Chapter 14: Chaotic Time, Chaotic Events (6)

Crowd... Phobia? Literally, it should be afraid of crowds? I turned my gaze to the huge crowd of people in the square, there were indeed a lot of them, so what was she afraid of?

Looking back, I asked with some disbelief

[You.. Afraid of crowded places?]

[Hmm...]

Yeyue nodded lightly, and lowered her head with a somewhat painful expression. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

[That... Going to school and doing buses and trams and stuff...]

[Since I got sick, I have been studying at home by myself, and my father will also tutor me, and every time school starts, it is only for the first few days.] When I came today, I also took the car of my predecessor under the snow.]

As she spoke, Yeyue smiled calmly, as if she had already identified this way of living, without the slightest pain or anxiety caused by this illness.

I looked at her in amazement, ah... I was shocked by what she said. Self-taught... That's probably the kind of person you're talking about, right? Now that I'm a sophomore and have already got my diploma, I'm also self-taught? How hard do you have to study to get to this level?

From this point of view, it can be regarded as a blessing in disguise... Damn it... Yang Nai just left her here?She should know about it, right?Just now, the voice of the night moon... There was a feeling that made me restless, I didn't want to hear it a second time, I hated it.

.... Damn, Yang Nai should know about it, right? Leave her here like this... What should I do now? Go back? But looking at this way, it is basically impossible to go back normally.

[You.. When I was in school, I meant in the classroom after that..]

I hadn't noticed this at all when I was in the classroom before, so I asked tentatively

[It doesn't matter if that's the level...] As long as it's not a lot, it can be overcome.so..]

So I thought, as long as there aren't a lot of people, I can continue to buy things, right? I don't know what you're talking about, but... Ha.. Today is Sunday, do you know what Sunday is? Rest day, that is, the favorite day of social animals in this society, a day when they can get paid for free, so... It's about 10 o'clock, and there are more and more people coming and going to the square and the mall, and there are not many empty seats left in the rest area, most of them are people who come to rest after shopping.

That's not the worst, I guess there will be a lot more people after 12 o'clock and before 5 p.m., what should I do?

[You wait, I'll call a taxi.] ]

That's the only way to do it at the moment, damn it... The next time you meet Yang Nai, you must let her reimburse the fare, at least half of it.

[No, no.] ]

Yeyue shook her head slowly, stopping my intentions, she glanced at the square and then turned back, but after just such a glance, her expression became a little nervous, so... She's probably still scared, right?

[I think it's okay to just go to the store.]

[So you're going to keep going...]

It's no problem to enter the mall, after all, although there are many people there, it is relatively much more dispersed, and there are fewer than in the classroom, so there is no problem in the mall... But the question is, how do you get in?

As far as I know, there are no secret passages in this mall... Emergency exits and fire escapes won't work, right? How to get through this plaza is the biggest problem.

I shook my head helplessly, why does everyone insist on some inexplicable thing and don't understand the meaning of giving up at all? You can choose a new time period for this kind of thing, right? Even if you are afraid and afraid, this part of stubbornness does not seem to have the slightest attenuation. In a sense, they're a lot like...

[You.. Is it only the crowd that is scared?]

[Hmm.] Hmm.]

[So, if I hadn't been aware of the existence of the crowd, would there have been the kind I just had... Situation?]

Yes... I don't think I need to apply for a doctor's license or something, and this illness should be considered a mental illness, right? It's the same as Komachi.

[Didn't realize..]

Yeyue looked at me with some confusion, as if she didn't understand what I was saying.

[In other words, even if you are in it, you don't feel it at all, for example, when you are asleep, you don't even realize that the bell rings after class, right?]

Yeyue blushed slightly, and explained in a panic with some worry

[I、I don't doze off during class.]

[It's just a metaphor...]

Yes... I think I was a person who could sleep straight from the first class to my lunch break without anyone bothering me. Also, you're worried about the wrong place.

[Is there a problem when you don't realize it?]

Yeyue thought for a few seconds, nodded and answered my question softly

[Well, because when I go to bed at night, I always dream of going to the amusement park by myself, so it should be fine.] ]

Amusement park... She must really want to go, right? But with this disease, basically don't want to go to the amusement park until she is fully recovered. Thinking of this, I actually have a subtle sympathy for her. Probably, after her illness, she was basically alone, and her freedom in life was also very restricted.

The lark in a cage - while being safely fed and clothed, it also lost more things.

I remember that on the first floor there should be a place to sell electronic devices.

[Now wait for me, a few minutes, no problem, right?]

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

After hearing my words, Yeyue quickly raised her head and pleaded softly like a child who did something wrong and didn't know what to do.

[It's not to call a taxi.] Just go buy something that will get you to the mall. ]

Ah, no, I always feel so pitiful, people don't dare to look at it directly...

[Huh?]

Perhaps, Yeyue didn't expect me to make such a choice, and maybe, if I held on a little longer, she would probably get into the taxi I called and go back in silence. Perhaps, she just gave it a try today with the mentality of luck.

[That, that I..]

[If it's okay, just sit here and wait for me.] ]

By the time I finished speaking, I had already walked out of the rest area and followed the route I remembered.

When was she... How did you survive all these years? And... Forget it, these are not questions that I am going to care about now, and they are not what I should ask.

[Damn....]

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

A few minutes later, I bought my things and returned to Yeyue, she was still sitting quietly in her position, not looking, not moving, just smiling when I stood in front of her

[You're back?]

[Oh.]

I sat down for a moment and handed her the stereo headphones I had just bought.

[You take this, then turn up the music on your phone louder, close your eyes, and think about what you're going to buy when you go, okay?]

I'm cut off from sound and sight, and now that's all I can think of, and I don't know if it's going to work, ah... I feel so tired..

Yeyue held the headphones, but she held them in her hands for some reason, and she didn't make any movements.

[How?]

[I...]

[What?]

[I don't have music on my phone...]

She slowly took out her phone, and then looked at me blankly, her face was slightly red, and she was slightly nervous, and even her gaze was evasive.

I stared at her for a few seconds, well, that's my fault, I didn't take this situation into account at all.

sighed helplessly again, took out his mobile phone, took the headphones from her hand and connected them, quickly clicked out the music playback function, and then took it to try it first, and after confirming that as long as the two ears were on, he would not hear the sound of the outside world, and handed the mobile phone to her

[Okay, bring it.]

Yeyue looked at the mobile phone handed in front of her, hesitated for a moment, slowly held it in her hand, and said softly

[Thanks..]

[Try it yourself with your eyes closed.] And then... The choice is yours. ]

Having said that, in the present, I also stretch out this expectation from my heart that "I hope it will be useful", not for her... It's this expectation of myself.

Facing the crowded square, looking at these people walking and laughing freely, maybe this is the biggest difficulty for her.
