The last bite of roasted offal on the skewer was taken off with green onions and green peppers, and the freshly squeezed juice at the bottom of the remaining cup was poured down, and You Yi burped contentedly.

The grease stains left on the plates and the bottom of the bowl reflect the bright yellow light of the food house, telling the truth that youth is extraordinary hunger and thirst.

The desires of the body, including appetite, and the complex and diverse desires of the mind and the heart, will reach their peak at this age.

This is youth in the biological sense.

The two-person set meal, which costs less than 3,000 yen, includes four skewers of grilled offal, four skewers of grilled meat, a large plate of egg fried rice, a plate of fried dumplings and two large cups of freshly squeezed juice.

When I opened the old sliding door, the cold air with a fishy smell peculiar to the seaside that I had become accustomed to hit my face and penetrated into my nose.

I took it to the door casually, and I wanted to take a stroll on the beach while listening to a song, but looking at the headphone cable in the commuter bag that was tangled up and could not be easily untied in three or two clicks, You Yi gave up.

I didn't feel lost, because the incomprehensible headphone cable was also the most familiar scene of youth, and I just missed it.

With the sound of the sea tide whipped by the eagles in the vicinity, humming the song "Someting just like this" in his memory, You Yi left shallow footprints on the frozen beach.

After humming one song, it naturally cuts to the next song on the playlist in your head: We don't talk anymore. By the way, the next song is Please dont go by God A.

However, the prelude in his head had just begun when he was interrupted by a loud bastard.

Yuichi, who was forced to press the play/stop button that did not exist in reality, stopped to look, only to see a slender figure facing the sea in front of him, wantonly venting his inner emotions.

After naming the scene "The Man Shouting Bastard at the Sea" and incorporating it into his brain's illustrated folder, Yuichi started again.

However, as the woman lowered her hand and turned around, the moment her face broke into Yu Yi's eyes, You Yi stopped again.

It was a woman with frustration written on her face, and the corners of her mouth and eyes were filled with a bleak smile.

It's also a woman Youyi has been looking for for a week.

The name is Saionji Kori.

……

On January 11, Hikari left behind a bodyguard and a car before leaving in the morning, and was responsible for sending Yuichi and Mirai Sakai home, who woke up.

But after being sent back to the bar, You Yi found that the other party forgot to take the pistol in his bag, and hurriedly went downstairs to hand it over to the driver, but found that the car had already left.

You really don't know what to do with such a dangerous thing, which is why I've been looking for Saionji Mitsuri lately.

However, for a whole week, the other party's phone number has been unreachable, and the text messages sent have also been lost.

Even her sister did not know her whereabouts.

But fortunately, we finally met by chance today.

"You didn't bring a bodyguard?" You Yi scratched his head and asked.

"Well, I'm alone."

The moment Yu saw Yu Yi, he returned to his usual expression, and his face bloomed with the same soft smile as always, as if nothing had happened just now.

You Yi tried not to let himself care about this kind of thing, and restrained himself from asking why the other party had that expression before.

Then he said, "Last time you had something left." ”

"What?" Hikari asked.

Yu Yi stopped, turned sideways towards the light, and gestured with his right hand to a pistol gesture under the cover of the palm of his left hand.

Only then did the light react, and hurriedly said: "I'm afraid it won't work now, I'll let you in a while-"

There was a faint apology in his tone, because he realized that the boy must have been distressed for a long time because of this neglect of himself.

And the reason why I want to stop talking is because I suddenly feel some kind of reluctance in my heart.

It means that the events of that day will come to an end, and the ties between the two that have not been completely broken because of the events of that day will also be broken, and the two will have nothing to do with each other from then on.

I don't want this residual connection to disappear completely.

"Huh?"

"I'll have someone pick it up later." Hikari restrained his reluctance, not wanting the boy to continue to be distressed because of this matter.

Hikari didn't know that the young man actually had an inexplicable reluctance in his heart that was very similar to himself.

"Okay." You nodded, and then took the initiative to find a topic, "Your sister doesn't know your whereabouts at all, and the phone can't be reached at all." ”

"I don't use my cell phone much." The light lied that the real situation was that his personal phone was smashed by himself last week.

Just the day before the engagement, on January 11th, he was shattered.

"But she seems to be longing for you..."

The word longing makes the mouth of the light bitter.

I don't know if my sister will continue to dream of herself if she knows her true self.

If she had been at the engagement party that day, she would have had that wistful look and would have blessed herself with all her heart.

But as everyone knows, that kind of expression and sincere blessing are the most difficult things to face.

Therefore, even this engagement tried all means to hide it from her.

At this time, he glanced at the ring on Hikari on his hand, and although he wondered why Sanhua didn't tell him about the engagement in his reply to his message, Yuichi still said politely.

"Congratulations."

A flash of surprise flashed in the light, and then he glanced at the ring on the middle finger of his left hand, and a disgust instantly surged into his heart, drowning him.

"Nanhu-san, don't talk to Sanhua about this."

Hikari smiled brightly, but Yuichi noticed that her joints were a little white, as if she was trying to hide the ring.

"Why?" You asked subconsciously.

"Children should not be casual about adults."

"I'm sorry."

"Wouldn't you hate being treated like a child?" Hikari was surprised by Yuichi's attitude, because he accepted it so casually!

"When did I give you the impression that someone who lives for other people's opinions, and sometimes, I think it's nice to be treated like a child."

The light was silent for a moment, and nodded lightly without denial: "Indeed, being a child is quite happy." ”

"Of course, there are some things I still don't like to be treated like a child."

"What's the matter?" Hikari asked subconsciously.

The corners of You Yi's mouth hooked up a smile, and a pleasure like revenge rose in his heart.

Seeing that the boy didn't answer, he instantly understood that the boy was deliberately hanging his appetite for revenge, so he couldn't help but smile.

"Because it's just a political marriage." After Mitsuri finished speaking, he looked at Yuichi, meaning that it was the other party's turn.

"I seem to hear a very advanced word that civilians like us don't use." You Yi complained, tilted his head and thought for a moment, "I can't tell what exactly is the thing that will be unhappy when you are seen as a child, what is clear is that you are a little unhappy as a child, it is true." ”

Hikari was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and covered his mouth and laughed.

"What kind of answer is this... Hehehehe..."

"I don't want to say it either, okay? But who told you to say it first, you have to be sincere yourself in the face of other people's sincerity! You Yi argued, always feeling that his face was a little burning.

"Then how do you know I've just told the truth?"

"Your expression was different at that moment."

This answer once again stunned Hikari for a long time before he raised his head and invited Yuyi as if he had taken off his guard and breathed a sigh of relief: "Do you want to eat together?" ”
