Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Black Forest

"Am I going to the place? There was only a small stone platform about five meters from the mountain wall...... "Maybe it was a matter of interest, and Makoto naturally answered for Fujino Sakura, but halfway through, he recalled what happened to the person he met before. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Makoto's face sank, his eyes unconsciously became cold, and the air instantly froze.

"Hmmm~~" It should just be a natural reaction, and Fujino Sakura, who was staring at Makoto, shrank her whole body away from Makoto's sight.

Seeing this scene, Makoto's eyes couldn't help but shrink, and he immediately closed his eyes.

(Really, what the hell am I doing?) )

"I'm sorry, Sakura! Makes you scared! ”

With his eyes closed, Makoto bowed his head slightly. Although this is rude, there is no way to do it!

Because Makoto felt that his eyes seemed to be even colder!

I thought I was relieved! After all, can't you let go of it?

Hatred, resentment, and murderous intent, the aura of violence permeated Makoto's entire heart imperceptibly, and anger enveloped his whole body, perhaps the next moment Makoto would lose his mind and let himself vent the anger that had accumulated for a long time.

But it's not the past! Now he is not the same as he used to be!

Now there is someone else around him, and that person's name is - Kiyoura Sena.

Makoto is no longer a person, he is no longer a person!

Perhaps sensing Makoto's changes, he leaned his head on Makoto's shoulder at the right moment, holding Makoto's cold right hand tightly with both hands, silently warming and supporting him.

Surrounded by his hands in an instant, Cheng's right hand warmed up after a while. The warmth crept up the arms to the armpits, penetrated through the collarbones and spread throughout the atrium, and then the blood flowing down the heart throughout the body.

"It's really nice to have you by my side!"

Feeling the warmth of the whole body, looking at the eyes that were silently concerned at this moment, Makoto smiled with joy and happiness.

And I don't know if it's impulsive, or impromptu, Makoto kissed it so naturally. Not the forehead, not the face, but the petite lips that opened and closed slightly.

He may have gone mad, or he might have been stupid, but he did! At a time when everyone was not at all mentally prepared, Makoto suddenly took the initiative to kiss the moment without any scruples.

In retrospect, this proves that he really likes her!

It's not the same anymore......

But Makoto didn't take into account the mood of the words, and even Makoto at that time might have forgotten their existence, and didn't think about the consequences of doing so, so it was a moment of impulsiveness.

-- It is an irresponsible and selfish expression.

"Not now!"

Before causing irreparable results, Moment told Makoto what she wanted to convey with her eyes in an instant, and then quickly got up and left Makoto's shoulder, bowing her head and drinking her drink with a blushing face.

In this way, what should have been an affectionate kiss has become a passionate eye contact, although it is still very impactful, but it does not leave any trauma that cannot be ignored!

And after a momentary reminder, Cheng regained his senses in a hurry, and understood the stakes between him, although Cheng still did not regret it, but he was also deeply afraid of it. Makoto is not afraid that Yan Ye and them will suddenly say "I don't like you anymore", nor is he afraid that they will hate him, but he is afraid that they will be sad, especially because of themselves.

――That would overwhelm Makoto.

After sobering up, Makoto showed a slightly embarrassed smile, took out his mobile phone from his pocket and looked at the time, he turned his head to look at the mountain road in the north, and changed the topic: "It's almost twelve o'clock, why haven't Taisuke and Xiaoguang come back yet?"

"I'm going to call......" The world hurriedly covered her mouth in the middle of speaking, and she remembered that there was no signal in the foggy mountains.

"Wait! After 12 o'clock, if anyone hasn't arrived yet, let's have lunch! If they haven't come back after eating, it's probably an accident, so let's look for it together! Makoto thought about it, but he didn't have a clue.

