"Ha, it's raining, it's really annoying......"

Looking at the rain outside from the wooden hallway, Tachibana Yukino sighed softly.

The sky turned completely gray, and thick clouds obscured the day, and there was not a single ray of sunlight in sight.

In the past, she didn't hate rain so much.

A sunny day after a rain always gives people a feeling of refreshment and refreshment. The rain that falls from heaven literally washes all the impure things into the underground aqueducts and washes everything on earth.

That's a process of sublimation.

The rain falls rhythmically on the roof and slides down from the eaves like a curtain made of countless pearls.

Enjoy the unique elegance of a rainy day———— try to embrace this ecological cycle of nature, instead of criticizing it for making life inconvenient from the personal perspective of modern civilized society, and slowly you will feel the tranquility with natural beauty.

Forget the troubles of the world for a while in a quiet environment, look at your life with an attitude of reminiscence, and let your thoughts flow slowly in your mind.

It is also a joy for modern people who are used to being busy and whose life is always full of oppression.

The reason why she hates rainy days now is only because of practical considerations.

Despite the fact that this is an ecological cycle of nature———— under normal circumstances, not many people are able to put away their clothes before it rains.

If it's cloudy all the time, it can still make people wary. However, this kind of sudden rainstorm, as if the heavens are looking at human beings unpleasantly and suddenly want to play a prank, can only be described as a disaster.

Even when her legs were still there, it was impossible to put away all her clothes in that instant. It's even more impossible to do in a wheelchair these days.

The laundry, which had been dried with great difficulty, became wet again.

What is even more hateful is that because of her limited mobility, the task of rescuing clothes in the rain has added a lot of difficulty to her.

In the past, she had tried to ignore the rain that fell on her body and rushed out, but she was scolded by her friends on the spot.

And rightfully so.

Although she used to stand at the apex of the 13th Division of the Military Department, she was a figure who resembled a hero to ordinary people, but now she is just a disabled person.

It is an ironclad fact that it becomes inconvenient. Even if you can knock down the thugs with one hand, you won't be able to get up and walk around again, or just float around.

Because of this, she was given many life bans by her friends and sister. One of them is not allowed to recycle clothes alone on rainy days.

Therefore, now she can only stay in the corridor, watching the clothes hanging outside being drenched like chickens in soup.

This feeling of being in the middle of the scene but unable to do anything about it, as if one's own existence is also dispensable, is simply terrible.

However, this is not the main reason why she has become disgusted with rainy days......

"Boom ——!"

“————!”

As if it exploded in his ears, the sudden thunder made Tachibana Yukino unconsciously shake his spirits.

Like a frightened rabbit, his face with delicate facial features suddenly turned blue.

Yes, that's another reason why she hates rainy days.

When it comes to rain, it is always accompanied by thunder. This is almost common sense. However, it is precisely this natural phenomenon that Tachibana Yukino is basically indifferent to it.

Perhaps, this is human nature.

Even if you understand that the probability of thunder and lightning directly slashing at you is almost equivalent to a prize ticket that suddenly falls from the sky and wins the jackpot and can get tens of millions of prizes, when the thunder explodes, you still can't help but imagine the worst.

It's not a question of weakness.

Human beings are inherently thinking creatures, and since they can think, they must be accompanied by imagination. Imagine a beautiful picture that is not your own, imagine the worst situation for yourself.

As people grow older, they gradually learn how to use their reason to block out unnecessary delusions, which are things called "common sense". However, this does not mean that they can do the same when they are in it, but simply force themselves to "not think" to a certain extent.

Thinking about the possibility of being affected by the external environment is, in the final analysis, nothing more than an extension of the survival instinct and the sense of crisis. This is especially true for people who are missing certain functions.

Once upon a time, Tachibana Yukino was not afraid of thunder at all.

To put it mildly, even if the lightning did fall in front of her, she could sense the crisis in an instant, and draw her blade to fight back while trying to dodge.

Through the use of "metaphorical energy", the cherry blossom petals are used to form a barrier in front of him———— and at that time, it is a competition of strength.

Even if her "metaphorical energy" was really worse than the wrath of nature, she could retreat to the safety circle with a moment's delay.

But that's all in the past. He had already sunk to the bottom of the sea two thousand miles away with the mobility of her feet.

Now she can't walk. There is no way to dodge nature.

Imagine————— just imagine, if the thunder from the sky really fell on her, and the barrier formed by the "divine energy" she gathered in a hurry could not stop the thunder from the sky...... At that point, the only thing that awaits her is death.

Like a scorched one, black charcoal that turns straight into nothing is annoying. However, it was also annoying to be hit by lightning but not die, and to become a vegetative-like existence.

Although it is superfluous imagination, such a picture lingers in my mind. This was exacerbated by the successive thunderclaps.

"Why haven't Xiao Qian and Xiao Wei come back yet? It's almost seven o'clock......"

Friends and sisters, who should have returned home, have not been seen until now. In this big house that she bought after retirement and shared with her sister and friends, she was the only one who stayed here, waiting for her sister and friends to return.

Normally, the two of them would have been back at this time. A reliable friend would inevitably snatch a job cooking, and she sat at the dinner table and listened to her lovely sister share her experiences at school or at work.

Even if you understand that even if these two people are present, it is impossible to protect yourself in the event of a thunderstorm, and if you stay with someone close to you, it will not be so easy to be cranky.

Maybe it's the influence of this weather, and I only have a bad premonition in my heart.

"Forget it, I'd better go back to the house......"

Just as I was thinking so.

"Boom ————!!!!"

Louder thunder fell than it had just been.
