Tachibana is an ordinary Tokyo high school student who works part-time at a restaurant every day in addition to school.

The most adventurous thing he has ever done is to talk about an online relationship, an Internet that only knows the other party's name, but does not know whether the other party really exists.

"Is Sanye really a girl?"

After finishing his part-time job at the restaurant, Tachibana walked on his way home, and he looked at the young men and women strolling together on the road, and his heart was a little envious.

So, he thought of his 'girlfriend' Sanye.

The acquaintance with the three leaves is actually like a dream.,Tachibana Taki, who rarely chats on the Internet.,Dreamed of an unfamiliar contact method.。 This in itself is extremely unreasonable, because very few people can dream of things that they have never seen before, and that are real.

It is possible to dream of aliens, but it is impossible to dream of truly unfamiliar contact information.

Tachibana Taki, who originally wanted to make a dream like a dream in the past, disappear in his memory, but he has never forgotten that contact information.

Until one day, someone sent him a message.

"Hello, excuse me, what's your name?"

Tachibana thought he was dreaming again, because the number he sent the message was the contact information he dreamed of.

It actually is, really exists.

"What's your name?"

When replying to this message, Tachibana's hands trembled a little, but after replying, Tachibana calmed down.

Let's just think it's a dream.

"Three leaves!"

"Tachibana Taki!"

Since then,The two have been chatting a lot.,Sanye even began to teach Tachibana how to please girls.,Let Tachibana Taki pursue the most charismatic waiter foreman in the restaurant where he works part-time.。

And Tachibana Taki also taught Sanye something.,The feelings between the two sides.,Just like that, it was sublimated unconsciously.。

Tachibana Taki began to miss Mitsuha, and Mitsuha also began to miss Tachibana Tatsuki.

They agreed to meet in person.

But the appointed day came.,Shamrock didn't appear in Tokyo.。

Tachibana arrived home, and he thought, "Will it be ...... She's not a girl at all? It's like the kind that is common in online dating, so you don't dare to come to see me? ”

But Tachibana didn't believe his own inference.,Because in contact with the three leaves,,He can feel all kinds that only girls have.。

When night came, Tachibana looked at the night sky outside the window and suddenly remembered a blue snow that had fallen a few days ago.

"If you can watch that snow with Mitsuba...... It will be very happy. ”

Tachibana Taki, who couldn't sleep, thought of the three leaves.,And then I dreamed of the three leaves.,I dreamed that he and the three leaves were watching the light blue snow scene together.。

At dawn, Tachibana simply cleaned up, he didn't have to go to school today, he was originally going to work in a restaurant.

But he doesn't want to go.,He's going to find Sanye.。

Since Sanye didn't come to him, then he went to find Sanye.

Buy a ticket,Take the car,The excitement slowly turned into worry.,He's worried about some kind of speculation on his part.,He's worried that Sanye doesn't want to see him.,He's worried about whether Sanye is sick.。

Sanye hasn't contacted him for two days.。

Hida City arrived, Tachibana Taki found another car to go to Itomori Town, a remote mountain village under the jurisdiction of Hida City, with a small population, and a true shrine culture, which is also the place where Mitsuha lives.

"I'm really sorry, but there was a mudslide the other day that washed away the road to Itomori Town, so I can only send you here."

The driver said sincerely, "You can walk along this path uphill and south for about twenty minutes, and you will be able to reach Itomori Town." If there's no one to deal with that road for a few days, when you want to come back, you can call me and I'll pick you up here. ”

Tachibana Taki wasn't worried about walking for twenty minutes, he was worried about Mitsuha.

"Why is there a situation where mudslides destroy roads, and the government doesn't care?" Tachibana Taki's emotions were a little excited, and he asked, "What about the people in Itomori Town?" ”

The driver laughed and said, "Itomori Town itself has very little communication with the outside world, they are all self-sufficient, and few people go to other places. It was also at the end of last month that I sent a man who had returned from the United States to Itomori Town, and I learned about that path. ”

"As for the government, I don't know what they're doing, it's been a bit abnormal in the last month or two."

