"You are... Andasan? "Nishijima's inquiries are extremely uncertain.

"Yes, it's me." Anda replied, almost crying, "Nishijima-san, in your eyes, I'm an old woman, right?" ”

Nishijima didn't expect Anda to say the situation in front of him so directly, and he didn't know how to answer for a while, but he couldn't pretend that he didn't see it, so he could only nod slightly. She did see the real beauty Anda before, both on TV and in real life. But now the old man in front of him is Anda······

It's just a weird situation. Anda covered her face and cried in a girlish position, but her appearance was extremely old. A strong sense of division made Nishijima feel unreal, even more unacceptable than the Kiritaro she had seen before.

After all, Anda is a living person, and there is no analogy with a foggy Kiritaro.

Speaking of Kiritaro, Nishijima hasn't seen it since he came back from the world of strange talks, and it's quite curious to think about it, but Tsukasa Kurihara didn't mention that Nishijima can only hide this curiosity in his heart.

I don't know what to do in the face of a crying Andasi Island. She's not the kind of self-acquainted personality.,And she's not very good at comforting people.,Being able to have Reiko as a friend is because of Reiko's unremitting efforts in a month.。

It was too difficult for her to comfort a stranger now, but Tsukasa Kurihara next to her didn't have the slightest idea of talking, and even changed his sitting posture and picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip, nodding his head in recognition of Nishijima's craftsmanship.

Tsukasa Kurihara is wondering if to buy a hand-ground coffee machine and come back for Nishijima to try.

"Andasan, what's going on?" There was no way, Nishijima could only sit next to Anda and ask.

Nishijima's words were like a signal, Anda's crying suddenly increased, and the emotions she had hidden in her heart for nearly two months erupted because of Nishijima's inquiry: "I don't know what's going on, I really don't know anything." This happened when I got home after the variety show recording that night, and stood in front of the mirror after taking a shower. I watched my body age and become an old man. But I'm only twenty-two years old. I thought it was just my hallucination, but the same thing happened every day after that. Whether it's at home or at work, my appearance will change when the time comes. ”

"What's even more desperate is that no one but myself can see the changes in me. In the back, not only my appearance, but also my body movements have become the habit of the elderly, and so is my energy. Anda choked, "I went to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor said I didn't have any problems. Later, I went to see a psychiatrist and said that I was too stressed and asked me to rest. But how could I ignore what appeared in front of my eyes every day? I'm an idol, how can I use this body to communicate with fans without any psychological burden. I felt like a liar. ”

"I thought about graduating and finding a place where no one was around to spend the rest of my life quietly. But our community is in a period of development... But what can I do, what if one day only I can see my aging? In case ······ What if everyone finds out that I have become an old man during the recording of the show? Speaking of this, Anda choked and paused because he was too emotional, "I really can't do anything about it." ”

Sometimes you can show your emotions more in front of strangers. At this moment, Anda completely confided what she was thinking, and the sadness emanating from her could be perceived even by the most sluggish person, it was a complete despair of life. Anda has been suffering from it for a long time, not only about aging, but also because others don't understand.

She's reached a limit.

Nishijima wanted to say something, but the words couldn't be organized into words, so he could only repeat: "It's okay, it's okay." Kurihara-san···· Our President Kurihara is very powerful, President Kurihara? ”

Nishijima looked over at him for help, and when he heard Nishijima's words, Anda also looked up at Tsukasa Kurihara.

Tsukasa Kurihara put the coffee down, and while thinking about grinding the coffee beans into powder, he said to Anda, "Would you like a cup of coffee, Nishijima's craftsmanship is quite good, although it is only instant coffee." I'm going to buy a hand-ground coffee machine that you can try next time. ”

"Huh?" Adachi didn't understand the meaning of Tsukasa Kurihara's sudden mention of this topic, she stopped crying and replied, "Sorry, I don't drink much coffee. ”

"That's a shame." Tsukasa Kurihara said with great pity, and suddenly the conversation changed, "Can I check your hand?" ”

"Huh? Well. Anda was stunned and agreed, but Tsukasa Kurihara didn't play according to the routine throughout the whole process, making her thinking a little unable to keep up.

With permission, Tsukasa Kurihara leaned over and spread Anda's hand in his palm with his right hand, then wiped his left index finger on the back of her hand and rubbed the fingertips, and then put his finger that had touched Anda in front of his eyes to observe.

If it was under normal circumstances, Tsukasa Kurihara's actions at this time would undoubtedly be a manifestation of the apprentice, but because of his age, Anda was not sure for a moment whether Tsukasa Kurihara was rubbing oil or really trying to find a way to solve the problem that happened to her.

Now that she is aging, only she can see it, and if Tsukasa Kurihara can't see it, isn't it taking this opportunity to get close to the beauty. If Tsukasa Kurihara can see it····· Anda thought about how she thought this person was even more perverted.

"Andasan, don't worry, the world in my eyes is not the same as yours." Tsukasa Kurihara seemed to hear Anda's complaint, and responded without raising his head, "Of course I'm not a disciple, and it can't be a pervert." And I've seen a lot of beautiful women. It's a bit of a showmanship, but I just hope you'll be able to relax a bit. ”

"Twenty-two is always twenty-two, and it is impossible to age suddenly. There is a basic rule in everything, even if it is a strange story. Tsukasa Kurihara said as he let go of the hand holding Anda, grabbed her wrist and held it up in front of Anda's eyes.

I saw that the folds and aging skin in the places that had been wiped by Tsukasa Kurihara seemed to be ironed to restore the brilliance of young people, but the places next to him that had not been touched were still ravines.

Adachi couldn't believe it, she held her hand in front of her eyes and rubbed it, but nothing changed except where Tsukasa Kurihara had moved. Tsukasa Kurihara waited quietly for Anda to try, put his hand back in his pocket and touched the potion bottle that he took out of the foot merchant's coat, thinking that it was indeed the case, which means that the strange story that Anda encountered at the moment was a test prepared for him by the foot merchant.

Of course, Tsukasa Kurihara could see the changes in Anda, and all of Anda's movements slowed down five times from the time the wrinkles appeared. In Tsukasa Kurihara's eyes, there is a world that ordinary people, even ordinary weirdos, can't perceive.

In Tsukasa Kurihara's field of vision, a fine dust appeared as Anda's body began to tremble. He saw how Anda's skin was aging, with bare hands experiencing a decrease in sebum secretion, epidermal cells being inactivated, and the body beginning to slack and form wrinkles.

Then it reaches the neck.

As the skin on his neck changed, the dust, which had been ignored by Tsukasa Kurihara, began to float upwards against gravity, and the granular dust rose lightly in the air like a feather, shaking and finally landing on Anda's neck. Immediately after that, the skin of the neck repeats the aging process. Grabbed the neck and the dust continued to float up Anda's face, finally forming his current appearance.

It's exactly as described in the book of the Foot Merchant Jacket.
