Chapter 61: A Narrow World

"Brother Narukai, it seems like the first time for the two of us to walk together, right?"

"Yes!"

"After all, everything is moving so fast! When I came back to my senses, it seemed that everything had been decided and ......."

"Aren't you going to change your decision at that time?"

The wind at night was very cold, and it was so cold that Xiaoqian felt cold in her heart. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Now that you have made a decision and made up your mind, you must follow through to the end!"

"But I don't understand, I really don't! Why did Brother Narumi, who likes his sister so much, leave his sister? ”

"I don't understand, and it's a matter of course! I like it very much, but I want to leave, which is also an expression of love, isn't it? ”

"—though I want to say so."

“……”

"But in fact, I don't have the ability to bring happiness to Haruka!"

You can smile just by being with Brother Narumi.,It's just an ordinary chat that makes you feel happy.。 Can't bring happiness to my sister or something, how is it possible?

"What does that mean?"

"I'm a strange person. No, I'm so strange that I can't call it 'human' anymore. ”

"Well, it's better for you to understand that you're a strange person!"

“……”

"Xiaoqian feels that my sister is very happy with me now, but this happiness is only temporary."

"One day, lovers will become husband and wife, and I can't give Haruka the palace of weddings; After living together, I will naturally think about having children, and this, I can't give it away! ”

"What do you mean?"

"Say it, you must not understand. However, it's okay...... Let's talk about it! ”

"Wanting children -- that's the wayward thinking of parents."

"Maybe most lives want to come to this world, but there are also people who don't want to come to this world."

"For example: me!"

"I can give Haruka happiness as a girlfriend, but I can't give her happiness as a woman! I can't leave my sins behind! That will become my karma, which I absolutely cannot accept. ”

"I don't understand, but my sister's words ......"

It may sound complicated, but in simple terms, you don't want children. When you look at it bigger, it seems like a pretty serious thing, but when you look at it smaller, it doesn't seem to be worth mentioning.

"Yes...... It's normal, isn't it......"

Having a baby is not a matter of one or two days, but something that will be done "someday" in the future; "Now, it doesn't matter at all" Xiaoqian, who had such thoughts, failed to correctly understand the meaning of what Takayuki said to her.

Like Xiaoqian, the cold night breeze was blowing, but Xiaozhi felt very comfortable, and he smiled, showing a comfortable smile.

"But what about Akane? Even if Xiaoqian can accept it, what will happen to her uncle and aunt? Haruka is different from me, I have been alone from the beginning, and I have no worries; I just have to do what I want, but Haruka has a family......"

"If being with me means losing not only the happiness of a woman, but also the warmth of your family, will your hard-won life really be beautiful?"

"No, you can't...... I'm not going to let that happen...... Haruka just keeps it like that, even though she's become a different person, but after all, ......"

"Smack!"

Takayuki blocked Akane's sudden slap, and he looked calm, which proved that he knew exactly what he was talking about.

"Do you know what you're talking about?"

But in Xiaoqian's opinion, Brother Narumi must not know what he is talking about. That's why she slapped her, she wanted to wake up Brother Narumi, who was full of strange thoughts, and she wanted to ...... again

"Damn, damn ............"

Because of self-blame, he kept pounding the ground, so that the flesh and blood were blurred.

"Haruka, I'm here to talk to you again!"

Studying, working, even though I am quite tired physically and mentally, I still come to the hospital every day to see my sister! As it is now, no, it is even more painful than it is now!

"Narumi-kun has ...... Won't come again! ”

But, suddenly, one day he didn't show up in the hospital again, and he hasn't been in the hospital again for three years since then!

"Akane? How have you been doing? Is the study still going well? ”

When we met again, he no longer took the initiative to mention his sister, and at first I thought that he might have forgotten about her, after all, she had been sleeping for a year......

However, he just focused on his studies, and his grades went from the middle to the top, and the change was like putting all his energy into studying......

However, with excellent grades, he not only chose to go directly to Bailing University, but even the major he chose was beyond everyone's expectations. I thought he was working so hard for his sister, but he chose the philosophy department instead!

I don't understand...... I don't understand......

Knowing the home address, there would have been countless opportunities, and I would like to ask him:

"Why? Why? To do something like this? ”

"Am I always fooling around like a fool? Is it only a fool like me who wants you to be happy with your sister? Two people like each other so much, why can't they be together? ”

"You say! Narumi Takayuki !! ”

Imagine yelling at him like this.

