"Did you hear anything?"

The hand holding the bag tightened a little more, and Echizen stopped hesitantly, looking at the denied and puzzled gazes of the three people in front of him, and the uneasiness in his heart inexplicably swelled.

Irritably, he turned around and walked a few more steps, Echizen suddenly turned around and looked at the startled Naryo, "From here, can you plug into the path my brother walked?" ”

"Huh?"

Na Liang was stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously pointed to the dense forest on one side under Echizen's inexplicable and urgent gaze.

"From there, you can get there, but it's a little farther from the top of the mountain, and they should have passed there. Ryoma-kun, you ask what this is doing,"

"You guys go first."

Before Naryo could finish speaking, Echizen had already rushed into the forest, and there was urgency in his eyes that he couldn't explain.

"What the hell is going on?"

Naryo frowned at Kamizuka's gaze.

"Huh! Echizen! ”

Momojo on the side was about to catch up, but was grabbed by the sharp-eyed Tezuka, "What are you going to do?" ”

"Minister, I'm chasing him, I don't know what's going on!"

"No need, let's go first. Let's talk about it at the top of the mountain. ”

Tezuka pondered for a moment and motioned towards Naryo to move forward, "It's not a way to blindly catch up." ”

"Oh."

Looking at the direction of Echizen's disappearance uneasily, Momojo bowed slightly, kept up with Tezuka's pace, and sped up.

"Na, Dashi, what's wrong with Chuan-kun?"

Looking at Chuan, who had been exuding low air pressure and walking in front full of resentment, Eiji covered his mouth and muttered to Oishi in a low voice, "It's so strange." ”

"I don't know, but it has something to do with Nagasaki-san."

"Huh? What does it have to do with Na Ryo sauce? ”……

"What are you muttering?"

As soon as the two of them, who were muttering to each other, looked up, they saw that Chuan, who was walking in front, had turned around and stared at them with a gloomy face.

"Hehe, nothing, nothing."

Waving his hands again and again, Eiji and Oishi laughed and stepped back.

"If it's okay, let's go! If you delay any longer, you won't be able to reach dawn! ”

Angry with a snort, Chuan turned back irritably, his pace getting faster and faster.

"Hmm, it's scary."

"Alright, let's go."

patting Eiji's shoulder soothingly, Oishi felt more and more that he had raised a cute cat named Eiji, and when he thought of this, he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

No, no, no......

Kneeling limply in the deep grass at the bottom of the valley, Sakurano hung her head, her hair was scattered, and her expression was mottled, and there was nowhere to go.

She followed the silver light and fell to the bottom, but fortunately she only fell on the rotting and softened mud of the old grass, except for the cheek cut by a horizontal branch when she fell, but she was not injured.

However, Sakura Nai covered her sour eyes with her hands, the scars on her cheeks were bloody, and she didn't feel much pain, she still didn't find it, that person, the only one, the only one left for her.

Holding her head, the intense pain made her almost scream out of control, and this kind of panic felt like an empty piece in her heart......

What the hell is going on......

"Sakura-chan, Sakura-chan!"

A familiar voice came unexpectedly overhead, Sakura put down her hand, and followed the sound in pain, and saw Long Ya climbing the sharp stones protruding from the cliff wall and climbing downward, coming for her, although the sky was dark, she could also see an intermittent red line on the cliff wall.

"Long Ya."

She chased after the object as she fell, but she vaguely remembered that the vines on the side of the road only extended halfway to the cliff face, and then went on.

Seeing Ryuya standing still at the bottom of the valley, Sakurano looked at his slightly frowning brows in a daze, looking at the mottled blood color of his hands......

After a while, she was speechless, lowered her head silently, and finally a tear finally flowed out of her extremely sour eyes, crossed her eyelashes, crossed the blood, crossed the corners of her lips, and then, fell, slightly wet grass tips.

"Sakura-chan, are you alright?"

Walking in front of the kneeling Sakura, Long Ya squatted down and spoke with concern, but Sakura didn't react for a long time

"Sakura-chan?"

"Well, it's fine."

The voice was a little hoarse, Sakura raised her head, slightly bent her eyebrows, and smiled calmly, "I'm fine." ”

"What's wrong with the face? Scratched? ”

The blood on Sakura's face seeped deeper and deeper, and he could see the unstoppable blood spilling out of the scar, Long Ya was about to reach out to inspect it, but his hand was held by Sakura Nai first, and the strength was so great that he frowned slightly.

"My face, it's fine. But, Echizen Ryuya, you're probably crazy. ”

Sakura smiled shallowly, in her eyes, she couldn't distinguish sorrow and sorrow, word by word, extremely calm.

"You must have forgotten that you are a golfer, you must have forgotten that your hands are used to hold the racket, you must be crazy, stupid, stupid, to do such a boring stupid thing."

"Sakura-chan,"

Long Ya looked at Sakura, whose expression was obviously abnormal, frowned, and called lightly, but saw that Sakura had stood up calmly, "Go back, let's go back, I'm so tired." ”

"Well, good. From here there is a path that leads to the top of the mountain, us, Sakura-chan! Sakura-chan! ”

Halfway through speaking, he saw Sakura's figure fall down, and Long Ya hurriedly stretched out her arm to support the fainting girl.

