Chapter 31: The Beginning in the Dark
When I walked into the cooking room and saw her sitting on a chair under the snow, I knew that she was not in very good shape. Although her basic image and sense of etiquette kept her from slumping on the table even when no one was around, it was clear that she was not very comfortable.
To be honest, in the face of such snow, I don't know what to say, and an ordinary "hard work" seems to be a bit insincere.
Instead, she spoke first.
"Why are you back?"
"Well, the drama is about to start, and I found out that the chief director is not there, so let's take a look at the situation. β
"How do you know I'm not here, go backstage?"
"Hmm. β
"Just enjoy the results, don't run to the backstage if you have nothing to do!" said with a chuckle under the snow, it could be seen that although her physical condition was not satisfactory, her mental state was still good.
"The main thing is that the show next door is too boring, and I'm not interested in this kind of mash-up concert, so I wanted to walk around, and I happened to meet Isshiki, and she said you stay here. β
"Then it won't go backstage," Xue Xia shook her head, "but it doesn't matter, so what's wrong with the play?"
"There shouldn't be any more now. β
"Mean- just had a problem?"
"The high school students in the student council were too nervous and might have skewed the mood of the elementary school students, but now they should be adjusted. β
"I guess you helped by the way?" asked under the snow, squinting his eyes.
"It's not deliberate, although Isshiki said it did help. β
"Ah, Ichishiki-san!"
"Hmm. β
"Actually, you know what? After spending a little more time with Isshiki, I found that she was still not as unbearable as before. β
"Eh, did you have such a relationship with Isshiki before?"
"Of course!" Xue Xia frowned, "That's the person who stole my position as student council president, can't get along with her?"
"But I really couldn't see that you had any bad opinions about her before, not to mentionβ"
- What's more, the person who caused you to lose the student council president is obviously me, and this sentence is still unspeakable.
"I definitely don't put personal emotions into my work when I work, and my evaluation of Isshiki-san refers to something that is outside the normal judgment of work. β
"Hah-"
"What's wrong, it's not like my style?"
"Nope. I shook my head, I don't take personal feelings into my work when I work, which is really in line with the style under the snow.
The problem is that because it is too consistent, there is a sense of dislocation for a while, because, under the recent snow, all kinds of words and expressions are somewhat inconsistent with my previous expectations, so when the dislocation has been happening, when you get used to this dislocation, and even take the dislocation as normal, and the other party suddenly returns to normal, this will produce new discomfort.
"So, did Ichishiki-san ask you to come over?"
"Well, yes. β
"Yes, you know that if you tell a little lie at this time, saying that you took the initiative to think about it, the impression in the girl's mind might be better. β
I didn't understand the meaning of the words under the snow, but the habit I had formed before made me immediately wary.
"It's not my style to lie at this time. β
"Well, I know, I just think Yubihama can be a little more flexible. β
"Obviously you haven't been flexible yourself, so don't complain about whether I'm flexible or not. β
"By the way, do you really think that I haven't changed?" suddenly asked under the snow.
I looked into her face, just in time for her deep gaze, and then, subconsciously, avoided her gaze.
"Yes, yes?" I replied cautiously.
It's not under normal snow, it's not under normal snow that is out of place, it's another one, under the elusive snow.
"So, does Yubihama appreciate this change?"
"Well, that's not good. β
I hate this feeling, this feeling of never being able to get the words clear, and to explain more would make me seem a little self-righteous, but just such a decent answer makes me feel like I am stuck in my throat.
I can only passively wait for the question under the snow and then respond, but as long as she remains mysterious, I will not be able to get out of this maelstrom.
"By the way, now the drama is about to begin, right?" However, under the snow, it seems that he doesn't want to end this suspense drama.
"I thought you didn't want to see it!"
"I probably wouldn't have gone if I hadn't been told the time, but now that you've come to tell me about it. She spread her hands and asked, "Do you have a place for me?"
"In the audience, my sister did leave one for you at the time, but since I've already run out, I'm not sure if she can protect both seats by himself. β
"Anyway, let's take a look, if your sister doesn't protect the seat, we'll find another place to see. β
"Okay!" I nodded helplessly, though I was still a little nervous about the last words under the snow.
"We" is looking for another sense of position, and this "we" seems to be used too naturally.
---------------------------------------- Dividing Line-----------------------------------------
I've also wondered what would have happened if my sister had done everything in her power to protect the two positions next to her - but the world never tolerated such boring assumptions, and when I returned to our seats under the snow and saw that the seats that belonged to us were occupied by someone else.
After all, this is not a formal performance, and there are no tickets for sale, and even the seats that serve as the audience seats are temporarily placed on chairs, in this case, if no one does the front row for a long time, it will be difficult for Sister Yui to protect the position for the two people, so when she looked at me with her hands folded with tears in her eyes, I could only wave my hand to indicate that it was nothing.
"Otherwise, I'll go find a new position with Xiaohe and Xiaoxue, I'm not embarrassed to be here alone, there is no familiar person around, it will be embarrassing. β
"It's okay, the drama is about to start, right?We need to find a place It will take a while, don't affect Yubihama you," However, Sister Yui's initiative was rejected by the snow, "What's more, it should be easier to find two seats together than three seats together." β
"Really?" Yui gave a deep look at the snow and finally nodded.
I followed the snow to find a new seat.
"Anyway, it's not easy to find two people to sit together, right? "After leaving my sister's side, I just proposed it to the snow.
"The three of them have already separated, and it won't be good for the two of them to be separated again, right?"
"It's because the three of them have already separated, so it doesn't matter if the two of them are separated again, right?"
"That being said, but," Yukishita turned around and looked at me, "I'm not sure if it's my delusion, but Yubihama didn't deliberately avoid me and keep a distance from me, right?"
"Uh-" As I said earlier, there are some ideas that can be hinted at and considered for yourself, but to really express them would seem like I'm a little too self-conscious.
Therefore, at this time, I can only deny this speculation of the other party.
"How is this possible?"
"Really, I'm worried that Yubihama will misunderstand me because of what happened before, so he deliberately wants to distance himself from me!"
"Haha, that's reallyβ" I scratched my head and replied with a wry smile.
"But if you don't want to keep your distance from me, let's find a place to sit down, right?"
"Well, no problem. At this point, I can't stay cold anymore - unless I just pick out the question and ask, "Do you want to sit with me?"
"Sa, let's find a place together!"
Although some of the words could not be said by my own accord, some strange feelings were still obvious, such as the fact that the drama had already begun, the lights had been extinguished, and we had not been able to find a seat in the dark, but under the snow we were not in a hurry about it, and even enjoyed it a little.
"If you can't, you'll have to stand in the back. Finally, she said.
"Weren't you tired just now? if we find a placeβ"
"-It's okay, didn't I come with you because I was rested?"
The snow blocked my last temptation, and finally, after the play had fully begun and continuing to walk around the audience might have interfered with the sight of the rest of the audience, we had to stop looking for something to do and obediently stand at the end, looking at the stage.
Rumi Tsurumi, who was wearing a blonde wig, slowly walked onto the stage, and the theatrical performance of "Maggie's Gift" officially began.
