In the early morning, everything is silent, the sky is not yet bright, the night is about to disappear, and the dawn of the morning slowly awakens the sleeping creatures.

At this time, Gong Xiaoyun had woken up, and then came to the backyard of the villa, Qin Tian's legs were separated, his knees were bent and half squatting, his upper body was straight, and his eight-pole boxing skills paid attention to his immobility, I didn't move, if he didn't move, I lured the enemy to make a move, and then used the method of collapse and wrapping to force open the opponent's door, and the close-knit outbreak, three sets of combos, one move with three uses, three methods, three forces, and succeeded in one fell swoop.

The first formula. The second step is to support the fist and two yiding. The lion has a small mouth. Cross fist, offering the crotch ......

The moves of the eight-pole fist of one move and one style are used like a stream from Gong Xiaoyun's hand, and every punch blows a chapter of wind!

Time passed quickly, and he walked to school after breakfast.

Let's turn our perspective to Yuji Sakai's side

Under the disgusting brightness of the sun, Yuji Sakai came to his senses. Sitting up, he first looked down at his body with sleepy eyes., he thought to himself that he hoped that everything was just a dream....

His gaze trembled to his chest, and he saw the spiritual fire burning in his body, staring intently at the thin burning posture.

"Alas.........." finally sighed deeply, at this time the spiritual fire was gone, and the girl's words yesterday came to mind, "This is reality."

“..... Reality......"

Your own voice brings you back to your senses.

That's right, this is the reality, Yuji remembered yesterday's situation, and returned home in a trance, leaving Genda and the girl behind.

Because of the cowardice and fear of the monster appearing again, he hurried home, and when he got home, he found that he couldn't see the spiritual fire in his chest, and he didn't feel panicked, and he didn't even pay attention to Chigusa and his own flowers, which must have made Chisusa worried, right? Now that I think about it, why should I be nervous, it's good not to see, isn't it? Is that the evidence that can prove that "I am the residue of Yuji Sakai", or is it because as long as I feel it personally, no matter how tragic the fact is, it will become an element to support myself, so I am so nervous?

All in all, reality soon returns with depression.

When I looked closely, I saw the spiritual fire in my chest.

So Yuji felt it at that time, not speculation, but clearly felt it.

The spiritual fire burns in the body at any time, but if you don't look closely, you can't see it, and that's the truth.

It's as if you open a new eye to gaze, so that the spiritual fire will come into view.

(Ah, by the way, it seems that I confirmed it this way yesterday.)

Yuji tested this feeling several times last night, and a few general points surfaced in the sluggish head of the sluggish person who had just woken up.

The girl said that the chaotic reality that he had died was not so much troubled and difficult, but in this case, he couldn't do it at all.

Does he despair of his own scumbag?

Or should you fear that sooner or later you will be extinguished?

Should it be?

Yesterday I did feel hopeless and afraid.

Now it's a bit of a trance, and my brain is like a dead machine.

After a night's rest, it may be that my heart has sorted out my thoughts by itself, and yesterday's things will be left to yesterday.

Or do you have to have an open-minded mindset and face a fact that cannot be changed at all?

It's obviously a problem related to itself, but it seems too careless and careless. Could it be that this is also the impact of Chi commenting on his own mental structure of "feeling full of skill"?

... Wait a minute!! ...

He showed a fundamental contradiction.

From yesterday to now, he has been troubled as "Yuji Sakai".

If he had been alive before, Yuji Sakai himself, who had been eaten by monsters, would have felt hopeless about his death and feared that his existence was about to disappear.

"So what am I now? What to do? How do you think?"

"I am a residue of myself..."

“.........”

Yuji suddenly felt that he was too rational to think about himself in this way (wouldn't he?). Wait a minute, wait a minute), and start to get impatient.

"Forget it..."

Although he is not strong enough to maintain an optimistic attitude even if he is forced into such a desperate situation, he has no interest in masochism. Since things can't be changed, let's do whatever we can as always...... No, he wanted to do it.

