The summer night was like a dream, and everything seemed a little unreal.

Place your hands behind your back and turn your back gracefully. The footsteps that move unhurriedly and slowly, as if they are engraved under the night sky, are reminiscent of the posture of a young girl.

Needless to say, the elegant summer jacket faithfully sets off the graceful and delicate body curves, and the snow-white skin is especially bright and dazzling in the dark and shimmering night, and the elegant and extraordinary beauty is matched. Even if it is not the distance to look at from afar, it is also covered with fantastical brilliance, which is enough to make the heart of the person who sees it flutter.

There is no doubt that she has a look that is beyond the ordinary as a woman. Maybe she is a little inferior to her daughter during the day, but when night comes, she will definitely not be inferior to her daughter.

Even in terms of temperament, it is probably better than one point.

This is not just because she seems more mature than her daughter, who is still young, but exists on a deeper level. On a quiet night, even ordinary movements will make her stand out.

It doesn't seem arrogant, but it's not worldly. It's not so much that she's beautiful at night, but that the night is here for her - she's the woman who makes the illusion that she's there. As long as it's night, she's different.

However, there is also a troublesome side.

"Sometimes I wonder if it's fun to wear my school uniform once in a while."

She asked in a cute manner, but it made the expression of the person asking the question stiff.

"No, although I can't deny that it should be quite suitable, but consider my feelings."

Her husband looked embarrassed.

Just like her appearance, she has been a mother for a long time, but she still retains the playfulness unique to a girl. Although it is not unworldly, sometimes it can be regarded as some unique little mood, but it is inevitable that some people do not look at the atmosphere and occasion.

It's no wonder that she has always been indisputable and calm-minded. There is nothing to hate, and nothing to be complained about. Naturally, I don't care about the atmosphere and the occasion.

Especially at night, not only does the appearance look radiant, but even the mood rises. No, rather, as she herself said, probably only the night could bear all her emotions.

"What does it matter? It's not the first time ...... anyway."

"Be obedient."

The man touched her head and said in a tone that was half commanding, and she was immediately quiet.

Whenever it was his will, she complied. It has always been that way.

"Has anything changed there?"

Holding her husband's arm and resting her head on him, she walked with him to the highest point of the high ground. She looks more like a young girl of unknown origin than a wife. I can't see the trajectory of her life along the way, and if you look closely, it will even make people wonder where she came from.

"How so? It has always been taken care of by someone, and it is impossible to abandon it. We come every year, and when is it not like that? ”

The man whispered affectionately in her ear.

"That's right."

After all, it was a silent night, and even the wind was impossibly quiet. Although the voices of the two were very soft, as light as an intimate whisper between **, this conversation still floated over, and the children didn't know what to do.

Do you want to keep up? The Kaihara siblings were a little embarrassed.

It stands to reason that if parents plan to relive old dreams, it is naturally better for their children to avoid them. But the problem is that this time it was my mother who called them. And so far, none of them know why. It's just that it doesn't seem good to just stand there like this.

"Meow~~"

From behind the siblings, the sound of a cat was heard. Because it was so quiet at this time, they were all attracted by the only strange noise. When I turned around, the first thing I saw was a pair of small jewel-like eyes that were shining and swimming with light bands.

It was a cat as white as snow. The whole body is spotless, like the silhouette of the bright moonlight in the night. When looking at it, it squinted as if it were smiling.

It's just a cat, but it has an expression that looks more like a human than an animal.

"Is that you? Did you come with your father? ”

Dome said to it with a smile, but of course the cat wouldn't answer her.

She was familiar with the cat and could even see it almost every day. She bent down slightly and tried to pick up the cat with both hands. It's just that the kitten, who usually doesn't refuse her, jumped out of the way this time, jumping out between her hands. The cat walked past the brother and sister with graceful steps, and stood still beside Mrs. Kaihara.

It's not that the cat is running fast, it's that their parents stop and look back at their siblings.

This could not be clearer. The Kaiyuan siblings glanced at each other and followed together.

Although this highland is not too vast, you can only see the other side if you stand at the top of the highland.

Facing the most prosperous night scene of this school city,Under the illumination of countless electric stars,The scenery hidden by the highlands is gradually unfolding like a picture scroll。

The brother and sister looked at the scroll unfolding in front of them and took a deep breath.

