Boom bang bang - there was the sound of rain outside.

Staring through the steam at the coffee-colored water in the cup.

Zhao Nan raised his head again.

At this time, the phone rang again, this time with the voice of the call hold.

The light and pleasant melody sounds like a life-threatening ......

The sound gradually approached.

"Zhao Nan ——!" Mom took the wireless microphone and walked into the living room. Seeing Zhao Nan turn around, her mother asked.

"Yun Yi's mother called and asked if you knew where Yun Yi went?"

Ah——?h

"Her mother said - Yun Yi hasn't come home yet."

"Ah,"

As soon as he heard this, Zhao Nan immediately jumped down from his chair.

"Zhao Nan, what's wrong with you?"

The mother was stunned. But Zhao Nan didn't say anything.

It must be "there".

That place is a secret between the two - and no one can be told.

He grabbed two umbrellas and ran out of the house in the pouring rain.

Anyway, hurry up, hurry up.

"Damn, hateful, damnable!"

Do your best to push the limits.

Run as hard as you can, run as hard as you can.

That's the reason for the uneasiness.

Yunyi!

On the way, I put away the umbrellas that got in the way.

Although it is about to be drenched into soup again, there is no time to pay attention to it.

Yunyi, Yunyi!

Like a four-legged beast, climb the temple steps quickly.

Conquer in one breath and run to the top.

"Meow—"

A faint cry.

Xiaolan was dripping with water all over her body and looked at Zhao Nan curiously.

There is no figure of Ma Yi in the temple.

The secret base where the cardboard box is hidden, only Xiaolan is alone to watch the house.

The shower was so amazing that even the inside of the cardboard box suffered.

Zhao Nan put his mind at ease.

Although Yun Yi did come, fortunately she had already returned home.

The cardboard box is covered with a cute handkerchief, which is the best proof of this.

That's Yunyi's stuff.

"Ha-come, little blue! One

He picked up the frightened little blue and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

I guess I'm overly worried.

Maybe it's just ...... The two just missed ......?

Ahh

Worst. I'm really going to be flattened by my mother when I go back now......

Forget it, it's helpless.

But there was still a little uneasiness in his heart, and in order to confirm whether Yun Yi had arrived home, Zhao Nan decided to go to her house to ask. Although he is aware of his mother's fist, he has not really been punished by anger.

The reality is cruel, unforgiving, painful -

There was a red light flashing in front of Yunyi's house.

Spinning, red.

In the rain, blurred refracted light.

And as if visiting something, umbrella flowers surrounded by clusters.

Zhao Nan could only look at the back of the hurried in and out in a daze.

White body, red lights.

There was no doubt that it was an ambulance.

- Carrying Yunyi away.

It all ended in a hurry.

In just a moment, it seems like a fleeting time.

And so she went—gone.

YUN Yi. It was a short career of ten years and several months.

He felt quite remorse for what had happened that day. Pray that everything will be rewound.

Deeply, deeply prayed, but no one heard.

The world trampled his wishes under his feet. Ignore it.

Zhao Nan bit his lower lip.

It was too late, and it was going at a pace that couldn't catch up.

Yun Yi died.

The cause of death is said to be acute bronchitis caused by chronic diseases combined with excessive stress and fatigue.

And so he died.

Death, what is it?

Is it pain? Is it sadness?

Is it sad?

Is it pain?

Is there a person who suddenly disappears?

What is it? What is it?

He didn't understand it at all.

Not even tears.

On the day of the funeral, in the photo placed on the altar, Yun Yi smiled.

Why, she laughed?

Why are there so many tears in everyone's eyes?

It's not funny at all, but it doesn't shed tears.

Because Zhao Nan, who was so young, couldn't accept Yun Yi's death.

It's too abrupt, it's too unreal.

Even now, I feel like I'm always hearing that gentle voice calling my name.

The manga borrowed from her must be remembered to be returned.

The electric ...... that I said I wanted to play together It's not on the market yet.

And yet—

School shoe closet. There are no shoes for her.

Seats in the classroom, no one sits on it.

Only the flowers of the memorial bloom alone.

The road you have to go home every day.

Walk alone.

Tilting sun.

Elongated figure.

There is only one person.

Turn back the clock.

I made up my mind to protect her.

In the past, Yun Yi was also like Zhao Nan, playing around in a healthy and lively manner. But because of illness, he drifted away from Zhao Nan's group of boys, and then it became very difficult to even play with girls.

Slowly, out of the circle of friends.

Zhao Nan understood Yunyi's situation and made up his mind to protect her.

Let your friends also become Yunyi's friends, and never let her be isolated.