As if in response to Yuuji's thoughts, his mother shouted from downstairs, "Ayu, it's time to get up!?"

Yuji looked at the clock, it had been a long time since he usually went downstairs and walked into the living room.

"Whew, it's so late?!"

Yuji threw his previous thoughts aside and hurried downstairs.

The morning time is very tight, the time to lie in bed, the time to eat breakfast, the time to go to the convenience store and wait for the checkout, until the time to wait for the traffic light on the road in front of the school, Yuji has already arranged the precise process of ending the class bell in his mind. Once the process is delayed, it will be late.

After running into the living room, my eyes swept to the TV, and the sports news that I usually watched while eating breakfast was long over. I don't have any time to spare. In the living room, on the dining table, which was still a warm quilt table half a month ago, a simple and orthodox breakfast has been prepared for two people, including my mother herself, miso soup, seaweed and scrambled eggs.

Yuji Sakai's family was originally a family of three, with his father Kantaro stationed overseas alone, and his mother Chigusa being an experienced full-time housewife who was in charge of guarding the house.

Yuji came to the dining table with a sliding motion and quickly picked up the meal, and at this time Chigusa walked into the living room, apparently he had just gone out to get the morning newspaper and milk." Ayu, are you alright? Why was you so disappointed yesterday? It's rare to see you oversleep?

"Well, I was a little tired yesterday." Yuji Sakai glanced at his mother ---- Chigusa, who put the morning newspaper and milk on the dinner table, and the gentle face full of a kind smile repeated yesterday's confirmation again, without a torch, mom is still human! While breathing a sigh of relief, it was the same as yesterday, and a sense of loneliness clutching his chest spontaneously.

If my existence disappears, what will my parents do? Overnight, the two of them will become those who have never had children, so won't their previous 15 years of hard work to raise themselves be in vain? Thinking of this, my heart can't help but be filled with loneliness and guilt.

However, it may be better to disappear without grief at all than to die. Anyway, at the end of the day, I'm the only one who feels sad about disappearing.

I'm really rational

No, I think that for the sake of my parents and parents, so that they can start over, it is better to save unnecessary sadness. Fortunately, the two of them got married when they were students, and now they are still very young, and one day they disappear, and their mother, who has nothing to worry about, can go to their father and start a new life.........

"Ayu, what are you staying at? It's school time. ”

"Uh... Huh!?"

Yuuji is describing a very negative future in his heart, and he came back to his senses after listening to Chigusa's shout, yes, there is no time to procrastinate.

"I'm done with !!"

Yuji dropped less than half of his breakfast and ran up the stairs. I can't help it, so let's take care of breakfast at the convenience store where I usually buy lunch today!! While slightly changing the flow of the morning, Yuji buttoned up the stand-up collar of his uniform and grabbed his school bag, feeling helpless and full of gratitude for the rough nerves and skills that he carefully prepared for the next day before going to bed last night.

"I'm leaving!"

"Be careful all the way."

After a brief conversation, he walked out of the house.

These small actions, inconspicuous little things, actually made him feel a little sad?

......

Yuji felt that this just proved that he was not so rational, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Pointless relaxation. He was well aware of this. Still can't hold back.

Yuji's municipal Misaki High School---- which will be a month old since he entered school in April this year---- is located in the residential area on the west side. It is a 2o minute walk from home, but because it is located in a crowded residential area, there is not enough space on campus, so it is forbidden to ride a bicycle to school in principle.

Yuuji has always followed this school rule and walked to school.

However, the usual school journey looks completely different, to be precise, the difference is oneself, and because of this, you can see the real state.

Like themselves, the people who will burn out one day---- that is, the torches, live their daily lives with the spiritual fire in their chests. As he walked, he began to realize that there was a common atmosphere between the torches.

Although there are differences in light and dark, they are generally inconspicuous and low-key.

In particular, the "particularly inconspicuous people" whose spiritual fire is so light that it is almost extinguished will slowly cease to attract attention and be gradually forgotten.... And then disappear without a trace.

