The next time I heard from that person was a month after the pain faded. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The New Year is approaching, there are many things going on at the shrine, and Sanae Toshiya is busy entertaining many, many guests every day. She had heard that the two had returned to Gensokyo in the morning, but she hadn't put down her work at the shrine to see the man.

It was [those two people] who returned to Gensokyo. She heard it clearly.

The lazy feeling in her heart shivered as if she had been poked by a barb, and Sanae Higashiya still smiled at the guests who visited at the end of the year, but she still cared a little about it.

"Sanae."

It was Yasaka Kanako who stopped her like this, and she was one of the gods she served. Sanae Toshiya turned around with a smile and bowed softly to Kanako Yasaka. Now that the visitors are around, at least show respect for the gods.

"Kanako-sama."

Kanako nodded noncommittally and looked at Sanae Kazuya Valley.

"Aren't you going?"

"No, the work here is important."

Sanae shook her head slightly. Kanako Yasaka looked at her, and then shook her head as well.

"Sanae, put your day off. Anyway, let's check it out. ”

“…… Is this an order? ”

Sanae didn't expect Kanako to say this, she didn't want to break her current sense of peace, she could imagine that as long as she saw that person with her own eyes, maybe this sense of tranquility would melt away, and Sanae would become Sanae Higashitani again, and then shed tears because of her deep wounds.

It's almost like instinctively perceiving danger.

Kanako saw what she was thinking from her face, closed her eyes and sighed.

"Not an order. But do you think it's really good to keep pretending that God didn't happen? ”

Then she smiled and spoke aloud to the worshippers who were standing with their heads bowed and respectfully waiting for them to finish their conversation.

"I'm sorry.,There's some personal matters to deal with at the shrine's wind today.。 However, Suwa Okami and I will continue to hear your prayers in the main hall, and if you want to pray and worship, you can come to the main hall! ”

This sentence finally prompted Sanae in the East Wind Valley. Seeing her intentions, Kanako leaned closer to her ear.

"Whatever the outcome, Suwako and I are at home waiting for you to come back. You will never be without a home. ”

The words just now touched the barb in Sanae's heart, and this sentence gave her the courage to make up her mind. So half an hour later, the blue-haired girl who had changed into an ordinary winter dress walked on the way to the Enchanted Forest.

Sanae Higashiya did not fly. She just walked slowly, her boots creaking slightly in the snow from the fluffy layers of snow being stepped on. Sanae of Togashiya slowly turned her mind as she walked.

The person she wants to meet is called Yutong Shiai.

A monster, a person who shines brighter than anyone else, but also more than anyone else. A person who can call his sister with a smile, a person who is so gentle that he can't refuse. A person who will raise his hand and slap himself and then put his coat over himself.

The girl who raised her head looked at the snowflakes falling gently from the sky. This snow and this longing are also piling up little by little in my heart today, bringing my memories back to the days when the snow was also flying. It seemed that the separation between her and him was always in such a snowy season, and as long as the snowflakes were scattered, she would think of him alone.

The firmness of the agreement together, the quarrels that once tried hard, the dreams and expectations that have been inherited, and the memories that have become so large at some point have tightly tied Sanae in the east wind valley, but it is a broken rope on the side of Yutong Shiai. This person doesn't belong to her after all.

Sanae Kazuya knew what her family's god was for, and she wanted to see that person like this. It is impossible to be willing, and it is impossible for Sanae in Dongfeng Valley to be willing. But this kind of unwillingness is unnecessary for the wind to wish the wind Dongfeng Valley Sanae, blindly self-deception and self-numbness, hoping for time to make the memory fade, hoping to spend that day after day like this, such behavior is impossible, the pain will still exist, and the East Wind Valley Sanae is still full of unwillingness.

[If I express it to you while I am still in the outside world, will everything be different? 】

She thought about it, and still thinks it from time to time, and she realized that her heart had been stirred by the barb, and that this unwillingness had reached such a depth that she felt numb because of it.