Although there is only one slope, the indigo blue of the field is as dazzling as the sea.

"That's ......"

Dome couldn't help but mumble to himself. Although she didn't ask anyone, her father answered her.

"It's 'Iris."

Names that seem to have been heard too much today appear again in the night.

It was a field of indigo flowers that gently undulated in the silence of the night with the breeze. The faint light of the night shimmers softly on it, and even the primitive and chaotic light sounds are transformed into elegant serenades.

Although the Kaihara siblings didn't know anything about it, they knew that their father was not wrong in the slightest.

That's "Alice" indeed. Whether it's in English, French, German, or even Japanese, it's "Alice" (note: Iris, irise. Although it is Latin, the roots are Greek. But the point is, the name is used all over the world. Including the Chinese 'Alice flower', which also refers to irises).

It is as beautiful as a dancing butterfly, and it can be said that it is past the season, but it is still blooming beautifully.

Mitsuki Umihara bent down and gently plucked a petal.

"I see......"

Although the touch is almost the same as the real petals, the slight difference is felt through the telekinesis. This seemingly delicate and fragile flower is not as delicate as it looks.

It's not a fake, it's a real irise. It's just that it's not a living thing.

Able to resist the constraints of the seasons, just because it is long dead.

Flowers, which lose their life when they bloom, acquire eternity in this way after being artificially disposed of and solidified for time.

Knowing that this is a place of memories for my parents, I will not be surprised by this flower field. Merely......

"Why don't you plant some real flowers?"

In terms of the family's financial resources, it is not difficult to run a real flower field. But strangely, my parents chose this way.

"Because life can only be possessed once, and it can only be lost once. Even if you plant a new flower again, it will no longer be the same life. And ......," his father paused, before he continued, "no messenger can cross that line, and the dead can only reject the living with silence." ”

No matter how you listen to it, it doesn't feel like an answer. But staring at the father of the irises, there was indescribable sadness swaying in his eyes.

"Right? Alice ......"

He said softly as if he was expecting something.

The Haiyuan brothers and sisters were stunned at the same time. In an instant, they understood everything.

Today is really a day full of puzzles, and it is only now that this final puzzle is presented to them.

And these puzzles all have the same answer.

The iris was silent, the dead beauty could not have answered anyone's question.

However, it was as if they heard a voice whispering quietly under the irises. It was like news from far away, echoing in their minds.

Although Iris just remained silent and did not answer.

This beautiful scenery is a place of memory for their parents.

And, too, a forgotten girl's ...... Tombstone.

This girl is under the night sky.,On the back of the electric starry sky of the school city.,Sleep in the cluster of irises.。

This is the end of all the stories we hear today.

Didn't say anything. Whether it is Qiong Nai or Guanggui, they are not mature enough to be able to understand the mood of their parents at this time. Even they know this very well.

So they can't speak, they can't say anything.

Trying to get closer, their father raised his hand to stop them.

In fact, their father wanted to step forward, but he stopped.

Perhaps no one in this world knows his wife better than him. Even if his wife is also elusive in his eyes, he can still sense his wife's intentions.

If you want to say the reason...... As a husband, do you need a reason to understand your wife?

Under the watchful eyes of her children, Mrs. Kaihara walked slowly. As far as the eye can see, it is like floating on a sea of irises. It's so transparent, as if it's about to melt into the night.

Standing in the midst of the sparkling sea of flowers, the night beauty slowly knelt down.

At this moment, the Kaihara brothers and sisters involuntarily stepped back together.

(This...... This is...... ）

The brother and sister looked at each other.

Is that an illusion? At that moment, the night seemed to be burning, and the whole night was almost as hot as being ignited. This burning sensation is only for a moment. Moreover, it does not seem to exist in reality.

But if it's an illusion, it's not ...... It's too real.

Their mother, Night Beauty, knelt in the center of the sea of flowers, her hands gently touching the land, revealing a smile that was tarnished by the sea of irises.

It's like talking to a best friend in a memory.

"Thank you. And ......"

She whispered softly to those who rested there.

“…… I'm sorry. ”

That's all, that's all.

That's all, that's all it takes.