The driver left, and Tachibana took the path.

He looked at the scenery around him and suddenly felt an urge to stay and live, he was tired of the bustle of Tokyo and the fast-paced life of Tokyo.

He thought,If he can live here with Sanye,,It must be very happy.。

Twenty minutes away is not far, Tachibana Taki did not feel tired, and he already saw Itomori Town, a small town built on the mountain.

It was already evening, and the town was not yet lit up.

"Why isn't there smoke?"

Tachibana Taki, who walked towards Itomori Town, felt a little strange, didn't the book say that there would be cooking smoke in such a place?

Or is it that everything in modernization has made this world no longer have a quiet smoke?

While Tachibana was thinking wildly, he saw a few people standing on the edge of the town, and when they saw him, they rushed over.

This scene made Tachibana Taki couldn't help but stop, he didn't know what those people were doing, and he didn't know what those people were going to do.

By the time those people rushed to him, Tachibana heard his own heartbeat.

"Knock knock...... Knock knock"

The last time I heard such a fierce heartbeat was when I ran the 5,000-meter school sports meet.

Tachibana's legs were trembling as the men were screaming at him, like beasts trying to eat.

Their eyes have no black pupils, only gray.

But after those people rushed to Tachibana's side, they didn't attack, but just kept roaring around Tachibana.

Ten seconds or a minute, or more, the men left Tachibana's side and continued to wander aimlessly.

"It's ...... Shrine culture? ”

Because he was not attacked and did not see a corpse, Tachibana did not think of the possibility of zombies.

He looked at the men with some concern, and then slowly moved his steps into the town.

The men 'looked' at him again, but this time they didn't rush up.

Tachibana Taki ran wildly and rushed to the road of the town, where he saw a signboard that read—Shrine ahead.

He remembered that Mitsuha was living at the shrine in Itomori Town, so he rushed in that direction.

Then, he heard more running, and he thought it was the 'madmen' who had caught up again, so he didn't dare to look back.

He ran as hard as he could, and then he saw the gate of the shrine.

The door was open, and he rushed in, closed it with his hand, and as he closed it, he saw the scene behind him. Not only the first few 'madmen', but also many more 'madmen' chased after them.

He could even see that some of the 'madmen' still had blood stains and wounds on their bodies.

Tachibana leaned against the door, blocking the wooden door with all his strength.

However, he didn't feel the impact, and a few minutes later, he saw through the crack in the wooden door that the men were gone.

It was only then that Tachibana noticed that the wall next to him was not too high, and those neurotics had not been turned over through the wall.

Tachibana slumped to the ground and hugged his head, he was really scared.

He couldn't imagine that Sanye lived in such a place, how did she grow up?

Or is she the same?

At this moment, Tachibana heard the sound and looked up, he saw two people, two girls in school uniforms, one big and one small, the big one was about the same as him, and the small one should still be in elementary school.

The two girls, like the 'madmen' outside, looked at him with gray-white eyes.

Tachibana yelled loudly, he didn't know what he was calling, he was just venting his fear.

Just then, a somewhat old voice sounded.

"Young people, don't be afraid, as long as they don't bite you when they see you for the first time, they won't bite you in the future."

Tachibana Taki heard the first words after coming to Itomoricho, and he looked in the other direction in horror, an old lady with a gloomy expression was looking at the two 'girls' in front of him with very sad eyes.

The old lady said again, "Young man, you are not from our place, are you?" ”

Tachibana was still in fear, but he was able to answer the question, and he said, "I'm from Tokyo, I'm here to find someone." ”

The old lady sighed, never took her eyes off the two 'girls', and said: "Tokyo, my Sanye wants to go to Tokyo the most, but she ...... Never go again. ”
