Chapter 22 Again, Immersed in the Shadows, He Thinks Positively Alone (5)

[Yes, I'm sorry...] Just - didn't hear what you said...]

My heart was about to pop out of my chest with such sloppy eyes, but it seemed that my reaction was already expected by her, and after I finished speaking, she said it unhurriedly

[Are you currently living with Yukino Koko?]

Ahhh I've heard it very clearly... But... I looked under the snow, but I noticed that although she was also a little flustered, at least she was much calmer than me, and after a short moment of contact with my gaze in the air, she turned to look at her mother and took a deep breath

[Yes, Mom.] Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ]

[Wait, you don't blame you, do you?

[Hachiman-kun shut up for me..... I'm the one who called you here, what's wrong?]

As I spoke in an unquestioning tone, under the snow I looked at me with a rhetorical look, which was worn away along with my explanation and courage, but after a brief moment of stunnedness, I just silently looked away, and then looked at my aunt seriously, and shook my head gently to deny such a conclusion

[That's not right, aunt.]

I bowed my head to her and apologized sincerely

[I was wrong.] Although the responsibility is not mine, please let me take it all willfully, I'm sorry.]

In any case, at this time, and only at this time, let me act like a real man, although I am really afraid in my heart...

Xue Xia opened his mouth and said nothing, and after repeating this action a few times, he turned his gaze to his mother in a bit of a daze, as if to confirm what the consequences would be, after all, with worried and unbearable eyes, I think, these two people, should know what I did and why.

Simply discussing responsibility will take a lot of time and make things more complicated, but if you just find someone who is responsible, and there are volunteers, you will avoid unnecessary debates and make things much easier. Right now.. It's not the time to discuss whose fault it is...

[Mom...]

[Can I take his word for it?]

Facing the mother's inquiring eyes, Xue Xia couldn't bear to nod after all, presumably after a constant struggle to make a judgment, seeing her reaction, the mother under the snow sighed softly, and then looked at Xue Xia and me seriously, looking back and forth with concerned eyes, I and Xue Xia also lowered their heads together, and the sound of practicing breathing was controlled in a very small range, and then, there was an exclamation that was close to helplessness

[Although you are like this now.] I have the freedom and the right to choose, but as a parent, as long as my children are not on their own, I will have my responsibility... No, even if it's self-care, parents will worry, and it's my responsibility. ]

The tone was full of worry, but it was unexpectedly calm, not angry, not scolding, but as if calmly explaining the reason, looking at the eyes under the snow in addition to love or love, people can't refute the eyes.

[So, are you really ready to plan for the future?]

[What?]

I looked up in surprise, not because I didn't ask or hear clearly, but I was just surprised by the question she said, "It's... What?", the feeling that something important is taken over in one step and then replaced by a very distant question... It feels a little confusing.

[I hope that you have thought about it together and thought seriously about the direction of the future, rather than just being together just by feeling, in the future... Have you all figured out your path?]

As a mother, worrying about her daughter's future is a matter of course. But it seems that what problems are ignored is just that....

[..... I've thought about it. ]

The answer was under the snow, and by this time she had already regained her composure, showing a resolute expression, and then, her eyes drifted like me.

[I have a plan, too, the same as before.Not much has changed.] ]

As I spoke, I once again thought about my mother under the snow and bowed, and said seriously, "More than a year ago, I was asked such a question... But after saying this, I will feel that the whole person is a lot more relaxed, maybe it is lucky, maybe it is happy.

Looking at me and Xue Xia who answered like this, a smile appeared on her face again, a little less worried, and a little more helpless, she shook her head gently and sighed helplessly

[Is it...] Since you all say so... Let's see the results... So?]

Although it is in a questioning tone, it is not like asking for advice, but with the same thing that has already been decided, and there is no season for people to follow.

[However, it is a little inappropriate to say this now...] Biqi Valley. ]

[Yes.]

Suddenly my name was called, and I was in good spirits, and even my waist was straight.

[And Koyukino too...]

She looked at me, glanced at me again, and began to speak like a narrative

[In reality.] There are very few things that can be done fairly, and most can only be done justly... But at some point, trying to be equal can also be the best way to go... No matter how many people in any collective, no matter how many people blindly give, blindly take, blindly accept, even if everyone is willing - this is unequal and wrong. Absolute fairness does not exist, try to find relative fairness...]

At this point, she paused, looked back at me and the snow, her eyes showed nostalgia, shook her head slightly, and sighed

[You guys.... It's so similar...]

As a concluding remarks, this sentence contains a lot of things that I read from it, but more of it is a question of the unknown... Or longing? I can't even explain that myself. And under the snow, he also looked at his mother with a stunned expression, and bit his lip lightly.

Then, for a moment, the snow showed an unbearable expression and bowed her head to her mother

[I see...] Will try..]

[Ahh Me too.. It won't...]

[Bikigu, you're doing a great job, don't worry about that, but a little bit of a reminder is... Forget it, as a person who accompanies Xiao Xueno, you are already very good, what should you do in the future... The choice is yours. ]

After saying this with a light smile as she watched me, her gaze turned to the things that had been placed in front of us

[I'm in for a treat today, so let's go back early after drinking.] ]

After saying this, he didn't stop, glanced at the snow that was still silent, and got up to leave. That sentence is also an order to end this topic.

In the end, there was not even a word of parting.

Isn't that too much...

After seeing her leave the coffee shop, I looked back at the snow worriedly, only to find that she had been smashing the straw and sucking the juice with a lamenting breath. More energetic than expected...

[Yukino...]

[Hurry up and go back after drinking, it's okay oh, myself.] ]

[....]

Hm... Although you say this in your mouth, what is the matter with your very unconvinced face? And why do I have a smile on my face but I can't even find the slightest smile?! That kind of look..
