"That... That one... The girl reached out and grabbed the sleeve of his school uniform.

"I, I. Forehead.. You, what's your name?" The girl looked away in embarrassment.

He blinked: "Magpie, I'm Magpie"

"Sparrow?。。 Not.. Sparrows?"

It's magpies.

He didn't go and correct the girl's mistakes.

"So, what's the matter?"

The girl looked straight at her, standing by the window of the classroom, her hands behind her back and twisting them, the afterglow of the setting sun brushing obliquely across her side of her face and reflected on the blackboard behind her.

There were only two people in the classroom.

The boy who claimed to be Magpie waited silently, and even the ordinary school uniform looked well-proportioned and clean on him.

The girl suddenly flew her cheeks, bit her lower lip, and nervously looked away again, and the hands behind her wrung harder. Then he lowered his head and said, "... I'm sorry I didn't even know your name before. That, that. Although I have been in a class for two years. But when I think about it carefully, I find that I can't think of it, and no one knows if I ask others. I'm really sorry!"

Two years?。。 Magpie tugged at the corners of his mouth noncommittally, as if laughing.

"I don't mind, no one knows my name, it's also my problem, you don't have to apologize. Magpie turned his head to look at the sunset, the serene glow bursting in its last colors, and he narrowed his eyes.

"And this is the first time we've spoken. So it doesn't matter. ”

"It's not okay!"

The girl raised her head suddenly, and the voice that was originally so low that she was afraid that the third person would hear it also rose sharply.

"Sparrow. You're so smart! Sports are good, too. Or the vice president of the student council," she said, and her voice went down again. It's also very gentle. ”

Magpie withdrew his gaze from the window and watched as the girl's short black hair was dyed a warm orange in the sunset.

"And... The girl's gaze no longer dodged, and as if she had made up her mind, she washed her breath lightly and looked directly at the magpie as well.

The eyes are facing each other.

"I like Sparrow-san!"

She blushed and said:

"Please have a relationship with me!"

The words are clear, and they also clearly convey the girl's intentions and real emotions.

Que still has a smile on the corner of his mouth: "I really don't know that I am a gentle person, so, even if you say so, I still have to say: no." ”

"For... Why?" the girl asked, wriggling her body in frustration.

"It's a bit rude to say that, though. But I'm not interested in you," he still laughs, "It's like a cat is interested in mice, fish and wool. There was a pause, as if trying to figure it out.

“。。 But don't you have any interest in ants? The girl continued, a little deflated, and a wry smile of distress appeared on her lovely face.

"Not quite right. Magpie raised his hand and pointed to the sky outside the window.

The girl looked at his finger suspiciously, and there were fusiform clouds floating in the sky, so low that they seemed to be within reach, and when you looked closely, they looked like canvases, like background maps, and you could clearly see the flat world that could never be reached.

An inexplicable sadness welled up in her heart, and the girl opened her mouth to say something.

"It's like, whether it's a cat, a fish, a ball of yarn, an ant, it doesn't interest the clouds. ”

Seeing the girl's expression, Magpie couldn't help but laugh: "I think you misunderstood something, I-"

"Hey!" a third voice interrupted magpie abruptly. A tall girl walked in outside the classroom door, her body was well developed, her eyebrows were heroic, and her shoulder-length red hair was surging in waves as she walked.

"Yes, that's you!" she unceremoniously pointed at Magpie. He also wears a school uniform.

"You guy! Xiaoyi is such a cute girl confessing to you, and you actually refused? Do you know how determined she is... She glanced at Magpie hatefully, and then stretched out her hands in distress to hold Xiaoyi in her arms, and looked at Magpie viciously again: "... And you're bluffing people there, why don't you go to the shopping street next to you to pay a fortune teller?"

Que turned away with a smile, ignored her, walked straight to the table and chair by the window, tidied up his things, picked up a black plaid schoolbag after a moment, and walked to the back door of the classroom with his legs raised.

"Yes。。 ”

The red hair was angry, looking at the back of the magpie who disappeared quickly at the door, he suddenly reacted, and looked at the red-faced girl in his arms: "What's that... Sorry to let him run. I'll take you after him?"

"No. Never mind.. ”

Xiao Yi exhaled and calmed down: "Let's get here here today. ”

"Well, that's right, Xiaoyi, you're also tired, it just so happens that a store has recently released a new product, let's try it?"

"Eh, what about the squad leader? Aren't we together today?"

"Well, he's in trouble today, so it's just the two of us today. The redhead laughed "hey, hey, hey", and hugged Xiaoyi again: "Today you will be from the master~"

"Hmm... It's so boring, let go. Not. ”

After a while, Xiao Yi gave up struggling as if resigned to his fate.

"Are you really okay?" The redhead asked softly.

"Hmm... Xiao Yi raised her head from her soft chest, and her soft hair was a little messy: "At least I finally said it. . . I won't give up!"

I don't want to regret it, I'm going to touch him!

Xiao Yi secretly made up her mind in her heart.

"Hahaha! Xiao Yi also got serious. Sure enough, spring has arrived, alas. No, how can I hand over my family's lovely Xiaoyi to someone else!I'm going to kidnap you if I say anything today!" Laughing, the redhead let go of her arms, grabbed her hand and walked out.

