Chapter 5: The Door Is Slowly Opened, But the Fact That Has Already Existed Is Impossible to Discover (5)

[.................]

[You can talk....]

All right... After a long wait, Lord Snow finally returned my right to speak.I don't know whether to be happy or cry... It's obviously just me, and it's nice not to shut up anyway.

Looking at her with anticipation on the other side... Haven't you given up yet... However, no matter how many times I ask, my answer will not change.

So, I shook my head

[No... So...]

[Why?]

Yeyue lowered her head and clutched the coffee cup tightly, and the originally calm coffee in the cup also stirred up ripples in circles, repeating it repeatedly with a bleak tone

[Why.... Why.... Why is this happening?]

[For me, it's the result, and for you, it's the reality.that's all.] Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ]

[...... Is it because of them....]

[What?]

Yezuki suddenly raised her head, looked at Yubihama next to me under the snow and beside me, and turned her head, her eyes became extremely determined, although the tears in her eyes had begun to spread

[It's because of their existence that they become....]

[Nope.] ]

I took two sugar cubes from the sugar jar next to me and added them to my coffee... It's too bitter after all.. I'm really not used to it.. Adult taste or something...

Stir it up a few times, then lift it up again to try the taste... Not.. Barely acceptable...

[There is no expectation, no arbitrary definition, and there is no excessive desire and fantasy stuff...] I used to be naïve, and I also fantasized that in the most uncomfortable and desperate times, I never gave up that glimmer of unattainable hope.... But ah, time will erase everything, whether it's fake or real, some things, as long as you miss it once.... Then, I won't be able to come back...]

I put down my coffee cup, glanced at the three of them, looked at the unbelievable Night Moon, and continued

[After all, in this world... There can't be two dandelions that are exactly the same... Is that so?]

[Small Business... Will this be....]

Yubihama added it at the right time, but this time it was stopped by Yuki, who shook his head at her and motioned for Yubihama to be quiet.... Leave the rest to myself....

In that case, why are you still here? What is she thinking?

[So... But what happened in the past, it has nothing to do with me, I just look at the present.]

These things, whether Yeyue can accept it or not, whether they can understand it or not, I can't explain it a second time, accept the best, be as free as a stranger, and have a lot less things to carry, maybe life will be easier than the people who have been bound by the past, and they are not even qualified to have it now.

She looked at me in a daze, without saying a word, and Yubihama was relatively silent under the snow, and I was the only one who still moved—drinking coffee quietly..... You have to get used to the coffee as soon as possible.

[This is... What do you think....]

[That's right]

[Since when...] Started?]

[It has always been.]

Yeyue closed her eyes, she should be thinking about something, and then, she finally lifted the cup of coffee in front of her and took a sip, and carefully held the bottom of the cup with her hand and put it on the coaster, without making a sound, sighed softly, looked at the snow, and asked

[Miss Snowfall, can I ask you a few questions?]

[..... Of course, as long as I know it.]

[Since that incident, I.... Did a little bit of research...]

Speaking of which, Yeyue used her afterglow to confirm my condition, and after finding nothing unusual, she continued

[Until junior high school...] He's basically all alone... There was little contact with everyone except Komachi, although there was a symbolic confession in between... But that's just the time... Not to mention friends.. I want to know how you, how did you become his friend... Even a fiancée.]

...... Hey, that's not right, isn't it? What do you mean by doing a little bit of research? The investigation is going in the wrong direction, right? It can't be that I know everything.... This guy...

After listening to what she said, Xuexia and I both frowned... Indeed, it's unpleasant to be known too much, even though it's all inconsequential... It's different from the kind of "seeing through" of Yang Nai or aunt... This kind of is to see through a person from reality, truly and thoroughly... If anything: . Then if condemnation is terrible, then the night moon is fear.

[.... Since you know it so thoroughly, wouldn't it seem redundant to ask me?]

[NOT...]

Yeyue shook her head, turned her gaze to me, and smiled faintly, this was her first smile since today

[After three years of junior high school, I didn't know anything.... After all, you still have Komachi, and you have a good time.. It's very stable. ]

Ahh It's great... While curious to see what her investigation looks like... But it's nice not to be monitored 24 hours a day.,That's why it's said that it's up to the middle school... I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

According to her words... Of course, I don't know under the snow and Yubihama.

[Is it...]

Xue Xia looked at her vigilantly, but slowly relaxed after a few seconds. sighed, and also looked directly at the night moon

[Although this kind of thing makes me answer a little cunning...] But I can tell you something.]

[Eh?Yukino?]

[Little, light snow?]

Both Yubihama and I had incredulous questions... After all, this question of the night moon is too strange, isn't it? Is this method going to work? There has to be a limit to imitation, right? No, no, even imitation will not succeed. That's my idea, and it's my practice.

Despite this, Yukishita and Yezuki directly ignored the doubts of me and Yubihama

[If you confirm for yourself that your mistakes led to the current result...] Well, there's just one sentence - the price. ]

[The price?]

It's not just the night moon... Yubihama and I don't understand either... Recently, Miss Under the Snow's literary skills have grown again... What is the price of something..

[The person who has made a mistake, in addition to having to apologize sincerely, must pay a sufficient price to be able to forgive and forgive - if the patient is sick, then if he wants to be forgiven by his body, he can only go to the doctor at the cost of money, and the person who has broken the law will pay the price of freedom in exchange for the re-recognition of society.... As long as the cost and damage are equal... Probably... Even if it's him, he shouldn't say anything more...]

Then, Xu Zhixia suddenly turned her head to look at me and smiled slightly

[Our Hachiman-kun, but it's very simple..]

.... The second lady who says she is self-conscious... I don't admit this reason... Hm.. Although it sounds quite reasonable... Is it cost... After all, she was not wrong at that time.

[Cost....]

Yeyue frowned softly and muttered softly, with an expression that seemed to understand or not.... I wish I didn't understand this kind of thing. It's enough trouble now...

[Okay, Yubihama, it's time to go, Hachiman coming along, right?]

With that, Yubihama stood up under the snow, and Yubihama also stood up after bowing to the night moon.

[Hey, you just used a question sentence, right?!]

[Any questions?]

[I want to cry....]

[If you cry, wait and go to the checkout...] I remember someone who promised a treat.]

Then, as soon as the words fell, Yubihama stood up again and nodded in confirmation

[Uh-huh, I also remember saying that I would come if the small business had a treat.]

Don't add such a sentence at this time.... I feel like I'm a pervert who uses coffee to cheat on girls... Also, Yubihama, your statement is very crooked...

No way... After lifting the coffee and drinking it in one gulp, I walked to the cash register...

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

After glancing at Yezuki, who was still sitting in her seat thinking about something, Yukiki also turned around and prepared to leave under Yubihama's embrace, but the moment she turned around, Yezuki also spoke

[What if... That didn't happen at the beginning, and the person sitting next to him today should be me.]

[This kind of thing... There is no "if".]

He didn't stop under the snow, but responded backwards as he walked.

Perhaps, before we walked out of the café, there was a gaze that had been watching us, but it was hidden on the other side of the door, and no one noticed it.

When the three of us walked out of the café door.... Ha.... It's finally over.
