readx; "No way!"
The body made a natural movement, and just hugged Kotomi into his arms. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Huh? ā¦ā¦ā
"Please, please...... Please, don't say this sad thing anymore...... Because I also like Kotomi, and if Kotomi is gone, I will be very sad. ā
Because Kotomi's sadness is my sadness.
Because in the saddest and saddest time, I failed to protect her.
But I know.
The beauty of Kotomi in front of me is real.
Although the pain in my heart has never diminished in the slightest since that day.
But now, I'm here to greet her.
I want her to go with me into a wider and brighter world outside.
And won't leave her alone here anymore.
"I ...... too"
"I too, I like friends...... I'm very special and like it.,I've always liked it since the first meeting.,But ...... I'm so scared...... Because I know that no matter how important a person is, there will always be a departure, and the happiest moment will pass, and I can't do anything, I'm so afraid of all this......"
"I'm right here...... I'm here right now, always watching Kotomi, and from now on, and forever, I'll always be by your side. ā
"But...... But, one day, it will never be seen again. ā
Is that...... When death comes.
"yes...... We can't be together forever, the day when we can never see each other again, there will always come, when will it be, I don't know, it's not good, it's possible now...... But ......"
I gently stroked Kotomi's hair with my fingertips.
The boyish hair ornament swayed like words waiting for me.
"Even if I leave Kotomi first, I will always stay by Kotomi's side, even if I can't see me and can't convey anything, I will always be by Kotomi's side, always looking at Kotomi. I will always guard Kotomi, even if I can't see each other, I will always be by Kotomi's side, so that Kotomi will no longer hesitate, and Kotomi will be happier day by day. So. I ......"
I hugged the ...... tightly with my arms
This girl in front of me has been waiting for me.
A girl who meets again.
This blank period of separation, the years of forgetting.
Make it up well and gently.
"What about me...... I'm a crybaby, and if Tomoya-kun wasn't there, I'd definitely cry. Maybe the tears won't stop anymore, even if I'm around, maybe I'll not notice, maybe I'll start to hate Tomo-kun, even so...... Will you be with me forever? ā
"Hmm."
"Will you keep looking at me?"
"Hmm."
"Even if we can't see each other. Will you look at me, too? ā
"Definitely...... Because that's where my happiness lies. ā
"But ......"
"No but."
The lips touched.
But it felt a little familiar.
Always waiting for me, little girl.
Kotomi is right next to me.
From now on, I will always be by my side......
Gently parted lips, and kissed again.
Hold Kotomi tighter.
Remember them all forever.
Even if I'm not in this world anymore.
Even if one day, I did disappear.
But Kotomi and I have been together for a long, long time......
And then......
The two of us sat down next to each other on the floor.
Leaning over his shoulder, he looked at the garden dyed golden by the setting sun.
It's always been like this since I was a kid.
The two sat in silence.
Sun and wind. Every second becomes more gentle.
Kotomi stood up.
Walk into the courtyard.
Gently step on the grass with bare feet.
Her long, silky hair seemed to tell a little secret.
I followed.
Kotomi breathes quietly...... Slowly look around the courtyard.
"The wind is blowing...... Lawn, it feels very comfortable...... The smell of new lacquer, the smell of land and grass. The smell of beautiful flowers, the chirping of birds, the sound of swaying branches and leaves, the sun. Warm ......"
Put your hands together and hold the sunlight shining through the leaves.
"I can't see it. But I saw it, I couldn't touch it, but it was very warm, it's incredible......"
Kotomi described the things she noticed one by one.
Then, the book with the leather cover placed on the table was found.
There is no need to turn the pages of the old book anymore.
Because the two of us will continue that story.
"The day before yesterday was a bunny."
"Yesterday it was a fawn."
"Today, it's your ......"
The eyes that looked at me......
"You are, Tomoya-kun."
A glint of conviction flickered.
"Pengye-kun, it's Pengye-kun."
Gently calling my name.
"It's me, the most important person."
The two clasped hands.
Never separate again.
"Kotomi, let's go outside, it doesn't matter, there's nothing to be afraid of, I'll always be with you.
Kotomi nodded.
It's evening outside.
The setting sun shines on the streets of the neighborhood.
Kotomi, who is barefoot, looks out cautiously.
It's like a child going out for the first time.
It was like standing on the beach for the first time, barefoot and immersed in the rising waves.
āā¦ā¦ Very, incredible feeling. ā
She smiled childishly.
Then squint his eyes and look up.
Look up at the vast sky.
Look at those fiery clouds.
Kotomi looked at it like this for a long time.
It's as if I'm just remembering this eternal sky now.
The outside world.
Under the vast expanse of the sky.
There is a lot of future waiting that we don't know about.
"The sky, so beautiful......"
"yes...... It's beautiful. ā
I looked at Kotomi and smiled.
That's the person I will be with from now on.
Even if you can't see me, I'll keep looking at you.
Even if you can't see each other, you'll be there.
Even if one day, the two have to separate......
Now, this moment, in this world......
I feel the beauty of the piano, and the beauty of the piano feels me too.
"Tomorrow, you're coming to school, right?"
Back in the courtyard, breathing in the sweet scent of fresh grass, I asked Kotomi.
"Hmmm......"
======================================================================
"I see......
With the glow of the setting sun, Lin Yu was sitting on a bench in the park.
The owner of the silver suitcase, has been found......
"Now, Miku, is this a coincidence?"
Looking at the sky dyed with Akane sĆØ, Lin Yu asked Miku, who was sitting on his shoulder.
"It's not a coincidence...... Master, perhaps, this should be considered a must. ā
That's it, that's it......
Perhaps, this is inevitable.
