After coming out of the hospital, the sun was almost setting, and we finally broke free from being surrounded by the smell of various potions, and we finally breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but stare at each other's faces and laugh loudly, "How do you feel?" I asked Lola. She expertly put on her new hearing aids, squinted and smiled and nodded.

That's when I finally breathed a sigh of relief. Because she had accompanied her from the hallway to the outside of the hall door, Lola's face had always been a little pale. The whole person looked in a trance, and I had to be ready to help her at any time.

Fortunately, Lola at this moment seems to be very energetic again, as if the discomfort just now seems to be just my wishful thinking. "Well, let's go back—" I said as I pulled my phone out of my trouser pocket, intending to tell Shion and Izumi that they were safe. I was so focused that I almost hit a telephone pole right in front of me with my head down!

Luckily, Lola reached out and pulled me along.

"Watch the road well, really!"

At this time, she looked a little angry, staring at me with sharp eyes and sighing helplessly. "Thank you." I smiled dumbly, and immediately looked away, pretending to look in the direction of the setting sun.

Instantly, it dawned on me that I could now read some of what Lola was trying to say, even without the help of a notebook. Occasionally, I couldn't help but feel excited about this discovery, and at the same time, I was a little hesitant to tell her.

In the end, the moment I sneaked a glimpse into her face, I changed the subject.

"What did you and Dr. Nangong talk about just now?"

Although it was a bit blunt, I said lightly, "Want to know?" Lola looked at my face from the side and asked in a mischievous tone. Think. "To be honest, I don't think there's anything to hide, plus I'm really interested. So, I said it honestly.

"There's still a long way to school, so let's take it as a relief—" To be honest, I didn't expect Lola to agree. She pressed her index finger lightly against her chin and whispered as if to convince herself.

Then, he told me what he had just talked about with Dr. Nangong - not all, but part. "What is this? Just because you can't hear with your ears, they see you as a burden? "But even if it's only partial, the fact that it's partial, makes me feel very emotional.

"It wasn't like that at first, my mom was frugal, and she took me to almost all the hospitals. It's just that the answers we get are no different, and I think it's because of this that Mom gave up, right? ”

"In the end, I rarely even went home."

Lola's tone was relaxed, and she looked as if she was talking about someone else's business. Even, with a slight smile on his face. "She doesn't want to see me as a 'loser' again, does she?" Then, he fell into a whisper of self-talk.

It was as if she had completely forgotten that I was still around. "It's not! Surely not so! ”

It wasn't until the moment I desperately dismissed her words that she turned her attention back to me. "Then, Chihiro, can you get her back for me?!" It's just that, at that moment, she also became hysterical, as if she had thrown all the unhappiness that had been accumulating over the past few days at me—

"It can't be done! Impossible, right?! ”

I was so surprised that I forgot to refute it, she said; While letting the tears keep falling like pearls with broken threads! "In that case, what qualifications do you have to say that!" She said; He walked towards me. It's so loud that it's just shouting......

"If you're trying to comfort me, you don't have to!"

I don't know why she cried; I don't know why she's angry, and likewise, I don't know why I'm blamed by her. But even so, even if my reasons are good—"But what I said just now is too irresponsible, right?" ”

"I'm sorry—" I thought so, and immediately apologized to Lola. However, even so, she couldn't calm down for a while. Suddenly I wanted to say something, but I thought it would be better not to say anything superfluous. So I stood not far from her and waited for her to calm down.

"Ahh

It took some time, maybe ten minutes, right? —Lola finally turned to face me again, "Angry?" I asked her. Sort of. Then the two of us continued to walk side by side.

"Chihiro—" At the moment when the downhill was about to reach the end, Lola suddenly gently grabbed the hem of my short sleeve with her hand, "Why don't we skip class?" Then, he took out his notebook from the bag he was carrying and showed it to me as he wrote.

"What?"

For a moment I thought she was joking, "I don't want to go to school anymore!" But she told me again right away. This time, an exclamation point was also deliberately added. "You—" I was about to retort to her, but her attention was no longer on me, but on a karaoke shop behind us—

"Chihiro, do you want to go here once?"

And then the moment I wanted to refuse, she had already taken my hand and ran in. When we came back to our senses, we were in the room—a room decorated with lots and lots of balloons, with a burgundy carpet on the floor.

"Have you been here before?"

I was surprised and asked, "No?" Why do you ask? "Now I was even more surprised, and at the same time I thought it was incredible." Because you're at the lobby counter, you're very skilled—I think you know the steps very well. ”

"And when you give change to someone, it's very simple."

"You're stupid—" I didn't expect her to suddenly look at me with a very speechless look and say something that even I was taken aback, "When we came in, wasn't it written on the notice board next to the hall?" Then, he patted me on the shoulder.

"Really?"

We swapped notebooks; While having a conversation.

Then she got up from the couch, picked up the microphone on the coffee table, and handed it to me. "You're going to sing, aren't you? Chihiro—" Suddenly, not knowing what to say, my eyes swirled between the microphone and Lola's face.

"So, don't be in a daze!"

At this time, she came closer. Suddenly, I had to keep hiding inside! Until finally, she grabbed her shoulders as she gradually lost her patience. But we were so close that we could hear each other's breathing.

"Got it—" I couldn't resist her, so I had to agree.

But I didn't expect that once I was invested, neither Lola nor I could help but forget how long it had been. Finally, by the time we left, the night had completely fallen. Stars can be seen everywhere overhead, and they can't be counted......

"It's refreshing, it's refreshing!" At this point, Lola raised her right hand above her head, and then patted me with her left hand and laughed a lot. "In the future, I may want to become a singer!" — It feels like she's going to say this. Then we walked to the intersection that was not far ahead.

Just as he stopped, the signal light changed color – "Let's get past now." Thinking so, I naturally wanted to grab Lola's hand. However, the outstretched right hand did not feel like it was being held at all.

Only caught the air?

Just as I was stunned, in the distance, Lola was waving at me vigorously - "Don't run away suddenly, you scared me to death!" I blamed her a little angrily. At the same time, it has also taken a step forward. And at this moment, a sharp and rapid horn suddenly broke into the ears!

Immediately after, there was the exclamation of the surrounding crowd! With Lola's disappearance again, it filled the air around her for a long time. "At this point, I just thought they were noisy, and my brain couldn't even process the information I saw in front of me......"

"What the hell is going on?" To be honest, it was so sudden that I couldn't understand it at all. "Now, what's going on? Why does Lola ......? "I tried to push myself forward again, but my feet were so heavy that I couldn't lift them. It's like being stuck in a swamp.

"Why? I have to save her! ”

Then, I don't know how long it was, when I finally ran to her, I was ...... It's late! "What now?" All of a sudden, my mind went blank and my thoughts were like a kite with a broken string. It doesn't work well anymore......

Although the senses were still working, I refused to accept what they saw. Even if what is happening in front of you is a true fact. I won't believe it either! Because, because! "How the hell can people believe that Lola is dead!?"

"Besides, she was talking and laughing with me just now!"

At this time, his body trembled more and more - "Why is this happening?!" Too unreasonable, right? At this time, in the phone booth behind him, a hurried voice sounded - "You want to do it again, right?" You think what just happened is very unreasonable, right? ”

When I picked up the earpiece and brought it to my ear, it was the voice of the girl I had heard again. "But how can such a thing be done!" I didn't even think about it, so I denied it. However, unexpectedly, the other side laughed for a while......

It's as if what I just said was a funny story, "yes, that's generally true." But you—" She paused deliberately, as if expecting my reaction. "Haven't you already succeeded once?"