"Why didn't you come to see my sister all of a sudden?"

Question like this.

"Why all of a sudden all of your energy is spent on studying?"

Maybe I don't have that qualifications......

"Why not choose to move on to medical school? Why did you choose a philosophy department? ”

But I wanted to ask, I wanted to ask him personally.

"Why? Why! Why ......"

I want to know......

"What the hell are you paying so much for?"

His answer.

"Answer me, filial piety."

What he really thought in his heart.

Xiao Qian held back tears and sat down on the ground. Before they knew it, they came to the bridge where they met that night, and it was like it was doomed, and Takayuki suddenly wanted to say something.

"Why? Why......"

But is fate really predestined?

"Even if I let Xiaoqian know, what can I do?"

It doesn't seem to be.

Xiaozhi obviously wanted to say it, but swallowed it.

"It can only be a needless pain!"

He wanted to do it, but he didn't do anything!

-- Because of the contradiction.

Hesitant......

"Moreover, why does Xiaoqian work so hard?"

And confused.

"I, I, what am I for......"

Xiaozhi's voice reached Xiaoqian's ears, striking a small ripple in her chaotic heart. In the chaotic waves, it is so inconspicuous, so weak, but it stubbornly resists the wind and waves, and constantly echoes in the heart lake.

She should only think about her sister's happiness, but in fact, it doesn't seem to be like that.

"Me...... What about me...... Obviously I should be for my sister......"

But no one actually asked her to do that, and she did it entirely out of her own volition. Watching her sister and Takayuki walk together, she will feel at ease, and she will ......

Xiao Qian whispered distractedly, her eyes becoming hollow. It seemed to sense something, but reason forced her to resist. Or maybe she's just running away!

Escaping from reality, escaping from one's own mind.

Just because she is Akane Ryomiya, she is Haruka Ryukamiya's sister!

So, it's impossible to like Takayuki Narumi or something.

What she has been deliberately ignoring all along, because of Xiaozhi's words, suddenly came to her face, and she was not ready in her heart, but she still had to face it.

The tears on Akane Suzumiya's face stopped, and Takayuki Narumi was still lying in that place that night, with his back to her, and the world seemed to be quiet. Familiar songs seemed to ring in the ears again, and silence brewed in the air, creating an opportunity for those who spoke again to speak at any time.

Akane Suzumiya is very clear: this is not okay.

But she still got up from the ground, took off the hairpin that she had always worn on her head, and the supple and slender bangs fell instantly, and the bangs covered her eyes, and no one could see what kind of gaze was condensed in her hair.

Akane Suzumiya may not know, but at this moment she is really like her sister - Haruka Suzumiya.

"Filial piety~"

Xiao Qian softly called out Takayuki's name, and the voice was exactly the same as what Takayuki had heard when he heard Haruka confess to him. The difference is that Haruka stands in front of Xiaozhi, while Xiaoqian stands behind Xiaozhi.

Despite this, she still opened her arms, hugged Takayuki tightly, and pressed her body tightly.

"Akane!? What are you doing? Let go of me! ”

Filial piety should be flustered to drink Liang Gong Qian's.

-- But he didn't do that.

"Hmm!"

Obviously he should have refused, but he accepted this sudden thought.

He just answered calmly, and put a hand placed on the guardrail on the hands that Suzumiya Akane hugged him tightly. The touch on the back is so soft, but the skin on the tentacles is so cold, this is reality, not a dream!

Filial piety's behavior is undoubtedly a betrayal of Haruka Suzumiya!

But for this, he has no regrets, and he does not intend to make any excuses and apologies for this. Just because even if he was held by Akane Ryomiya, his body didn't react at all, so he would naturally think:

It's okay.

However, doing so undoubtedly trampled on the feelings between them. Even if she won't know...... But in Xiaozhi's heart, he knew very well that he had hurt Haruka.

But even so! Nor will he use this as an excuse to force himself to reject another heart that likes him.

What's more, that person is still Akane Suzumiya, Haruka's sister!

Perhaps because of this, it is even more unacceptable......

It's just that that's talking about someone else.

"I'm Akane Ryūmiya, not Haruka Ryukamiya!"

Akane Suzumiya gently rested her head on Narumi Takayuki's back, sucking his breath, feeling his presence, and cherishing this short time that belonged only to her.

