After a day of shopping outside, it was time for the sun to set.

On the chairs on the side of the road, the four girls sat together, while Chu Yue, Woe Lingmeng, and Okazaki Tomoya stood next to them—the four girls were already crowded on a bench.

Everyone still had an ice cream in their hands, which they had just bought from an ice cream snack across the road.

"Today, I had a great time." Nagisa Furukawa licked the ice cream and said with a smile.

"yes." Scourge Dream smiled and nodded. In fact, Calamity Dream bought a lot of clothes, and Chu Yue put them in the gods.

"yes, it's a pleasure, if it weren't for my money." Chu Yue said with a smile.

The cost of seven people...... Actually, that's not too much. The pile of clothes that Scourge Dream bought, and half of it was enough for everyone to spend.

"What are you afraid of, let the minister apply for funding!" Fujibayashi said immediately.

"Sister, that's not good." Fujibayashi starling said.

"I don't think it'...... good either," said Nagisa Furukawa, "that, the funds, should be used in the club......

"Aren't we in the community now?" Fujibayashi Xing spread out her hand and said, "This is also a club activity, right?" ”

Because the matter of buying clothes in the dream of the evil spirit couldn't be said clearly, Chu Yue complained in her heart: apply for a 50,000 yen long dress for club activities...... Can you believe it?

At this time, Tomoya Okazaki seemed to notice that Kotomi Ichinose had been keeping her head down and not speaking, and asked, "Kotomi-chan, what's wrong?" ”

"It's fine." Kotomi Ichinose looked at Tomoya Okazaki with a smile.

After eating the ice cream, the sun had completely set, so everyone was ready to go home.

Because Kotomi Ichinose's house and Furukawa's family were not on the way, at a crossroads, everyone separated, and Tomoto Okazaki went to send Kotomi Ichinose home, while Hatsuki and the others went to Furukawa Bakery.

After the weekend.

Chu Yue and the others naturally went to school as usual. But on the way to school today, I encountered an unexpected thing.

A bus was involved in a car accident at an intersection......

After the car accident, Chu Yue and the others happened to pass by. Because they saw a group of people gathered together, everyone asked the people around them to find out what was going on.

After inquiry, I found out that fortunately, the bus had to be repaired because of some faults, so it was not carried, and the driver was only slightly injured, so everyone was relieved.

At this time, two people came over, it was Tomoya Okazaki and Kotomi Ichinose.

"Yo, good morning." Tomo Okazaki also said to everyone.

"Good morning." Nagisa Furukawa said.

"We're all going to school together." Chu Yue smiled and said, "When are you going to get married?" ”

"Say, what are you talking about......" Tomoya Okazaki immediately blushed, but immediately recovered, changed the subject and asked, "What's going on here?" ”

"As you can see, a car accident." Fujibayashi said, "And it's a bus." ”

"What?" Tomo Okazaki was also a little surprised and said, "I didn't expect it to happen around me...... Has anyone been hurt? ”

"The bus wasn't carrying people, so no passengers were injured." Fujibayashi also explained, "It's just that the drivers on both sides seem to have suffered a little bit of minor injuries, but there are already police officers who are adjusting." ”

"Whew, that's good." Tomoya Okazaki said with a sigh of relief.

However, it was at this time......

Kotomi Ichinose looked at the scene of the car accident in front of her, and suddenly fell to her knees with her eyes blank, and then choked loudly and cried loudly.

"Kotomi-chan! What happened to you?! Okazaki Peng, who had been talking to Chu Yue and the others without noticing the condition of Kotomi Ichinose beside him, also quickly helped Kotomi Ichinose up, and asked a little overwhelmed.

"Take it." Chu Yue gave the schoolbag to Calamity Spirit, and then walked over quickly.

"Take it!" Calamity Spirit Dream also threw all his schoolbag and Chu Yue's schoolbag to Furukawa Nagisa and walked over together.

Nagisa Furukawa took the schoolbags of the two of them and ran over with the Fujibayashi sisters.

"Tomoya, let me see." Chu Yue said.

Okazaki Peng also knew that Chu Yue was a doctor, so he got out of the way.

Helping Ichinose Kotomi look at it, and also check the pulse, Chu Yue said: "Strange ......"

"How's it going?" Tomoya Okazaki asked immediately.

"There is no problem...... Chu Yue said, "There is nothing wrong with the body, but the mental state is ...... Very bad, was there anything wrong with her before she came today? ”

"No, when I came here, I suddenly ......," said Tomoya Okazaki.

"It seems that it was this car accident that reminded her of something very painful." Chu Yue said, "Help her go to the health room to rest first!" Since there is no problem, let's take a break and let her stabilize her mood. ”

"I'll carry her!" Tomo Okazaki also volunteered.

"Hmm." Chu Yue nodded.

