"Is this still the case?" looked at the six flowers in the distance, and the little bird You Shihua said lightly. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Although I don't understand it very well, Yuta Tomigashi thought to himself, but it seems that something has happened.

"Tomigashi-kun, Miss Toka......" Sora Akiyama looked at the direction in which Rokka had fled, and then at Yuta Tomigashi, "like this...... Are you alright?"

"She's always been like that. "Little Bird Touring Ten Flower Road," I'm sorry to make you smile. ”

Sora Akiyama shrugged: "Then I'll take my leave first." ”

He pedaled, rode neatly onto the lane, and soon disappeared into the bend of the road.

"Yuta Tomigashi. ”

"In. ”

"Come with me. ”

"Where are you going?" asked Tomigashi suspiciously.

"Her ......," the little bird Yu Shihua paused, "Father." ”

Eh, Rokkana's father?

Speaking of which, Liuhua has always lived with her sister, and she has never heard her mention her parents. Now I know her grandparents, but I don't know her parents at all.

"There are some things that I have said before, and now I can tell you. ”

Yuta Tomigashi followed her away in confusion.

The destination is far from the seaside. By the time they drove to the cemetery, the sun was setting. The golden-red clouds stretched across the sky, dyeing the desolate cemetery with a layer of blood, which looked particularly eerie. Yuta Tomigashi kneels down in front of a stone tablet engraved with the words "Tomb of the Little Bird Wanderer".

Rokkana's father died.

"It's been exactly three years. At that time, because Liuhua was still young, her father said not to tell her about her terminal illness. Little Bird You Shihua sighed, "So, for Liuhua, Dad's death was too sudden and without warning. Perhaps because of this, she still can't accept the fact that her father died, and stubbornly resists coming here. ”

"What about your mother?"

"Misfortune doesn't come alone. A year later, Liuhua's grandfather also fell ill, and my mother had to rush back to her parents' house, leaving me and Liuhua at my in-law's house and leaving. The little bird Yu Shihua recounted flatly, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

Yuto Tomigashi was too silent.

"Grandpa's personality is serious and serious, so he can't accept such a six flowers no matter what. Later, I left here for work. Little Bird You Shihua continued, "As a result, after two years, Liuhua is still like this. ”

He recalled the sentence "I must find the invisible boundary" that Liuhua often hung on his lips, and thought of her consistent secondary school behavior, and understood a little in his heart.

Because she couldn't accept her father's death, she created a world in her heart, and always believed that her father was waiting for her on the other side of the invisible realm?

"Liuhua once moved in with me for a while, and then went back to her hometown to live with my grandparents. ”

"Is that so......"

The grief of his father's death, the loneliness of his mother's departure, and his grandfather's old-fashionedness, all of which befell Liuhua, who was only 13 years old at the time, chose to close himself off in the way of secondary two diseases?

Yuta Tomigashi can imagine how painful Liuhua was in those two years, originally the second illness was a thing that was not treated by outsiders, and when he returned home, he had to endure his grandfather's scolding, and the pressure on his soul can be imagined.

"It's getting late, let's go. Little Bird You Shihua interrupted his musings, "It's still the same, don't tell others these words casually. ”

(July 28, 2012, Saturday, night; Rokuka Hometown)

At dinner time, everyone except for the bird Yurokuka came to the dining room.

As a chef at a high-end restaurant, Little Bird Yu Shihua quickly made a table of exquisite food that looked delicious.

"That's amazing! Is all of this made by Miss Ten Flowers?" said Dansheng Tani Senxia.

"It's my profession, after all. ”

"Speaking of which, Birdie's bento is always very luxurious. Ichishiki said.

"yes, it's been a topic of conversation in the class. Dansheng Tani Mori Xia said, "However, I didn't expect my sister to work in that kind of high-end restaurant, I really envy Liuhua!"

"Really?" "Bird Yu Shihua was stunned for a moment, as if she was not used to being praised like this.

"Hurry up and eat. Makoto Isshiki couldn't wait, "I'm moving!"

"I'm moving!"

Except for Sanae, several people present started to move.

"Is this cheese added?" she looked at the large plate of salad in front of her, and her face was very bad.

"Don't you even like cheese?" said Fennel.

"Who wants to eat that kind of thing that smells of dirty rags!" Sanae complained, "It's terrible that it's not only milk in the first place, but it's also a rotten piece of milk!"

Yuta Tomigashi heard it clearly next to him, and the face of the little bird Yujuka turned black all of a sudden.

"Give-me-eat-down-go. ”

Sanae, who has always been not afraid of heaven and earth, is like a mouse who has seen a cat this time, and eats it in a big gulp under the pressure of the aura of the little bird You Shihua.

"Amazing, Amaru-chan!"

"It's worthy of being a holy temperer who even the master is afraid of, and the power of his eyes is really extraordinary, death......! It doesn't seem to be as unpalatable as expected. ”

"Then again, what about the six flowers?"

"Gollum...... yes, why doesn't the master come down to eat?"

"I'll take a look. Yuta Tomigashi got up.

Dansheng Tani Senxia asked suspiciously, "Is she unwell?"

"Ah...... No...... Well, almost. He replied vaguely.

Arriving at Rokkana's bedroom, Yuta Tomigashi knocked on the door.