The hand that protected her was so warm, and the warmth extended down the back of her hand to her arm, and then spread throughout her body, adding a bit of heat to her whole body.

"I know very well!"

Even if the two sisters, even if the current Akane Suzumiya is exactly the same as Haruka Suzumiya "at that time", it is impossible for Takayuki Narumi to confuse her with her sister.

"You've betrayed your sister! Then, too, I ......"

Although Xiao Qian at this moment is the position of Akane Lianggong, her sister is still a sister after all. And the fact that she is Haruka Ryukiya's sister will naturally not change anything.

"yes!"

Narumi Takayuki replied crisply, sounding like he didn't care at all.

"Don't you like your sister anymore?"

This is just a casual question, and Akane Lianggong doesn't, or even doesn't want to know the answer to this question at all.

“……”

And as if to understand Akane Suzumiya's feelings, Narumi Takayuki did not answer this question. Although there is a reason for committing an act of betrayal, it must be a lie to say that there is no guilt at all. The guilt shook Narumi Takayuki's determination.

"Like", at least at this moment when he still accepts Xiaoqian's hug, he can no longer easily say these two words. Because it was an insult to Akane Ryumiya, it was also another betrayal of Haruka, and it was a stain on her feelings for herself.

I can't say it, and I can't say anything; Therefore, he chose to remain silent. And this silence represents, at least at this moment, as Akane Suzumiya said......

"So, what about me? What have you thought of me all along? It's just that you think of me as Haruka Cool's sister, don't you think of me as a girl? ”

However, facts are facts, and no matter what happens, it will not change because of it. Even if you offer your lips, even if you strip your clothes, even if you offer your body, even if you do that...... That doesn't make any sense either.

Nothing will change what has already happened......

"Xiaoqian is Xiaoqian, I have always treated you as my own sister."

But for what hasn't happened yet, a lot will change.

"Just because I'm Haruka Ryukamiya's sister, and just because you already have a girlfriend named Haruka Ryukamiya, can't you give me a chance?"

Taking advantage of Narumi Takayuki turning around, Akane Suzumiya suddenly stood on tiptoe and kissed him, but Narumi Takayuki shook his head with a smile. This seems to be the road that has been walked, and if you silently accept Akane Suzumiya's kiss, it means that you have accepted her heart. I'm going to say goodbye to Haruka in a few days, so at that time Xiaozhi will have to date Xiaoqian......

It's like his past with Haruka - even if he doesn't like her.

Takayuki held Xiaoqian in his arms, and he couldn't let Haruka's thing happen again. He rested his chin on Akane's head, and Akane didn't struggle in any way. She was just unwilling, she just whispered:

"Isn't it just a little late to meet? Why...... It's unfair......"

"I just want to like whoever I like. Obviously I just want the person I like to like me, why can't I? ”

"Because the world is so small that there is only room for one person."

This sentence, Xiaozhi still didn't say it after all. He held Xiaoqian in his arms and let himself quietly enjoy this last warmth that only belonged to her with her.

And this is the only effort he can make for Xiaoqian, who likes him.

He's a man.

He should be a man.

A person is lonely, and a person's heart gradually becomes colder, and then Yinmeng, Haruka, Shuiyue, and Xiaoqian. Things are sealed. They will be remembered as a past, and they will no longer be remembered by filial piety, and he will be forgotten until he dies.

The cold wind blew in the night, and Xiaozhi had forgotten that there was a Shiko who suddenly broke into his life at home, and what Shiko conveyed before leaving: "Tonight, I will wait for you!"

……

"Hahahaha, filial piety, this way!"

Today is not the day I was discharged from the hospital, nor is it a few days later, but a month has passed. What day it is, Takayuki still remembers it clearly.

"Filial piety, is it okay to wait another month? You haven't invited me on a date yet, and in a month, I want to go on a date with you......"

"Yes, I'll pick you up at your house then!"

It is precisely because of his memory that Takayuki postponed the farewell that had been scheduled to a month later.

Couples should go to a café or amusement park on a date, but a trip to a hot spring might be a good idea, or a trip to a mall.

If you go to the cinema, it must be the man's idea, and if you choose to watch a horror movie, it means that you have bad intentions. But in fact it is quite stupid and meaningless.

Filial piety is not that kind of man, although on a bad level, he is even more than that. But he's not that kind of man, he's not a man who would allow himself to think and do that.

