Whew-

After a heavy breath, that's probably how it feels.

Holding my head in the big bed, looking up at the sky outside the window, looking at the clouds that are darkening in the sky, and then I start thinking... What is the so-called life?

......

......

This is probably the sobering of the brain after the event.

Kamihara closed his eyes and sniffed the scent of sunflower flowers brought by the breeze of the manor outside the window.

He didn't really want to think about what life was, because he had figured it out since he was a child... All I need is to have someone who loves me, and then live every day happily.

Kamihara Le reopened his eyes, he turned around and looked at Tianhai Jiu Liuli, who was sleeping on the snow shoulder beside him.

See her little face in a deep sleep.

The face laughed unconsciously.....

Of course, there is also a hint of embarrassment because of what just happened......

Reaching out and pulling the quilt over her shoulder, Kamihara turned to the left, only to realize that July was no longer here.

Where did July run?

Seeing the empty quilt on the left side, which had been lifted, Kamihara Le grabbed his phone in the dark by the moonlight.

The screen lit up as soon as possible, and Kamihara was stimulated by the bright light to close his eyes.

He looked at the time carefully, and it was already three o'clock in the morning.

Originally... Have slept a little.

But where did July go?

It's three o'clock in the morning.

Maybe she's just going to drink water, maybe she's going to the bathroom......

But for some reason, seeing the empty position on the left, he felt that his heart was also lonely in this night.

Kamihara got up, put on his pants, and walked out of the largest bedroom in the estate.

Large villas like this one usually have the hallways fully lit up at night.

Kamihara walked to a nearby bathroom, knocked on the door, and waited for a few seconds without a response, only to find that Tianhai Qimingyue was not here.

Since she wasn't in the bathroom, where did she go?

Kamihara looked back at the spacious mansion and walked down the spiral staircase to the second floor to the living room...

He went all the way out of the gate, looked for the courtyard, and finally, under an old tree, saw the back of a girl standing in the sunflower field in the distance...

She was draped in a white bathrobe, bathed in the moonlight, and the evening breeze stirred the patches of sunflower flowers in front of her......

Because it is close to midnight, the temperature this year is higher than usual, so at this time, there are already crisp cicadas in the wild.

Kamihara looked at July's hazy back from afar...

She was looking into the distance, her flaxen hair fluttering in the night...

She looked extremely hazy in the dark moonlight...

Kamihara stepped over the path in the sunflower field and walked towards her.

......

"Why is July here?"

"Come out and breathe." The seven bright moons of the sky and the sea withdrew their gaze from the shadowless shadow of Mt. Fuji in the distance, and the lake outside the sunflower field shimmered.

She closed her eyes quietly... There is a smooth beauty on the face......

"It's... Not used to it? I think you should rest now." Kamihara's gaze fell directly on her beautiful features, just looking at her face now, I couldn't imagine what she looked like in bed just now......

"Why did my brother come out?" The seven bright moons of the sky sea opened their eyes and asked, their azure eyes shining with moonlight.

"I'm coming out to you."

"Then why did you come out to me?"

"Seeing you're not there... Naturally, I came out to look for you."

Tianhai Qi Mingyue looked at his face for a long time, and found that he was just wearing a pajamas, so he came out to look for himself at three o'clock in the morning......

"Although... Some words

Talking to you too much, you'll find it annoying... But I still want to say thank you."

[In view of the general environment,

Kamihara only felt strange, he approached her and took her hand, "Why is it so angry all of a sudden? Not before... Quite welcoming, isn't it? Didn't I go too far before?"

「......」

Tianhai Qi Mingyue shook her head in a wordless manner, and she turned to ask another question, "If I suddenly disappear one day, like tonight, will you still come to me like today?"

「... What are you saying stupidly in July?" Kamihara didn't understand the meaning of her question for a while.

Tianhai Qi Mingyue hugged his left arm with his right hand and continued to ask him, "Will it?"