"Hmm, I'm not from anyone's family," Xiao Yi muttered as she walked.

The two laughed and left the school building.

。。。。。。

"Ake, I'm sorry for your work today. Que, in the student union room of the administration building, carrying a schoolbag to thank another person.

"You've done it for me several times before, magpie. After writing the last stroke, he put down the pen in his hand, sorted out a stack of papers and put them in his bag, and stood up from his seat with his school bag.

"Speaking of which, are you going well there? Agreed? ”

"Refused. ”

"Eh, sure enough, it's rare that you're willing to make time for work, but it's still in vain. Ake shook his head regretfully.

"Well, it's a matter of course for you. ”

As the two walked out of the door, Ake locked the door.

"Compared to me, the president doesn't want to think about himself. Magpie said lightly.

"Of course I can't. ”

"Why?"

"You know, my sister. ”

Ake smiled.

There seemed to be a layer of brilliance on his handsome and angular face, sunny and confident.

"Sister?。。 Hehe. ””

"What are you laughing at?"

"No, it's just that I feel like I've been getting more and more sisters lately. ”

Ake was not annoyed, and nodded thoughtfully: "Yes, this is also the trend of world development, just as mechanical mass production will eventually replace manual labor, historical prejudice will eventually pass away, and the truth will live forever." ”

Magpie gave him a strange look and responded with a "uh-huh-hmm" in his mouth.

The two of them went downstairs and walked to the school gate.

The breeze was blowing, and Ake's short hair was as low as artificial grass on the playground.

In contrast, magpies are shorter than him, with half-length hair that is gently flicked.

On the wall of the building directly opposite the school gate was a clock, and the shadow of the hands dragged long and thin, and the reality was that it was almost six o'clock, and the school was almost gone.

The eyes of the two of them invariably looked at the sunset.

It seems that the half of the eye that emerges from the other side of the world, and the pupil of the whole world, or in other words, everything in the world is like a projection on the retina, and the source of the light is the pupil, the eye that is closing.

Magpie felt the sunset shining without temperature, as if bathed in an omnipresent gaze.

He raised an eyebrow.

The light of the omnipresent sunset extends from the horizon, casting a shadow over the entire school.

Outside the school gate is the sunset red Ban Road, nearly 100 meters, connecting the road and the city. On either side are green belts and street trees, and behind the street trees on one side is an ancient canal, and the afterglow shines on the waves like glittering fish scales

"Now, Ake. ”

"Huh?"

"Did you know that there is another name for this kind of time period?"

“。。 At the end of the day?"

"That's right. ”

"What's wrong? What the hell are you seeing?"

"Huh. . . Magpie smiled but did not answer, and looked at the end of the road in front of him, which was the connected city.

Connecting roads, traffic lights, shops, streets, people, vehicles, noise...

At the end of the road were two people, Xiao Yi and the red hair.

Sakamichi is separated from the outside world by a road, dividing the two worlds.

From the road, from the city, from the society, there is a man facing the direction of the school.

A black top hat obscures the upper part of his face, revealing bright red lipstick lips, and he is dressed in a suit, tie, leather shoes, and white gloves.

Outfits that don't fit in with the outside world.

He was standing on the other side of the road with a dog squatting at his feet.

It's hard to see clearly from the school gate, but Ake's eyesight is very good, but he also has a rough look.

But from Xiaoyi's point of view, it can be seen clearly.

When the two girls saw this person, they inexplicably felt a strange contradiction, some doubts, and stopped chatting.

At that moment, the dog suddenly burst out of its place and rushed towards the direction of the school at an abrupt and incredible speed. It's like a crazy mess of rough sketch shadows.

The traffic light was red, and it was crossing the road with heavy traffic, as if it had no sense of crisis.

"Huh!"

Xiao Yi couldn't understand the situation for a while, and froze in place.

In this short second, the dog actually crossed the road more than ten meters and was already close to Sakamichi.

The last time it leaped, a white car sped away, and the dog's dangling body was right in front of the windowpane, blocking the road ahead.

The driver of the white vehicle subconsciously wanted to avoid it, and at the last moment instinctively turned to the right to avoid the dog.

And then

crashed head-on into Xiao Yi.

！

Xiao Yi was stunned in place, wanting to take a step, but it was difficult to move, the red hair gritted her teeth and grabbed her and pulled it back, the corner of the car hit Xiao Yi's left leg, and then wiped away, and couldn't stop the car in a hurry, knocking both of them to the ground.

The two girls fell to the side of the road and narrowly avoided it.

"Xiaoyi, Xiaoyi, are you okay?"

The white car was still in a castration after passing the two of them, and I don't know if it was a breakdown or the driver went crazy, and it crashed straight into the green belt next to the road.

Behind the green belt there is a half-height guardrail, behind which is the canal.

Just when the redhead anxiously called out to Xiao Yi who was lying on the ground. The dog ran past the two of them as if nothing had happened, and ran to the school gate at an unusual speed again.

On the other side of the road, there was no longer the figure wearing the top hat.