Tomoya Okazaki squatted down, picked up Kotomi Ichinose, and walked towards the school. Because I was concerned about the condition of Kotomi Ichinose, everyone followed along.

When I arrived at the health room of the hospital, the teacher in the health room listened to Chu Yue's description, and didn't ask too much, and directly let Kotomi Ichinose lie on the bed and rest.

At this time, it was almost time for class, and everyone was going to class. However, Chu Yue said that it was not a big deal, which reassured everyone a lot.

After retrieving his schoolbag from Nagisa Furukawa, Chu Yue glared at the Evil Spirit Dream and returned to the classroom with Fujibayashi Starling and Okazaki Tomoya.

As soon as he came to the classroom, Yohei Haruhara beckoned to this side: "Yo! Good morning, Okazaki, Chu Yue, you guys came so late today. ”

As for the rattan starling, it was automatically ignored by Yohei Haruhara.

However, Fujibayashi starling didn't care, her seat was far away, and after entering the classroom, she was separated from Chu Yue and Okazaki Peng.

Tomoya Okazaki's mind was full of Kotomi Ichinose, and he completely ignored Yohei Haruhara, and stopped talking after sitting in his seat.

"What's wrong?" Haruhara Yohei saw that something was wrong with Okazaki and asked Chu Yue.

"Something happened to his horse." Chu Yue said directly.

"What? When was this? Yohei Haruhara asked in surprise.

"This morning." Chu Yue said.

"Really......" Haruhara Yohei thought for a moment, then said, "Wait...... When did Okazaki get a horse? ”

"Well, I don't know when the relationship between the two of them was so good." Chu Yue said.

"No wonder I haven't seen you much after school lately......" Haruhara Yohei seemed to be talking to himself, but immediately asked again, "Are you okay?" ”

"It shouldn't be fine, just rest and rest." Chu Yue said.

"Okay, it's fine." Yohei Haruhara said, looked at Tomoya Okazaki, and didn't say anything more.

Okazaki Peng also seemed to have completely forgotten the environment around him, and when class ended, he was woken up by Chu Yue.

"Let's go to the infirmary." Chu Yue said.

"Good!" Tomoya Okazaki stood up and said.

"I'll go too!" Fujibayashi starling also said.

When I got to the health room, I didn't see Kotomi Ichinose.

"Teacher, where's Kotomi Ichinose?" Chu Yue went to ask the teacher in the health room.

"The kid woke up halfway through and said he was okay and left." The teacher at the clinic said, "I thought she seemed to be recovering, so I let her go." ”

"What?! How can you ......" Tomoya Okazaki was immediately a little excited, but he was immediately stopped by the Fujibayashi starling.

"I'm sorry......" Tomoto Okazaki also realized his gaffe and apologized.

"If you go back...... Tomoya, let's go to Class E to have a look. Chu Yue said.

The three of them came to the third grade class A again.

"Excuse me, is Kotomi Ichinose-san here?" Chu Yue asked a student in Class A.

"Ichinose-san, Ichinose-san, I'm in this class." The student replied, "However, she doesn't usually come to the classroom, after all, she is a genius girl!" ”

Chu Yue patted her head: "That's right!" I forgot! ”

Tomoya Okazaki turned around and walked to the other side.

"Okazaki-san!" The vine starling hurriedly chased after him.

"Thank you." Chu Yue thanked the student, and then turned around and chased after him.

"Okazaki-san, where are you going?" Fujibayashi asked.

"Library!" Tomoya Okazaki replied.

Kotomi Ichinose doesn't usually come to class, but goes to the library to read books.

When he arrived at the door of the library, Tomoya Okazaki quickly opened the door, and then ran to the place where Kotomi Ichinose usually was—the place where Kotomi Ichinose was eating together.

However, this place, there is no one either.

There weren't many people in the entire library, and Kotomi Ichinose wasn't here.

"Huh? Not here either? "Where did that go?" ”

"Let's go back to the classroom first." Chu Yue said, "It's almost class, I'll ask the teacher after class." ”

"......" Tomoto Okazaki also punched the table in the library with some annoyance.

Finally stayed up for another class, Chu Yue, Fujibayashi Starling, and Okazaki Tomoya found the head teacher of Class E and asked about Kotomi Ichinose's situation.

"Ichinose-san's words said that he was not feeling well, so he left early." The homeroom teacher of Class E is a woman with eyes.

"I'm not feeling well......," Tomoya Okazaki said.

"Hmm." The homeroom teacher of Class E replied, "Her grades have always been among the best in the school, and she usually doesn't attend classes, she usually learns by herself, and it's okay to leave early." ”

"But she's not in a good state?" Chu Yue said.