Although Makoto has known for a long time that Hikaru likes Taisuke, it's just that she hasn't confessed to Taisuke, and Taisuke hasn't known about it all along. And this time back to the foggy mountain, Taisuke has long been full of expectations, and he also said to Makoto meaningfully that he would go to the black forest with Xiaoguang.

The Black Forest, a strange place at the end of the mountain road to the north, is a dense black forest growing there. The black tree has branches and leaves that have never been seen before, and it is a dense forest of strange trees that are all black. The area is not large or small, at least Makoto has not been able to visit every part of that dense forest.

The reason is simple, because it is unlikely in theory or in practice. Although Makoto has developed a pair of eyes that can see even in the dark because of his years of acting in the dark, even then he can only walk slowly inside the Black Forest, which takes a lot of time to explore the entire dense forest.

Although it can be done with a certain amount of energy and time, it is impossible for Makoto to spend so much energy and time for a strange place that only has the three characteristics of "black, dark, and secluded".

Because of the dense black strange trees, the black and dark characteristics of the black forest make the inside of the dense forest a strange place where "you can't see your fingers, and you can't see the light". The inner darkness constructed through darkness and darkness derives a third characteristic—darkness.

It stands to reason that Taisuke and Hikaru Kuroda shouldn't be stupid enough to go deep into the black forest, in this case, there are no other dangerous places on the road, and what kind of big beasts are there on the mountain......

It's winter again, so it's impossible......

"Okay, let's eat first, and we'll talk about it after we've eaten."

Just when he was thinking about the situation that Taisuke and Kuroda Hikaru might encounter, it was already past twelve o'clock, so Makoto beckoned everyone to prepare for lunch, and he planned to put the matter of Taisuke and Kuroda Hikaru aside for the time being.

And then......

"Ito ......"

In an instant, he silently put a hardcover black bento and put it in front of Makoto.

"Come, Chengjun also try my craft!"

Then the world unceremoniously placed a black bento box of the same style, but slightly smaller, next to the bento box that was given to Makoto in the moment.

"Makoto, you don't have to finish eating, just eat as much as you want, and just tell me your feelings afterwards!" Immediately afterwards, Yan Ye also took out a blue bento box and put it on the "other side of the vacant".

"So, Makoto, please......"

Then Xing sprinkled another handful of salt on Makoto's already scarred chest.

Makoto smiled bitterly and looked at Otome and Sakura Fujino on the other side, who were taking out the lunch box.

"I'm sorry, I got up a little late because of excitement, and the craftsmanship is not very home, so I only made my own share, Ito-kun's share will go back and find a chance to make up for it!"

Otome's words made Makoto feel subtlely relieved, and now Makoto focused all his eyes on Fujino Sakura. Then, under Makoto's attention, Sakura Fujino took out an oversized three-tiered lunch box that was larger than everyone else, and then blushed and shyly put it in front of Makoto.

“……”

At this moment, Makoto really didn't know what to say for a while. However, there was one thing he had to ask, "Sakura, this should be everyone's share, right?"

In response to Makoto's apologetic eyes, Sakura Fujino nodded a little disappointedly, and said with a reluctant smile: "Of course!"

Regarding the action between Makoto and Fujino Sakura, everyone saw it, but it was not pierced. Each of them prepared for the meal, Sakura turned around and took out her lunch box from the backpack behind her, Yan Ye spread a flower cloth on the stone table and put it under the lunch box, and Otome and the world helped pick up the put down lunch box to facilitate Yan Ye's work. As for the moment......

"Here you go, Ito!" She pulled out a brand new, all-black iron from her backpack and gave it to me.

"Thanks, Moment!" Of course, Makoto accepted it with a smile without hesitation.

"So, I'm going to go!"

Everyone put their hands together and made the final preparations for the meal.

During the mealtime, everyone chatted and ate, I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, everyone ate very slowly. As a result, it took a lot more time than usual to eat, but even so, Makoto and the others didn't wait for Taisuke and Hikaru Kuroda to return until the meal was over.

