Extra-four: In short, it is an unstoppable obsession (19)

At half past eleven, I was lying in bed staring blankly at the dark ceiling.... No sleepiness. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The final distribution method - Yotsuki lives in Yono's room, while Sasaki and Yono go to Yotsuki's apartment... I don't know how this strange distribution was decided.

... Ahhhh Anyway, it's over for today... If you wake up tomorrow, you might be the same again... Cut, what kind of modern fairy tale is this.. Anyway, even if you get up tomorrow morning, you will continue today's situation, the only difference is that after a night's rest, you will become more energetic and more things will happen... Anyway, there's that guy's birthday party tomorrow?

[Hah...]

He sighed towards the empty room, turned sideways and covered his head with the quilt, and became inexplicably irritable, because the thought of the party... I had the feeling that it would be a lot of trouble. It's almost becoming the norm.

[I really don't want to go...]

But now, don't want to go.. It's just talking... Forget it, go to sleep.

He exhaled helplessly, turned into a flat lying position, stretched his head out of the quilt, took a few deep breaths, and closed his eyes.

"Dangdang Dang"

A rhythmic short knock on the door pierced the silence of this bedroom.

... It's been this time, what's the matter?

With a puzzled thought, he sat up from the bed and turned on the lamp, and his vision suddenly became wider, but it was not very bright, and it was only enough to see the room.

[... The door is unlocked. ]

You don't have to ask to know who you know. Because there are only two people in this apartment, Yeyue has already pushed the door open and slowly walked in.

Well, it would be even stranger if it wasn't her but someone else.

[Anything is wrong?]

[.. Well. ]

Yeyue nodded softly in response, and sat down beside me... Generally speaking, shouldn't it be on the opposite side? On the other side -- there is also a chair on the side of the lamp...

She was wearing a set of white pajamas, which should have been worn in winter in terms of thickness... Maybe it's because the weather has been cold lately, so even if you wear such clothes, it's not cold indoors, and there is also heating. Usually if you live alone, you will turn off the heating.. But today is special.

Sitting side by side on the edge of the bed, I was suddenly surrounded by a faint scent of jasmine, maybe shampoo or shower gel... Or maybe it's the perfume that was sprinkled on the original, anyway... are destined to make people nervous unconsciously.

[That... What's the matter?]

[.. It's about Yuki. ]

After saying this, she frowned and thought about it again, shook her head for some reason, and added

[It's also about you.]

[Oh...]

It's mine.. It's like putting two antonyms together, if you have to say it's a synonym... No matter how you look at it, it can't be put together.

Casting an inquiring gaze at her, the night moon looked straight ahead, right ahead... It was only the half-open and half-hidden door, but even so, she was watching intently, and after a while, she began to speak

[Yui and I.. I've been competing since I met.. Whether it's studying, sports, or everything else, it's because of this, it's been a long time... We became friends.]

[Ahh Hm..]

Although it is a little strange why I suddenly say this, I understand the reason... The strongest enemy is also the best friend... This kind of thing is very classic.

[But I don't want to]

Yeyue shook her head with a smile, her gaze did not change, she looked straight ahead, but added a little more remembrance, as if she was recalling something in the past

[Since I graduated from elementary school, I have been staying with my dad and not going to school.] And the time I met her was also on the first day of junior high school, and the only day I went to school... The reason why I met her in the auditorium as a competitor is also very simple, because at that time, I saw my results by chance... From elementary school to junior high school, I was the first, and she was the second. The names of the two men were very close together, and my name was on top of hers... Such a reason. ]

After saying that, Yeyue looked at me with a smile.

[From that time on, she regarded me as her opponent.] Until now, it has been like this. It's just that a lot of things happened in it, and I chose a different path... And I entered Chiba University thanks to her help.]

I don't doubt that, at first glance, Yeyue has a bad relationship with her, right? As long as it comes to that critical time, the people who will appear will be like her. No matter what happened between them, it was admirable enough to be able to do that.

[These.] It doesn't matter if you don't have to tell me. ]

As for me, I don't want to know too much about these things, because the more I know, the more likely it is to become a burden... Night Moon too, that person too... If you don't know anything, it's better to keep a clear head and make the most appropriate decision.

[No.. You need to know. ]

Yeyue shook her head again, put on a serious expression, and looked at me

[This time, however, it's not competition, it's .] The real, self-made decision is also the one thing she really wants to accomplish. ]

When I heard what Yeyue said, my heart was shocked, and I had a bad premonition. I can't tell what it is, but it's like there's something stuck there, and even breathing is not smooth.

[Yes... What?]

[Something that makes you her.] And then I'll give you everything. ]

....

The conversation stopped at an odd point, and then fell silent.

But now my heart is like a tumbling sea... Because I heard things that no matter how much I thought about them, I couldn't get a reasonable explanation.

I turned my head in a daze, looked at the night moon, and asked with difficulty

[.... Why?]

[...]

Nightmoon answered my question with her head and continued

[One thing is certain, though.] She didn't lie. She said it herself in front of me and my seniors under the snow... When the three of them are together, there are no lies.]

After saying that, Yeyue looked away and looked at the white glowing tube of the table lamp in a complicated way, and finally ended her account with a long sigh.

And what about me? I can't do anything to respond, what I heard, what I knew. It's beyond my comprehension.. Why was she targeted by this person, why did she make such a decision? If it was just competition, I could vaguely feel it from the beginning. is a person who does not admit defeat, but can calmly accept defeat.

If this is the case this time: . . It can all be explained. My intersection with that person... It's only in school, right? I've seen it at other times, but it's rare.

But... Is it hard to understand that decision was made? I couldn't help but ask myself. Because it coincides with something in my mind, I wonder - is it really difficult to understand that such a decision was made?

... Probably, no.

[But... I'll be more serious than anyone else.]

This sentence pulled me back from my thoughts, and I was stunned to shift my gaze to her.

She changed the heaviness just now, a gentle smile was put on her cold face, she looked at me seriously, a hand slowly stretched out, gently caressing my cheek, delicate skin and warm palms covered her face, she smiled a little again, and said

[This time, it's my competition.] I won't lose and I can't lose.. So, don't worry.]