"Definitely." While Kamihara Raku answered, he was also observing Qiyue, wondering why she suddenly became like this after sleeping for a while.

Originally, he didn't understand it at all.

But when she saw the thin yukata on July's body and ***'s shoulders, she guessed her inner thoughts......

That's right, I was comfortable patronizing before... After finishing the work, I also fell asleep......

He actually forgot that this time it was supposed to be a promise for July... July is actually in a very, very serious mood in her heart, asking herself for a place in her heart......

Although Ruri was there, July seemed to have a lot of fun.

But what if Ruri isn't there... Does this mean that this first experience is a kind of contract?

Thinking of this, Kamihara also knew what he should do.

"Come on, July." Kamihara reached out to her, motioning for her to lean over his shoulder.

"What? Still want to do it?"

"Of course not."

Seeing that she didn't resist much, Kamihara pulled her in front of him, then stretched out his hands and hugged her.

Tianhai Qi Mingyue's two hands were against his heart, and his cheeks were pressed against his cheeks, and the girl didn't expect him to do this suddenly.

"July." Kamihara closed his eyes, hugged her while shouting the name of the girl in his arms.

"Call me that... Want to be spoiled?" Tianhai Qi Mingyue didn't understand his thoughts, but she didn't refuse a hug from him, on the contrary... Because of his embrace, his body seemed to be a lot warmer in the dark night.

"July must have some troubles, right, that's why you came here in the middle of the night and tell me how about it?"

「......」

"Tell me, July, I'll listen to you."

I'll listen to you......

A simple sentence made Tianhai Qimingyue's thoughts ripple.

Think about it carefully, in more than ten years, how many people are willing to calm down and listen to themselves?

She even knew that it was useless to express her boredom to the outside world, and it would only attract the incomprehension of others.

And now, there is really such a person who is willing to listen to his own troubles and help him solve the troubles in his heart......

In fact, what moved me was not only that he was willing to listen, but also that he understood his feelings...

"Originally... I think handing over the first time will give me a lot of peace of mind... As a result, my previous thoughts were wrong, and I am now thinking, if one day, I will no longer have the things you are pursuing, the things you love... What will happen to you then?"

Kamihara heard July in his arms close his eyes and say such words to himself.

Completely understood her current state.

"You're still insecure in July."

"Perhaps, after all, for more than ten years, I have basically been walking a path that I don't know if there is hope or not."

Kamihara Raku hugged her a little tighter, and he let July's cheeks touch

Wrapping her neck and letting her lean completely on her arms, "July's biggest fear is being abandoned, right?"

「......」

Without hearing July's answer, Kamihara Le said softly to the petite girl in his arms:

"Because when I was a child, July was the July who cried and cried and ran to the mountains alone to ask my mother to come to you... You roll your feet and get your body wet, and then you sit alone under the bus stop in the countryside waiting for your mother... Actually, I've been expecting my mom to come to you in July, right?"

"......" Tianhai Qi Mingyue listened to his gentle voice, hugged his neck, closed his eyes, and said nothing.

"I remember the way you looked up at me in July, and there was no sparkle in those eyes... Just looking at me stupidly... At that time, July sat alone in the rain for a day, in fact, Xiao July himself knew that he was abandoned by his mother...... But Xiao July is still willing to believe and believe that her mother is looking for herself... However, when I carried you to the villa area and you saw that your mother was still teaching my sister piano, you had to face the reality completely.

"This is the first time...... Later, Xiao July met me, I gave you food, took you to play, and told you stories... Tell you the little secrets of the mountain, for example, the first time you know that you need to use the wind to ignite a fire, for example, let you know that there are some fruits in the mountain that cannot be eaten, and also tell you what is the place you can go and what you can't go.

"Actually, I'm your second mother... Take the initiative to take you to see the beauty of this world......

"In July's eyes, I am important. But for me, you're just a playmate I had when I was a kid...... That's why I'll give you something to eat and you'll remember it for so long... However, after that, there was no more contact from my side, and you came from Tokyo... A little girl came to me from far and wide, but she didn't see anything...

