The time was on the evening of March 9.

The rain-soaked ground reflected the light of the street lamps, and the sound of water sounded on the wet pavement.

Although I deliberately took shelter from the rain in the hospital, I didn't start to rush back until now, but the moisture of the rain still clings to my skin, making mature women with short blue hair feel very uncomfortable.

She glanced up at the gloomy sky and night, and sighed wordlessly—

"It's an inopportune rain, I'm sorry, Miss Fujino. It's another ten minutes walk to my office, and before that...... Please bear with me a little longer. ”

The sun was shining so brightly during the day, but in the afternoon it was raining heavily. Although the rain stopped in the evening, there was still a lot of rain on the asphalt road.

Immediately behind Aozaki Orange is a girl in a black uniform.

She shook her head slightly, and just said in a slender voice, "It's okay, Miss Orange." ”

The girl's eyes are very calm, and she looks very quiet. The small upright face is also very cute, and it has a beauty similar to that of a Japanese doll.

The hair on the forehead is beautifully cut and smooth, and the uniform on her body looks like that worn by a nun of the church, which is simple but reminiscent of the beautiful design of banquet costumes, and at a glance it is easy to remind people of a noble lady.

In fact, judging from the information obtained from the limited conversations along the way, Aozaki Orange knew that this was indeed a real eldest lady.

The other party's name is Asagami Fujino, and he was born in the Asagami family, but the Asagami family is a branch of the Asagami family in Nagano.

The latter is a family with the same name as the Liangyi family behind the girl he has been in charge of for the past few days, but the Asagami family has gone bankrupt a few years ago.

So for several years after that, until now, their main focus has been on the development of the family, and they urgently need to obtain a large amount of money to pay off the debts owed.

As for why Aozaki Orange and Asakami Fujino are inexplicably walking together at this time, it's completely because-

It was Asakami Fujino who found Aozaki orange, not the other way around.

That was at noon today, five hours ago.

……

……

"I see, because Weaving-kun doesn't have the right to dominate, can't he use the flesh?"

In the single room, sitting on the chair next to the bed as usual, Aozaki Takashiko, who plays the role of a life counselor, said happily and buried her head in the notebook to record something.

"It's getting more and more interesting, you two."

“……”

The two ceremonies on the hospital bed seemed to be frowning, and she couldn't understand what was so interesting about it.

This female doctor comes over every day at noon, and although it is not necessarily punctual, it can be regarded as very regular. And for some reason, she knew a lot about the two ceremonies.

Whether it's about the girl's dual personality that only the people of the Liangyi family know, or the murder incident two years ago that is related to the girl, she knows it.

Although this kind of thing is nothing at all according to the feeling of the two rituals themselves now, she has neither the idea of saying it nor the intention of hiding it.

But under the tireless efforts of Aozaki Orange, the two ceremonies gradually spoke, and they were willing to keep talking with each other within a certain limit.

I don't know when she seems to have used the conversation with the other party as the basis for confirming the empty day.

"So—are you still sleeping? He. ”

Aozaki Orange, who was quickly joting down something in the notebook on her lap, looked up and looked at the long, straight-haired black girl on the hospital bed whose eyes were still bandaged.

“……”

“……”

The two ceremonies really didn't make a sound, although she was probably the only one who could answer this question. But she did not answer the female doctor's words, but only turned her head away, hinting as usual that the conversation was over for the day.

A girl who can't see anything, feels lonely.

However, that did not comfort the emptiness in the chest at all, and even if you could feel a little sadness, this heart without feeling would change somewhat. It was a very contradictory experience, she felt anxious and restless, but she had no real feeling.

There are two rituals of another self in herself, but the current situation is that the weaving is no longer there, so she can't even tell whether she is a style or a weaving.

There is no weaving in her midst. It was only because of this that she considered herself a formula.

It's so ridiculous and funny that if either of the two is gone, the rest of the two don't even know which one they are.

It is precisely because she is no one that she feels that the memories of the two rituals do not belong to her. Even if you have an empty shell called the Two Rituals, it is meaningless for the contents to be washed away.

"Really? Then it really died, and when there was an accident two years ago, I died in your place. ”

After a long silence, Aozaki Orange's nib of the pen that jumped deftly on the paper stopped. At the moment when the question was subconsciously asked, she already had a premonition that something was wrong, but she couldn't take it back.

"So there is a deficit in your memory, and since you have lost him, then that memory can never be recovered."

But there is only one thing I don't understand, there is no reason for the weaving to disappear. Because if you had been quiet at that time, wouldn't it have disappeared just the style? Why would he expect his disappearance?

Seeing that the girl on the hospital bed had fallen down again, Aozaki Orange, who knew that asking again would not be fruitful, closed the notebook with interest, she showed some chagrin, but quickly returned to normal.

