On this day, Chihiro, who took the last train home and didn't tell her sister about last night, because she couldn't cook, so she could only sit on the sofa in the living room and change the TV channel one by one boringly. A little absent-minded, I didn't even hear my sister shouting to herself.

"Brother!"

It wasn't until she slapped me on the face that I reacted, "What? Natsume glared at me as if he was a little angry. I said, it's time to eat! She was upset and repeated what she had been repeating. What the hell are you thinking? Such a soulless look? "Immediately after, while helping me push my wheelchair; While asking.

"I'm sorry, nothing."

Seeing that Chihiro didn't want to answer, Natsume didn't relent, and continued to ask. "Could it be that today's interview didn't go well?" But I'm still a little worried. The uneasiness in her eyes was easy to capture. "The result is closer to ambiguity than it doesn't go well." Chihiro put down the chopsticks she picked up again, and said with a wry smile.

"Ambiguous? How so? ”

My answer made my sister's expression a little mixed. "It's better than just refusing it before. But that's about it. I said helplessly, "And maybe it's just that you don't want to embarrass me, right?" ”

After saying that, Chihiro couldn't help but sigh.

"Brother......" Seeing that his brother was obviously depressed but still pretending to be indifferent, Natsume was very distressed. Brother, you might be angry when I say this, but even if you give up, I won't blame you. ”

"Thank you."

Chihiro thanked him honestly, but he didn't want to leave the burden of life on his sister. —"As an older brother, I have to share something for her. "I used to think that way. But Natsume always said, "Even if you don't do it, it's okay, even if you have to take care of your brother for the rest of your life, I'm fine!" ”

Sometimes, I often wonder why I can't hate my father and mother as a family member without reservation, and now I have finally found the answer. — Probably because of Natsume's existence? But even so, you can't use this as a reason to keep her by your side, right? It's despicable to do that.

"By the way, what do you think of what Lola said earlier?"

"Mention this again?"

Natsume put down the chopsticks in his hand with a somewhat disgusted expression, "That kind of thing can only exist in movies or novels. It's absolutely impossible to happen in reality, right? With that, he picked up the drink on his left hand and poured it all down his throat. Then he put the empty cup back on the table, "But if there is such an opportunity, I don't think it's a bad thing." ”

"I think so too."

Chihiro immediately echoed her.

"But unfortunately, that can't happen anyway!" After speaking, the corners of Natsume's mouth quietly rose. "By the way, brother, remember to throw the suit in the washing machine later, right? The weather is so good today, it's just the right time to do this. ”

"Okay, got it. Thank you ......."

Chihiro, who promised her, thanked her and returned to her room, and he fell on his back on the bed when he wanted to do something. I also left my phone aside, and the suit was handed over to my sister before I came in.

"Take a nap, huh?" Thinking so, I slowly closed my eyes unconsciously. And when I woke up again by the chirping of cicadas outside the window, it was already afternoon, almost evening. "It's so comfortable!" I couldn't help but think, and then, presumptuously, stretched. Sit up.

"Cell phone, cell phone...... Hey? However, when I looked at the phone in my hand, I made a voice that even I thought was strange, "Flipper? What's going on? I think I should have lost it a long time ago, right? ”

Then, feeling strange, I looked around again, and finally, my eyes fell on the TV in the room, which was visibly dusty. - "This one, not the previous one?" Could it be that I am mistaken? ”

Feeling a little incredible, I slowly walked up to it and looked at it, "The color doesn't match!" That's when I realized that something seemed to have quietly changed during the time I was asleep. - There also seemed to be a few books missing from the middle of the bookshelf next to the TV, "Love parasites, three days of happiness, and that summer, all gone." Obviously these were bought recently! ”

"And where they were, I can't be mistaken!" However, along with them, there are many manga that I bought before, and even the computer in the room has become very old!

