Curled up in a small tree hole, he walked out of the cave after treating the burns for Mitarai, and went deep into the rainy night, in order not to become the prey of others inexplicably, he had to do the necessary warning work.

In the hollow of the tree where he left on a winter night, Mitarai fell asleep due to his injury, and Hinata Yuki, who was leaning against the wall, opened his eyes at this moment, and felt the darkness of all this.

Her injury is more troublesome than Mitarai, although the left shoulder was bandaged after the bleeding stopped, but the bitterness happened to pierce the position of the pipa bone, so the pain is unavoidable, and in the next assessment, it may not be able to exercise.

When the flames squeezed the darkness into the corner, the winter night returned.

As the night before, they brought back soaked wood and food for the night.

The wood can be used at least to the extent that it can be used under the fire ninjutsu and extravagant baking, and the carcass of the wild boar brought back is used in the winter night to make a simple treatment in the winter night, and the night dinner is made.

Time passed, and by the time Mitarai woke up from the gluttonous worms in his stomach that had been aroused by the fragrance, how long had it been?

"Is dinner ready?"

The hoarse tone is a double blow to fatigue and injury.

"Should you say you have a good nose? Or did you wake up just in time! ”

In place of Hinatayuki, who has always been able to say similar words, Winter Night cut off a piece of roast meat from the boar's leg, and didn't plan to move, and threw it directly at Mitarai,

"Thanks!"

He took the barbecue steadily, and then immersed himself in the delicious taste of the meat, but at first said a word of thanks.

"Being said like this by you, it feels bad for the whole person!"

"And then."

After complaining, Winter Night got up and took another piece of barbecue that had been cut off, walked a few steps, and handed it to Hinata Yuki, who was squatting on the ground.

"Thank you!"

Is it because of blood loss? The face was much paler than usual.

The three people who solved the dinner, Mitarai and Hinata Yuki, because of their injuries, were able to enjoy the treatment of being injured as a matter of course.

At night, alone, winter nights have become accustomed to such situations, at most, when they are bored, they will find something to do for themselves.

For example, now, the short knife with a faint blue light in his hand, its light weight, the speed of its shot, and its sharp double blades will be one of the ways to harvest life.

Swirling between the palm and the back of the hand, the blue glow of the blade traces an incredible trajectory in the darkness.

For this trophy, even after more than two months, Winter Night is still learning to adapt to it, and he will always repeat this action every night, just like a lover will not treat it coldly.

"Don't want to sleep yet?"

The scene that we were accustomed to in the past has an extra audience member tonight.

"I'm sorry!"

A woman's voice, in this team, can only be one person, of course, even if it doesn't need to be, you can make a judgment.

"Why apologize?"

Facing the world outside the tree hole, he didn't plan to turn around, because the other party may be more accustomed to talking in this way, as a "gentle" man, he at least has such an awareness!

"Because of me, Mitarai gets hurt! If I hadn't been sluggish for my own reasons, if I had reacted in time! He wouldn't have been hurt! “

The sound of the rain has a tendency to weaken, so that the other party's words can be very soft and quiet, just to reach the ears of the winter night.

"Of course, I will not deny the other consequences of this, and even the worst possible is that we will all die there! In short, everything! ”

"It's all my fault!"

"Really? That's what you think! ”

To her "self-righteous" statement, Winter Night reacted flatly.

"If you feel guilty, I shouldn't be the one who should apologize, right?"

"Why don't you tell him personally, do you want to convey such a thing to you through me?"

Every word she said left time for her to react, but in the end, she repeated the silence.

"You're the worst!"

"The worst, the most timid woman, and one day, you should regret it!"

Winter Night didn't want to interfere with her thoughts, but she couldn't help but want to make an evaluation.

"It has nothing to do with it!"

"Why doesn't it matter!"

Annoyed and angry? Winter Night's voice was inexplicably raised, although there was no intention of questioning, but the tone was inevitably sharper.

Just as you want to know what kind of person Rukawa Winter Night is, there will be people who want to try to understand what kind of person Hinata Snow will be! ”

"Do you want to know?"

"What I know about Hinata Yuki!"

He said this, his eyes fixed on Hinata Yuki, as he said, as if he wanted to see through everything about her.

"I don't want to!"

"Self-righteous, self-conscious, you're such a woman!"

Refused!

In a sense, ignoring the other party's answer, Winter Night will be his opinion!

What you think of Hinata Yuki, say it!

"Do you think your apology will change anything?"

"What's the point of apologizing if it can't be changed!"

"It doesn't make sense!"

"Don't do things that don't make sense!"

"And the person who would do such a thing, you, are just a self-righteous guy!"

"How angry you should be to take everything on yourself and take all the blame for yourself."

"If that's the case, I also think that the defeat I am facing today is my personal and arbitrary mistake!"

He said this, and he used to think like this, if at that time!

"I should have chosen to continue running away instead of judging the progress of the battle! Maybe without my choice, everything would have been different, he wouldn't have been hurt, you wouldn't have almost died, and I wouldn't have been here to listen to your boring stories. ”

"But I won't apologize to you!"

"I'll regret it, but since we're all alive, I'll just move on instead of dwelling on what has passed."

He didn't turn around, he didn't go to his curiosity, he didn't look at what kind of expression she would have at this moment.

"I'm scared!"

"I'm afraid of death! At that moment, I almost died, and that's why I realized that even as a ninja, I hadn't let go of my fears! ”

"I'm glad!"

"I'm glad I'm alive! I'm glad we're alive! But the thought that it all would be due to my own mistakes! I'm going to worry, I'm afraid you'll hate me because of it! ”

"I ·····"

Choked voice, words became indistinct, the tone was chopped, did she cry? Winter Nights may never find the answer to this question! His reserve allowed him to stick to his ideas.

"You're just an ordinary ninja, and before you became a ninja, you were just an ordinary person!"

"People are afraid, death! No one is not afraid! ”

"So, the emotions you have as a human being are not a reason for you to apologize!"