"Haaa......"

Sanae sighed softly, and the white air flow spread out in the air from in front of her eyes. She couldn't clearly distinguish the same white snow and air currents, she knew that if she reached out and felt it, she could tell the difference between cold and warm, but the warmth was only temporary, and then the cold in the air would still take the warmth from her hands.

It's as if his warmth will be forgotten little by little from his heart, like this breath of air from his chest, turning into nothingness in the air, leaving nothing, as if it never existed.

But where in the world can there be such a simple thing. Sanae Togaya has also tasted the taste of not being able to see him once, and since Tokyo, a city where the two of them met, they can no longer find traces of this young man, and the heavy sense of frustration Sanae Toshiya remembers it vividly.

She was terrified of her heart, which was reviving little by little. Sanae of Toshiya hadn't seen that person yet, she just remembered her past with him, just thinking about those fragmentary but precious memories, and the peace she had managed to maintain was broken. She is going to turn back into Sanae Dongfenggu again, she is going to be an ordinary Sanae Dongfengya who is thinking about that teenager again instead of Sanae Fengzhu Dongfang, she has to pick up the heaviness of memories and emotions again, but she can't shed tears.

This is Sanae in the East Wind Valley...... This is her lost love affair......

She murmured as if she had just recognized herself. This murmur was also blown away by the wind, and she could only breed in her heart with an emotion that she didn't know how to express, and then walked into the enchanted forest that the wind and snow could not invade.

She didn't go to the World Tower, and she could vaguely feel that if the two people came back, it must be in Miss Alice's mansion. This kind of speculation made her a little uncomfortable, but she did feel so, the words of those two people.

The distance in the middle is not long, but it is not short, so that Sanae of Dongfeng Valley didn't even think about what it would be like to see those two people, she had already seen the mansion. The mansion was nestled in the forest, like a fairy tale hut where dwarfs could hide Her Royal Highness from the murderous queen. The Western-style pavilion is now covered in a layer of white snow, and the roof chimney emits a slight smoke, making it look like a fairytale igloo.

If it weren't for the fact that it was the young lady's residence, maybe Sanae Dongdongya would really like such a building. The cottage under the snow really has a beautiful association with Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

Sanae of Dongfeng Valley hesitated for a moment, and then walked towards the Western-style pavilion, and before she could step on the steps in front of the door, the door creaked open. Sanae couldn't help but stop and look at the door.

Is it him or her? If it is what he wants to say in the first sentence, what will he do in response, what will he say to himself; If it was her, how would she treat herself, and would she continue to maintain the enviable nobility she had always had.

Sanae Dongfang felt that all the thoughts that had been suppressed before suddenly exploded at this moment, and these problems seemed to have been lurking in his mind for a long time, constantly accumulating, qualitatively changing, until now they are gushing out like a spring, difficult to suppress, difficult to bear.

She stared closely at the door that opened a little, and behind that door, the person who gradually revealed was less than a meter tall.

Hey!?

Sanae Kazuya froze there, watching a little clumsily push the door open, and then blinking at her girl with a pair of bright yellow eyes. The girl was dressed in warm-looking clothes and black gloves on her hands, and her clean, bright eyes circled the girl's body and then fixed on Dongfenggu's face.

"Are you Sanae of Dongfeng Valley?"

Sanae of Dongfenggu was a little strange that this girl knew herself, and nodded as a response. She didn't have this girl in her memory, and this girl appeared in this mansion, she couldn't help frowning.

"Hello, you are ......"

This pause was not ushered in by the other party's self-introduction after understanding, but she pushed the door open with a slightly complicated smile, and then walked out.

"Please come in, Miss Dongfenggu."

“…… No, before that, who are you? ”

Sanae didn't just go in like that, but continued her inquiry. The petite teenage girl scratched her pale brown single ponytail with some annoyance.

