"Aren't you sleepy?"

"Sleepy."

Even the answer was weak, yawning, sleepy-eyed, and he told the truth from his body.

"Don't you sleep?"

"Sleep."

Familiar Q&A.

It was a brief conversation similar to the night before, except that at this moment, the two sides switched sides.

"Is there something wrong?"

"Why do you ask?"

While staring at the girl with wide eyes, he asked knowingly.

I want to sleep, but I can't, the pupils surrounded by dark circles reflect the firelight, and the long tongue of fire reads like food for mental recovery.

Those eyes magnified the impression in the pupils, so I was attracted, at first sight.

"That's what your eyes tell me."

The words that I naturally want to say, although I want to say the truth about my own information, but.

When he spoke, he naturally switched to something else, and he didn't make people feel like he was, but only stared at the young man's eyes.

"Is there something wrong?"

"Nope."

"Really?"

"Yes."

The girl is very strange, she always feels light and ethereal when she speaks, but at this moment, her successive inquiries make people realize that only the anger that the girl has begun to grow and accumulate.

Even the anger was strange, and the shaking eyes seemed to be staring at the young man in front of her without a god, but, no, she was staring at him not at him, but behind the young man? Or in front of you? Is it deep darkness? Or a dazzling firelight?

This kind of anger is really strange, as if it unifies all the anger and conceals it.

~~~~~~

呲~

The cacophony of bared teeth was caused by water droplets splashing onto the flames.

The sound raised his gaze, and he closed his eyes and recuperated with his eyes open, reluctantly opening a small slit.

The sudden appearance of smoke on the fire was not the same as the white vapor that came out of his mouth when he spoke, but different, and the boy knew that it was water vapor born from the boiling point.

He stared at the white vapor that had disappeared into the night after moving away from the firelight, but his nostrils twitched slightly, and the light fragrance aroused the desire in his lips and tongue.

"Can I have some tea?"

The wordless silence finally led by the young man bravely asking the girl who exuded an ominous aura.

There was no response, but after a while, a simple water cup was handed out in front of him.

Looking down at the tea, the dark night was not illuminated by the firelight, so that the boy could tell the color of the tea, but it should be green, right?

The water is obtained by collecting the snow that has not yet melted, and the tea leaves are the green plants picked by the young girl who is familiar with the plant on her own initiative.

Obviously, the teenager looks like a weed, but in the end, he is inevitably a little surprised.

The tea leaves were not baked, so the girl simply washed them and boiled them with the snow water, which was more like making soup than making tea.

"The tea is hot."

The voice ringing in my ears was a reminder from the girl, cold and indifferent, unremarkable.

Some of them care, maybe they want more changes, at least more popularity.

After thinking about it a lot, when the reason was still worried about the safety of the tea, the body couldn't resist the temptation to bow its head and drink.

And then.

Frown.

Plain and bland tea, said to be tasteless? Or should I say it's too light.

The reason why he frowned he felt deceived the taste of the tea was obviously far from the expectation given by the elegant fragrance but, thinking like this, the frowning brows quickly disappeared perhaps.

It's never a big difference, it's supposed to be similar.

Self-righteous thinking about perfection, but forgetting that reality is never a fantasy.

Therefore, I drank it like this, tasteless tea.

Teenagers and girls shared the vigil while drinking the nameless hot tea that was so hot that it numbed the tongue.

I think.

In this idle winter wilderness, this hot tea is actually very delicious.

~~~~~~

"So. I asked directly, what is the situation on your side, Hinata. It's almost time to find a reliable object. ”

The night was getting deeper.

It happened that there was no one around, and the boy suddenly asked something very remarkable.

"Whew, it's really a moment to get to the point. You say that, are you already found? ”

"No comment. It's also a secret here until Hinata confesses. So, how's it going. Look at your tired face and seem to have a clue? ”

The topic that the boy and girl suddenly mentioned was in an unexpected direction at the beginning.

In other words, if the girl is silent and does not answer at first, will the topic continue? No one knows anymore.

"There's no comment here, but I'll be seen through if I hide it from you anyway. It's a pity that there isn't one here. What about you? They don't have much time to spare, do they? ”

"That's true, but I'm not going well. I'd like to make an easy choice, but it depends on the situation, right? It's about the fate of the future, and you can't compromise on it."

The topics that the teenager and girl were chatting about seemed to be too far beyond the age of the two, but they were connected exceptionally smoothly.

Sure enough, everything got weird.

Is it the boy's very different behavior at the moment and usual, or Hinata Yuki, who is blind to this?

"Hmm. Simple decision to lose to me, don't want to? ”

"Of course. The important thing for me is to beat you. What you give, or what you get, comes second. ”

Hmph, the boy smiled fearlessly.

~~~~~~

The tea has been drunk, and the small amount was originally prepared by Hinata Snow for herself.

"Alas. We're like that. ”

She said with emotion, the length of the pause, and the loss of her head lowering her head, she was remembering the past.

"When we first met, you told me about our relationship."

"Are you saying that you thank me for going out of your way to talk to an idiot like you?"

"Don't be too impressed, at that time, I really just stumbled upon a lonely little guy."

Excellent women, a talented family, and a clear difference in hierarchy, no matter what point of view, Hinata Yuki's school life is not as fulfilling as anyone thinks.

At least.

She has no friends.

Meantime.

Maybe only Mitarai can barely be counted as her friend.

"As you said, if we don't compete with each other everywhere, there will be no friendship."

"I forgot."

Listening to the wording of the inexplicable mood and tone change, the young man was a little cheeky and told that he had lost his memory.

"Really? So why did you suddenly bring up the topic you just talked about? ”

"You should have forgotten."

"Okay, I remember."

The questioning words made the boy change the lie.

"So, the reason or something, because, I see that you are now, you are today, and you are different from you [in the past] any day."

Suddenly becoming serious, he stared at the girl.

I want to forget, but I don't actually forget.

Promises are once beautiful, so there is only one thing that can be clear.

If I take a step back here, then all the important vows and covenants of the past will disappear, and I will never be able to return here.

"It was sudden, but I wanted to redefine our relationship."

"I and you will definitely have a relationship between killing and not killing."
