Chapter Fifty-Eight: Decorate the Morning of Parting with the Flower of Promise
The next afternoon, Miyashiro and Iwami Mai Rinka left Aomori to return to Tokyo......
So this is another chapter title that has nothing to do with the content of the chapter.
From settling here to leaving, this trip took a total of 6 days, and in addition to the time wasted on the road, it can barely be called "compact" and "efficient".
In the afternoon, on the return train.
Rinka-senpai walked over from the door of the carriage with two bottles of ice water in her hand, and after coming to the seat, she turned her body sideways and carefully bypassed Gong Dai's legs, and sat back in her seat by the window.
As for Gong Dai, who was sitting outside on the side of the passage, he was holding a drawing board in his hand to check what he had drawn in the past few days...... And the reason why he didn't pounce on someone's waist when his senior sister passed by was because he was highly educated, had a certain degree of scientific and cultural literacy, and understood etiquette, righteousness and shame; Second, the train did not brake sharply at such a time to create an opportunity for him; Third, he was really napping.
Yesterday, because he had to sort out the results of his work in the past few days, he didn't sleep until the second half of the night, and now it's normal that he can't hold it anymore, plus ...... The steady running of the train, the slow, rhythmic and cyclic running sounds, the occasional whispering in the carriage, etc., could theoretically be understood even if he was snoring and drooling now.
Rinka-senpai glanced at Miyadai and found that he had no tendency to fall into the passage, let alone his shoulder, so she didn't bother him. She took a magazine out of her bag and flipped through it.
Unconsciously, she tried to keep her voice as low as possible when she turned the page. In the past few days, Gong Daijuan is obviously more tired than her, although the two of them are walking the same path, but the former still needs to do some "mental work" sometimes.
And he's also a porter.
The air conditioner in the car could not completely prevent the invasion of the heat, and the sunlight cast through the narrow gap in the curtain shone on the green wrapper of the ice water placed by the senior sister on the small table, and the water vapor in the air quickly condensed on the outside of the PET bottle, and then gathered together and flowed down, and then continued ......
Miyadai So, who was napping, poked his head on one of the corners of the drawing board.
"Poof...... Hey. ”
Probably because the operation he woke up was more surprising, so the people sitting next to him naturally let out laughter.
"Mistaken? When is it now? Such a sudden attack almost didn't knock out the tears of Gong Daiyu, and God knows if he meant to ease the embarrassment by asking this.
When he woke up, his voice was somewhat strange.
However, seeing the natural appearance of a hand covering his head, it is conceivable that a person of his character probably would not feel embarrassed for such a thing.
"You've only slept for about fifteen minutes." Mai Iwami replied from the side.
Hours have passed as expected, and sleeping on such a moving vehicle is often more likely to have a sense of dislocation.
"Give you water." The senior sister helped Gong Daijuan hand over the ice water, and the coolness helped him expel his sleepiness.
Then, she handed over another stack of tissues, and Miyadai then wiped away the water stains that had stuck to her palms...... The girl's mind will always be expressed in this kind of place, so that he will not accidentally get wet on the drawing paper.
"Speaking of which, in order to thank Senior Sister for accompanying me over here, I have another gift for you."
Gong Daiju also took advantage of this to put down the work in his hand, anyway, it was not a matter of rushing at this moment. He tucked the sketchpad back into his backpack and pulled something else out of it.
Although it was a "gift", his movement was a bit like pulling out the drawing board that he had just put back in...... Even though he had only taken out drawing paper, the stack was a finger thick.
"Gifts?" Iwami Mai didn't expect that Gong Daiyu would give her any gifts...... If the purpose of this trip is defined as "work", then the movements of the palace will be redundant.
Thinking of such a thing, she subconsciously took the thing, and when she looked down again, she found the content on the painting.
Glancing up at Gong Daisuo, she flipped through the stack of papers one by one...... The background has been changing, it is the scenery of Aomori that the two of them have been to in the past few days, and no matter how the background changes, there is only one person who appears on the screen, although her posture is also changing.
"So-kun, I seriously doubt your purpose for coming to Aomori...... Are you really here for work? Rinka-senpai whispered, and then she seemed to express her displeasure in a quieter voice, "Also, I think you drew my legs a little shorter?" ”
A hand-drawn painting like Miyadai is always more able to express her emotions than a stack of photos, and although the painting that Iwami Mai holds in her hand does not pay so much attention to the portrayal of light and shadow and three-dimensionality, it is definitely something that is seriously drawn, which she can see at a glance.
To repeat the explanation, the senior sister is also a person who has learned to draw.