"Why don't you go in first? Well, forget it, so I'll introduce myself first, although it's better to say that I didn't say it myself. En'...... That is true. ”

The girl who said this gently took off the thin black glove of her right hand, and Sanae Toshiya was surprised to see that the joints on her hands were so obvious, like a doll.

"Introduce myself, I'm the child of Alice's mother and Yutong Shiai's father, one of the upright human forms, and the curious Bai Hee-hee. Miss Dongfeng Valley just calls me Bai Xi. ”

Sanae's eyes froze for a moment.

…… Child?

Although he had already predicted how those two people would develop, when he really faced it head-on, when he really put all this in front of him, Sanae of Dongfeng Valley still had a storm in his heart. Sanae Kazuya can't be truly absolutely calm, the self-paralyzing bland freehand that she disguised before is just self-deception after all, the person who constantly exudes light and heat in her life, the person she has deep feelings for, and the offspring of her biggest rival, the most terrible moat that she used to reject herself, but was so easily cracked by the blonde girl who was superior in appearance and ability to herself.

Dolls.

It was a puppet, not a flesh and blood creature. But this is also an answer, at least Alice gave the answer, not the East Wind Valley, which can't crack it all.

Feeling even colder, Dongfeng Gu couldn't help but clench his arms gently. At this time, another puppet girl came out of the house. This girl is slightly taller than Bai Hee-hee, but not more than a meter. Her long white hair was scattered, with black wings on her back, and she was wearing no clothes, and her black leather covered most of her skin, which contrasted sharply with the white skin of her waist, abdomen and arms. It's not so much a doll as a monster doll.

Although it is said that the doll should not be afraid of the cold, but just looking at her defenseless, Sanae Dongfengu feels even colder.

The red-eyed puppet looked at Sanae in Dongfeng Valley, and then at Bai Hee-hee on the side.

"Bai Xi, didn't you say that you would introduce it together. Forget it, let me do it. ”

The puppet's voice was as quiet as a puddle of water, and she bowed lightly to Sanae in the valley of the east wind.

"I'm sorry, Miss Dongfangu, I didn't explain anything more to you, but the person you want to meet is here. They're ready, are you ready? ”

Sanae Kazuya looked at the inorganic substance in the puppet's eyes without a trace of emotion, and knew that what she said was the truth. The people she wanted to see had indeed become two people. Sanae felt that she was not the Snow White who broke into the house of the Seven Dwarfs in the snow to seek refuge, but the queen who broke into the door after the prince woke her up with a kiss.

Sanae of Dongfeng Valley was silent for a moment, then turned around.

That's enough.

Knowing that after the two of them are together, this is enough.

After that, it just has to be as plain as the other day...... No, not anymore. But it doesn't matter, it really doesn't matter, as long as you remember the palm of that person, as long as you recall the warmth on his coat, just rely on these memories, maybe you can live.

Just relying on the body temperature he gave, one day the snow will melt away, and this thought will melt and disappear as well. It's just that I don't know how long it will take and how many times I will repeat the winter before this emotion will be forgotten, and Sanae Dongdongya doesn't even have the courage to think about it. But if Sanae Dongfang was to look at those two people now, she really didn't have the courage to do so.

The bravery of the past is not worth mentioning, and the strength of the past is vulnerable.

Sanae Dongya feels that everyone will become weak under love, become a person completely different from herself, her unwavering steadfastness has become hesitation, and her own never giving up has become the painful wandering she is now. She thought that Miss Alice, who had always been like a friend by Yutong Shiai's side, must have been so painful, but she got what she was waiting for, and all the pain and all the burdens were finally called the nourishment of happiness, and it was precisely because of these pains that the flowers she longed for became more and more gorgeous.

But Sanae Higashiya didn't get what she was hoping for. She is just a loser, and the pain and unwillingness in her arms will only reap the defeat of a land even if she throws it into the land, and even weeds cannot grow.

