After Kiyoura Mai leaves, Makoto mobilizes the world and Taisuke to come over and help move. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Na Cheng thought that the world actually helped him call Otome this "help", Taisuke somehow called Kokari, and I don't know why, Fujino Sakura and Hanama Apricot also got the news that they were going to move in an instant, and they spontaneously came over to help.

Although it is a pity - because of the addition of external forces, the result is getting busier and busier......

Needless to say, the news of changing to Cheng's house in an instant must have been exposed. Although Makoto doesn't intend to hide it, he will feel uncomfortable being stared at with strange eyes for a long time.

However, everyone didn't say much about living with Makoto from then on. It seems that they understand it, and they all agree with it. However, it was inevitable that it was too sudden, and as a result, everyone's mood was very heavy when they moved.

In order to change the mood, I propose that everyone go to the suburbs together.

Then everyone happily accepted his proposal, and after agreeing on the time and place, everyone began to discuss the outing. Everyone discussed very seriously and expressed their opinions, so the scene was quite intense.

The heavy atmosphere caused by the heavy mood gradually faded. After seeing this scene, Makoto no longer hesitated, and immediately joined the battle circle.

Foggy Mountain, that's a place they've been to together. Although it is not very big, it is a strange place full of many precious memories.

Three years ago, not long after they first got to know each other, Makoto organized everyone to come to this special place together. At that time, they were both very young and not familiar enough with each other, and they were not mature enough at that time......

At that time, they came with a smile on their faces, and when they left, they were still unsatisfied; At that time, there were five girls, Instant, World, Otome, Hikaru Kuroda, and Ankano Hanama, as well as two boys, Makoto and Taisuke, who were the same people when they left......

They've only been here once!

But he, more than once.

Today they came with a smile on their faces, but at the beginning they encountered something unpleasant - they met someone at the foot of the mountain that Makoto did not want to see.

- Makoto's father (Kagurase).

- Although we have lived together for more than ten years, Makoto doesn't even know his name.

But none of that matters anymore! Kagurase's affairs don't matter to Makoto for a long time. Although I don't want to see it, I won't deliberately ignore it when I see it; Although he is not happy, he is not angry; Makoto no longer holds a grudge against him, nor does he feel sad about it......

"—because he has nothing to do with me anymore."

"--no longer my father."

"-- just a person who has lived with him."

Passing by Kagurase's side, Makoto took the initiative to say hello to him, and then said goodbye.

Then, Makoto thought that this was the way things should go.

But it turned out to be just the beginning!

"So what?"

Makoto looked coldly at the inexplicable man standing in front of him.

"Aren't you surprised?"

Makoto's calm reaction seemed to be difficult for the man to accept.

"Surprised? What's there to be surprised about? ”

Cheng was not interested, and asked casually. If it weren't for the fact that it was a bit rude to walk away like this, and Hikaru Kuroda also hoped that Makoto would listen to what he had to say, Makoto would have turned around and left.

"What's there to be surprised at...... I told you just now: you are not my child and Ayi's. Why didn't you react at all? Don't...... You already knew? The man's emotions were agitated, and he seemed to want to come over and grab Makoto and question him, but his feet seemed to take root.

He stood still, not daring to move his feet.

- Because Makoto's eyes suddenly changed!

"No, I didn't know about it beforehand!"

"It's just that what you're talking about is just meaningless to me! Meaningless things just make me bored and bored! You've lived with me for more than ten years, don't you know that? ”

"Family affection or something, I'm the most disdainful."

"Just like you! To this day, I still don't know your name. ”

As he spoke, Makoto sneered.

The corners of Makoto's mouth grinned slightly, I don't know if he was laughing at himself, or at the "he" opposite him, maybe both! Maybe it's just laughing......

"I don't know if you remember what I said that night?"

"It doesn't matter."

Makoto didn't explain further, as he didn't think it was necessary. It's not because Makoto thinks Kagurase is understandable, it's just that he simply doesn't want to waste his saliva.

The man standing in front of Makoto, Makoto didn't even bother to laugh at him.