"Ah~ I really haven't been here for a long time, I really miss it! Come on, let's come and sit down! ”

"Well, here we are!"

That day, the two sat side by side on that small hill. Lying lazily under the big tree together, they held hands with each other and made a vow that they would never give up:

Like a twinkling comet in the infinite night sky.

Our hearts are intertwined and not separated.

Even if the two can't hold hands.

As long as we keep ...... in mind

"Now, Filial Piety, do you remember the magic spells you used to do here? Let's do it again! ”

Sitting side by side, the memories of that time have been forgotten.

Although they were close, their hearts were far away.

Even if they are still holding hands, they can't change the separation after all.

"What's the matter, Lord of Filial Piety? Let's do it again! ”

"Come, clasp your fingers tightly. Like twinkling comets in the infinite night sky, our hearts are intertwined and inseparable...... Like a twinkling comet in the infinite night sky, even if the two can't hold hands, as long as we still remember ......"

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry, Haruka. ”

Listening to the voice that seemed to have just been heard last night, filial piety left tears in his eyes. He hugged Yao into his arms, and for a while complex feelings such as emotion, remorse, cherishment, and nostalgia were intertwined in his heart.

"Why does the king of filial piety apologize? Did the prince of filial piety do anything that could not be done? ”

Haruka's voice was trembling, but she couldn't hold back her tears. She told herself that she couldn't cry, she couldn't make Xiaozhi more sad because of herself, he was already miserable enough!

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry......"

I obviously have a thousand words in my heart, but in the end, I just keep repeating the apology.

"The king of filial piety doesn't need to apologize to me, I am the one who should apologize. It's already ok, it's enough! ”

The things that filial piety can't say have to be said by themselves, and they can't be willful anymore. Haruka has already made up her mind that she can't let Takayuki be embarrassed anymore.

"Don't push yourself anymore! I knew from the beginning that the prince of filial piety would not like me. They will accept my confession because they don't want me to be sad and sad......"

"No, it's not like that......"

Hearing Haruka's words, Takayuki no longer hesitated. He will lie to Haruka!

And it's not for Haruka, it's just for himself.

"I like you, Haruka."

"I like you more than anyone else in this world!"

"I like you, I love you, even after three years, I have never changed my mind."

"The doctor gave up, and your parents didn't have much hope, but I always believed that you would wake up one day. So, I've been waiting, I've been silently looking forward to ......"

"Someday you will wake up, someday you will come back to me; One day we will be able to be together again, and one day we will be able to go back to the old days...... Same as before......"

"There's no need to hesitate any longer, and I'm not going to push myself anymore! I, like you. ”

and filial piety of the king of ten fingers, listening to him excitedly tell his love for himself. The body was so close that he was finally able to get close to his heart, feel the temperature of the atrium, and slowly close his eyes.

"It would be nice if there was no confession like filial piety."

At this moment, she had regretful feelings for the first time, and made up her mind at this time.

"Me too, Takayuki!"

A gust of wind blew, and a few strands of hair covered Haruka's eyes. Takayuki couldn't see the teardrops in the corners of her eyes, and Haruka couldn't see his eyes. However, in this breeze, the two still hugged each other.

Like a twinkling comet in the infinite night sky.

Our hearts are intertwined and not separated.

I could still hear the familiar magic spells in my ears. Embracing and kissing each other under the promised tree, the spell of magic seemed to have been fulfilled.

Xiaozhi gave up the stubborn thoughts in his heart, and Haruka also endured the self-blame in his heart, and finally the two people who loved each other came together again.

Even if the two can't hold hands.

As long as we keep ...... in mind

Confirmed each other's hearts. This time, even though they are separated, their hearts are still connected.

……

"I'm back!"

sent Xiaoqian home, and when she got home again, it was already past eleven o'clock, and it was almost twelve o'clock.

At this time, the lights in the house are still on. When he entered the house and saw Shiko sitting at the dining table drinking coffee, Takayuki remembered the meaning of Shiko's seemingly casual words before leaving.

"Sorry, I'm late!"

However, like Xiaoqian, it is a relationship that cannot be responded to. Although this is a bit cruel, it is also a helpless thing for Xiaozhi. It is impossible for him to be as willful and casual as Ito in his dreams! Although they are very similar, they are still two different people in the end.

"Ah, you're back, Takayuki."

The name that I have become accustomed to, the voice that I have become familiar with, but the tone this time is different from any previous time. That's nostalgia, that's reluctance, but it's also full of sadness and melancholy.

