Chapter 55: The Story of Asakura Leaves

After everyone returned to the Hokage's world, they chose to separate directly.

Asuna and Asakura walked in the forest, "Well, please don't worry about the morning." Asuna said suddenly.

"I didn't care. Asakura Ye just replied casually.

"Aye. Asuna seemed to remember something, so she called Asakura Ha's name.

"What's wrong?" Asakura asked suspiciously.

"How did you get through. Asuna remembered that Asakura had only told her about herself and his brother before, but had not told her how he had crossed over.

"Does it matter?" Asakura asked, pausing to ask.

"I heard Ah Ye's dream talk this morning, Ah Ye, the reason why you have the habit of drinking should also be related to your brother. Asuna said after hearing Asakuraha's words, "And I probably like it." Asuna's face became redder and quieter the more she spoke.

"Asuna, you shouldn't like it, but rely on it. Asakura knew that Asuna was a little immature in terms of feelings, so he smiled.

"Dependency. Asuna repeated the meaning of Asakuraha's words.

"That's right, it's dependence. Because you came to this world alone, and finally met a time-traveler like yourself, it is normal for you to have a lot of good feelings for me in your heart. ”

"But when I came to this world, I had my master, my brother, and everyone in the Iron Country who could give me peace of mind. Asuna tried to retort.

"You're wrong Asuna, you're more or less consciously repulsed by them. Otherwise, you'd have already told them about yourself a long time ago. Instead of waiting for me to show up and tell me about myself with a sense of relief. ”

"But I'm already an adult. Asuna said.

"Even if you have the age of an adult, you don't necessarily have the maturity of an adult. Don't forget, you didn't even have the ability to live independently before you crossed over, and even after you crossed over, you still lived a life of abundance in the Iron Country. Asakura said.

"That's right. After listening to Asakura Ha's words, Asuna thought for a moment and agreed, "That's really embarrassing just now." I'll talk to you for no reason" The more she talked, the redder Asuna's face became.

"It doesn't matter. Everyone has their immaturity at times? Asakura said with a smile.

"Hmm. That's right, too. Asuna nodded after hearing Asakuraha's words, and then seemed to realize something, "That's not right." I mean, Aye, how did you get through. ”

Asakura was silent for a moment after hearing Asuna's words, "Forget." Then two words popped up.

"Huh?" Asuna's expression was directly dull when she heard the two words of Asakura Ha. "Then you and I will talk about your past, after all, only you know my business, but I don't know your business, it's a little unfair. "Probably Asuna's gossip heart was stirred up by this morning's incident, or the friendship with Asakura Ye deepened again, and Asuna looked at Asakura Ye with a little unfair expression and said.

"Do you really want to hear it? It's a bit of a very vague story. I've forgotten about it myself. Asakura walked to the side and sat down in the shade of the tree. Asuna also sat down beside Asakura Ha.

"Hmm. Never mind. Asuna replied happily when she heard that Asakura was willing to tell her about his past.

"By the time my brother was a sophomore in high school, the two of us never spoke again. Asakura began to speak.

"Why? You quarreled?" Asuna couldn't understand why two brothers, who had been dependent on each other since childhood, suddenly chose to live a silent life.

"Adolescence. In addition, his younger brother's grades in school have always been better, and some people are jealous of him and ostracize him, and the best way is to show off their family in front of him. Otherwise, it is the wealth of your own family. Because my brother is the only one like me? And it's still an older brother who can't make a lot of money. Sometimes even the tuition fee can be delayed, although the school didn't say anything, but his classmates talked about it in front of his younger brother all day long, intentionally or unintentionally. ”

"Then Ah Ye should have been an adult at that time. Why not go find a job. Asuna said.

"I've looked for it, but how many bosses are willing to hire someone with a criminal record like me. Asakura said with a smile indifferently.

"Antecedents. Aye, you have broken the law. ”

"Hmm. After all, I can't just rely on casual work or picking up scraps to make ends meet for me and my brother, so sometimes I will go to find some extra money, and when I was a child, I was only beaten or scolded at most, and when I grew up, I was naturally left behind in the case. Even if I was lucky, my boss was willing to invite me, but when other colleagues found out about my past, they began to reject me one by one. No matter how good and serious I was, it was useless, and soon I was forced to leave my job and continue my previous life as a casual worker. ”

"After that, my brother finished the whole high school and was admitted to college, but he went to go to college in another place, and I didn't even know it at that time, until he packed all his luggage and went out, I didn't know that my brother was going to go to college in another place. It was only then that I realized that the person who followed me all day could already be on his own before I knew it. ”

"During his years in college, I had called his school countless times, but he rejected them, and guess what reason he used to refuse. ”

"I guess it's because of reading. Asuna thought for a moment and said.