After Makoto confirmed the time, he said to everyone, "It's past half past twelve, Taisuke and Koko haven't come back yet, and they're probably in trouble." Just after eating, we took a break and left on time at one o'clock. ”

Everyone who heard Makoto nodded silently, and they all showed a little uneasy expression.

"Let's go, then!"

"Hmm!"

After resting, Makoto and his party took their belongings and set off towards the black forest on the mountain road to the north.

Makoto Ito's sight.

In front of the dark forest.

"Is that the Black Forest? Sure enough, it lives up to its name! ”

"But sure enough, it's a tree I've never seen before! Anyway, there really are black trees in this world! ”

Seeing the footsteps of our group in the Black Forest, Sakura and the world immediately sighed, they seemed very curious, and seemed to be very interested in the world inside.

Now is an extraordinary time, I said to everyone with a serious expression on my face: "Although we came together, I am the only one who actually entered the dark forest to search......

"Huh? For ......"

"World, don't interrupt. The interior of the black forest is a special environment of 'no light', and the inside of the mountainside that was originally scheduled to be visited in the afternoon is full of light, so there is nothing in the flashlight at all! But even if you bring that thing, it's completely useless in the Black Forest.

In the Black Forest, even a strong flashlight will not have a visual range of more than half a meter, which is a drop in the bucket for searchers, but it is only a futile effort. ”

"Listen, no matter what happens, you can't enter the Black Forest! Your mission is to search the area around the Black Grove to see if there are any traces or messages of what they have left behind. I glanced at the Black Forest, at the strange black trees that were even denser than the last time, and I once again instructed, "Listen, no matter what happens, you must not enter the Black Forest!"

"I'll be back in an hour or so at most, just wait outside for me to come back!" With that, I walked towards the Black Forest.

"I'll be here waiting for you to come back! Be careful, Ito! ”

Even when I heard the cordial farewell behind me, I didn't turn around, but quickened my pace and entered the dark forest earlier.

Inside the dark forest, I walked slowly with my eyes open. I didn't open my mouth to shout, I just quietly observed the changes around me.

It was silent, there was no living being, I couldn't hear the footsteps below, and all I could think of was an incomprehensible humming that made people feel restless.

This is the peculiarity of the "secluded" of the black secluded forest, and the so-called silence is far from reaching this point. It's not a vacuum or something close to a vacuum, it's just the dark environment created by the strange trees around it.

Light cannot travel in darkness because it will be consumed by darkness; Similarly, sound cannot travel in the dark, as it will also be consumed by darkness. That's why I didn't shout, because the voice didn't go far, it didn't reach its purpose at all; And I use it because I can see in the dark with these eyes.

With these eyes, I can search more widely.

The first thing to pay attention to when searching for people is to save physical strength, and then to grasp the time. Don't let yourself be disoriented, there is no need to mention the sense of need, this is the basic of the basics, and it is the basic condition necessary to find someone.

Otherwise, the cart will be turned upside down!

Grasping the general situation of the search site, which is what I am doing now; Thinking about the actions of the person being searched for and the conditions they might encounter, excluding unnecessary low-probability locations, and searching only for places that are likely to be higher, I had done this before I entered the Black Forest. This included judging the movements of the searched people through the information left behind, and I also instructed them to do it for them.

Let them wait while doing things, so that I am more at ease and safer for them!

"Okay, that's pretty much it!"

Through observation, I found that there was not much change in the interior of the Black Forest, but the strange trees had grown, and the geographical environment had not changed. The interior is still getting thinner and thinner, but also thicker! There is always only a slightly wet flat ground under your feet! (The black strange trees of the Black Forest do not shed leaves all year round.) )

There was no need to waste time on the road, so I quickened my pace and ran swiftly and swiftly in the relatively narrow dark space on the inside and outside of the Black Forest. Along the way, the Rapid Dodge traveled in an almost straight line towards the center of the Black Forest.
