Aoi Keisuke took off his tattered clothes, rinsed his body briefly, and lay down alone in the semi-open men's soup outside, breathing comfortably, and then fell asleep in the water.

He dreamed that he had fallen into a large lake again, and faintly, he heard the pleasant chatter and laughter of three people.

That's Cry, Maple Leaf, and Osawa.

They whispered a song of restfulness for him, and weeping leaned over to gently caress and kiss him on the cheek to say his final goodbyes.

"I wish you good luck."

So Keisuke Aoi closed his eyes again and went deeper into sleep.

After another unknown amount of time, he heard the familiar voices of others, and his body followed the flow of water, subconsciously approaching the source of the sound.

The person who spoke seemed to be Hoshino.

Keisuke Aoi opened his eyes and looked towards the shore.

He saw a shoulder-length girl with short hair, dressed in a slightly cool bathrobe, sitting straight on the stone by the lake, her eyebrows and eyes lowered, her expression calm, her bare feet poked into the water, rippled by the waves, like two white koi fish, and like two white lotuses blooming.

Hoshino was softly humming the song Megumi Ozawa had sung to her.

"Deer in the mountains, slow down.

Smell the flowers and the dewdrops.

The morning sun is warm and pleasant.

When you are tired of playing, you lie down in the flowers,

Rest well. ”

Aoi Keisuke floated quietly to her side, ready to admire the rare appearance of the eldest lady at this time.

As soon as she got closer, she was discovered by Hoshino, and she stepped Aokeisuke into the water without hesitation.

"You guy, at least in your dreams, you're a little self-conscious!"

She thought it was just in her dream, and as soon as she finished speaking, she stepped on it twice.

"What realization?"

Keisuke Ao's head popped out of the water, and as he reached out to hold Hoshino's ankle, he suddenly pulled her into the water with force.

"Ahh

Hoshino "plopped", and the whole person and clothes were immediately soaked with water.

Keisuke Aoi laughed happily and paddled through the water, escaping from Hoshino's side.

"Keisuke Ao!"

"President, do you know how to swim?"

“……”

"Let's compare and see who can swim to the other side first."

"Get out!"

Hoshino touched a small stone from the shallow bottom of the lake and threw it at Keisuke Aoi.

She shrunk into the water, afraid to stand up, because her soaked clothes would make her walk naked.

The stone she threw didn't hit Keisuke Ao, but it just made a splash next to him.

He swam around on his own, and when he returned, Hoshino had already gone ashore and left, and there were traces of water dripping on the stones.

Aokeisuke walked around, unable to determine where Hoshino had gone, or if he had been awakened and left the dream.

He also left the lake, swept away the water from his body with a wave of his hand, and put on a black dress for himself by the way.

He followed the direction of the water stain at the beginning, and after moving away from the lake left behind by Tomyojin, the dream began to become strange.

"Huh?"

Keisuke Aoi saw a village.

In front of its country road, it is written.

"Is this another dream of the president?"

It's no wonder that he didn't find any traces of Hoshino's departure along the way, and it seems that he jumped directly into another dream.

In other words, those actions just now did not wake up Hoshino.

Haven't you found yourself special?

What did you do in the president's dream?

Or, what is Hoshino-san's impression of herself?

Aoi Keisuke was surprised, so he simply re-assumed the identity of Shunsuke Ozawa, sat in a wheelchair, and appeared in front of Ozawa's house in the blink of an eye.

He rang the doorbell, and the sound was a little dull, like the "beep" sound of electricity being wrapped in a shell, and waited for a while, but no one came to open the door.

Originally, Keisuke Aoi thought that Hoshino would at least restore the Ozawa family and restore its former vitality, but it didn't seem to be the case.

Curious about Hoshino's dreams, he stood up and pushed the door open and walked into the hallway.

In the hallway, there are warm lamps that point to the living room.

"President?"

Keisuke Aoi walked in and rediscovered Hoshino in front of the floor-to-ceiling window facing the courtyard.

Fujiko Hoshino wears a conservative long skirt sailor suit.

Outside the door, there is a half-set sunset, sprinkled with orange sunlight, which falls on the girl's right side.

She was kneeling at a low table and was flipping through a photo album.

Aokeisuke walked to her side, only to find that the photos in the album were blurry and couldn't distinguish human faces at all, but Hoshino was still reading it carefully, as if he was admiring a book of poems that had been left in a corner and no one cared about.

And herself, too.

"My members, there must be a limit to the ghosts that do not go away."

Hoshino Fujiko sighed, pointed to the other side, and motioned for Keisuke Aoi to sit down.

"The president has already found me?"

The president paused for a moment, and then said, "I just found out." ”

- After all, in his dreams, Keisuke Aoi will always look annoying.

Keisuke Aoi sat down across from her, glanced at the living room of Ozawa's house, and said with a smile, "Does the president miss this place very much?" ”

"Just looking for a quiet place." Hoshino calmly denied it, her gaze falling on Keisuke Aoi's disgusting face, "Don't you think you should explain how it appeared in my dreams first?" ”

"It's just because of the lingering spiritual afterglow that remains in our bodies."

Keisuke Aoi spread his hands and motioned for Hoshino not to show that embarrassed expression, he smiled and said, "When the spirit is consumed, our relationship will be over."

Perhaps, by tomorrow, I will forget the content of the dream. ”

"Really......"

Hoshino nodded when he heard this, retracting his gaze, too lazy to pick the ambiguous ridicule in Keisuke's words.

Aoi Keisuke also looked at her quietly, without disturbing the girl's exclusive comfort at this time.

I don't know when the sunset outside sinks, and the lights in the room turn on automatically, and the outside world seems to be gradually engulfed in darkness, leaving only a faint light in Ozawa's house.

Keisuke Aoi got up and stretched, and asked, "President, why do you have such a lonely dream?" ”

"That's your self-righteousness." Hoshino replied unceremoniously.

"Really?"

Qing Keisuke nodded: "It's really not lonely to have me by my side." ”

He walked to the window and watched as the darkness silently engulfed Ozawa Village—such a dream was almost over.

For Fujiko Hoshino, is this the true side of her heart?

After experiencing the incident of Dazeshan, he was able to present this side in front of him so calmly and plainly.

This tenacity may be the most valuable takeaway from Hoshino's trip.

"President, don't you refute it?" Keisuke Aoi looked back and smiled.

"Why refute?" Hoshino also looked at him.

When the two looked at each other, Keisuke Aoi suddenly noticed that Hoshino's expression seemed to be unprecedentedly moving. 33

Because she gently pulled the strands of her hair, and the corners of her mouth were smiling.

Some people died, but not completely......