Otherwise, how could Gong Daiju be sleepy at such a time? This is because he is still a literary youth.
"I think the image of the senior sister has been beautified to a sufficient extent." Gong Daiju said honestly, the reason is very simple, he doesn't need to deliberately draw his senior sister ugly, right? That's what you have to eat.
"Really? But I think there are some things that can still be changed...... That's what my professional eye and artistic taste tell me. As she spoke, Iwami Mai actually took out a pen.
However...... If this stroke continues, a very good painting will definitely be ruined by the senior sister, so Gong Dai's face will collapse a little.
That's a bit of a waste of mind, right?
Today, the senior sister coiled her hair on the top of her head and made a ball, and one of her faces looked a little round.
At this time, of course, she had no intention of drawing a pen, and when she lowered her head and said this, her eyes hidden behind her bangs were observing Gong Dai's expression.
Gong Daiyu was so worried for three seconds and then found the senior sister's sight, so he reacted that it was a small joke. Then, he froze for two seconds because he had never seen a senior sister with such a pair of cunning eyes.
Who makes your heart move, who makes your heart ache
Who would make you want to hug her in her arms once in a while
Who cares about your dreams, who says she doesn't understand your thoughts
So...... Who flirted with whom?
Well, Miyadai reached out and tapped her forehead.
"I don't know if it's my delusion, but I always feel that So-kun sometimes, oh, what should I say...... There's a kind of 'uncle'? Iwami Mai asked, how can any junior knock on the head of a senior? Unless he didn't think he was a junior, because he was really an uncle.
And Gong Daiju didn't know if it was his own illusion, just now the senior sister seemed to puff out her cheeks, and then for a moment her round face looked more round.
"First, of course, I went to Aomori for work, so please don't confuse the nature. Second, the uncle is angry or something, you must be delusional. Miyadai said.
“…… I've already received the gift, so what else do you want to express? Did the senior sister give up her "illusion"?
At this time, Gong Daiyu stood up and stretched, and then he really had something to say:
In 200 AD, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, who were in the north, held each other in Zhongmu, Henan, and a strategic duel was expected to start here. Cao Yi was the commander, Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Dong Zhao were the conspiracy, Xu Huang, Guan Yu, Zhang Liao were the generals, and the elite soldiers of 20,000 were commanded to reject the 100,000 people of the Yuan family.
In 1429, a young girl from Orleans on the European battlefield was dressed in full knightly gear, and the banner of Jeanne Dalc turned the tide of France with a thunderbolt.
In 1453, Sultan Mehmed II of the Ottoman Empire led an army to conquer Constantinople, and the Eastern Roman Empire was destroyed.
When Apollo 11 landed on the moon in 1969, the American astronauts uttered the 'famous line' that I don't know how many times I had rehearsed in private.
In 1983, Nintendo released the handheld game Super Mario Bros.
So...... Mr. Lu said, 'Silence alone is the highest contempt'.
And he said, 'A future without a future is not the future I want.'"
The blue crescent moon dances alone in the night sky, the bright world tears through the clouds, the invisible and shadowless story, and the moonlight fades into haze.
There's a brilliant secret, sleeping in a beautiful dream on a midsummer night.
JUST WE IS JUST WE, NEITHER GREAT NOR HUMBLE.
Why is Timo's home ...... if he doesn't die?"
"So-kun...... What are you talking about? ”
Rinka-senpai didn't know why, the ball on her head seemed to be bigger...... She can still understand the first few sentences that Gong Daiyu said, and as for the last few sentences, she can understand the ghosts.
And when it's all connected, God knows what he expressed?
"I'm saying...... I'm going to go to the bathroom and wash my face. And Gong Daisheng doesn't care if she understands it or not.
He really walked away, for he didn't know what he was talking about.
The senior sister sat alone in her seat, and she frowned...... Do you want to say that when you go to the bathroom? So what is the 'moral of' this passage?
Implied meaning...... There really is.
"Little girl, don't you understand what he means?"
At this time, the person who acted as the wall breaker appeared, and she was ...... The forty-year-old sister who sat in the seat opposite and listened to them all the time.
"Huh?" Iwami Mai raised her head and looked at the other party in a little shock, did someone really decipher the secret?
"A person who is willing to tell another person something that is meaningless and unimportant is a meaningful and important thing in itself......"
Sister passers-by, the bystanders are clear.
“……”
The senior sister lowered her head and looked at the "picture book" in her hand again, and then looked up at the window through the breath of the curtains.
The afternoon sun seemed to carry a wonderful temperature, but her face became slightly drunk.
