Late at night, there was silence all around. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Arashi sat alone on the balcony railing, her feet facing outward, hanging in the air. This is the mansion of Emilia's acquaintance, and the first night in the other world is quietly descending in the starry sky.

Untie the bamboo tube from your waist and open the stopper, and a rich aroma of wine gently overflows, wafting in the cool summer evening breeze.

………………………………

The images in my memory are always full of nostalgic tones.

The vast sky, the calm sea, the free-flying seabirds, and the waves crashing on the boulders from time to time splash of water of various sizes. The scenery that didn't seem special at the time became a rare and precious thing when it is kept in my mind and recalled in a foreign land.

The two imps standing on the boulder communicated with each other, not so much as communication, but one of them telling one-sidedly, and the other just stood by the whole time with a hearty smile.

"Kojiro, why are you so strong this bastard. ”

"Damn, just laugh, one day I will defeat you. ”

"I mean really, you don't have to laugh anymore. ”

The guy named Kojiro still laughed to himself, and his partner next to him gritted his teeth in anger.

White snow

Pure white and clean snow slowly falls from the sky

The boys, who had been nestled in their rooms, were dragged outside by their friends until they came to a snowman built by the children of the village.

"Kojiro, don't tell me you want to build a snowman?"

"Ah~ah~ah!"

"Oops, you deaf swordsman. Didn't I teach you how to write, you wait for me, I'll go back and get pen and paper. ”

"Ahh The long-haired boy standing in front of the snowman grabbed his departing companion, looked around, and then plucked the branch that was used as the snowman's arm with his hand.

"What the hell do you want me to see. ”

The long-haired boy waved it twice at will, as if to adjust his hand again, and the hand holding the branch suddenly slashed towards the snowman in front of him.

"Did you split the snowman in half?" with a branch? Kojiro, how did you do it, damn it, why did you get stronger again!!!!

"Ahh ”

Seeing his friend's frantic expression, Kojiro laughed happily.

………………………………………………

"I've thought about it, Kojiro, and in the future, my swordsmanship will be called Yushuiliu. They don't call you 'rock flow', hahaha. The only thing that can defeat the boulder is water, and one day, you will lose to me. ”

"Ahh ”

"Stupid, what are you laughing at, do you hear me, you can't lose to anyone but me. ”

……………………………………………………

"Kojiro, you are so beautiful, I'll find you a daughter-in-law. Pushing the sand table full of characters in front of Kojiro, the two of them sitting in the courtyard were enjoying the coolness of summer.

Releasing the bird that stayed in the palm of his hand into the sky, a handsome swordsman who has become a handsome swordsman passed down by word of mouth among Kyoto women, Kojiro stretched out his white palm to smooth the sand table, picked up a branch, and wrote: What is a daughter-in-law?

Stupid, the woman who lives with you.

Like a flower?

"You asked me to go up there and find you a woman like a flower. Fool, you're like this, what are you going to do if one day I'm gone. ”

As if to off his friend again, Kojiro sticks out his tongue and shows his trademark gentle smile.

The black-haired dog lying in the back room rolled his eyelids, changed his position and continued to sleep.

A hot summer day, a cool summer day, and the calm flow of time must be a beautiful day.

"You're leaving, aren't you going to say goodbye to Kojiro?"

"Hehe, parting is sad. I left him a note, so I'd better wait for him to come back and read it himself. ”

In the quiet room, a teenager with luggage talks to his loyal dog.

There was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps at the door, and the visitor couldn't even wait to knock on the door, so he directly pushed open the door and shouted, "Brother Lan." ”

"What are you doing in a panic, Torajiro, how can you learn swordsmanship by Kojiro's side with such a heart. ”

"They...... They said...... Master...... He's dead. ”

The funeral was held on a rainy day.

"Brother Lan, this is a letter left by the master for you. ”

With his bags on his back and preparing to return to his hometown, Torajiro handed over the items in his hand.

Goodbye, Torajiro.

When I got home, I opened the letter, which was very short and only one sentence......

In the winter of that year, a thick layer of snow piled up on the ground.

Sitting alone in the courtyard, watching the white snow slowly begin to fall from the sky again.

It turns out that when you look at the snow alone, you can become so lonely.

"Was I so noisy before?

Taking a gentle sip of the wine in the bamboo tube, Arashi, who smiled lightly, placed it next to the karma.

The evening breeze also brought a slight floral fragrance.

Looking up at the sky from the hair, the moon shone brightly in the dark night with the stars shining