After calling a few times, Sakura Nai didn't react, and without thinking about it, Long Ya picked her up and ran to the mountain road, only to find that the person in her arms was slender and thin, and it was surprisingly light.

The valley behind him was quiet, except for the murmuring of a stream across the valley floor, glowing slightly in the moonlight. At that time, the mountains and forests, the mountain winds, the valleys, among all things, above the tips of the grass, who was more bitter about gains and losses?

"Huh! You're really useless! ”

Sneering at the disdainful mockery, in the dim darkness, a haughty voice suddenly appeared, lingering around the ......

Sakurano curled up in a corner, buried her head in her lap, and listened to the mocking tone, trembling uncontrollably, no matter what, she couldn't control her trembling when she heard this familiar, devilish voice, no matter how prepared she was.

"What's the use of saying so many big words, and in the end it's not that you can't hold anything and can't remember? Now, even the only thing she left you is lost. ”

The mockery was hidden, replaced by deafening bewitchment and temptation, "It's better to give yourself to me, go and liberate, and become stronger with peace of mind." ”

"Think about the way those people looked at you, they are not qualified to stand in front of you, they deserve to be crushed by you. After defeating, you can forget about her with relief. ”

"Winner, don't be obsessed with the weak, that's what she taught you, just do it. Come, leave yourselves to me......"

The gentle seductive sound of waves surged from all directions, and Sakurano hugged her knees, her eyes struggling with complicated eyes.

It's not like that, it's not what you said, there was a voice in her heart tearing and retorting, she opened her mouth and wanted to shout, but she didn't even have the strength to spit out a word, so tired, tired...... She...... Can't remember anything......

"It's all your mom who caused it, my dad can't play anymore! Monster! Demon! ”

"Stay away from us! You monster! ”

"Same as her mother! She's a demon! Don't approach her! ”……

"I heard that if you look at her mother, you won't be able to play again! It's scary, it's scary! ”

"yes, yes! She's just like her mother! I heard that in the last tryout, Kai only played one match with her and then got bruised all over her body, so she hasn't recovered yet. ”

"Oh my God! Kai is so gentle! It's horrible! Is she the devil! ”

"Let's go, let's go! Stay away from her! ”……

"You know what. That little monster's mother is dead! ”

"Yes! Deserve! ”

"yes, my dad said a lot of people can't play because of her! This is retribution! ”

"Humph! That little monster won't end well! "That's it! Let's go, let's go! When I saw her, I felt unlucky! ”

The light and shadow of the past kept turning back in the eyes, and every sentence was a fine needle, piercing into the heart, and the pain was a little numb, only

An astringent feeling that overflows the chest.

Memories are coming back......

Kai, the very gentle and gentle boy, the only playmate who was willing to approach her, turned out to be what she did.

"I'm fine, don't cry!"

Covered with scars and carried away on a stretcher, he actually smiled so softly, which made her cry even more desperate, what the hell was she doing.

At that moment, she wished that those gentle and smiling eyes could be replaced, hateful, disgusted, only, only not to be, so gentle......

"You just remember that woman like that? Don't you remember, she's the one who makes you carry so much! She abandoned you so badly! All you have to do is trample her down! ”

The fluttering voice carried a hint of resentment.

"That madman! What a mess of dreams! Aspiration! Create such a tennis ball! She was still so naïve to think about the dream of that Raushzi! Isn't it, are you going to go crazy with her! ”

The voice full of endless anger shocked all Sakura's body and mind, and she was speechless, just clasped her knees tightly, and her eyes were blank.

"Your future, your everything, is mine! Since you have created such a powerful me, you are useless and still cry here with that ridiculous dream! ”

The voice seemed to be a little out of control, with irrepressible despair, coldness, and resentment.

"I'm going to use this demonic tennis ball she taught me to destroy all the ridiculous and weak people who have hurt us, as well as this useless tennis ball, without leaving ...... behind."

"You lost it."

After a sudden pause, a nervous laugh, the arrogant voice sounded again in the darkness, with schadenfreude in it, "Is that woman not wanting you again?" ”

"Don't ...... anymore Said ......"

Burying her head in her palm, Sakurano stared wearily at the swirling deep black with a bleak gaze through her fingers, and her voice was extremely faint hoarse, "Please...... Say no more......"

"Humph!"

The cold snort, the mocking voice in the darkness didn't seem to want to say anything more, and he hid to the side, leaving only the evil despair enveloping Sakurano who was curled up.

She closed her eyes tiredly, pretending to ignore the depressing breath, and the corners of her lips were slightly bitter.

The voices of despair and darkness faded away, and Sakurano held her still aching head, but there was a very empty and moving call behind her, and she turned her head......

For the first time in the darkness, there was a faint light light, a vague light, and a faint figure was hidden in it, and the brilliance of the surrounding stars flickered......

Sakurano stood up in a daze, step by step, his eyes a little hollow towards the seemingly extremely warm light......
