The next day, the news that Miss Rokuchi gave birth to her second daughter and Sata's younger sister came, and it was Miss Rokuchi's mother who brought the news. She came to the door early in the morning, knocked on the door, informed her mother, who was making breakfast, and left.

When it was time for breakfast, my mother told us the news, and then looked at the empty space next to me in confusion and asked me, "Ori, why hasn't the yarn gotten up today?" ”

After Sasha came to the house, she would get up early every morning, and then help her mother make breakfast and do the housework, which has not changed for so many days. And today at this point, she didn't show up, and it was natural for my mother to feel strange and worried.

Being asked like this, I subconsciously looked at the right hand side with a dazed and sleepy face, her petite body swayed, as if she was going to rely on her own efforts to get through the effects of low blood sugar in the morning, but willpower could not overcome the instinct of the body, and she was almost about to fall.

Last night, in order to take care of the yarn, she slept directly in the yarn's room at night, and now only she knows the condition of the yarn clearly. But judging from the current situation, it is obviously impossible to get an answer from her mouth.

I couldn't stand her staggering and dangerous look, so I had to pull her, so she leaned on my shoulder and muttered indistinctly: "Fold it, ...... Just ...... at once"

"Speaking of which, I didn't see the yarn when I came back last night, and she doesn't usually go to bed so early. Fold, to be honest, is the yarn sick? ”

Seeing that I didn't answer, my father followed up with an inquiry. He had a worried expression, almost like Sacai was his beloved daughter.

"Well, she said yesterday that she was a little dizzy, and she went back to her room to sleep when she got home."

My parents looked worried, but I didn't know anything about the yarn for the time being, so I had to hide it with vague words.

"Fold, this kind of thing should have been told to us last night. Forget it, I'll go take a look at the yarn. ”

The mother put down her chopsticks and stood up with a sigh, intending to go to Sa's room. I was about to stop it, but my right arm hurt, and when I looked down, I found that Jing was pinching my right arm, shaking my head with misty eyes, and spitting out an indistinct voice: "No...... It's okay. ”

When she said this, I let go of my worries and continued to habitually use one hand for breakfast—my right hand was often held quietly, and then my left hand became more and more flexible, whether it was chopsticks, pens, or other things, I could use it as flexibly as my right hand. Of course, I can't talk about being left-handed, I still use my right hand in normal times, and I still haven't been able to get rid of the shackles of ordinary people's sharp hand.

When the last bowl of miso soup was in my stomach, I handed Jing a cup of warm water mixed with sugar, and she took a bite to drink the water, finally getting rid of the low blood sugar in the morning and starting to cope with breakfast. At this time, there were two different footsteps at the staircase, one large and one small, which made people feel at ease.

I stacked the empty plates in a stack and looked up at the door, and when Sana's usual figure appeared in the doorway, I greeted her with the usual smile: "Good morning, Sa." ”

"早 (おは; oha）。 ”

Jing lazily lowered her head and played with the vegetable salad on the plate with chopsticks, she spit out a greeting missing syllables without raising her head, and then in disgust she tossed aside the fuchsia onion strips mixed with the vegetable salad, and raised her head a little unhappily to her mother who walked to her side and asked, "Why are there onions in today's salad?" It disappeared some time ago. ”

"Say hello."

Mother tapped on her head, then sighed, "Jing, it's not okay to be such a picky eater, these onions must be eaten." Also, the reason why I didn't have it some time ago is because the yarn specially helped you make it without onions. ”

"Oh."

Jing turned her head and nodded at Sa, who was standing timidly at the door: "Sa, thank you." ”

"Uncle and aunt, Sister Jing, fold, good morning."

Just like the first day she came home, Sa's attitude became restrained again. Whenever I looked at her, her gaze would dodge, as if she was concerned about yesterday's events.

"Yarn, good morning."

The father also noticed her restraint, and then raised his hand in greeting with some embarrassment, but he felt that it was inappropriate, and put it down halfway. This move made the atmosphere a little subtle, and the yarn lowered her head, but only responded with "En", but did not make any movement.

"Yarn, don't stand there, come and have breakfast."