"What's wrong? Not at all like you. ”

Takayuki tried to dilute the sorrow in Shiko's heart in a relaxed tone, and even though he was already overwhelmed, he still wondered if I could do anything for her.

"Huh! I didn't expect to be preached by you! ”

"A few weeks ago, wasn't that the norm?"

Takayuki is not an emotionally dull person. Because he has been hurt by heartbreak and tears, he is more sensitive to feelings than ordinary people. The slight change in the tone of his words, the fleeting thoughts in his eyes, he could read the subtle changes in his mood to a greater or lesser extent.

"Is it another annoyance?"

"Can you see that?"

"Of course, don't you already have it all written on your face?"

"Is that so? Am I really that good at understanding? ”

"Of course, aren't you Shiko Jingmura?"

"Hehe, you're really bad-hearted!"

"You just found out!"

Although Shiko laughed, her eyes were crooked. Maybe she didn't notice that her smile was actually ugly, and although she was smiling, it looked like she was crying.

It's just that the warm current is still suppressed in the corners of the eyes, but the crying can't be heard in the laughter.

"When you part, you have to smile on your face!"

A soft voice sounded in Takayuki's head, words he had never heard Haruka say. Sad but with a strong smile, she stood on the shore and looked back at herself, a gaze that seemed to imprint everything she had into her heart.

Takayuki had never seen that expression on Haruka's face.

――That's how a girlfriend understands her boyfriend.

-- It's respect for the choices made by the person you like.

-- It was reluctance -- I couldn't hold back -- and I accepted the reality that everything would become a memory.

Although it is painful, "he" can no longer be bothered because of himself.

Although I am very unwilling, if "he" chooses so, I am willing to accept it.

"When you part, bring a smile on your face."

Not through reason, but through intuition, I felt the feelings of Haruka in that moment.

In fact, I don't want to accept it, I don't want to separate, but I can't change anything no matter what.

So, except to accept, "I can't do anything"!

I can't be resentful, I can't cry, I can't let "him" break me in his mind!

If you can't occupy "his" world, then completely occupy a corner of "world".

As long as it can be remembered by him once in a while, that's enough, that's fine......

However, filial piety is not Haruka, and now he does not have such complicated feelings as Haruka. After losing the emotion of anger, he became gentle. However, he did not do this to everyone.

"And so? What the hell happened? ”

Feelings can be divided into many kinds, although some feelings are very ambiguous, but the sensitive filial piety can be distinguished.

"When I came back, I bumped into my parents!"

Takayuki sat across from Shiko, but Shiko didn't look at him. Fixing his gaze on the coffee in his hand, he picked up the cup and took a sip, Shiko tried her best to pretend to be relaxed, and continued:

"I've seen my sister who I haven't seen for a long time, and she doesn't seem to know about me, and she looks as energetic as before." They're ...... too It still seems to be the same. ”

"I thought I had let it go, I had forgotten it!"

"However, when I actually saw it, it didn't seem to be like that at all, and to be honest, I was a little shocked."

Shiko raised her head and drank her coffee in one gulp, and the topic seemed to be over everywhere.

"Filial piety, you don't seem to be an orphan, right?"

"It's not. We've been neighbors for years, and you've probably seen that! It's just a man and a woman who sometimes come to me together. ”

For Shiko's question, Takayuki really wants to answer "yes". However, Shizi knew the answer and asked him like this, and there was no point in lying.

Besides, he lives alone. But it wasn't like that at the beginning, and he wasn't the mythical monkey, even though it was that yearning, it couldn't change the fact that he didn't jump out of the stone.

"'One man and one woman'...... Does Hyozhi hate his parents so much? ”

Whispering "a man and a woman", Shiko looked at Takayuki with some sighs. If you can use such a word to refer to your parents, if you are a normal person, you will definitely blame filial piety, right?

"Anyway, they're your parents, too!"

However, instead of accusing him, Shiko chuckled.

"'The one who gave birth to me and raised me', but that's all!"

It's a fact that it's your own parents, but it has nothing to do with yourself. Takayuki had forgotten about their existence, if it weren't for the fact that they occasionally took the initiative to call him, if it wasn't for Shiko mentioning it, he wouldn't have remembered it at all.

"It's really different!"

Shiko withdrew her gaze and looked elsewhere in the hall.

