or her to come to my side... I was a little hesitant, and more of a puzzle was why there wasn't an option to say no, but it was like a multiple-choice question. If I could, I didn't say anything and went back to sleep.
Night Moon's gaze returned to me, slightly cheating her head, and just like that, she fell into silence, and I was also in a state of hesitation because of my choice, and I couldn't speak.
[So, did you only come back now?]
[No, it's noon.] ]
The first to break the silence was Yeyue, but maybe it was just to open the topic again, so his voice changed a little, and then after he finished speaking, he seemed to glance at me carefully, and the atmosphere changed subtly, and I also looked away, in short, I couldn't look directly at each other at such a time.
[Afternoon class.] Did you go to it?]
[M.] Pretty much. ]
I tried to confuse the past, hoping to end the topic as soon as possible, and when neither of us could find a topic to talk about, it would be more natural to persuade them to say goodbye, but from this part of the conversation alone, I couldn't find a natural place at all, so... Why is it confined to nature at the end?
[....]
Yeyue looked at me hesitantly, biting her lip gently, as if she had something to say but didn't dare to say it for some reason, and for a short period of hesitation, I didn't know what to do, so it became a state of standing straight in front of her door with my eyes away.
[Come in..] Is it okay to have dinner together?]
Just as it was about to turn into complete silence, when I was about to say "goodbye", the voice of the night moon once again resounded through this silent corridor, as pleasant as a mountain spring, as lively as a stream, I had always thought that it was a gift from nature to her, but... What kind of magic does this kind of sound produce when it is attached to what it thinks is called tender affection?
I don't know, as I'm in now, I don't know how to answer, but I naturally ruled out the option of rejection, that is... Can't refuse.
[Haven't you eaten dinner yet?]
I slowly turned my head back, paused for a moment, and finally made eye contact with her. Although it is a voice, it is not the answer, but it extends the question again.
[.... I'm waiting for you. ]
[There's no need, this..]
Unconsciously frowned, and a faint sense of irritability appeared in my heart, was it to win sympathy? or... No, it's not like that, looking at Yeyue's eyes, I shook my head again to dispel such a ridiculous thought, and the words of sympathy are too naïve, from what I know, she is not the kind of person who is good at deceiving, it has something to do with the person itself, of course.. I don't think she's a gentle person.
I thought like this, and Yeyue looked at me in a daze, and then a gentle color appeared in her eyes, but the smile on her face was so sad - like a flower that blooms at the most beautiful moment but suddenly withers away quietly and beautifully, she said as if laughing at herself
[... You can think of me as a liar who is cheating everyone, but I would prefer you to believe a little bit, even if I lied to everyone... I will never lie to you, since that day, everything I have said to you, is true. ]
[... I'm not saying you're lying. ]
[Whether it's like being cheated or forced, can I have a chance to wait for success like this?]
Facing the eyes of the night moon, I unconsciously began to be overwhelmed again, knowing that it was just a thing that could turn around and leave if I refused, but I couldn't say it when the words reached my throat, as if I was blocked by something.
[But.] I'm already outside...]
[That's the same time as before, with me through this dinner.] Is that okay?]
When I was said like this, I instantly quieted down, glanced at the night moon, and never been able to say what I had to say. Something that had been forgotten slowly loosened again, and I tried to suppress it, sighing silently in my heart
[Then... Excuse me. ]
[Welcome back.] ]
After a pleasant voice with a vague answer, Yeyue gave up space as much as possible, and I confirmed, and the foot in the air hesitated, and finally walked in with the schoolbag.