To ease her mood, I waved at her, pretending not to remember what happened yesterday: "Wait a minute, we're going to go to Mika and apologize to them, we left without informing them yesterday." Mamura and Rina are fine, and Mika will definitely get angry, so I have to apologize to her. ”

"Yes, I have to apologize."

Perhaps sensing my attitude, Sata finally raised her head, her lips curled, and she walked over to me and sat down. I looked sideways at her and noticed that her pretty red hair was a little wrinkled, so I found a wooden half-moon comb and combed her hair.

Her shoulders stiffened a little at first, but after a while they relaxed. I didn't mention that she had an extra sister for the time being, but just casually gossiped: "Yarn, when the results of today's competition come out, how many do you think we will be?" ”

"First...... Well, third. ”

She was apparently going to say first at first, but quickly changed her tune.

"Meijia also said that we will be the first, maybe we will actually win the championship. It takes a little faith and dreams. ”

"Do you want to win the championship?"

"Of course it's good to be able to get it, but there's no need to be frustrated if you can't get it, anyway, we had a lot of fun in this competition, and that's the point - of course it's the best to get it, after all, the champion has a prize and a team medal, and the rest is only a consolation reward."

"Mika said that the prize for the champion this time will be a glass model of the ice city that Mr. Kazuki personally shaped with his magic power, and it must be very beautiful."

"With Mr. Kadoki's ability, you may be able to see the lines on the building."

……

While I was chatting with Sa, my parents also whispered:

"Zhiye, do you think it's a little strange how the yarn looks today? Did you ask her what was wrong with her? It doesn't look like it's sick. ”

"I asked, but the kid didn't want to say, I touched her forehead, and I didn't catch a cold."

"That's really strange, I'm embarrassed to speak like this now, is it to make her angry? It doesn't look like it. ”

"You don't need to think so much, let the children handle their own affairs."

"Shall we, then, go out first?"

……

Father and mother quickly went out and Jing finished eating what she could eat, and then stared at the remaining onions on the plate in a daze. After a while, she dropped the sentence "Fold it, help me solve the rest", and ran upstairs with a snap.

There were only two people left in the living room, Sa, and I focused on combing Sa's hair, while Saya ate her breakfast slowly, and there was still more than half of the food left on the small plate, and when Jing went upstairs, she put down her chopsticks and remained motionless like a doll that had lost power: "Fold ...... Don't want to ask something? ”

In fact, I had a lot of questions I wanted to ask, but none of them were timely, and Yarn wouldn't necessarily want to answer them. It is annoying to stab someone else in the heart in order to satisfy their curiosity and to do something in the name of care or worry.

"Yarn, do you remember the two words you said to me? The word is that I don't lie to you, and if there is something that can't be said to you, then it's good to be silent; The other sentence is that I don't want to explain to you perfunctorily, what you want to hear is from the heart. ”

I combed the red hair in my hand, put down the comb and walked to the opposite side of the table, that is, the position of my parents, and sat down cross-legged, trying to keep my expression as natural as possible to make myself appear sincere: "Sha, if I ask you about yesterday at this time, you will definitely be unhappy." So like you, if you hadn't decided to talk to me from the bottom of your heart, then I wouldn't have asked, I wouldn't have thought about it, as if nothing had happened yesterday. And if you don't want to say it, then it's good to keep silent, and you don't need to worry about what I think. ”

"That's not right...... That's not true. ”

Sha bit her lower lip lightly and shook her head stubbornly: "If you ask, I will tell everything." But I won't say it anyway. Because I can't make such a decision on my own. I don't want to be perfunctory, I don't want to deceive Fold, I want to talk to Fold, but I'm afraid...... I didn't know what to do, but I wanted to ask me in my heart. ”

"Then ......"

I opened my mouth to say, "Then please tell me everything", but subconsciously suppressed my voice, and realized that I was facing a choice that might not be an easy quiz game, but an extremely heavy choice, and perhaps some responsibility that could not be relieved.

Saina's expectant, panicked gaze told me that she had put in my hands the right to decide her own destiny, and that I had what it took to bear that choice?