The posters on the wall, the slippers in the hallway, the clothes on the balcony, the water glass in the hand, and the sesame cake in the cupboard...... In just over four months, happy memories are recorded everywhere.

The poster was bought with the only money he had with him when he ran away from home, and the slippers were already available in the family of filial piety. The clothes on the balcony were picked up by Takayuki who took him to the store with him, and he also paid for a set of pajamas and a water cup in the palm of his hand.

Sesame cake is Xiaozhi's favorite dessert, and it shouldn't be eaten secretly, but the appetite just can't be suppressed.

"I've been bothering you all the time!"

Retracting her gaze, Shiko took a deep look at Koyi with a complex gaze that carried nostalgia, then bent down and pressed her head to the table.

“……”

Takayuki got up and came behind Shiko, supported her shoulders with both hands, and helped her up without a word.

"I can't hate them so much...... No, maybe I didn't hate them at all. I was just angry, just angry - they couldn't understand me. So...... So ......"

"When you part, bring a smile on your face."

Haruka, which flashed in Takayuki's mind, said so, but it's a pity. When she left the house of filial piety, Shiko went back crying. He didn't comfort her, he didn't hold on again, at least he waited until he cried before going home.

"If your uncle and aunt bowed their heads and apologized to you, would you forgive them?"

"No, it won't."

"Well, if they bend their knees......"

"It's all gone, it's too late. Go back! ”

The cold water stimulates Takayuki's nerves and calms his irritable heart gradually. He put Shiko's affairs behind him and thought about Haruka's affairs instead.

Although I said so much in front of Xiaoqian before, now that I think about it, the reason why I accepted Haruka's confession in the first place may really be just because I didn't want to see her cry and didn't want to be troubled by it.

So, accepted Haruka; So, fulfill her desires, stay by her side, and associate with her; That's why at that time, it was like the time of Otomeng again......

Filial piety is an infatuated person!

Once, Takayuki also dreamed of being with Otomu.

Once, Takayuki also sincerely thought that in this life, except for Otomu, he would never like any woman again.

Even if we can't come together, even if it's so painful that I want to forget, I still remember her figure clearly, her voice, and the moments I spent with her.

I left her because I feared that my visceral dislike for "parents" would affect her family—at first, I thought.

But in fact, it was just that I realized that the warmth was slowly melting myself, melting the heart that had been frozen for a long time.

Fear that the disguise will be stripped away layer by layer, and I am afraid that my heart will return to its original shattered state because of the unsealing. It's like this to turn back into that timid, fragile, and useless self.

will reveal her true nature, and will be naked in the sight of Otomu and her family. Just because "maybe" will be hated, just because "maybe" will be betrayed - in order to avoid feeling the heartbreaking pain again.

――In order not to use ice to glue the broken hearts together again.

So, I fled.

Quietly departed from Otomu's side.

――I was the one who really betrayed me.

It was I who betrayed Otomu's feelings for me......

I love Otomu, and I still like her even now.

However, she has a new home! The other person who liked her, the other person she liked—I can't show her that my heart had changed a little—not because of Haruka, not because of Otomu, not because of the relationship with the person she liked.

It's just -- the world is too narrow.

One person cannot like two people at the same time.

You can't like the same person at the same time.

obviously love each other deeply, but they can't be together!

Family members won't allow it, friends won't agree, countries won't agree, and the world will force them to separate from each other......

If you are together, you will not be supported, you will not be understood together, you will only be irresponsible and maliciously slandered, and you will only accumulate pain and part......

I'm not reconciled!

I really want to see her now, I really want to see her again, I really want to say "I'm sorry" to her in person.

But no!

It is precisely because I love her that I have to hide this feeling deep in my heart. It's because I still like her that I can't confide my heart to anyone.

It's like Haruka......

Doubts, fears, and insecurities are ignored even though they are aware of them. And that Murakami...... He gave Haruka joy that I couldn't give, and because of the same experience, he could understand Haruka's mood better than I did.

Give Haruka to him, maybe you can ......

"Narumi? Jun ......"

"Shh~"

"Narumi-kun! You ......"

"Please, you just pretend you didn't see anything!"

"Hey, you're ......"

"Please don't tell Haruka, I don't want her to know that I already knew about it."

"Tick!"

"Is it really good to do this?"

I returned to the life of a person, and I returned to the dark room, staring at the five fingers in the dark, and the doubts in the heart of filial piety always lingered.
