Light snow

"Where are you going, game?"

"Well, go outside a little bit."

"Yes"

The partner who said this put on a scarf, gloves, and coat, and went out on complete defense

"Wow, there's a lot down there..."

Actually, this is the first time I've seen it

"So, another me, let's go!"

"Keep up!"

So he said, and his partner ran through the snow

＊＊＊

In front of you, the square occupied by snow is the world of silver

There was not a single footprint, and a brightness that was different from the gloomy rain shone in the dark night

"Uh-huh!

The excitement was like that of a child

"Look, it's just my footprints around."

My partner smiled happily from the bottom of my heart. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info probably because of the cold, my nose and cheeks are a little red

"The other me" my partner suddenly called out to me, and when I looked back, my partner had a confused expression

"Why am I so excited on your face?"

"No... I didn't..."

"Let's swap!"

“？”

"Actually, if you touch it, you can understand my feelings, right?"

"Eh, wait a minute"

"Okay, swap!"

After the feeling of floating for a while, the five senses gradually became clearer

Slowly drifting fine snow

My cheeks ached slightly

"It's cold, buddy"

"What—. That's all I thought—?"

The partner seems to be a little dissatisfied. However, if you stay here all the time, you will catch a cold. No, it was to make him catch a cold

“... Partner, go back."

Even though the body is one, we exist as different "human beings".

Whether I should be happy or sad in the face of something, I still can't judge

"Another me! Look over there!"

Looking back, stretching from the center of the square were my footprints

"When I go, it's mine, and when I come back, it's your footprints."

The two of them used one person's footprint, which felt good, and my partner looked at me with a smile

"So, go back to the sweet bar"

"My partner is still underage, so I can't drink."

“.. Aren't you—?"

"I'm 3,000 years older than you, so I'm not a minor"

"Too, too cunning, another me, to use that advantage at such a time!"

A world without sound

The snow drifted silently

Holding the premonition of parting

Poison Cup

That's how it goes

You're trying to get your memories back

If that's your wish, I'll do my best to help you

As long as you reach out and can fulfill your wishes, even if it is the separation that connects us, I will hold him

"I'm sorry, buddy"

The other me who apologized to me with a confused expression

"You don't need to apologize, that's your wish, isn't it?"

"However, that will definitely be painful for the partner"

It's so gentle

Please, don't be so gentle with me

Being gentle with me will shake me. Don't let the choice bar in my mind increase any more

You will unconsciously say what you can't say

"You have granted my wish. It's time for me to make your wish come true this time."

Why don't you answer me firmly?

Only one cup to choose from is enough

Even if it was full of blood or poison, I would choose that one

Because it is connected to your future, to your peace

But I am the only one who can take the sword from your hand

I'm not going to give that power to anyone

No matter who the other person is, only "that" is my own thing

Umbrella (Return to the Underworld)

"Ah—... It's raining."

It was already dark outside the school, and it was raining coldly. The rain during this period was so cold that it felt like your bones were frozen

The exhaled white breath dissipated in the dark sky

I didn't want to get it so late today

Today is the final day of the exams, and the school will release them early. So I was thinking about whether I was going to go to the arcade or burger restaurant when I went back

I guess I'm the only one who thinks that the school bell is the beginning of a new day

So, under the clear afternoon sky, I was always looking forward to the final day of the exam

It was the homeroom teacher of my class who shattered my small expectations

"Muto-kun, can you come here?"

After the exam, I was called out of the classroom and got a large number of notebooks and class lists

"Teacher.. This is.."

There is a bad premonition

"This, can you help me check the list of classes to see who has handed it in?"

"Me...?"

This is clearly more than the amount of a textbook. It's bad enough to give it all to my teacher

I reconfirmed it to the teacher who was full of please

"Yes, Muto-kun, you didn't go to cram school or work part-time, did you?"

Well, it's like I'm an idler!

It was also very good to be able to find a teacher who was leisurely in my senior year of high school

....... Ah, not the time to sigh

"Well, please."

“... Yes"

I can do all the things, and I have already reached this point when I want to go back

Usually I help my Jonachi-kun and Kyoko have to work.,Tsura-kun is a cram school.... Right?

Honda-kun's words are a part-time event. After class, everyone said to me, "I'm sorry I can't help you."

The other me was not there when I was handed over by the teacher. I think I'm going to work at KC today

Sorry for whatever.... It's not like everyone has done anything wrong...

Everyone's future contains everyone's dreams. Even if there is a separation, I want to support them

However, it does feel a little lonely

"What to do... I don't have an umbrella."

Looking at the reality that is different from my heart, no one answers my self-talk

The icy air was even colder

"Do you want an umbrella?"

Turning my head to look at the source of the sound, I only knew that a person could have such a deep and steady voice

"Another w... Atum.."

"You don't have to correct it every time. As long as you think it's more convenient."

“... Yes, got it."

It was Atum, who had returned from the underworld (though he wouldn't tell me how) and had gone to the same high school as me

After no longer sharing the same body, it seems more realistic. He's not my other personality, he's a different human being

She has slender purple eyes that embody her strong will, a face with clear facial features, and is taller than me

"Why don't you go back? ？”

Open the purple umbrella and prop it up to the sky

It's a bit strange for the two boys to hold an umbrella together, but if it's with another me, I don't know if it's because there's no sense of disobedience or something, and I don't feel resistant

Or should I say happy. Recently, he couldn't go back together because he was busy

"Go back!"

Quickly stand next to him, the big umbrella doesn't let the other shoulder be exposed

His shoulders touched mine, but he didn't seem to mind at all

"Let's go"

"Yes"

We walked home side by side

＊＊＊

Walk on the rainy night path. Slowly avoid the pond on the road

"Really... Have you been asked to miscellaneous?"

"yes! That's why it's so late!"

I talked to him on the way. The speed of walking is slow, the speed at which the water does not pick up

"Still, that's great. You happened to stay in school and were saved!"

So he didn't have to go home wet, and he smiled and said, "It's my partner's luck."

He smiled more than he had before