The early seedlings of the East Wind Valley walked quickly into the woods. She remembered that rainy night, and she also remembered the vows on the Ferris wheel, the peers who went back to the hospital under the stars.

I think about it too much and I always feel a little scared. Sanae of the East Wind Valley was afraid, not only afraid of the constant pain and torture of these memories, but also afraid that these things would not know if they would melt and melt with the arrival of spring. She didn't want to forget, and she couldn't bear to put them back in her mind.

She was almost ready to run between the forests, but before she could speed up her pace, she was grabbed by the hand.

The warm body temperature and soft strength of that hand made her feel that it was the man's hand, and she felt as if she had been sown a seed on that wasted soil. But she was pulled into shape, and when she turned around, she saw the girl with short blond hair. It wasn't him who grabbed her, and Sanae Dongdongya couldn't help but feel lost in her heart.

“…… Alice ...... Sister. ”

She gritted her teeth before she suppressed the tremor in her voice.

"Well, it's me, Dongfeng Valley."

Alice didn't call her by name, she let go of Sanae Dongfengya's hand, and then stood still. Sanae saw the slight guilt on Alice's face, and also saw the person who chased after her, in fact, the person she wanted to see the most.

He stood three meters away from the two of them, and like Alice, he had an apologetic look on his face. Sanae's gaze rolled back and forth between the two of them, and she suddenly noticed how similar the expressions on the faces of the two people were now, both of them were so apologetic, with guilt for Sanae Dongfang's debt. The two of them are like a family, standing on the same side, and as the same person, they apologize to Sanae Higashitani.

More than anything else, Sanae of the East Wind Valley was swayed by this.

The two men were already so close. Yutong Shiai is His Royal Highness the Prince, and Miss Alice is Snow White. They went back to their country together, they hugged each other happily, they smiled the same, they saw Sanae of the East Wind Valley standing beyond the border together—and then they looked guilty together, and the look was so similar because it was the country of the two of them.

Once you have delineated the country, there will be no place for Sanae in the East Wind Valley.

Sanae of Dongfeng Valley smiled, laughing a little crisply, but also a little depressed.

"What, do you want to talk to me about something?"

Alice's eyes looked at Sanae in the valley of the east wind. Alice is also a person who loves the same person as Sanae in the East Wind Valley, and she also knows how the hopelessness of love is under pressure, and that pressure is still unbearable even if Alice who knows her now, so she responds to him in such a panic when the boy is half kneeling in front of her.

She didn't dare to say that she could really understand Sanae Dongdonggu, but Yutong Shiai chose her, so she wanted to stand in front of Dongfang Sanae for Yutong Shiai's choice, at least she had to be worthy of the choice made by the person she loved. This is not only Alice as Yutong Ten Love, but also as a loser of love who has also suffered from it.

“…… I'm not going to say anything that comes first and I don't say anything unruly. Dongfeng Valley, I'm sorry, I didn't lie to you before, I really didn't have a relationship with Shiai at the time, and I was just looking forward to his confession. But I did have been waiting for Ten Love, and I don't think this relationship is lost to anyone, whether it's you or Yakumo Murasaki, I feel more fiery than anyone else. ”

"Is that what you want to say?"

Sanae shook her head and looked at the girl in front of her in disbelief.

It's too much. The country of these two people is now repenting to herself, and she apologizes to her in embarrassment, saying that her country has not been able to accommodate Sanae in the East Wind Valley, which is really sorry. This feeling made Sanae's stomach burn for a while, and she forced a smile to hold back her tears.

"That's it, I'll go back."

Seeing that she was leaving, Yutong Shiai spoke softly.

"Early ......"

"Ten loves, don't talk!"

Alice looked back at him earnestly, her eyes filled with determination.

"Let me talk to Dongfeng Valley. I had to make it clear to her. ”

Yutong Shiai was speechless, and could only continue to confront Alice and Sanae in Dongfeng Valley. Sanae seemed to feel cold, and her hands clenched her arms again.