"This is the second abandonment......

"Time has come to the present, and it was also a year ago, you confessed to me, and I rejected you countless times... I forgot the agreement between us, the promise of "you learn knowledge, I will tell you stories", and even drove you away at one point......

"This is the third time ...... abandoned"

After saying these words, Kamihara Rakuya felt as if he had returned to the past, and he gently hugged the July in his arms, feeling the temperature of her cheeks......

"July, in fact, no matter how it changes, the real heart has always been the little July who is waiting for her mother at the bus stop, she doesn't want to be abandoned, she wants to get a solid support, absolute trust, for this... She is willing to do anything, no matter what ......."

Kamihara Le stopped, opened his eyes, and looked at the seven bright moons of the heavenly sea leaning on his shoulder and neck with his eyes closed in his arms.

Her mouth moved slightly:

"The story... That's a good point."

She opened her beautiful eyes and looked at the face of Kamihara Le above:

"But now that I've given you the most important thing I have now, and you've got me, will it be the same as before? People always like the new and hate the old, just like reading a book, drawing emotions from a book, but when these emotions are over, the story is over... I'm going to move on to the next story."

"July."

"Well, I'm listening."

"I don't know about the others, but I'm a person, I never think that if you have the first time with July, you can get you completely...... In the future, in the future, in the future, countless days are still waiting for us, daily firewood, rice, oil and salt, all kinds of pressure on your foundation and family... Even in life, we can also find the joy of bickering in a daily relationship...... July knows me well, does he know what I like best?"

"Caring, whether someone else cares about you, or you care about someone else."

"Life will never be smooth sailing, and there will always be obstacles that are difficult to overcome... If you suddenly disappear in July

What should I do if I leave? There are countless women in this world, but you are the only one I can meet in July... I can meet a July that understands me and supports me... It's just you...... If you're gone, I'll be really sad and my heart will become empty, because that naughty July is gone, and the occasional arrogant and cold July, but in fact, the July that cares about himself is also gone......

"July today and my first time... Not the end, but a new beginning... Anyway, I also want to have July your care, gone... Where do I go to find someone who understands me so well, understands me, secretly helps me, and takes care of my emotions?

"So... Please be sure to be at ease, I am still waiting to officially marry you in the future, and then have a child with you.

"Isn't July looking forward to your children in the future? You will not be like your mother will be to her, you will definitely show infinite love, infinite care for your own children... Watching her grow up happily, holding her hand, slowly growing up one by one."

In a word...

A leisurely sentence... The seven bright moons of the sky and the sea have heard it.

"One thousand one hundred and thirty-eight."

"What one hundred thirty-eight?"

"I will always remember the thousand one hundred and thirty-eight words you said to me."

Kamihara laughed, hugged her tighter, and pressed her face closer:

"How boring are you in July, and count the words I speak?"

Tianhai Qi Mingyue put her hands on his heart, looked at him seriously and said, "... Not everyone has the patience to say such a long list of things, does they? In other words, most people will choose to comfort me with just two sentences, instead of telling me a long story like you... Tell me what really is in my heart, and then give me what I really want... And only a fool like you would do that... And only you can say this to me... Isn't it?"

「... Well, it seems that this is true, after all, you don't have any friends in July, and although Ruri understands you, she can't say these words."

Kamihara saw that she was so serious, and her sky-blue eyes were more like shimmering and moist light in the light of the moon.

That's sort of... Move?

Kamihara didn't know very well, but he knew that July definitely liked what he said to her very, very much, so he continued to smile at her delicate little face and said:

"Then you don't cherish me much? Don't say anything that will disappear suddenly, isn't Little July the little girl who will come to me no matter what?"

"I'm sorry..."

"Okay, okay," Kamihara hugged her again, feeling more and more that July was actually a petite girl, not some smart lady, a high-achieving student, "Don't apologize, I prefer July to make some funny jokes on me instead of apologizing... Every time you get serious in July, I feel distressed... So I was actually quite happy just now."

