68. Interlude

Dimly lit room.

The woman was lying on the bed with her hair disheveled and her eyes glazed.

"Again...... It's been a day......"

"Time...... That's fast! ”

The woman got up with a mutter, put on a men's shirt haphazardly, walked to the bathroom, and looked at herself in the mirror.

"Unknowingly...... It's been a year......"

She suddenly hid her face and wept.

She raised her head, and a waterfall-like black hair was scattered on her head, the hair was yellow and rough, and it could be seen that the owner of the hair had not taken care of it for a long time, and it showed a sense of dirtiness.

She carefully picked up the round box that had been placed in the bathroom.

When it opened, a plain white headband lay inside.

She picked it up gently, put it next to her nose and sniffed—

"I miss you so much...... Letter. ”

She choked and put the headband on her head.

This was the first gift she gave her the person she loved the most.

She still remembered that when he first helped him put it on, he was also so careful, for fear that she would be angry.

She smiled suddenly and touched her forehead.

Since they confirmed their relationship, every morning, Shin would put a headband on his own hand and kiss him lightly on the forehead.

And at that time, she would always shyly bury her head in her lover's arms.

Is...... Wonderful youth!

The woman shook her head.

Pity...... That's in the past.

Letter...... He's dead.

The woman took off the headband, she wore the headband herself just because it would be more beautiful, she wanted to show the best side to Uesugi Shin, and now that he was gone, there was no need to put it on anymore.

The woman took care of herself casually, walked out of the bathroom, and looked at everything in front of her.

Everything in this house was chosen by her and Shin together.

They work together to design the renovation plan, design the interior design together, and choose the furniture together......

Every place here carries the incomparably beautiful feelings between her and Xin.

It's a pity......

Why...... Why did you have to leave me so early?

The woman fell to her knees.

"Ding-dong-"

The door opened.

A red-haired girl dressed in a witch costume walked in and said expressionlessly, "Today is my brother's sacrifice day, you hurry up and clean up, I'll be waiting for you at the door in half an hour."

The girl's voice was glutinous, but there was a startling silence and despair.

She looked at the woman on the ground, although she had hated her before for snatching her favorite brother, but over the years, that hatred had dissipated.

Although the person in front of her is a rare personless person, she was once a proud person, and she became a best-selling light novel writer with her own efforts.

Eri remembered the first time she saw her.

At that time, although she always felt lazy and lazy to others, the light in her eyes was stronger than anyone else.

Perhaps, that's why my brother likes her, right?

Eri thought sadly.

If that's the case yourself...... Is it possible to get a brother too?

But now, it's too late to say anything.

My brother is gone.

Over the past year, I have witnessed the woman in front of me change from the original radiant and proud to the current state of decadence and despair.

Now, she has begun to sympathize with her.

Although I am also very powerless.

Thinking of this, the girl's eyes couldn't help but soften a little: "Today is my brother's big day, be happy, so that my brother will be happy for you."

The woman looked at her with a wry smile.

Also...... Today is your big day, be happy.

The woman got up from the ground: "Don't prepare, I'll go with you now."

The girl nodded.

Walking out of the gate, the black-clothed men standing on the side bowed in unison -

"Hello Madame, good Miss."

The two of them walked up to the car door that had been opened for them with expressionless faces.

"Faith, I'm coming for you."

……

The convoy drove to a silent cemetery.

This is the exclusive cemetery of the Uesugi family, where all the heads of the family and those who had great influence on the family are buried.

The woman got out of the car, and the red-haired girl got out of the car.

They came to a stone tablet.

The stele bears a picture of the red-haired boy.

Although it is a black and white photo, you can still see the boy's handsomeness and unique temperament.

The woman sat down on her own.

She remembered the first time she had met Shin, and she had run away from what she had told him.

The first time I went out on a date with him, and then I bumped into other women who were in love with him, and she "heroically" protected him.

Later, he confessed to himself.

In fact, it is a natural relationship, and life has not changed in the slightest after the confession.

The only thing that has changed is the enthusiasm for each other.

Lovers who have just fallen in love are like glue, and they are no exception.

I can't wait to be together every day.

When night fell, they frantically felt the joy and excitement that each other brought to them.

It was the happiest day of her life.

But...... When the body of the letter was laid out in front of her.

She found out as if she was dead.

The heart is dead.

The scene at that time is vivid.

She woke up from nightmares countless times.

Today, she didn't want to be miserable any longer.

She wanted to put an end to this painful experience.

The woman spills wine in front of Nobu Uesugi's grave.

The wine soaked the surrounding grass, and the woman sighed and poured herself a sip of wine.

She turned to the girl behind her and said, "Let's go!"

The girl was silent for a moment.

"Does it really have to be like this?"

"Well, I can't take it anymore." The woman nodded weakly.

"Alright then, I'll go back first."

"Hmm."

The woman turned back and continued to look at the picture on the tombstone.

"Eri Yi." She suddenly stopped her.

"Huh?" The girl looked back in confusion.

"This year...... Thank you. ”

The girl's body paused, and she walked quickly out of the cemetery.

The woman stared at the sky in a daze.

"Letter, I'm coming."

……

Outside the cemetery, the girl looked at the raging fire.

I love my brother so much, and I want to ...... it Let's go!

But no!

He is now the sole ruler of the family.

Before his brother died, he entrusted the family to himself.

Then no matter how desperate it is, fulfill my brother's last wish.

Sometimes, it takes more courage to live than to die.

Eri Yi has always been a well-behaved girl!

PS: Briefly talk about the plot later.

Because my writing is not very good, what I wrote made everyone think that Yukina's plot was very poisonous.

Actually, I didn't really want to write like that.

My original intention was to write that Yukina thought she took off her mask and fell in love with someone else, but when the male protagonist had a showdown, I found out that the male protagonist had been wearing a mask to accommodate her.

After that, it was Yukina who licked the male protagonist, and then gave up for the happiness of the male protagonist.

But ......

Alas~ Don't say it, these plots have been cut by me.

I'll end it as soon as possible.

I don't know how many new characters will be coming out to fill the void......

Tangled.