"Miss Alice, what else do you want to say?"

Sanae pursed her lips. She didn't know why she was angry with Alice like this, because Alice had always been her target and opponent before, but now because she had defeated herself, she was like a loser and cursed and resented the winner.

But the unwillingness to be aroused by the other party in my heart is so disgusting. Sanae Kazuya's own rationality reminded her that this was wrong, but in the face of the waves of her heart, her resistance was so weak.

"I just want to be honest with Dongfeng Valley about my heart, my heart for the Ten Loves. I'm sorry, I've been hiding it from him and you, and I should have competed openly. So I want to apologize to Dongfeng Valley anyway, I'm sorry, but I won't give up Ten Love because of this, he is already mine. ”

Alice exhaled slowly. This air flow is also like what Sanae in the east wind valley saw, a little by little it is diffused in the air, and it is lost in the world with the wind. But the words after this will be imprinted in the memories of the three people present and the seven puppets who came with them.

"I'm guilty of you, Sanae Higashiya. But I will not retreat from what I have occupied, which is mine and always will be, from body to soul. I'm also his, from the past to the future. I'm ashamed of you, but I can't make any amends. ”

Sanae of Dongdongya lowered her brows, her emerald green bangs obscuring the look in her eyes, and she shook her head.

"Actually, since the first time we met, I had a lot of thoughts on Miss Alice."

The tide in her heart continued to stir up the whirlpool, but she noticed that her tone was calmer than she had imagined, and it could even be said that it was like an ancient well that had no fluctuations at all.

Sanae raised her head slightly and looked at the two of them. They stand in their country, which is as warm as spring, the snow melts, and in the near future, they will be able to usher in the spring when the cherry blossoms are flying, they will be able to bathe in the spring breeze, they will be able to hug each other, they will be able to sing, and they will be able to run on the field. Now they are standing on the border, feeling guilty at Sanae in the East Wind Valley, looking at themselves who are still standing in the cold winter.

The Sanae of the East Wind Valley could not enter their realm, and the Sanae of the East Wind Valley could only walk alone in the harsh winter. She looked at Yutong Shiai, this person is the same, although he treats his feelings not as he desires, but he also loves himself deeply, but it is just another kind of love.

She really wanted to stand in the cold winter like this, and she really wanted to make these two people so close to her, and the three of them stood in front of the border, as if they could touch each other as soon as they stretched out their hands. In this way, it seems that everything does not have to be decided, as if time will stop here, even if it is three people, not two people Sanae and Yutong Shiai, she can get at least some comfort.

But in this case, maybe spring will never arrive.

Sanae of Dongfengya knew that the two of them would not be able to leave themselves. They were so similar, the same guilt, the same looks, the same frowns, and even the cruel mercy that was now so similar. They will stand here and wait for themselves.

Sanae Kazuya had her last breath of warmth with her body temperature dissipating into the air, and she felt like she was laughing now.

"I've always had longing and fear for Miss Alice. Miss Alice is so beautiful, too good, and always by Ten Love's side, I always wonder if I will be ignored by him like this. Therefore, when I knew that I was still under the watchful eye of the Ten Loves, I mustered up the courage to become a good person like Miss Alice. Maybe I can learn from Miss Alice's grace and calmness, and I can stay by the side of Ten Love, I thought at the time. ”

“…… I'm not that good. ”

Alice looked away slightly, Sanae had something in her eyes that she couldn't understand, she could vaguely feel the outline of the emotion, but she couldn't figure out what it was. She is also a person who easily yearns for others, yearns for her mother, yearns for Pachouli, and yearns for Sanae Toshiya to be brave and straightforward to the point where she is caught off guard.

"I've also thought about it, Dongfeng Valley, I also used to envy your courage and persistence."

"Yes. So I can have something that makes Miss Alice envious......"

Sanae of Dongfengya grinned softly, the smile on her face was a little reluctant, but she was very persistent.

