From the very beginning, Yanagihara had already considered that the flying machine, called Joshua, might be very worn.

But it wasn't until she got closer that she realized that she had overestimated Joel and York's ability to maintain them.

There is a slight rust on almost every part.

It's hard to imagine anyone wanting to take to the skies in this thing.

After all, no matter how you look at it, the success rate of this plan is quite low.

Placing his hand on Joshua's shell, Yanagihara quietly felt the past it had experienced.

This kind of thing can still stand here, it's already a kind of attachment.

Slowly, Yanagihara's mood changed a little, from admiring the courage of the teenagers to worrying about their innocence.

How can it be so easy to fly into space?

If it's not really hopeless, how can a greenhouse give up.

"Yanagihara." At this time, Jasmine, who was standing on the side, asked in confusion, "What are you doing?" ”

"Oh, nothing." Yanagihara, who had come to his senses, withdrew his hand, and by this time, Joel and York had climbed the high scaffolding and started their day's work in the cold wind.

"It's just, Jasmine, I have a question for you."

Looking up at the two teenagers, Yanagihara suddenly said loudly.

"What's the problem?" Jasmine looked at Yanagihara with a somewhat dazed expression.

"Do you really believe that Joel and York will go into space?" Yanagihara asked.

Listening to Yanagihara's question, Jasmine was stunned for a moment.

It wasn't until halfway through the ring that she turned to a smile, nodded and said, "I believe it." ”

"Why?" Yanagihara asked again, puzzled.

"There's no why." Jasmine gave an affirmative answer: "Just because from childhood to adulthood, as long as it is something that Joel and York want to do, they will definitely be able to do it." ”

"This thing may not be the same as the previous ones."

Yanagihara reminded him relatively tactfully.

"What's the difference?"

But listening to Jasmine's rhetorical question, Yanagihara couldn't give an answer.

I had no choice but to fall silent again, silently looking at the two teenagers who were crawling into the sky, thinking about what the problem was.

"I'm also confident that they'll succeed." At this time, Al, who was still standing in the snow and taking pictures, also suddenly said something.

Seeing Yanagihara looking at him suspiciously.

She explained, "Because I saw something in them that was very similar to De Rosso and Sister Liz, and De Rosso and Sister Liz could succeed, so they must be able to succeed too." ”

"Really?" Listening to this childish answer, Yanagihara was stunned for a moment, and then smiled inexplicably and nodded in affirmation.

"Makes sense."

"Really?" Al laughed as well, looked up, and took another picture of Joel and York.

And Grandpa Aztod will definitely want them to succeed too.

The girl thought so, even though she didn't understand what the teenagers were going to do, and she didn't understand what it would cost to do so.

But she knew that she saw in them something that only someone who would succeed would have.

It was an awakening, and Yanagihara knew what El was trying to say.

That's the kind of consciousness that can give everything.

She had this kind of realization, until she lost everything.

Whether the teenagers will succeed or not, Yanagihara is still unsure, but she can be sure that their hearts should have been deep in that space for a long time.

This can be seen in their eyes.

They all have a pair of shining eyes, comparable to the sun in the sky, enough to reflect the bright moon.

"I've gone up up to help, Jasmine, and I'll take care of Al." Yanagihara said this and set off to climb the scaffold.

"Okay." Jasmine replied without hesitation.

But looking at Al who was running around the base, she still wiped the non-existent sweat on her forehead and thought.

Can I really take a good look at her?

Obviously it looks like she should be a pretty quiet girl, but why did she suddenly become so lively.

Al is very serious when he works, and this is also learned from Yanagihara.

She has already thought that she wants to take all the photos here, and then tell everyone she meets in the future this story about stars and teenagers.

In this way, the agreement with Joel is completed.

She believed that the day the story spread throughout the ice fields, Joel would be glad to have hired her for the job.

On the scaffolding, Yanagihara helps the teenagers carry out today's plan.

As she repaired Joshua, she gradually learned something from the boys' mouths.

That is, there are technical problems about this flying machine, in fact, most of them have been solved by the greenhouse and their parents.

All the teenagers have to do is assemble and debug. But even if it's just such a thing, it can't be said to be easy.

They have been spending years on this thing since the day they studied their parents' notes.

What is unimaginable is their persistence, and even more unimaginable, is the trust they have in their parents.

Because only trust can make them make the decision to sail, because only trust can make them believe that everything they are doing today is meaningful.

It is undeniable that the day when children can understand their parents may be the day they grow up.

Both Joel and York are mature, and their plans to fly into space are not decisions made on a whim.

At this time, Yanagihara had already confirmed their determination.

The work continued until six o'clock in the afternoon, when the sky on the ice field was about to completely lose its light, and Yanagihara and the two teenagers stepped down from the scaffolding.

It must be admitted that Yanagihara's strength is very strong, which has accelerated the progress of the work a lot.

Seeing that it was getting late, the group of five was ready to return to the tribe.

Just before they were about to leave the base, York, who had been silent, suddenly called out to Yanagihara and asked.

"Will you come again next time?"

"Of course, as long as you don't refuse." Yanagihara spread his palms and opened his mouth in response.

Looking at her calm appearance, a smile finally appeared on York's face.

"Well, my name is York, his name is Joel, and the girl's name is Jasmine, and it's nice to meet you."

"Hmm." Listening to York's self-introduction, Yanagihara also laughed.

"We're glad to meet you, too."

In this still cold winter.

On this snowy night that is still silent.