I didn't expect it......

Let's do it all over again.

I don't believe it, I can't protect her.

Tell me...... It's all fake.

Time, please start over again-

That afternoon—

After Yun Yi and Zhao Nan separated, they went to the temple alone.

Take care of Little Blue. Played with it for a while. Just when I felt like it was almost time to go home—

Little Blue suddenly jumped out of her embrace.

Because I saw a butterfly, I chased after it.

As soon as he chased after him, he chased into the bushes, and Yun Yi also stepped into the bushes.

In the gloomy forest, she was lost.

Lost a sense of direction and lost completely.

Then perceive that your body begins to feel uncomfortable because of the restlessness.

Breathe...... It's difficult.

It was as if it had fallen into a well, and suddenly it began to rain.

The raindrops passed through the gaps in the leaves, hit the dirt, and hit her.

In the rain, Yunyi's symptoms worsened.

Unable to breathe, blurred vision, heavy body.

Alone...... Not a single one.

It is not clear how much time has passed.

I don't know where to go.

It's painful...... It's painful......

Whew, whew, a dry sound came from the throat.

Feeling helpless, lonely, and scared, she began calling the names of her favorite people.

——Zhao Nan, Zhao Nan......

Always guarding her, always thinking about her.

Because he shines like the sun, he can bloom like a sunflower.

The most important people.

However, today he finally reconciled with his friend, and she couldn't stop him.

Don't want to be a burden to him anymore.

So, be sure to keep going.

I am. Little Blue's mother!

Right...... Zhao Nan......

She took out what little strength she had and pushed forward desperately.

Then, I finally found Xiaolan.

Finish...... Little Blue ...... Come...... Let's go home......

Smile softly.

With trembling hands, he picked up Xiaolan and put it back in the cardboard box nest.

…… It rained heavily...... Cough...... I'm sorry, but that's the only one on Mom...... I guess it will be able to stop a little rain...... Right

I can't afford it, cough, cough, mom wants to ...... I'm going back......

She walks in the rain.

If you don't go back quickly, everyone will be worried.

Zhao Nan, Mom, Dad......

It was getting harder and harder to breathe, and although her whole body was weak, she was still desperately determined.

Finally returned home, Yunyi was exhausted.

Zhao Nan......

In the dark. His name is a light that never dies.

There is no text for the message.

I want to keep a smile all the time.

In the place closest to him, beside him.

I'm sorry.

I'm so useless.

I'm sorry.

Little Blue.

I'm sorry.

Zhao Nan——

Please, I have something to say to him.

One last word before leaving.

Before he hurt anyone, even himself.

Come on......

- Suzu.

．

What to do?

Who will tell him.

The wrong person is me.

Why, let Yunyi bear it......

It's all because of my relationship with letting her go to the temple alone.

It's all because I play football.

When school was out that day, the eyes of the rendezvous.

The sound that stays in the ear. It's both gentle and warm. But with loneliness.

It's too late to even say goodbye properly.

At that time, it would be good if he hadn't agreed to Li Mu's invitation.

If you take good notes yourself.

If you are not distracted and look outside.

If there is no proposal, hide Xiaolan and raise it secretly.

If you don't pick up the little blue.

If no kittens are found.

If that day, that time. In that location, if there are no kittens.

That's right, that's it...... If it weren't for "it", Yunyi wouldn't have died at all.

As long as it doesn't exist, it's fine.

Is it...... It's all its fault,

Unconsciously. Put Yun Yi's death as the object of blame. From himself to Xiaolan.

At this time, the "bad habits" that Zhao Nan's mother once said appeared again.

In the days when Yun Yi just left, although Zhao Nan was confused, he still took care of Xiaolan alone. But Xiaolan is beyond his ability, and it is too much trouble. It is quite a burden for elementary school students to face.

In the end, he finally blamed Xiaolan for Yunyi's death.

It's not really hatred, it's something else.

Because they want to hide their wounds.

I want to escape by blaming something else.

But even if you do, the wound won't go away.

No matter what he does, Yunyi will never come back.

It's a pity that Zhao Nan is still young and doesn't understand this truth.

So, Zhao Nan decided...... Throw away the little blue.

It was pouring rain, just like the day she left.

He had already made up his mind to discard Xiaolan.

Say to yourself in your heart that everything is its fault.

Unexpectedly, a black cat and a girl appeared.

It was as if his mind had been seen through.

Feeling fear, Zhao Nan chose to flee.

Keep running, keep running, keep running.

Finally, I came to the temple where I hid Xiaolan and stole it.

In fact, he had already thought about returning to this place.

