The wind blew head-on and whirled on his face, preventing him from opening his eyes.

It's flying too fast, and I don't know if it's going upwards or parallel to the ground.

What is certain is that there is absolutely no whereabouts.

"Scared?"

The girl's calm and playful voice sounded in her ears, and the sound of breathing hidden in the wind.

"How is that possible?" He wasn't afraid of heights, but he was worried about Imadegawa Chisaka's mental state, "But where are we going?" ”

“……”

The only thing that responded to him was the whirring wind.

The girl didn't speak, apparently on purpose.

For~

The wings tore through the flowing air.

The wind stopped for the time being.

Narumi opened his eyes, and they were still high in the sky, but they were already directly above the city of Kyoto.

He looked at the girl and watched as she suddenly retracted her wings behind her.

The girl smiled at him, her pupils deep a glimmer different from the moonlight.

Without wings and riding the lift of the wind, the two gradually fell downward.

It's getting faster and faster.

"Don't you think,

Does it matter even if it disappears? ”

The girl spoke,

Thousands of meters above Kyoto,

He asked in a calm tone.

Narumi couldn't guess the other party's thoughts, his eyes widened, and he couldn't speak.

Is it just to intimidate him, or do you really want to just fall straight to the ground and disappear from this world together?

"Sometimes,"

The girl closed her eyes, and the corners of her mouth curled up into a smile that made him unpredictable.

"I'm still envious of you."

The strong wind propped up the girl's dress, propped up his short-sleeved shorts, and hunted.

Without wings, the two gradually parted in the air, only the four hands were still clasped together.

The next moment, the girl let go of the strength that grabbed Narumi Yu's hands.

Narumi was startled, and held the girl's hand a little tighter.

but

The white and tender little hands gradually slipped out of his palms.

"Chisaka?!"

Strong winds separated them.

Getting farther and farther under the dim night sky.

Narumi could only see the faint light on the girl's body, but there was no way to grab her hand again.

It all happened too suddenly.

The girl also did not show extreme emotions that were so negative that she wanted to disappear with him.

Because I've already lived once, it doesn't matter?

No.

Fear of death and withering is a living instinct.

When there is no crisis, he may be able to think leisurely. But when facing death, the desire for life still pushes him to struggle.

He tried his best to reach out to Imadegawa Chisaka, but in the air, he could only do it.

The distance between the two will not be shortened by his outstretched hand.

"Isn't that scared too......"

Despite the gradual separation of the two, the girl's voice could clearly penetrate the airflow and reach his ears.

Calm, loss, hope, loneliness, fear...... There is a hint of desperation.

Complex emotions melt together, no longer kept, no longer hidden in front of Narumi Yu's eyes,

"If I could forget everything like you,"

"If I could live only my own will, like you,"

"If ......"

He couldn't hear the rest of the story.

I don't know if it was drowned in the wind, or if the girl finally failed to speak.

"Why!"

"Why is it me ......?"

“……”

As the ground got closer, I could clearly see the floors and streets, the street lights that went out, and the glowing plaques of the shops that were still open.

At this speed,

If you fall directly, you will definitely say goodbye to the world.

"Chisaka! Listen to me,"

He cried out, but words of comfort and persuasion were gagged.

Man is selfish, he tries to persuade him to survive, Imadegawa Chisaka knows what he is thinking, and all the words of persuasion seem fragile and ridiculous at this moment.

"Me!"

There are still ten seconds left at most.

He shouted out as best he could, letting the sound pass through the airflow for Imadegawa Chisaka to hear, and uttered all the words he had to say in one breath,

"A pervert who likes to peek at the bottom of a girl's skirt dies in Kyoto with the world's cutest beautiful girl in this romantic way, and I'm satisfied!"

[c]

At the intersection, the street lights in front of the hotel are lit.

Narumi pondered how much he would affect the hapless innkeeper if he fell to his death.

[b]

Less than thirty meters from the ground, the instinct of fear of death was suppressed by the excitement for no reason, and he began to regret that he had not been holding hands with Imadegawa Chisaka and "disappeared".

[a]

The road surface that marked the traffic line magnified before his eyes at a great speed,

Hula-

The air flow stopped suddenly.

The falling figure suddenly hovered at a height of three or four meters above the ground.

The white wings glowed in the night, and Imadegawa Chisaka grabbed his shoulder, and his pretty face was flushed.

"Disappear by yourself!"

He had just breathed a sigh of relief, and before he could say anything, Imadegawa Chisaka suddenly let go of his hand.

"Huh?! Other! I was wrong! ”

Boom!

The muffled sound of a perverted high school student who likes to peek at the bottom of a girl's skirt falling heavily to the ground.

But not from a height of thousands of meters, but only from a height of three or four meters.

It is not light or serious, and if it is serious, it may have a fracture, but at least it is still alive and cannot die.

His back hit the ground first, and Narumi curled up and wailed,

"Painful ......"

The girl folded her wings, landed gently, and stepped forward to make up for it.

"Ahh

The kick was in his ankle, and it didn't take much effort.

"I'm going to die! I'm going to die! ”

Narumi screamed exaggeratedly and rolled on the ground.

“……”

The familiar white mist enveloped him, healing the wounds from the fall.

Imadegawa Chisaka stood aside and watched him continue to perform.

The sudden screams attracted the front desk of the roadside inn to poke his head out, and the white fog had disappeared, and only a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old could be seen rolling at the intersection.

The significance is unknown.

To ensure her own safety, she shrank back and closed the door of the inn tightly.

Seeing that Imadegawa Chisaka did not react, Narumi Yuu stood up with some embarrassment.

"Does it still hurt?"

Imadegawa Chisaka asked as if he was distressed, but there was no sympathetic expression on his face.

"There are several places on my body that still hurt a little, if only Imadegawa-san could help me rub it with my soft little hands."

“……”

A few seconds passed.

"It's a pity," Imadegawa Chisaka shook his head for him, "It's just a height of more than a thousand meters, I can't die, and I can't fulfill Narumi-san's perverted wishes." ”

The first half of the ......girl's sentence was serious, and Narumi Yu felt cold in her heart when she heard it, and quickly changed the topic, "I'll go to this inn next to me to see if there is any room to live in." ”

He patted the dust off his body and walked to the door of the inn as he spoke.

Imadegawa Chisaka followed him.

The door won't open......

The front desk that just poked his head out to peek apologized inside,

"Hey, I'm sorry, there are no more empty rooms."
