"Enlightenment"

"I've heard about Hana lately, too."

"Is Sakitai-san's recent life at school as colorful as that of April?"

"I am always very envious and yearn for campus life, but unfortunately I still need to retreat for a few days after the pain has just recovered."

"Maybe I can meet Sakina-san before the cherry blossoms are gone."

"The feelings of Sijun in my heart are urgent, and I will write to tell you."

"Gifts"

"Tachibana Forever: Sakita Gogawa"

At two o'clock in the afternoon, in the newly opened MOC coffee shop.

In the corner seat sat a man and a woman, and the young man in the middle looked at the letter in his hand with a frown.

"Is it for you? When the elders of the Tachibana clan handed it to me, they only said, 'The recipient is a boy surnamed 'Gokawa', about the same age as you. But the exact name was not given to me. ”

The girl took a sip of honey tea and said softly.

Sakita Gokawa nodded, although he didn't want to admit it, but it was indeed for him.

'What has this guy been through?' ’

The letter is too formal, and it makes Gokawa Saki a little numb.

In his impression, Tangerine is a meat joke with an open mouth and a closed mouth; Guys who spend all day studying role-playing games and first-person shooters.

The dream is to make a two-dimensional game that is famous all over the country.

The standard LSP otaku image.

How is it possible to write such an epistle?

Has the second secondary disease recurred?

"Great! Fortunately, there was no mistake, and the task was completed well. Kujou Hoshika breathed a sigh of relief and smiled happily after receiving an affirmative answer.

Sakita Gokawa read the letter again from beginning to end.

"Kujo-san, did that elder tell you who the sender is?"

He finally found something unusual in the letter.

The girl shook her head, "No." ”

The letter is never written in kanji, but in the kana "とわ".

But in fact, in Gokawa Sakita's memory, the kana corresponding to "forever" in Tachibana's name should be "えいえん"

Although both mean "forever", there are some differences – the former is usually a feminine name, while the latter is more applicable to men.

"Tachibana, you shouldn't have awakened some pseudo-girl attributes......

"Did you tell you if the sender was a man or a woman?" Sakita Gogawa continued to ask.

"Nope."

He mentally recalled the specific image of Tangerine Forever: a long hair with yellow hair over the ears (for men), a petite build, and a height of only 164 cm.

It seems to be really suitable for women's clothing......

"Part of the reason for this date was the sender's request." Kujou Hoshika clasped his hands together on the table, leaned forward slightly, and said with a smile, "The elder told me that the sender was worried about the recipient's psychological state and hoped that I could spend a little more time with him. ”

"'Whether it's chatting, shopping, or having a meal with him, I hope he doesn't miss out on the cherry blossoms that bloom in April in Tokyo.'" ”

Under the sun at half past two in the afternoon, the girl in the window seat of the café has a smile like April when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, and there are no impurities.

The honey black tea seemed to be volatilizing, and the sweetness filled the air, making Sakuta Gokawa a little dazed.

"Kujou-san..."Sakita Gokawa stepped forward and grabbed the girl's little hand, and said sincerely:

"Make miso soup for me every morning."

"Huh!" Startled by the sudden confession, Kujo Hoshika panicked and broke free of Sakita Gokawa's hand and twisted his head to the side.

"It's not because I'm handsome......

Sakita Gokawa inexplicably felt a little bitter in his heart.

"Well, I'm... Ah no... Can you give me some more time to think about it? The tips of the nine stars were a little red, and the voices of the nine stars became much quieter.

Ahh ’

This also proves that the other party invited him to date not because he had a crush on him, but out of some kind of sympathy.

'But what if...'

Such compassion is also too cheap.

He smiled bitterly in his heart helplessly,

'You,'

'Too nosy, too. ’

He got up from his seat and said loudly and loudly:

"It's okay! I could have waited a lifetime for this smile! ”

"The ......"

Kujou's voice was so weak that she could barely hear it, and she twisted uneasily, and suddenly slammed to her feet. The little face was flushed and he looked at the young man in front of him, and shouted as if he was about to cry:

"I'm sorry !!!"

Then he turned and ran out of the café.

Only Sakita Gokawa was left standing alone.

The other customers and even the staff at MOC Cafe couldn't help but follow the sound.

What was once a hidden corner has become the focal point of the store.

A middle-aged uncle who was drinking latte shouted at him, "What are you doing here?" Hurry up and catch up! You kid. ”

Sakita Gokawa smiled lightly,

Isn't it true that people are constantly meddling in their own lives? ’

'Otherwise, what's the point of living?' ’

He looked at the middle-aged uncle.

The uncle gave him a thumbs up and smiled crookedly: "Such a beautiful girl, you can't just give up!"

Hard work pays off! ”

"That's not how God rewards hard work, uncle!"

Sakita Gokawa left a thousand-yen bill and rushed out of the café.

At the same time, I received several cheers from my male compatriots:

"She ran to the east! Catch up! ”

"You can't just give up! Juvenile! ”

......

It's a rare weekend break, and the middle-aged people who come to the café to spend time are particularly scrappy and cheer for Sakita Gokawa.

Burning even more than himself......

Kujo Hoshiko, dressed in a white dress, stops under a blooming cherry blossom tree with her back to Sakita Gokawa.

The boy stopped, quietly waiting for the girl to turn around.

"Look," Kujou Hoshika looked up slightly, looking at the cherry blossoms flourishing in the trees.

The breeze blows, the cherry blossoms are flying, the long hair moves slightly, and the skirt is lightly fluttered.

"The cherry blossoms are blooming."

Sakita Gokawa stood silently in place, quietly looking at the girl surrounded by cherry blossoms in front of her.

I used to think there were three types of people in this world. One is loyal to desires; One is the pursuit of fame and fortune; One class goes with the flow. ’

'And without permission to attribute the good for no reason to the ranks of desire......

There is no doubt that this goodness is wrong and needs to be corrected. ’

'Kujo ......'

Eventually man becomes impure. ’

Like a scene from an anime, the picturesque girl turned around with her hands behind her back, smiled and asked softly:

"Let's start with friends, okay?"

Pure as a clear spring, soft as a spring breeze, from the heart, without pretense.

"Yoyo~~"

The office workers in the café came outside the store at some point, and the middle-aged uncle who had just given Sakuta Gokawa a thumbs up even whistled.

"The cherry blossoms are blooming!"

"Boy, get over here!"

......

"Kujo-san,"

Sakita Gogawa whispered:

"The cherry blossoms will fall."

The girl smiled as well,

"Take a group photo so it doesn't fall off."