"Well, so I told her to go back and rest first." The head teacher of Class E replied, "I think it would be better for her to be alone for now." ”

When Tomoya Okazaki heard this, he immediately asked, "Do you know something?" ”

"Don't you know?" The head teacher of Class E was a little surprised and said, "In that case, I won't say more, let's let her tell you herself." ”

"......" Okazaki stopped talking. Since the teacher said so, of course he can't ask again.

At lunchtime.

Tomoya Okazaki has calmed down a lot, but he is still not in a good mood, and he went to dinner with Yohei Haruhara.

Of course, Chu Yue still ate with her own harem group, and Fujilin Starling told everyone the news that Kotomi Ichinose had left early in the morning.

Although I was worried about Kotomi Ichinose, there was still a class today, so we decided to visit Kotomi Ichinose after school in the afternoon.

After lunch, Chu Yue and Fujilin Starling returned to the classroom together, only to see Okazaki Peng also sitting in Chu Yue's place.

"What's the matter, are you still worried about Ichinose?" Chu Yue asked.

"Actually, last night, when I was sending Kotomi-chan back, something happened...... "Tomoya Okazaki said.

"Huh?" Chu Yue looked at the vine starling, and then sat down.

"On the way back to her house, I met a strange man." Tomoya Okazaki said.

"Strange man?" Chu Yue asked.

"Hmm...... An old man, very suspicious, wearing a big trench coat and sunglasses. Tomoya Okazaki said.

And when Okazaki Peng said the same, Chu Yue instantly remembered someone.

In the original CLANNAD, the person who uncovered the life story of Kotomi Ichinose. Although it was suspicious when it first appeared, it was actually a colleague of Kotomi Ichinose's parents, and they studied "another world" together.

"Another world", of course, refers to the world where Chu Xi is located. Kotomi Ichinose and his wife are both geniuses, if the two of them are still alive, Chu Yue may not be the first person to reach that world.

"It's horrible!" And after listening to Tomoya Okazaki's description, Fujibayashi Starling felt very dangerous, "If it's not Okazaki-san, you accompany Ichinose-san......"

"That person doesn't have to be a bad person...... but Chu Yue said, "Well, let's go check it out after school." ”

However, in the afternoon, Chu Yue skipped class......

As for where Chu Yue went, no one knew.

When it was time for school to get out, Chu Yue appeared again.

"Really, where have you been!" Fujibayashi Xing immediately said dissatisfied, "I said that I would go to visit Ichinose-san together!" ”

"I know, look into something a little." Chu Yue said with a smile, and later went to find the teacher of Class E.

Tomo Okazaki was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Did the investigation come out of anything?" ”

Chu Yue nodded, and then said, "Let's go to her house first." ”

The group arrived at Kotomi Ichinose's house.

Ichinose Kotomi's house is a bit similar to Chu Yue's house, although it is not as big as Chu Yue's house, but it is also a two-story building, and there is also a small back garden. Merely......

The back garden was full of weeds, and there was a broken, yellowed, rusty little round table and two chairs.

"Obviously on the weekend, everyone was still playing together...... "How come this happened in less than two days......

Everyone walked to the main door and knocked on the door, but no one answered.

"Is it in there?" Calamity Spirit Dream asked Chu Yue directly.

"People are in it." Chu Yue nodded and said, "However, she doesn't seem to want to see us." ”

"Yes, sleeping." Nagisa Furukawa said.

"Let's just knock the door open!" Calamity said

"No, Reimu-chan!" Fujilin starling hurriedly stopped it.

"Let's come back tomorrow." Fujibayashi proposed.

“……”

Okazaki didn't know what to think, but Kotomi Ichinose didn't open the door, and everyone couldn't get in, so he had to go back first.

On the way back, Tomoya Okazaki seemed to think of something, and suddenly said, "I seem to think, I've been to her house?" ”

"Didn't you bring us here?" Fujibayashi said strangely, "You must have been there." ”

"No, that's not what I mean......," Tomoya Okazaki said, "I seem to ...... I had a dream last night, like, as if I had been to Kotomi-chan's house...... Yes, it was a long, long time ago......"

After saying that, Okazaki Peng also gritted his teeth, turned around and ran back directly.

"Hey! Tomoya! Chu Yue shouted and chased after him.

When everyone saw it, they all chased after it together.

When I arrived at the door of Ichinose Kotomi's house, I found that an old man was standing at the door of Ichinose Kotomi's house.

"Hey! What are you doing?! "Tomoya Okazaki won't be like last night this time, and he just shouted loudly and stepped forward.

"You were the ...... that night," said the old man.

Okazaki Peng also walked towards the old man with some anger, but Chu Yue hurriedly ran over, stood between the two people, and separated the two people to prevent Okazaki Peng from making a move.

"Chu Yue!" Okazaki Peng didn't understand what Chu Yue meant.

"Do you want to know what I'm looking for?" Chu Yue said.

Tomo Okazaki was also stunned.

In a park, Chu Yue and the others gathered around a table.