"I like you."

"I know." Kamihara is smiling in a field of sunflowers.

"I like you very much."

"It doesn't have to be so straightforward, I know it all."

"It's because I like you that I specially invited you here today."

"Okay, okay," Kamihara patted her on the back, feeling the warmth of her in his arms, comforting her, "... And wasn't it quite happy in July before? It's strange that July before was very different from the current July."

Tianhai Qi Mingyue replied on his chest: "People always have serious and unserious sides, and now it is my serious side......

"When I was in the house just now, was that not serious?"

"Sort of."

「... I said July, you, you yourself think the first time is so important, why don't you take it seriously?"

"Because I have to think about my sister, it's hard to be serious when my sister is here."

......

Well, this is actually to blame yourself, Liuli stayed, and she also had half of her own wishes.

Although there is no formal and glass... But it's pretty much the same......

"Here it is, now."

The white yukata suddenly fell beside the girl's slender feet.

「......」

When Kamihara Le saw the eyes of the seven bright moons of the heavenly sea, and saw the body that was more white and beautiful than the moonlight, he was stunned, and he looked around, except for the sunflowers that were taller than people, there was only the lawn cooled by the night breeze.

"Wait, now...? Over here?! Now we're going to- are you okay with July?"

"I'm okay, if my sister is here, it will affect my thoughts... So here, one-on-one, take it seriously."

......

Kamihara slapped his head and quickly said, "... Now and in July you... I don't have a problem with another visit, but wouldn't the place be too nice?"

By this time it was already dark, and the moon was faint and faint.

On the side of the sea of sunflowers is a lake with a wooden bridge in the middle, and behind it is a lawn on the ground.

"Don't like the outside?"

"It's not ......."

"Hurry up, then."

Tianhai Qi Mingyue put her hands on the wooden guardrail next to the flower field, and her satin-like linen hair poured down with her bent movements.

Kamihara looked at her dorsal ridge lit by a little moonlight, and saw her clear eyes that looked sideways.

......

The wind blowing across the lakeshore took away some of the hot breath.

*

Wooden fences in flower fields, wooden bridges in the lake, trees by the road, lawns with white leaves blown by the wind......

These pictures lingered in the mind of the panting Kamihara Le.

Now he just wants to lie down on the lawn and watch the moon half obscured by the clouds...

His head was empty again.

The moonlight illuminates the endless lawn, the girl's swaying figure, reflecting the flower fields and setting off the sparkling lake, her eyes are gentle like water, but hazy like the moon... The moment she closed her eyes, Kamihara only felt her tightened, earthy-scented pink toes... It is also extremely beautiful.

......

「... Go back to sleep." Kamihara said as he lay on the lawn and gasped.

"This time, it's not bad..." Tianhai Qimingyue snuggled in his arms, her delicate hands, and the long hair around her ears was lifted, exuding a sweet fragrance.

Qi Mingyue didn't smile, but Kamihara Le laughed when he saw her beautiful face directly above him, blocking his vision and blocking the moon.

He reached out and slapped his ass twice.

"I don't know who kept screaming just now?"

"It was very good just now, but now I want to say, 'It's not bad.'"

"It's just a matter of trying to bite the bullet." Kamihara couldn't help but smile, and yawned by the way, "Ha~~~ But I... I just want to sleep right now."

"You've sent me one more time."

When Kamihara heard this, he clasped his hands together and quickly begged the girl who was sitting up straight again, "Grandma! Please, let me go back to sleep... In one night, all the people will be gone."

Tianhai Qimingyue's delicate face smiled slightly: "But it's still one time away."

"But—"

"Shh~ We haven't been to the lake next to the road, there is a small wooden platform for fishing, which can face the whole big lake."

「......」

"What's wrong?" Tianhai Qimingyue smiled.

"How's it on the road?"

"Well..."

"July~~"

"Okay."

......
