The same morning, the same office, the same couch, the same people, and the same event - storytelling.

The difference is that the storyteller has changed, and the protagonist of the story has also changed, becoming a young girl.

The story is not complicated, nor does it contain much deep feelings, it is just the prayer of a young girl who has been lingering in a hospital bed for many years.

The girl was left without a family at an early age, and not long after she was hospitalized with an incurable disease, her father, mother and brother lost their lives in an accident.

Since then, she has been living in the hospital, year after year, day after day, even forgetting how long she has lived here.

The girl became an outlier in this hospital, and even if she spoke, no one heard her, and even if she reached out, she couldn't reach out for anything. All she could do was survive in the ward.

And what accompanies her is the scenery outside the window of the ward. Spring, summer, autumn and winter, the trees dyed for the four seasons, and the changing number of people entering and leaving the hospital.

It was the only sight in the girl's eyes, year after year, until she lost consciousness.

I don't know when this scenery was forever fixed in the girl's heart, and the girl began to curse this unchanging scenery, curse the outside world, and at the same time longed for the boundless sky.

Because the sky is boundless, maybe there is a world under the sky that girls don't hate.

The scenery in my mind becomes clearer and clearer, and the scenery that my eyes can see becomes more and more blurred.

When the girl's eyesight dropped to a freezing point, the girl found that she had an extra pair of "eyes", and these "eyes" floated in the air.

No, the girl has more than just eyes, but the body.

Looking up at the sky from the sickbed, the sky overlooks the earth, the same person, the same consciousness, but two different ways of being.

The girl in the sky floats in the air every night and night, overlooking the city, and she begins to feel lonely and wants someone to be with her to overlook the landscape.

At this time, she met a boy.

The boy said that he wanted to be her friend, and he would look down on the scenery with her in the sky, and he would also look at the sky with her on the ground.

The girl's name is Umero Kiri, one of the protagonists of the first chapter of "The Empty Realm", "Overlooking the Landscape", one of the antagonists of the two ceremonies, and a person as pitiful as Asakami Fujino.

The boy is the narrator of the story - Shinji Makiri.

"I see... One consciousness, different vessels, two existences. It seems that this witch stripe fog painting comes from an ancient pure-blood family. It is likely that this family is an expert in prayer, and the surname Witch may refer to impure speech. ”

Orange is well-informed, and she analyzes a lot of things just by Shinji's words.

And prayer and curse are in a sense the same thing, and this peculiarity is the answer to the prayer. However, just praying that she could not truly become a dual being, it seems that someone gave her another container. Shinji, since you want to hit her attention, you have to be careful of this person's existence. ”

"I know, I'm ready to go up against that guy. ”

This is not only for the sake of Wu Tiao Kiri, but also for Shinji himself, he wants to use this person to test his strength and test his growth in the past three years.

Feeling the determination hidden in the calm words, Orange didn't say much more, but just asked, "What are you telling me about this for?"

"I want you to help her. ”

"How can you help? Heal her body. ”

"This is just one of them, and more importantly, I want you to untie the knot in her heart. You know, I'm not good at enlightening people, and sometimes talking and talking turns into a taunt. Shinji laughed to himself.

The two talked for a long time last night, and Wujo Kirie was indeed happy for Shinji's arrival, but until her body couldn't support it and slowly fell asleep, Shinji couldn't untie the two knots in her heart.

Is she floating or flying?

Can butterflies catch up with dragonflies?

"This... Is there a difference between floating and flying?Is it meaningful for a butterfly to catch up with a dragonfly?" Ganya means completely confused.

"yes, yes, that's what I thought. Shinji shook Kanya's hand as if he had found a soulmate, "Drift and Fly are both moving in the air, why bother with this? There are also dragonflies and butterflies, which are two different species." ”

"Alas, you two guys who don't understand women's hearts are really hopeless. Orange sighed, "Listen, two pieces of wood, what the Witch Strip Fog Painting is trying to express is not something physical. ”

"What she really wants is probably to escape, to escape from the monotonous ward, to escape from the monotonous scenery, to escape from the sad fate. There are two types of escape, escape without a purpose, and escape with a purpose. The former is floating, the latter is flying, the former is death, and the latter is life. Only she can decide which kind of scenery she overlooks. ”

And whether a slow-flying butterfly can catch up with a fast-flying dragonfly is her answer to this question. ”

"Isn't that bad?"

"That's right, how can a butterfly catch up with a dragonfly. ”。

Orange covered her face, and finally got out of her speechless emotions towards the two stupid people.

"If it's a speed, of course butterflies can't compare to dragonflies, but this is not a race, can't dragonflies wait for butterflies? In the final analysis, neither butterflies nor dragonflies can fly over the sea, but with the help of a boat, they can fly across the sea and go to another sky. ”

"Why does it sound more and more philosophical?" Shinji began to feel a headache.

"Survival is a philosophy. Orange lit a cigarette with his hand, and the trajectory of the smoke was uncertain, "It seems that you can't figure it out for a while, leave the matter of Wujo Fog Painting to me, I am also a little interested in her dual existence." She's in a hospital with two ceremonies, so it doesn't matter if she's in charge of it. However, when it comes to consciousness and soul, the one in your family is the expert, so let her come over when you have time. ”

"Well, I'll arrange it as soon as possible. "This kind of thing is naturally not shirked.

"Then again, why do you always encounter such a peculiar being? Two ceremonies, a witch fog painting, a vine no, and-" Orange glanced at Ganya and swallowed back the name "Kurokuba Flower", which was also a special existence.

"Who knows, maybe that's your fate. Shinji let out a sigh of emotion. Although Fujino and Kiri-e were brought to Orange by him, he knew very well that even without his intervention, these two people would intersect with Orange's fate because of the man sitting next to him-

――In the story called "The Realm of Emptiness".

PS: For those who haven't watched "The Realm of the Sky", I would like to say that butterflies and dragonflies are dreams about Wujo fog painting that Kuroki also did after the end of "Overlooking the Landscape". It was to the effect that a flock of dragonflies was busy flying, with a butterfly following closely behind, but the dragonfly's speed did not slow down because of this. The butterfly gradually couldn't keep up, and at the moment when it was about to disappear from the horizon, it fell weakly - a reference to the story of the Witch Strip Fog Painting, who sought a companion who could fly with her and lead her to fly, but at the end of "Overlooking the Landscape", she never got it. Even if he uses hints to lure girls to jump off the building, turning them into ghosts, he doesn't notice the presence of the fog painting. In the end, Mist Paint hit the idea to Kanya, who she saw by chance in the hospital and fell in love with it at first sight, she took away Ganya's soul, and then was found by Sister Shi. Kanya's ordinariness has an extraordinary attraction to anomalous existences, Shiki, Fujino, Kiri-e, Flowers, and Bai Junri are all attracted to Kanya, well, the first four are female, and the last one is male. (As for the daughter Liangyiwei, she said that she wanted to defeat her mother and snatch her father...... Well, let's ignore it. ）
