Extra-6: So, there is no intersection between them (II)

The wind blows from both ends of the street at night, and there is a strange coolness, and the weather forecast says that there will be a thunderstorm at night, so such a change in temperature is expected. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Mike and I walked out of my residence and headed in the direction of the station as he was going back to Chiba.

Because it had been a while after dinner, he had lost his reason to stay here.

As he said before, just to take a look, by the way... Stayed and had dinner together. After a short break, he submitted his resignation.

Not a single superfluous word was uttered from beginning to end, simple greetings, exaggerated expressions, but these were only within the scope of visiting. Nothing was said and nothing was done, except to leave everyone with a contact method that they are now.

So, when he proposed to leave, I walked out with him, which can be regarded as a farewell.

As a commission for the snow and the night moon before going out, I went to the supermarket to buy some tissues when I came back. As for the real purpose of Mike's visit this time, I didn't think about it at all, or... I'm just taking the explanation that Mike and I met by chance as the real reason.

[It seems.] I have a certain misunderstanding about you. ]

Mike, who had been silent since he had been out of the house, suddenly opened his mouth after walking for almost five minutes

[Misconception.] It doesn't exist. ]

True, there is no misunderstanding between me and him at all, and it cannot exist...

Mike just smiled lightly and raised the corners of his mouth

[Before I came, I had all sorts of fantasies - all of them in the worse ways. I'm sorry. ]

[... For example?]

[There are no such examples.] ]

He shrugged his shoulders as before, and spread his hands to indicate that there was nothing

[She does seem to be having a good time now, and that's enough.] Assumptions and fantasies can never compare to the reality that is happening, right? ]

[Is it...]

Perhaps, as he said .. After knowing the facts, it is just a waste of time to express one's original conjectures, and it is completely meaningless. Therefore, he knew this very well and would give up.

[Actually, I have a lot of questions that I haven't been able to ask besides confirming this.] But on that occasion I wasn't allowed to ask at all.]

On that occasion just now... Does that mean when you're in the apartment?

I looked at him suspiciously, partly because he hadn't asked the question yet, and partly because he meant it.

Without waiting for me to think about it, Mike calmly continued

[Why did she choose you in the end?] ]

[This question is outdated, right?]

It seemed that the question struck a nerve in my nerves, and I reacted to it a little over-aggressively, because there was a not-so-friendly question in my tone.

[Perhaps, but being outdated doesn't mean I know the answer, so if I don't know, why can't I ask?]

[Then all I can say is that you asked the wrong person...] Answer, I don't have it here. ]

Why do I suddenly hate this question?... I don't know, I just feel disgusted from the bottom of my heart, there is no reason, and there is no process, and sometimes it is like this.

Mike just shook his head lightly in the face of my cold words

[No, I'm not asking the wrong person, and you're the only one who can answer that, because for now, she's not going to leave you at all.] ]

[.. Even if it were, I wouldn't have an answer. ]

I looked at it seriously and suppressed the unhappiness in my heart, after all, Mike was not wrong, and the question he asked was not a difficult question, and his question was really unavoidable.

But even so, I'm still sticking to my ideas

[It's up to me to explain the reasons for other people's choices.] Don't you think it's a little unrealistic?]

[To put it this way.] That's right. ]

Mike nodded, agreeing with my words

[But I'd like to hear your own thoughts -- what do you think... Or, in your understanding, what is the reason for making Yeyue make such a choice? It shouldn't be difficult to find a reason from you without considering her, right?

[My own.] Reason..]

After repeating this whisper to myself, I don't know how to answer. I haven't thought about such a problem at all, even if I have gone through so many ups and downs smoothly, it has always been explained by things like "persistence" and "persistence"... But it has nothing to do with me... Whether it's persistence or persistence, these are all things that belong to the night moon, and now a whole new question suddenly popped up in my mind - why me?

In addition to the reasons given by the night moon itself, do I have my own reasons for contributing to this reality?

Still don't know.. After a brief moment of thinking in my head, I came up with the same answer.

I'm a person who only focuses on results and doesn't like to think about the process, I was, I am, and I will always be in the future. Then there's no need to spend too much time on reflection.

[I don't know.] The only thing that can tell you is... I love this kind of life now, and that's enough. ]

[So have you ever made an effort to live this life?]

[... Yes. ]

Thinking back to those previous experiences, I nodded affirmatively.

[That's enough.] ]

With that, Mike suddenly stopped, faced me, sighed softly, and shook his head softly

[I'm also trying, but it's clear that the one who succeeds is you.] Of course, hard work does not necessarily mean that you will succeed, and among them, the decisive factor for success or failure. It can also be attributed to "luck", which is ridiculous, isn't it? But just think about the fact that there are so many people who start a business, and less than 1 in 10,000 of them can succeed. Competence is not the most important, the most important thing ... It's luck. So, you're luckier than me. That's all. ]

With that, Mike tapped me on the shoulder, said "goodbye" and walked on, while I stayed where I was, because, after crossing the sidewalk, I entered the confines of the station, and there was no need to go any further.

.. Luckily... Perhaps.

But it's not all lucky...

With this in mind, he watched Mike's back in the distance until he disappeared at the entrance of the station.

[Goodbye..]

Really.. I have nothing in common with him.