"Wait, wait! What the hell is going on?! ”

Remembering to ask my sister, I immediately rushed out of the room and into the hallway. I didn't have time to think about it before I got to the next room outside her room—"What......?" However, when I tried to knock on the door, I found that it was empty and unlocked, and it was empty! Not even a decent piece of furniture.

Only the lone floor-to-ceiling window remains, and it seems to be the only one that greets me. "What the hell is going on? That's not normal, isn't it? I quickly returned to my room after thinking about it. At this time, the eye was suddenly drawn to the calendar hanging on the wall, June 2012.

My head went blank and my eyes widened when I saw the date. "How is that possible?! "But the biggest and most noticeable change happened to me – it was only then that I suddenly realized that I could walk around without a wheelchair!"...... "Could it be that the text message is not a prank at all, but real!"

It took me some time to calm down, and I came to the conclusion, "No, should I say it's more than that?" After a while, he fell into thinking again, "In other words, it also has the power to make people's wishes come true." It's a good idea to speculate for now, right? ”

"So, now I'm back ten years ago?"

Chihiro, who didn't feel that her speculation was getting more and more outrageous, came to the mirror and carefully examined herself inside: wearing the uniform of her school days, her face has become younger, and her height is somewhat in line with her self at this time. There were even textbooks and workbooks on the desk behind him, as well as pencils and erasers stacked with them.

The Switch that I bought the previous one no longer exists. — If this speculation is correct, that is, these changes are taken for granted. "Subverting life or something, I didn't expect it to happen." As I read this sentence in pieces, I fell on the bed again, but I didn't feel any joy in my heart.

Obviously, even the wish that I want to realize the most has been unreservedly fulfilled so far! To gather my thoughts, I once again held up my flip phone in front of my eyes and looked at it carefully. I even tried to open the address book and look up Natsume's phone number......

However, even when I searched through it, I couldn't find her phone number—"Is this the price I have to pay?" "Got a healthy body, but lost the most important family member?" What's the point?! ”

I threw the phone out of my hand in anger. — It slammed mercilessly against the wall and made a loud noise, then rolled on the floor a few times before never moving again. At that moment, it was really sad.

However, no matter how much you regret it now, you can't help it, right? Because there is no way, I can only accept it. - Of course I know about this kind of thing, but maybe there is a glimmer of hope in my heart, right? So I sat down in front of the computer again, turned it on, and tried to find some clues from Natsume.

However, no trace of her was found. Immediately afterward, I picked up my phone that had fallen on the floor and tried to find the text message that "reset my life" from earlier. But there is still nothing. - "Sure enough, that's the case......"

So, at the moment when night crept down, I gave up. "Because, there's no way...... Natsume, I'm sorry. But I think, no matter how much I apologize in my heart, she must hate me, "In order to achieve the future she wants, she ruined her life?" What the hell am I doing! ”

"It would be nice if someone could end my life while I was asleep at this moment......" With this in mind, I fell asleep without even eating dinner. At the same time, I finally accepted this result. "I'll talk about the rest tomorrow."

The next day, I woke up in a daze and felt like I was being tormented by a hangover. After washing, I simply solved the breakfast and went out. When the heat gradually took hold, he finally woke up completely.

At the moment, it looks like I'm back in my hometown – and by this time, the school hasn't been demolished yet. — It's just that it's a little dangerous to go now. So, I had to pick up the pace. After walking along the widest asphalt road for a while, you can finally see the station. However, before that, you have to walk the seemingly long ramp in front of you.

It's not that hard for me right now. In a few moments, the station was just around the corner. — There is only one chair here, and there is a lot of dust on it. Because there was no one to take care of it, the chair was covered with moss, which looked like weeds.

A sign next to it was also mottled by the sun and rain. I couldn't even read the handwriting on it. Chihiro sighed, sat down in her chair, and took some biscuits from the bag she was carrying to eat.

But at the moment when he was about to tear off the cookie package, he found that there was actually a girl sitting a little far away from him......
