The quiet night is dark, the moon is low-eyebrowed, and the wind is singing and the flowers are raining. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Green silk, white-haired, obsessed to the point of ecstasy.

Looking back on the past, Sansa chuckled cutely.

Sigh tonight, the soft voice fades away.

――――――――――――――――

Mei Hongdu sat on the soft tatami mat.

The room with the doors and windows closed was silent, and she was the only one who sat silently.

Her mother, Murasaki, and Kaguya were all invited out by her, because she didn't need anyone to take care of her anymore - she needed a quiet, hers-only world more than her.

The girl looked at the flickering candle flame in fascination. The dark pupils were dyed a dark red, but they did not become lively, but were filled with the smell of dead silence like corpses in the crematorium.

Although she sat in front of the candle flame, and although there were flickering, heat-emitting tongues of fire in front of her, she could no longer perceive the warmth.

She couldn't even sense the cold—she couldn't feel the relentless chill of late autumn.

In this small room, grief makes everything seem distant, and makes her petite and lonely figure even more lonely.

Not long ago, Meihong cried, screamed, and trembled...... But none of these acts of sorrow could move the cruel Heaven, and she finally understood that, no matter how much she longed, her teacher, the kind and lovely man, was truly dead.

Fujiwara sister red, she finally recognized this reality. However, this lively and upright girl can no longer show her courage and strength. In the trance, along with the memories of the past, there is despair that swallows everything up.

Despair wiped tears from the corners of her eyes and choked her crying throat, turning her heart into an invisible chaos.

The black hair is like a dead pool of water, and it can no longer set off soft waves; The pale skin is like the ice of the Arctic, and it can no longer feel the temperature of love.

"Dead...... It's dead......" Mei Hong's mouth made a mechanical monotonous sound, "Didn't you say that?" The teacher can't get hurt, so why would he die? Oh, yes...... He's dead...... He's dead...... You're dead. ”

This unconscious murmur has been repeated intermittently several times, but this time it is different, and Mei Hong finally woke up from the state of loss of her soul in her own whispers.

Just like everyone who is about to die, Mei Hong's heart who is about to die has also ushered in its "return to light", and all the vitality seems to instantly fill Mei Hong's body, making all her senses acute to the extreme.

"Click...... Click...... Tick ......"

Meihong heard the scattered sound of rain outside the house.

"Crackle...... Snap ......"

Mei Hong heard the faint crackling sound of sparks.

Her eyes saw the dust that had been precipitated by the delicate grain, and the faint shadows of the leaves that had been printed on the paper windows by the moonlight.

"Ah...... The leaves have fallen......" Mei Hong sighed softly, in clear thoughts, she thought of the sadness in her heart, and then a question arose, "The leaves will fall and wither, the flowers will wither and wither, the beasts will not escape aging and dying, and the birds will eventually break their wings for the rest of the year." Well, death is unavoidable, but doesn't that reflect the preciousness of life? So, man! What right does a small person have to deprive another good life? ”

"Teacher, you haven't hurt anyone, you haven't done anything wrong, so why does fate treat you like this? Why can't I share more time with you? Yes, yes, it is precisely because there is no reason, it is precisely because there is no reason that I miss you so much! ”

Mei Hong began to cry bitterly again, tears the size of Beans dripping down her smooth face, but she couldn't extinguish the fragile candle flame.

It kept flickering, and the orange fire burned even brighter.

"Teacher, teacher, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm too weak, I'm too weak...... It's me who is too weak! ”

―――――――――― outside the house――――――――

The night was dark and the rain was sparse.

Kaguya and Purple stood under the eaves outside the red house, looking at everything covered in light smoke in front of them.

"It's really rare that you didn't put on that nasty smile, Purple!" Looking intently at the ink-soaked buildings and vegetation, Kaguya said lightly and in an emotionless tone.

"Really? No matter how hard I try, I can't laugh at a time like this......" Purple also looked at the trance world and responded in the same tone.

"Have you appeased Mei Hong's mother?" After a moment of silence, Kaguya asked again.

"Ah...... The poor woman had fallen asleep, and I have to say that her fate was really sad......" Shaking the folding fan in her hand, Zi said.

"yes...... But what a kind and great mother! Kaguya sighed softly, silent for a while, and she continued, "Purple, I'm a little worried about Mei Hong's current state......

"I'm worried, too, but it's better not to disturb her now, she needs enough quiet to ponder."

"Really? But you must have seen the look on her face when she drove us out, and the smile she had worked so hard to squeeze out—not even a smile anymore—meant that she couldn't even force a smile now! ”

"But she still needs to be quiet, she needs to be quiet, Kaguya, I've had this experience, I've experienced that feeling...... So I understand what it's like to have the death of your most important loved one. Purple's tone was full of unquestionableness, but Kaguya could hear the sadness buried beneath the blandness.

"Is it the father?" Kaguya asked at Purple's words.

"yes...... It's my brother...... He just left me behind! Leaving me, who was still young, alone in that terrible chaotic world......"

"Then do you resent him?"

"Resentment, how can there be resentment? At that time, my brother used his life to exchange my life for a chance to live, his last back has always been firmly remembered in my heart, his love, even death can not be extinguished, has always supported me, has always supported me to live. Purple glanced at Kaguya, "Now, Kaguya...... Because his brother has experienced loneliness, loneliness and ruthless pain, he will treat others very gently and kindly. ”

"I know......" nodded, and Kaguya looked at Purple as well, "So, what do you want to say, Purple?" ”

"He cherishes you and his affection so much! So...... I hope you don't betray him, don't let him experience that cruel hurt. Looking directly into Kaguya's eyes, Purple said seriously and seriously.

"I don't need to say it, I'll do the same, Purple! You see, he's my father! Looking directly into Purple's eyes with the same determination, Kaguya also said seriously.

"Really...... That's it! ”

As Purple nodded her head slightly, there was a sudden sound of the door opening behind her.

The two hurriedly turned their heads, and what appeared in their eyes was a girl who looked a little petite in the firelight.

"Sister Hong...... Your hair...... Your hair is gray! Looking at the girl who appeared in the field of vision, Kaguya exclaimed in surprise.

"yes, it's turned white before you know it!" replied lightly.

On the girl's face, a strong smile naturally appeared.
