(The first update~ And today's decision is the sixth watch, you can cheer happily~ And the author decided that the plot in the future will not be according to the original work.) Anyway, the relationship between the characters has changed, and the favorability value and other messy things have also changed, so the foreshadowing of the original work is not needed, right? Anyway, I'm not going to write about the plots behind Rumi Tsurumi. So to sum up, today should be the last day of the third watch? Please be ready to break the shift tomorrow~)

The test of courage is also an activity of the forest school.

Naturally, I don't do professional special makeup or use any special effects. It's like the one who everyone has an impression of.,It's just the one who is just reciting the scriptures.,The one who is chased around by a dark shadow among the trees that shake in the night.。

However, the mere fact that the woods at night are scary enough. The rustle of the trees sounded like the conversation of the deceased, and the breeze blew like the dead caressing their cheeks. In such an atmosphere that made all high school students feel a little frightened, we were preparing for the courage test course while making plans for the evening.

After confirming the process, the final step is to fix the rune written on straw paper with the ancestral hall-like thing that was converted into a louver box. Bringing this back is the task of the elementary school students. No matter how prepared you are, in order not to let elementary school students get lost because of the chaos, you still have to check in dangerous places when the time comes. As we walked, we briefly discussed where to set up yokai and how to keep elementary school students from passing by.

Back at the standby location, the conversation started under the snow.

"So, what should I do?"

What to do, naturally, it is not about the test of courage itself.

The question is, how to save Rumi Tsurumi.

“……”

The guys who had been actively making various proposals until now fell silent.

It's a tough question.

Even loud slogans like "everyone should get along" will not work, and in any case, it is possible that the relationship will improve for a while while while we are present, but the same thing will happen again later. For example, Hayama brought Rumi to the center and took care of it in one way or another. If it is Hayama, who is extremely popular, it can probably make everyone's relationship better, but Hayama can't follow them all day and night. It's not okay to do something without doing something in essence.

At this point, we couldn't come up with a definite answer, and we just stood there.

Hayama slowly opened his mouth.

"Maybe I'll have to let Rumi-chan talk to everyone herself. Set up such an opportunity. ”

"But,If you do that,Probably Rumi-chan will be blamed by everyone......"

Although Yubihama said this with a low eye, Hayama still did not give up.

"Then, let's talk about them one by one."

"The same. Even if you are kind at the time, you will come back in the back of the geography. Girls are much more terrifying than Hayama-kun thought. Mr. Hai accosted him with some fear. Even Hayama has nothing to say.

"What? Really! It's terrible! ”

I don't know why the blonde hair is so scared. This guy is unexpectedly the outspoken type. Is it just a beautiful and sincere bear woman? Since it's a bear, it's good to maintain the image of a female man? If you make it ready, it will make people feel a little uncomfortable.

Then again, it's really troublesome to charge now. The so-called friends are not only good things, but also negative things. By the way, in this case, in order to maintain the relationship, you need to sacrifice the so-called sacrifice.

It's just that the relationship itself becomes a breeding ground for problems.

In that case, it is necessary to make a fuss about the relationship itself.

"I have three ways."

I held out three fingers to my companions.

"The first and most suitable one is to enlighten Tsurumi Rumi and let her make her own choices for the future. But judging by her conversation, she gave up on the way she chose herself. So there are two options left. In both cases, external forces are used to intervene. Because if you don't change, the rest can only be guided by external forces. ”

Looking at the shadowy jungle in the distance, listening to the rustle of the breeze blowing through the branches, it was like falling into some kind of killing field, and an inexplicable chill began to make people shiver.

"I'd like to ask you a question first, destruction and protection, what do you like?"

"What? Playing pantomimes? It's nothing to do with the present, right? ”

"Don't worry about it so much, just say it."

"Ahh If normally, they all like to protect, and no one likes to see everything in pieces...... Huh? Biqigu-san, should you not? ”

Hayama looked at me as if he realized something.

So you don't have to look at me like that. I'm just a gun.

I was the one who loaded it, I was the one who opened the safe, I was the one who loaded the gunpowder, and I was the one who fired the bullet out of the gun. But the killing intent comes from under the snow and Yubihama, and the appeal comes from Tsurumi Rumi, who is just a substitute and a tool. A tool that allows the will of the snow and Yuhihama to be unleashed.

"Well, if it is protection, there must be a source of protection. This source doesn't have to be too dazzling, maybe it's still very unfamiliar. But this person's strength can definitely have an impact on other children. It's that simple. ”

Because bullying between children is such a simple thing.

Why will you be insulted? Because my strength is not enough. There is no power to make others feel frightened or happy, and there is no wisdom and self-knowledge to keep yourself alone. Cold violence has always crept through this mood of unease and confusion. It's not that you're doing anything wrong, it's because you're not doing anything, or you're not doing enough.

You don't have the terrible wisdom that surpasses all your peers and makes them feel hopeless, you don't have the lonely state of mind of the ancient Buddha and the green lantern, and you don't have the network of relationships that pervade every corner of the school, just an ordinary, somewhat clever person. So I said, just ordinary talent is the most useless thing. He won't help you much, but the impact on your mentality is unusually strong. I'm the most disgusted with this half-thing.

But you can't ignore it. Because she asked me for help. I won't help someone who hasn't asked me for help, but when someone asks me, I will definitely help her. Even if the cry for help was faint, it would be the same.

"If she is weak and doesn't even have the courage and determination to struggle, then it's okay to let external forces push her. There is no need to impose one's own subjective will, there is no need to make elementary school students feel those things that we can understand, as long as we are kind, it is enough. It's as simple as that. ”

I smiled.

If I had to choose between a white lie and a malicious truth, I would definitely choose a white lie. Because there is absolutely nothing wrong with working for something false. Even if it's false, but it also has the courage to go on. In time, only this courage will never be erased. Everything is difficult at the beginning, and this falsehood gives a beginning.

That's enough. When a person has a beginning, he will follow that path and go down for himself. And that lie is becoming more and more insignificant. But after all, it gives a chance, a chance for redemption.

Kindness itself is already the most precious thing. There is no need to inflict such pain and suffering on elementary school students.

That's why I hate elementary school students.

The most annoying.