"You're not Xiao Cheng! Xiao Cheng was not like this before, Xiao Cheng would not treat me like this! ”

After hearing Makoto's words, Kagurase suddenly lowered her head. He was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised his head again. He pointed his finger at Makoto, his expression agitated, as if he had fallen into a state of madness.

However, what Kagurase said is probably all right!

"Yes, I'm not Makoto Ito......"

"I'm no longer the Makoto ...... you remembered"

"The past "Xiao Cheng" you are talking about! ”

"I'm no longer the kind of person who would be so careless that my adoptive father would quietly push me off a cliff from behind, and I would treat everyone gently......"

Rewind the clock by five hours, Makoto Ito's point of view.

After we parted ways with the "strangest acquaintance", we climbed from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain in one go. There is an old pavilion at the top of the mountain, and we put down our belongings and take a break on the stone bench in the pavilion.

"After that, what should I do?"

Taisuke gasped and looked at me, asking me to make an idea.

I didn't hesitate to take out my phone and look at the time. We arrived at the foot of the mountain at eight o'clock, and although there were no accidents along the way, several women were not very physically strong, and they took a break on the way and delayed for some time, and now it is still a few minutes before it reaches nine o'clock.

"According to the predetermined plan, after that, we will be free to move around, and we will gather here at twelve o'clock." There was still plenty of time, so I had no intention of changing my plan.

"Then do you want to go to 'that place' with me first?" Taisuke leaned up to me and looked meaningfully at the other ancient building on the top of the mountain, in addition to the stone pavilion.

It was a statue, three meters high, that looked to have been carved by hand from a single piece of stone. Because it is so old, the statue itself has long been unable to distinguish the figure.

There is a head but the face can't be seen clearly, there are hands but they make a ball, and the rest are connected together and can't see any tricks. But the statue itself is still smooth, there are no potholes, maybe it has always been like that from the beginning!

At least it hasn't changed in the years, and it's still the same!

"No, I'm not that interested, I'm going to go yourself! By the way, it's good to check the situation inside! Following Taisuke's gaze, I also glanced at the statue that I don't know how many years it had existed.

"Alas, forget it! Since you don't go, it's not interesting for me to go alone, so let's go together when we go home in the afternoon! ”

"Well, that's fine!" I nodded.

"Then I'll take a break, and I'll go to the black forest on the mountainside with Kuroda in a while, and I'll see you at noon." Taisuke left on his own.

There were nine of us, including me, Akina, Konoha, Shimo, Otome, Sakura, Apricot, Taisuke, and Koko, and in the pavilion stood a round table and four smooth, fan-shaped stone benches with identical angles pointing outwards around the stone table. The four corners of the stone bench are facing the four pillars of the stone pavilion, and I don't know what the builder has to say.

――It wasn't until that time that I stumbled upon a secret about this place.

Because of the peculiar shape of the stone bench, each stone bench can be used for three people, and it is more than enough to sit on nine. But after all, the space is limited, and if you have to sit down, there will inevitably be physical contact, although everyone is friends, it is inevitable that it will be a little embarrassing, otherwise Taisuke will not leave silently to rest elsewhere.

I don't mind, but that's right!

"Where are Ito going in a moment?"

Sitting next to me, he asked with his head turned sideways.

To be honest, I really didn't think it through. However, there are other plans before coming, and it is not for nothing that this place was chosen as a location for an outing.

There are some things that I haven't figured out yet, and I chose this place to figure it out. It's rare that I have just the right amount of conditions, and I must confirm my conjecture.

"I want to go around the cliff alone."

"Is that so? Do you want me to go with you? ”

I don't know if I didn't understand the meaning of my words, or if I didn't know how to pretend to understand, but the world looked at me expectantly.

"No, I want to go around the cliff alone."

In order to discourage the world from preparing to go all the way, I repeated the words and strengthened the tone.

"That's right......"

"Well, be careful when Ito goes later." Instantaneously said softly. I could see that she wanted to go with me too, but I couldn't take her this time. My gut told me that I couldn't take her this time anyway!

"Well, I'll take notice."

Looking into the eyes of the moment, I said with a smile.

