Among the countless people and things in the world, there is no place that can be called 'special'.

Existence is reasonable, ordinary is reasonable, and everything that can be seen and what cannot be seen must be classified as 'reasonable'.

In the courtyard, there are figures standing one after another.

The so-called 'tall' is only relative, because at this time she is not tall enough no matter what, and she is the same size as an ordinary child, and these adults in front of her naturally appear taller.

"She' is here, isn't she?"

He didn't raise his gaze, and the tone of the question was barely audible, just a simple confirmation.

"Hmm...... Be...... That's right......"

The man in black standing outside the door hesitated slightly, and there was a very unnatural pause in his voice.

I didn't make a mistake when I faced some extraordinary big people, naturally it wasn't because of nervousness...... Perhaps......

Just as he didn't notice why his legs were shaking slightly.

The chest cavity felt like a boulder stacked on top of it, and it felt like a suffocating feeling.

When faced with this child who is not as tall as his previous heart, he reacted instinctively.

However, she didn't have much interest in the person in front of her, or anything she saw in her eyes.

It's just an ordinary gaze, but it already reveals such a heart-wrenching atmosphere.

"No...... No, if the old man left behind before his death, the two young ladies can't meet......"

As if suddenly remembering something, the man in black forcibly stopped the urge to immediately back off and get out of the way.

"Oh...... Can you people stop me? ”

For the first time, I looked at the figure in front of me a little seriously.

Not contempt, not ridicule.

For the group of adults in front of him who are far above him in height and age, there is no respect or contempt.

At this time, he was more nervous than ever—and it was only then that he finally confirmed this situation.

The child in front of him was not a monster, not a god, but a slanted bangs on his forehead touching the tips of his eyebrows, and his black eyes were shining with a girl who was deeper than her age.

That's how it should be...... At least the moment he saw her, he thought so.

The body that has been cultivated over the years is still moving, at a speed that ordinary people's eyes cannot grasp.

In any case, he couldn't let the girl in front of him approach the courtyard behind him, and that was the only thing he needed to deal with at this moment.

Suddenly, the vision was blurred.

His knees went limp, he lost all the strength to support his body, and he collapsed like a broken thread, and there was a dull pain in his jaw from hitting the ground.

For a split second before consciousness descended into darkness, the vision became clear again.

A small palm pressed against the back of the neck of the last person like a dragonfly, and without a trace of superfluous movement, the body had already swept through the air.

In an instant, it took away the mobility of dozens of adults, and the girl's figure fell to the ground as lightly as a butterfly.

There was no stagnation, just a split second from one end of the ground to the other.

It was only then that he finally saw what he was facing.

A black dress hung down on her snow-white knees, and her dark eyes looked like a lake shrouded in a quiet night.

Perhaps there is no need to understand how this girl exists—she is her, that's all.

Even though the appearance is almost the same as that of another younger girl, it is essentially the difference between day and night.

Extremely similar, yet diametrically opposed.

…………

It's like two sides of the same coin.

Maybe it's because I know so much about most things in the world that I lose my curiosity and fear.

Or maybe...... The essence of the girl named Ji Key is far from ordinary people.

…………

There is a long corridor in the wide courtyard, and the sunlight seeps down through the gaps in the vines that cling to the top of the corridor.

The breeze blew through her hair and fingertips.

There was a door at the end of the view, and it was like a tipping point.

The dividing line between black and white.

The girl looked silently at the door not far away.

Moved forward.

Without the slightest hesitation, there may be nothing in the world that can restrain her movements.

Step by step, just silently walking forward-

...... to the other end of the door—

Among the countless people and things in the world, there is no one that can be called 'special'.

At this moment, this place, this moment, is probably the same.

There is no difference between a normal day, and there is no difference between any other kind of 'ordinary' --

It must have been an ordinary encounter, right......

…………

It seems to exhaust all the whiteness of the world.

A girl with a kitten puppet in her arms, with shallow tears in the corners of her eyes, sat quietly on a fluffy blanket.

Should...... How to describe it......

She only had the intuitive feeling in her heart -

Doll-like ...... Girl......

It's hard to imagine that it's a real human being in the world, with a body temperature that can be touched.

The long black hair hung down on the shoulders, and the face was so delicate that it was like a virtual projection, and it was impossible to take your eyes off it at the first sight.

It was enough to overshadow anyone who saw it with their own eyes.

…………

"Yesterday...... See ...... again"

"In a dream...... Met ......."

The doll-like girl muttered.

"Clock, Tree, Night, Ruins......"

"Xi'er is the only one, and I can't find the direction to go home no matter how I walk......"

With a hint of confusion, he continued to say to himself:

"Everybody's gone...... Will Xi'er go over there too? ……”

…………

"Can you see your mom and dad over there? ……”

…………

A touch of darkness entered her eyes......

The black dress was blowing in the wind.

The girl sat quietly beside her, her fingers overlapped and clasped together.

Smile slightly.

"It's okay."

"...... Now"

…………

"I'm not alone anymore......"