"Your eyesight will be restored in a few moments, and I would like to warn you here, or rather, you would rather open a little more yourself, and stop poking your own eyes......"

While putting the chair away, she seemed to think of something, and quickly turned around and admonished-

"You can still see the ruined part of those eyes, and it's like a curse, even if you lose it, you will still come back."

“……”

“……”

“…… What the? Wait, why...... Will you know? ”

The two ceremonies sat up from the hospital bed again, and there was inevitably a doubt in her voice that she couldn't hide and didn't want to hide, the other party even knew such a thing?

"Eyes of Death, I thought it was nonsense, but now it seems that his pair is probably the same...... Ahem, forget it, it would be a shame if you lost those eyes like that. ”

Aozaki Orange said as a matter of course.

The two ceremonies visibly frowned, but just as she was about to say something.

- I only heard a "bang"! The door seemed to have been pushed open from the outside.

"Excuse me, are you Aozaki Orange...... Miss? ”

A thin and somewhat weak voice came, and a girl with long hair and a slight gasp seemed to be running all the way up, looking at the life counselor in the ward with some uncertainty.

“……”

Aozaki Orange frowned slightly, a little unclear what was going on, looking at it like this...... When did you owe her money?

At the same time, there was a dull thunderclap in the sky outside, and there was a faint hint of moist coolness in the air.

……

……

Go back to the current timeline, after evening, at nightfall.

"I'm sorry, but I was rude at that time—"

The voice was as thin as a thread, and the quiet girl apologized softly.

"I'm really embarrassed, because I've been looking for this for more than a month, and I finally heard the news from you, Miss Aozaki."

"I can understand, but can I take the liberty of asking......" Aozaki Orange looked at the outline of the abandoned semi-finished commercial building in front of her, and looked back with some amusement, "Why do you want to find him so much?" ”

Faced with this question, Asakami Fujino first exhaled a long breath, and then seemed to think hard for a while, before he said with some distress: "I, hate that person? ”

"Huh? Hate, hate? Aozaki Orange was slightly stunned for a moment, and the teasing expression froze on her face, because she heard the answer that was completely unexpected.

She looked at the other party carefully, but felt that the girl's doll-like face, the expression did not look like an emotional expression of hatred or hatred no matter how you looked at it.

And, most importantly -

"If it's really annoying, why is it an interrogative sentence?" Aozaki Orange shook her head amusedly.

Asakami Fujino shook his head lightly and blinked. Even she was confused about her current mood, perhaps...... It's because since she was born, she has never had an aversion to others.

So even the girl herself doesn't know.,Whether it's a hate or something else.,But it's really an unprecedented concern.,I can't let go of it at all.。

There is no basis, no reason.

She gently placed her hand on her abdomen and gasped slightly, or imperceptibly, slightly.

"But you really care, it's just a meeting, and I've been chasing it for more than a month."

Aozaki Orange happened to turn her head and went to her forehead, but she didn't see this scene.

"And I just asked someone to help check that guy's information, and I didn't find out anything, but you heard the rumors......"

"Because the impression is really deep, obviously not a girl, but in this era she has such long hair, and those eyes are ...... It's a little too dreamy. ”

Asagami Fujino replied by pretending to be calm, but his palm kept pressing against his abdomen, biting his lower lip imperceptibly.

"That's right, but actually, Miss Asajo, you don't know, the girl in the ward at noon today, if it weren't for the bandage on her eyes, the two of them would have looked very similar."

Orange Aozaki nodded, judging by the excitement from the corner of her mouth.

"I originally thought that those two people should be brother and sister, but now it seems that there is obviously something ...... Well, I guess it's getting interesting. ”

Asakami Fujino was slightly stunned for a moment, and then recalled the girl in the hospital ward at noon today, with long black hair full of bad luck and fair skin full of bad luck.

Then she didn't say anything, just lowered her head. The expression of the face is obscured by the neatly cut front hair, and it is not clear to see.

It's just that Aozaki Orange didn't notice it, after all, even if he was a crown humanoid master, he wouldn't inexplicably have an extra pair of eyes on the back of his head.

She just stretched out her hand and pointed to the semi-finished commercial building that was already approaching in front of her, and said in a tone that was not embarrassed at all:

"In front of me is my office, Jialantang. However, because of the opening of the barrier, most people who didn't come to me specifically would be hinted at when they came to this area, so they ignored this place. ”

"The guy you're looking for is here all this time...... Well, he wants to learn a trade from me, so of course he wants to be apprenticed with me until he learns that trade. ”

At the same time, he can also shine for Jialantang, that guy is simply so easy to use, almost an all-round top magician.

Aozaki Orange added in her heart.
