Chapter Seventy-Five: Stubbornness
Shiina Kikyo is a beauty, something Uesugi Kiyoshi has never denied.
His first impression of this girl was that she was "a good-looking big sister next door".
Although I didn't say a few words, I just had countless photos and nods on the way home from school and work, but I have a deep memory of the appearance of Shiina Kikyo Uesugi Kiyoshi.
If it weren't for the sudden misfortune and the fall of the family, I am afraid this is also an out-and-out image of the eldest lady.
At this time, Shiina Kikyo was almost alive, his face was pale, and he looked a little delicate, and I don't know if it was because of the influence of the "rain girl", but his eyes were moist, and he had a little hazy feeling of waking up from a big dream, which was really pitiful.
After staring at each other for three seconds, Uesugi Kiyoshi smiled with relief.
Looks like it worked.
The evil are killed, and the good people live well, this is the right rule.
This is the right world.
"Don't stay in bed when you wake up - Kikyo... This is the first time I've known your name. ”
"Long time no see."
He smiled and held out his hand.
Platycodon flowers are extremely adaptable, can resist cold, can withstand high temperatures, as long as there is a little vitality, can live tenaciously.
As the name suggests, the girl in front of her is like a bellflower that is trying to bloom, which makes people feel pity, and they want to give him a fertile soil and let her bloom well.
Those who work hard should be treated well, and if the sky is not kind, then replace me.
That's what Kiyoshi Uesugi thinks.
Shiina Kikyo fell into the abyss, only to feel that her consciousness was blurred, as if she was floating in the sea, and the feeling of suffocation came over her, just at the moment when she was about to lose all her senses and turn into nothingness.
A moist coolness spread through her limbs.
Strength poured out.
The demonic energy of the rain girl and the divine power of the lord of Arakawa replace the physical functions of Shiina Kikyo, providing her with the strength to live again.
Obscure information exploded in his mind.,It seems to be the memory of the rain girl.,It also contains a lot of extraordinary information.,A stream of brains is raging in Shiina Kikyo's brain.。
So she looked dazed, and she hadn't figured out her current situation yet.
Then, he saw the young man who had left a deep mark in his heart, and smiled and stretched out his hand to himself.
Is this in a dream?
She couldn't believe it.
Am I not dead?
She remembers this well.
Shiina Kiyo has a hazy and flirtatious affection for Uesugi Kiyoshi.
She is three or four years older than Uesugi Kiyoshi, when she was a child, her family was considered a middle-class family in Kyushu, and then her father went bankrupt and committed suicide to pay debts, and her mother was seriously ill, and she spent almost all of the family's savings, and finally died, leaving only her who had just turned sixteen years old, and came to Tokyo to collect debts with a sister who dragged oil bottles to collect debts.
There are some things that are said and written, but Erer, only when you have really experienced hardship will you know how difficult it is.
Three jobs a day, less than five hours of rest a day, and I have to send my sister to school and be responsible for her three meals a day.
She was not yet twenty years old, and her body was already a little overwhelmed.
In the end, he even had to go to Kabukicho to laugh and drink, and he was worried all day long, because of the nature of his work, he had to be talked about by the gangsters, and even used his hands and feet - if it wasn't for Uesugi Kiyoshi's shot, Shiina Kikyo might have been bullied by those green-skinned gangsters.
The eyes of men looking at her are all lustful and lustful, and the eyes of women looking at her are all disgust and disgust.
In this environment, living for a long time without "degeneration" is enough to make most people respectful.
At least Uesugi Kiyoshi admires it in his heart.
Therefore, when Shiina Kikyo is exhausted, on the way home, he often meets Uesugi Kiyoshi, who is also a part-time worker.
They hadn't spoken much, but the young man's clear eyes were enough to make her feel good.
Especially after Uesugi Kiyoshi heroically saved the United States, it catalyzed this good feeling into a different kind of hazy emotion.
It's just that Shiina Kikyo has low self-esteem, and she is not qualified to have love with this kind of her.
So she chose to leave, so as not to cause trouble to Uesugi Kiyoshi, in her heart, a high school student, to deal with those gangsters, no matter how it is a little too difficult.
And people like her, it doesn't matter if she disappears, right?
After a long time, reunited after a long absence, even if it is a meeting on the verge of death, to be able to express his heart, Shiina Kikyo feels that there is no regret.
But...
Right now...
Doesn't seem right?
I... Not dead?
Shiina Kikyo supported, following an instinctive reaction, and held Uesugi Kiyoshi's hand.
Then, supported by the power of that gentle palm, he staggered to his feet.
Before she could react, Uesugi Kiyoshi began to gush.
"It seems that there is nothing going on, Shingo really has two hits, and it's good that people are fine."
"I asked people to bring Sunflowers home first, you don't have to worry about her, I'll send you to find Sunflowers later, you go and pack up your things together, come to me."
"Wait to come back to Tokyo with me."
He observed his words and looks, and noticed Shiina Kikyo's surprise, so he explained, "You have also seen those beings and powers that are beyond the world. ”
"I might as well say it bluntly, you're not human anymore."
"I don't have that much ability to bring you back from the dead, I'm afraid you'll have to live as a [demon] next."
"In short... You will become an outlier. ”
"Therefore, it is very dangerous for you to live with sunflowers on your own, not to mention ordinary people, there are many of my [peers], who will covet you, and they will want to enslave you, or kill you."
"I'm the one who caused all this, so I'm going to take responsibility."
"I'm not the same as I was at the beginning, I also have a bit of a family property in Tokyo, so I'll raise you and sunflowers."
Uesugi Kiyoshi's smile at this time is extremely warm, and it is more textbook than the warm man in the TV series.
Shiina Kikyo looked at him stunned, and blurted out uncontrollably if he promised.
However, when she saw the apricots nestled in Kiyoshi Uesugi's arms, like sleeping apricots, all her joy dissipated, as if she had been poured a basin of cold water.
Originally...
He's got a girlfriend...
Also.
Such a good person will also have an equally excellent partner.
Thinking so, Shiina Kikyo subconsciously shook his head.
Uesugi Kiyoshi frowned, and his tone was a little anxious.
“...”
"Didn't you understand me? It's going to be dangerous for you to live on your own now. ”
Shiina Kikyo suddenly looked up, his voice a little hoarse, but very resolute.
"Thank you for your kindness, Uesugi-kun... However, it doesn't have to be. ”
"Why do I want you to feed you... It doesn't make sense..."
"Uesugi-kun saved me twice, I'm already grateful, and there is nothing like me that can repay you..."
"Please don't make me owe you any more please, I can't afford it!"
"It's just, if you can, sunflowers... Can I ask you to take care of it? ”
“...”
"I'm sorry, I still want to trouble you when I say that kind of thing, I'm really bad..."
Uesugi Kiyoshi was very puzzled as to why Shiina Kikyo was so stubborn.
He shook his head and didn't give up.
"I didn't help you in return!"
"I can take care of Sunflowers, but what about you, I finally rescued you, do I have to let you be in danger alone?"
"Don't be willful!"
Shiina Kikyo shook slightly, and she was willing to listen to the arrangement of the young man in front of her from the bottom of her heart.
It would be nice to see him more.
But looking at the apricots he was hugging tightly and dressed like a little princess, her heart was extremely gloomy.
After all, you are superfluous.
Looking down, she sighed softly, stubborn.
"No need, Uesugi-kun."
"I don't want to bother you anymore..."