"If that's the case, fine. But he refused to answer my call on the grounds that he didn't have any relatives, you know? When Asakura Ye said this, he was already in tears, "And the school believes it, after all, my brother's grades have always been among the best, so I didn't investigate whether what my brother said was true." So tell me that if you call again, they will call the police. I didn't call again. ”

"I'm sorry. Asuna said guiltily, she didn't expect to make Asakura Ha like this for the sake of her own gossip, "For my own selfishness, I reminded you of your unhappy memories." ”

"It's okay, it's better to say some things than to keep them in your heart. Asakura Ye wiped away the tears from his face and said.

"It doesn't matter if Ah Ye doesn't want to say it, after all, it's your own privacy. ”

Asakura Ye was silent for a while, and continued, "If it weren't for the bank account that my brother and I opened together, some money would be deposited every month, otherwise I would have thought that my brother really didn't want me." ”

"A few more years passed after that, and I was already a bit of a homesick at that time, after all, the money my brother had sent me and the money I had accumulated before was enough for me to eat for several years. Until one day, when I opened the Internet again, a news item popped up and I saw my brother's name on it. ”

"It's the one that got married. Asuna remembered that Asakura had told her about his brother marrying her boss's daughter.

"Hmm. That's right. He was married, but I didn't know it, and my only relative was married and I was ruthless, and I knew about it from a third party. Asakura Ye said as he spoke, his freshly dried face was quickly invaded by tears again.

"Another year passed, one day I went downstairs to buy food, I found a letter in my mailbox, at first I thought it was a mistake by the postman, because I had already paid the utility bill a few days ago, so I was curious, so I took the letter out and saw which floor and which unit it belonged to, so that I could put it back in the correct mailbox. ”

Speaking of this, Asakura Ye said happily like a child, "Asuna, do you know what I saw?"

"It's your brother's letter. Asuna said as she looked at Asakuraha's innocent smile.

"That's right, it's my brother's letter to me, you know? This is the first time we've been in contact for more than ten years, and when I saw the new signature, I slapped myself twice, and I was sure that I wasn't dreaming, so I quickly opened the letter and read the contents, it turned out that he asked me to attend his son's full moon wine a week later. ”

Asakura wiped the tears from her face with her hands.

"I'm really happy that my brother has a son and I have a nephew. After that, I bought the most expensive dress I ever bought, and dressed myself up handsomely, so as not to embarrass him when I attended my nephew's full moon wine, and I didn't want to be a stranger with my brother for more than ten years. ”

"Isn't that great? Your brother and you know each other. Asuna happily clapped her palms together when she heard Asakuraha's words.

"yes, that's really good. Asakura ha laughed at himself.

"Later, when I attended my nephew's full moon wine, I had a great time drinking with my brother, and I thought at first that my brother had invited a lot of people, but it turned out that he was just inviting me, and after the banquet, I was going to take a taxi back, but my brother gave me a car, and said to me very sincerely, 'Brother, do you remember our agreement back then?' I replied, 'Of course, I will never forget it in my life.' Then I took the keys, drove to the beach, rushed down, and ended my life. ”

"Why? Why do you have to drive into the sea? Asuna asked puzzled after listening to Asakuraha's words.

"Because my brother's request is for me to die. ”

"How so. Haven't you two brothers reconciled? Or did you drink too much by yourself? I heard it wrong. Why would he want you to die? ”

"Our agreement. ”

"How can any brother make such an agreement, did you misunderstand your brother's meaning?" ”

"No, it won't. Do you remember? When my brother was in junior high school, he moved. ”

"Hmm. ”

"Because my brother killed someone when he was in junior high school. And I'm the only one in the whole world who knows that he kills. ”

"How come, haven't the police investigated?"

"No, because the body was disposed of by me, the police did not find the body, so it was treated as a missing person. ”

"Oh. ”

"After I had disposed of the body, I said to my brother, 'Don't worry, I'm the only one in the world who knows about it, no third person knows, and I'll bring this secret into the coffin.'" That's my promise to you. ’”

"But...but, you two brothers have been together for so long, maybe it will be something else. ”

"No, because when I was very young, I was beaten for stealing and I became color blind after that. There is no way to have a driver's license at all. And my brother and I have lived together since I was a child, and it is obvious that he gave me a car knowing that I didn't have a driver's license. ”

"........." Asuna fell silent after listening to Asakura Ha's words. After all, she had always thought that Asakura Ye should have crossed after a happy life.

"It's not so much that I forgot, it's that I don't want to think about it. And Asakura leaves directly after speaking, while Asuna is there alone and doesn't know what she is thinking.