Over here. There is the breath of Yunyi.

Too profound. You can't help but feel heartache, a gentle breath.

However, for some reason, I came here again.

As if being guided, Zhao Nan walked into the forest.

Go deeper and deeper, desperate to move forward. Didn't write down the way back. I didn't bother to pay attention.

Suddenly, my feet got stuck in the mud after the rain.

"Wow!"

I fell hard, my whole body was covered in mud, and the cardboard box in my arms was accidentally thrown out.

Shaken, the carton opened.

Little Blue picks her head.

……

The four eyes met, and a strong sense of guilt pierced into the heart.

"Meow—"

"Hey, wait a minute,"

Xiao Lan seemed to be about to escape from Zhao Nan and ran deeper.

"Little, Little Blue ——!"

What the hell?

Why, am I going to chase it?

Wouldn't it be better to leave it alone?

What are you chasing after the past?

Although I don't know why. The body reacts subconsciously.

Then he found that Xiaolan stopped in front.

"Little Blue ......"

He slowed his pace and approached.

- Suzu.

Shadows emerge from the darkness,

No, it's a cat, it's just - a black cat.

"Wow, it's very energetic, wouldn't it be sad to be put in such a small place?" The black cat asked.

Little Blue meowed. As an answer.

At this moment, a white appeared in the darkness - a girl in white appeared.

"Oops. We're meeting again."

The girl smiled slightly.

「………… Ahh......h

His teeth chattered and he couldn't speak.

Zhao Nan tried to restrain himself from falling.

finally made a sound, but Zhao Nan could only say this word.

Sure enough, it wasn't a goblin at all,

Seeing his reaction, the black cat spoke angrily.

"Hey, dead child. What do you mean, you actually say that we are monsters!

The black cat flexibly stood on its feet and approached Zhao Nan.

It feels more and more terrifying.

"Listen up. It's a pretty good Grim Reaper! Show me clearly—"

As he spoke, the black cat hooked its tail forward, grabbing the white part of the end with its front foot. Form a "circle", which is vaguely illegible.

"Come on. In vain."

"What?"

Originally, he was full of posture, but he didn't expect to be asked by the girl, and the black cat almost slipped.

What else was asked of me; ID card!

"Is it necessary? This kid doesn't understand, does he?"

"It's a must-have opening sentence anyway! Hurry up—"

The black cat urged, and the girl had no choice but to put her hand into the circle with a helpless face.

"Whoa—" The black cat reacted exaggeratedly.

"It's because you do it every time. I don't want to take ......."

"No, it's not closed...... Tie it...... Oh ......."

"Ugh. I can't stand you......

The girl took her hand back with a helpless expression. There is an extra white business card case in his hand.

She opened the box and presented it to Zhao Nan.

Zhao Nan couldn't understand the content on the business card, only two words were particularly eye-catching, and they were the only words he knew.

"See, Death,"

The black cat proudly shows off its owner's head street.

…… Death......

Ah, is it a limited hidden edition? I haven't seen it!"

However, Zhao Nan completely misunderstood the meaning of the black cat.

When he saw the ID card, he automatically thought of the card game.

The black cat froze. Fall vertically backwards.

"Ahh

The black cat performed a trick and then flipped over and planted the onions.

"Daniel, what are you doing?" The girl couldn't stand it and said.

Then she walked over to here.

Holding Xiaolan in his arms.

Zhao Nan was surprised, but did not say anything.

The girl also hugged the dizzy black cat into her arms.

"I am the Grim Reaper—in charge of death." The girl said so.

Charge...... Death?"

Zhao Nan repeated her words.

"That's right. In other words, it's -- it means to take lives specifically."

She stood in front of Zhao Nan, a little taller than Zhao Nan. Xiang Bu looked down at him.

"Take your life? What are you talking about, less liaring-one

The body floated.

There was an invisible force that blew him back.

"Wow, ahhhhh

He was blown to the ground and rolled around, hitting his head against the roots of the tree.

The impact of the head was nothing compared to my mother's fist.

Important. Was this strange wind just now coming from the fairy-like girl in front of you?

The black cat suddenly spoke—

"In vain! What are you doing? That girl asked us something—whoa!"

Before he could finish speaking, the black cat was kicked lightly by the girl like a football. Get out of the factory.

The girl continued to approach Zhao Nan.

The cold eyes did not change, and the gray scythe was pressed against his neck.

"One more word, and I'll kill you."

Zhao Nan's face began to turn blue.

It's scary.

The girl stared straight into his eyes, and suddenly opened her eyes again. Looking down at Xiaolan in his arms.