As we saw yesterday, the same is true today.

“……”

In front of the toddler, four elementary school students with school bags are walking side by side, talking about people on TV.

"So, when you transform, you get a lot of mistakes and end up in danger."

"yes, like masks, fish, and so on."

"Hmm."

"The enemy is also funny."

Among them was a young torch that only casually echoed and had a faint spiritual fire burning in his body.

The child seems to be quiet and has a very weak sense of presence.

At this time.

Whew, extinguished, disappeared.

“……！”

Before you know it, it's gone.

Not to mention the passers-by, even the other three classmates didn't care, and continued to chat happily.

To be honest, even Yuuji, who recognized him as a torch, only felt a slight incongruity.

In this way, the boy disappeared without a trace.

Let the sense of existence gradually disappear, which is what it means.

However, the world continues to function without any changes.

Until now, how many people have disappeared silently like that?

Will you disappear like that one day?

Thinking about it, Yuji felt a chill in his heart.

(Then again...... ）

According to the girl yesterday, those monsters are constantly eating humans in this city. Yesterday also let one of them, or rather, one escape. The monster, and the owner of the monster...... That is, a character equivalent to the boss level, and now it should continue to eat people somewhere. And the same situation continues to happen in the world, which is really terrible.

It's only now that Yuji finally has a problem.

Last night and this morning, although I was relieved to see that my mother was safe and sound, there was no guarantee that it would be the same in the future. I don't know when I will be attacked and become a torch like myself.

The sense of crisis gradually spread, and even then there was nothing he could do. To put it bluntly, it's just an ordinary person who was forced to know the truth out of necessity.,Weak and powerless.,It's not like yesterday's girl and Genda have the strength of ordinary people.。

It seems that from the very beginning, Genda and I were the targets set by that group of monsters, and there was nothing I could do...... It's hard to even protect yourself like Genda......

Thinking back to yesterday's commotion, that kind of opponent cannot be dealt with by the power of wisdom or courage alone.

It seems that I am the only one who is useless...... I can only pray that the girl will get rid of the monster sooner.

It's really shameless to think about it, but as the girl said:

"That's just the way it is!"

It should be considered that she is right, despair or fear has not yet surfaced, and a sense of powerlessness has arisen spontaneously.

(By the way, I wonder if that girl is fighting somewhere now?) ）

As I walked, I looked left and right, and I was greeted by the usual crowds of people going to work and school.

It's just that it can be seen that there is a torch mixed in with it.

Walking in the crowd, Yuji continued to be in high school for a month, and looked at the rows of travel agency signboards on the side of the road as he walked.

Seeing the model wearing a straw hat, I also bought a new hat, take advantage of the Golden Week holiday to find a place to travel, by the way, remember that the exam will be coming soon, I want to ask the kid Chi about the scope of the exam, by the way, the kid has been asking me to borrow his netbsp; There are some inconsequential trivial things in my head.

In this way, it can indulge in the ephemeral daily life and take a breath of escape.

However, this moment of tranquility was ruthlessly shattered by the spiritual fire in the chest of a woman wearing a suit who passed in front of the poster.

“！”

Yuji was overwhelmed when he remembered "his situation", and then froze in place.

'What to do?' What should I do in the future......

At this moment, a hand was placed on his shoulder, and a familiar voice came from his ear: "Hey, why are you standing here stupidly, you're going to be late!" Still worried about yesterday?? ”

It's Genda, Yuji can't help but be a little excited, because they met those monsters together yesterday, and Yuuji, who can't tell others, can only tell his sorrows to Genda, who has experienced it together.

Update.,I'm still busy signing a contract and the class update is relatively late.,But thank you [Hibernating Kirby Bear] for the two recommendation votes.,Thank you very much.,Your support is the biggest encouragement to me.,I'm probably going to kill Yuuji.,Does anyone mind? Remind me in advance.,Don't spray me then.,It's a little bit unwanted.,But I feel like there's no heroine.,No one looks at me like a fan.,Distressed!
