By this time, it was completely dark, and the radio on the dining table was intermittently broadcasting the contents of the weather forecast. I looked at Lola, who was so stunned that I couldn't do anything, I could only lower my head again and say sincerely, "I'm sorry—"

Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, Lola pushed me away and turned around and ran out. "Lola?!" Izumi wanted to stop it, but it turned out to be too late. "I'll check it out! - "Suddenly, I immediately chased after me. At this time, only Izumi and Shion were left in the room.

"Shion, do you think what Chihiro said just now is credible?"

At this time, Izumi couldn't help but ask Shion, who was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks at the dining table. "There's no need for him to lie, and Chihiro isn't good at lying. Isn't that what you said? Shion replied with her back to her. Izumi was a little surprised, maybe he didn't expect the topic to be thrown back, right? She blinked, her expression looking a little angry.

"Answer me well!"

Izumi ran to Shion unwillingly, and opened his hands to stop her. "Of course I believe him, okay—get out of ......the way," Shion had no choice but to hold the cleaned up dishes and chopsticks in her left hand, and then gently pushed Izumi aside with her free right hand, "So, why are you so calm?" ”

"It's useless to be in a hurry."

Shion put the dishes and chopsticks into the pool; While skillfully unscrewing the faucet. In a few moments, the sound of water began to sound in the room. "And, if it's really like Chihiro said, then as long as we don't go to karaoke in three days."

Then, he continued to turn his back to Izumi and said unhurriedly. "Rather than that, you might as well worry about tomorrow?" Suddenly, Izumi's gaze began to wander everywhere. Obviously, due to the fact that I was busy with the school anniversary stage performance during this time, I didn't have time to review at all. "You haven't reviewed at all in this time, have you?"

Shion asked as she put the washed dishes and chopsticks into the cabinet above.

"I know, don't say it again—" With that, Izumi turned around and ran back into the living room, shrinking into the couch like a frightened hedgehog. "What are you doing?" Shion asked as she came out of the kitchen and wiped her hands with a towel. "I'll take my leave tomorrow."

"Huh?"

Suddenly, Shion looked at her, not knowing what kind of expression to make in response to Izumi's answer. "Did you give up?" Shion asked as she sat on the couch next to her, some distance away from her. "It's impossible to make up a month's progress in one night, right?"

As he spoke, Izumi's gaze gradually became confused and cloudy, and then he quickly buried his face in the pillow he was holding. "I'm more worried about Lola than that, and if what Chihiro said is true, she won't be able to accept it. Is it true that something will not happen if you run out in that state? ”

Immediately afterward, Izumi slowly leaned over to Shion, cleared his throat, grabbed her arm and asked nervously. "To be honest, I'm worried too. But isn't Chihiro already chased out? Give it to him and it should be fine—"

At this time, the overhead light finally went out completely after flickering back and forth a few times. The room was instantly surrounded by darkness. The only light left was the moonlight that drifted in through the half-open windows and fell on the floor.

And on the asphalt road not far from the apartment, I was anxiously looking for Lola, who didn't know where to run. "That guy, where the hell can you run!" I looked around as I walked down the slope in front of me.

However, not only was Lola's shadow nowhere to be seen, but she almost tripped over the can she accidentally stepped on. This made me anxious and gradually irritable. At this time, it was pitch black all around, so dark that I couldn't even see my feet clearly.

At this moment, I heard the sound of waves crashing against the rocks on the shore one after another, and it was very clear. You just need to climb over the grille on the asphalt road to reach the beach not far away, and there are not many people at this time, so it's not surprising that you can hear clearly.

I couldn't help but turn my head to focus on the beach, but I couldn't see anything but darkness. I didn't think Lola was there, but I climbed over the small grate and made my way to the beach, just in case. I'm going to look for it.

It didn't take long for me to get a mixture of sand and dirt in my shoes, and I stopped from taking them off and holding them in my hands. In an instant, all the sand inside was poured out.

I sighed and walked barefoot, the feeling of stepping on the sand was cool, not as annoying as it was just now. Immediately after, the sound of the waves became clearer and clearer. Occasionally, it sneaks through the soles of my feet.

"It's so cool!"

I couldn't help but look down, only to realize that before I knew it, most of the entire surface of my foot had been submerged. And the moment I looked up again, the moon that had been obscured by a few clouds was finally visible again.

By the light it was projecting on the beach, I suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a person sitting in front of me not far from me. It's just that the hair is blown a little messy by the oncoming wind. She seemed to have to tidy up with her hands every once in a while.

I didn't have time to think about it, so I ran over - "So you're here!" "It turned out to be Lola!" Do you know that I've been looking for you for a long time, and I'm almost worried to death! As soon as the words fell, I held my hands on my knees and gasped.

Then, at a distance, he sat down next to her. "Just leave me alone!" She threw her notebook over as if she were angry, and it took me twice as long as usual to read the words written on it by the moonlight, which I had been running for a while. "How can I ignore you? Not only me, but Izumi and Shion must be worried—"

After saying that, I pulled his right hand to my side, "Go back—" But as soon as she finished speaking, she shook it off with more force, "I said leave me alone!" Immediately afterward, a look of astonishment flashed across my face.

"Why?"

Lola's expression was very angry now. Obviously, that wasn't your average awkwardness. The sharp eyes glared at me mercilessly, and I immediately winced when I was stared at, and I couldn't help but take two steps back, but I was immediately approached by her.

"Why didn't you tell me you're also a traverser?!"

Immediately afterward, Lola bent down to pick up the notebook and pen that had fallen on the floor, and after writing down what she wanted to ask, she threw them in my hand. "I was meant to tell you, but I just didn't get a chance."

I patiently wrote down the answer to this question with a pen. Then he added a question, "So, Lola, you are also a traverser?" Have you ever received such a text message? "Instantly, instead of being surprised, I felt more excited and excited to find my kind.

That said, I'm not alone in this world! What could be happier than the fact that there is nothing more joyful? It can't be, right? To be honest, now I would even like to shout out such a mood if I could. However, if you do that, it will definitely make Lola feel worse, so let's give up.

Eventually, I pushed the thought out of my head. "Yes! After I replied to the text message, I somehow came here! ”

"And you told me that if I went to karaoke in three days, I would ......! Is that real?! Suddenly, she grabbed my shoulder and shook violently, "If it's true, I'...... What am I going to do! ”

Gradually, from her fingertips to her shoulders, she could easily feel her shaking, and even her voice was shabby and shattered by extreme fear and fear. Then he crouched down again, hiding his face in the crook of his arm so that I wouldn't see his current expression.

And although I had tried my best to hold back, I could still hear the choking sound at that moment,—— "Chihiro, tell me, what the hell should I do?" Then, looking back up, she looked at me with a tearful face.

"I'm not going to let you die! Never let that happen! ”

Suddenly, she didn't seem to believe my words, and knocked me in the face with the notebook she held in her hand, "Why can you say that?" "I thought it would hurt, but it didn't hurt at all." Because—"

I avoided it in a bit of a panic as I continued, "I may not be able to do it alone, but have you forgotten that Izumi and Shion are also there?" So I'm sure I'll be able to figure it out! As I spoke, I gently grabbed her fallen wrist, "So, there must be a way!" At the same time, tell her firmly.