"Are you there?"

A moment later, the sound of a bird swimming in six flowers came from behind the door.

"What's the code?"

Huh? When is there a code?

"[The True Eye of the Evil King] is the strongest. He had to guess one.

"Wrong. ”

"Is that wrong!"

"It seems that you have been mentally attacked by the Temporal Priests. Yuta is no longer Yuta. ”

When is the mental attack? This guy......

Yuta Tomigashi turned his mind and said in a deep voice, "Do you really think so?" Don't worry, I'm a [Pitch Black Flame Envoy], and I'm not so easy to be hit." It's you, on the other hand, hiding in a room like this, just trying to escape, isn't it okay? Don't you have to look for the invisible border?"

There was a moment of silence after the words fell.

Then the door opened, revealing a bird huddled behind it.

"Really?" she looked at Yuta Tomigashi.

Yuta Tomigashi squatted down until he was on the same level as her: "Why did you lie to you?"

"Because...... Mom, sister, grandpa and grandma they all ......"

"That's why I chose mine. He said with a smile.

"Yuta ......" Little Bird You Liuhua raised her head, her blue eyes blinked, "Sister...... The Holy Orderers must still be on guard, and it will not be easy to sneak out. ”

"Do you want to give up?"

The little bird Yu Liuhua shook his head fiercely.

"So, when are you going?"

"Present...... Now!" she pounced.

"Now?" Tomigashi was startled.

"Well, now!"

"Uh...... Let's have dinner first, because ...... Because there may be a battle later, and you need to replenish enough, if your magic is weakened, you will be in danger. Moreover, if you leave now, Sister Shihua will also be suspicious. ”

He coaxed and deceived him, and finally persuaded the little bird You Liuhua to go downstairs for dinner. As for going out after dinner to find what she called the "place of memories", it can be regarded as an after-dinner entertainment, and she won't say much if she wants to come to Shihua.

(Saturday, July 28, 2012; by the sea)

After dinner, Tanyu Tani Mori Xia proposed to set off fireworks at the beach, which was unanimously approved by everyone. Yuta Tomigashi was overjoyed, and if it was proposed by Dansheng Valley, it would be even less likely to arouse the suspicion of Toka Totori.

Today, the wind is strong, the evening clouds have drifted away, and the night sky is full of stars.

"Hmph, it's finally time for the fire dragon to be born, death!" Sanae sneered as she struck a match.

"This guy is not as brave as he says he says he is!" Yuta Tomigashi complained silently.

No sooner had the match touched the lead than she jumped back like a frightened rabbit, slipped and fell to the ground on the soft sand.

"Wow!Wait!Wait!Ahhh

Dansheng Gu Senxia looked at Sanae who was curled up with his head in his arms, and pouted: "What are you doing?"

"Risk...... Fake Mori-sama, help!"

boom！

The flame rises up, resembling a fountain, and is beautiful. After a while, seeing that there was no danger, Sanae got up from the ground.

"Well, I'll go back with Rokuka to get something. ”

Yuta Tomigashi made an excuse and pulled the bird to swim around the flowers.

"Yuta, let's go to the hidden location of the 'Ice Blue Twin Wheels' first. ”

"Huh...... Good. ”

After obtaining the equipment from the base, Yuta Tomigashi rode in front, and Yuroku Totori, who was wearing roller skates, pulled behind.

"How far is it?"

"Six or seven kilometers or so. ”

"It's so far...... Well, if you ride quickly, it will take about ten minutes. ”

"[Pitch Black Flame Envoy] is indeed the strongest!"

"The strongest?" was praised inexplicably, and Yuta Tomigashi expressed his doubts.

"Well, though, in fact, the [Evil King's True Eye] is the strongest. ”

"Yes......" he echoed reluctantly.

What a mess this is!

Yuta Tomigashi exerted force under his feet and sped up his speed slightly.

……

(Saturday, July 28, 2012; Bird's House)

"How far is it?" asked Yuta Tomigashi, pedaling.

"It's right ahead. Now, Yuta ......"

"Huh?"

"Yuta already knows that Daddy is gone, right?"

"Eh?" Isn't this what Sister Shihua said?

"Three years ago, after my dad disappeared, I saw him. ”

"See? three years ago?"

"Well, I saw it the night Dad didn't see me. Crossing the border, I see...... Daddy. I see it. So he must have been there, on the other side of the invisible line, watching me all the time. ”

That's probably ...... Because I can't accept my father's death, the world I created in my heart, right?

In this regard, Yuta Tomigashi couldn't agree, but he didn't have a word to refute it, so he had to remain silent.

Following Rokkana's directions, they came to a residential area.

"Stop. ”

"Have you arrived?"

"Well, this is my stronghold. Places where I stayed with my dad and everyone else. Little Bird You Liuhua's face was a little less melancholy and a little more cheerful, "Yuta, follow me." ”

She ran towards the cluster of villas in front of her, and disappeared around the corner of the street not long after.

Seeing this, Yuta Tomigashi hurriedly pushed his bicycle to follow.

But when he turned the corner, he saw a small bird standing frozen in front of a clearing.

The clearing is covered with green grass, and in the middle stands a sign with the words on it faintly visible under the dim street lamp.

"For sale. ”
