No matter what kind of stage play, there is an end.

Before you know it, the last firework climbs into the night sky and then explodes, scattering into colorful points of light.

The fairy tale of this night has come to an end.

After the bright fireworks burned out, all that remained was the desolation when the song ended. It's just that because everyone is still immersed in the afterglow of the grand occasion just now, it hasn't been revealed for a while.

"It's not a big city fireworks show, but it'...... It's more fun than I expected. Thank you for inviting me here, Yuehua-kun. ”

Maybe it's because of that strong self-control.

In the next moment after the fireworks show, the usual reliable character was regained. With a smile on her face, Tachibana Yukino turned her head to look at Ji Yuehua.

Probably, this is the so-called "clever smile, beautiful eyes".

Neither dazzling gold nor silver that emits a soft glow, but black that seems to blend in with its surroundings.

Tachibana Yukino under the moonlight is like a picture painted with heart.

It's extremely distressing.

"......, Sister Yukino. If I find it annoying, I'll apologize first. ”

"What's wrong? All of a sudden, so serious?"

“......”

Ignoring Yukino Tachibana, who showed a look of surprise. After being silent for a while, Ji Yuehua silently took a step forward and came to the front of Tachibana Yukino.

And then......

“!!!”

Stretched out his hands and hugged the black-haired beauty in front of him.

The sudden physical contact suddenly sucked away Yukino's consciousness.

The same breath, the same chest, couldn't help but remind her of the touch of that night once again.

The difference is that she was in a panic at the time, and the hug was strictly just to calm her down, the same principle as holding a child with nightmares, and it was still in her home. This time, however, it was a surprise attack in public.

In less than a second, Tachibana Yukino's cheeks were already boiling crimson as if they had been boiled.

"Wait a minute! Yuehuajun, what are you doing here?"

Realizing that the people around him began to shift their attention from the quietly ending fireworks show to the two of them, the shame suddenly broke the table.

At that moment, Tachibana Yukino instinctively wanted to push Ji Yuehua away. However, Ji Yuehua's arms were as immobile as steel.

Realizing that he couldn't push Ji Yuehua away, Tachibana Yukino's pretty face became even redder. There was obvious panic in the black pupils, and the aura of being a senior sister had disappeared without a trace.

However.

At this moment, Ji Yuehua did not pay attention to this point.

He just leaned forward slightly, attached his lips to the ear of Tachibana Yukino, who had closed his eyes nervously, and then said softly, "Sister Yukino." Next week at the latest, I'll be heading far overseas to settle accounts with the black guy who will never be able to stand up for the rest of his life. This time...... It's to say goodbye. ”

"What"

The heavy tone as if saying goodbye instantly woke up Tachibana Yukino from the impact of the hug just now.

Be amazed at the true purpose of this date...... And that's just secondary.

As Ji Yuehua's senior, and at the same time, one of the people who had fought with the opponent in his mouth, Tachibana Yukino frowned reflexively.

You must know that she and Ji Yuehua are both retired people for a long time.

Although Ji Yuehua had briefly returned to the battlefield a while ago, in the end, he only stayed for less than a year, and just one S-Rank Calamity Beast made him disgraced.

The ancients said, "Sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat".

Just as she and Ji Yuehua's skills continued to regress because of the peaceful life, the black calamity beast was still active on the front line. Under the influence of the other, the two sides had already made a judgment before the official start of the war.

Waging revenge against an invincible opponent is, in other words, a search for death.

If it's something else. For the sake of the cute juniors, Tachibana Yukino may be able to open one eye, close one eye, and even if she suddenly courtes her, she will think about it seriously.

However, watching the juniors go to death, it is a matter of two things.

Of course, Tachibana Yukino believes that with Ji Yuehua's ingenuity, he will not be unaware of the problem of poor combat power.

Based on the sense of responsibility as a senior sister, and at the same time, mixed with the righteous indignation that Ji Yuehua still doesn't know how to cherish her life even now, Tachibana Yukino subconsciously bit her lip.

"Is that what Yakumo-sama meant?"

"No, Sister Zi and Sister Ruoxi don't know about this."

"Since that's not what they meant, why did you decide to run to the front on your own initiative?"

It seems that she is really angry, and Tachibana Yukino, who has always been very gentle, even her voice has become very cold.

However.

Facing the sense of oppression emanating from the seniors, Ji Yuehua did not waver in the slightest.

What to do had already been decided before he found Dongfang Canglong to help him with special training. At this point, it is impossible for him to hold back temporarily.

Most importantly, he had made up his mind.

This is to make a break from past causes. It's useless to stop me, I have a way to hide from Sister Zi and them to the front line. Once I join up with the main force there, even Sister Ruoxi will not be able to escort me back. ”

"I don't understand...... Yuehuajun, you give me the feeling that I obviously seem to have come out of the shadows of the past, why are you still obsessed with revenge now?"

"Because until now, I haven't been able to face my heart calmly."

Tachibana Yukino couldn't understand the meaning of this sentence for a moment, and blinked reflexively.

And Ji Yuehua showed a wry smile like masochism and continued.

“...... The last time I visited my home, I told you, right? Among my juniors, there is a person who is so serious that he is close to rigidity, and he likes to be strong very much. Thanks to her, I am now more sensitive to whether others are being strong...... Six years have passed, and I feel my conscience and tell me, have you really accepted all this?"

"I don't think there's anything wrong with my life right now......"

"So, who was the last time you screamed in fear because of the thunder? Will the previous ones be afraid of thunder? Don't tell me that I don't notice the subtle changes in my daily life. ”

The question without any disguise is closer to the core of the question than imagined, which is the truth that has always existed but has been ignored by her.