"You guys take a look at this first." Chu Yue took out the phone, and then pointed to the photo on the phone.

At this time, mobile phones that can take pictures are very advanced and expensive...... It is not popularized at all, but everyone knows that Chu Yue is a local tyrant, and they also pay more attention to the photo itself, so no one complains about the mobile phone.

"What are these?"

These photos are newspaper photos. On the caption of each photo, there are a few words: Mr. and Mrs. Ichinose.

"Kotomi Ichinose's parents were scientists who were very famous in the research field at the time, a genius scientist couple, and at that time, everyone called Ichinose's parents at that time, and what was reported in these newspapers was their research results."

"But......" Chu Yue changed to the photo in the back, "when they went to the United States to participate in a research...... Airplane, something happened. ”

"The accident of the Ichinose couple was a big news, and it was spread in the press at the time. And...... What's more, research materials are missing. ”

"That's basically what this classmate said." The old man said, "But...... In fact, there are still some ...... of research materials at that time."

Everyone was stunned.

"But...... Ichinose's house, there happened to be a fire that night, and it was in the study...... The research materials in the study room have all disappeared......"

After hearing this, everyone was a little sad for a while. Not for the research materials that were burned, but for Kotomi's bumpy life experience. His parents died when he was young, and the family suffered a fire...... This genius girl would have such a past.

Of course, Chu Yue and Calamity Spirit Dream were not sad. Chu Yue had known it for a long time, and the Calamity Spirit Dream ...... It's fun enough that this thing doesn't whistle and gloat.

"There's nothing wrong with calling me a bad person." The old man continued, "After all, I am the one who brought the news...... Kotomi probably thinks I took the lives of her parents. ”

"How can it be...... You're innocent......" said Fujibayashi Starling.

"Still, Kotomi doesn't seem to want me to get close...... I didn't expect her to make so many friends. The old man said, "I'm somewhat relieved." ”

"So, why did you come to Ichinose?"

"Well, actually, when Kotomi was young, I wanted to raise her, but she refused...... As for coming now, there is one thing to tell her. Since you are her friends, please tell her. ”

"What's the matter?" Tomoya Okazaki asked.

"At the beginning, the research organization in the United States apologized and offered to provide a higher education for Kotomi...... However, because Kotomi refused to believe in the death of her parents and was unwilling to leave the house, the matter was put on hold. The old man said, "Now, what Kotomi wants to learn now is just that she is almost no longer satisfied in Japan, and studying in the United States is a better choice." Kotomi is in the third grade, and an invitation to study abroad has been sent from the United States. ”

"Really?!" Fujibayashi Xing couldn't believe it, "Invitation to study abroad? ”

"And...... Has she learned to this extent? Fujibayashi starling also said in surprise.

"Boring thing." But the dream of the scourge said lightly, "America? I'm really going to plan for the plate. ”

Of course, Chu Yue knew what the Calamity Spirit Dream was referring to, but that wasn't the point right now.

"There is one more thing...... said the old man, "there is one thing that I need to give to Kotomi myself when I see her." ”

"What is it?" Nagisa Furukawa asked.

"This, let's keep it a secret for now." The old man stood up and put on his hat, "Well, then, I will take my leave today." I hope you can tell her about studying abroad. ”

"Okay." Tomoya Okazaki nodded.

After the old man left, Chu Yue looked at Tomoya Okazaki.

Tomoya Okazaki was silent for a moment, and then said, "You guys, go back first." I'd like to see it again. ”

"Let's ......" Furukawa Nagisa immediately wanted to say that we would go with us, but were stopped by Chu Yue.

The story of Kotomi Ichinose is much more than that...... Some other things are related to Tomo Okazaki. It's better not to meddle in these things.

So, Chu Yue and the others separated from Okazaki Peng, Chu Yue and the others went home, and Okazaki Peng also went back to Ichinose Kotomi's house.

In the back garden of Kotomi Ichinose's house, Tomoya Okazaki walked in from the back garden with his sixth sense and the memory of last night's dream.

The more he walked, the more Okazaki felt that this was not a dream, but something that had happened.

Walked into the house from the back garden and went up to the second floor.

Tomo Okazaki also seemed to hear Kotomi Ichinose's words again: "I saw a rabbit the day before yesterday, yesterday it was a deer, and today it is you." ”

On the second floor, a familiar doorway, Tomo Okazaki also opened the door.

A familiar room. Although the layout has changed a lot, it is still a familiar room.

Kotomi Ichinose sat on her knees, and there were many, many pieces of paper plastered on the walls around her. Some are scraps of paper cut out from the newspaper on the photo given by Chu Yue, and more are formulas and sketches that Okazaki doesn't recognize.

And at this time, Tomoya Okazaki's memory was finally restored, and all the things were finally remembered.

"We ...... I've seen it before...... In childhood. ”
