Group photo on the Tembo Deck with Tokyo at dusk in the background.

Looking out over the glass cloister, I watched the orange-red clouds gradually dim.

When the color of the sky turned gray, Eiri Riri, who felt a little hungry, took Tetsuya Ayakoji to the restaurant downstairs to eat.

There are no candles, and no overly intimate words.

Most of the time, Yingli is practicing the rule of "sleeping without saying anything, eating without speaking".

After the meal, with the idea that since they had come, they would have to go all the way, and they bought tickets for the Tenwang Corridor.

Starting from the 445th floor, follow the spiral corridor upwards to reach the end of the tour.

Tetsuya Ayakoji also looked at the time, eight twenty-one.

After coming down from the Skytree, it's almost time to say goodbye.

Nor can the show last forever.

What's more, the acting skills of the two of them today are too clumsy.

Along the way, Tetsuya Ayakoji kept looking behind him, but he didn't find anyone worth noting.

Either the friend Ying Li Li said has left, or Ying Li Li Li was just making excuses in the first place.

Tetsuya Ayakoji is also more inclined to the latter.

But either way, it doesn't matter.

"The Sumida River is as black as oil." Ying Lili suddenly spoke.

“……”

Tetsuya Ayakoji turned his head.

Tokyo at night is lit up with thousands of homes.

Like a dense cluster of stars piled up in one place, the orange-red lights on the banks of the Sumida River are connected, cutting the entire view in half.

The Sumida River, a little up, reflects the bright white light, and if you don't look closely, it really looks like quiet oil.

Like an image, it does not prevent this adjective from revealing a sense of weirdness.

Ying Li Li said again, "Let's go back after seeing the Skytree." ”

She stood at the edge of the cloister, looking down at the earth beneath her feet, not the slightest fear.

It is in stark contrast to the tourists around who are about to shiver after walking two steps.

If that's the end of it......

Tetsuya Ayakoji also felt that everything was normal, but it seemed that something was missing.

At least, although he didn't expect anything to happen, in Ying Liri's vision, things shouldn't be like this, right?

When he was about to reach the end of the corridor, Tetsuya Ayakoji suddenly stopped the silent Eiri Pear.

"Ying Lili, wait a minute."

Ying Li Li stopped, she turned around, and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?" ”

"May I ask you a question?"

The corridor is all the way up, and at this time, Tetsuya Ayakoji's line of sight is just at the level of Yingli Riri.

Don't overdo it.

She whispered, "If you have anything to say, I'll ask in the email when I get back." ”

"You can also ask now."

"It's okay to go back and ask." Eiri Ri looked at Tetsuya Ayakoji dissatisfied.

Ayakoji Tetsuya also hesitated for a moment, but continued: "Since this is the case, then I will ask directly, the friend you are talking about doesn't actually exist, right?" ”

Sure enough, that's the problem.

Ying Lili snorted, turned around directly, and walked out of the corridor: "You guessed wrong, she just went home now, after all, it's more than eight o'clock in the evening." ”

“……”

Ayakoji Tetsuya also hurriedly chased after him.

"Okay." He said, "Then I'll put it another way." It's not that my friend doesn't exist at all, it's just that she's someone I know. ”

Ying Li Li was a little flustered, and she hurriedly explained: "Don't talk nonsense, she is really someone you don't know, because she wasn't in Tokyo before." ”

"Really?" Tetsuya Ayakoji asked rhetorically.

"Of course it's true."

"Oh." Tetsuya Ayakoji nodded, "But hasn't Kasumigaoka Shiha-senpai always lived in Tokyo?" ”

"She didn't ...... before"

As she spoke, Ying Lili stopped talking.

Because Tetsuya Ayakoji has already said that name.

"I just accidentally said it too quickly."

"No need to quibble." Tetsuya Ayakoji said.

Ying Lili said angrily: "Did Kasumigaoka Shiyu tell you secretly? ”

Tetsuya Ayakoji shook her head: "Isn't it easy to guess." ”

Ying Lili was silent.

Originally, yes.

After all, Kasumigaoka Shiyu made a lot of efforts in the middle.

She smiled awkwardly, but the smile quickly faded again.

"So, what are you going to do with that?" Ying Lili said coldly.

“……”

Do what?

Tetsuya Ayakoji also opened his mouth and didn't speak.

He couldn't give Ying Lili what he wanted.

It seems that nothing has been done, but it has made Ying Lili even more unhappy.

Rather than that, it's better to say nothing at first.

"I'm sorry."

Ying Lili said: "You don't need to say sorry, you didn't do anything wrong in the first place, I was wrong." ”

Ying Li Li stopped talking.

She walked silently to the spot where she could see the Sumida River.

The river below is really as heavy as oil.

Even the surrounding tourists were affected by the strange atmosphere of the two of them.

Do couples quarrel?

Tetsuya Ayakoji also thought about the incident when she came out of Eiriri's house that day.

The atmosphere was exactly the same as it was then.

Until I got down from the Skytree, nothing had changed.

Even after getting in the car, it's still like that.

In the bustling crowd, Ying Li Li seemed to be the most unsociable person.

When she got off the train, Tetsuya Ayakoji followed.

"What are you going to do?"

Ying Lili asked with a cold face.

"You may not be very concerned, but I'm going to say I'm sorry to you." Tetsuya Ayakoji said.

“……”

"I think it's better to say some things directly."

"So what are you going to say?"

Tetsuya Ayakoji said, "If I hadn't met Senpai at the end of March, many things would have been different. ”

The complexion of the pear changes slightly.

"Do you admit that you like Kasumigaoka Shiha?"

Tetsuya Ayakoji nodded: "Although I didn't understand my inner thoughts at first, after so many entanglements, I gradually understood. ”

"That's really gratifying."

Ying Lili smiled bitterly.

"I'm sorry." Tetsuya Ayakoji said, "I didn't want to pierce a wound on you, but I think it's better to have a short pain than a long ......one."

Ying Lili nodded: "Hmm." ”

The wind blew, and she paused for a long time.

And he said, "Is what you just said true?" ”

"Every sentence is true."

Ying Lili lowered her head, and after a long time, a smile suddenly appeared on her face.

"It's a shame." Ying Li Li said, "If only I could ...... it sooner Actually, it's my problem, no, it's still your problem. ”

Ying Lili said in annoyance: "Who called you such an inconspicuous ...... at the beginning?"

Because, that was before the accident.

People are also not always static, especially during the formative years.

There are a lot of things that Ayakoji Tetsu doesn't know either.

But he at least knew that Ying Lili's smile at this time was not pretending.
