As I left the auditorium and returned to the classroom, I was met by Yukino under the snow, who was standing at the door of the teacher's office with a tangled expression. When she saw me, she was stunned for a moment, and then turned away, as if unwilling to talk to me.

To be honest, I didn't know what to say to Xuexia, and since she did, I was happy to remain silent, bow my head, and pass by her.

However, just as I was about to avoid her, a cold voice under the snow came: "Will you continue to come to the club next semester?"

I didn't have to look around pretending to be the only one in question, there was no one else in the hallway, and there weren't many options in the community under the snow.

"Sa, I don't know. ”

"If you don't participate, then the activities of the ministry department can probably end, and the club needs at least three people to start the activities, and next year I and Yubihama, I mean your sister, are both in the third grade, and there is not much time for activities, and it is difficult to recruit new people. ”

That being said, how come I've never heard of the ministry being a club that allows you to recruit new people?

When I think of Hiratsuka-sensei, I can't help but think of the bet I made with her when I first joined the club. On the eve of the dissolution of the Ministry of Ministry, who will be the final victor between me and Xuexia, or Biqigu?

Probably neither, maybe Hiratsuka-sensei is, the changes she expected from us have been achieved - but, I don't think she is either, because she didn't anticipate the emotional entanglements in this community, and when the principles are affected by feelings, the final conclusion is actually meaningless.

"Anyway, if Yubihama doesn't want to stay, I'm going to go to the teacher's office right now to give the teacher the key to the club room. ”

"I don't think you need to ask for my opinion, do you?

"If I had made up my mind, I wouldn't have stayed here for so long, and I wouldn't have asked for your advice. He whispered under the snow.

I was surprised that Yukino was able to say such a thing under such snow.

Openly admit your weakness, admit your hesitation, admit your powerlessness.

Is this still the same snow that has to continue to be strong in the face of everything?

"What's the matter? Did I surprise you by saying that?" asked Xue Xia, who seemed to realize my doubts, and gently brushed the hair on her sideburns.

"Hmm. I nodded honestly.

"Actually, admitting that there is nothing you can do is not a bad thing. ”

However, that is not the same as the snow under the snow - always proud, always believe that you are the final victor, that is under the snow.

This has never changed since I met her. Even when she was dependent on others, that confidence in the future was always written on her face.

"After all, when you can't rely on other people and always want to solve problems on your own, people will be more fully aware of their own shortcomings, and when they recognize their own shortcomings, they will understand that there will always be times when they can't do anything. The eyes under the snow looked straight at me, "Because, there are always some things, even if you try to the end, you can't solve them." ”

There are always things that you can't solve, even if you try to the end.

Looking at Yukino's expression under the snow, I understood her thoughts - that Christmas night, she worked very hard and tried to the end, but the result was not satisfactory.

Affection is never something that must be rewarded for hard work.

I was suddenly a little ashamed, the one I once knew, the brave and proud Xue Xia Xue who was shining all over her body, her edges and corners seemed to have been smoothed out by me.

It's true that I'm just trying to tell her something that I think is important, but is what I'm trying to tell her really right?

I told her, and she did what I suggested, isn't that the same as if I was choosing a path for her that I felt was right?

In this way, she is still relying on me, isn't she?

"But, again, as long as you stick to your mood, that's enough, right?" then, however, Xue Nai said under the snow.

"It's not a shame to admit failure, it's not wrong to pursue something unrealistic according to your own heart, there's no need to regret not getting what you can't get, but, before that, you always have to follow the path you believe in, stick to it, right?"

It turned out that it was different! At that moment, I immediately understood this.

Perhaps, it was different earlier, when Snow Snow confessed to me according to her own wishes, I just wanted her to be more independent, but didn't she, in addition to independence, make other decisions?

Isn't she already going to be open to failure and ask for advice? Isn't this all the possibility she has gained by surpassing my own opinions?

"Persistence, don't think about the result, don't care about it, you say this, how do I feel like my sister is talking?" I smiled helplessly.

"It's still a little different, at least, I'm not ignoring the result, all my efforts are still fighting for the best result, but if I really can't succeed, I should be able to accept it calmly," Yukixia shook his head and said, "However, if I have to say it, I think I will indeed be affected by Yui - after all, your siblings have always had a great influence on me, haven't they?"

"Speechless. ”

"So, Yubihama, I'm going to find Hiratsuka-sensei. Snow nodded and knocked on the door of the teacher's office.

"I'm sorry, wait a minute—" However, I stopped her.

It's a bit embarrassing, myself.

Remembering the self-persecution of the previous two months, I suddenly felt a little ashamed.

Is it possible to completely deny the action according to one's own heart just because the result is not good? Didn't the snow tell me this kind of bad judgment a long time ago?

It is never wrong to act according to one's own heart, and even if it fails, one should not deny one's heart.

Of course, the result is as important as the process, but a good result always needs to be coordinated by many factors, and if you deny the success of the process because of the failure of the result, and deny the mistake of your own starting point, it is really ridiculous!

I could have made such a serious mistake.

You've taught me a lesson, under the snow.

Of course, I should have known it a long time ago, and I should have realized it when I calmed down.

It's just that there are some people who are immersed in self-consciousness and haven't gotten rid of it - in a sense, it's still a bit of a middle two?

"What's the matter?"

"Well, don't rush to hand over the keys just yet," I said with a smile, "next semester, I think I can try to help you recruit a few new club members." ”

- Maybe myself, if necessary.

"You know I'm very demanding of my members, right?" was stunned by the snow, but then immediately reacted.

"I know. I nodded, "But you can always find some problem students, right?"

"The Ministry of Service is not a concentration camp for problem children, but that's what you said. Xue Xia retracted the hand that had been placed on the door, and whispered, "Then I'll wait a little longer!"

"Well, thank you. ”

"Doesn't Yubihama have to think about saying goodbye to the seniors he knows or something?"

"Yes, but maybe I need to think again. ”

"Well, to put it mildly, I don't know a senior who needs to say goodbye. ”

"That's easy, isn't it? ”

"Yes, I'm still not good at dealing with so many people's social situations! ”

"Maybe it's a natural skill?"

"It's possible, natural skills. Under the snow smiled softly.

It was a very comfortable, familiar smile, and once, on the lakeside last summer, Yuhihama Kazuya was moved by the moment he saw that smile and began to show off his talents, which led to various stories in the future.

Even now, I feel that this smile is just as beautiful.

"Then, see you next semester!"

"Well, see you next semester!"

Well, perhaps, the first grade of this shit, it's not over yet.

I always feel that it's a bit of a loss to put two chapters in a row.,The plot progresses too fast and it will make people lack a sense of reality.,So it's better to put one chapter a day (grinding teeth)