"But that's not to say for now, Miss Alice."

Sanae reached out and shook Alice's hand. Alice obviously didn't expect Sanae to do this suddenly, and she looked at Sanae in surprise, just in time to meet Sanae's gaze. She looked in amazement at the beautiful and aura girl's eyes that were so clean that they made people feel sad.

She took her deep and hopeless love in it and looked at Alice.

"Laugh, Miss Alice. Please put on the posture of a winner, please show me the side I want, please ...... Happiness. ”

Sanae's hand was slightly harder, but she didn't tremble at all, and her smile was like a small flower blooming in the cold winter, with a weak and unwilling color under the ice and snow.

"I'm a loser, Miss Alice. So at least keep what I envisioned, and let me see that I was at least defeated by such a good, the best and most beautiful Miss Alice in the world, otherwise how could I soothe this depression in my heart, right? ”

So Sanae of the East Wind Valley stood in front of the border like this, and said to these two people, let's go, go forward to your spring day. Please let me see your piece of spring.

Sanae of Dongfeng Valley thinks so, she is so hopeful, if she no longer yearns for this country alone, if she returns to this wind and snow alone, then there will only be one person in the cold winter.

They will be happy.

Sanae Kazuya's gaze crossed to Alice and looked at Yuki Shiai, who was silently looking at her. Yutong Shiai didn't speak, it was Alice who was talking all the time, obviously Alice in the spirit of "has been chosen by him, then at least responsible for his choice" mentality hopes that Yutong Shiai will leave everything to her to deal with. However, Sanae Dongshiya still wants to say her love to Yutong Shiai.

It's like Alice.

"Be happy, ten loves."

Yutong Shiai had a complicated guilt on her face.

"I'm sorry, Sanae."

"Why do you want to say this now, besides, it's not a big deal, it's just that the people I like don't like me."

Sanae of Dongfengya gently let go of Alice's hand and let go of the girl who was about to go to the warm spring. She took two steps back, closed her eyes, and took a deep breath of cold air. The air entered her lungs, and she could feel her body temperature and then warm the air in her lungs, just as Yuki Shiai had once warmed her.

Then she slowly exhaled the air from her lungs, half-open eyes as the hard-earned warmth turned into mist and diffused in the cold wind.

"Well, it's just that the person I like doesn't like me."

Her voice was slightly hoarse, and then she shook her head.

"Are you planning a wedding?"

She bothered and looked at Alice with a smile. Alice pursed her lips, nodded, and then smiled softly.

"Yes. Just next March. ”

"Next March, ......"

Sanae Tokoya looked at the beautiful smile on Alice's face. Yes, all she wanted to see was a smile like this, full of warmth like the cherry blossoms brought by March, with the best things in the world, as if the happiness of the whole world was full of this girl at this moment.

They are happy.

As long as you think about it like this, it seems that the unwillingness in your heart will be soothed. Just look at their smiles like this, it's like everything can be forgiven by yourself. As long as Sanae of the East Wind Valley gives up like this.

If three people continue to be unhappy, it is better for two people to work hard to be happy.

Sanae Kazuya knew that she was in love with Yutong Shiai, and she was just as Alice said, both of them thought that their feelings were not lost to each other. So, if Yutong Ten Ai thinks so, then that's fine. Sanae Higashiya is also willing to look at their happiest side and is willing to fight for happiness for him in this way.

"That couldn't be better, Miss Alice. Bless you. So, I won't bother today, I'll go on the wedding day, please be sure to let me take a good look at what you show to live up to my happiness. ”

Sanae of Dongfeng Valley smiled, and the tears in the corners of her eyes still oozed a little.

"Well, then, I take my leave, Miss Alice, and ten loves."

Then the girl turned around, without the slightest nostalgia, as if the frozen self in her heart and fell in the snow was not herself, and as if she did not know that she was far away from the happiness that might happen once in a lifetime.

There is no place for her in his kingdom.
