Chapter 61: Good night, Ami
"How? Are you still moving? "Hirori came straight up to me and held out her right hand to me like a prince in a fairy tale who invites a princess to dance. I gently put my hand on it. "Hmm"
After hearing my whispered reply, the corners of her mouth under Hakurei's mask curled slightly. With a little force, he pulled me into his arms, who were sitting on the ground. Then he also picked up Ami next to him and led us to the inside and outside of the world. The villagers who had just surrounded me seemed to be very scared of Borei, and everyone looked like they were hell, and it was clear that Boli had been protecting them. It's annoying, these ignorant people.
Hakurei was a little surprised by this, all the monsters present watched us leave step by step, did not step forward to stop us, even Yakumo Zi did not say a word, I am like a little bird, I will always snuggle up in the blue sky called Borei's arm to fly, even if sometimes sneak out to play, after being injured, this place will tolerate me and protect me regardless of previous suspicions.
The slender left hand that Boli put around my shoulder was so powerful, so secure, like a poppy who can't help but like and fall in love with it just by feeling it once. It feels so good to be protected.
We didn't say a word on the way, but the atmosphere was not awkward, but it was a little warm, like an old husband and wife walking on the street at dusk. When I returned to the shrine again, it was already dark, and Reimu was angry with my last departure, sitting on the ground far away from me and staring at me.
It just so happened that I was happy and quiet.
put Ami on the tatami mat and took off the dirty kimono for her, and brought a basin of water to carefully wipe Ami's white and bumpy body little by little. Although Ami's body was already cold and a little terrible at this time, I could feel the warmth that once belonged to Ami.
"Ahhh~?" Reimu, who couldn't sit still, crawled over and tilted her head to look at me and Ami, in her opinion, it was very strange why Ami was lying here motionless, very strange why she needed me to help clean herself even though she was an adult, very strange why this beautiful big sister called Ami didn't come to hug herself like in the past, very strange that I had been crying for a whole day, but I once again left two lines of tears like a fountain.
Tears couldn't stop falling on Ami's body, and I wiped it off with a towel every drop that fell, but soon I realized that this behavior didn't make any sense, and the liquid that slipped from my face wet the towel and the bedding under Ami's body, and even more wet the mood that had just gotten better.
"Ahh Ahh Reimu stumbled up next to me and pulled at the corner of my coat, it seemed that the little guy was scared by me. I hugged Reimu hard in my arms to find comfort, I knew it was absolutely uncomfortable to be held like this, but Reimu didn't resist at all, let me vent my inner emotions like this, Reimu's mouth seemed to be muttering something, she couldn't speak yet, I put my ear over and soon I could hear what she meant, it was a lullaby, the one I would hum to her every night with Hakurei.

Holding Reimu I wept bitterly,

Tears poured out like a breach in a dam that burst its banks
likeflowersthatblossomjustonceinyears
I cried like a child, very fiercely and very noisy, much worse than during the day.

"Huh? It's so cute! My name is Ami Barnyard Field, and what about you! What's your name? β
This was the first sentence we talked about

The thin figure of her sitting at her desk and writing seriously that day is still vivid in my mind

What is Ami's fate? I don't know, and I don't want to know.

Ami, if there is an afterlife, please ask me to accompany you everywhere to record some interesting and dangerous things.
His eyes were already red and swollen from crying, and his voice was slowly hoarse, but his heart was slowly becoming more comfortable. I don't know how long it took for Reimu to fall asleep in my arms when I came back to my senses, and lovingly pinched her fleshy little face with tear stains, and then put it in the quilt to cover the corners of the quilt. The same covers Ami with a quilt.
I wiped my face and went to the courtyard of the shrine, where the red and white figure was looking at the moon in the moonlight with a cup of hot tea, and a steaming cup was placed next to it.
"Bori," I called out to her softly. "Let's have a cup of tea," Bori patted the seat next to her, and invited me. "Hmm," I sat down beside Boli indifferently, picked up the bitter tea in my hand, and tasted it without taking a sip.
"If you still feel like crying, just lean over," Bori patted himself on the shoulder.
"You're a step too late~"
"Eh~ That's a pity" The conversation stopped here, and I tilted my head and leaned on Bori's shoulder, a little tired.
"Didn't you say that you cried enough~" "I won't cry, just rely on it" If you can, I really hope that everything today is a dream. "Hakurei, let's bury Ami," I said, because I was going to look directly at Ami's death without any fairy-tale fantasies. The prince's kiss to wake up the sleeping princess can only be staged in fairy tales, although this is Gensokyo, but this kind of whimsical development is still impossible~
Hirori stayed with me in the courtyard for the whole night, and it wasn't until the sun just rose that she helped me dress Ami and put her in the coffin that I didn't know when it was ready. Ami's funeral was very simple and simple to say a little shabby, there were no people with all kinds of fake compassion of filial piety, and there was no table full of delicacies, some were just a pair of large and small witches, and there was a short-haired girl with high swollen eyes.
We buried Ami under the cherry blossom tree behind the shrine, and here you can see the whole Gensokyo, which Ami must have liked very much. I took the shovel from Bori's hand and began to bury it little by little, my hands were shaking, they were resisting, resisting my behavior of burying my friends, but the aura of reason surrounded me, and it was good to do childish things only once.
Ami, my dear friend, good night. And I wish you a good dream.