There is a strange place on the mountainside behind the Wuli Mountain, at the end of a pine forest, about five meters from the mountain, which is the Gloomy Cloud Cliff.

Speaking of peculiarities! First of all, "in fact" this place is "non-existent". There is only one road that can be reached, and that is the one that is covered in pine forests in the southeast of the eight roads that run from the summit of Mt. Kiri to the mountainside. Otherwise, whether you land directly above the Cloud Cliff or climb it from directly below, it's just useless - you'll never get there.

-- No matter what angle or method you look at, if you look at this place from outside the mountain, you will definitely not see anything.

As I said, it literally: the cliff of sorrow is "in fact" a place that does not exist.

Of course, this is just the conclusion of my observations!

I don't know why, the entire foggy mountain is shrouded in a very strong strange magnetic field, and all electronic devices are useless here; Although it does not malfunction, it will malfunction due to the interference of the strong geomagnetic field.

But this has little to do with the "non-existence" of this place. Presumably, the reason for the non-existence of this place is the strange sight that now surrounds me.

Before stepping on the five-meter cliff, I saw cliffs, fields, villages, roads, rivers and mountains in the distance. But when I stepped on the five-meter cliff, I couldn't see the pine forest in my reach, I couldn't see the sun when I looked up, and the cliff that was only five meters down seemed to have become longer and extended to about ten meters.

About half a year ago, I came here alone.

Looking at the "non-existent five meters" and feeling the mysterious atmosphere of the "non-existent" cloud-shrouded fairy bridge, I couldn't help but make a reckless and bold move.

I walked leisurely towards the end of the "non-existent five meters", the "non-existent five meters"! Because, I just want to know!

If I could get there, what would I see if I could stand there......

I did it without hesitation, and then I stood in that place as I wished, at the end of the "non-existent five meters"! I got my wish and saw the scenery that I had bought with the cheap bet of my life!

Nothing, yes, nothing, just nothing.

The moment I stepped to the end, my consciousness was instantly enveloped in darkness, so I couldn't see anything!

But at that moment, at the moment when consciousness disappeared, I felt it, someone pushed me from behind.

I couldn't confirm who that person was, because ...... I was unconscious at that time......

Now I am once again walking towards the "non-existent five meters" at this moment

At the end of the day, I was just as idly walking, just as ignorant!

However, it is no longer that time, and it is no longer back then! No matter how similar it is now and then, it is not the same! Nothing is already the same......

No matter how similar they are, they are just similar, and they are not the same as they used to be!

At the end, I suddenly stopped and turned around. Seeing the expected sight, I shook my head imperceptibly and sighed, "Is it really you?"

I don't know if it was because I turned around suddenly, or because of my bland words, but he seemed very flustered. He tried to escape, but I stared at the ground.

What a pathetic man!

"Can I hear your reasoning? Why? At that time, and at this time, why do this? ”

To be honest, I'm not angry at all. Obviously he was treated very excessively, and he was about to be treated very excessively...... I'm not angry at all! Whether it's the tone or the look, they just want to know the truth, they just want to know why...... Probably, this is my obsession with not being angry, and there is no reason to be angry!

"When I met you at the bottom of the mountain and saw your eyes, I wondered if you hadn't given up yet, and if you would still do such a thing to me without hesitation as you did then......"

As a result, do I still have any expectations for this failed person after saying such things?

Even if we have lived together for more than ten years and don't even know my name, but after all, it is still my father?

――Or even now, I still look forward to the warmth of family that I have never felt before?

"Looks like all this nonsense......"

He didn't listen to my words at all, he was only thinking about how to escape, and he didn't even defend himself...... What shall I say?

Anything is just useless.

I lifted my foot and walked towards him, passed by his side, grabbed his hand that had suddenly reached out to me, effortlessly pushed him to the ground, stood up and dusted my hands, and lifted my foot to stomp heavily on the hand that was reaching out to me again. Listening to the melodious scream, I was not excited, not sad, and not ashamed, so I just left.

I never want to come to this place again!

Probably, I won't come back again in my life......

And to be able to say this, it's just because Makoto doesn't know anything now!
